The ground firepower he had deployed long ago stopped shooting when the enemy and our air fleets began to strangle each other, because the distance between the two sides was too close, and there were more than 40 anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns in total.
I didn't dare to fire at will, for fear of accidentally shooting my own plane down. That would be really bad.
The reason why the three Japanese planes dared to chase the "Eight Star" fighters into low altitudes below a thousand meters was because they were well aware of the concerns about ground firepower. Otherwise, how could they have the guts to enter the attack range of the ground firepower network?
The tragic fate of the previous four Japanese aircraft had already told the pilots of Japan's Hainan Airlines that although there were not many anti-aircraft guns on the ground, if they entered below 600 meters, the chance of being hit would be as high as 70%.
Therefore, the three Japanese planes seemed to be pursuing fiercely, but in fact they still maintained enough vigilance. The "Eight Star" fighters had dropped to a low altitude of 500 meters, and they were basically still pursuing them in the airspace of about 700 meters.
The height difference of 200 meters and the straight-line distance is less than 500 meters, which is still within the range of their machine guns. As long as the "Eight-Star" fighter plane shows a slight weakness, they will open fire.
However, despite the seemingly long 500 meters, for a fighter jet that increases its horsepower to its maximum speed of almost more than 100 meters per second, it is actually only a matter of one or two breaths, even if the firepower airspace is preset in advance
If it fires, the 'Eight-Star' fighter plane must be within the attack range of the crazy bullets.
However, there was not much time left for the hesitant Tang Dao.
The various anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns deployed by the advance group along the route are only about 2,500 meters wide. The four fighters are chasing each other, almost at full speed. It only takes 30 seconds to completely leave the attack range of the fire network.
However, the "Eight-Star" fighter jets that had completely lost their altitude advantage have almost become a luxury if they want to improve their altitude under the fire of three Japanese aircraft with more than eight machine guns.
Yes, from the moment Le Yiqing decided to dive down, hoping to use the firepower network to deal with the three Japanese fighter planes behind him, he had already put his life in the hands of Tang Dao, the ground commander.
Giving your life to a comrade, a comrade you have never met before, this goes far beyond the so-called trust.
Because he was also making a last-ditch effort for his two remaining comrades. Otherwise, even if he, as an ace pilot, could get rid of the three Japanese planes, the two Chinese pilots who had gone crazy would not be able to fight again.
Follow him back.
Whenever I think of those young men who once flew past the hillside in high spirits, and those beautiful girls who waved desperately, but after this battle, I was left alone, and I no longer dared to enter the sky from the hillside. The young middle-aged man
The captain was heartbroken.
For the sake of these lovely young people, he decided to fight for a future for them, even if he died.
The Hawk III passed over the woods where Tang Dao was located at high speed. The air force captain stared down and the army lieutenant colonel looked up.
Their eyes met in the air, but neither of them actually saw their comrade's face.
It's just that there is no need to meet or discuss some thoughts in detail. Soldiers on the battlefield only need to hold on to their steel guns. You and I both know that it is just a fight to the death!
"Please fire at me, in the name of your comrades! Please!"
Hawke III waved his wings slightly and asked Tang Dao again, who was looking up at him.
"Please fire at me in the name of your comrades!"
In the sky 700 meters above, the three golden five-pointed stars on the fuselage of a leading Japanese aircraft closely following Le Yiqing were extremely dazzling under the sunlight. They were obviously the ace cards of the Japanese fighter planes.
The three gold stars represent that three Chinese fighter planes and three pilots were killed by the Japanese machine gun.
In the cabin, a Japanese naval aviation captain controlled and pushed the rudder to accurately maintain the aircraft at an altitude of 700 meters. He looked at the Hawk III at an altitude of 200 meters below and screamed forward, with a terrifying scar on his face that looked extremely distorted.
A cruel and proud smile.
As Junji Watanabe's deputy, Kotaro Koizumi actually took over the command of the entire fleet after Junji Watanabe finished his work. He is now the supreme commander of all Japanese aircraft remaining in the air.
As for the Chinese fighter plane in front of him, which had twice as many five-pointed stars as his own and shot down two of his own fighters in a row, he did not challenge him to a one-on-one duel just because he had a record of shooting down three fighter planes.
He was cautious enough. Not only did he lead two wingmen to hunt him down, but he also had an insight into his opponent's ambition to hope for the help of the ground fire network. From the moment he entered the medium and low altitude below 1,000 meters, he required everyone to keep the altitude at 700 meters or even
above higher altitudes.
In fact, it cannot be said that Kotaro Koizumi is timid. In fact, looking at the entire Third Fleet Navy, no one can compare with the tenacity of this Japanese Navy Air Force captain.
When he first arrived in Songhu, on the sixth day of fighting, Kotaro Koizumi, who had already shot down three opponent fighter planes, was injured and was shot in the face.
Yes, you heard it right, he was indeed shot in the face. The terrible machine gun bullet penetrated through the left cheek, shattered most of the gums, and then exited through the right cheek.
It is conceivable that just the severe pain caused by being shot is enough to send ordinary pilots into shock and eventually kill them, not to mention that Kotaro Koizumi had to face the ongoing battle in the air at that time.
If nothing else goes wrong, this guy is dead. However, this guy is surprisingly tenacious. Not only did he grit his teeth and persevere until the end of the battle, he even flew back to the aircraft carrier more than a hundred kilometers away and successfully landed on the ship.
The captain of the Japanese Navy Air Force, whose head and face were covered with blood, was completely dragged out of the cockpit by medics and received a military salute from the Japanese troops on the entire aircraft carrier.
A terrible will, even on the devil's side, will still gain respect.
This was his first battle after recovering from his injury. Being personally awarded the medal by General Kiyoshi Hasegawa, he only became more cruel and tenacious, instead of becoming cowardly.
The reason for being so cautious is that he knows that he cannot defeat the Chinese Air Force's ace in a single fight, but only by defeating the Chinese Air Force's ace can the Chinese Air Force's last will to resist be destroyed.
A Japanese air commander who is willing to give up his own honor and start fighting for the entire fleet is actually far more terrifying than a fanatical Japanese ace pilot who only wants to gain merit.
Kotaro Koizumi knew the plan of the Chinese ace pilot, and he also knew the dilemma of the Chinese infantry commander. The terrifying ground fire net may pose a sufficient threat to him and his colleagues, but it will also involve lower-altitude Chinese fighters in bullets.
craze.
Therefore, he kept the plane at an altitude of 700 meters. Except for the terrifying 20mm anti-aircraft cannon, the anti-aircraft machine gun, which could only shoot at a maximum height of 800 meters, actually posed little threat to them.
As long as the Chinese dared to fire artillery, he would immediately lead two colleagues to help them kill the two Chinese fighter planes.
Even if the Chinese ace pilot escaped because of this, with the support of his ground fire network, the battle damage ratio of 13 to 9 would at least make the general's face not as ugly as that of Chi Guoxiang.
And if the Chinese don't fire, that's even better. In just 15 seconds, they can rush forward another 1,800 meters and escape their firepower network. China's ace pilot will be dead.
For Kotaro Koizumi, no matter what choice he makes on the ground, at least he will not lose money.
However, this Japanese Navy Air Force captain really underestimated the Chinese ace pilot, and also underestimated the decision-making of the army commander on the ground.
When Tang Dao looked at the gently swaying wings of the Hawk III, his eyes instantly filled with blood: "The whole army opened fire! The whole army opened fire! The cannons were aimed at the airspace behind the Hawk III, and the remaining light and heavy machine guns were covered with firepower!"
As three red flares were fired into the sky, the hedgehog that had been silent opened its spikes again.
The fierce sound of machine gunfire made the fighter planes still chasing each other in the sky tremble, and they all chose to pull up to a higher altitude to avoid harming Chiyu!
