Launching a dive towards the target from the direction of the sun is one of the advantages of the "J-2"'s high speed... Fast speed means that the "J-2" can choose any direction to enter the battlefield.

At worst, after discovering the target, the "J-2" will circle around to reach the back-sun position and dive towards the target.

Diving from this position, the enemy would basically be unable to detect the enemy's situation. If the enemy looked in this direction, they would only be blinded by the strong sunlight.

This is also the reason why Akihara Jiro searched everywhere but failed to find the "J-2".

Because they did not find the "J-2", they were not mentally prepared. All the Japanese fighters did not maneuver to dodge, so four of them were knocked out at once.

Akihara Jiro loudly ordered on the radio: "Disperse, everyone disperse!"

He knew that although the tactic was useless, the dispersed formation of the aircraft group would at least allow the enemy aircraft to take more time to aim and chase, and would also reduce the chance of being hit by the enemy aircraft.

However, this seems to be of no use, because the Eighth Route Army fighter planes use their high speed to circle the "Wind" fleet, like wolves chasing sheep. As soon as any fighter plane leaves the group, they will be killed immediately.

This, in turn, affected the determination of the Japanese pilots to disperse... Because once they dispersed, they would become the primary target to be killed, so most of them could only maintain the original formation in panic.

But everyone understands that continuing to maintain the formation means being shot down by enemy planes one after another until the end!
Akihara Jiro felt powerless.

This was the first time he faced this new type of fighter from the Eighth Route Army.

Although he had learned about its horror from the surviving friendly pilots before, he only knew what this horror felt like when he faced it... This was not a battle at all, but the enemy's massacre of his own side. They were even like cats and mice. As if toying with the "Wind" fleet.

And the "Wind" fighter he piloted was still the best-performing fighter in the empire.

At that moment, Akihara Jiro felt bursts of sadness in his heart.

He thought of his hard studies in the Army Aviation School, the hard training in the Army Aviation, and the years of combat experience he had accumulated over and over again on the battlefield...

But all of this, all of his dedication and efforts are not worth mentioning in front of this new type of fighter of the Eighth Route Army.

What's even more detestable is that the Eighth Route Army pilot is probably just a novice with only a few months of flying experience!
Why?
This is not fair!

In fact, there is nothing fair about this. Air combat is like this. The quality of pilots and the number of fighter planes cannot make up for the generation gap, even if it only narrows the distance a little.

If you want fairness, the only way is to develop fighters of the same generation yourself.

However, it is almost impossible to reach this level with the current technical level of the Japs.

Akihara Jiro did not sit still and wait for death. After thinking for a while, he pulled the nose of the plane and rushed towards the sun at full speed.

Akihara Jiro's choice is correct. This may be the only way to escape the "J-2" encirclement.

The reason is that the direction Akihara Jiro fled is facing the sun.

If the "J-2" is chasing from behind, then what you see is not the target but sunlight.

If the "J-2" relies on speed to climb to a higher position and then dives down to meet the target... Although the target can be seen clearly, the approach speed will be very fast because it is moving in the opposite direction, which directly leads to the "J-2" There is no time to aim at the target and shoot it down. If you are not careful, you will collide with it.

Kang Zheng did not hesitate to fly the fighter plane to catch up, because he felt that...it was not easy for this Japanese pilot to make the right choice in such a short period of time.If this Japanese pilot is not dealt with today, many comrades may die at his hands in the future.

Yasumasa's guess was correct. Not long ago, Jiro Akihara shot down two "La 5"s alone... The "La 5" was slightly faster than the "Hayale" fighter jets and was flying at full speed. In principle, it was difficult to shoot them down, but Akihara Jiro did it anyway.

Kang Zheng neither chased from behind nor climbed to the top to intercept. He just "accompanied" the target and flew beside it.

There is no problem of glare from the sun when flying with a companion, because the target is on Kang Zheng's flank, and Kang Zheng can clearly see it and even observe its movements.

The only shortcoming is that the nose of the aircraft is not aligned with the target and cannot aim or shoot.

But Kangzheng was not in a hurry, always maintaining the angle and climbing with the target.

This made Akihara Jiro very confused: What does he want to do?Just fly down like this?
Soon Jiro Akihara understood... "Hayate" has a ceiling. It can't keep climbing like this. There will always be a moment when it heads in another direction.

And that moment was when the enemy shot it down.

After thinking about this, Akihara Jiro suddenly discovered that the Eighth Route Army pilots were not as simple as he thought. They were all recruits.

It is impossible for a new recruit to have such a reaction speed or come up with such a solution in such a short period of time!
He turned his head and looked at the fighter planes on the flanks, and found that the Eighth Route Army pilots just turned their heads and looked this way.

When their eyes met, Akihara Jiro saw the hatred and teasing in the other person's eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly with a hint of mockery.

Akihara Jiro was irritated by this expression, and he shouted and controlled the fighter plane to crash into it... In fact, Akihara Jiro knew in his heart that this might be his only chance, and being able to die together with the opponent was already Amaterasu's greatest gift.

However, the opponent seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and he avoided Akihara Jiro's impact by accelerating the fuselage and rotating sideways flexibly.

Due to the extremely fast acceleration of the enemy plane, Akihara Jiro lost its position as soon as his eyes blurred.

At this time, Akihara Jiro could no longer care about anything. He knew that he had left the original course and was likely to be targeted by the enemy, so he did not dare to spend time looking for the location of the enemy plane and frantically performed various maneuvers.

However, in the face of absolute speed, Akihara Jiro's efforts are destined to be in vain.

A few seconds later, Akihara Jiro only felt a violent vibration in the fuselage, and then it lost control and roared to the ground.

What is hateful is that even at the last moment of the fall, the enemy fighter plane caught up and made an insulting gesture to Akihara Jiro.

Akihara Jiro howled madly and wanted to rush out of the cabin and jump onto the opponent's fighter plane to strangle the Eighth Route Army pilot to death.

But the reality is that flames burst out of the black smoke of the fighter plane, bringing Akihara Jiro to the ground like a kite with its string broken.

Kang Zheng looked at the crashed fighter plane coldly.

He knew what he was doing was wrong and that he should spend his time shooting down more enemy planes.

But he just can't control himself...

Seeing how the Japanese were so angry before he died, Kang Zheng felt that this was the most relieved moment since he was in the army!
