My client Li Yunlong

"The first fighter group has returned."

"Both aircraft returned safely, with both pilots and aircraft intact."

Independent regiment headquarters.

When I heard the report from the Aviation Battalion,
"What was the result?"

Li Yunlong couldn't wait.

"Seven enemy planes came in, six were shot down, and one escaped."

Correspondent reports.

"it is good!"

"Ha ha!"

Li Yunlong was overjoyed.

In the first air battle, six invading enemy planes were wiped out, and only one escaped. A great victory!
"Okay!"

According to the attack plan, now is not the time to return.

Although we know that the J-1 fighter jets brought by Li Yunlong are very advanced, fast, powerful, thickly armored, and extremely maneuverable, and are decades more advanced than the Japanese,

"How's it going?"

the brigade commander said to the telegraph operator.

Returning early means that there is something wrong with the attack, and there is a high probability that the attack will be abandoned.

Zhao Gang also grinned.

Jingle Bell,
The phone at the regiment headquarters suddenly rang. Zhao Gang picked up the phone, heard the sound, and immediately responded:
"Hello, boss!"

Northern Review.

"The independent regiment headquarters reported that the first fighter group shot down six enemy aircraft without any losses."

"Big victory."

He couldn't help but stand up and walk back and forth to relieve his inner excitement.

"it is good!"

"Forget it, the call from the headquarters should have been made to the Independent Regiment."

"Let the people in the base area and the people across the country see this victory."

This problem is not big.

Afterwards, he reported seriously:

The brigade commander turned and said:
"Let the Independent Group develop the photos of the camera gun and hand them over to Xinhua News Agency for publication as soon as possible."

The pilots are also veterans.

···
Brigade Headquarters.

He prayed in his heart.

The hope is that the plane has a problem and returns.

Seemingly thinking of something, the brigade commander then waved his hand and signaled:

"Report to headquarters immediately."

"Okay!"

After all, it was the first time for our pilot to participate in an air combat and he lacked actual combat experience.

But the brigade commander was still very nervous.

The brigade is very happy.

Aircraft attacks are subject to many restrictions, especially the weather. Once the weather becomes bad, the attack must be stopped and the aircraft must return, or the aircraft may malfunction and have to return.

When Hide Inada piloted the Zero fighter and landed at Beiping Airport, the brigade leader, Major General Junmasa Ghana, instinctively felt something was wrong.

···
The base area was elated and overjoyed, and could not wait to celebrate with gongs and drums.

"Yes!"

He was so nervous, not to mention the boss's temper. He would definitely call the independent group headquarters as soon as possible.

The brigade commander sounded nervous.

The J-1 fighter jet is equipped with a camera gun. When the cannon fires, it will continuously take pictures of the scene ahead and record the scene of shooting down the Japanese fighter jet as information to prove the result of the battle afterwards.

"correct."

Two hours early.

But the Japanese were not happy.

The brigade staff immediately went to execute it.

The brigade staff member hung up the phone and replied excitedly:
"Brigadier Commander, the Independent Regiment won a great victory."

Although the Japanese aircraft have weak performance, they are numerous in number, and the pilots are experienced in many battles, so it is difficult to say whether they will win or lose.

"what happened?"

he asked.

"The radio is out of order and cannot be contacted. We don't know the reason yet."

The staff officer replied.

Although the Zero fighter has outstanding maneuverability, due to the Japanese's insufficient industrial capabilities and poor manufacturing level, the reliability of the aircraft is very poor, and problems often occur with the engine and radio.

At this time, the Zero fighter had landed on the ground, was slowing down, and slowly stopped on the designated apron.

Kanazheng looked at the unharmed Zero fighter in front of him and breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought that the Eighth Route Army had advanced fighter jets and launched an attack on the attack aircraft, causing the Locust Army aircraft to be forced to return. But now it seems that it is not the case. It was probably a mechanical failure and had to return.

Come to think of it,

How long has it been?

Although the performance of the seven Locust Army aircraft was not advanced enough, even if there were seven birds, the Eighth Route Army could not catch them all so quickly.

When the Zero fighter stopped, a group of Japs gathered around them.

"General."

Opening the cabin, Inada Shu saw his commander, staggered, climbed out of the cockpit, and cried on the spot:
"General!"

"what happened?"

Deng...Gana Shunzheng asked quickly. "They're all dead!"

The tearful Inada Hide continued to cry and shout:

"All dead!"

"They're all dead!"

"All dead?"

Gan Shunzheng was stunned.

Does this sentence mean that of the seven planes, only one flew back, the others were shot down, and even the pilot died?
"what happened?"

Although before setting off, he had expected the worst.

There may be heavy losses.

But only one returned, which was beyond his expectations.

"As soon as we entered the vicinity of the Eighth Route Army's Taihang base, we were attacked by Tubal aircraft."

"They attack from high altitude."

"They were too fast. It is estimated that the dive speed exceeded 800 kilometers per hour. We had no time to react. Their firepower was too strong. The other aircraft were directly hit and exploded."

"In the end, I was the only one who escaped."

Taking a deep breath, Inadaxiu finally regained his composure and reported the situation.

"A dive speed of eight hundred kilometers."

Kanazheng fell into silence.

The dive speed is 800 kilometers per hour, which is not a problem
As long as the altitude is sufficient, even an old-fashioned aircraft can dive to this speed.

The issue is.

After the aircraft reaches this speed, it will not lose control or break up.

Currently, none of the Locust Army's aircraft can do this. Even the toughest Type 98 dive bomber can only reach a dive speed of 700 kilometers.

If you continue to increase the speed, you will lose control or directly disintegrate.

The enemy can actually reach a diving speed of 800 kilometers.

Moreover, Hide Inada used the word "exceed". Based on Junmasa's flying experience, during combat, it is difficult to accurately estimate the speed of enemy aircraft, and they tend to underestimate it as much as possible.

Then, there is a high probability that the diving speed of the Eighth Route Army aircraft is more than 800 kilometers per hour.

"There's one more thing that's very wrong."

As a pilot and an elite pilot, there is no need to say much about his psychological quality. After experiencing the initial collapse, Inada Shu calmed down completely.

At this time, he carefully recalled the brief battle before, and suddenly discovered something was wrong.

After the second wave of attacks, he ordered the remaining three aircraft to disperse and retreat.

Although the two aircraft made the wrong choice at that time and climbed away.

Moreover, the performance of the enemy aircraft is very good.

But at that time, the enemy aircraft was still in a high-speed dive. Logically speaking, it would need a long and large trajectory to pull up and regain altitude.

He remembers it clearly.

There were a lot of clouds near the airspace that was attacked, especially between 3,000 and 6,000 meters.

And according to the radio sound.

The two climbing aircraft were shot down by the enemy within a few minutes.

At about this time, the enemy aircraft climbed to the attack altitude and then began to dive towards the target.

It was as if, through the clouds, the specific location of the Locust Army's fighter jets was known.

"That's it!"

When Hide Inada informed Kana Junmasa of the news, he sighed deeply.

Calm down.

When I heard a report from the local military industry department, the technology of the captured Eighth Route Army artillery, ammunition, and radios surpassed that of the Locust Army by twenty or even thirty years.

Ghana Shunzheng has expectations for the situation of the locust army in the future aviation struggle.

When I saw that Tubalu's twin-engine bombers could fly at super-altitudes at an altitude of fifty meters and a speed of 550 kilometers per hour.

He knew that his expectation might come true.

After all, the Air Force battle has the highest technical requirements among all services, and also has the most direct technical feedback.

He couldn't imagine what kind of technology an air force that was twenty years advanced would have, so it was understandable that there would be incomprehensible failures.

"You write a combat report and I will report to General Gangcun immediately."

After Gan Shunzheng finished speaking, he immediately walked towards the headquarters.

"Hi!"

Inadaxiu lowered his head.

"The empire will remember them. They are the glory of the empire! They are Locust's loyal ministers."

At this time, a staff officer suddenly shouted loudly, and then his tone changed:
"According to the plan, there will be another wave of attacks in the afternoon..."

"Ok?"

Garner frowned, looked at the senior air force staff officer with murderous eyes, and interrupted the staff officer:
"What did you say?"

Ghana Shun is a pure aviation person.

They are the people in the Japanese Air Force who hate the introduction of Bushido into the Air Force system the most.

In his view, Bushido not only failed to improve Air Force fighter jets, but instead made Air Force operations rigid and reduced efficiency.

He only knows how to sacrifice his life for the empire, and even takes jade as an honor. The stubborn morale trained in Bushido is seriously causing more harm than good to Lu Hang.

For example,
The Japanese staff officer in front of me.

Instead of thinking about the mistakes in heavy casualties, they used bushido as a means to weaken the morale impact of failure.

This is also one of the core reasons for the rigidity of the Army's combat system.

"Hi."

Facing Ghana's Shunzheng eyes, the Japanese staff officer lowered his head silently. (End of chapter)
