The air battle ignites instantly!

For a time, 10 Zero fighters fought against the Japanese army's meritorious fighter Type 97 carrier-based aircraft!

The huge roar of the propeller could be clearly heard even by the Japanese troops hundreds of meters below. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Rear Admiral Okitado, commander of the Second Fleet of the Japanese ~ Navy, said disdainfully: "Although the reputation of our army's 97 carrier-based aircraft is not obvious in other countries, its combat effectiveness is definitely the world's first-class. Now that our 97 carrier-based aircraft has made a sortie, then it is the absolute hegemon of this sky, and any enemy aircraft in front of it can only be reduced to ashes! ”

The surrounding Japanese officers also agreed with this very much.

In addition to weather and other factors, three points are decisive in the air combat of fighter jets.

First, the number of fighters, the side with the largest number will have a great advantage.

After all, it is definitely better to fight alone than to attack it in a group, even the lion, as the king of the forest, has to retreat when it encounters a pack of wolves;

Second, the performance of the fighter, the more advanced the fighter, the stronger the combat effectiveness.

Just like the mainstream fighters of various countries during World War II, that is, the "propeller" class fighters, they must be far inferior to the jet fighters of later generations.

The armor, flexibility, speed, flight altitude and other performance of the fighter determine the combat effectiveness of the fighter;

Third, the pilot's ability to fly the aircraft and the tactics of flight operations are also crucial points.

An excellent pilot plays a huge role in air combat, just like the ace pilots of all countries in the world during World War II, under the same conditions of fighter performance, he can easily shoot down several or even more than a dozen fighters.

At the same time, an advanced concept and tactics of flight operations are also very important. For example, during the Battle of Songhu, the flying squadron led by Gao Zhihang fought against the Japanese army's flying group, and when the number of fighters and the performance of the aircraft were inferior to the Japanese planes, they relied on extremely advanced flight tactics to shoot down nine Japanese fighters, causing a number of Japanese fighters to flee.

These three factors determine the success or failure of an air battle!

At this moment, the reason why the Japanese officers and soldiers are so confident is because they occupy the above three points of the number of aircraft, the performance of the aircraft, and the quality of the pilots.

"Our army will win!"

Day ~ The commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy, Rear Admiral Okitado laughed.

"Our army cannot fail! I, the Great Japanese Empire, are invincible! ”

Major General Somaike, commander of the Japanese brigade, said firmly.

As the air battle continued, one fighter plane after another was shot down, engulfed in flames, and a huge roar erupted when it hit the ground.

Every time a fighter plane was shot down and detonated, tens of thousands of Japanese soldiers immediately shouted excitedly!

"The first one!"

"The second one!"

~~~~~

"The third!"

"Our army will win!"

"Haha!"

"It's the sixth!"

Although the night was dark, and the Japanese troops below could not judge the process of flight combat with the naked eye, it did not affect the results of their falling fighters one after another.

"Hahaha, although I don't know how many fighters our army lost, but I am sure that the planes that were shot down, the vast majority of them were enemy planes!"

"Yes, our big day ~ the fighter of this empire is invincible!"

They firmly believed in the superiority of their 97 carrier-based aircraft and would certainly be able to achieve victory in air battles.

At this moment, although hundreds of Japanese troops were killed and wounded at the Chongming base of the Japanese army, and many military facilities were greatly damaged, and there were still fires, all the Japanese troops present cheered after seeing the planes falling.

They are agitated, they are ecstatic!

"Roar!"

The brigade commander, Major General Somachi, couldn't help but smile and said: "My big day ~ the fighter plane of this empire is amazing!" Anyone who dares to challenge its existence in the sky will be terrified by being shot down again and again! ”

The adjutant then chimed in: "What Your Excellency the Brigade Commander said is very true, any enemy plane that fights our Imperial Japanese planes will result in a deep despair of the enemy!" Hahaha! ”

At this moment, suddenly a Japanese officer ran over in a panic, sweating profusely, and his expression was also shocked.

The brigade commander Xiang Ma Chi raised his eyebrows lightly, slightly displeased, and said in a deep voice: "Panic, what kind of system!" ”

At that moment, the words that the Japanese soldier was about to say were suddenly stuck in his throat, and he began to spit out.

Seeing this, the brigade commander Xiang Ma Chi was even more displeased, and said angrily: "Baga! I asked you to check the number of enemy planes that fell, why did you stop talking?

Hurry up and tell the news, let the warriors of our empire listen to the news of this victory together! ”

At that moment, the Japanese military officer was shocked: "Your Excellency, Brigade Commander, something is wrong!" Our squadron went to check the results and found that 12 planes had fallen, but all of them were 97 carrier-based aircraft of our army! ”

As soon as the words fell, the brigade commander Xiang Ma Chi was shocked!

The Japanese officers and soldiers around him also looked shocked and unbelievable!

At that moment, the brigade commander, Major General Somachi, also didn't care about etiquette, grabbed the arms of the Japanese military junior officer tightly with both hands, and roared: "You say it again! What do you mean by downed planes, all of them are planes of our army? You tell me it's fake, you're lying to me, aren't you! ”

Another Japanese officer was also shocked: "This is a hypothesis, the Empire's 97 carrier-based aircraft is a world-class fighter, the Empire's strongest fighter, and the overlord of the sky, how can it fail?" ”

The Japanese officers and soldiers around them obviously did not believe in this result.

But after listening to this young officer say it again a few times, everyone was stunned!

"The 12 planes that fell, all of them are planes of my big day ~ this empire!"

The sudden result is completely different from what they imagined that "if your side wins greatly, the enemy will lose."

For a while, everyone seemed to have collapsed their faith, and they all wailed!

"Yaga! How is this possible? How can the fighters of our army be no match for the enemy's aircraft? ”

The brigade commander, Major General Somaike, was so angry that he could not accept this result and was unwilling to accept it.

He could not understand why his own planes had been defeated so much, and the number of his own planes was 36, while the enemy planes had only 10, and his own fighters had an absolute advantage.

At the same time, their own aircraft performance and pilot quality also occupy an absolute advantage.

In this case, you should have a big victory, but why is it that your fighters are defeated now?

Why?

Why is that?

He can't understand!

The Japanese adjutant said with a wry smile: "The number of our fighters is obviously more than theirs, but why are all our fighters shot down, then there is only one possibility, the performance of the enemy's fighters far exceeds our 97 carrier-based aircraft, and the enemy's pilots' posture and tactical capabilities are also far superior to our pilots!" ”

During World War II, air-to-air combat had no missiles, no over-the-horizon and was entirely close-quarters, so whichever side had the advantage in speed and maneuverability was destined to win.

In terms of speed and maneuverability, the Japanese Zero fighter from 1940 comprehensively crushed the Japanese Type 97 carrier-based aircraft.

Not to mention the 97 carrier-based aircraft, which is the aircraft of the US military, in the early days of World War II, its comprehensive performance was far inferior to the Japanese Zero fighter.

After the outbreak of the Pacific Campaign, the Japanese Zero fighters overwhelmed the US fighters with their small turning radius, fast speed, and long range, and began to dominate the Pacific Theater.

The main reason for this is weight reduction.

Under the premise of the same engine output, it is 30 to 45 percent lighter than the American fighter of the same class, and its weight is lighter;

Otherwise, the engine is more powerful, and the speed, maneuverability and cruising range are all improved.

This also led to the fact that in the early days of the Pacific War in World War II, the Zero Type would be so powerful!

However, in the middle and late stages of the war, the aviation technology of the United States improved rapidly, and the power of the aircraft engine increased significantly.

High-performance fighters such as the P-51 Mustang, F-4U Corsair, and F-6F Hellcat were put into the battlefield in large quantities, and the advantages of the Zero fighter were gradually lost.

Even if the weight of the new aircraft developed by the US military is twice as large as that of the Zero, it can also achieve the same or even superior maneuverability as the Zero under the impetus of a high-power engine.

And the load capacity is large, you can be equipped with stronger firepower and thicker armor, just like the American fighter in the late Pacific War, equipped with six to eight 12.7mm or 20mm aviation machine guns, and the armor is so thick that the bullets fired by the Zero will bounce off, and the Zero did not take into account the subsequent transformation in the initial development, so the development space is extremely small, and the excessive lightweight, resulting in weak firepower, poor survivability of a large number of armor, and even no self-sealing fuel tank, and was given the title of "flying lighter" by the Allies

By the end of the war, the Zero fighter became the main type of aircraft for the suicide attacks of the "kamikaze", and it was completely reduced to artillery fire in air combat!

At this point, the Japanese Zero fighter has withdrawn from the stage of history forever.

But that was after 1942-1943.

It was now the end of December 1938, and during this period, even the Japanese 97 carrier-based aircraft could dominate the world, not to mention the Japanese Zero fighter whose performance far surpassed it.

At the end of World War II, the Japanese Zero fighter was artillery fire!

But in 1938, it was invincible!

It is a domineering-level existence that can easily crush the sky!

~~~~~~~

As the air battle continued, one after another Japanese 97 carrier-based planes were shot down, and a group of Japanese officers and soldiers were desperate!

The brigade commander, Major General Somaike, is also desperate!

The commander of the Second Fleet, Rear Admiral Okitado, was also desperate!

By dawn, the air battle was over.

All 36 planes of an integrated Japanese flying group were shot down, while only 3 Zero fighters were shot down.

Immediately, dozens of carrier-based planes that had not yet taken off by the Japanese army also covered up one after another, not daring to make the slightest appearance, and in this case, the Japanese troops had no choice but to fight hard with their lives.

In the blink of an eye, another hour passed, and it was dawn.

The battle is over!

However, the Japanese officers and soldiers, when they saw the devastated Chongming Island base at the moment, everyone left tears.

The three-hour air raid dealt an incomparably huge blow to the Japanese base on Chongming Island!

More than 800 Japanese officers and soldiers were killed or wounded;

52 Japanese 97 carrier-based aircraft were damaged;

As many as 123 Japanese buildings were destroyed, and many other important military facilities, such as fuel depots, were also destroyed.

Two Japanese light cruisers were sunk;

For a time, the entire Japanese army base on Chongming Island was damaged by more than 50% in this air raid, which made all the Japanese troops sadden.

As everyone knows, two hours ago, an earth-shattering air battle broke out in the sky over Tinglin Town, Shanghai, and 32 Japanese fighters were all shot down by just one enemy plane!

This result made all the Japanese soldiers fall into infinite fear!

The name of this aircraft is called by the world - J-20!
