Chapter 494, Rizhao Air Battle.
After getting out of the car, Jiang Qiang nodded at everyone and smiled: "What are you doing with such a big battle, I'm just here to see you today!" Li Jinglin said with a smile: "The head seat has all the opportunities, and I can take time to come here, our base is full of brilliance, so naturally we must come to line up to greet and talk about my heart!" Liu Qingyuan answered: "Yes, now the little devil is so tightly blockaded on us, but the head seat can break through the devil's blockade line and get the plane back,......"
"That's right! The total seat is vast, and it makes people look up to the mountains! "The sea sails by the helmsman, all things grow by the sun, and the general seat is our red sun, which shines brightly in our hearts!" "The head seat loves soldiers like children, follow the head seat, we are full of confidence and strength!" Driven by the rhythm of the two bigwigs, middle-level officers such as Li Tao and Wei Lei spared no effort to pat themselves on the back!
"Alright, alright, don't fix those useless ones! You are fighting bloody battles in the front, and I, as a commander, will do the logistics supply of weapons and equipment for you, which is both appropriate and necessary! Jiang Qiang was embarrassed when he heard it, and waved his hand again and again to stop everyone from praising it.
Turning his head and glancing at the vast and magnificent air base, remembering that two years ago this was still a barren mountain and wilderness, Jiang Qiang's heart was full of a sense of accomplishment, and he nodded with satisfaction: "Now you are doing a good job here, but don't be proud, there is intelligence that the Japanese devils are also vigorously strengthening the construction of the air force, not only importing a lot of fighter jets from the United States, but also stepping up production and manufacturing in Japan!"
The little devil has now switched to a wartime system, and a very powerful energy will inevitably explode in the short term! If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, you must be ready to fight at any time! Li Jinglin replied solemnly: "All the officers and men of our Flying Tigers dare not slack off, and they are always preparing to fight to the death with the little devils, and will never let the little devils and devils air force spread wild on our territory!" ”
"There's still an hour left, and while it's still early, you guys will walk around with me!" After chatting for a while, Jiang Qiang began to inspect the air base to brush up his presence. At about 2:10 p.m., a motor hum was heard southeast of the air base, and when I looked up, I saw a dense black dot flying at full speed.
Needless to say, this is the door-to-door delivery from Shanghai. Soon, 150 P-38 fighters and 100 trainer planes landed on the tarmac of the air base one after another, neatly lined up in a phalanx, which looked extremely eye-catching and spectacular. And the pilots of those aircraft left directly in two large helicopters.
"Wow, Boss, this is the P-38 fighter you talked about in the United States, right? It looks so exciting! "yes, that's handsome!" "Hehe, with these 150 fighters, our total number of fighters is as high as 800!" "Boss, can you give us a test drive first?"
Li Jinglin and the others' eyes lit up, and they were suddenly excited. Not to mention the performance, just looking at the handsome personality of the twin engines and tails supporting the twin turbines and being larger than the Mustang fighter gives people a riotous visual impact.
Jiang Qiang introduced with a smile: "That's right, this is the P-38 heavy fighter, with a length of 11.6 meters, a wingspan of 15.9 meters, a height of 3 meters, an empty weight of 5,820 kilograms, a practical ceiling of 13,400 meters, and a maximum speed of 667 km / h, which is 40 kilometers faster than the Mustang fighter!" The biggest advantage is heavy armor, high speed, and strong firepower, and the biggest disadvantage is that the performance of hovering and dog fighting is relatively poor,...... "In air combat with machine guns or cannons as the main weapon, the hostile fighters of the two degrees try to enter the area of the opponent's tail to aim and shoot.
This process is like two dogs frolicking, chasing each other and biting each other's tails, so the fighter fights or grappling are figuratively called dog fights. Dogfighting was the main form of fighter air combat in World War I and World War II, where missiles did not appear. Although the P-38 is suitable for interception and escort missions, it is less suitable for tasks such as attacks on enemy fighters.
But the P-38 with two engines had more speed, could climb better, could easily get rid of the tail chase of the Zero, and could barely fly back even if one of the engines was broken. Coupled with the advantages of high heavy armor defense, the P-38 has a very high safety factor, and it can completely compete with the little devil air force.
In fact, the main thing is that you don't need to exchange supplies for them, you can buy them directly in dollars! "Wow, $115,000 a one? Haha, not bad, not bad! "You get what you pay for, after all, the tonnage is there, and this P-38 weighs twice as much as the P51!" "Needless to say, what can be worse than what can make the head seat look good?" "Boss, can you let us have a good time now?"
Although Jiang Qiang looked down on these bulky guys in his heart, Li Jinglin and the others listened to it with drooling, except for Jiang Qiang who mentioned that the hovering and dog fighting were a little worse, they were not satisfied in other aspects. "Good! Fill up the gas first, then get on the plane to familiarize yourself with the operating system, and then try to take off to practice when you are almost done. Looking at everyone's hungry and thirsty expressions, Jiang Qiang couldn't help but feel excited, and immediately waved his hand: "Remember, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, you all have to be careful, after all, it is a new model, and it takes a lot of adaptation!" By the way, leave me one, and I'll go up for a ride later! ”
"Howler!" "Order!" "Come on, hurry up and fill us up with oil." "Brothers, rush!" With Jiang Qiang's permission, Li Jinglin and the others screamed with excitement, and ran away without saying a word. These guys completely ignored the pilots who were extremely red-eyed, and all of them did fake public and personal things by relying on the official ranks, and they all wanted to taste what this heavy fighter was like for the first time.
Jiang Qiang did the same, after the first P-38 fighter was refueled, he got into the cabin and carefully studied the control panel. Boom, as the sound of the powerful and rough engine sounded in his ears, the fuselage began to tremble incessantly, and the P-38 fighter jet sprinted wildly along the flat concrete runway. When the plane reached a certain speed, Jiang Qiang pulled up the operating stick and the fighter began to raise its head and rise into the air, and after a while, it flew to an altitude of 100 meters.
Pushing the throttle to the maximum, the speed soared rapidly, and there was a strong and incomparable feeling of back pushing behind him, Jiang someone's adrenaline soared, and he enjoyed the speed and passion in the meeting. Constantly climbing, it didn't take long to climb to an altitude of 7,000 meters, and the P-38, with a speed of up to 600 kilometers per hour, was like a silver dragon, jubilant in the blue sky and white clouds.
Similarly, Li Jinglin, Liu Qingyuan, Li Tao, Wei Lei, and others also helped to take off into the air, and 150 fighter planes blossomed in all directions, churning up and down the heavens and the earth and roaming happily. After a while, Jiang Qiang gradually got better, not to mention that he was proficient in mastering all the operational performance of the P-38 fighter, but at least there was no sense of jerky. After 20 minutes, Jiang Qiang felt a little bored, so he pressed the nose of the plane and prepared to return to the air base.
However, at this moment, Jiang Qiang suddenly noticed that a group of small black dots appeared in front of him. After the delivery to the door in Shanghai, Jiang Qiang saw this famous "Lightning" fighter in World War II, and his heart was itchy for a while, so he was excited to fill up gasoline. However, I never thought that the P-38 fighter was too fast, and his own defense area was too small, and Yang Fan, who was intoxicated with speed and passion, accidentally flew into the airspace of the Japanese-occupied area.
Coincidentally, no book is written, just when the passion feels boring, Jiang Qiang suddenly discovers the situation. "Holy shit, ran into a little devil plane? Hehe, I was really lucky today! Although the other party was far away, with his keen intuition, Jiang Qiang knew that the group of planes flying in front of him was definitely not his own plane. Immediately shouted on the radio communication channel:
"Attention, attention! I found a group of devil planes in the sky over Linyi County, and all the Flying Tigers fighters in the nearby airspace immediately approached me! Get ready for battle! "Don't be impulsive!" "Please return to the command, let's go!" "Yes, Mr. Za, it's so easy to encounter such a good thing, just give us the opportunity!" Hearing Jiang Qiang's excited voice, Li Jinglin, Liu Qingyuan and others knew that they were going to have bad dishes, and their old mistakes were about to be made again.
"Don't give me nonsense, if you want to join the war, hurry over and start a group, otherwise hurry home and nurse the baby! In addition, the ground air defense forces were immediately informed not to open fire, and they would have to kill them all today. "If you don't meet it, forget it, but the fat in front of you, Jiang Qiang will not let it go easily. Although it was the first time to fly a P-38 fighter today, Jiang Qiang was not intimidated at all, but was itchy and made up his mind to reap a wave of ruthlessness.
The reason why Jiang Qiang dared to make such waves was not because he was too long-lived, but because he relied on two things: First, there were only about 30 little devil planes, and there should be three flying squadrons. According to normal reasoning, these devil planes are here to fight harassment wars or serve as bait, and they are not very threatening. Second, the P-38 heavy fighter has better protection than the Flying Eagle 3 fighter, although the maneuverability is much worse, but in the home battle, as long as it does not fall into the encirclement and gives the devil fighter a chance to fight in close quarters, the safety is still very guaranteed.
"Wait for us! Coming soon! "Roger!" "Roger!"
Seeing that Jiang Qiang could not be moved, Li Jinglin and the others could only sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman, and pushed the accelerator to the maximum one after another, and flew in the direction of Rizhao at the fastest speed. "Everyone, listen up, today we are just a combat exercise, don't rush forward at will, let alone go deep into the hinterland alone, and choose the opportunity to fight when encountering the interception of the Huaxia fleet."
"There are not only radar stations in the defense area of the Jiaodong Group Army, but also very powerful ground air defense artillery, I wonder if our current whereabouts have been detected by the Huaxia radar station!" "So be sure to watch and listen to all directions, and carefully observe the surrounding situation, this is not the previous national control area, you can let the Imperial Air Force gallop across the country!" "Once you find that there are too many Huaxia aircraft groups, don't fall in love with the battle, and withdraw from the battle immediately!"
"Everyone cheered up, didn't want to be put in a box and sent back to Japan, just remember what I just said!" Toru Nishida, the captain of the Devil Flying Clan, piloted a Zero fighter and brought the flight team of his headquarters to the Shandong Peninsula for military training, and kept shouting on the team's communication channel to remind the recruits under his command. These devil pilots have not only received serious training in Japan, but have also carried out many flight missions in the Kokutong region.
Toru Nishida was originally the captain of the HNA squadron, and was promoted to captain of the newly formed Japanese Air Force only a month and a half ago, and today Toru Nishida led the team to the Shandong Peninsula to provoke and harass, but it was not a whim to die, but the actual combat training task assigned above, and he wanted to borrow the whetstone of the Flying Tigers to train his troops and train his courage! Although it is said that the firepower of the air defense units of the Shandong Group Army is very strong, after all, it is only antiaircraft guns, not precision-guided missiles, and the hit rate can only rely on faith, and the deterrent effect is far greater than the actual combat effect.
This also made the little devil think, let the recruits come to feel what it is like to be intercepted by anti-aircraft artillery fire when crossing the line of fire. As for whether the Shandong Army Flying Tigers will come to intercept, the devil's idea is also very simple, if there are more comes, they will run, and if they come less, they will fight, anyway, the devil's air force is in Baoding, and they can take off for reinforcements at any time.
"Hello!" "Thank you seniors for your advice, we all remember!" "Great Japanese Air Force onboard!"
A group of devil pilots responded loudly with great excitement, not feeling nervous or scared at all, even if today's opponent was the powerful Tiger Army Flying Tigers. In response to this sentence "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", these devil pilots have just joined the army, and they have not yet participated in decent air fighting, but they have received very systematic and strict training, and have participated in several flight combat missions, and their self-confidence is very strong, and they have long wanted to really fight hard to prove their ability!
"Little devil, if you have a kind, come and chase me!" Seeing the devil planes flying in groups, Jiang Qiang naturally did not rush up stupidly and send people to the head directly, but played the drama of casting a long line to catch a big fish. Jiang Qiang hurriedly turned the nose of the plane to descend the flight altitude, pretending to meet a hasty retreat by chance, and flew in the direction of Zhaoyuan without being fast or slow. Originally, due to the long distance, the target of a fighter plane was very small, and there were clouds covering it, so the fighter piloted by Jiang Qiang was not discovered by the devils.
But with such a toss, the distance between the enemy and us was suddenly narrowed in a lot, and a small black dot quickly turned into a huge shadow. "Nani? Is that the new fighter of the Huaxia Air Force? "It's probably a rookie who has just learned to fly a fighter jet!" "Yaga! Chase him down and shoot him down! "Yo Si! Dead, dead, dead! The riotous P-38 heavy fighter, Huo Ran appeared in the field of vision of the devil pilot, and the little devils suddenly seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, and they were so excited.
In particular, the three devil fighters who rushed to the front pushed the throttle valve without thinking too much, and accelerated their flight speed to chase and kill the "rookie" who was fleeing in a hurry. "The rest of the planes keep attacking, don't rush too aggressively, maybe this is a trick to lure the enemy!"
Toru Nishida did not stop the Japanese fighters who were going to pursue, and at the same time, he did not let all the fighters rush up, but continued to advance towards the Tiger Ben military defense area, which was getting closer and closer. As for whether the three fighters pursuing in front would fall into an ambush or even be shot down on the spot, Toru Nishida did not care, because this was actual combat training and allowed a certain percentage of casualties.
If that happens, it's probably the cost of teaching. "Shoot!" "Die to the Huaxia plane!" "Dead, dead!"
After chasing forward for a while, it felt that the Huaxia plane had entered the effective range, and the devil fighter pilot immediately pressed the fire control switch and fired wildly! Da da da, a string of caliber ammunition instantly shot out of the chamber, turning into a stream of blue light in the air, and slammed into the tail of Yang Fan's car with a fierce killing machine.
Jiang Qiang had long expected that the devil would be impatient to fire at him, so naturally he would not be stupidly beaten in a straight line, because even if the key parts of the P-38 fighter had bulletproof armor, it could not withstand the crazy shooting of bullets. At the moment when the devil fired, Yang Fan had a premonition of the threat, and immediately pulled the nose of the plane to climb up.
Buzzing, the powerful dual motors are full of power, and they climb up a lot in three or two clicks, easily avoiding the firepower of the devil fighters.
"Yaga!" "Keep chasing!" "Don't die yet!"
A round of fire failed, and the three devils who pursued Yang Fan flew in a rage, and immediately pulled up the nose of the plane to continue to chase and fire wildly. Jiang Qiang continued to operate the snakeskin position show, and gradually increased the speed of throttle lifting, but under the dense firepower of the devil, he could not completely avoid the rain of bullets, and after a while, more than a dozen bullet holes were punched.
"Yo Si! Well done! "Don't let him escape!" "Keep shooting! Beat him up! ”
After a frenzied chase and bite, they finally hit the fleeing Huaxia fighters, and the three little devil pilots couldn't help but be greatly encouraged and continued to bite their tails frantically in pursuit. Jiang Qiang continued to "run for his life" to tempt the little devil to pursue, and after six or seven minutes, he entered the sky above Juxian, and at this time, there was a buzzing of the motor in the distance.
Thinking with his toes, Jiang Qiang could guess that this was the arrival of his own reinforcements. In order to avoid startling the snake, Jiang Qiang immediately shouted on the communication channel: "I have entered the sky above Juxian, and there are three devil planes chasing behind me, don't worry, wait for me to lead the little devil group forward, and outflank and annihilate!" ”
"Roger!" "Roger!" "Stay safe!" "Let's do it together when we get there!"
Li Jinglin and the others hurriedly replied, and quietly launched a large encirclement according to Jiang Qiang's order. "Everyone has obeyed the order and has entered the airspace of the Shandong Group Army Defense Zone, everyone must be careful and be ready to retreat at any time! 134,138,139 Stop the pursuit! ”
Toru Nishida had previously experienced the anti-aircraft artillery fire of the Shandong Group Army and the power of the Flying Tigers, and at this time he had the courage to follow into the defense area of the Shandong Group Army, but this time he was not intercepted by artillery fire, and everything seemed extremely quiet, as if he had entered a no-man's land. The more this happened, the more uneasy Nishida felt in his heart, and hurriedly asked the team pilot to slow down, and at the same time ordered the three fighters in charge of the pursuit to return to the queue.
It's no wonder that Nishida Toru is so cautious, after all, the lessons of the previous car are vivid, and this time he led a team to come here to train and train his courage, not to send people thousands of miles away. "Hello!" The three devil pilots who rushed to the front, although they were unwilling, were very disciplined, and when they gave up the pursuit, they began to slow down the turn.
"Huh! Why don't these little devils chase after them? Jiang Qiang also wanted to continue to lead forward, let the little devil eat the hook, and then eat all the little devils, but unexpectedly, the little devil was very alert, and he stopped after chasing more than 20 kilometers into the defense area.
"The devil wants to run! Close the net now! Seeing this, Jiang Qiang was not verbose, and immediately turned the nose of the plane and began to chase back. Brothers! Surround it! "Kill!" Hearing the order, Li Jinglin and the others quickly narrowed the encirclement and swooped towards the devil flying team at the fastest speed.
Buzzing, as the amount of fuel increases, the powerful motor emits a piercing hum, and one after another heavy fighters full of noise break through the clouds, and soon appear in the field of vision of the devil fighter group.
"Yaga! Retreat now! Hurry up and drop! "Seeing a black dot flying in the distance, Nishida Toru immediately knew that he was being targeted, and he didn't dare to fight with the Flying Tigers here, so he hurriedly ordered the troops to quickly turn around and return." Hello! Seeing a group of Chinese fighter jets coming violently, where did the devil pilot dare to stay longer, and began to turn around in a hurry.
"Holy shit, weren't you chasing it just now? Why are you running away with your tail between your legs now? After adjusting the nose of the aircraft, Jiang Qiang realized that the three devil fighters chasing him just now had already flown far away, and he could only see three small black dots.
However, Jiang can eat anything, but he never eats it, and he must not take a few bullets in vain today. Without the slightest hesitation, Jiang Qiang pushed the throttle to the maximum, and after a short acceleration, he reached a top speed of 666 kilometers per hour. The Devil Zero fighter is not slow, and the top speed can reach 533.4 km/h, but it is still a lot worse than the top speed of the P-38.
After five or six minutes of wild pursuit, Jiang Qiang finally bit a devil fighter, and when he further rushed into the effective range, he directly pressed the fire control switch without any extra action. Bang bang The 20 mm cannon and four Browning 0.5-inch machine guns spewed out tongues of fire at the same time, marking blue light in mid-air, and unreasonably bombarded the devil fighters.
A moment later, I saw that the wing of the devil was directly broken, and puffs of smoke came out immediately. The fighter lost its balance, and the devil pilot could not continue to control it effectively, so he could only let the plane continue to roll in the air and accept the fate of death. There is no way, the Japanese especially admire the spirit of bushido, and the spirit of bushido is not afraid of death.
Poisoned by the spirit of bushido, the devil pilots have iron heads, and they think that they have entered the battle, then they have already made preparations to throw their lives away, and if they escape, they have turned their backs on their identity as a samurai. It is also a shame for them to escape, so when they encounter a forced landing or encounter a problem with the plane, they will not choose to parachute, but will only use their lives to express their beliefs.
"His Majesty the Emperor is onboard! Great Japanese Empire onboard! "In a short time, the devil pilot ended his life with a hissing roar, and the fighter jet was landed into a box and turned into a blazing fireball." Where to run! "After getting the first kill, Jiang Qiang is still angry, and continues to chase wildly!" Brothers, kill! "Wait for us!"
Li Jinglin and the others pursued frantically, and finally bit the tail of the devil group near Taierzhuang, and there was no room for negotiation to directly open firepower, and frantically fire at the group of devil fighters who quickly escaped.
Da-da-da-da! Bang bang bang! Strings of caliber ammunition rained down without money, and dense caliber ammunition bombarded the devil group with endless killing intent.
