The two planes made a sharp turn with a small radius almost simultaneously, then pulled up and flew head-on.
The heads on both sides of the Yellow River turned with the two fighter planes. No one spoke, only the sound of the propellers and engines of the two fighter planes could be heard.
All Chinese people had sweaty palms, and some were moved to tears.
The war-torn motherland brings people to tears.
Heroes stepping up at critical moments are exciting and inspiring.
Looking at the bullet-riddled fuselage of No. 214, every Chinese knows that it is not easy for the chief instructor.
The two machines head on.
"Duoduoduo..."
No. 101 Type 96 Battleship opened fire first.
Shichiro Yamashita knew very well the principle of striking first is the advantage. When two aircrafts head on, the one who fires first can always occupy a better position, forcing the opponent to make a tactical turn in advance. If he follows up, he can immediately occupy the opponent's rear hemisphere.
The red tracer bullets and high-explosive combustion bit into the nose of the No. 214 warship, causing the Chinese people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait to feel their hearts tightening, lean back, and scream in low voices.
The tracer bullets went straight towards the nose of the No. 214 battleship, marking that the flight paths of the two fighters were in the same straight line.
Zhou Zhihan's eyes narrowed. Yamashita Shichiro was indeed an ace pilot, and his control of ballistics and flight paths was perfect.
In an air battle, the relative position of the two sides in a head-on encounter is extremely changeable. In addition to the most typical head-on approaches with large track spacing and small track spacing, there will also be situations with minimal or no track spacing.
Normally, the pilot will determine whether the track distance between himself and the enemy aircraft is small enough to avoid collision or avoid it, and then it can be determined as no-track distance.
In fact, in air combat, this boundary is very blurred and the duration is often very short. Especially when the two sides are making violent maneuvers to approach, the no-track separation situation may only last for a few seconds. Only experienced veterans can be called the king. It can last for more than ten seconds.
In this case, the timing of the tactical turn is very important, and the time left for the pilot to make a judgment is like a flash of lightning. Some pilots who do not have enough experience often fail to grasp this opportunity and make a hasty correction, and they will be bitten by the opponent immediately. Die, fire, shoot down.
No. 214 Ship Battle: Press the right stick and slide the stick backward, rudder right, point the wings diagonally towards the sky, and face the belly east. Stagger the head-on track of the two aircraft in advance, fly in an arc to the southwest to avoid it, and make a small-angle turn. At the same time, always keep the No. 101 Type 96 ship battle in sight.
Ship Battle No. 214 can only make passive choices, change the track in advance, and seek to make quick and sharp turns to recover the disadvantage, otherwise, it will hit the tracer bullets biting head-on.
When the opponent shoots first, you have no choice but to make changes in advance.
On the way to Shanghai, Ship Battle No. 214 was intercepted by Japanese planes. During the breakout, the fuselage was injured in many places. Although it shot down several more Japanese planes, it also left him with very little ammunition. There were only three seconds at most, or even less, which was why Zhou Zhihan did not fire during the head-on attack, preferring to be passive, waiting for the opportunity to kill with one blow.
The envelope for a head-on attack was too small, and Yamashita Shichiro was an ace pilot, so the probability of a head-on shooting was very slim.
Yamashita Shichiro knew that Ship Battle No. 214 had returned from Nanjing with little ammunition left. Although it had an auxiliary fuel tank, there was not much fuel left.
Therefore, Yamashita Shichiro forced the No. 214 ship to passively make tactical evasive maneuvers at the cost of wasting three seconds of bullets. He instantly took the initiative and immediately pulled back the left pressure lever, left rudder, and the belly of the aircraft faced west, one forward. Accelerating, occupying a favorable position in the hemisphere position behind the No. 214 ship in one fell swoop, and always controlling the No. 214 ship battle within his sight.
Dual plane chase.
Ship No. 214 performed an escape maneuver.
The No. 101 Type 96 ship battle clung to the battle.
The No. 214 ship battle cannot get rid of the No. 101 Type 96 ship battle during the ramp-up. The latter is also difficult to close the distance between the two aircraft. The distance between the two aircraft is 280 meters, which is barely a distance for firing.
The distance of 280 meters is barely enough for a rookie, but it is normal operation for Yamashita Shichiro.
During the fierce pursuit, the No. 101 Type 96 warship made a slight turn to the outside of the plane.
Zhou Zhihan immediately noticed a slight change in the nose of the No. 101 Type 96 warship. He immediately cut the nose inward, made a sharp turn at a small angle, and performed an extended maneuver.
No. 101 Type 96 Ship Combat makes a slight outer turn to adjust the concealed shooting advance angle. The advantage of this is that the advance amount is more accurate and advanced, and it also allows the pilot of the attack aircraft to always see the target from the left side of the nose. machine.
Only ace pilots can perform such a concealed maneuver without being thrown away by the lead aircraft. When ordinary or even excellent pilots perform this "slight out-of-plane turn" maneuver, they often fail to grasp the timing and intensity of the stick pressure. , and the nose of the plane is too large in an instant, and it will be thrown away by the enemy plane immediately.
The belly of No. 214 Battleship only shook in the sight of No. 101 Type 96 Battleship for less than a second before sliding out of the ring of the sight. Yamashita Shichiro secretly admired it and immediately pressed the lever left, and the nose of the aircraft followed closely. He cut inward towards the rear of the battleship No. 214, held on to it, and continued to adjust the firing advance.
Ship Battle No. 214 entered the cross in the center of the circle of the sight, shook once, twice...steady...
Yamashita Shichiro's thumb was ready to press the button at the top of the joystick.
Ship Battle No. 214 suddenly turned right at high speed, continued to perform extended maneuvers, and once again slipped out of the sight of Ship Battle No. 101 Type 96.
"idiot!"
Yamashita Shichiro pressed the lever, pedaled on the rudder, and continued to hold on. He was breathing heavily and sweating slightly on his temples.
Ship Battle No. 214 suddenly reversed itself during the right turn and headed straight forward.
Yamashita Shichiro continued to follow the recovery, keeping his eyes on the battleship No. 214, judging its next flight trajectory at any time. As long as the judgment was accurate, he would fire immediately.
Yamashita Shichiro's aiming skills are also very superb. His eyes never stay in the center of the circle of the sight for more than four seconds, but always wander around the target in the center of the circle and the target outside the windshield.
Only a rookie pilot would keep his eyes on the target aircraft in the center of the sight circle.
The distance between the two planes was always maintained at about 280 meters, and they chased from west to east along the Huangpu River. After a while, they turned in a large circle and flew west.
The people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait didn't know much about maneuvers, but they could see that from the moment the Japanese fighter planes opened fire, the chief instructor fell into a passive position and was constantly being chased by enemy fighter planes.
All the common people's palms were sweating, their hearts were in their throats, they held their breaths, stretched their necks involuntarily, and twisted back and forth with the two fighters.
Shichiro Yamashita was very experienced. His rear tracking always stayed on both sides of the No. 214 ship battle and never entered the track of the No. 214 ship battle, directly killing Zhou Zhihan's opportunity to make a 180-degree swing shot.
Several outstanding pilots in the empire have been killed by the Chinese Air Force Chief Instructor's shocking 180-degree swing shot. Yamashita Shichiro will never allow this tragedy to happen again.
Since the air battle on 8.14, Zhou Zhihan had encountered such a tough opponent for the first time. He secretly praised Yamashita Shichiro for being well-deserved, both in terms of experience and skill.
No. 214 made several extended maneuvers in succession, but was unable to get rid of No. 101 Type 96 Ship Battle. However, the latter couldn't get even one meter closer, so it could only bite the No. 214 ship. The fight continues.
Yamashita Shichiro continuously made adjustments to the advance, but he was always slipped out of the sight by the 214th ship in the light of the carbide fire.
Beads of sweat appeared on Yamashita Shichiro's temples. Every time he bit the No. 214 ship and completed the advance and was about to fire, the opponent would make a simple expansion maneuver in the midst of lightning and flint, destroying the attack advance. He was a little annoyed. All the soldiers in the empire were looking at him, including General Kiyoshi Hasegawa, the commander-in-chief of the Third Fleet. They were standing on the deck of the Izumo to watch the battle. Its shooting down somewhat belittles the title of ace pilot.
Yamashita Shichiro gritted his teeth, looked fiercely, and decided to make a change.
