Glorious Mission 1937

It is precisely because of the lessons learned from the last big air battle that the top Japanese military has realized a more serious problem, that is, although the Zero fighter they have given high hopes for is better than the Hawker 2, Hawker 3 and Yi-15 equipped by the Chinese Air Force. The 16 and [-] fighters are all powerful, but they are much worse than the new fighters of the Northern China Air Force, so the headquarters ordered Horikoshi Jiro to immediately improve the Zero fighters.

Not long ago, Horikoshi Jiro finally handed over a satisfactory answer to the base camp. The zero-type improved Type 52, the wingspan was shortened to 11 meters, and the speed increased to 560 kilometers per hour.Although the flexibility has decreased due to the increase in machine weight, the survivability of the "Zero" Type 52 has been greatly improved.

After the test flight, the Japanese base camp was very satisfied with this improved Type Zero aircraft. At the same time, the Japanese base camp should have given high hopes to this new type of aircraft, and regarded it as the only magic weapon to restrain China's new fighter jets.

Since it is an improved version of the Zero fighter, it is only necessary to make some minor modifications and adjustments to the production line of the original Zero fighter. Therefore, the Japanese army's new fighter quickly achieved mass production and gave priority to equipment for the North China Front Army.

However, when Lieutenant General Toshiki Kinoshita, the commander-in-chief of the North China Front Army Aviation Group, watched the flight performance of the new fighter, he felt a little cold in his heart.All the events of the last big air battle are still vivid in his mind, and the figure of the new type of fighter equipped by the Chinese people at that time still remains in his mind. He has been in the army for decades, but he has never seen such a fast plane.

Although the new type of fighter produced by the empire is also very good, it can be called a relatively advanced fighter in the world. It is much more advanced than the Soviet fighter in the Nomenkan Battle, but Lieutenant General Toshiki Kinoshita does not think that this new type of fighter is capable. In order to restrain the new fighter planes of the Chinese, he ignored the suggestions of his subordinates and reported his judgment to the front army headquarters.

Hayao Tada still knew about the last disastrous defeat of the Air Force, even though he hadn't taken office in the North China Front Army at that time.But he still knows the specific situation, because that air force fiasco aroused the high attention of the high-level empire.The headquarters' attitude towards this matter is to demand a thorough investigation of this matter, no matter what the reason is, it must be found out, so many insiders Tada Hayao is still very clear about my beautiful fairy teacher.

The more clear this matter is.Tada Junyue was cautious. He didn't think that his luck would be better than His Excellency Bin Shanyuan. Since the Chinese could cause irreparable and heavy losses to the Imperial Army Aviation at that time, it was possible to defeat these new fighters.Therefore, although Tada Hayao agreed to send aviation troops to participate in the war, he prohibited bombers with extremely poor protection capabilities from accompanying him. He wanted to determine whether the new fighter planes could restrain the Chinese air force.

On November 11, the first major air battle between the two sides started over Gaoyi County, Hebei Province.The Japanese didn't know that the staggered peak work was equipped with early warning radar, so they didn't know that their so-called raid was just a joke in the staggered peak work, when more than 15 new Japanese fighter planes had just taken off from Beiping Nanyuan Airport.The Northern Air Force Command, which received the report from the radar soldiers, responded quickly. A fighter brigade quickly took off from Datong Airport and rushed to Gaoyi to intercept the Japanese air force. [

At nine o'clock in the morning, when the ground battle was in full swing, there was a sudden hum of aircraft engines in the sky, and then a group of Japanese fighter planes swooped down towards the battlefield.What the Japanese pilots who wanted to make an assault did not expect was that although the Chinese army on the ground showed a certain degree of panic, they seemed to have been prepared. A series of anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns quickly removed the camouflage covering their bodies. net.Then the ground air defense force opened fire quickly. Caught off guard, the Japanese air force suffered a big loss. Two new fighter planes were shot down and three others were injured.

The pilots of the Japanese air force did not dare to be negligent, and immediately raised the nose of the plane, and quickly let the car climb to avoid being shot down by the Chinese air force.

However, to the horror of the Japanese pilots, just as they quickly raised the nose of the plane, they found that just above them, a group of Chinese fighter planes were rushing towards them, and the cannons installed under the wings of the Chinese fighter planes were exposed. The black muzzle, before they could react, machine guns seemed to be fired from them.

"Boom boom boom!"

The Japanese pilots had a tragedy. More than 30 fighter planes were destroyed in the first round of attacks. It was right that they were destroyed, not shot down.For the pilots, being shot down is not terrible. As long as the reaction is good enough and the luck is not too bad, they can at least survive. If they are lucky, they can even escape back to the base camp without being captured by the enemy.

But the destruction is different. It is a naked destruction. It was blown up in the air at a height of several thousand meters or even tens of thousands of meters. The fighter plane disintegrated directly. The pilots did not even have the minimum reaction time. , was burned to death or fell to death as a free fall from a height of tens of thousands of meters.

I'm sorry, although the Japanese army improved the Zero fighter to greatly enhance its battlefield survivability, the biggest problem with the Zero is that it didn't leave enough room for upgrades when it was originally designed. Big engine, and small-sized engine is technically difficult to increase the power, and the power increase is limited, so the improved Zero type, although replaced with a smaller engine with higher power, but the unit power has not increased, and the fighting performance has not been improved. And continue to improve anti-decline.

In comparison, the performance of the J-5 fighters and J-6 fighters under Chen Feng's command is much more powerful. The flying speed close to the speed of sound is the nemesis of the Japanese Zero fighter and its improved version. The performance is no better than the performance of the National Government's Hawker 3 destroyer encountering the Zero fighter.

After the fighter jet brigade under Chen Feng arrived at the battlefield, the Japanese air force completely became the green leaves to set off the red flowers and completely became a supporting role. This big air battle lasted for 45 minutes, and 108 of the 69 invading fighter planes were shot down, and 19 were shot down. 20 aircraft were damaged, and less than [-] aircraft returned safely. However, the northern air force in the eighth war zone had only two records. The Japanese fighter plane hit the fuel tank and exploded. One pilot died and one was injured. Nevertheless, the northern air force still won the air battle Big win.

The victory of the air force directly stimulated the morale of the ground army. On the other hand, the morale of the Japanese defenders on the ground was extremely low.Xu Fufu is also an excellent commander. He immediately discovered the subtle changes on the battlefield, and immediately used the prestige of the air force to order the troops to increase their offensive strength, and must capture Gaoyi County.

At [-]:[-] noon, the defenders of Gaoyi County completely collapsed. Under the command of Commander Yamada Hara, they quickly broke through to the south and retreated to Xingtai in an emergency.

Ps:

I have something to do at home today, so Chapter 2 is a bit short, sorry!
