The Japanese planes saw through Martin's heavy bombing intention.
They were prepared.
There were six Type 95 and Type 96 naval battle interceptors between three Chinese fighter planes and three Japanese Type 96 land attack aircraft.
The Type 96 land attack is also a treasure of the Japanese army. The last time due to the Japanese army's carelessness, heavy losses were suffered over Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, which led to the destruction of the prestige of Kanoya Air Force and Kisarazu Air Force, and the captain Yoshii Ishii committed suicide to apologize.
Therefore, for safety, Colonel Ishihara Koichiro deployed six fighter planes to protect the Type 96 land attack.
Without too much entanglement, Martin accelerated with a heavy blast and got rid of a Type 96 warship approaching from the 4 o'clock direction. The pilot of the enemy plane was about to press the button to shoot, but he felt his eyes blurred. He had just The shot lead that you worked so hard to build up is gone.
How is this going?
The Japanese pilot, who was two feet tall, was confused.
this……
how so?
He quickly released his hand that was about to press the button on the joystick and rubbed his eyes. Maybe he was dazzled.
The speed of Martin's heavy bombardment increased by 30%, reaching 460 kilometers per hour, which was equivalent to the speed of the Type 96 warship. The sudden acceleration just now caused the Type 96 warship intercepted at 4 o'clock to be suddenly lost. The shooting advance.
Martin Heavy Bomb was like a strange green metal bird that got rid of the interception of a Type 96 naval battle and pounced towards the Type 96 land attack that began to dive in preparation for the second attack on the Chinese beach defenders.
Directly in front of Martin's heavy bombardment, three Type 95 warships formed a three-plane attack formation to intercept head-on.
In an air battle in which more aircraft and fewer aircraft have an absolute advantage, two-plane formations and three-finger formations do not require wingman protection at the rear and flanks, and directly evolve into double-attack formations and three-attack formations.
Especially when a three-machine attack formation launches an attack together, the spread area of the projectiles becomes very wide. When the three aircraft fire at the same time, the bullet coverage can change from a line to an area, attacking with a sector-shaped firepower, [forming a projectile killing density] Zone], the probability of hitting or destroying enemy aircraft increases exponentially.
[Projectile Killing Density Zone], also known as [Dispersion Surface Adjustment] shooting technique, is suitable for rookie pilots who are not very skilled in shooting.
Veteran pilots with superb shooting skills and excellent skills often disdain the use of three-plane attack formations.
Because when the three-plane attack formation shot down the enemy plane, all three of them had military exploits, and the pilot with superb shooting skills shot down the enemy plane alone, achieving fruitful results.
When a three-plane attack formation is attacking, the flying heights of the three planes will be staggered by five meters. This method is to adjust each fighter plane to move slightly up, down, left, and right when shooting, so that the aerial bombs can form a larger dispersion area. The advantage of shooting is that the hit rate of a shotgun is higher than the hit rate of a rifle.
The aerial warfare method that evolved from the three-finger formation to the three-attack formation is very suitable for ordinary pilots. This shooting method gives them more chances to hit and higher air survivability.
At 230 meters, three Type 95 warships opened fire at the same time.
"Duoduoduo..."
The red tracer bullets were in the shape of a fan and were fired head-on towards Martin. The firepower was very fierce. The Japanese aircraft had the absolute advantage and did not skimp on ammunition at all. They kept pressing the machine gun button and continuously output fan-shaped firepower.
The three Japanese planes wanted to strike head-on and shot down the Chinese Air Force's guard Martin with a heavy bombardment, which was the first success!
Zhou Zhihan saw red flames spitting out from the nose of the enemy plane against the background of the blue sky. At the same time, he yanked the control stick to increase power. The Martin Heavy Bomber lifted the nose of the plane and forcibly climbed up at a high angle of attack of 75 degrees. He used unreasonable, The simplest climbing maneuver avoided the fan-shaped firepower net blasted by three Type 95 warships at the same time.
Martin Heavy Bomb did not perform any fancy maneuvers, just the most effective, simple, and rough maneuver to escape.
And this simple and crude lifting to the extreme was achieved by Zhou Zhihan to the extreme, and it has the ultimate effect.
The three pilots of the Type 95 ship battle were confused again. The [projectile kill density area] they were bound to win actually failed?
how so?
Their three-finger formation had practiced this tactic countless times during target practice [Projectile Killing Density Zone]. Not to mention the Martin Heavy Bomber, which was as huge as a steel monster bird, it was just a little sparrow. Under their joint attack It's impossible to escape.
In fact, even with a 30% increase in power, the speed of Martin's heavy bombardment can only be comparable to that of the Type 96 ship-to-ship battle, but its ability to suddenly increase power is beyond the reach of all current fighter jets.
This is like a person practicing shooting a target with a shotgun. The normal speed of the target is 350 kilometers per hour. If the speed of the target suddenly increases to 460 kilometers, he will immediately be at a loss.
Japan's Type 96 warships are the best and fastest fighter aircraft at the moment, and the imaginary enemies of the Japanese aviation in China are naturally the Hawker 3 and Fighter MKI fighters, as well as Martin Heavy Bombers and other bombers that are much slower than them. I have conducted in-depth research on these Chinese fighter jets and practiced targeted shooting!
Therefore, the sudden acceleration of Martin Heavy Bomb made it difficult for the Japanese to adapt.
The Martin Heavy Bomb suddenly increased the speed from less than 350 kilometers per hour to 460 kilometers per hour. Not to mention the propeller-type Japanese aircraft could not keep up, even the jet fighters could not catch up. It was impossible to increase the speed to 110 kilometers per hour in a few seconds.
Just at the moment when the Martin Heavy Bomber boosted its afterburner, all the Japanese pilots thought they were dazzled, and all the crew members on the Martin Heavy Bomber suddenly felt like they were pressed tightly against the back of their seats. For a moment, it seemed that they were all Breathing was suppressed and stopped.
Martin's heavy bombardment forcibly pulled it up. Although it avoided the "projectile kill density area" issued by the three Type 95 warships' joint attack, it also changed the forward flight distance to an upward climbing distance. It and the three In fact, the distance between the 96-style land attack has not changed much.
Just as Martin's heavy bombardment suddenly pulled up to avoid the fan-shaped bullet surface, the three Japanese Type 96 land attack aircraft also began to launch another diving attack on the troops defending the beach.
The attack of the Type 96 land attack is very layered. The first land attack dives first and releases the bomb. The machine gunner opens fire. After the bomb is released and the bullets are used up, it pulls above the clouds of explosion flames and rising black smoke. Ascend, break away, and then the second land attack aircraft launches seamless continuous strikes, misplaced machine guns to bombard, and bombardiers to misplace bombs, and then roars up to a certain height and hovers, waiting for an opportunity to attack again.
When the third Type 96 Land Attack dived again, the position of the beach defenders was already a sea of fire...
Zhou Zhihan could only watch helplessly as the third Japanese Type 96 land attack launched a blind-angle, leak-picking attack...
And just as Martin was heavily bombarding to avoid the [projectile damage density area] emitted by the three Type 95 warships rising upwards, the Japanese three Type 96 warships were well prepared and quickly increased their speed to meet them.
Although the speed of Martin's heavy bombardment suddenly increased to the extreme, it climbed almost vertically, while the Type 96 ship battle climbed diagonally, which negated the effects of Martin's heavy bombardment after the sudden afterburner. The distance advantage between the troops guarding the beach has also become evenly matched in terms of speed.
From high in the sky, Zhou Zhihan and all the crew members saw a sea of fire on the beach position, surrounding all the soldiers.
General Yi Anhua, who was holding a machine gun and shooting wildly at enemy planes in the sky, also died heroically in this wave of attacks launched by the Japanese army.
Zhou Zhihan gritted his teeth and pulled back to control the rear left rudder. Martin hit hard and flew upside down, then recovered and flew towards Zhang Mufei and Shen Chonghai, who were already in dire straits.
Zhou Zhihan shouted:
"Flying Falcon, Nu Hai, I will cover your retreat! Eagle Eye, Hu Xiao, Xifeng, the three of you keep your positions, let's cover Fei Falcon and Nu Hai's departure first!"
Eagle Eye, Tiger Roar, and West Wind shouted almost simultaneously: "No more bullets!"
Their voices were filled with desperation.
19 to 3.
Anyone else would be in despair.
Just before Martin's heavy bombardment suddenly increased, the three of them had already used up all the remaining bullets in order to stop the enemy planes that were approaching from all directions.
Zhou Zhihan was stunned. Didn't he just use the system to refill the ammunition for Martin Heavy Bomb?
After a few seconds, Zhou Zhihan understood that the system could only refill the bullets for the machine gun he controlled.
Shen Chonghai shouted: "Changkong, I am Nu Hai. I only have one second of bullets left. I can't go back. I will cover you and Feifan to leave!"
Shen Chonghai's fighter plane was injured in many places. Under the siege of several enemies, the fuselage was riddled with holes and was on the verge of collapse. He only relied on his superb flying skills to hold on.
China's early pilots persisted in honing their flying skills and never slackened off. They were all considered aces, but they were limited by the performance of their fighter planes.
"I only have one second of bullets left." Zhang Mufei also shouted loudly, "I can't fly back, I'll cover you to leave."
The Japanese pilots seemed to know that Shen Chonghai's No. 904 fighter and Zhang Mufei's No. 503 fighter had no aerial bombs, so they regarded them as target aircraft for target practice and did not destroy them for the time being.
"Fei Falcon and I stayed to protect Changkong!" Shen Chonghai shouted loudly, "The address of my home is in the suicide note. If Changkong can go back, please give all my belongings to my mother!"
Zhang Mufei's plane was also riddled with holes: "Zhangkong! There is an address in my suicide note! Let's go!"
"Let's go..."
Shen Chonghai and Zhang Mufei shouted and urged Zhou Zhihan to leave, "It's too late if we don't leave."
There is at most half a minute left in afterburner.
