Chapter 148 The situation is over

Liu Xiu and the others took turns flying the plane to swoop and shoot at the charging Japs.

It also gave the little devils a taste of the horror of being strafed and bombed by fighter planes.

At this time, the anti-aircraft weapons of the little devils were not much better than those of the Eighth Route Army. Apart from using light machine guns and rifles to shoot into the sky, there was no other way.

The dozen fighter planes Liu Xiu brought this time were all equipped with two 50-kilogram explosive packages.

The explosion power of this fifty kilogram explosive package is much more powerful than that of a 150mm howitzer.

Moreover, only one side of the hillside where Wei Dayong stayed was suitable for charging. Therefore, as long as the Japs charged on that hillside, the fighter planes on Liu Xiu's side would swoop down and fire. The fire was so large that no one could dodge. open.

And Liu Xiu is currently circling in the air, trying to find the commander of the regiment and give him a 50-kilogram bomb!

It's just that the commander of the little devil's unit was hidden quite deep. Liu Xiu had circled around for several times and still couldn't find the commander of the little devil's unit.

This couldn't help but make Liu Xiuhuai miss the Bantian Alliance. It would be great if the captain of this alliance, like Captain Bantian, built his command center on the top of a high hillside!

The battle situation remained at a stalemate. During this period, the Little Japanese side, apart from constantly urging them to charge, did not send any more fighter planes to attack Liu Xiu's fighters.

The situation became so stalemate that it ended two hours later with the arrival of the gyrocopter.

However, while Liu Xiu was making arrangements for the treatment of Duan Peng and Wei Dayong, Yoshio Shinozuka was staring at a pile of broken wood and scrap metal in a daze.

But the production of Maxim machine guns is not easy.

After Yoshio Shinozuka watched for a long time, he asked an adjutant next to him:

"Have the technicians seen the structure of the plane on Route 8?"

You must know that the aircraft itself is still a trivial matter, and the biggest loss is the Maxim machine gun. After all, the fuselage of the aircraft is made of wood. For an experienced carpenter, it is just a waste of time!

Duan Peng, who was rescued, felt that he didn't know how to deal with Liu Xiu's embarrassing situation. He had made a vow before departure, but after departure, the ending of Zhong Kui's fighter plane being wiped out by the Japs was really hard to explain. .

That's right, this pile of broken wood and rotten iron is the remains of the Cricket fighter jet shot down by the little devils.

Liu Xiu was not embarrassed by Duan Peng's behavior, he just waved his hand and said:

"Okay! This time the Japs are flying Type II Zhongkui fighters. It's normal for you not to check for a while. Let's each write a 3,000-word battle report to talk about the mistakes in this battle and Ways to improve!”

"Captain! I..."

Although Liu Xiu successfully brought Wei Dayong and Duan Peng back, it was a bit uncomfortable. After all, eight fighters were lost this time!

...............

Facing the powerful fighter planes on Liu Xiu's side, it was naturally impossible for the Japs to let their fighters go without studying them.

"Hi! The technical experts said that the entire aircraft of the Eighth Route Army is made of wood and mortise and tenon structure. If the speed is too high, there is a great risk of disintegration, and the power system is two turbocharged engines. It has a two-stroke engine, and as for its weapons, it only has a Maxim machine gun.”

Regarding such a configuration, Yoshio Shinozuka asked in disbelief:

"With such a configuration, how did our excellent pilots get defeated?" At this time, the adjutant on the side returned:

"They had installed a supercharger before, so when dealing with our Type 1 fighters, they used to pull up to escape, then occupy a high altitude and then conduct a dive attack, just like the US Army's Mustang fighter jets used to deal with our Zero fighters.

This time we used the Type II Zhongkui fighter jets with superchargers. At first they used the method of pulling up to escape and were wiped out by us. However, the fighters that came later used conventional combat methods and took advantage of small aircraft with small turning radius. The advantages caught us off guard! "

The adjutant's words also made Yoshio Shinozuka understand that this time it was their fighter pilots who suffered a loss that they did not understand. If they must fight at close range when facing such an aircraft, they would instead look for opportunities to confront them head-on and compare firepower. The more defensive approach is the correct approach.

However, Yoshio Shinozuka looked at the wreckage of the plane here, especially its fuselage, which was still made of wood.

So the current situation naturally came to mind. You must know that Yoshio Shinozuka was extremely opposed to starting a war with the American army.

He understands the industrial strength of the United States and also understands that the United States is rich in resources, so he is not willing to go to war with such an established industrial power.

Therefore, Yoshio Shinozuka's plan is to gradually erode the country in the east that has not yet entered the industrialization era. After the resources and manpower obtained from this country are completely transformed, it will be the best place to compete with the United States in the peace of mind. Good timing.

But at this point, it was too late for Liu Xiu to think about anything. The best way now was to see if there were any remedial measures.

Thinking of this, Yoshio Shinozuka asked the adjutant:

"You think if we copy this wooden fighter plane, can it change our current situation? After all, I think it doesn't take much time to make this wooden fighter plane! More importantly, it doesn't take much material! Is it wood! This Aren’t they everywhere!”

However, regarding Shinozuka Yoshio's proposal, the adjutant beside him thought for a moment before shaking his head and saying:

"Actually, this is not a good idea. Although this aircraft has many advantages, it saves materials and is easy to make. But nowadays, the fuselage of the aircraft is made of metal materials. The technical experts also said before that the strength of the wooden aircraft fuselage is Not enough to easily disintegrate at high altitude. And..."

"And you don't have to worry about anything!"

After hearing Yoshio Shinozuka's words, the adjutant finally plucked up the courage and said:

"And Your Excellency, you are going to the reserve service soon! So why bother worrying so much!"

Shinozuka Yoshio did not get angry when he heard this but nodded. In fact, his adjutant was right. The successive defeats and blows made Shinozuka Yoshio lose his original ambition at all.

For example, his most optimistic Yamamoto Kazuki failed from the initial assault on the Eighth Route Army, and then was finally besieged in Ping An County. This turned all the bets of Shinozuka Yoshio into a bubble.

In fact, although it was only the end of 1943, Yoshio Shinozuka could already see that their situation was over.

Several years of aggressive wars seemed to have achieved a considerable advantage, but in fact they had exhausted all the young adults within them. Now the new recruits who have been added are all fifteen or sixteen year olds.

So Yoshio Shinozuka could only wave his hand and said:

"In this case, let's burn all the debris!"

After saying that, Yoshio Shinozuka left with his hands behind his back. The adjutant looked at Yoshio Shinozuka's back and just sighed indifferently. As Yoshio Shinozuka deposed, his status naturally followed. Got off.
