The 208th Yichang Defensive Battle (4)
"Dodge, dodge—" Sang Ming Zhuonan ordered.
The two Type 99 bomber squadrons were in chaos in an instant, and they were all using their own skills, doing all kinds of evasive tactical moves, some turning sideways, some plunging headlong into the ground, and some dazzlingly playing tricks, all of which really looked like it.
But no matter how they dodged, the air-to-air missiles still had a close encounter with the bombers.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom--" The four Type 99 light bombers were instantly blown to pieces by the Thunderbolt-8 air-to-air missile, forming four explosion centers in the air, and then falling to the ground.
As for the pilot, he was also doing all kinds of actions in the air, some were rolling in the air, some were divided into several sections in the air, some turned into a rain of blood, and some directly had only one soul, and flew in the direction of the east, that is, Japan.
When the souls streaked across the sky, they were faster than the Thunderbolt 8 missiles, as if they were shouting in the air, "Mom, I'm back, I'm finally home—"
He hated Sang Ming Zhuonan's teeth, and now he really needed to know: "Where is the enemy plane?" Where are the enemy aircraft? He shouted loudly.
To be beaten badly and not to know where your enemies are is the most terrible thing that can happen. The Thunderbolt-8 air-to-air missile is a short-range missile with a maximum firing range of only 15 kilometers. At a distance of 15 kilometers, Kuwana Zhuonan's eyes could not see where the enemy plane was.
Finally, a small soldier with a sharp eye found a few gray planes hidden under a cloud in the north, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all. He shouted: "Just to the north, under that largest cloud, the enemy plane is there." ”
Following the call of the radio, Sang Mingzhuo Nan looked to the north, and it was indeed a white cloud and a gray plane, similar in color, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see it at all.
Sangming Zhuonan issued another order: "Zero Type 1 Squadron, 2nd Squadron, rush up and engage in air combat with the enemy. The No. 1 and No. 2 squadrons of the 99th Type immediately launched an air raid on Yicheng. 96-1 First Squadron and Second Squadron, responsible for covering bombers from air raids. The battle of the air raid on Yichang, commanded by Kazuo Komura. ”
Sang Ming Zhuonan knew that if he didn't control the air force of the Southern Expeditionary Army, he would only be beaten. The current tactic can only be to entangle the air force of the Southern Expeditionary Army, and the other 4 squadrons will carry out air strikes on Yicheng.
At the command of the 6 flying squadrons, they quickly carried out separate operations. Sang Ming Zhuonan led 2 squadrons of Zero aircraft responsible for attacking Chinese fighters, while 4 flying squadrons were responsible for conducting ground air strikes on Yichang.
Four flight squadrons, nearly 48 aircraft, if they go all out, will certainly cause a catastrophe to the ground positions in Yichang.
The squadron leader of a male squadron in Komura received the order to command the air attack on Yicheng, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Hmph, just with the power of our Imperial Japanese Air Force, let alone 4 squadrons, even 2 squadrons, it is quite a sea of fire on the Chinese position, with dead bodies all over the ground, and the confidence to resist is completely lost!"
He looked at the sky again with his eyes, and at this time, except for the Type 99 bomber, the 96-1 fighter, had completely become the sky of Japanese aircraft. His nose snorted, and he gave another order: "The first and second squadrons of the 96-1 are responsible for air cover, and the first and second squadrons of the Type 99 bombers will immediately carry out air strikes on the military fortifications outside Yichang City." ”
The leader of the first squadron and the second squadron of the ninety-nine style received the order and immediately shouted: "Hayi! "Hayi!" Immediately roared towards the defensive position in the south of Yichang City.
The Type 99 light bomber has a main crew of 2 people, the plane is equipped with two 7.7mm machine guns, and there are 1 250kg bomb hanging under the belly and 4 60kg bombs hanging under the main wing.
Kazuo Komura is also a very conceited fellow, and he said to himself: "Let the Chinese Army taste our bombs!" Let them be crushed to pieces in the face of our huge bombs! Just call them in the fire! ”
He watched triumphantly as the 99 light bombers swooped down from the sky one after another. It is getting closer and closer to the ground, 5000 meters, 4000 meters, 3000 meters......
The positions of the Chinese Army were also shining with fire, and it was the anti-aircraft weapons on the ground that were firing into the air. Kazuo Komura snorted: "Heavy machine gun plane, that's just pretending, not very powerful." As for light machine guns and rifles, they are even more deaf ears - ornaments! ”
Kazuo Komura's mood became more and more excited, and his most excited moment was the moment when he saw the bomb land, the fire flashed, and the smoke slowly rose. At that moment, he wanted to keep this picture firmly in his mind, and when he was fine, he would take it out and savor it.
Suddenly, 4 small rockets emerged from the Chinese positions, followed by 4 more. Driven by jet engines behind them, they flew fast towards their bombers.
"Not good!" Kazuo Komura shouted, "Why are there Chinese missiles here?" What's going on? What's going on? Dodge missile attacks, dodge missile ......"
Xu Da knew that the strength of the air force alone and air defense were not enough, so he secretly set up several Hongying series missile vehicles on the city defense positions in Yichang.
The Hongying-5C surface-to-air missile is a vehicle-mounted type, and the missiles are loaded on a 4X4 launch vehicle, each vehicle is equipped with two groups of 4 missiles, and the vehicle is equipped with a television, infrared warning and tracking system.
This type of air defense missile has the characteristics of small size, light weight, low price, high accuracy, omnidirectional attack, and "fire and forget."
It was too late for Kazuo Komura to shout again, and the four Type 99 bombers at the front couldn't dodge at all, and were hit head-on by the ground-to-air missiles in front. "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom--" The four bombers exploded and caught fire, and then turned into patches of "ceremonial flowers" that fell from the sky one after another.
The next four planes were not in a good situation, and with two "booms," two bombers exploded, disintegrating in the air. The two bombers a little further back, probably because of the high point, the two red tassel missiles brushed against their sides, which really startled the pilots of the two bombers and broke out in a cold sweat.
8 shots and 6 hits, the effect is also good.
Kazuo Komura really wanted to cry without tears at this time, he originally thought that Sang Ming Zhuonan's Zero plane was dealing with the Chinese Air Force fighters in the air, and it would be fine here, who knows, there are also missiles on land in China! How good is that? How's that good?
But at this time, Kazuo Komura is really open-minded. Is it possible to retreat in the face of the terrible Chinese missiles, this is not the Japanese style of bushido, and the samurai of the Japanese Imperial Army should know the difficulties and will never be intimidated by the Chinese missiles.
The first squadron was almost depleted, and there was also the second bomber squadron, and Kazuo Komura gave a loud order: "Bomber squadron 2, attack the car that fired missiles at us—"
The Japanese bombers were really moths throwing fire, and the second squadron of the 99 bombers rushed down to the position south of Yichang City. 5000 meters, 4000 meters, 3000 meters, 2000 meters.
Just near the missile car, the layman watched the excitement, the insider watched the doorway, and Han Xing was also watching it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart. The eight missiles on the car had all been launched, and if they were to be reloaded, it would take a few minutes to do anything, and at this time, the Japanese Type 99 bomber dived down again.
As long as the bomber is called down and the bomb is thrown like this, the missile truck will definitely be finished. The missile car is over, how to play the following scene.
The missile truck was quickly loading missiles, but it could not be loaded in the blink of an eye, and it looked like it was about to be swept down by the Japanese Type 99 bombers. And at this critical moment, a group of soldiers in camouflage uniforms ran over, and each of them carried a cannon-barrel-like thing on their shoulders. The barrels were about 1.5 meters long, seventy or eighty millimeters thick, and weighed about twenty kilograms each.
One by one, they crouched on the ground, shouldering missile launchers, aiming at the planes in the sky with the naked eye.
With a pull on the trigger, a red-tasseled MANPAD roared into the air.
The system is a kind of individual shoulder-fired ultra-low-altitude anti-aircraft missile, which can attack high-speed aircraft by tail chase under the condition of visual visibility, and can also adopt a head-on attack mode against some aircraft. The seeker adopts infrared guidance, and the main engine is a single-chamber dual-thrust solid rocket engine.
Seven or eight enemy planes pounced, and a dozen, if not more, surface-to-air missiles whizzed towards them. "Boom-" "Boom-" "Boom-" Some of them were two missiles hitting an enemy plane, some were hitting an enemy plane with one missile, and some missiles missed and flew past the enemy plane.
The seven or eight enemy planes that pounced were hit five or six in an instant. Being so close to the ground that the plane exploded, it also hit the ground position, causing another series of fires. No matter what you say, the black cat and the white cat are good cats when they catch mice, and the Type 99 Second Bomber Squadron suffered another almost devastating blow.
When Kazuo Komura saw that the situation was not right, he shouted loudly: "Dodge, dodge, dodge Chinese missile ......"
It's too late to shout again, what to do early, the second bomber squadron can't stop the car. Like a moth throwing fire, the first one pounced on it, the second and the third still pounced forward......
But it can't be said that there are no achievements, there is a Type 99 bomber with missiles, but before he died, he fell the Chinese position. Nearly 500 kilograms of bombs, wherever they fell, there was also a place the size of a football field, and in the fire and smoke, the plane and the position were turned into ashes, which was originally blue and yellow, but now it has turned into fire and black.
Faced with the huge scene of destruction, Kazuo Komura couldn't be happier. The excitement that I had originally imagined did not appear at all, but I felt a sense of melancholy, decadence, frustration, and defeat in my heart, and my two Type 99 bomber squadrons were almost finished.
