Chapter 262: Air Raid Brigade (Medium)
"Cut, what kind of ability is it to bully those who can't fight back?" , Liu Zhesheng, who was preempted, muttered sourly, but at this time, he saw a devil plane that was successfully pulled up by luck and slammed into the dozens of bombers of the First Division that were about to bomb Lushun Airport, and immediately saw Hunter Xin and said, "The deal has come to the door!" ”
Although bombers are not opponents of fighters in aerial combat, their huge fuselage also makes them have stronger resistance to strikes than fighters, and the 7.7mm aviation machine gun fire of Japanese planes is too weak. And in such a short period of time, an entire squadron of enemy fighters had already pounced, and Liu Zhesheng had already stared at him.
"Look at me!" After locking onto the target with the halo of the sight, Liu Zhesheng decisively pressed the firing button of the aviation machine gun on the control stick, and the two 7.7mm aviation machine guns suddenly spat out a long tongue of fire, hitting the tail of the enemy plane. Although due to time constraints, Liu Zhesheng's plane did not have time to replace the 7.7mm aviation machine gun with a 20mm cannon (equipped with a combat fighter, and the "hit and go" model was equipped with a more powerful and long-range 30mm cannon, and the ammunition was not solid but armor-piercing, incendiary or armor-piercing incendiary). But the fighter was far less durable than the bomber, especially the devil's fighter was even thinner, and the tail was immediately broken by a machine gun bullet, and the plane suddenly lost its balance, although the devil pilot tried his best to pull it up. But after all, he still fell headlong into the sea
"This gyroscopic sight is so easy to use." As soon as Liu Zhesheng, who had succeeded in the first blow, let out a sigh of emotion, he saw that Le Yiqin shot down two more enemy planes that were trying to pull them up, and he was anxious when he boarded, and rushed down to shoot wildly at the planes that had not yet been destroyed at the airport
These cutting-edge pilots have achieved a lot of successes, and Pokryshkin and other veteran aces who have long been famous are even more invincible, but they shoot down and destroy the most enemy planes. But it is still Zhong Ming, a non-mainstream trump card, because this battle is basically bullying enemy planes at the airport or just taking off, he can unscrupulously close the distance and aim and fire. The plane's new gyroscopic sights added to his already superb marksmanship, which could destroy or shoot down an enemy aircraft in almost every string (three) of cannon shells, but for the limited number of shells he carried. If he doesn't know how to kill more than twenty enemy planes in this battle
As a fortress and military port operated by the Japanese army for many years, Lushunkou's air defense capability should not be underestimated, but Hu Weidong, a super-first-class artillery expert, has long conducted a special analysis of the various types of air defense weapons equipped by the Japanese army, and summed up a set of effective targeted tactics according to their weaknesses
Although Japan was unable to develop a proximity fuse until its defeat in the war, the Devil's large-caliber anti-aircraft guns still achieved certain results, except for direct hits with a probability small to a certain extent, relying mainly on timing and altitude fuses. However, both fuses need to determine the parameters of the shell before shelling, which seriously affects the first reaction speed of the anti-aircraft gun, so the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns of the devil have always performed poorly in the event of a sneak attack. And whether it's timing, or fixing height. As long as the enemy aircraft constantly changes speed and direction, the anti-aircraft gunner will not be able to determine the parameters at all (because the hit rate of the high-altitude bombing of horizontal bombers is too low, and in actual combat, it is often necessary to fly in formation at a constant speed to reduce the error of bombing, so the fixed altitude fuse still has some effect.) ), and only shoot intuitively. And how high can it be?
Therefore, Hu Weidong specifically requested that in this battle, except for the 24 Type 97 heavy bombers that could only carry out horizontal bombing missions and the 36 Mitsubishi Type 96 land medium attack planes carrying torpedo attack ships, the rest of the bombers were mainly dive bombing, so the changes in altitude and speed were far greater than horizontal bombing, which greatly reduced the hit rate of the Japanese large-caliber antiaircraft guns, and after the dive bombing solved the devil's (ship-based) anti-aircraft fire, the horizontal bombers and torpedo bombers were put on again. Not only is the security greatly improved, but the hit rate is also greatly improved because the attack distance can be safely shortened
As for the devil's small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, not to mention their rate of fire, their rate of fire is extremely painful, and if the hard wounds that cannot be solved by the fact that the firing range is too short are used well, their air defense effect can be greatly weakened. Therefore, Hu Weidong pointed out that the limited bombers of the North China Air Corps should be used as intensively as possible, so that the enemy air defense fire faced at the same time would be minimal, because the devil's small-caliber antiaircraft guns that were a little farther away would probably not be able to reach them, let alone the antiaircraft machine guns with a shorter range. At the same time, concentrated bombers can also form a numerical superiority in a local area, which not only improves the efficiency of bombing, but also greatly disperses the enemy's already limited anti-aircraft firepower in a local area and reduces casualties on its own side. For this reason, Hu Weidong made a special request that even the bombers that had lost all their bombs still dive with their comrades in order to disperse the enemy's firepower, and as a result, the antiaircraft gunners and antiaircraft machine gunners of the devils were really dazzled by at least twenty or thirty enemy planes, and they were unable to concentrate fire on the attack in a hurry, and the losses of the bombers of the North China Air Corps were far less than everyone expected before the war
However, although the enemy's resistance is not strong, but when the North China Air Corps killed over Lushun, more than half of the planes at Lushun Airport were still in the underground hangar (they were really afraid of being bombed), and now they are difficult to beat, and those planes will not be sent out to die, Gao Zhihang, who is in charge of Lushun, was annoyed when he saw this, but he couldn't find out those hidden devil planes, so he had to sprinkle fire on the four aircraft carriers in Lushun Military Port, although due to the relatively few actual combat opportunities, The bomber pilots of the 1st Flying Division were not as good in military quality as the fighter pilots, but they were more than enough to deal with warships anchored in the harbor that had not yet started
The two heavy aircraft carriers, the Akagi and the Kaga, which were large and strangely shaped, and were extremely conspicuous from the air, were the first to be attacked, and with the terrifying screams of the bombers when they dived, one after another high-explosive bombs fell on the flight decks of the two ships, and in the incessant explosions, the two huge ships with a displacement of as much as 30,000 tons quickly turned into two burning iron coffins, almost completely losing their combat capability, and the torpedo bombers then fell down and fired several torpedoes at each of them. Although the remaining devil officers and soldiers on the two ships tried their best to rescue them, the two aircraft carriers, which are perhaps the largest tonnage on the Shijie at present, eventually sank to the bottom of the sea.
