At 9 a.m. on March 13, 1944, the Luftwaffe ace, Major Rudel, the "King of Stuka" led a three-aircraft formation to attack. This time their target was still Soviet tanks.

Rudel's landline was a ju-87g painted with a poisonous snake pattern on his body. In the early days of World War II, Nazi Germany, one of the Axis powers, swept across the European continent with a "blitzkrieg".

In addition to the terrifying armored forces, the famous precise ground-to-ground weapon ju-87      "Stuka" in the Luftwaffe.

The ju-87g bomber is the ultimate model of the ju-87 series. It is a special single-shot two-seater anti-tank striker equipped with a 37mm BK37 machine gun and equipped with a tungsten core armor-piercing bomb.

The initial velocity of the muzzle is 850 meters per second, and the attack tank from the rear and above is very obvious.

In addition to the driver, there is also a machine gun shooter on the plane.

This type of aircraft was tested in March 1943, but the additional armor made the aircraft more weight, which was very dangerous for new pilots. Only a few ace pilots achieved good results.

It is obvious that Major Rudel, the "King of Stuka", is the king of the kings.

Rudel was the German with the highest medal in the war, and even received a medal specially for him that symbolized the highest honor of the German army: the "Diamond Gold Double Swords Gold Oak Leaf Knight Medal".

This medal was completely handmade and inlaid with 50 diamonds. It was the highest-level military medal in Germany at that time.

Rudel's specialty is to destroy enemy armored vehicles from the air and create mythical records that others will never reach.

His record includes destroying 519 Soviet tanks equivalent to five complete Soviet armored brigades strengthened in the late Soviet-German War, eliminating the Soviet army with 150 artillery positions, nearly 1,000 other vehicles, 70 landing ships, 2 La-3 fighters, 1 il-2 strike aircraft, sunk the battleship "Mara", and sank two other cruisers and one destroyer.

On January 1, 1945, when he was awarded the medal, the head of state proudly said to him: "You are the greatest and bravest soldier that the German people have ever possessed."

In order to eliminate him, the Soviet Union took great pains to deal with it. Comrade Si once offered a reward of 100,000 rubles to buy his head.

At the same time, he was shot down 32 times, and the crash site was mostly enemy-occupied areas, but he was able to escape safely every time.

He has a record of 2,530 combat dispatches, and has dispatched more than once a day in an average of 6 years, without taking any leave or rest.

Even when he was performing his mission later, Ruld was injured by ground air defense fire and caused amputation. After installing the prosthetic, he still did not give up and resolutely returned to the Blue Sky to continue serving!

And just today, what was originally just an ordinary attack mission has become the most thrilling and unforgettable life-and-death battle in Rudel's service career.

On the same day and at the same time, Shostarkv, the commander of the Soviet 69th Aviation Regiment, led the team to attack.

"Discover German fighter jets at nine o'clock!"

"Oh my God, isn't that the car of Rudel, the top German ace?"

"What, today we actually met this demon!"

When passing over the Nester River, Shostakf and others suddenly found the "Stuka" car painted with poisonous snake patterns.

There is no way, the shadow of the famous tree, the Soviet pilots have long known this top German ace pilot who has long been famous and hate it to the core.

Rudel is a super tank killer in the Luftwaffe and the world-famous "King of Stuka". He created a war myth in the history of world air combat, and reached the height of unprecedented and unparalleled successors!

But for the Soviet army, he was already the number one "death angel" on the Eastern Front. Because he destroyed a large number of Soviet tanks, he had already become the prey coveted by Soviet pilots. Even Comrade Si offered a reward and wanted order.

Obviously, if anyone can shoot him down, it will mean supreme glory.

"Comrades, immediately enter the battle, and today we cannot let this demon escape from us anyway!"

"You must not let him come! Charge!"

"Ula!Ula!"

As the saying goes, the enemy was very jealous when they met. When they saw Rudel's sexy snake-patterned car, several Soviet fighter jets, including Shostarkf, rushed over like chicken blood.

Soon, over the Transniest River on the eastern front, a thrilling life-and-death showdown of top aces was held.

The word "Ace" was originally coined by the French in World War I, referring to pilots who shot down 5 or more aircraft in air combat. "Ace" has become synonymous with excellent pilots.

According to statistics, 40% of the enemy aircraft shot down by pilots from various countries in the two world wars were aces, which only accounted for 4% of the total number of pilots!

It can be seen from this that in the war, the ace truly played the role of a pillar in the army with one as ten.

However, in actual air battles, there are relatively few opportunities for aces to compete face to face with each other. On the one hand, there are fewer opportunities for meeting each other. On the other hand, even if we meet, we are experts, usually no one can do anything to each other. The duels between top aces are even rarer.

But today, a top ace life-and-death showdown was staged here. The attacking side was the Soviet Air Force ace, the commander of the 69th Aviation Regiment, Shostarkff, and the defending side was the Luftwaff, the "King of Stuka" Rudel.

Shostarkf's fighter jet is the most advanced La-5fn fighter jet in the Soviet Union. It was one of the main fighters of the Soviet Union in the middle and late stages of World War II. It is considered to be the best overall performance of the Soviet Union at that time.

This model uses an m-82pn engine with fuel nozzle technology to improve high altitude performance, while reducing the height of the rear fuselage and adopting a new cockpit to improve the field of view in all directions. Its performance can not only compete with the bf-109g, but also comparable to the fw-190.

Shostarkf himself was also very awesome. He led the 69th Aviation Regiment to have a fierce air battle with 14 German Air Force me.109s, and achieved a stunning record of shooting down 9 me.109s, but his side did not lose any losses.

Before today, Shostarkf had performed 200 flight missions, participated in 32 air battles, and achieved the results of shooting down 15 enemy aircraft.

It seems that this result is not ranked among the last Soviet aces, but don’t forget that it is March 1944. At this time, the Soviet Air Force had just stood up, and the Soviet No. 1 ace, Kuori Dub, has only shot down 20 enemy planes.

"Damn the devil, let's see where you escape today!"

The collision between power is always so simple and crude. Shostarkf led his subordinates to launch a resolute attack. In a short period of time, the German plane was destroyed and fled, while he himself "bited" Rudel's landline.

"Why is this damn Russian so difficult?"
