Chapter 484: An Explanation to Everyone
"When the ......" Su Jin, who was holding his son and teasing him, the rattle in his hand fell to the ground and made a crisp sound.
"What? The flight group suffered heavy losses, the 1st and 2nd squadrons suffered heavy losses? After hearing the news, Su Jin's face immediately changed, and at this time, Zhang Wanniang, who was sitting on the side drinking porridge, saw her husband's face, and quickly put down the porridge and walked over quickly to pick up the child.
"What the hell is going on, you report the situation to me in detail immediately!"
Zhou Yusheng, who was standing in front of him, also had an ugly face: "Junzao, the situation is still being counted, but there have been fighter planes returning one after another, if you want to know the detailed situation, I suggest you go to the airport in person and ask the person concerned or Captain Chu." ”
"Okay, let's go to the airport right away!" Su Jin didn't say anything, and after telling Zhang Wanniang, he immediately drove to the airport with Zhou Yusheng.
The airport in the western suburbs of Hangzhou is very large, covering an area of more than 500 hectares, and is the largest airport in Zhejiang, since the recovery of Hangzhou, Su Jin moved the aviation school from Hengzhou to here, this afternoon, when the second phase of flight students under the leadership of the instructors just came back from the outside exercise, they saw the airport sounded a shrill siren.
The trainees were all taken aback when they looked at the fire trucks and ambulances speeding by, and many sharp-eyed trainees immediately realized that something was wrong when they saw the ugly faces on the faces of the instructors next to them.
"Look, something big is wrong!"
"Something's wrong, look at those cars!"
Just when the students were talking, an instructor shouted: "What do you see, don't you see that something is happening now?" Why don't you come with me and help! ”
Following the instructor's order, more than 200 second-class students ran towards the runway, and just as they were panting to the central runway, they heard a roar like an old cow panting in the sky, and then a black shadow appeared in the sky.
"Oh my God, how did that wildcat come to be like this?" With the exclamation of a student, a smoke-emitting wildcat fighter staggered over the runway, only to see it slowly descend while lowering the landing gear, and then began to shakinate on the runway to prepare to land, and when the wildcat flew over the runway, a student pointed at it in surprise and shouted: "Look, its tail is gone!" ”
Everyone looked at it, and it turned out that the tail rudder of this Wildcat fighter was missing by more than half, and the shaved tail rudder was jagged, as if it had been gnawed off by a mouse. There were also bullet holes all over the fuselage, and everyone couldn't help but gasp when they saw the embarrassed appearance of this wild cat, and they didn't know how to describe their mood when this plane was like this.
I saw that the wild cat swayed its body and dived towards the runway, and then crashed into the runway, the force made the wild cat bounce up dozens of centimeters, and then fell heavily to the ground and bounced a few times before it began to slide, and it slid for seventy or eighty meters before stopping.
As soon as the wildcat stopped, the fire truck and ground crew, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over. The fire extinguisher on the fire truck kept spraying at the fuel tank and the smoking part of the plane, and at the same time, a ground crew grabbed the wing and jumped onto the plane with an arrow step, pushed open the lid of the cabin, and hugged a bloody pilot down, and soon the flight was pulled away by the ambulance that had been waiting for a long time.
"Quick...... Another plane is back! ”
With the sound of the ground crew, the ground crew hurriedly pushed the still smoking plane to the grass next to the runway, and it was not long before more than a dozen Wildcat fighters and Bf-109 fighters began to land on the airport one after another.
In the following half an hour, one after another, planes began to return home, as one plane after another landed at the airport, the faces of the ground crew on the airport became more and more ugly, but they received the news that today's battle of the black crow squadron and the wildcat squadron all participated, the two squadrons have a total of 60 planes, but they counted only 27 planes back and forth, that does not mean that in today's battle they lost 33 fighters at once.
"Squeak......
A speeding Willis jeep stopped next to the runway, and before the car could stop, Su Jin jumped out of the car, looking at the scarred fighters on the airport, his already bad face became even more ugly, and he summoned a pilot who had just returned and ordered: "Is Chu Yuan back, let him come to see me immediately!" ”
Soon, Chu Yuan, who was sweating profusely, trotted to Su Jin, and said loudly in a hoarse voice: "Report to the military seat, Chu Yuan was ordered to come and report!" ”
Su Jin frowned and asked, "Captain Chu, can you tell me what the hell is going on?" ”
"Junza, today we are kind of stubble." Chu Yuan said today's battle with a sad and indignant face.
At noon, after receiving a telegram from the ground troops asking for help, Chu Yuan, who was sitting at the airport, immediately sent the planes of the two squads that were patrolling nearby, but they did not expect that the scale of the Japanese planes was greatly beyond their expectations, and the patrol planes that arrived first did not dare to slack off, and immediately began to call for reinforcements and reported the news that they had discovered the new Japanese fighters, and after receiving the report on the patrol results, Chu Yuan did not dare to slack off, and immediately sent all the fighters to Taizhou.
Half an hour later, when Chu Yuan arrived in Taizhou with more than 40 fighters, the patrol fighters that arrived first were basically either shot down or seriously injured and began to return home. Under the rage, Chu Yuan immediately took the lead in attacking, but as soon as the two sides fought, his flying group fell into a bitter battle, the Japanese army not only had an absolute numerical advantage, but also eleven new fighters that he had never seen, this fighter was beyond the wildcat in terms of speed, fear of victory rate and turning radius, and even the Bf-109, which was known for its dexterity, could not compare to it, especially its climbing speed was amazingly fast, Chu Yuan saw with his own eyes that a wildcat fighter was chasing a new Japanese fighter and was about to aim, But the other party just jumped, and the plane turned lightly and easily circled the tail of the wildcat, and then shot down the wildcat.
After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, Chu Yuan lost nearly half of the more than 40 fighters he had brought with him, and Chu Yuan, seeing that the situation was not good, had to quickly order the planes to lower their altitude and escape under the cover of ground anti-aircraft artillery.
After listening to Chu Yuan's story, Su Jin didn't need to think much to know what was going on, it seems that the Zero fighter that should only appear in the sky of China in July next year began to appear in advance because of his butterfly.
"Careless...... Careless! Looking at the scarred fighters not far away, Su Jin let out a long sigh, and he immediately realized that his mistake had caused the flight team to suffer heavy losses. Originally, he thought that it would be more than half a year before the Japanese Zero fighters appeared, and the existing Wildcat and Bf-109 fighters would be enough to deal with the Japanese aircraft, and he would wait for the second batch of flight cadets to graduate in another month. But as the old saying goes, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and he didn't expect that due to his own reasons, the Japanese air force company suffered several defeats, which in turn made the Japanese military circles have a sharp increase in the urgency of the new fighter, which led to the early appearance of the Zero fighter.
Slowly closing his eyes, calming down the emotions in his heart, Su Jin opened his eyes again and asked, "Have the results of the loss of the flying group been counted?" ”
"It's been counted." Chu Yuan took out the report that had just been counted from his pocket and wanted to hand it to Su Jin, but Su Jin did not take it, but waved his hand to signal him to read it out.
Chu Yuan had to take a deep breath and read: "Thirty-three of our fighters were shot down in this air battle, including eighteen Wildcat fighters and fifteen Messerschmidt fighters. Pilot killed...... Nineteen were killed, fourteen escaped by parachuting and twelve were wounded. We shot down seven Japanese planes and damaged six, with a battle damage ratio of 33:7! ”
When he read this, Chu Yuan only felt that his face was hot as if someone else had slapped him, thirty-three to seven, this result made him almost ashamed, this record can be called the biggest shame since the establishment of the flying team, which also made him, the captain, so ashamed that he almost had his head in the crotch of his pants.
Su Jinchang took a breath, patted the shoulder of the discharged hospital and said, "I don't blame you for this, and it doesn't matter to any pilot, if you want to talk about responsibility, the biggest responsibility should be me!" ”
"No, sir...... How is this your responsibility? As soon as Su Jin said this, Chu Yuan felt even more guilty in his heart. Oh...... My party lost the battle, but put the responsibility on the head of the military seat, is there anything more shameless than this?
"Needless to say, this matter is indeed my inconsiderate decision, which cost many brothers their lives!" Su Jin waved his hand, to be honest, Su Jin did think so, he could have reminded these pilots in advance, but because of his own negligence, nineteen pilots died, which made him feel very guilty.
Su Jin turned around, looked at the pilot who gradually surrounded him, and said loudly: "Brothers, we lost this battle today, but it's not over yet. We must find this field back, please wait patiently for a few more days, in a few days I will give you an explanation, and at the same time give an explanation to the Japanese! ”
When he said this, Su Jin's eyes showed a hideous murderous aura...... (To be continued.) )
