New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

Xiaosong immediately gave up and continued to climb at a large angle, and began to switch to level flight to increase speed and recover energy.The two sides are still flying towards each other.Komatsu estimated that if everyone continued to fly like this, when the two sides approached, his plane should have a chance to shoot at the enemy by pulling up suddenly.As far as the weapons used by both sides are concerned, the cannons on the American fighter jets have a higher muzzle velocity, a straighter ballistic trajectory, and higher accuracy at long distances. Head-on shooting should be more beneficial to the US military.But now, the quality of Japanese pilots has declined so quickly that they have little chance to fire on American fighter jets in normal combat.Many rookies didn't even have a chance to fire at the enemy from the time they were lifted into the air to when they were shot down.Therefore, although head-on shooting is theoretically not good for Japanese fighters, it can at least give poor Japanese pilots a chance to fire at the enemy.So, up to now, head-on shooting has become the favorite situation of Japanese pilots, which happens to be the same as when the war first started.

But now, U.S. military pilots are no longer willing to shoot head-to-head with the Japanese.Although the exchange ratio of head-on shooting is still more beneficial to the US military, the exchange ratio that can be obtained after avoiding head-on shooting is more beneficial to the United States.You must know that at the level of some Japanese pilots, it is difficult to maintain a level flight, and all kinds of problems really pop up in one movement.

For example, in terms of hovering alone, the Japanese's Zero Fighter and Ki-43 are obviously better than any American fighter, but those rookie pilots can't even beat the Americans in hovering.When they are circling, they tend to act too aggressively because they are eager for success, and as a result, they stall and enter the spiral, and then they do not have the technology to recover from the spiral. As a result, the Americans even save bullets, and the Japanese are shot down.

But Komatsu soon found out that his calculation might be wrong.Because the speed of the enemy plane on the opposite side exceeded his expectations.Leading in front of the American fighter group were three squadrons of P-81 fighters.This kind of fighter jet was rarely used in the Pacific battlefield before, so the Japanese army was not familiar with this kind of aircraft.Compared with those single-engine aircraft, the p-4000 with two double wasps and a total horsepower of more than 81 is not particularly superior to the single-engine propeller fighter jets in terms of maximum speed because of the limitation of propeller efficiency at high speed. If it is obvious, then, in terms of acceleration performance, the advantage of the p-81 fighter jet over other single-engine propeller fighter jets is too obvious.In terms of acceleration alone, the maximum acceleration that the p-81 can achieve is even close to twice that of the p-51.Such a powerful acceleration ability far exceeds any fighter jet that Komatsu has seen before.The acceleration ability of the Type 81 Haifeng fighter that Komatsu himself piloted is already the best among the Japanese aircraft, but compared with the acceleration ability of the P-[-] fighter, it is not known how much worse it is.As a result, when the two sides approached a certain distance, Komatsu found that his fighter hadn't accumulated enough energy for him to pull up and shoot the Americans head-on. He also pulled the nose a little bit, allowing the plane to climb a little higher.

In this way, the fighter jets of both sides passed by each other, without firing a single shell at each other.But the next move became the key.Just as the two sides staggered, Major Lordel made a 180-degree roll, then pulled the joystick and dived down.

If there is enough energy, Komatsu and his wingmen can pull up vertically and engage in a vertical confrontation with Major Lordel's p-81.But with the current state of energy, doing so would almost kill him.Therefore, Komatsu can only make a small g-value turn to the left side, so as to keep seeing the enemy plane behind him continuously, so that he can take defensive actions at any time.

Lordel swooped to the rear of the Japanese fighter at 6 o'clock and then pulled up. Relying on the high speed obtained from the dive, he quickly approached the enemy plane.The circling radius of the Type 81 Haifeng fighter jet is much smaller than that of the P-81, so in theory Komatsu can rely on a small-radius horizontal circling to avoid Lodel's attack.But this is only in theory. In actual combat, the timing of making this turn is not easy to grasp.If the steering is too early, people will pull it up, and a Gao Youyou can still bite your six o'clock, and consume less energy than you.The turn is a little later, because the p-90 rolls surprisingly well, and there is a good chance that someone can complete such a roll and enter the turn first before you complete the preparatory action of the sharp turn-the 81-degree roll, so that When you start to turn, he can rely on this timing advantage to get a shot.Considering the powerful firepower of the p-[-], one shot may be fatal.Of course, turning a little later, um, the result is to be shot down by someone directly with a long shot.

Komatsu is an "experienced pilot" with nearly [-] flying hours. This number of flying hours is an absolute rookie number in the US military, but in the current Japanese army, he can definitely be regarded as an old pilot. .You know, his wingman's flight hours are only forty hours.For a pilot with such a small amount of flying time, it is very difficult to accurately grasp such an opportunity when he is basically ignorant of the performance of the enemy aircraft.Generally speaking, out of fear, pilots in an unfavorable position tend to make such an action in advance.However, Xiao Song kept suppressing his fear, constantly looking back at the distance between the enemy plane and himself, and calculating the time for his actions.Being able to do this actually shows that Komatsu is quite talented as a fighter pilot.If given enough time, he may also grow into a very deadly ace for the enemy.

But now, the Americans will not give him such time.When Komatsu decided to start turning, it was a bit late in timing. When he completed a 90-degree roll and then yanked the control lever to enter a sharp turn, a series of dense 20mm shells had already been fired. In a blink of an eye, Komatsu's five-type blast fighter has been hit by five or six 20mm shells.The shells tore through the skin of Komatsu's fighter, splitting its right wing in two.Another shell directly hit Komatsu's cockpit, ending all of Komatsu's fear and pain.

Almost at the same time, Lodel's wingman also bit Komatsu's wingman, and knocked out the vertical tail and left tail of the plane with a string of shells.The plane also spun and fell.

Because the Japanese mistakenly interpreted the U.S. fighter jets as bombers, their fighter jets did not contact the enemy at the same time, but successively.There was a difference of nearly half an hour between the first batch of Japanese fighter jets that encountered U.S. fighter jets and the last batch of Japanese fighter jets that came into contact with U.S. fighter jets.Therefore, although the total number of Japanese fighter jets exceeds that of the U.S. military, the number of any batch is much smaller than that of American fighter jets.This gave the US military every opportunity to defeat them.They are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, the technical level of pilots is at an absolute disadvantage, the performance of fighter jets is also at an absolute disadvantage, and they are still at an absolute disadvantage in terms of flight situation.This led to a massacre of Japanese pilots that was even more tragic than the Mariana turkey hunt.

Within half a minute after Lordel and his wingmen each shot down a Japanese plane, the U.S. fighter jet formation shot down all 16 fighter jets in Komatsu's flying formation without any loss!

This change almost stunned the Japanese. The little sheep turned into a big tiger all of a sudden, and the hungry wolf that opened its teeth and claws suddenly turned into a little fat sheep ready to be slaughtered.So over Tokyo, the radio became a mess for a while, and in the Japanese army's channel, there were shouts like this everywhere:

"Attention, attention, the enemy is not a bomber, it is a fighter! It is a fighter!"

"Tonghua Formation, turn to the direction of 096 and join Qianben Formation! Please reply!"

"Call the headquarters! I found the enemy's new heavy fighter jet, which is extremely fast and climbs extremely fast! Everyone be careful!"

"He bit me! Who will help me drive him away! Ah..."

"I was hit!"

The Japanese actually wanted to avoid the war altogether, but the terrible thing was that the airspace of the battle at this time was already in the sky above Tokyo City.Countless Tokyo citizens who survived the catastrophe are watching the battle with their heads held high.At this time, if the imperial army's plane fled on the watchful wind, the impact would be too bad.As a result, Japanese fighter jets still had to be constantly thrown into the battle.So the people watching the battle below will have "eyes".

"Long live! Another fight! Long live!" On the streets of Tokyo, those onlookers cheered.

"Long live! Another one! Long live! Long live the Emperor! Kill the American ghost!...Ah, another one is smoking!"

A fighter plane fell down with flames, and some were even turned into fireworks directly in the air. The battle was carried out at an altitude of more than 7000 meters. Visible.But how can ordinary civilians tell which fighter jet was hit or shot down?At this time, a person with only one arm said: "Are all the downed planes American planes? Can you tell them apart? I think they are Japanese planes." Immediately, there was a lot of scolding:

"You non-citizen! What nonsense are you talking about!"

"How could the Great Japanese Empire lose? It must be all American planes!"

"Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before? Police! There is a suspicious guy here!"

At this time, a parachute floated down leisurely.

"An American ghost has landed! Go and kill him!" So everyone ran towards the direction where the parachute fell, except for the "non-citizen" who was still standing there.

"What a bunch of fools!" the man exclaimed, "That parachute is obviously a Japanese-style parachute!"
