Chapter 209: A Great Victory in Air Combat!
The scene of hundreds of flying planes fighting each other in the air is naturally a scene that many Chinese people have never seen before. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Even many Japanese soldiers felt that this was the first time they had seen such a war situation in China.
Looking at every fallen fighter, many little devils will feel frustrated and disappointed. You can see the fighter plane of the Eighth Route Army falling, and the little devils will cheer. It's just that this situation is rare in comparison.
On the other hand, the troops of the Eighth Route Army on the ground could not help but cheer when they saw the enemy planes falling from the sky with smoke coming down one after another. Looking at the fallen fighter plane, someone soon risked their lives to prepare to go to the rescue.
The Japanese commander, who was in charge of piloting and commanding at the same time, watched as the number of fighters on his side continued to decrease. On the other hand, the fighters of the Eighth Route Army who fought with them, even if some fighters were hit by dozens of bullets, they were still able to continue fighting.
This situation made the Japanese commander quickly realize that the performance of this fighter of the Eighth Route Army was indeed much better than theirs. Even if he didn't want to admit this result, reality told him that it was all true.
What was most difficult for this commander to believe was that the Eighth Route Army seemed to be able to cover each other and attack each other in the course of the battle. Such a tacit understanding on the battlefield, in the eyes of this Japanese commander, was completely at the level of elite pilots.
With such a flying unit that came out of nowhere, he really couldn't accept it. It wasn't until he suddenly discovered that the pilots of the Eighth Route Army seemed to have equipment capable of communication, and this puzzle immediately dawned on him.
'How is this possible?' The fighter of the Eighth Road can actually do air talk! ’
Thinking of the new fighter being developed in China, it also has the ability to communicate in the air. But the problem is, this is the Eighth Route Army, an Eighth Route Army that was once completely ignored by them and famous for being poor and white!
Whether he is willing to accept this cruel reality or not, seeing that many fighters of the Eighth Route Army are scarred, they still do not fall. On the other hand, their fighters crashed one after another.
In particular, the cannon strikes of the fighters of the Eighth Route Army were even more fatal blows to their Type 97 carrier-based aircraft. Basically, as long as they were hit by two shells fired by the Eighth Route Army's cannons, their planes would be completely destroyed.
This kind of strike firepower, as well as the Eighth Route Army's formation and combat technology in the air, dealt a deep blow to these naval aviation units, which were originally full of self-confidence. They are also starting to realize that these eight roads are really different.
In the course of such an exchange of fire, two more Eagle fighters fell with bullet holes all over their bodies. Even the pilots who flew the fighters did not even have time to eject. The reason is, they were directly hit by bullets in the body.
In the face of the sacrifice of their comrades, the remaining pilots also became more and more stable. They knew that no amount of anger was useless at this time. Keep your mentality, shoot down more enemy planes to avenge the sacrifices of your comrades.
It was also at this time that a fighter pilot began to say: "Captain, I don't have much ammunition left, what should I do?" ”
'Get out of the fight first!' Cooperate with other fighters and pay attention to your own safety! ’
Fighting against hundreds of little devil fighters, the Eagle fighter has more ammunition reserves than the Type 97 carrier-based aircraft. But after some of the fighting, some pilots soon discovered that they were running out of ammunition.
It is clear that at this time, the ammunition of the little devil fighter is also running out. But no matter what, the number of fighters left by the little devil is still more than his own. In this case, it depends on who can hold out to the end.
Fortunately, not long after the captain's radio, a voice came: "Goshawk, how is it?" Okay? ”
'Captain, you've arrived! We ran out of ammunition and lost three fighters! Please punish the regimental commander! ’
'That's it! I've arrived, so you're ready to take a break and we'll take care of the rest! You guys cooperate, wait and go and destroy the little devil's bomber by the way. They're in the back, ready to pick up the bargain! ’
As pilot aircraft, they are equipped with communication stations that are at a greater distance than other ordinary Eagle fighters. Now that the two fighters can get in touch, they also realize that the distance between the two flying units is not far away.
Sure enough, just as four Japanese fighters were chasing an Eagle fighter. These four little devil pilots soon saw a large number of fighters appearing in the sky in front of them. The sign on it made them tremble.
'How is that possible? How come there are still fighters in the Eighth Road? Oh my! We were fooled! The number of fighters in the Eighth Route is far more than we imagined! Quick, get out of the fight, get out of the fight now! ’
The battle with the Second Brigade has just made these naval aviation units realize that these Eighth Route fighters are very difficult to deal with. So far, they don't talk about one-to-one battle losses, even one-to-ten battle losses.
It's just that they lost ten, and the Eighth Route Army only lost one. The originally huge fighter formation has shrunk by half by this time. Now that the Eighth Route Army has come to so many reinforcements, they are still!
After all, they also don't have much ammunition left, and the other side is rushing to help, and the ammunition must be sufficient. In this case, if they don't withdraw, they may be surrounded and annihilated by the Eighth Route fighters!
On the other hand, the pilots of the Eighth Route who were pursued before saw their own large troops coming to help, and immediately said excitedly: "Brothers, the regiment commander is here!" Hold on, it's our turn to fight back! ”
The pilots who shouted these words on the communication radio station lamented that they were lucky to escape, and they also promptly reported the news to the pilots of the headquarters who were struggling to persevere. He knew that this news was undoubtedly timely rain!
With Zheng Shaoyu leading the fighters of the headquarters and the Blue Eagle squadron, they rushed to the combat airspace. Nearly a hundred Eagle fighters successfully converged and immediately formed a numerical advantage.
Faced with such a turnaround, the Japanese commander immediately said: "Retreat!" Get out of the fight now! ”
After waving to the wingman next to him, the commander first piloted his fighter plane and began to lower the altitude in preparation for a breakthrough. In this process, the fighters of the Eighth Route Army, which had formed an encirclement, also began to encircle and annihilate the remaining Japanese fighters.
The officers and men of the Eighth Route who were following the results of the air battle on the ground naturally looked very happy when they saw the fighters of the headquarters that suddenly appeared. They know that in this large-scale air battle, the side that wins in the end still belongs to them.
On the other hand, looking at the elated Japanese army before, looking at the results of the air battle that is now completely one-sided, many people think of the skirmish air battle earlier. And today, this nightmare belonging to naval aviation seems to be going on again.
Commander Lin, who was hiding in an underground bunker with a telescope, looked at the situation in the sky and couldn't help but wave: "Beautiful! This time, I'm afraid that the little devil is really going to break his bones. I can't think of it, I can't think of it! ”
'Commander, you can't think of anything? ’
'I can't imagine that our Air Force, in just a few years, has grown to its current size. I'm convinced! It is indeed a wise decision to hand over the arsenal to Commander He! ’
As a general of the young Zhuang faction in the Eighth Route Army, Commander Lin was still somewhat unconvinced by He Zhengdao, a younger senior general. After all, the other party was just an ordinary guard company commander earlier!
But at this moment, looking at He Zhengdao's exploits, as well as his exploits. Commander Lin also knew that all this He Zhengdao had done for the entire Eighth Route Army and even the entire China, which could be described as outstanding meritorious service!
As expected by the righteous path, because the number of air forces of the Eighth Route Army is not known. The Japanese army, which had originally prepared hundreds of sorties, did not expect that the Eighth Route Army would have built so many new fighters.
In the face of not having much advantage in numbers, and tactically failing to get the desired result. The naval aviation that rushed from China to support them also did not expect that they would flee in disarray one day.
Most importantly, in the face of the fighters of the Eighth Route Army chasing after them, many Japanese pilots found that the flight speed of their fighters was also inferior to that of the fighters of the Eighth Route Army. It didn't take long to run, and they were all knocked into the sky by the pursuing Eighth Route Army.
The embarrassment of the Japanese fighters undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the hearts of the Japanese ground troops who thought they were looking forward to hope. Many Japanese soldiers looked at the fallen fighter planes and had the illusion that the sky had fallen.
'This is not true, how could our fighters be defeated!' ’
The bomber troops, who were originally following behind the fighter formation, also did not expect that they did not wait for the news of the victory of the fighters in front. Instead, let them get the deadly killing machine, a group of menacing eight-way fighters.
'Outflank the past and shoot down all these bombers!' ’
Without giving these Japanese bombers much time to react, Zheng Shaoyu gave the order to outflank them at the right time. Soon the Japanese troops on the ground found that their fighters were falling from the sky like paper airplanes.
Under the encirclement and interception of the fighters of the Eighth Route Army, one fighter after another did not have much power to fight back. In particular, in the process of chasing and fleeing, many Japanese fighters also consumed their ammunition and were completely in a state of passive beating.
In response to such a result, the Japanese commander on the ground immediately instructed the telegraph liaison officers around him to transmit the news back to the rear headquarters as soon as possible. They know that this news will be another shocking news for many people.
The number of fighters possessed by the Eighth Route Army far exceeded their expectations. In a sense, the Eighth Route Army once again won by surprise. In the face of this Eighth Route Army, which has repeatedly made surprise troops, what the North China Front Army has done is more in vain!
On the other hand, the scouts of the Eighth Route Army, who were responsible for conducting air defense observation in various places, also looked very excited when they looked at the downed little devil fighters. They all know that this time the Air Force can also be described as a great victory!
Not long after, Mr. Zhu, who was following the results of the air battle in Xibaipo, received a telegram from the front. There were only four words on it: 'Great victory in air combat', and when I saw this telegram, the entire command room resounded with cheers.
Everyone knows that with this great victory, I believe that for many people, they know that the rise of the Eighth Route Army is only unstoppable. This also means that they will win the next North China campaign!
