Chapter 398: Kyushu Air Battle (II)

The next day, the bomber group of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, escorted by aircraft carriers, carried out the most intense bombing of the major cities of Kyushu.

In just one day, the entire island of Kyushu was bombed, and the cities and military points that the army had focused on deploying and defending, as well as cities with large populations, were all bombed, and heavy losses were caused to people and property.

The Ministry of Defense was very dissatisfied with the Air Force, and demanded that the Air Force take the initiative to fight a decisive battle against the Imperial Air Force of China even if it fought to the last soldier.

Under tremendous pressure, the Air Force Command had no choice but to order the fighters of the Japanese army to take off and intercept them.

On 3 December, the Chinese Imperial bomber group and fighter group flew over Fukuoka, and the Chinese army allocated 10 squadrons and 100 fighters to intercept the Chinese Imperial bomber group.

However, in the face of the overwhelming array of fighter planes of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, which had just been established, the pilots of the Air Force, who had not been trained enough, immediately panicked and hurriedly met the Imperial Chinese Fighter Group, which was ten times their size.

"Da Da Da!"

As the fighters of the two sides approached, the noses of each side spat out tongues of fire, and bullets shot at each other, shooting countless streamers in the air, and the fierce battle suddenly began.

Although fighter pilots in this era are no different from driving a car, if they do not go through a long period of systematic training, there will be a gap in real combat.

The fighter pilots of the Chinese Empire had a long time of flying experience, and they had an advantage in fighting.

In the face of the overwhelming Chinese Imperial Air Force, after fighting out six fighters of the Chinese Empire, the Air Force had already lost 82 fighters, and the remaining dozen or so fighters were unable to defeat and desperately fled.

Hundreds of fighters of the Imperial Air Force of China were in hot pursuit, taking advantage of the speed advantage to quickly catch up with the planes. After a cat-and-mouse battle, the dozen or so planes were shot down one after another.

The entire battle lasted only fifteen minutes before it ended, and the air force shot down basically the Jian-1 fighters in the early days of the Chinese Empire, while the advanced Cat Demon fighters were only slightly injured in an accident because of their fast speed, flexible maneuverability, and the experience of the pilots.

The reconnaissance planes of the Imperial Chinese Air Force kept an eye on the movements of the air force group, and soon found the air port of the Air Force in Shankou.

At this time, over the Yamaguchi Air Force, a joint attack aircraft group composed of more than 300 H1N1 bombers and 200 Cat Demon fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force had flown in. The bomber's pitch-black fuselage revealed an eerie murderous aura in the sunlight. With a huge roar, the huge figure of the bomber was projected to the city of Yamaguchi, which was 1,500 meters down. Shadows swept across the streets of the houses, and the citizens of Ben all stopped and looked up, their faces full of horror.

"The head eagle calls the nest! The third group of attack planes has already flown over the mountain pass, and the mountain pass airport has been determined to be the fighter base of the Japanese army! ”

"This is the Bird's Nest, after confirming that it is the airfield of the military air force, immediately carry out bombing and attack missions, repeat, be sure to destroy the mountain pass air port and the military fighters in the airport, over!"

"Head Eagle received! Destroy all targets at Yamaguchi Airport, and you're done! ”

After confirming the order, the leader of the third bomb attack group forwarded the radio frequency to the channels of each wing.

"Attention to the captains of all wings, enter the target airspace in two minutes and bomb key facilities such as the airport runway, apron, and warehouse in a three-plane formation! Once you receive the order, confirm it! ”

"First Air Wing confirmed!"

"The 4th Air Wing is confirmed!"

"The 6th Air Wing is confirmed!"

…… Two minutes later, the 3rd Attack Aircraft Group of the Imperial Chinese Air Force flew over the Yamaguchi Air Force, and as the battle order of the group commander was issued, every three bombers were organized into a group, a total of ten groups, and prepared to drop bombs in turn.

"Click!"

As the belly hatch of the bomber opened, bombs were loaded with time-delay fuses and pushed onto the slides.

"The bombing begins!"

The order was given, and one after another, the bombs fell into the air from the hatch of the aircraft along the slide, towards the airport tower, runway, warehouse, and ground staff quarters below.

"Babbling ......"

With a long whistling sound, one bomb after another, with the call of death, fell near various facilities at the airport and exploded with a bang.

"Boom Boom ......"

In an instant, the originally quiet airfield was filled with violent explosions, and the sound was deafening, like a thunderbolt from the sky. The explosion stirred up a cloud of sand and rubble, rushing dozens of meters high, and after each bomb fell and exploded, it was like a small earthquake, and the whole ground trembled.

"Woo~~~~"

The airport was attacked, and the siren sounded immediately.

However, he has only just embarked on the road of aviation, and he has not yet figured out the construction of airplanes, let alone airfields with anti-aircraft weapons.

Faced with the bombs falling from the sky, the only thing they can do is to run.

"Boom!"

Each long whistling was followed by an even more violent explosion that leveled the house in an instant. The airport runway is full of large holes more than ten meters wide and one or two meters deep.

Three hundred bombers came to bomb a mountain pass air port, but after the first wing finished dropping the bombs, the target could no longer be seen clearly, and everything was a sea of fire and gunsmoke.

However, they received an order to completely destroy the Yuejun Yamaguchi airport, so the other two wings of the 3rd Attack Group had to turn around and bomb again.

Five minutes later, the 3rd Attack Group turned around and dropped all the remaining bombs.

After the bomb is dropped, you can clearly see the situation on the ground from the open bomb port. The airfield buildings have been razed to the ground and engulfed in flames. Billowing smoke spiraled into the sky like a twisted flower.

The runway is no longer visible, and there are huge craters everywhere, one on top of the other, maybe this is what it looks like after digging three feet into the ground!

"Mission accomplished, all wings are ready to return!"

After receiving the order, all the pilots of the 3rd attack group turned their noses and returned to the plane, leaving only a mess on the ground.

The remaining 50 fighters of the Chinese Imperial Air Force had already taken to the air to evade before the Imperial Chinese Air Force flew to the Yamaguchi airport. After wandering around the vicinity for more than 20 minutes, the commander of the army, Yun Shangzhi, led a group of planes to wander around, and only then did he think of the most critical problem, that is, their 50 fighters did not have auxiliary fuel tanks on board and could not fly to the next airport (which was not built). So he hurriedly ordered all the fighters to return home.

However, the weight of the cloud never dreamed that the air force group he led would soon be ambushed by a large number of aircraft groups of the Chinese Imperial Air Force. Because the Chinese Imperial Air Force already knew that there were outposts on the ground of the Yue army, they deliberately let the bomber group withdraw, and the escort fighter group returned halfway, preparing to kill the Yue army.

At 12:50 p.m., the Seto Inland Sea was covered with clouds, the sky was clear, and the whole area was surprisingly calm, without a hint of wind, but it felt like it was in danger.

The great man on the cloud commanded fifty copycat F1 fighters to return as fast as possible, and the sky also resonated, humming.

The probe looked around, and the great man on the clouds always felt uneasy in his heart, and his years of military career and the intuition of a soldier told him that the front was dangerous.

However, according to reports from the ground, the attack aircraft group of the Imperial Chinese Air Force had left, and although the weight of the clouds was worried, he still had to trust them.

However, the question is that the Chinese Imperial Air Force has a very large number of fighter planes, will there be an enemy aircraft group waiting to ambush them halfway?

The great man above the clouds kept thinking in his heart, looking around at the sky around him, the sea of clouds gradually increased, and the sea and islands below were shrouded in a faint mist. Looking up, there is an endless sky, and dazzling sunlight.

"Damn the sun!" The great man on the cloud couldn't help but curse, and then suddenly narrowed his eyes, and the dangerous intuition in his heart became stronger and stronger.

For some reason, the weight of the clouds suddenly looked at a large cloud in front of him. The fighters of the Imperial Air Force can climb above the clouds and enter the clouds in a few minutes according to the current direction.

"Can we fly above the clouds?" The big man on the cloud asked the wingman pilot next to him.

"I'm sorry sir, we've reached the maximum altitude now, and if we get any higher, the plane will disintegrate because we can't stand the impact of the air current!"

The weight of the clouds only stared at the large cloud area in front of him, and then he thought that since the altitude limit of the Chinese plane was high, it was entirely possible to cruise somewhere above the clouds, and if he came prepared, it would be the best ambush position.

However, even if he knew that the fighter group of the Imperial Chinese Air Force was flying on it, there was no other way to go at the moment of the weight of the clouds, and he had to go back to the airport, which was his only choice. (The runway was bombed, but there was still a large green plain to land) At this point, the sea of clouds blocked the sun, and the great leader of the clouds and his fighter group went under the clouds. The weight of the clouds looked at the clouds above, and although the clouds were not very thick, they could not be seen through. At this time, his heart was already beating at high speed, and the thumping sound in his ears had already drowned out the roar of fighter jets.

If the weight of the clouds had a pair of see-through eyes, he would definitely be able to find that five hundred meters above the clouds above his head, a large group of Cat Demon fighters of the Imperial Air Force of China were adjusting their direction and formation at this moment.

This is a group of 200 fighters of the Yanjing Air Wing of the First Air Wing of the Air Force, all of which are Cat Demon fighters with auxiliary fuel tanks attached. The lead plane is a shark head spray paint fighter with a big mouth open and sharp teeth, this is the landline of Colonel Zhang Ao, the captain of the Yanjing Air Wing, at this moment he is methodically arranging the tactical formation of the next major teams, in order to hit the hit, that is, to destroy these fifty planes, and to reduce their own casualties and losses as much as possible.

"Report to the Wing Commander, the 1st Group has maneuvered to a predetermined distance over the right flank of the enemy aircraft group!"

"Report to the Wing Commander, the second group has maneuvered to a predetermined distance over the left flank of the enemy group!"

"Report to the Wing Commander, the 3rd and 4th Groups have been formed, are located directly above the enemy aircraft group, and are ready to dive and attack!"

Senior Colonel Zhang Ao picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "Attention of the 3rd and 4th Brigades, in two minutes, all the fighters will dive in unison to attack the enemy group. The 1st and 2nd Brigades waited for an opportunity to attack, and when the enemy group was dispersed, they moved towards both flanks before making a dive to intercept it. In this battle, we must completely annihilate the enemy, avenge the comrades who died in the 1131 air battle, and restore the honor of the Imperial Air Force! ”

Then Zhang Ao shouted loudly: "I hope you will live up to the high expectations of His Majesty the Emperor, raise the national prestige of our Chinese Empire, and create the glory of our Royal Air Force!" ”

Then there was a series of pre-war mobilizations, and when everything was ready, Senior Colonel Zhang Ao glanced at the time, which was exactly two minutes.

"Start attacking!"

The order was issued, and the 100 fighters of the 3rd and 4th Brigades, which were the town's leading planes, formed two huge attack arrows and quickly dived down towards the group of planes below the clouds, while the other two groups continued to maintain their speed and course unchanged, waiting for the opportunity to move.

The 100 Cat Demon fighters of the third and fourth brigades were divided into two large attack echelons, divided into two waves, each with 25 fighters lined up in a row, and the front and rear four rows were 500 meters apart.

"Buzz ......"

As the first attack echelon of the Yanjing Wing penetrated the clouds and swooped down, it was just above the rear of the air force group. In the eyes of the pilots of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, the group of military planes flying in a neat formation was already a lamb to be slaughtered at this moment.

"Fire!"

At the same time as Senior Colonel Zhang Ao's order was given, the trigger had already been pulled.

"Da Da Da!"

The machine gun of the Cat Demon fighter immediately spat out tongues of fire, and bullets shot out of the gaps in the propellers, drawing a slight arc in the air, hitting the enemy planes in front and below.

"Boom!"

Senior Colonel Zhang Ao hit a Type 3 fighter for the first time, and in an instant, he saw an explosion in the fuel tank at the rear of the pilot's cockpit in the middle of the fighter, causing a large fire, and thick smoke came out rapidly.

"Da Da Da!"

At this time, the 25 fighters of the first echelon opened fire one after another, condescendingly, and one after another streamers hit the fuselage of the enemy plane in the blink of an eye. In an instant, the enemy planes in the rear, one after another, were shot down one after another. Some were hit in the cabin, the pilot was killed on the spot, and the plane lost control and spun and fell. Some exploded after being hit directly into the middle fuel tank, while others had their wings discounted, and the plane lost its balance and fell.

The fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force were much faster than the fighters of the enemy group, and the 25 fighters of the first echelon quickly accelerated forward, and the machine guns in the nose sometimes fired several short points and sometimes several long points.

Immediately afterwards, the fighters of other echelons also swooped down one after another, continued to follow the first echelon, and continued to attack the enemy aircraft that had not been hit before.

Because it was a surprise attack, the Chinese Imperial Air Force once again occupied a commanding height, and in just a few minutes, more than 20 enemy planes had been shot down.

The sudden attack on the rear shocked the big Sadai on the clouds in the forefront, and what he had been fearing still happened.

"Bagaya Road! Won't it be a dignified fight? Why is it a sneak attack every time? ”

In the opinion of the great minister of the clouds, and even in the armies of the entire world, almost half of the officers believe that the Chinese Emperor [***] team is an expert in sneak attacks. Although they know that sneak attack is the fastest and most effective method of fighting, they are used to being gentlemen, and their thinking has not yet changed.

"Sir, they are above us, and now we can only be beaten and unable to fight back!"

"Bastard! What do I see? "The great man on the cloud looked back at the battle situation behind him, the one-sided slaughter, the Chinese Imperial Air Force was above, and the machine guns were slamming at the fighters below, almost every ten seconds, a fighter would fall with black smoke.

"All fighters spread out on both wings!"

With the order of the great commander on the cloud was issued, the remaining dozen fighters rushed to the two wings to evade.

After seeing this situation, Senior Colonel Zhang Ao picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered: "The first and second brigades pay attention, the enemy aircraft group has already dodged in the direction of the two wings and is ready to close the net!" ”

After repeating it again, the first and second teams replied that they had received it.

The fighters of the Yue Army had just taken refuge in the east and west flanks, avoiding the first wave of attacks of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, and were thinking about how to deal with the group of fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force, when they swooped down again on their heads and two wings.

At this time, there were only a dozen fighters in the Air Force. And the 1st and 2nd Battalions of the Yanjing Air Wing, which dived down from the left flank, were both groups of 50 fighters.

"Dada...... Boom! ”

In less than three minutes, more than half of the remaining fighters of the Air Force were shot down, and one after another fighter planes were planted into the sea from the sky like rockets being ignited. The few remaining fighters scattered and fled, and they were already in a state of collapse.

Seeing that the Imperial Chinese Air Force was in a superior strike position, the Commander of the Clouds ordered the remaining fighters to lower their altitude and flee with him.

At this moment, under the command of the heavy weight of the clouds, the seven fighters of the Yue Army suddenly lowered to an airspace of 100 meters, and they were almost about to fly over the sea.

"That won't change your fate!" Senior Colonel Zhang Ao snorted coldly: "Attention to the major teams, in the formation of two and four planes, the major teams are scattered, spread out into a sky net, slowly reduce the altitude, and continue to attack the enemy aircraft from a high position!" ”

The weight of the cloud thought that he could get rid of the situation of being passively beaten by reducing the altitude, he no longer had the ** to fight, and he only thought about escaping at this time.

Two hundred Cat Demon fighters of the Imperial Chinese Air Force followed closely behind, getting closer and closer.

"Da Da Da!"

The weight of the clouds swayed from side to side with the fighter plane, dodging Zhang Ao, who was firing at him from behind. The two of them dangled in the air like swings.

It is said that the circling surname of the British F1 fighter modeled by the Air Force is very good, and it is often able to use the tail swing to avoid the bullets fired from behind. However, in the face of a huge numerical disparity, he dodged the bullet on the left, only to be hit by the bullet on the right. Fighter jets plummeted into the sea in billowing smoke.

The big fighter on the cloud wanted to climb and attack several times, but got rid of one after another, there were too many fighters of the Imperial Air Force of China, and every minute and second occupied the advantageous position of shooting from above, plus the numerical advantage, no matter how the plane used tactics to evade, they were all hit by the bullets in the sky, and the fighters around the heavy on the cloud were shot down and crashed one after another.

After the 23rd minute of the battle, only the heavy landplane and two other wingmen were left of the 50 fighters brought out by the weight of the clouds. The two wingman pilots were personally trained by the weight of the clouds and had a lot of experience and algorithms, so they survived to the end.

At this time, all the fighter groups of the Yanjing Air Wing were still steady, and there were no fighters acting alone. The 200 fighters formed a huge sky net, covering the enemy planes below, so that the enemy planes could not escape no matter where they flew. The huge fighter group was like a space carrier, covering the sky and weighing down the weight of the clouds below.

At this time, the weight on the cloud suddenly stopped in the air, climbed up suddenly, and at the same time flipped to the right, and actually flew behind Zhang Ao's landline, and pulled the trigger at the same time.

Zhang Ao was taken aback, he didn't expect the weight of the cloud to do this. However, he quickly calmed down and immediately flipped to dodge the bullets fired by the enemy plane.

At this time, Zhang Ao's wingman rolled over and slowed down at the same time, and fired fiercely at the heavy landline on the clouds, forcing the heavy on the clouds to let go of Zhang Ao's wingman.

Then several Cat Demon fighters swooped down to attack the weight of the clouds, forcing him to give up the attack again and keep evading.

The weight on the clouds is very sad, and if you scold the Chinese Imperial Air Force for being shameless, you will bully more and less.

After Zhang Ao stabilized, he was aroused by the blow just now, and snorted: "Look, it looks like I studied at the Imperial Aviation School!" Then grandpa will play with you! ”

Then Zhang Ao ordered: "Everyone else dodge, this guy will be handed over to me!" ”

Zhang Ao gave an order, flipped on his side twice in a row, and attacked the heavy dive on the clouds, and the heavy on the clouds hurriedly avoided it, and at this time, the other Imperial Chinese Air Force fighters received the order of the wing commander and had to dodge.

Zhang Ao and the weight of the cloud are one-on-one.

Seeing this, the weight of the clouds was immediately aroused, and he was also stirred up with his blood surname, and he fought with Zhang Ao.

The commanders of both sides drove the plane and looked very capable, and they couldn't tell the winner for a while.

However, the two wingmen on the cloud were miserable, and they were immediately surrounded and beaten by dozens of fighters of the Chinese Empire...... Boom! ”

Two flames rose in an instant, devouring two fighter planes, and then fell into the sea.

In this way, the machine is left with the weight of himself on the clouds, Zhang Ao and him alone, and the other 199 cat demon fighters of the Chinese Empire are in the sky above the two, always controlling the commanding heights.

Yun Shangzhong had no interest in fighting Zhang Ao at all, he knew that if he continued to fight, he would definitely die, so he always made escape the first priority.

After a few somersaults, the weight on the clouds rushed into a cloud, and Zhang Ao only flew in, but he couldn't see each other in the clouds at all.

Soon, when Zhang Ao flew out of the clouds, he had already lost the weight of the clouds.

Zhang Ao looked back at the back, but he couldn't find the weight on the clouds. At this moment, a burst of shooting suddenly came to mind outside the eastern clouds.

"Dada...... Rumble! ”

The moment he was about to escape from the eastern clouds, he realized that there were 199 warplanes staring at him above him.

Countless bullets tilted onto the body of the weight of the cloud and the plane, and the entire plane was instantly smashed into a sieve, and then there was a violent explosion, and the plane was blown into countless fragments, flying everywhere, temporarily releasing the last spark.

"Report to the wing commander that the enemy aircraft tried to escape in order to be shot down."

Zhang Ao sighed, he wanted to have a good time with him, but the other party was bent on escaping, which made Zhang Ao a little unhappy.

"Forget it, mission accomplished, return."
