Chapter 31: The Battle of Nakajo Mountain

Seeing that his own dive bomber formation had successfully cleared most of the enemy's anti-aircraft fire points, Ishida Reizo suddenly couldn't sit still.

This battle is important to him, after all, it involves the path to promotion in the future. No one wants to go home empty-handed, let alone watch two types of bombers take all the credit.

"All squadrons! Give up the vigilance mission now! โ€

"The enemy will not have air support, now is our hunting time, don't let the Ninety-Seven Heavy Explosion finish the job!"

As soon as the words fell, Ishida Reizo took the lead and broke away from the formation.

Like a vulture hunting, he flew down from 2,500 meters in the air in a Type 97 fighter.

The arrogant devil Nakasa first blew up an artillery position with four 25-kilogram bombs, and then used two machine guns to fire wildly at the trench below.

The other 35 Type 97 fighters did the same, and they gave up their altitude to follow in the footsteps of Ishida Reizo.

But at this moment, hundreds of strange planes appeared in the blue sky. Most of them are advanced monoplane fighters, interspersed with more than 30 biplane fighters.

"Arrive at the main battlefield and look at enemy aircraft! All crews are combat-ready. โ€

For the officers and men of the Ninth Army, the new arrivals made them completely desperate. With such a gap in combat power, the army commander Pei Changhui is even already thinking about which troops to send to the queen.

"Commander! Not right! Those fighters were divided into two groups, and they all went for the devils! โ€

"Look! It's an ally! All allies! Those biplane fighters are called fighters, and I've seen them on the battlefield before! โ€

The words of his chief of staff made Pei Chang like a lightning strike, and he picked up the telescope as soon as he started to observe. As his subordinates said, the indiscriminate friendly forces have already begun to dive into the devil's plane.

After a few seconds, the commander's expression became very complicated. He tapped his steel helmet with some puzzlement, and then said to the staff officers beside him:

"It's strange, I see that there is neither a blue sky nor a white sun on those planes, nor a devil's ointment flag."

"I didn't hear from air support before the war, so where did these friendly forces come from? Could it be that Yan Laoxi's Jin Suijun secretly hid a hand? โ€

Pei Changhui didn't think about the Eighth Route Army at all, after all, the two sides had a big quarrel some time ago, not to mention that the Air Force could not be formed.

"My army commander, what are you still struggling with at this point?"

"It doesn't matter what side he is, as long as it's an ally. Shall we fight or withdraw? Hurry up and give the order! โ€

After being interrupted by his subordinates, Pei Chang glared at the chief of staff with some dissatisfaction. He pulled out his matching gun and slapped it on the ammunition box, and then said domineeringly:

"The barrels of the guns of the Japanese are all on our heads! What the are you running! Now, if we are cowardly, all of our troops will be driven into the Yellow River by devils! โ€

"Tell the brethren! We've got reinforcements! Even if we die today, we will die on the battlefield! If anyone dares to take a step back, they will be dealt with directly by military law! โ€

Although he was only the commander of the miscellaneous army, Pei Chang graduated from the Baoding Army Military Academy, and he saw the situation in front of him very clearly.

Even if you want to retreat, you have to resist or even repel a wave first. Otherwise, he will definitely be bitten by the devil, and when the time comes, he will be able to leave one division and be considered capable.

"Good!"

ยทยทยทยทยท

Ishida Reizo did not live up to the name of the Kwantung Army, and this old devil did not forget to observe the environment of the battlefield when attacking the ground. When the strange plane appeared at high altitude, he immediately picked up the communicator and shouted:

"Attention the whole team, spot the enemy! More than a hundred! โ€

"Except for the fighter fighter, the rest of the models and performance are unknown, and it is suspected that all of them are fighters! Everybody pull up the heights! Get ready to take on the enemy! Cover the bomber swarm! โ€

Although the height and number of their own formation are at an absolute disadvantage, the devils have no fear, they are confident in their fighters and piloting skills.

In the eyes of Xiao Ri, the pilots of the Republic of China have long been interrupted. Except for the flying team that came to China's aid, no one was their opponent.

Even if an enemy plane appears on the battlefield, it must be a rookie who cannot even guarantee the flight time.

In the face of such a weak chicken, there is no need to seize the advantageous firing position at all. With arrogance alone, you can make the enemy's operational deformation lose its advantage.

The reaction of the devils exceeded Wang Hai's expectations, he didn't expect the other party to be so iron-headed. Rao is this combat hero who usually does not smile, and at this time he also showed a sarcastic expression.

In the current war situation, the 1st Air Division occupies an absolute advantage, after all, all air battles during World War II are inseparable from the combination of altitude + speed + firepower.

All tactics have evolved from the simplest maneuver of diving, and it can be said that height is speed, and speed represents life.

"It seems that the devils haven't figured out the situation yet, so the flight instructor and honor student will come with me. We're responsible for taking out the flies that escort us and opening up a way for the novices to attack. โ€

"Today we're going to show the little devil whose airspace is here."

"We are in a high-energy state, so use B&Z tactics and don't give the enemy a chance to fight back!"

Energy in air combat refers to the sum of the kinetic energy and potential energy of the aircraft, the kinetic energy is determined by the speed of the aircraft, and the potential energy is determined by the flight altitude.

Kinetic energy and potential energy can be converted into each other, but it takes time and there is a certain amount of loss.

The side with the upper energy can take advantage of the angle faster, and can also use low-cost maneuvers to drain the opponent's energy and force the enemy into a Jedi.

In air combat, energy is everything.

B&Z tactics are based on this theory, and it is a very brainless but very effective way of playing.

The whole tactical process, simply put, is a high-altitude dive attack, pulling up whether you hit or not, and avoiding any long battles by immediately returning to altitude.

As long as you have an altitude advantage, the opponent must warp the plane if you want to fight back, and doing so is prone to stalling.

And not only can you easily select a target, but it also makes aiming a lot easier.

In short, you can't hit me, and I can blast you from multiple angles. You only get one chance, and my trial and error cost almost nothing.

As for Captain Wang Hai's failure to let ordinary graduates participate in dog fights, it was entirely out of the psychology of protecting them.

Air combat in this era now, without radar and air-to-air guided missiles. Aviation machine guns and cannons are the key to solving the battle. Pilots must fly the aircraft while searching for the enemy with the naked eye.

This is a bit like hand-to-hand combat with bayonets, and it is not too much to say that it is a meat grinder, and it is a great test of the pilot's psychological quality and on-the-spot performance.

When fighting the enemy in the air at eye range, the devil should not be as merciful as the instructor in the aviation school.

The first time I went to the battlefield, I had to fight with the pilots of the Army Airlines, which was more or less reluctant for a pure novice.

Instead of giving away those precious seeds for nothing, let them attack the less threatening bombers and accumulate some experience for future battles.

In the radio communication channel, Captain Wang Hai looked at the comrades who were charging with him nearby and shouted:

"Attention all! Accelerate Acceleration! Stay mobile! Rush with me! โ€

"We need to give full play to the advantages of fighter performance and reduce the number of enemy aircraft as quickly as possible. Again, don't hover with them. โ€

Two Spitfires and forty-six Hurricanes, relying on the acceleration brought by the descent of the planes to cooperate with their own engines, the overall speed is naturally self-evident.

When fighter jets full of industrial aesthetics swoop down from the sky at 700km/h, the devils can basically leave the throttle and joystick with their hands.

From Reizo Ishida's point of view, I saw dozens of small green dots rushing down, and then there was a one-sided slaughter.

A series of long bursts of shots instantly blew up the nearby subordinates, and even he himself had to work hard to survive.

In the test of life and death, this devil Nakazo quickly made a choice.

Ishida Reizo first piloted the Type 97 fighter to accumulate speed in level flight, and he was ready to lure the enemy plane to dive again, and then looked for an opportunity to pull up the nose of the plane to form a confrontation with the enemy plane.

While there is a good chance of being taken out if you do so, if you don't take any chances, the opponent will continue to use the energy advantage of the dive until you eat your entire team.

"Yaga! Where the hell did these monsters come from! Not only is the performance of the aircraft amazing, but so is the pilot. โ€

"Umegi-kun! We form temporary formations! Prepare to crack the opponent's B&Z tactics with a head-to-head counterbite. โ€

Speaking of which, Reizo Ishida really has bitterness and can't say it. In just the first wave of encounters, the entire team was killed by half of the members.

I knew I wouldn't gamble, I just wanted to bet on pleasure, but the opposite side was a stud monster.

In the midst of crankiness, a Spitfire has already entered a combat position. He jerked up and launched a long-planned attack on the unfamiliar enemy.

Maybe if you are an ordinary person, you will definitely be in a hurry in the face of a sudden adversary attack.

But it was Wang Tianbao who flew the Spitfire, the man who was most familiar with the propeller plane among the six combat heroes.

With a simple 180-degree half-roll maneuver, he avoided the small water pipe of the Type 97 fighter opposite. Next, without the slightest hesitation, pull the launch button.

Two 20 mm cannons and four 7.7 mm machine guns spilled red tongues of fire, which accurately gave the enemy aircraft on the opposite side an enlightenment.

Although he couldn't hear the screams of the devil on the other side, the moment he opened fire, Wang Tianbao still saw blood splashing in the cockpit hood of the other party.

Blowing up an enemy plane again, he did not have the slightest complacency. The next target was quickly chosen, and the Spitfire changed from a dive to an upward climb.

From head-on to mutual fire, to Ishida Reizo being smashed into flesh foam and fireballs, the whole process took less than ten seconds.

This scene made some of the soldiers on the position of the Ninth Army see it clearly, and they secretly applauded in their hearts while preparing to deal with the devil's army.

Refreshing!

Relieve hatred!

It's so exciting!

ยทยทยทยทยท

While the fighters of the two sides were still fighting, the offensive formation led by Fang Ziyi had already rushed to the vicinity of the 97 heavy explosion.

All the novices are holding their breath, although they can't fight alongside the instructor and compete with the devil's fighters, but it is also a good choice to take down the more expensive bombers.

Over the years, they have had enough of the arrogance of the devil Lu Hang.

In the past, when Japanese planes were seen, all troops could only avoid or hide, but now it's time to be ashamed!

Compared with the fighters who were busy licking the ground and voluntarily giving up their altitude, the combat altitude of the 97 Heavy Explosion has been maintained at a low altitude of 2,000 meters. The moment the 1st Air Division appeared, the bomber group suddenly exploded.

"There are several enemy crews crossing the blockade line and approaching the bomber group!"

"Come back quickly, the escort is already within range of the enemy! What the hell are you pigs doing? Why is the speed of defense so slow! If you don't come again, you can collect our corpses! โ€

Faced with heavy bombers without escort, Fang Ziyi and others chose to attack head-on.

This puts more pressure on the bomber pilot, and the oncoming fighter looks as if it is about to crash into the bomber.

Under extreme pressure, the bomber pilot is likely to make a dodge maneuver. Other planes must also dodge in order to avoid collision with a bomber that is performing a dodge maneuver.

In this way, the entire formation may be destroyed while dodging.

And once the formation is scattered, the lone bomber has no resistance in front of the fighters.

In the face of the attack of the 1st Air Division, the bomber group of the devils looked like helpless chicks at this time. Arrogance and arrogance make their queue too dense to dodge.

The spring thunder beat the war drums for me, and the red sun recruited me to annihilate the enemy.

At this time, Fang Ziyi's face was very hideous. He quickly locked on to a bomber with his fighter sights, and 12 7.62 mm aviation machine guns swept forward the 97 heavy explosion.

Rumble!

There was a loud bang in the air, and a heavy bomber turned into a large fireball.

Casualties appeared, and the devil pilots were suddenly anxious. They are constantly urging the Heavy and Bombardier to do their job!

"Throw all the bombs out! Otherwise, we won't be able to run at all! โ€

"What are the self-defense machine gunners doing! Can't you even beat the old biplanes? โ€

"All crews! Permission to get out of the queue! Circumvent on your own! โ€

The hundreds of bombs that were enough to make the devil feel distressed did not even touch the position of the Ninth Army, only the earth let out a groan of pain.

But how can these Ninety-Seven Heavy Explosions avoid the well-prepared surprise attack, this Zhongtiao Mountain is not only my hometown, but also a tomb prepared for you.

May 7, 1941, this seemingly ordinary day, but destined to become an indispensable part of the Chinese Air Force.

The first large-scale appearance of the Air Force Division kicked off with a surprise attack and handed over a proud report card.

In the case of the loss of five of its own planes, a total of 35 Type 97 fighters, 36 Type 97 heavy bombs, and 20 Type 97 light planes were destroyed, directly reducing the scale of the army air force attacking Zhongtiao Mountain by one-third.

The eagle of the motherland always soars above the sky.

I was stupid, why didn't I send it out.
