More than 60 fighter jets formed by Falcon and Zero, and more than 30 enemy planes were still at a disadvantage. They were beaten up and retreated step by step,
It is hard to imagine that most of the enemies in front of them are P40 fighter jets with poor maneuverability, which makes Colonel Yamaguchi, who is commanding the fleet of the aircraft, doubting his life. It's too far apart.
There are only ten formal pilots in this Japanese fighter jet formation, and all the others are rookies who have not been flying for a few days.
I thought they could just follow them and follow suit to make up for their mistakes, but who would have thought that even such a simple task could not be done. In less than half an hour of fighting, more than ten planes were shot down by the opponent...
Especially when the enemy leads them to low altitudes on land, experienced people can see something is wrong at a glance, because low-altitude maneuverage has always been the weakness of the P40, but rather the advantage of their own fighter jets. Their behavior of losing the ground is definitely a problem, and it is very likely that they want to use ground air defense weapons to deal with them.
Not to mention the Chinese, they often do this on the Pacific battlefield, so they are not sure during the air battle, so they try not to lick the ground without licking it. If you blame me, you don’t know where the fatal bullet will be shot from.
But those kids didn't know the depth at all, and kept following up to shoot down the opponent, but they were soon fucked into a fireball by the 40mm anti-aircraft gun on the ground.
Yamaguchi Nine Gate knew that it was powerless to turn the sky, so he operated the lever to climb up the plane. Several other senior pilots immediately followed after seeing their commander leave the battlefield.
Only those rookies were left watching them go away with a confused look on their faces, and they had to continue to bear the pursuit of enemy artillery fire behind them.
The only five Zero fighter jets left jumped into the clouds to keep the formation flying horizontally. Yamaguchi Jiumen looked back and confirmed that the enemy fighter jets had not caught up for the time being, they immediately contacted others via radio.
"My west...My west..."
"Sizi...sizi...sizi...she...sizi..."
"くそ!" Yamaguchi Jiumen cursed and punched the base of the communication equipment.
Huge noise filled my ears, this damn broken radio was still so garbage.
The Zero fighter is equipped with the Type 96 Air No. 1 wireless telephone. This radio was used well during land experiments. It can speak and send and receive messages. It is also excellent as a short-range radio communication device.
But the failure is that after getting on the plane, I don’t know if this Air No. 1 aircraft is not suitable for the local environment or is naturally "sick". However, its performance in the air is very bad, with loud noises and unstable signals, so there is basically no normal communication during flight.
The specific reason is not clear. It seems that according to the conclusion drawn by the pilot after searching the name, the spark plugs in the 14-cylinder engine of the Zero fighter and the vibration of the generator seriously interfered with the radio device, which led to extremely unstable communication in the air.
No matter what the reason is, it is a fact that this radio is not easy to use. You can't change the aircraft engine for this thing, right?
So the Japanese air force began to remove radios in order to reduce weight and pneumatically, saw off antennas, or remove radio equipment in the body. Why do you keep them because they are useless?
There was no such thing later except for the upgraded version of the new Zero fighter. It was like the group of lunatics who went to perform the mission of the Kamikaze Special Forces. The commanders wanted to remove all the seats for the flight speed. The Type 96 Air No. 1 wireless phone was naturally treated like rags.
So much so that a joke circulated among the Japanese aviation forces, and scolded people for "Your Aircraft No. 1", which means you are a waste thing, which shows how difficult this thing is to use.
There was no time to adjust anymore, Yamaguchi Nine Gate could only use gestures to gesture to the team members on both sides to make the next order through the glass in the cockpit.
After seeing clearly the wingmen on both sides, they quickly conveyed this instruction to their companions. It turned out that the commander asked everyone to retreat tactically.
There is no way, if you can't beat you and don't quit, wouldn't that be stupid?
Now that the naval fleet has sailed out of the offshore area, it is difficult for the enemy's planes to pose a threat to it, it has been considered as completing the mission, and it is time to run away.
As for those rookies...their lives are not worth the money.
Even if he survived, he would be included in the next group of Kamikaze special forces to hit the US aircraft carrier when he went back. In fact, the results were the same.
With this idea in mind, the veterans of Yamaguchi Jiumen were in no way guilty. As for why they didn't fight to the death?
Old pilots are of great use, okay, as instructors, they can train more "Emperor's warriors" to serve the country after they go back, so how can they die on the battlefield like this?
The poor Japanese rookie cadet was ruthlessly abandoned and became a stepping stone for the instructors to escape. They were defeated one by one by one by the Allied pilots who gradually gained the upper hand.
Even more sadly, they were taken away by the instructors before taking off, and even the cockpit was locked tightly. They were also told that only by infinitely approaching death can they understand the true meaning of the battlefield, and putting death and living is their only way to serve the emperor.
As a result, after being hit, I didn’t even have the chance to jump. I either chose to be buried in the fire with the plane or died with the enemy.
Allied pilots are not stupid either. Now that they have an absolute advantage, they cannot fight each other closely. One is from behind and the other attacks from the flank.
The air lighter is not a waste of time. A long shot can volley the Zero fighter in the air at a distance.
The retreating Allied pilots also noticed that they did not divide their troops to pursue, mainly because they were not sure of leaving each other. Let's deal with it first.
The battlefield situation changed rapidly. Without the support of the surface fleet and the air force, the Japanese army in Yangon City became isolated and in danger.
Shortly after the artillery fire and bombing stopped, the 88th Army soldiers appeared in the smoke that had not yet dissipated.
They formed one after another, stepping on the charred and soft land that was blown up and attacked the enemy.
There were not many living people on the Japanese outside positions, and most of them retreated to the city under the first wave of poisonous gas bombs. The third main group that launched the main attack took these positions almost without any effort.
As they got closer and closer to Yangon City, they also suffered some sporadic resistance, but after several hours of repeated attacks from poison gas bombing and artillery bombing, the trenches and bunkers had long been destroyed.
