Just when Lao Tie thought he was about to die under the collision of the Japanese plane, bullets flying from nowhere hit the Japanese plane that was on fire again.
The plane exploded and caught fire in the sky a hundred meters away from Laotie. The huge explosion swept hot wind and scattered pieces of the plane flying in all directions.
At this moment, both Lao Tie, Duan Wu, Commander Huo and other Chinese soldiers, as well as the Japanese soldiers lying on the hillside, all ran for cover.
These fragments covered a huge area, covering at least half a kilometer in radius. The fragmented aircraft fragments were like a heavy rain on the entire battlefield.
Fortunately for the Chinese soldiers, they had simple fortifications to hide in, but the Japanese were all on the unprotected hillsides.
Part of the MCC brigade suffered heavy damage again, with more than 30 people killed and injured in the explosion.
But on the contrary, in Dragon Boat Festival, Master Huo, Lao Tie and others, only a dozen people were killed or injured. Although Lao Tie was stabbed in the shoulder by something like a steel bar, it was not fatal.
He got up from the ground and continued shooting at the Japanese under the thick smoke.
At the same time, the roar of Hawker fighter jets came from the sky, and there was a non-standard Chinese pronunciation - I'm here!
It turned out that at this critical moment of life and death, it was Brooke who flew a fighter jet and four other fighter jets from the China Aviation First Group to come to support.
Power unit: 1 Wright R-1820-F53 radial air-cooled piston engine, maximum power 555 kilowatts.
Weapons: 1 12.7mm caliber machine gun, 1 7.62mm caliber machine gun, can mount one 227kg or four 53kg bombs.
This is by far the fighter jet with the most superior performance that the First Aviation Group can produce.
There were three before, but during the Battle of Yushan, Brooke and his good brother Paul came to support, and one of them died in the battle and the other made an emergency landing. The two fighter jets also crashed.
The remaining four Chinese pilots flew Breda BA-27 fighter jets.
The Breda BA-27 fighter is a product of the transition from bi-wing fighters to mono-wing fighters at that time.
Its design has the characteristics of most fighter jets in that transitional era: trouser-type fixed landing gear, wing strengthening struts and tension lines set up to prevent the fuselage from strength problems caused by excessive speed, open
Cockpit.
So much so that this design doesn't look like a battle-tested fighter, but more like a relatively large beer barrel.
Therefore, this kind of fighter was not welcomed once it came out, and Breda had to turn its attention abroad.
Finally in 1935, they found the Chinese Air Force who was willing to contribute to the development of the Italian aviation industry. In the end, a total of 12 Breda BA-27 fighter jets were sold to China.
China became the takeover, and initially thought it had purchased the most advanced fighter jets in the world at the time.
But in actual operation, the Chinese pilots discovered that they had been fooled. The performance of this crappy monoplane fighter was completely inferior to the old Hawker III. The so-called advanced monoplane was just a gimmick.
Its engine vibrates very violently when it rotates, and its flexibility is extremely poor. This makes the Breda BA-27 fighter jet, although it has the reputation of being the world's most advanced fighter jet, but its performance is not as good as that of the old biplane fighter.
But even so, in China, these four fighters were still capable fighters at that time. At least they could compete with the Japanese fighters in the air.
Five Japanese bombers were destroyed under the attack of four Breda BA-27 fighter jets, and the remaining bombers fled in all directions.
Although the Japanese Type 93 bombers at that time were considered very advanced, fighting in the air with fighter jets was like hitting an egg against a rock.
The only three remaining Japanese fighter jets quickly responded to the challenge, but at this moment, Brooke made a beautiful pull up and opened a hole in the belly of a Japanese fighter jet.
The Japanese fighter jet suffered heavy damage and a fire broke out in the cabin.
The pilot tried his best to fly the plane toward the Yangtze River, because there were their own people there. And the buffering force of the plane entering the water might allow him to survive.
There were only two Japanese fighter jets left. Captain Xiong Fei was panicked. Because from the brief confrontation, he noticed something unusual about the opponent's pilots.
The first is that he quietly approached the Japanese aircraft group, and he didn't even notice it. The second was the opponent's driving skills. After diving and accurately intercepting the fighter planes that hit Dongshan, he quickly pulled up, and the aircraft made spinning movements in the air, and easily
of hitting a fighter jet in the belly.
It is hard to imagine how the other party did it while the plane was traveling at high speed. But it is undeniable that the other party is a rival of his Xiong Fei.
Xiong Fei ordered another fighter pilot to deal with the other four fighters, and ordered the broken bomber formation to regroup, while he and Brooke fought face to face with gongs and drums.
Both sides are highly skilled, constantly chasing each other in the air, changing various flying postures and shooting at each other.
Colonel Xiongfei's attack was fierce, and he always took the initiative in the battle with the superior performance of the Type 97 fighter jet.
But Brooke was extremely cunning. While he was laughing at Xiong Fei's incompetence, he kept changing the flight path just to prevent Xiong Fei from catching him.
Moreover, the flexibility of the biplane gave Xiong Fei a huge headache. The opponent's speed was not as fast as his own, but it was as difficult to catch as a small sparrow.
Captain Xiong Fei was tricked by Brooke, and it was difficult to win in a short time. The same was true for other Japanese fighter planes. He did not care about attacking the ground, but was too tired to deal with the enemy planes in the air.
Perhaps they never dreamed that the Chinese Air Force would dare to once again dispatch aircraft to engage in air combat with the aircraft of the Japanese Empire. Because of the battle in Songhu, all five brigades of China Aviation suffered heavy losses. China’s airspace was already controlled by the Japanese Empire.
’s world.
But today, the Chinese Air Force once again taught them a lesson. China still has a trump card, but it just didn't show it.
At this time, the Japanese aircraft in the sky were entangled, and the pressure on the ground troops suddenly eased. The anti-aircraft weapons that had been fighting desperately with the Japanese aircraft also launched fire suppression on the Japanese ground troops at this time.
The first unit of the MCC brigade, which was infinitely close to the Dongshan headquarters, was beaten to a pulp. Those temporary bunkers patchworked here and there could no longer block the firepower of Chinese anti-aircraft artillery.
The bunkers were crushed one after another, and more than two-thirds of the more than 400 Japanese soldiers were killed or injured.
The soldiers had no fighting spirit. Even if the MCC village roared desperately, it could not change the decline of the Japanese army.
When seven or eight anti-aircraft machine guns joined the battle, the last remaining hope of MCC Village was evaporated.
One after another, his soldiers were hit by 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullets. Their bodies were beaten into sieves, and the bright red blood flowed into small rivers.
The soil was dyed red, and the roaring MCC was hit by seven bullets, with half of its head blown off.
The remaining forty or so Japanese soldiers fled in panic.
At this moment, Dragon Boat Festival pulled out the sword from his waist and roared: "Kill me, and I won't leave any Japanese behind!..."
