Several Type 96 warships that had just emerged from the clouds were preparing to track the rear hemisphere of No. 214. When they saw No. 214 flying at low altitude on the water, they all stopped tracking and returned to the clouds to follow No. 214. war flight path. The advantage of this is that the dynamics of the No. 214 ship battle can be monitored in the air at any time, but it is difficult for the opponent to detect him.
It is very dangerous to follow the No. 214 ship battle at low altitude. The anti-aircraft artillery of the Imperial fleet on the river has no eyes and cannot distinguish its own aircraft.
Ship No. 214 used a low-altitude flying mode to rush forward quickly, which made the Japanese fleet on the Huangpu River very uncomfortable. The output firepower of the Type 96 triple 25cm anti-aircraft cannon, the main anti-aircraft gun on each ship, has therefore been greatly restricted.
The Type 96 triple-mounted 25mm anti-aircraft gun is a universal anti-aircraft weapon for Japanese naval battleships. It has a high popularity rate. From aircraft carrier battleships to destroyer frigates, all without exception are equipped with this weapon.
At the very beginning, the allies called it the most suffocating air defense weapon in the entire Pacific. However, with the continuous upgrading of weapons in various countries, the shortcomings of the Japanese Army's Type 96 triple anti-aircraft machine gun have been infinitely magnified.
The 96 triple 25mm anti-aircraft cannon is installed on the ship and can fire 360 degrees without blind spots. It has a rate of fire of about 500 rounds per minute. It looks and sounds very powerful and scary. In fact, it is beating under its powerful appearance. A small heart, it uses a 15-round magazine for ammunition, and the shells are loaded manually. If the three artillery fires rapidly, pulling out a super destructive interception barrage, the magazine will be emptied within five seconds. , during the seven or eight seconds of reloading, this gun position has no firepower output, which is also the biggest shortcoming of the 96 triple-mounted anti-aircraft artillery.
Zhou Zhihan had known about this shortcoming a few months ago.
That time he boarded the "Izumo" and took a lot of photos. After he came back, he studied the shortcomings of the Type 96 triple anti-aircraft gun, so he flew at a low altitude along the Huangpu River. It looked very dangerous to outsiders, but in fact Flying at low altitude, he greatly weakened the anti-aircraft firepower of Japanese warships.
In order to ensure continuous anti-aircraft firepower output, in actual combat, this kind of triple-mounted machine gun sometimes has no choice but to use a round-firing method of one gun firing, one gun ready to fire, and one gun loading shells. Its actual combat effectiveness, It is only equivalent to a single 25mm machine gun that fires continuously.
Therefore, in order to deal with the No. 214 ship battle with intensive shooting, the Japanese fleets must cooperate with each other to make up for the shortcomings of the Type 96 triple anti-aircraft gun. The ships are parked on the water in the north and south directions, waiting for the Type 96 ship battle. Come to die.
The No. 214 ship battle did not use conventional flight postures and flew at low altitude from the west, which immediately disrupted the deployment of Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fire.
Since each Japanese warship can be intercepted with artillery on one side, the anti-aircraft firepower on the other side is basically idle. This means that each Japanese warship can only exert one-third of its anti-aircraft firepower.
This made the Japanese fleet feel very uncomfortable.
Therefore, under the temporary support of peripheral artillery fire, the ships, mainly the flagship [Izumo], quickly changed the position of the hull on the water, hoping to change the north-south berth of the hull into an east-west orientation before the arrival of the 214th ship battle. In this way, the anti-aircraft cannons on both sides of the ship and the anti-aircraft artillery in the center of the hull can fire at the same time, increasing the shooting power and rate of fire interception surface.
Sure enough, as the Japanese warships on the Huangpu River quickly adjusted their position, the firepower network that No. 214 was able to shuttle freely just now gradually became denser, forcing it to change from flying at a low altitude of 50 meters above the water to gradually flying upward. Raise the height to open up the Japanese ship's fire net.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
As the nose of the No. 214 warship gradually raised, the firing rate of the Type 96 triple center anti-aircraft cannon was gradually revealed. The densely interlaced anti-aircraft firepower network spit out its purple tongue, dotted from the river towards the sky. But the Type 96 ship battle can always use unbelievable various rolling maneuvers to dodge and escape in the midst of lightning and flint.
"Oh my god, the Type 96 warship can actually use a 90-degree roll, from the north bank to the diagonal flight close to the south bank, calmly destroying the firepower network tracking it, and throwing the attacking ship far away. How did he do it while driving behind him?"
There are many outstanding pilots in the senior military observation groups of various countries. Many people come here because they want to learn the aerial flying skills of the Chinese chief instructor. They exclaimed, why is this simple 90-degree roll maneuver so popular in the Chinese Air Force? In the hands of the chief instructor, you can instantly turn the ordinary into the magical! ?
Since the 8.14 air battle, many outstanding pilots from other countries have heard that the various maneuvers of the Chinese Air Force chief instructor can be dazzling, both gorgeous and practical.
There is also a legend that the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force may not be from this planet, because many of the maneuvers he made have exceeded the pressure that outstanding fighter jets from various countries can withstand when performing maneuvers.
But some people say that just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't do it. It's like walking a tightrope in the air with cliffs on both sides. How many people in the world can do it?
Some people even say that this is the difference between a genius pilot and an ordinary pilot. In fact, this sentence is the most hurtful.
Red barrages were pulled out from the river into the air, like countless searchlight fragments of light, shooting from the ground into the air, gathering to track the No. 214 ship battle. It was very shocking!
"Oh God! He did another simple 360-degree roll, and escaped from the net barrage area of at least one hundred square meters... Oh... hell, how did he do it, and then he did another He rolled sideways 90 degrees to avoid another barrage... Oh my god... he actually did another reverse 90-degree roll, turning the barrage area that had completed advance shooting into a wave of barrages that only hit the air. Meteor shower..."
A young yellow-haired pilot who came specially from France a few days ago, holding the back of his head with both hands, looked at the No. 214 ship battle in the sky like a dexterous flying swallow in the rain of bullets, and shouted with emotion, "This is really wonderful." .
"Quick, quick, quick..."
Another pilot came from Germany. The shore he was on was very close to the Izumo. Looking at the Type 96 battleship getting closer and closer from a distance, his palms were sweaty and he felt complicated. He not only hopes that the Type 96 ship battle can break through the intensive fire interception of the battle group led by the [Izumo], so that he can learn more breakthrough skills in anti-fire encirclement and suppression, but also hopes that the [Izumo] battle group , able to shoot down the 214th ship in battle.
Because he knew that if he were the one piloting Ship Battle No. 214 now, he would not be able to break through this dense firepower network.
If the chief instructor of the Chinese Air Force piloted the No. 214 ship to break through this wave of intensive firepower, it would mean that his flying skills are tens of thousands of miles away from others.
If Ship Battle No. 214 is shot down by this wave of firepower, he will feel better. This means that the flying skills of the Chinese Air Force Chief Instructor may be on par with his own. Even if it is higher, it is only a little bit higher. It can be compensated.
Like a wave of people on a football field, Ship No. 214 was fighting over the Huangpu River. Everywhere he went, he was greeted by fire interceptions.
Ship Battle No. 214 avoided the fire interception from the outside of the battleship [Izumo] and pounced on it.
