"Empty, empty, empty", the Japanese air defense forces around the Cebu Airport began to fire. More than fifty anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns weaved a fire net. A Chinese sturgeon was hit after being unable to avoid it, and then lost control and was dragged. With a harsh whistling sound, it hit the Philippine Expeditionary Army barracks on one side.
The headquarters of the Philippine Expeditionary Force is only a little more than two kilometers away from the Cebu Airport. This allows Masaharu Honma, who is standing on the wooden building, to clearly see the air battle taking place over the airport, and even see tiger sharks and Chinese sturgeons. The dropped bombs turned the airport into a sea of fire. After the runway was bombed, the apron, hangar, aviation building, oil depot, and ammunition depot were all bombed. Mushroom clouds rose up and then connected into one. After the Tiger Shark and Chinese Sturgeon light bombs were lifted up and returned to their destinations, the explosion occurred. A dazzling fireball suddenly flashed out. Honma's eyes were overwhelmed and had to close them. Immediately, an earth-shattering sound rang in his ears. The explosion sounded dozens of times in succession. After the explosion, he opened his eyes and looked over. What he saw was a raging flame that was more than ten times stronger than before. He knew that this was an explosion in the oil depot and ammunition depot. Honma's heart was bleeding. He knew that after this battle, not only was the 11th Aviation Division finished, but his military career was also over. Just now, he was still dreaming of becoming the supreme commander of the Japanese army in Southeast Asia. , and now he discovered that the feeling after waking up from the dream was so bad, it was almost the same as killing him directly.
Kawada listened to the explosion and felt the heat wave coming from below. The little devil knew that Cebu Airport was over, the First Air Force was over, and his future was over. Just a few hours ago, because of Honma's order, Kawada was still there. Elaborately planning how to organize to achieve a complete victory in sinking all the aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet. Because of this idea, everything happening now is particularly ironic to him. The Xuebing Army Air Force has achieved too many brilliant achievements in the war against Japan. The results of the battle not only brought considerable psychological pressure to the middle and senior commanders of the Japanese aviation force, but also made them more and more eager to defeat the opponent openly in frontal combat. For Kawada, defeat is no longer a problem. , but to avenge shame, "Eight grids." The little devil hissed, aiming at a Tiger Shark that was climbing after stealing the bomb, and rushed over. There were four more Tiger Sharks climbing directly in front of this Tiger Shark. During the process, they were all about to return after dropping their bombs. Kawada rushed over at this time. Not only could he get rid of the passive situation of being stared at by several Baijis, but he was also likely to create chaos, which might allow the HNA cadets to escape. Make a mistake,
The air raid against Cebu Airport has been considered a success so far. Of course, this is compared to Feng Aokong. In his opinion, more than a hundred Japanese aircraft were destroyed on the runway, apron and inside the hangar. , and completely destroyed everything at the Cebu Airport, and the loss of two fighter planes was fully explained in the past, but in the eyes of Zhang Chuncai, the commander of the Baiji Dolphin, this victory was at least not a complete victory, because there were still two Zero Fighters at large, no, Not on the run, but fighting stubbornly. Zhang Chuncai had been eyeing the Zero Fighter piloted by Kawada from the beginning. However, his interception operation was not successful. Not only was he repeatedly thrown away by Kawada, but he also shot down a Baiji Dolphin in a sneak attack. , This made Zhang Chuncai very angry. He felt that he had lost face and had seen through Kawada's intentions. He was furious and shouted on the intercom: "Mom, please get out of the way. I'm going to use a new weapon."
What is a new weapon? An air-to-air missile. This air-to-air missile named "Tianlei KKII" is the only air-to-air missile in the Tianlei series of missile products developed by Xuebing Research and Development Institute after more than three years of research. , the effective range of this type of missile is about fifteen kilometers. It was originally an air combat weapon specially prepared for the Golden Eagle. However, considering that the Golden Eagle has not yet formed combat capabilities, from the perspective of verifying its combat effectiveness, the Xuebing R&D Center acquired After Ouyang Yun agreed, he successively provided about twenty missiles to several aviation regiments that frequently fought. The missiles were used in air combat. The advantage was that they could preemptively strike beyond visual range. Therefore, it was necessary to equip them with airborne radars, but the Baiji Dolphin was modified. , Pretending to be an airborne radar is not a simple job, so although the Pacific Aviation Corps was lucky enough to be assigned five "Tianlei KKII" missiles, in the end only two Baijis were improved and upgraded and capable of carrying them. The one driven by Zhang Chuncai Baiji dolphin happens to be one of them,
"Tianlei KKII" uses infrared guidance. Due to the characteristics of infrared guidance, it can only perform rear-end launch at this stage, using the heat emitted by the target aircraft engine as the guidance source for the missile's homing system.
It has been some time since the five "Tianlei KKII" missiles have been delivered to Karachi, but this is the first time they will be put into actual combat. Everyone, including Feng Aokong, a HNA student, is full of curiosity about this new weapon. Hearing Zhang Chuncai's roar , everyone pulled the fighter plane away from the battlefield in unison, giving Zhang Chuncai room to play, and at the same time preventing his own phone from becoming a source of interference, or even becoming an unfortunate target.
The tiger sharks and Chinese sturgeons that dropped light bombs were able to maintain a high speed and air limit. Although it was not enough to completely get rid of the zero battle, it was enough to bankrupt Kawada's plan to fish in troubled waters.
At this time, another Zero Fighter was finally shot down under the siege of six Whitebacks. Among the fighter planes still flying in this airspace, only the lone Zero Fighter piloted by Kawada was left. All the white-tip dolphins scattered, leaving only one white-tip dolphin behind him. Kawada quickly noticed it, and thought he understood what Zhang Chuncai meant, thinking that Zhang Chuncai wanted to fight him one by one, which made him feel angry. He became full of fighting spirit and sneered in his heart: The Chinese want to challenge me, well, I will give him a chance to shoot him down in front of so many Chinese, and also give the arrogant Chinese a warning. In terms of air combat technology, our Imperial Japanese Army is far superior to their cadet army. "China people, if you want to fight, come and fight. I will make you regret this decision." He didn't care whether Zhang Chuncai heard it or not. , roaring and flying the plane to perform a beautiful roll maneuver, trying to get behind Zhang Chuncai,
Masaharu Honma saw this scene clearly through the telescope. Tears welled up in his eyes. He recognized Kawada's landline, and from this he concluded that Kawada was preparing to use his personal bravery to defend the dignity of the Imperial Army of Japan. Well, this is the commendable samurai spirit, which is the foundation on which the Imperial Japanese Army relies. He couldn't help but tighten his hand holding the telescope. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to hope that Kawada could destroy the dead with his strength. The potential to shoot down the Chinese fighter plane made the officers and soldiers of the Philippine Expeditionary Force who were watching the air battle feel the pride of the imperial army. In this way, the impact of this Chinese air raid on the morale of the troops will be minimized.
