Bright Sword Military System

Chapter 1104 Advancement

The battle started almost as the Devil fighter climbed.

Most of the Devil fighters choose to shoot with machine guns at the first time... This may be the habitual action of Devil pilots.

They usually use machine guns to fight the enemy, and when they are nervous, they get used to using machine guns instead of S1.

The Devil pilot didn't even think about it. When the distance is too far, the gun can hardly hit the target.

The "La 5" of the Eighth Route Army launched a batch of X2.

With a whistling sound, the X2 dragged a long trail and flew straight to the target, and then "boomed" exploded in the group of devils.

The "Zero Fighter" fuselage and wings are quite fragile. Many X2s did not actually hit the target, but they were able to shatter the "Zero Fighter" wings and then lost their balance and ran around.

If it was a direct hit, it would directly explode the fuselage into two pieces and burst into flames in the air, and when these exploding fighter planes fell, they would hit the following Devil fighter planes...so the Devil fighter planes went into chaos in an instant lump.

The fighter planes of the two teams passed by each other, and it took only a few seconds for the winner to be decided: more than ten fighter planes of the Devils had been shot down, while only one of the "La 5" was shot down, and another was injured.

Hashimoto looked around and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Because the result was still acceptable, he thought that at least half of his fighters would be lost in the contact just now, but he didn't expect it to be only a dozen or so.

This is the fault of the lack of training of the pilots of the Eighth Route Army.

More than half of the Eighth Route Army are new cadets who have been training for several months. They have not mastered the flying movements clearly, and at the same time they are participating in combat for the first time... Most of these new cadets are students, and they have never seen such a scene before. I haven't even touched it, let alone piloted a plane in an air combat.

Therefore, everyone was sweating nervously on the battlefield.

And the X2 stuff requires the pilot's psychological quality to be better.

Because the X2 is controlled by the pilot while driving the fighter, that is, the nose of the aircraft must always be aimed at the target.

This is quite difficult for new trainees, especially when two planes are driving towards each other... It is like two cars colliding. Only by pulling the fuselages apart in time at the last moment can they avoid colliding with the enemy plane.

Therefore, many fighters, or most of the pilots, pulled the fighters away too early, and the X2 lost its aim.

But this doesn't matter too much, because "Pull 5" still has a chance, while "Zero War" seems to be in a passive state of being beaten.

This is what Hashimoto didn't realize. When the respective fighters were in a melee, Hashimoto suddenly discovered that the enemy's fighters were more lethal than when they attacked head-on...

The main reason is that the speed of the "Pull 5" fighter is much faster than that of the "Zero", and Wang Xuexin's tactics for training new students are to fly away from the battlefield again and again and interspersed in again and again. Speed ​​per hour, so "Pull 5" can always bite the tail of "Zero War".

Once the Zero War is biting its tail, launching the X2 is much easier than attacking it head-on.

The Devil fighter plane seemed to realize that it also had air-to-air missiles at this time, so it circled around and used S1 to start a dogfight with the enemy plane.

Hashimoto is an old pilot with ten years of flying experience, but he found it very difficult to shoot down enemy planes with the S1.

One reason is that the target is fast and it is difficult to grasp its whereabouts, and the other is that the S1 needs to be manually detonated.

Especially the latter...

The former can also be resolved.

For example, Hashimoto used his refined flying skills to frequently maneuver at large angles.

Before the battle, Hashimoto gave this order to his subordinates.

Facts have proved that Hashimoto is correct. "Zero War" has a much smaller turning radius than the enemy plane when maneuvering at a large angle, so "Zero War" can use less time to take a shorter path to "catch up" the enemy plane.

(Note: "Zero Zhan" weighs more than 1600 kilograms empty, and "Pull 5" weighs 2600 kilograms when empty. Although "Zero Zhan" is made of wood, it is still more than 5 kilograms heavier than Zero Zhan, which has been reduced to an abnormal weight.)

Hashimoto used this tactic to catch up with an enemy plane.

But there is not much time left for Hashimoto, because at the moment of catching up, if Hashimoto does not launch S[-], it means that the enemy plane will soon escape his range.

It is for this reason that Hashimoto missed the opportunity to shoot down the enemy plane several times.

The artificial detonation of S1 is almost impossible to solve...

Because it is artificially detonated, the pilot must control the aircraft while visually and calculate the distance between S1 and the target. Only when S1 is close enough to the target can detonating S[-] be able to blow up the target.

And that requires luck.

What's more, although Mao Xiong's fighter plane is made of wood, it is stronger than "Zero War".

Therefore, even if one after another S1 exploded around "La 5", very few of them could be knocked down.

After a few minutes of fighting, it became intense. Hashimoto finally found a trick. He knew that it needs to be hit in advance... Just like a sniper hits an irregularly moving target, you have to estimate the target's position and then move the fighter plane ahead of time. Point and fire S1.

Sure enough, under the operation of Hashimoto, a "La 5" fighter was hit by S[-] and burst into flames.

Hashimoto was overjoyed, and shouted on the radio: "Everyone, estimate the position of the target and shoot in advance..."

But before he finished speaking, Hashimoto suddenly found an enemy plane chasing after him.

Hashimoto hurriedly dropped the microphone to control the fighter plane to maneuver at a large angle, but just as he turned the corner, he found an X[-] that was emitting white smoke waiting for him there...

At that moment, Hashimoto was stunned: The Eighth Route Army also learned to fight ahead? !

Hashimoto underestimated the pilots of the Eighth Route Army. Although most of the pilots in the Eighth Route Army were new trainees, there were also old pilots transferred from the First Air Force with Yu Ping.

Although these old pilots have little experience in flying the "La 5", they have flown various models when they were in the Jinsui Army.

As the so-called "one master, one master", the principle of flying a fighter plane is the same, but different models require a process of adaptation.

The old pilots quickly adapted to the "La 5" just because they drove more models.

Among them was Wang Mengde, the deputy captain of the Second Air Force and Yu Ping's right-hand man.

If Yu Ping hadn't said it, Wang Xuexin couldn't believe that this guy was myopic... Wang Mengde's parents were both scholars, and both of them were short-sighted, so he inherited it from Wang Mengde, and he was born with more than 400 degrees of myopia.

But there is a saying that "practice makes perfect". Wang Mengde finally grew into a qualified pilot and even became one of the best pilots by relying on hard work and practice.

Moreover, precisely because Wang Mengde is short-sighted, he often relies on feeling in air combat.

He was the one who was chasing Hashimoto's fighter plane. He found that the fighter plane Hashimoto was driving was very flexible and always made large turns with the maneuverability of "Zero Fighter", so he gave it a shot based on his own feeling. Amount in advance...
