Comrade, your ingredients are too complicated.

900 kilometers per hour, perhaps many people have no idea about this dive speed.

But for the anti-aircraft team of the 23rd Division of the Japanese Army, the unfamiliar black fighter plane was like the scythe wielded by the god of death. Just one look at it would make them shudder.

"The anti-aircraft artillery team is on full alert!"

"Open fire quickly! We can't let that dive bomber get close to our transport train! We must stop it!"

To be honest, the elite troops from the Kwantung Army were really good. Whether in terms of execution or tactical level, their performance was far superior to that of the North China Front Army.

Faced with the Storm fighters that had just emerged from the clouds, the team leaders of each artillery group discovered the target at the first moment and immediately began to command their soldiers to stop the enemy.

Such incredible eyesight is somewhat like that of a navy fish oil fairy.

Of course, the bravest person was the train air defense commander Taro Kimoto. When the operation officially began, the colonel didn't care about his own safety at all, and he ran out of the armored car without hesitation.

The old Japanese soldier stared at the enemy planes that were diving at high speed, and stood on the commanding heights with a loud speaker to coordinate the dispatch.

This tough attitude of leading by example and setting an example really inspired the Japanese soldiers at the grassroots level for a while.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

It turns out that the Type 20 mm anti-aircraft machine gun copied from Sweden is indeed very powerful. Its firepower density and sustained combat capability far exceed those of the Type cannon, and the sky was soon covered with a layer of black clouds.

The performance of the Type 37 mm anti-aircraft gun is also good. The coordination between the two at medium and close distances even gives a sense of Bofors plus Oerlikon.

If Akagi, Kaga and Soryu had the opportunity to be equipped with these two air defense weapons, the Japanese Navy might have sunk one or two fewer aircraft carriers in the Battle of Midway.

"Yoshi! Well done."

"With our current firepower, even if we can't shoot down the dive bombers of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, we can still disrupt the enemy's bombing or drive them away in advance."

"Gentlemen, keep working hard! We must prove with practical actions that the enemy is not invincible!"

Although anti-aircraft guns cannot regain air superiority, even their medium and small caliber guns may not necessarily cause direct damage to the ground-licking machine.

However, ground forces can use dense barrages to interfere with the enemy pilots' vision, or force the attackers to drop bombs at a higher position, thereby protecting the transport targets. This is the reason why Taro Kimoto dared to make such harsh remarks.

Hearing their own colonel's passionate mobilization, all the Japanese felt a surge of blood in their hearts. Even the fear of the unknown before the war was diluted a little by the roars full of Showa flavor at the scene.

But the good times didn't last long, as they soon discovered a fatal problem.

It seemed that the barrage of bullets fired by our own antiaircraft guns did not cover the front of the enemy bombers at all. Looking closely, those dense black clouds were always half a beat behind, and all became an atmosphere group with zero killing effect.

"Masaka! Why on earth is this happening?"

"Is there something wrong with the observation device and the firing calculation device?"

"Pass my order, everyone, abandon your mechanical equipment. From now on, we will fight based on our accumulated experience!"

Generation gap, generation gap again, a naked technological generation gap.

In the middle of this year, Achou's SBD Dauntless dive bomber sank three aircraft carriers of the Combined Fleet.

The maximum horsepower of this carrier-based aircraft is less than 1000, and the maximum dive speed is only 500 kilometers per hour. If it exceeds a certain limit, the pilot will face life-threatening situations.

Let’s take a look at the Baofeng MK6 driven by Fang Ziyi. Its maximum horsepower is more than three times that of the SBD, and its current dive speed has reached the standard of the early Cold War.

Your book couldn't even stop the bomber that first flew in 1940, do you think you can create a miracle in front of the plane in 1946?
······
After entering the dive, Fang Ziyi's Storm was hardly disturbed. The seemingly fierce anti-aircraft artillery barrage could not keep up with the attack rhythm of him and his wingman.

"Tsk, is this what visual air defense is? There's really no pressure at all."

"When I was driving a Typhoon before, I had to twist and turn when I broke through, and if I wasn't careful, I might even capsize in a ditch. Now when I'm driving a Storm, I can blow up the enemy's anti-aircraft guns with just the speed alone."

"This is just the doomsday propeller. I really want to know how brutal the so-called jet fighter is."

As soon as these words were spoken, the wingman pilot immediately responded in the communication channel.

Driving a Storm in combat is not just about relying on technological differences to kill enemies. Its stronger power and better control system allow rookie pilots to kill enemies on the battlefield.
In this way, the Second Air Division will have more and more experienced pilots, and the troops will be able to embark on the road of becoming richer and richer. This is the most valuable advantage of the new fighter jets.

"Captain Fang, I heard from Captain Wang and the others that the next generation of close support aircraft is the legendary jet."

"Perhaps after the engine is replaced, the way the troops fight will undergo earth-shaking changes. I wonder if we can still dive on the enemy without restraint in the future."

Unlike piston fighters, Huang He did not reveal much about the principles and information of jet fighters, so the air force soldiers often speculated and discussed them privately.

Just as Fang Ziyi was exchanging driving experiences with his wingman pilot, the armored transport train carrying the 23rd Division was getting closer and closer in their sight.

They were all elites of the Second Air Division, so the two Storms dived while strafing with their western guns until they reached the maximum safe altitude before activating the bomb dropping device.

After feeling the vibration of the fuselage, the two aces quickly pulled up the joystick and began to climb again.

This is the most dangerous stage of dive bombing. The enemy is likely to take advantage of the gap when the fighter planes slow down and use anti-aircraft guns to launch a desperate fight.

Reality is not like War Thunder, where if your plane explodes, you can just switch to another one and continue playing. But on the battlefield, the soldiers flying the planes are real people, and no one will joke with their own lives.

As expected, the anti-aircraft team on the flatbed truck fought back under the command of Colonel Taro Moto.

However, the climbing speed in the early days of the Cold War was no longer a data that could be matched by visual air defense. No matter how many shells were fired, they were no different from a farewell salute.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Four 250-kilogram high-explosive bombs easily smashed through the roof of the transport carriage, and a series of large fireballs completely dyed the pre-dawn sky red. The violent explosion blew off several carriages, which flew high and then smashed down heavily, scattering the rails underneath them.

The Japanese squad responsible for air defense also suffered heavy losses in the air raid. Although the Japanese were not the main target, their mortal bodies could not withstand the power of the explosion.

The precious Type 75 mm anti-aircraft gun had lost its ability to continue fighting. However, Kimoto Taro had no time to feel sad, because the old devil himself had also fallen into a coma.

"Climb, keep climbing!"

"Before retreating, the crew that has completed the bombing will maintain altitude and be responsible for guarding the mission airspace."

"Once you find any trace of the Japanese Army Aviation, you must report to me immediately. Air combat is allowed, but no one is allowed to fight alone!"

Those few carriages were just an appetizer. When Fang Ziyi climbed to a safe enough altitude, the remaining Storm fighters dived one after another.

The first plane was jammed by anti-aircraft guns and dropped its bomb too early. The bomb landed 20 meters east of the transport train, and the impact of the explosion barely reached the enemy's position.

The second plane drew a beautiful U-shape in the air, and with a shrill scream, two 250-kilogram high-explosive bombs hit the Japanese anti-aircraft machine gun positions.

"Boom! Boom!"

Several 13.2mm anti-aircraft machine guns were blown to pieces on the spot. A squad of Japanese soldiers in the position were directly integrated into one, and there were almost no intact living things in the area within a radius of dozens of meters.

Again, this is just the beginning.

As more and more Storm fighters selected their targets and dived, it became unknown how many of the Japanese soldiers from the 23rd Division could successfully reach Jinan.

······
Seeing that the crews were starting to attack one after another, Fang Ziyi and his wingman withdrew their gazes.

Most of the comrades were veterans who joined the Air Force in 41 and had flown through the three winds of Hawke, namely hurricane, typhoon and storm. It was just a train that could not move and could not pose any threat at all.

Just as the two were about to climb to the designated altitude, the pilot of the wingman suddenly said in the communication channel:
"Team Fang, how do we calculate the results of this mission? Each of us destroyed almost one and a half carriages. We can't draw a train on our fighter planes."

"Let's be honest. Our division really needs to have a good discussion about the merits of destroying the enemy train."

"Last time we bombed the Mongolian Army and the North China Front Army on the Pingsui Railway, it was a mess. This time we have to have a policy."

During World War II, the air forces, army and navy of the major participating countries generally claimed greater performance than their actual performance.

Especially on the Eastern Front in Europe, the actual combat performance of the Russian Il-2 has basically become a long-lasting hot topic on the Internet.

Of course, if we talk about the most incredible level, it would be the VVS that, after several hours of fighting, finally beat the Germans and destroyed 17 tanks of the 240th Armored Division.

Well, this kind of battle report is not a matter of adding water, it's simply adding battle results to the water.

During the Battle of Kursk, the 17th Panzer Division was almost the poorest unit on the Eastern Front. Even if you add up the tanks, assault guns, weasels, half-tracks and armored reconnaissance vehicles, the number is just over a hundred.

How can there be so many tanks? Do you really think we are playing a land battle arcade? Or is it the German three logistics with 4 steel maintenance companies per capita?

When it comes to the level of the base camp's battle reports, we still have to look to the Russians.

In order to avoid being criticized by netizens in later generations and to maintain strict military discipline, as early as the early days of the establishment of the Second Air Division, the combat heroes developed a seamless combat report recording system, which is why the wingman pilots were troubled.

Hearing his colleague's question, Fang Ziyi fell into deep thought. The train was indeed a blind spot that had not been considered before.

"Okay, then when I'm free some other day, I'll call Captain Wang over for a meeting. Then we can have a good discussion and try to solve the problems that have been exposed recently..."

Before he could finish his words, a burst of urgent reports suddenly came from the communication channel.

Realizing that an enemy was about to attack, the two hurriedly stopped chatting and waited attentively for the other party to tell them the latest enemy situation.

"Team, enemy aviation has been spotted to our northeast. According to observation, the enemy's reinforcement force has about two squadrons, mainly Type 97 fighters. We have not spotted Type 1 Fighting Falcon or Type 2 Fighting Zhong Kui yet."

"Can we take the initiative to attack? Everyone is ready to fight."

As soon as he said this, Fang Ziyi immediately looked down at the battlefield. At present, most of the crews have climbed to the air combat altitude, but a few are still struggling to climb.

Although relying on their excellent performance, the comrades of the Second Division were able to engage in dogfights with the enemy at medium and low altitudes.

However, the theory of rational use of air combat energy is still the best solution to deal with the Japanese army aviation.

After a brief thought, Fang Ziyi picked up the communicator and ordered:

"We must take the initiative this time and stop the enemy's aviation outside the battlefield to buy time for our comrades to climb to a higher altitude. Remember, if we can't win the fight, use the advantage of the fighter planes to escape the battle."

"The Second Air Division is a close support force. It's not shameful if we can't win in an air battle."

"Roger that!"

After that, the twelve Storm fighters ended their circling and formed an air combat formation to fly towards the northeast of the battlefield. Just when the comrades reached the distance enough to engage the Japanese Army Air Force, the enemy's formation inexplicably became chaotic.

Just a few seconds later, the four Type 97 fighters suddenly began to half-reverse and then gradually fell.

"boom!"

Under the stunned gaze of both the enemy and our side, the fighter planes seemed to have made up their minds and crashed into the ground resolutely.

"Uh, what does this mean? Could it be the suicide attack the navy comrades just mentioned? But there is something on the ground, why can't I see anything?"

"Team Fang, can those four enemy planes just now be considered as achievements? The young soldiers are eager to make achievements." (End of this chapter)
