The 'Shark' fighter jet that was hit so high in the air that sparks flew out did not crash as expected. On the contrary, the wing suddenly deflected, and the entire fighter jet rolled to the right twice in a row. It even dodged the fierce continuous shooting from the Japanese aircraft behind it.
.
No matter on the ground or in the sky, everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.
"Baga! This is impossible!" Captain Shindo Saburo, who was about to taste the fruits of victory, was so shocked that he almost bit his own tongue.
From the beginning, he knew that this kind of fighter plane that he had never seen before came from the United States, but it was nothing special. The performance of the empire's fighter planes was already far ahead of those blond foreigners.
But the facts before him told him that the empire had underestimated the Americans after all. They were not just good at doing business.
At least, if it were his own plane, Shindo Saburo would never be able to guarantee that he could still perform maneuvers similar to aerobatics intact after being hit by more than a dozen 7mm machine gun bullets.
This is enough to show that the Chinese fighter planes have stronger protection than the Zero fighter, but so what, in the face of absolute strength, no matter how strong the defense is, it will be broken.
If it was just a single combat situation, Lin Heng would have no other possibility except to make an immediate emergency landing or parachute.
In an air battle, the opponent can immediately get rid of the Zero fighter as long as it dives vertically and turns on the afterburner, or rolls to the right at high speed.
The daring Lin Heng got a lot of ideas after being shot continuously but the performance of his fighter plane was not reduced. He decided to use his body as a bait to lure the Japanese planes to take the initiative to attack, and then use the super firepower of friendly planes to deal with the opponent.
Of course, what was more deadly was the cockpit. A 7mm warhead penetrated the skin of the aircraft, penetrated the aluminum alloy fuselage, and penetrated into the body of the Japanese pilot. The blood spattered from the wound the size of an adult's fist dyed the entire body red.
cockpit.
"I now believe that you Chinese will win this war. You Chinese should be grateful that they have soldiers like you and Colonel Tang." Lieutenant Scott, who was worried about his students and insisted on following them to Yiling, hugged him hard.
He looked at the young Chinese pilots he once looked down upon and expressed his feelings.
If you can’t get rid of it once, then do it twice!
Shindo Saburo clearly saw many black spots on his opponent's originally smooth fuselage, which were obviously bullet holes left by his crazy shooting in less than 3 seconds. This made the Japanese Navy captain feel that victory was in sight.
It happened once, and it happened twice. Shinto Saburo was so depressed that he almost wanted to vomit blood!
"Second Lieutenant Kenji Shimizu, please evacuate the battlefield, please evacuate the battlefield! If the fighter plane is seriously damaged, please parachute immediately, parachute immediately, please!" The Japanese Navy captain who heard this voice felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stayed for a few seconds before picking up the weapon.
The wireless intercom roared crazily.
Of course the Japanese navy captain didn't know that Shen Chonghai, who had already escaped death, was also breaking out in a cold sweat!
It was not because he had just narrowly escaped from the crazy shooting of Japanese planes, but because this new Japanese fighter plane, which had never appeared on the battlefield, was actually more maneuverable than Tang Danzao described.
If this happens twice more, I won't believe that this broken plane can fly so flexibly, and Shen Chonghai is secretly furious in his heart!
As long as Lin Heng's fighter plane is not destroyed by the volley, it is victory!
That is the masterpiece of Lin Heng and his comrades!
It turned out that when Shen Chonghai and Zhang Dafei and two other Japanese aircraft started chasing each other in the vast airspace, Lin Heng and his comrades resolutely carried out the "scissors" tactics mentioned by Tang Tuanzuo, fighting for their lives.
While entangling the Japanese aircraft, the other one circled the outside to compress the Japanese aircraft's space for movement.
Shen Chonghai could clearly feel the coldness of the scythe wielded by the God of Death during the crazy burst of fire from the Japanese aircraft just now, but in the end it was blocked by the 25mm steel plate behind him.
Of course, it has something to do with the short running-in period between Chinese pilots and Wildcat fighters. No matter how elite pilots they are, no matter how diligently teaching the American pilots who were impressed by Tang Tuanzuo, they cannot change the fact that the running-in period is too short.
When the two sides separated, one on the left and the other on the right, the two pilots looked at each other in the air!
Of course, it's not that I want to see what my opponent looks like, it's mainly that I want to observe whether the desperate wave just now caused any damage to the opponent, so as to determine what tactics I will use next.
That was his friend's younger brother. He entered the Naval Air Force four years later than him. His friend's family entrusted him to take care of him in the military. Kenji Shimizu was also very motivated. He studied hard in training and was brave and cooperative on the battlefield.
His colleague had the record of shooting down three enemy planes, otherwise it would not have been his turn to fly the newest fighter aircraft in service this time.
The Chinese Air Force, with its large numbers and small numbers, gave full play to its advantages, carrying the Japanese aircraft's angry firepower and sweeping out its own whips. The Japanese aircraft, which had completely lost their minds, were beaten with peach blossoms on their faces.
But when the speed reached nearly 400 kilometers, the Zero fighter no longer had the super maneuverability of the past, and could only watch its opponent escape.
"Come on, air force brothers!" other soldiers also shouted.
With Lin Heng deliberately exposing his flaws, the Japanese plane that had found the fighter plane finally couldn't bear it any longer and pounced ferociously from the six o'clock direction again, with full firepower that caused sparks to fly out of Lin Heng's fighter plane.
Fighter No. 1008 came from the 11 o'clock direction and turned on the violent mode. Six Browning 7mm machine guns fired nearly 300 rounds of bullets in one go, at least 30 of which hit the Japanese aircraft.
Fortunately, the 'Buffalo''s defense is strong enough, and the pilot's cockpit has been specially reinforced, especially the steel plates in front and behind the pilot, which are as thick as an abnormal 25 mm steel plate.
"Come on, air force brothers! The officers have agreed to treat you to a drink." The excited Hu Hanshan raised his submachine gun high again.
Tang Dao didn't cry when he saw his elder brother's body for the first time, but at this moment, he finally couldn't hold it any longer.
My health bar is long, I can withstand beatings even more, I can wear you to death!
People who heard the shouting gradually joined in, and without anyone's command or coordination, a neat slogan was miraculously formed.
"Damn Americans, you will pay the price sooner or later!" The Japanese navy captain could only vent his anger on the Americans who provided the fighter planes.
In the round of chasing just now, he hit at least 20 bullets on his opponent's plane, but it was useless. Not only did the fighter plane not even smoke, it even had a more lively attitude.
But brilliance is destined to be short-lived.
The Japanese pilots were all extremely strong in terms of their flying skills, courage, and fighter performance. When one-on-two, they actually launched a strong counterattack instead of waiting for their comrades to finish defeating their opponents before helping them.
Although Shindo Saburo couldn't see the damage to the opponent's fighter plane, he believed that the opponent would not be much better. The power of the six 7mm machine guns was not in vain. The 7mm caliber warhead could easily tear through the aluminum alloy of the opponent's fighter plane.
Skin.
Not only did the fighter plane crash, but there were no umbrellas in the sky at all. Second Lieutenant Shimizu, who was shot, may no longer have the strength to push open the sealed cockpit cover.
When they saw a fighter plane dragging black smoke from high altitude and crashing into the hills beside the river, the Chinese military and civilians actually did not cheer because they could not tell clearly whether the fighter plane belonged to China or the Japanese.
The smile of the Japanese pilot must have been bright at that moment.
Second Lieutenant Kenji Shimizu, who picked up the radio and wanted to leave his last words, really used the greatest strength in his life. He just wanted to ask his fellow villagers to tell his mother that he loved her!
But unfortunately, the rupture of the aorta in the heart caused ischemia in the brain, dragging him into the abyss of darkness in just ten seconds.
His opponent fired at a distance of 1,500 meters, which really gave him a headache. The best shooting distance of the 7mm machine gun equipped on the Zero fighter is within 1,000 meters, although a mere 500 meters is just a distance for two planes charging at each other.
A moment of more than two seconds, but it means that the Chinese have the advantage of firing at least 60 more bullets.
In just three seconds, Lin Heng's fighter plane was hit by at least 30 bullets, and white smoke came out of the tail of the plane. The speed of the plane instantly dropped to less than 300 kilometers.
Captain Saburo Shindo's eyes once again ignited a fierce fighting spirit, and he resumed pursuit of the Chinese fighter planes that fled in the other direction.
Two against one, even though he was beaten so embarrassingly by his opponent, you can imagine how difficult it was for Shen Chonghai to fight alone.
The two fighters left with their engines roaring, and with the flexible positioning of the Zero fighter, they once again entered the pursuit mode.
"If you want to get rid of the pursuit of Japan's new fighter planes, there is only one way, dive, turn on the afterburner, and increase the speed of the fighter plane to 400 kilometers per hour!" This is the most important thing Tang Dao taught the Chinese pilots after the entire tactical seminar.
Life-saving tactics.
Seeing the strange looks from the political, business, and cultural elites around him, the think tank surnamed Chen said in a hoarse voice: "Haha! Today, inspired by the military and civilians, some old people like Lao Chen are going crazy, but it really feels good.
It’s cool, would you like to have some vocals too!”
"Okay! I, Huang, agreed. After the commander-in-chief's funeral is over, I will invite all the brothers who participated in this battle today to have a drink to tell the commander-in-chief that we will never live up to his legacy and fight the Japanese invaders to the end!" Huang surnamed Huang
The lieutenant general replied solemnly.
The Zero fighter used a unique aluminum alloy fuselage for maneuverability. In order to make the Zero fighter lighter and faster, the Japanese army, which went to extremes, even canceled the pilot's protective steel plate and did not use self-sealing fuel tanks.
This is also the reason why two types of fighter jets that are almost the same size have a weight difference of nearly one ton.
What comes out of the aircraft is not white smoke, but black smoke. It is not only the burning of lubricating oil in the control pipelines inside the aircraft, but also the materials inside the aircraft body.
No, although after reaching nearly 1,000 meters, Shindo Saburo pressed the machine gun button and fired wildly at the charging 'shark' in front, but as the fuselage shook violently, he knew that several places on the fuselage had been shot.
Yes, this will definitely have a certain impact on the performance of the fighter aircraft.
Of course, what is more important is Tang Tuanzuo's tactics.
It took 8 minutes to shoot down the first Japanese plane, but it took less than 4 minutes to shoot down the other two. After 12 minutes of air combat, only one of the 4 Japanese planes escaped in panic!
Captain Shinto Saburo returned to Jianghan Airport alone. His plane was riddled with bullets, and he almost crashed into a rice field with the plane and his crew.
The two sides continued to shoot at each other until the distance was less than 600 meters. As Shindo Saburo took the initiative to turn the rudder and rolled to the left to recover, Shen Chonghai also turned the rudder to the right and left!
Fortunately, the survivability performance of the Wildcat fighter really lives up to its name, and it is extremely tenacious.
Because Lin Heng had comrades, and this was a premeditated siege tactic.
This made Tang Dao and Lieutenant General Huang look over.
The battle in the sky ended 5 minutes ago.
The 7mm caliber warhead is not comparable to the 7mm warhead. Visible to the naked eye, dozens of holes the size of a baby's fist appeared on the Zero fighter.
China is too short of fighter planes, and these six latest fighters cannot be lost. He is not afraid of sacrifice on the battlefield, and it is still his duty to protect the fighter planes.
But obviously, Shen Chonghai is not a good person. He continues to advance despite the crazy firepower of his opponent and continues to output with all his strength. He has a posture that if you can't kill me, I will kill you even if I hit you.
As the two fighter jets flew to high altitude again, the Wildcat fighter jet turned around and opened fire on the Zero fighter jet that was approaching from 1,500 meters away.
However, after only 5 minutes of fighting, Lin Heng's plane was left with no less than 30 bullet holes on the fuselage, all of which were left by the Japanese aircraft with a very small turning radius coming from the six o'clock direction.
The Chinese people on the ground were boiling, but Shindo Saburo in the sky was suffering from severe pain in his head.
This is not something Tang Tuanzuo made up out of thin air, but the experience that American pilots fought with their lives in the past.
This doesn't matter to the Wildcat fighter, but it is a bit sad to the Zero fighter.
The Wildcat fighter can be equipped with a full six 7mm machine guns, and its range is far greater than that of the Zero of this period. When its firepower is fully activated, it is a conspicuous package with stars shining all over it.
It was not because he shot down a Japanese plane, but only when he saw the stopped fighter plane at close range did he know how many beatings he had received. No one believed that anyone could fly such a fighter plane back.
Second Lieutenant Kenji Shimizu was finished, and Saburo Shindo closed his eyes in pain!
However, the voice of Second Lieutenant Kenji Shimizu was not heard from the radio station!
Then, Captain Shinto Saburo saw a scene that made his liver and gallbladder split!
In an area about 4,000 meters away from him, a fighter plane with completely missing tail fins plunged towards the ground, dragging thick black smoke!
In the hills beside the most famous river in China, a cloud of smoke mixed with fire rose tens of meters high.
This is cruel, but this kind of cruelty is what the Japanese actively seek. The Chinese military and civilians on the ground collectively expressed that there can be more such cruelty.
This is also his only magic weapon that can defeat his opponent!
In the end, Shinto Saburo gave up. He decided not to play tough with the 'idiot' in front of him, but to use the super maneuverability of the Zero fighter to defeat this tough opponent.
The hit rate of 60 rounds of machine gun bullets may be less than 10%. Even if you are lucky, you will only hit three or four bullets at most.
The tail wing of the aircraft was hit by several bullets and was broken in half. At least a quarter of the skin on the wing was missing. There were dozens of bullet holes around the cockpit. The entire aircraft was almost turned into a
It was broken, that's all. The most terrible thing was that the engine was also damaged by bullets. The heart-rending roar of the engine when it landed made the airport ground staff even think that the engine was about to explode.
If he died in battle, Shindo Saburo couldn't imagine how he would face his friend's family and his friend's already gray-haired mother.
It wasn't until one of the two fighter planes hovering in the sky rejoined the battle group and the other flew to the southwest of Yiling City that the Chinese soldiers and civilians on the ground finally confirmed that it was a Japanese fighter plane that had been shot down.
Do you think it's easy to get behind the enemy plane? In order to achieve this goal, he racked his brains so hard that his brain nerves were so nervous that he almost broke, just to get such a position. The result was not good, the opponent used such a clumsy way
One move and it's solved.
Shen Chonghai also saw two missing areas on the opponent's wings, which should be the work of 7mm caliber warheads.
Seeing that he was being stared at by his commander, the excited soldier was at a loss!
"Hu Hanshan, right? Your name is not bad! When the time comes, I will help you make an appointment with the six pilots. You will be the host and I will accompany them, but Master Huang will come to pick them up." Tang Dao said with a smile.
Because he knows that the big brother over there must be laughing, laughing!
After just one confrontation, Shen Chonghai discovered that his opponent's strength should not be underestimated. He was definitely a veteran among Japanese pilots. Therefore, he had to get rid of the current unfavorable situation as soon as possible, so he decisively chose to trust Tang Tuanzuo.
The tsunami-like shouts made the calm think tank named Chen shout out the same slogans as ordinary soldiers and civilians, clenching their fists and waving them hard into the sky.
But Shen Chonghai became more and more proficient in using the tactics taught by Tang Dao. As soon as he was being chased and had no way to escape, he would immediately enter dive mode, then slam the rudder to the right and roll to recover.
The cheers were deafening. In the words of Lin Heng, who returned to the airport to inspect the fighter planes, he could almost hear it at an altitude of 2,000 meters.
Maybe that was his illusion, but it was true that he returned to the airport successfully, and the warm embrace of the American mechanic who ran over almost suffocated the thin man.
The Chinese people on the ground cheered!
"Brothers of the Air Force, you are so stupid. When you return to the ground, I, Hu Hanshan, will spend a month's military salary to treat you to drinks!" A soldier standing near Tang Dao with a gun suddenly raised his gun and shouted loudly.
The Zero fighter jet was put into actual combat for the first time and achieved a feat of 0:3. The Japanese Navy's Second United Air Force was even more collectively humiliated!
"Brother! I told you that I would place the freshest sacrifices in front of your coffin. I wonder if you over there have seen it?" Tang Dao looked back at the huge coffin on the truck, with bloodshot eyes.
Like being covered by drizzle.
But Lin Heng succeeded. Even though Shen Chonghai, who received his report in the air, ordered him to find an open area to parachute, he still decided to fly the fighter plane back.
The Japanese army was silent!
In front of them, the new fighter plane that American pilots were proud of looked as cumbersome as a buffalo facing a hungry wolf.
Sure enough, although there were more than a dozen holes in the skin of the aircraft, he successfully got rid of the entanglement and gained a deeper understanding of the defensive performance of the Wildcat fighter jet.
"Baga! If you have the guts, don't run away and fight me openly!" Captain Shindo Saburo was so depressed that he really wanted to stick his head out of the cabin door and shout at the opponent who had escaped again.
But the Japanese navy captain did not dare to shout out in the end, because if he were to fight openly and honestly, given the opponent's thick-skinned and thick-skinned urine, there would be a high probability that he would be beaten to the point where he would be unable to find his way.
It turns out that the Zero fighter has excellent maneuverability and a very small turning radius only at low speeds. When its speed reaches more than 370 kilometers/hour, the Zero's performance will have no advantage.
........
"I've been shot, Shindo-kun, please help me tell my mother." A weak voice suddenly came from the radio channel.
The myth of the Zero fighter will no longer exist.
"General, slow down!"
The motorcade sped up and the crowds of people who saw off the train fell to their knees one by one!
