Three hundred and sixtieth chapters feel the weakness
Yu Ming, who shot down two of the latest Japanese Zero fighters in one fell swoop, not only achieved a rare victory against the Zero fighters, but also keenly discovered that the body strength of this new Japanese fighter was extremely weak and could not perform a large overload dive.
.Once it dives too hard, its fragile body is likely to disintegrate on the spot due to its most fatal weaknesses.
Not only is the body of this aircraft too fragile to withstand the heavy overload during a high-speed dive. In the dive state, its engine should be relatively easy to stall. When I was getting out of a high-speed dive, the Zero fighter behind me stopped several times. Unexpectedly
Do not stop pursuit briefly and recover to avoid crashing.
Moreover, this kind of aircraft is maneuverable, flexible, has excellent fighting performance, and has a very small hovering radius. It can only operate at low speeds. Once the speed exceeds a certain limit, the movements of this kind of aircraft will be extremely cumbersome. The self-climbing is changed to
After level flight, when accelerating and performing maneuvers, the Zero fighter behind him could only keep flying forward and level.
Although this kind of aircraft is very fast, the inability to maneuver at high speeds will undoubtedly have little effect in the face of an opponent with a similar speed and not slower than you. Without that opponent, it will continue to do so.
It flies flat in front of you, letting you bite and get beaten.
The most important thing is that when this kind of fighter turns to the right, it moves extremely slowly. Although my P-39 fighter has poor high-altitude performance, its low-altitude performance is not bad. Especially the acceleration performance and low-altitude recovery
The ability is quite outstanding.
As long as we can seize the opportunity at this time and use its slow right-turning and deformation characteristics to get close to them in time, it is not too difficult to shoot them down. Of course, the most fatal weakness of the Zero fighter is
It's just that its body is too thin. Only a dozen rounds of 12.7mm bullets turned it into a fireball burning in the air.
Yu Ming, who was experienced and experienced after all, summed up the weaknesses of the Zero in a short period of time, reported it to his subordinates as soon as possible. But unfortunately, the enemy planes were not the three in front of him. In addition,
The number of aircraft watching the battle from the periphery was dozens of times that of myself and my subordinates. The number of aircraft directly entering the battlefield was also several times that of my own.
Although his subordinates have been tested for a long time in war, their technical performance is still different. In this almost one-sided air battle, it is not only the Japanese army that suffered losses. Just now Yu Ming was entangled with the three-machine formation chasing him.
Within ten minutes, the situation on the battlefield became even more unfavorable for Ming.
These ten minutes may seem short, but for Yu Ming's men, it is an unforgettable moment. Since the squadron was transferred to Qiqihar, it has fought more than a dozen air battles, large and small. After the air battle,
There were not many planes that were seriously damaged, but not a single fighter jet was shot down.
In just ten minutes, although Yu Ming and his men shot down three Zero Fighters and four ME 109 fighters, their own losses were quite heavy for this squadron. Even
It can be described as a strain. For Yu Ming, what worries him the most is not the aircraft that the headquarters will always find a way to replenish, but his capable subordinates.
When Yu Ming told his subordinates on the radio the lessons he had learned from the air battle with three Zero Fighters. He was proud of the eight fighter jets in this squadron on the battlefield, including him.
Including his wingman, there were only three aircraft left. In addition to his own formation, there was only one lead aircraft that the wingman had lost, and it was still hovering in the air. In other words, in the air battle, he lost a whole
Two semi-double aircraft formations.
Below is the enemy-occupied area. Even if these pilots parachute, it is unlikely that they can return to the base. What's more, among the five planes that were shot down, almost none of the pilots who parachuted were able to parachute. It's not that they were on fire after being beaten.
The plane died together with the enemy. It was shot dead in mid-air by the enemy while parachuting.
Looking at the only two fighter jets left beside him, and then at the enemy aircraft that had taken advantage of their numerical advantage to encircle them, Yu Ming gritted his teeth and said to the only remaining lead pilot: "Comrades, we
We can't all die here. Someone must take today's experience back and report it to the headquarters. When the enemy planes rush up, my wingman and I will cover it. You turn on the acceleration and rush out with all your strength."
"Although the Japanese aircraft is flexible, its maneuverability can only be exerted at low speeds. As long as we turn on the acceleration and break through to Qiqihar with all our strength, there is no chance. As for the performance of the Mei fighter, you all know,
I don’t need to say anything.”
"Remember, if the enemy planes catch up during the breakout, dive with all your strength and roll to the right to get away. I stress again, you must remember that you must not even think about fighting them, let alone climb up.
Escape and roll to the left to escape. These little devil's planes are too maneuverable."
After hearing Yu Ming's order, the only remaining lead pilot besides him said: "Squadron Commander, you were the one who shot down those three new Japanese planes. The experience is all in your head. You must not sacrifice it."
Here, your wingman and I will serve as cover, and you rush out. Squadron leader, this is not for yourself, but for other comrades in our aviation force."
As for the lead pilot letting him cover him and rushing out first, Yu Ming smiled calmly and said: "Do you think I am the kind of person who abandons his comrades and comrades and escapes alone? Our squadron has twelve aircraft, except
Apart from the four escorting No. 1, we are the only ones left. I have already lost four brothers here, and I will never leave you behind again."
The lead pilot heard Yu Ming's somewhat forlorn tone and quickly shouted over the radio: "Squadron Commander, you must go. Not only for us, but also to avenge those brothers who sacrificed their lives, and also for the sake of the rest of us."
Comrade, you will not die in vain under the cannon of this new type of Japanese aircraft. You are not only a squadron leader, you will also be an instructor."
"Furthermore, my plane has been damaged, and the engine power has dropped. The fuel tank has also been damaged, and the remaining fuel is not enough to fly back. Even if you create a gap for me, I'm afraid I won't be able to fly.
It’s too far. Rather than being lost in the middle of the road, it’s better to fight with them here. Fighting for one person is enough, fighting for a pair of people is enough to make money. Squadron leader, you must go back."
Having said that, the lead pilot no longer cared about what Yu Ming had in mind. He swung his wings and piloted the fighter plane, which was obviously somewhat deformed in flight. With Yu Ming's wingman following him automatically, he had already completed regrouping towards the opposite side and was heading towards him.
The enemy plane came over. During the process of contacting the enemy, he did not choose to climb and gain altitude, but chose an altitude of five thousand meters.
The p-39 fighter has poor high-altitude performance, and its climbing speed is far inferior to that of the Japanese new fighter jets. There is also the me-109 fighter with excellent high-altitude performance at high altitudes. At this time, if you choose to climb to seize altitude, there is no other fighter except your own wingman.
Under cover, it will undoubtedly only make you die faster.
If you want to persist for more time, you can only choose the mid-to-low altitude P-39 fighter, which has the best performance and can best display the technical and tactical level of this aircraft. Only by delaying the Japanese aircraft as much as possible can you give yourself
The squadron leader creates a breakout opportunity.
Seeing his subordinates protruding out for cover, almost certainly facing the enemy without any return, Yu Ming's eyes turned red. But his mind was not impulsive because of this. He watched several battles with him.
Zero Battle was entangled with his only remaining lead aircraft and his wingman. Yu Ming knew that he had to go back alive today and report the weaknesses of the enemy's new fighter aircraft during today's air battle to his superiors.
Gritting his teeth, he saw that he had escaped from the three enemy planes that were trying to stay behind and rushed towards him. Yu Ming controlled the fighter plane, flipped backwards neatly, turned on the acceleration, and prepared to break out in the direction of Qiqihar. At this moment,
Dawn's call suddenly rang in the radio earphone of Yu Ming's landline phone.
Liming's call seemed urgent. He didn't know how many of Yu Ming and the eight fighter jets he had left to cover still survived now that the Japanese reinforcements had arrived. After receiving Liming's call, Yu Ming turned on the intercom and called
I gave him a brief report on the current situation.
When he learned that the reinforcements had arrived and were on top of him, Yu Ming immediately briefly and concisely reported to Liming the weaknesses of the new Japanese fighter jets that he had discovered in the air battle, and proposed a plan.
My suggestion is that the newly reinforced troops should not get entangled with the enemy in the air.
Taking advantage of the rugged nature of the US-made fighter bodies, high-altitude dives and hit-and-run tactics were adopted. The focus of the attack was on the high-altitude ME 109 fighter jets and the new Japanese fighter jets. Especially the new Japanese fighter jets that pose the greatest threat. As for that side
If you are still trying to figure out new fighter jets that you have never seen before, just send some fighter jets to contain them.
Regarding Yu Ming's suggestion, Liming agreed without any thought. For Liming, who had just returned to the battlefield, it was obvious that all the new Japanese aircraft gathered in the air combat area were new and powerful, and no one was better than Yu Ming.
The right to speak. Liming, who was still very familiar with Yu Ming's tactical qualities, had no reason not to accept his suggestions.
After receiving Yu Ming's report, Liming made a tactical deployment in the shortest time. With all the P-39 fighter jets on hand that had actual combat experience, except for a squadron that stayed behind to deal with the Japanese Type 97 fighter group.
All the remaining fighter jets were used to deal with the new Japanese fighter jets below.
The P-40 fighters, which had no actual combat experience and had just completed conversion training and aerial combat training, were divided into three. In addition to staying on the way, they cooperated with the P-39 fighter squadron to deal with the 20 fighters who were preparing to cut off the retreat of the Yu Ming aircraft group.
Outside the twelve of the seven Type 97 fighter jets.
This P 40 fighter group, the remaining two squadrons are divided into two. For the ME 109 fighter group hovering at an altitude of 6,000 meters, and other Japanese fighter jets serving as air security not far away, clean and neat attack
After the commanders of the three fighter groups completed the tactical arrangements, Li Ming didn't say a word of nonsense. He only uttered two words "attack".
