Chapter 412: Myth Busted (Part 3)

The 1st Fighter Squadron of the 1st Brigade of the Carrier-based Aircraft Unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, plus spare aircraft, a total of 20 F4U fighters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info These fighters, flew to the front of the entire formation.

The 2nd Fighter Squadron, plus the spare aircraft, totaled 19 nine F4U fighters. These fighters, together with dive bombers and torpedo attack aircraft in the rear, provide them with protection. Avoid being attacked by the fighters of the Japanese themselves.

Because they were familiar with the advantages and disadvantages of the Zero fighter, the carrier-based aircraft units of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army all stayed at high altitude. Try to avoid low-altitude dogfights with Japanese Zero fighters. In that case, the excellent performance of the Zero fighter will be brought into full play. This is very bad for the F4U fighter. In an air battle, it is easy to be shot down by the zero battle of the Japanese * himself.

"Attention teams, the Shina people are coming soon. Once we spot them, drag them into the low-altitude grappling we do best. In that case, even if the people of China have advanced fighter jets, they will not be able to exert their performance at all. "The leader of the Japanese squadron, Captain Jiro Ueya, ordered.

"Hi, Your Excellency Squadron Leader." All the Japanese pilots replied.

The Japanese aircraft carriers 'Xianghe' and 'Zuihe' are both composed of 18 Zero fighters, 27 Type 99 ship critique planes, and 27 Type 97 ship attack planes. In addition, each of the three aircraft has four spare aircraft.

Although, at the moment, Captain Jiro Uetani has only eighteen Zero fighters in his hands. However, he was still unafraid. In the Pacific theater, they were indeed inferior to the US military, and they were beaten by the Americans and suffered heavy losses. However, they believe that they are still strong in front of the Chinese. How can the weak Chinese defeat them?

Indeed, on the Chinese battlefield, the Chinese Air Force is very good at dealing with the Japanese army air force. The performance of the fighters used by the Japanese army air force is much inferior to that of the Japanese navy. Even the most advanced Type 1 fighter of the Japanese Army Air Force is no match for the Zero fighter. Not to mention the other old fighters.

Of course, this is also related to the very poor performance of the fighters used by the Chinese Air Force. The Americans supported the Chinese Air Force with outdated P-40 fighters. Even the Flying Tigers use this model. You must know that this type of model is almost powerless in front of the Zero fighter of the Japanese * himself.

"I found the Zero fighter of the day * himself. Squad attention, get ready to attack! "The squadron leader of the 1st Fighter Squadron of the 1st Brigade, gave the order to attack.

The tactics of the F4U fighter against the Zero fighter are actually very simple. That is to maintain high speed and dive down from a high altitude to attack. Regardless of whether they hit the enemy or not, they continued to dive at high speed to get away from the Zero's pursuit, and then re-found a chance to climb high into the air and attack again. In order to avoid getting into a fight with the Zero fighter as much as possible. After all, once the grappling is engaged, the F4U fighter will not take advantage of the slightest advantage. In addition, the pilots of the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are probably inferior to the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the Japanese army. At that time, it will be even more difficult for the Air Force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army to achieve victory.

"Attack!" With the squadron leader's order, 20 F4U fighters in the air launched an attack on the Japanese Zero fighters.

These F4U fighters, diving down from a high altitude, six 12.7 mm aviation machine guns, fired fiercely.

"Da Da Da!"

Dense machine-gun fire, strafing the Japanese Zero fighters. The Zero fighter, on the other hand, is constantly dodging.

Only, even so. Under the intense fire, the Zero fighters were still hit.

A Zero fighter was hit by a shuttle aviation machine-gun bullet. The fragile body was directly punched out of a series of craters. The small half of the wing was directly knocked out. This caused the Zero fighter to lose its balance and crash towards the sea.

There was also a Zero fighter with the cockpit glass pierced by bullets from aviation machine guns. The pilot was shot directly, and blood sprayed all over the cockpit. After the pilot was killed, the Zero lost control and crashed into the sea.

In the first battle, the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army killed two Zero fighters, and there were no casualties of their own. This made the number of fighters on both sides on the battlefield 20 to 16.

"Well done! Continue to dive, get rid of the day himself, look for an opportunity to continue climbing, grab height, and then attack again. Brothers, it will be very easy to defeat the Zero fighter of the Japanese himself. The squadron leader said excitedly.

"Haha, Lao Tzu has killed a Zero." The pilots who shot down the Japanese Zero fighters cheered even more.

While the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army cheered victory, the carrier-based aircraft unit of the Japanese army fell into anger.

As soon as they fought, they lost two Zero fighters. What's even worse is that those pilots of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army seem to be still a little immature in their flying skills. However, their tactics are very sophisticated! This undoubtedly proves that they are well aware of the weaknesses of the Zero fighter. Under such circumstances, it would undoubtedly be very difficult for them to defeat the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Pursuit, take out those planes of the Chi Na people." Captain Jiro Uetani roared angrily. Being shot down by a plane of the Chinese who look down on it is simply a shame for them!

"Hi, sir." The other Japanese pilots were also red-eyed and chased after the fighters of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army.

"Oops, I was bitten by the day himself." One of the pilots exclaimed.

"Keep diving, then rolling, get rid of them!" The squad leader's voice appears inside the pilot's headphones.

The pilot immediately complied, first continuing to dive until he reached a kilometer above the surface, and then immediately rolled over.

After a set of actions, it was indeed easy to get rid of the Zero fighter of the Japanese * himself.

I have to admit that the American fighters have rough skin and thick flesh, and they are very durable. If it was the Zero fighter of the Japanese * himself, a set of such actions would have scared him, and it would have disintegrated long ago. The excessive pursuit of the weight of the fighter was as light as possible, which made the fuselage structure of the Japanese Zero fighter very fragile. In air combat, if you move too much, it is easy to disintegrate on its own.

The carrier-based aircraft unit of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army, although it was the first time it had fought with the Japanese Zero fighters. However, instead of falling into the disadvantage, it has the upper hand.

The myth of the Zero fighter has indeed been shattered.
