Chapter 475: The Bombing of Tokyo (Part II)
PS: Thank you for the reward of the book friend "Long Xinyue", and ask for a recommendation vote ^_^ by the way
The early model of the H-1 is a single-engine light bomber, the size is not very large, when it flies at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, it is difficult for people on the ground to distinguish it with the naked eye alone, even if a keen eye notices, it will be mistaken for Japan's own aircraft because it did not attack, especially after these six H-1 penetrated deep into Japan's airspace.
After the 22-year-old squadron leader Lu Liping flew over the Seto Inland Sea, he soon saw a rather large urban area, and immediately lifted his spirits and said, "Osaka should be below, then Tokyo is not far away, comrades cheer up and prepare for battle." ”
"Captain, I heard that Osaka is the economic center of Japan, or let's drop the bomb here, let's go back to sleep early, I flew for more than two hours in a row, and I was exhausted." , someone yawning came from the headphones connected to the on-board radio.
"Shut up! The chief's lax control of the Air Force is because he understands that our pilots are under great mental pressure, and he does not let you bargain for combat missions! Lu Liping immediately reprimanded when he heard this, feeling somewhat helpless, this mission is difficult and cannot be missed, so the pilot's jishu strength is put in the first place, and his personal character has become relatively secondary, as long as there are no serious problems, as a result, the old pilots on the original Kuomintang side are naturally reused, but although these guys have relatively rich flying experience, most of them have some bad problems developed in the old army, Nor is it as hard-working as the backbone of the fighters sent by the field troops for training. It is really not an easy task for a young commander to manage them well!
There is no way to do this situation, after all, pilots are a scarce resource in today's China, so many times they have to be accommodated. Relatively speaking, the situation of fighter pilots is much better, because the combat backbone of the army can become qualified pilots in a year or even less time of surprise training, although the flight jishu is often not as good as the formal way of training, but they have been trained in a hundred battles to make a decision on the plane, the will to fight and the premonition of crisis are incomparable to the pilots trained step by step in the aviation school, not to mention that there are many marksmen like Zhong Ming among these people, which is also a very important quality for fighter pilots.
Relatively speaking. Bomber pilots and bombardiers and other crew members have higher requirements for flying jishu and experience. There is no quick way, so at present, the uprising and defectors of the national army are still dominated by the personnel of the uprising (the instructors and students of the Amaranth Bridge Aviation School also belong to this category), so the problem of military discipline is relatively much greater. Fortunately, no matter what, everyone is sincere in resisting Japan. Therefore, in line with the consideration of employing people's strengths. Hu Weidong still dared to entrust them with important tasks. Anyway, with a large number of returned overseas Chinese young people entering aviation schools for training, and the bomber cadets who participated in aviation schools in the early days are about to graduate one after another, this situation will not last long
Although he was worried about the soldiers and thorns in the team, Lu Liping still led this improvised bomber squadron to fly all the way to the outskirts of Tokyo. However, after all, Tokyo is the capital of Japan, and its defense is relatively much tighter, so it happened that a group of Japanese fighters patrolled by, and it was immediately seen that this group of bombers was not a model made in Japan, and the leader of the devil squadron immediately asked the number of the bomber squadron through the airborne radio, and asked to check the password, and at the same time immediately reported the matter to the ground.
"Don't answer, pull it all up, be quick!" , Lu Liping hurriedly ordered, although he was very confident in the performance of the H-1, but if the devil's fighter was entangled, it would still be very troublesome.
"Cut, if it weren't for the fact that he didn't bring shells this time, Lao Tzu would have been able to kill them all, and even if our bombers were used as fighters, they wouldn't be able to deal with the devil's rotten goods." , Liu Shanben disdainful in his mouth, but not slow at all, the second pilot plane pulled up and climbed quickly towards the sky, showing his excellent flight jishu
"Damn, what kind of planes are these, how can they be so fast?" , The Devil Squadron Leader was shocked, he even pressed the water spray afterburner switch in a hurry, but he still couldn't close the distance between himself and the enemy plane, and he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart.
"Could it be that the Chinese have developed new weapons?" , one of the pilots wondered.
"You red deer, with the inferior jishu of the Chinese, how can you develop such a powerful aircraft?" , a megalomaniac immediately retorted.
The scolded pilot immediately shot back, "You are the red deer!" Have there been fewer new weapons developed by the Chinese in recent years? ”
Hearing the noise of his subordinates, the already upset and irritable devil squadron leader Dengshi was furious and said, "Shut up for me, turn the horsepower to the maximum, even if the engine burns out, kill them!" ”
"What's going on? Obviously the altitude is already more than 8,000 meters, why are they faster? ", one of the pilots screamed in dismay.
"It's not that they're fast, it's that our planes are slow, and the Chinese seem to have mastered some kind of jishu that can greatly improve the high-altitude performance of the aircraft, and we have suffered a lot of losses on the Chinese battlefield." The leader of the devil squadron, who had fought against the Chinese Air Force many times on the battlefield of aggression against China, corrected him, and sighed helplessly after speaking, "The high-altitude performance of the enemy aircraft is much stronger than ours, and the climbing speed is also terrifyingly fast, so I can only ask the anti-aircraft artillery on the ground for help."
At this time, the Japanese 1st Antiaircraft Artillery Division, which had just been formed not long ago, was already ready for battle, and although the artillery sighting radar provided by the Americans could not directly guide the antiaircraft artillery, its role was beyond doubt at a time when enemy planes were flying too high and were difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. Compared with optical observation instruments, the radar has a much wider field of vision, and the large-caliber anti-aircraft guns attack enemy aircraft by covering an airspace through a barrage, so the accuracy of point fire is relatively low, so with the artillery sighting radar, the Japanese anti-aircraft gunners quickly became accustomed to shelling directly according to the information provided by the radar, but during this battle, there were big problems
"Are you crazy? Weishenme is going to shoot at us! The squadron leader of the devil, who couldn't believe his eyes, said angrily, just now a round of artillery bombardment on the ground didn't even touch the side of the enemy plane, but shot down or damaged a whole 5 fighters under his command (although the Japanese large-caliber anti-aircraft guns were ineffective because they did not have the help of proximity fuses, but those Japanese pilots were unprepared for the ground anti-aircraft artillery fire, and the formation was also conducive to fighting and approached relatively close, and the result was tragic) (to be continued......)
