Yan Haiwen piloted the No. 510 Hawker 2 fighter. When it climbed to more than 1,300 meters, he took the opportunity to recover and dive.
He knew that the further his Hawk 2 climbed, the more obvious his disadvantage would be.
When the Hawker 3 climbs more than two thousand meters, it is no match for the Type 96 ship battle, let alone the Hawker 2.
According to the climbing speed that I just lowered my head and saw the Type 96 Battleship, the Type 96 Battleship can surpass the Hawk 2 in less than two thousand meters, and then use its dexterous and agile roll to recover, first occupy the firing position, and let Hawke 2's survival rate dropped to less than 20%. If Hawker 2 is forced to roll out and recover, the engine will easily stall due to excessive overload and insufficient fuel supply. If it does not recover and continues to climb, it will be equivalent to directly heading towards the opponent. The muzzle of the gun hit.
The fighter plane recovered, Yan Haiwen pushed the throttle to the bottom, pressed the lever, and dived at full speed towards the Japanese light cruiser "Kinu".
The Japanese Third Fleet dispatched more than 20 ships of various sizes to transport troops this time, including the escorting Kinu, Yaeyama, Katada, Hozu, Futami, etc., and the [Kinu] was the escorting ship this time. The flagship of the troop transport fleet, the commander of the fleet is Colonel Ishihara Koichiro.
At the beginning, Colonel Ishihara Koichiro saw five Chinese fighter planes entering the ambush circle set by the Imperial Air Force. He was overjoyed. It was he who proposed the plan to ambush the Chinese military planes this time, and got the approval of General Matsui Iwane, the commander-in-chief of the Third Division. If all five Chinese military aircraft can be shot down, he, as the main planner of this plan, will take the greatest credit.
Among the five Chinese military aircraft, this Martin Heavy Bomber is the treasure of the Chinese Air Force. It is a great achievement to catch this big fish today.
The empire's plan for the Songhu Battle was to defeat all Chinese troops in Shanghai within a month and occupy all of China within three months. The strength of the Chinese Air Force at the beginning of the war allowed the empire to station The naval team in Shanghai suffered a lot, and the bravery shown by the Chinese pilots in the battle was also impressive.
Therefore, the commander-in-chief, General Matsui Iwane, demanded that the Imperial Air Force must annihilate the Chinese Air Force as soon as possible, even if it was exchanged one-on-one with the Imperial Air Force.
If you want to complete the strangulation of the Chinese defenders in Shanghai within a month, you must first destroy the Chinese Air Force.
There is no air cover above the Chinese army, and the imperial aviation can do whatever they want.
In today's war, whoever wins the air force wins the world.
Just now, Colonel Ishihara Koichiro saw Martin shoot down an Imperial fighter plane with a forced inverted flight. He was so angry that he stamped his feet on the Kinu. Ten planes still couldn't take down five Chinese fighters. , it is a disgrace to Imperial pilots.
Colonel Ishihara Koichiro ordered Captain Yamashita Shichiro, captain of the second detachment of the 13th Air Force, to quickly shoot down the Chinese military aircraft, and then conduct a joint attack by sea, air, and land on the Chinese beach defense forces at the same time.
Currently, the empire's beach-rushing forces have suffered heavy casualties because there is no cooperation and support from the air force and navy, and these five Chinese fighter planes are blocking the sky above the Sino-Japanese battlefield, completely restricting the Imperial Navy's artillery reinforcements to the beach-rushing forces.
Suddenly saw two Chinese Hawker 2 fighter jets rushing towards the fleet. Colonel Ishihara Koichiro, who was well prepared, sneered in a low voice. The Hawker 2's style of play was exactly what he wanted. Shooting down two enemy planes would allow his general to Dreams come true sooner.
Colonel Ishihara Koichiro immediately ordered the fleet's anti-aircraft artillery, anti-aircraft cannons, and anti-aircraft machine guns to fire together to shoot down the two Chinese military aircraft that came to kill them.
"Bang..."
The five 140mm anti-aircraft guns on the flagship Kinu had already lowered their muzzles. After Colonel Ishihara Koichiro gave the order, they stood at attention and opened fire. The shells opened their teeth and claws like a fire dragon and bit into the Hawker 2.
"Duoduoduo..."
The 11 20mm single-mounted main anti-aircraft cannons installed on both sides of the ship also fired continuously, like meteors in the sky, heading towards Yan Haiwen's Hawker 2 fighter jet like the moon.
Six 6.5mm anti-aircraft machine guns fired crossfire to defend the fleet's low-altitude blind spots, and the machine guns erupted with flames.
All anti-aircraft bullets fired from warships are equipped with tracer bullets, just like the bullets of fighter jets. This allows sailors to correct their ballistics in time and can also intimidate enemy aircraft.
However, the intensive anti-aircraft fire launched by the Japanese fleet could not stop the determination of the Chinese air warriors to dive and attack.
Yan Haiwen and Ren Songling have no way to retreat. At this time, they have very little fuel left. It is impossible to leave the battlefield. The performance of the fighter jets is lagging behind. Even if they turn around and leave the battlefield at this time, they will be destroyed by Type 95 and Type 96. The Japanese ship battle soon caught up, and by then there was not even a glimmer of hope.
Instead of avoiding artillery fire, turning, leaving the battlefield, and being overtaken and shot down by Japanese planes, it is better to have a vigorous battle and still have a glimmer of hope.
suddenly.
Yan Haiwen sang the Air Force military song:
"Ling Yun's wish was fulfilled,
The sky is full of twists and turns,
Serve the country with great ambition,
Just in time to fly away in the wind,
Thousands of miles in the sky,
Restore my old rivers and mountains,
effort!
effort!
Don't take any time to rest,
The responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation rests on my shoulders.
You must have a spirit of sacrifice and spread your wings to soar into the sky.
You must have the spirit of sacrifice and spread your wings to soar into the sky..."
At the same time, as if telepathically speaking, Ren Songling also sang the Air Force military song:
"Ling Yun's wish was fulfilled,
The sky is full of twists and turns,
Serve the country with great ambition,
Just in time to fly away in the wind,
Thousands of miles in the sky,
Restore my old rivers and mountains,
effort!
effort!
…
You must have the spirit of sacrifice and spread your wings to soar into the sky..."
Amidst the anti-aircraft fire from the Japanese fleet, Yan Haiwen piloted the fighter plane to make various rolling maneuvers to avoid the enemy ship's weapon attacks. He could feel the fuselage jolting violently. This was the turbulence in the air produced when the anti-aircraft fire penetrated the void. This was also It means that his fighter plane has not been hit by anti-aircraft fire.
"You must have the spirit of sacrifice and spread your wings to soar into the sky..."
Yan Haiwen sang these lyrics repeatedly. When he broke into the sky above the enemy ship, his fighter plane trembled violently and showed signs of losing control.
Yan Haiwen was not surprised, he was mentally prepared.
This was hit by the opponent's anti-aircraft weapon.
Glancing at the empty meter.
There are still 700 meters from the water.
Yan Haiwen gritted his teeth, pulled the trigger, and fired all the remaining bullets from the Hawker 2 machine gun towards the Japanese flagship [Kinuhao].
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The dense bullets were imprinted firmly on the "Kinu" in a straight line, and sparks erupted from the bow to the stern of the ship in an instant as the bullets hit the steel, accompanied by the miserable screams of dozens of Japanese sailors.
"boom!"
A burst of explosions came from the light cruiser [Kinu].
At the same time, Yan Haiwen suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard all over. In an instant, two balls of fire appeared on the left and right sides of the cabin, burning fiercely, emitting black smoke. His cockpit was suddenly filled with thick smoke, which made him unable to open his eyes. Although he He was determined to ram the enemy ship and die for his country, but at this time, the cockpit was as hot as fire and the smoke from the burning aircraft made him unable to see anything, forcing him to choose to parachute.
Just before parachuting, Yan Haiwen touched the pistol at his waist, then closed his eyes and jumped out of the open cockpit of the Hawker 2 fighter. While opening the parachute, he pulled out the pistol from his waist and loaded the bullet.
Smoke billowed from the Hawker fighter piloted by Yan Haiwen, and it hit the side of a troop carrier not far from the light cruiser [Kiwrong]. Amidst the cry of father and mother, the fighter jet exploded and caught fire. The remaining fuel in the tank When it leaked out, blue flames instantly burned on the surface of the water dozens of meters in radius.
Seeing Yan Haiwen parachuting and floating towards the land, immediately, more than a dozen soldiers from the Chinese and Japanese troops rushed out to snatch the pilot.
