Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated Chapter 269

Chapter 269 Turkey Hunting in Mountain City!

The battle is still going on. Looking at the Zero fighter jets fighting in the front airspace against ground anti-aircraft firepower, the soldiers of the First Air Division clenched their fists involuntarily.

Before leaving, Captain Wang Hai and other six combat heroes used actual combat examples to explain the characteristics and weaknesses of Zero War. The case they used was the famous Bishan air battle at home and abroad.

That battle loss ratio of 0:13 deeply hurt the heart of every soldier.

“Captain, we hurry up and we're still late.”

“Hurry up and join the battle, the friendly forces will not last long.”

“I'll leave those escorting Zero fighter jets to you. I will lead the Hurricane formation to intercept the Nine-Liu Land Attack. We must not let them step into the city.”

Logically speaking, the First Air Division set out very early and should not be late.

However, limited by the diversion range of the Spitfire and Hurricane fighter jets, the soldiers could only fly fighter planes carrying auxiliary fuel tanks to **** the air train transport aircraft loaded with fuel in the Hubei-Henan border area.

Fortunately, after two years of development, the border area's sphere of influence has expanded to 19 counties, and it has 15,000 regular troops and 100,000 militiamen.

With the joint efforts of comrades, several barely usable field runways were successfully constructed before the arrival of the 1st Air Division.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of skilled ground crews and unfamiliarity with the route, the soldiers were delayed for half an hour on the road. Had it not been for the Zhihang brigade to attract firepower, the consequences would have been truly disastrous.

After hearing what Fang Ziyi said, Captain Wang Hai nodded silently.

The opponent is now the leader of the younger generation of the 1st Air Division. He also has experience in leading a team to attack the 1997 Heavy Explosion in the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. There is nothing wrong with entrusting him with the interception task.

After a moment, the captain ordered on the communication band:

"Okay! You take the 2nd Air Force Regiment and the 3rd Air Force Regiment to intercept the bombers. I will take the 1st Air Force Regiment to kill the Zero fighters and rescue the friendly forces by the way."

"Attention, all formations of the Air Regiment, I stress it again! During the battle, fighting with the Zero War Dogs is absolutely not allowed. The best way to fight them is to lift them to a high altitude and then dive."

“Regardless of whether it hits or not, you must return to altitude after one round of attack. It is strictly forbidden to hit the enemy on a flat surface at low altitude and low speed.”

"receive!"

Early zero combat did not consider the high-altitude and high-speed combat environment when designing.

After all, it was a naval carrier-based aircraft. Judging from the data of torpedo planes and dive bombers at the time, it was simply impossible to launch an attack from an altitude of more than 8,000 meters.

It's like the British aircraft carrier. In 1941, there were no Barracudas available. The majestic Royal Navy is still trying to reach its limit with the Swordfish, the King of Broken Legs, which is only three thousand meters high.

At this stage, most of the air battles on the sea take place at the height of cutting waves. It is meaningless to emphasize high-altitude and high-speed performance.

Since the enemy has obvious shortcomings, we should take away his crutch and kick the lame man's remaining good leg.

Fighting with Zero Fighter at low altitude and low speed is tantamount to suicide. Back then, the Australian Air Force used late-model Spitfires to fight in dogfights, but they were still beaten to the point of losing their armor.

But it is different at high speeds. Once the speed exceeds 350Km/h, the maneuverability and sensitivity of the Zero War will drop sharply, and even ordinary rolling maneuvers will be difficult.

In addition, the engine of the Zero fighter, like the early fire-breathing Merlin, both use floating carburetors, which makes it possible for the engine to stall when making large maneuvers.

At that time, the Japanese navy and naval aviation were still stuck in the era of dogfights with their circling radius. The First Air Division had already been one version ahead, introducing the theory of energy-mobile air combat.

B&Z's use of the Zero fighter is the best answer to its shortcomings, and it is also the beginning of the Japanese Kamikaze.

Mountain city, northern airspace.

A Zero fighter was biting the I-16 in front of it. No matter whether the opponent used vertical or horizontal maneuvers, it could not escape the fate of being bitten at six o'clock.

The disadvantages in speed, climb and acceleration make it impossible for the I-16 to escape through straight-line acceleration or rapid climb.

Although we always say that the Zero fighter has poor power, compared with the Soviet-made fighter jets that are a generation behind, it is definitely more than enough to fool the enemy.

What's more, it's a low-altitude dog fight now, which is the absolute comfort zone of zero combat.

“Yamaguchi-kun, end the battle quickly.”

“The Jiuliu Land Attack in the rear sent a signal for help, and a few Little Rats sneaked into their formation.”

“We must quickly return reinforcements to ensure the safety of the attack aircraft.”

　　The sound in the communication channel made Yamaguchi Shinichi frown. He hated being disturbed during hunting.

However, the orders from superiors still have to be carried out, not to mention that the squadron's mission this time is to **** the 96th Land Attack that bombed the mountain city.

With no choice but to end the cat and mouse game.

"receive!"

After deciding on the idea of solving the battle quickly, Yamaguchi Shinichi pressed the firing button of the machine gun without hesitation.

Compared to the 20mm machine gun, which has poor stability and accuracy, he prefers to use the 7.7mm aircraft machine gun inherited from the Showa era. After all, the enemy's I-16's protection level is also very average, and the power of the small water pipe is enough to handle everything.

As the two machine guns on the nose of the aircraft flashed, a series of bullets were thrown towards the fighter plane ahead.

After confirming that the enemy had completely lost the ability to resist, Yamaguchi Shinichi whistled frivolously. Immediately afterwards, it turned sideways and changed its course, preparing to return support and kill the little mouse behind.

But at this moment, the superior's exclamation came from the originally quiet communication channel. "Yamaguchi-kun! Several fighter jets appear in the sky above and to your left, all of which are models I have never seen before!"

“The identification mark under the opponent's wing is a red star. Based on the available intelligence, it is judged that the opponent should be the 1st Air Division of the Eighth Route Army.”

“They are diving rapidly! The speed is definitely much higher than the previous opponents!”

The tone of the superior sounded very anxious, but Shinichi Yamaguchi, who had just shot down an I-16, was a little unconcerned.

In his view, there were no more **** pilots in the Republic of China after the Bishan air battle. Even the group that just fought against each other was most likely forced to fight by their superiors.

And based on the performance of the Zero fighter, he is confident in dealing with enemies several times his own size.

With disdain and curiosity, Yamaguchi Shinichi picked up the telescope at hand and looked up into the sky. I saw an unknown fighter plane numbered 079, diving rapidly from an altitude of six thousand meters.

“079? This should be the ace card of the North China Eighth Route Army, right? I didn't expect that their fighter jets have such an exaggerated range and can actually fly from Shanxi.”

"You dare to join the battlefield at this time. I really don't know if you are brave or ignorant."

“You are such a ignorant Chinese. If you want to die, I will help you!”

Although the enemy is 079, which has recently become famous, Yamaguchi Shinichi was not intimidated by the opponent's fame.

Lunar Airlines are just a bunch of useless trash, and their defeat has nothing to do with Hainan Airlines. Those Type 97 fighter jets, like the Type 96 ship battle, are all outdated antiques.

Defeating the North China Front's Third Air Force Group is not a big deal, and their Eleventh Air Fleet can also replicate it perfectly.

Thinking of this, Yamaguchi raised the nose of the plane to fight the unfamiliar fighter plane that was swooping down.

　　After seeing the enemy appear, the remaining Zero fighters originally wanted to raise their altitude to remain on alert to prevent other fighter jets from appearing around them.

But they soon discovered that the attacking enemy was not one at all, but a total of sixty-four.

Suddenly, the entire communication channel exploded. With such a number of fighter jets, even the lagging I-15s and 16s can pose fatal danger to them.

“Attention all crews! Attention all crews! There are a large number of enemy aircraft approaching from the north.”

“Stay in formation! Don't let the enemy disrupt our own rhythm! Don't fight the enemy at high altitude!”

It is clear that in the face of unknown performance and reputation, most HNA devils can still be rational.

As soon as he finished speaking, 079 launched an attack during the dive.

Bursts of fire erupted from its wings, and a long line of fire consisting of six bullets and cannons slammed **** Yamaguchi Shinichi's car.

“Boom!”

A Zero fighter that voluntarily gave up its advantage and launched a head-on challenge to the swooping Spitfire had only a dead end.

After the violent explosion, Zero War was like a solid burning object ignited by a flamethrower, exploding into a colorful fireball in the sky above the mountain city.

After taking down an enemy plane in an understatement, Captain Wang Hai drove the Spitfire to convert altitude into speed. After passing through the enemy's wreckage, he used zoom climbing to convert speed into altitude advantage.

After seeing his best team member being killed, Major Yusuke Hashiguchi's eyes suddenly turned red.

It has been four years since the Republic of China, and their air fleet has never suffered such a big loss. The way the opponent gets out of the fight as soon as he succeeds is like a slap in the face.

Whether it is the China Aid Flying Team or the Preserved Fruit Air Force, there is no such arrogant enemy.

“Baga! It's really too fast!”

“Why are the Eighth Route Army's fighter jets so advanced! I don't believe it!”

HNA's inexplicable sense of honor made Hashiguchi Yusuke temporarily lose his mind. Looking at the unfamiliar fighter plane that was climbing and about to leave the battlefield, he actually chased it in the Zero.

Such an abnormal behavior successfully attracted the attention of Captain Wang Hai. Looking back at the green-painted Zero, a smile appeared on his lips.

“Are you crazy? You dare to catch up.”

“It seems that the stupid little devil has completely lost his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have chased me at the risk of the plane falling apart.”

After shaking his head, the captain continued to push the oil and pull it up.

If the 079 is a Spitfire MK1, its climb rate is really not as good as the Zero fighter. But the MK9 is already a product that has been updated and upgraded many times, so it is naturally easy to bully an early Zero Fighter.

When the two reached an altitude of 6,000 meters, Zero War's performance was very poor and it stalled directly at high altitude.

Facing the Japs who had no ability to fight back, Captain Wang Hai naturally took the head without ceremony and added another solid red star to his fuselage.

And there was also a gorgeous fireball in the sky above the mountain city.
