Chapter 299, the fallen trump card

The fact that the U.S. planes attacked at such a distance was a bit of a surprise to Nishizawa. Fastest update 78 novels // However, such an attack did not bother the battle-hardened veteran too much, he only turned his wings slightly, and the two rockets flying towards him missed.

The rockets produced by the Americans actually interfered with the Americans themselves, and the shock caused by the rockets constantly flying out and the smoke left by the rockets interfered with the Americans' aiming, so the American P-81 did not seize the opportunity to fire with the cannon. Of course, the rìben fighter, who did the dodge maneuver, did not get a chance to fire. However, Hiroshi Nishizawa has temporarily taken a higher height with his upward pull-up movement.

The American fighter swept under the belly of Hiroshi Nishizawa, who made a half-somersault and successfully occupied the enemy plane above 6 o'clock. But Nishizawa knows that doesn't mean he has an advantage. The speed of the enemy aircraft was too fast, and even if he occupied above 6 o'clock, he would not be able to catch up with the opponent. Unless the opponent is too stupid and tries to spin the disc to his own six o'clock right away.

However, the two strange enemy planes were not so stupid, in fact, before the P-81, all the pilots were given a pamphlet called "The P-81 Fighter Compares with the Known Rìben Fighter Xìng Ability", in which the pilots were clearly told, "The P-81's greatest weakness is its horizontal hovering, especially at low speeds." At less than 7,000 meters, the horizontal hovering energy of any of the now known fighters was superior to that of the P-81. So, don't go into horizontal hovering with the rì fighter." So, in Nishizawa's eyes, the two weird fighters quickly distanced themselves from him, and then began to climb rapidly.

"What a fast plane!" Watching the enemy planes getting smaller and smaller in front of his eyes, Nishizawa sighed, "At this speed, I'm afraid it's about 700 kilometers per hour?" It's so fast! Hiroshi Nishizawa couldn't help but become more and more worried about the future of the war: "In just a few years, the Zero War, which was supposed to lead the world, has fallen behind like this. Now not only is the level of pilots getting lower and lower, but the technical level of the aircraft is also getting worse and worse than that of the United States. Now, even those fighters that are still under development are far inferior to the aircraft in front of them in terms of performance? ”

The pamphlet states: "The P-81 has a climb rate superior to that of any Rìben fighter at any altitude, and this advantage will increase with altitude." Therefore, the brochure suggests that taking advantage of this advantage, as well as the advantage of the P-81's good roll, to adopt the BZ style of play is the most suitable style of play for the P-81 fighter.

Hiroshi Nishizawa climbed a little with the two odd planes, and then stopped climbing. He has already determined that the climb ability of this fighter is significantly better than his own Zero. Once upon a time, Zero was once the king of the Pacific theater of climbing, but now, it is clearly beyond its strength. Rather than reluctantly following others to climb and finally stall and be killed by others, it is better to maintain a certain speed and use the circling advantage of Zero Battle to dodge the enemy's attack, so that there may be a chance to fight a defensive counterattack. Besides, if you climb too high, the enemy will swoop down and throw them off, and attack the suicide planes piloted by the rookies below. It is better to maintain such an altitude so that the enemy does not dare to easily attack those suicide planes in a lower position.

Hiroshi Nishizawa noticed that the enemy's fighters had two propellers, one in front and one behind. The two propellers, he thought, must be turning in opposite directions, so that the enemy fighters would not be affected by the torque of the propellers, and their speed of rolling to the left and right would be more or less the same. In this case, the average plane that rolls to the right is frighteningly faster than the average plane, which rolls to the right is generally slower than to the left. "So, no matter what, don't roll to the right." Hiroshi Nishizawa said to himself.

The two P-81s, already having a clear advantage in height, dived one after the other, swooping towards the escort Zero. Their target was not Hiroshi Nishizawa, but another Zero. Hiroshi Nishizawa knew that Fujisawa, the pilot of that plane, was not a veteran, and in fact, he was only a limited number of rookie pilots who flew kamikaze missions. He was just a novice who had just another hundred flight hours, and with the Americans he was not even qualified to go to war.

"Unit 4, be careful!" Hiroshi Nishizawa reminded him loudly. Fujisawa made a sharp turn and avoided the first enemy plane, but then the second enemy plane pounced, and six 20mm guns fired wildly, and in just an instant, Fujisawa's plane was reduced to pieces.

"One!" Salas excitedly shouted over the radio, "I've shot one, I'm only 4 planes away from becoming an ace!" ”

"Shut up! Follow me! We're still fighting! There was a scolding voice from the headset from the long machine Duyi.

After completing this round of attacks, the two P-81s again relied on the high speed of the dive, distanced themselves from Rì, and then quickly climbed again. It seems that they are planning to draw a scoop on the gourd again.

Doy and his wingman Salas jumped into the air again, and were about to dive down, only to see that the two P/A-38s actually took advantage of their attack on the Zeros who were escorting the escorts, and pounced on the Zeros in lower positions.

"Damn it! How did they get in? Do they still think they are driving P-38s? ”

However, the engine of the P/A-38 attack aircraft was improved, although flying Xìng

It still can't catch up with the original P-38 fighter, but the difference is not particularly far. It's just that the cannon firepower is more suitable for hitting ground armored targets than fighters compared to the fighter version, although the single-shot firepower has increased, but the firepower density has decreased a lot, and compared to the original, it is more suitable for hitting ground armored targets rather than fighters.

Romney's original flight altitude was about 1,200 meters, while Rì's suicide plane was only 800 meters, and the 400-meter altitude difference gave Romney the opportunity to increase his speed to 600 kilometers per hour. This speed has already exceeded the maximum level flight speed of the Zero 52. Romney's fighters quickly approached the "kamikaze" version of the Zero.

Alerted by Hiroshi Nishizawa, the rookies spotted the P/A-38 rushing from them. However, they could not tell the difference between the P/A-38 and the P-38, and they both thought of it as a P-38 fighter. The P-38 fighter was far more active in the Pacific than in Europe, and the pilots were not unfamiliar with this "twin demon", and they all knew that the P-38 fighter was a sniper in the air, and the long-range shè was very good, and the Americans would often use it to fire at a long distance. And the ferocious firepower of the P-38 was a nightmare for the pilots. Therefore, as soon as those rookies saw that the "P-38" pounced, they rushed to dodge. However, the rookies forgot that the "kamikaze" version of the Zero they were driving was completely different from the ordinary Zero Battle. They're much heavier, they're much more clumsy, and more importantly, they're losing energy faster, and they're stalling much faster. And affected by methamphetamine, so, in such a dodge action, two of the 6 "kamikaze" version of the zero battle entered the spiral because of stalling. Let's not say that the altitude of 800 meters is too low, and the pilot has no time to change the spiral, even if the altitude is higher, these plus the training time in the flight school are only dozens of hours, and the rookies who have not learned how to change the spiral at all, the possibility of changing the spiral is almost non-existent. As a result, Romney took out two enemy planes without even a single shell.

However, by this time, Hiroshi Nishizawa, who had pounced from a higher position, was already closely following Romney. Under normal circumstances, the maximum speed of the Zero 52 is less than 600 kilometers per hour. But with the help of a dive, the Zero 52 can theoretically reach a top speed of more than 700 kilometers. However, at such speeds, the slightest movement of the plane may disintegrate. The experienced Hiroshi Nishizawa certainly didn't make such a mistake, and he controlled his speed so well that it was only a limited amount faster than Romney's P/A-38. In fact, at such a speed, Zero War is already shaking so badly that it is difficult to control.

Nishizawa knew that he only had one chance to attack truly effectively, and that a little later, the enemy's kind of weird fighter would come to the rescue. Moreover, he also knows that it is difficult for the Zero 52 to maintain such a speed for a long time. If you don't shoot down your opponent as soon as possible, your opponent will definitely be able to escape.

Based on past experience, Nishizawa knew that the two 7.7 mm machine guns on the Zero Battle were too lethal to pose a threat to the enemy's sturdy P-38, and that only by getting close and attacking with a 20 mm gun could it be possible to shoot down an unscientific fighter like the P-38. However, Hiroyoshi Nishizawa did not know at this time that he had made the same mistake as his good friend Saburo Sakai, that is, he recognized the wrong plane, and the plane in front of him was not a P-38 fighter, but a P/A-38 attack aircraft with a tail self-defense machine gun.

The P/A-38 attack aircraft had not previously been seen in large numbers in the Pacific. It was prioritized for troops in Europe, and until recently began to be equipped with U.S. forces in the Pacific, and Romney's unit was among the first to receive such weapons. Therefore, it is understandable that Hiroshi Nishizawa, who had never seen such a modified version of the P-38 before, had such a miscalculation.

And when Hiroshi Nishizawa found that there was a self-defense machine gun behind the enemy plane, his fighter was already very close to the opponent, and the high speed made Zero's cāo longitudinal xìng extremely poor, and he couldn't make light dodge moves at all, so now he could only rush up a little more, and strive to be able to shoot down the opponent with a 20mm gun.

Romney's self-defense machine gunner, a young man named Amrit, began to fire frantically at the Zero with a .50 caliber M2 machine gun. The Zero didn't make any dodge moves, and Amrit was pleased to see that the bullet he shot out hit the Zero Combat hard, and many fragments fell from the Zero Fight's body like crumbs, and a puff of black smoke began to emerge from the plane.

"I hit it!" Amrit shouted excitedly, knowing that it wouldn't take long for Rì's crispy plane to burst into flames as soon as it smoked, and then it was bound to crash.

A .50 caliber bullet entered the cockpit, shattering the cockpit glass and slicing Nishizawa's face with blood. One of his eyes was completely blindfolded by his own blood. At the same time, a cockpit frame that had been broken into two flew over and plunged directly into his abdomen, and blood gushed out.

Hiroshi Nishizawa gritted his teeth, aimed at Romney's P/A-38 with one eye, and began to fire with a 20-mm gun. He saw the shells fly out, hit the fuselage of the special P-38 in front of him, splashed a string of sparks, and then bounced off - the P/A-38 had thick armor in key parts that was not inferior to that of the Il-2 attack aircraft, and Rì's own attack was ignored.

"Baga, this is not scientific!" Hiroshi Nishizawa scolded angrily as he pressed his whole body to the left, pressing against his own Cāo pole, and Zero began to roll to the left, erecting his wings in the middle of the roll, slamming into the tail of Romney's P/A-38.

"Click!" The flat tail of the P/A-38 broke along with the vertical tail on the right, and the left wing of Hiroshi Nishizawa was broken in two from the root. His plane spinnered and fell to the ground. Sitting in the cockpit, watching the strange P-38 also lose its balance and fall to the ground, he suddenly remembered that last night, he proposed to the commander that he should lead the team to launch a "kamikaze" special attack.

"The hunch is so accurate, I knew something was going to happen recently!" Last night, Hiroshi Nishizawa, who suddenly had a premonition that something would happen in the near future, proposed to the commander that he would launch a suicide attack in a "kamikaze" plane. This request was rejected by the commander without hesitation, and he replied that Rì had not yet reached the point where he wanted such a good pilot to go to the kamikaze.

"Is that a 'kamikaze' just now?" Hiroshi Nishizawa had lost a lot of blood and no longer had the strength to climb out of the high-speed rotating cockpit, the centrifugal force pressed him to the seat, countless scenes turned rapidly in front of his eyes, his eyes became blurred, and one strange illusion after another appeared in front of his eyes, comrades-in-arms, classmates in military school, playmates from childhood, and ......

"Mom......" Nishizawa muttered, and then fell into the deepest darkness.
