Chapter Seventy-Eight: Large-scale Fleet Operations
This time, the devils seem to have made a bloody investment and sent so many fighters to intercept them, although they knew that the Fury fighters of the Eighth Route Army were very powerful, and the long-range bombers were not easy to mess with.
Li Yunlong saw that there was a group of small black dots approaching at three o'clock in front of him, but he became excited, only to see him sweet-mouthed, and said with a smile: "Little devil, there is a way in heaven that you don't go, and there is no door to hell You have to come, today Lao Tzu will use long-range bombers to shoot down a few planes to raise the prestige of our Eighth Route Army!" ”
The pilots in the cockpit, they know very well what kind of person Commander Li is, he is really the master who dares to show his sword, and now he wants to use the long-range bomber as a heavy fighter, but this is fine, as long as it is a little devil, who can refuse.
The pilots of the Allied forces and the pilots of the Air Force were secretly excited when they saw so many fighters coming from the little devils, and this time there was an unexpected gain, they knew that the firepower of the long-range bombers was very strong, so they were not afraid of encountering the fighters of the little devils.
These fighters are the Type 97 carrier-based fighters of the Devil Navy, this kind of fighter uses 970 horsepower engines, but the maximum take-off weight reaches 4.1 tons, so the flight speed is not very fast, only 370 kilometers per hour.
If the long-range bomber breaks away at full speed, these fighters will not be able to catch up, but this time it is obvious that the pilots of the long-range bombers are not ready to leave the battlefield, they know the power of the long-range bomber, so they want to have fun with the little devil's fighters.
The high-altitude performance of these devil fighters is naturally not comparable to that of the Fury fighters, because they are actually strictly attack aircraft, so seeing these devil fighters coming, Duan Yunpeng also notified everyone on the radio and prepared to fight.
Now these Type 97 carrier-based fighters are trying to climb, because the Allied fleet is much higher than them.
At this time, the speed of the devil's Type 97 carrier-based fighter has dropped a lot due to climbing, and now it is only about 300 kilometers per hour, which is extremely slow.
The furious fighters all pounced, like tigers in a pack of wolves.
The melee began, and several Type 97 carrier-based fighters were beaten into smoke by the Fury fighters within a minute.
And some of the eyeless Type 97 carrier-based fighters thought that long-range bombers were easy to deal with, but when they found that they were approaching, suddenly these long-range bombers, under the belly, broke out a strong attack, and dense bullets were fired at them, no, this is not a machine gun, it should be a machine gun.
The fighter pilots of the devil found that this time they had kicked the iron plate, and the enemy's bomber firepower was too strong, and several Type 97 carrier-based fighters were blown up in the first wave, and one of them was blown up by Li Yunlong himself.
Li Yunlong will not be polite, the 14.5mm machine gun bullet is sprayed out as if he doesn't need money, the unlucky devil fighter pilot, how did he not expect that he met Li Yunlong, so he died unjustly, the cockpit was blown up, and this little devil was naturally crushed.
The battle was fierce, but the situation was always on the side of the Allies, and after the first wave of attacks, the Devil's fighters lost more than a dozen aircraft, while the Allies were intact.
Now the pilots of the Allied forces have finally seen the power of the Kunpeng No. 1 long-range bomber, and when facing a fighter with poor performance, they don't need to be nervous at all, they just need to cover the opponent with powerful firepower.
Now the carrier-based fighter pilots of the devils have discovered the problem, they have given up continuing the frontal confrontation and climbed to the other side, wanting to take advantage of the altitude and dive down to attack the long-range bombers, which is obviously an important target for them.
Those Agni fighters, they have no way to fight at all, they can only find long-range bombers to fight.
It's just that Duan Qupeng won't be fooled, in order to ensure the safety of the long-range bombers of the Allied Forces and the Air Force, he immediately notified them to leave the battlefield, and then the Eighth Route Army will deal with the devils.
But how could the pilots of the Allied forces and the air force be obedient, they wanted to shoot down a few more devil fighters and make a contribution.
So they deliberately lured the devil fighters to come, and twenty or thirty devil Type 97 carrier-based fighters swooped down from a higher place in the flanks and rear, and came towards the long-range bombers.
At this time, on the back of the long-range bomber, the machine gunner opened fire.
The advantage of the 14.5mm Gatling machine gun is very obvious, because the firepower is too strong, so those devil fighters who swooped down pulled up one after another, but their speed was too slow, and several Type 97 carrier-based fighters were beaten into the air.
Duan Qupeng was also relieved to see that our long-range bombers were all firing and none of them were lost.
At this time, he saw a Type 97 carrier-based fighter and rushed over.
Duan Qupeng hurriedly instructed the machine gunner to fire, and Zhang Xia also controlled the plane and flew normally.
At this time, the devil's Type 97 carrier-based fighter was hit by a bullet in the wing, although it was said that this guy was shot, but he rushed down without his life, obviously wanting to die together.
How could Duan Qupeng give the devil this opportunity, he hurriedly asked Zhang Xia to increase the throttle, the acceleration of this long-range bomber is good, and the speed suddenly increased from three hundred to more than five hundred, so the devil fighter rushed over without his life, but it missed.
And because it rushed too fast, the injured part of the wing was torn apart, and suddenly this devil fighter rushed to the ground.
From time to time, planes were shot down, but luckily, the planes that fell were planes with the sun on their wings.
The devil's fighter pilots, seeing that the general situation was not good, some escaped, some were desperate, and they didn't want to crash into the allied planes, but it was also in vain, and the powerful firepower made the devil fighters have no chance to get close at all.
About half an hour later, the battle was over, more than fifty Devil's fighters were shot down, and more than forty ran away.
This time, the long-range bombers alone shot down more than 20 Devil fighters, and the Fury fighters shot down more than 30 fighters.
It must be said that it was a very successful operation, and after completing the mission and repelling the group of fighters of the devils, the group flew back in the direction of the arsenal.
Soon, those long-range bombers of the Allied forces and the Air Force said goodbye to Duan Qupeng and them because they were going back to their bases.
When Duan Qupeng and the others returned to the airport, the whole scene was boiling.
