005 Air Combat Master and Apprentice
Fu Guoqiang looked at Chennault after speaking. Chennault was his teacher, and the two were friends, and he knew that Fu Guoqiang had always been crazy in doing things, but he didn't expect to be so bold.
It kind of whetted his desire to fight. He shrugged and smiled, "Why not?" ”
With that, the two of them changed into flight jackets and walked to their planes. Fu Guoqiang flew a domestically produced "Lightning" fighter, while Chennault flew the P-50 brought by the United States.
To be honest, both of these fighters are currently lagging behind the new Japanese fighters in terms of performance, but the artists are bold, and in the eyes of Chennault and Fu Guoqiang, they go around the Japanese territory as easily as if they were in their own back garden.
"Hey, let Jack fill up my plane, I'm going to have a two-plane flight training with Colonel Fu." Chennault said to Jack, the mechanic over there.
Jack is actually a Chinese, his real name is Han Jieke, and when he introduced himself, the American boys of the United Air Force heard Jack, so Jack Jack's shouted like this.
Jack gave a thumbs up, signaling that he had already filled up the gas. Chennault smiled at him, this Jack is really unambiguous, whether it is training or combat, he always ensures that the more than 50 planes of the United Air Force are now in a state of full fuel so that they can take to the air at any time.
"Let's go, Fu, let's go to Little Japan and have a look." Chennault ran toward his car.
Both of them were military commanders, and they were on the territory of the United Air Force, so they didn't have to be bound by so much military discipline, and after changing into flight jackets, they took off in the afternoon sun.
The Blitzkrieg and the P-50 flew together, like two silver warhawks in the eyes of the afternoon.
"Teacher, which direction are we going?" Fu Guoqiang asked Chennault.
"Originally, I wanted to go to Myanmar for a while, but the sun is a bit dazzling at this time, so let's go west." Chennault said.
"Okay, let's fly east." After Fu Guoqiang finished speaking, they began to correct their course and began to fly east under the guidance of the ground tower.
The plane flew eastward, and the fuselage crossed the mountains and rivers of the Yunnan-Guizhou region, and the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland appeared in front of them.
"Teacher, the Japanese occupation area is ahead, should we go down to the height?" Fu Guoqiang asked over the radio.
"Yes, but I think we'd better stay at a certain height. I heard that the Japanese have recently developed new planes that are very fast, and I don't want to meet them today. Chennault said half-jokingly.
As soon as Chennault's words fell, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery on the ground opened fire, and the anti-aircraft shells exploded into black smoke rings around the plane, but fortunately they only swept over here, and the height was enough, so these Japanese anti-aircraft guns were not a threat to them.
But then they encountered a real threat. Because after the Japanese discovered these two fighters, three of the latest Zero fighters of the Japanese naval aviation stationed near the coast of Guangzhou scrambled into the air and pounced on them.
"Teacher, I think we're in trouble." Fu Guoqiang observed three Zero fighters coming straight at him, although the distance was still outside the range, but he was ready for battle.
Chennault over there had obviously noticed the three Zero fighters following behind, but his tone was obviously more witty, and he said to Fu Guoqiang: "Fu, I think we have a lot of trouble, remember what I taught you when I was in school?" ”
"Of course I remember the teacher, I never skipped school when I was in air combat class." Fu Guoqiang said confidently.
As the two spoke, three fighters were already trailing from behind. The Zero fighters were a little faster than the Lightning and P50, so the three Zeros quickly caught up.
At this moment, Chennault and Fu Guoqiang's two fighters suddenly threw off, like two disconnected arrows, flying towards both sides at an oblique angle.
At this moment, the Zero fighters that followed behind opened fire, and the 20-millimeter aircraft guns on board "Tata Tower" rang out, and a series of fire chains flashed under the clear sky with dense tracer shells and aerial artillery shells. However, these shells will be in vain, because they can't even catch the tail flame of the target.
Kobayashi Masakum, who served as the chief plane, was annoyed, you must know that the Zero fighter was sacrificed for the maneuverability of the bomb volume and the protection of the fuselage, and this time when he pressed it, the ammunition of the 20mm cannon went down by half, but the other party did not hurt a little fur. The most ammunition carried on the plane now is the 7.7 mm cannon.
The caliber of this cannon is too small, the firing range is too short, and it can only be regarded as a machine gun. It seems that they can no longer continue to fight over long distances, and they must get close to each other and give full play to their mobile advantages.
Kobayashi gave the order, and the two wingmen began to change their movements and swooped down on the two planes.
Kobayashi himself followed Chennault's plane, and he noticed that it was not an ordinary Chinese-made Blitz fighter, but an American P50, and with a shark and a picture of a beautiful woman painted on the fuselage, he was even more sure that the plane should be piloted by an American.
Kobayashi Zhengxiong's heart became excited. For the navy, their biggest target is naturally not the Chinese army, which even struggles to navigate inland waterways, but the US Navy on the other side of the ocean.
It's a pity that during the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, Kobayashi's unit was sent to Asia, and so far he has not been able to fight the American Air Force as he wished.
Chennault seemed to see through his thoughts, and he piloted the fighter plane to deliberately increase the distance in order to maintain the advantage in range, but Kobayashi did not make such an easy mistake, and the three Zeros formed a triangular battle formation and used their maneuverability to pounce on Chennault's plane.
And at this moment, another Chinese fighter that climbed upwards suddenly got rid of the tracking in a small radius arc and swooped down.
The opponent just turned defense into attack, changing his formation when encountering an attack, and then he could switch to an attack at any time.
Kobayashi Masaha felt that he was careless, because he clearly saw that on the attacking Chinese fighter, two rows of dense red stars were engraved under the cockpit of one fuselage.
He knew that it was caused by the Chinese pilots using to mark the number of enemy planes they shot down, and although he couldn't see the number of red stars on the opponent's fuselage, it seemed that he should be a dangerous guy!
"Okay, let's have a fight!"
Kobayashi began to climb as the Chinese fighter jet that had swooped down turned and opened fire on a Zero wingman.
The 20-mm cannon spat out two tongues of fire, and his wingman Kozaburo Tagi was immediately hit in the wing, and billowing smoke rose.
Fortunately, Tagi-kun had rich combat experience, and he quickly took control of the plane, and with the cooperation of Kobayashi and others, he withdrew from the battle in an orderly manner.
"Fu, I think they should call for reinforcements, and we won't be able to take advantage of anything if we continue like this." Chennault said to Fu Guoqiang.
Fu Guoqiang also knew that in the face of three Zeros, he and Chennault still had the possibility of winning with their superb flying combat skills, but if he came to such a small team again, he was not sure.
It was a risky operation, and there was no need to risk your life. Fu Guoqiang immediately responded to the decision and immediately retreated.
"Okay, teacher, I'll cover, you retreat first!" Fu Guoqiang said.
"No, I just want to study this Japanese plane. We will speed up towards our occupied territory, and wait until the two of them catch up before killing them, and study this new Japanese plane. Chennault said.
"Great idea!" After Fu Guoqiang heard this, he began to increase his horsepower and flew towards Kunming with Chennault.
Kobayashi Masaha saw that the two Chinese fighters were about to slip away, and he didn't care about waiting for the arrival of reinforcements, so he hurriedly chased after them.
The Zero's speed advantage was really not covered, and soon they caught up with these two fighters. However, although the Zero has the advantage of speed, it is not difficult for the experienced Chennault and Fu Guoqiang to avoid them.
The two of them drove the fighter plane to constantly change positions, but it also left Kobayashi Masang without leaving a chance to fire.
"What a cunning fellow!" Kobayashi Masaha himself is an ace pilot, and the feeling of being strong and invincible and lonely is quite obvious in him, so although he encounters these two opponents with excellent skills, he is even more excited.
He ordered his left wingman to follow closely with his level flight and pursue and bite the two Chinese fighters together.
Looking at the time of the flight, it was about the time when it was already in the rear of our army, Fu Guoqiang and Chennault turned off the no-wire and began to prepare for the necessary counterattack.
Chennault began to dive to 1,800 meters and did a few more somersaults, quickly shaking off the Japanese plane behind him. And Fu Guoqiang piloted the fighter plane and immediately began to get rid of the small radius arc somersault, using the advantage of the fuselage to get rid of Kobayashi Masang's pursuit, and at the same time framed Kobayashi Masang's plane into his own cannon sight.
"Not good!" Kobayashi Masaka had just reacted and was about to pull the maneuver to get rid of it, when Fu Guoqiang's machine gun had already fired. The crisp sound of machine guns sounded in the sky above Yungui,
Smoke billowed from Kobayashi's plane, and then, like a kite that had dropped its strings, circled in the air a few times before falling head-to-head. I saw a white umbrella flower blooming in the air, and it seemed that Xiaolin had skydived.
Another Japanese plane ran away, and Fu Guoqiang wanted to dive down and kill Xiaolin, but after thinking about it, he gave up this decision.
