(Five hundred and eleven) The end of Japan's ace pilots
Of course, Kitai Shaozo understood that the child was going to report the news. Www.HunHun.Net mixed * mixed novel network/no pop-up ads full text TXT download, but he can't stop it anymore.
He boarded the plane and started to start, but unfortunately the engine could turn but the plane could not take off. As the minutes passed, and before he could make any further efforts, a small group of Chinese soldiers in cars appeared, and behind them, hundreds of Chinese peasants armed with rifles and farm implements.
Looking at the crowd that appeared around the plane, the Japanese pilot drew his pistol and watched in horror at the people who were getting closer and closer outside the cockpit.
He saw that the hostile crowd that was slowly gathering was not only silent men, but also women and children. The child hid behind the grown-ups, staring at him timidly as if to understand why the man who had fallen from the sky and the behemoth plane frightened them.
Kitai Shiro suddenly sighed.
He was reminded again of the glorious sunshine of northern Japan, the golden fields and dense black forests of autumn, the women in kimonos and the children playing. There was no war there, and the Japanese did not have to live all day in fear of strafing planes and bomb explosions. But why did these Chinese who did not understand the language in front of him, those land cultivators who had nothing to do with the war and Kitai Shiro, appear beside him?
The crowd stopped not too far from the plane.
The distance between the two old enemies was shortened to only a dozen meters, and they could even see the hairs on each other's faces clearly, and the Japanese Shaozo saw the burning anger and hatred in the eyes of the Chinese. Then he understood that he could not escape punishment, and that all resistance or regret would be of no avail. In this foreign and tranquil land, the Japanese soldiers must finally put an end to their aggression.
The pilot still sat upright, calmly and even smiled at the Chinese in a friendly way. He looked at the familiar cockpit of the plane, touched the instrument panel and joystick one last time like saying goodbye to an old friend, and then slowly raised his gun and pulled the trigger on his head.
With a "bang", the cockpit canopy suddenly turned blood-red......
At about the same time, Uda Taki Ni Osa, known as one of Japan's "bombing aces," was ordered to lead 50 planes belonging to the 13th Air Force of the Naval Air Force to support the "China Task Force," which launched a surprise attack on Beijing, the Chinese capital.
When China and Japan officially went to war, the Japanese army had 2,240 combat aircraft on its own territory and 1,760 deployed in southern Japan. According to Japanese intelligence, China has 4,760 combat planes along the coast and in the general administrations of various provinces adjacent to Japan, and 1,240 combat planes deployed in the Beijing-Tianjin area alone.
At the beginning of the war, the Japanese army aviation took the initiative to attack and bomb the Chinese fleet and ground targets on a large scale, intercepting the bomber groups of the Chinese air force; in the first two months, Japan shot down a total of 161 Chinese planes and damaged dozens of them, thus achieving considerable results, while Japan's own losses were slightly less than this number. But in later times, as the war widened further, Chinese planes swarmed in, so the balance of air combat was irrevocably tilted rapidly in favor of the powerful side.
Since China has a strong domestic aircraft manufacturing industry, the Chinese, who have developed a developed aviation industry, will continuously throw various new aircraft developed by themselves into the battlefield, and once Chinese planes are shot down and damaged, they will be quickly replenished. Although Japan's aviation industry is also well developed, it is still insufficient compared to China's, and in order to gain air superiority, after the Pacific front has basically stabilized, the Japanese side has transferred the main force of naval aviation fighting in the South Seas region back to the mainland. …,
The arrival of the "bombing ace" Uda Daisa is undoubtedly a concrete embodiment of such measures. Mixed & Mixed Novel Network // (hunhun no / pop-up window wide / advertise full text TXT download)
Uda Daisa is a well-known air hero in Japan and a veteran ace pilot in the naval aviation. In the battle across the South Seas, Uda Takiji, who was still a lieutenant pilot at the time, showed amazing talent in the battle to bomb the enemy, not only skillfully flying his plane to bomb Guam, Manila, and Singapore, chasing and strafing the enemy's marching troops, but on one occasion he accurately threw a bomb from the air into the chimney of a house on the ground as if performing acrobatics.
Later, in Colombo and Malaya, the Japanese bombers he piloted hung like the shadow of death over the city and the countryside. As an arrogant and conceited Japanese emperor, the goal of the emperor is to drive out the British and American "ghost animals", conquer China, establish the Greater East Asia Co-prosperity Sphere, and let the glory of the Japanese emperor illuminate the Asian continent and shine on every yellow-skinned Asian in the world.
The bomber fleet led by Uda not only scorched many cities and villages of the Allied countries, but also sank many merchant ships and cargo ships of the Allied countries, killing many civilians with and without weapons, so his military rank and status also skyrocketed, and he became an air hero worshiped by the Japanese people. The trick to Uda's success was simple, the proud Imperial pilot didn't even think about his enemies, and he didn't even think that the enemy could shoot down his heavy bombers from an altitude of 10,000 feet.
His self-confidence, on the one hand, comes from the boldness of the skilled people, and on the other hand, it also comes from the arrogance of the Japanese in their bones.
After attacking Truk's Chinese fleet, the "bombing ace" Uda Taki Ni Daisa was ordered to lead his team back to the mainland, and he was tasked with supporting the Japanese army in southern Korea and blocking the waterways in southern Korea. Cut off the logistics lines of the North Korean army and squadrons, and sink all Chinese ships on the route.
For several days in a row, the 13th Air Force went down to the Korean theater of operations in a vigorous and overwhelming manner, wantonly bombing and strafing along the Nakdong River, and dumping 10-ton and 100-ton bombs on the bows of unarmed Korean merchant ships. This made Uda feel unusually ashamed. He has always been eager to be washed away with the blood of his enemies.
Early last month, Japanese agents lurking in the interior of North Korea reported that North Korean warships were regularly spotted along the Nakdong River. After repeated reconnaissance by the planes, it was found that there were indeed two DPRK warships hidden in the harbor on the north bank of the Nakdong River, and they recognized that they were the two new-type destroyers "Hanyang" and "Jeonju" that the DPRK Government purchased from China last year. At the beginning of the war, the Korean fleet, with only a handful of warships, followed the Chinese navy, and the two new destroyers had attacked the Japanese mainland, sinking many Japanese merchant ships, and had never been found by Japanese aircraft.
In the afternoon of the same day, Uda Osa personally led 22 heavy bombers escorted by 28 fighters to the Nakdong River.
The next day it was agreed that Japanese agents on the ground would fire flares to indicate the target, and the bombers would then attack.
On this day, the clouds cleared and the ground visibility was good, and the aircraft group rumbled over the mouth of the Nakdong River in search of targets. The river surface in this area is open and the terrain is complex, the rivers, lakes and ports are crisscrossed and crisscrossed, and there are many small hills, small sandbars, and small islands, which are convenient for warships to camouflage and conceal, so that the experienced Uda Takiji and his group of planes widened their eyes and repeatedly circled and searched without finding a target.
However, at this moment, a flare dragging white smoke rose into the air, followed by another one. The Japanese planes flew low at a low altitude guided by the signal flares, and only then did they discover two carefully camouflaged North Korean warships anchored under the cliff face of the small island in the middle of the river. …,
The North Korean warships that exposed their targets were like prey driven out of their burrows by harrier eagles, and they fired hard at the planes in a desperate attempt to escape the deadly blow from the air while firing full force in a zigzag evasion maneuver.
Japanese planes chased their targets greedily like wolves in winter, and bombs fell from the sky with a heart-pounding scream. The inferior North Korean warships desperately resisted, and the dense anti-aircraft artillery fire was like white fireworks blooming all over the sky. A few minutes later, artillery fire hit the Japanese planes one after another. When two Japanese heavy bombers dragged a long stream of smoke into the water and splashed high columns of water, the Korean people watching the battle along the coast let out bursts of enthusiastic cheers one after another.
Enraged, Uda Daisa was determined to end the fight immediately.
He ordered the bombers to climb high to avoid enemy fire, and then two groups relaunched the attack from different directions and heights. The moment the enemy's artillery fire was dispersed, several heavy bombs hit the "Hanyang" at the same time, and one of them penetrated the deck into the engine room and exploded, and the warship was immediately paralyzed and burst into flames. Another wounded ship, the Jeonju, began to cast a smoke screen in an attempt to escape the blow, but unfortunately hit the sand reef in the center of the river and ran aground, so the "bombing ace" Uda Daisa himself performed a stunt and sent an 800-pound armor-piercing shell into the chimney of the North Korean warship. A succession of Japanese planes then surrounded the immobile Korean warships and bombed them indiscriminately until they watched as the two battered destroyers were engulfed in flames and capsized and sank into the middle of the river.
The Japanese planes, which had won a great victory, chased after the Korean civilians who were helping the war on the shore and strafed for a while, causing the village to catch fire and the crowd crying and calling their mother's house to rush to the left and right, and then the formation returned to the ship without exhaustion.
On the way back, the group flew over Liyang, Jiangsu, and the escort fighters spotted a large plane flying from south to north, and Uda Daizo personally followed and tracked it for several minutes, confirming that it was a large Chinese seaplane on a reconnaissance mission.
As soon as Uda Dazuo saw the slender white fuselage of the Chinese plane, he felt a kind of anxious murder in his heart, as if a rapist smelled a woman's breath in the dark night and couldn't help himself. He did not think at all about why such a Chinese plane would appear in this sea area.
When Uda watched a Chinese plane swagger in front of him with impunity, his heart was filled with a sense of shame akin to dereliction of duty. At this time, the pilots' war passion was still surging, their reason had not yet been restored, the bloody smell of war still made their brains extremely excited, and their eyes were still shaking with the smoke of bomb explosions and the fire of heavy machine gun fire. For the crazy Japanese servicemen, fighting was everything.
So Uda Osa categorically decided to attack the enemy aircraft. He personally piloted the plane to open fire, and the first string of shells cut off the wings of the Chinese plane diagonally. Half a minute later, the accurate machine shell knocked out half of the plane's tail and blew two large holes in the cabin. The Japanese had hoped to watch the Chinese plane whirl painfully in the air, dragging long black smoke into the sea and turning into a pile of wreckage, but instead of catching fire, exploding or crushing to pieces, the plane stumbled and landed on a beach on the island and survived. The sturdiness of China's large seaplanes can be seen in general.
The successful forced landing of the Chinese plane made Uda Osa even more angry.
One of the greatest virtues of the Japanese nation is their inferiority, and they say at every turn: Please die, please! As if it were a great honor to let you die. Now the fact that the Chinese planes are unwilling to die makes the Uda Daisa feel very insulted and their self-esteem is greatly hurt, so the Japanese planes work together to assist Uda Daisa to beat the Chinese who tried to escape from the cabin to the flesh and blood, and the plane is blown to pieces. …,
Uda Osa didn't expect that a catastrophe was quietly approaching.
Just as Uda Daisa's men were excited and comfortable on their way back, less than half an hour later, the escort fighters sounded the alarm:
"Enemy aircraft spotted due east! More than 10 crosses! ”
Uda raised his eyebrows, very unimpressed by the fuss of the escort fighters.
According to what he knows, the performance of the "Skylark" fighter and "Swift" fighter equipped by the Chinese Navy is still a little worse than the "Gale" fighter of the Japanese Navy and the "Gale" fighter of the Japanese Army Aviation (because the "Beiyang Aviation" has found a strong development potential of this series in the P1M "Skylark" series of combat training aircraft, and at the same time, the Chinese Navy in view of the threat of the A7M "Gale" series fighters of the Japanese Naval Aviation, It was required to specialize in the design of a new carrier-based fighter. The P4 "Swift" carrier-based fighter was thus born. In view of the superiority of the opponent's "Gale", the P4 "Swift" carrier-based fighter designed the standards of armored cockpit, strong firepower, high speed, and high maneuverability, made full use of the laminar flow wing and automatic air combat flaps of the original P1M "Skylark" series, and designed the leading edge edge strip wing in view of the disadvantage of the "Gale" in high-speed diving. To be precise, the "Swift" fighter is a specially designed P1M "Skylark" advanced training aircraft), and with the superb combat skills of Japanese pilots, there is no need to worry at all, not to mention that there are only about 10 enemy planes.
But soon Uda Daisa found out that the Chinese fighter who appeared in front of him was neither a "Skylark" nor a "Swift"!
Four ugly Chinese fighters with blue camouflage paint roared and rushed over, completely ignoring the attacks of the Japanese "Gale" fighters around them, and rushed straight at the Japanese bombers.
Seeing the Chinese fighters' reckless play, the Japanese fighter pilots who are good at dog fighting seem to be a little at a loss.
Uda noticed that a Chinese fighter was hit by the machine gunners of the bombers in his formation, but instead of smoke and fire or explosion, it shot a stream of fire and hit the Japanese bomber that hit it into flames, just as Uda Dazuo had just hit the large Chinese seaplane.
Soon, one after another, Japanese bombers fell into the sea with flames and smoke.
Different from the dogfight tactics of the Chinese fighters in the past, these Chinese fighters did not fall in love with the battle after winning the first blow, but quickly broke away from contact with the Japanese fighters, flew into the air and quickly dived down again, and began another round of attacks.
Such tactics that completely rely on their own high speed, heavy armor, and strong firepower seem stupid, but at this moment they are very effective, although the Chinese fighters were hit many times by Japanese escort fighters, and some of them also smoked, but it seems that the combat effectiveness did not decrease, but succeeded again and again to hit the Japanese bombers into flames.
Uda Osa knew that he was running into a new type of Chinese carrier-based fighter, a whole new group of opponents.
What the Japanese did not know was that what appeared in front of Uda's eyes was the Chinese Navy's new "Wind Thunder" carrier-based fighter.
The P3M "Woolly Rhinoceros" heavy fighter designed by the Chinese Air Force and Army Air Force, the "Republic" Aviation, which was jointly founded by Russian immigrants Shevelsky and Katveli in China, has won unanimous praise from the officers and men, while the original "Swift" carrier-based fighter of the Chinese Navy does not have much advantage in the face of the A7M "Gale" fighter of the Japanese Naval Aviation. Seeing the Chinese Air Force's P3M "Woolly Rhino" heavy fighter in the face of the "Gale" in the Siberian battlefield, the Chinese Navy also invited "Republic Aviation" to design a P3M "Woolly Rhino" heavy fighter-style carrier-based fighter.
Previously, in order to open up the market of the Chinese Navy, the "Republic Aviation" carried out a test of the carrier-based type on the basis of the "woolly rhino", and the carrier-based prototype flew in July 1943, and later continued to improve according to the different opinions of the navy, installing laminar flow wings and automatic air combat flaps, and strengthening the combat capability at medium and low altitudes. At the same time, in order to ensure convenient production, the ugly appearance of the previous "woolly rhinoceros" was followed, with a maximum level flight speed of 708 kilometers per hour and a dive speed of 823 kilometers per hour. Compared with the stout "Woolly Rhino", the overall appearance of the "Wind Thunder" heavy carrier-based fighter is more slender and handsome, but it is in the same vein as high speed, heavy armor, heavy armament, and long range, but it also ensures a good maneuverability and fighting ability.
