At this time, Chinese and Japanese fighter planes launched a life-and-death showdown above the Huangpu River.
The Chinese pilots have been holding back their energy and have long wanted to compete with Japanese fighter jets. Over the years, they have been fed up with the arrogance and domineering Japanese military aircraft. In the past, when they saw Japanese military aircraft, the Chinese fighter jets could only retreat. Now they are avenging their past shame. It's time.
The Japanese Type 96 carrier-based aircraft and Type 95 carrier-based attack aircraft were divided into small formations and wanted to attack the Chinese bombers, but they were intercepted by interceptors led by Gao Zhihang and escort fighters taking off from Hongqiao Airport.
So on the Huangpu River, fighter jets from both sides were fighting each other, and firepower nets woven with tracer bullets were flying on the river.
Some bold residents on both sides of the Huangpu River stood on their rooftops, while others stood in front of their windows, watching the fighter jets from both sides chasing each other on the river, seizing advantageous terrain, and firing.
The ultimate PK also started between China's bombers and Japan's Third Fleet.
If China's Heinkel He111 A medium bombers and Northrop 2EC light bombers are offensive weapon spears, then the Japanese Third Fleet headed by the [Izumo] is a defensive weapon shield.
This is the ultimate battle between spear and shield.
Falcon Zhu Hongxin looked at the two Type 96 carrier-based aircraft chasing behind him and shouted loudly: "Brothers, pay attention to high alert. Changkong has intercepted an enemy plane for us, and the war will also intercept an enemy plane. The remaining Type 96 carrier-based aircraft will soon catch up.
Cobra, guard the twelve o'clock on the tail and keep an eye on the two ribs at ten o'clock and fourteen o'clock. The little devils are very bad. The range and flight speed of their Type 96 fighter planes are far beyond ours. The little devil pilots like to pick up After chasing, he suddenly pulls up and then launches a diving attack. "
"clear!"
Ren Yunge said loudly that he was the gunner on the wing of this Heinkel He111 A bomber, codenamed Cobra.
Liang Hongyun, captain pilot of the 24th Squadron of the 5th Air Force Group, codenamed Zhanhuo.
Falcon: "Rattlesnake, guard the six o'clock, four o'clock, and eight o'clock positions on the tail of the plane. If the little devil's 95-style attack bites you from below, it's up to you whether the brothers can make it back alive."
The machine gunner on the belly of the plane was Sidewinder Shewei. He stared under the tail of the plane and replied fiercely: "Understood! Falcon!"
"Eagle Eye, be prepared. When I fly above the 55-degree oblique angle of the [Izumo] ship string, I will launch a dive attack. You must give me a bomb and hit the Izumo hard."
After finishing speaking, Falcon cursed fiercely: "Mader, you damn Izumo, labor and management will definitely sink you today."
Hawkeye is Guo Zhenjie, who has high hopes. His bomb-dropping skills are second to none in the entire Air Force. Today, he must sink the son of a bitch, the Akagi.
"Woo~~"
This was the siren sound issued by the Japanese warships. Immediately afterwards, the Japanese warships that entered the range opened fire. Streams of black smoke came out from each warship, and tongues of flame rushed up towards the incoming bombers.
boom!
After a loud noise, Ren Yunge's body swayed violently, and a fireball, carrying the force of thunder, rushed from his side into the sky like lightning, tearing apart the air, leaving a red shadow that exploded in the sky, making his eardrums buzz.
The Japanese battleship's anti-aircraft guns opened fire, which meant that the Heinkel He111 A bombers entered the enemy fleet's air defense area and began to risk their lives to break through.
The sharp and shrill roar of the bombers resounded over the entire Huangpu River.
Ren Yunge was shocked.
Yesterday's anti-aircraft fire at the Japanese airstrip was nothing compared to the anti-aircraft fire fired by the fleet today. It was far behind.
A boundless battlefield of life and death appeared in front of him, and he was looking down at the battlefield from a bird's-eye view.
Now, the Heinkel He111 A medium bomber he is riding on is just like a clumsy big bird, flying from the east to the northwest of the Huangpu River, suppressing the rising sun in the east, cutting out at an outward tilt angle, and then pressing a lever The rear nose of the aircraft faced west, flying along the Huangpu River, and constantly lowered the nose of the aircraft to adjust the angle of the dive bombing.
This kind of low-altitude raid is the most dangerous and encounters more fire interceptions. Once hit by anti-aircraft artillery, all crew members will be turned into roast chickens.
However, risks and opportunities coexist, and the success rate of such a surprise bombing will also increase exponentially.
From east to west on the Huangpu River, dozens of large and small warships flying the Japanese flag were arrayed. As the Heinkel He111 A medium bomber group continued to penetrate deeper and entered the range of ship-based artillery fire, the Japanese warships opened fire one by one.
The Chinese army's artillery of various calibers deployed on both sides of the strait fired fiercely at the Japanese ships in the Huangpu River.
The orders received by each artillery group are to attack the enemy ships at all costs, use firepower to contain the enemy ships' firepower, thereby forcing the enemy ships to expose their firepower gaps, giving our bombers an opportunity to raid, and they must sink the flagship of the Japanese Third Fleet [ Izumo].
As long as the Izumo is sunk, the morale of the Japanese army will inevitably be in chaos. The Japanese Marine Corps headquarters stationed in Hongkou and the defenders at Huishan Pier will lose the firepower protection of the fleet and be completely exposed to the 88th Division of our attack force. , 89th Division, in front of the 20th Independent Brigade.
"Boohoo!"
The pilot of Type 96 carrier-based aircraft No. 107 was the first to press the airborne weapon launch button. The two 7.7 mm caliber Type 97 machine guns on the nose sprayed red-blue flames and bit Zhou Zhihan's No. 214 Hawker 3 fighter. go.
In the eyes of Japanese pilots, Chinese Air Force pilots are rookies who cannot even guarantee flight time. The Imperial Japanese Air Force does not need to maneuver to seize advantageous firing positions with Chinese military aircraft. Facing the China rookies, they can be defeated with a head-on attack. Frightened, he turned around and ran away.
Just think about the Chinese people's mess of broken planes, and think about the Type 96 air combat of the Japanese Empire, that is overestimating their capabilities.
Zhou Zhihan performed another simple 180-degree semi-roll maneuver. The tracer bullets emitted by the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft pulled out long red-purple lines, flew into the distance, fell and disappeared.
This time it's not about showing off your skills, it's about a fatal blow.
Zhou Zhihan rolled 180 degrees to the right and instantly completed the shooting advance.
Press the launch button for two seconds.
The 7.62 mm caliber machine gun sprayed out red tongues of flame, accurately biting the cockpit of the No. 107 Type 96 carrier-based aircraft.
You couldn't hear the cockpit being shattered, but you could see the cockpit cover being blown apart by machine gun bullets and flying out with blood.
After Zhou Zhihan pulled the launch button, he directly moved the joystick and made a "bounce" to pull up. The Hawk 3 changed from a dive to an upward climb, and pressed the lever. The fighter jet flew over the No. 107 Type 96 carrier-based aircraft.
At this moment, Zhou Zhihan saw with his peripheral vision that the cockpit of the No. 107 carrier-based aircraft was completely covered in blood. The nose of the aircraft sank, the fuselage rolled, and fell to the ground.
too fast!
It only took less than ten seconds to go from head-on to firing at each other, and then to the Hawk 3 lever flying over the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft.
Hawk 3 drawbar climb.
The Type 96 carrier-based aircraft fell to the ground.
Zhou Zhihan succeeded with one blow, pushed the control stick forward, pressed the lever left, pushed the throttle forward to the end, continued to dive, and pursued the two Type 96 carrier-based aircraft in front.
Suddenly, a fighter jet with a blue sky and white sun painted on its tail quickly appeared and intercepted Yamashita Shichiro's No. 101 Type 96 carrier-based aircraft. It was Liang Hongyun, the captain pilot of the 24th Squadron of the Fifth Battalion of the Air Force. He was codenamed Zhanhuo and piloted a Fighter. The MKI fighter jet intercepted the Japs 101 Captain Yamashita Shichiro's plane that was chasing the 903 bomber.
Another Type 96 carrier-based aircraft continued to pursue the Heinkel He111 A medium bomber piloted by Falcon.
Zhou Zhihan suddenly pressed the stick to the right. The wings of the fighter were vertical to the sky and the ground. He pulled the stick back and the Hawker 3 fighter turned right at a small angle to intercept another Type 95 carrier-based attack aircraft.
Now, all interceptors do not need to make meritorious service by shooting down enemy aircraft, but must ensure the safety of Chinese Air Force bombers.
Because the last Type 96 carrier-based aircraft chasing the Falcon was intercepted by Gao Zhihang, captain of the Fourth Battalion.
Just a minute ago, Gao Zhihang, captain of the Fourth Battalion of the Chinese Air Force, shot down a Japanese fighter plane with his fighter plane. This scene happened to be witnessed by the staff on a high-rise building in the British Concession on the bank of the Huangpu River. Capture it and make it a timeless classic.
