Zhang Xiaolin ordered Lan Sheng and others to do their own thing. This did not mean that they would let go of the defense and allow the Americans to attack. Compared with the American copycat version of the Golden Eagle, the improved Aerial Fortress's defensive capabilities are still quite strong. The Aerial Fortress's standard weapon is Four 30mm caliber aircraft cannons and two 13.5mm caliber general-purpose machine guns plus two rocket pods. After improvements, the four cannons and two general-purpose machine guns remained intact. The rocket pod was replaced with a tactical pod.
This change to the Flying Fortress was initially strongly questioned by many people, especially some former Air Force officers from the Central Army. The power of rockets has long been famous at home and abroad after many wars, and is in the eyes of many people. , the biggest reason why the Aerial Fortress can be called a fortress is not because of its super huge body, but because of its terrifying defensive firepower. Now, the improvements actually have to give up the biggest reliance on the Aerial Fortress, which is natural Not accepted by them.
Special training subject No. 113 is one of the newly added training subjects after this improvement. Because the instructor took this subject out for public display during the training, Zhang Yugen lost his face in front of all his comrades. , Naturally, Zhang Yugen was deeply impressed by it.
Thinking of Special Training Course No. 113, he thought of the perverted instructor, and a desire for expression arose in his heart. He temporarily handed over the control of the fighter plane to the co-pilot. Zhang Yugen turned on the flashlight and pulled the tactical control panel from under the main control panel. Come out, attach the flashlight to the tactical helmet, and start looking for the corresponding button while recalling.
At this time, the American Mustang fighter jet that was rushing toward him had already started shooting. From a distance of about 2,300 meters, a string of fire shot from the "empty, empty, empty..." sound from the Mustang. Shoot towards Zhang Yugen's flying fortress.
"The Americans opened fire," the co-pilot Wang Minghao shouted.
"Don't worry, they are not close enough to hit us." Zhang Yugen said, pressing the yellow button marked "Smoke grenade launch button". Immediately, he only heard a few "duh" sounds. There was a crisp sound, and then clouds of smoke suddenly exploded around the fighter plane. The smoke grew with the wind, and soon completely enveloped the fighter plane.
"Quickly, descend, descend at a constant speed." Zhang Yugen called to the co-pilot.
"Boom." Suddenly there was an explosion on the fuselage of the fighter plane. It was obvious that it was hit by an aircraft cannon shell from a US fighter plane.
"There is smoke everywhere, and now we can't fight back at all." The machine gunner on the left wing suddenly complained.
"The smoke is only temporary. Put on your tactical sunglasses. It's best to close your eyes. Blinding bombs and stun bombs are going to be fired below. 104 calls Typhoon No. 1. Typhoon No. 1. 104 requests to launch Special Forces No. 4. Attack, Typhoon No. 1, 104 requested to launch special attack No. 4, attack direction, directly in front of the aircraft group and to the left and right, completed."
"No. 1 received, No. 1 ordered, No. 104 suspended action, No. 1 called 102, 103, 105, 106... Please answer if you hear it, over."
At this time, the US aircraft carrier formation had stopped advancing. Under the command of Li Mei, the Americans first released as many fighter planes as possible, and at the same time, they moved as close to each other as possible to increase the density of anti-aircraft firepower.
Under the illumination of high-power searchlights, although the flying height of China's flying fortress fleet generally exceeds the optimal illumination distance of the searchlights, Li Mei and others can still clearly see the details of the battle between the two sides through telescopes.
The nearby Mustang started shooting from a distance of two thousand meters, and at this distance, China's air fortress was indeed unscathed. "Lock it with artillery fire, and then quickly approach it." Li Mei shouted in her heart, as if she heard it Li Mei listened to his wishes, and the Mustang did exactly that. The pilots under his command were able to communicate with him, which naturally made Li Mei feel good. And he was looking forward to the wonderful scene of the Chinese aerial fortress being beaten and disintegrating in the air. , Suddenly, the Chinese Sky Fortress began to emit white smoke from its left wing and then its right wing. However, in just a few seconds, it actually fell into the smoke and lost its trace.
"Good, one of the Chinese flying fortresses was hit by our plane and it should be burning violently now." Beside Li Mei, a US major said happily.
Li Mei put down the telescope and stared at the smoke with her naked eyes. She was wondering what the Chinese were doing. Suddenly, there were several more smoke next to the smoke. Then the smoke connected into one and turned into a It looks like a huge cloud.
"I understand, smoke bombs are just a trick. Order our pilots to immediately form a formation to attack the smoke created by the Chinese. What? We are worried about an accidental collision. What's wrong with an accidental collision? The cost of building an air fortress is as much as one of our Mustangs. Five times that. If anyone can really knock down a flying fortress, tell him that I can at least apply for an Air Medal for him."
"General, the smoke created by the Chinese fighter planes is sinking rapidly. We suspect that this is caused by their fighter planes sinking rapidly. Look, do you want our fighters to lower their altitude? Ah, the Chinese have dropped bombs. , artillery, fire immediately."
More American fighter planes pounced on China's Aerial Fortress, but the battle was not as one-sided as they imagined. It is true that the Aerial Fortress is much worse than the Mustang (copycat version of the Golden Eagle) in terms of flexibility. However, because they have the strongest protection and the most weapons among the fighter aircraft family in the world today, it is always difficult for the Americans to find the best angle of attack, and often the result of their forced attack is to cause a little damage to the target air fortress at most. It's just a skin injury.
"What is that?" Next to Li Mei, a staff officer asked as he pointed at something that fell out of the smoke. Li Mei picked up the telescope and looked at it, and saw a cylinder that was only the size of a small fire extinguisher attached to a small parachute.
"Could it be a poison gas bomb?" a second lieutenant staff member said softly.
These words made Li Mei's heart tighten immediately, but before he had time to think about it, a loud noise suddenly came from the sky, and then he heard someone cheering: "Oh, my God, God bless, 1513 is really That's great." But it was a Flying Fortress that had its right wing broken off by a Mustang numbered 1513. After losing its balance, it exploded and fell to the ocean.
"That's it." Li Mei also became excited, clenched her fists and shouted softly.
"General, it seems we can defeat the Chinese." A soldier shouted to him.
Li Mei was responding with a smile when she saw a staff officer rushing out from behind the soldier and shouted: "General.
Our radio suddenly lost contact with Major Hughes and other ships. General, we suspect that the Chinese have destroyed our radio communication system."
