When it was his turn to attend the Air Force Academy, Zhou Zhihan’s teacher, General Pat Plouffe, once said that if you are studying and discussing how to defend against aircraft gun attacks, it is very useful to view aircraft guns as a system.
In this system, any part must work effectively to ensure that the system completes its mission. The destruction of any part may cause the entire system to malfunction. The more neutrons in a system are destroyed, the greater the chance of success of the entire system. Small.
The aircraft gun system mainly includes the ammunition of the aircraft gun, the launch platform, the sight, and the pilots who control the aircraft gun shooting.
The combination of aircraft guns and their ammunition determines, to a large extent, the farthest effective shooting distance under different target projection ratios.
It mainly includes the following factors, the muzzle velocity of the warhead, the rate of fire, the scattering rate, the aerodynamic characteristics of the warhead, and the concealment characteristics (such as tracer bullets that can be seen visually and ordinary warheads that cannot be seen visually).
For now, the most effective way to defend against aircraft cannon fire is to keep fighter aircraft outside the effective shooting distance of the opponent's aircraft cannon.
What Zhou Zhihan can do outside the effective range is to accelerate the escape.
The speeds of the Type 95 ship battle and the Type 96 ship battle are almost the same. If you want to leave the battlefield, you can do it at any time, but obviously Zhou Zhihan is not prepared to do this. The purpose of his flight here is to destroy as many enemy planes as possible. Try to bring even a glimmer of hope to the precarious Shanghai defenders as much as possible.
In fact, the Japanese pilots of the two Type 95 Battleships were eager for Zhou Zhihan to leave the battlefield quickly. Even if they currently had a two-on-one advantage, they were unwilling to fight the No. 214 Type 96 Battleship.
The scene where the Type 96 ship battle No. 214 had just shot down the Type 93 light bomber made the two Japanese pilots admire and fear them.
Shaking the fuselage slightly, Zhou Zhihan glanced at the two Type 95 Battleships that were holding tightly but obviously did not dare to get too close. A trace of ridicule emerged from the corner of his mouth. These two Japanese pilots were obviously interested in the 214th Battleship. There is a lot of fear.
It seems that the serial number of Ship Battle No. 214 is already well known among Japanese pilots.
This is good.
But you have to have faith.
I have to give you confidence.
Otherwise, you will just follow me from a distance, trying to play a hide-and-seek game with me. But I am an adult and I have the obligation to guide you with confidence.
After taking a look at the Chinese defenders on the ground, Zhou Zhihan decided to direct the flames of war to the little devil's head.
Ship Battle No. 214 slightly retracted the throttle, quietly a little bit, and waited until the lead aircraft of the Japanese aircraft followed up, then pressed the right stick, lightly stepped on the right rudder with the right foot, and put the left foot on the left rudder. , the wings of the fighter plane pointed at the sky and the earth at an angle of 35 degrees, the nose of the fuselage shook and turned right.
Sakura No. 407 was overjoyed. The deceleration during the turn of No. 214 was a fatal mistake. He pressed the right lever instantly and seized this golden opportunity. The nose of the aircraft pointed in front of the right nose of No. 214, forming a Measure ahead and fire.
"Dodo dodo!"
Tracer bullets are scattered, heading towards the battle of No. 214
As the wingman, Sakura No. 421 must slow down for a half beat at this time to allow the lead aircraft enough turning space, maintain the maximum distance between the two aircraft, and avoid the risk of collision with the lead aircraft during sharp turns. He is at a high altitude Witnessing the lead aircraft firing, I expected that the No. 214 ship battle was doomed. The legendary No. 214 ship battle was nothing more than that.
Just as Sakura No. 412 Type 95 paused for a moment, preparing to follow up and turn, waiting to see the moment when No. 214 was shot down in battle.
Suddenly No. 214 Battleship suddenly pressed the left stick and left rudder. The fighter plane turned left at a small angle and flew toward the southeast. It instantly got rid of Sakura No. 407 Type 95, which had already formed a turn and thought it had completed the advance and opened fire.
A series of machine gun fires flew into the distance. Under the resistance of the air and the attraction of the earth's center, the fires gradually became lower, fell, and disappeared.
Sakura No. 407 Type 95 immediately lost its position and watched helplessly as the aerial bomb it blasted disappeared into the distance.
Seeing that the lead aircraft was out of position and had not yet turned, Sakura No. 412 Type 95 reacted quickly. She immediately lowered the nose of the aircraft, took advantage of the high altitude to cut in at a small angle, and then tightly bit the tail of No. 214 Ship Battle. In an instant From the wingman to the lead aircraft in the lead, it accelerated the follow-up, trying to complete the rear hemisphere tracking, and constantly looking for lead time to prepare for firing.
Although Sakura 407 failed to hit Ship Battle No. 214, from the perspective of the pilot of Sakura 412, although Ship Battle No. 214 was successfully evaded, it was still extremely embarrassing.
Different angles, different altitudes, and different changes in viewing things. From the perspective of the pilot of Sakura No. 412, it was only a matter of time before he shot down the No. 214 ship.
Ship battle No. 214 was not as powerful as it was cracked up to be.
Haha, many people's reputations are based on bragging.
Sakura No. 407 Type 95 was thrown away, but he reacted quickly. He pulled the nose back in a small maneuver, took advantage of the high altitude, accelerated forward and became a trailing wingman, 50 meters higher than the wingman of Sakura No. 412. Position, continue to suppress the No. 214 ship from raising its head, and prevent it from having the opportunity to shoot in a 180-degree swing.
too fast!
The three planes completed the pointing of their noses in an instant. Due to the change in orientation, Sakura No. 412 Type 95 changed to the right rear of No. 214, and Sakura No. 407 Type 95 switched to a teaser aircraft, higher than the lead aircraft. Flying at the left rear of the lead aircraft at an altitude of 50 meters, it still formed a lagging pincer formation for the No. 214 ship battle, and perfectly blocked the opportunity for the No. 214 ship battle to make a 180-degree turn and shoot.
However, the two fighters Sakura 412 Type 95 and Sakura 407 Type 95 did not notice that after this sharp turn, they had tried their best to avoid the tactics of not following the flight path of the No. 214 ship battle, and unknowingly time is broken.
Ship Battle No. 214 made another series of sharp turns with a small radius, forcing the two Type 95 Ship Battles to take turns changing the order of the lead aircraft and wingman.
After the No. 214 battleship made a sharp turn with a small radius, it immediately flew in a straight line, throwing the Sakura No. 407 Type 95, which had become the lead aircraft, to the farthest visible distance behind the tail.
After this series of sharp turns and straight flights with a small radius, Ship Battle No. 214 directly entered the sky above the Japanese position.
Seeing that the lead aircraft was thrown away, Sakura No. 412 Type 95 immediately took advantage of the high altitude to dive, trading height for speed, and once again continued to put pressure on No. 214, forming a tracking in the rear hemisphere.
After a chase, the fear of the two Type 95 warship pilots was gradually eliminated. The two of them took turns stepping forward to act as the lead aircraft, and attacked and suppressed the opponent without a chance to breathe. They took advantage of the energy of the two Type 95 fighters. Superimposed, constant impact and oppression of No. 214 Ship Battle. Under such repeated attacks, the physical strength of the No. 214 Ship Battle pilot will soon be exhausted, and his flaws will be exposed immediately, and he can only wait for the fate of being shot down.
The two Japanese pilots knew that if they could shoot down the No. 214 ship, their status in the military would rise a lot, and each of them would be promoted at least one level.
The oppressed and desperate No. 214 suddenly lowered its nose at a small angle and dived downwards, with the intention of taking advantage of the dive to establish a speed advantage.
The pilot of Sakura No. 412 Type 95 was overjoyed in the long position. The pilot of No. 214 Battle was finally exhausted. In desperation, he wanted to dive for speed to get rid of the tracking, then pressed the stick to turn the wings, and then pulled Get out of the battlefield.
"Baga! You can think of the tactic of trading dive for speed and leaving the battlefield."
The pilot of Sakura No. 412 Type 95 smiled ferociously, immediately pressed the stick and followed.
In order to maintain the formation and maintain continuous pressure on the enemy, wingman Sakura No. 407 also pressed the lever and dived.
Zhou Zhihan dived and increased his power, and just when a few mosquito-like black shadows appeared in front of him... Several more mosquito-like shadows appeared, and he suddenly pulled back the control stick with all his strength. The Type 96 ship battle was like a monster. Raise your head and arc upward until the tail of the aircraft points vertically to the ground. Press the stick left, and the wings will complete a 180-degree roll to the left to increase energy without losing altitude. Push the rudder hard with your left foot, unfold the flaps, and the tail will take control. Rolled 90 degrees, the fuselage recovered horizontally, and the nose of the aircraft was pointed directly at the enemy wingman Sakura 407.
Imman maneuver.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Ship battle No. 214 opens fire.
