Chapter 917: Snatching the Zero Fighter
On the evening of September 13, the Korean house on Fukaisen Road.
"Boss, Director Chen sent an order from the commission, this morning, the Japanese army sent bombers to bomb Shancheng again, and the Shancheng government air force dispatched fighters to meet the battle, but they were completely defeated in the battle with the Japanese escort fighters, and the losses were extremely heavy."
"According to the pilot's description, the Japanese used a new fighter that had never been seen before, with performance and firepower, which completely surpassed the Soviet fighter used by the Air Force, and the Aviation Committee requested the intelligence services to investigate the situation."
"The commission attaches great importance to this, and orders the second division of the attendant office to notify the special services, the Military Command Bureau, and the Central Command Bureau, and all intelligence personnel, to find out the situation of this Japanese fighter as soon as possible, so as to prevent similar fiascos." Li Peiyue said.
This morning, the Japanese naval and air air force dispatched 36 bombers, escorted by 13 fighters, to prepare to bomb the mountain castle again. The 3rd and 4th Battalions of the Shancheng Government Air Force were notified that 25 IL-15 and 9 IL-16 fighters had taken off from the Taipingsi airfield in Rongcheng to prepare for a surprise attack on the Japanese bomber group with a high-altitude advantage.
The two sides met in the sky over Bishan, and the Air Force's I-15 and I-16 fighters thought that they would occupy an advantageous altitude of about 5,000 meters and would be able to catch the Japanese bombers, but they did not expect that the Japanese fighters had better performance, and they swooped down from a height of nearly 7,000 meters, instantly disrupting the battle formation of the Chinese Air Force.
The Yamashiro government air force not only failed to shoot down a single enemy plane, but was shot down by 34 fighters against the 13 Japanese fighters, and another 11 were destroyed during a forced landing, 10 pilots were bloodied, nine pilots were wounded, and only three Japanese fighters were damaged.
The result of 24 to 0 became the most tragic battle of the Yamashiro government air force during the Anti-Japanese War.
The Zero Fighter is here!
Han Lin immediately thought of the famous Zero fighter, which is the main carrier-based fighter of the Japanese Navy, which can reach a speed of 533 kilometers per hour, has a range of more than 2,200 kilometers in its own fuel tank, and can reach more than 3,300 kilometers in the suspension auxiliary fuel tank.
The zero fuselage is a lightweight structure, made of Sumitomo's super-hard aluminum alloy, light weight, sealed bubble-shaped cockpit, using large pieces of transparent glass, forming a large field of view cockpit, so that the pilot has a good front and rear vision, the first fully enclosed retractable landing gear, the first time for the pilot equipped with electric thermal flight suits, large-caliber machine guns, constant-speed propellers, disposable large auxiliary fuel tanks and other equipment.
The disadvantages of the Zero fighter are also obvious, it does not solve the problem of high-speed dive, which may lead to disintegration, and the Rong 12 engine used is designed with a floating carburetor, which is easy to cause the engine to stall when diving at high speed. In order to reduce weight, self-sealing fuel tanks and any automatic fire extinguishing devices were not installed, and the pilot did not have armor protection, and a bullet on the surface of the fuselage could cause the aircraft to catch fire.
However, Han Lin couldn't tell the Shancheng government that the source of intelligence was a problem.
"You notify Luo Yunshan immediately, come to see me immediately, forget it, I'll go to the base tomorrow to have a look, and explain the task to them in person!" Han Lin thought for a while and said.
When he saw the Taipingsi Airport in the message, he suddenly remembered something.
I once read a secret story during the Anti-Japanese War, which is a true record, not long after the end of the Bishan air battle, the pilot of the Japanese Zero fighter, once relied on the high performance of the fighter, unscrupulously landed at the Taiheongsi Airport, used machine guns to strafe the airport buildings, and then swaggered to take off, humiliating the air force of the Yamashiro government, this incident is also called the shame of the Yamashiro government air force.
The army stationed at the airport did not have time to react at all, the rifle in hand, the shooting accuracy was also very problematic, but what about the sniper with a sniper rifle equipped with armor-piercing shells? The fighter planes of the World War II era, especially the cabin of the Zero fighter, used a bubble design, and the glass used was all thickened glass, not bulletproof glass, which could not block German-made armor-piercing shells.
Han Lin's plan is to send snipers to set up an ambush at Taipingsi Airport, kill the pilot of the plane, and it is estimated that it will be a bit difficult to obtain a complete plane, but it is also unknown to obtain a part of the wreckage.
Sheshan base.
When I chose this place, the environment here in the picture is relatively hidden, and it looks like a small mountain village from the outside, and the precautions are extremely strict, so it has not been discovered by the Japanese pseudo-people.
Han Lin came with Tang Ying, and accompanied the beautiful woman to Sheshan to enjoy the mountains and rivers, which is a very good reason and usually does not arouse suspicion. In September, it is also suitable for going out, and the temperature is not so high.
"You are going to the Taipingsi Airport in Rongcheng this time to carry out a special mission, in order to avoid revealing your identity in the early stage, you will be stationed in the name of the inspection team, cover up the sniper rifles, and after arriving at the airport, carefully check the commanding heights around the runway and carry armor-piercing bullets."
"According to the information I have gotten, the Japanese plane may raid the Taipingsi airport, and may even land, there is a great uncertainty in the information, at this time, I would rather believe it than not, anyway, we have nothing to lose, so we should go to Rongcheng for a vacation."
"You rush to Quzhou as soon as possible, I will contact the plane to send you to Rongcheng, this task is top secret, I will ask Cao Jiandong to provide the necessary assistance, build a camouflaged hangar in advance, with sandbags as the base, the top is covered with iron plates, and also prepare fire trucks to extinguish fires, usually fighter jets do not carry bombs, ready trucks to tow."
"If you have a chance to kill the Japanese pilot, immediately tow the plane to the hangar, pay attention, the Japanese plane will inevitably strafe wildly, I don't want you to capture a plane completely, but get as much wreckage as possible, this is of great significance for us to fight the Japanese army in the future." Han Lin said.
"How dare enemy planes land at the airfield? This is so arrogant! Descending to the ground, the fire of the defending forces was increased, and the planes could withstand the strafing of heavy machine guns? If we can bring in a few anti-aircraft guns, our success rate will be even greater. Luo Yunshan said.
He was very confident in the accuracy of his sniper team, even if the Japanese plane was on the move, it would not escape the sniper killing, but this incident was too unbelievable, the pilot of the Japanese plane was so crazy, attacking the airfield at the same time, but also landing at the enemy's airfield, strafing a circle and then taking off.
"No, the target of the anti-aircraft artillery is too big, once the anti-aircraft artillery moves, it may have to startle the snake, and the alert troops at the airport cannot be notified in advance, I don't know how many Japanese spies are hiding in Shancheng and Rongcheng, and they detect that the anti-aircraft artillery has arrived at the Taipingsi airport, or if the airport has changed, the Japanese planes will not dare to come."
"I don't know if the Japanese planes will land at the Taipingsi Airport, but if there is the slightest possibility, we will fight for it." Han Lin shook his head and said.
In order to be able to grasp this opportunity, he had to consider all the possibilities in advance, so that the Japanese pilots could get an environment that humiliated the Yamashiro government's air force.
