Chug tug tug!
Boom!
Just when Lao Tie thought he was about to die under the collision of the Japanese plane, bullets flying from nowhere hit the Japanese plane that was on fire again.
The plane exploded and caught fire a hundred meters away from Laotie. The huge explosion swept hot wind and scattered pieces of the plane flying in all directions.
At this moment, whether it was Lao Tie, Dragon Boat Festival, Commander Huo and other Chinese soldiers, or the Japanese soldiers lying on the hillside, they all ran for cover.
These fragments covered a huge area, covering at least half a kilometer in radius. The fragmented aircraft fragments were like a heavy rain on the entire battlefield.
Fortunately for the Chinese soldiers, they had simple fortifications to hide in, but the Japanese were all on the unprotected hillside.
Part of the MCC brigade suffered heavy damage again, with more than 30 people killed and injured in the explosion.
But on the contrary, during the Dragon Boat Festival, Master Huo, Lao Tie and others only suffered more than a dozen casualties. Although Lao Tie had something like a steel bar inserted into his shoulder, it was not fatal.
He got up from the ground and continued shooting at the Japanese under the thick smoke.
At the same time, there was the roar of Hawker fighter jets in the sky, and a non-standard Chinese pronunciation - I'm coming!
It turned out that at this critical moment of life and death, it was Brooke who drove a fighter jet and four other fighter jets from the China Aviation First Group to come to support.
Brooke is still flying a Hawker III fighter jet.
Hawker III fighter, maximum level flight speed: 360 kilometers/hour; practical ceiling: 8410 meters; crew: 1 person; range: 1284 kilometers.
Power plant: 1 Wright R-1820-F53 star air-cooled piston engine, maximum power 555 kilowatts.
Weapons: 1 12.7 mm caliber machine gun, 1 7.62 mm caliber machine gun, can mount one 227 kg or four 53 kg bombs.
This is by far the fighter jet with the most superior performance that the First Aviation Group can take.
There were three before, but during the Battle of Yushan, Brooke and his good brother Paul came to support, and one of them died in the battle and the other made an emergency landing. Two fighter jets also crashed.
The remaining four Chinese pilots flew Breda Ba-27 fighter jets.
The Breda Ba-27 fighter is a product of the transition from bi-wing fighters to mono-wing fighters at that time.
Its design has the characteristics of most fighter jets in that transitional era: trouser-type fixed landing gear, wing strengthening struts and tension lines to prevent the fuselage from strength problems caused by excessive speed, open Cockpit.
So much so that this design doesn't look like a battle-tested fighter, but more like a relatively large beer barrel.
Therefore, this kind of fighter was not welcomed once it came out, and Breda had to turn its attention abroad.
Finally in 1935, they found the Chinese Air Force who was willing to contribute to the development of the Italian aviation industry. In the end, a total of 12 Breda Ba-27 fighter jets were sold to China.
China became the takeover, and at first it thought it had purchased the most advanced fighter jets in the world at the time.
But in actual operation, the Chinese pilots discovered that they had been fooled. The performance of this crappy monoplane fighter was completely inferior to the old Hawker III. The so-called advanced single wing is nothing more than a gimmick.
Its engine vibrates very violently when it performs turning movements, and its flexibility is extremely poor. This makes the Breda Ba-27 fighter jet, although it has the reputation of being the world's most advanced fighter jet, its performance is not as good as that of the old biplane fighter.
But even so, in China, these four fighters were still capable fighters at that time. At least they could compete with the Little Japanese fighters in the air.
Five Japanese bombers were destroyed under the attack of four Breda Ba-27 fighters, and the remaining bombers fled in all directions.
Although the Japanese Type 93 bombers were considered very advanced at the time, fighting in the air with fighter jets was like hitting an egg against a rock.
The only three remaining Japanese fighter jets quickly responded to the challenge, but at this moment, Brooke made a beautiful pull up and opened a hole in the belly of a Japanese fighter jet.
The Japanese fighter jet suffered heavy damage and a fire broke out in the cabin.
The pilots tried to fly the plane toward the Yangtze River, where their own people were. And the buffering force of the plane entering the water may have allowed him to survive.
There are only two Japanese fighter jets left. Captain Xiong Fei panicked. Because from the brief exchange, he noticed something unusual about the opponent's pilot.
The first was to quietly approach the Japanese aircraft group, but he didn't even notice it. The second is the opponent's driving skills. After diving to accurately intercept the fighter plane that hit Dongshan, it quickly pulled up. The plane made a spinning movement in the air and easily hit the belly of a fighter jet.
It's hard to imagine how the other party did it while the plane was traveling at high speed. But it is undeniable that the other party is a rival of his Xiong Fei.
Xiong Fei ordered another fighter pilot to deal with the other four fighters, and ordered the broken bomber formation to regroup, while he and Brooke fought face to face with gongs and drums.
Both sides are highly skilled, constantly chasing each other in the air, changing various flying postures and shooting at each other.
Colonel Xiongfei's attack was fierce, and he always took the initiative in the battle with the superior performance of the Type 97 fighter jet.
But Brooke was extremely cunning. While he laughed at Xiong Fei's incompetence, he kept changing the flight path, just to prevent Xiong Fei from catching him.
Moreover, the flexibility of the biplane gave Xiong Fei a huge headache. The opponent's speed is not as fast as his own, but he is as hard to catch as a little sparrow.
Captain Xiongfei was tricked by Brooke, and it was difficult to win in a short period of time. The same goes for other Japanese fighter planes. He did not care about attacking the ground, but was too tired to deal with enemy planes in the air.
Perhaps they never dreamed that the Chinese Air Force would dare to once again dispatch aircraft to engage in air combat with the aircraft of the Japanese Empire. Because of the battle in Songhu, all five brigades of China Airlines suffered heavy losses. China's airspace is already owned by the Japanese Empire.
But today, the Chinese Air Force once again taught them a lesson. China still has a trump card, but it just didn't show it.
At this time, the Japanese aircraft in the air were entangled, and the pressure on the ground troops suddenly eased. The anti-aircraft weapons that had been engaged in a desperate exchange of fire with Japanese aircraft also launched fire suppression against Japanese ground troops at this time.
The first unit of the MCC brigade, which was infinitely close to the Dongshan headquarters, was beaten to death. Those makeshift bunkers could no longer block the firepower of Chinese anti-aircraft artillery.
The bunkers were crushed to pieces, and more than two-thirds of the more than 400 Japanese soldiers were killed or injured.
The soldiers had no fighting spirit. Even if the MCC village roared desperately, it could not change the decline of the Japanese army.
When seven or eight anti-aircraft machine guns joined the battle, the last remaining hope of MCC was evaporated.
One after another, his soldiers were hit by 12.7mm anti-aircraft machine gun rounds. The body was beaten into a sieve, and the bright red blood flowed into small rivers.
The soil was dyed red, and the roaring MCC Village was hit by seven bullets, and half of its head was blown off.
The remaining forty or so Japanese soldiers fled in panic.
At this moment, Dragon Boat Festival pulled out the sword from his waist and roared: "Kill me, and I won't leave any Japanese behind!..."
