readx; "Is it malfunctioning again?" The radar soldier muttered in his heart but still looked carefully at the oscilloscope along the line, but the oscilloscope still displayed a chaotic signal, could it really be the plane of the Zhina?

This question made the radar soldier's forehead can't help but break out in a cold sweat!

He said, "Although my radar surname can not be very good, but the gap between their radar and the radar gap of China, Britain and the United States is mainly reflected in the accuracy and stability of the surname, and my radar is two days of fishing and three days of drying nets, and it is good when it is fine, but when it comes to war, it will not work, so it is said that their radar stability surname is not good, in fact, the radar stability surname of the Americans is not good, and the radar stability surname of China is better." There is also www.biquge.info lack of accuracy, and the lack of accuracy directly affects the fact that it is difficult to use radar in the fire control system of the main gun and anti-aircraft artillery, because the requirements for accuracy of fire control radar are very high.

But in the air search, it is said, 'My radar is still capable of this kind of work!'

Although it is very difficult to identify enemy planes from the chaotic radio waves, the radar crews who have been trained for a long time are still able to do it. In contrast, radars in China and the United Kingdom and the United States have become commonly equipped with flat position displays. That is, it is possible to visually display a target of 360 degrees with a circular scan, and the old oscilloscopes were already obsolete in China in the late thirties.

However, despite the oscilloscope used by my radar to display the radar scans, the experienced radar soldiers can still see at a glance that the situation is somewhat unusual at this moment.

"Is it an enemy swarm?" The second lieutenant officer had already walked over, and without waiting for the radar soldier to reply, he looked at the scope.

The more he looked at the second lieutenant officer, the more his face changed greatly, and then he walked quickly to the phone, and after shaking the phone, he said loudly into the phone: "The enemy plane has been discovered, it is due north, there are at least more than 800 planes!" ”

At this time, the other person listening to the phone was also a little frightened: "Are you sure it's more than 800?" Request reconfirmation! ”

"Sure, at least eight hundred enemy aircraft!"

Takeno Hisashi looked at the radar station that was a little flustered, although he didn't understand it a little, but he still knew that there were Chinese planes coming, he boarded his bicycle after he went out, but when he just pedaled his bicycle on the dirt road, suddenly there was a roar in his ears, and when he looked back, he found several small black dots drilled above the clouds, these black dots quickly became larger, and then these small black dots that went straight to the radar station evolved into a Chinese plane painted with five-color stars, Even if he didn't know much about the various aircraft of the Chinese, Takeno Hisahiro still recognized it at a glance as a Chinese F5 fighter.

The four F5 fighters quickly dived down, and then when they approached the radar station, they dropped several aerial bombs, which were much smaller than the 500-kilogram and 1,000-kilogram aerial bombs used by the navy to counter ships. These 100-kilogram aerial bombs were commonly carried by fighter jets and F6D fighter-bombers to bomb ground targets.

China's family of aerial bombs is very complete, from 25 kg to 50 kg and 100 kg, to 250 kg, 500 kg, 1,000 kg, and even 1,500 kg and 2,000 kg of aerial bombs, but the latter two are used very rarely, because they are too heavy and only those bombers can carry. The bombs used by different types of aircraft are inherently different, and the bombs carried on different bombing missions are also different.

Now the aerial bombs dropped by these four F5 fighters are 100-kilogram aerial bombs, and this does not mean that F5 fighters cannot carry heavier bombs, in fact, F5 fighters can even carry 500-kilogram aerial bombs, but after bringing them, not only the maneuvering tragedy, but more importantly, the range will also become extremely tragic. This time, in order to bomb Tokyo, the F5 fighters needed to provide full escort, and only a small number of dozens of F5 fighters carried 100 kilograms of aerial bombs, and the intended target would be the radar stations along the way. And this 100-kilogram bomb is also the maximum bomb load that the F5 fighter can carry when it is on a long-range voyage.

The other F5 fighters did not carry any bombs, and they needed to be kept in the best air combat condition.

After a number of aerial bombs were dropped, they were quickly destroyed by the house of the radar station, and another bomb also fell under one of the signal towers, and the explosion directly hit the signal towers, and at the same time, the local air defense headquarters in the central part of the army in Toyama, a military officer held a telephone, and at this time there was no sound from the telephone, but before the communication was cut off, he clearly heard the words "enemy attack" and so on.

Knowing that the matter was important, he immediately reported to a Nakazo next to him: "The Noto radar station has been attacked by an air raid, and communication has been cut off at present, and the Noto radar station reported before that there is an enemy bomber group over the sea northeast of Noto, and there are at least more than 800 of them!" ”

"What?" The center of Nakasaka Listening Island was also a little unconvinced, and immediately said: "Is there any news from Sado Island?" And did you find any traces of the enemy on the Fukui side? ”

Several non-commissioned officers who were in front of the telephone shook their heads one by one, and even though they heard this, they immediately said, "Immediately confirm the situation with the radar stations in the central part of Honshu!" ”

Immediately, when the signal soldiers under his command were making their own calls, he also said to a second lieutenant beside him: "Connect the phone from Noto Airport and ask them to send a squadron of planes to check and search for enemy planes!" ”

Time passed bit by bit, and just when Nakasa was about to lose patience, a communications soldier shouted loudly: "The Navy reports that a large-scale enemy aircraft formation has been found in the direction of Kakukura Island!" ”

And before his words fell, a communications soldier on the other side stood up: "The Fukui radar station reported that an enemy aircraft formation was found in the northeast!" ”

"The Zhuzhou Observation Post reported that it had discovered a formation of enemy planes, and the formation of enemy planes was passing over the local area, with an altitude of 10,000 meters, a speed of 400 kilometers, and a course of 170, and the number was initially estimated to be 150 aircraft!" Another signal soldier hurriedly stood up and reported loudly.

Nakasa listened to the continuous reports, and immediately even his eyebrows were furrowed, although he had not figured out how many Chinese planes were attacking until now, but at least it was a large formation of more than hundreds of planes, and he hurriedly sent the commander to the commander, and at the same time, he also quickly reported several fighter units in the central region, preparing to take off the fighter units to intercept the operation!

When the massive Chinese bomber group was discovered, the army air force and antiaircraft artillery units in the central region and the Kwantung region were all in action. In the two or three years of the late thirties, when the military confrontation between China and China was at its most serious before World War II, in the late thirties, China deployed thousands of aircraft centered on the Tsushima Strait, and at the same time deployed more than 1,500 antiaircraft guns in the Kyushu region and the 'China' region (this 'China' is called 'the western part of Honshu Island').

In addition, during World War II, the local air defense radar network was built one after another, and the radars along the Pacific coast and various air defense settings were originally only aimed at the United States, while the coastal areas of the Sea and the East China Sea were aimed at China.

After the outbreak of the Pacific War, it was said that "due to the tight war in the direction of Australia, a large number of fighter units continued, so it was said that most of the troops of the army aviation were deployed in the direction of New Guinea and Australia, and the main air defense fighter units that remained on the mainland were mainly interceptor fighters, including the army's Type II fighter, that is, the Nakajima Ki-44 Zhong Kui high-altitude interceptor fighter, and in addition to the Type III fighter, that is, the Kawasaki Ki-61 Feiyan fighter, the words before the war." The total number of these two types of planes deployed on the mainland is about 1,500, but in the first few days of June and early July, large-scale air battles broke out every day in China, and it was said that "Ben's local air defense fighters are dozens of planes a day, and even hundreds of planes will be lost in a day; by today's 11 July, there are less than 400 Zhong Kui fighters used in China's local air defense, and only more than 500 Feiyan fighters."

In addition, there were some night fighters and some other miscellaneous fighters, but the Navy Zero and Army Type 1 fighters, which were very famous in World War II, did not appear in this kind of local air defense operations. Because the Zero War is called the carrier-based aircraft of the Navy, although there are some Army versions of the Zero War on the Army side, the overall number is not large, and it is also a type of fighter, which is sent to the Pacific theater such as the Australian battlefield and the island of New Guinea.

Even if they stay in their homeland, they will not be able to play a big role, because in order to avoid losses, China's strategic bomber forces adopt ultra-high-altitude bombing, often flying at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and at this altitude, they can't climb up to those Zero World War and Army World War I, let alone intercept bombers!

Among the many fighters in Ben, only a few can barely intercept the B11 and B16 bombers, including Zhong Kui fighters and Feiyan fighters. In addition, it is said that the Army's latest four-type fighter Ki-84 Hurricane can barely climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters, but now the Ki-84 Hurricane is now only in a small production state, and now there are only about 100 of them, and the Navy's Purple Electric Fighter can barely do it, but now this fighter is facing the same problem as the Army's Hurricane, that is, there is no way to mass produce it now.

In the face of the overwhelming F5 fighter group of the Chinese Air Force, it is said that the fighter units of the local air defense are simply unable to effectively defend themselves, and because of the inferior high-altitude surname, when these fighters rise into the air to intercept the Chinese bombers, almost all the Chinese F5 fighters are shot down by the escort.

The above said: 'Although the army's Zhong Kui fighters, Feiyan fighters, and fighters such as Hurricane and Zidian can barely intercept the B16 bomber, it is only reluctantly, and it usually takes a long time to climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

To a certain extent, the local air defense system can be said to be undefended in the face of China's strategic bomber group, and the anti-aircraft artillery cannot hit so high, the fighter cannot fly so high, and if it barely flies up, it will be shot down by the escorting F5 fighters.

So much so that in June and early July, during the air defense operations, many planes of the Army Air Force were shot down, and one officer of the Army Air Force said bitterly: "If we can be given enough high-altitude fighters, then we can exchange half of our current efforts for more than 10 times the results we have now!" ”

However, his hope is destined to be unrealized, this year the fighter wants to fly high needs to be a super-first-class aviation level, not only need a liquid-cooled engine, but also need a multi-stage and multi-speed supercharger, whether it is with mechanical supercharging or exhaust gas turbocharging, must use the surname can superior multi-stage multi-speed supercharger to be able to obtain excellent high-altitude surname energy.

For example, the F5 of the Chinese Air Force is the CZ2000 series liquid-cooled engine produced by the engine department of Chuzhou Aircraft Company, the initial model is 2,000 horses, but by 1944, the CZ2000-3 liquid-cooled engine on the latest F5 fighter has reached 2,300 horsepower, and it also uses exhaust gas turbochargers, while the American P51 uses a supercharged two-stage two-speed supercharger.

He said, "My technology is not very good in terms of supercharger or liquid-cooled engine, and now the best four-type fighter Hurricane they can do is not as good as China's F5 and several famous British and American aircraft in terms of actual ability."

But if you can't beat it, you can't help it, although it was very fortunate, but it said, 'Ben's native air defense forces are not without results, so far they have shot down more than 100 Chinese bombers of all kinds, and they have also shot down a total of nearly 100 F6D, F5 and F4 fighters.

Of course, they themselves lost even more, and in less than a month after the start of the war, they lost nearly 1,500 planes of all kinds in the course of fighting China, and nearly half of them were blown up on the ground where the war started, and the air battle losses were about 600 planes. If we put aside the ground losses and the results of the ground anti-aircraft artillery, and also the results of the bombers' self-defense firepower, the ratio of losses between the fighter units of the two sides, that is, the F4H, F5 series, and F6D of the Chinese Air Force, and the first, second, and third fighters of the army air force, is about one to six.

He said, "It would have taken six planes in exchange for shooting down a Chinese plane, and this situation has made some people even pessimistic that if they continue to fight like this, it is estimated that in less than two or three months, Ben's native air defense aircraft will be consumed!"

The consumption in air defense operations is so great, but the strength of the aviation industry is limited, and it is simply not possible to replenish these lost fighters in a short period of time. In the past few years, Ben has been fighting against the United States, and has lost a large number of aircraft, but at that time, Ben's domestic industrial areas have not yet been hit, and various industrial raw materials can be replenished from the South Pacific region in a steady stream, and it is very important that a large number of raw materials can be obtained from China. In the first two years, it was said that "Ben could not only obtain industrial raw materials from China, but even the important military equipment parts such as aero engines could be replenished, but at that time, although China thought about strengthening the strength of "Ben" so that "Ben" could confront Britain and the United States, the aero engines sold to "Ben" were limited to old air-cooled engines.

For the technologically advanced liquid-cooled engine and supercharging technology is not strict, it is said that "although Ben also obtained the technology of liquid-cooled engine from Germany, and produced the HA-40V twelve-cylinder liquid-cooled engine, but said that Ben's own industrial base is still too poor, and the level of the engine produced is far inferior to the liquid-cooled engine of China, Britain, the United States and Germany and other countries of the era, and the output is extremely small, because so far the batch of liquid-cooled engines is only the army three-type Feiyan fighter."

Although the technology of the air-cooled engine can barely keep up with the first-class level, the overall aviation level of this is still relatively backward among the various participating countries in World War II, and the technical level is poor, but the output is not high.

During the Pacific War, it was already very difficult to replenish the consumption of aircraft, but after China declared war on the country, China began to carry out large-scale bombing of the industrial areas of the country, especially the aviation industry, which further reduced the production of the aircraft, and it was even more difficult to replenish the consumption of aircraft.

However, the air battle between China and Ben was very fierce, and large-scale air battles broke out in the Tsushima Strait, Kyushu Island, and the western part of Honshu Island almost every day, and Ben lost a large number of planes almost every day, and when the main front-line fighters suffered too great losses, they were even forced to redeploy the fighters that had been originally relegated to the second line, such as the Type 97 fighters, to the battlefield.

When the Central Air Defense Command discovered a large-scale attack by a large number of Chinese planes, several airfields in the central region immediately took off to intercept fighters, and at the same time, the Kanto region around Tokyo also received an alert and took off fighter planes one after another.

As soon as these fighters take off, they begin to climb rapidly!

They are to carry out interception operations, and in order to intercept the Chinese bomber group at an altitude of 10,000 meters, they must first climb to a sufficient height, and Zhong Kui fighters and Feiyan fighters climb one after another, and under the guidance of the rear air defense command, they approach the Chinese bomber group.

The 27th Wing of the Chinese Air Force, as the first wing to be equipped with B16 bombers in China, has been using B16 bombers for several years, and has trained many pilots for many subsequent B16 bomber wings. At this time, escorted by more than 100 F5 fighters of the 14th Wing of the Chinese Air Force, they crossed the Noto Peninsula and entered the airspace over the mainland.

Shortly after entering the sky over the mainland, an F5 fighter on the left side of the formation gave a signal: "Enemy aircraft have been found in the lower left of the front, the number is twenty!" ”

Although the enemy's interceptor fighters were discovered, the B16 bomber formation did not change at all, but continued to maintain a tight cabinet formation and continued to fly forward, while an F5 fighter group on the left side of the formation had already flipped over one after another and faced the intercepted fighters.

"Captain 142, please maintain the altitude and don't risk lowering the altitude!" The commander of the 14th Wing in the formation gave the 142nd Brigade an order to prevent these fighters from voluntarily lowering their altitude and trembling with the fighters in order to salvage the opportunity to shoot down the enemy plane.

At this time, the task of the fighter is not to shoot down many planes, but to ensure the safety of the bomber, and since the fuel of the F5 fighter is also limited, if it is necessary to accompany the B16 throughout the operation, then it is necessary to save fuel and reserve enough fuel for the air battle after arriving in the sky over Tokyo.

Therefore, in the process of going to Tokyo, if it is not necessary, it is impossible to entangle with the fighter jets called "Ben", and then consume a lot of fuel. Besides, if the altitude is reduced, then the F5 fighter will not be able to take advantage of the high-altitude energy that it is best at.

Therefore, when carrying out long-distance escort missions, F5 fighters generally only accompany the bombers to fly, unless the fighters take the initiative to intercept, otherwise the F5 fighters generally ignore the fighters that are vacant below, and rarely take the initiative to reduce the altitude to attack.
