Chapter 79: The Flesh Mill (2)
"Oh shit!"
Hattori Fuda's eyes were red and he stared at the Tang army fighter planes that were leaving, cursing. When he saw that the huge rock had been knocked out of countless deep pits the size of a washbasin, his face changed drastically.
"What kind of bullet is this? It has such great power?"
The staff officer on the side also said with lingering fear: "According to the information we have, the ones who attacked us just now should be the Tang army's Raptor heavy carrier-based fighter and Hellfire heavy carrier-based bomber. It is said that the Raptor ship battle was equipped with four 20mm caliber machine guns, which were indeed very powerful!"
Hattori Kota suddenly shivered and blurted out: "No wonder when he saw a few soldiers who had not had time to hide were swept by the cannon, the body of a living person was torn to pieces, which was three more terrifying than the five horses' dismemberment."
The staff officer sighed and said, "From this perspective, our plane is probably not a match for the Tang Army aircraft. As far as I know, our fighter aircraft aircraft engines have not been standard, so they can only be purchased from abroad. In order to save costs, our plane had to reduce the thickness of the metal skin and the caliber of the onboard weapons. It seems that it is still a 7.7mm machine gun, which is a much weaker power at once."
Hattori Kota was in a very bad mood and snorted coldly: "That's their aviation team's business. We are suffering a heavy blow now, and we just happened to put the shit that failed to fight on the air team's head."
At this time, the statistics of casualties and losses had been released. The 11th Brigade had more than 2,300 casualties, all vehicles were destroyed, and the 36 artillery pieces of the artillery corps were not spared, and there was only a few supplies and ammunition left, which could not support a base of combat consumption, which could be said to have heavy losses.
Hattori Fukuda's face twitched violently again, and he struggled to send a message to the base camp for help.
Just as Hattori Kota's 11th Brigade was bombed by the first wave of Tang army aircraft groups, a large-scale air battle broke out over Chashan, with more than 300 Japanese fighters and bombers coming to the air, of which more than 150 Nakajima-IV fighters and fifty Type 96 fighters broke out in fierce battles with more than 100 Raptor ships of the Tang army.
The Japanese Type 96 fighter jets were only equipped last year. They were originally planned to start large-scale equipment in 1936. However, the relationship between Tang and Japan continued to be tense. After the alliance between Japan and France, the Japanese military believed that the local Siling Heavy Industry R&D speed was too slow and the Nakajima Aviation engine was not fast enough. The Japanese military could not wait. It had long been a big deal for the Tang Dynasty in terms of fighter jets, which made the Japanese army crazy. Therefore, the Type 96 fighter jets gave up the Nakajima engine R&D project and used the French CBD1000 star engine.
As a result, the performance of the Type 96 fighter has been greatly improved, and it is no less than that of the Tang army's Hellfire Heavy Carrier-based fighter in terms of speed and range. However, because the Japanese economy has long been destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and the finances are tight, the Japanese army's funds for the production of Type 96 fighter jets are slightly weak. In the end, the Japanese army had to lose weight and only carried 4 7.7mm machine guns.
The four 7.7mm machine guns of the Japanese Type 96 fighter jets fought against the four 20mm caliber guns of the Tang Army Hellfire carrier-based fighter jets. The firepower was a big difference. When the speeds of the two sides were similar at medium and low altitudes, the Type 96 fighter jets were obviously suffering a great loss because its 7.7mm bullets could not penetrate the armor protection of the Raptor ship battles at all. Conversely, the 20mm cannon of the Tang Army's Raptor ship battles could easily shoot through the armor protection of the Type 96 fighter jets and cause severe damage.
Tattata!
A Raptor of Prey was locked in a Japanese Type 96 fighter jet, and then fired violently. Four flames blocked the place where the opponent was about to fly past the next moment, and one of the flames hit the vital point of the Japanese fuel tank.
boom!
The Japanese Type 96 fighter jet exploded in the air, turning into a ball of fire, and the wreckage of the plane fell to Chashan. The Japanese pilot also fell freely from a height of thousands of meters. He was on fire and let out a cautious howl of ghosts and wolves.
After ten minutes of fighting, the Japanese aviation team had lost more than 30 fighters. However, most of them were Mid-Israeli fighters that were in service before, and no new Type 96 fighters were lost.
A few years ago, the Tang army's Hellfire was a one-sided massacre of Japanese planes, and the sky must have been filled with Japanese lightnings falling. Now that the Japanese army has Type 96 fighter jets, the situation has changed a little, but it is not so easy for the Tang army plane to shoot them down.
Fortunately, the Type 96 aircraft had just begun to serve the Japanese air force, and the number was not very large. In Taiwan, there were only about fifty aircraft. The Tang army aircraft carrier battle group was equipped with more than 200 Raptor ships, which were divided into several waves to take turns to fight. It soon seized air supremacy and severely damaged the Japanese air force.
The Japanese Nakajima bomber, who followed the Japanese fighter group, saw that the situation was not good, hurriedly dropped the aviation bomb and returned. As a result, most of the bombs failed to land on the Tang army's positions and did not cause much damage to the Tang army.
