Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 313: Bishan Air Combat (4)

With the expansion of the scale of Japanese aggression, the battle for air supremacy between China and Japan has become increasingly fierce. Both sides have accumulated valuable experience in the **** aerial strangulation, and trained a large number of excellent commanders and pilot. ←,. But then the problem appeared, the price of this kind of growth was expensive, and the Chinese Air Force, which lacked stamina support, quickly exposed its shortcomings.

Years of warlords' melee has led to the slow development of China's basic industries, which has fallen far behind Japan's neighbor in the East. In China, where the foundation of the aviation industry is extremely weak, the Chinese Air Force is actually a rootless tree, and the losses incurred in the war cannot be compensated by its own industrial strength.

At this time, the Chinese Air Force can be said to be an air force bought with money. All fighter jets are foreign products purchased at a high price. The Air Force has become a big fat meat in the eyes of some families. They don't care about what they buy. What is it, whether the performance is excellent, they only pay attention to the sale of this weapon import, and how much rebate can be obtained from it.

At that time, several domestic aircraft manufacturers in China, due to their weak technology and outdated production equipment, could only manufacture light civil aircrafts with outdated performance and outdated designs. Even if they were used to spread pesticides, it might be a bit difficult, not to mention. Armed up to join the battle. At this time, China actually has a lot of outstanding aerospace science and technology personnel with Western education, but because of the lack of financial support from superiors for technology research and development projects, aeronautical engineers eventually became ordinary mechanics. During that time, I don’t know how many were upset. The diligent technical talents eventually became waste wood under the influence of officialdom.

Someone might say that it was recorded in the documents of XX that back then that China’s engines and airplanes could be built by itself. Yes, you are not afraid of the 80-horsepower engine, and the airplane with the speed of 280 kilometers per hour... Anyway, the Japanese I will never be afraid. As for putting together a bunch of imported engines and parts to make an airplane and shouting that the imitation is successful, this should be called whether the assembly is good or not. Even the steel pipes of the skeleton are imported from abroad. The outer layer of cloth.

The aircraft repair shop of the army messed up the most basic task of processing some parts by itself for maintenance. After the randomly purchased spare parts were used up, the new parts did not know where they were. In the end, the eastern wall had to be demolished to make up for the western wall to ensure that the combat-ready aircraft could fly into the sky. As a result, intact planes have been dismantled less and less, and aircraft waiting to be repaired are full of tarmacs and warehouses.

As the war situation worsened, the losses of the Chinese Air Force's fighter jets became more and more serious. On the other hand, Japan's opponent can continuously obtain supplementary aircraft and personnel from the country. Not only that, but the Japanese army has also developed new models based on battlefield experience. The Japanese air force on the Chinese battlefield quickly gained an absolute advantage in terms of scale and equipment.

The training mechanism of Chinese pilots is not complete, the training conditions of the trainees are simple, and the battle situation is critical. The early experienced pilots gradually lost their lives. The four famous Chinese air force's four heavenly kings successively died in sorrow, and many completed in hastily. The novice pilots trained in the formation flew to the sky with only a **** courage, and then became a Japanese veteran's record, and at the same time lost a valuable aircraft. However, the war will not wait for people, the more the lack of manpower, the more eager to send newcomers up, thus forming a vicious circle. In the end, his vitality was completely hurt.

Although the Chinese government once acquired a batch of aircraft from the Soviet Union, the performance may not be among the best in the world, but it can also be on par with the Japanese military models at that time. However, these supplements are only a drop in the price compared to the losses in the previous stage. At the same time, the quality of the pilots is far less than when the war started. The quality of the combat personnel is uneven, and the military discipline is gradually deteriorating. Although morale is still high, the upper class people. It can be seen clearly that the overall decline is undoubtedly revealed, and the Air Force has basically lost the ability to regain air superiority in the enemy's occupation from the Japanese.

The Chinese Air Force can only change its strategy in desperation. From the beginning, mutual offensive and defensive has turned to defense on the ground. At the same time, in order to preserve the strength, the senior government also issued strict orders, requiring pilots to avoid the enemy as passively as possible in the air. Unless it is determined that one has the advantage in quantity and quality, fighters are not allowed to launch attacks at will.

Since then, the fighter group stationed in Chongqing, in most cases, can only choose to organize troops to launch a pursuit when the Japanese bombing is over and returning home, because if it is a frontal interception of bombers coming to drop bombs, the morale of the Japanese soldiers can be seen. At the peak. All of them are full of chicken blood. At this time, the Japanese can do anything to complete the tasks assigned by their superiors. Once the Japanese army resists tenaciously, the Chinese Air Force will definitely lose. And the Chinese Air Force is now. I can't afford it all.

But if you switch to the Japanese army and return home after the bombing, the situation is very different. At this time, the fuel left in the Japanese aircraft is not much, the adrenaline in the blood vessels is gradually dissipated, and the fatigue after the physical exhaustion of the long-distance flight is also It began to appear, and because the task has been completed, the psychological basis for fighting the Chinese no longer exists. And a very important point, the Japanese aircraft is in the retreat position, the Chinese Air Force can directly seize the six o'clock position of the Japanese aircraft, surprise attacks are very convenient. If the Japanese army wants to turn around and resist, if the two sides get into a fight, get injured, or consume too much fuel, they may not be able to fly back. Most areas on the bombing route are still under Chinese control. Once the plane crashes After parachuting, the crew members were caught alive if they were lucky, and if they were not lucky, they had to be taken alive. The psychological pressure on Japanese pilots was not ordinary.

This eventually led to the bombing of the Japanese air force in Chongqing. Whether it was an army or a HNA bomber, when they encountered a rear-end collision with the Chinese Air Force, they were basically unwilling to counterattack in groups or mobile fights when they returned. Open the formation and bury your head and escape. At this time, if you encounter an unlucky person with an engine problem, you will soon be surrounded and beaten into dregs. Most of the Chinese Air Force's record at the time came from this.

Leading the Zero Fighter Group at high altitude and flying with the 96th Land Attack Brigade for less than ten minutes, Shinto knew that the superior plan had been successful, and a huge fighter appeared on the side of the bomber group. The cluster, at a height slightly below zero combat, launched a charge toward the bomber cluster.

"Zhe Xi, finally came out." Jinteng was finally relieved when he saw the Chinese fleet appeared. According to the original plan, he swayed the wings three times, and then led three teams including him with a total of ten zero battles plus full horsepower towards the direction of the Chinese fleet, and the remaining team stayed high in the sky. Their task is to act as a guard and intercept enemy planes that slip through the net and escape. This is also the experience the Japanese army has learned from the previous battle.

The battle on September 13 was actually an outbreak after a long time of suppression by the Chinese Air Force. It originally wanted to re-establish the confidence of the people in the war of resistance. Unexpectedly, he hit a new aircraft developed by the Japanese army. Even if the Japanese pilots are all rookies, they are also rookies who have undergone rigorous training. At the same time, they are driving the egg battle that completely crushes Chinese fighters in performance. In the end, this battle resulted in more than a dozen Chinese aerial athletes. There are many elite pilots who have been fighting on the front line since the beginning of the war.

The result of this battle has had a great impact on the Chinese leaders. Especially the extremely good-looking chairman, he regarded this as a humiliation to the country and his individual. For this reason, the senior air force was severely reprimanded by him. Such a big man would not consider any performance differences in the fire. The loss was regarded as proof of the incompetence of the Air Force.

The air force actually took a sigh of relief in my heart. The battle was a melee from beginning to end. In their opinion, the performance of Japanese fighters was excellent, but they were not invulnerable. At that time, the Chinese Air Force's aircraft group was raided, and the various aircraft groups were not under mutual control, leading to chaos in command coordination. As a result, continuous support was turned into a refueling tactic. The Japanese aircraft always held the initiative on the battlefield, while the Chinese Air Force pilots broke into the battlefield batch after batch without knowing anything about the battlefield. The enemy army that had a performance advantage was defeated.

Looking back at the battle now, the number of Japanese fighter jets is actually far less than that of the Chinese Air Force, and from previous witness intelligence analysis, so far this new type of aircraft has never exceeded the number of the day when it appeared. It shows that the Japanese army There are only a small number of this latest model in hand. The supreme leader believes that if the Air Force can organize a sufficient number of aircraft. A targeted siege of this kind of Japanese aircraft, as long as you make good use of the excellent air maneuverability of the aircraft in hand, you will surely be able to give the Japanese an unforgettable lesson.

The leader's order must be obeyed, so when the early warning report of the Japanese bomber group came this time. The Air Force has once again assembled the remaining forty fighter jets at Taiping Temple in Chongqing. However, the commanders of the Air Force were not very optimistic about Shangfeng’s plan. They had learned about the performance of the enemy aircraft from the survivors of the battle. The result was very frustrating. The Japanese had made such an advanced one. Aircraft, but I still use the model I designed ten years ago. The difference in performance between the two parties can no longer be compensated by flying technology.

However, when they learned of the Japanese bomber group's attack, the pilots still eagerly invited their superiors to fight, and the early warning report did not find any trace of the enemy's cutting-edge fighters. They estimated that they could at least take down this group of Jiuliulu, which is not afraid of death Attack, used to pay tribute to the heroic spirits who died before. So the last batch of the three elite fighter groups of the Chinese Air Force came out on the same day. What they did not expect was that this was a trap set by the Japanese army against the Chinese Air Force. The original hunters had already become prey. When they rushed toward the Japanese bomber, they didn't know that their target was high above their heads, and they launched a raid towards themselves.

A fierce aerial melee broke out. The Zero Fighter once again proved with facts that in the face of this type of fighter that far surpassed its own performance, the Chinese Air Force did not have the slightest chance at all. In just two minutes, the formation of the Chinese fleet was alive and dismembered. The team completely lost command, the leader could not find the wingman, and the superiors could not find the team. The pilots had to fight blindly by instinct, and the air was full of burning and falling aircraft wreckage. The Zero Battle team climbed and flipped lightly on the battlefield, as if performing an elegant flight show. The machine guns and machine guns spewed a ray of flame from time to time, and then a Chinese aircraft fell in desperate flames.

Just when Shindo led his subordinates to hunt down Chinese fighters~IndoMTL.com~The Takatsuka team staying at high altitude was already a little impatient, watching colleagues create the next record after another. They can only watch from one side, which is really a torment like punishment.

Gao Tsukayin, one by one, kept turning around with two wingmen, his eyes fixed on the battlefield below, hoping to find a few Chinese fighters that escaped, so that he could open up. Just as Takatsuka was struggling to endure his heart and lungs, suddenly the landline of his wingman, Sanshangyixi, second-class Kongcao appeared on his side, and he was immediately taken aback. Takatsuka looked at the wingman with a dissatisfaction face, but found that the other party was desperately gesturing to him, constantly pointing his finger in the direction diagonally above him.

"Nangda coolie." Takatsuka looked suspiciously along the direction of the wingman's fingers. I saw several slow-moving black spots appearing in the west at the same altitude, and there were no other Japanese planes in the vicinity, so the identity of these planes undoubtedly belonged to the Chinese Air Force.

"Zhexi, it seems to be a reinforcement of the China Air Force!" Takatsuka was immediately happy, he gave the wingman a thumbs up, and then made a gesture to act with him.

Takatsuka's Zero Fighter turned its nose lightly, leading his two wingmen to charge against these unexpected visitors. (To be continued.)
