Chapter 1521 Authentication from the enemy (first update, please subscribe)
War is the best classroom. This classroom is not only industrial, but also military.

In [-], no country in the world had heard of airplanes, but by [-], almost all the powerful countries in the world had equipped a large number of airplanes.

And almost all the planes are based on the "Hai Dongqing" plane of the Ming Empire.At most, there is a slight difference.

The United States is the first country other than Ming Dynasty to successfully imitate aircraft and equip a large number of aircraft-but anyone who is beaten will take the initiative to learn, um, we are excluded.

By April [-], seven U.S. factories had manufactured thousands of aircraft. Except for the hundreds of aircraft that fell during training, almost one-third of the aircraft were deployed in the west. The airport where small planes weighing [-] to [-] kilograms take off and land is actually a piece of lawn, as long as there is a piece of lawn, they can take off.

After the outbreak of the war, many rural farms in California were requisitioned as airports. The pilots lived in the farmer's house, and the ground crew lived in tents. As for the airport, it was a flat open space on the farm.

It was just dawn, and the 2.5-ton truck pulled the pilots straight to the airport.

The drowsy pilots were drowsy, perhaps because they drank too much at the bar in the town last night and played too crazy with those girls, so everyone closed their eyes and rested their minds, and no one Willing to speak up.

Another day of fighting, another... Yesterday, three of their planes were shot down in dogfights, two were killed, and four managed to parachute.

What will happen today?
Trucks take the pilots to their respective planes.Richard hopped out of the car and saw mechanic Wabond busy in the cockpit of his plane.The roar of the engine tore through the air. Harry, the machine gunner who arrived early, sat in the back seat and fired a dozen bullets into the sky. Tracer bullets pierced the newly awakened sky.

The mechanic jumped out of the cockpit and reported.

"Sir, the plane is ready."

Yesterday, after everyone went back to rest, the mechanics were still busy at the airport, overhauling the plane for them.

"Thank you, Bond."

"You're welcome, sir. If you want to thank me, just buy me a beer when you get back."

Bond said with a smile.

This is not so much a beg for a drink, but a kind of blessing. After all, you can only ask him to drink if you come back alive.

"Ok, no problem!"

The sky was not yet bright, and the roar of engines mixed with the short bursts of machine guns could be heard everywhere on the airport.

Richard looked over to the conning tower to see if the captain's car was coming.

Soon, the captain's car came, and the captain called them over.Then assigned the task is.

"Today, the task of our brigade is the same as yesterday. It is to patrol the airspace near the "Fort Grant" and at the same time go to the enemy's situation behind the Ming army..."

After carefully introducing the task, John said to Richard and others:

"This mission is the same as usual, to prevent the Daming Devil from throwing the "God Scepter" on the fortress, Richard, you are the most experienced pilot in the team, and you have fought against the Daming Devil several times. Now, One-third of the pilots in our brigade have certificates issued by the Ming Devils."

The so-called "certificate issued by the Daming devils" is actually an encounter with a Daming aircraft and a fight.

"If you can shoot down two planes of the Ming Devils, add a few Suzakus to the fuselage, let's say five... Yes, this is called an ace pilot. The Ming Devils call the pilot who shot down five planes an "ace pilot" .God forbid, that's what I'm hoping for."

Richard said.

"Haha, maybe you will have a chance this time, as long as Harry plays more accurately."

Ten minutes later, after having a simple breakfast, more than 1500 planes took off against the morning light, and the planes flew over Dagudi under the morning light.When the plane climbed to an altitude of 30 meters, they turned into a level flight state.That's six missions for Richard No.[-].Only now did he know that this flying altitude was the most favorable—it was convenient for observation, air combat, and easy to avoid the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery fire.

As they flew over the Great Valley and over the junction of the Coast Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, the enemy's anti-aircraft machine guns fired at them, and the bullets trailed red trails and flew straight towards them. You can see the huge artillery group on the ground, that is the artillery group of the empire.

However, they did not take the risk of bombing the artillery positions of the empire. In fact, they had tried this before, but they encountered intensive anti-aircraft fire. After losing half of the aircraft, only a few artillery pieces were destroyed. It's not worth it.

A few clouds floated sparsely in the sky.Although the land is covered with forests, you can still see the ground clearly when flying.

"Pay attention to the sky."

Back seat gunner when flying due north.The head kept turning back and forth, for fear of missing the target that should be discovered.

"Target found on the left..."

Suddenly, Harry yelled, and the figure of the enemy appeared in front of the left side-it was a "Falcon" aircraft, and the six aircraft were flying at the same altitude as ours.A little higher and six more.There are 12 in total!
"There must be an airship in the sky."

Richard quickly swung the wings and turned the nose in the direction of the enemy plane, indicating the position of the enemy plane to the team members.The team members said "I saw it" one after another.

Richard gestured to the third squadron to take off to search and destroy the airship, and then Richard led 24 planes to directly face the Ming devils.

"Pay attention to the aiming point and shoot..."

Richard yelled, pushed the throttle lever to the maximum throttle position, and rushed towards the enemy plane swiftly.When he and his comrades accelerated, the opponent also accelerated.

As both planes were sprinting head-on at maximum speed, the "Falcon" suddenly swelled up before Richard's eyes.

In order to avoid the propeller, the rear machine gun seat was higher than the fuselage like a barrel. When the plane in the air was "impacting" like an ancient heavy cavalry holding a long gun, Harry, who was standing on the seat, pressed the trigger button.

Both planes opened fire almost simultaneously.The bullet trails of the machine guns were clear and flashing, and the red tracer dragged red bullet trails in the air. Strings of bullets also whizzed past the heads of both sides almost simultaneously, and then disappeared without a trace.

At the moment of impact, Richard began to turn, and Harry tightly spun the machine gun, pointing the machine gun tightly at the enemy plane, and dragging a fan-shaped interface in the air with the red tracer of the plane's maneuvering.

The head-on attack is just the beginning of the entanglement. At this moment, both sides are vying for a favorable position-downward, which is easy to understand. After all, the machine gunner in the lower position can shoot 360 degrees without dead ends.

At the end of the head-on attack, Richard used his favorite maneuver - after the head-on attack, his plane plunged almost vertically towards the ground.

Need to lower altitude!
Only one thought churned in Richard's mind:

"Lower the altitude and attack the belly of the Daming devil..."

Just when Richard lowered the altitude by turning, and when Harry saw the belly of the enemy plane and aimed at the belly of the plane to shoot, Richard saw two "Falcon" planes suddenly make a beautiful "kite turn over" ", suddenly entered the inverted flying state, hanging upside down, although the field of vision was limited, the "Falcon" machine gunner directly fired at the opponent.

Although the flight speed of the "Falcon" aircraft was slowing down, it was also out of danger.At the moment when he was out of danger, Richard watched the Daming devils show off their flying skills in the air with admiration - making the plane roll to the right around the longitudinal axis, and then make a dive and bend to the right, they again Once seized the favorable position below, the machine gunner fired again at the moment of seizing the position, accompanied by a fan-shaped red light passing by an aircraft, and a JN1 emitted black smoke.

"Damn Daming devil..."

Cursing the Daming devils, Richard also followed with a "kite turn over", entered the inverted flight state, and then made a sharp dive and turn to the left after rolling.

Air combat has always been the best class. Richard is undoubtedly a good student. He imitates in the air like a monkey, learning the skills of air combat.The sky is his classroom, but this classroom is extremely cruel - once shot down, it is a dead end!
In the following time, planes plummeted to the ground with long smoke...
