Hailan left with the transport fleet that afternoon. On Guadalcanal, the transport ship did not dare to stay until night. Here, the Tokyo Express ruled at night. Almost every night, a group of Japanese destroyers would take the night to deliver supplies.

Give it to the Japanese soldiers on the island, and then shell the airport along the way. Of course, the firepower of the destroyer can't do anything to the airport. It just has to trouble the ground crew to drag the plane to a hidden place and hide it every evening. Early the next morning, it will be troublesome again.

They went and towed them back to the airport.

This time Hailan was accompanied by several technicians from the Anaconda Company. When a new weapon is handed over to the army, the arms company always has to send a few after-sales personnel. Now they are installing Vulcan weapons near the airport.

gun.

There were 10 sets of anti-aircraft guns shipped yesterday, 4 sets were given to the Marine Corps, and 4 sets were prepared to be deployed directly at the airport. There were also two sets left as backup. Hailan told Ron before leaving, "High She Edition"

Compared with the aircraft gun version, there is no difference between the Vulcan and the aircraft gun version except for the extra gun mount. If Ron is willing, the technicians can put one of the two spare sets on his aircraft. At that time, Ron was still

I doubt that the ammunition supply system of the aircraft gun is obviously different from that of the anti-aircraft gun version, and it also needs to install some other accessories in the aircraft. Is it really that easy to modify it?

When the after-sales service personnel completed the installation of the anti-aircraft guns and took Ron to see the remaining two "spare anti-aircraft guns", Ron discovered that the so-called spare anti-aircraft guns didn't even have a gun mount at all, just two fake ones.

Guaranteed aircraft cannons. Even the noses with different openings, different sights, um, brackets and other things on the aircraft are all complete. Hailan means that he hopes Ron can use this weapon to obtain

If there are more achievements, then in the next interview, you can directly brag about the Vulcan cannon. Of course, if there is any problem with the modification, it is definitely Ron's own personal behavior and has nothing to do with the company.

It only took less than four hours for a few technicians to install the cannon on the plane for Ron. The rest was up to Ron himself - to fly the plane into the sky and watch the flight.

Will the performance be affected in any way? Then fire a few more shots to test whether the cannon works well.

Taking off with Ron was one of Kanu's original P-38s for performance comparison. According to Hailan, based on their previous test flights at Lockheed, they were basically the same in terms of flight performance.

There is not much difference between the original version. The fact is similar to what she said. The entire Vulcan aerial cannon system, including the shells and new brackets, is still slightly heavier than the original configuration, about 20 kilograms. But this difference causes

The impact is not very obvious. Sometimes if you bring more oil, the weight will exceed this.

However, when climbing, Ron was still aware of the subtle impact of climbing. Fortunately, considering the benefits in firepower, it was worth paying the price. As for Kanu, he was not at all

I didn't see the difference in flight performance between Ron's plane and my own, whether it was climbing or circling.

The next step was to test the artillery. The first was to hit the towed target. A P-38 towed the target aircraft into the air. It climbed to an altitude of 4,000 meters. Ron flew over from its 9 o'clock direction, and at 600

A long dot was made at a distance of 100 meters.

This shooting proved two things.

First, the power of the Vulcan cannon is truly worthy of the name Vulcan. The target drone was directly smashed into pieces by the dense shells. You must know that there is neither fuel nor ammunition in the target drone. It is impossible for a zero-war situation to occur.

The problem is that the ammunition is detonated after the fuel tank explodes or the aircraft catches fire. Its structure itself is simpler and relatively stronger. The result was like this. This fully proves that the power of the Vulcan cannon is indeed beyond doubt. It later crashed

The largest piece of the target drone was found. A section of the fuselage less than 3 meters in length was punched with 4 large holes by the Vulcan cannon. (This is the result of Ron cooperating with the rudder to sweep the aircraft. If not, with the Vulcan 6000 rounds

Its fire speed can fire about 2 to 3 rounds within a range of 3 meters) You must know that it passed in front of Ron at a speed of 400 kilometers, and Ron's firing window was very short.

, can achieve such results, it can be seen that the speed and accuracy of the Vulcan cannon far exceed the original combination of 4 .50 and one 20mm cannon.

Second, the recoil of the Vulcan cannon is not comparable to that of the original fire system. After firing for two seconds, the speed of the aircraft suddenly dropped from 500 kilometers to 480 kilometers, which can be used as a brake. And it has 800 rounds.

One-fourth of the ammo supply was destroyed in one fell swoop. It seems that I won’t be able to casually shoot longer rounds in the future.

Then came the tests of head-on shooting and rear-end firing. In the head-on mode, Ron destroyed the target drone with one blow at a distance of 800 meters, but in the rear-end mode, the Vulcan cannon was still at a distance of 600 meters.

Fire effectively and kill with one hit.

After completing this round of testing, several pilots came to Ron and asked to install the remaining cannon on them. If that didn't work, it would be a good idea to lend Ron's aircraft to them for fun. But they were all rejected by Ron.

En refused. "This is an illegal modification, and I can't take responsibility for anything that happens." Ron said.

Early the next morning, a group of guys came running again.

"Good morning, sir!"

"Well, morning everyone, what are you all doing here?"

"Sir, those damn Japanese destroyers came to bombard our airport last night." A guy said indignantly.

"That's right, we want revenge! Let us know that we are not easy to mess with! Sir, how about we go to Rabaul to practice our skills," said the other.

"Tsk," Ron thought to himself, "Is this the first time that Japanese destroyers have come to bombard the airport? What night will they not come? Well, they didn't come the day before yesterday. Some of you still complained that you couldn't hear the gunfire at night.

It was so quiet that I couldn’t sleep.”

But anyway, I have nothing to do, so I went to play.

"Well, f4f and p-39 will stay here to look after things, and p-38 will follow me to open a dungeon to spawn monsters!"

Of course, this was just intentional. The original words were "Follow me and teach Xiaoriben a lesson." After the order, the army of monster spawners immediately got busy. Only the housekeepers asked with a grimace: "Sir, when will you give me a lesson?"

Let’s switch to P-38.”

And "Sir, a bowl of water must be served levelly, and we cannot discriminate against our navy members. Otherwise, let them fly the F4F, and we will fly the P-38!"

Just when there was a fuss, a telegram interrupted everything.

"Sir, we have discovered a group of Japanese aircraft. They are expected to arrive in Guadalcanal airspace in two hours."

It was telegraph operator Tom who came in.

"Damn it, you don't want to live anymore? How dare you come?" someone shouted.

"Long live! Little Riben, I love you so much!" Needless to say, the person who yelled this said that he couldn't drive the P-38 for the time being.

"nnd, if you rebel against them, why are you playing monster siege before I even have time to complete a dungeon?" Ron thought.

"The original plan is cancelled! Gather in the war room immediately." Ron gave the order.

The group arrived at the war room, where intelligence agent Huck Finn was already waiting.

"Sir, the situation is like this."

This time, the Japanese gathered together a large group of more than 60 Zero Fighters, escorting 8 bombers.

"Damn, there are quite a few. Some of them were beaten this time!" Someone said excitedly.

Ron is not so excited. He has a total of 58 fighter jets, which is not much less than Japan's own fighter jets. However, considering the reliability of the machinery, there are only about 20 P-38s that can fly immediately.

, (originally there were 7 more, two were destroyed by gunfire from Japanese destroyers in the Tokyo Express night attack two days ago, and 5 are under maintenance due to some minor faults.) Plus 13 Wildcats, (number decreased

The reason is the same as the p-38) 11 flying snakes. Added together, there are 44 aircraft in total. Let’s not say that this number is unlucky. In terms of quantity alone, even if Ron does not leave a reserve team again, he will kill them all at once.

Even though they are all under pressure, their number is much smaller than the more than 60 Japanese fighter jets. I'm afraid the tactics like last time won't work very well.

And what's even more strange is that Japan has come with so many fighter jets, but why are there so few bombers? Ron felt something was wrong almost instinctively. If Japan's purpose is to destroy the Guadalcanal Airport, what's the use of having so many bombers? Even if they

Even if one bomb can drop quite a few bombs, 10 bombers will not be able to destroy the airport, or even be able to temporarily paralyze it.

"Will there be another wave from Ri himself? If so, this game will be really big. As long as we win this battle, I will probably have to be honest for a long time." Ron thought.

"Notify the Marines and prepare them for air defense." Ron ordered, "Notify the observation post and continue to pay attention to the movements of the Japanese."

The Japanese already have a certain understanding of the P-38. They must know that it has a long range and a good climb, especially at high altitudes. It can climb far better than Japanese fighters. So what method will the Japanese use to restrain it?

Ron began to think about when he was playing games in the past, and whether there were any successful cases of using zero combat to deal with p-38. It was regrettable and gratifying to find that there really was no such thing. No one in the room battle would use it.

Zero Fighter came to challenge P-38. Ron only had the memory of using Zero Fighter to deal with AI's P-38 before, but that was nothing. AI was always stupid, didn't know how to assess the situation, and often took advantage of its own shortcomings.

Capitalize on other people’s strengths.

Fifteen minutes later, another news came from the observation post: a Japanese formation was discovered, with a total of 30 bombers and 30 fighter jets.

This is really a big deal. Now the Japanese people's calculations have been clearly seen: the mission of the first wave of attacks is to consume the US air defense force on the island. When Ron's fighter jets fought with the first wave of enemy planes,

If too few planes are invested, they will be easily eaten by the overwhelmingly superior number of Japanese escort fighters. Then the Japanese planes will firmly suppress the airport until the 30 bombers arrive. If they all take off, they will also

They were held back by the slightly superior number of Japanese fighters, and their ammunition would be quickly consumed in the melee. By that time, they would not be able to intercept the second wave of Japanese bombers.

"Sir, what should we do?" Obviously, Ron was not the only one who saw the problem.

"I don't think we can be fooled by the Japanese. How about we just bring the B-17 and go directly to his lair?"

"I don't think it's good. We only have a few B-17s, so it won't be of much use."

"Sir, if not, we will take off immediately, pass over the first wave of enemies, and directly attack the second wave."

Ron turned around and saw that the person speaking was a new pilot named Joyce. This little guy had great ideas.

"Tell me what you think?" Ron said encouragingly.

"Sir, I think letting them bomb the first wave won't do anything to the airport. Just let them fight with the anti-aircraft guns. We ignore them, bypass them, and directly attack the second wave of bombers. As long as we destroy those

bombers, even if we force them to drop their bombs in advance, we will win this battle."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Ron smiled, Joyce's thoughts were very similar to his.

"All the P-38s and F4Fs that can fly come with me to intercept the second wave. The P-39 legs are not long enough, so don't go this time. Just find a hidden place to hide and watch the show." Ron ordered.

, "Cartographer, let's take a look at the nautical chart."

"Sir, we are also fighter jets, and we can also fight!" Some people who were still flying P-39 had objections, "Besides, if there is not even an interceptor aircraft, the Japanese will definitely find something wrong."

"But there is indeed a big gap between the performance of the P-39 and the Zero Fighter. It will be very dangerous for you to intercept the first wave of enemy planes. But what you said does make sense. Otherwise, I
