Chapter 020: The Nu River Air Battle (Part I)
Wang Hanzhang asked these pilots to fly for more than 5 hours a day, and the effect was not bad, and the new tactics studied by 10 planes in one shot killed 3 of the devil's Zero at once.
The Japanese pilots were furious, the Zero was the best aircraft in Japan, and the pilots were not bad, so they lost three of the 15 planes in one shot, although they also had bullets on the enemy's planes, but it seemed that only sparks were fired, and they were not injured. The Japanese pilots felt that they had been fooled, and the enemy on the opposite side did not look like a novice. It must be that the information of Tegaoke is wrong.
But as much as they thought so, they wouldn't report it directly to their base just because of this one, they would definitely try it once and make sure that these pilots were veteran pilots before reporting it, and if that was the case, it was probably a conspiracy.
The planes of both sides are chasing me in the sky, but fortunately, the pilots in Japan are not the first batch, otherwise Wang Hanzhang's rookies are estimated to be few of them.
Since the outbreak of the Pacific War, Japan's best pilots have been sent to the Pacific, especially after several naval battles, Japan's best pilots have suffered heavy losses.
Now India is still in contention, and the United States wants to win over Britain, so it must consume the Japanese army's vital forces and materials to the maximum extent in the Pacific.
After Wang Hanzhang founded the country, the Gosi River to the Nu River was already unbreakable, and Japan could only be sure to take the Qin State unless it mobilized 800,000 Japanese troops to attack with all its might, but Japan now has so many troops drawn there, and the Kwantung Army cannot move, and Japan will not be reluctant to seek the near and far.
And India is different, the Japanese army was only defeated by the remaining 100,000 remnants of the squadron, but it actually turned India into a pot of porridge, and now no one on both sides can help anyone for the time being, but if Japan does not have a major war elsewhere, then Japan will inevitably mobilize a large number of forces to attack the British army in India, and India will inevitably not be protected at that time.
The British lost Burma, lost Malaya, and now India still has half of it, and the British will definitely not give up India, and if Japan completely controls India, then it will attack Persia, and then the whole Middle East.
In addition, even if Britain doesn't care about those supplies, but the United States still has to think about it, after the fall of Persia, then Soviet Russia will not get much aid, and it is difficult to say whether Soviet Russia can withstand Germany's attack at that time, and the United States does not want Japan to meet with Germany in North Africa at that time, in that case, the allies will be too passive, so this is a must-fight situation for the United States.
There is no shortage of pilots in the United States, and many families in the United States have private jets, although the structure is simpler than the current fighter jets, but there is not much difference, at least hundreds or even thousands of hours of flight experience, and it is much faster to get started.
The United States has also been intensifying its offensive in many aspects of its own considerations, so in terms of the quantity and quality of American superiority, there are not many of the hundreds of excellent pilots trained by Japan before the war. It can be said that Wang Hanzhang picked up a big bargain.
Wang Hanzhang's air force relied on the previous intensive learning of the advantages and disadvantages of the planes of both sides of the enemy, flying skills, and also carried out bombing missions, so although the combat experience was not rich, but with excellent performance and previous efforts, the pilots slowly stabilized the situation after the Japanese army exerted its might.
Gao Fei because of his outstanding performance, so he served as the captain of the P51, after the initial panic, he slowly got rid of the Japanese plane with his previous training and experience, and became a passenger-oriented, and now he is chasing a Zero fighter, the other party is obviously not a vegetarian, the plane is in the sky and into the ground, doing various actions to get rid of Gao Fei's pursuit.
While Gao Fei was in hot pursuit, he occasionally fired at the moment of aim, but he was dodged by the devil.
The pursuit was almost three minutes, the Japanese pilot was a little impatient, the enemy plane bit him tightly, no matter how to dodge, just when he was distracted, Gao Fei finally found an opportunity, as soon as the front sight aimed at this Zero, Gao Fei immediately fired, the thin-skinned Zero could not withstand the blow, and soon decomposed in the air.
The other pilots also relied on the excellent performance of the aircraft to get rid of the pursuit of the Zero, and attacked one after another, and the Japanese planes were shot down one after another.
The pilots of the Qin Army said in their hearts that after all, they were good aircraft, and the gap in technology could indeed change the battlefield.
Twenty-five minutes after the air battle, the radar station set up by the Qin State in Bago spotted another wave of planes flying from the direction of Bangkok, with more than 20 planes, and the radar station immediately reported the incident to the commander of the Air Force.
And the air force immediately judged that it was the devil's reinforcements, although the zero aircraft is not very good now, but it is still more than excellent to deal with the planes other than the P51 of the Qin State, not to mention that the pilots of the Qin State are all rookies, and the Japanese pilots are more experienced than the pilots of the Qin State, and the weapons have a big advantage and can be beaten, if nothing is as good as Japan, then there is no way to fight.
The Air Department brightly took off all the P40s to meet them, but they could only meet them over the land controlled by the coalition forces, so that if the planes were not good, they could also parachute into the controlled area of their own troops and be rescued.
The P51 was ordered to immediately leave the battle and return home, Qin did not have many planes, and there was no way to produce them, if these ten planes were gone, then Qin would not even have the power to deter, so it could not lose these planes in vain.
And after the Air Force received the telegram, they did not entangle, and their gasoline was almost running out, and if they were entangled by the second wave of planes of the devils, it was estimated that it would be difficult to get out.
As soon as the Japanese Air Force saw where the Qin planes were going, they chased after them and wanted to drag the Qin planes and wait for the second wave of planes to come and clean them up, but the Zero was far from the P51 after all, and after a few minutes, it was finally thrown away.
When the second wave of Japanese planes arrived, they found that the Qin planes had fled, so they went to bomb the river-crossing troops instead.
However, the coalition forces have stopped crossing the river, there is no coalition army on the river, and the Japanese army does not dare to fly into the hinterland of Qin, they are also worried about an ambush, so they can only bombard the place where the river is crossed.
Just as they were about to leave, 15 P40s and several other planes that had already taken off burst out of the clouds and pounced on the Devil group.
The devils began to shoot almost the bullets, and P40 was waiting for this opportunity, but I didn't expect the devils to really follow Wang Hanzhang's idea.
Those and the two sides are camouflaged, the purpose is to attract the devils to bomb, and when the devil planes are vented, the Qin Air Force will come out to clean them up, there is no ammunition and gasoline planes, Wang Hanzhang believes that the rookies who drive the P40 should be able to deal with it.
Soon the planes that rushed out of the clouds made a big jump for the Japanese army, in fact, they should have been able to think of this, but they relied on their careful planning, and there were many and advanced planes, so they ignored that there were other planes in the Qin State besides the P51, or they thought that other planes were not to worry about at all, or they thought that these planes should come out when they appeared, and if they didn't come out, it meant that the Qin Air Force was afraid.
In short, they may have thought of countless possibilities, but it doesn't matter anymore, these planes themselves cost a lot of gasoline when they flew over, and then stayed at the ferry for nearly 20 minutes, but these degrees are not the most critical, the most critical thing is that they don't have much ammunition, and they just hit too hard.
There were 20 planes in this wave of Qin, divided into ten formations, and they did not dare to act alone like the P51, they were divided into two large formations to kill the Japanese Air Force. Soon intertwined.
The rookies with plenty of ammunition fired fiercely at the devil planes as soon as they took aim, but the Japanese did not dare, their ammunition was almost exhausted, so they could only find an opportunity to escape while looking for an opportunity to fire, and if the ammunition was completely gone, they could only dodge and wait for death.
The Zero was okay, with its superior performance to the P40, it could handle it with ease, but the other Japanese planes, especially those bombers, were miserable, and they were driven down one by one, and the coalition forces on the ground all cheered when they saw this scene.
And after the P51 landed at the nearest airfield, it immediately refueled and loaded with ammunition, and it was all done in ten minutes, and the plane immediately took off, and they were going to take out the devil plane that was entangled in the second wave of planes.
In the sky over the ferry, planes from both sides were shot down from time to time, and the devils also knew that this was not the area controlled by their own army, so they did not parachute, and the Qin Air Force parachuted according to the relevant regulations when the plane was no longer saved.
Four of the Qin planes have been shot down, but fortunately, the devils lack ammunition, so the pilots can still parachute, and only one was blown up by volley.
And the devil's thirty planes, those bulky bombers were killed one by one, and for a time the devil's planes were less than ten at once, and now the ones in the air are basically zero planes.
Seeing that there were few bombers left and nothing to protect, the Zero fled to Thailand, but they had wasted a lot of time.
Soon the P51 caught up, and nearly thirty planes besieged these Zero planes without ammunition, there was no fuel, no ammunition, and no reinforcements came, and a massacre followed.
The pilots of the Qin army did not frolic with these zeros, they quickly killed all the devil planes in line with the idea of a quick battle and a quick victory and a good promotion to the devil plane. In the end, in the air battle on this day, the Qin Air Force defeated more than 40 enemy planes, while it lost five old-fashioned planes, and the pilots lost their names, which can be said to be a great victory.
Wang Hanzhang was very happy after receiving the news, and immediately informed the whole army of the news, and the soldiers no longer have fear of the devil, and now the devil is no longer a wolf for the Qin army and the coalition army, but a fat sheep.
