Zhou Zhihan gritted his teeth, pressed the lever, and broke through to the southwest where the Japanese aircraft were weakest in defense. He first took advantage of the high altitude and dived to escape. In a moment, he flew out of the Japanese ambush circle and surrounded Zhang Mufei and Shen Chonghai between several Japanese aircraft. passed over the sky.
He couldn't save the two of them if he stayed, and he would have to take the lives of Martin Heavy Bomb and Hu Xiao.
Several of the trailing Type 96 warships opened fire, but the distance was too far and the aerial bombs could not reach them. Several Japanese planes still pursued them relentlessly.
Zhou Zhihan's eyes were red and he couldn't bear to look back in the rearview mirror!
The three machine gunners burst into tears.
On the ground behind Martin's heavy bombardment, there were raging fires and rumbling explosions on the beach defense position.
And three Type 96 land attack aircraft began to launch the third wave of attacks.
The two thousand soldiers guarding the beach suffered heavy casualties under the repeated attacks of three Japanese Type 96 land attack aircraft. Almost the entire army was wiped out. After all, they failed to wait for reinforcements.
On the left side of the initial defensive position, there were still twenty or thirty soldiers from the Third Company and the Seventh Company. They had no way to survive. They were all surrounded back to back in a circle by the Japanese army. Their whole bodies were stained red with blood and water, and they were yelling for courage to fight to the death. Would rather die than surrender.
In the air behind Martin's heavy bombardment were two Fighter MKI fighter jets with no way out.
Just as Martin's heavy bombardment passed over the two Fighter MKI fighters, Shen Chonghai and Zhang Mufei opened fire almost at the same time. The only one second of bullets left on the two fighters almost simultaneously severely damaged the two Japanese planes that were caught off guard. Exiting the battlefield with black smoke.
The remaining Japanese military planes arrived suddenly.
They originally thought that the two Chinese fighter planes had long since lost their aerial bombs. The reason why they were not shot down directly was because they wanted to keep them as target drones for the Imperial Air Force to practice shooting and various siege tactics in the air.
Not long ago, the pilots of several Japanese fighter planes clearly saw two Chinese fighter planes firing their last dense tracer rounds.
The fighter plane fired dense tracer bullets at the end to remind the pilot that the bullets were about to run out and there were only two seconds left.
The aircraft at this time was not equipped with a residual bomb indicator.
Therefore, tracer bombs are also used to remind nervous pilots that the bombs are about to run out.
Previously, a tracer bomb was mixed with five aerial bombs to help the pilot correct the trajectory.
For the purpose of reminding pilots, intensive tracer bullets were installed before the last 60 rounds of ammunition in the magazine, indicating that there were not many aerial bombs left.
After seeing two Fighter MKI fighter jets firing dense tracer bullets, several Japanese pilots silently remembered it. After Zhang Mufei and Shen Chonghai pressed the machine gun button for the last two seconds and fired aerial bombs, the Japanese pilots judged that the two Chinese military aircraft had run out of bullets. So they surrounded the two Fighter MKI fighter jets unscrupulously, treating them as tricks.
But the Japanese pilots didn't know that just a few days ago, the Chinese pilots changed the reloading mode. After the dense tracer bullets were fired, they had 90 rounds of bullets left in three seconds. The remaining 30 rounds in one second were left in the desperate situation. Launching an unexpected and fatal blow to the Japanese army.
Used it today and it really worked!
Shen Chonghai and Zhang Mufei succeeded in one attack and immediately pulled up, chasing Martin's heavy bombardment of several Type 96 ships head-on and into the rear.
"boom!"
A Type 96 ship-to-ship battle did not expect that the Chinese military aircraft would resort to a strategy of mutual destruction. It was unable to dodge and collided with Shen Chonghai's Fighter MKI fighter. It exploded and disintegrated in the air with a double-click.
"The angry sea!"
Seeing Shen Chonghai die for his country, Zhang Mufei yelled, "Brother..."
The rest of the Type 96 ship battle did not expect the Chinese pilots to use this life-threatening fighting style. They were so frightened that they did not care about pursuing Martin and bombarded them hard, and quickly dispersed.
Zhang Mufei's purpose of covering Martin's heavy bombardment was achieved. When the two fighter planes collided, a big explosion occurred in the air. When the remaining Japanese planes panicked, the aircraft quickly left the battlefield and flew northwest. He did not dare to follow the direction of Martin's heavy bombardment. Fearing that the Japanese troops would follow him caused Martin to bombard him heavily.
After more than ten seconds, Martin's three machine gunners who bombarded them determined that the following Japanese fighter planes had been thrown away and disappeared. They could only see in the distance that the position that once belonged to the Chinese beach defenders had turned into a fire dragon. , lasting in their eyes.
The three people finally burst into tears!
In this battle, China lost four more fighter planes. Shen Chonghai's last aircraft to cover them, and the scene of dying together with the Type 96 ship battle, was branded in their minds, and they will not forget it until they die!
The abdominal machine gunner Gale was dying and in a coma.
When Martin Heavy Bomb flew 30 kilometers away from Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, the lookout post on the ground discovered them and immediately reported to the airport.
"Chang... Changkong, Eagle Eye... Lie Lie... Gale Wind, my... suicide note... also contains the address..."
This is the sound of a tiger roaring.
"Huxiao, what's going on?"
Zhou Zhihan, Eagle Eye, and Xifeng asked at the same time.
Huxiao said nothing.
Xifeng quickly climbed out of his cockpit and climbed towards the rear gunner's cockpit.
"Tiger roars..."
The west wind cried and hugged the tiger.
"Xifeng...what's going on?"
Zhou Zhihan and Eagle Eye shouted.
"Hu Xiao's stomach was punctured and his intestines came out... Hu Xiao, please wake up Hu Xiao..."
Xifeng cried and called out to the unconscious Hu Xiao, not knowing what to do with the intestines flowing out from Hu Xiao.
Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport was in sight from a distance. When I heard the report from the lookout post, everything was ready in the airport. Both sides of the runway were lined with medical staff, soldiers, mechanics, airport staff and commanders.
Martin landed firmly with a heavy bomb.
The fuselage was riddled with bullet marks.
All the people on both sides of the airport rushed over.
Zhou Zhihan, West Wind, Eagle Eye shouted to save people quickly.
The medical staff rushed forward and got Huxiao and Liefeng out of the cabin. Both of them were dying.
Hu Xiao's stomach was opened diagonally by shrapnel, his intestines flowed out, and he was covered in blood.
Tiger Roar was hit by shrapnel when Zhou Zhihan tried to shoot down three Type 96 Land Attackers. In order to prevent Zhou Zhihan, Eagle Eye and Xifeng from being distracted, he just endured without making a sound.
Gale's severed limb was still bleeding, almost dry.
Everyone at the airport was silent and looked solemn.
Five fighter planes were sent to support the Wusongkou garrison, but only one came back with injuries all over. The rest may never come back.
A ground staff member took the escalator to help open the cockpit cover of Martin's heavy bomb, and helped Zhou Zhihan climb out and walk to the ground.
Normally, when a fighter plane lands and stops, airport staff will immediately come to open the cabin cover first, but today, Zhou Zhihan was the last one to leave the fighter plane.
Zhou Zhihan had been paying attention to the gale and the roar of the tiger, and he didn't care that the pilots in front of his nose were looking at him anxiously.
As soon as I walked down the escalator to the ground, six strangers in casual clothes suddenly walked out of the crowd.
"Are you Major Zhou Zhihan, chief instructor of the Air Force?"
A middle-aged man with an ordinary figure and appearance that would not attract anyone's attention in the crowd walked up to him and asked.
Zhou Zhihan was stunned: "It's me. Are you?"
"Oh!" The ordinary-looking middle-aged man smiled, nodded, stretched out his hand, and said enthusiastically, "We are from the newspaper office, and we have something to do with you."
"Cough cough cough..."
Zhou Zhihan heard a familiar cough beside him, but he didn't pay attention. He stretched out his hand and held the middle-aged man's hand.
Only our own people can enter Jianqiao Airport. During the war, ordinary people cannot enter at all.
The moment they shook hands, Zhou Zhihan suddenly felt a chill on his wrists. While his wrists were being burned by the yellow handcuffs, several other strangers also grabbed him at the same time.
