Chapter 264: Air Combat
"Hey, be careful, enemy aircraft are spotted at nine o'clock!" Andrei, a radioman who had been silent, suddenly reminded loudly. Sure enough, on their right flank, two Japanese planes were rapidly approaching.
Li Mingyi exclaimed in surprise and shouted: "It's not good, it's a Japanese Type 95 fighter, Bichaev, turn around quickly, we are not opponents!" ”
The bomber has a large bomb load and a strong endurance, but it is relatively clumsy, and the aerial dogfight is certainly not an opponent for fighters, not to mention that the opponent is still two. As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat four hands, so it can only be thirty-six strategies.
"Don't worry, the Japanese monkeys can't catch up with us!" Bichaev deftly escaped the pursuit of the Japanese planes with a pull on the rudder, and then pulled up sharply, quickly widening the distance between him and the enemy planes. Before leaving, he proudly shouted with a radio rusher: "Aha, Japanese monkey, come and lick my ass!" ”
The Japanese pilot took a look at the wreckage of the train that was still burning and shouted: "Yaga, hateful Shina, I must destroy you!" As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, increased the throttle, and desperately chased towards the west. However, the difference in the performance of the aircraft was too great to make up for it, not to mention that his skills were not as good as Bichaev's, and he could only watch the arrogant SB bomber fly farther and farther.
"Damn, I can't catch up!" The Japanese crew slapped the cockpit in annoyance, but there was nothing they could do but to return to the ship in a huff and report the attack on the military column to their superiors.
Minquan County, Henan, Headquarters of the 16th Division.
"What? The military column is under attack! The commander of the 16th Division, Lieutenant General Nakajima Imasa, grabbed the intelligence officer's collar and shouted angrily: "There is a kind of you saying it again! ”
The intelligence officer turned pale with fright. "Your Excellency, that's the truth! ”
"Humph!" Nakajima threw the unlucky guy on the ground and scolded angrily: "Nakazawa-kun, you go and investigate this matter immediately, and you have to find out thoroughly!" ”
Chief of Staff Nakazawa Sanfu Dazuo hurriedly bowed his head and said, "Hai, Your Excellency! ”
Seeing that he hadn't left, Nakajima glared at him viciously and scolded, "Why don't you go quickly, what are you doing here?" ”
Nakazawa hurriedly said: "Your Excellency, division commander, the military column is carrying urgently needed supplies for the front line. I'm worried about ......"
"I got it. You go first, I have my own arrangements for this matter! Nakajima suddenly felt a terrible headache and waved his hand to tell Mio Nakazawa to get out of the way first.
Nakazawa didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly left.
Wait for Chief of Staff Nakazawa to leave. Nakajima rubbed his head. Pick up the phone on the table. He said, "Hey, I'm Nakajima Imasao, and I'll contact the 10th Division right away." Let's just say that I agreed to their request. ”
Putting down the phone, Nakajima still felt a fire in his heart, and scolded angrily: "Isoya, this bastard, picking up such a big credit for nothing, I'm afraid that my mouth will smile crookedly." Hmph, what a damn one! ”
Qi County, Headquarters of the 10th Division. The commander of the division, Lieutenant General Ryosuke Isoya, suddenly sneezed. Chief of Staff Atsuro Umemura said with concern: "Your Excellency, do you have a cold?" I'm going to call the medic right away! ”
Isoya waved his hand and said, "No, let's invite a few wing captains!" We must rescue the 14th Division as soon as possible, and then drag on like this......"
As he was talking, a staff officer in charge of communications strode over, bowed his head and saluted: "Your Excellency, the 16th Division has sent an urgent telegram!" ”
Isoya sneered: "It's definitely afraid that we will cross the line, it's really a stingy Nakajima, and he won't give us any credit!" ”
Mei Cun took the telegram and opened it, and suddenly said in surprise: "Ha, Your Excellency the division commander, our opportunity has come!" As he spoke, he handed the telegram to Ryosuke Isoya.
Isoya hurriedly took the telegram, glanced at it a few times, and said happily, "God bless!" He thought for a moment, and then said: "Umemura-kun, the 16th Division was held back by logistics to give us a chance. We can't repeat the mistakes of the past, and the next logistical supply work will be arranged by you personally, and you must not give the people of China a chance to take advantage of it! ”
Mei Cun frowned, seemed to be a little embarrassed, and said, "Your Excellency, I'm afraid this needs the support of Lu Hang." ”
Isoya said confidently: "Don't worry, in this situation, Lu Airlines will not dare not support us!" Whoever drops the chain will bear the consequences! ”
Mei Cun suddenly realized, with an excited look on his face, and hurriedly ran to the communications department to contact Lu Hang, asking them to give them "tactical guidance".
Sanyiji direction, 97 Army headquarters. Chief of Staff Zhou took a telegram, stood up suddenly, and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have great news for you - just now, the Japanese army's supply train has been completely destroyed by our air force!" ”
"Long live the Air Force, down with Japanese imperialism!" The officers in the command immediately cheered.
Duan Shuanghu said excitedly: "Senza, in this case, are we going to fight a counterattack and completely defeat the vanguard of the enemy's aid!" ”
Chief of Staff Zhou said embarrassedly: "Well, I'm afraid this is not the right time. ”
Duan Shuanghu was stunned for a moment, and wondered, "Why is this?" ”
Chief of Staff Zhou said angrily: "You only have the 16th Division in your eyes, what about the 10th Division in the south?" ”
Duan Shuanghu said with a big grin: "Blow it up again!" ”
Chief of Staff Zhou sighed and said, "How can it be so simple, let's see if the plan of the military seat can be successful!" ”
Qi County, Persimmon Yuan Township. A large convoy is slowly advancing. There are armored vehicles for combat, passenger cars for officers, trucks for transporting troops and goods, and tractors for pulling artillery, all in all.
Backbite! An officer passenger car suddenly stopped on the side of the road. An officer opened the door, got out of the passenger seat, and busily opened the back door.
"Your Excellency, this place is called Persimmon Yuan Township, and in front of it is Yangqi Township, which is a strategic point south of Lanfeng County."
"Yo Si! Let the troops drip quickly, and strive to join the 16th Division before it gets dark today. ”
"Hello!"
Whining...... There was a strange sound in the air. The soldiers all looked up at the sky, but they saw nothing. Suddenly, several black dots appeared in everyone's field of vision, and they were getting bigger and bigger.
"Enemy attack! It's a plane of the Chinese people! ”
"Watch out for air defense!"
"Hide!"
"Evacuate! Hide under the carriage! ”
……
Don't look at the fact that the Japanese army has a lot of combat experience. But they were rarely raided, so they quickly became a mess. Only the brigade commander who led the team, Major General Se Wuping, looked coldly at the sky, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.
The commander of the 39th Wing, Numata Takazo Osa, could not suppress the excitement in his heart, and said excitedly: "Your Excellency, the air force of the people of China has taken the bait!" ”
Whining...... Several SB bombers began to dive, and they saw that they were about to rush over the convoy. Suddenly, a large number of Japanese fighters painted with bright red suns suddenly burst out from the south and east. The most terrible thing is that the latest Nakajima Type 97 fighter is impressively listed!
"Oh, damn it, this is a fucking trap!"
"Retreat. Fast! ”
……
The Russian pilot screamed. They scrambled to flee in a northwesterly direction.
"Don't you think it's too late to run now?" Kiji Tamon, the ace pilot of the Japanese army, sneered.
"Don't leave if you come, leave me behind!" Another ace pilot, Shigeya Okamoto, smirked and chased after the bombers.
The Type 97 was not a particularly good model, and some people mocked that it had fallen into an outdated tactical thinking from the time of its design. I simply did not see the development trend of cutting-edge fighters in the world.
But the Type 97 fighter is not useless. Opposite. With a maximum speed of 460 km/h, it is extremely sporty and embodies the circling tactics that the Japanese Army has always demanded. It was the number one enemy of the Chinese Air Force at that time!
"Hold down the people of China, don't let them climb!" While pursuing, the Japanese captain gave orders to his subordinates.
Compared with the SB bomber, the biggest flaw of the Type 97 is the ceiling. This kind of small aircraft can reach a very excellent flight level below 5000 meters, but the performance will drop sharply beyond this altitude, so in history, SB bombers often hide at an altitude of 7000 meters to drop bombs, and the Type 97 can only stare dryly below.
Da Da Da ...... Dense bullets intertwined to form a huge barrage. The SB bomber group had done its best, but still could not get away from the pursuit of the Japanese aircraft.
"Ivan! The Japanese monkeys are catching up, what should we do? Bichaev shouted anxiously.
"Raised by a bitch, let's fight with them!" Chased by the little devil like a rabbit, a hairy bear finally got angry.
"Hey, calm down, brethren!"
"It's going to be over, how can we calm down!"
"Listen to me!" Captain Ivan finally spoke, and he said calmly: "Don't leave the group, there is a cemetery of Japanese monkeys in front of you." ”
Several SB bombers suddenly dropped in altitude and flew past a piece of high ground. The Japanese machine behind chased after him and rushed over. One of the pilots also shouted over the radio: "Die, Shina!" ”
Boom Boom Boom ...... At this moment, a burst of fierce artillery fire suddenly sounded on the high ground in front and on the hills on both flanks. Four large-caliber anti-aircraft guns, 16 20-mm anti-aircraft guns, and a large number of light and heavy machine guns were fired at the same time. A dense rain of bullets rained down on the fleet like a net.
"Oh my God!" Before Kiji Tamon could exclaim, he was blown to pieces by a cannonball. He was not the only one, but several planes in front and behind, left and right were planted with black smoke, and several planes were actually volleyed into disintegration by ferocious firepower.
Of course, there was always something that the anti-aircraft artillery could not take care of, and the few surviving Japanese planes were terrified and turned around and fled eastward. However, a large group of planes suddenly appeared in the eastern sky, all of which were newly arrived I-15 and I-16 fighter jets.
"Ha, baby, it's finally time for you!" Captain Vladimir shouted excitedly.
"Stay, Japanese monkeys, grandpa invites you to eat bananas!" Another furry bear also screamed and pounced from the flank.
The remaining Japanese pilots were frightened and only cared about fleeing for their lives, and had no intention of fighting again, and as a result, they soon fell into a desperate situation of being surrounded and killed.
Rumble! Another Japanese plane fell in black smoke.
"Long live the Air Force! Banzai! The soldiers of the ground forces were so excited that they went out of the fortifications to refuel the air force in spite of the dangers, and cheered loudly every time they shot down a Japanese plane, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
Long Lixing, the commander of the air defense regiment, shouted excitedly on the phone: "Military seat, it's done!" (To be continued......)
PS: Ha, the collection has risen again, is it going to be over three thousand?
