Of the three air fortresses left to serve as interceptors, the LZ-II piloted by Xue Changkong was the most advanced. This improved version not only had more electronic equipment than the LZ-I with a radar warning system, but also had four rockets installed on the wings. transmitter,
The design requirement of LZ-II is that it will be able to carry out combat missions in Japan at some point in the future. This requires that it not only has long-range assault capabilities, but also has self-protection capabilities. During World War II, due to the needs of the war, aircraft technology Development is rapid, so although fighter aircraft of this type such as the Sky Fortress still maintain a far leading technological advantage at this time, as time goes by, it is estimated that it will not be long before needle-type fighters appear in various countries around the world. ,At this time, the strength of the air fortress’s ,self-protection ability is very important.
Tie Linfei left a message, "Brothers, take care," and then accelerated away with most of the fighters. The three remaining fighters, under the command of Xue Changkong, rushed towards the incoming Japanese planes.
"Keep your distance, 127, your altitude is about 12,000 meters, 105, your altitude is 11,000 meters, understand, Xiao Du, fire at the enemy planes and attract them."
Flying fortress cluster penetration is one of the training projects of the Air Force of the Xuebing Army.
The size of the Sky Fortress is really too big. Compared with ordinary fighter jets, it is the difference between an elephant and a wolf. Night battles are obviously more disadvantageous for the huge Sky Fortress. Night battles, for modern fighter planes, luck accounts for the most part. A very important factor. What the Japanese ground searchlights can provide is actually just giving the pilots a sense of height above the ground. To hit the opponent, it ultimately depends on the pilots' eyes and ears.
In order to distinguish friendly and enemy forces, lights must be turned on on fighter planes. The difference is that Japanese aircraft basically have a single light, with a small power light on the tail of the aircraft, while the Sky Fortress has lights on both wings of the aircraft. There is a light at the end of the sky. Today's weather is cloudy. Well, clouds in the sky have become another type of weapon in this air battle to a certain extent. As for their position, it depends on everyone's luck.
Among all the fighters, the one driven by Xue Changkong has a pair of night vision eyes because of its radar screen. To a certain extent, he is the only one who can take full control of the initiative and even change the outcome of this air battle.
The Aerial Fortress is large in size, and the range of the mounted cannon is about a thousand meters. Therefore, how to avoid injuring one's own people in air combat has become a topic. The Aerial Fortress cluster penetration training is how to avoid this in combat situations. This situation occurs and can maximize the firepower advantage of the fleet,
The height difference between each of the three air fortresses is one thousand meters, and the distance between them is about 1,500 meters. They are under the unified command of a lead aircraft, which avoids accidental damage to the greatest extent.
Xue Changkong's fighter plane maintained an altitude of 13,000 meters. At this altitude, he could firmly grasp the battlefield situation, provide information to the two wingmen, and help them kill the enemy.
The structure of the Sky Fortress is unmatched by the Type 99 fighter. Although the Type 99 is the latest fighter aircraft of the Japanese and has high hopes, it was only when Hirota Yuzhi drove it to chase Xue Changkong's plane that he felt this The distance between ideal and reality is so huge. When the fighter plane climbed to 10,000 meters, it began to shake violently. When it climbed to 11,000 meters, it not only shook, but he even heard shearing in the steel structure. The "squeaking" sound is made only when
That was all, and what made him even more unbearable was that the Type 99 did not have the pressurized cabin function of the Sky Fortress, which meant that its protection from the cold and warmth could only be solved by wearing more clothes. However, at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters, it It's a spring night, no matter how much you wear, it's of no use, the biting cold can almost freeze people to death.
Thinking that they only need to climb to this altitude occasionally to perform missions, but the enemy's aviation troops of the student army cruise at this altitude for a long time, how do they keep warm? They must have mastered some new technology to help the aviation troops not Afraid of being in this cold temperature for a long time, Hirota Yuzhi became more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it: "Why is this happening? Haven't the scientists of the Empire always said that the level of aviation technology in the Empire is far ahead of the world? But..." From the beginning Chen Xiaobing was so passionate when he took off that he was so frustrated now. Chen Xiaobing, who realized the huge gap between the two sides, didn't realize that he had made a mistake at this time. The enemy was not just a target to be beaten passively. They were once Who are the elite aviation soldiers who sank the "Akagi" and the "Flying Dragon" aircraft carrier?
The commander of the Little Devil Air Force was still confused and uneasy even though he was flying the most advanced fighter plane in his country. In contrast, Xue Changkong behaved confidently.
The reason why he took the initiative to stay was because he wanted to go on a killing spree, "Damn it, what do you think the little devils think of us, the Air Force? Cats and dogs dare to come here and show their teeth. I'm going to give you one today." A painful lesson." He thought in his mind, squinting his eyes and staring at the screen. Suddenly, he shouted loudly: "105, there is an enemy plane behind you at the same height as you, shoot."
"127, fire in all directions, yes, that's right, good, it sinks well, 105, who fired the gun, you pig, you can't even hit it at such a close range."
"127, bring it back to the original height. You all need to slow down. I'm going to launch a rocket. Yes, it's going backwards."
Those selected to fly the twelve latest Type 99 fighter jets are all the elites of the Japanese aviation force.
Because the goal set before departure was to intercept all enemy planes and fight as many as possible, they began to chase Tielin Fei’s plane almost in unison. However, what they did not expect was that because of the technical gap , as soon as people speed up, they actually
Jumped away,
It doesn't matter if the first one escapes, there are many more. However, just as they were preparing to attack head-on, three enemy planes came to the door on their own initiative, and one of them actually opened fire on them first.
"Ba Ge, arrogant Chinese people, today, I want to show you the power of the Imperial Japanese Air Force." The person who shouted this sentence relied on a clever turn to avoid Xiao Du's first round of shooting. The Japanese pilot Kazuo Taisa who piloted the Japanese plane numbered 1934,
Kazuo Taisa is so arrogant and has the capital, because he once shot down two Chinese fighter planes in the Shanghai Hongqiao air battle and was promoted to an ace pilot.
Xiao Du is the shooter of the belly gun pod of Xue Changkong's aircraft. Xiao Du just followed the captain's order and fired the gun indiscriminately. He did not realize that this gave Kazuo Taisa the opportunity to inflate his self-confidence.
Xue Changkong squinted and stared at the display screen, while simultaneously calculating the three possible fighter planes for the Sky Fortress, he felt sorry for his current status. As a fighter pilot, he was used to personally shooting down enemy planes, so, He was very uncomfortable with this "new" profession where he could only sit in the cab and act as a pure pilot.
In the thick black night sky, floating clouds will annihilate the marking lights on the fighter planes. This is undoubtedly very beneficial to Xue Changkong and the others, because with the existence of radar eyes, those lights are just an auxiliary for them to judge the location of the enemy aircraft. ,
Xue Changkong flew at the front and naturally became the first target of many Japanese fighter planes.
The appearance of this fighter plane caused them to lose the opportunity to intercept the entire fleet. Originally, there were more than a dozen fighter planes that could be their meritorious service, but now they suddenly had three. The leader of the plane that ruined their good deeds naturally became the best way to vent their anger. main goal,
"The little devil's fighter plane is not good. The climbing speed is too slow." Flying towards your gun position."
Xiao Wang was controlling the cannon on the left wing and the two rocket pods one behind the other. Hearing this, he moved his head closer to the observation port and took a look. He only saw thick clouds outside. He couldn't help grinning and thinking to himself. : It would be nice to install a radar display screen in front of me sometime. I feel very unhappy about this slander.
Among the two stupid birds that Xue Changkong talked about, there was the one piloted by Kazuo Taizuo. Kazuo Taizu was smart and found that it was impossible to catch up with the plane above by climbing vertically, and it might be caught by the belly cannon pod of the aircraft. He was reimbursed first, so after dodging a round of shooting, he immediately jumped forward, then calculated the distance, climbed up from the front, and then approached the target.
The creaking feeling of the fighter plane's fuselage was really bad. He pulled it up to about 12,500 altitude and didn't dare to pull it up any more. The biggest difference between the Type 99 fighter plane and other series of Japanese fighter planes was that its weapons changed. It became a machine gun, and there were three of them.
Taizu Kazuo thought about it and hit the China fighter head-on with the two cannons on the left and right wings, then turned around and continued bombarding with the cannon on the tail of the plane while escaping.
"Heroes see the same thing." Another person who had the same idea as Kazuo Taisa was Yushi Hirota. Based on the formation of the three enemy planes, Yushi Hirota judged that the one driven by Xue Changkong was the leader. He wanted to capture the thief first. To capture the king, of course, if he knew that Xue Changkong was originally worried that he might not have a chance to reap the victory because he flew too high, I believe he would make a new choice.
Interestingly, as an aircraft fan whose hobby is studying fighter aircraft from various countries, Yushi Hirota conducted in-depth research on the Sky Fortress after it came out. Through research, he came to the conclusion that the most advanced part of the Sky Fortress is: It lies in the rocket pods attached to its wings. The existence of the rocket pods allows it to fish in troubled waters when facing superior enemy aircraft, and maybe it can turn the tide of the battle in one fell swoop.
He had carefully recorded this conclusion, but at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten,
