Chapter 573: Inseparable

The Type 91 torpedo is a heavy torpedo developed by Japan in 1931, and although the initial model of the Type 91 torpedo had the same problem of a high failure rate as the air-launched torpedoes of other countries, it has to be said that the paranoid fault of the Japanese is undoubtedly exposed here; after seven or eight years of continuous improvement, the Japanese can now pat their chests and say that this torpedo has become the most advanced torpedo in the world today, and there is no one, and even the torpedoes equipped by Germany and even Britain and the United States are not as advanced and reliable as it.

When the Type 91 torpedo rushed towards the cruiser Foch, the Foch, which was traveling at less than 10 knots per hour, could only watch as the 852-kilogram torpedo rushed towards it at a high speed of 42 knots, and at this time it was too late to bombard it even with the guns on the side of the ship. Only a bang was heard, and the whole body of this heavy cruiser with a displacement of 10,000 tons was shaken, and in the strong explosion of hundreds of kilograms of high explosives, a large hole of six or seven meters appeared in the middle of the ship's side, and the sea water frantically poured into the broken hole.

After succeeding, the Type 97 carrier-based attack aircraft turned around and fled into the distance, and soon disappeared into the air. Seeing that the cruiser Foch was heavily damaged, the nearby Type 97 attack planes smelled the smell of blood and rushed towards them like sharks, although the surrounding warships were also frantically firing at them to try to organize these Japanese planes, but it didn't seem to have much effect, there were still two Type 97 attack planes that broke through the artillery fire and approached the Foch, if they were allowed to shoot torpedoes again, I am afraid that the Foch would really be in a catastrophe.

Looking at the two Japanese planes that were getting closer and closer, the sailors on the Foch seemed to be able to see the hideous faces of the pilots in the cockpit of the two Japanese planes, and just as the two Type 97 attack planes were about to release the torpedoes, they only heard a few fires flashing in front of them, and the two Type 97 attack planes that had just wanted to release the torpedoes turned into a ball of fireball and fell towards the sea on the spot.

"Yaga, what's that?"

Yasui Hisashi, who was observing the battle situation in the airweight, couldn't help but be startled when he saw the two fighters that suddenly came out of the airweight, and when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but gasp, this is a fighter he has never seen before, the round fuselage is like a large milk bottle, Yasui Hisaka can be sure that he has never seen such a funny fighter, but now this fighter that looks very funny at a glance just appeared and sent the two Type 97 attack planes that were dropping bombs to the bottom of the sea.

With the appearance of these two fighters, more and more large baby bottles began to appear behind them. Seeing these sudden appearance of fighters, Yasui Jiuneng almost gritted a mouthful of steel teeth, he knew that the last thing he wanted to see happened, because of that damn reconnaissance plane, the Third Army got the news in time, and now those planes stationed everywhere must be like locusts rushing here, Yasui Jiuneng did not dare to guarantee whether he could fulfill General Yuhuan's request.

Thinking of this, Yasui Jiuneng gritted his teeth and shouted viciously into the microphone: "Third squadron, immediately intercept the fighters of Shina, and we must not let them wantonly attack our attack planes again!" ”

"Hay!" With Yasui Hisano's order, more than thirty Zero fighters that were originally on alert in the air rushed towards the Raiden squadron that had just arrived.

The squadron that had just arrived was the third squadron under the Third Flying Regiment stationed in Lishui, which was fully equipped with P47 Thunderbolt fighters and was the first to rush to the port of Taizhou under the leadership of its captain Du Changfeng. Now seeing dozens of Zero fighters approaching his squadron, he sneered: "It's good, let Lao Tzu teach you how to fly a plane!" ”

Push the throttle valve with your left hand and pull the lever with your right hand. The R-2800-21W engine let out a crazy roar, and the powerful thrust of 2300 horsepower will press Du Changfeng on the seat, and the fighter he sat on was heading towards the sky at high altitude.

When the roaring fighter plane rushed to an altitude of five thousand meters, Du Changfeng saw that there were no other Zero fighters around him except for Ma Kaihang, who was following him closely. Du Changfeng was not surprised that there were no Japanese planes to keep up, although the Zero fighter was very flexible, but the most suitable altitude for it to fight was about 3,000 meters at a low altitude, and at high altitude their maneuverability would drop very quickly, so generally unless forced to do so, the pilots of the Zero fighter would not fight with people at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters.

Du Changfeng looked down, and could clearly see that dozens of Thunderbolt fighters in his squadron were fighting with almost the same number of Zero fighters, and the sky was full of bullet rain, and from time to time there were planes that were hit by bullets falling or fleeing into the distance with black smoke.

Seeing this, Du Changfeng did not hesitate, but aimed at the two Zero fighters that were flying in his direction and pounced......

To tell the truth, this is not the first time that Thunderbolt fighters have appeared on the battlefield, but in the past, their opponents were all pilots of the enemy's Sixth Flying Division, and for reasons that are well known, the personnel of the Army Aviation and the personnel of the Hainan Airlines are always not very easy to deal with, so it is understandable that the pilots of the Sixth Flying Division did not report this information to the personnel of the Hainan Airlines.

As the battle continued, these Japanese naval pilots also tasted the troubles of those pilots of the Sixth Flight Division, that is, although the flexibility of this fighter is not very good, the most outrageous thing about this fighter is that it is too strong, and the 7.7mm machine gun of the Zero fighter is difficult to fatally damage them unless it hits the fuel tank, cockpit and other vital points.

Seeing that the battle situation between the two sides was stalemate, a squadron leader asked Yasui for instructions: "Sir, please allow me to lead the third squadron down to support, otherwise with the second squadron, I am afraid it will be difficult to annihilate the Shina fighter squadron below!" ”

Yasui rejects the squadron leader's proposal: "Our mission is to cover the attack aircraft bombarding the French fleet, and I am sure that these are just the first wave of the Chinese planes, and there will be more fighters coming later, if we throw all our forces into it now, if any more fighters come and we will use anything to resist, then our attack aircraft group will probably be completely wiped out."

After listening to Yasui Hisano's analysis, the squadron leader couldn't help but be convinced and nodded again and again, and at this moment, a group of black-pressed planes appeared in the distance, and it turned out that the planes from Hangzhou had arrived...... (To be continued.) )
