The sudden swoop down from the clouds frightened the pilots of the Ottoman bomber group, and when they saw the number of Chinese fighter groups, the pilots of the Ottoman bomber group breathed a sigh of relief, but the fear of being ambushed was not so easy to disappear.

At the commander's gesture, the fighters in the Ottoman bomber group began to fight with these Chinese fighters who were diving down, and the bomber groups in the back continued to fly towards the Chinese fleet from the left and right sides, apparently trying to teach the Chinese fleet a profound lesson.

It's a pity that the commander of the Ottoman bomber group did not take into account that since the Chinese fighter group can ambush here, it means that the Chinese army has been aware of the other party's bombing operation and is fully prepared, but this is not a matter for the Ottoman bomber commander, he thinks that his own aircraft group is so close to the opponent's fleet, even if the other side is prepared, but it must be underprepared.

Fighters are in a high-altitude ambush is also a kind of sneak attack tactics, sneak attack tactics can be used in air combat There are many uses, such as using clouds to conceal, and the Chinese fighter group is to use the clouds to hide itself and avoid being discovered in advance, this is not only that, the Chinese fighter group also uses the sun's rays.

At this time, it was already more than four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was already in the west, and the Ottoman bomber group was flying from the northeast, and the Chinese fighter group swooped down from the clouds, just with their backs to the sun's rays, and the Ottoman bomber pilots were dazzled by the oncoming sun rays when they looked at the Chinese fighter group, and the sunlight wanted most of the Ottoman bomber group pilots to look at the Qing fighters.

For the Chinese army, the use of clouds and the sun's rays are both common tactics. Whenever you have the opportunity, you should use the sun and attack with your back to the sun. Facing the sun and burrowing into the clouds are good tactics when escaping.

"Attack, fire!" The leader, Colonel Jifan, gave the order into the headset. This is the advantage of advanced equipment, you can give any order at any time, and the Ottoman bomber group is not good, only Huaguo is equipped with radio instant communication equipment on fighters and warships, and only Huaguo invented this thing, which is currently a top scientific and technological thing, it is impossible to sell it at all, and Huaguo is also very strict about the secrecy of technology, and the tone is very tight. Other countries have not even heard of it.

Forty of the most advanced fighters swooped down from the clouds and opened fire at the same time, inflicting heavy casualties on the Ottoman bomber group at the first opportunity, and in the blink of an eye, the front twelve fighters were hit, eight of them exploded in a direct volley, and four of them rose with billowing smoke.

When the two sides approached, the Chinese fighters inflicted several casualties on the other side, and the Ottoman air division flew horizontally. The Chinese fighter groups were not within the firing range of their airborne machine guns, and they had to raise their noses if they wanted to attack, but both sides flew fast, and the Ottoman bomber groups did not have time to raise their heads en masse to meet the enemy's fire. The Huaguo fighter group had already passed through them, flying backwards and downwards.

After the two fighters separated, the Chinese fleet was ordered to quickly turn around, while the Ottoman bomber group did not have instant contact tools. The command is extremely inconvenient, when the commander's order has not yet been delivered. The Chinese fighter group had completed its turn and was attacking the Ottoman bomber group above it from six o'clock below the Ottoman bomber group.

The attack was carried out from the bottom up from the direction of six o'clock, which took advantage of the blind spot of the enemy fighter pilots. This angle is a dead angle of the pilot's line of sight, and if you enter from this direction, it will be difficult for the enemy to detect it in advance. When attacking bombers, this position is also a dead end for many bombers' self-defense firepower (basically all dive bombers are. But note that the weakness of the four-shot strategic bomber formation is not here) The most classic method of attack is: from the direction of the sun, approaching at a higher altitude, then vertically diving below 6 o'clock for enemy aircraft, and then quickly pulling up the attack. This is the kind of combat method adopted by the Chinese army's fighter group.

Of course, the damage caused by collective, large-scale operations is much greater than that of individual and individual actions, but the Chinese fighter group attacked the Ottoman group again from the direction of six o'clock, and after killing one penetration, the Ottoman group lost 14 fighters again, and only two attack tactics caused the Ottoman group to lose a total of 26 fighters.

Such a large casualty was too much for the rookie pilots of the Ottoman Empire to bear, and they completely ignored the orders and warnings given by their commanders in advance, and all the Ottoman fleet fighters quickly collapsed, and they could no longer maintain their formation. What else can I say about the Chinese army's fighter group, let's chase and kill each other, Colonel Fan gave such an order.

The commander of the Ottoman fleet was unable to command the fleet at this time, and only three fighters were still following his fighters, but they were taken care of by Colonel Van and others, and there was no time to regroup the collapsed fleet.

At this time, the bombers and torpedo groups behind the Chinese army also dared to come over, intercepting the Ottoman bombers respectively, and attacking them, the bombers and torpedo planes without aerial bombs and torpedoes are of course much more flexible, and the bombers and torpedo planes of the carrier-based models are not heavy, just light or medium, and they are much stronger than land-based heavy bombers in terms of power and flexibility, all the Ottoman bombers were stopped, and the Ottoman pilots and rookies were also engaged in air combat for the first time, Few people had been trained in this area before, and their performance was much worse than that of the Chinese pilots. The rookies fled one after another.

Under the orders of the commander, the Chinese pilots drove the fighters in pursuit, how did the Ottoman bombers full of ammunition escape? In order to escape faster, the Ottoman pilots dropped their bombs and fled at full speed, thousands of bombs fell into the sea and exploded, killing a large number of sea fish.

At this time, the pilots of the Chinese fighter group were engaged in an air battle with the Ottoman fighters, and after the successful implementation of the two rounds of sneak attack tactics, they could only engage in regular air combat.

Regular air combat also has tactical maneuvers, and sharp turns are the most basic of all air combat maneuvers. When the enemy plane was about to shoot at the Chinese fighter plane, a Chinese fighter quickly increased the off-axis angle, which was a high-G action. Turn to the attacker with maximum instantaneous turning speed. When the fighter makes a sharp turn, it should immediately make other moves. Because maintaining a sharp turn will make it a good target for enemy fighters, and when the sharp turn is completed, the Chinese army and the enemy aircraft should be about the same in space.

Generally speaking, the most taboo for the attacking side is to follow the circle, due to the difference in the hovering performance of the fighters of the two sides, the improper control of the position of the machine or the excessive speed, but overtake the target, fly over the head, and show their rear hemisphere in vain, then the situation has changed, and the defender just now has to start counterattacking......

For the attacker who is hovering and circling sharply, there are three methods: "direct pursuit", "backward pursuit" and "forward pursuit". At present, all the fighters of the Chinese army are pursuing the Ottoman fighters using these methods of pursuit.

"Direct" pursuit is very simple, in the attacker's scope, as long as you keep an eye on the defender's tail, as long as you have the opportunity or grasp, you will immediately fire.

"Backward pursuit" means that the attacker in order to always maintain the defender's back hemisphere, not overtake, follow and circle in the same direction, always slower than the defender, and look for offensive opportunities to fire in the tailgating, which is a backward pursuit.

"Forward pursuit" is a tangential volley, which pre-estimates the possible flight path of the defender, and then flies to a certain point on the path, taking a shortcut, looking for offensive opportunities. It has a certain advantage at a longer distance, reducing the attacker's unnecessary turn.

In the process of pursuit, sometimes the Ottoman fighters would turn around and attack when they were tired of being chased, and then the Chinese fighters would adopt new tactics.

For example, the Circling Dive attack, which in turn includes a high yoyo, high power gyal, low yoyo, and low power slalom attack. In addition, it is also possible to use the drum maneuver, the name comes from the path of the fighter, the barrel roll is not only a flying stunt, but also a kind of offensive and defensive maneuver. Drum maneuvers include offensive drums and defensive drums. There is also a flight maneuver, which is scissor flight. Scissor flight is a series of reverse spins when the fighter turns to the opposing opponent, in order to seize the rear attack position. In an aerial battle, if the attacker realizes that he is about to fly over the target, and the defender turns to the attacker prematurely after realizing the situation, then both sides enter scissor flight. If you're an attacker, scissor flying should be the last thing you think, and as a defender, scissor flying means you're in danger and an attacker has made a mistake.

When bitten by enemy planes, the Chinese fighter pilots used a variety of familiar flight maneuvers to defend and reverse the situation, such as somersaults, half-roll reversals, and vertical turn signal maneuvers.

After more than an hour of pursuit, the Ottoman fleet lost more than half of its fighters, a group of 100 fighters and bombers, and only about 30 of them fled back, and they were followed by a high-altitude reconnaissance plane of the Chinese army, and they found out the range and coordinates of the Ottoman fleet at the airport in Damascus.

The reconnaissance plane reported the location of the airfield where the Ottoman aircraft group was located to the fleet, and the expeditionary fleet reported the news to the expeditionary force headquarters in view of the fact that its side had just experienced a big battle and the air pilots were very tired, so it reported the news to the expeditionary force headquarters, and Wu Shiyou immediately ordered the land-based air force units in Baghdad to carry out a sneak attack on the Ottoman air force airfield in Damascus, and after a large-scale bombing, the opponent's airfield and all the warplanes on the airfield were destroyed, and there were few survivors of the airfield personnel.
