"Yeah, yeah, yeah! That fighter plane that just flew over is our Air Force! The pilot is wearing the flight suit of our Air Force." A resourceful air scout on the Chinese garrison position looked at the sky with a telescope, and yelled, "His never-broken wings are painted with our Blue Sky and White Sun emblem, and the serial number on the fuselage is No. 214. Yesterday, it was he who shot down two enemy planes in Kunshan. Yes, No. 214 Type 96 Ship War, with the blue sky and white sun emblem painted on the wings. That’s him!”
Yesterday, a Type 96 warship with China's Blue Sky and White Sun emblem painted on its wing shot down two Japanese fighter jets in Kunshan. The air battle victory spread rapidly among the army, as fast as the radio waves, and was constantly exaggerated during the spread. The Chinese defenders in Shanghai were greatly inspired by the myth.
It’s been a long time since we’ve seen the Chinese Air Force War Eagle in the Shanghai sky. Every time the Chinese defenders hear the sound of propellers and engines in the air, all they see when they look up are plaster flags and the whizzing down of aerial bombs, tracer bombs, and explosions. bomb.
Just now, one of our own fighter planes roared past and shot down an enemy plane. Everyone who was there cheered, and everyone who was there felt lucky.
"What? Is it our fighter plane?"
"Is it really our fighter plane?"
"Yes. It's our fighter plane. Our Chinese Air Force is still guarding us in the air."
"Our air force killed the little devil's plaster plane..."
"Another plane crashed into the enemy's position and exploded..."
"It's our plane...it was a good flight..."
"Look, our planes shot down two of them, and we're chasing the one that escaped..."
"Made, the bragging little devil ran away with his tail between his legs. It's such a relief..."
"The beating was good, the beating was wonderful, the little devil was screaming..."
The Chinese defenders are boiling, and everyone is venting their inner excitement. This is so inspiring. In the sky over Shanghai, China, there are still Chinese Air Force war eagles soaring.
"Everyone, enter combat status immediately, reinforce the lines, and fight at any time."
The commander wore a steel helmet and ran in the trench, loudly urging the soldiers to seize the time to strengthen the fortifications.
The Sakura No. 309 bomber that crashed on the Japanese position continued to explode with aerial bombs, shrapnel flying in random directions, flames rising into the sky, and smoke filling the sky, which greatly hindered the rhythm of the Japanese attack and gave the Chinese defenders more time. , organize a deeper defensive position.
This Chinese force arrived in Shanghai at noon yesterday. As soon as they got off the train, what greeted them was not the enchanting cheongsam on both sides of the Huangpu River, but a devastated battlefield of life and death.
The soldiers didn't even have time to take a breath, so they went straight to the outskirts of Luodian and stood ready. They watched helplessly as Japanese bombers circled over Luoding and frantically dropped bombs on the heads of the troops stationed in Luodian.
Now, with cover from the air, the defenders felt an extra sense of security.
Zhou Zhihan also saw two Type 95 warships flying rapidly from the southwest. It is possible that the No. 375 bomber had notified the Japanese aviation command of the air battle over Luodian.
Between the two Type 95 ships, Zhan must have identified the relationship between ourselves and the enemy.
There are communicators between all the Japanese fighter planes in Shanghai. Judging from the two-attack and two-plane formation of the two Type 95 warships, they should be coming to intercept, rather than dive bombing and attacking the Chinese ground forces.
Fighters that carry out battlefield bombing and ground strike missions usually disperse and attack the ground from all directions at the same time, causing the ground's anti-aircraft fire to miss the other. It is rare for two fighters to form a double attack formation to launch attacks on the ground. Strike, which can easily attract intensive anti-aircraft fire.
Zhou Zhihan decided to shoot down the Type 93 light bomber with No. 375 on the fuselage first.
A rare opportunity.
The threat of this slow bird to China's positions is no less than the threat of Type 95 and Type 96 ship battles.
The Type 95 and Type 96 ship-to-ship combat aircraft are air superiority combat aircraft. Their main tasks are to cover one's own bombers, fight with the opponent's fighter jets, or complete the penetration of enemy positions. The number of bombs they can carry is far less than that of the Type 93 light bomber. .
Just before, when there were no fighter jets covering the sky above the Chinese defenders, the Type 93 light bombers with large bomb loads posed a far greater threat to the Chinese defenders than the Type 95 and Type 96 ship-to-ship battles.
At an altitude of 2,600 meters, the Type 96 No. 214 rushed towards the Type 93 light bomber No. 375 at full speed, striving to shoot down the enemy bomber before the two Type 96s arrived.
Bomber No. 375 is also a veteran. He knows that his speed is far inferior to the Type 96 Ship Battle. His current position is 250 degrees southwest. If he flies towards the Type 95 Ship Battle located 130 degrees southeast, It is very likely that the Type 96 warship will be intercepted diagonally from a 90-degree angle to form a side attack. Once the opponent enters at a small angle, you will not be able to even increase the intersection angle and destroy the opponent's attack intention. You can watch the opponent with enough time to adjust the shooting distance and advance amount.
The pilot of No. 375 bomber gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk. He pressed the stick to the right, ruddered right, and then pushed forward slightly along the stick position. The wings of the Type 93 light bomber pointed at a 45-degree side angle to the sky and the earth, and the nose of the aircraft immediately tilted. Pointing to the southwest, dive at a small angle to increase the flight speed. This immediately lengthened the distance from the No. 214 Type 96 ship.
If No. 214 Type 96 warships follow a small-angle dive pursuit, even if they can shoot down the Type 93 light bomber before the two Type 95 warships arrive to intervene, No. 214 will also lower its altitude due to the dive and gradually decrease The energy reserved by the fighter planes became the target of the two Type 95 warships' dive attacks.
The pilot of Bomber 375 seemed to be taking a risk, but in fact it was a perfect reflection of his experience.
Abandoning the Type 95 battle against reinforcements coming from the southeast and flying southwest instead, the pilot of No. 375 allowed No. 214 to make an instant choice in the Type 96 battle.
If No. 214 follows up, even if it can finally shoot down the Type 93 light bomber, due to the active weakening of the fighter's energy, it will not be able to make a quick escape maneuver. The No. 214 fighter will survive the dive attack of the two Type 95 warships. Hope is slim.
The pilot of Sakura No. 375 bomber judged that No. 214 should not pursue it. No one would be willing to take the risk of being dived and attacked by two Type 95 warships to pursue another fighter plane.
Although military achievements can enhance a pilot's status in the military, life is more precious and important than any highest honor.
"idiot……"
After the pilot of Bomber No. 375 turned around, he glanced sideways at the Type 96 Battleship No. 214 due east. He suddenly panicked and cursed loudly.
Because No. 214 appeared in the direction pointed by the tip of his left wing and quickly pursued him. He was still less than 1,200 meters away from him, and the two reinforcements of the Type 95 were still 4 kilometers away, out of reach.
"Asshole, the damn Chinese actually use such a desperate attack method. Baga..."
The pilot of Bomber No. 375 was anxious, frightened and annoyed. Looking at the Battleship No. 214 that was diving rapidly towards the tip of the left wing, he felt disgusted. He frowned, with a fierce look in his eyes, and suddenly pulled back the throttle. The flying speed of the Type III light bomber immediately slowed down greatly. Then the control stick was pushed forward, the nose of the aircraft dropped, and it flew forward and downward at a slow speed.
Looking at the Type 93 light bomber that suddenly decelerated and dived in front of him, Zhou Zhihan secretly praised that the little Japanese pilot was indeed extraordinary. Whether it was courage, reaction or skill, he was first-rate.
At this time, the No. 214 Type 96 warship has not yet completed rear tracking, and it cannot form a shooting lead due to the long distance. If it maintains its flight speed, it will rush to the front of the Type 93 light bomber, changing from tracking to being tracked. , if the speed is reduced, the rear tracking is barely completed, and the firing is completed in advance, even if No. 214 shoots down No. 375, it will fly slowly at a low altitude due to excessive combat energy consumption, and will have no energy to make defensive maneuvers to avoid the attack from No. 214. From the tip of the left wing of the No. 1, two Type 95 warships were tracking in a double attack.
At the same time, the pilots of the two Type 95 warships that were speeding over also saw the situation ahead, and at the same time gave the pilot of the Sakura 375 Type 93 light bomber a thumbs up.
In the current crisis situation, there is no better way than the response maneuver performed by Sakura 375.
"Sakura No. 375, No. 375 Sakura, your response maneuver is wonderful. Our reinforcements will be in place immediately to flank No. 214... what..." the pilot of No. 407 Type 95 Battleship suddenly exclaimed, "Asshole... he actually He was doing a heavy overload roller maneuver with the nose pointing up, bastard...he corrected it, and the nose bit you, Baga...how did he do it...he opened fire..."
