Goto didn't expect that an enemy plane would target him when he wanted to take off, and he didn't expect that the other party would be able to hit his small-looking plane so easily. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info waited until the 20 mm caliber cannon shell hit the tail of his plane, and he felt a strong shock and an inexplicable panic.

Before the poor man could look back to see what had happened to the tail of his plane, another shell hit him in the shoulder. The tremendous force made him lie on the dashboard, and then he was no longer conscious.

Obviously, that's a good thing, because he doesn't have to watch his head get shattered, he doesn't have to watch his wings be torn in half, he doesn't have to watch his engine and propeller fly far away and then fall into the crater by the runway and smoke, and certainly he doesn't have to watch his body roll out and scatter like airplane parts.

During this hour, as happened at this airfield, many important Japanese facilities were played out, and countless targets were destroyed by the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber, including railway stations and airfields, including barracks and important bridges. The Ming Empire did not waste their time on the first day, they sent high-altitude reconnaissance planes to conduct detailed reconnaissance and mapping of the depth of the entire Japanese army.

It turned out that because of the load problem of the aircraft and the range problem, the aerial reconnaissance could not exert its own power at all. Because of the limitation of radio communication distance and the weight of equipment, the timeliness of reconnaissance is very low; Similarly, because they could not carry mapping equipment and large cameras, they were not able to carry out strategic reconnaissance.

However, when the Anyun 2 transport aircraft entered service, a good military reconnaissance aircraft was born with a slight modification: a wider cabin can accommodate more complex photographic equipment, and the enclosed cockpit and high-horsepower engines also allow this aircraft to fly higher and farther.

When these planes took off at dawn and entered the skies over Japanese-controlled Korea, the Japanese planes that could not take off and intercept had to wait for dawn because of the low visibility at night. But after dawn came, the Ming army's planes detected what they wanted and returned. It was an aircraft with a speed of more than 400 kilometers, and the Japanese army found that if they caught these planes, they almost entered the airspace of the Ming Empire......

Before the Japanese side could think of a way to deal with this kind of reconnaissance aircraft, the next day the Lei Gong 1 dive bomber of the Ming Empire appeared, and it appeared in front of the Japanese defenders with a devastating momentum! For a time, almost all the important defense areas of the Japanese front line were asking for support, which made General Miyamoto Arihito very angry.

"What are army aviation all doing? And what about their Shenlong Air Force? Let them expel the planes of the Ming Empire! Be quick! Be quick! Miyamoto yelled at his men as he hammered the table. And he could not help but be angry, because just now he lost two locomotives and 4 front-line supply stations, destroyed 9 field airfields, and lost more than 400 aircraft.

These things that were killed by the Ming army were the last things that Japan wanted to lose. If it weren't for the fact that the Ming Empire was attacking the Japanese position, just losing these materials and facilities would be enough to justify the War Department of the base camp to remove him, the commander-in-chief of the front.

"Yaga!" In a hurry, Miyamoto Yuren even remembered a national scold that had not been mentioned in the Japanese archipelago for a long time, which shows how bad his mood is now. About 200 years ago, this was a classic curse in Japanese, but unfortunately not many Japanese people use it today.

"Your Excellency, General, our Divine Dragon Flying Team has been dispatched! If the planes of the Ming Empire break into our territory, they will inevitably pay their own price! A commander of the Army Aviation Corps, holding the command knife at his waist, promised General Yuhito Miyamoto: "The air force of the Empire of Japan is the best in the world!" ”

……

Just when the Lei Gong 1 dive bombers of the Ming Empire were wreaking havoc over the heads of the Japanese and Korean garrisons, the main force of the Japanese Army Air Force, the Shenlong 1 fighters that had just been deployed to the front line, also took off and took off as soon as possible, preparing to intercept the air force of the Ming Empire.

These Shenlong 1 fighters used imitation British engines, although produced in Japan and made corresponding improvements, but the power was only more than 860 horsepower. In order to achieve higher performance of their new aircraft, the Japanese reduced the weight of their aircraft on a large scale, and finally had a fighter with good performance before the outbreak of war.

His Majesty Emperor Tammu personally cut the ribbon for the production line of this fighter and named it the Shenryu 1! The Japanese Air Force regarded this fighter as a treasure and went to great lengths to produce it in order to dominate the skies of Asia in the future.

What is even more surprising is that the Japanese have adopted a closed cockpit in this kind of aircraft in a very forward-looking manner, and have also designed a good retractable landing gear, which has improved the combat capability of the fighter in the high-altitude field, and also improved the aerodynamic shape of this Shenlong 1 fighter, and obtained better combat performance.

It has to be said that the Japanese designers, having learned the skills of the English teachers, also incorporated their own innovations, creating a fairly good fighter in 1832. It also gave the Japanese army and navy considerable confidence that their aircraft were advanced in the world, or far ahead.

Unfortunately, Japan's domestic production capacity was already small, and even if all production capacity was concentrated for production, in the end, in December 1832, the total production of Japan's Shenryu 1 fighter was only more than 390 units, which could not meet the requirements of the navy and army. At this time, the Japanese Navy was equipped with only 51 such aircraft, while the Army had only 342 aircraft on the mainland.

As for the Shenlong-1 fighters deployed on the Korean front, the total number is only 193, including 21 for the Navy and 172 for the Army. For aircraft that cannot take off for troubleshooting, maintenance or other reasons, the total number of aircraft that can be dispatched to participate in the war at this time is 135.

Of course, a large part of these aircraft were to be deployed on the western coastline of Korea to reconnoiter and defend against the Ming Imperial Navy, so only 42 Shenlong 1 planes were deployed on the defense line facing the Yalu River. However, if we count the more than 900 old aircraft deployed by the Japanese Army Air Force in Korea, the Japanese army believes that the aviation forces it has invested in Korea are very sufficient, and it can even be said that they have a slight surplus.

But who would have thought that within just two hours of the Ming Empire's air force dispatch, about half of the planes on the Japanese front line were destroyed on the ground? This is also one of the main reasons why the Japanese commander Miyamoto Yuhito was unbearable, and the counterattack strategy of the second-line troops he deployed required air power to provide an accurate offensive direction for the ground forces of the Ming Empire.

Now these reconnaissances still have the power of interference, and they have all been lost before they have played their role, so how can his strategy be carried out in the future? What's even worse is that the Ming army is still mainly destroying airports, stations, roads, and other facilities, and once the Ming planes begin to attack the defense line of the Yalu River, how much loss will their ground troops suffer?

In fact, the battle that broke out in the sky was not delayed because of Miyamoto Youren's worries, and the main force of the Japanese army aviation, 20 Japanese pilots piloting Shenlong 1 fighters, saw their prey today, some Ming Empire Lei Gong 1 dive bombers circling over the Japanese army, in the vast sky.

These dive bombers did not seem to have noticed the arrival of the Japanese fighters, and they were still circling and diving, raining bombs and artillery shells on the heads of the hapless Japanese ground troops.

"10 aircraft formation, triangular attack formation! Get ready for a dive attack! Disperse the planes that shot down these Ming! "For the first time, Japanese aircraft were equipped with a new type of radio imported from the United States, which realized the short-distance communication function on the aircraft, but this function was not reliable and not as stable as the related equipment produced by the Nanjing Radio Equipment Factory of the Ming Empire.

Sure enough, soon there was a sizzling sound in the headphones, and it was obvious that the Japanese pilot couldn't hear what the other party said. In desperation, he pulled out a piece of cardboard in his lap pocket, on which was printed a huge Chinese character "ten".

Then he gestured ahead, then clenched his fists, which was a gesture of attack, and the pilots on either side of him understood what he meant. So the signals began to be transmitted to the planes farther away, one after the other...... In situations where radio doesn't work well, this is the traditional way for them to communicate.

Then the Japanese planes began to enter the dive attack mode, and began to accelerate downward, approaching those dive bombers of the Ming Empire. That was their prey, and they wanted to make the Ming army realize that it was extremely unwise to enter the airspace of the Japanese air force in this way.

"Japanese planes! Discover Japanese planes! In the unit of the Ming Empire's Lei Gong 1 dive bomber attacking the ground, the navigator in charge of vigilance easily spotted the Japanese plane trying to get close to them, he quickly issued a warning signal, and pushed away the safety on the machine gun in front of him.

"Click!" After the slight sound of pulling the bolt, the dive bomber units of the Ming Empire gave up the destruction of the Japanese ground forces, and they began to raise their altitude, and the navigators behind began to use the Weiyuan 2 machine gun to disperse the Japanese fighters who tried to bite their tails. The air battle between metal planes, on the first day of the outbreak of this world war, broke out fiercely over North Korea. (To be continued.) )
