The Japanese pilot piloting the No. 113 Type 96 Battleship was eager to make a contribution. If he could shoot down the Chinese Martin Heavy Bomber in front of him, he would definitely have a great contribution.
He piloted the Type 96 Battleship and bit the rear hemisphere of Martin's heavily bombarded aircraft. The distance between the two aircraft was less than 260 meters, which was the best distance for shooting. Several times, he had already aimed in the sight, Martin was full of heavy bombardment, but he was always taken away by the opponent before firing or just when he pressed the shooting button. He was so angry that he repeatedly shouted that the Chinese were cunning and cunning but there was nothing they could do about it.
From the beginning of the air battle to now, he pulled the trigger five times, and each time the opponent made a random maneuver to avoid it. This made him wonder whether the Chinese pilot flying this Martin Heavy Bomb had a rear eye in the back of his head.
But even if you had eyes in the back of your head, you wouldn't be able to see me pull the trigger.
The earliest aerial shooting sights were fixed sights, most of which only included a ring and front sight.
This device usually consists of a ring or criss-crossing concentric circles, fixed above the muzzle, and another vertical pole fixed at the rear of the machine gun close to the pilot. Sometimes their installation positions can be reversed.
The pilot can aim the enemy aircraft along the axis of the gun barrel through the crosshair and ring.
Since the size of the ring is known, the size of the target can also be known in advance, and the wingspan is usually the measure of target size.
As the target distance changes, the proportion of the target filling the ring also changes. This proportional relationship provides the pilot with a simple distance measurement method.
For example, when the pilot finds that the enemy aircraft's wingspan projection accounts for half of the aiming circle, he can judge that the aircraft has entered the maximum effective range.
The ring is also a useful tool for estimating the advance angle. When shooting at a non-motorized target with uniform motion within a certain distance, the required advance angle is related to the projection of the target.
When the target flies directly towards or away from the attacking aircraft, the attacking aircraft pilot only needs to correct a small amount of ballistic reduction.
Many excellent pilots can sum up a set of experience through their own actual combat. By adjusting the aiming ring, they can aim and shoot at the position of the enemy aircraft.
The ultimate goal of air combat is to shoot down enemy aircraft, and only by effectively using airborne weapons to shoot can all flight skills be converted into combat results.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
The tail gunner Hu Xiao pressed the mixer, and a string of tracer bullets with red envelopes flew towards the Type 96 warship. He could see the pilot in the cockpit of the enemy aircraft, yelling: "I'm going to kill you, you bastard little devil." , Come on, you bastards, come and kill the labor and capital..."
There are not many whizzing bullets anymore, so we have to save them.
Seeing the flames coming from the aircraft's machine gun, the pilot of the Japanese No. 113 Type 96 Battleship could only press the stick to dodge and keep the opponent from getting away. There were several times when he tried to knock out Martin and hit him hard. machine gunners, but they were all avoided by the opponent's fighter planes. At this time, he could even clearly see the expressions of the Chinese machine gunners swearing.
Between the two of them, one could feel the cannibalistic look in the other's eyes.
The current situation on the battlefield:
On the left side of the beach defense position, Chinese soldiers and the Japanese vanguard were engaged in hand-to-hand combat. The water had turned red, and the sounds of fighting, roars, screams before death, and the cries for help of the struggling soldiers who fell in the water outlined the scene. A bloody battlefield appears.
Due to the existence of this battlefield, the Japanese army was very uncomfortable. The beach troops could not deploy and were blocked in deep water and were very crowded. Moreover, they were worried that their own people were fighting hand-to-hand with the Chinese army and could not use firepower to attack. They could only continue to add troops, hoping to It is necessary to quickly capture the third company and the seventh company to open the attack on the east side;
On the right side of the position, the barrages of all the machine guns of the Chinese army still existed, which caused great damage to the Japanese troops who wanted to quickly seize the beach and were unable to carry heavy weapons. The Japanese troops rushed up like waves and were beaten by machine guns. Groups of brutal barrages blocked batches of harvests, corpses were floating everywhere on the water, and the blood turned the river red.
At 3 o'clock, Zhang Mufei's fighter plane had climbed above two thousand meters. The Type 96 warship that was clinging to him showed strong back force and circled upwards. It could only climb two more circles at most. The Fighter MKI fighter that can surpass Zhang Mufei, then at a high altitude, throttle back, press the stick, step on the rudder, choose the appropriate roll, easily turn the nose out, calmly complete the shooting advance, and wait for the Fighter MKI fighter to directly hit the ballistic trajectory.
As the fighter climbs upward at full power, the fighter's combat energy diminishes.
When a fighter jet dives downward from a high altitude, its combat energy will gradually increase with the speed of the dive.
Facing the Type 96 warship battle that has been modified in advance, if the Fighter MKI suddenly stops climbing, it will be like a car with a heavy cargo climbing uphill. It suddenly stalls on a steep slope and loses energy instantly. Moreover, the Fighter MKI fighter is spiraling and climbing, and suddenly stops climbing. If you want to recover, the fighter plane will immediately lose its tail and become uncontrollable;
If the Fighter MKI fighter jet continues to climb upward, the Type 96 Ship Battle, which has already occupied the shooting advance, will fire, waiting for the Fighter MKI to fly onto the trajectory.
It depends on how Zhang Mufei responds!
At 10 o'clock on the battlefield, Shen Chonghai was in almost the same situation as Zhang Mufei. His fighter plane climbed to two thousand meters, and the Type 96 warship chasing behind him climbed up opposite him. With full stamina, he could I saw the contempt and arrogance of the Japanese pilots.
When Yan Haiwen's fighter plane hit an enemy ship and crashed, and Ren Songling was killed when the fighter plane disintegrated in the air, the two Japanese Type 95 warplanes turned around and attacked Martin heavily.
At the same time, the other two wingmen of the two Japanese lead planes that attacked Shen Chonghai and Zhang Mufei also received orders from Colonel Koichiro Ishihara: to attack the Martin with all their strength and bombard them hard.
Colonel Ishihara Koichiro saw from the telescope that it was only a matter of time before two Type 96s shot down two Fighter MKI fighters in a battle, so he ordered six fighters to surround Martin and bombard him hard.
After receiving the order, the two wingmen immediately separated, one pounced towards the flank of Martin Heavy Bomb, and the other made a quick half-turn, rolled back, changed the direction of its nose, and flew towards Martin Heavy Bomb head-on.
Now, eight Japanese Type 95 and Type 96 warships besieged three Chinese military aircraft. Without the low-altitude fire suppression of the two Hawker 2s, the Japanese landing force immediately became active, and the soldiers jumped into the water one after another. While swimming on the shore, many Japanese troops swam directly to both sides of the Chinese beach defense positions. Although landing in deep water areas was very difficult, as long as some soldiers landed successfully, they could outflank the Chinese beach defense troops.
The tenacity of the Japanese army is world-famous. They swam to the bank of deep water with a dam and actually built a human ladder in the deep water...
At this time, due to the fierce fighting, the Chinese defenders tried their best to defend the Japanese troops from seizing the beach. Unknown to them, several small groups of Japanese troops built human walls from the deep water areas on both sides and climbed towards the flood control wall several meters high.
The enemy is strong and we are weak!
The situation is too obvious!
Without the air force standing between the two armies, the soldiers guarding the beach would have been unable to hold it long ago.
Many battles cannot be won by morale alone. Weapons and tactical literacy are more important.
Morale can be high, but it can also plummet.
It is not that only the Chinese army has morale. As a strong force, the morale of the Japanese army comes faster and lasts longer.
Six Type 95 and Type 96 ships attacked Martin from different directions and bombarded him heavily. Whoever completed the firing advance first would fire first.
"There is a Type 96 warship heading towards us at 3 o'clock!"
"At 12 o'clock on the front, a Type 95 warship appeared, flying at an altitude of about 2,200 meters..."
"Two enemy planes are approaching at six o'clock and 11 o'clock on the tail..."
"A Type 96 warship climbed to 3,500 meters with all its strength and dived towards us..."
The three machine gunners on the Martin Heavy held the machine guns in their hands tightly, their eyes widened, and their breathing was rapid. The four of them, including the bombardier Hawkeye, loudly reported the location of the incoming enemy aircraft to let their companions know and assign them. Which position does the machine gun defend?
There is insufficient ammunition, and all machine guns must not waste bullets.
Zhou Zhihan completely ignored the other five Japanese fighter planes that came to besiege him. Martin Heavy Bomb advanced at full speed and dived towards the Japanese plane that also dived towards the Chinese beach. With the strong enemy looking around, he must not mess up. To shoot once, to hit the west, you must focus on a specific point and hit hard.
When flying on a plane, the flying speeds of the Martin Heavy Bomb and the Type 96 Ship Battle are almost the same, but when diving, with the greater energy brought by the huge fuselage when diving, the speed of the Martin Heavy Bomb is much faster.
At this time, Martin heavily bombarded the sound-emitting device under the nose of the aircraft. Driven by the air, it made a sharp and harsh sound that resounded throughout the entire offensive and defensive position.
This harsh sound let all the Chinese defenders know that the Chinese Air Force is still fighting!
The four crew members loudly reported the location of the enemy aircraft. Zhou Zhihan heard it clearly. He immediately outlined the locations of the six enemy aircraft in his mind and made the best tactical choice at the same time.
At this moment, an accident happened suddenly. A Japanese bullet hit Yan Haiwen's parachute.
Suddenly, the parachute that floated towards the back of the Chinese defense force immediately changed its direction at low altitude and quickly descended towards the west side of the Chinese beach defense force.
As a result, the Chinese and Japanese sides each sent out more than a dozen soldiers to grab the pilot, shooting at each other to suppress each other, while running towards the place where Yan Haiwen might fall.
Just now, Zhou Zhihan was distracted by escorting Yan Haiwen, who was landing, but at this time, Yan Haiwen's parachute was punctured by a Japanese bullet and he immediately lost control.
This sudden change caused Zhou Zhihan to immediately lose the ability to protect Yan Haiwen, and he could only pursue the Japanese fighter jet that went to attack the Chinese machine gun position with all his strength.
A few seconds later, Yan Haiwen, who lost control of his parachute, fell to the Chinese position far away from the beach. Immediately, more than a dozen Japanese soldiers rushed toward him, screaming.
Just now, the commander of the fleet, Colonel Ishihara Koichiro, suddenly changed his mind and ordered the soldiers to capture the parachuting Chinese pilot alive, capture him, take photos and publish them in the newspapers, which would not only boost the morale of the imperial soldiers, but also undermine the confidence of the Chinese people.
It was because Colonel Ishihara Koichiro ordered the Chinese pilots to be captured alive that the dozens of Japanese soldiers who were surrounding them did not fire, allowing Yan Haiwen time to untie his parachute. However, the Japanese soldiers saw that Yan Haiwen had a gun in his hand and did not dare to push too hard. Tight, he just sat far away and gestured for Yan Haiwen to surrender.
"Go to Male Gobi." Yan Haiwen fired, hitting five Japanese soldiers. Then he pointed the gun at his temple and shouted loudly, "Sky sky, flying falcon, raging sea, brother, I will take the first step!"
The Japanese soldiers who came to round up Yan Haiwen simply did not believe that the Chinese pilot who blocked his temple with the muzzle of the gun really dared to shoot himself. They laughed together and gathered around to capture Yan Haiwen alive.
Only the warriors of the empire have the courage to commit suicide. The weak and timid Chinese soldiers would not dare to shoot themselves if they had ten more courages.
Looking at the sunrise in the east, Yan Haiwen smiled miserably, tears dripping from the corners of his eyes, and shouted to the sky: "There is no captured air force in our country!"
Pull the trigger!
"Bang!"
Yan Haiwen fell into the water and died a heroic death for his country!
At this moment, Shen Chonghai and Zhang Mufei's fighters suddenly recovered from their circling climb almost at the same time.
At this moment, Colonel Ishihara Koichiro, a former pilot, and Captain Yamashita Shichiro, the captain of the 13th Air Force's second detachment, almost simultaneously exclaimed that it was impossible.
