Captain Jiro Ueya, the leader of the 1st Squadron of the Japanese Carrier-based Aircraft Squadron, led the few remaining fighters and dozens of fighters of the 1st Squadron of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army's carrier-based aircraft unit. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info They can almost be described as struggling to support, and if they are not careful, they can be shot down. It can be said that the situation has become unusually difficult for them.

Fortunately, the 2nd Zero fighters of the 18th Squadron of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft arrived in time. However, by this time, only six Zero fighters remained in the 1st Squadron of Japanese carrier-based aircraft. And the F4U fighters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army that they shot down were only 4. The result of the two sides has become 4 to 12.

Therefore, even if the 2nd Squadron of Japanese carrier-based aircraft arrived, they were still at a disadvantage in terms of the number of fighters, with only 24 fighters in total. At this time, there were still 35 fighters left in the 1st Brigade of the Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.

What's even worse is that two fighter groups of the 1st Fighter Wing of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force also rushed to the battlefield. Seventy-two P-51B fighters joined the battle, which made the Japanese inferiority even greater. More than 100 fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army and more than 20 Zero fighters besieging the Japanese army. No matter how good the performance of these Zero fighters is, and no matter how strong the pilots' piloting skills are, they will not be able to withstand the siege of so many fighters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army!

"Damn, how can the people of China have so many fighters? There are not only a large number of F4U fighters, but also a huge number of P-51B fighters, how to fight this battle? How can we fight for air supremacy from the hands of the Chinese people? "Jiro Uetani, I'm a little crying without tears. It can be said that in this air battle, they no longer have any hope of winning. Under the siege of the fighters of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, their Zero fighters will only be wiped out little by little.

"Da Da Da!"

A P-51B fighter, diving from a high altitude, launched an attack on a Japanese Zero fighter.

Whether it was the air force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army or the carrier-based aircraft unit, when they were receiving training, they specially conducted tactical training for the Japanese Zero fighters, and knew what kind of tactics to adopt when fighting the Japanese Zero fighters. As a result, they were able to use the performance and tactics of carrier-based aircraft to defeat the Japanese Zero fighters when the pilots' skills were inferior to those of the Japanese army.

Although, a special training camp was conducted. However, it is very difficult to say whether or not victory will be achieved after actually going to the battlefield. However, at least judging from the current situation, the air force and carrier-based aircraft units of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army performed very well in the battle, giving full play to their own advantages, and the Japanese Zero fighters could not compete at all.

"Damn the Shina people, go die!" A Japanese Zero fighter immediately chased after discovering a P-51B fighter of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, trying to escape by a high-speed dive.

The Japanese pilot, seemingly unaware of the fact that the speedometer was constantly rising. Also, the engine began to have problems because it was diving too fast and inhaling too much air.

By the time the Japanese pilot found out about the problem, it was too late. The engine of the Zero fighter he was flying had turned off.

During the high-speed dive, the fighter stalled, and the harm caused by this was almost fatal.

This Zero fighter fell directly to the surface of the sea and turned into fragments.

"Knock knock!"

A Japanese Zero fighter finally bit an F4U fighter of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army after a lot of hard work. In order to ensure the destruction of the thick-skinned F4U, the Zero used a 20mm cannon directly on the wing.

The armament of the Zero fighter mainly consisted of two 7.7 mm aviation machine guns in the nose and two 20 mm cannons in two wings. The power of the 7.7mm aviation machine gun is too weak, and it is difficult to destroy the solid fighter of the US military unless it hits the vital point or the pilot. In order to strengthen its attack power, the Japanese army added a 20 mm cannon to the Zero fighter. However, the 20mm cannon did not have many rounds in reserve, only 60 rounds. As a result, the Japanese army could not fire at will at all in air combat. Otherwise, all 60 shells would have been used up in an instant.

A barrage of 20mm cannon shells hit the F4U fighter accurately. The pilot was torn to shreds before he could even parachute in time.

However, before the Zero fighter had time to cheer, it was hit by another F4U fighter of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army.

The F4U fighter swooped down from a high altitude and opened heavy fire on it. A barrage of bullets from a 12.7 mm aviation machine gun hit the upper part of its fuselage. At this time, in order to reduce weight, the Zero fighter did not install any self-sealing fuel tanks and fire extinguishing devices. After being hit, the Zero burst into flames. The fire quickly ignited the fuel in the tank, and the entire plane was consumed by the fire.

"Damn the China, why are they so good?" Captain Jiro Uetani couldn't figure this out at all.

In his opinion, the combat effectiveness of the air force and carrier-based aircraft units of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army is not even much weaker than that of their old opponents, the Americans.

Coupled with the numerical superiority of the fighters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, the Japanese army was completely in a ravaged position in this air battle.

More and more Zero fighters were shot down by fighters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. And the fighters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army, although they were also shot down. However, in terms of quantity, it is much less.

On the sea, the officers and men of the Japanese naval task force shelling formation were so stupid that they had even forgotten to continue shelling the city of Bangkok, and instead focused on the air battle overhead. These Japanese naval officers and men also knew that if they did not do well, this air battle would be directly related to their lives.

If their Zero fighters are not able to defeat the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, then what awaits them will be the attack of the bombers of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army. Even a battleship as thick as the Mutsu would probably not survive the overwhelming bombers, let alone other heavy cruisers and destroyers with slightly weaker defenses.

The dive bombers and torpedo attack planes of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army have already arrived on the battlefield. However, they did not attack immediately, but waited for the results of the air battle. However, it is now almost certain that this air battle will end in a crushing defeat for the carrier-based aircraft forces of the Japanese navy.
