"There's a way."

Naturally, there are ways, and Han Bin knows a few, whether it is the Thatchi scissors studied by American pilots in history, or the German Hartmann roll, which are all good defensive counterattack tactics.

Of course, this operation is not very easy.

Hartman's tumbling is a defensive tactic. When the enemy plane bites your 6 and is ready to make a move, use the negative G ability that is superior to the opponent to suddenly push the rod while pedaling the rudder.

This will make a downward roll with a negative G. This will make you suddenly disappear from your opponent's eyes, and he will have to do a 180-degree roll before pulling the lever to catch up. At this point, you've gained a certain amount of speed and distanced yourself from him.

The problem is that Han Bin doesn't know how strong the negative G capability of the Japanese Type 96 carrier-based aircraft and Type 97 fighters is, and the Hawker III is a biplane after all.

There is also the Thatch scissors, Chinese fighters without speed advantages may not be effective in the face of new Japanese fighters.

In Le Yiqin's view, although these two tactics were conceived by Han Bin, they are very feasible, but they cannot be confirmed now, and can only be tested in the air battle later.

It can be said that the gains from this parachute jump are very large, and I didn't expect to meet Han Bin, a person who is very researched in air combat tactics.

"By the way, what did you mean by playing to your strengths and avoiding your weaknesses?" Le Yiqin said curiously.

"Brother Le, I don't know if you have found some advantages and disadvantages of the Japanese machine?"

"What are the advantages and disadvantages of the Japanese machine?"

"In previous engagements, did you feel that the Japanese pilots did not dare to dive, and did not dare to fly too high."

Le Yiqin nodded, "That's right, I've encountered it before." ”

This means that the body structure of the Japanese fighter is not strong, so it does not dare to accelerate and dive, so as not to take over; And they often appear at medium and low altitudes, and do not fight at high altitudes, indicating poor performance at high altitudes.

According to the observation during this time, I found that the advantages of the Japanese aircraft, whether it is a biplane or a new monoplane, are that the performance at medium and low altitudes is very good, the hovering ability is strong, and the ability to climb is very good, which means that the Japanese aircraft are more flexible at medium and low altitudes, so try not to fight with the Japanese aircraft at medium and low altitudes.

And their disadvantages may be poor dive performance and poor high-altitude ability.

My opinion is that in the future, when fighting with Japanese planes, we should avoid fighting with the Japanese at medium and low altitudes, lead the battlefield to high altitudes, and choose to dive and escape if we can't win the battle. ”

"That's a good point, since you've learned to fly and know tactics, are you interested in joining the Aviation Committee? Be a pilot? Le Yiqin's words were not a temptation, but he really wanted to invite Han Bin to join the Air Force.

(Note: The Republic of China Air Force was established in 1946 and is now under the jurisdiction of the Aviation Committee)

At this time, Le Yiqin really let down his guard against Han Bin, if the other party was a Japanese spy, how could he tell him so many effective tactics, and how could he expose the shortcomings of the Japanese machine. If this is the case, isn't it worth it for Japan to pay too much price for planting a spy?

"May I?" Han Bin was a little unsure.

It's not that he didn't want to join the Air Force, but when he came back, he was a volunteer on the front line, and he couldn't run. Then he went to the front line of the Songhu battlefield with him, and the matter of being a pilot was delayed, and the first task was to live, not to be a pilot.

"Why not? I don't know how good your flying skills are, but your familiarity with flight tactics is enough to serve as an instructor at the Central Aviation School.

However, if you want to be a pilot, you have to go to Wuhan, the Aviation Committee is already moving, and the Central Aviation School is moving to Kunming, Yunnan. ”

Just when Han Bin was thinking about how to join the Air Force as a pilot, in Nanjing, the Aviation Committee had been worried about Le Yiqin's disappearance for a long time.

As one of the few ace pilots of the Chinese Air Force at this time, the importance of Le Yiqin is self-evident.

"Haven't found Le Yiqin yet? Did he die or parachuted? If you want to see people alive and die to see corpses, why have it been two days, and there has been no news yet? ”

Nanjing, Dajiaochang Airport, as the captain of the fourth brigade, Gao Zhihang is furious.

"Sir, I can't know about this for the time being. At present, it is only known that the air battle broke out over Kunshan, but now that Kunshan has been occupied by the Japanese army, the ground troops on the front line have also retreated significantly, and no news has come. The captain next to him was a little helpless.

Because the ground forces retreated so quickly, and because they were not subordinate to each other, it was not known whether any troops witnessed the air battle.

Le Yiqin's fighter plane did not have a radio, so it could not send back the news.

Two days have passed now, and there are only three outcomes: either die in battle, or successfully parachute or be captured by the Japanese.

If they parachute and escape, that's fine, but if they die or are captured, it's not what they want to see.

Just when Gao Zhihang was impatient, Zhou Zhirou, the appointment of the Aviation Committee, came to Dajiaochang Airport.

"Chief Zhou!"

Gao Zhihang hurriedly greeted him and gave a military salute.

Seeing several officers standing in front of Gao Zhihang, Zhou Zhirou said, "Training people? For the sake of the pleasure of the piano? ”

Gao Zhihang hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Zhou Zhirou smiled, "No need to look for it, Le Yiqin is fine." When the fourth regiment of the tax police regiment retreated, he found that Le Yiqin had successfully parachuted, the other party was only a little injured, there was no big problem, and the person had already arrived in Suzhou. . . ”

"Really?"

Gao Zhihang was taken aback, with an incredible expression on his face, and looked straight at Zhou Zhirou. In addition to him, after hearing the news, Li Guidan, Dong Mingde and others all came around, for fear that Zhou Zhirou would suddenly say that it was fake.

From the beginning of the war to the present, they have killed too many pilots.

In the first half of August, the Chinese Air Force made 67 sorties, fought 12 air battles, destroyed 61 Japanese planes, hit 10 enemy ships, and lost 27 of its own.

In September, 46 sorties, 15 air battles, 20 enemy aircraft were shot down, 38 enemy ships were hit, and 36 of their own losses were lost;

In October, 7 enemy aircraft were shot down, and 25 of their own losses were lost.

By November, when the Battle of Songhu was over, the entire air force had only about 30 fighters available for combat, and the possibility of a large-scale air battle was basically lost.

In the first two and a half months, a total of 88 Japanese planes were destroyed and 88 of their own aircraft were lost.

It seems to be a tie, but there are only more than 30 Chinese fighters left, while there are hundreds of Japanese planes, and the larger and more the number, the larger and more advanced the aircraft.

A month and a half ago, the main fighter of the Japanese aircraft was the Type 95 carrier-based aircraft (Type 95 is divided into two types of army and navy, in general, the army model is better than the navy model, but the Songhu battlefield is the navy model, and the army model is basically in the North China battlefield);

And in October, the main fighter of the Japanese aircraft became the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft, and began to crush all the fighters in service in China in terms of performance.

This is also the reason why only 7 fighters were achieved in October, and 25 fighters were lost!
