my bright sword career

Chapter 662

Due to the advantages of the liquid-cooled engine, the Panda fighter not only has excellent air combat performance and maneuverability, but also has a very good ground attack capability, and even flies very stably when "attacking at zero altitude". When flying at a low altitude, you can easily avoid obstacles such as trees and buildings during strafing.

It is equipped with the Pratt & Whitney R-2800-34W "Double Hornet" engine, which also makes this fighter very quiet when flying at low speeds. Only when it flies overhead, the enemy will find the impending blow.

When the heavy rain that had lasted for more than ten days stopped, the sun finally shyly revealed his figure.

At noon, the leading squadron leader, Major Le Zhenggeng, took the lead.

Soon, the rest of the planes of the second squadron also took off one after another, rose to an altitude of 3000 meters and flew towards the south.

All kinds of tall trees, dense small rivers, scattered bushes, and lakes in the tropical rainforest kept passing by the pilots' eyes, and soon a thin streamer-like streamer appeared in the fog unique to the rainy season in the tropical rainforest. The road appeared in front of everyone.

Le Zhenggeng looked at the route map and found that it was already more than 60 kilometers south of Mount Tululu.

According to intelligence, the Japanese army secretly transported a group of troops to the island three days ago. The task of their squadron is to find and eliminate these Japanese troops.

Putting the route map aside, Le Zhenggeng began to concentrate on searching for those tiny spots on the ground.

Occasionally, some black smoke that was still very conspicuous in the rain and fog could be seen in the rainforest. Le Zhenggeng knew that this must be the Japanese army in the rainforest warming up.

That's right, a fire.

Some people may be surprised that it is only October, and the daytime temperature in Guadalcanal Island is still relatively high. The daytime temperature can reach more than [-] degrees. How can there be a fire?

In fact, only those who have lived in the tropical rainforest know that although the temperature in the rainforest is high, it is also humid, especially in this rainy season. All kinds of skin diseases, especially in the crotch area, the feeling is really itchy.

At this time, a sparkling road soaked in rainwater appeared on the east side of the plane.

right!This is the road!

Seen from an altitude of 3000 meters, although the road in the rainforest is narrow and narrow, it is clearly visible. It is like a long yellow snake extending among the green jungles, and what is wriggling on the yellow long is a branch. Japanese army.

Seeing this, some people may say why the Japanese are so stupid, knowing that marching on the road in broad daylight will easily be attacked by the enemy's air, especially when one's own side has lost air supremacy.

But in fact, this is a last resort. Marching in the dense rainforest is a very difficult thing. If you leave the road and march in the dense rainforest, it is a very scary thing.

Various insects such as leeches and poisonous insects will kill you at any time, so no one will leave the road and cross the virgin jungle unless it is a last resort.

"Lower the flight altitude and approach from above the target's right wing!"

Squadron leader Le Zhenggeng's order came from the pilots' earphones. Le Zhenggeng pressed the joystick, lowered the flight altitude, and looked around. He found that the four teams had formed an attack formation according to the order.

The risk of implementing a zero-altitude attack in the tropical rainforest is very high, but it can give full play to the good maneuverability of the F8F Tomcat fighter at altitudes below 3000 meters.

While manipulating the plane to avoid the tall canopy of tens of meters or tens of meters emerging from time to time in the rainforest, Le Zhenggeng's other hand was skillfully preparing for the attack.Turn off the cooler, turn on the power safety of the weapon pylon, check the power supply of the 4 Colt Browning 12.7mm machine guns and other weapons, and at the same time switch the radio channel to guide the troops on the ground to contact...

The four panda fighters headed by Le Zhenggeng flew over the jungle like sharp arrows. They avoided various obstacles flexibly like little elves, and at the same time kept reducing the flight speed and engine speed. As the speed decreases, the noise of the engine becomes smaller and smaller, and when the speed of the aircraft is reduced by at least 260 kilometers per hour, the engine noise almost reaches the point of being extremely slight.

When the 24 Panda fighters got closer and closer to the road, the Japanese army, who was staggering in the mud of the road, still focused on the tropical rainforest on both sides of the road. For three days, they had had enough of the rainforest.

Even if marching along the narrow road opened up by the original troops, it was still full of dangers. From time to time, soldiers were bitten by poisonous snakes or insects that came out of nowhere.

Not only that, hunger and thirst, disease and even various poisonous insects also plagued them from time to time.

The extremely exhausted Japanese soldiers did not notice that in the dark of the jungle not far from them, several pairs of eyes were staring at them, and it was these pairs of eyes that had summoned the god of death for them.

When the plane was about to fly out of a tree canopy on the side of the road, Le Zhenggeng did not use the scope, because dropping bombs at a height of less than 50 meters, for any qualified pilot, there is no problem of whether the shooting is accurate or not. At such a distance, it is impossible for them to miss even with their eyes closed.

At the moment of flying to the road, there was a sound of panic on the road until this time. The Japanese soldiers who had been marching hard in the mud suddenly fell into chaos. Le Zhenggeng pressed the bomb button on the steering column.

The fuselage of the Panda fighter shook slightly, and the bomb left the fuselage and went straight to the ground. When pulling up the plane, flying sideways and climbing, Le Zhenggeng habitually looked down the plane while maneuvering to get rid of the anti-aircraft fire. glanced.

Looking down, I saw that the cluster bomb had just landed in the middle of the road, and a series of explosive smoke rose in the middle of the road. Suddenly, broken trees flew across the road, and the black smoke column from the explosion rose into the sky.

At the same time, other attack planes had also rushed towards the target.

In just ten seconds, more than 40 200-kilogram cluster bombs exploded on the road one after another.

When these cluster bombs exploded in the air about 20 meters above the ground, thousands of 1-kilogram bombs flew towards the Japanese army on the road like raindrops, instantly causing the army to completely lose its combat effectiveness.

When the wind blows away the smoke from the explosion on the road, the muddy road has changed color. The original yellow mud has been stained red with blood. A few minutes later, when the last formation of panda fighter jets dropped the last After the cluster bombs, some wounded soldiers were wriggling in the mud on the road stained red with blood. In the surrounding rainforest, some surviving Japanese soldiers looked in horror at the sky covered by tree canopies and at the sky above their heads. The group of silent killers quickly left.
