"Da da da!"
The sound of dense bullets rang in the air, and for the Japanese pilot of the Type 96 carrier-based fighter in front, it was undoubtedly the death-threatening sound from hell.
His plane had been bitten by Li Hang's plane and there was no way he could get rid of it.
He used the tactics commonly used by the Japanese army, turning quickly, but still could not escape.
In fact, he had another trick, which was to dive vertically and pull up sharply at ultra-low altitude, but before he could take this tactical action, his plane was blown up.
And this time in the whole sky.
The Japanese 5 Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets are covering 12 Type 96 land attack aircraft to complete the bombing mission and withdraw from the battlefield. The enemy they are facing are 19 Chinese fighter jets that have come to support and the previous 3 Yi-15 fighter jets. The two sides are fighting in a chaotic manner. .
In another airspace, two Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets were fighting with three Hawker IIIs, two I-16s, and four I-15s.
In addition to a Hawker III and an I-16 that were damaged and escaped from the battlefield, the 18 aircraft taking off from Hankou Airport had already damaged two I-15s and a Hawker III, and the Japanese army only lost one Type 96. Carrier-based fighter.
The battle was fierce, with both sides feeling evenly matched.
But at this time, one of the two Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets fighting in the distance was destroyed, which undoubtedly made both sides worried.
Both China and Japan knew that one of the two Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets that seemed to be fighting each other belonged to their side.
The Chinese Air Force naturally knows the strength of the Type 96 carrier-based fighter. If its own one is destroyed, the situation will be biased towards the Japanese;
The same is true for the Japanese army. If theirs is destroyed, it means that the Type 96 carrier-based fighter flown by the Chinese pilot will become the key to breaking the balance of the battle.
Therefore, both sides are very concerned about the battlefield there, and both want to know immediately which plane survived.
When they saw the Chinese flag, the Chinese and Soviet pilots were very excited.
"Ula!"
"Well done!"
Lu Jichun clenched his fists excitedly. He had read Li Hang correctly.
Li Hang, who destroyed the second Japanese plane, flew his plane directly towards one of the two Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets that were fighting fiercely with Lu Jichun and others.
"Baga! Chinese, you are looking for death!"
Seeing Li Hang flying the plane towards him, the Japanese naval pilot of a Type 96 carrier-based fighter was so angry that he cursed in the cabin.
He was a team leader, and there was a radio in the plane. Naturally, his curses were heard by the Japanese pilots of the bombers, including Dalin.
But it’s of no use.
Because not long after, his plane was shot down by Lu Jichun.
This is actually luck.
The Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet had been injured by Li Hang. It originally wanted to escape from the battlefield, but was hit in the fuel tank by Lu Jichun who came out of nowhere.
Strictly speaking, Lu Jichun only has 0.5 of this record, and the other half belongs to Li Hang.
After the Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter was shot down, the Type 96 carrier-based fighter that was surrounded and killed by 2 Hawker IIIs, 2 I-16s, and 4 I-15s was also shot down.
However, before being shot down, this Type 96 carrier-based fighter destroyed an I-15 and damaged a Hawker III.
In this way, of the 18 fighter planes that took off from Hankou Airport, 4 were destroyed, 3 were damaged, and 4 enemy planes were destroyed, which can be considered a good result.
With 8 aircraft left, they immediately pounced on the remaining Japanese aircraft.
At this time, the Japanese bomber force no longer cared about completing the bombing mission. They just dropped the bombs and turned around to escape. The remaining five Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets were behind to provide cover.
However, at this time, the reinforcement fleet of the Chinese army had one I-15 shot down, one I-15 damaged, and 17 fighter planes. In addition to the 11 fighter planes taking off from Hankou Airport, there were still 28 fighter planes maintaining combat effectiveness. In this case, it is natural to pursue the victory.
Five Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets were entangled by the reinforcement fleet and three I-15s taking off from Hankou Airport. Li Hang, Lu Jichun, and Liang Tiancheng attacked the Japanese bomber group.
The Soviet pilots on the other eight Soviet fighter planes also understood and followed together to encircle and suppress the Japanese bomber group.
But the Japanese bombers were not slow, and the Yi-15 could not keep up. Therefore, the three Yi-15s were left to participate in the battle to encircle and suppress the five Type 96 carrier-based fighters, and the Type 96 carrier-based fighter piloted by Li Hang Two Hawker IIIs flown by , Lu Jichun and Liang Tiancheng and two I-16s flown by Soviet pilots caught up.
But the Japanese bomber group was not simple either. The target of Li Hang and the others was three 96 land attack aircraft. However, Liang Tiancheng failed to notice and the aircraft was damaged and emitted black smoke. They had no choice but to return.
Li Hang and Lu Jichun changed their minds and flew directly under the Jiuliu Land Attack's butt, and opened fire on the Jiuliu Land Attack's belly and engines on both sides.
"boom!"
There was an explosion.
"Baga, one of the engines of Unit 5 was destroyed. Send an order to Unit 5 to evacuate the battlefield immediately."
The 96 Land Attack is a twin-engine bomber. If one engine is missing, it can still maintain flight status with the remaining one. It can fly back without any accident.
But then came the surprise.
Li Hang would not let the enemy go, but beat him up and opened fire on the other engine of the bomber.
Soon, the engine also exploded.
The Japanese bombers that lost power suddenly slowed down greatly, and some were unable to maintain their flying attitude. The Japanese pilots inside the aircraft also began to panic.
At this time, Li Hang's fighter flew above the bomber's cockpit and opened fire violently at the pilot. After a round of bullets fell, the bomber, which lost its pilot and power, fell towards the ground.
The third aircraft was shot down alone!
"Baga, find a way to shoot him down!"
Seeing Li Hang provoking on the flank, Captain Dalin was so angry that he yelled from his position.
"Your Majesty Captain, we can't do it."
The co-pilot in front answered helplessly.
Because just half a minute ago, the revolving machine gun on the back of their bomber was disabled, and the operator was killed by a 'friendly' aircraft not far from the flank.
The machine guns on both sides, although they are also revolving machine guns, have a large blind spot.
"You, go to the back immediately and use that machine gun. I will personally be responsible for communications and observation!"
Dalin yelled at the second lieutenant's signal soldier on the side, forcing him to find a way to climb to the position of the revolving machine gun on the back of the aircraft.
But Li Hang did not have a chance to take revenge from the Japanese. He took advantage of the machine gun on the back of the Japanese aircraft to lose its effect, climbed directly up, then swooped down and fired at the cockpit.
The pilot in the Japanese plane saw this and climbed straight up. He wanted to go head-to-head with the enemy plane to see who was stronger!
