Chapter 1289: The Battle Over the Andaman Sea (Part II)
The poignant air defense sirens resounded on the quiet sea, and the first attack wave group led by Le Yiqin had already flown over the Japanese fleet, and from the cockpit of his fighter plane, the Japanese warships, large and small, like frightened bison, were maneuvering, plowing the blue sea water into irregular waves, while shooting frantically into the air, and the strings of shells visible to the naked eye, like holiday flowers, flew into the sky, and the clear sky was immediately covered with black smoke balls This position, Just outside the range of the Japanese fleet's anti-aircraft firepower, the Japanese ships desperately fired at the air, in order to prevent the first division aircraft group from breaking into the core of the fleet and attacking the three aircraft carriers, and at the same time, it also won time for the carrier-based aircraft to rise into the air.
Le Yiqin commanded the aircraft group, circling outside the anti-aircraft fire circle of the Japanese fleet, and had no intention of risking to drill into the dense fire network, he secretly enjoyed in his heart, "Little devil, fight harder, waste more shells, so as to reduce the burden on the second echelon," The anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese fleet seems to have successfully prevented the attack of the ** division group.
Mistakes were made in the busyness, and the four Japanese carrier-based planes that took off first crashed into their own firepower circle, good guys, the little devil's anti-aircraft firepower was fierce enough, and the four "Type 92" carrier-based planes were hit into a volley explosion, and Le Yiqin leaned forward and backward, shouting into the intercom: "It's really exciting!" ”
With the anti-aircraft fire of the fleet, which successfully prevented the surprise attack of the ** division's aircraft group, most of the carrier-based aircraft had been lifted into the air, and Hasegawa Kiyoshi "banged" his heart and fell back into his stomach, and he looked at his watch. Four minutes have passed, that is, according to the fuel capacity of the aircraft of the ** division that has been running for a long time, the time spent in the air by the aircraft of the Chinese state. It's only four minutes.
The corners of Hasegawa Kiyoshi's mouth hung a mocking sneer, and he secretly thought to himself: "In the first three minutes, if you don't break through the air defense fire network of my fleet, the surprise attack of the Shina aircraft group will be a failure, and after all my carrier-based aircraft are lifted into the air, although the number is smaller." However, after four minutes, the plane of the people of China had to return, and at that time, there was only one thing left to chase and kill! ”
"If you engage in an air battle, you will be looking for your own death, which is exactly what I want," he immediately ordered: "Order the commander of the aviation." All the planes of the Imperial Army, the planes that are entangled in the people of China, I will run out of their fuel. Look at the damned and cunning Shina planes, one by one falling into the sea, order the frigates, ready to capture the prisoners! ”
In Hasegawa Kiyoshi's eyes, the air battle at this time was no longer an air battle in the real sense, and the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Japanese Navy, which was full of fuel, could not be any suspense against the fighter jets whose fuel could only support a few heels in the air? He couldn't help but be a little interested, and left the command position. Walking onto the deck of the "Asahi", I also brought a chair and prepared to leisurely enjoy the spectacle of the plane falling from the sky.
The Japanese carrier-based planes had all risen into the air, and while they were in formation in the air, they were pressing towards the group of planes with great momentum, and Le Yiqin ordered loudly: "Climb high immediately." Throw away the auxiliary fuel tank, leave all the little devil's carrier-based planes, if the auxiliary fuel tank of that plane can be thrown on the little devil's warship, after I go back, I will ask the division commander to give him credit! In the headphones, there was a burst of laughter.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi's estimated time had arrived, and seeing that the group of ** divisions was climbing higher, it meant to return, he smiled sarcastically and shook his head, "I want to run!" It's too late, if I had escaped four minutes ago, maybe there would have been a chance of survival, but now, my carrier-based aircraft group has already pounced, and a good show of unilateral slaughter is about to be staged. ”
Le Yiqin turned the nose of the plane and saw nearly 200 Japanese carrier-based planes, chasing after a group of mad dogs like mad dogs, he couldn't help but smile proudly, he could even guess Hasegawa Kiyoshi's thoughts, "Wait for my plane to run out of fuel, so I can chase and kill my tail, it's best to fall into the sea, think beautifully, Lao Tzu's fighter can still fly in the sky for more than an hour, and I'm angry with you *** little devil!" ”
At this time, the position of the Leyiqin group occupied a height, which was extremely advantageous, more than 380 fighters, with more strikes and fewer blows, swooped down from a high altitude, and they could immediately disrupt the formation of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, "Order, the formation immediately began to attack, to be fierce, accurate, and ruthless, to give the little devils a blow to the head, and knock them out!" ”
After speaking, as soon as the nose was pressed, the plane from a height of nearly 10,000 meters, like an eagle falcon, rushed towards the Japanese carrier-based aircraft led the captain, his two wingmen, followed by the commander to pounce, if you look from the ground, with Le Yiqin three planes as arrows, more than 380 fighters of the ** division, forming a large triangle similar to an arrow, with a fierce momentum, shot towards the Japanese aircraft group that was climbing and pursuing.
Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who was watching the battle, was taken aback, "What are these Shina pilots going to do?" According to the time calculation, even if they want to leave the air combat area and return home, they will no longer be able to fly back to the airport, is it because they know that they will not escape death, and they will have a suicidal way to fight together? It is quite possible that the samurai of the Empire will be able to show up for the Empire, and these pilots of China will not be impossible! ”
"Stupid, dying and struggling, it doesn't help," Hasegawa Kiyoshi doesn't want to fight with the fighters of the ** division when his side has already won the battle, I, Hasegawa Kiyoshi, am not a reckless man, there is no need to use the life of an excellent pilot in the empire, and the pilot who will die is not afraid of death than the one who is not afraid of death, there is no need!
While observing the air situation, Hasegawa Kiyoshi ordered the communications officer: "Order the aviation commander, Rear Admiral Sato, to avoid the attack of the Shina aircraft group in formation, fight with it, and use up their fuel," Rear Admiral Sato, commander of the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Fleet, instinctively felt that something was not quite right, he was an expert, and he knew more about the performance of the fighters of the world's military powers than Hasegawa Kiyoshi.
He also knew how to calculate the fuel carrying capacity of the aircraft, so Sato fully agreed with the first order of Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi, but now, he saw the posture of the ** division group rushing up, what kind of dying and suicidal attack was there, and it was clearly taking advantage of the air combat position to fight a beautiful counterattack!
However, he was not sure, the root cause was still in the amount of fuel carried by the fighters, and Sato knew more about his commander's temper, which sounded a little more confident, and said a little ugly a little bit of arrogance and arrogance, and he couldn't be sure, in case the fighter really came to work hard, causing too much loss to the carrier-based aircraft formation, he would have to go around without food.
Doubts in Sato's heart only flashed, he still gave an order to the commander of the carrier-based aircraft formation, Kuroyama Hirozo Osa, in accordance with Hasegawa Kiyoshi's order, "Montenegro Daisa, according to the order of Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi, our formation will not engage the Shina aircraft group head-on, avoid its edge, fight with it, repeat, do not engage head-on!" ”
The commander of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft formation, Kuroyama Hirozo Osa, almost got his nose crooked, "What kind of bullshit order, now the fighter with the people of China is already the tip of the needle, and it looks like it is about to catch fire, at this time to change the course, whether it is to the left or right, down or up, will expose the wide front of his fighter to the pilot of China, and then it will become a live target?" ”
Black Mountain Hirozo is also a guy with a lot of personality, he feels the same as Sato, he sees that something is not quite right, and hurriedly says: "Commander Sato, the formation has entered the attack route, and changing the course at this time will put the group in an extremely unfavorable position and be attacked by the group of Shina, please consider the enforceability of the order?" ”
Sato just said coldly, "Execute the order!" Black Mountain Daisa gritted his teeth and ordered: "The first and second wings climb in height, and the third wing dives to reduce the altitude, avoid the edge of the Chinese group, and fight!" "Montenegro also has no way, if the entire formation lowers the altitude, it will be pressed and beaten by the group of Zhina, and it will be difficult to turn over.
For a while, it was difficult to decide to attack the group in that direction, and it only took a few tens of seconds to climb the two wings of carrier-based planes to regain the lost altitude, and looking at the sky from the ground, Le Yiqin's group was like an incomparably sharp machete, splitting bamboo, splitting the Japanese carrier-based aircraft air formation into two.
Montenegro's idea is good, but his opponent is Le Yiqin, who fought from the northeast to Burma, and never stopped fighting with the Japanese aircraft group, and the actual combat experience he played, seeing the movements of the Japanese aircraft group, he was stunned for only a few seconds, and immediately issued an order, "All speed up, press down the climbing little devil group," and ignored the Japanese carrier-based aircraft of the diving wing.
The number of Japanese carrier-based aircraft was originally less than that of Le Yiqin's aircraft group, and this division of troops was immediately a two-to-one situation, and the Japanese planes were desperately climbing high, and overhead, the black pressure pressed a piece, pressing down the fighter group of the ** division, and in an instant, on the blue sky, the machine guns rang out, and the fire slippers who were injured and killed hit the Japanese carrier-based planes.
The fighters of the two sides were immediately entangled, and the number of two to one, and the pilots of the Southern Flight Group of the ** Division were all veterans who had fought in actual combat, and in addition to the Soviet-style fighters that occupied the advantage of high altitude and were significantly higher in performance than the Japanese "Type 92" carrier-based aircraft, many favorable factors were added together, and the Japanese carrier-based aircraft formation suffered a big loss.
It was like a slap on the head, inciting the Japanese planes that were climbing, smashing the Japanese air formation into pieces, and the Japanese carrier-based planes were either blown into pieces in the air, or dragged a long period of black smoke, screaming and plunging into the sea, and in one round, they killed more than 40 Japanese planes, almost the number of a carrier-based aircraft wing of the Japanese Navy.
