Chapter 1321: Attacking the Crowd with Outnumbered
After the "da-da-da" hit a Japanese fighter in front of him and exploded in the air, Tang Yunfei's fighter rolled on its side, shook off the tongue of fire composed of several bullets, pulled up the fighter plane and soared straight into the sky.
Tang Yunfei sighed slightly, "This is the first one, it should be the fourth one shot down" There were too many Japanese fighters, and within ten minutes of the war, their own group of planes were shot down by six, and his wingman Qian Dezhu, after shooting down two Japanese fighters, was attacked by three Japanese fighters and turned into a wisp of heroic soul over the sea of South China.
"What a good young man he is, for three years, he has been serving as his wingman, and it is gone in a blink of an eye, a ball of fire, a puff of smoke, a fresh life is gone, he was hit in order to cover himself, however, he himself did not take advantage, his own fleet has shot down thirteen Japanese fighters" Tang Yunfei's heart was in deep pain.
There was no time to grieve, the Japanese fighter chasing after the tail hit a cross trajectory, the wings trembled slightly, and several huge black holes appeared, this slight injury, for a fighter with rough skin and thick Soviet blood, it was like scratching a little skin, it did not affect the operation of the fighter at all, and after rolling up and down for a while, Tang Yunfei shot down another Japanese fighter.
"It's already the fifth" Tang Yunfei glanced at the surrounding air battle situation, disrupting the formation of the Japanese fighters, and his own aircraft group was also encircled and in a state of independent operation, but the effect of hard training at ordinary times showed that although they were surrounded by Japanese fighters several times larger than themselves, the pilots of the First Carrier-based Aircraft Flight Regiment still maintained a state of cooperation between the two planes.
One cover, one attack, all the Japanese fighters that were hit, not wounded, were not volleyed explosions. It was dragging a long black smoke and screaming headlong into the boundless sea, Tang Yunfei was proud of his partner, he saw. His own partners, in the face of a strong enemy, did not flinch, "Probably only himself, he fought alone" He laughed self-deprecatingly.
It has been fighting for more than twenty minutes, dragging the group of Japanese fighters. The second regiment inflicted heavy losses on the Japanese bomber group, creating favorable conditions, and the third brigade was also entangled with a wing of Japanese fighters, which was the result Tang Yunfei wanted most, but these twenty minutes were exchanged for the pilot's life.
Nogi Shincho, protected by four fighters, circled in a command position. Seeing the situation of the air battle, he was surprised in disbelief. The brave and ferocious fighting spirit and superb flying skills of the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the Independent Fleet subverted all the views of the Chinese people in Nogi's heart.
"Is this an inferior Shina man? How can he have such flying skills and fighting spirit, incredible" Nogi thought to himself, especially one of the China fighters, not only was it unscathed in the encirclement and interception of several of his own fighters. He also shot down several of his own fighters one after another, and this pilot should be the best among the pilots in China.
The situation of the air battle made Nogi very uncomfortable, and the four fighter wings were actually entangled in the original airspace for more than 20 minutes by the fighters of one wing. Nogi's eyes were on fire, he wanted to join the war group several times, and shot down a few Shina fighters to show his subordinates, but they were stopped by the fighters protecting him, even if Nogi threatened with severe punishment, it would not help.
The four Japanese fighter pilots who were responsible for protecting Nogi's safety were all experienced veterans, and they received an order from the deputy commander of the Seventh Air Force on their way to the airspace of the Andaman Sea that they must ensure Commander Nogi's absolute safety no matter what, and that they must not allow the commander to participate in air battles.
The deputy commander also stressed that this was an order from Prince Zairen, chief of the General Staff, and the four Japanese pilots knew in their hearts that this master's life was more precious than ours, and he couldn't die and couldn't die, so no matter how angry Nogi scolded and the young master lost his temper, he just pretended to be deaf and dumb and was unmoved, anyway, it was the order of His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff to protect this master to return safely.
Nogi Shin summoned Major General and wanted to show off his skills. Suddenly, a voice came from the earphone, "Your Excellency Commander, I am the captain of the Fourth Fighter Wing escorting the ship, we were intercepted by the carrier-based aircraft group of China, the enemy is about one wing, the attack is very fierce, more than 20 bombers have been shot down, come to support!" ”
Nogi was shocked, does the person still have a backhand? He had to admire the courage and wisdom of the air commander of China, and fought more with less, with the aim of entangling his main fighter group, creating an opportunity for the follow-up fighters to strike at his own bomber group.
However, when he heard that the number of carrier-based aircraft in China was not large, Nogi did not worry too much, but in his heart, a fierce flame was aroused, "The people of China are only worthy of playing these small tricks, in the face of absolute strength, all the strategies of Qiē will come to naught" He ordered: "The first and second wings, responsible for annihilating the Shina fighters, and the third and fifth wings, rush to support the fourth wing." ”
The Second Carrier-based Aircraft Flying Regiment of the Independent Division Fleet made a sortie 30 minutes later than Tang Yunfei's formation, and at a distance of more than 300 kilometers west of Bangkok, it happened to intercept a group of Japanese bombers and escort a wing of Japanese fighters.
Xiao Xinhe ordered: "The first brigade, follow me to meet the Japanese escort fighter group, the second and third brigades, attack the bomber group of the little devils, this is the comrades-in-arms of the first regiment, create the best opportunity for us to kill the most little devil bombers in the shortest time, as long as we still have one person, we must not let the little devil's bombers take a step forward and attack!" ”
As soon as the second regiment came up, it took out a desperate posture, Xiao Xinhe adopted the same tactics as Tang Yunfei, with a small number of fighters, to contain the Japanese escort fighters, most of the fighters, attacking the Japanese bombers, this is the biggest threat to the fleet, only by solving the bombers of the little devils, the safety of the fleet can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.
The fierce battle immediately began, and the 4th Fighter Wing of the Japanese 7th Air Force, which was escorting, was suddenly blinded by the 1st Brigade of the 2nd Carrier-based Aircraft Regiment of the Fleet, and the 1st Brigade's 20 carrier-based planes, like a sharp axe, cut the Japanese 4th Fighter Wing into two halves.
All of a sudden, the formation of the Japanese fighters was disrupted, and by the time the Japanese wing commander reacted, seven or eight fighters had already been shot down in his own wing, and what was even worse was that the bomber group that had lost the fighter escort had more than 20 of them planted into the sea with black smoke in the blink of an eye, and the Japanese wing captain trembled, what kind of opponent was this?
More than 20 carrier-based planes dared to go on a rampage in a group of fighter planes planted in a wing, and his own pilots were obviously not his opponents, and if this continued, the losses of the bomber group would be great, and he could not bear such responsibility, so he immediately called the commander of the formation, Major General Nogi Shinzhao.
In the Andaman Sea, in the headquarters of the flagship "Canglang", the commander of the fleet, Tang Qiuquan, was driving at full speed to the independent division fleet of Mawlamyine, his face was grim and motionless, looking out of the porthole, the blue water, he had never smoked, he made an exception with a cigarette roll in his hand, took a hard breath, and was choked and coughed loudly.
The loudspeaker in the command headquarters showed the fierce situation of the air battle, "Chief of Staff, I killed the two little devils!" Even if it's death, it's enough! "Zero 73, evade immediately, there is a dog behind you!" "Captain, I can't do it, take out a few more little devil fighters for me and avenge me!" "Chief of Staff, there are four dogs chasing you behind, immediately move closer to our crew!"
"All the first regiment should pay attention, the Japanese machine will divide the troops, and the second brigade will go forward to intercept it, so be sure to entangle!" This was a loud "boom" in Tang Yunfei's already hoarse voice, and it was a fighter jet that exploded in the air.
The "click" sound of the machine gun, the whistling of the plane, the cursing and shouting of the pilots, all kinds of sounds were intertwined, and they were noisy in the loudspeaker, and Xin Xiguo, chief of staff of the fleet, carefully found that with the loud noise, the commander's eyes suddenly closed, and the cigarette in his hand was crushed into pieces.
Xin Xiguo walked to Tang Qiuquan's side lightly and said, "Commander, do you want to ask Tang Yunfei and Xiao Xinhe, how is the situation of the air battle, and the fleet is preparing early?" Tang Qiuquan shook his head, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Don't ask, don't distract their minds when it's critical, I believe in our pilots." ”
Qiuquan understands in his own heart, do you still need to ask? The air battle must have been extremely tragic, and his heart suddenly tightened, "Yunfei, you have to take care!" ”
Tang Yunfei's fighter plane was already scarred, and when he shot down the sixth Japanese fighter jet, he had already noticed that a fighter with a livery that was obviously different from other Japanese fighters was always hovering outside the battlefield, and there were four Japanese fighter planes, protecting them inch by inch, "Then the commander of the air formation of the Japanese army, capture the thief and capture the king first, if you want to find a way to kill this guy, there are four bodyguards, there is no chance?" ”
Fifteen fighters of the first regiment have been shot down, and the fighters of a wing of the Japanese army have left the battlefield and are flying towards the airspace of the second regiment's interception.
