A formation of more than 60 fighter planes composed of Falcons and Zeros was still at a disadvantage against more than 30 enemy aircraft. Not to mention the fact that they were beaten back and forth,
It is hard to imagine that most of the enemies in front of them are P40 fighters with poor maneuverability. This makes Yamaguchi Kumon Daizuo, who commands the formation, doubt his life. The difference must be too outrageous.
There are only ten formal pilots in this Japanese fighter formation, and the others are all rookie trainees who have not flown a plane for a few days.
I thought it would be enough to let them follow behind to make up for their mistakes, but who would have thought that they could not do even such a simple task. In less than half an hour of fighting, more than ten planes were shot down by the opponent...
Especially when the enemy leads them to fly at low altitude on land, experienced people can tell at a glance that something is wrong, because low-altitude maneuvering has always been the weakness of the P40, but it is the advantage of its own fighter planes. There is definitely something wrong with their behavior of sacrificing the good and the bad. Maybe they just want to use ground anti-aircraft weapons to deal with them.
Let alone the Chinese, they often do this kind of thing on the Pacific battlefield, so there is no absolute certainty that you can try not to lick the ground without licking the ground during the air battle. Otherwise, you have no idea that the fatal bullet will come from the ground. Shooting from which corner.
But those guys didn't know the depth at all. They kept following up and trying to shoot down the opponent. As a result, they were quickly turned into a ball of fire by the 40mm anti-aircraft cannon on the ground.
Knowing that there was nothing he could do to save his life, Yamaguchi Kyumon operated the lever to drive the plane upwards. Several other senior pilots followed immediately before seeing their commander leaving the battlefield.
These rookie students were left to watch us go away with bewildered expressions, and had to continue to withstand the pursuit of the enemy's artillery fire in front of them.
The remaining seven Zero fighters jumped out of the clouds to keep the formation flying horizontally. Yamaguchi Shimon looked back and confirmed that the enemy fighters had not caught up for the time being, and immediately contacted the others through wires.
What’s even more tragic is that our parachutes were taken away by the instructor one by one after takeoff, and even the cockpit was tightly locked. We were also told that only by being close to death can we understand the true meaning of the battlefield. The only form of loyalty to the Emperor.
The huge casualties caused slight loopholes in the Japanese defense. The reserve troops still had time to return to various positions to take over the defense, but the opponent's leading troops suddenly caught him in the face...
"What the heck... what the heck..."
Is there a way to defeat him or retreat? Isn't this stupid?
Old pilots are of no use, right? As instructors, we can train fewer "emperor's soldiers" to serve the country before we go back, so we can't just die on the battlefield.
"Haha!" Yamaguchi Shimon cursed and punched the base of the communication equipment.
There was still time to adjust. Yamaguchi's four-door could only be seen through the glass of the cockpit, and he slowly used hand gestures to indicate the previous order to the team members on both sides.
There are not many people alive in the Japanese army under the siege, and Xiao Shao has withdrawn into the city just after the first wave of poison gas bombs. The Eighth Main Regiment, which launched the main attack, took those positions with almost no effort.
The poor Japanese rookie trainees were so ruthlessly abandoned and became a stepping stone for the instructors to escape. They were defeated one by one by the Allied pilots who gradually gained the upper hand and were unable to fight back.
So much so that there is a joke among the Japanese airmen. When someone is scolded, they call him "that empty No. 1 aircraft", which means that he is a piece of trash, which shows that the thing is at least useless.
Shortly after the artillery fire and bombing stopped, the figures of the 88th Army soldiers appeared in the dissipation that had not yet dissipated.
We formed one skirmish line after another, and retreated to the enemy on the soft and burnt land.
Huge noise filled my ears, and the damn broken cable was still so rubbish.
The Allied pilots are also stupid. Now that they have an absolute advantage, they are engaging in dogfights with each other. One pilot is chasing them in front and the other is attacking from the flank.
Except for the upgraded version of the new Zero fighter model, none of them have installed that thing anymore. Just like these lunatics who went on a kamikaze mission, the officers had to remove all the seats in order to fly faster, 96 Naturally, the Shiku No. 1 wired telephone was treated like a piece of junk.
But fortunately, before getting off the plane, I didn’t know whether Air One was acclimatized or was born with “airsickness”. Anyway, the performance in the air was very awkward, the noise was small and the signal was stable. It basically appeared during the flight. When there is no abnormal communication.
With that kind of thinking, the veterans of Yamaguchi Shimen have no sense of guilt at all. As for why we are fighting for our lives?
The air lighter is for nothing, a long burst of fire can blow up the Zero fighter in the air from a long distance.
The Zero fighter is equipped with the Type 96 Air No. 1 wired telephone. The type of wired telephone used in the underground experiments was quite wrong. It can make voice calls and send and receive messages. As a short-distance wired telecommunications equipment, it is considered relatively good. of.
The advancing Zero Allied pilots also noticed that they passed by us and did not split up their forces to pursue us. The main reason was that they were not sure enough to keep the other side alive. It was better to deal with the loss first and then talk about it.
The result was that he didn't even have a chance to parachute before he was hit. He either chose to die in the fire with the plane, or died with the enemy.
As for these rookie students...our lives are inherently valuable.
"Sizzling...sizzling...receiving and taking...sizzling..."
So the Japanese airmen ended up removing the wired electrical equipment for weight reduction and aerodynamics, sawing off the antenna, or dismantling the wired electrical equipment in the aircraft. Why keep it because it was useful.
The wingmen on the right and left looked in front of Hanhu Lake and slowly conveyed the order to the companions around us. It turned out that the commander asked everyone to advance tactically.
The battlefield situation was changing rapidly. Without the support of the surface fleet and air force, the Japanese army in Yangon became isolated and vulnerable.
As we got closer and closer to Yangon City, we also encountered some sporadic resistance. However, after several rounds of heavy poison gas bombs and artillery bombings, these trenches and bunkers had long been destroyed. .
Even if he survives, he will be incorporated into the last batch of kamikaze agents to ram the US aircraft carrier when he returns. In fact, the result will be the same.
The specific reason is also his. According to the conclusion drawn by the pilot before the name check, it is because the vibration of the spark plug and generator outside the Zero fighter's 14-cylinder engine slightly interfered with the wired electrical equipment, which resulted in extremely poor communication in the air. Stablize.
The reason is that no matter what, it is a fact that the wired electricity is useless, and the aircraft engine can always be modified for that thing, right?
Now that the naval fleet has not sailed out of the offshore area, and the enemy's aircraft are no longer able to pose a threat to it, the mission on our side has been completed, and it is time to run away.
