Although the performance of the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft has been relatively backward, because China does not have a navy that can threaten it, this reconnaissance aircraft has been in service on Japanese ships.
Today, this reconnaissance aircraft is responsible for delivering ammunition to the Miki Wing. In order to reduce its weight, its defensive weapons and pilot's protective steel plates were all removed. See after the 214th night battle hurricane shot down a Type 96 Land Attack. After a few lifts and jumps, he reached his side. The pilot's scalp exploded and he had to escape.
No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane was fast, and its agility made the Japanese desperate. After jumping up and down, it simply rolled to the side, pointed the nose of the aircraft at the supply ammunition mounted on the belly of the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft that wanted to escape, and opened fire. Easy hit.
When the first mortar bomb hit exploded, Night Battle Hurricane No. 214 made another incredible "bounce" breakaway, quickly passed over the Type 95 water reconnaissance aircraft, and flew towards another transport aircraft. .
"boom!"
A mortar shell exploded, detonating several nearby shells, followed by a chain reaction. Hundreds of mortar shells and countless rifle bullets exploded one after another as they fell to the ground, knocking off the Miki Alliance who were desperately fighting back. The team was scared to death, and each looked for something to hide from.
Seeing the "fireworks" falling overwhelmingly from the Japanese position, the Chinese soldiers were overjoyed and took the opportunity to quickly advance and attack.
Just when the Hurricane of Night Battle No. 214 shot down a Type 96 Land Attacker like lightning, the remaining Japanese pilots knew that those who come are not good and good people will not come.
Being able to fight against six fighters on his own is no mean feat.
When the No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane made three consecutive jumps and showed super maneuvers, the pilot of the other Type 96 Land Attack had already pressed down on the stick and flew away from the battlefield. He was experienced and knew that he had just experienced a near death. Escape, facing such a terrifying opponent, it would be too late if you don't leave. Moreover, the aviation fleet has regulations. When encountering a Chinese interceptor, the bomber can decide to leave the battlefield at any time, and the task of intercepting the enemy aircraft is left to the escort fighter.
Seeing that the Type 96 land attack was evacuating, the pilot of the Type 97 airship was not a fool. He quickly turned around and evacuated. At the same time, he asked his bombardier to loosen the mount buckle under the belly of the aircraft. It was important to escape first. As for supplies, He didn't care where it landed.
So there was a magical scene of exploding artillery shells and bullets flying in the sky above the Miki Regiment, and parachutes carrying food floating above the Chinese army.
After a while, only three Chinese and Japanese fighter jets were left in the sky above the battlefield.
Panic is contagious.
Seeing that two of our six fighter planes were shot down by Chinese fighters in the blink of an eye, and two of them left in a hurry, the morale of the Miki Wing was severely damaged. The commander was experienced and knew that there was no hope of breaking out. If he continued to take the initiative to attack, the troops would be in danger of collapse, so he hurriedly commanded The soldiers switched from offense to defense, shrinking into a turtle position for defense.
The two Japanese fighter pilots talked to each other and decided to use a 45-degree head-on pincer attack tactic and fired simultaneously to shoot down the Chinese fighter plane.
The power and effectiveness of a two-plane formation supporting each other to attack an enemy plane is unquestionable. This is a sentence that all fighter instructors will repeatedly instill in their students.
Similarly, instructors will often warn students, how can they survive when a single machine encounters a double machine, or even win one against two?
The answer is: You have to be very careful.
First of all, a single aircraft pilot must understand that when it fights two enemy aircraft, it has violated one of the basic rules of air combat - if there is no advantage, do not engage in air combat.
So these two Japanese pilots comforted each other. Two against one, we have an absolute natural advantage and will win!
In fact, it was just comfort. We were six against one just now.
When Zhou Zhihan teaches, he first teaches students how to leave the battlefield and protect themselves when they are at a disadvantage. He also teaches students how to understand under what circumstances a single machine can attack two machines. Otherwise, they should not blindly attack more with less.
Pilots should always remember that attacking and maintaining the initiative are two important factors that must be considered wherever and whenever possible.
A single pilot should carefully track the enemy aircraft, quietly obtain a favorable position, and then wait for an opportunity to attack.
The position above and behind the enemy's double crew and facing away from the sun is the most advantageous position. A single aircraft can dive down from a high place, quickly catch up with the enemy by surprise, and attack one of them before the enemy aircraft detects it. If the sneak attack is successful and If it is still in a favorable position, then the single aircraft can continue to engage in one-on-one air combat with the remaining enemy aircraft, or dive out of the battle at high speed.
If the first attack fails to shoot down an enemy aircraft, the single aircraft usually withdraws from the battle quickly.
At this time, the No. 214 Night Fighting Hurricane was between the two Type 97 Land Fighters. According to the textbook and the warnings of his former instructors, Zhou Zhihan should dive to increase speed and quickly escape.
The two Japanese fighter planes first flew towards the sun to seize advantageous positions. When they reached a certain height, they only needed to make a quick turn to turn their backs to the sun, forming a comprehensive two-on-one attack on the No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane. .
The two little devils did not choose to attack from both sides, but left an opportunity for Night Battle Hurricane No. 214 to stop and run away as soon as possible.
After all, what you just shot down in the 214th night battle with the Hurricane was bombers and reconnaissance planes.
really.
Night Battle Hurricane No. 214 did not dive away, but also climbed up against the western sun.
The three fighter jets climbed towards the sun at almost the same altitude. The two Japanese fighter jets took the lead. But after more than twenty seconds, the two Japanese pilots felt cold in their hearts. The Chinese fighter jet was very powerful, and the latter took the lead. above them.
After another twenty seconds, the No. 214 Night Fighter Hurricane's superior climbing ability was undoubtedly demonstrated, and it gradually pushed away the two Type 97 Land Fighters. This was the first time in recent years that a Chinese fighter jet gained an advantage in climbing over a Japanese fighter jet. .
The two Japanese pilots were hit hard in their hearts again. Just now, the Hurricane on Night Battle 214 had made several consecutive jumps, and they knew they were no enemy. At this time, they saw that the performance of the fighter planes was also crushed, and their fear of war became even stronger.
The most basic principle of air combat is to always keep the enemy within your sight.
While climbing, Zhou Zhihan used his peripheral vision to lock onto the enemy planes on both sides.
suddenly.
The corners of Zhou Zhihan's mouth twitched a few times.
Because the two Japanese fighter jets are no longer in play.
Slip away.
Since there is a chance for you not to run away, then we will run away.
One Type 97 Land Fighter recovered from the climb, quickly dived to increase speed, and left the battlefield. The other one also reacted very quickly. When he saw his companion running away silently, he flew upside down to increase speed while climbing, and then launched He arrived first and ran ahead of his companions.
Looking at the two Japanese planes going away, Zhou Zhihan shook his head. The Chinese army cheered loudly. The morale of the Miki Wing was hit hard again. The once arrogant Japanese Air Force could now lose six against one. This made several What should they do when they are surrounded by twice as many Chinese troops? How can they still fight this battle?
The situation of the Miki Regiment became increasingly difficult. Food supplies were dropped on the Chinese army's positions. Ammunition supplies were received, but what they received were exploding ammunition, which caused holes everywhere in the position. Many soldiers were killed and injured, and wailing was everywhere.
In the night battle of No. 214, the Hurricane was completely victorious in a one-on-six battle, which boosted the morale of the officers and soldiers of the 200th Division and the New 22nd Division. They launched a fierce attack on the Miki Regiment, gradually squeezing the Japanese defensive formation.
Suddenly, No. 214 Night Battle Hurricane recovered while climbing, and the Miki Regiment dived where the soldiers were densest.
