Chapter 143: It's Okay!

The Japanese Zero fighters who came to reinforce never expected that they would be intercepted by a large number of fighters again. What shocked the Japanese pilots the most was the sudden appearance of this group of fighters, which seemed to have tactics to restrain them, so that the Zero fighters could not bargain.

Compared with the previous record against the Menia Air team, at this moment, the Zero fighter formation can still shoot down intercepted Menia fighters from time to time. What can chill the Zero fighter formation is that their own fighters are also decreasing.

Looking at the fighters that arced in the air from time to time, the Menia Air Force, which finally escaped the pursuit, also truly realized the difficulty of the Zero fighters. The only thing they were glad for was that they waited for reinforcements to arrive.

As the second captain of the commander, he looked at the fighters that were shot down from time to time, and his heart was extremely sad. Somewhat relieved, there were many Japanese fighters shot down by them, and the Japanese army almost did not escape by parachuting.

In contrast, the fighters of the second group of the Eagle Strike were shot down, but many of them were able to successfully parachute to save their lives. The jungle below is not the sound of explosions, which can also show that this air battle is more tragic and crazy than the one in Longzhou City.

No wonder Hu Biao said that air combat is a battle of technology and financial resources. In terms of flying technology, the pilots of the Eagle Strike Brigade were indeed less experienced than the Japanese army. It is gratifying that these pilots are not afraid of death and are very heroic.

In a two-person formation, if someone is shot down by a Japanese fighter, other fighters will soon be added. Always maintain formation operations against the more powerful Zero. The fighter that can be modified is also very ferocious against the Zero.

The second captain of the fighter who was hit by the Zero fighter and the second captain who was in charge of watching the battle would also say at the right time: "Eleventh, withdraw from the battle!" On the twenty-ninth, you partner with the twelfth and continue to form a battle! ”

Compared to the thin-skinned and brittle Zero, the Wildcat fighters equipped by the Eagle Strike Brigade have higher defense. As long as it doesn't hit the vital parts, most of them can be driven back to the airport where they are stationed, and then they can be overhauled.

And the Zero fighter, once hit by the cannon modified by the Wildcat fighter, will often be blown out of a big gap. After losing control, the Zero fighter had only one end in the ground jungle, and the pilot was naturally unlucky.

Seeing the Menia Air Force that had already flown away from the battlefield, the captain thought for a moment and said, "Evacuate to the sixth airspace!" Attract all these little devils' fighters to the No. 6 airspace, let the ground anti-aircraft artillery teach them a lesson, and then counterattack! ”

"Roger!"

Although it seems a bit despicable to do this, it doesn't hurt for the captain to feel despicable once compared to seeing his own fighter plane crash. With the surviving fighters of the second brigade, they began to fight and retreat, and the little devils who originally wanted to withdraw became excited.

"Kill a few and give it! These guys want to escape, and they must not be allowed to escape! ”

Although the idea was good, when they entered the sky over a mountain range not far from the air combat area, the fighters of the Eagle Strike Group began to fly at low altitude in formation. The little devil fighter who was chasing was naturally clenched to death.

At this moment, in the mountains and jungles below, strings of dazzling light suddenly burst out. In the face of the firepower network formed by the anti-aircraft artillery, the pursuing Japanese fighters were undoubtedly taken by surprise.

"Yaga! Mean guys! Evade artillery fire! Evade artillery fire! ”

While scolding the fleeing enemy fighter formations for being despicable, they struggled under anti-aircraft fire. Looking at their own fighters that have been blown up from time to time, many little devil pilots regret it, why do they have to keep chasing after them, and take them if they don't see good!

On the other hand, the fighters of the Eagle Strike Group, which had previously retreated tactically, turned around at this time and surrounded the surviving Japanese fighters on the edge of anti-aircraft fire. When the battle was over, only a few of the reinforcements sent by the Japanese army escaped and ascended to heaven.

Seeing the few Japanese fighters fleeing in a hurry, the pilots of the Eagle Strike Group were undoubtedly extremely happy, but the captain still said calmly: "Return to the Eagle's Nest, this is just the beginning, there are more battles waiting for us in the future!" ”

"Yes, Captain!"

As the surviving fighters of the second group returned to the airport one after another, the ground staff waiting at the airport also began to count how many of their fighters had not returned. The fighters that did not come back, maybe the pilots are still alive, but some will never come back.

Fortunately, there is such a thing as sacrifice in battle, and since the day they joined the wolf army, many people have been mentally prepared for this. Later, some pilots were sent back to the base, and the officers and men at the base seemed to be much happier.

As for those pilots who died on the spot, they will be sent to the eagle's den in Shillong for burial. For the pilots of the Eagle Strike Brigade, the valley where the First Brigade is located is also the place where the soul of the entire Eagle Strike Brigade is placed.

It may be relocated and buried in the future, but at this stage, more pilots hope that they can be buried back in the eagle's den after death. Because there, there are pilots who died earlier than them, and they will not feel lonely when buried together.

This air battle, in which as many as 400 fighters clashed, ended with the victory of the Eagle Strike Group. For the air force supported by Menia, the remaining Meenia pilots were stunned to see the fighters that had finally returned to the base.

Nearly 100 fighters were dispatched, and less than 20 were left when they returned, how could they not be shocked by such large casualties?

The surviving flight commander, facing the inquiry of the commander left behind at the base, said with a bitter expression: "There should be some pilots who will come back in the future, but their fighters, I'm afraid they won't be able to come back." The Air Force of Fuso is very strong! ”

After explaining the air combat situation, the base commander also said solemnly: "Zero fighter, really strong?" ”

"Yes! Compared to the fighters we fly, the Zero is extremely mobile in the air. Often as soon as we aim, they can get rid of it quickly. A lot of times, in one-on-one situations, we're completely at a disadvantage! ”

The commander who told the truth continued: "We were lucky to come back this time, thanks to the timely support sent by Mr. Hu. They are equipped with fighters that seem to be able to compete with the Zero, and we must replace them with new ones! ”

"Hu's fighter is a wildcat! The fighters we are equipped with are not bad in terms of performance compared to the Wildcat fighters! ”

“NO! I've flown a Wildcat, and I know what a Wildcat looks like. Hu modified the wildcats and invented a new aerial combat tactic. They swapped their large-caliber machine guns for more powerful cannons! ”

After some discussion, the Menia Air Force seemed to have summarized the situation and reported it to the colonial generals in Luzon. Hearing this news, the generals of the colonial army were also extremely shocked.

You must know that the pilots of the air force sent to Spring City are all excellent pilots selected by them from the air, and they are also extremely experienced in flying. But in the face of the Japanese Zero fighters, they were completely wiped out.

"Damn! Send the situation back to China immediately, and then find a way to contact Brooke, we need to work further with Hu. ”

"Alas, I really didn't expect that the Zero fighter of the Fuso people is really more advanced than the fighter we produce!"

Although they were unwilling to admit this cruel fact, the result of the more brutal air battle made these generals have to believe it. In this case, they do not dare to prevaricate anything, but hope that the country will study corresponding countermeasures for this matter as soon as possible.

On the other hand, Brooke, who was staying in Zhenning Mansion at the moment, was also very angry after learning the news: "Damn it! Those dereliction of duty guys should be dragged and shot! I told them earlier, but they just didn't believe it, so it's okay! ”

Looking at the angry Brooke, Hu Biao comforted: "Brooke, if they can know their mistakes and change them, it means that they can at least be saved." We have rescued more than 10 pilots of those downed fighter planes.

Even if some pilots were killed, I instructed the ground forces to preserve their remains. You are responsible for contacting them at that time. Those drawings, I'm sure someone should be interested! Your job is coming! ”

"Alas! Arrogance comes at a price! Just pity the valiant pilots! ”

Hu Biao took the initiative to release sincerity before, but the Menia side was hesitant and needed to be considered. Now that I have suffered a loss, if I want to cooperate with Hu Biao again, then the price I will pay will naturally be greater. Brooke didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

In order to rescue the Menia Air Force, the Eagle Strike Brigade also paid a lot of price. Shouldn't these costs be compensated by Menia? This time, Brooke had already made up his mind to make some people in the country bleed profusely.

And this is exactly what Hu Biao wants to see!

At the same time as the air battle ended, the ground offensive and defensive war also ended. The infantry wing sent by the Japanese division also lost more than half of it when it finally returned to Haiphong City. For a time, the commander of the Japanese division did not know whether to continue the attack.

The naval aviation sent to help in the war also suffered heavy losses this time. Of the hundreds of warplanes sent to help in the war, only a dozen of them returned safely to the island airfield and the aircraft carrier. The naval commander, who heard the news, also looked extremely shocked.

How powerful the Zero fighter is, they naturally know very well. But they never imagined that in the southwestern airspace, there would be an air force unit that could compete with them. This problem is very serious!

"Menia's Wildcat fighters? It's still specially modified! This flying unit, with strange air strike tactics? ”

These were the surviving pilots, provided to the Japanese army. According to the information available to the Japanese army, the Wildcat fighters were not equipped with cannons. This time, the Japanese fighters encountered Wildcat fighters equipped with machine guns and machine guns.

Secondly, this mysterious air force unit also has a highly targeted air combat grouping tactics, which really surprised the Japanese army. If we don't find out the matter clearly, the Japanese army will not be able to gain absolute air supremacy in the southwest in the future!

What worries the Japanese army even more is that if Menia masters the tactics of counterbalancing the Zero fighters and has a new type of fighter that is highly targeted, then it will be difficult for the Japanese army to gain air supremacy when they clash with Menia in the future.

And this is exactly what the Japanese army plans to sneak attack on Menia, and the last thing they want to see is the result!
