A crimson sun emerged from the eastern sky. Suddenly, golden snakes were dancing on the water, and the rays of light were shining. The blue sky was rendered very clear. Five Chinese fighter planes with the blue sky and white sun emblem painted on their fuselages were surrounded by nine aircraft. Japanese fighter planes with suns painted on their bodies attacked.
The two Hawker 2s first started to circle and rise, and the Japanese Type 96 warships followed suit.
In this climb, which is similar to S maneuver, the Type 96 warship will never climb vertically, otherwise it will inevitably rush to the front of Hawker 2.
In the early and middle stages of World War II, missiles had not yet been developed. Fighters from both sides in aerial combat would fire at each other when they were about to make contact. If neither side could shoot down the other side, they would enter a dogfight and use all technical maneuvers to seize the other side's aircraft. Only in the hemisphere behind the tail can you find the best opportunity to fire.
The sky is too big.
The fighter plane is so small.
At this time, the lives of soldiers on both sides of the war are more fragile than ants.
Zhou Zhihan piloted the Martin Heavy Bomber in a battle with three Type 95 and Type 96 warships. Although it was difficult to shoot down the enemy aircraft when the enemy was strong and we were few, the presence of the Martin Heavy Bomber greatly The Japanese navy and aviation force were restrained. If it were not for the presence of Martin Heavy Bombardment, the Japanese aviation force would have launched an air superiority strike against the Chinese soldiers guarding the beach.
If you look down from the air at this time, you will see that the entire beach grabbing and defending positions and the water are full of blood and corpses. The wounded soldiers had no time to be treated and could only wail and struggle in the cruel war. Some were bled to death, and others died from the opponent's second injury.
The battle has been so brutal that it cannot be expressed in words or words.
Zhou Zhihan was sure that he could no longer wait for reinforcements. He piloted the Martin Heavy Bomb to deal with the enemy aircraft between the Japanese warships and the Chinese soldiers guarding the beach, forcing the Japanese warships not to dare to bombard the Chinese positions.
The three Japanese fighter planes also knew that the Chinese Martin Heavy Bomb was powerful. They formed a three-plane formation and took turns attacking the Martin Heavy Bomber. Whenever the lead aircraft attacked, the other two fighter planes acted as wingmen, with one guarding the tail of the lead aircraft and the other One assisted the lead aircraft in the attack, leaving Martin with no chance for heavy bombardment.
However, the three machine gunners on the Martin Heavy Bomb also seriously threatened the three Japanese aircraft. The three Japanese aircraft had long wanted to knock out the three machine gunners on the Martin Heavy Bomb, but they were cleverly avoided by Zhou Zhihan's fighter plane.
From a distance, he saw Yan Haiwen piloting the No. 510 Hawker 2 fighter jet to climb into the air in a circling maneuver. He was also forced to have no way out. Ren Songling, who was piloting the No. 379 Hawker 2 fighter jet, smiled miserably. He immediately imitated Yan Haiwen, pulled back the joystick, and pushed the throttle hard. flow valve, spiraling and climbing into the air.
The pilot of another Japanese No. 174 Type 95 Warship Battle was delighted when he saw this. He immediately pulled the lever, pushed the throttle, and followed, while his wingman hovered nearby to protect the tail of the lead plane.
Zhou Zhihan saw Yan Haiwen and Ren Songling choosing to circle and climb into the air one after another, and immediately knew their intentions. Suddenly, Zhou Zhihan felt a pain in his stomach, so painful that he almost cried.
He cried for the two of them.
Weep for the weak Air Force.
Although both of them can be regarded as ace pilots, the fighter jet they piloted was far behind the enemy, and they could only make a tragic choice!
It's not that the Chinese air force is inferior in technology, but that the performance of its fighter jets lags far behind that of the Japanese.
Yan Haiwen is 21 years old this year. He is so young. He has been in aviation school for three years and has spent all his time practicing flying skills. I heard from other pilots that he has never held a girl's hand in his entire life.
Ren Songling is 22 years old this year and has just got a fiancée. She is full of longing for the future world between the two of them. When she prepares to get married in the future, she applies to fly a fighter plane with her newlywed wife in the sky above his hometown...
They were born at the wrong time!
But on another level, they were born at the right time.
because,
They are so heroic!
From the moment the two of them gave up low-altitude circling and switched to high-altitude circling, Zhou Zhihan understood what they meant. Yan Haiwen and Ren Songling did not actively seek death in a one-on-one air battle with the Japanese army, but took the risk of climbing upwards, and then suddenly In exchange for speed, he dived to attack the Japanese warships.
This is a tragic style of play.
Attacking Japanese warships can still find a glimmer of hope. Even if there is no chance of survival, there is still a chance to die with the enemy. In a one-on-one battle with the Type 95 ship, the Hawk 2 fighter's chance of survival is slim!
It's just a last resort!
Surrounded by nine Japanese aircraft whose performance completely overwhelmed the Chinese Air Force, it was too late to choose to retreat!
Moreover, after a dogfight in the air, the Chinese military aircraft did not have much ammunition left.
At this time, the Chinese Air Force cannot retreat!
If they choose to retreat, then the two thousand soldiers who came to guard the beach will not be able to sustain themselves for even half an hour under the double attack of the Japanese fleet and aviation.
Even if you want to retreat, you can't escape intact.
There is only one heroic battle!
Yan Haiwen and Ren Songling are indeed the same as Zhou Zhihan judged. They know that no matter how good their skills are, it will be difficult to escape from the gunpoint of the Type 95 ship battle.
The performance of Hawk 3 is inferior to Type 95 ship combat, let alone Hawk 2.
On the morning of August 14th, Yan Haiwen and others saw with their own eyes that Zhan Huo Liang Hongyun, piloting fighter No. 233, died heroically for his country because the performance of the fighter plane was not as good as the Type 96 ship battle!
Amidst the rain of artillery fire, seven or eight machine gun positions suddenly appeared on the Chinese beach position, targeting the landing enemy's strongest firepower point. All machine guns extended forward in a fan shape, covering 200 meters, and fired with machine gun interception barrages. Block the fire cover between the first echelon and the second and third echelons where the Japanese troops have landed.
There is nothing left for the Chinese beach defense troops to keep. All the light and heavy machine guns are pressed forward, concentrating several super-powerful firepower points to ensure that the flames of the machine guns can continue to blast out barrage after barrage, forming a barrage of death. The interception zone completely suppressed the firepower of the landing Japanese troops.
When the barrage interception zone was formed, Major Zhang Yiquan led two squads of suicide squads with grenades inserted all over their bodies. They bent their waists and charged with death in a quick breakthrough, rushing towards the Japanese position where the Type 92 infantry artillery was deployed.
The beach at Wusongkou is covered with mud. It has been washed away by the river and turned into mud. There are corpses everywhere on and in the mud. There are stumps and internal organs bombed into pieces by machine guns and howitzers everywhere. The entire offensive and defensive The area was dyed red with a layer of bloody plasma, and no one knew whether the slippery material under their feet was blood or river water.
While charging and running in the mud, some soldiers fell down and stood up again, turning into bloody men or clay men with ferocious faces as they continued to charge forward.
War is like this, either you die or I die. All the soldiers guarding the beach know that if they can hold the beach and wait for reinforcements to arrive, they will have a way to survive. If they cannot hold the beach and wait for reinforcements to arrive, the two thousand of them will be killed by the Japanese army. Eat.
The Japanese must not be allowed to form the Type 92 infantry artillery position that has been riddled with evil deeds.
The closest point of fire between the two sides' positions was less than 100 meters away. During the run, several death squad soldiers fell down, struggled a few times, and could not get up again. The remaining people continued to rush forward under the leadership of Major Zhang Yiquan.
50 meters to go.
It is still 50 meters away from the Japanese Type 92 infantry artillery position.
The firepower of the Chinese machine guns was all suppressed. In the hail of bullets, soldiers on both sides suffered numerous casualties.
The battle has reached its most brutal stage.
