Chapter 55 One-sided air battle (2)!
The sky was dark, and thick lead clouds were heavy over the land of East China, seeming to be pregnant with an unknown storm!
Three Nakajima Type-3 carrier-based fighter jets slowly slid across the sky, followed closely by three Type-13 carrier-based bombers. There was no visible formation at all, and they were swimming lazily like a picnic.
Captain Nogiji Ikuta, the captain of the naval flight team, tried his best to keep his eyes wide open and observed the surrounding situation through his goggles. The cold wind that hit his face penetrated into his simple and thick clothes, making his whole body stiff with cold, but in his heart he felt
There was a burst of fire that kept him alert.
A few days ago, he and several other pilots took off from the OUHK Textile Factory and suddenly encountered two new American fighter planes. After a fierce fight, they not only did not cause any harm to each other, but actually injured three of them. Until now
None of them worked. Such a result not only made the Commander very angry, but also made him, an elite, feel extremely humiliated!
In the past few days, I heard that the two fighter planes were hovering in the sky near Jiading. I don’t know when they will come to the Shanghai airspace for another confrontation. Nogiji Ikuta secretly vowed that once they meet, they must give him a good look! The dignity of the Japanese Navy cannot be tolerated.
Intrusion!
But, where will that guy be? He won't run away as cowardly as those Chinese people, right?
"They probably won't come out in such weather. Guys with no combat experience at all, holding a few planes like treasures, they..."
Ikuta Nogiji was making up excuses for the Chinese Air Force when suddenly two huge black shadows swooped over from the clouds like hawks from the corner of his eyes. Between the lightning and flint, he could see clearly that they were the two orange-painted aircraft.
American plane!
"Enemy attack! Fight!"
Regardless of whether the other planes could hear it or not, Ikuta Nogiji let out a throat-breaking roar and pulled the nose of the plane toward the two planes, about to fly upward. However, it was obviously a step too late. Not only did the other two planes occupy a height advantage, but they suddenly
The acceleration was also much faster than theirs. In the blink of an eye, two Boeing 218 destroyers passed over the heads of three Nakajima IIIs and forced three Type 13s to bombard them. Four tongues of flames sprayed out at the same time, flying in the middle.
Captain Xiao Gujin was the first to bear the brunt, being whipped with a fire whip in a single game!
"Ah——!" Xiao Gujin had no time to react. His whole chest was beaten to pieces by six 7.62mm heavy machine gun bullets, and his head exploded with a "bang", and the splattered blood directly covered the back.
Machine gunner look!
The pilot who was lucky enough to escape the disaster was in a panic. He screamed strangely and stepped on the rudder, turning his head and turning down to avoid it. However, his companion on the left was revealed. The other two 13-ship bombers certainly didn't want to wait to be beaten. They all attacked.
As soon as I turned around, the three machines suddenly distanced themselves like morning glory!
The experienced Robert Short succeeded with one blow, and his confidence increased sharply. He opened his mouth slightly in excitement, and in his busy schedule, he gestured to Kyorō on the right, pushed the nose of the aircraft and chased after the injured Japanese aircraft.
, the powerful Pratt & Whitney R-1340 engine burst out with a piercing roar, instantly pushing the power to the extreme, but within two breaths, the two machines merged into a straight line again!
Short didn't hesitate to pull the trigger and fired a long burst. Two streams of fire created brilliant sparks on the butt of the 13th ship. The broken templates and broken steel wires flew all over the sky in an instant.
The last machine gunner fell down with a "hoo" sound, and the out-of-control plane spun and rolled and fell downwards, with billowing black smoke leaving a thick and ominous trail!
"Woohoo! The first one!" Short excitedly waved his fist and let out a strange scream of joy. He pushed the fighter plane to turn around and rush into the sky, facing the three anxious Nakajima Sanshis who were not afraid.
Rush over!
Behind the back, another 13-ship bomber that was originally on the right had turned around. Seeing that Short had his butt pointed towards him, he was immediately overjoyed. The pilot pulled up the nose of the aircraft to calibrate the direction. Just as he was about to return the favor, he unexpectedly stabbed him diagonally.
Another Boeing 218 suddenly accelerated like a ghost, and while it was rushing in an arc, the two machine guns fired fiercely, hitting the 13th ship in the middle and punching a series of holes. The aircraft was not very strong in the first place.
The whole body groaned immediately, and a thick smoke billowed up along with the fire. Half of the machine gunner at the rear was completely rotten, and he was too dead to die!
Short, a veteran of the Air Force, knew about the coordinated operation of two aircraft, but he had never practiced it in actual combat. However, it was the first time for the young Kyorō to do so. He followed behind and hit the target with effect. He immediately gave the Japanese Air Force, which had little experience in air combat, a head start.
Here comes a hard hit!
"Haga!" Ikuta Nogiji roared angrily! In the blink of an eye, two weak 13-ship bombardments killed one and injured one. The Imperial Flying Team has never encountered such casualties since its debut. It was simply
It’s unforgivable!
Roaring in his mouth, Ikuta drove the Nakajima Three-Style to the maximum speed, and shot a bullet at Short without any explanation. However, Short did not really fight stupidly against the three of them. Just before the bullet was fired,
Suddenly, he pushed the nose of the plane and plunged into the low altitude, letting the bullets miss the tail!
The flexibility and speed of the Boeing 218 are significantly higher than those of the Nakajima III. This almost somersault-like movement was actually not forced at all. It turned around in a sharp turn, leaving three Japanese fighters behind, and intercepted the injured aircraft.
Diagonally across from the 13th ship, two machine guns fired again, which immediately made the opponent worse. Four or five of the bullets penetrated the casing of the engine, and a thick smoke billowed up. The entire 13th ship trembled violently, like a tuberculosis patient.
After a cough, the propeller stopped turning!
"Second one! Yes!" Short shouted cheerfully, swung his wings and turned sideways to avoid the bullets fired from the thorns. He passed by Gong Lang and instantly changed positions. Gong Lang's pale face flashed.
With a trace of ruthlessness, he revved the engine to the end with one kick, and rushed towards the last 13th ship that had just recovered from his soul like a desperado!
The 13-ship bombardment was so frightening! They never imagined that the opponent would adopt such tactics. It was so easy to pick up the slack! The flexibility of the 13-ship bombardment was not as good as the Nakajima three-style, and the reaction speed was also slow.
To get one step ahead, the opponent's two already much superior fighter planes shamelessly suppressed each other and fought. This is not the type of bully!
Although the Japanese pilots were arrogant, they were able to bully the Chinese Army, which had little air defense capabilities. Against the experienced Americans, they showed their rookie nature! Seeing Kyorō's desperate attack, he almost subconsciously pulled up the plane and tried to jump into the clouds.
Dodge, this pull doesn't matter, the weak belly of the aircraft is exposed!
Although Gonglang is new to the game, he has the unique spirit of young people, and his reaction speed is not unusually fast! Following the enemy plane's maneuver, he pulled up the nose of the plane and opened fire violently, as if the bullets were free of charge.
He fired more than two hundred rounds with his breath, and the two fire whips zigzagged in the air like water jets. Finally, he caught up with the enemy plane, and "Puff-Puff-Puff" swept off both its left wings, and finally a No. 13 ship
Todoroki suddenly lost his balance, and his body tilted and slid low into the sky!
"Haha! I hit him!" Gonglang cheered happily, raised his fist and waved hard. Before he could be happy for a few seconds, suddenly a barrage of bullets came diagonally. He hurriedly swung his body to avoid it, and heard
There was a crisp "bang bang" sound outside the cockpit, and it was hit by three 7.7mm heavy machine gun bullets. From the corner of my eye, I saw three large holes popping out of the shell of the machine over there!
"It's safe!" Gonglang felt a panic in his heart. Fortunately, Zhu Bin modified the protection before leaving, otherwise he would have been injured this time. Little Japan is not a fuel-efficient lamp!
After being frightened, his anger was even more aroused. He turned around in the air, parallel to Short's fighter plane, one high and one low, aiming diagonally at the Japanese planes that were approaching from three sides.
He screamed and rushed out at maximum power!
Chapter completed!
