Chapter 392 Steel Torrent Battle in Beiping (5)
The red menstrual pictures painted on the upper and lower wings and on both sides of the fuselage are particularly conspicuous in the morning light. The Type 96 fighter with a large head, thick tail, thin wings and extremely small wings fully reflects the aesthetic view of the Japanese. It is almost against the thin layer of the skeleton and skin of the Venus-40 engine, which is smooth and smooth to the bottom. The shorter pilot in the short cockpit shrank his neck slightly, and the vision ahead is very wide. He listens to the almost "pleasant" roar of the engine in his ears, and it feels extremely happy!
The 96th-style of a brigade represents the highest level flight speed in the world today and the best air maneuverability. It represents the hope of the Japanese Air Force. It flies directly from the local area, refuels and rushes to the battlefield. Looking at the dive bomber formation that has already escaped in a hurry to the distance, the carefully selected Japanese aviation elites cursed: "Coward! Shameless coward!"
Of course, no matter whether the other party is a proprietary type of ground attack, they will not fight with air-optimized fighters like them. They are not so stupid and have no time to serve.
However, they were not lonely. From a distance from a high altitude, another group of fighter jets was approaching rapidly in the southern sky dozens of kilometers away. The familiar aerodynamic appearance made the Japanese elites see at a glance that they were old enemies. This spring, they just sold a group of guys who supported Han Fuju and those Nakadao fighter jets on the Shandong battlefield---p-21c!
The First Naval Aviation Regiment of the Task Force, 3 squadrons, and a total of 36 main fighter jets all set out from Jinan and followed the bomber group toward the Peking battlefield. The so-called military exercise limit of "only 24 fighter jets are allowed to be dispatched". No one took it seriously.
Huang Panyang, the commander of the First Regiment, personally flew a P-21c fighter jet and flew stably at an altitude of 2,000 meters at a speed of 500 kilometers. Looking at the Japanese army's aggressive formation from afar, the first thing that arose in his heart was not excitement, but frustration.
What made him sick was that the command received the order before going to war: "The Air Force's combat mission is to hold back the Japanese army and stubbornly with it until the end of the war. Do not advance rashly and cause too much damage, and do not let it get a gap to pose a threat to the ground forces."
In a word, no victory is allowed. How did such a fucking order be delivered? The official explanation is: "We cannot unilaterally stimulate the Japanese army to invest too much research in the air force. This will cause serious imbalance."
In private, Gongro's misunderstanding is another way: "Boss Zhu means that we force the Japanese to continuously improve and research high-speed fighter jets. Now we can come to an end. We have to stop and make more and then attack."
The Japanese are struggling with continuous failures, and the continuous upgraded fighter jets with tightened their belts. The progress made in the past few years is obvious to all. This task force doesn't care. Because in terms of research speed, the United States can temporarily be stronger than them - they have many people, large territory, and large resources. But in terms of fighter jet echelons, quality, and strength of force, it is undoubtedly the world's leading. Various advanced aircraft models are in production in a fixed manner, and can be used if necessary.
But this creates a problem. The Japanese always produce a new fighter in small batches. Then quickly eliminate and launch new ones, which does not suffer much overall resource loss. Piston fighter jets are not like other ones, and the production lines are basically universal. It would be a loss to be a unilateral instructor.
So after confirming that Japan had developed faster fighter jets, the General Staff formulated a new plan, which was to create the illusion that they were already powerful enough to surpass when facing new Japanese aircraft on the battlefield. With the Japanese's eagerness for quick success and instant benefits, once they found that there was an overwhelming possibility, they would definitely start the production line and make a life-long manufacturing. At that time, one or two thousand or even more similar fighter jets might come out. After they consumed a lot of resources, it would not be too late to take action to clean up.
The prerequisite for doing this is to have a strong enough reserve of checks and balances. Another thing is to have a full confidence in the level of pilots who control the battle situation and act as bait, and should not sacrifice blindly.
Huang Panyang didn't have the time to think about the strategic level, but he was responsible for it in person in tactics. Such a fucking task was brought down by a hard-core one. No one robbed the bet. He had to go on the battle more than once, beating the cabin glass and scolding the person who came up with this bad idea. It was so fucking nonsense!
What's even more nonsense is the aircraft research and manufacturing. The P-21c equipped with a 1,200-horsepower ultra-light engine has great potential. The excellent aerodynamic layout design gives her excellent wind resistance and balance. On the basis of exerting the design maneuverability as much as possible, it ensures strong armor defense. If the flat flight speed is relaxed, it will definitely reach an amazing level. According to rumors, this model can be completed until 580 kilometers.
But when they got to their hands, they were stuck at a maximum speed of 535 kilometers per hour, because in order to save resources and ensure the engine life to the greatest extent. Besides, where are there so many high speed targets in the world where they hurriedly opened up their full potential?
This is a very unpleasant thing for pilots who pursue speed. Adding all kinds of unpleasantness together, Huang Panyang looked at the Japanese army fleet from afar how awkward it was!
The distance between dozens of kilometers was apart, which was only two or three minutes at the combined speed of 1,000 kilometers between the two armies. Huang Panyang shouted on the radio: "Be careful! Follow the scheduled combat plan, don't do anything nonsense!"
But I called the wingman, and first controlled the thick-skinned fighter jets to climb three thousand meters, and seized the limelight towards the east sky in the direction of sunrise. Then I saw the Japanese aircraft group in the distance scattering. A brigade of Type 96 plus more than a dozen Type 95 single-wing all-metal fighters formed an advantageous number, and began to seize the height and backlight direction with a smaller turning radius and a higher climbing rate!
Another dozen Type 95 fighter jets continued to move forward, and immediately found that the armored troops rushing out of the thick smoke from below, crushing the Japanese tank chariot troops with smoke, and the second tank battalion that was running happily and the artillery battalion that followed was too conspicuous and tempting. More than a dozen fighter jets immediately plunged without hesitation, rolled up their sleeves towards the tank formation and prepared to start working!
The accompanying radar car had already been quarreling for a long time. Deputy Commander Yang Yamin stretched out his head to look at the fighter jets flying like vultures in the sky, and felt very upset. Although he knew that the Japanese cannon might not be able to do anything about the tank, the weak tail and fuel tank were still very dangerous. If it was blown up, it would be too embarrassing. He quickly greeted: "All units should pay attention to air defense!"
The two air defense companies quickly set off about one kilometer apart. The single-mounted 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns modified with the "Badger"-style infantry fighting vehicle as the base version, the double-mounted 25mm Erickon machine guns, and the 4-mounted 12.7mm Browning heavy machine guns all raised barrels of varying lengths. The main battle tank and the side tilted fire rockets of the infantry fighting vehicle were launched "all of them" to the sky. In a blink of an eye, the two battlefields, which were several square kilometers in the radius of several square kilometers, were covered with smoke, mixed with the fireworks caused by the battle just now, slowly surging against the ground, swelling with the wind, and their vision suddenly became impossible!
Subsequently, the anti-aircraft machine guns of each tank were pulled to the maximum elevation angle, and the main control radar in the vehicle was quickly reported a series of calculation azimuth angles and dispersed through the radio.
The sound of the rumbling torrent of iron armor paused for a moment, and the clanging sound of the tracks collided. The earth, which had been noisy for more than half an hour, suddenly silent, and only the low buzzing of the engine and the pleasant sound of the turret turning were heard.
All of this was invisible to the dive! Suddenly, the smoke rose and densely. The three Type 95 fighters at the forefront tried hard to lower the height to less than 50 meters, and swept the ground at a speed of nearly 500 kilometers per hour, causing huge winds and waves to sweep the smoke from the ground into three passages. The fireworks were forced to spread violently against the ground, like the sea surface split by a speedboat, revealing the scattered tanks and self-propelled artillery below!
"Haha! I saw the Chinese chariot and started!"
The other ten Japanese aircraft were ecstatic and pressed down the head of the aircraft and rushed in. In a blink of an eye, Yang Yamin narrowed his eyes slightly, listened to the rapid height data from the radar vehicle, and smiled coldly, and growled: "The air defense firepower is fully activated! Fight!"
"Dongdongdongdongdongdong..." Suddenly, a dense roar rose in the smoke and dust, and the gun barrels raised like forests sprayed out dazzling flames! The 40mm Bofors cannon was shaking the track chassis at a speed of up to 80 rounds per minute. The 60-fold slender tube quickly stretched and retracted slightly, hitting small shells at high speed into the sky ahead, and the timed fuses were guaranteed to explode suddenly at a distance of 1,000 meters!
At the same time, 650 rounds per minute, a double-unit machine cannon with a total of 1,350 rounds were fired side by side. Small cannonballs as thick as thumbs were hanging like hail, forming a traceable fire net, and long whips were like death scythes that slashed the sky. In a flash, a killing trap that would cause death if touched!
The projectiles emitted by the four-unit heavy machine gun in an instant were comparable to metal storms. They were mixed with various shells and sprinkled into the sky like heavy rain. For a moment, the light shone and the earth shook!
The surprise on the faces of the three Japanese pilots passing by instantly solidified! They didn't even have time to let out a scream. In an instant, each of them was hit by at least hundreds of large-diameter bullets and more than a dozen small shells. Three "boom boom" explosions sounded in a second, regardless of the order. The broken high-strength aluminum alloy ignited a large fire and crashed straight into the ground!
The battle between aluminum alloy and the earth once again proves that the earth will never fail.
Another dozen fighter jets have just turned their attitude and dived for a few seconds, but for anti-aircraft shells, the distance of kilometer is just a flight distance of one second!
Looking from a high altitude, I saw a sudden boiling in the smoke. Dozens or hundreds of places suddenly sank into vortexes of different sizes. Then dazzling light spots flashed, and then bullets and shells swarmed in, filling the vision of more than a dozen pilots. Before they could dodge, they felt the fuselage vibrated violently, as if they were hit hard by countless hammers. Then, the dense impact sound of a burst of beans was transmitted to the cochlea. When they looked again, they were already full of holes!
In order to pursue maximum speed and combat performance, the aircraft designed by Japan use the thinnest skin and skeletons as much as possible, as long as they do not disintegrate in fierce battles, the rest of the power is added to firepower.
Igarashi high-strength aluminum alloy has extremely high tensile resistance, much better than ordinary steel, and its weight is only one-third. It is indeed a good material for making aircraft. But too thin materials mean the extreme reduction in protective performance. If you don’t get hit, you will be killed immediately. There is no other possibility!
The planes hit by machine guns and Bofos shells immediately turned into dazzling fireballs, and exploded in the sky with "booming" and bloody pieces of pilot corpses mixed in the splashed aluminum alloy, which were scattered one after another. Most of the bullets that were followed were subdivided into smaller pieces before they landed!
The unprecedented power of the intensive air defense firepower fixed-point strike is indescribable to the parties involved! Unlike the previous single-player chasing the plane and firing in vain, they have advanced radar fire control, and they have grouped together to form a fire blocking network and concentrate firepower to name a single name. That lethality is that even their own fighter jets are difficult to break through, not to mention the Japanese army with no experience at all!
More than a dozen Type 95 fighter jets that thought they could get a bargain lost nine on the spot! The rest were injured and hurriedly climbed up like frightened sparrows and flew towards the high altitude so as to escape the range.
But it is obvious that they thought it was too simple! The shooting height of heavy machine guns may not work, but the killing range of machine guns and Bofos cannons specially designed for air defense is much larger, with no pressure at any height of three thousand meters. The head-tail pursuit of more than a dozen large and small artillery fire left them with no chance. The small shells that kept blowing themselves "bang bang" could easily penetrate the skin of their fighter aircraft, either damaging the engine or cutting the oil path. The fuel tank without self-protected design immediately rushed out. The squeaking alarm sound and the collision of thunder made the Japanese pilots feel cold all over!
In the end, only three fighter planes were left to escape to the north in a panic!
Yang Yamin smacked his lips and sighed: "I believe that from now on, Japanese planes will not easily dive into our ground forces."
In the sky less than ten kilometers away, more than 60 fighter jets from both China and Japan quickly entangled in one place. The Japanese Type 96 fighter jets, who were taking the lead with the climb rate and speed, turned around and launched an attack first. The three aircraft formations each looked for their targets. After a short shot, they immediately pressed and snatched each other to fight.
Huang Panyang was startled by the new tactics he gave to them and exclaimed: "The Japanese have learned to form a group to fight, which is not great!" He quickly called the wingman to speed up and escape from the interceptor surface horizontally.
The Japanese pilots in the past had no tactics. The things they learned from the European battlefield were full of the style of air knights showing off their combat skills. They either fought alone or forced them to do dog fights. Once there were too many planes, they began to be confused. There was no way to talk about the so-called tactics.
Maybe I have fought back and forth with the Special Service Fleet a lot, and finally I have summarized some experience. Since you are all in two-machine formations, our three-machine formations are more people than you and faster than you, I can't kill them if I don't believe it!
They had nine fighter jets in one squadron, divided into three formations, constantly siegeing and fighting. With their mobility and speed, they immediately made Huang Panyang and others flee!!!
