Just as Ron and the others went to ambush the second wave of the Japanese attack group, the first wave of the Japanese attack group also came to the sky above Kuah Island. It is rare that there are no interceptions by fighter jets along the way. Ikeda, who is now leading the team, overlooked the airport from the air and found that there was not a single plane on the air. Obviously, those timid beautiful animals ran away as soon as they found out that the imperial army had a numerical advantage.

Six bombers dropped bombs on the runway. However, Ikeda knew that the bomb would not be able to destroy the airport, and that as soon as the fleet left, it would take less than an hour for all the craters to be filled in and the airport could be restored. But fortunately, there was a second wave, and there were a full 30 bombers there. It's still not enough to destroy the airfield, but at least it's going to take it down for a few days. With these few days, the Navy will be able to transport more troops, more heavy weapons, to the island.

The height of these bombers when they cast eggs was about 2,000 meters, and no matter how low they were, the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the ground could easily reach them. No matter how high it is, the accuracy will be greatly reduced. But anyway, bombing the runway, the target is large, and it is still easy to attack.

One bomb after another was dropped, and immediately there were several large black craters on the runway, which looked like festering wounds from the air, which was very ugly. Several medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns began to fire. The shells exploded into black roses in the air.

The fleet will continue to suppress the airfield until the second wave of planes arrives (a) [read] the novel YBDU. Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, and if you can't find enemy aircraft, then let's attack ground targets. First of all, those anti-aircraft guns that opened fire.

Fighters are actually not too afraid of medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns, of course, if such anti-aircraft guns are hit once, it is estimated that any fighter will directly return to the state of parts. However, this type of anti-aircraft gun has a low rate of fire and rotates slowly, making it always difficult to deal with smaller, high-speed, high-agility targets such as fighters. So several fighters dived towards these medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Of course, the 7.7 machine gun bullet could not destroy the anti-aircraft gun, but it still had a strong lethality to the gunner. Moreover, 20mm shells can also cause considerable damage to anti-aircraft guns. Of course, such anti-aircraft guns will certainly be protected by small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. However, the frustration of not finding a worthy target on a single trip made Ikeda determined to kill the anti-aircraft guns.

So several fighters began to attack the exposed anti-aircraft guns. These anti-aircraft guns were indeed protected by several .50 machine guns. The first round of attacks did not have a very good effect, but fortunately no planes were shot down or damaged. And the machine guns that protected medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns were exposed. But the biggest takeaway from this round of low-altitude raids is not this. A Zero Fight flapped its wings frantically after it was pulled up, reminding everyone that he had made an important discovery.

Ikeda looked over at the Zero that flew beside him, and saw that the pilot of the plane held up a contact sign that read: "There are planes in the woods!"

Seeing this, Ikeda gave the order to attack after a moment's thought. Although the bombers can do this kind of work after the second wave of bombers arrives for a while, the bombers are those dirt buns of the army. Let them make meritorious contributions, but let the navy athletes work on the side and watch for nothing? If such a thing is known to the above, he will not be scolded to death? Let the comrades of the Navy know, I am afraid that they will also be laughed to death. He was even a little glad that the army bombers that had followed him had dropped their bombs.

There were a few planes in the woods, but they were all scrapped things, and now they were covered in camouflage nets, and they would never be visible as scrapped goods until they were closer. At first, the Japanese were very careful when rushing down, because the Zero War was too fragile and not suitable for ground attacks.

But this time, there were more planes going down to low altitudes, and trouble arose. Just as the guy who had spotted the plane on the ground was approaching the grove with everyone, a dense rain of bullets suddenly erupted from the bushes on a small mound next to him. Almost instantly, the spearhead Zero was torn to shreds. As soon as the other two planes found trapped in the trap were about to climb, they saw a string of fiery red bullets already whipped like a whip......

In the blink of an eye, three Zeros were lost in this trap.

"Baga!" Ikeda was so angry that he almost twisted the airplane control stick.

"Knock him out!" Enraged, Ikeda gave the order and personally rushed there with his plane. Several planes swooped over from different angles, and in a moment the point of fire was dumb. But in such a short period of time, two more planes were shot down by anti-aircraft fire. At the cost of two planes and two pilots, it was clear that such a result was a big loss. What's more, that firing point is not completely finished, at least one .50 machine gun is still firing.

Instead, Ikeda calmed down. It is really worth the loss to use zero combat to resist the ground anti-aircraft firepower. Let's wait for the second wave of bombers.

However, the second wave of bombers did not wait, but waited for a shocking news: the bomber group was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. There's no point in waiting any longer. So Ikeda ordered: "All of them will return home." ”

Just as the group was about to leave, a group of enemy aircraft suddenly appeared at an altitude of 6000 meters. This is exactly those 11 P-39s. Just as the Japanese plane was about to return, they appeared.

These planes dive straight down from a great height, and the speed is amazing, (the maximum speed of World War II aircraft mentioned in the general information refers to the horizontal maximum speed, but the speed that the plane can achieve when diving is much higher than that.) The speedometer in front of Suker had broken through 430 miles, which means that it was now traveling at more than 700 kilometers per hour.

The high speed brought an extremely high proximity rate, and in the blink of an eye, Su Ke had already rushed in front of the eyes of the Japanese group. He took a cursory aim at a Japanese fighter and opened fire. It's a pity that he didn't hit his opponent. The other 10 P-39s did the same, but not many hit the target. A bomber caught off guard received a few shots .50. It's a pity that it didn't hit the key place, and it will definitely fly back. There was also a Zero that had taken a few .50 shots, but it was in much worse condition than the bomber. Although the plane did not catch fire and burned, the engine was damaged, and whether it could fly back with support was really a big problem. The 37mm gun, which was the most distinctive of the P-39, did not hit a single shot. The shooting window was too short for precise aiming.

In the blink of an eye, the P-39 fleet had already passed through the Japanese fleet from top to bottom. After passing through, the P-39 did not immediately pull up, but took advantage of the high speed obtained by the dive to turn to the east and fly away.

Now, there is generally not much fuel in the tanks of Japanese aircraft. This made it impossible for them to catch up with those American planes. Ikeda could only grit his teeth and return with the group.

This was not the only attack on the way back, as it was not long before encountering a group of P-38s and F4Fs (Ron's group was also on the way back, which happened to be encountered). These guys are just as obscene: they dive down and hit a shuttle, and they leave directly after the fight, and they don't forget to twist their butts when they leave, as if to say: There is a kind of chasing me.

In this attack, two more Zeros were shot down, a small number, but still distressing to Ikeda, because his losses in this battle were not many, but the results were not at all. I'm afraid it's hard to explain when I go back this time.

Owen's F4F was wounded, and if it hadn't been for Ron's timely arrival, I'm afraid it would have been shot down. But now his plane is also in bad condition, the operating surface is broken, and it flies like a drunk stupid duck. What's worse is that now the engine is not right. When you listen to the sound of the engine now, it is like a tuberculosis patient who is wheezing and coughing, and from time to time he trembles violently twice, which makes people worry, and the next moment from time to time he will not be able to get up in one breath...... No, just thinking about it, the engine won't spin. Now there is nothing Owen can do but skydive.

Fortunately, there is still altitude, and there are some small islands nearby. After sending a distress message on the radio, Owen skydive. A gust of wind pushed him towards an unknown island, and he could land directly on the island. When it was still 500 meters above the ground, the wind direction suddenly changed again. As a result, Owen still fell into the sea. Fortunately, the island is not far away, only a few hundred meters. Owen sighed and swam slowly.

When I got to the island, I lit a fire, believing that it would not be long before the rescue plane could find me.

Owen thought as he swam forward. Somehow, I remembered the last time I saw a shark on a plane attacking a Japanese skydiving pilot. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look around, and this look made the blood in his whole body almost freeze.

Just behind, less than 100 meters away, two huge black dorsal fins appeared, and Owen swore that they were much larger than he had seen in any magazine before. They're getting closer!

Owen had never swam this fast in his life. He even thought later that with his speed at the time, he might be able to win the gold medal at the Olympics in Berlin. However, his speed is still too slow compared to the guys behind him. Almost in the blink of an eye, the dorsal fins behind caught up. And he is now at least 300 meters away from the island's beach.

Owen even felt the shark touch his foot, first lightly, then several times in succession. Owen was so frightened that he closed his eyes and waited for the shark to bite him. But the guy in the back didn't bite him, but just gently pushed him on his head. Owen pretended to be brave enough to open his eyes, only to realize that the guy who was pushing him with his head was not a shark. Rather, a guy bigger than a shark. It was carrying Owen against his big black round head towards the island. Owen then made a clear view of their dorsal fin, which was a little bent backwards, and the dazzling white patch underneath it. He recognized that it was not a shark, but the real overlord of the ocean, the killer whale!

Killer whales are also called orcas and killer whales. It is the most powerful predator on the sea. In fact, killer whales are not whales, but dolphins. They are the largest species in the dolphin family. It's a formidable sea beast, and his recipe even includes something as behemoth as the Blue Whale. Later scientists have also observed killer whales attacking another famous predator, the great white shark, and killing them with ease. Fortunately, like other dolphins, killer whales never attack humans on their own initiative, and are intelligent and happy to get along with people. They will even take the initiative to rescue humans who have fallen into the water.

The two killer whales slowly pushed Owen into the shallow waters on the edge of the island before turning away. Owen was rescued a few hours later. Since then, he has used killer whales as his mascot. After the war, he and his friends started the world's first organization dedicated to whale conservation.
