Mountain city, the position of the anti-aircraft battalion.

"Battalion commander! Let's shoot! The brethren of the Air Force are flying towards us, definitely asking for help! Everyone is a soldier of the same system, how can you see death and not save it! ”

"The devil only has a few fighters, and with the firepower of our battalion, we can definitely help the friendly forces share the pressure. Perhaps our superiors will not only not pursue our disobedience, but will reward us for our bravery. ”

"In case you can take out the flies of the escort, with the strength of the fourth group, you can intercept at least half of the bombers. Battalion commander! This is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people! Look no further! ”

One thing to say, this preserved fruit company commander speaks very well, which can be called a model of knowing how to move with emotion and reason.

In the persuasion just now, he not only mentioned the comradeship-in-arms and the feelings of his family and country, but also tried to play the emotional card to incite his battalion commander. He also reasoned with the facts, and even made a reasonable prediction based on the previous style of acting of his own head of office.

Sincerity is always the most powerful nirvana!

When the commander of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion heard this, he immediately fell into deep thought, and his face was full of struggle.

As a bloody low-level officer, especially the anti-aircraft artillery unit responsible for protecting the airspace, it is difficult for him to tolerate the enemy throwing wild on his head.

"Pass my orders! Objectives"

Before he could finish speaking, a communications soldier ran towards the command post with a sweat on his head. After seeing the telegram in the other party's hand, the expressions of the battalion commander and the company commander changed.

If one of them gives a death order to deal with the violators, they will really not be able to participate in the battle above.

"Battalion commander! The chairman and commander are calling! ”

"Commanders, let's immediately participate in the battle and save the Fourth Air Brigade with all our might!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone at the command post was overjoyed. Now that the orders of the superiors and his own wishes overlap perfectly, it is natural that he can do a big job without any scruples.

"Brethren! Guns! ”

"Beat me up on those bitch-bitched brutes!"

Under the command of the battalion commander, the companies quickly moved into positions and were ready for battle in the shortest possible time.

At present, the air battle has become white-hot, and the 4th Flying Group, pursued by the 11th Air Fleet of the Japanese Army, has already shot down four two-winged I-15s.

Seeing that their own air force was falling into disadvantage, the anti-aircraft machine guns and small- and medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the air defense positions immediately locked onto the target and opened fire.

"Bang"

"Da-da."

The fighters tilted their ammunition towards enemy aircraft, diligently providing fire support to friendly forces.

Although the anti-aircraft fire network of the anti-aircraft artillery battalion was not weak, in the face of the nimble and high-speed Zero fighters, the surprise attack only achieved the result of shooting down one plane.

After the position is exposed, the already low offensive efficiency is greatly reduced, and there will even be a certain risk.

Fortunately, all the Zero fighters were temporarily unable to withdraw and had no chance to change course and strafe the ground at low altitudes.

After all, losing altitude is no different from suicide in air combat, as long as the enemy dares to show flaws, the Zhihang Brigade will inevitably seize the opportunity to bite back.

The 96 land attack, which was dedicated to ground attack, had not yet been put in place, not to mention the fact that the horizontal bombardment was not accurate enough to pose a threat to the antiaircraft artillery positions that had been fortified.

With the fire support provided by ground anti-aircraft artillery, the 4th Air Group gradually stabilized the situation.

It's just that judging from the current situation, the two sides can only draw at best. Without new reinforcements, it would be a fool's dream to intercept the bomber group.

"Captain! Let's think of a way! ”

"If it drags on like this, the devil's army will start attacking!"

"When will the reinforcements you are talking about be in place? If they don't come, they'll have to collect our bodies! The Aviation Committee of Dog Day, which does not even give parachutes, is simply murder! ”

After hearing the shouting on the radio, Zheng Shaoyu reluctantly replied distractedly while maneuvering to avoid the pursuit:

"Hold on any longer, the brethren of the second squadron have already rushed into the bomber group! We are halfway through our mission, and we must not let these Zero fighters go back to escort us. ”

"Roger!"

······

Shancheng, No. 176, Eling Street.

When it comes to the safety of their own lives, the evacuation of ordinary people is very fast.

In just half an hour or so, there were hardly any civilians in the city.

The embassies are also prepared to deal with air raids, and their stations have special air-raid shelters, so there is no need to squeeze into small public holes with strangers.

When the anti-aircraft artillery battalion joined hands with the Fourth Air Brigade to fight the Japanese navy, a knight from the British was holding a high-magnification telescope to observe the battlefield.

"Hey, the preserved air force is going to run out."

"I really don't know what that bald head is thinking, why don't you even cherish the last seed."

"This Zero fighter is really difficult to deal with, and it is completely different from the design concept of the German III and Italy. If we meet on the battlefield in Southeast Asia in the future, I don't know if Spitfire and Hurricanes will be able to gain the upper hand. ”

Although the Republic of China and Britain have not yet formally formed an alliance, the world situation and all signs indicate one thing, that is, the establishment of an anti-French alliance is only a matter of time.

Instead of entering the bomb shelter, Sir chose to observe the battlefield and gather intelligence to prepare for future wars. What's more, the devastated mountain town reminded him of his hometown.

Even though the two cities are not on the same continent, the heroic resistance of the people to the bombing struggle and the indomitable spirit of resistance are incomparably similar.

Just as he was about to put away his binoculars and prepare to enter the bomb shelter, the scene in the sky in the distance directly scared the old nobleman out of the country.

“WTF？”

"Meyer is coming to Asia? What a horrific bombing! ”

"Damn, what the hell are the damned Japanese mad! Nearly a hundred bombers were dispatched! If I have the chance, I will definitely find them to settle the old accounts together. ”

After hearing the exclamation, all the staff who had not yet entered the bomb shelter focused their eyes on the sky.

When they saw the group of bombers that looked like a dark cloud, they felt as if they had returned to the British Isles last year. After all, on the battlefield of the Republic of China, it is difficult to see an attack formation of this magnitude.

"Everyone, fast into the bomb shelter! We're also a bombing zone here! ”

"Don't look at it, don't you want to die? Those Japanese have been eyeing the embassy for a long time, and for a while we don't know how many bombs and incendiary bombs will fall on our heads. ”

Three years ago, Sir was ordered to lead a team to the mountain town.

The first period was definitely their happiest days, even if they were bombed, as long as they hung the rice flag to ensure the safety of all staff.

However, with the undercurrent of the international situation and the increasing friction between Japan and Britain, their embassy became the most bombed among their peers.

In just two years, even the station has changed twice.

Now that the Japanese are attacking the mountain castle so aggressively, they will definitely not let go of those who have no ability to fight back.

Suddenly, a staff member with a camera reached out and pointed to the northwest. The expression on his face was wonderful, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Look, sir!"

"Am I dazzled, do we also have a flight team to aid China?

"The plane coming from the north side of the city should be a Hurricane and a Spitfire, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the old nobleman, who had half of his body in the bomb shelter, immediately turned around and ran back. That amazing explosiveness doesn't look like a sixty-year-old man at all.

After picking up the binoculars, he saw images that he would never forget.

Nearly 300 advanced fighters, which should have belonged to the British Isles, rushed towards the Japanese aircraft group at this moment with an unfamiliar red star identification mark.

"That's right, it's our plane!"

"But the shape of the wings is a little different, and the speed seems to be a little faster."

"Quick! Keep a record! With the presence of hurricanes and fire-breathers, those damned Japanese would surely return in vain and film them fighting the Zero. ”

Only now did the old knight remember one thing.

During the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, rumors circulated in the Republic of China about bringing British planes. With a large number of Hurricane fighters, the Eighth Route Army made the entire army aviation in North China fall into trouble.

······

The opponents of the 1st Air Force Division this time were the Type 97 fighters and the Type 97 Heavy Bomb of the Japanese Army Air Force, and the Type Zero fighters and the Type 96 Land Attack of the Navy Air Force.

The former has nothing to say, he is an old opponent who has fought many times, and he can even be said to be the "battlefield enlightenment teacher" of most fighters.

The latter is strong, but it is not the fighters who are strong, but the pilots.

As a Hainan Airlines that has absorbed the best talents in the country, the average flight time of pilots of the Zero fighter is calculated in 100 hours.

Even some ruthless people can practice for 500 hours.

Moreover, they only practiced one kind of project, those who were born as dive bombers only practiced dive bombing, horizontal bombers only practiced bombing and torpedo throwing, and fighters only practiced fighting planes.

With the strength of the shaft and the top, HNA was able to achieve invincibility before 1942.

As for their car Zero, it was a fighter with a lot of Showa characteristics.

Because of the technical defects of Hangfa, the designer can only win by ingenuity. The engine thrust was insufficient, so he desperately tried to reduce the weight of the plane, eager to cut off one of the pilot's legs.

Although the Zero can achieve a high range and has great maneuverability at low altitudes and low speeds.

But at the cost of extremely weak armor protection, not even bulletproof steel plates and self-sealing fuel tanks, the early models were definitely lighter native.

In terms of firepower, the Zero's main weapon is a 20-mm Type 99 cannon modeled after Erikong.

The weapon's low rate of fire, slow muzzle velocity, coupled with the disadvantage of rapid ballistic sinking, is definitely a model of aerial combat peeing cannon. The more fatal problem was that each gun had only 60 rounds of ammunition in reserve, and the endurance was extremely poor.

The reason why the Japanese Navy and Navy can use zero battles to kill all sides in the Republic of China is mainly due to the excellent matching mechanism in the Asian battlefield.

Before 1942, the opponents of the devils were either average in tactics but backward in fighter performance, or average in fighter performance but stupid and dog-fighting as soon as they came up.

I'm in such a bad state today, I can't write anything, I'll make up for it during the day.
