At the beginning, Sakurai Takahiro was just teasing Yang Fan, just like Tom playing Jerry. If it weren't for the aircraft's performance and tactical advantages, and an old bird always reminding him and protecting his retreat, he would have Fucked to death by Sakurai.
Air combat experience is very important. The gap between rookies and veterans is geometric.
Fortunately, Yang Fan is also very talented in aerial combat. As time goes by, he gradually adapts to the ever-changing aerial combat environment and survives the most dangerous golden ten minutes for a rookie;
During the ten-minute chase, Yang Fan was almost shot down by Sakurai several times.
"Bagaya Road is not a warrior's job!"
The more Yang Fan fought, the more slippery he became. He was no longer coherent, and Major Sakurai cursed angrily.
In these ten minutes, the air battle over Taijing Airport had already decided the winner. The Chinese Air Force, which had a huge advantage, completely defeated the Japanese fleets that took off one after another like refueling tactics. Not every Japanese fighter was like this. Sakurai encountered a rookie.
The long-wingman wolf pack tactic first used by the Chinese Air Force did not appear until the Goryeo War. The pioneer was the young Volunteer Air Force. Relying on this tactic to fly MiG-15 fighter jets, they created a battle that even the veterans were afraid of. The MiG Corridor.
Now used to deal with the Japanese aircraft that are lagging behind in tactics, performance, and quantity, the effect is quickly apparent. A Japanese fighter plane that relied on fighting alone was shot down. Of course, many Chinese fighters were shot down. This is what growth must bear. price.
35 to 12, the Chinese Air Force won completely. As the Japanese lost more and more aircraft, the Chinese Air Force's numerical advantage became more and more obvious.
At this time, the second wave of 80 fresh troops arrived, and more than 50 Japanese fighter planes supporting from other battlefields also arrived one after another, and the scale of the air battle became larger and larger.
China invested a total of 160 fighter jets and lost 12 in battle;
The Japs invested 127 fighter jets and lost 35. The ratio of the number of fighters between the two sides became 148 to 92. Of course, there were dozens of bombers at the Japs airport. When this thing was of no help at all, the gap between the two sides widened. big.
Of the 12 fighter planes China lost, 9 were piloted by rookies. Many fell in their first air combat, and their blood spilled in the sky.
Yang Fan was undoubtedly lucky. Although he met an old bird and an ace pilot, he was looked after by Ferreira, China's number one ace pilot, and finally survived the period when he was most vulnerable to being shot down;
Now he has learned to cooperate with Ferreira, using the tactics learned in the training team to fight with Major Sakurai, and the fight is evenly matched, and he has become more confident in fighting.
"Yang Fan, you did a great job, luring the bastard to me!"
Sakurai became more and more anxious as he fought. He no longer had the calmness he had before. From time to time, he used his peripheral vision to pay attention to the entire battlefield. One of his own fighter planes was shot down. The Chinese fighter planes were hitting more and more, and he did not know the Chinese fighter planes. How many of them have already thought about running away?
The Japanese navy and air force are not like the army, especially the early air force. They are elites who cherish their lives very much. Once the war situation is unfavorable, they will choose to flee.
The current situation is obviously unwinnable, and if we continue to fight forcefully, the result will be annihilation of the entire army.
"Bagaya road!"
Sakurai's fighter plane was almost hit by Yang Fan, and the bullet whizzed past his fuselage, scaring him into a cold sweat.
He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, dived down at high speed, quickly got rid of Yang Fan, and then walked away without looking back. This caught Yang Fan off guard, and he couldn't help but cursed:
"Damn it, is this still a devil?"
Not only Sakurai ran away, but many Japs pilots with brilliant minds began to flee, one to ten, ten to dozens, and finally it turned into a rout.
The Chinese aircraft fleet chased each other one after another. Yang Fan shot down another Falcon during the pursuit. When he tried to find the Japanese again, there was no trace of him.
In the first air battle between the two sides, the Japanese lost a total of 68 fighter jets, and the others ran away.
At this time, the third wave of bombers arrived, and Chinese fighter jets began to form escort formations to escort the bombers.
Next it was time for Zhao Tianci and others to perform, but this time he only sat in the passenger seat, and the main driver was also a rookie.
"Xiao Guo, don't be nervous. We are surrounded by those pesky fighter regiments. The Japanese fighter jets have been beaten away and we have control of the air.
You only need to drive the fighter plane to the target area as you usually train, and then direct the bombing team to release bombs. It is very simple. "
Zhao Tianci told Guo Qingxiang very patiently that completing the bombing mission was obviously much easier than air combat. In the fighter regiment, many of Guo Qingxiang's classmates shed blood in the sky and cleared the nearby airspace for them. They only needed to fly to the designated target according to the procedures. Just bomb.
"Attention bombing team, prepare to drop bombs!"
——
"bomb!"
Guo Qingxiang excitedly gave the bombing order, and then dropped a series of aerial bombs, smashing into the Japanese airport;
Explosions rang out, and the Thai-King Airport was shrouded in thick smoke and flames. The piercing sirens at the airport rang through the sky, and strings of anti-aircraft bullets were sprayed into the sky.
Unfortunately, it is not very effective. Anti-aircraft fire must reach a certain density, and it can only have some effect against medium and low-altitude targets;
The B-17 Flying Fortress is a high-altitude bomber with rough skin and thick flesh. It doesn't matter even if it takes a few bullets. In actual combat, many Flying Fortresses can fly back safely even if one of their wings is knocked off.
As soon as the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower was exposed, bombers pounced on them like eagles catching chickens. After a series of aerial bombs were dropped, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower group was covered, and anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns were blown up. Twist and broken limbs were scattered all over the floor.
Without the hindrance of anti-aircraft firepower, the bombers bombed the airport more recklessly. The bold ones even dived down to drop bombs, blowing up the airport everywhere.
By the time the Chinese Air Force left, Taijing Airport had been turned into ruins. The bombers and airport facilities and equipment that had no time to escape, including the command center, hangar, warehouse, garrison and other targets I wanted, had been ravaged. paralysis.
In the next few days, the Chinese Air Force formations continued to bomb important Japanese targets in Siam. The Japanese aviation forces were not to be outdone and continued to send fighter jets from other battlefields to fight fiercely with the Chinese Air Force to compete for air supremacy.
The two sides went back and forth, and no one gave in. Fighter planes were shot down one after another, and both sides suffered heavy losses. It became a war of attrition, and the battle loss ratio between the two sides was basically two to one.
After seven consecutive days of fighting, China lost more than 60 fighter jets, and the Japanese lost more than 160 fighter jets including the losses in the first battle.
"Bagaya, we can't always be led by the Chinese people. Let's blow up their airport too!"
The gambler Juichi Terauchi mobilized all the mobile air combat power of the Southern Army to prepare a big surprise for the Chinese Air Force...
