Special Forces of Crossing: Cloud's Anti-Japanese

Chapter 2178 Defects of the Golden Eagle

The two cannons on both sides of the nose of Zhang Xiaolin's Golden Eagle spit out flames at the same time, and two shiny ballistics shot out. Danmu's Zero Fighter, which was entering a rollover state, suddenly collapsed in the sight of its wingman pilot. At the same time, a series of flames erupted from the belly of the aircraft, and in the next moment, a huge ball of fire exploded in the belly of the aircraft, and the Zero Fighter broke into two burning pieces and fell to the ground.

In fact, Zhang Xiaolin did not deliberately attack the Japanese command plane first, but in any case, the death of the commander was a huge blow to the fighter brigade.Panic was already pervasive in the team, and after Danmu's death, the other devils panicked even more.After Danmu, the command responsibility of this fighter brigade naturally fell to his deputy, Captain Muramae Izuzo. However, no matter in terms of flying skills or command experience, Muramae and Danmu were not comparable.Danmu's wingman shouted "Your Excellency Danmu's jade is broken", and the next moment, the Japanese army's command channel was full of clamor.Some shouted slogans to avenge Danmu, some appealed for help, and some people inquired about the "Golden Eagle"...

Before Danmu's death, although the Japanese army was passive, they still maintained their formation, and once Danmu died, the Japanese army's formation immediately became chaotic.This kind of confusion was captured by Zhang Xiaolin and his experienced aviation veterans, and they naturally couldn't waste it.So Danmu died on his front foot, and the next moment the fierce offensive of the Xuebing army came.Except for Zhang Xiaolin who was still obsessed with attacking with machine guns, the other eleven Golden Eagles all attacked the Japanese plane with air-to-air missiles.

As the first-generation jet fighter, the Golden Eagle's attack methods are actually not rich, that is, it has more short-range air-to-air missiles than ordinary fighters.Due to the influence of the production capacity of the arsenal under the jurisdiction of the Xuebing Research and Development Institute, each Golden Eagle can only mount two short-range air-to-air missiles. In comparison, it only has one more attack method and two more short-range air-to-air missiles than ordinary fighters. Additional attack opportunities.The hit rate of short-range air-to-air missiles is not as prominent as it appeared on the surface when it first went into attack.

The reason why the three air-to-air missiles launched at the beginning were two out of three, I have to thank Danmu for the reason.It was precisely because of Danmu's order to maintain a tight formation that the Japanese planes did not dare to escape recklessly, so the Japanese planes made evasive actions within a limited range, but instead gave the Tianlei series of air-to-air missiles a chance to play.

Once Danmu died, when Cizang in front of the village could not establish command authority, the little devils fought on their own. When facing the attack of air-to-air missiles, they began to flee desperately. Instead, they just took advantage of the range of the Tianlei series of air-to-air missiles. Shorter downside.So after a dazzling flight "performance", only four of the nearly thirty fighters were finally hit by missiles.The rest were lucky enough to escape the "chasing rockets".

As soon as the cadet aviation soldiers came up, they used missiles to attack the Japanese aircraft unscrupulously. This was because Xue Changkong had made such a request to them at the pre-war mobilization meeting, hoping that they would help the research and development institute to test the performance of the Tianlei series of air-to-air missiles through actual combat. Accumulate data for their improvement.So after this round of attacks, of the twelve golden eagles, only the one driven by Zhang Xiaolin had two missiles left, and the others were only conventional air combat weapons such as cannons.

Twenty-two air-to-air missiles shot down six Japanese planes. Such an achievement would definitely not satisfy Xuebing R&D Institute. After all, the manufacturing cost of missiles is too expensive, and the cost of one missile is almost equal to the cost of one engine of Baiji.However, in Zhang Xiaolin's view, air-to-air missiles have already played their role.Because after this round of blows, the Japanese aircraft formation was completely disrupted.And the chaos of the Japanese machine formation means that the golden eagle can then use its speed advantage unscrupulously.

The progress of the battle verified Zhang Xiaolin's inference. In the next battle, although the Japanese army still had an absolute numerical advantage, if they were well organized, they could have picked one out of two, but the result was one-sided.Of course, this has something to do with the poor command level in front of the village.He failed to restore order from beginning to end, and in the end gave Zhang Xiaolin and the others a chance to hunt.By the time another fighter brigade from the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army arrived at the battlefield from Yangzhou, there were only eleven of the 36 Japanese aircraft left, and the Xuebing Army only lost three Golden Eagles.Three Golden Eagles were damaged in the battle, one was accidentally shot by a friendly plane, one was because it flew over the head and crashed into the encirclement of the three zero battles, and the other was because of an engine failure As a result, an air stop occurred, which was caught by a Japanese plane next to it.

A brigade of Japanese fighter jets suddenly appeared in a neat formation in the northwest direction of the battlefield. Zhang Xiaolin judged the situation and decided to retreat first, leaving the next battle to the baiji reinforcements to complete.The battle lasted about 10 minutes. Although they achieved a good record, they also exposed many problems.Among them, the unstable performance of the jet engine is one of them. Another very important problem is that the flying time of the cadet aviation is not enough. They can control the golden eagle strictly according to the dogma at the beginning, but after a long time, they will habitually return. The driving method of the propeller fighter is the direct cause of the destruction of the two golden eagles.In addition, the control of jet fighters has extremely high requirements on aviation, and there is no room for slack and negligence for a second. Zhang Xiaolin made this decision because he was worried that his brothers would not be able to bear it physically and mentally.

Zhang Xiaolin and the others withdrew from the battlefield, and it didn't take long for the baiji dolphins from a division of the Fujian Aviation Corps to kill the battlefield one after another.So this air battle not only did not die down, but it became more and more intense.As a brigade of fifty special attack aircraft dispatched by the Japanese Navy's joint fleet rushed to the battlefield, this air battle began to attract widespread attention.

On the side of the Xuebing Army, after the Fujian Aviation Corps, the Zhejiang Aviation Corps also killed them.Unlike Xue Changkong who only sent twelve golden eagles and acted cautiously, Zhuang Houzhong, the commander of the Zhejiang Aviation Corps, sent a large group of golden eagles.

The fleet of [-] special attack aircraft released by the Japanese combined fleet rushed to the battlefield first, and Narumi Inoue sent [-] special attack aircraft to participate in the battle. It was originally for the golden eagle, so the captain of the brigade, Isao Kobayashi, did not find the golden eagle on the battlefield. He then ordered his troops to stay in the airspace to the east of the battlefield, and was not in a hurry to join the battle.

The performance of the fifty special attack aircraft in the Celebes Sea naval battle has attracted the attention of the Xuebing Army, so although they did not enter the battle, they still attracted the attention of the commanders of the Xuebing Army.The combat aircraft fleet dispatched by the Fujian Aviation Corps was commanded by Lai Delu, the commander of the 303 Fighter Division. In order to prevent this devil from causing mischief, he specially set aside a brigade of Baiji dolphins for surveillance and reported to Xue Changkong at the same time.

After Xue Changkong received the report, he immediately called Zhuang Houzhong and reminded him at the same time: "The little devil's [-] special attack aircraft should be for our golden eagle, so Liu Xuefeng and the others should be careful."

The reinforcements dispatched by Zhuang Houzhong were commanded by Liu Xuefeng, the commander of the 201 Fighter Division of the Zhejiang Aviation Corps.

Zhuang Houzhong immediately reminded Liu Xuefeng through the ground communication station.

After Liu Xuefeng received the notice, he did not dare to take it lightly. He ordered to adjust the formation when he was [-] kilometers away from the battlefield, changing the previous dense diamond formation into a loose square formation, and let a squadron of Baiji dolphins open the way in front. Order the entire combat group to approach the airport.
