All the instruments on the instrument panel were fine. There was no flashing warning of oil leakage, and other instruments were normal and did not flash. This meant that the main parts of the bomber were not hit.
Zhou Zhihan was relieved. The tail or wing might have been hit by a stray bullet.
Yin Weixin yelled from behind: "A piece of the tail wing has been knocked off, sir!"
"It's okay! We can fly back even if the tail fin is gone. Keep an eye on the fighter jet at 11 o'clock on your upper left. As long as we hold it, we will be safe in the dark." Zhou Zhihan flew away in a "Zigzag" maneuver, and he His flight helmet clearly showed that a Japs fighter jet was approaching quickly, "Remember, the Japs will fire at a distance of about three hundred meters. You have to fire in advance and just block it."
Yin Weixin shouted: "Understood. Sir!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the wing of a Japanese fighter jet appearing in the bright light at 11 o'clock on the upper left. He immediately pulled the trigger and fired a burst, two A tongue of fire spurted out, and then a burst of fire was fired ahead of time, forcing the little devil's fighter jets to be unable to close in and shoot.
Facing the oncoming bullets, the little Japanese had no choice but to press the stick, and the fighter plane rolled to the right to avoid the rain of bullets. The direction of the nose of the aircraft had deviated from the bomber, so he could only do another reverse side roll and continue. pursuit, but the pursuit position was already behind the other two fighters.
Suddenly, Yin Weixin felt a heat on his calf, and then warm liquid flowed out, and a heartbreaking pain hit him. At the critical moment, he gritted his teeth to prevent himself from screaming, and fired two consecutive shots to block the shot that appeared from the right at 2 o'clock. A fighter jet in my busy schedule reached out and touched my calf. The palm of my hand was wet and full of blood, and the calf was all there. I was relieved and knew that the skin was hit by shrapnel from the surface anti-aircraft cannon. If it was hit by an artillery shell, , the calf is long gone.
When he turned around, he knew that there was an enemy plane chasing him. Zhou Zhi got rid of the cold pressure lever, and the bomber made a clever 45-degree side turn while increasing its speed. Just as it was about to enter the darkness, a flare was suddenly launched from the water below. The bomber was completely exposed to bright light again.
Countless bullet traces spurted out from the water, and brilliant sparks bloomed behind the bomber, biting up like lightning.
This flare came so suddenly that Zhou Zhihan was caught off guard. Dozens of cannonballs came like flying bolides, hitting him ahead of time on his side-turning route.
have no choice.
In the flash of lightning, Zhou Zhihan could only press the lever. The bomber made a side roll that only a fighter jet could do. The fuselage trembled amidst the sound of metal tearing. A bullet was shot from the belly of the aircraft and flew past the bombardier. There was a "ding" sound when it hit the pilot's seat, which made the bombardier scream in fright. His back was instantly covered with sweat. Another shrapnel cut into the belly of the aircraft, spun and broke through the windshield and then refracted, cutting into everything like lightning. Han's left arm, "poof", blood suddenly flowed out.
The icy cold wind immediately poured into the cabin. Almost at the same time, Zhou Zhihan and the machine gunner felt the hairs on their bodies shrink suddenly.
"Sir!" Li Leilei shouted when he knew the windshield was broken, "Are you okay?"
Zhou Zhihan gritted his teeth and did not hum. He did not want to distract the machine gunner and bombardier: "It's okay, the glass has a hole."
At this moment, Yin Weixin shouted from behind: "Sir, two more fighter jets have appeared from the right behind and are coming after them."
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Yin Weixin shouted and continued to fire, blocking the three chasing fighter jets. However, the firepower of his machine gun was of little use. The Japanese know that as long as the bomber's gunner is knocked out, the bomber will become a paper tiger without claws.
Seeing that three of our own fighter jets had caught up with the Chinese bombers, the Japanese anti-aircraft fire on the water stopped attacking to avoid accidentally injuring our own people, and dozens of snow-white searchlights followed the bombers.
Zhou Zhihan didn't have time to check the injury on his left arm. He held the throttle in his hand. The slightest exertion caused severe pain and his arm trembled.
Due to the low-altitude bombing, the bomber's position was already at a disadvantage. Just now, it was about to enter darkness and escape the pursuit of surface anti-aircraft fire. However, it was bitten by a flare and could not escape, making the current situation even more dangerous. If it continued to climb, it would soon be Will be besieged by Japanese fighter jets.
There was a flash of fire behind him, and Zhou Zhihan knew it was the fighter jet that was following him and opened fire. He glanced at the height of the bomber from the corner of his eye.
1170 meters.
Without hesitation, he pushed the stick immediately, resisting the pain and throttled the throttle. The bomber entered a dive to increase speed, and two ferocious strings of shells whizzed past the tail of the aircraft, leaving two scorch marks. Yin Weixin was so frightened that his scalp exploded, and he secretly said that he was lucky. If there were other pilots, he might be heroic now.
This was also a dangerous move that Zhou Zhihan had to make. If he didn't do it right, the machine gunner would suffer.
Zhou Zhihan knew that the most dangerous person at this time was the machine gunner. He held the control column steady and the bomber continued to dive downward. Although the bomber was light, the speed accumulated during the dive caused the elevator to respond slowly, making it increasingly difficult to operate.
The bomber roared towards the water. Zhou Zhihan wanted to get into ultra-low altitude to get rid of the little Jaap. It was up to him whether the Jaap's fighter jet dared to dive down after him.
There are advantages and disadvantages to entering ultra-low altitude. The disadvantage is that once you can't get rid of the enemy, you are completely in a situation of being beaten. The advantage is that the Japs' flares cannot shoot straight and bite. As long as the bombers enter the dark area, the Japs' fighter jets will immediately become blind.
At present, the fighter jets of the Little Devil are not equipped with radars. It was not until the appearance of the "Moonlight" fighter that the Little Devil had a true night fighter.
At this time, the bomber was still within the peripheral light of the flares. A young Japanese soldier pushed the stick and the fighter dived downwards. He knew that the bomber would enter darkness in a few seconds.
The other two little Japs hesitated for a moment, not daring to follow the dive. A fighter jet flew forward from the corner of the eye, trying to intercept them in front.
The other fighter pulled up and performed a high swing maneuver to prevent itself from rushing forward and losing position, but he did not consider that it was night. As soon as he pulled up, the shadow of the bomber was lost in the blink of an eye.
Zhou Zhihan endured the severe pain in his left arm and pushed the throttle all the way during the dive. The bomber roared and continued to rush towards the water surface to increase speed. With the light of the flare above and behind it, he could see the flickering lights on the water surface below. With faint ripples of light.
800 meters,
700 meters,
600 meters,
400 meters,
300 meters,
Zhou Zhihan kept slightly pressing the stick left and right during the dive, changing the flight attitude of the fighter jet, making it impossible for the fighter jets following the dive to aim.
But no matter what, the Japanese fighter jets crushed the bombers in terms of speed and agility, chasing them closer and closer.
