On the morning of December 1, 1940, over the Balkans
The four-plane formation has been flying continuously for twenty hours. At this time, no one doubts that they can fly directly to Berlin. The wooden body, fighter engine, and aviation fuel from northern Shaanxi have all withstood it. They have been flying continuously for twenty hours. Heavy-load flight is a severe test of the overall performance of the aircraft.
In the cockpit of the No. 1 aircraft, the pilot has been replaced by a student, while Wang Yue and Chen Zhigang are sleeping on one side wrapped in sleeping bags. In order to accommodate a large amount of electronic tube equipment, Mikoyan designed the cockpit to be large enough for the two of them. Sleep comfortably.
Compared to the rear cabin, which is close to 0 degrees, the cockpit has heat emitted by electronic tubes, and the temperature is actually close to 20 degrees. Coupled with a special oxygen supplement system, hot water system, constant temperature heating furnace, and electric seats, in this time and space, it is definitely The ceiling of the cockpit of a large aircraft is, of course, also to take care of the pilots. After all, the aircraft is too rough. Mikoyan is also worried about the pilots' evaluation of the aircraft. In their view, the most direct people to evaluate the aircraft are the pilots.
Soothing music was playing on the radio, and the horizon in the distance was gradually getting brighter. The pilot adjusted the aircraft to autopilot mode and began to study the aircraft manual. Everything seemed so leisurely.
At this moment, Wang Yue opened his eyes suddenly. Although he was asleep, he still used a ray of spiritual thought to control the system to scan the surroundings. After all, the radar performance of these aircraft was very limited and could not be truly effective. Achieve comprehensive monitoring.
Just now, he noticed that fighter jets were taking off one after another from nearby farms. If it were just fighter jets from the Balkan countries, Wang Yue's reaction would not be so big. But after scanning the cockpit, he found that the pilots were all Asian. Sanitary beard, sunburst straps, shit-yellow military uniform, what the hell is this if not a little devil?
The little devil suddenly appeared in the Balkans and organized so many fighter jets. It was only natural that he came with his own flight formation. Instead of rushing to the heavily defended mountain city, he tried his best to carry out operations in the Balkans and launched a surprise attack. If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would really fall into this trap. Even the Li-2 transport plane in his hand was useless. After all, a transport plane that was not a fully enclosed cabin could not maintain high altitude and high speed all the time. If that happened, everyone in the cockpit would probably die.
Naturally, Wang Yue would not know that Yamamoto Kazuki started planning this ambush as soon as Hans invited Li Yunlong to visit. He analyzed and judged the visit route, coordinated the secret service to contact local forces, and organized the purchase of equipment on the spot. In order to mobilize operational personnel and transfer equipment and facilities, in order to kill Li Yunlong with one blow and completely eliminate him, Kazuki Yamamoto even contacted the Naval Air Force despite the objections of General Yoshio Shinozuka.
"Climb, climb quickly, climb to 10,000 meters!" Wang Yue jumped up from the floor, picked up the intercom and gave the order loudly,
Immediately afterwards, the battle alarm in the engine room was sounded, and everyone woke up from their dazed state. At this time, the quality of the temporary commanders and fighters of the 68th Division was displayed. There was no confusion at all. Dressing, checking equipment, reinforcing the vehicle, everything went in an orderly manner.
"Comrades, enemy planes have been intercepted ahead of us and have been captured." At this time, Wang Yue's voice sounded on the radio.
At this moment, twelve Japanese fighter jets were already in the air. Eight P-11s and four P-24s rushed towards them from three directions. Having learned from the previous lessons, the Japanese fighter planes continued to climb as soon as they came up. , the Japanese fighter jets have taken the lead in reaching an altitude of eight thousand meters.
Seeing that the transport aircraft formation was already climbing, they quickly pounced on it. With their previous experience, they didn't know that the Eighth Route Army's transport planes were likely to be much faster and higher than their fighter jets, so they had to pounce on them as soon as possible. Several transport planes were fighting, and even if they were not shot down, they would still have to be prevented from continuing to climb and speed up.
Just when it was about to reach the firing range, the Japanese fighter plane found that the fighter jets in front of it suddenly made a 90-degree overload turn and rushed towards the alliance, obviously wanting to get rid of them as soon as possible. However, the fighter formation did not panic, because although the transport aircraft formation was still increasing its speed, the speed was still increasing very slowly, and it was not possible to get rid of them for the time being.
Wang Yue was also very annoyed in the cockpit. He was careless. Previously, the transport aircraft formation had been flying at an economical speed without considering the possibility of being attacked. At present, several aircraft are still overloaded. Now they are fine. In a hurry It was really impossible to go up all at once, and even climbing was very difficult. This gave the Japanese a chance.
"Old Chen, you take command, I'll go to the back cabin!" Wang Yue handed over the driving right to Chen Zhigang and ran to the back. When he got to the back, he patted Li Yunlong and went down to the bottom cabin. He carried it out after a while. Two Browning m2hb 12.7mm heavy machine guns and several boxes of bullets. These two machine guns were customized by Tasha. The casings are made of the same material, and there is no need to replace the barrels even if they are red-painted. Therefore, these two machine guns do not even have spare barrel asbestos gloves prepared.
After opening the cargo compartment door of the transport plane, a string of bullets swept over and splashed a bunch of sparks on the cargo compartment door, but it did not cause any damage. It was too far away. The Japanese pilots couldn't even aim. They were just shooting aimlessly. The large-caliber machine gun bullets couldn't even penetrate the bulkhead of the plane. Colonel Rudolph gently knocked on the plane cabin. Wall, eyes full of excitement, this thing can actually block bullets. Although the effect of armor-piercing incendiary bombs has not been tested, the fact that it can only block large-caliber stray bullets is impressive enough. After all, even if it is made of aluminum alloy or thin steel plate The skin also cannot block armor-piercing incendiary bombs.
After setting up the Browning M2HB machine gun, with Li Yunlong's eyes looking in disbelief, Wang Yue fired at the Japanese fighter formation three thousand meters away. The armor-piercing incendiary bombs drew a beautiful arc in the air. He rushed towards the Japanese fighter plane.
These bullets are special loaded bullets. The original Browning m2hb cannot withstand them at all, but there is no problem at all for the customized heavy machine gun made of special steel. The effective range of the original Browning m2hb is 2,500 meters, and the maximum range is 7,000 meters. Although it can hit a range of three thousand meters, the dispersion range and accuracy are hard to say, but it will be different after using special ammunition. .
