For about 39 years, there were only three criteria for evaluating the performance of a fighter: maneuverability, protection ability, and then firepower configuration. Compared with the Japanese Army's Type 99 Naval Attack (carrier-based aircraft), although the speed of Type 99 is faster than that of the Type Zero that appeared later in that time and space, there is still a gap between it and the Type 1. The protection ability can not be compared, the Japanese in line with the design concept of saving, can save the province, although the 99 type designer Jiro said that the 99 type is currently one of the most durable fighters in Japan, but in fact, the 99 type compared with its predecessors, that is, the fuel tank, cockpit and other key parts of the increase of a few pieces of 3.5 mm or so protective steel plates. The current Xue 1 is equipped with one cannon and three airborne machine guns, while the Type 99 is one machine gun and two machine guns. In addition, when the Xue-1 is on a bombing mission, it can carry about 600 kg of bombs, while the Type 99 can only carry two 59-kg bombs. I want to find out where the Type 1 fighter is worse than the Type 99, that is, the body type. As a fighter, the size of the Xue-1 is half larger than that of the Type 99, and it seems that it is easier to be targeted by enemy aircraft during air combat, but considering its strong protection ability, unless it is directly hit by the cannon, in fact, Xue-1 is one of the fighters with the strongest survivability in air combat over the world.

There were 24 Xue-1 white-sided dolphins, 12 bombers of various types, and the first to appear in the field of vision of the Yamabegawa Sankey were the 8 white-sided dolphins led by Blue Volcano. Yamabe is no stranger to the white-sided dolphin, although he has not fought with the white-sided dolphin so far, but because of the "sunken bar", this type of fighter and air fortress have long been regarded as a major danger by the Japanese naval and land aviation regiments and have been deeply analyzed and studied.

Tsukahara 243 frequently sent air units to wreak havoc near the coastline of Hainan, and the main purpose was to lure out the cadet army and air force to annihilate them. As Blue Volcano said, whether they join the battlefield or not, as long as they maintain their existence, they are a great threat to the little devils.

The lurking Shina fighter finally sorted, and as soon as it appeared, it shot down one of its own fighters, and as soon as it came out, the green tendons on the mountain's forehead were beating violently, and a large amount of adrenal hormones were released in an instant. The slogan of the Japanese air force in peacetime training was to defeat the cadet army air force and restore the glory of the imperial air force, and the biggest dream of its fighter pilots was to be able to shoot down a white-sided dolphin or a flying fortress in person, but when their dream opponent suddenly appeared in front of them, almost all of them immediately thought of retreating.

"Yamabe-kun, please remember that your mission is only to lure the enemy, so as soon as you spot the Shina fighters, regardless of their number, return immediately. If you can't maintain an absolute numerical superiority, please don't rush into battle, you know what I mean? The words of Acting Commander Tsukahara were still ringing in his ears, and Yamanbe, suppressing his desire to fight to the death, pulled up his fighter planes and made a maneuver that demanded that the bombers retreat immediately and that the fighters form a formation but meet the enemy.

The 11 surviving bombers of various types in this airspace of the Japanese army had long been ready to escape, and as soon as the mountains had completed this maneuver, they immediately smeared oil on the soles of their feet and slipped away. The remaining four fighters quickly adjusted their flight attitudes and quickly assembled around the mountain, taking a sniper posture.

With the guidance of the Wuzhishan radar station, Blue Volcano was able to find the ideal enemy to fight a duel, and the other 30 enemy planes were still in the airspace more than 40 kilometers away, and it was impossible to rush over them in a short time. My request - shoot them all down! ”

"Two groups received, three groups received!"

Dozens of warplanes flew in formation, and the roar of huge engines shook the treetops on the ground slightly. Xue Feng and the others looked up, and tears suddenly burst into their eyes. I thought that I would die today, but at a critical time, my own eagles came out in a flock, and nothing was more gratifying than this kind of aftermath of life.

"Our fighters, our white-sided dolphins!" A student soldier shouted loudly, and suddenly stood up and saluted the silver eagle passing in the sky.

"And the Flying Fortress! Brothers, do you think it's going to be another 'sunk'?! Some students said excitedly, looking at the eyes of those air fortresses full of envy.

"Salute to the Air Force brothers!" Xue Feng said a solemn salute, and the next moment he shouted: "Go, go and help save people." ”

"Okay!"

The air battle was fierce from the very beginning. Under the command of Blue Volcano, the 24 white-sided dolphins of the Qiongzhou Flying Group had a clear division of labor, and after the eight fighters bit the four fighters piloted by Yamabegawa Sanjian and others, the remaining 16 flew straight towards the 11 bombers, only to frighten the devil air force piloting the bombers one by one, and they completely lost their previous prestige.

It was the bomber cluster that took the lead in the success of the Qiongzhou Flying Group. Although they wisely chose to escape separately, because the speed difference was too great, and there was basically no way to fight back, so, under the unscrupulous pursuit of the cadet pilots, soon some fighters were locked by the sights, and then they were disintegrated in a volley of bullets.

Blue Volcano, with his wingman, aimed at Yamabegawa Sankey at the beginning. However, even if it was two against one, they failed to please for a while, and they were quickly stirred up. Yamabe is not only experienced in driving skills, but also has a very good sense of judgment of the situation. After discovering that his side was at a disadvantage, he did not rush to attack to narrow the gap, but unreasonably used the excellent sudden acceleration performance of the Type 99 fighter to expand their battle circle infinitely, and almost failed to attract all the firepower of a group of other six white-sided dolphins.

Simply compared to the skills, the pilots of the cadet army are much worse than the devils. Among the pilots of the Qiongzhou Flying Group, only Blue Volcano had actual combat experience, but at that time, he was only a student of Jianqiao Aviation School.

The Air Force is undoubtedly the fastest growing of all branches of the armed forces, but the training of Air Force pilots requires the most time to accumulate. As a result, various problems have arisen one after another as a result of the large-scale expansion of the Air Force, the first of which is the serious shortage of pilots, and secondly, the serious shortage of ground personnel such as mechanics. As the Guangzhou aircraft factory gradually got on the right track, with new fighters rolling off the assembly line every month, this contradiction became more and more acute, and even affected the scale of the air force. Thinking that once the aircraft carrier was built and a large number of pilots would be needed, Ouyang Yun began to be a little unscrupulous. And the air force units of the Central Army, which had been forced to move to the southwest, naturally became the target of his prying. And this made the relationship between the Cadet Army and the Central Army, which was not even friendly, even worse.

Because the Qiongzhou Flying Brigade has not had a combat mission for a long time, the people who are now stationed here are some novices, which is nothing, after all, veterans have also come from novices. But now, this has affected the implementation of the battle plan formulated by Blue Volcano.

Blue Volcano clearly knew that the little devil fighters deliberately swaggered along the coast, and one of the purposes was definitely to lure them into battle, so once they appeared, the Japanese army would inevitably send superior fighters to encircle and annihilate them. Qiongzhou is too close to the front line, and it is impossible to continue to lurk under the pressure of the Japanese army, so it is an inevitable choice to attack at this time. As for how to defuse the conspiracy of the Japanese army, it is not difficult, but the difficult thing is how to give the Japanese army a fatal blow before retreating.
