Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

On the roof of the aviation school's teaching building, Kang Changhe held a German-made air observation scope similar to Lu Feng's and looked at the eastern sky.

After observing for a while, he had to put down the observation glass and rubbed his eyes.

At this time, the sun had risen to a certain height, causing Kang Changhe and the others to encounter the same dilemma as the Japanese pilots yesterday. It was difficult to find the incoming Japanese aircraft under the cover of the sun.

However, thanks to the early warning from the Red Party, the aviation school has made complete arrangements. Since it can't be seen clearly from the ground, monitor and observe from the sky.

In the sky northeast of Jianqiao Airport, two Chancewater O3U-2 reconnaissance aircraft hovered at an altitude of five thousand meters.

This altitude was already close to the limit of the aircraft. After staying for a long time, the crew members all suffered from altitude sickness.

However, in order to better monitor the entire battlefield, the crews of the two reconnaissance planes were trying hard to persist and were unwilling to lower their flying altitude.

Soon, they discovered two Japanese flying formations flying from the east, and quickly informed Mao Bangchu on the ground.

In the command building of Jianqiao Airport, when he learned that six Japanese aircraft were about to fly over Jianqiao Airport, Mao Bangchu quickly judged that the opponent was just the vanguard.

"Let the aircraft of the Fourth Group continue to remain highly concealed. Don't show up first. Wait for the enemy's large force to launch an attack before taking action."

Mao Bangchu gave the order to the correspondent.

"What about these six enemy planes?"

"Just leave it to Lao Kang and the others. If we don't let these enemy planes eat a few mouthfuls of meat, I'm afraid the Japanese army behind them won't dare to come over."

The Japanese want to plot Jianqiao Airport to defeat the main force of the Chinese Air Force in one fell swoop.

And why does the Chinese Air Force not want to destroy the effective force of the Japanese Air Force?
After learning about the Japanese army's raid plan, Mao Bangchu planned to find a way to eat up this Japanese bombing formation.

In order to confuse the Japanese pilots, Mao Bangchu even specially pulled the wooden "planes" and other teaching aids from the school to the runway after all his own planes took off.

He acted as if he had no time to respond.

If the Chinese Air Force, which has already taken off, is allowed to fight the six Japanese aircraft at this time, it should be no problem to eliminate them. It can also be done to protect Jianqiao Airport.

But in this way, it will inevitably scare away the large Japanese troops behind.

How is this possible?

I set up such a huge formation and moved all the moving planes. Is it just to eat two peanuts from you?

To the east of Jianqiao Airport, in the sky around Huanghe Mountain, the flight formations of the Chinese Air Force's Fourth Brigade and the Aviation School were flying northeast.

One of the important reasons why the Jianqiao area was selected by the government as the location of the Central Aviation School is that the terrain here is flat and open, which is conducive to the takeoff and landing of aircraft.

Moreover, if any enemy plane comes to launch an attack, it will be quickly discovered by the air surveillance post.

But this also brought about a problem, that is, Mao Bangchu's ambush circle had to be very large. After all, there were hundreds of planes flying in the sky, and the Japanese pilots were not blind, so how could they not see them?

Therefore, the Chinese Air Force's aircrew formation had to fly eastward first, fly out of sight, then make a circle, and then bite up from behind the Japanese air force formation.

In the cockpit of the Hawker III fighter No. 88 at the front of the flight formation, Captain Gao, who received Mao Bangchu's order, quickly estimated the itinerary of the Japanese aircraft in his mind and constantly corrected his flight route.

Strive to enter the battle at the most appropriate time.

"Here it comes, it's a Type 800 fighter jet, flying at an altitude of 300, flying at a speed of 45, and diving at degrees."

Kang Changhe kept reporting various parameters, and the anti-aircraft gun and anti-aircraft machine gun teams around him quickly adjusted the shooting parameters according to the data he reported.

Not everyone can be like Lu Feng, who can control a machine gun freely by one person. The performance of Kang Changhe and the others is the true situation of most air defense forces today.

The observation post/commander determines the target, and the gunner team only needs to carry out the order.

Kang Changhe lived up to his reputation. The entire air defense position cooperated in an orderly manner under his orders. The firepower network composed of several machine guns and more than a dozen machine guns almost restricted any direction change angle of the aircraft.

As long as the opponent enters his effective shooting range, Kang Changhe can guarantee that he can hit the opponent.

As for whether it is injured or shot down, it depends on luck.

"Om-"

Accompanied by a sharp and piercing roar, a Japanese aircraft dived down first and dropped belly-mounted bombs towards several "aircrafts" on the airport runway.

"boom"

"Da da da"

The sound of bomb explosions and the sound of gunfire from anti-aircraft positions sounded almost simultaneously.

Kang Changhe chose the most deadly opportunity and opened fire at the moment when the Japanese aircraft pulled up after completing the bomb drop. At this time, there is almost no possibility of the aircraft changing direction.

"Rumble"

At this time, the Japanese aircraft was directly hit by countless bullets and artillery shells, and immediately turned into a ball of fire and crashed on the runway.

"Oh!"

The people around Kang Changhe cheered.

"Don't relax, there are still enemies!"

Because Kang Changhe provided proper cover, the Japanese army did not discover the air defense position on the roof of the building until a plane was shot down.

Immediately, the remaining five Japanese aircraft changed their formation and began to target Kang Changhe and the others.

Kang Changhe looked at the five enemy planes scattered above his head and knew in his heart that the next step was a tough battle.

In the next ten minutes, Kang Changhe's position repelled several attacks from Japanese aircraft, but the air defense position south of the airport had to be exposed.

Facing the prepared Japanese aircraft, they failed to achieve any effective results and only damaged two of them.

"What are they doing? Are they watching a show! I'll call them liars!"

After a round of cannon fire, several student pilots in the position began to curse.

Because until now, the guy who claimed to have shot down a dozen Japanese planes still hasn't fired a single shot.

It's like he doesn't exist at all.

There have been quite a few casualties on our own side.

This situation made many student pilots and even the soldiers of the air defense company feel dissatisfied.

"Okay, leave them alone and do our own thing."

After Kang Changhe said something with a dark face, he continued to pick up the air observation scope, preparing to capture the next suitable opportunity.

From the beginning of the war until now, he has not looked over at Jidian Road again.

"What is he waiting for?"

In the command building, Mao Bang glanced north for the first time.

Although he only met Lu Feng and the others once, he did not think that such a group of people who could rush to rescue him at night would not save him, or that they would run away from the battle.

The only explanation is that the other party is waiting.

"Is it possible?"

Mao Bangchu raised his eyebrows.

"coming!"

the correspondent suddenly shouted.

Mao Bangchu's face turned solemn.

After waiting for so long, the "guest" has finally arrived.

"Where are Captain Gao and the others?"

"They have now turned over Tongxiang. According to Captain Gao, it will take them about five minutes."

"Five minutes."

Mao Bangchu faced the dazzling sunlight and looked at the dozens of black spots in the eastern sky.

Five minutes is enough time for these Japanese planes to blow up the entire aviation school, right?
From the time he made this plan, Mao Bangchu knew that the aviation school would not be saved.

The most important thing in air combat is initiative. Only by allowing the Japanese aircraft to lower their altitude and carry out bombing can Captain Gao and the others better take the initiative in the subsequent air battle.

However, using such an empty school in exchange for so many Japanese aircraft is a deal worth doing!
"Find a place to hide. Let Lao Kang and the others prepare to hide. The rest is up to Zhihang and the others."

"Yes."
