"Boom"

With a loud bang, under the horrified gaze of Honda Daisa, an Imperial-made Zero fighter disintegrated in the air, and the pilot didn't even have a chance to parachute out.

At a glimpse just now, Honda Osa vaguely saw the words "16" on the fuselage of the dismantled fighter. As the commander of the Yamato Condor Air Force, Honda Osa is extremely familiar with the numbers and pilots of all fighters in the entire air force, and the No. 16 fighter is the command aircraft of the second squadron, and its owner is Shinto Saburo Shaosa.

Shinto Shaosayu shattered, Honda Osa couldn't believe his eyes, how could this be possible. It is important to know that Shinto Shaosa was one of the best pilots in the Empire, and he flew the Type 97, 96 and Zero fighters in a total of 21 air battles, shooting down a total of 22 Shina fighters. Yesterday alone, he shot down 4 China fighters, only one less than himself.

However, this was only the beginning, and there were several loud "booms", several fighters around Honda Dazuo burst at the same time, and the pilot also had no chance to escape, and they were blown to pieces along with the fighters!

Suddenly, Honda Osa felt a palpitation, and he didn't have time to think about it after participating in many air battles, so he hurriedly pulled the fighter low, and then quickly made a turn. After the palpitations disappeared, Honda Osa found that the wingman who was following him was injured at some point, the left wing was directly knocked off, and the fighter staggered and fell, and the Ichina fighter followed closely behind, and seemed unwilling to let it fall like this.

Honda Osa hurriedly turned around, aimed the muzzle of the fighter machine gun at the Shina fighter numbered 03, and pressed the fire button in his right hand suddenly.

"Da Da Da"

The 20mm cannon poured bullets at the Chinese fighters. The corners of Honda's mouth rose, with the power of the 20mm cannon of the Zero fighter, no fighter can dodge it at such a close distance, and neither can God.

However, the corners of Honda's mouth could only be raised to 30 degrees, and then directly turned into an "O" shape, and the horror was beyond words. It's unbelievable that the Chinese fighter plane actually dodged, how did they do it.

Ma Yun was very angry, just now in order to pursue a Japanese injured plane, he almost let a reptile sneak attack. But fortunately, the J-6 fighter he flew was fast enough. Otherwise, now he really became a roast chicken, and the most important thing is that he almost became the first new fighter plane to be shot down, and he can't afford to lose this person.

The furious Ma Yun immediately accelerated and quickly got rid of the hateful Japanese fighter. Then quickly turn the fuselage. Lock the Japanese fighter with the number 04. With his right hand, he pressed the firing button, and two 37mm cannon shells quickly rushed towards the Japanese fighter.

However, to Ma Yun's frustration, the Japanese fighter plane was lucky enough to escape. I have to say that the Japanese pilot is really good, and he can even dodge it in such a situation, if he is really inferior to the Japanese pilot in terms of combat skills alone. But Ma Yun is not discouraged, he knows how powerful the car under him is, the Japanese pilot can dodge once, he doesn't believe that he can dodge the second and third times!

As for the new fighter of the Japanese army, they have specially listened to the commander explain it, and compared with the combat aircraft in service in other countries, it is indeed very powerful. It can be said to be a milestone in Japanese aircraft design, and it achieved several firsts, such as the first fully enclosed retractable landing gear, electric thermal flight suits, machine guns, constant speed propellers, ultra-duralumin load-bearing structure, large vision cockpit, and disposable large auxiliary fuel tanks.

The Zero fighter uses a 950-horsepower Nakajima Sakae 12-star air-cooled engine, with a speed of 533 kilometers per hour, a terrifying ceiling of 10,000 meters, and a maximum range of 3,000 kilometers.

According to the commander, the Japanese Zero fighter seems to be powerful, but in fact it is a scum. In addition to the climb rate and turning radius, the other performances are not worth mentioning at all, and there are many problems, which can also take advantage of the grappling at low altitudes. However, at high altitude, the Zero's excellent vertical maneuverability begins to deteriorate due to sluggish movement of the ailerons and slowed down reactions. In addition, because the Nakajima Sakae 12-star air-cooled engine used by the Zero adopts the design of a floating carburetor, it is easy to cause the engine to stall when diving at high speed, so the dive speed of the Zero is not fast, and if it is bitten by the Zero in battle, it immediately dives and rolls at high speed, and it can usually be removed. In addition, the Zero did not have any armor to protect the pilot and the fuel tank, and the fuel tank did not have a self-sealing device and fire extinguishing equipment, so it was easy to be hit and caught fire, it was simply an "air lighter".

Therefore, the new fighters of the Japanese army can also be compared with the fighters in service in the United States and the Soviet Union, and compared with the fighters named Huaxia Jian-5 and Jian-6 piloted by the pilots of the Northern Air Force, they are far behind, and they have been thrown out of the country more than a few streets.

Not to mention the superior performance of the J-6, take the J-5 as an example, this fighter is a completely different jet aircraft from the Zero War, the J-5 fighter adopts a single-seat, single-engine, nose intake, swept mid-wing layout. It adopts a turbojet-5 centrifugal afterburner turbojet engine with a static thrust of 2,600 kg and an afterburner thrust of 3,380 kg. The maximum level flight speed reaches 1145km/h, even the cruising speed can reach 800km/h, the ceiling is 16000m, the range is 1560km (with auxiliary fuel tank), 1020 kilometers (without auxiliary fuel tank), and the endurance time is 2 hours and 50 minutes.

In comparison, the maximum level flight speed of the Japanese Zero fighter is only 518 kilometers, and the cruising speed is only 300 kilometers, and the ceiling that the Japanese army is proud of is only 10,000 meters, which is why the Northern Air Force can calmly set up an ambush over the lower garden, and the J-5 team at an altitude of 16,000 meters is not at all found by the Japanese Air Force at an altitude of 10,000 meters. The Japanese army's zero battle can also be compared with the J-5 in range.

The internal structure of the other two fighters is also not comparable, and the onboard equipment of the J-5 fighter includes an ultra-short-wave command station, a radio compass, a radio altimeter, a beacon receiver, a friend or foe identifier, a tail protector, a rangefinder, etc. The wing is a swept mid-monoplane, and the ailerons have a deflection angle of ±18 degrees.

The Japanese Zero fighter is far behind, taking the most important fire system of the fighter as an example, the Zero fighter only has 2 20mm cannons, 2 7.7mm machine guns, and 2 60kg bombs. As for the J-5 fighter, not only two Type 23-1 23mm cannons are installed under the left side of the nose, but also a Type 31 37mm cannon is installed under the right side of the nose. The muzzle velocity of the 23-1 cannon is 680 m/s, and the rate of fire is 800 rounds per minute, and the firepower is not comparable to that of the Zero fighter at all.

This is just the J-5, compared to the J-5, the J-6 is even more powerful. The J-5 is just a subsonic aircraft, but the J-6 is a supersonic aircraft, with a super speed of 1,500 kilometers per hour that is enough to overshadow any kind of fighter in the world now, so it is not a piece of cake to deal with the Japanese Zero fighter.

This is not a war, but a one-sided slaughter, in the face of the difference of nearly 20 years in the level of science and technology, the resistance of the Japanese army seems pale and powerless, in the next hour the Japanese really saw the combat effectiveness of the Northern Air Force, in order to achieve the fatal effect of one blow, Chen Feng sent out two-thirds of the new fighters in his hands, which is more than 290 fighters.

Less than 15 minutes after the battle began, Honda Dazuo realized that something was wrong, the two sides were not opponents at all, so he decisively gave the order to retreat, but in front of subsonic and supersonic fighters, this kind of thing of the Japanese army, which was only 600 kilometers per hour, did not even have a chance to escape.

An hour later, more than 320 of the nearly 400 Japanese fighters were shot down and 36 were damaged, and less than 30 escaped to the Beiping and Baoding airfields intact, while none of the Zero fighters, which the Japanese army was proud of, escaped back. Although the performance of the Zero fighter far exceeded that of the 95 Type 97, who made them too arrogant, so all the Chinese pilots in this battle gave priority to them, so in less than 40 minutes after the start of the war, all 88 Zero fighters were shot down, and all the Japanese flying elites, including Honda Daisa, were killed, and none survived. The Japanese army's proud Yamato Condor team was wiped out and fell in the sky over the lower garden!

The Japanese fighters fighting in the north were almost wiped out, but Chen Feng did not stop there, and with a stroke of his pen, all the fighters at the airports in Xinghe, Zhangjiakou, and Datong, regardless of the old and new, took off and went to the front line and the ports and airfields in the Pingjin area to carry out retaliatory bombing.

Today is the day of the Air Force, on this day the Northern Air Force took off 3,000 sorties, consumed more than 20,000 tons of ammunition, more than 5,000 tons of fuel, of course, the results of the battle are also quite brilliant, not to mention the bombed Tianjin Port and Beiping Nanyuan Airport, Baoding Airport, Shimen Airport, etc., let's just say that with the cooperation of the Air Force, the army on the front line of Xiahuayuan captured Xiahuayuan with an absolutely crushing posture, and the army on the side of Zhulu also wiped out all the remnants of the enemy in the city, and the two troops marched together and swooped towards Beiping.

And the battle in the direction of Xinkou is also going smoothly, Jingle and Xinkou's originally strong defense line was crumbling, and there were several fatal flaws in between, creating conditions for the next battle.

The battle in the direction of Chengde was also good, when the 61st Group Army launched an offensive, the guerrillas of the Eighth Route Army in eastern Hebei and the troops left behind in eastern Hebei in the Eighth Theater took the opportunity to launch a riot, and in just a few days, the Japanese puppet army in eastern Hebei was driven into the county seat and important strongholds, and did not dare to go out of the city to fight, as long as the 61st Group Army could capture Chengde, then it would definitely be able to recover the entire Rehe and eastern Hebei in a very short time.
