Film and Television Beacon Fire: I Have an Equipment Column

Lu Feng is very sleepy now.

Since the early morning of the 14th, he has not slept for more than thirty hours.

During this period, he and his team members experienced several concentrated battles, and also traveled long distances and bumpy nights, which consumed a lot of energy.

For example, Zheng Shusen and Zhang Chu went directly to the residence arranged by Mao Bangchu to rest just after the battle.

Lu Feng originally wanted to take a rest, but he was called to a meeting by Mao Bangchu at first. Later he heard about Mao Bangchu's raid plan, so he steeled himself and persisted until now.

Although he had nothing to do with the air raid, it did not prevent Lu Feng from personally sending off the Chinese Air Force pilots who participated in the operation.

Regardless of whether they are the pilots of the Fourth Group or the Ninth Group, they have all seen Lu Feng's achievements with their own eyes, so they respect such a powerful ground gunner very much.

"Major Ma, do you have anything to say to them?"

After giving a mobilization speech to the pilots participating in the operation, Mao Bangchu asked Lu Feng.

Lu Feng looked at the young and energetic faces in front of him, and felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Two consecutive days of great air battle victories gave these young pilots endless confidence, shattered the myth that the Japanese army was invincible, and greatly boosted the morale of the military and civilians.

However, Lu Feng also saw some not-so-good things from the expressions of these young pilots:
arrogant.

Blind arrogance.

Two consecutive big victories seemed to have made them ignore the huge gap in industrial manufacturing capabilities between China and Japan. Many of them even regarded this air raid mission as something they could easily do, as if victory was within easy reach.

This is not a good state.

"I've always been a straightforward person."

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Feng slowly said:
"Everyone, what do you think was the biggest mistake made by Japanese pilots during our two battles?"

Without waiting for anyone else to answer, Lu Feng continued:
“It’s arrogance, it’s pride and complacency. As the old saying goes: An arrogant soldier will be defeated.

So I hope that everyone will not make the same mistake. "

As soon as these words were said, the excitement on everyone's faces suddenly froze.

Looking at this scene, Lu Feng didn't pay much attention. He felt that he was getting better and better at saying unpleasant things to offend others.

It is better to say something harsh now than to regret it later when you suffer a loss.

In this way, the heated pre-war mobilization rally that had been originally proposed by Mao Bang was poured with cold water by Lu Feng, and the temperature suddenly dropped.

What changed because of Lu Feng's words was not only the mood of the pilots, but also some combat arrangements.

In the original combat plan discussed by Mao Bangchu and everyone, this time the combat formations were dispatched at full capacity.

Because no one in China currently knows how many bombs are needed to sink an aircraft carrier weighing tens of thousands of tons.

So everyone's idea is to put as many bombs on the planes as possible, and the hard stack will also sink the little devil's aircraft carrier.

Anyway, according to the intelligence sent back by the forward reconnaissance aircraft, there is currently no protective force around the Japanese aircraft carrier formation.

However, after Lu Feng poured cold water on them, Mao Bangchu and the others calmed down a lot. After a brief discussion, they removed the bomb mounts of some of the Hawker III fighter jets in this combat formation so that they could better deal with them. Bombing formation escorts.

Although the impact on Japanese aircraft carriers will definitely be reduced a lot, the advantage is safety.

This simple adjustment delayed everyone's departure by another ten minutes.

Until all the adjustments were in place, the mixed bombing formation composed of the Fourth and Ninth Groups, consisting of nearly a hundred aircraft of various types, slowly took off from Jianqiao Airport in batches.

Japanese espionage activities in the Hangzhou area are also very active. If such a large flight formation is to be dispatched collectively, it will inevitably attract the attention of Japanese spies. Therefore, the entire bombing formation will be divided into more than a dozen different teams, first leaving Jianqiao Airport from various directions, and finally gathering over the estuary of the Qiantang River.

The location of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation heading to the Shengsi Islands.

The window of the command room.

After the last plane of the formation disappeared over Jianqiao Airport, Lu Feng headed towards the resting place arranged by Mao Bangchu without looking back.

You have done all you can do, and the rest depends on the performance of these pilots.

As for himself, he should take a good rest and recuperate enough to face the long battle ahead.

Mao Bangchu looked at Lu Feng's retreating figure and felt a burst of emotion in his heart.

This Major Ma is really a weirdo, he doesn't seem to care about anything, and he is a bit too upright in what he says.

But his ability is really great.

Is this probably just arrogance? But it feels a little inappropriate.

Shaking his head, Mao Bangchu shook these messy thoughts out of his head. As a commander, his most important task at the moment is to execute this operation perfectly.

When Mao Bangchu thought about the fact that he could destroy the Japanese aircraft carrier, he felt a sense of excitement rising from his tailbone to the sky.

Refreshing!

As the main fighter currently attached to the Japanese aviation force, the Type 430 fighter has a maximum flight speed of up to kilometers per hour.

The current maximum speed of the country's most advanced Hawker III fighter jet is only 360 kilometers per hour.

Especially under full load, this speed will be reduced to less than 200 km/h.

In addition to taking care of other old aircraft in the bombing formation, the flying speed of the Chinese Air Force's bombing formation is only 150 kilometers per hour.

The location of the Japanese aircraft carrier formation is more than 700 kilometers away from the Sasebo military base and more than 300 kilometers away from Kebashi Airport.

The above is background data.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the Chinese Air Force's bombing formation departed from Jianqiao Airport and the Japanese Kisarazu Air Force's "Avenge" formation departed from Sasebo Naval Airport. They took off almost at the same time and flew towards the same target location.

According to Mao Bangchu's plan, the Chinese Air Force's bombing formation will arrive over the Japanese aircraft carrier formation at noon, when the sun shines most strongly in the sky, to launch an attack.

At this time, the role that the Japanese aircraft carrier's limited anti-aircraft firepower can play will be suppressed to a minimum.

After all, few people can look directly at the sun continuously.

It can be said that Mao Bangchu's combat plan is still very reasonable.

However, until 11:50 noon, Mao Bangchu was shocked by the information coming from the frontline pilots who had been monitoring the Japanese aircraft carrier formation reconnaissance aircraft.

Relying on the advantages of aircraft performance, more than twenty Type 96 fighter jets of the Kisarazu Air Force arrived one step ahead of the Chinese Air Force's bombing formation and arrived in the airspace where the aircraft carrier formation was located.

This unexpected situation made Mao Bangchu secretly glad that he listened to Lu Feng's advice.

If it weren't for the ten minutes of delay, the Chinese Air Force's bombing formation would probably have encountered this Japanese fighter formation during the bombing process.

By then, our own aircraft formation that has lost the initiative in air combat will repeat the mistakes of the previous Japanese aircraft formation.

Sure enough, you can never underestimate your opponent at any time.
