Chapter 232: Want to Escape? No way
The Nakajima Type 97 fighter plane that was bombed was plumping with smoke and planted headlong on the ground, and before the little devil pilot Nakamura Tsering could parachute, the little devil plane came into close contact with the earth, and a violent explosion occurred, turning into pieces of wreckage.
The remaining 20 or so Mustang fighters also opened fire at this time, and immediately several little devil fighters were shot, emitting thick smoke, and planted on the ground, and the rest of the little devil planes got rid of the shooting of the Chinese fighters and began to get rid of them.
However, most of the Nakajima Type 91 planes that could lag behind by the little devil were shot down by the Mustang fighters in less than a few minutes because the maximum flight speed was too slow and the maneuvering was too poor.
The two sides on the ground, seeing the wonderful and fierce air battle in the air, forgot everything for a while, and all their energy and eyes were focused on the fierce battle in the sky, as one after another little devil planes were shot down, the little devils on the ground from the division commander down to the ordinary little devil soldiers, from the joy of seeing their planes just now, immediately became heavy.
The officers and men of the 36 th Group Army on the ground applauded one after another when they saw the splendid performance of their air force, and some soldiers even shouted happily to the sky: "Comrades of the flying brigade, you are doing well." ”
Qian Long, commander of the Second Infantry Division, was a little worried at first when he saw the group of little devils appearing, worried about whether the Chinese fighters could arrive in time and whether they could intercept the group of little devils.
But the outstanding performance of the Chinese aircraft group just now not only made Qian Long breathe a sigh of relief, but even many ordinary soldiers quietly let go of their high hearts.
At this time, the bombers of the little devils, seeing that the Chinese fighters were so powerful and that there were quite a few of them, immediately stopped descending in altitude, stopped preparing for bombing, and made a big maneuver one after another, and fled in a hurry in the direction of Beiping.
The remaining little devil Nakashima fighters, in order to cover the escape of the little devil bombers, immediately fought with the Mustang fighters, but at this time, most of the 24 planes of the little devils had been shot down, and only two of the Mustang fighters of the [***] team were slightly injured and were hit by the 7.7mm bullets on the little devil planes.
The Mustang fighters, which had an absolute advantage in numbers and surnames, also gave up the pursuit of the little devil bombers, and immediately started a fierce battle in the air with the little devil's Nakajima fighters.
Now it is almost two Mustang fighters against a little devil plane, and the Mustang fighter plane immediately has the advantage, one after another little devil planes were shot down, the little devil planes emitted black smoke, one by one planted to the ground, and one little devil plane was planted on the position of the little devils, and several little devils were stoned to death.
Minamijiro, the commander of the Little Devil Division, who was still watching the battle on the city wall, saw that the planes on his side were shot down one by one, and most of the planes of the squadron were intact except for a few that were a little injured and flew a little shaky.
Minamijiro's face was pale, his hands holding the binoculars, and the green tendons in his hands were bulging, obviously extremely angry and uncomfortable. In less than ten minutes, the air battle ended in the victory of the Chinese Air Force, and all 24 Little Devil planes were shot down.
Minamijiro saw that all the fighters on his side were wiped out, and his horse was like ashes, but many little devils were secretly happy that more than a dozen of his bombers had successfully escaped.
At the end of the air battle over Zhangjiakou, the Mustang fighters circled beautifully over Zhangjiakou and specially demonstrated to the little devils, and the officers and men of the 36th Group Army on the ground immediately applauded, and many people shouted to the sky: "Comrades of the flying brigade, you are mighty!" ”
Many little devils, seeing that all their fighters were annihilated, and only a dozen bombers did not drop a single bomb, fled in a hurry in the direction of Beiping, and immediately hung their heads and were devastated.
After completing a few beautiful circles in the air, more than 20 Mustang fighters immediately chased after Beiping, and the trail of more than a dozen bombers of the little devil has not been able to escape the radar monitoring of the early warning aircraft of the flying group in the sky.
Many little devils saw that the Chinese fighters had been chasing their bombers for so long, and the little devils thought to themselves, more than a dozen bombers have been away for nearly twenty minutes, can these Chinese planes still catch up? In the vast sky, to pursue the plane that has flown dozens of miles away, can the [***] team find it?
Not to mention, these little devil bombers are really cunning, they first flew more than ten kilometers in the direction of Beiping, completely out of the sight of the Chinese fighters, and then collectively changed direction, headed north, and prepared to go around in a circle, and then return to Beiping Airport.
Seeing that his bomber squadron was not escorted by fighters, and that the Chinese fighters behind him might catch up immediately, he immediately decided to fly in the direction of Beiping for a period of time to create an illusion for the Chinese planes that their own bomber squadron would fly straight back to the Beiping airfield.
In fact, as soon as the little devil's bomber got out of the sight of the Chinese plane, it had already changed direction, and if the Chinese plane chased straight in the direction of Beiping, it would definitely be in the air and would not be able to catch up with the bomber group of the little devil.
But the little devil's bomber never thought that his trick was completely futile, and the trail of the little devil's bomber group has been closely monitored by the radar on the Chinese early warning aircraft.
More than 20 Mustang fighters, under the guidance of early warning aircraft, chased after the bomber group of the little devils, the maximum flight speed of the Mustang fighters was more than 700 kilometers per hour, and the cruising speed was not slow, the bombers of the little devils were bulky and slow, and it didn't take long for the Mustang fighters to be less than 20 kilometers away from the bomber group of the little devils, and you could see the traces of the little devil bomber group immediately.
The squadron leader of the little devil bomber squadron was complacent, happy with his "wise" decision, and the little devil squadron leader was ninety percent sure in his heart that his bomber squadron would be able to get rid of the pursuit of Chinese planes and smoothly return to the Beiping airfield.
The Mustang fighter flew at high speed, the distance of 20 kilometers was instantaneous, and the two planes numbered 009 and 012 flew in the front, and the pilot of the Mustang fighter No. 009 said happily to his wireless telephone microphone: "Old Duan, don't rob me with me, I have already aimed at the little devil bomber in front of me." ”
The pilot of the No. 012 Mustang fighter also said happily: "Old Yu, I won't rob you, I've already set my eyes on the little devil bomber in front of you." ”
The pilot of the No. 009 machine laughed when he heard this, "Old Duan, thank you, let's see who shoots down the little devil bomber first." ”
After speaking, the pilot of the No. 009 Mustang fighter, piloting his Mustang fighter, quickly approached the group of little devil bombers, and after a while, the pilot of No. 009 saw that the little devil bomber in front of him had entered the range of his own fighter, and opened fire without hesitation, six machine guns, and dense machine gun bullets fired at this little devil bomber.
It's much easier to fight a bomber than a little devil fighter, the bomber size of the little devil is much larger than that of a fighter, and the maneuverability is far worse than that of a fighter, and the bomber of the little devil will not have tactical actions such as swaying left and right like a fighter, or even spinning, and the bomber is very convenient for the fighters to aim, so most of the bullets fired by the 009 machine hit the fuselage of this little devil bomber.
Not to be outdone, the pilot of the No. 012 aircraft was not to be outdone, and at the same time as the No. 009 aircraft fired, he also fired at the little devil bomber he was aiming at, and the dense 12.7 mm machine gun bullets hit the little devil bomber in front of him full of holes.
It may be that there were too many bombs carried on the little devil bomber, and as the 009 and 012 units fired, less than a dozen aims, the two little devil bombers, almost at the same time, were blown up at the same time, and the violent explosion blew the little devil bomber to pieces.
The pilots of No. 009 and No. 012 laughed happily when they saw that the little devil bombers would soon be blown up, and they seemed extremely excited.
Just when the two of them were happy, the laughter and scolding of the captain of his fighter squadron came from the headphones: "You two rabbit cubs, don't wait for me, just fire." After saying that, the squadron leader also laughed.
The fierce shooting of the Chinese fighters, the violent explosion of the two little devil bombers, the movement was very loud, and the group of little devil bombers who had not been aware that the Chinese fighters had caught up with them now finally knew that the Chinese fighters had caught up like a ghost.
The squadron leader of the little devil bomber, who was still complacent about his "wise" decision, heard the sound of fierce shooting from behind, followed by two loud noises, and immediately turned pale, and thought to himself, it's over, it's all over, the Chinese plane has caught up.
The little devil's bomber did not have the escort of fighters, and its flight speed was far inferior to that of China's Mustang fighters, so it was destined to only be beaten.
Many little devil pilots also know this, and today must be inevitable, the little devil squadron leader, seeing that the matter has come to this, thought to himself, he can only abandon the plane and parachute.
So the little devil squadron leader immediately reluctantly ordered: "All pay attention, abandon the plane and parachute, and hurry up to parachute." ”
After speaking, the little devil squadron leader took the umbrella bag and jumped off the plane first, and the little devil pilots who received the order began to parachute one after another.
But at this time, many little devil pilots had no time to parachute, because the Mustang fighters of the [***] team, seeing that the little devils began to parachute, immediately increased their strikes, and all the Mustang fighters fired at the little devil bombers one after another, and several little devil bombers were immediately exploded by dense machine gun bullets.
In less than ten minutes, the sky was clear, there was not a single little devil bomber, all the bombers were shot down or blown up by volley.
More than a dozen little devil pilots who successfully parachuted out, seeing that one of their bomber squadrons was wiped out in such a short period of time, were full of despair and sadness, but they did not expect that when they took off from Beiping Airport, everyone was full of confidence, thinking that they could blow up the heavy artillery group of the squadron in one fell swoop, but they did not expect that in the end, it would be the end of the entire army.
