The sky in mid-August is very clear, and the blue sky is dotted with white clouds.
The fighter planes of the Second Squadron of the Hainan Air Force arrived over the battlefield ahead of time and collided head-on with the Japanese fighter planes taking off from the aircraft carrier Long Ye.
An encounter broke out. The two sides launched a targeted attack as soon as they met. They were fighting in the air. From time to time, a plane dragged black smoke and crashed into the coast.
The pilot of Hainan Air Force Fighter No. 104 operates a Thunderbolt-1 air combat fighter and chases a Japanese carrier-based aircraft.
"Ta...ta...ta...!" The wings of the No. 104 fighter plane shook for a while, and the two ammunition chains fired from the synchronized cannons mounted on the wings were like whips, sweeping towards the enemy fighters!
The operator of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft had extremely high piloting skills. He narrowly avoided several fatal attacks, which made Pilot No. 104 extremely depressed.
The air battle continued. Pilot No. 104 of the Hainan Air Force continued to bite the back of the opponent's fighter plane, and rained ammunition on the Japanese aircraft.
As the saying goes, if you always walk by the river, your shoes will not get wet. This Japanese fighter plane lagged behind the Thunder fighter, and was eventually hit in the tail by the agile Thunder fighter.
Half of the wing of the Japanese fighter plane was broken, like an autumn leaf, and a long black smoke trailed from its tail, spinning and falling to the ground.
Wiping the sweat from the corner of his eyes with his left hand, the pilot of Fighter 104's eyes were filled with excitement. This was already the second Japanese aircraft he had shot down, and he should be the ace in the Japanese aviation force.
Suddenly, the roar of teammate pilot No. 102 came from the same frequency radio station of the same squadron, "No. 104! No. 104! Get out of the way! Climb immediately!"
Before the pilot of Fighter No. 104 had time to pull up the control stick to climb, a Japanese fighter plane rushed out of the clouds on the left and fired fiercely at him.
The entire fuselage of the hit No. 104 fighter plane shook violently. A storm of bullets penetrated the wing, causing a fire. The fighter's cab was covered with bullet holes, and bright red blood stained the plane's dashboard.
The out-of-control fighter jet fell to the ground with thick smoke. Finally, the fire ignited the fuel tank and exploded in the air.
"Little Japan! Go to hell!" Fighter No. 102 saw the sacrifice of his teammates with his own eyes and cursed with red eyes. As soon as he pushed the operating stick in his hand, the fighter jet rushed over like lightning.
In the bay, giant artillery and battleships were still exchanging fire. The ground shook slightly from the gunfire and was covered with large and small craters. The land around the fortress was turned over by gunfire, except for the soil that still smelled of gunpowder smoke.
Disappeared.
Inside the fortress, the soldiers who were constantly carrying cannonballs had already taken off their shirts. They were sweating and shirtless, and they were carrying heavy cannonballs together.
Today's battle has lasted for half a day, and the constant carrying of heavy shells has greatly consumed their physical strength. Although their bodies are very tired, they still work nervously and orderly, with their eyes full of passion.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, a ball of fire broke out on the Kirishima. It was an armor-piercing shell that penetrated the armor on the side of the Kirishima's turret, and the scattered shrapnel shattered the soldiers inside. Then, this
The turret exploded into a low trumpet shape.
The battleship Hiei next to it was even more miserable. The big hole in the deck was still spitting out thick smoke. Along with the flames, the Hiei was like a torch floating on the sea. The damage control officers on the ship risked their lives.
Deadly artillery fire tried to extinguish the fire, but their efforts had no effect, and the fire continued to gradually engulf the entire battleship.
When the 1st Squadron of the Hainan Air Force arrived on the battlefield to join the battle, the weak Japanese fighter planes fell into a hard fight. The balance of victory began to tilt towards the Hainan Army.
"How is this possible? How can the Chinese own so many airplanes?" Jushiro Kuwata was surprised.
Far behind on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Dragon Scream, he saw Hainan sending another aircraft to join the air battle, and was full of doubts. He had heard about China's industrial base capabilities, and these aircraft were most likely aided by foreign countries.
The first thing he thought of was the Yankees. Now that the situation in Europe has changed dramatically, only the Yankees have the leisure to sell planes everywhere. These planes are probably a batch of planes sold by the Yankees to the Nanjing government. As for why they were arranged here, he has no idea.
.Of course he would not know that these aircraft were actually manufactured by a warlord.
As long as he destroyed these planes, he could make up for the fact that the Hiei battleship was crippled. Jushiro Kuwata found himself an excuse to shirk responsibility.
"The rest of the carrier-based aircraft will immediately take off for combat and completely annihilate those Chinese aircraft!" Jushiro Kuwata ordered all carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier to take off for combat.
Hainan Army Headquarters.
"General! Are you going to fight as originally planned?" asked the chief of staff standing next to Li Weidong.
"Not yet! The Japanese aircraft are still capable of combat and can return for reinforcements at any time. Therefore, all their carrier-based aircraft must be disabled!" Li Weidong said, shaking his head.
He knew that he only had one chance, so he had to time it right and deliver a fatal blow to the Japanese. Otherwise, the opponent's aircraft carrier would probably escape.
The air battle continued fiercely. With the addition of new forces from the Japanese army, the Japanese fighter planes immediately stopped their decline. The fighter planes of both warring parties were still fighting evenly in the air.
However, the Hainan Army has a unique advantage. That is, there is an army on land that specializes in searching and rescuing air force pilots who have parachuted. The pilots rescued under artillery fire will take a short rest and be sent to the air force base. Where
There is a new aircraft that they need to continue flying and fighting.
Gradually, the Japanese fighter planes seemed to be lacking in rear power, and ammunition and fuel were being consumed violently. The Bushido spirit gave the Japanese soldiers a morbid fanaticism, and life-for-life tactics had appeared, and some of them controlled the burning planes and crashed into them.
Ground turret.
The cruelty of the battlefield made people crazy, and the pilots on both sides were already red-eyed. If Li Weidong had not issued a strict order later, not allowing the air force and Japanese pilots to exchange lives, otherwise the casualties would have been even more serious.
The Japanese's madness could not save their fate of defeat, and more and more Japanese fighter planes were shot down. The Thunderbolt-1 air combat fighter had excellent performance and exceeded the Japanese fighter planes in terms of flexibility.
"Lieutenant General Kuwata! Let our pilots withdraw!" In the bridge of the aircraft carrier Ryuse, a Japanese officer suggested to Jushiro Kuwata.
"Asshole! How could our soldiers of the Japanese Empire be defeated by the Chinese!!" Jushiro Kuwata stared hard at the officer who spoke.
It was not that Jushiro Kuwata didn't know that if this situation continued, the aviation force would be completely lost, but he really couldn't accept the loss of the glory of the Imperial Army in his own hands.
The air battle continued, showing a one-sided situation. The battleship Kirishima withdrew from the bay battlefield with scars, while the battleship Hiei stayed in the bay forever.
Seeing that the situation was irreversible, Jushiro Kuwata closed his eyes in pain and ordered the aviation troops to withdraw.
