Zhou Zhihan used the simplest giant slalom to shoot down the Type 95 who was chasing after him and had a complete advantage, which greatly surprised everyone in the Japanese Air Force.
This move is so amazing and incredible!
The Type 95 carrier-based aircraft had completed rear tracking, but was instantly shot down by the Chinese in a large turn. This shocked and frightened many Japanese pilots!
Captain Yamashita Shichiro, captain of the second detachment of the Japanese 13th Air Force, narrowed his eyes. This Chinese pilot shot down imperial planes one after another. Who is he?
Yamashita Shichiro had just exhausted his energy in the confrontation with Zhan Huo 233. Now he was flying a plane to command at high altitude, gasping for air. Although he had killed the Chinese Air Force 233 Zhan Huo in the dog fight just now, he respected Zhan Huo. He was a China's ace pilot was born at the wrong time and lost to the performance of the fighter plane.
According to absolutely reliable information, the most powerful person in the Chinese Air Force is the commander of the Fourth Group, Gao Zhihang, who pilots the No. 401 fighter plane. There are also several Chinese ace pilots, one of whom is the No. 233 Zhanhuo he just shot down. .
The Japanese army was fully prepared for the war of aggression against China. How many fighter planes the Chinese Air Force has and what models they have are all clearly understood by the special high school. In particular, the ace pilots of the Chinese Air Force are known to the Japanese devils and traitors. Thorough research, truly knowing yourself and your enemy.
Captain Yamashita Shichiro remembered that the secret information provided by the Imperial High School did not mention this pilot, nor the fighter plane No. 214.
Could it be that this pilot was missing from the intelligence?
Captain Yamashita Shichiro knew that the reason why he was able to shoot down No. 233 War Flame just now was largely due to the excellent maneuverability of the Type 96 carrier-based aircraft of the Empire of Japan. If it were replaced by a similar type of aircraft, there was no telling who would win in the end.
Facing the Chinese Air Force's retreat formation, Captain Yamashita Shichiro ordered all Japanese airmen: Let the China Air Force retreat. You can pretend to pursue it, but don't pursue it. The Chinese Air Force's fighter planes are more than twice ours. Just now, four Fighter MKI fighter jets have advanced. If you leave, you will definitely be ambushing on the way back. No one is allowed to pursue and be fooled!
All Japanese pilots accept orders!
"Order everyone not to engage with Chinese Air Force fighter No. 214. None of you are his opponent. When I recover, I will personally shoot down No. 214 to avenge Erwa-kun and the others!" Captain Yamashita Shichiro stared at No. 214 and ordered everyone again Japanese pilot.
"Hi!"
The Japanese pilots looked at the Chinese Air Force No. 214 and replied that even if Captain Yamashita Shichiro didn't give the order, no one would dare to challenge the 214. At this time, they were still in shock and thinking to themselves, can the giant slalom be used in this way?
How did the Chinese do it when aiming and shooting during an inverted giant slalom?
Why can the Chinese fighter pilot No. 214 think and do it, but I never dare to think about it?
Of course, many classic maneuvers are easy to watch others do, but the effects are different when you do it yourself.
To put it bluntly, the abominable Chinese can easily pull the lever to complete a large turn and complete the shooting advance during the turn. They can calmly shoot, hit, pull up, and leave.
As for the samurai of the Emperor of Japan, let alone completing the shooting, he could not even complete the shooting ahead of schedule.
The reason why all Japanese airmen dare not step forward to challenge 214 is that 214 can shoot down opponents in large turns, but most of them will become targets of enemy aircraft when they make large turns.
No. 214 used a simple giant turn to shoot down the enemy plane and immediately shocked all the Japanese aviation forces! They could only fly to defend the skies above the Third Fleet Izumo. In response to the Chinese Air Force's retreat, only a few Japanese fighter planes symbolically moved forward to test, then circled back, circled again to test, and so on.
Captain Gao Zhihang knew that the Japanese were pretending to pursue them.
At this moment, there were bursts of explosions from the north of Shanghai, and plumes of thick smoke shot straight into the sky. All planes in the air could feel the powerful airflow surging from the north. The plane was shaken by some turbulence.
Gao Zhihang and others were overjoyed.
This is the news that the Chance Vought O3U-2 reconnaissance aircraft of the 35th Squadron of the Chinese Air Force successfully attacked the Japanese armory of the Open University Cotton Factory. The 35th Squadron, as a feint attack group, killed the Japanese armory before the final retreat. This was a great achievement!
Boom boom...
Explosions came continuously from the north. Even if they were more than ten kilometers apart, they were still deafening, making people feel a kind of shocking force that destroyed the world.
People watching the battle on both sides of the Huangpu River were obviously frightened by the sudden explosion. The powerful shock wave caused the ground to shake, causing some houses to sway. People mistakenly thought that there was an earthquake and fled from their houses one after another!
The Chinese Air Force is high in the sky and can see thick smoke rising from more than ten kilometers away, rushing hundreds of meters into the air. The black smoke is mixed with fire and keeps exploding, just like there are dark clouds in the north, mixed with lightning. Flash of thunder.
Immediately afterwards, harsh air defense sirens and the explosion of artillery shells came from the direction of the Japanese Marine Corps headquarters.
The siren was sounded by the Japanese Navy Command, who suffered multiple air strikes from another group of Chinese military aircraft.
In this attack on the Japanese Marines stationed in Shanghai, the Chinese Air Force sent almost all its resources to fight, and attacked several important military locations of the Japanese army at the same time, making the Japanese lose sight of the other and leaving them in a passive situation of being beaten at all times.
However, the Chinese Air Force's stay in the air was limited. They flew from Jianqiao to Shanghai. After launching a series of attacks on the enemy, they issued a fuel alarm and left. The rest of the offensive had to be completed by ground troops.
The important role played by the Chinese Air Force this time is as the "fulcrum" of all Chinese armies in attacking the Japanese Marine Corps stationed in Shanghai.
According to the long-awaited battle plan for the Songhu Battle, the Chinese Air Force was locked in a position to support the navy and army, and was used as long-range artillery, almost at the expense of all its wealth.
The serial explosions in the armory and the piercing sirens coming from the direction of the headquarters had a great impact on the confidence of the Japanese air force protecting the Third Fleet.
The Japanese Air Force did not dare to leave the sky above the Huangpu River, fearing that the Chinese Air Force would launch another attack on the already severely damaged Third Fleet, but it also wanted to go and expel the Chinese military aircraft that attacked the Marine Corps Headquarters.
In the years since the Japanese army had been so arrogant on Chinese territory, it was the first time they encountered such a big blow. They were caught off guard psychologically and could not accept it.
In the air battle over the Huangpu River, two Japanese submarines were sunk before they could dive. Although the Izumo was not sunk, its hull was also severely damaged. Two other destroyers were sunk, and there were also Some small ships were also sunk.
The damage suffered by the [Izumo] may not seem big, but in fact it is full of scars. If the young Chinese Air Force had more war experience and continued its fierce attack after launching the first wave of attacks, it might have sunk the [Izumo] 】.
But war is like this, there is no possibility, no do-over, and no one is allowed to make mistakes. Once the opportunity is lost, it is lost forever.
The Japanese Army's Gongda Textile Factory Armory was blown up with a rumble of explosions, which greatly boosted the morale of the Chinese soldiers. The 88th Division, 87th Division, and 20th Independent Brigade also launched more violent attacks everywhere.
Hongqiao Airport no longer needs to be heavily defended. It will soon become an attack point for the Japanese. All personnel in the airport will be evacuated, leaving only empty shelves for the Japanese.
In the morning, after all Chinese military planes took off from Hongqiao Airport, Xie Jinyuan led his regiment to leave Hongqiao Airport and continue to attack Baziqiao.
Taking advantage of the power of the explosion at the Open University Cotton Mill, the Chinese Air Force began to retreat. Four Fighter MKI fighter jets and several Boeing 281 fighter jets had already deployed high-altitude advantages in the retreating airspace. As long as the Japanese dared to pursue them, several fighter jets would attack from high altitudes. If a dive attack is launched everywhere, the Japanese army will definitely suffer losses.
Chinese fighter planes took the lead in withdrawing from the air combat battlefield and retreated from the south bank of the Huangpu River towards Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport.
The Japanese are not stupid and know that there is an ambush on the way the Chinese Air Force retreats.
It was impossible for so many military planes to retreat without setting up an ambush.
The main purpose of the Japanese aircraft is not to defeat the Chinese Air Force, but to protect the safety of the Third Fleet on the Huangpu River. With their current strength and number, they are still unable to defeat the Chinese Air Force.
Since there was not much fuel left, the Chinese Air Force was unable to defeat the Japanese Air Force even though it had an advantage in the number of military aircraft.
Can only retreat.
Seeing the Chinese Air Force retreating, the Japanese military planes pretended to pursue them and then flew back.
"boom……"
At this time, the artillery units of the 88th and 87th Divisions deployed on both sides of the Huangpu River began to fire at the wreckage of military aircraft from both sides that fell in the Huangpu River.
War is cruel.
Even the performance parameters of Hawke 1 and Hawke 2, which are lagging behind in all aspects, cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese.
Therefore, it must be blasted to pieces with artillery and prevented from being salvaged by the Japanese.
After a fierce and fast battle, the Communist guerrillas on the shore successfully rescued several Chinese Air Force pilots and captured several Japanese pilots.
The elusive guerrillas blew up all the Chinese and Japanese fighter planes that crashed on the land. The wreckage of the Chinese Air Force planes cannot fall into the hands of the Japanese, and the Japanese cannot even think of taking their planes back for repairs before putting them into the battlefield.
The guerrilla fighters of the Chinese Communist Party did not leave even a piece of wood to the little devils.
The little devils are so bad. They will take back the wreckage of the downed fighter planes of the Chinese Air Force. After some dismantling and research, they will assemble them as trophies, take photos, and publish them in newspapers. They can both encourage the imperial soldiers and attack them. morale of the Chinese military and civilians.
The Japanese just can't figure out why they lag behind the Chinese Communist Party's guerrillas in every action they take. These guerrillas are so elusive that they always appear in the most critical places when they are needed most.
At 9:20 on August 14, 1937, all Chinese fighter planes that could fly returned to Jianqiao Airport, and those heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country spilled their blood on the Huangpu River.
Although the Japanese Izumo was not sunk today, it was severely damaged.
The Chinese Air Force gained a lot today, severely damaging the Izumo and sinking two Japanese destroyers, two submarines, and several torpedo boats.
More importantly, China's young air force gained valuable experience in this air battle and displayed a sword-fighting spirit that is not afraid of powerful enemies.
I believe that in future battles, the young air force will be more heroic and tenacious.
All outstanding soldiers have been baptized by fire and become even better. Air Force pilots even more so.
In the morning, when all the fighter planes took off from Hongqiao Airport, in order to boost morale, Mao Bangchu specially took off and commanded all air forces at high altitude.
The deputy commander-in-chief of the Air Force personally participated in the battle. One can imagine how important this air strike was to the Chinese army at the beginning of the offensive.
When the Chinese Air Force completed its mission and prepared to return, Mao Bangchu flew back to Jianqiao Airport and directed a large number of returning fighters to return to the factory and land.
Mao Bangchu ordered that all returning fighters, those with low fuel reserves, land first in order, while those with still sufficient fuel reserves serve as vigilance in the air.
The Japanese aircraft carrier has entered the waters near Shanghai to participate in the war. It is a huge mobile airport. This gives the Japanese air force an absolute advantage. They have suffered a big loss today and will retaliate at any time.
According to reliable information from the drama, on the morning of the 12th, 20 Type 96 land attack bombers of the Kisarazu Air Squadron of the First United Aviation Group of the Japanese Army stationed at Omura Airport in Nagasaki Prefecture on August 12, preparing to use Jeju Island in southern Korea as a base. Fulcrum transition, the sword can be pointed at the East China battlefield at any time.
On the afternoon of the 12th, 18 Type 96 land attack bombers and 14 Type 95 warships of the Kanoya Air Force stationed at Taipei Songshan Airport. If it had not been for the strong wind and rain, they would have arrived at the temporary airport built and defended by the Japanese Marine Corps in Shanghai to participate Offense, defense.
When the returning Chinese Air Force arrived over Jianqiao Airport, Jianqiao Airport was already ready.
All ground staff arrived.
All the medical soldiers arrived.
Today the young Chinese Air Force won its first battle. Everyone at the airport came to greet them.
Mao Bangchu ordered all ground air defense posts to move forward 20 kilometers in a unified manner. If enemy aircraft were discovered, they would immediately sound the air defense alarm.
The secret sentries around Jianqiao Airport were all dispatched. If they saw any idlers, they would interrogate them. If they encountered any resistance, they would kill them without mercy!
The Japanese suffered a big loss today, and they will definitely find ways to retaliate.
The Chinese Air Force has no time to celebrate and cannot celebrate. After all, it killed 10,000 enemies and injured 7,000 itself.
Today, China also lost more than a dozen military aircraft, and more than a dozen outstanding pilots died for the country and will never come back.
The curtain of war has just begun, and there will be more vicious battles in the future, and big battles are waiting for the young Air Force.
Several aircraft were hit by enemy artillery fire and barely flew back to the base. The mechanics worked non-stop to repair the aircraft immediately.
All places on the fuselage that were hit by enemy carrier-based aircraft bullets were inserted with flaw detection rods to study the enemy aircraft's firepower.
The flaw detection rod can objectively detect the lethality of enemy fighter aircraft’s airborne weapons and the firing distance.
For now, the best shooting distance for fighter jets from various countries is between 220 and 270 meters.
Falcon and others personally lifted Ren Yunge's body out of the cabin. He was also the only pilot who could return to Jianqiao Airport after fighting today.
A dozen other pilots were spilled on the battlefield, and they could only wait for the two sides to agree on a temporary ceasefire before the remains of the dead soldiers from all sides could be cleaned up on the battlefield.
During the war, except for the temporary ceasefire agreement between the two sides to collect the corpses separately, no one would risk their lives to collect the corpses of their own people at other times. Each side has shooters who specialize in attacking the other party's corpse collection team.
In the weather in August, corpses decompose too quickly. Where there are corpses, flies are thick and black, covering the ground. When someone passes by, the flies take off with a "buzz", and the ground is covered with white maggots crawling around.
Everyone wants their own soldiers to see the mountains of corpses of the other side, in order to boost their morale.
Only when the corpses on both sides' positions deteriorate to the point of affecting the health of their respective soldiers, will both sides temporarily cease fire and collect the corpses from the battlefield.
Before taking off this morning, all pilots have written suicide notes and stored them in the Air Force Logistics Department. If they die in battle, the suicide notes will be taken out and handed over to their families together with their belongings.
After opening Ren Yunge's suicide note, all the pilots burst into tears.
Ren Yunge's suicide note contained a photo. The photo showed a warm family of five. The grandfather and grandmother were holding their granddaughter. Behind them stood the tall and heroic Ren Yunge and his virtuous and dignified wife.
Until now, everyone knew that in order to kill the enemy and serve the country, Ren Yunge concealed the fact that he was married and went to the battlefield to kill the enemy!
At ten o'clock in the morning, Mao Bangchu received a secret message from Navy Commander-in-Chief Chen Shaokuan: The Navy secretly sank a ship at the entrance of the Huangpu River at two o'clock this afternoon to block the entry of Japanese aircraft carriers. The Air Force was requested to send fighter planes to assist in air defense and guard against Japanese aircraft detection and harassment.
Seeing the secret message, Zhou Zhihan asked to fight again.
