Tetsuzo Iwamoto was lucky. Although he was eye-catching in the arrow position, Huang Xinrui, who was swooping down from high altitude, found it difficult to cover the frontmost aircraft of the Japanese aircraft formation in the scope due to the angle.
The Japanese ace pilot was like a frightened little house sparrow. The engine reached maximum power instantly and fled screaming.
But this doesn't mean that everyone can be as lucky as him.
It was only the first time that the swooping Chinese fighter jet formation opened fire. In addition to the two Japanese jets that were set on fire, like lit turkeys, five more Japanese jets also emitted thick smoke.
The Japanese aircraft suffered 2 losses and 5 injuries. This is the Chinese record after the 30th second of the war.
The original disadvantage of 48 to 60 was almost evened out in an instant.
But this is only an apparent leveling of the number of fighter planes. In fact, the most successful aspect of this dive attack tactic was to completely break up the Japanese aircraft formation.
The Japanese planes were like a group of birds that were on a leisurely vacation but were frightened by the predators of eagles. They dropped their bombs one after another. Some imitated Tetsuzo Iwamoto and tried to increase their power and pull up the nose of the plane in an attempt to return to high altitude. Some simply beat them.
Escape to the two wings.
Anyway, it’s all kinds of things. In addition to being unable to make an emergency brake in the air and turning around, the Japanese aircraft that were stunned now completely lost the pride of the Imperial Japanese Eagle that had dominated the battlefield dozens of seconds ago, and most of them were scattered.
And escape.
Especially when huge explosions of "Boom! Boom!" were heard continuously in the sky. After the two sudden fireballs dyed the pupils of the Japanese pilots red, the 58 Japanese planes were like a group of disheveled girls encountering a group of two-person pilots.
The big man, with his eyes flashing green, "screamed" and fled in all directions.
However, the more the little girls run away, the more they will arouse the desire for conquest of the big man with lustful eyes. To Huang Xinrui and his pilots, these weak Japanese pilots behaved as if they were teasing
They are bursting with adrenaline.
The Japanese pilots are certainly not weak. In terms of combat experience, they are all pilots with actual combat experience. For more than a year, they have appeared in the skies over major battlefields from Pingjin to Baoding to Shimen to Yuancheng.
figure!
When it comes to this, they are much better than the Chinese freshmen who have just left the aviation school with a maximum of 400 hours of flying time.
But now the two sides are in the wrong position and posture. One is up, one is down, one is in front and the other is behind. You say, is the counterattack in this state very weak?
And because of the direction, the sunlight in the rearview mirror was too dazzling. They couldn't even hope to see their opponent's movements from here. They couldn't even see clearly. They were trying to counterattack. They just had to get out of this unlucky position and avoid being whipped any more.
Running first out of respect may seem embarrassing, but it is actually a counterattack by an old bird.
The price they paid was to pay for their previous mistakes, but as long as they returned to a high altitude and had an attack angle, they might be able to regain the advantage.
Because, not a single Japanese aircraft chose to flee the battlefield far away due to the sudden attack.
Amidst the huge roar, more than a hundred fighter planes crisscrossed past each other in the lightning speed. At least more than 30 Japanese planes, led by Tetsuzo Iwamoto, raised their noses and climbed into the sky at extremely fast speeds.
However, the 24 fighter planes of the two air groups led by Huang Xinrui were not moved at all. They did not chase their targets and beat up the lost dogs because the Japanese planes scattered. Instead, they continued to pursue their own targets in groups of two planes.
Continue to fire fiercely.
The other 24 chose to pull up to high altitude together with the more than 30 Japanese planes. Their mission was to entangle these Japanese planes and wait for the leader of the team, Instructor Huang, to lead the experienced pilots to take down the Japanese planes that were still in the low altitude.
Blow them up, and then work together to clean up these Japanese machines.
The roar of engines from higher in the sky indicated that the fighter formations of both sides on alert above 3,500 meters had discovered their opponents and began to fight!
The Japanese planes were forced to be divided into three groups: high altitude, medium altitude and low altitude, but the Chinese had already planned this.
The first and second aviation brigades, led by Huang Xinrui personally, except for ten veteran pilots who had participated in the Battle of Jinling and the Central China Air War, were all composed of the top flight students in the aviation school.
There are also five veteran pilots responsible for fighting against Japanese aircraft in the high altitude. The captain of the Fifth Air Force is even a contemporaneous student of Le Yiqing, one of the four kings of the Chinese Air Force, Hangzhou Jianqiao Aviation School.
Originally, as a meritorious pilot, he could stay in Jiangcheng, but more than two-thirds of his classmates at the same time were killed in the battle. The Air Force major, who desperately needed fighter planes to avenge his classmates, made several reports before joining the team to receive the fighter planes, and he became this
The second commander is mostly composed of rookies.
To put it bluntly, these three groups on the Chinese side are the typical "Tian Ji horse racing", where the top is against the middle, the middle is against the bottom, and the bottom is against the top!
The key to victory in this air battle lies in whether Huang Xinrui can deal with the 20 or so Japanese planes that have no chance to reach high altitudes at the fastest speed, and also in whether the two air forces at mid-altitude can block them.
The number exceeds their Japanese machines.
If anything goes wrong, this air battle may end in tragedy for this Chinese fighter formation, which is dominated by rookies.
But this is what Huang Xinrui, as the commander, cannot do. If the two groups of aircraft are allowed to fight each other, the number of his students returning will exceed double digits, and he will even shed tears and smile.
He wants these outstanding young people to have a chance to see the future. This is his only choice!
No one paid attention to the five Japanese planes that were smoking and plummeting in speed. In this high-speed battle in which both fighters increased their speed to more than 350 kilometers per hour, a plane without speed is like a little bastard. Here you go
A mouth full of sharp teeth must be able to bite people first!
No, one of them was billowing black smoke like a tractor using low-quality diesel. After pulling out a black banner in the air, the speed dropped to below 100 kilometers and entered a stall. The Japanese pilot jumped out of the cockpit without hesitation.
.
White flowers bloom in the sky!
The 96 fighter jet crashed into a valley.
A loud "boom" made the Japanese troops around the crash turn pale. There seemed to be at least one small team hiding somewhere in that area. This was a good thing. The bastard who came to help thought he was an aerial bomb and killed everyone together.
Sent to see Amaterasu.
What's going on with this Baga!
The Japanese infantrymen who scolded the air force for being stupid didn't even look at the guy who struggled to parachute out of the open cabin and caused the plane to plummet to the ground. Regardless of the wind from east to west, the wind blows wherever it goes! Wait until you win.
Let’s talk about it later.
Seeing the Chinese Air Force's victory in the first battle and knocking down several Japanese planes in one breath, Tang Dao couldn't help but show joy and pointed in the air: "Mr. Zhao, the fireworks show I watched with you was a success! Just tell me it was worth it."
Not worth this cup of yellow tea!”
The white-haired general pointed at Tang Dao with his finger and sighed: "I'm convinced, you kid insists on getting it, and you can mobilize the air force to cooperate with us in the battle. I'm confused, how did you fool our stingy theater commander?"
of."
"Haha, Master Zhao may not know that there is a popular saying in my hometown that says that problems that can be solved with money are not problems!" Tang Dao laughed. "I can promise Commander Yan that the theater headquarters will take half of the seizure of Shimen.
As for the other half, if the fighter planes suffer huge losses, they can be used to help him fill the hole."
"Good guy, you're a pie artist!" the white-haired general was dumbfounded. "We haven't finished dealing with the Japanese yet! You made reservations for the captured Shimen in advance."
"The Japanese troops on the 921st Division want to retreat, but the two division commanders Liu and Li have used their main force and are dragging them to death with casualties that far exceed those of the defensive battle. Commander Zhao, do you think we should take Shimen?" Tang Dao lowered his head.
Taking a sip of tea, Tang Dao's eyebrows were reflected in the tea cup.
All are cold!
In this battle, it is not that Tang Dao and several generals worked hard, but that the Chinese soldiers paid too many casualties. If he didn't beat the North China Front to the core in one fell swoop, how could he be worthy of those heroic souls?
"I found out! We old guys are all crazy, and we actually accompany you, a little lunatic, to go crazy together." The white-haired general looked up at the fast-moving Chinese and Japanese fighter jets in the sky, and suddenly felt a little dazed.
More than a hundred fighter planes participated in the battle. They also defeated a division and surrounded a detachment-level Japanese invader. Such a battlefield made him, a major general of the Northwest Army, feel a little unreal!
But this is indeed true. The roar that resounds in the sky and the 'shit yellow' ones that have retracted into their bunkers on the distant mountain tops truly prove this fact.
"However, this crazy feeling is really good!" The white-haired general's eyes flashed with determination. "If we want to conquer Shimen, we must avoid long nights and dreams. We must fight quickly. We can't control the sky. Things on the earth belong to us.
!Brother Tang, your two armies and ours will kill the Japanese army on the ground!"
"That's what I have in mind, kill him!" Tang Dao nodded.
"Pass my order and prepare artillery fire for 30 minutes. Each battalion and company will encircle and divide the Japanese infantry according to established tactics, further reducing their living space! The guard company and cavalry company will organize their manpower to search and rescue our parachuting pilots!"
"Yes!" Xia Dayu nodded fiercely.
As the order is conveyed to the regiment headquarters and each battalion and company.
"Don't even look at it. The regiment's military order was issued. Each squad and platoon packed up their equipment and prepared for battle." Li Jijin, Zhao Daqiang and other infantry company commanders put down their binoculars one after another and urged their respective officers and soldiers.
"Work has started! Give me a fight and let the Air Force brothers see what we can do!" Pang Dahai shouted loudly with a thick accent from Lu Province.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The artillery fire on the ground, which had just stopped for less than 20 minutes, became fierce again.
This time, the artillery fire was more concentrated at the junction area of the defense lines deployed by the Japanese army, causing earth and rocks to fly everywhere, and smoke rising everywhere!
The fireballs rising from the ground are even brighter than the gorgeous sunset!
"Army brothers, you are awesome!" Chen Ping, who was chasing a Japanese plane, glanced at the ground that suddenly seemed to have many white mushrooms growing on it, and exclaimed in admiration.
"Bottle, are you crazy? Take care of yourself for me. I don't want to take care of your parents. I still have my parents to take care of!" Shen Chonghai's roar sounded in the communicator.
"Yes, yes, you are the captain and you have the final say!" Chen Ping stuck out his tongue, but he stared at the fleeing enemy plane ahead, not daring to be distracted at all.
Shen Chonghai is not the captain of the aviation team, but he is the captain of the aviation school cadet team. He is both intelligent and responsible. He has a high prestige in the aviation school, but it is extremely rare to curse classmates and comrades in this tone.
Things.
In fact, he felt extremely painful inside at this moment.
Because, he saw with his own eyes that two of his own fighter planes were hit, spinning and falling into the valley. The pilot of one of the fighter planes may have entered the 'death spiral' mode, and the terrible load pressed him firmly on the seat.
, there is no chance to open the cockpit canopy and skydive!
Because he didn't have time to number the plane, he didn't know which one it was, but his intuition told him that it was his classmate!
As soon as I walked out of school, one of my classmates was missing!
Although his instructors talked about this countless times, saying that their classmates were getting fewer and fewer, and there were more and more circles drawn in graduation photos, it was only when he experienced it personally that this genius pilot knew
, how painful it will be.
When you are extremely sad, your heart will really hurt, like being stabbed with a knife.
Chen Ping was his classmate and good friend. He didn't want his parents, who were far away in Jiangcheng, to send their white-haired parents away from their black-haired parents, and he didn't want his unmarried fiancée to lean on the door and stare at her from afar!
But the young Chinese Air Force didn't know that what he worried about would come true in another time and space.
I wonder if this time, the shackles of fate will be broken by bravery!
...........
"Let us kill them and let them know that a despicable sneak attack cannot change their tragic ending!" Tetsuzo Iwamoto, with an extremely sinister face, led 15 fighter planes to an altitude of 3,000 meters again, and circled a large arc.
Reform behind the line and return to the battlefield again.
This time, they were fighting from the 9 o'clock direction, that is, the east to the west. Anyone opposite them who was in a disadvantageous position would be destroyed by them.
Even if the conditions are the same, no one can be their opponent.
However, he really thought too simply.
Although the air combat performance of the 96 land-based attack aircraft is excellent.
The Type 96 land-based ground attack aircraft can reach an astonishing speed of 440 kilometers per hour. Thanks to its single-wing all-metal fuselage design, it has excellent climb and dive performance within the turning radius. It was regarded as the best throughout the 1930s.
World-class, it was also the predecessor of the Zero fighter, one of the best-performing fighters on the Pacific battlefield in the future.
On the Songhu battlefield, the performance of the Type 96 land-based attack aircraft and the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft almost overwhelmingly overwhelmed the Chinese Air Force's Hawker III.
However, the opponent we encountered in Battle 96 was the Yi-153 specially customized by Mao Xiong for the Chinese battlefield. Although its structure was a slightly backward biplane, its 1,000-horsepower air-cooled engine provided this fighter with the highest performance.
It has a maneuverability of up to 500 kilometers. The fuselage frame is made of aluminum alloy and covered with aluminum alloy skin. Even the tail fin and rudder are also made of aluminum alloy. The structural strength of the fuselage is far higher than that of fighters of the same period.
The ferocious firepower of 4 machine guns and more than 2,700 rounds of ammunition was fully crushed by the 2 7mm machine guns in the 96th War.
What's more, who said he has the positional advantage?
Although most of the 24 fighter planes located at medium and high altitudes were rookies, the two captains of the aviation team responsible for leading the team were not.
As the Japanese planes climbed up like crazy and fled into the distance, the two aviation captains each left half of their fighters in the air to fight with more than a dozen Japanese planes that had risen to an altitude of 2,600 meters. The rest seemed to be chasing, but in fact they were constantly chasing each other.
Raise it up to nearly 3,800 meters, and you can almost join the battle group several kilometers away at an altitude of 4,000 meters.
It was not until these dozen Japanese planes returned to the battlefield from high altitude that two experienced air force captains with 12 fighter planes pounced on them.
Back, back again.
The I-153 swooped down from a higher altitude, roaring down, and the flaming red bullet chains that cut through the sky like death wielding a scythe would shine like the face of the Japanese ace pilot who looked up from the open cockpit.
Dead people generally have ugly faces.
It’s not scary to fall into a pit once. What’s scary is falling into it again even though you know there is a pit!
If you call it stupid the first time, then you can only call it stupid the second time!
The I-153's airborne machine gun firepower consisting of four Shikas machine guns can spit out 30 rounds of bullets in one second. The firepower of 1,800 rounds per minute is unmatched by anyone in this era.
Coupled with the advantage of occupying a high altitude and a distance of 800 meters, the twelve whips visible to the naked eye swept away a bloody storm in the formation of 16 Japanese aircraft.
In an instant, dozens of large holes appeared on the backs of the three Japanese planes. The two pilots lowered their heads without saying a word. Sitting in the open cockpit, they were directly hit by several machine gun bullets and killed.
The plane that lost control used a run-up and diving method, tilted its nose downwards for several hundred meters, and then descended extremely decisively downwards, diving towards the ground at an angle of 70 degrees.
People on the ground, whether they are Chinese or other people, are they?
Faced with this "bomb" whose instantaneous speed reaches 140 kilometers per second or even faster due to the help of gravitational acceleration when stalling, there is nothing anyone can do.
Even if I just want to escape, I don't know where it will be safer to escape.
"Boom, boom" were two violent explosions that frightened everyone thousands of meters around the plane to the point where they could not help but feel the cold sweat on their foreheads. They were glad that they were not the unlucky guy.
Fortunately, the planes did not crash into the battlefield. One hit a mountain not far away, and the other fell into the woods not far from the position.
Tang Tuanzuo, who hugged Master Zhao and rolled him several times to hide in a hidden trench, was also wiping cold sweat. The plane exploded seventy meters away from the viewing area where the two were watching. The temporary command headquarters built with logs was
It was shaken a few times.
Fortunately, the Japanese plane dropped all the bombs, and the power of the explosion depended entirely on the aviation kerosene in the fuel tank. Otherwise, a lieutenant general and a colonel would have gone to the Lord of Hell to have tea.
Tang Danzao's strong muscles would have no problem defeating so-called martial arts masters like Fujiwara Senzuo, but when encountering such a large 'cruise missile', he would be blown to pieces.
Guaiguai: Maybe I can carry it with my rough skin and thick flesh!
Tang Tuanzuo: Now it’s time to have a feast, let’s eat roasted wild boar!
