"Whoosh whoosh..."
The two 7.7-cm-caliber machine guns under the nose of the P26 fighter jet opened fire. The tracer bullets pulled out sparks in the air, rubbed the air, and quickly formed a bullet surface from the bullet point. Like lightning, it bit towards the belly and tail of the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft.
Before the P26 fired, Zhou Zhihan had already made an advance judgment. Almost at the same time as the P26 fired, he pressed down the nose of the aircraft and plunged to the ground like a cliff. The red tracer bullets grazed the tail like a meteor and flew into the distance. Finally, it followed As the muzzle velocity of the ballistic trajectory decreases, it disappears from the sky.
During World War I, pilots from various countries began to use tracer bullets.
The flight path of tracer bullets is of great help to pilots.
It is especially helpful for the growth of rookie pilots. The shooting trajectory of normal bullets is invisible to the human eye, and the emergence of tracer bullets has improved the pilot's shooting skills.
Pilots can refer to the luminous ballistics to correct shooting deviations, promptly correct the direction of the aircraft's nose towards the enemy, and respond quickly to enemy aircraft.
When the tracer warhead flies, the gunpowder installed at the tail of the warhead will burn, allowing the pilot to see the trajectory of the bullet, thus improving the ability to correct the enemy's attack and correcting the advance of the ballistic trajectory.
Although tracer bullets can help pilots correctly target enemy aircraft, they can also be beneficial to the enemy.
Tracer bullets will also remind the enemy pilot that he is under attack, so he can maneuver to avoid it.
In short, tracer bullets can improve the pilot's shooting accuracy and achieve the accuracy of first strike and strike. Although it will also remind the enemy pilots, this disadvantage can be ignored. After all, in an air battle, the warplanes of both sides are fighting. Victory or defeat is just a matter of seconds. Whoever launches a powerful blow first will be the first to occupy the balance of victory.
Zhou Zhihan used the simplest dive maneuver to avoid the attack of the P26 fighter jet from behind, but he also secretly called it a fluke. The P26 pilot did not use the shooting advance, and the time to launch the attack was a bit hasty. Otherwise, he had just dived downward to evade. It happened to be hit by the opponent's bullet with a preset attack advance.
After these rolling maneuvers, the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft dropped from an altitude of 4,300 meters to 2,700 meters. Zhou Zhihan pulled up the control stick, and the aircraft recovered and flew levelly toward the southeast toward the sun.
Escape!
Now is the time to escape!
Now, two P26 fighter jets must not be allowed to occupy a position with their backs to the sun.
During World War II, there were no side-lit flying sunglasses, so when fighting, pilots would first occupy a position facing away from the sun, forcing the opponent to face the sun.
In just ten seconds, he performed the simplest rolls and dive maneuvers to escape from the trap set by two P26 fighter jets. The process was very thrilling. At this time, he was blown by the cold wind and realized that his entire back Soaked with sweat.
He had two 7.7cm caliber machine guns but did not dare to use them. He was worried about accidentally injuring his own fighter jets, so he was at the disadvantage of being beaten and escaping. What was even worse was that he could not use his flying speed to escape from the rear tracks of the two P26 fighter jets. .
So he can only always be at a disadvantage.
He could only run for his life.
Push the throttle to the bottom and accelerate to escape.
The Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft is specially used for reconnaissance. Although it also has onboard weapons, its design is not suitable for air combat at all. Because there is a retracted kayak under the belly of the aircraft, it increases wind resistance and makes the flight speed slower. Fighter aircraft It climbs slowly and turns at a large angle, so it can only carry out air strikes on the ground during reconnaissance.
To put it bluntly, the reconnaissance aircraft is a prey to fighter jets, and it can only abuse ground troops.
At this time, Zhou Zhihan was flying toward the sun in a slightly southeasterly direction. He had an advantage due to his flying sunglasses that could not be seen by others.
From the moment when the two P26 fighter jets opened fire just now, Zhou Zhihan could tell that the pilots of these two fighter jets liked to use the tracking shooting technique and were unable to master the rapid shooting technique.
Fighter shooting techniques are roughly divided into tracking shooting and rapid shooting.
Tracking shooting can maximize the probability of shooting down enemy aircraft, but its tactical use requires the pilot to have superb abilities, because within the effective shooting distance, it is difficult to achieve close tracking shooting solely by relying on the pilot's ability.
During World War II, the optimal shooting distance of fighter aircraft's airborne weapons was between 200 meters and 400 meters, which also depended on the power of the airborne machine gun or cannon to implement the strike distance.
It is almost impossible to achieve close tracking within 1,000 meters without being discovered by enemy aircraft ahead.
Therefore, excellent pilots must master the technique of rapid shooting in order to win in air combat.
Because of all the performance of the fighter jet, the various maneuvers made by the pilot flying the fighter jet are all to meet the final shooting range, shooting angle, and shooting distance.
This requires the pilot to make the most correct judgment on the firing time, shooting advance, and the distance between the two aircraft, and then pull the shooting button. After two or three seconds of continuous shooting, regardless of whether the opponent is hit or not, pull the button quickly. The fighter plane leaves the battlefield, because no one knows whether you have become someone else's target while you are tracking the enemy, looking for the best direction and distance, and then shooting.
During the moment when the three fighter jets were intertwined, Zhou Zhihan saw the number 03 on the fuselage of the P26 fighter that fired first, and 09 on the other one.
Now that p26 has opened fire, how can the Japanese Type 95 reconnaissance plane escape?
The No. 03 P26 fighter jet just bounced and then pulled up. The speed was inevitably reduced. It could only temporarily break away from the tracking and attack range of the Type 95 reconnaissance aircraft. The No. 03 fighter jet rolled sideways and a half, with the nose and tail as the axis. When coming out, push the right rudder, slightly press the control stick to the right, adjust the nose of the aircraft to pursue the direction, and fly in the direction of the Type 95 escape.
After No. 09 launched an airborne machine gun attack on the enemy plane, he immediately pulled up the nose of the aircraft and flew away. He thought he was almost certain to hit the enemy plane, but the enemy plane dodged it with a simple dive, so he climbed to 2,800 meters and then changed the direction. Out of level flight, he and the No. 03 fighter jet went up and down, one behind the other, and continued to chase the Type 95 reconnaissance aircraft.
After escaping from death twice just now, Miura Chuuji didn't know that he peed his pants until now, but he didn't care about it. Now he only wants to escape with his life, and everything else can be ignored.
Miura Chuuji had never seen the Type 95 reconnaissance aircraft fly with such maneuverability. Before he could praise Zhou Zhihan, he quickly turned around and looked behind him, only to see two P26 fighter jets chasing him from high altitude from the 11 o'clock direction. Another low-altitude position at 5 o'clock is approaching quickly, forming a pincer attack from above and below.
Miura Chuuji was sweating profusely on his forehead. The thrilling thing that happened in that minute was something he had never seen in his life. When the P26 fighter jet spit out tongues of fire, he forgot to breathe in that moment. He felt the breaking wind. The tracer bullet was only a few steps away from him, and he could even see the shadow created by the bullet as it tore through the void quickly, as well as the overlapping shadow left behind.
After escaping from death, Miura Chuuji was almost frightened. He had completely trusted Zhou Zhihan. He believed that a top student who graduated from Randolph Air Force Academy could lead him out of danger.
Suddenly, Zhou Zhihan saw in the mirror that a puff of black smoke came out of the nose of the P26 fighter jet behind him at the 5 o'clock position. After a while, the speed of the aircraft slowed down and it was far away.
"Talang-kun!" Miura Chuuji could see clearly from behind. He was overjoyed, "Talang-kun, your shooting skills are so superb. The fighter jet behind us at the 5 o'clock position was shot by you. From the propeller position Black smoke was coming out, and now it has turned around and left the battlefield, leaving only the aircraft following the 11 o'clock position still approaching."
During the chase just now, the P26 fighter jets opened fire. Miura Chuuji was frightened to death. He held his head and shrank back. He couldn't tell who was firing between us and the enemy. Anyway, he could hear the sound of machine guns ringing in his ears, and tracer bullets flying all over the sky. , I can’t remember how long the two sides opened fire.
When he saw the No. 03 fighter jet leaving the battlefield with smoke coming from its nose, he thought that in the fierce battle just now, the enemy fighter No. 03 was hit by the machine gun of his own reconnaissance aircraft.
Zhou Zhihan didn't have time to speak. The P26 behind him was approaching quickly and was gradually completing the rear tracking tactics. Once it reached an effective shooting distance, it would fire again without hesitation.
Zhou Zhihan felt that he should take a look at the No. 09 fighter behind him and find a way to force him back. Otherwise, he would have to be in a position to be beaten. He might be bitten by a bullet and finish the game immediately.
