All the pilots of the Japanese Army Aviation knew the 0:50 record, and not a single fighter returned to the airfield, only the gray Kosu Nakamichi. After receiving the order to attack all, they were full of resolute expressions, and some of them even had fanaticism on their faces, and the time had come to be loyal to the emperor!

"Fight to the death!" The slogan of victory was changed to a battle to the death, because knowing that the probability of survival in this battle was not high, they finally realized that even if they had a large number of aircraft, they were still no match for Huaguo's fighters before quantitative changes were transformed into qualitative changes. One after another biplane fighters soared from the airfield, like moths to a fire.

"Our planes are not as fast as them, they have poor climbing performance, and they can only lure them into a low altitude and fight with them, remember, and they are more courageous than they are, and at low altitudes use our fighters to fight with them bayonets!" The tactical arrangements for operations before take-off lingered in the ears of the Japanese pilots.

At the long-range anti-aircraft radar station in Kagoshima, the radar crew on duty spotted the dense light spots on the display screen, immediately analyzed and verified it, and immediately transmitted the information to the air force headquarters after confirming that it was the enemy aircraft group.

The long-awaited moment finally came, and the ground radar station transmitted the information to the air force command, which then arranged a plan to meet the enemy according to the enemy situation and the situation of the Chinese army's fighter divisions. The order was transmitted to the fighters on the front line through radio waves, and soon, the dive bombers began to return after throwing all the bombs indiscriminately, and the fighters with sufficient fuel and ammunition turned their noses to face the direction of the Japanese fighters.

A few minutes later, Chinese fighters appeared in the sky above the Japanese fighters. Since the Japanese biplane fighters had a very short range, most of the field airfields were located close to the Kagoshima defense line on the front line, in order to gain more time in the air. Under the guidance of ground-based radar, the Mustang fighter only needs one acceleration to accurately find the Japanese aircraft group.

The clear weather gave the Japanese pilots a considerable field of vision, and they craned their heads, hoping to find the enemy before the Chinese attacked. At this moment, the 12 fighters of the 15th Squadron of the Chinese Army were hiding in the clouds like killers, and according to the instructions and directions provided by the ground, the enemy was under the clouds in the direction of four o'clock.

Some of the fighters returned home to replenish fuel and ammunition, which weakened the 15th Squadron by half, but what they saw after emerging from the clouds surprised them even more. There were at least 70 Japanese fighters at the target diagonally, and the squadron leader and his men knew different types of Japanese fighters -- there were pictures and text descriptions in the briefing, and most of the Japanese fighters below were P01 biplane fighters with radios and Taisho three-year biplane fighters with firing coordinators, which were the best fighter groups in the Japanese army.

"Squadron Leader, what should I do?"

"Cold salad! The arrow is ready to be struck. Two-plane formation, wingman cover, dive attack, quickly pull up after the attack, be careful not to fight with the enemy at low altitude, protect your own safety. They are superior in numbers, and if they are surrounded at low altitudes, the danger does not need to be said by me. ”

"Understood!" The response is categorical, and everyone understands the truth that ants bite and kill elephants, and before becoming an ace pilot and a super ace, no one wants to die because of these backward biplane fighters.

The temporary formation of two planes quickly divided into long wingmen, and now there is no need to compete for the results of the battle - if there are many targets, it is enough to attack in rotation, and fuel and ammunition can also be saved.

The Mustang fighter group before the dive was immediately discovered by the Japanese, and according to the previous deployment, the group began to disperse and move at low altitudes. Even with a relatively complete deployment, when attacked by Mustang fighters, there was still confusion in the Japanese aircraft group, and the biplane fighters swayed left and right, trying to get rid of the attacking Mustang fighters, but they were still hit by large-caliber machine gun bullets. The fragile wooden body and structure can't take too many hits, and even if it doesn't hit a critical part, it can lose control.

The Chinese pilots strictly obeyed the squadron leader's orders, retreated with one blow, did not bother to fight, and immediately looked for new targets after climbing to a certain height. Their wingmen must be vigilant, and if the long plane gets caught in a low-altitude dogfight, they will be the first to come to the rescue.

Thirteen Japanese fighters were killed in two dive attacks, and Japanese pilots were growing, and the experience of fighting Chinese fighters many times taught them a lot. For example, the advantage of the Chinese fighters in their relatively fast speed is offset by horizontal maneuvers -- the turning radius of the Mustang is much larger than that of the biplane fighters; for example, after entering a low altitude, the advantages in numbers are used to offset the Mustang in dive and vertical performance; once the Chinese fighters cannot withstand the temptation, the Japanese fighters will surround them like hungry wolves.

Not being allowed to fight at low altitudes does not mean that the Mustang fighter has poor low-altitude performance, even if it is not as maneuverable as fighters such as the FW109 and Spitfire, it is much better than those biplanes. High-speed dives and climbs are not the main attack methods of Mustang fighters, they are the product of a perfect balance of performance in all aspects, and there are many tactics that can be used. The main reason for not entering a low altitude is the absolute disadvantage of numbers, but after the Japanese fighters enter a low altitude, the Mustang can also continue to attack -- they are designed with the mission of ground attack in mind.

Lynch, the ace pilot of the O4 fighter, piloted his own fighter and easily locked on a Japanese Taisho three-year fighter, he was more familiar with the performance of the biplane than his opponent, and Lynch had 70 hours of biplane flight time before the Mustang entered service. In his opinion, the latest fighters of the Japanese are far worse than the biplane fighters that were once in service with the Chinese army.

For him, what was in front of him was not exciting at all, and he was looking forward to installing cannons on fighter jets, engaging Mustang fighters-like enemies, using his own aiming device to trap the opponent's planes, and then easily firing the cannon to shoot down these poor creatures who were constantly making useless struggles. Watching the slightly bulky and old gray-white plane explode into a brilliant flame in the air, Lynch felt that air combat was boring.

The Japanese were horrified to find that even at low altitudes, the beautiful fighters of the Chinese country, with their terrifying speed and dive capabilities, could still attack at will, and then easily climb and leave the engagement range before being entangled by the Japanese fighters. Low altitude is no longer a safe area, the Japanese have no choice, and sooner or later they will be wiped out!

Lynch attacked the Japanese plane so easily, he easily accelerated and dived, easily smashed the opposing Japanese fighter to pieces with a large-caliber machine gun, and then didn't even bother to pull the plane up again to regain his altitude, and got entangled with another Japanese fighter.

This reckless, unobedied ace pilot from the squadron leader proved with his genius that not everyone can disobey orders. He adjusted the direction of his flight with a beautiful turn, and in the process of turning his nose aimed at a Japanese fighter, and then he used his experience to suddenly fire at a strange angle, because the maneuver was too violent, the tracer bullets mixed with the machine gun bullets flew out of the barrel and showed a rather arcing flight angle, but after a short flight, the bullets seemed to have eyes, and hit the poor Taisho three-year fighter.

Without even glancing at the smoky Japanese fighter, Lynch drove his plane to another target, and the smoky fighter began to fall to the ground, and the smoke billowed into a dazzling fireball before it crashed. The culprit here is already firing at the second Taisho three-year fighter and achieving another record.

If we insist on saying that there is any difference between today and the past, it is that at any ordinary moment, it is impossible for the Japanese Air Force to gather so many planes to send warmth to the Chinese pilots. But today it's happening, and it's happening on such a large scale.

It wasn't just Lynch who was slaughtering his opponents, other Chinese fighters were also continuing their attacks and killings, they didn't have Lynch's genius skills, driving the fighter jets back and forth over the Japanese fighters, and shooting down the Japanese biplane fighters one after another. Whether it is the Taisho three-year model or the P01, it is not bad in terms of performance, but compared with the Mustang fighter, it is obviously a few grades worse, just like the backward earthlings resisting the advanced civilization of outer space, and the Japanese before the war exhausted their brains and could not imagine the appearance of the Chinese military fighters.

Lynch finally reluctantly piloted his plane back into the air, looking down at the messy and smoke-filled aerial battlefield, and reluctantly joined the returning army, he used up the few remaining rounds of ammunition on his plane during the last dive attack, shot down a heavy and slow P01 fighter, and completed all his battle today.

The second group of Mustang fighter squadrons finally arrived, replacing the 15th squadron with 25 fighters, leaving 31 Japanese fighters for their comrades who had come to support. (To be continued.) )
