The Rise of the Great Powers in the War of Resistance

~-< >-~Chapter [-] Intense Air Battle

The telegram said that on the river near Yichang, it was attacked by six planes of the Chinese Air Force, and all three gunboats were sunk.The commander of the Tenth Army holding the telegram had such a gloomy face that he could wring out water, and the chief of staff of the Tenth Army next to him also had a serious face. The two of them never thought that there would be Chinese people near Yichang. airplane.

The commander of the [-]th Army of the little devil had a gloomy face, walked back and forth in his office several times, and then said to the chief of staff of the little devil, Sadao Nagata, "Mr. What do you think?"

"Hi," the little devil's chief of staff, Nagata Sadao, saw his commander asking him, immediately stood at attention and bowed down, and said very respectfully: "Your Excellency, I think these may be the few old-fashioned aircrafts left in China, maybe It's a plane flying from Chongqing."

"Well, I think so too." The commander of the Little Devil's Tenth Army also agreed, "The two reconnaissance planes we just disappeared a few hours ago, I think they are also related to these Chinese planes." [

"Your Excellency, Commander, I think these Chinese planes have already posed a threat to us, and we must resolutely annihilate them." The little devil's chief of staff, Nagata Sadao, suggested.

"Then send an order to the Sato Fighter Squadron at Wuhan Airport, order the Sato Fighter Squadron to take off to Yichang immediately, find those Chinese planes and annihilate them." The commander of the Tenth Army of the Little Devil immediately ordered.

"Hey, I'll call Sato Tatsuo right away." The little devil's chief of staff immediately bowed and saluted.

Ten minutes later, the Sato Fighter Squadron at the Little Devil Wuhan Airport was ready to take off. 10 Little Devil fighters were taking off one after another.

Tatsuo Sato, who had just taken the plane into the sky, was full of excitement. It had been a long time since there were any Chinese planes. This time, six planes appeared in Yichang at once. We must teach these Chinese planes a lesson later. Airplane, Tatsuo Sato thought excitedly.

After the 24 little devil planes took off, they completed the tactical formation in the air and flew towards Yichang.

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

At Yichang Airport, several staff members of the early warning radar station, as usual, were concentrating on watching the radar situation. Suddenly, a radar soldier's face changed, not good, and found that a large number of planes were flying towards Yichang.

After several early warning radar station staff confirmed that it was correct, they called the command room of Yichang Airport as soon as possible. Immediately, a sharp siren sounded at Yichang Airport. Mustang fighter jets at the airport run away.

"Everyone, pay attention, there are 24 enemy planes coming from the east, all the Mustang fighter jets have been launched into the camp, and the early warning aircraft have also been launched to alert." Gao Zhihang was at the headquarters, holding the microphone in front of him, and loudly ordered.

Due to the urgency of the situation, it was too late to ask Zhang Yunfei for instructions. Gao Zhihang didn't get through Zhang Yunfei's phone until after all the planes were ordered to take off for combat, and reported the situation to Zhang Yunfei.

After answering the call, Zhang Yunfei was also in a serious mood. The little devil is aggressive. He dispatched 24 fighter jets in one breath. The 24 fighter jets should account for half of all fighter jets at Wuhan Airport. The little devil is really generous.

Zhang Zizhong, who was next to him, heard that 24 little ghost planes had come to attack him, and secretly sweated for Zhang Yunfei, wondering whether Gao Zhihang's flying team could withstand the attack of the little devil planes.

At Yichang Airport, 16 pilots skillfully boarded the 16 Mustang fighter jets that were neatly parked on the airport. Everyone started the engines one after another and drove to the runway one after another. One after another, the Mustang fighter jets taxied on the runway and rose to the blue sky. After completing the formation in the air, fly to the direction where the little devil's plane is attacking.

Most of the 24 planes that the little devils attacked this time were Nakajima 97 fighter jets equipped with two 7>

The Nakajima 97 fighter is more advanced than the Nakajima 91 fighter previously equipped by the Japanese Army. The Nakajima 97 fighter is a single-engine, single-seat light fighter developed by the Japanese Army in the late 1930s. Monoplane structure fighter.

The commander of the 97th Army of the little devil immediately dispatched most of the Nakajima Type [-] fighter jets at Wuhan Airport. It can be seen that just now the Chinese planes bombed and sank the three gunboats of the little devil, which made the commander of the little devil anxious. The commander wanted to save face in a hurry and shot down those Chinese planes.

The little devil's aircraft squadron, maintaining an altitude of about 5000 meters, is flying to Yichang Airport at a speed of about 300 kilometers per hour. The first team leader chatted relaxedly through the wireless handset.

"Fujita-kun, our commander really made a big fuss. Just a few Chinese planes actually dispatched our squadron. This reminds me of an old Chinese saying, "How can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife." Tatsuo Sato was a little worried. Sao' said. [

"Hey, Your Excellency Squadron Leader, when we find those Chinese planes, we must tease these Chinese pilots and let them know how powerful the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force is." The captain of the little devil's plane Said arrogantly.

"Fujita-kun, that's a good idea. We'll do it later." After speaking, Tatsuo Sato laughed arrogantly, as if the planes of the Chinese squadron were already fish on the cutting board, ready to be slaughtered .

The little devil's air force is too arrogant. Since entering China to fight, it has hardly encountered effective resistance from the Chinese air force. For a long time, the little devil's air force has been flying in China's airspace at will. When there is a war, it often bullies the ground Go to the Chinese Army.

This has led to the arrogance and arrogance of the Little Devils Air Force, and it is the same today. All the pilots of the Little Devils believe that if their 24 planes go to deal with 6 Chinese planes, it must be a sure win.

The whereabouts of the little devil's plane, under the monitoring of the air early warning aircraft, there is nowhere to hide. 16 Mustang fighter jets maintained an altitude of 8000 meters, and quietly completed a detour behind the little devil's fleet. Twenty or thirty kilometers ahead is the little devil's. The fighter squadron is gone.

At this time, there are no missiles yet, machine guns are used in air combat, and fighter jets generally can only fire forward. If an enemy plane suddenly arrives from behind, then the plane will be tragic, and it will only be beaten, unless it can get rid of it smoothly. plane behind.

"Everyone pay attention, everyone pay attention, the little devil plane is 20 kilometers ahead, flying at an altitude of 5 kilometers, everyone is ready to fight." The voice of the commander on the early warning aircraft came from the radio microphones of all the Mustang fighter pilots.

All the Mustang fighter pilots looked at the front of them intently, looking for the trace of the little devil plane. Within a few minutes, everyone saw the figure of the little devil plane ahead.

At this time, the little devil's plane was completely unaware that there were a large number of Chinese planes approaching quietly behind him.

The Chinese fighter planes that came quietly are already less than 1000 meters away from the little devil's fleet, and soon the little devil's plane will enter the range of the Mustang plane.The little devil's fighter squadron leader Tatsuo Sato felt faintly uneasy, but he couldn't explain why this feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

Tatsuo Sato habitually turned his head and looked back. This look almost made Tatsuo Sato's heart jump out of fright. He saw at least a dozen Chinese fighter planes approaching quietly behind his fleet. Several planes in my own fleet have already entered the range of Chinese fighter jets.

Not good, Tatsuo Sato yelled in the radio immediately, "Everyone be careful, there are a lot of enemy planes behind us." After speaking, Tatsuo Sato quickly drove his fighter plane and started to get rid of it.

But at this time, Tatsuo Sato's reminder was a little late. Several Chinese fighter planes had already aimed at the planes behind the little devil's fleet. It bounced and fell to the ground with thick smoke.

The pilot of the little devil was still extremely arrogant and arrogant just now. At this moment, he suddenly heard the anxious cry of his squadron leader. Many little devils flew their planes and began to maneuver, or climb, or dive, or make a sharp turn. Attempt to get rid of the Chinese planes behind as soon as possible, so as to occupy a favorable position and fight back.

But the maximum flight speed of the little devil's plane is only 460 kilometers, while the maximum flight speed of the Mustang fighter exceeds 700 kilometers. At this time, the difference between the two planes is obvious.

16 Mustang fighter jets, pinpointed their target and held on tight, and as soon as there was a chance to aim, they fired at the little devil plane in front of them. In the sky, dozens of planes immediately fought together, but look Going up, the Mustang fighter has the absolute upper hand.

Tatsuo Sato, the leader of the Little Devils Fighter Squadron, was also bitten by a Mustang fighter numbered 005. Sato Tatsuo, who was driving the Nakajima Type 97 fighter jet, had already performed several tactics in a row by virtue of his skilled driving skills. Maneuvering, but still unable to get rid of the Chinese fighter plane behind him, his Nakajima Type 97 fighter jet has always been within the range of the Chinese fighter plane behind him.

The Chinese fighter plane behind has already fired several times. Tatsuo Sato's Nakajima Type 97 fighter jet has been punched with several bullet holes. Fortunately, the vital points of the plane were not concentrated. If Tatsuo Sato had rich experience, he would have been killed. shot down.

Tatsuo Sato, who had been flying the plane trying to get rid of it, failed to get rid of the Chinese fighter plane behind him after several consecutive maneuvers. Tatsuo Sato began to panic, thinking, is this a Chinese plane?How could it be more advanced and excellent than the planes of the Empire.
