This operation of the Japanese army was obviously carefully planned. What Ouyang Yun and others did not know was that in the cockpit of the Mitsubishi Type 96 land attack aircraft numbered 317, as the person in charge of this operation,
Colonel Shimada Ichiro was issuing combat orders on this map of Xi'an pasted in front of the cab.
On that map, eight air strike targets were marked out according to three levels. Among them, the airport was placed as the fifth target as a secondary target. The first four targets were all places where Chiang Kai-shek was most likely to stay, and the airport
The reason why it is placed in the fifth place is that if the air strike plan fails to work, as long as the airport is destroyed, Chiang Kai-shek will be trapped near Xi'an, so that he can carry out two or even three air strikes.
The fighter planes dispatched by the Japanese army are all Type 96s. What is different from history is that this bomber, which has just entered service this year, has adopted some new technologies, so both its range and bomb load have been improved.
It can carry 1,800 kilograms of ammunition at one time, and is equipped with two 7.5mm machine guns, each machine gun is equipped with 500 rounds of bullets.
The first four targets, six fighter planes completed the bombing of the main buildings, and then, the two fighter planes roared towards the airport,
From a distance, Shimada saw a huge fighter plane rising into the sky below. He immediately realized that Chiang Kai-shek might be trying to escape, so he immediately called for all the fighter planes and flew towards the airport at full speed.
"Commander, the Japs have discovered us." Seeing twelve Japanese planes flying in one after another, Lieutenant Commander Tielin Fei was a little panicked and shouted to Ouyang Yun on the intercom,
Ouyang Yun saw a Japanese plane through the porthole window. He said calmly: "Pull forward at full speed and try to avoid fighting."
"Yes." Tie Linfei started to press the accelerator to the bottom. At this time, the plane suddenly became bumpy because of the acceleration. Ouyang Yun asked everyone to sit down and hold on to the handrail in front. Then he looked at the old man
Jiang, seeing that the latter's face had turned pale, was amused in his heart, and said: "Chairman, our fighter plane was just imported from the United States. It is the most advanced fighter plane in the world today, and its performance is very stable.
Don’t worry.”
Lao Jiang nodded to him and said with a smile: "No, it's okay. You, you let the pilots fly boldly."
After this L-19 was modified, except that it could not drop bombs, the eight cannons were retained. Of these eight cannons, except for the four on the wings that used automatic control, the four in the cockpit and tail compartment
They are all manually controlled. In addition, two 16-unit rocket pods are installed at the junction of the wing and fuselage.
The L-19's cruising speed is relatively high, and its ceiling is far higher than that of fighters at the same time, but its acceleration is very slow. At this moment, although Tielin Fei accelerated with all his strength, he still failed to add fighters to safety in the first time.
Height, seeing that the two Japanese planes flying at the front were almost within range, Tielin Fei did not dare to continue to raise the plane for safety reasons. Instead, he pressed the nose of the plane slightly and issued a combat order at the same time.
On the ground, they saw twelve fighter planes forming a fan shape and outflanking the Xue Bing Army fighter plane. Although his own life was not in danger, Yang Hucheng and others could not help but sweat, and many of them even got their vests wet.
It’s so clear that you don’t know,
"Military officer, if I had known this, I shouldn't have listened to that brat Ouyang Yun. He's so young, there's no place to hide." A major general of the Northwest Army said this,
Yang Hucheng frowned: "Now is not the time to say these words. Things have reached this point. We can only take one step at a time." After looking at the man, he continued: "No matter what the result is, Ouyang Yun only has merit. However, you should remember this, if anything happens to him, if Xuebingjun has any request in the future, even if I am no longer here, I hope you can do your best to help."
"Sir, I was just joking, ah, I hit an enemy plane, ah, they were also hit."
In the air, the battle has begun,
Undoubtedly, after several battles over Jicha, Tielinfei had accumulated considerable experience in air battles, so he did not just escape blindly but chose the best time to turn the plane upside down, and then kept Ascending at a constant speed, he faced the two enemy planes at the front.
Historically, in order to adapt to high-altitude flight, the cockpits of heavy bombers like this were air-sealed to ensure that the crew's breathing was not affected at high altitudes. However, after Xuebingjun changed it into a passenger aircraft, all The passenger cabins were all opened and sealed. In this way, Ouyang Yun could smoothly enter the cockpit and personally control the two cannons located under the cockpit.
"Commander, why are you here? It's dangerous here."
In face-to-face air combat, sitting in the cockpit and facing the enemy aircraft is indeed the most dangerous, because once the enemy takes aim and fires, there is no place to dodge.
"Don't worry, I won't affect your command. Now, I'm your machine gunner. You just give orders."
"Then, what do I do?" The person who said this was the original machine gunner.
"You go sit in the back and be my substitute."
"Isn't this bad?"
"Execute the order."
"yes."
The original gunner withdrew. Tie Linfei glanced at Ouyang Yun with a very dissatisfied expression and said, "Commander, you are abusing your authority."
Ouyang Yun smiled: "Don't worry, my shooting level will not be worse than his, ah, there is a chance." After saying that, he had pressed the launch button, and then, he only heard "chuchuchu" and the fuselage's second lieutenant trembled. The two cannons under the nose of the plane spit out long tongues of flame at the same time.
Ordinary artillery shells mixed with tracer bullets pulled out two long rays of light in the air. A few seconds later, the left one of the two enemy planes on the opposite side was suddenly hit by the ray of light, emitting a violent explosion. In the fire, the pilot was directly killed. The out-of-control fighter jet immediately slid downwards, dragging thick smoke and roaring.
"I hit it." Ouyang Yun shouted excitedly, but after a few minutes, he couldn't scream anymore. The enemy plane on the right also opened fire, and several rounds of bullets hit the belly of the fighter plane. Although they knew that the armor of this fighter plane could deal with such bullets without any problem, everyone on the plane was still alarmed by the "loud noise". Everyone was frightened and didn't know if the plane was injured.
The pilot of that enemy plane was quite fierce. Seeing that the bullets had no effect, he actually drove the fighter plane straight into it.
Both sides were flying at high speed, and were originally only about 700 meters apart. At such a distance, one side deliberately caused an "aircraft accident", and the other side had almost no time to dodge. However, Tielin Fei's flying skills were quite good, plus The performance of this fighter plane is indeed a bit more advanced. Tielin Fei pulled up the nose of the plane fiercely and turned to the right at the same time. It was like a martial arts master performing the "Great Shift of the World", which stunned the fighter plane from its original position. She pulled away and avoided this fatal collision,
From the perspective of the air, although the enemy plane was quite desperate and rushed over at the fastest speed, from the perspective of everyone in the cockpit, the two sides still passed by with a distance of no less than ten meters. Such a distance, It is used for formation performances. In fact, there is no danger at all. As long as they fly for a long time, ordinary pilots can complete this kind of performance. However, from the ground, the two fighter planes seemed to be rubbing their bellies and flying past each other, as if they had been intimate. The same contact made everyone, including the major general who made the sarcastic remarks, break into a cold sweat.
The two planes passed by each other without any danger. The enemy plane accelerated too fast and spared no effort. Therefore, after it overran, it could no longer pull up. The plane was like a bird with broken wings, and it flew into the air. He spun and fell down. First he broke out in a cold sweat on the ground, and then he shouted, whether it was from the Northwest Army or the Northeast Army, many people cheered and shouted: "It's really awesome. Come on, who is that pilot in the Xuebing Army? What’s the ace?"
"Damn, it's dangerous." Although the distance between the two sides is still relatively safe, everyone in the cockpit broke into a cold sweat. The first thing many people did when they woke up was to curse, that Japanese plane was facing them. The moment before the collision, a mountain-like shadow pressed against everyone. Even though he was as steady as Tielin Fei, he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead and veins on his face.
After finally escaping, Ouyang Yun exhaled heavily and shouted: "Damn it, I'm going to go on a killing spree today. Lin Fei, take control of the direction and keep the distance. We have machine guns and rockets." , the little devil’s machine gun has a lower range than ours, so they bully and bully them.”
Ouyang Yun's words sound reasonable, but it is not easy to implement. The simple truth is that in the air, when both sides are flying, the two to three hundred meters more range of the cannon than the machine gun is almost negligible. The range of rockets is far enough, but the accuracy of air-to-air shooting is difficult to control. The rockets used by the Xuebing Army at this stage all use sub-munitions as warheads. However, because of their limited size, they cannot be like "giant fireworks". "In that way, a large area of airspace can be covered with one launch. In this case, the real purpose of the two rocket pods is actually to protect themselves at critical moments.
"It's a fighter plane from the Xuebing Army." As soon as the two sides came into contact, our side lost two fighters. Moreover, the opponent's fighter plane was so huge that Shimada couldn't help but frown. What are the Chinese? Now we have such an advanced fighter plane, why have we never heard of it? When he saw the eye-catching cadet army logo on the fuselage, Shimada was irritated and said, "Well done, Battler Yelu, for seizing the opportunity to carry out a special attack." , although it was not successful, it has succeeded in holding back the Chinese. Next, let us make our statement for the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor." He said this, facing the wingman who was leaning closely next to him. He made a gesture for a special attack, and then rushed forward immediately,
