Miura Chuuji said: "Since the air war in 1932 to the present, there have been almost no large-scale air battles between the Imperial Japanese Air Force and the Chinese Air Force. Even if there have been, they have only been scattered small frictions, and such small Most of the local air battles were conflicts that occurred when the two sides accidentally encountered each other. The final result almost always ended with the Chinese military planes compromising and retreating.
But today is different from usual. The July 7th Incident happened last night. China and Japan were in an undeclared war. Therefore, the headquarters rarely sent three reconnaissance planes to prevent Chinese military planes from launching a surprise attack on our garrison in Shanghai. .
Last year, according to reliable intelligence, the Chinese imported 11 P26 fighter jets from the United States. In addition, they also imported more than 100 Hawker 3 fighter jets.
For now, the only threats to our Imperial Air Force at Jianqiao Airport are P26 and Hawker 3 fighter jets. Hawker 1 and Hawker 2 are antique flying coffins. These aircraft are slow, cumbersome to turn, and can only It is used as a trainer aircraft for students to train, and it is a target aircraft during wartime.
Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport is the pilot training base of the Chinese Air Force. It mainly trains pilots in peacetime and can also serve as the fulcrum of the Chinese Air Force in wartime.
Fighters take off from here and can threaten the Empire's Third Fleet stationed in Shanghai in 30 minutes.
However, the training level of the Chinese Air Force is very poor, because all their aircraft are imported from foreign countries, and maintenance is a top priority for them. The engines will be overhauled or scrapped after a certain period of time, so the Chinese pilots mostly learn to fly on the ground. Mainly theoretical knowledge.
Their flight time is seriously insufficient. Except for the first few dozen pilots whose skills are acceptable, the average flight time of the remaining pilots is only fifty or sixty hours at most.
Therefore, the quality of Chinese pilots is far from that of the Empire. "
While Mr. Miura was speaking, a mountainous area appeared in the distance ahead, with lush vegetation.
Zhou Zhihan didn't know where this was.
Miura Zhonger reminded Zhou Zhihan: "Talangjun, ten kilometers ahead is Jiulong Mountain in Jiaxing, Zhejiang. The altitude of these mountains is not high, but there are forests around the mountains and below. They emit fog all year round, which is suitable for ambush. We will start from the edge of Jiulong Mountain." Fly over, especially beware of the sudden appearance of the Chinese air force."
At this time, Zhou Zhihan was really worried that the Chinese Air Force would suddenly appear. He did not want to encounter the Chinese Air Force for the first time flying a plane on the motherland.
The July 7th Incident happened last night. If the Chinese and Japanese air force fighter jets meet on a narrow road today, the Chinese air force will definitely not retreat as before, and 99% of the time it will open fire on the Japanese aircraft.
Because now China and Japan are in a state of war.
According to postwar historical records, after the July 7th Incident, the Nationalist Government began to mobilize troops and generals to prepare for the inevitable military conflict that followed.
God bless, bless and bless me, and bless me not to meet the Chinese Air Force. Zhou Zhihan prayed in his heart, and he also released his hands that controlled the throttle and joystick, and made a clasping motion.
Compared with the weather in Shanghai, the weather in Jiaxing, Zhejiang today is a bit hazy, and the surrounding area looks a bit gray and foggy.
When Zhou Zhihan flew the Type 95 reconnaissance aircraft near Jiulong Mountain, the environment in the air and on the ground suddenly changed.
There are gray and white clouds not far away, blocking the sky in the distance. There is a layer of fog around Jiulong Mountain a little further away, making it look confusing and misty.
Small cities began to appear on the land, villages gradually increased, and the population became increasingly dense.
Sudden.
Miura Chuuji shouted: "Enemy plane found, enemy plane, a P26 fighter jet appeared from behind us at three o'clock altitude."
I am really afraid of what will happen.
Zhou Zhi felt very cold and turned around quickly, but he did not see the P26 fighter jet.
Gotta run.
The pilot of the P26 fighter jet didn't know that I, Zhou Zhihan, was planning to give a big gift to the Chinese Air Force, so he flew the Type 95 reconnaissance aircraft.
Moreover, wearing a Japanese flight suit, he could be clearly seen by P26 pilots during air combat.
Zhou Zhihan was a little panicked. It was the first time he felt so panicked.
Once it encounters the Chinese Air Force, it will be a dilemma.
He was absolutely not allowed to fire, as this would leave him in a position to be beaten.
If he is shot down by a Chinese Air Force fighter plane, he will be dead, but if he is captured, he will be unable to defend himself and become a traitor inexplicably.
At this moment, Zhou Zhihan felt that he had encountered the biggest test since time travel.
People are like this, they are not afraid even if they don’t think about it, but they are even more afraid once they have random thoughts.
If the P26 catches up, he can only be beaten. Being unable to fight back is not the most fatal thing. The most fatal thing is that the P26 pilot will vent his anger on the Type 95 reconnaissance aircraft.
Miura Chuuji shouted: "The enemy plane disappeared into the clouds again, Taro-kun. We have to find a way to get out of this ghost place as soon as possible. The flight commander has told us that once we encounter the Chinese fighter jets, we should not enter their firing range. We You can return immediately."
Zhou Zhihan took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down his pounding heartbeat.
Tension solves nothing.
Principal Pat Plouffe, a mentor with rich experience in air combat, once said that the situation on the air battlefield changes rapidly. Often when you find an enemy plane behind you, you are already in a passive position, or even have your tail targeted by the enemy plane. The best response is not to look back for enemy aircraft, but to quickly maneuver away from the battlefield.
When escaping, the most inaccessible thing is the clouds in the sky. In order to avoid enemy fighter planes, some rookie pilots choose to get into the clouds. Unknown to them, before they can get into the clouds, they are sprayed by the fighter jets hiding in the clouds. The tongues of fire that came out shot down.
Sometimes, in order to launch a sudden attack and succeed in one blow, many fighter planes quietly follow the opponent, use the cover of the clouds to slowly approach, and then emerge from the clouds to deliver a fatal blow.
Zhou Zhihan felt that he should change his course and escape toward the open area in the southeast direction. The Type 95 reconnaissance plane was not terrible because it was slower than the P26 fighter. He could make various defensive maneuvers to let the P26 fly in front of him.
Not being able to fire on his own people is his biggest constraint.
Now I can only fly high into the sky to escape.
He may have been bitten by the P26 fighter jet now. Only by flying into the open airspace, away from clouds and mountains, can he find out in time that the P26 will not be attacked by a sneak attack, and then escape with his own technical advantages.
In air combat, the most dangerous and fatal thing is knowing that the enemy is nearby, but you can't see it.
Not running?
It's impossible not to run.
There are weapons but you can't use them. If you don't run, you will die.
Zhou Zhihan pushed the throttle to the bottom and climbed upward at a small angle facing the southwest sun. Miura Chuuji was watching behind him. This guy was more afraid of death than anyone else at this time. His eyes were staring at the rear without blinking. Blink, for fear of missing the incoming enemy plane.
Moving forward at such a high speed can force the attack aircraft hidden in the clouds to appear.
The invisible enemy is the most terrifying.
The Type 95 reconnaissance plane quickly escaped to the southeast, and Zhou Zhihan breathed a sigh of relief after entering an open area.
The P26 fighter jets did not follow. It is possible that the Chinese Air Force has not received the order to shoot down the Japanese reconnaissance plane, but only appeared in the clouds to scare away the reconnaissance plane.
Two minutes passed, and the P26 fighter still did not appear.
Zhou Zhihan and Miura Zhonger both breathed a sigh of relief.
There was another large open space ahead, and there were no clouds in the sky, so the enemy planes could not hide in the clouds and wait for opportunities to launch dive attacks.
Several big birds flew by not far away. Zhou Zhihan slightly pedaled the left rudder, pointing the nose of the aircraft due east. The speed dropped slightly and the altitude remained at 4,200 meters.
Miura Chuuji quickly put on his flight hat and closed the cabin to reduce wind resistance.
Another minute passed and no enemy was found. Miura Chuuji finally let out a long breath: "Talang-kun, it seems that the Chinese people still dare not attack us. After the July 7th Incident happened last night, the Chinese people still chose to swallow their anger. , afraid of being a direct enemy of our Japanese Empire! Hahahaha..."
Although Zhou Zhihan wanted to break the neck of the arrogant Miura Chuuji in one fell swoop, he was able to escape the attack range of the P26 fighter jet, and he relaxed his grip.
Right now.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhihan found a black spot at three o'clock on the nose of his plane, approaching quickly.
