Just now, Zhou Zhihan deliberately pressed down the stick and dived, making the two Japanese pilots think that his physical strength was exhausted during the chase, so they followed without worries and fell into a trap.
When Zhou Zhihan used the Imman maneuver, the lead Japanese aircraft Sakura No. 407 was afraid that it would collide with the wingman Sakura No. 421 who was also diving, so he hesitated for 0.5 seconds, so 214 was lost in front of him. The tail of the battleship, and then I heard the exclamation of Sakura 421...
In air combat, especially in multi-aircraft air combat, many maneuvers will not be performed unless absolutely necessary.
During the melee, you may have been killed by a passing enemy plane before you could even complete an Imman maneuver.
In multi-aircraft air combat, especially in large formation air combat on both sides, the most straightforward and effective technique is to go straight in, fire, pull up, disengage, and escape.
Fuel leakage is not a big deal for propeller aircraft. As long as it can escape from the battlefield without being tracked by enemy aircraft, there is a high chance of returning home safely.
There is not much difference between the engine-free landing technology and the powered landing technology for Zhou Zhihan.
An old bird with more than 10,000 hours of flying time can still land safely with a pair of claws even if its wings are broken.
At the moment when he was about to turn and prepare to return home, Zhou Zhihan's heart was moved. As two Type 95 warships and two Type 93 light bombers crashed on the Japanese position, gasoline from the aircraft was poured all over the ground, and the fire spread. The smoke billowed and the area of the position shrank, squeezing the Japanese defense formation into a crowded position.
The Chinese army attacked fiercely, and the Japanese army defended intensively. The two sides were one to two hundred meters apart, and the exchange of fire was fierce.
Although the Japanese army saw that they had lost several fighter planes one after another, and their confidence was hit, they had the advantage in weapons and still firmly contained the Chinese army's counterattack.
After taking a look at the fuel gauge, Zhou Zhihan pulled the lever, and the fighter plane climbed northwest, entered the clouds and disappeared.
Many defenders on the Chinese position waved and saluted the No. 214 ship that disappeared into the clouds. Many soldiers saluted the military salute and thanked the Air Force for its strong support.
If it hadn't been for the existence of Ship Battle No. 214 today, five consecutive Japanese attacks and bombings would have killed and injured most of the soldiers on the Chinese position. By noon, another tragedy would have resulted in the complete annihilation of the entire army.
It's nice to have your own air force shelter above your head.
With binoculars in hand, the Japanese air reconnaissance personnel who closely monitored every move of the No. 214 ship battle breathed a sigh of relief. The aerial killer finally flew away due to fuel shortage, so more than a dozen heavy machine guns set up for air defense were put away and put into use. Forward fire support for forward positions.
The Japanese ground forces have received a call from the aircraft carrier. Due to the loss of five fighter planes in succession, no more fighter planes will be sent to support the Japanese troops attacking Luodian today, but there will be army reinforcements.
The Japanese Air Force wanted to figure out why a Type 96 battleship was able to shoot down five Imperial military aircraft in a row. Before that, we will no longer blindly send fighter planes to support the bombing to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Therefore, the Japanese army pressed up the reserve team to first withstand the morale of the Chinese army and wait for reinforcements.
The morale of the Chinese army was high, and the offensive became more and more fierce. The Japanese army gradually felt the pressure, and the reserve force's firepower stepped up and immediately stopped the decline.
The Japanese army's forward trenches were densely packed with soldiers, and all available heavy weapons were used to suppress the high morale of the Chinese army.
At this time, General Hasegawa Kiyoshi was in the command room of the flagship [Izumo], pacing back and forth with a grim expression.
Several major generals, the colonel and the lieutenant colonel stood aside with their heads lowered, not daring to breathe.
Due to the loss of five fighter planes one after another, the Japanese commander General Kiyoshi Hasegawa was very angry. Five of the empire's fighter planes were actually shot down by a Type 96 warship. Tanichuan Qing was humiliated.
Moreover, it was actually a Type 96 Warship that shot down five military aircraft. It was obvious that this Type 96 Warship had become a prisoner and accomplice of the Chinese, which simply brought shame to the empire.
In front of General Hasegawa Kiyoshi's desk, kneeling was Colonel Yamashita Shichiro, the captain of the 2nd Division of the 13th Air Force. In front of him, there was a sword and a white towel. His face was pale, and there were beads of sweat on his temples. Gungun, the buttons of his military uniform had been unbuttoned, revealing his white shirt, ready to commit suicide at any time.
Just ten minutes ago, the Japanese ground troops attacking Luodian called and said that a plane with the blue sky and white sun emblem painted on the wing and the No. 214 Type 96 warship on the fuselage quickly shot down three of them and went to bomb. Type 93 light bombers at the Chinese garrison position in Luodian.
What?
Three imperial bombers were actually shot down by a Type 96 ship with the blue sky and white sun emblem painted on the wings?
How can this be?
How is it possible that the Type 96 warship's wings are painted with the blue sky and white sun emblem?
Were the people on the ground confused?
The skeptical General Kiyoshi Hasegawa was furious and immediately asked the commander of the aviation force, Colonel Yamashita Shichiro, to come to the headquarters and ask him how the Type 96 battleship with the blue sky and white sun emblem painted on the wing fell into the hands of the Chinese. .
Yamashita Shichiro slapped himself twice and then lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't know.
Next, the war room fell into deathly silence.
Just as General Kiyoshi Hasegawa and the combat personnel were waiting for reconfirmation, the battle phone rang again. Two Type 95 battleships were shot down one after another within a minute, but they were still shot down by the Type 96 battleship numbered 214. Shot down.
General Hasegawa Kiyoshi was angry and furious.
Colonel Yamashita Shichiro immediately knelt down, reached out to take off his sword, took out a white handkerchief, wiped it several times, put it in front of him, untied his military uniform, and prepared to commit suicide by committing suicide.
Previously, the commanders of the Kanoya Air Wing and the Kisarazu Air Wing, which were defeated over Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport, chose to commit suicide by committing suicide in order to apologize.
"You want to commit suicide. It's not that easy to die." General Kiyoshi Hasegawa said coldly to Colonel Yamashita Shichiro, "I'll give you a chance to make meritorious deeds. Within three days, find the man who piloted the Type 96 Shoot down the Chinese pilot with the number 214 on his body and publish his head in the newspapers. This way you can not only avenge the shame, but also completely eliminate the remaining hope of the Chinese Air Force in the hearts of the Shanghai defenders."
"Hi!"
Colonel Yamashita Shichiro's eyes were firm, he stood up with a saber in both hands, stood at attention with his feet together, lowered his head, "Your Excellency, Commander, within three days, I will definitely use this knife to chop off the head of the Chinese Air Force's No. 214 fighter pilot. Give it to you as a trophy!”
"Well! There is a Chinese saying that killing kills the heart, and there is also a famous saying that attacking the heart is the best!" General Hasegawa Kiyoshi's eyes were cold. "Cut off his head and hang it on the flagpole of the Shanghai Municipal Government Building. Let’s take a look at the soldiers and civilians in Shanghai. Where they once hung the national flag, they now hang the heads of the so-called air force heroes in their minds.”
"Hi!" Colonel Yamashita Shichiro bowed his head again and saluted, "I have a top-secret plan. If I can force this Chinese pilot to show up, I will shoot him down over the heads of all Shanghai citizens and chop off his head."
Just when Hasegawa Kiyoshi, Yamashita Shichiro and others were plotting how to shoot down China's No. 214 fighter, the No. 214 warship had already flown into the clouds, the throttle was given to the minimum, the propeller sound was also minimized, and it turned slowly at a large angle at the slowest speed. Follow the clouds and make a detour toward the rear of the Japanese position.
Turning off the propellers and engines, Ship Battle No. 214 was like a ghost, appearing silently behind the Japanese position.
