This asymmetrical air battle over Kunshan is the most common form since Japan's invasion of China.

China's aviation forces are already inferior to the Japanese army, and the only advanced fighters available are the American-made Hawker 2, Hawker 3 and Boeing 248 fighters (that is, American-made P-26 fighters, monoplanes, produced by Boeing).

The number of Boeing 248 fighters is not large, there is only one squadron, so the main aircraft are still Hawker 2 and 3.

Although the Nationalist government had purchased the Hawker 75 (P-36) from the United States, the Fighter biplane from the United Kingdom, and even the Soviet Union had provided China with a number of Il-15 and Il-16 fighters, none of these had yet arrived.

It can be said that from the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War to the beginning of American aid, the main force of Chinese fighters was Soviet-style fighters.

There are also American and British fighters, but the number is very small, because it is expensive.

This has to blame Song Meiling, the godmother of the Republic of China Air Force, and I don't know who said that the aircraft was updated too quickly, and now that I bought the plane, it didn't take long to fall behind.

This was true in the thirties of the twentieth century, when the early thirties were still the world of biplanes, but soon a large number of monoplanes appeared.

But the point is, you don't usually buy it, and when it comes to a real war, who will sell it to you.

Therefore, Song Meiling believed this statement, and then saved the money and did not buy it, it is said that it is tens of millions of dollars, and I don't know if it is true or not.

After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the Nationalist Government realized that there were not enough fighters.

But at this time, Britain and the United States either do not sell advanced fighters, and even if they do, they are simplified versions, the price has doubled compared with before the war, not to mention that there are even restrictions on the quantity, and they will simply not sell them later!

Fortunately, the Soviet Union has been selling, and the price is not too high, otherwise the Chinese Air Force will not be able to hold out for even 37 years.

That is, relying on the nearly 1,000 aircraft of various types provided by the Soviet Union, this can support the United States to relent, start selling fighters to China, and finally directly assist fighters.

However, there was also a window period, which was also a dark period, that is, the period between the appearance of the Japanese Zero fighter and the arrival of the American fighter to aid China.

The obvious gap caused the destruction of China's only remaining fighters, and that period was also the period of the most tragic casualties among Chinese pilots.

In fact, the gap between the three armed forces of the Chinese and Japanese navies and armies is the smallest, because the starting point is almost the same.

Moreover, in the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War, if it were not for the appearance of the Japanese army's Zero and Type 1 fighters, the balance would have completely tilted in favor of the Japanese army.

In the Sino-Japanese air battle, one-on-one, the Japanese army did not have an advantage.

The reason why the Chinese Air Force still has fewer victories and more defeats is not that the Chinese pilots are not excellent, but that the number of Japanese planes is too large.

As it was in front of them, the Japanese army had eight warplanes, while the Chinese army had only two.

Although the Japanese had an advantage in numbers, the two Chinese fighters rushed forward without hesitation.

As a soldier, how can you be indifferent to seeing your compatriots being slaughtered by the Japanese army.

As a result, a total of 10 fighters on both sides became entangled and launched an asymmetrical but fierce air battle.

The Chinese Air Force has two Hawk 3s, and the Japanese have eight Type 95 fighters.

These two fighters, in fact, the performance data is very close.

The Hawker 3 is equipped with a 745-horsepower engine manufactured by Wright, and the Type 95 is equipped with a 730-horsepower engine manufactured by Nakajima. However, the Type 95 fighter weighs only more than 1,300 kilograms, while the Hawker 3 fighter weighs more than 1,800 kilograms, so the Hawker 3 does not have an advantage in engine horsepower, but is inferior to the Type 95 in flexibility.

However, the maximum level flight speed of the Hawker 3 is 360 km/h, while the maximum speed of the Type 95 fighter is 352 km/h, which means that in terms of speed, the Hawker 3 has a little advantage, but when diving, this advantage is more obvious.

The Hawker 3 also has the advantage of armament, that is, it is equipped with a 12.7mm airborne machine gun and a 7.62mm machine gun, while the Type 95 only has two 7.7mm machine guns.

Therefore, in terms of comprehensive performance, the Hawker 3 is slightly stronger than the 95 type.

However, in absolute numbers, this advantage has long disappeared without a trace, and it really depends on the flying skills and tactical cooperation of both sides.

However, the Japanese fighters had a common problem from the full-scale invasion of China to the end of World War II, such as poor dive, slow speed, poor high-altitude performance, and weak firepower. The exception is the Type 4 Hurricane.

Of course, the advantage of the Japanese fighters is that they have excellent hovering performance at medium and low altitudes, and they also have the ability to climb.

Air combat is to make use of one's own advantages, avoid the advantages of enemy planes, and focus on the shortcomings of enemy planes, so that only in this way can one survive air battles and destroy more enemy planes.

Less than two minutes after the two sides started the war, a Hawker 3 went around to the direction of six o'clock behind the Japanese plane, and directly killed a Japanese fighter.

Then, in the midst of the whistling of the fighter plane and the machine gun body, a Japanese fighter plane fell straight down with black smoke.

"Well played!"

"Kill the little devils, come on the Chinese army!"

"Beautiful, the devil's plane has been shot down again!"

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

Within five minutes of engagement, the Japanese had knocked out two fighters, and they were shot down by the same fighter, which could only show one thing, and the pilot of that fighter was particularly skilled.

Thinking of this, Han Bin couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the pilot above was some ace pilot?

The Chinese Air Force in the Anti-Japanese War has four King Kongs, namely Gao Zhihang, Le Yiqin, Liu Cuigang and Liang Tiancheng, but all four died young in the end.

But when it comes to the Chinese Air Force, these four people are very famous, and Han Bin, who was born as a pilot, naturally knows the names of these four people.

However, among the four King Kongs, Liu Cuigang should have died in an accidental collision, and the other three were still there.

I just don't know if the person above is one of the three remaining King Kongs, or if he is another excellent pilot.

He will definitely go to the Air Force in the future, and that's what he's good at.

Although he has not officially opened a fighter plane, he has not missed the sixth and seventh beginners, and he was supposed to receive training as a high-level trainer and officially drive a jet trainer plane, but he crossed over.

Just as Han Bin was pondering, there was a cheer nearby, only to see another Japanese fighter plane crash, but this time it was the wingman who shot it down.

But before the people on the ground could be happy, they saw the wingman being hit and smoke coming from the plane.

Han Bin knew that the wingman was finished, but he didn't know if the pilot inside would successfully parachute to escape.

But soon he was stunned, because the pilot of the wingman did not choose to parachute, but directly crashed into another Japanese plane, and chose to die together.

When he was serving as a volunteer to rescue the wounded on the ground battlefield on the front line, he had seen ordinary soldiers die with the Japanese army, but it was the first time he had seen the pilot choose to do so.

There was an exclamation from the ground, and after the wingman hit the Japanese plane, it disintegrated directly in the air, and even the body could not be found.

Of the remaining four Japanese planes, two of the Japanese planes that were hit and had a significant drop in speed chose to turn back.

However, there were still two Japanese planes left in the sky, and only one Chinese fighter remained, that is, the long plane that destroyed the two Japanese planes.

However, the situation of the long plane at this time is not very good, the plane should have been hit by bullets, and black smoke is coming out, which will obviously affect the next air battle.

And the two Japanese planes that were in good condition obviously discovered this, so they did not return home, obviously trying to take the opportunity to shoot down the Chinese fighter.

Han Bin also began to worry about the long plane, and when he was worried, the two Japanese planes had already begun to attack.

The pilots of the Chinese long plane were skilled, while the Japanese had a numerical advantage.

Everyone understands the principle of making use of their strengths and avoiding their weaknesses, so the two Japanese planes invariably decided to attack left and right.

Naturally, the Chinese fighters did not sit idly by, and began to shuttle up and down, left and right, dodging the pincers and bullets of the Japanese planes.

However, the distance between the two fighters was getting closer and closer, and just when Han Bin was a little worried, the long plane made a bold decision.

Before Han Bin could react, the two Japanese planes collided together for some reason, and then fell directly.

"Maniac!"

Thinking of the scene just now, Han Bin couldn't help but shake his head and said.

The tactics of the fighters on both sides in the sky are the tail pursuit tactic, which is the most commonly used tactic in the entire World War II, and it can only be said that it is decent, after all, the Chinese air force is already weak.

However, the pilot of the Chinese long plane was very bold, and in order to change the unfavorable situation, he did not hesitate to induce the two Japanese planes to collide at the cost of possible destruction.

This operation is very bold, and the slightest carelessness will destroy the machine and kill people.

However, there is still a price, and when it was chased by the Japanese plane, the long plane was also hit by the Japanese plane, and the situation was not optimistic, and it was already on fire.

In the end, the pilot chose to parachute.

"Quick, let's go save that pilot!"

Seeing that the general direction of the pilot's landing was not far from the northwest, no more than ten kilometers away, Han Bin hurriedly said to the people around him.

Without waiting for Wang Chengpeng and the others to agree, Han Bin rushed out.

When Han Bin rushed out of more than ten meters, everyone reacted, but they didn't complain. They also saw the fierce air battle just now, in which the Chinese pilots shot down six Japanese planes and damaged two at the cost of two crashes.

Seeing that Han Bin had already rushed out, everyone quickly followed, and shouted Han Bin to slow down, after all, they were all a group of students, and their physical fitness was not very good.

。。。。。。

After about half an hour, the group finally found the pilot who had parachuted outside a small forest.

However, the man limped, apparently injured while parachuting.

Han Bin saw a parachute hanging on a tree not far away, and nine times out of ten it was crooked by the wind, I don't know if it was injured because of it.

It would be a pity if he was injured because of this.

This person's good skills are definitely at the level of ace pilots, and if he can't participate in the war because of this, it will undoubtedly be a big loss for the air force at this time.

Especially the upcoming Battle of Nanjing.

When he saw Han Bin and the others who suddenly appeared, the pilot became very cautious, couldn't help but stop, put his hand on the gun pouch on his waist, and looked at the men and women with guns in front of him with an unkind expression.
