"Little devil, if I want to catch up with you, Grandpa Zhou, just wait."
On the other side of the battlefield, Zhou Zhikai, who was originally chasing a Japanese plane, had changed roles with the Japanese plane.
At this time, he became the party being pursued. After all, he was only a novice who had graduated for more than a month. He did not have much experience on the battlefield. Although he had Li Hang's teachings, he was not very skilled in using it on the battlefield.
But it’s not like I learned nothing.
Although he was bitten by the Japanese army, he used his high speed to escape directly, and then looked for an opportunity to hit the Japanese plane again.
This is also the 'one-hit escape tactic' invented by Li Hang.
It's very simple. In close combat, the maneuverability of the Yi-16-6 or Yi-16-10 is obviously not as good as that of the Type 96 carrier-based fighter.
However, the Yi-16 also has advantages, such as strong firepower and fast speed, which are especially demonstrated more intuitively on the Yi-16-10 model.
The maximum speed is 30 to 40 kilometers faster than the Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet, and it has four aviation machine guns. With the weak protection of Japanese aircraft, as long as the I-16-10 aircraft can aim at the Japanese aircraft and fire for a few seconds, the Japanese aircraft will be disabled. .
Therefore, the Yi-16-10 fighter jet can use high speed and strong firepower to break up the Japanese formation in formation combat at the very beginning, and then when fighting alone, it can find an opportunity to hit a shuttle of bullets and run away, and then find an opportunity to fight again. A shuttle.
Li Hang had just begun to use this tactic, so it was only he and Zhou Zhikai who met. The latter obviously remembered this tactic. Although he failed to destroy the Japanese plane that was fighting, he was not in trouble.
The Japanese pilot could only curse in the cockpit.
But he soon discovered Li Hang coming out from behind and dived directly at high speed without bothering to chase Zhou Zhikai.
He had just used this trick to get rid of Zhou Zhikai, but he underestimated Li Hang.
Compared with Zhou Zhikai, who lacks self-confidence, Li Hang is much more confident. He does not believe that the Japanese aircraft really dare to continue diving.
The Japanese plane was also frightened by Li Hang, and without caring about anything else, it quickly raised its altitude and dived vertically like this. Even if his plane escaped pursuit, it would lose control and fall into the lake.
After reaching an altitude of 1,000 meters, before the Japanese pilot could take a breath, Zhou Zhikai, who had been waiting for a long time, came over to kill him.
The Japanese plane could only maneuver to avoid it, but Li Hang also caught up.
Under the joint outflanking of Li Hang and Li Hang, the Japanese plane was eventually destroyed.
After taking care of the two enemy planes, Li Hang and the two began to return to the main battlefield.
The two of them were already far away from the main battlefield, and were almost to the east bank of Poyang Lake.
When they quickly returned to the battlefield, they found an I-16 fighter jet exploding in the air, then disintegrating and falling.
Because the distance was too far, Li Hang and Li Hang could not see the plane number clearly, but they were also a little worried.
Naturally, I was worried about whether the person who was shot down was from the 23rd Squadron.
Although the 21st Squadron also flies the Yi-16 fighter jet, Li Hang and Li Hang both belong to the 23rd Squadron. The nine of them have been getting along day and night. Although the time is short, their comradeship is very deep.
However, in this chaotic air battle, the two of them were unable to verify whose plane was destroyed.
At this time, the battle on the main battlefield was in chaos.
The 12 Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets and 12 Type 96 land attack aircraft at the rear of the Japanese army also joined the battlefield, mainly fighting with the 28 fighters that took off from the China Air Force.
Most of the fighter jets taking off from the Chinese Air Force are I-15s, and there are only 12 I-16s. They are all early I-16-6 models, and their performance is much worse than the I-16-10.
It was not that the Soviet army was cheating on its own people, but that these aircraft were the first to come to China, and the Iraqi 16-10 only started to provide assistance in the past month or two.
The newly arrived I-16 fighter jets equipped by the Chinese Air Force are new models.
The 12 Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets have also left the bomber formation. As for the bomber formation, it also has a strong self-defense capability. When gathered together, it can form a powerful firepower network. Shooting down these bombers also requires some skills and recklessness. It will only cause a bloody head.
"Little devil, I'll fight you!"
Just when Li Hang and his two men returned to the battlefield, they saw Plane 2303 frantically chasing a Japanese plane, regardless of the fact that there was another Japanese plane chasing him behind him.
Li Hang was a little confused. How could Liang Tiancheng fight alone?
Where are his two wingmen?
Also, the first and fourth detachments only saw one in the air. Where were the rest?
Both of them couldn't help but think wildly, but a Japanese plane chasing Liang Tiancheng spotted Li Hang, and not long after, three more Japanese planes came outflanking him.
"Is the little devil crazy? Do you recognize me?"
Li Hang was a little surprised when he saw four Japanese planes outflanking him, and then he guessed the reason.
He was afraid that the pilot of the Japanese plane would recognize him and call his friends to surround him.
Liang Tiancheng wanted to rescue Li Hang, but one of the Japanese planes bit him, making him unable to care about Li Hang.
The remaining three Japanese planes paid no attention to the other Chinese Air Force planes on the battlefield and were focused on dealing with Li Hang.
The reason is also very simple.
Li Hang was a devil in the eyes of Japanese naval aviation pilots, and he was the number one target to kill.
The former has acquired almost twenty Japanese aircraft and is already known as China's number one ace pilot. If the Japanese pilot can shoot down Li Hang's plane, he will not only make a great contribution, but also establish his position in the military.
The Army Airlines actually wanted to shoot down Li Hang's plane, but the Army Airlines' Type 95 fighter jets were so incompetent that they could only think about it.
But HNA is different.
Three of the four great kings of Japanese aviation were lost on the Chinese battlefield, leaving only one.
The other pilots naturally wanted to gain prestige in the military by shooting down Li Hang's fighter plane, so the three Japanese planes directly outflanked him.
Among these three Japanese planes, the pilot of one of them was Tetsuzo Iwamoto, who had just been transferred to the Chinese battlefield.
This Japanese naval aviation pilot recruit who had just arrived on the Chinese battlefield was performing a combat mission for the first time, but his performance was outstanding.
Originally, he was only responsible for escorting the 96 land attack. In the battle just now, he had shot down three Chinese fighter planes, namely 2 Yi-15 fighter jets and 1 Yi-16 fighter jet. There is no doubt that he has become the key player in this air battle. Among Japanese pilots, he was the pilot who shot down the largest number of Chinese fighter planes.
In this case, Tetsuzo Iwamoto's confidence soared. When he heard that the devil Li Hang was also there, he immediately joined the battle to surround Li Hang.
Shooting down three Chinese fighter planes is not a big deal, but if he shoots down Li Hang's plane, Tetsuzo Iwamoto will be one of the best ace pilots among Hainan Airlines pilots.
Being young and energetic, he didn't want to miss this opportunity.
But he still thought it was too simple.
Li Hang directly got rid of the pursuit of Iwamoto Tetsuzo and others through several rapid rolls, and then broke up their formation through high-speed head-on. He bit one of them and fired four machine guns directly, blowing up one of them on the spot.
