As the Japanese aircraft was destroyed at high altitude by the Chinese ace fighter plane using decisive tactics and impressive control tactics.
At this point, of the 18 incoming Japanese planes, only 13 remained, while the Chinese had 10 fighter planes.
However, Japanese fighter planes still have an absolute numerical advantage.
At an altitude of nearly 3,000 meters, there are only three Chinese aircraft, and they are being chased by eight Japanese aircraft that have a complete numerical advantage.
But in the air at an altitude of 1,500 meters, the six Chinese fighter planes that first dived down did not kill their opponents in one fell swoop like their squadron leader. The control skills of the Japanese pilots could even be said to be better than those of the Chinese pilots. Ship 96
The speed of the explosive aircraft is far lower than that of the Hawker III, but the three aviation machine guns equipped with it have fierce firepower, so the Chinese fighters have to be wary.
Therefore, after experiencing the dogfight, the Chinese fighter jets also lost their initial air superiority and completely evolved into a strangled battle chasing each other.
A total of 23 fighter planes from both sides chased and shot each other in the vast airspace from an altitude of 3,000 meters to a low altitude of 500 meters.
This is the broadest battlefield and the most cruel battlefield.
Only they themselves can decide their fate.
From time to time, fighter planes exit the battlefield with smoke billowing, and some even explode on the spot. Some of them are Chinese and Japanese. The Chinese soldiers on the ground can do nothing except anxiously rubbing their hands and waiting. They can't even attack the air.
Shoot to cover your comrades in the air.
This is like infantry on the ground battlefield approaching 100 meters away. Even if one side has heavy artillery troops, they can only watch helplessly.
The fighter planes from both sides roared at each other and pursued each other at high speed, making it very possible for them to fire accidentally.
There are more and more white flowers blooming in the sky.
That was when a plane completely lost control and the pilot was forced to parachute.
However, there are almost no Chinese pilots.
It’s not that no Chinese fighter jets were damaged.
On the contrary, in order to hold down the eight Japanese fighter planes, the three fighter planes in the high altitude were at an absolute disadvantage as the number of Japanese planes was far inferior. They almost had no decent offensive, and they were all hit and risked two minutes after the full-scale battle began.
White smoke came out.
If you have a long lens to zoom in at this time, you will see that there are at least two dozen hideous bullet holes in each fighter plane, from the wings to the fuselage, and even the cabin of a fighter plane.
Bloodstains.
It was caused by a 7.7mm machine gun bullet. The cabin with a 10mm protective steel plate protected the pilot's back and lower limbs, but it could not prevent the bullet from entering from the side.
The bullet fired into the cabin penetrated the Chinese pilot's armpit and then exited from the back, then hit the protective steel plate behind the flight seat and turned into a deformed copper block, falling powerlessly.
However, before that, that damn 7.7mm bullet had completed its mission. The deformed and rolling warhead not only blasted a blood hole the size of a baby's fist in the pilot's back, splattering a fountain of blood.
It even severed the heart and blood vessels. It wouldn't take long for the severely injured Chinese pilot to try his best to breathe, but it would be useless. The massive loss of blood would make his brain extremely hypoxic.
He will lose consciousness completely and fall into darkness forever along with his fighter plane.
If he had parachuted at the moment when he was still conscious, and the running cavalry on the ground found him immediately, stopped his bleeding and sent him to the field hospital of the 67th Army, he might still have a chance to survive, although the chance would not exceed 100%.
ten.
But then, there is still a possibility of survival.
But, he didn't.
The young Chinese pilot gave up his last chance of survival. Although his mouth and nose were already dripping with blood, he still chose to hold the rudder tightly and put his foot firmly on the accelerator.
Hawk III, which was already roaring heart-breakingly, let out an even sharper roar and ran wildly into the distance.
The two 96-ships, which thought they had hit the target, could not allow their severely damaged prey to escape. They immediately broke away from the formation and started chasing after them.
Yes, it is not as heroic as imagined to hit the opponent at full power. The last choice for the young Chinese pilot who still has consciousness is to escape from the battlefield at full power.
Attract the opponent's firepower and relieve the pressure on your comrades, even if it's your own body.
Just like the advance group led by Tang Dao on the ground, these three fighter planes were abandoned from the beginning. Their role was to hold down the eight Japanese planes and wait for the low-altitude battle to decide the outcome.
Otherwise, in an air battle where the enemy is outnumbered, even if the 10 Chinese fighter planes have ace pilots, their chances of survival will be slim.
Because, except for Le Yiqing and three veteran pilots who had participated in air combat, the other six people were all flight team students who had not yet graduated.
Their instructors and seniors spilled most of their blood in the battle in March. Now, it's up to them.
Even if it is green.
Without the skill to control fighter planes or rich combat experience, the only thing they have is the courage to sacrifice without fear.
The young pilot whose name no one knew was hanging slightly in the aircraft cabin, but the rudder in his hand remained still, the accelerator pedal was still pressed hard by the foot that had lost control, and the fighter plane still flew forward resolutely.
Hawke III seemed to know that its comrades had quietly left. It exploded at a dazzling high speed, exceeding the theoretical limit of the design, and flew forward at a speed of 440 kilometers per hour, like an arrow being shot.
Keep moving forward!
The aircraft behind them gritted their teeth and chased the two 96s at a speed of up to 420 kilometers per hour. They could only be dumbfounded.
Soaring at such a speed, the damaged Chinese fighter jet would automatically disintegrate in a few minutes without them having to shoot again.
But, what does it matter? In the cabin of the Chinese fighter plane that they could not see, a young man with his head lowered and no longer breathing had a slight smile on his face.
"Our bodies, aircraft and bombs should perish together with the enemy's warship positions!" The young pilot used his life to practice the school motto engraved on the stone at the entrance of the aviation school. He could smile and say to the instructors and seniors who could not return, I
Didn't disappoint you.
He is not the only young pilot to make such a choice.
The same was true for the six Chinese fighter planes that fought with the Japanese planes at low altitude.
Because the Chinese troops were on the ground, when Chinese fighter planes were hit by bullets and started to smoke and burst into flames, Le Yiqing always ordered the pilots to parachute immediately. However, his orders were often rejected.
If you skydive, the chance of survival is higher than 70%. If you don't jump, the chance of death is 90%. This is a truth that everyone knows.
However, the young Chinese pilots still refused.
For the Chinese pilots of this era, Tang Dao, a soul from the future, looks at this war from a different perspective.
China now not only lacks pilots, but also lacks more airplanes.
Although they all know that training a pilot is not easy, it takes at least one and a half years from entering an aviation school to becoming a combat-ready rookie pilot.
However, no matter how difficult it is to train, China has a huge population base and can still train pilots, but the planes are really gone.
At the beginning of the war, the Japanese, who had a powerful naval fleet, blocked the southeast and northern seaports. At this time, even if China had money, it could not buy airplanes.
After losing the three northeastern provinces that accounted for 80% of China's heavy industry a few years ago, China's fragile heavy industry has difficulty even producing gun steel. How can it manufacture aircraft?
If there are no fighter planes, what's the use of leaving more pilots?
Therefore, even if the cabin was on fire and even if smoke was billowing from the tail of the plane, almost no Chinese pilots parachuted. They either desperately insisted on driving the plane towards Jinling, or they flew to low altitude, making precarious preparations.
Crash landing in the wilderness.
At this moment, the Chinese Air Force proved to the Chinese Army, which boasts that it dares to hold explosives to blow up tanks, with a bravery that is not inferior to that of the infantry: the Chinese Air Force never hesitated to sacrifice in the Great Patriotic War.
This Patriotic War belongs to all Chinese people from the very beginning.
No matter if he is an army! Or an air force! Or a navy that doesn’t even have ships!
