Jacques-1 is a long-range fighter with a maximum range of 850 kilometers. After hanging the auxiliary fuel tank, the range can exceed 1000 kilometers. In this way, as long as the Soviet air force takes off from the border, it can escort to Moscow.

This is also the reason why they chose jacques-1. This is the most representative aircraft selected by the Soviet air force from its own active aircraft. With excellent flight performance and sufficient maximum speed, it is definitely the best escort aircraft.

However, they did not expect to be fooled by the Germans.

The Germans fly too high!

Jacques-1 does not pay special attention to high-altitude performance, and the maximum will not exceed 10000 meters, which does not seem to be a big problem, because in the study of repeated combat missions in Germany, it can be found that the German Air Force has hardly flown at an altitude of more than 10000 meters.

At the same time, Germany's proudest Atlantic airliner was not found to have flown 10000 meters.

Now, people fly at an altitude of more than 11000 meters!

The escort was in the charge of General Alexander Alexandrovich Novikov, the most outstanding Soviet air force. When he heard what was said on the radio, he was stunned and then reacted.

"Fly under each other until our new convoy arrives." He gave an order to the 11th fighter regiment, then turned around and said to the people on the side: "immediately mobilize mig-1 fighter units and let them meet the visit of the German fleet over Belarus and escort them!"

There is no end to the pursuit of altitude. The reason is too simple. As long as your side can fly to this altitude and the other side can't, your side can fly freely, especially for bombers.

At the same time, there must be fighter planes that can fly to this altitude to intercept each other's bombers and ensure superiority.

The project of high-altitude interceptor has been started several years ago. The design index of this aircraft is at the altitude of 7000 meters, the maximum flight speed is 670 km / h, the ceiling is 13000 meters, and the am-35a water-cooled engine is adopted with a power of 1200 horsepower.

It's a pity that we don't pay enough attention to this project. After all, the most important thing now is to beat up advanced fighters that can compete with German fighters, not to build such high-altitude interceptors.

As a result, it was not until this year that the aircraft completed its test flight. So far, it is only equipped with about 20 troops.

Fortunately, you finally have it. If you don't have this plane, you'll have to be embarrassed to Moscow!

With Novikov's order, the mig-1 fighter force guards the 16th fighter aviation regiment and quickly entered the mission state.

Captain Alexander Ivanovic pokreshkin ran quickly to his plane, a brand-new mig-1 fighter.

Although his flying experience was not long, and he only graduated last year, the aviation school he studied was the most famous in the Soviet Union А.Ф. After coming out of the Kachin No. 1 pilot school named after miasnikov, he became one of the first pilots to fly mig-1 fighters because of his superb flying skills.

If you look from the outside, mig-1 is not beautiful. The front half of this aircraft is occupied by long engines. The pilot's cockpit is in the middle and rear position.

In this way, when taking off, the pilot can't see anything in front of him, and the field of vision is quite poor. In short, this is definitely not a good fighter.

After starting the engine smoothly, Captain pokreshkin gently pushed the accelerator lever and released the brake. Mig-1 taxied forward on the runway.

This aircraft is definitely not a good aircraft. In order to make it fly higher, we need to reduce the wing area. In this way, the wing unit load of mig-1 is very high, which leads to another problem, and the maneuverability is quite poor.

Because the wing load is small, the climb is poor. In order to make the climb performance of the aircraft meet the standard, aircraft designers simply and rudely reduce the aircraft's fuel load, which leads to its poor range.

Because the front engine occupies too much space, there is not much space to accommodate the fuel tank. In addition, the wing is forward, which makes the center of gravity of the aircraft backward, which makes it very difficult for the aircraft to roll.

It can be said that this aircraft can be used to intercept high-altitude fighters. If you use this aircraft to fight against the enemy's fighters, you will die miserably.

However, pokreshkin has used this fighter and its modified mig-3 to create miracles one after another. It can be seen that the final factor determining the victory or defeat of the battle is still people!

Now, the first contact between bockleshkin and the German Air Force came suddenly.

Behind him, three other fighters also took off one after another. They did not mobilize more planes to put them in immediately, but had to carry out their tasks in batches.

The reason is very simple. For their one wave aircraft, they simply can't complete the whole escort task for each other. Their voyage is limited and they need three wave relay escort.

Although it sounds a bit embarrassing, at least they can realize the escort mission, not like their own brother troops left in the air now. It's really embarrassing!

The German fleet is flying in the air of 12000 meters. Below them, at an altitude of 10000 meters, is the Soviet jacques-1 fleet. This scene is neither fish nor fowl.

"I really want to go down and say hello to the Soviets." The voice of a young pilot came from the radio: "ask them, is this an escort for us?"

"035, pay attention to discipline. We are carrying out the task of escorting the special plane of the head of state. If we violate discipline again, we will be directly expelled from the air force!" Heinz shouted on the radio.

The German army can be invincible by strict discipline. It can be said that the rigor of the Germans is as famous as the romance of the French and the nobility of the British.

Heinz was very happy at this time. Of course, he would go down and say hello if possible, but absolutely not now. Their task is to protect their own special plane. There can be no mistakes in this task!

He looked down from one side of his fuselage. The Soviet fleet must be embarrassed at this time, right?

But soon, his naked eye caught several bright spots in the air. Those bright spots continued to rise while flying!

"Attention, protect the special plane, 035036, go to intercept." Heinz shouted on the radio, "identify clearly, don't fire easily!"

Intuitively, Heinz thought it must be the new Soviet fighter coming to escort, but they didn't inform in advance, so their own side must intercept according to the preset plan!
