Among the eleven Japanese planes, the first seven suddenly accelerated to the altitude, and then swooped down like a mountain; the other four flew sideways, roared, made an arc, and then accelerated and collided; behind these eleven Japanese planes, there were another Several Japanese planes came up to fill in. Meng Caifei, who had a sinister smile on his face a moment ago and had already pressed the cannon firing button with his left hand, suddenly found that the target had climbed above and in front of him. His first reaction was that the little Japanese wanted to find it. The shooting angle was good enough to shoot at himself in the cockpit. He felt a slight shiver in his heart. He started to pull the push rod back with his right hand. When he looked up again, he saw the Type 97 warship bombardment diving down at high speed. An idea flashed in his mind, and he immediately Recognizing his intention, his face couldn't help but change. It was not easy for the Sky Fortress to adjust its flight attitude at high speed. As the nose of the plane slowly raised, he looked around and saw other Japanese planes attacking with thunderous force. He came over and blurted out: "Be careful, the Japanese want to die with us." After shouting this, he looked up at the Type 97 warship that was pressing down on his head, and saw the ferocious face behind the porthole. And flying, the distance of two to three thousand meters was reached in an instant. At this moment, the Type 97 naval bombardment was no more than three hundred meters away from his plane. This thought flashed through Meng Caifei's mind: It doesn't matter how ruthless the dog is. The common sense in air combat is that you cannot fire when the distance is too close. I pressed it with my left hand fiercely. "Bang, bang, bang..." The two cannons spit out tongues of flame as long as a foot at the same time, and hit the nose part of the Type 97 naval bomber that was diving down at high speed. The bombs immediately exploded in a series, and then turned into a burning fireball and hit the cockpit of the Sky Fortress.
"Put on the oxygen mask." Only these words were left in the command channel, and Meng Caifei's voice disappeared from the world.
1051's nose was first hit by a Japanese plane that had been destroyed by artillery fire. Then, after shooting down a Japanese plane that rushed over from the right, it was hit by a Japanese plane that came from behind and hit the fuselage. Then there was a sudden explosion and a loud bang. Amidst the loud explosion, 1051 disintegrated, and then turned into a huge fireball and smashed towards the sea amidst the continuous explosion.
1051 was just one of them. Following closely behind, a medium-sized Baiji bomber was flanked by two Japanese planes and was hit by one of them with its right wing broken off. It spun and fell into the sea.
When fully loaded, the speed of the Sky Fortress and the Baiji medium-sized bombers could only be the same as that of the unladen Japanese bombers and torpedo planes at best, but their maneuverability was inferior. It was this difference that made the cadet aviation very passive. In just a quarter of an hour At that time, the three air fortresses were all hit by the Japanese fighter planes. Two of them crashed directly, and the other one persisted and crashed into a Japanese heavy cruiser. They retaliated with others and died together. The tactics taught the Japanese a painful lesson; Xia Quanyong promptly ordered the return of three Baiji medium-sized bombers, but two of them were lost.
Wang Hai saw this scene from a distance and was stunned. He never expected that the Japanese army would adopt such tactics. Those Japanese carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes that he regarded as sheep actually turned into the enemies of the flying fortress. , the speed of bombers and torpedo planes under no-load conditions is not weaker than that of the aerial fortress, and their flexibility is even better. In this case, if our fighter force cannot suppress them, then these Japanese planes will not be able to suppress them. Huge rockets? No, rockets are not an appropriate description. To be more precise, they should be man-controlled missiles.
"The Commander and the Chief of Staff have really been fooled. Old Japanese Japanese Yamamoto really has a back-up plan, and he uses such vicious methods." Wang Hai was so angry that he could not do anything. It seems that Xia Quanyong and the others actually did not suffer a loss. The Japanese planes used a total of nine fighter planes to knock down five Xuebing Army fighters. However, considering the cost of the Sky Fortress and Baiji medium bombers, the Xuebing Army suffered a big loss. , Wang Hai thought about it and found that he could not break through the suicide formation of the Japanese with the small amount of troops he had, and once he fell into it, it would definitely affect Ye Zhao's arrangement, and he could only knock out his teeth and swallow his blood.
Because of Ye Zhao and Zhang Gongming's vigilance, Wang Hai didn't even think about continuing to test. As soon as he found out that something was impossible, he immediately ordered the bomber unit to withdraw first. He also gave an order to the commanders of the four fighter divisions, asking them to try their best to hold off the Japs and not give the Japs a chance. Pursue our bomber forces,
The "special attack tactics" were successful. Tsukahara Er43's heart finally fell into his stomach. The little Japanese happily ran to Yamamoto to report the good news: "Sir, the special attack tactics really worked. The Chinese people were scared away."
Yamamoto had already seen the scene just now, and he asked: "How are the conditions of Miyamoto and Kawakami? Can they withstand it?"
"The soldiers were very brave and fought hard to withstand the Chinese offensive."
"Then let Hashimoto launch a pursuit immediately. There is an old saying in China that is to send Buddha to the West. We have already given a big gift to Shozo Kawabe, so let's be more generous and give them another big gift."
"Hai, I'll give the order right away."
"Leave a flying team for defense to prevent the student army from coming back."
"I understand the humble position."
After Tsukahara turned around and left, Yamamoto smiled and said to Inoue Narumi: "The flying fortress of the Xuebing Army came loaded with bombs. It was originally intended to destroy us, but now it was self-defeating and became the last straw for them. , Haha, I’m looking forward to Ouyang Yun’s expression now after receiving the battle report.”
Inoue responded with a laugh and said: "I think Ouyang Yun will cry and say, if I had known Mr. Yamamoto was here, then I should have let those sky fortresses stay at home and guard the house. I regretted it. where."
"Haha." Yamamoto laughed louder,
A few minutes later, the loudspeaker on Hashimoto's landline first blasted wild words: "His Majesty the Emperor's eagles, have you seen it? Because of our bravery, the Chinese people were scared away. Mr. Yamamoto ordered us to pursue the victory. Soldiers, also Remember the humiliation of 'sinking the bar'? Now it's time to take revenge. Go after them bravely and knock them down."
Then, the loudspeakers on the landlines of various mid-level and low-level officers began to repeat these words. The morale of the Japanese army was unprecedentedly high. They seemed to have completely forgotten that the mission they performed was actually life-or-death, and they paid the price with their own lives.
Tsukasa originally conveyed the pursuit order to Hashimoto, and then sent an order to Kawakawa, ordering him to hold back the white-fin dolphin troops of the Xuebing Army at all costs, and assured him that as long as he could do this, it would be the first achievement. In the end, he was proud Wan Zhang said to Kawakami: "The Chinese's fighter production capacity is limited. If all these aerial fortresses can be left behind, the threat of long-range strikes from the Xuebing Army will not be a problem. By then, our aircraft carriers will wander around the East China Sea and the South China Sea. And Kawakami-kun, you will be able to lead the Yamato flying team to enter and exit the airspace of the cadet army at will, and you no longer have to worry about the loss of your backyard. Kawakami-kun, keep up the good work."
When Kawakami launched his attack, he didn't know what means he would use to deal with the Gakuin Army's flying fortress cluster. At this time, after hearing what Tsukahara said, he thought he had come up with the idea of using carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes to counter the flying fortress. , I couldn’t help but be shocked by the heavenly beings, and kept saying “Hai”, my admiration was beyond words.
This made Tsukahara even more proud, as if the aerial fortress cluster in front of him was about to be destroyed.
