Glorious Mission 1937

Chapter 381: The Fall of the Yamato Condor

"boom"

With a loud bang, under the horrified eyes of Colonel Honda, an Imperial-made Zero fighter disintegrated in the air, and the pilot didn't even have a chance to escape by parachuting.

At a glance just now, Chief Honda vaguely saw the word "16" on the fuselage of the disintegrated fighter.As the commander of the Yamato Condor Air Force, Honda Osamu is very familiar with the numbers and pilots of all fighters in the entire air force. Fighter No. 16 is the command plane of the Second Squadron, and its owner is Major Shinto Saburo.

Shinto Shao Zuoyu was broken, Honda Dazuo couldn't believe his eyes, how could this be possible.You must know that Major Shinto is one of the best pilots in the empire. He piloted Type 21, Type 22 warships and Type Zero fighters to participate in 4 air battles and shot down [-] Chinese fighter jets.Yesterday alone he shot down [-] China fighter jets, only one less than himself.

However, this was just the beginning, and there were several loud bangs, and several fighter planes beside Mr. Honda exploded at the same time. The pilot also had no chance of escape, and was blown to pieces along with the fighter planes! [

Suddenly, Colonel Honda felt a palpitation. Having participated in many air battles, he had no time to think about it, so he hurriedly pulled the fighter plane down, and then made a quick turn.After the palpitations disappeared, Colonel Honda found out that the wingman following him was injured at some point, and the left wing was directly knocked off. After that, it seemed unwilling to let it fall like this.

Da Zuo hurriedly turned around, pointed the muzzle of the fighter plane at the China fighter plane numbered 03, and suddenly pressed the shooting button on his right hand.

"Da da da"

The 20mm cannon poured violently at the China fighter plane.The corner of Honda Chief's mouth raised. With the power of the Zero fighter's 20mm cannon, no fighter could dodge it at such a short distance, and neither could God.

However, the upturned corners of Chief Honda's mouth could only be raised to 30 degrees, and then directly turned into an "o" shape, and the horror was beyond words.It's unbelievable that the China fighters dodged it, how did they do it.

Ma Yun was very angry. He was almost attacked by a reptile just now in order to chase down an injured Japanese plane.Fortunately, the J-6 fighter he was driving was fast enough.Otherwise, he would really be a roast chicken now, and the most important thing is that he almost became the first new fighter plane to be shot down, and he couldn't afford to lose this person.

Ma Yun, who was burning with anger, immediately accelerated and quickly got rid of the nasty Japanese fighter plane.Then turn the fuselage quickly.Lock the Japanese fighter plane numbered 04.Press the shooting button with your right hand, and two 37mm cannons quickly rushed towards the Japanese fighter plane.

But what made Ma Yun depressed was that the Japanese fighter plane escaped by luck.I have to say that the Japanese pilot is really good, and he was able to escape in such a situation. In terms of combat skills alone, he is indeed not as good as that Japanese pilot.But Ma Yun was not discouraged. He knew how powerful the car under him was. If the Japanese pilot could escape once, he did not believe that he could escape the second or third time!

They have listened to the commander's explanation about the new type of fighter jets of the Japanese army. Compared with the combat aircraft currently in service in other countries, they are indeed very powerful.Its appearance can be said to be a milestone in Japanese aircraft design. It has achieved many firsts, such as the first use of fully enclosed retractable landing gear, electric heating flight suits, cannons, constant speed propellers, super duralumin load-bearing structures, Large-view cockpit and disposable large auxiliary fuel tank and other equipment.

The Zero fighter uses a 950-horsepower Sakae Nakajima 12-star air-cooled engine, with a speed of 533 kilometers per hour, a ceiling of 1 meters, and a maximum range of 3000 kilometers. The overall performance of this fighter is much higher than that of The Iraqi series fighters of the Soviet Union are also higher than the F-2 Buffalo, F-4F Wildcat, P-40 Tomahawk and other aircraft currently in service in the US Air Force.

According to the commander, the Japanese Zero fighter looks powerful, but it is actually a scum.Except for the climbing rate and turning radius, other performances are not worth mentioning at all, and there are many problems, so it can take advantage of it when fighting at low altitudes.But if it is at high altitude, the excellent vertical maneuverability of the Zero Type begins to deteriorate, because the aileron movement appears sluggish and the response slows down.In addition, because the Nakajima Sakae 12-star air-cooled engine adopted by the Zero adopts the design of a floating carburetor, it is easy to cause the engine to stall during a high-speed dive, so the dive speed of the Zero is not fast. If the Zero bites the tail in battle, Immediately dives and rolls at high speed, and usually gets away.In addition, the Type Zero does not have any armor to protect the pilot and the fuel tank, and the fuel tank has no self-sealing device or fire extinguishing equipment. It is easy to be hit and catch fire. It is simply an "air lighter".

Therefore, the new fighter jets of the Japanese army can also be compared with the fighter jets currently in service in the United States and the Soviet Union. Go out more than a few streets.

Not to mention the J-6 with superior performance, let’s take the J-5 as an example. This fighter is a completely different jet from the Zero Fighter. The J-5 fighter uses a single-seat, single-engine, nose intake, and swept-back center wing layout.It adopts a turbojet-5 centrifugal afterburning turbojet engine with a static force of 2600 kg and an afterburning force of 3380 kg.The maximum level flight speed reaches 1145kmh, even the cruising speed can reach 800kmh, the service ceiling is 16000m, the flight range is 1560km (with auxiliary fuel tank) 1020km (without auxiliary fuel tank), and the endurance time is 2 hours and 50 minutes.

In contrast, the maximum level flight speed of the Japanese Zero fighter jet is only 518 kilometers, and the cruising speed is only 300 kilometers. The ceiling that the Japanese army is proud of is only a mere 10000 meters. An ambush was set up over the garden, and the J-16 team at an altitude of 5 meters was simply not what the Japanese Air Force at an altitude of 1 meters could find.The Japanese Zero War can also be compared with the J-5 in terms of range.

The internal structure of the other two fighters is also not comparable. The airborne equipment of the J-5 fighter includes an ultrashort wave command radio, a radio compass, a radio altimeter, a beacon receiver, an IFF device, a tail guard, and a range finder.The wing is a swept-back single wing, and the deflection angle range of the aileron is ±18 degrees.

日军的零式战斗机可就差远了,就拿战斗机最重要的火力系统来说,零式战斗机只有20mm机炮2门,77mm机枪2门,60公斤炸2颗。而歼5战斗机呢,不但机头左侧下方装两门23-1型23毫米机炮,机头右侧下方装一门31型37毫米机炮。23-1机炮初速680米秒,射速800发分,火力根本就不是零式战斗机能比的。

This is just the J-5. Compared with the J-5, the J-6 is even more powerful.The J-5 is just a subsonic aircraft, while the J-6 is a supersonic aircraft. The super speed of 1500 kilometers per hour is enough to eclipse any fighter in the world today, so it is not a piece of cake to deal with the Japanese Zero fighter.

This is not a war, but a one-sided massacre. In the face of a nearly 20-year difference in technological level, the resistance of the Japanese army seemed pale and weak. In the next hour, the Japanese really saw the combat effectiveness of the Northern Air Force. With a fatal effect, Chen Feng dispatched two-thirds of the new fighter jets in his hands, that is a total of more than 290 fighter jets.

Less than 15 minutes into the battle, Chief Honda realized that something was wrong. The two sides were not rivals on the same level at all, so he decisively gave the order to retreat. However, in front of subsonic and supersonic fighters, the speed of the Japanese army was only 600 Kilometer's junk doesn't even have a chance to escape. [

An hour later, more than 400 of the nearly 320 fighter planes attacked by the Japanese army were shot down, 36 were damaged, and less than 30 of them fled back to Beiping and Baoding airports intact. She didn't escape back either.Although the performance of Zero fighter jets far exceeds that of Type 40 and Type 88, who made them too arrogant, so all Chinese pilots in this battle gave priority to taking care of them, so less than [-] minutes into the battle, [-] Type Zero fighters All the fighter jets were shot down, and all the Japanese flying elites, including Osa Honda, were killed and survived.The Yamato Condor Squadron, which the Japanese army was proud of, was wiped out and fell in the sky above the lower garden!

The fighter planes of the Japanese army going northward were almost wiped out, but Chen Feng did not stop there. With a swipe of a pen, all the fighter planes in Xinghe, Zhangjiakou, Datong and other airports, no matter old or new, took off and went to the front line and the port airports in Pingjin area. Retaliatory bombing.

Today is the day of the Air Force. On this day, the Northern Air Force took off 3000 fighter planes, consumed more than 2 tons of medicines, and more than 5000 tons of fuel. Of course, the results are quite brilliant, not to mention the bombed Tianjin Port and Beiping Nanyuan Airport, Baoding Airport, Shimen Airport, etc., with the cooperation of the air force, the army on the front line of Xiahuayuan captured Xiahuayuan with an absolutely crushing posture, and the army on the competition side also wiped out all the remaining enemies in the city. The two armies rushed towards Peiping at the same time.

The battle in the direction of Xinkou is also progressing smoothly. Jingle and Xinkou's originally strong line of defense was crumbling, and several fatal flaws appeared between them, creating conditions for the next battle.

The battle in the direction of Chengde was also good. When the 61st Army launched an offensive, the Eighth Route Army guerrillas in East Jidong and the troops left behind in East Jidong in the Eighth Theater took the opportunity to riot. In just a few days, the Japanese and puppet troops in East Jidong were driven out. After entering the county seat and important strongholds, they dare not go out to fight at all. As long as the 61st Army can capture Chengde, then the entire Rehe East Jidong can definitely be recovered in a very short period of time. (to be continued...)
