Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Swoop of Death!
"Location."
At 3,500 meters above North China, seven planes with plaster flags painted on their wings and aerial bombs mounted under their wings flew in formation from east to west.
The captain of the devil pilot, Captain Inada Xiu, glanced at the towering mountain peaks below and asked in the public frequency.
There was no hint of radio silence.
"It has entered the area of the enemy's Taihang base area and is close to Huxian."
It was about thirty seconds before a devil's answer rang out in the channel.
"Yaga!"
After confirming the direction, speed, and altitude of the devil's flight through the ground radar station, Shen Sheng dispersed the wingman in pursuit.
But the surging power made Shen Sheng accelerate again, catch up with the target plane, dive again, and shoot it down.
There was silence in the channel.
Devil pilots are not idiots.
Naturally, the gap in technology can also make pilots and army aviation officers feel more irritated.
Those who can serve as pilots are all devil elites.
They don't have any chances.
Dirt Eight Road, there is a navigation device,
It's called a navigation beacon.
But so what?
He's not bad at technology.
It's as if,
They're just a few chicks.
After reaching the sky over the enemy aircraft, they decisively launched a dive attack.
The Air Force is the military branch with the highest level of science and technology.
"Shoot down the target."
Shu Inada shouted on public frequency.
In the past, the locust army was the party with a huge absolute advantage in the performance of the aircraft, so when retreating, it was often at high altitude and high speed to leave the battlefield.
After all, the devil pilots have not only undergone several years of training, but some even have more than a hundred hours of combat experience.
This is not something that driving skills can compensate for.
However, the attacking enemy aircraft were still not found.
The other devils are bound by their previous experiences.
It shows that the enemy fighters are very firepower.
Moreover.
Shen Sheng and his teammates climbed out of the plane and landed on the ground along the boarding stairs.
"Watch out for attacks from above."
However, the Jian-1, which dived at a speed of more than 850 kilometers per hour, exceeded the reaction range of the devil plane, not to mention, there were bombs on the wings of the devil, which affected the maneuverability.
Hearing the navigator's report, Inada Xiu, who was originally accustomed to this process, suddenly felt a burst of irritability in his heart, and directly spit out a baga.
No one spoke.
High-intensity real aircraft and simulated training are not as good as actual combat.
It could even be quite a bit more powerful.
Shen Sheng glanced at Yu You.
It is also stated that the enemy aircraft are attacking from above, and at great speed.
Receiving the news from the ground commander, Shen Sheng piloted the Jian-1 fighter and swept towards the azimuth 900, that is, the left front direction, at a high speed of 800 kilometers per hour.
At this time, Inada Shu noticed that there was a problem with their formation, and the formation of seven planes began to disperse, and he gave the order to adjust in time.
This is a gap that cannot be bridged by pilot operations.
As the ace pilot of the Locust Army, he can see at a glance that these Tubalu pilots who fly mysterious fighters are also elites.
"Yaga!"
Forming a cross formation with the wingman, Inada Xiu looked around vigilantly, feeling more and more anxious.
···
Half an hour later.
800 km/h?
Not afraid of the disintegration of the plane?
Pull it up?
Can the body withstand such a heavy load?
Inada Xiu was shocked in disbelief, but his movements were not slow, he immediately controlled the plane, rolled a few times, and got out of the attack range of the plane above, and also broke away from the lock of Jianyi.
Although the new large radar is extremely effective, it has a poor detection effect in the face of low-altitude targets.
Twin-engine transport aircraft, level flight can exceed the fastest speed of the Zero fighter, one can imagine how terrible the speed of a very light single-engine fighter will be.
And he, today is the first battle.
Even in daytime, when there is a reference object that can be directly visualized, it takes about 30 seconds to determine the location with a high probability.
Piloting a Jianyi to shoot down a devil plane is really much more energetic than free piloting.
It is explained that the enemy attacked from behind, that is, at six o'clock, which is the blind spot of the pilot's field of vision, after all, no one can have eyes behind their backs.
···
"Bearing 900."
"What speed is this?"
"Energetic!"
"Yes!"
Let Inada Shu be irritable.
"What about the masters?"
Anchored to the ground and guarded by a latent underground party, its role is to transmit signals.
Although there was only a momentary contact, Inada Shu could still see clearly that the unknown plane that attacked his flying team was a single engine, small in size, and must be a fighter.
Although it broke away at high altitude and high speed, the three devil planes also relied on complex clouds to cover the traces of the aircraft as much as possible.
At this time, the speed of the two planes in the sky was completely beyond his expectations.
The enemy really had fighters.
Even more so than the Navy.
Taking off the flight hood and eyes, and taking off the troublesome load-resistant suit, Shen Sheng waved his fist and howled.
In the cheerful howl, Shen Sheng was a little dissatisfied.
Rumble!
Rumble!
In the flight formation, two planes suddenly broke their wings, shattered their fuselages, and one of them even exploded directly in the air.
Therefore, the other four planes have increased their altitude and speed, trying to get out of the battlefield at high altitude and high speed.
In the first round of dive, there was a deviation in the angle, coupled with the timely roll of the devil, the bullet grazed the wing of the devil and did not hit.
As an excellent pilot of the devil, Xiu Inada responds accurately and quickly, but other devils don't have such good skills.
As the remaining five fighters of the devil dispersed, Hidecai Inada began to analyze the current situation and think about the current situation.
But after all, it was his vision that limited his thoughts, in his opinion, the speed of 700 kilometers per hour is unimaginable for a fighter, after all, the Zero fighter is only more than 530 kilometers per hour, the faster the plane flies, the greater the air resistance, and the more difficult it is to increase the speed.
However, it can be accurately positioned at night, indicating that the navigation technology of Tubalu is very advanced.
He was flying the Empire's most advanced Zero fighter at this time.
"Drop the bomb."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he saw two fighter planes swooping down at high speed at an altitude of nearly seven or eight thousand meters, swooping down towards the plane of the Locust Army.
But the other devil pilots were not as smart as Shu Inada.
Not to mention that the base area is mountainous and even if it is a plain terrain, the detection effect of low-altitude targets is very poor, this is the nature of radar, there is no way.
I'm afraid, the maximum level flight speed is more than 700 kilometers per hour.
Just when the devils began to adjust their formations,
suddenly
He knew that the devil pilot who fled in the Zero fighter was probably better than him in flying skills.
"Watch out for each other."
···
"Disperse the pursuit."
In the throat intercom, the command of the ground commander was heard:
"Pursue it immediately."
At this time, there was still half of the fuel in the tank, which was very sufficient, and there were still more than half of the cannon bullets, so he controlled the plane and chased after the fleeing devil plane.
"The ghost pilot who escaped should be a master."
"Disperse and retreat."
Although the Navy has always refused to admit this, it cannot change the established facts.
Of the seven devil planes, only six were shot down, and one escaped.
The maximum level flight speed is only 533 km/h.
The enemy had fighters, not surprisingly, he was mentally prepared before departure.
"Haha..."
"Formation."
The two Jian-1 fighters landed on the runway one after another, and then slowly slid into the hangar, and the ground crew quickly surrounded them, and while setting up the boarding ladder, they began to check whether the plane was damaged.
Directly use the speed, find the height and angle at a long distance, then dive and attack at high speed, and after a blow, quickly disengage, not giving him a chance to play a hovering and rolling at all.
"The distance is two kilometers, the height is six thousand, and the speed is four hundred and thirty."
Pilots generally have the ability to measure speed quickly.
However, according to a rough estimate, Inada Shu found that the speed of the two planes in the sky was probably close to 800 kilometers per hour.
Otherwise, flying at night is looking for death!
Moreover, after more than half a year of investigation, although there were no actual results, I still knew a lot of information about the night transportation of the Eighth Route Army, especially about how to navigate.
"Yes!"
It turned out that the enemy's fighter performance was very advanced.
According to research data from the Imperial Aviation Headquarters, the Zero fighter has the best rolling and circling ability in the world, and even the fighters of countries such as the United States and Germany are rarely matched.
And the pilots of the Eighth Route Army were also very cunning.
Shu Inada's irritability comes from navigation.
Until this point,
"The azimuth is 750, the distance is fifteen kilometers, the height is six thousand five, and the speed is four hundred and forty."
Shu Inada immediately gave the order.
A devil plane was blown up in the air.
But the Empire.
They don't judge the climb with the Zero fighters of the Reich at all, bite each other's tails, and put each other in the sight.
Shen Sheng's tone was disdainful.
Although in the cruising phase, he did not let his guard down in the slightest.
The excellent performance of its aircraft was maximized.
There was also a Devil Zero fighter, trying to pull up the nose and counterattack at a high angle.
After giving the order, Shu Inada piloted his Zero fighter, dropped the bomb load, lowered the altitude, and flew at an ultra-low altitude of 100 meters to retreat to the north.
"Spread out!"
Although at present the empire still did not catch the night to shoot down the night to the north, or even the northeast region, transporting funds, weapons and ammunition, medicines, transport planes of the Eighth Route Army.
In just an instant, the two planes under his command were directly blown up.
"Enemy attack."
The gap is huge,
Therefore, when the air force engages, technology can often directly determine the victory or defeat, and the side with a higher level of fighter technology will have a much greater probability of winning.
It's just...
In the face of the large ground three-coordinate tracking radar from the 80s, the maximum speed was only more than 400 kilometers per hour, and the devil plane at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters had no chance to escape.
Inada's eyes widened.
Shen Sheng reported.
Inada Show makes a bold guess though.
Superior IQ.
Or rather,
The planes of the Eighth Route Army were extremely fast.
Inada Xiu scolded in his heart.
"It's a pity that I ran away."
Either is not a good thing.
Seven incoming planes, two of which were Zeros, and five were Type 97 attack aircraft, and the one that escaped was a Zero fighter.
And the fighters of the Eighth Route Army are the real eagles.
The loss of four planes made Inada Shu deeply appreciate the aircraft performance gap between the two sides.
"Formation!"
According to the analysis of technical personnel, after receiving the signal transmitted by the navigation beacon, the transport aircraft of the Eighth Route Army can easily know the location of the aircraft through the strength and direction between the front and rear signals, and then substitute the position of the beacon.
But... The speed of the Zero fighter is a hard hit.
After the two J-1s crossed at an altitude of 9,000 meters, they each tracked a low-altitude target.
"Spread out."
···
"Spread out!"
But...
"Yaga."
Inada noticed that two unknown planes were leaving at high speed in the distance.
Military airfield near the village of Yang.
Before the devil plane pulled up the nose and adjusted the angle of counterattack, it was blown up.
So far, in just two attacks, four devil planes have been shot down.
Said his teammate.
And the absolute gap in aircraft performance is not something that technology can make up.
This person immediately chose the most correct way to deal with it, piloted the plane to break away at a high speed under 100 meters, and avoided the radar while avoiding the dive attack.
The most advanced Zero fighter of J-1 and Devil.
It's like.
The fighter fighters of the First World War fought against the Zero fighters of the current devils, and unless the pilot who flew the Zero fighter was a complete novice, it was absolutely impossible to lose. (End of chapter)
