Chapter 344: Sino-Japanese Air Battle!
readx; The Chinese Navy arrived at the mouth of the Yalu River, and the Navy was still nesting in the Sea at this time and did not dare to come out!
North Korea is within the range of the Chinese Air Force, and the bitter lesson of the last time has taught him that it will not end well in confronting the Chinese Navy in the China Sea. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, the company was developing rapidly in air defense technology, and the development of air defense artillery had reached a world-leading level.
But he still didn't know much about it.
If it was supposed to encounter an aircraft carrier, then they were absolutely sure, but the problem was that North Korea was going to encounter China's air force taking off and landing on the ground.
It was a huge bombing formation that could dispatch thousands of large planes, and the navy had no way to defend against it.
Therefore, the Yueben Navy can only watch the Chinese Navy appear at the mouth of the Yalu River, and they can only nest in Yueben.
However, the Chinese navy ran into trouble at the mouth of the Yalu River, saying that it had released too many mines.
A frigate was struck by a mine and sank on the spot, and five sailors were swept into the bottom of the sea by the whirlpool before they could escape, and disappeared.
If you want to shell the army, it is obviously not very easy to do it.
However, the Chinese Navy was more patient and began to carefully clear mines.
For those rough-skinned battleships, one or two mines could still be withstanded, but they had to be towed back for repairs.
As long as the mine is cleared carefully, there is generally not much risk.
By the time the fleet had advanced to a line where it could be shelled to the shore, the army's artillery had already begun to bombard the line of defense.
Ten small Davy mortars, aimed at the defense line on the opposite bank, cranes lifted the 1.7-ton shells, and then the gunners pushed the shells into the muzzles.
The gunner then controlled the barrel to slowly lift, and as the barrel was raised, the shell slid into the bottom of the gun.
After the long wires were moved to a few dozen meters away, but the gunners ran away, the gunner, who was responsible for the last step, pressed the firing button.
"Boom!"
After a loud bang, the shells were fired instantly.
The wooden planks on the ground around the artillery were all shaken three or four meters away, and if a person stood on the side, it was estimated that he would be directly shocked to death.
This is a giant mortar of 914mm caliber.
Ten kilometers away, on the defense line of the Yue army, the soldiers in the bunker looked at the shells whistling outside, but these shells did not bombard their bunkers.
Apparently the Chinese also knew that their shells could not be used against their pillboxes.
However, at this moment, a sharp whistling sound fell from the sky, and the experienced veterans of the army immediately judged that the shell was coming from them, but they only shrank their heads slightly, and were not afraid of the flying shells, because they were hiding in the strong fortress.
However, with a loud 'boom', the bunker was suddenly enveloped in a cloud of smoke and flying dirt.
The soldiers in the bunker only felt a violent shaking, and then something suddenly fell from the top of the bunker, and then exploded.
The entire bunker was instantly disintegrated by the bombing, and the concrete was blown up everywhere.
These cone-shaped shells were extremely penetrating, and the pillboxes built by the army on the ground were all one cannon and one hole.
Fortifications that can withstand 203mm caliber shells may not necessarily be able to withstand 914mm caliber mortar shells.
This 914mm mortar also has the component of mortar, and the Yankees have always liked to make mortars, and a large number of mortars were built during the Civil War.
Little David is arguably the craziest time America has ever had in terms of mortars, but it was also the last.
Xia Jun used the exchange platform to exchange ten doors in one go.
Ten little Davids opened fire one after another, and the defense line of the Yalu River was suddenly blown up to the point that there were gaps everywhere.
The soldiers of the Yue Army, who were originally very stable, were suddenly frightened by the violent shells and trembled, and soon hid in the underground fortifications under the command of the commander of the Yue Army.
The prelude to the bombing had begun, and the Air Force bombers and fighters had also been dispatched, and the first air battle between the two sides broke out on the Korean border.
The fighter pilots of the military discovered that the Chinese fighter had a fighter that had never been seen before, and that was a fighter that was very small but had an all-metal result.
And the flight speed is also very fast.
When the air forces of the two sides met, the Chinese air force adopted a strategy of meeting the enemy at an oblique angle, and the pilots of the army were inexperienced and rushed directly over.
As a result, Chinese fighters easily went around behind them.
"Dada...... Da Da ......"
Machine gun bullets whistled, and a Xiongying 3 fighter used by the Japanese army instantly caught fire in the fuselage and fell directly into the ground.
The Chinese Air Force knows very well about the fighter jets used by the Chinese army, which itself is a fighter produced in China.
While the Chinese Air Force uses the same Eagle 3 fighter as the Yue Army, it also has a smaller fighter.
This is a new fighter that has just been put to the test, the Thunderbolt-1.
This is a short-range fighter with a combat radius of 260 km, the fuselage is designed to be small, but the power is very good.
This makes this fighter very agile and fast, and because of the small fuselage, it is difficult for enemies to aim.
The first time it was put into actual combat testing, the fighters of the Yue army were dizzy by the Thunderbolt-1 fighter and did not reach the north as soon as possible.
I saw a Thunderbolt 3 fighter chasing behind a Thunderbolt 1 fighter, and the machine gun frantically strafed the Thunderbolt 1 fighter in front, but the Thunderbolt 1 fighter in front was hit by a bullet a few times between the left and right flashes, but after splashing some sparks, there was no follow-up, and there was no at all. Just as it was shooting well, the Thunderbolt-1 fighter suddenly pulled up sharply, and the fighter lost its target directly after rushing forward.
The Thunderbolt 1 fighter jet turned into the sky and did a backflip, appearing directly behind the fighter.
The development of the air force was very frustrating, and the fighter pilots basically did not have much actual combat experience, and when they found that the lost target actually appeared behind them, they couldn't help but panic for a while, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they could only speed up, trying to shake off the strange fighter behind them.
The speed of the Thunderbolt 1 behind him was very fast, which was the application of mechanical pressurization technology, and it bit the fleeing Yujun fighter in two clicks.
The machine gun opened fire suddenly, and the bullets raged on the fuselage of the fighter, although the Eagle 3 fighter was not very backward, but the fuselage was larger, and it was a wooden aircraft, not only the target was large, but also the bulletproof ability was not strong, compared to the newly equipped Thunderbolt 1, the Eagle 3 was already lagging behind.
In less than half a minute, the fighter plane fell from the sky with black smoke.
In the first air battle, the fighters of the Chinese Air Force were almost completely wiped out, and compared with the sophistication of the fighter pilots of the Chinese Air Force, the fighter pilots of the Chinese Air Force were still very young, and the fighters equipped were backward.
In this actual battle, there are also preliminary combat test results on the Thunderbolt-1 fighter, which is indeed a good short-range fighter.
At the same time, the design of the small body has also been verified to be feasible.
A fighter has better combat survivability only if the fuselage is smaller and the higher the maneuverability.
The success of short-range fighters means that China can gain solid air supremacy at tactical distances.
Pilots flying the Thunderbolt 1 love this kind of flight because the Thunderbolt 1 is very smooth and so easy to handle.
This is mainly due to the application of supercharging technology, which makes the acceleration of the aircraft very smooth.
However, exhaust gas turbocharging technology has not been used, and the technology is not yet mature and has not yet been applied to aircraft engines.
In the early morning of the next day, the bomber formation took off early, and it was not known what it was going to do, but it was very likely that it wanted to sneak attack the Chinese air force airfield, but it was captured by the Chinese radar station as soon as it took off.
Chinese Air Force fighters took off urgently to intercept.
The best way to defend the air is to destroy the enemy in the air.
It is said that the air force is not a reading force formation, but is subordinate to the command of the army, and the command of the army is said to have lost the air battle, so it decided to make a desperate bet.
If it can successfully bomb the Chinese airfield and destroy several thousand planes at the Chinese airfield, then the air force will still have an advantage.
But the idea is naïve.
How could Xia Jun not be on guard after he had an airplane, just build a ground radar station, it's a pig if he doesn't do such a simple thing!
There were probably more than 500 bombers in the bomber formation, all of which were trophies captured from the Germans, and most of them were made in China.
Such a huge bomber formation caused the Chinese Air Force to be in a lot of trouble early in the morning, and all kinds of planes took off one after another.
Parking at the airport is not safe.
The bombers, which took off one after another, also flew in the direction of North Korea.
"The army is going to bomb our airfield, and we're going to bomb their strategic facilities." Zheng Xuantao gave the relevant action order.
The bomber formation had just been flying in the sky for less than 20 minutes, when suddenly a Chinese fighter formation appeared in front of it.
The pilot couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, how did the Chinese Air Force find out about them?
There was no time to study this problem, and seeing that their deeds were revealed, the pilots of the bomber formation of the Japanese army stepped on the accelerator one after another and rushed all the way forward.
In the face of the bomber formation of the Chinese army, which was about to rush through the pass, the Chinese fighter formation intercepted at a 90-degree angle.
If it is intercepted face-to-face, it is easy to pass by, and then turn around and intercept may not be able to catch up, and the 90-degree angle interception is the most ideal.
The rushing formation of bombers was soon slaughtered, and black smoke continued to fall to the ground amid the sound of machine guns.
Most of these bombers are also tactical bombers produced in China, such as Hammer 2 and Hammer 3, but China's tactical bombers have a very serious problem, that is, weak firepower in air combat.
This problem was on full display on the battlefields of Europe.
However, this problem is not a problem for China, because the Chinese Air Force is sure to control absolute air supremacy from a tactical distance, and tactical bombers with too many machine guns are wasting bomb load.
As a result, it was very tragic in the hands of the Japanese Air Force, which had no air supremacy, and the bomber formation was beaten by the Chinese fighter formation and was almost powerless to fight back.
