"The turning radius is really small! It's no accident that their aircraft design has an advantage in this regard. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" In the cockpit of the small plane, the Ming Empire fighter pilot, who was watching the Japanese Shenlong fighter that caught fire and fell, said to his companion by radio.

"I know. If it was a problem with flying skills, I don't think he would have gotten away from my chase so many times in a row. In the cockpit of the black fighter, the pilot said as he controlled his plane and began to regain altitude: "Taking advantage of speed and dive climb, it is more appropriate to disengage with one blow." ”

"How does it feel to shoot down two fighters? Isn't it enjoyable? The pilot in the plane following the black fighter smiled and asked, "This is much more interesting than playing a biplane, it seems that the new Japanese aircraft is doing well." ”

"It's a lot of fun, but I still prefer to fly the plane. The Japanese planes, although they were very nimble, could only passively parry my attacks, and I didn't like that feeling. The pilot of the black plane looked at the Japanese fighters that were falling in the sky and replied.

Then he paused and continued: "And the size of our formation, which is still a little too large and not flexible at all. Next time, don't use a formation of 5 fighters, use 4 fighters to try the effect. ”

"No problem, listen to you." In the Ming army plane that followed behind the black fighter, the pilot nodded in agreement with his teammates.

Since the Japanese were able to mass-produce the Shenlong-1 fighter in the past year, there was no reason why the Ming Empire could not mass-produce the latest Piercing 2 fighter. Although in terms of maximum range and minimum turning radius, the Ming Empire's Sky Breaker 2 fighter is not comparable to Japan's new aircraft, but in terms of firepower, speed and climb, the Sky Breaker 2 has a leading advantage.

However, it is a pity that these things about the performance parameters of fighters are strictly kept secret during the war, so the pilots of the Ming Empire do not know how advanced their fighters are compared to their opponents, and they cannot conduct intensive training on the performance of the opponent's aircraft.

Therefore, when the clever Ming Empire pilots took a look at the face for the first time, they adopted a steady high-altitude dive sneak attack tactic, first beating the opponent dizzy, and then looking for an opportunity to test the specific performance of the Japanese aircraft. This is something that was said at the time of takeoff, and it was well executed by the fighter pilots.

The pilot piloting the Black Sky Piercing 2 fighter cracked his mouth and laughed, and then gently pressed his feet in the opposite direction, and the plane he controlled drew a graceful arc in the sky, returning to the Ming Empire's fighter unit, which was already regrouping.

His name is Zhou Yuxin, and he is an elite pilot of the Ming Empire. More than a year ago, he was one of the few Ming pilots who had achieved a record on the battlefield in Liaodong. He shot down a Japanese reconnaissance plane and also shot down four Jinguo fighters, but these five planes were all completed by him with the old biplane Piercing 1 fighter, and because of this, he was transferred to the main air force and replaced with a new type of Piercing 2 fighter.

If you count the two Shenlong 1 fighters shot down today, he can already be regarded as an old pilot with an amazing record. It is a pity that the Ming Empire stipulates that only pilots who shoot down 10 enemy planes can obtain the title of ace pilot, and Zhou Yuxin is still 3 enemy planes away from this record.

Zhou Yuxin is very confident that he can meet the standards of ace pilots, because on the one hand, he is confident in his flying skills, and on the other hand, he is also very confident in the Piercing 2 fighter he flies.

The new TY-3 water-cooled aircraft engine with a maximum output of 1,100 horsepower gives the Ming Empire Sky Breaker 2 fighter exaggerated power, and also gives this aircraft extremely high flight speed. In actual combat, the aircraft can easily reach an astonishing speed of 650 kilometers per hour in a dive state, which also allows the aircraft to carry more ferocious firepower.

Japan's Shenryu 1 fighter jets are strictly forbidden to dive at their limits due to weight reduction, as doing so may cause the aircraft to disintegrate in the air. Although under the extreme weight limit, the Shenlong 1 fighter has achieved good performance indicators, but compared with the Ming Empire's Sky Breaking 2 fighter, it is still a step behind.

Li Haoran didn't see how the fighter unit of the Ming Empire behind him made a stunning appearance, nor did he see how his fighter team played an amazing 20-0 record, because his plane was hit by the enemy, so he could only use the fastest speed to leave the battlefield and return to his base for maintenance.

At the same time, more than 110 other Lei Gong 1 dive bombers and 50 Piercing 2 fighters were deployed for escort missions. On their way back, they saw their friendly forces, taking off 70 bomb-laden Lei Gong 1 dive bombers to bomb the Yalu River defense line.

These planes were on front-line bombing missions, so they carried more bombs, directly carrying six 300-kilogram aerial bombs. The Lei Gong 1 dive bomber cannot fill its own fuel tank when carrying the extreme load, so the combat radius will be affected.

Thankfully, the Chinese Air Force's dive bombers, which were attacking the Yalu River defense line, only needed to fly about 100 kilometers to reach the target, so there was no need to consider the combat radius. Therefore, although only 70 Lei Gong 1 dive bombers carried out attack missions, they carried a full 420 aerial bombs.

So in terms of bomb weight, this attack was a little more than the previous 100 Lei Gong 1 dive bombers that carried out long-range bombing. In order to ensure the safety of bomb dropping and avoid the anti-aircraft artillery that might be deployed on the front-line defensive positions, these Lei Gong 1 dive bombers were not too presumptuous, and after destroying some targets as much as possible, they flew away.

But even so, the fact that hundreds of planes were overwhelmingly flying back and forth over their heads and dropping huge bombs still caused panic among the Japanese ground troops. In the past, it was very difficult for infantry to see such a dense number of aircraft appear above their heads, and even if there was a fighter battle, it would only be a simple air force engagement, and there would be no large-scale ground attack.

But now it is different, the air force of the Ming Empire will obviously launch an attack on the ground, and in the current state, they are very professional in ground attack......

20 Japanese fighters were completely annihilated by the sudden arrival of 10 new fighters of the Ming Empire, which may not be acceptable to Japan at all. They tried their best to surpass the Ming in the aviation industry, but the facts proved that it was not easy to surpass the Ming Empire.

Although the Shenlong fighter is better in low-altitude performance, it is almost completely suppressed by the Ming Empire's Air-Breaking 2 fighter in the medium and high altitude field. At the same time, this also deprived more Japanese old biplane aircraft of the opportunity to exert their residual heat, so that the Ming Empire's air attack force could make better use of the sky.

The two-hour air raid inflicted incalculable losses on Japan, destroying many important supply bases, including two locomotives and four front-line supply depots, while the Japanese lost nine field airfields and more than 400 aircraft - a loss that grew further because there were still many that had not been counted.

It was precisely because of such huge losses, coupled with the fact that more than 50 fighters and reconnaissance planes of various types were shot down in the sky, that the Japanese army aviation lost air supremacy within an hour of the start of the war, and even lost the courage to take off to meet the Ming Imperial Air Force.

"What? What did you say? Say it again? Say it again to me! General Miyamoto grabbed the collar of the commander of the Army Aviation Corps in front of him, and asked the question repeatedly with a shocked look that made him think he had a serious hearing impairment.

In fact, he did suspect that he had a serious hearing problem, as he heard the news that his aircraft unit had been badly damaged. 20 Shenlong 1 fighters, which were considered invincible by most people in Japan before the start of the war, were lost in just one hour!

What made him even more devastating was that these 20 planes were still shot down in air battles, not destroyed on the ground -- this is equivalent to saying that the myth of the invincibility of the aircraft of the Great Japanese Empire was shattered before it began, and his elaborate counterattack strategy was declared bankrupt before it had even begun.

What made him collapse the most was another thing, several important roads and railways that he relied on to carry out counter-assaults on the Ming army were all damaged under the blows of Ming aircraft, and now his troops could only reluctantly repair these roads, so that the Japanese Type 91 tanks behind him could pass through these originally small passages.

As we all know, the northern part of the Korean Peninsula is a mountainous terrain, and there is not much area that could have been used. Now the only few roads were destroyed by the planes of the Ming Empire, and the second-line troops of the Japanese army immediately lost the opportunity to counterattack in the first place. Miyamoto Yuhito now wants to cry without tears, because the Japanese army's originally small number of Type 91 tanks is simply unable to support the front line of the Yalu River defense line due to the fact that they are deployed behind.

Speaking of which, we have to applaud the stubbornness of the Japanese who insisted on themselves: they became independent after being occupied by the Ming Empire for many years, and then at the time of independence, they even remembered the original Shenmu chronology, and finally legalized this kind of chronology, which is not common to the West and the East, as a state system - just by virtue of the end of this maverick, it should definitely be given a killing Matt evaluation!
