A Zero Fighter swooped over from the front, and a New Falcon sneaked around in a circle and charged in from the left. Liu Xuefeng knew that his previous performance had attracted the attention of the Japanese army, and he shouted into the chat with the corner of his mouth: "2003, report the position and situation." 2003 is his wingman, and the pilot is Chen Chong, the former Chongqing Central Aviation School who has been awarded the title of ace pilot, but has earned the nickname "rookie", "2003 report, the position is on the right rear , just shot down an enemy plane."
"I'll leave the front part to you." Wang Xuefeng said, suddenly pulling the fuselage to hang sideways on the ground, and then faced the new Falcon approaching from the left.
"No problem." Chen Chong responded with a carefree voice, and fiercely pulled up the fighter plane, hoping to gain a certain height to suppress the Zero Fighter. He skillfully controlled the fighter plane, first climbing and then flattening the nose of the plane. He was about to press the accelerator to the bottom and dive towards the Zero Fighter, but he saw a huge fireball suddenly appear in the background of the flying planes behind the Zero Fighter, and then a rumble of explosions sounded, but it was a Sky Fortress. It was hit by two Japanese planes one after another, and then exploded together and was swallowed up by a huge fireball.
It was not easy for the fully loaded Sky Fortress to complete its turn, so although Tsukahara 243's pursuit order was a beat late, the unloaded bombers and torpedo planes of the combined fleet still managed to seize Xia Quanyong's bomber force in a preemptive manner. At the tail end, more than a hundred carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes of various types were chasing the Xuebing Army's aerial fortress and Baiji medium bomber cluster like a swarm of wasps smelling the fragrance of flowers. One aerial fortress could not evade, and was first attacked by another The bomber hit the tail of the aircraft condescendingly, and then was stabbed diagonally into the fuselage by a torpedo plane, followed by a violent explosion...
Chen Chong and the others were still more than ten kilometers away from the sea area where the combined fleet was located. This was the result of the desperate persistence of the Japanese fighter squadrons, so they did not see the scene when Meng Caifei and the others launched their exploratory attack. Until now, Seeing the Japanese fighter planes rushing towards our air fortress one after another, Chen Chong and the others could not help but be dumbfounded. They were completely stunned by the suicide tactics of the little Japanese.
Chen Chong saw this style of play for the first time and couldn't understand it at all. He asked Liu Xuefeng on the walkie-talkie: "Master, what kind of tactics are you guys doing? They are just a bunch of lunatics."
Liu Xuefeng saw the problem more deeply than Chen Chong, and he was also calmer than Chen Chong. He first concentrated on shooting down the new Falcon on the left, and then he had time to say, seemingly to himself: "I said little devil Why do you look so confident that you actually come up with such a stupid idea?"
"The method is stupid, but it is very effective." Chen Chong regained his composure and saw the truth behind it: "When the Sky Fortress is fully loaded, its speed can only reach 70% of the maximum speed, but the Japanese bombers and torpedo planes are all empty. One is ebbing and the other is ebbing, which is why the little devil adopts such vicious tactics. If the division seat and the air fortress are not reduced, I am afraid that the entire army will be destroyed."
The Japanese carrier-based bombers and torpedo plane aviation troops carried out suicide tactics with complete disregard for their own safety. After the cadet aviation troops of the Flying Fortress raised their altitude, these devils tried to avoid the machine guns, cannons, and rockets at the front, rear, and left of the Flying Fortress. The only option was to attack from the top. Just as Chen Chong was doing this analysis, Liu Xuefeng saw a Type 97 warship overshoot. As a result, the fuselage could not bear the high pressure and the fuselage automatically disintegrated. Even if this happened What happened, those Japanese planes were still rushing forward one after another, and in just one minute, another flying fortress was hit by the Japanese planes that were charging upward. The fuselage was damaged, and the speed suddenly slowed down, and then It could only become a collision target for other Japanese planes. Finally, when it was hit by the third Japanese plane, it exploded and fell.
He never thought that air combat could be fought like this. As Liu Xuefeng gained experience, he couldn't help but feel deeply afraid of the Japanese. At the same time, he was worried about his own battle losses. If Chen Chong hadn't reminded him, he would have almost been killed. Zero War was attacked by surprise,
The value of one flying fortress plus the ammunition it carries is worth four or five Japanese carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes. In this way, even if the Japanese army exchanges three fighter planes for one flying fortress, it will definitely make a profit. This is still secondary. Yes, this means that the Japanese aircraft carrier will now have the means to control the cluster bombing of the air fortress. "We must not let the little devils do whatever they want." Liu Xuefeng thought this way and shouted in the command channel: "Brothers, don't fight with us. The fighter jets of the Japs are entangled. Reinforce our brothers. The air fortress needs us. 2003, cover me." After shouting, he suddenly increased his speed and rushed directly towards the Japanese carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes.
While Liu Xuefeng and others were trying to solve the crisis of the Aerial Fortress troops, Wang Hai and Xia Quanyong also came up with countermeasures. , Wang Hai, who was familiar with the battlefield situation, had more detailed thoughts. He shouted on the walkie-talkie: "Brothers, spread out and follow me." Then he flew straight towards the unknown sandy land.
On the side of the cadet army, whether they were fighter units that arrived at the battlefield early or bomber units that arrived later, after learning that the Air Force Command intended to "sink it" again, all of them were high-spirited and full of expectations. A "sinking" allowed more than a hundred cadets to enter the cadet army hall of fame. From then on, they began to be admired by millions of people. Although many of them gave up their young lives because of this, they were able to sleep among the pines and cypresses. , in their opinion, that is the best destination for soldiers. Is there a more cost-effective deal than being able to exchange one's life for the permanent sinking of a Japanese aircraft carrier? "As long as the Yamato can be sunk, I will be the corpse." It doesn’t matter if you don’t survive.” Many students vowed that they had long ignored life and death. However, the reality is so cruel. The little devil actually came up with this method of killing the enemy by a thousand and damaging himself by eight hundred to deal with them. But they Is there any strategy to destroy the enemy? In the end, in order to preserve their strength, they can only fight and escape in despair. No, it seems that escape has become a problem now. The student aviation soldiers who have long disregarded life and death are actually not afraid of dying with the Japs, but They may not care about their young lives, but they cannot care about the expensive fighter planes they ride on. Although because of Ouyang Yun, the aviation manual of the Xuebing Army clearly stipulates that in the event of an emergency, protect people first and then the aircraft. , but in the hearts of the heroic student aviation soldiers, they never feel that their lives are more valuable than a fighter plane, so when they encounter an emergency, even if there is only a slight possibility, they will choose to sacrifice themselves without hesitation.
On the Japanese side, when the Japanese Air Force first implemented the "Jade Broken Tactics", the vast majority of them were actually hesitant. However, the bushido spirit rooted in their hearts made them extremely susceptible to extreme emotions. Therefore, when someone The Japanese successfully flew the plane and knocked down the air fortress, completing an extremely heroic collision. The others were infected and immediately turned into red-eyed bulls, scrambling to crash into it.
Because of the importance of this air battle, at the beginning of the air battle, the top commanders of both China and Japan, Ye Zhao and Kawabe Shozo, paid great attention. Coincidentally, Kawabe was not sure whether Yamamoto Isoroku would fully help him, and Ye Zhao They were aware of the crisis, so they seemed a little uneasy at first. On the other side of the river, they were chatting with Ishihara to ease the tension. On the other hand, Ye Zhao was trying to refine the deployment of troops as much as possible, hoping to maximize the role of the ground troops. , in order to ensure that our aviation force would not lose too badly, and after Meng Caifei's exploratory attack ended in failure and the combined fleet's trump card was revealed, Ye Zhao and Hebian suddenly fell into a world of ice and fire. There are two extremes. The riverside side began to boldly mobilize troops and continue to increase troops to the south bank. Ye Zhao ordered the troops on the north bank to accelerate their advance to the depths of northern Zhejiang and Hangzhou, and at the same time prepared for the worst.
On the nameless sandy land, Captain Muranozo of the 104th Regiment received an order from the river. The little devil said to his generals led by Fujii Shouha in high spirits: "Gentlemen, the commander has sent you the latest battle report of the air battle. Our Imperial Army's aviation force has achieved comprehensive superiority and is now pursuing the Chinese aviation force. Gentlemen, do you know what this means?"
Fujii moved his feet closer and said respectfully: "Sir, I think this means that our army will gain air control over Xiaoshan."
"Xinxi, once the air control is controlled by our army, the heavy artillery force, which the Chinese rely on most, will no longer be a threat. Gentlemen, I will now convey the order of the commander of the river." Murano unfolded the telegram sent from the river. When he was about to read out, he suddenly heard the roar of a fighter plane's engine. He looked up following the sound, grinned immediately, pointed his finger and said: "Look, gentlemen, the Chinese fighter plane is being chased by our imperial army like a lost dog."
The Japs looked up, and many of them who saw the Sky Fortress for the first time couldn't help but be surprised: "What a big fighter plane."
"This is the long-range bomber of the Xuebing Army. It's called Sky Fortress. Haha, the Chinese people are too stupid to choose any name. They insist on naming it Sky Fortress." Murano laughed and said,
In fact, he only said half a sentence. Immediately, a Japanese soldier joined in and asked, "Your Majesty, Colonel, do you have any explanation for this?"
Murano laughed twice again and said arrogantly: "What are the characteristics of fortresses? They are big and clumsy. Please see, these aerial fortresses are just slow-moving targets for our fighter planes. And It’s very big.”
Murano's description was quite vivid at least at the moment. The Japs started laughing, not realizing that these air fortresses were actually specially sent to send them to see Amaterasu.
