One hundred and twenty-five dead in battle (big chapter(1/2)

“Bangbangbangbang…”

Ren Yunge pulled the trigger of the cannon with his fingers, and the tracer bullet pulled out the bullets and spitted red flames, and rushed towards the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft that dived at 12 o'clock in the tail of the aircraft.

The carrier-based aircraft lowered its head, turned sideways at 90 degrees, easily avoided it and then changed back, and the tracer bullets shot from the cannon passed by the air.

Ren Yunge did not dare to let Style 96 force it too close, and the fire distance was a bit far.

Compared with bombers, the maneuverability of the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft is too strong. Once it gets close, it flips around to avoid maneuvering, which will cause the bomber machine gunner to lose its target and instantly change from active fire to passive fire.

The space where the rear machine gunner is located is very small. Although the cannon turret can rotate 180 degrees, aiming at fighters that fly quickly and quickly at close range is not easy.

The main task of the tail machine gunner is to use powerful cannon fire to prevent enemy aircraft from approaching the tail and wait for their side to wait for the interceptor to come for support.

It is very difficult for a bomber to kill fast and agile fighter jets.

It is even more difficult for a tail gunner to shoot down a trailing enemy plane.

But it is relatively easier to follow the attacker and kill the bomber machine gunner.

Killing the rear machine gunner is equivalent to pinching off the bomber's minions.

Every pilot who wants to attack a bomber is the first choice for the rear-mounted machine gunner who kills the bomber.

The tail machine gunner sat in a small space, watching the bullets rushing over, and could only watch and could not dodge.

What's even more terrible is that in order to reduce the weight of the aircraft, many bombers carry more ammunition and directly remove the protective steel shields of several machine gunners. Some bombers do not have the protective steel shields of machine gunners when they leave the factory.

Henkel he111      The medium-sized bomber is just a metal shell with a head and a solid wooden board and composite material. It is fine to shelter from wind and rain, but even the cross bomb cannot resist it.

This is why the death rate of tail machine gunners in all machine gunners during World War II was shockingly high.

Due to the importance of tail defense, Henkel he111       The tail of a medium bomber is equipped with a powerful 20mm machine gun, with a range far exceeding the front machine guns of most fighter jets. It can rotate 180 degrees and cover the defense range of 12 points at the tail.

There are advantages and disadvantages.

Although the firepower of the machine cannon is fierce, it also has its major disadvantage, that is, the amount of ammunition stored is not sufficient. It only takes nine or ten seconds from pulling the trigger to shooting the bullets. Therefore, experienced machine gunners are all fired.

The amount of bullet storage for most fighter machine guns can last for twelve seconds from pulling the trigger to illuminating the bullet.

Hearing the rear machine gun fire and knowing that the enemy plane was approaching, the Falcon accelerated the dive speed. He regretted his greed for merit. He did not wait for the interceptor to come to escort and launched another dive attack on the Izumo.

On the battlefield, bombers without fighter escort are more than a dozen dangerous.

Without fighters kicking away, suppressing the space gap of the Izumo fleet, the bomber's penetration difficulties are numerous, and it is possible to be hit by ship-based artillery fire at any time.

The Falcon gritted his teeth and dived with all his might. The bomber's sharp whistle was shrill and arrogant.

However, the dive speed of the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft reached 460 kilometers, far superior to the Henkel he111                                              

When Ren Yunge's bullets were exhausted, the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft approached quickly, aimed in the fluctuations, and prepared to open fire.

Since the enemy plane was at the twelve o'clock at the tail of the plane, the machine gunner on the belly could not see the enemy plane above and could not fire and block the plane.

Without the firepower suppression of the tail gunner, the Henkel he111     a bomber is like a tiger with minions removed.

"The enemy plane is about 400 meters away from us!"

Ren Yunge, who was changing ammunition, loudly reminded Falcon that Japanese planes could open fire at any time.

His ammunition change speed was far from keeping up with the speed of enemy planes approaching. It was not that easy to replace the 20mm machine gun in a small space. Although he had undergone countless drills before, it always took time.

The Falcon gritted his teeth: "Everyone is ready, we start to dive vertically! Get rid of the bitch behind him."

At this moment, everyone felt that they were pressed back to the seat, facing down, and fell head-on.

“Everything…”

"Doduo..."

The artillery fire on destroyers and battleships surrounding the Izumo bombarded violently into the air, organizing into dense spider webs of all sizes.

At the same time, China's No. 214 Hawk3 fighter jet rushed to the 903 bomber.

Several Japanese fighter jets saw the Chinese Air Force's No. 214 interceptor climbing quickly, accelerated forward, and flew towards the direction of the No. 903 bomber. They knew that he wanted to support the No. 903 bomber, so the Japanese 117 Type 95 carrier-based aircraft closest to the Chinese No. 214 fighter jet immediately hooked back and moved 180 degrees, and instantly pointed the nose at the abdomen of the No. 214 fighter jet. However, because the distance was a little far away, the fire was not opened. While approaching quickly, the right rudder and the nose pointed directly in front of the No. 214 nose to complete the advance shooting.

The shooting of the Japanese No. 117 fighter jet was completed in advance.

Just wait for the Chinese No. 214 fighter jet to take the initiative to enter the arranged shooting position and fire immediately.

These actions were completed almost in a flash.

The quality of Japanese aviation pilots is too high. They usually have enough flight time to hone their skills. For example, in this scene just now, they have had hundreds or thousands of drills, and they are already familiar with it.

Japanese pilots in the early days of the invasion of China all had to go through more than three years of flight training.

Since Japan can build fighter jets and trainers themselves, the students have plenty of time to practice on the plane, and their flight skills are naturally excellent.

All Chinese aircraft can only be purchased, and whether they buy fighter jets or trainer jets, they are exported models, which greatly reduce their performance.

Due to Sino-Japanese relations, many countries are unwilling to offend Japan, so they refuse to sell the plane to the National Government.

A weak country has no diplomacy.

In order to reduce the wear and loss of the aircraft, the Air Force Aviation School can only shorten the pilot's flight time.

Zhou Zhihan ignored the enemy plane's advance shooting, and Hawke 3 still flew towards 903 at full speed. He had excellent eyesight and clearly saw the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft approaching quickly behind the 903 tail and was about to open fire. Now he only wanted to shoot down Type 96, chasing the No. 903 bomber. He wanted to change his life against the will of the heavens and change Ren Yunge's life.

He wanted to save the life of Ren Yunge, a hero who deliberately concealed his wife and children in his family in order to serve the motherland and to avenge the national humiliation.

“Tututu…”

The No. 117 Type 95 carrier-based aircraft fired in advance, and the tracer bomb exploded and bit the No. 214 fighter aircraft like a meteor.

Zhou Zhihan was prepared for a long time.

The right press rod to the bottom, the right rudder, the right flap is opened, and the Hawk 3 rolls rightward in the direction of the enemy plane for several consecutive 360 ​​degrees.

All viewers on both sides of the Taiwan Strait almost jumped out of their chests. China's No. 214 aircraft was sent to the other party's ballistics.

However, the tracer bomb blasted by the carrier-based aircraft No. 117 fell to nothing.

The simplest rolling maneuver was used by Zhou Zhihan to the simplest realm of the great way, and immediately broke the enemy plane's advanced shooting.

"Oh God! How did China's 214 fighter jet do it?" A foreigner who was standing in a high building in the concession with a telescope and muttered to himself as he watched the Sino-Japanese naval and air battle on the Huangpu River.

Zhou Zhihan rolled to the right and used the rolling curve to exchange for the detention time. The fighter's flat rod was changed and appeared behind the tail of the No. 117 Type 95 carrier-based aircraft.

The pilot of the Japanese fighter 117 opened fire, but found that the Chinese fighter 214 suddenly disappeared from his eyes, and the tracer bomb was thrown away. He quickly searched left and right, but the wingman's scream came from his ear: "He is on the rear of your right rear, and the nose is already pointing at you... He opened fire..."

"Swish swish swish swish..."

Zhou Zhihan pressed the launch button for two seconds, and the tracer hit the lower abdomen of the No. 117 enemy aircraft, then left rudder, left press rod, and wings pointed directly into the world, flew past the tail of the No. 117 Type 95 carrier-based aircraft, changed out, flew flat, and continued to hit the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft that bit the tail of the 903 bomber.

The Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait cheered again!

In order to assist Chinese military aircraft in the air strikes against Japanese ships, the artillery soldiers of the 88th Division and the 87th Division who desperately used artillery fire to suppress the enemy ships were also excited to see it.

Although military aircraft from both China and Japan were constantly destroyed on the river and fell to the river and on both sides, China's No. 401 and No. 214 shot down several Japanese fighter jets in succession, causing all Chinese people to exhale.

The 214 defeated an enemy plane in just a few seconds. The speed was so fast that it was hard to see this wonderful showdown process. I can only admire the exquisite skills of the pilot of the Chinese No. 214 fighter jet!

Although the Japanese carrier-based aircraft No. 117 was reminded by his companions, the tracer bomb had bit his lifeline. The fuel tank was hit and caught fire and could explode at any time. The fighter aircraft No. 117 was like a firebird toward the Huangpu River.

The pilot was forced to parachute, but his luck was too bad. During the fall, he fell into a red bullet net woven by tracer bullets. As a result, blood rain of more than ten square meters appeared in the air. His internal organs, bones, and skin were shattered and fell by the powerful rain of bullets. The parachute was beaten into a sieve and slowly drifted towards the river.

In a blink of an eye, China's No. 214 fighter jet shot down another Type 96 carrier-based aircraft, and all the Japanese pilots had not yet reacted.

Too fast.

The victory or defeat of both sides only takes a few seconds.

Moreover, China's No. 214 fighter jet did not make any gorgeous maneuvers, but he did every simple maneuver to the extreme.

A few seconds later, seeing another fighter jet on his side being shot down by China's No. 214 fighter jet, two Type 95 carrier-based aircraft rushed towards the 214 at the same time, and he would never be allowed to support the No. 903 bomber.

I have to admit that the strength of Japanese pilots is not as slutty as in the anti-Japanese drama, timid and afraid of things, and shrinks his neck when he hears the gunshot.

Zhou Zhihan was anxious and kept coming to intercept him. He could only face the battle. In this melee air, if he was not careful, he would turn into a piece of fat in someone else's bowl.

The sun in mid-August was already vicious in the morning, and soon the light mist on the river surface was roasted. The golden snakes flashed over the water surface of the entire Huangpu River, and countless tracer bombs were intertwined and flying in the air.

Before going to fight this morning, Mao Bangchu repeatedly reminded all young Air Force pilots that your mission is to cover bombers. No matter how Japanese fighters pose low-profile to attract you to attack, don't stay away from bombers easily.

The Japanese were very bad. In order to attract escort fighters to leave the bomber formation, they often deliberately lower their postures to attract Chinese pilots who want to make contributions to attack.

Therefore, many interceptors dare not leave the bomber group. Only a part of the interceptors are driving out enemy aircraft that want to attack bombers and fighting in outer circles. This instead causes the number of Japanese fighters to be dominated by local air combat.

Today, the biggest losses are Hawk 1 and Hawk 2, which are all behind in performance. They have almost no chance of defeating the Japanese carrier-based aircraft. They have to avoid the anti-aircraft artillery fire on the river surface, and have to take on fire suppression against enemy ships, tear the bomber a gap in anti-aircraft artillery fire, and defend against dive attacks from carrier-based aircraft in the air.

Seeing Hawk 1 and Hawk 2 being suppressed and kept being shot down, the Chinese people on both sides were heartbroken, with many children covered with tears.

The Air Force is the dream of most children.

Especially the Hawk 1 fighter, which lags behind several streets, looks very tragic under the double blow of enemy aircraft and anti-aircraft artillery.

Unlike ground combat, fighters can be stalemates, fighter jets can compete in air with life and death and win and lose very quickly. They often interlaced with two aircraft, and the battle can be resolved in just ten seconds or even a few seconds.

During World War II, most fighter jets had short legs, especially Chinese fighter jets participating in bombing missions from Jianqiao Airport. They were limited by fuel and could not stay in air for too long, so they had to fight quickly.

The primary task of the Chinese aircraft fleet today is to sink the Izumo, so the task of the interceptor is to protect the bomber while suppressing the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the enemy fleet.

After continuous fierce battles, the plane's fuel consumption was very fast. Chinese interceptors flew from Jianqiao Airport and were destined to stay on the Huangpu River for a very short time.

So, they attack with all their might!
