Six hundred and sixteen The second wave of attacks begins

Zhou Zhihan pulled the rod continuously, and at first glance, it looked obvious that the edges were obviously square. When he looked closely, he felt a little fat, but he pulled up and jumped up like lightning, and soon turned into the size of a matchbox on the heads of 11 American pilots. Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor was stunned. He had never seen such a swift wild cat. Until the wild cat completely disappeared from the sky, he shook his head with a big mouth: "God, this is really a flexible fat cat!"

The Wildcat No. 214 entered the 9,000-meter sky and looked at the second Japanese attack aircraft group flying at a constant speed in the distance.

From a distance, the 171 Japanese fighter bombers were like dense sparrows, forming four formations. The front was the 54 Type 97 torpedo aircraft with slow flight speed, with a flight altitude of about 2,300 meters.

Two kilometers behind the torpedo aircraft are divided into two echelons, with a flight height of about 2,800 meters.

The 36 Zero fighter jets were divided into three squadrons, acting as defense on the left, right and rear of the bomber group, with a flight altitude of about 3,200 meters. The formation composed of the entire aircraft group was impeccable and came in full force.

Not far behind the second wave of attack aircraft group, there is the first wave of return attack aircraft group. They just passed by each other. The two aircraft group combined together is huge, and it is very spectacular to look down from the air.

Looking at the yellow-blue-body Type 99 bomber, who was communicating with three other yellow-bodied Japanese aircraft, using their unique gestures, Zhou Zhihan quickly disappeared into a thin cloud above the clouds, waiting for the Japanese to come.

At this time, it was not the best time to shoot down the Sun Commander's plane. It was not difficult for Zhou Zhihan to take the enemy's general's head from three or four hundred fighter jets. It was difficult for Zhou Zhihan to have reasonable oil and ammunition after a war.

There is no problem with the amount of oil. After all, at home, the Japanese arrived shortly after the Flying Tigers took off. Like all wildcats, the number 214 wildcats has more than half of the oil left.

As for ammunition, Zhou Zhihan also has enough reasons. In addition to the bomber, he used two machine guns when shooting down Type Zero, which is what most pilots see. If he rides alone and forces his way through the level, he must use too much ammunition, which is difficult to explain. Even the Japanese will doubt it at that time.

Shigeshimazaki, the commander of the second wave of attack aircraft, had a simple exchange with Major and Shinta, confirming that the imperial surprise attack was a success.

Shigeka Shimazaki, Eku Takahiro, and Kondo was overjoyed.

Funata told Shigekashimazaki that he must pay special attention to Shu Zhihan, Iwamoto Tomiya Nishizawa Hiroyo, and at least one squadron's zero-fold in the hands of this person.

In addition, there are about a squadron of American fighter jets above Pearl Harbor.

Shigeshimazaki and the other two smiled a little while when they heard this.

Kondo said that he would definitely shoot down the Chinese man Zhou Zhihan and avenge Nishizawa Hiroyoshi and Iwamoto Tetsuzo.

Shigeshimazaki and the Grandmaster continued to move forward with the fleet.

Seeing Pearl Harbor right in front, Shigeshimazaki and the Major frowned.

There is no possibility of an unexpected attack now. With Zhou Zhihan and a squadron of US aircraft, their second wave of air strikes are difficult and will definitely be fiercely counterattacked by the US military.

At this time, the entire sky above Pearl Harbor was covered by thick smoke caused by the first wave of attacks, and the light of day was completely gone under the port, which caused great trouble to his attack team.

At present, the special mixed fleet is still more than 200 nautical miles away from here, and the communication system cannot be connected. Shigeka Shigeka Shigeo cannot conduct detailed communication with Ekura Takahiko and Kondo, and can only launch an attack according to the original plan.

Shigeshimazaki and Matsushima used telescopes to search for Wildcat No. 214 and more than a dozen other American fighter jets, but they never found it, which made him feel an ominous premonition.

Looking at the foggy Tantras Mountains ahead, it is very suitable for ambushing in the air. Shimazaki Shige and Judgment, Zhou Zhihan and the others are very likely to be hiding in the fog, so they ordered Kondo to lead a squadron's Zero-Stage Into the front, be sure to find Zhou Zhihan and shoot down.

Kondo opened the hatch door and made a gesture of "Follow me". Immediately, a squadron's Zero Battle followed him and searched forward along the Tantras Mountains.

Just as Shigeka Shimazaki and his attack group surged, the Americans who woke up from the nightmare began to show unparalleled unity.

After the first wave of Japanese attack aircraft left, ordinary people near Pearl Harbor, after a brief spiritual recovery, burst out with high patriotism and rushed into Pearl Harbor to participate in firefighting and rescue operations.

Some people even brought pistols and rifles. If the Japanese dared to come back, they would be unable to return.

At this time, Zhou Zhihan realized that his worries were unnecessary. The US military at Pearl Harbor had discovered a group of Japanese aircraft that appeared more than 20 kilometers away and launched corresponding defenses. He had previously worried that the Americans would be stunned after being attacked.

As Pearl Harbor gradually progressed, Shigehashimazaki felt a headache when he looked at the target covered in smoke, and he didn't know how to start for a while.

The fighter planes fly high and are blocked by smoke and cannot find the target of attack, and the accuracy of bomb drops will be greatly reduced.

Flying too low, it is both dangerous and difficult to judge the direction in the thick smoke. Moreover, the surviving American soldiers have recovered at this time and activated all available anti-aircraft artillery under the command of the commander, and rebuilt a dense anti-aircraft fire over Pearl Harbor.

At this time, 5 kilometers away from Pearl Harbor, the attack aircraft group began to develop formation.

Suddenly, the pilot of the 97 carrier-based aircraft flying in the front discovered that a wildcat fighter appeared above the Tantras Mountains, diving down towards the Imperial fleet at an extremely fast speed.

"It's Wildcat No. 214."

Kondo led a squadron to search forward in Zero, screamed when he saw this, made a gesture of "Follow me" and quickly pulled the rod. Zero flew out a clean and neat pull jump and met it.

Seeing that the squadron leader's pulling and jumping were very exquisite, the team members cheered in unison, pulled the rod and climbed up, forming an A-shaped formation with Kondo, facing the Wildcat No. 214.

"court death!"

Seeing a yellow zero-type pull-up on the fuselage, Zhou Zhihan couldn't ask for it and said sneered. He pushed the ratchet while hitting the rod with his right hand, using only two machine guns under the nose, and still using Wilde machine gun bullets. The shooting technique reached his level and did not need bullet traces as a reference.

Wilde machine gun bullets were first used in Spitfire. With the deepening of the defense of London in the UK, the British military gradually used this advanced ammunition to American fighter jets rented under the Lease Act. Later, some American fighter jets also began to use more advanced Wilde machine gun bullets.

This ammunition has the ability to set fire, unlike the standard incendiary bombs used before.

As mentioned above, Wilde did not have any conspicuous fire or smoke after the breeze was released, but flashing points would explode at the moment when the bullet hit the target, allowing the pilot to clearly see whether he hit the target.

The 214 wild cat dived faster and faster, leaving a white condensation trail behind the fuselage, like a waterfall hanging in the air, which was particularly vivid against the background of the blue sky.

This time, Japan used the Zero-21 carrier-based aircraft in the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor.

Compared with the Zero 11 model that shines on the Chinese battlefield, the Zero 21 model uses foldable wings.

After accumulating a lot of experience in aircraft carrier combat, in order to facilitate the use of lifts from the hangar to lift the zero type to the flight deck, the Japanese army specially modified the wing tip about 20 inches on the outer end of the wing to a foldable style. After this change, the aircraft carrier can carry more zero type and enhance combat effectiveness.

However, when the Zero 21 Type Warrior adds a slightly folding function, it requires fixing rivets and rotors, which is essential to increase the weight of the wingtips. Therefore, the speed and agility of this fighter have decreased without increasing the engine power.

However, the Japanese Navy did not care about this. After various arguments, the Japanese believed that at present, Zero fighter jets were invincible.

Since its great success in China's Battle of Bishan, the Japanese were very satisfied with Zero. Although the Zero fighter jets were repeatedly defeated by Zhou Zhihan in subsequent battles, the Spitfire and Hurricanes, the Japanese military always believed that it was not the British and German fighters that defeated the Zero fighter jets, but Zhou Zhihan, who had phenomenal flight skills.

In early 1940, Germany sent several Messerschmitts to Japan. At that time, the Type 12 ship battle had been released. The Japanese military had used these two fighters to conduct many simulated air combat, and the Zero fighter almost won the victory.

The primary task of fighter jets at present is to protect their own bomber groups and obtain air supremacy, and the battle for air supremacy comes from dog fights.

Messerchmitt's hovering ability and turning radius are not as good as zero battles, not to mention the range is simply a disaster, with diving and climbing winning.

However, the escort fighter jets mainly focus on defending the bomber group and expelling enemy aircraft. It is obvious that Messer-Chmitt, who is rushing hard, is slightly lacking in this regard.

Comprehensive comparison, Messerchmidt is not as good as Zero War.

And early, mid-term fire spitting was slightly less than plum style, let alone hurricanes.

This is also the confidence of the Japanese at the moment.

"Swish swish swish swish..."

The Wildcat No. 214, which was hit by lightning, opened fire first and fired a very short point shot.

Seeing a faint fire flashing under the nose of a wild cat, Mindou laughed: "Is this China's ace pilot? Do you want to scare me at such a long distance?"

But the next second he couldn't laugh. A sound of glass sounded in his ears. His body shook and blood spurted out on the dashboard. Then a severe pain came from his left shoulder. He was shocked and subconsciously pushed the rod. The Zero fighter changed his rising posture. The nose drew an arc to the ground to avoid the threat of the Wild Cat No. 214.

Seeing a flash flash on the nose of the Zero-type aircraft flying towards the bottom, and then the nose fell down and avoided it. Zhou Zhihan chuckled and did not chase after it. The matchbox of the Zero-type aircraft was hit, and the pilot would be disabled even if he did not die.

Zhou Zhihan's main attack target was not the Zero fighter, but the torpedo and bomb were removed and the 54 Type 97 ships flying in the front attack.

This Type 97-mounted torpedo is the Type 97-mounted torpedo machine, and the modified bomb is the Type 97-mounted ship attack.

Zhou Zhihan succeeded with a blow and pulled the rod lightly. The No. 214 wild cat hit the bottom and changed to fly forward. After passing the other 11 people, they saw that the squadron leader was shot down. They were still confused and were still thinking about "how could this happen". They pushed the rod again and the fighter quickly rushed down.

All the Japanese bomber pilots did not expect that the 12 Zero fighters could not intercept a wild cat. In the blink of an eye, the landline entering the fungus was pouring downwards with black smoke. The bomber group that was developing an attack formation was a little panicked. Seeing that the No. 214 wild cat was on the top in a blink of an eye, they immediately dispersed.

It's too late.

The Wildcat No. 214 fired again from a long distance, hitting the ammunition depot behind the nose of a Type 97 ship. A flash burst out and the nose exploded. The bomber was torn into several pieces like a paper plane. The shrapnel generated by the explosion splashed everywhere, scaring several bombers almost collided while dodging, and the formation of the group was suddenly in chaos.

Zhou Zhihan took advantage of the chaos to pursue the situation. The No. 214 wild cat rolled right with a 360-degree plane in the pounce, continued to hit the downward attack, stabilized the slope, and fired to hit a Type 97 ship attack that scattered in the panic.

Or hit the ammunition depot.

"boom!"

The Type 97 ship attack explosion that was hit.

The attack of Wildcat No. 214 was simple and effective. It fired three times and all hit the nose. One caught fire and fell, and the other two caught fire and exploded, which made all Japanese pilots' scalp numb.

At this time, the 11 Zero-types led by Mutsuki had already flew forward and could not quickly return to defense, so they could only continue to move forward.

Rich practical experience allows the Japanese to quickly stabilize.

Seeing that the commander of the deportation aircraft, Mindfuji was shot down, Captain Makino Saburo took over the command in accordance with the order and led his Zero Squadron to attack No. 214 Wildcat.

The Zero Squadron, which was pressing the formation at the end, had rich practical experience and had a very fast reaction. He quickly divided into two squads, guarding both sides of the somewhat panicked bomber group, and protected the aircraft group to continue to advance.

There are 171 fighter bombers, it is impossible to keep their feet away because of a wild cat.

Captain Makino Saburo suddenly dispersed, forming a four-machine formation and four double-finger formations, divided into four directions, surrounding Wildcat No. 214.

Zhou Zhihan felt a little furious. The Japanese formation was a bit weird, which he had never seen before.

The bomber group was unfolded, divided into several groups, and rushed straight to Pearl Harbor. Some attacked airports, some attacked battleship avenues, and some attacked battleships that were fleeing to Pearl Harbor.

At this moment, Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor and his 11 fighters appeared from above the Tantras Mountains and used dive-killing to attack the Japanese bomber group.

The landline of Tsuki's plane escaped from the periphery of Pearl Harbor in thick smoke. The position of squadron commander was automatically taken over by Lieutenant Keiichi Kimura. He led the fighter plane to meet him and intercept Lieutenant Kenneth Taylor and others.

The second wave of Japanese aircraft was not as lucky as the first wave of attack aircraft. What he encountered was the US ships and sailors who were on guard and on high alert.

When he arrived over Pearl Harbor, Shimazaki Shige and Major even more headed. The smoke was too strong, and it was simply a cover for the sun. It was impossible to see where the large warships were parked, which made it difficult for his attack aircraft group to launch effective and accurate strikes. This smoke made the bomb dropping technology they had practiced without any use.

When the Japanese attack aircraft group entered the air above Pearl Harbor, all the American warships that could still fire were fired using anti-aircraft guns to fire at the air, forming cylindrical barrages in the air.

Some sailors on the ship climbed onto the bridge and used machine guns and other weapons to defend themselves, while some soldiers climbed onto the command tower or watchtower, mast, and used rifles to shoot dive Japanese planes.

The extremely fast smoke screen formed by warship anti-aircraft guns pulled out lines of fire, which was very conspicuous and majestic, and immediately became the new positioning point of the Japanese army.

Just worried about not being able to find and could not recognize the US warship, 80 Japanese dive bombers, led by Major Takahashi, boldly dived down along the extremely fast barrage shot from the warship, avoiding the rain of bullets, and rushing straight towards the warship. When the dive reached a certain height and the warship was clearly visible, they immediately aimed and bombarded the US warships that were counterattacking.

Captain Yamada Masahei, who took off from the aircraft carrier [Akagi], also found the target of attack. When he found that the smoke from a shell was the most dense, he was ecstatic and thought that he had found a large warship. He immediately led all the squadrons to kill him. However, when he dived to a certain height, he found that it was just a land turret, so he had to curse and pull the plane, climb up again, and find a new target.

The Japanese will not waste shells on land-based turrets.
