All gods, the lord who started with the bright sword

Chapter 372, the battle for air supremacy

After Zhang Xiangyang retired, he should have been a civil aviation pilot like many of his predecessors.

The salary is about 800,000 a month, [-] a year.

But when someone is willing to offer a salary of 10 million a year, Zhang Xiangyang is still moved.

In fact, this salary is not easy to get. He didn't know until he went to the place that he had to fly a J-[-] fighter jet to compete with the little devil's plane.

It is not the Self-Defense Forces equipped with American-made aircraft, but the Japanese army flying Zero fighters during World War II.

If I knew this was the case, he would come even if I didn't give money.

In peacetime, the air force is training, and there are few opportunities for real combat. In this era, he can only enjoy himself.

What's more, it's Little Japan.

Back then, little Japan relied on planes to overwhelm the government's flight team. After gaining control of the air, it even bombed cities unscrupulously, committing many crimes.

If there is a chance to fight, I must fly a fighter to teach Little Japan a lesson and avenge my ancestors.

Which of them who are Air Force pilots have never imagined it?

Now that there is an opportunity, Zhang Xiangyang, as the squadron leader, is the first to fly a fighter jet.

Two fighter jets escorted four bombers to Tengchong to support the Army's attack.

On the way, news came from the communication station that the Japanese army dispatched 28 planes and was about to fly to Tengchong, asking when they could arrive.

The cruising speed of their six planes is about [-] km/h.

The straight line from Mandalay Airport to Tengchong is less than [-] kilometers, and it takes only one hour in total.

Halfway through the flight process, we can arrive in 10 minutes by accelerating the flight.

The only thing that bothered him was that there were too many enemy planes and not enough weapons.

The J-19 was imitated from the Soviet MiG-[-], and it was originally unable to hang anything except the auxiliary fuel tank.

Later, the J-Liujia was improved and developed, the nose cannon was cancelled, and it was equipped with two PL-1 instead.

Guifei factory added the ability to mount Thunderbolt-2 when it imitated again.

Thunderbolt 2 is an air-to-air missile, which is mainly used to attack enemy fighters at a relatively short distance. The attack range is within 21.5 kilometers at an altitude.

Although this missile is very weak compared to modern missiles, it is simply invincible at the moment.

Once it is locked and aimed by the radar, the little Japanese plane will not even try to run away.

The J-[-] fighter jet they drove was a further improved version, equipped with two Thunderbolt II air-to-air missiles, and a nose cannon with [-] rounds of ammunition.

Four missiles can kill up to four enemy planes.

How many enemy planes can be killed by the cannon depends on their operating skills.

According to previous training experience, it takes dozens of rounds to shoot down a plane, and it takes a full [-] rounds to shoot down a plane. Only a perfect shot can kill six planes at most.

Killing sixteen enemy planes was obviously not enough.

"We must hold off the enemy and let the second team behind catch up quickly. We must not miss an enemy plane in the first battle."

Zhang Xiangyang said to his wingman's partner.

Behind them, the airfield, which received the order, immediately launched four fighter jets again, and they were on their way.

"Japanese planes, here they come!"

Seeing through the binoculars the Japanese Air Force formation in the sky like a flock of crows in the distance, the war reporters immediately shouted.

The scale of 28 aircraft is still very impressive.

A well-informed reporter counted: "There are eight Zero fighters, and the remaining twenty are dive bombers. The Japanese have spent a lot of money."

For such a war, yes.

But it can't be called a real bloodbath. When Japan attacked the Philippines, it dispatched 84 Zero fighters, escorted [-] bombers, and attacked Clark Airport.

The 65 aircraft of the US military, which is all air power, were all wiped out in one day.

The air supremacy was immediately taken away by the Japanese army, which laid the groundwork for the fiasco of the Philippine campaign.

As the main fighter of the Japanese army, the Type Zero fighter shined in various battles.

由于机动性和续航力比当时的F2A水牛、F4F野猫、CW-21B、霍克75A、P-40战鹰等战机要占优。

In addition, the allies were insufficiently prepared, lacked a correct analysis of the characteristics of the Zero, and adopted the wrong air combat tactics of the World War I system.

As a result, about two-thirds of the fighter force in the Pacific region was lost in the months after the war began.

According to official U.S. military documents, the exchange ratio between the Zero and U.S. fighter jets at the beginning of the war was 1:6.

Allied pilots have developed Zero phobia.

Once you encounter a Zero fighter, you pray to God, hoping to be lucky enough to survive.

"The enemy's plane is coming, what about ours?"

Madonna asked anxiously.

Li Yunlong ignored them at all, it would take some time for his own plane to arrive, so he had to delay a little bit.

He thought for a while and picked up the communicator: "Let me launch the Red Flag anti-aircraft missiles one by one, with a certain interval of time. I want to see if the little devil will be afraid!"

The Hongqi II air defense missile is a product of the 70s and [-]s, and it is also the most equipped medium-range surface-to-air missile. It is good at dealing with bombers, fighters, and reconnaissance aircraft.

The disadvantage is that the price is more expensive, 1 million, or dollar.

Fire one, and the four infantry vehicles are gone.

Therefore, the Northern Expedition troops led by Li Yunlong were only equipped with six missiles, and the rest of the air defense forces were still composed of portable air defense missiles.

If the planes of the Japanese army do not lower their flight altitudes, the portable anti-aircraft missiles will be useless.

Soon, a missile soared into the sky, like a big sky-piercing monkey.

It's just that the speed and power are not the same.

The missile locked on to the pilot plane of the Japanese air formation and chased after it, no matter how difficult the plane's evasive maneuvers were, it was of no avail.

The missile kissed it, and the plane exploded in the air with a bang.

The bright fireworks lit up in the sky stunned the war reporters who had never seen it before.

An airplane at an altitude of several thousand meters has almost no resistance.

Everyone immediately associated this weapon with the previous one.

Fuck, this must be another mysterious weapon of the Sichuan Legion.

I wanted to ask, but seeing Li Yunlong's unsmiling face, the reporters suddenly lost the idea of ​​making fun of themselves.

I'd better wait until I get back and ask the delegation leader Chen, he still respects reporters very much.

The pilots of the Japanese army were indeed taken aback by the flying missiles. Seeing is believing, and there is absolutely no possibility of surviving being targeted by the weapon that was replaced with a missile.

But since they came, they made a determination to die.

The pilots have even written their suicide notes.

All for the empire, death without regret.

The flight formation dispersed, the bombers began to dive in search of targets on the ground, and the fighters, unwilling to be lonely, also dived down to share the firepower.

Go ahead to dangers.

Courage is commendable, but the brain is almost there.

"If you don't dive, it won't be easy to fight!" Li Yunlong sneered, and ordered the portable air defense missile platoon to fight back.

The trained fighters carried the missiles steadily, each locking and aiming at the target.

Seven or eight missiles immediately launched into the air to chase after them. The locked Japanese aircraft made various evasive movements, and the sky seemed to be dancing with demons.

In just 1 minutes, many big fireworks were blown up.

Although the Japanese aircraft harassed by anti-aircraft missiles dropped many bombs, the results were not satisfactory.

The bombs did not fall precisely on the tanks.

It exploded around the tank without causing substantial damage to the tank.

The two sides clashed for a round, and only 21 Japanese aircraft returned to high altitude.

The lieutenant commander of the Japanese army, who led the battle, uttered nonsense on the communication radio: "The enemy's air defense force is not as exaggerated as the rumors say, and it is not invincible.

Gentlemen, for the greatness of the empire again, for victory, please continue to attack with me! "

Behind them there was also an air formation, the real offensive force.

And their role is to scout anti-aircraft firepower and attract anti-aircraft ammunition that consumes the enemy, even if it costs their lives.

After all, the plane cannot take off or fight just because it will be shot down!

Suddenly, a pilot's exclamation came from the radio:

"Wait, look to the left, what's that?"

The pilot looked over there, and saw two black dots approaching rapidly, the speed was jaw-dropping.

Is it an alien flying saucer?
It looks like an airplane, but there is no propeller in the nose part.

Zhang Xiangyang had already discovered that the enemy aircraft group was eight kilometers ahead on the right, so he immediately ordered an attack.

His plane pierced through the clouds and appeared in front of the enemy aircraft.

In order not to waste precious shells, Zhang Xiangyang did not fire immediately, but chose to get closer, even closer.

The remaining seven Zero fighters immediately chose to climb.

The Zero had a good rate of climb, and its range maneuverability was superior to that of the Allied fighters.

In previous battles, in order to get rid of the pursuit of enemy planes, they would choose to climb to a high altitude, and then go around behind the enemy plane and kill the enemy with machine guns.

This time it was done in the same way.

Zhang Xiangyang and his wingman ignored the intention of chasing the Zero fighters, caught up with the bomber group, put the enemy planes on the sights, and fired at a distance of 500 meters.
They each fired thirty or forty shells, hitting the huge bomber.

In an instant, many aircraft fragments exploded in the air, and the bomber plummeted to the ground with black smoke.

Too slow, too slow.

Zhang Xiangyang felt that the enemy's plane was too slow in his eyes, like an adult running a race with a child.

However, because the J-[-] was too fast, it rushed to the front of the Japanese bomber fleet.

This is really embarrassing.

If it is the opposite fighter, the enemy has a chance to attack.

Despite being clumsy bombers, they had a chance to escape.Seeing that their companions were tortured and killed, the bomber fleet immediately dispersed.

But this does not affect the hunting of J-[-] fighter jets.

Since bombers are the greatest threat to the ground army, Zhang Xiangyang is determined to kill them first.

at the same time.

People on the ground raised their necks to look at the sky, and those holding binoculars watched intently.

As soon as the J-[-] fighter jet appeared, it attracted everyone's attention.

It was more than twice as fast as the Japanese aircraft visible to the naked eye. It rushed into the enemy aircraft group and easily hunted down two bombers, causing other aircraft to flee like frightened sheep, which even made the reporters exclaim.

"Oh my God, how can there be such a fast plane?"

"My God, it's like a tiger on a sheep, the Japanese plane is going to die."

four, five, six……

As if to confirm their words, one bomber after another was destroyed, some were hit and exploded in the air, and some fell down with billowing black smoke.

"Pretty, that's it, give me a hard beat!"

"Fight, fire, kill that bastard!"

Li Yunlong raised his neck to watch, still chanting the command, more like a commentator.

His own plane seized the air supremacy, which made him so excited that he couldn't help himself.

The soldiers on the ground have also stopped at this moment, and all the soldiers are paying attention to the battle situation in the sky.

There is no doubt that whoever seizes the air supremacy will play a vital role in the next war.

The Japanese army seized air supremacy. If the planes dropped bombs desperately, the Sichuan Army would suffer heavy losses, and it is not impossible to even lose its offensive capabilities.

If they seized the air supremacy and further blasted the city wall, the end of the Japanese army in the city would come.

In the sky,
After slaughtering the seventh bomber, the Zero fighter climbed to a high altitude, bit the bullet and swooped down, trying to bite the tail of the J-[-] fighter to give it a fatal blow.

But they couldn't bite at all.

The J-[-] fighter jet has a cruising speed of [-] kilometers per hour, and its maximum speed exceeds Mach [-]. It is a supersonic fighter.

Supersonic refers to a speed greater than the speed of sound, approximately 340 meters per second or 1224 kilometers per hour.

The maximum speed of the Type [-] fighter!
533.4 km/h,

Not as good as half of the J-[-] fighter.

It is completely impossible for the Zero fighter to bite behind the J-[-] fighter.

The Japanese pilots could only watch the enemy plane whizzing away, firing a string of bullets as if venting their anger.

Zhang Xiangyang chuckled disdainfully.

Little Japan, the advantages of your aircraft are really not enough in front of us.

Recalling the Zero fighter document that I have studied specially, this fighter has advantages and disadvantages.

The Type Zero fighter is equipped with two Type 20 60mm cannons in the wings, each carrying [-] rounds of ammunition.

The nose of the aircraft is equipped with two Type 7.7 300mm machine guns, each carrying 700-[-] rounds of ammunition. The firepower exceeds that of the Type [-] fighter jets, and also surpasses the firepower of European and American fighter jets in the same period.

For early European and American fighters with incomplete bulletproof and weak structures, the firepower of the 20mm cannon was threatening.

In addition, the Zero Type can also mount two 30kg or 60kg bombs, and can be used as a fighter-bomber, known as the "universal fighter".

These are tentatively considered advantages.

By the way, it also has the advantages of good climbing performance and long range. The external fuel tank has a range of [-] kilometers.

Compared with their J-2000 fighter jets with external fuel tanks, they can only fly [-] taels for [-] kilometers.

Or say J-[-] is a short-legged fighter!
But the Zero fighter has many shortcomings,
There are serious flaws in the Zero-type wing structure, and the dive speed is limited. If the speed is too fast, the aircraft will easily disintegrate.

In order to save weight, the Zero type did not install a self-sealing fuel tank, nor any automatic fire extinguishing device.

The pilot also has no armor protection, and a bullet on the surface of the fuselage may cause the aircraft to catch fire.

So later got the nickname of a flying lighter.

Zhang Xiangyang turned the plane around, trying to find the Zero fighter that dared to trouble him just now, can he really hit it with one hit?
