Petersburg air force base.

"Why, haven't my fighter been repaired?" In the maintenance hangar, karariksin asked anxiously as he watched several maintenance personnel busy on his plane.

"Lieutenant, you are worried, and we are also worried. But look, your belly has been wiped out. We must replace it with a new one, or the plane will disintegrate when you fly in the air. How did the mig-3 pass the finalization? There are a lot of faults. This landing gear can't be put down. It's not the first time."

As the maintenance foreman spoke, he pushed the board in front of him with a plane. The shavings came out of the plane and looked very good.

In this era, advanced fighters in many countries have long been made of metal materials, but the output of excellent aviation aluminum in the Soviet Union is far from enough to meet the consumption of aviation forces. Therefore, the mig-3, like many other aircraft, still adopts wooden structure.

Its body structure is all wood, and three and two layers of 1mm thick plywood are used in the middle of the wing and the skin of the tail, which greatly simplifies the production process.

At the same time, maintenance is also convenient. In the maintenance team, there must be a qualified carpenter who can repair where it is broken. Anyway, there are forests everywhere in the Soviet Union, and there is no lack of wood.

Karariksin came out of the hangar with anxiety on his face. Now, the news from the front line has come. The German bomber forces in Berlin took off an hour ago. They will soon fly over Petersburg to bomb. This is a great battle to defend Petersburg. This is the cradle of the October Revolution and must not be ravaged by the Germans.

He wanted to take off to defend the airspace, but his plane couldn't be used, which made him very anxious.

Out of the maintenance hangar, karariksin ran to the combat readiness duty room to find a way where he wanted to go.

"Lechkarov, let's go and fight and cruise." Carrying his flying cap, berkeshkin said to his wingman.

According to the German voyage, they can't reach Petersburg for the time being, but now they are going to take off and cruise to meet the enemy at any time. At the same time, when the enemy reaches its own defense radius, they call a large number of fighters to take off to meet the enemy.

The battle will break out over the Baltic Sea. Try to block German aviation in the west of Petersburg and prevent the Germans from bombing their own cities.

Early warning is very important, and berkershkin undertook such a task.

"Yes." Lechkarov picked up his flying hat and wanted to go out with pockeleshkin, but at this time, his body was shaking.

At this time, karariksin was able to come to him and hold him properly. His hand crossed lechkarov's forehead and was immediately surprised: "Comrade lechkarov, you have a fever!"

"It's all right. I can do it." Lechkarov broke free from karariksin's hand and wanted to follow bockleshkin forward.

Damn it, I should have listened to berkeshkin yesterday.

When lechkarov flew over yesterday, he didn't buckle his cockpit cover, which is almost a habit of him. He can't change it anyway, but unexpectedly, he caught a cold and had a fever yesterday.

He always insisted, for fear of being discovered by others, that he could not fly a fighter when he was ill, so he could not take off for battle. He didn't want to miss such a battle.

After hearing karariksin's words, pokreshkin turned around, reached out his hand and touched lechkarov's forehead. He was also very serious: "lechkarov, you're burning badly. Why don't you report in advance? You go to the infirmary. Don't take off again today. "

"But I'm your wingman. If I don't take off with you, no one will protect you behind you." Lechkarov said anxiously.

"I, I!" Karariksin's eyes lit up: "I've been flying on the mig-3 for more than 50 hours. I'm experienced. My plane hasn't been repaired yet. I can just perform the task with you."

In my heart, karariksin was even happy. Lechkarov was so ill that he made a plane for himself.

"I won't let you touch my fighter." When he heard this, lechkarov became even more worried. His hand even became a fist and came to the bridge of karariksin's nose. You boy, dare to pick up my leak!

"Lechkarov, execute the order!" Pokreshkin doesn't care about lechkarov's mood now. He always turns a deaf ear to his words. This time, it's time to teach lechkarov a lesson and let him have a long memory.

Pokreshkin looked at karariksin again. He still remembered the scene a few hours ago when karariksin landed bravely with a fighter without landing gear. He was a firm pilot with skilled skills and could follow him on his mission.

"Come on, follow me." Said berkershkin.

"Long live!" Karariksin gave a shout of joy, left lechkarov, who was angry in his eyes, and ran out.

Mig-3 is developed from mig-1. It is as ugly as mig-1. The long nose in front occupies almost half of the fuselage length. The cockpit is in the middle. When sitting in the cockpit, the high nose in front blocks all forward vision and can't see anything.

Pilots are used to all this. The front must be high, or the propeller will hit the ground. Although they can't see in front, they just need to see both sides.

The liquid cooled am-37 engine emitted black smoke. With the violent vibration, the engine roared and started normally.

Karariksin looked at the front of the cabin and there was a small hanging picture of a young girl. It seemed that she was lechkarov's lover. This guy always seemed to like to violate some discipline. It was forbidden to hang these photos in the plane.

Karariksin took off the photo, put it in his pocket and return it to lechkarov when he returned.

"877, take off with me in formation." There was a voice from the headset.

"877 received." Pushing the accelerator lever and releasing the brake, the two mig-3 skidded onto the runway and rushed to the sky quickly.

Mig-3 is one of the best fighters in the Soviet Union, which is reflected in the fast climbing speed. They continued to climb, pulled the fighter to an altitude of 10000 meters, and then flew West over the Baltic Sea.

This battle cruise, they should find German bombers as soon as possible. It is a long-range mission. Therefore, auxiliary fuel tanks are mounted on the wings on both sides of them, which can enable them to have a patrol radius of more than 500 kilometers.

"877, pay attention to visual search." Pokreshkin continued his command.

Formation flying must be familiar with it. Although his wingman is skilled, the cooperation between the two sides can not be said, so berkershkin had to remind him more.
