Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Chapter 389 Strong Wind (Twenty)
Under the setting sun, three thousand meters above sea level.

The Northrop bomber numbered 904, together with other aircraft in the Ninth Group flight formation, dived towards the Japanese aircraft formation above Lu Feng's head.

Air combat, because of the particularity of its location, is a form of combat that must take into account as much as possible the various conditions in the three-dimensional space.

Wind direction, light, clouds, altitude and other conditions can be said to be crucial in air combat. Which side can make full use of these conditions, and which side can gain the initiative in the air battle.

This is why it is very expensive to train a qualified pilot, and an excellent pilot is even more valuable.

Although the current hardware equipment of the Chinese Air Force is much worse than that of the Japanese, it can be said that it is definitely not inferior to the opponent in terms of flight technology and combat intuition.

When the Ninth Air Force, which returned to Guangde Airport to complete resupply and was dispatched again, received a request for help from Zhang Wenbai's headquarters, Deputy Captain Sun Tonggang, as the commander-in-chief of the operation, did not say that he would rush to the battlefield in Shanghai in such a hurry.

He first communicated with the headquarters about the movements of Japanese aircraft on the beach, while ordering the aircraft formation to increase their flying altitude.

Sun Tonggang knows very well that with the current strength of the Ninth Group, it is absolutely impossible to head-on the nearly 100 Japanese aircraft.

Therefore, he must make up for it from various objective conditions and use all the factors that can be used as much as possible.

Perhaps it’s like the old saying goes: God helps those who help themselves.

It's just that at this time, facing the Chinese Air Force's Ninth Group, which has an absolute advantage and has entered an attack state, the pilots of the Kisarazu Aviation Group have lost the ability to resist.

The dazzling sunlight became the best cover for the Ninth Group. Even the Japanese pilots with the best eyesight would not be able to detect the Ninth Group attacking from the sky under the scorching summer sun.

As a single-seat fighter, the Type 96 fighter naturally does not have a tail gunner configuration, so once someone bites its tail, it means that it will fall into a purely passive situation of being beaten.

After the first strike was successful, except for the Northrop bomber formation with slightly poor maneuverability, the more than twenty Hawker III fighter jets of the Ninth Group were all in two-by-two formations, quickly adjusting their flying postures, and clenching tightly. those remaining attack targets.

Coupled with the fact that the Ninth Battalion used more troops to fight against smaller troops, the Japanese troops who were still aggressive before were beaten to death.

Although the performance of the Type 96 fighter is slightly better than that of the Hawker III fighter, due to Lu Feng's previous attack and the previous assault, the current Japanese flying formation was beaten to pieces. , it was impossible to form a battle formation that could cooperate and support each other for a while.

Strive to cause maximum damage to the Japanese flying force.

This is a very favorable condition. If our side can seize this opportunity, the initial dive attack will cause the Japanese army to suffer heavy losses.

When Sun Tonggang and his flight formation flew over the Jiading area, a gap suddenly opened in the sky that had been shrouded in clouds.

Ever since, when the Chinese Air Force planes were bathed in the golden sunset and falling from the sky with dazzling tongues of fire, more than 20 Japanese planes circling around Lu Feng were shot down in an instant.

In combat, the important thing is that it is better to cut off one finger than to injure ten of them. Therefore, in the first wave of attacks, Sun Tonggang asked the pilots of the Ninth Group to form a three-machine formation and focus on attacking one target.

Then wait for an opportunity to compete with the opponent for the initiative in air combat again.

"shhhhhh"

If there is no coordinated help from the wingman, or if it is impossible to rely on its own technology, aircraft performance and other abilities to escape the predicament of being pursued, being shot down is just a matter of time.

"Fire!"

Following Sun Tonggang's order, more than 40 aircraft of the Ninth Group pulled the triggers of their cannons almost simultaneously. The trajectory of dozens of tracer bullets was like a brilliant meteor shower, slamming into the Japanese troops around Lu Feng. airplane.

After learning from the headquarters that the Japanese aircraft had launched a bombing campaign, Sun Tonggang judged that the flying altitude of the Japanese aircraft at this time should not be particularly high.

As an elite force, the Kisarazu Aviation Brigade naturally cannot be a fool. After judging its own situation, without Ishikawachi giving orders, the Japanese aircraft in the formation found their own paths to disperse, trying to escape from the ninth The attack range of the brigade.

It wasn't until the aircraft formation of the Ninth Group flew over Zhabei District that the pilots of the Kisarazu Aviation Group discovered such a group of enemies that suddenly appeared.

Many times, what determines the outcome of a war is often the full blow at the beginning.

In the cockpit of one of the Type 96 fighter jets that was escaping, Ishikawachi looked at the remaining dozen team members who were fleeing in all directions, and his heart became more and more frightened.

In order to encircle Lu Feng, he gathered most of the fighter jets in this attack formation together.

I thought it was a battle of revenge, but I didn't want it to turn into the bad situation it is now.

Although there are still more than 70 Japanese aircraft in the sky above Shanghai, almost twice as many as the Ninth Group.

But the problem is that among these more than 70 aircraft, there are only twenty or thirty Type 96 fighter jets left, and the rest are old Type 89 carrier-based aircraft.

This kind of aircraft, which flies slowly, has poor maneuverability, and only has a few 7.7mm machine guns as self-defense weapons, is almost the same as a free one in front of a Hawker III fighter jet.

To make matters worse, as time goes by, the number of friendly fighters continues to decrease.

Ishikawa Neishan looked at the two Hawker III fighter jets behind him that were eyeing him. The thought of retreat began to appear in Ishikawa Neishen's mind.

But Shihe Neishen refused to say this order for a long time.

Their Kisarazu Aviation Group's attack this time was to establish the reputation of their naval aviation force and to show the strength of their Imperial Japanese pilots in the eyes of the world.

But now, looking at the 20 or 30 pieces of plane wreckage still burning on the ground, and thinking that the elite force of the Kisarazu Air Brigade that originally carried it was turning into lumps of coke, Ishikawa Neishan felt a cramp in his heart. .

He knew very well that once he issued a retreat order at this time, it would mean that this battle was a complete failure. Compared with death, failure was more difficult for Ishikawa to accept.

Do we really want the honor of the Kisarazu Aviation Brigade to be humiliated here?

Fortunately, someone made a decision for Ishikawa ginseng.

It wasn't until his lower limbs exploded and scattered into the sky along with the broken body that the heartbreaking pain climbed onto Ishikawa Neishen's brain nerves.

Ishikawa Neishen stared at the holes in the cabin with wide eyes. This kind of caliber cannot be shot by the cannon of the Hawker III fighter jet.

Ishikawachi looked back at the air defense position, which was almost the same as a ruin.

Stimulated by the severe pain, his brain was extremely clear and fast at this time, so he quickly estimated the distance between himself and the other party.

Two kilometers.

How could he hit so accurately at this distance? How could he still hit so accurately?

Even though he had a lot of questions in his mind, the only thing Ishikawa got out of his mouth was that short command that he had prepared for a long time:
"All aircraft, immediately retreat to the Yangshupu area and let the air defense forces on the ground and ships cover you."

Just as he finished speaking, Ishikawa Neishen's plane roared and fell from the sky just like other planes hit by Lu Feng.

From the shooting position of the bunker, Lu Feng looked at the fallen plane in the distance, and silently added another touch to the cracked wall next to it.

There are already a dozen scratches of varying depths on the wall.

Represents the number of enemy aircraft that Lu Feng just shot down.

This is not Lu Feng showing off, but recording changes in the number of enemies.

I have to say that Ishikawa Neishen's tactics were very successful. The pressure Lu Feng endured in the bunker was not ordinary.

If it hadn't been for the assistance of Zhou Weiguo and the unknown national air defense force, Lu Feng felt that he might not have been able to survive the arrival of the air force.

It is precisely in the face of this huge pressure that Lu Feng has grown more and more obviously. Now he can capture and aim at close-range air targets with the naked eye.

Combined with an air observation scope, Lu Feng's effective range will be greatly improved.

This is also the reason why he was able to shoot down Ishikawa Neishen's plane.

Lu Feng didn't know that the commander of the Japanese flying force was in the plane he shot down, but even if he knew, Lu Feng probably wouldn't care too much.

They are all devils anyway.

He just breathed a sigh of relief after shooting down the last Japanese aircraft within his range.

Lu Feng looked at the Chinese Air Force, which was chasing the Japanese aircraft all the way like a rainbow in the sky, and nodded slightly.

Leave the rest to them.

In the combat command room of the "Izumo".

Hase Aokawa also learned about the battle situation in the sky through the air patrol on the ship. After learning that the Kisarazu Air Group was being pursued by Chinese Air Force aircraft, Hase Aokawa immediately ordered the deployment of the Third Fleet. The air defense force was ready to respond to the retreating Japanese aircraft.

However, before the Third Fleet's anti-aircraft firepower was ready, another formation composed of dozens of aircraft appeared from the southwest sky.

Heading towards the Third Fleet on the Huangpu River.

The visitor was the Fourth Battalion of the Chinese Air Force, which had just repelled the Japanese bomber formation and achieved an excellent result of 4:0.

At this time, the Fourth Brigade was in full swing. After joining the battlefield, they quickly began to contact and cooperate with the Ninth Brigade, and together they launched attacks on Japanese aircraft and fleets.

This sudden formation of aircraft completely disrupted the agreed cooperation plan between the Kisarazu Air Group and the Third Fleet, turning the Japanese army's originally orderly retreat route into a mess.

Facing the sudden increase in the number of Chinese Air Force aircraft in the sky, the Third Fleet's air defense team was unable to even take care of its own safety, let alone cover the Kisarazu Air Group.

There was no way, who allowed them to have more than 20 large and small ships clustered on the river that was only ten kilometers long. With such a dense arrangement, if you want to make large-scale evasive maneuvers, it is very likely to cause a ship collision.

So they can only fight positional warfare.

This allows the Chinese Air Force aircraft to drop bombs on Japanese ships without having to aim too deliberately.

In this way, under the watchful eyes of many military observers on the roof of the Sassoon Building, the Chinese Air Force almost repeated the previous intensive bombing by the Japanese army.

Although the targets of the two bombings were different, and the yield gap of the bombs was not small, both showed how powerful the air force bombing was.

only.
While everyone marveled at the power of the air force's bombing, they also remembered the national air defense force in Zhabei.

Everyone wants to know how the other party did this breathtaking operation?
