285 air battles

"Suddenly! Dodo! Behind the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber piloted by Li Haoran, the navigator was using the Weiyuan 2 machine gun in his hand to violently fire at the Japanese plane that was rushing over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 It was the first time he had faced such a swift enemy, and it was faster than the Ming Empire's Sky Breaking Type 1 battles that he had encountered during many exercises.

Compared to older aircraft such as the Sky 1, or rather, the Japanese Shenryu 1 fighter had faster speed and a more agile flight attitude, and it was not easy to lock on with an 8mm machine gun that drifted through the sky.

Therefore, with the shaking of its own plane and the influence of the air flow in the sky, the tracer bullet of the Weiyuan 2 machine gun swung back and forth in the sky, forming a very beautiful wave, and the plane chasing the opponent obviously did not hit the opponent. Of course, from another point of view, the second pilot behind the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber is the navigator and the radio mechanic, and at the same time it seems a little too reluctant to be a machine gunner.

Compared to a fighter pilot with only one person, they don't know what the pilot sitting in front of them who is actually controlling the plane will do next, so they can't accurately judge the amount of advance and aim in advance, and the accuracy is even more anxious.

At the beginning, the Japanese pilots obviously did not expect that the planes coming to attack the Ming Empire could fly so fast, and when they formed an attack formation and rushed towards the Ming planes, they found that the other party could fly so fast if they were bent on escaping.

You must know that Japan's fighter planes are specialized "fighters," but the planes of the Ming Empire are obviously "bombers" that carry out ground bombing missions, and the difference in speed is very small. A few minutes ago, they claimed to be the most powerful air force in the world, but now they found that it wasn't what they thought it was.

"Hell...... Their planes are not much slower than ours! The Japanese pilots immediately saw the problem, these less agile dive bombers were not only able to dive at incredible angles, but also had enough speed to be called more powerful than previous aircraft!

When the Japanese pilots were shocked by the speed of the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber, Li Haoran was also taken aback by the new Japanese plane on the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber of the Ming Empire.

He thought that he could get rid of the Japanese fighter at a speed, but it turned out that his flight speed was about the same as that of this new Japanese fighter that he had seen for the first time! So in the swing of the left and right, he found that the distance between the Japanese fighter and his plane was getting closer and closer, which made him feel the danger, the danger that made people desperate!

If you don't have the speed of your opponent, you have more opportunities to attack! If you can't do it once, there will be a second time, and if you are not careful on your side, you may be shot down by these enemies! You must know that the soles of your feet are still occupied by Japan, and even if you parachute, you will only be captured.

Li Haoran nervously shook his plane control stick, trying his best to let his plane fly out of a rocking back and forth course, so that he could avoid the ammunition that might suddenly be poured by enemy planes from the rear. However, his swing made it more difficult for the navigator behind him to aim, wasting more ammo.

The two sides flew forward in this way and chased each other desperately, and soon the pilots on the Japanese planes were slightly pleased to find that the distance between the two planes seemed to have been narrowed by them. This is a very good sign, at least that their aircraft are faster than their opponents in terms of speed!

"They can't escape! Ha ha! The Japanese pilot laughed and controlled his plane, deftly dodging the bullets fired from the rear of the Ming plane, and then began to choose a suitable flight angle for his attack. He was armed with two 8 mm machine guns on the front, but he was not equipped with such powerful ammunition as a machine gun because of his reduced weight. According to experiments, small-caliber machine guns can carry more ammunition in the sky, and the destruction effectiveness is already "enough", so for the time being there is no need to equip weapons with a larger caliber.

The Japanese aircraft designers were not short-sighted, they thought that it would be more appropriate to use a 13mm machine gun in the sky, but in the process of development, the 13mm machine gun was too large to fit into the new Shenryu 1 fighter jet, and finally had to be abandoned.

And the practice of excessive weight reduction in pursuit of speed also made the 8mm caliber machine gun the first choice. After all, on such a lightweight aircraft, the weight of the machine gun is really quite appropriate...... Damage tests on older aircraft also showed that the 8mm machine gun was more than enough to attack biplanes or more robust aircraft!

Therefore, the Japanese aircraft were equipped with 2 heavy machine guns of 8 mm caliber, which were not much more powerful than the Ming Empire Lei Gong 1 dive bomber, which had only one machine gun in the rear.

The Japanese pilot pulled the handle of his weapon on his plane and let the machine gun open fire. For a while, the nose erupted a dazzling tongue of fire, and two rows of dense tracer bombs swept towards the dive bombers of the Ming Empire. Seeing that the bullet hit the wing of the enemy plane, it only left a row of bullet holes on it.

Li Haoran was frightened by a shock from the wings of his plane, he didn't want to be shot down in his first combat mission, he looked at his wings while dodging the bullets flying behind him. There were more than a dozen small holes left in it, and it was clear that the other party had indeed hit his plane just now.

Happily, he found that the flaps on the wings of his plane were still usable, and it seemed that the attack just now did not cause any damage to the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber except for piercing the skin of the wings.

After all, the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber is a large man weighing almost 4 tons, and the actual degree of sturdiness is much higher than it seems. In contrast, in order to pursue speed and flexibility, Japanese aircraft only weigh about one ton, and the two sides are not at the same level in terms of damage resistance.

The Japanese pilot also saw the problem he encountered: he did fire and hit the plane of the Ming Empire in the first place, but the other party did not seem to suffer any damage, and he could still escape quickly, and there was not even smoke coming out! He gritted his teeth and continued to fly his plane in pursuit of the Ming army's plane, which had already been injured.

Unfortunately, before he could find another chance to fire, he saw several black dots in the middle of the white clouds above his head rapidly magnifying. It only took a few seconds for him to see the black dots showing the outlines of the planes, which were diving towards their location at an altitude of more than 8,000 meters!

Just by looking at the appearance of these aircraft, it is easy to tell that this is by no means an Imperial Japanese fighter, because the wings of the opposing aircraft are thicker and shorter, and they look smaller than the Shenryu 1 fighters. Yes, the plane they saw for the first time was not large, but it was faster than the Shenlong 1 fighter!

In the blink of an eye, an unidentified fighter plane rushed to the front in the distance and approached the Japanese plane. The planes were painted in all black colors, shining oppressively in the sunlight, and to the devastation of the Japanese pilots, the wings of these planes were sprayed with golden dragon heads representing the Ming Empire, which clearly belonged to Japan's opponents.

The latest equipment of the Ming Empire, the Breaking Air 2 fighter, in order to pursue more powerful air performance, the wingspan of the aircraft is only more than 11 meters, driven by the powerful TY-3 aero engine, it can fly at an altitude of 8,000 meters at an astonishing speed of 590 kilometers per hour. This speed was beyond everyone's imagination, and even when the plane made its first flight, even the test pilot reported that there was a problem with the speed meter.

This frighteningly fast advanced monoplane all-metal fuselage, the latest fighter with a closed cockpit also has good flexibility, although it is not as agile as the old aircraft, but the overall performance has been completely overwhelming, and it has immediately become the standard fighter equipment of the Ming Empire Air Force.

What's even more terrifying is that the Ming Empire is not as weak as Japan in weapons research and development, and has a strong foundation in light weapons, and because of the different design concepts of aircraft, there is no weight constraint. Therefore, the Ming Empire's Broken Sky 2 fighter is equipped with 4 13 mm caliber machine guns, and its firepower is more powerful than Japan's Xiaodouding I don't know how many times.

The fighter, which was painted black all over and had only gray and white camouflage under its belly, had reached a speed of nearly 650 km/h when it dived. The roaring and powerful engines pressed against the already slightly chaotic formation of Japanese planes, and before the Japanese pilots could make any evasive moves, or before they could figure out how to dodge, they were close to a fairly close distance.

Then 4 13-mm aviation machine guns opened fire, spraying long tongues of fire at the ends of the wings. Dense tracer bullets pierced the wing of the Japanese plane directly from the nose of the Black Piercing 2 fighter from diagonally above, and then left two rows of holes in the opponent's fuselage.

Like a black lightning bolt, the engine of the black Piercing Type 2 fighter TY-3 let out a pleasant roar, and suddenly rushed past the tail of the Japanese fighter that had been shot, as if an eagle had swept over its prey. Immediately after that, the second Piercing 2 fighter also rushed through the formation of Japanese fighters, leaving a dense bullet hole in the other Japanese plane that he was targeting.
