General Report ..................................................................................................................................................................... (6.)
Sortied for incoming commie bandits approaching from the east. Took off and headed east and sighted bandits which consisted of six Il-2s stacked heading west toward Anapa. Informed my comrades who could not find them so I rolled in to attack, engaged bandits and proceeded to attack from the 6'oclock position. No return fire was noted and was able to shoot three down before they turned back east, engaged one more bandit using 7.9mm bb guns and was able to finish one off before I ran out of ammo. The remaining bandits kept heading east after I turned back toward Anapa. Landed at Anapa intact with no damage but jittery nerves from engaging the cement trucks.
