Chapter 202: Battle in the Air
"Woooooooooooo Woooooo ”
In the sky above Jinzhai, Gao Zhihang could see at a glance the number of Japanese planes, which was a fully organized mixed flight group with 24 bombers and 12 fighters. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the other hand, it has a total of 12 aircraft, with 4 bombers and 8 fighters.
At this moment, the commander of the Morita Wing below, Morita Fan Zheng, also observed the arrival of the Chinese Air Force through the telescope.
The corners of his mouth rose, and he couldn't help but chuckle: "Hahaha, just 12 planes, it's just a moth fighting a fire and killing itself!" ”
Hearing this, the rest of the Japanese officers also shouted: "Captain, be wise!" ”
"The Empire's air force is invincible!"
"That's right, whether it's Songhu, Jiangyin, Nanjing, Xikou, Taiyuan, Xuzhou, or now Jinzhai, the empire's aircraft have no rivals in China at all!"
"That is, in the first battle of Songhu, the planes of the empire annihilated more than 400 Chinese planes in one fell swoop in two months."
"The performance of the Empire's aircraft, far superior to China's fighters, and China's aircraft are all obsolete products of the West."
"Whether it is the speed of the fighter, or the climbing, the lever, it is far inferior to our aircraft."
"I firmly believe that our air force will definitely be able to destroy these 12 enemy planes."
"We will win this battle!"
"Let's wait and see!"
At the same time, the 31st Division below, all the officers and soldiers, also had surprises and turned into sorrow.
"Why is there only 12 planes, but the other party has 36 planes!"
"Isn't this a food delivery for the little devil?"
"This is terrible, our plane, I'm afraid we will lose!"
"Once our planes lose, then how can we recapture the Shihe position."
"No matter, just die."
"Yes, let's swear to die and not to die as slaves!"
"Air Force brothers, come on!"
"Come on, the little devil!"
Even the division commander Chi Fengcheng, at this moment, was heartbroken: "These 12 planes, what is the use!" ”
At that moment, an order was immediately issued: "Chief of Staff, our planes are about to engage with Japanese planes, take advantage of this gap to order the whole division to speed up the speed, and we must quickly recapture the Shihe position." ”
"Yes, Master!" The chief of staff of the 13th Division replied in a loud voice.
For a time, no one was optimistic about the Chinese Air Force, whether it was the 31st Division of the National~ Army or the Morita Wing of the Japanese Army, and they all agreed that Gao Zhihang's Air Force would definitely be defeated!
However, who is Gao Zhihang?
During the Battle of Songhu, Gao Zhihang led the Fourth Air Force Group, with 15 extremely outdated fighters, and launched a shocking air battle with 18 "Type 96" land attack planes of the Japanese army.
Although the Japanese army's "Type 96" land attack aircraft, also known as the 96 carrier-based aircraft, is not very famous, its comprehensive performance, in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, whether it is flight speed, climbing speed and altitude, it is no exaggeration to say that it is very powerful.
It was the strongest fighter in the world at that time.
Not one of them!
However, under such circumstances, the fighters led by Gao Zhihang created an amazing record of their own fighters in one fell swoop and annihilated 6 96 carrier-based aircraft of the Japanese army.
created a 6-0 result, the first record of a complete victory in the air battle against Japan, and was known as the "God of War of the Air Force".
Gao Zhihang is the absolute king of China's air warfare and the invincible god of war!
Today, the 12 planes led by Gao Zhihang are all the latest fighters purchased from the West.
On the other hand, the Japanese planes, of which there are only 6, are the strongest 96 carrier-based aircraft, and the performance of the rest of the aircraft is only the aircraft of the Chinese Air Force, which is not much different.
Gao Zhihang chuckled and said: "Little devil, let you pay a terrible price for your arrogance and arrogance immediately!" ”
At this moment, the Japanese planes formed a huge aircraft formation and flew out.
Seeing this, Gao Zhihang said in his heart: "Are you really arrogant, you want to use the absolute number to crush us?" ”
"I'd like to see later, when you're attacked, how your fighters can turn and dodge urgently."
At that moment, Gao Zhihang immediately sent a yellow signal flare to his own fighter.
"Huh!"
When the allied fighters who received the order dispersed quickly, several of them climbed rapidly.
As early as when the White Tiger was based, Ouyang talked with Gao Zhihang about a problem of aircraft combat.
Ouyang Yan said: "We should adopt a more advanced flight combat mode of long aircraft and wingman, and abandon the single mode of attacking fighters. ”
Four aircraft, forming a flight group, of which 2 are long planes and 2 are wingmen.
long aircraft, responsible for the annihilation of enemy aircraft;
The wingman is responsible for providing cover in the event of an attack by a long aircraft.
And every two two-plane formations can form a four-plane formation that covers and supports each other.
On the other hand, the Japanese army's three-plane formation was a German model, and the formation method was relatively dense, so that the attack machine guns of the fighters could form a relatively dense crossfire.
However, in real air combat, the tactics of a dense formation of three planes are far inferior to the flight operations of long planes and wingmen.
The gap is ten!
It was late July 1938, and the air combat mode in which the long plane and the wingman worked together had not yet been developed by various countries.
It was not until the middle and late stages of World War II that the U.S. Air Force first adopted this tactic and engaged the Luftwaffe, and its results can be said to be quite huge, completely destroying the Luftwaffe in one fell swoop.
Since then, this two-plane formation method has paid off handsomely and has been quickly imitated by other countries.
"Let's get started, little devil!" The corners of Gao Zhihang's mouth rose and he chuckled.
At that moment, the fighters led by Gao Zhihang were flying rapidly, and the Japanese planes were also divided into three layers, spreading out in formation.
When the two sides were still 2,000 yards (1,824 meters) apart, they opened fire in unison.
"Da Da Da!"
At this time and space, the main means of attack of the aircraft is the 20 mm caliber machine gun in front.
"Pull the rod, climb!"
Suddenly, when they were less than 1,000 yards apart, the fighters of Gao Zhihang and others quickly climbed and avoided the powerful crossfire of the Japanese army.
Captain Morita who was watching from the bottom was overjoyed, "Hahaha, you see, the Chinese plane has chosen to escape, and it doesn't dare to compete with the imperial plane!" ”
In the end, the first battle between the two sides ended with Gao Zhihang's fighter plane.
Gao Zhihang chuckled at the corner of his mouth: "Stupid and arrogant little devil, I'll let you know right away!" ”
"Take advantage of the sun, dive, from the direction of 4 o'clock, attack enemy aircraft!"
Sunlight Tactics: Quickly accelerate and move between enemy aircraft and the sun, using the interference of strong sunlight, you can get close to a fairly close position without the enemy noticing.
(Refer to the interference of oncoming cars with high beams on when driving at night, which interferes with your eyesight)
In air combat, if you have the opportunity, you must make good use of the sun, and when attacking, you must turn your back to the sun and attack enemy aircraft!
Gao Zhihang's crew is scattered, which is easy to turn around.
On the other hand, although the firepower of the group fighters adopted by the Japanese army is very powerful, the maneuverability and change of direction are greatly reduced.
"Attack!"
In an instant, Gao Zhihang and others brazenly launched an attack on the Japanese army!
"Da Da Da!"
In an instant, using the dive, the speed of the aircraft was accelerated to the maximum, and the machine guns rang out in unison!
"Boom!"
At this moment, two Japanese fighters were destroyed!
No damage!
The captain of Morita United, who was watching, was immediately shocked: "How is it possible!" That's impossible! ”
"Little devil, this is just the beginning!" Gao Zhihang said with a smile.
The second watch, there is another watch in the evening! (To be continued.) )
