Which Luftwaffe unit active in Crimea in 1941?

Here is what I am working on. On 16 September 1941, German assault forces were moving into the Crimea, supported by aircraft. Capt Vasili Trubachenko, Hero of the Soviet Union and deputy commander of the 182 Fighter Regiment, went up flying a MIG and was hit by a German fighter. He crashed near the town of Krasnoperekopsk on Crimea. He supposedly shot down a German plane.

Capt Trubachenko was badly wounded and made a crash landing. He did not survive. He was buried in Simferopol. I have his military dossier from the Russian archives, but it gives no details about his last combat. The information on Russian google is sparse. He shot down 5 Japanese planes at Khalkin-Gol in 1939 and another 3 in the Great Patriotic War.

It would be great if I can find out the Luftwaffe unit which shot him down. Thank you for any help you can send my way!
