When the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft flew to an altitude of 1,000 meters, Zhou Zhihan released the air in the air cushion, and the air cushion retracted into a ball and tightened against the belly of the aircraft to reduce flight resistance.
"Course correction, flying 115 degrees."
Miura Chuuji looked at the reference object on the ground and immediately corrected the aircraft's course.
"Corrected course, flying 115 degrees."
Zhou Zhihan replied.
Airborne radars during World War II were far from popular. It was not until 1943 that large bombers of the US military were equipped with bulky fire control radars for the first time. A few years later, some fighter jets were equipped with small radars.
For now, in clear weather, the navigation of reconnaissance aircraft mainly relies on pilots and lookouts to judge the heading based on reference objects on the ground. In dense fog or at sea, gyroscopes, compasses and maps are needed for guidance. Sometimes , pilots can rely on sunlight, moonlight, and star positions to determine their location.
Therefore, the route planning of current reconnaissance aircraft is mostly based on obvious reference objects on the ground. Especially the lookout of the reconnaissance aircraft must have excellent memory ability and must be a living map when in the air. A reference object to determine the heading of the aircraft.
Miura Chuuji turned sideways and looked at the ground with his head tilted. His hair was blown back by the wind. He did not wear a flight helmet and enjoyed the cool breeze. He only needed to wear goggles below two thousand meters: "Correct the course. Flying in a direction of 110 degrees."
"The course has been corrected, flying in the direction of 110 degrees!"
Zhou Zhihan corrected the course and looked at the vibrant land of the motherland below the front of the cabin. His heart suddenly felt sour. The people living on this land did not know that a month later, they would be displaced and suffered the baptism of artillery fire. This land From then on, they were ravaged by the iron hoofs of the Japanese invaders. From now on, the Chinese people must resist foreign enemies with unyielding fighting spirit and spirit.
Flying over the motherland for the first time, Zhou Zhihan couldn't be happy at all, because he was flying a Japanese plane. If one day our great motherland can make its own airplanes, and he can be lucky enough to live to that era, he can fly China's own-made fighter planes fly in the blue sky, guarding every plant and tree here. Only then can he proudly shout to the sky: "This is our powerful China!"
When the plane reached an altitude of 1,500 meters, Zhou Zhihan did not continue to climb upward at a small angle of attack, but flew southwest at a flight speed of 170 kilometers.
Zhou Zhihan looked down at the land of his motherland and asked, "Mr. Zhonger, where is our flight mission today?"
Miura Junior was sitting in the rear cabin looking around. He was in a very happy mood. He seemed to have forgotten that he had received two heavy slaps not long ago. Hearing Zhou Zhihan's question, he quickly answered:
"Hi! Mr. Tailang! This morning, the flight mission assigned to us by the command is to fly to Jianqiao Airport in Hangzhou, China, where a batch of China's most advanced fighter jets are parked.
Our Yamato No. 05 aircraft will be deployed at an altitude of 40 kilometers north of Jianqiao Airport, together with Yamato No. 01 aircraft and Yamato No. 03 aircraft, to form an air sentry echelon to contain the Chinese forces in the northeast, due north, and northwest directions of Jianqiao Airport. At the airport, as long as they have military planes taking off, they will be discovered by us immediately. "
"well!"
Zhou Zhihan answered according to the corrected route and continued flying at an altitude of 1,200 meters. People on the ground were working in the fields. When they heard an airplane passing by, they all looked up. Many children were jumping and running, completely unaware that this was the enemy's. airplane.
Zhou Zhihan turned around and asked, "Zhonger-kun, how long have you served on the Izumo battleship?"
"Hi! I have been working in Shanghai for three years, Mr. Tailang!"
Miura Chuuji is also an experienced flying bird and is very familiar with the airspace around Shanghai. He does not need a flight compass or compass and can know the aircraft's route based on ground reference objects.
"Oh! Mr. Nakajima turns out to be an old bird. Today, Mr. Urachuji will take care of you!"
"Hi! You're so polite, Mr. Tailang. You are a top student and you helped our flying team a lot today. I will ask for your continued care in the future!"
Miura Chuuji nodded while speaking. He had long been accustomed to nodding and bowing when speaking to his superiors. Even when he was sitting on the plane at this time, he could not help but do so.
Zhou Zhihan was chatting with Miura Chuuji, but he was thinking about how to kill the guy behind him, and then pilot this Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft to land at the Chinese airport, which would be a great gift after his return.
But he was worried that after killing Miura Chuuji, he would not be able to find the Chinese Air Force airport. Even if he found the Chinese military airport, he would not be able to land without a large reservoir near the airport.
Flying around in the air is not a good idea. Once the engine oil runs out, it is impossible to make an emergency landing on land.
Even if the forced landing with the belly of the aircraft is successful, the aircraft will be completely scrapped. God knows if the huge impact force will cause the aircraft to explode and burst into flames the moment it comes into contact with the ground.
The landing method of the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft is completely different from that of land aircraft. It can only land on the water, and it must find a large, deep lake before it can land.
The distance between Hangzhou Jianqiao Military Airport and Shanghai Huangpu River is about 190 kilometers. The flight radius of the Type 95 surface reconnaissance aircraft is 460 kilometers. It can hover at low speed in the sky north of the Chinese Air Force Jianqiao Airport for three to four hours.
Zhou Zhihan then pulled the throttle to keep the plane flying with optimal fuel consumption. He tried to find a way to kill the little Japs behind him, so he had enough fuel to fly to the Chinese Air Force airport.
"Zhong Erjun, how far is the monitoring range of the air sentries at Jianqiao Airport of the Chinese Air Force?"
Since there is no radar on the aircraft, the air forces of various countries at this time either use reconnaissance aircraft to defend the airspace outside their own airspace, or they deploy surveillance networks around the airport using the ancient beacon transmission method. Once the enemy is discovered, they will be deployed in a network on the ground. The air sentries on the ground alerted the troops by making phone calls or sounding the air clearance alarm.
Under normal circumstances, the air defense alarm will not be sounded easily. It will only be raised in an emergency situation when a large number of fighter planes from the other side are attacking, to warn the army of an emergency in the form of a beacon relay.
Once the air defense siren is sounded, it can be heard over a dozen kilometers away.
When the forward air defense siren sounds, the air defense siren in the rear will sound quickly in the form of a beacon relay. This can not only warn the rear that a large number of enemy fighters are incoming, but also use the air defense siren to warn the incoming enemy. Causes psychological stress to the pilots and disrupts communication between enemy pilots with harsh sounds.
At this time, aircraft can barely communicate with each other by radio within a few hundred meters, but the noise of the radio waves will be unbearable for pilots. Beyond this range, pilots can basically only rely on air gestures.
The original radio was mostly used for communication between the main unit and the wingman.
In many cases, once the aircraft of both sides start fighting, the pilots will fight on their own, and the combat formations they usually practice will be disrupted in an instant.
The drills are meticulous. Once a fierce air battle occurs, the pilots will be under great psychological pressure. Not only do they have to keep an eye on the enemy's fighter planes, but they also have to be careful not to be followed by the enemy's wingmen. How can they spend effort to maintain the formation.
Flying in formation is only suitable for demonstration flights or non-combat flights.
In most cases, when air sentries find two or three enemy planes on the ground, they give a warning by phone.
Miura Chuuji said: "The Chinese air sentries are cunning and cunning. They endure hardships and stand hard work. They often hide in very small and hot huts, or climb on trees, using telescopes to look at the sky through the leaves. Once they spot an imperial aircraft, , we will report it to the airport immediately.”
Miura Junior's tone suddenly became serious: "Talang-kun, we must be extremely careful during our flight today. The July 7th Incident happened last night. The Chinese Jianqiao Air Force must have known about it. If our reconnaissance plane gets too close, , they may suddenly approach quickly and shoot us down!"
Zhou Zhihan was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly became worried. If he flew this sea reconnaissance aircraft with the Japanese sun flag painted on the fuselage to the Chinese Air Force airport, would he be shot down by the Air Force before he could even land?
Before the July 7th Incident, as long as the Japanese planes did not fire, it was still feasible for the Chinese Air Force to land their own planes at the air force airport without firing first.
The July 7th Incident happened last night, and China and Japan were in an undeclared war. If I rashly fly a plane to Jianqiao Airport now, there is a 100% chance that it will be intercepted by the Chinese Air Force.
Is there any way to let the Chinese Air Force know in advance that it will fly a plane to deliver a big gift? Zhou Zhihan couldn't find a way despite racking his brains.
There is really no way!
Even if he is a time traveler, there is nothing he can do.
"Miura Chuuji-kun, before the July 7th Incident, our reconnaissance plane approached Jianqiao Airport. With China's air force, how would they react?"
