Chapter 1168: Waiting while staring!
This is an ultrlow-altitude chase battle. The airspace where the fighter jets roar through is only more than 400 meters above the ground at its lowest point.
The fierce air flow passing by the plane can even knock down trees as thick as calves on the ground!
Sitting in the cockpit of the aircraft and looking down, not to mention the mountains and rocks on the ground are clearly visible, and even the faces of the Chinese and Japanese soldiers who can't help but look up at the smoke-filled positions can be clearly seen.
The three fighter planes all used their engine power to the extreme. In less than 3 minutes, the three fighters in the chase mode had already run for more than 20 kilometers. They chased them from the Fululing battlefield to Niangziguan, then turned around in a big circle to kill again. Return to the airspace of Fululing.
From the perspective of the sky, you can clearly see that the faces of the pilots on both sides in the cockpit are as cold as iron.
Tetsuzo Iwamoto, who has a face full of frost, is not only at a disadvantage because of his current position, being chased and locked by the Chinese fighter planes at the rear, but what is even worse is that the 96 Land Attack under him has reached the limit of its aeroengine and has even started to Violently shaking and trembling, the 96 Land Attack, which had a maximum speed of 450 kilometers per hour, was rushed by him at a speed of nearly 480 kilometers per hour. As long as one more minute passed, the Chinese machine guns would not need to smash him into pieces, and his plane would disintegrate on its own.
According to common sense, what he should do most now is not to continue to be chased by the Chinese planes at low altitude, but to quickly pull up the nose of the plane, slow down at a suitable altitude, and hit the machine gun of the Chinese plane. He climbed out of the cockpit and parachuted out before the bullets hit his plane.
No matter where the parachute landed, his chance of survival was more than 80%. A living captured Japanese pilot was naturally far more useful to the Chinese than a corpse.
But, can he escape? In other words, is he still qualified to escape?
Before the pursuit battle, he led two and a half squadrons of 32 fighter planes to reach an altitude of 3,000 meters. He originally thought that even if he could not win, he could at least win back a victory for the entire fleet. expect.
But the fact is that at an altitude of 3,000 meters, he only tied with a Chinese fighter formation that was smaller than his own. Then, with the reinforcement of 8 Chinese fighter jets at low altitude, 32 fighter jets were defeated!
Except for his 4-star ace fighter, only 6 survived to this time period, but this is not the final result, because there are at least 10 Chinese fighters chasing them, and it remains to be seen whether they can return to the Imperial Airport alive. uncertain!
What about their rival Chinese fighter jets? Except for the few shot down at the beginning, the results in the later stages of the battlefield were simply embarrassing and humiliating.
The Chinese achieved a record of 13 to 1. The only Chinese fighter plane that was shot down was his ace pilot who injured it first. In the end, due to damage to its engine, it stalled and was killed by Suzuki Xiao, who was shouting "Long Live the Empire". Second Lieutenant Xiong crashed the plane down with all its bullets empty.
Thinking of the little fanboy who came from Kobe like him, sadness flashed in Tetsuzo Iwamoto's eyes. If it weren't for this battle, that Air Force second lieutenant who had only flown for 600 hours would have had the chance to become the second him. On the tail fin of the plane There is a chance to have several gold stars painted on it.
But with that loud noise at an altitude of 2,000 meters, the extremely talented Japanese Army Air Force pilots only achieved the record of shooting down one fighter plane, and had no chance to paint their tails with gold stars.
'This is all caused by the **** Chinese! ' Tetsuzo Iwamoto, who watched his colleagues die heroically in battle, blamed all of this on the opponent who was on the stronger side.
But what is more difficult for the Japanese ace pilot to accept than the grief is the shame, a shame that is so strong that it is as if it is actually applied to the face!
With such a disadvantage, he, an ace pilot, did not escape. He led the remaining ten fighter planes to fight with the Chinese on the battlefield, trying to change the humiliating outcome with death determination, but what he gained was even more humiliation.
After the chase, in just a few minutes, the radio phone continued to hear the farewells of our own pilots before their death or before parachuting, from one to two, then to three or four, until the phone was silent and no more. Despite the voice of his companions, the Japanese Army Aviation Lieutenant still did not receive a report of a destroyed enemy aircraft.
Including himself, there is no one, and he is still lingering under the pursuit of the Chinese.
Until now, no one can accurately calculate the battle damage ratio, but it is conceivable that the battle damage ratio is definitely more than 3 times!
Such a ratio, for people like Tetsuzo Iwamoto, who considers himself an ace in air combat, living is even more painful than death.
His original love affair with the army colonel's daughter has become a joke in the navy. He is about to become a shame in the army. In the void passing at high speed in front of him, he can even see his beloved woman being pointed at. The look of him lowering his head in mockery and saying nothing with tears in his eyes!
Death is scary, but everyone has someone they love deeply! That's bigger than life.
Tetsuzo Iwamoto, whose face became increasingly grim, showed a trace of madness. He continued to lower the nose of the plane and continued to step on the accelerator to increase the afterburner, regardless of the fact that the aircraft engine was shaking more and more violently, and even a faint white smoke began to emit.
“You bastard, are you crazy?” Chen Ping's horrified voice sounded on the radio.
He and the instructor clung to the Japanese ace fighter plane, and naturally there was a reason. If this fighter plane hadn't damaged Shen Chonghai's fighter plane, how could Shen Chonghai be chased by a crazy Japanese plane and eventually be hit? Up?
Fortunately, under Huang Xinrui's strict orders, Shen Chonghai parachuted out at the moment when the Japanese plane pounced fiercely. Otherwise, the plane would have been destroyed and everyone would have died!
But this is a battlefield. No one knows whether the parachute will fall towards our own position or the Japanese position. Shen Chonghai's life or death is still uncertain!
You said, seeing that there is more than a 70% chance that his most proud student will not have the chance to use his talent and die here, as an instructor, Huang Xinrui and his best friend Chen Ping, can they let go of the instigator in front of them?
impossible, absolutely impossible! This is what the young air force second lieutenant silently swore in his heart!
However, after a high-speed chase, Chen Ping still couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw the Japanese plane racing at an overloaded speed of 500 kilometers per hour!
The design speed of the 96 land attack aircraft is 440 kilometers per hour. As a result, the rated power is now exceeded by up to 15%. In this state, there is almost no need to be hit by bullets. In just one minute, the fighter will be able to disintegrate in the air. No Madman, how could he do this?
"Aping, be careful, this guy is tenacious and cunning! He must have figured out that we are low on fuel!" Huang Xinrui reminded his wingman in a low and cold voice.
Yes, the 1,000-horsepower engine of the Yi-153 has just reached the rated maximum load at this time, which is much stronger than the 96 fighter. However, the fuel of the fighter that has traveled more than 600 kilometers cannot be compared with that of the Japanese aircraft that only flew from more than 200 kilometers away. Compared with the machine.
If he cannot shoot down the cunning and tenacious enemy plane in his sight within 30 seconds, his fuel will drop to a terrible level, and he will never be sure to fly back to Zhengcheng Airport, 400 kilometers away.
As the top commander leading this fighter formation, the Chinese Air Force Major is not afraid of death, but he is even more unwilling to abandon the fighter planes. The price of the fighter planes is secondary. The most important thing is that the Japanese have blocked the coastal transportation channels. The entire China now no longer has shipping services imported from abroad and shipped back to China.
The Chinese in the United States donated money to purchase 50 fighter planes at the beginning of the war in August last year. They are still stuck at the port of Honolulu and cannot be transported to the country.
The only land route in China that wants to obtain fighter jets and other heavy weapons and equipment is Western Xinjiang, but it is really too far. Not only does it require arduous negotiations, but the long transportation cycle is enough to make people desperate.
Mao Xiong did not want Japan to quickly occupy the whole of China, but he never thought that China could quickly win this anti-aggression war. Only when China and Japan fell into a quagmire of tug of war was it in line with their strategic needs!
Both China and Japan understand it, but they are helpless because that is what the strong needs!
As for the air force major who is on the battlefield in China, he cannot think about the law of the jungle among the world's major powers. He only knows that the future war will be long, and he must leave enough for his students to fight the Japanese invaders. Weapons of combat.
He must avenge his best student while still saving his beloved fighter plane, which also means that he must shoot down the enemy plane within 30 seconds.
In the field of vision that the two equally sad and angry Chinese pilots could not see, the young Chinese pilot had actually landed safely on the ground, but just like the worst result they imagined, unfortunately, he landed in the Japanese position area.
If nothing unexpected happens, even if he decisively cuts the parachute cord with his sword, the search team organized by the Japanese army for the pilot who landed in the sky will reach his area in less than five minutes.
A single soldier armed only with a pistol, facing a group of aggrieved Japanese soldiers who were pinned to the ground and beaten, his fate was basically determined!
Shen Chonghai actually thought the same thing. He endured the severe pain of his sprained foot when he landed and quickly hid in the forest. He had already stuffed his personal notebook into a rock crevice.
He didn't know whether this notebook would be discovered by his side, but he believed that his infantry would definitely win this battle. Even if it was not discovered by them, this land belonged to China and would be discovered one day.
The various tactical actions he recorded in his notebook were classified as confidential and he did not want the Japanese to see it, but more importantly, it was a sentence he wrote to his mother before the war. He hoped that her mother would have the opportunity to see it.
But in less than a minute, with the sound of rustling footsteps in the woods, Shen Chonghai's eyes filled with despair. He did not expect that the Japanese would come so quickly.
There was despair in his eyes, but his hand holding the gun remained firm. The Belgian FN1900 pistol had a total of 7 bullets. In addition to the magazine in the gun, he also carried two magazines, with a total of 21 bullets. After 20 rounds were fired, , he will keep the last shot for himself!
This is the oath he swore when he received his gun as a student representative at the graduation ceremony of the aviation school. But he didn't expect that it would only be 3 months before he had to take the oath!
"Hey! Brothers inside, if you understand, please let me know! Otherwise, we brothers will shoot. It doesn't matter whether the little devil lives or dies for us brothers!" Suddenly, outside Shen Chonghai's hiding place, There was a soft cry. The pure Chinese language put the highly nervous Shen Chonghai in a trance, but the sound of pulling a gun bolt reminded him immediately. However, he did not show up in a hurry, but asked in his own northern dialect with a Cantonese accent: "Are you guys the same?" That part?"
"Haha, it turns out that you are really one of our own, and you are from Guangzhou. Come out quickly and follow us. The battle in the sky is almost over, and the little devils on the ground are almost finished. This area will soon be under fire from our regiment's artillery. Cover!" Following the voice, a soldier in fancy clothes strode forward and appeared in front of Shen Chonghai's gun.
Looking at Shen Chonghai who was still holding the pistol tightly, the visitor smiled slightly: "I am Gu Xishui, deputy commander of the reconnaissance company of the Special Agent Battalion of the Fourth Army Regiment. On the order of the regimental commander, I sneaked into the enemy's position to protect and relocate our pilots!"
Shen Chonghai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the person reporting his organization and the MP28 submachine gun held by his subordinates. Even though the military uniforms were a bit weird, Shen Chonghai still breathed a sigh of relief. If he was Japanese, he wouldn't have to go to such trouble!
It is true that for these Chinese pilots who fell from the sky, Tang Dao did everything he could. In addition to sending all members of the reconnaissance company in the theater to form a team for rescue, the reconnaissance teams of several infantry companies also shouldered this function!
For this reason, after the war, an inventory was carried out. It was found that there were a hundred people in the reconnaissance team that sneaked into the Japanese positions, but only 78 people were able to return to the position. Among them, 18 were seriously injured and 22 were killed. The casualty rate was as high as 40%. However, they were rescued and returned to the position. At least 4 injured Chinese pilots, the exchange ratio of 1 to 10 is still worth it in Tang Dao's opinion.
Even in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Army Regiment, it is worthwhile. It is precisely because of these heroic Chinese Air Force and the Japanese army's huge fleet of dozens of fighter planes that there is basically no decent bombing. More than 95% of the heavy bombs are Xia Jiba lost it, otherwise he would have suffered hundreds or even thousands of casualties.
“Okay, I'll go with you!” Shen Chonghai put away his pistol without even looking at the crack in the rock where he hid his notebook.
That is the last cordon set by the Chinese Air Force for itself!
Only 3 minutes later, Shen Chonghai, who followed Gu Xishui and 6 soldiers also wearing "flower clothes" to hide in a bush, saw with his own eyes a group of Japanese soldiers chasing him after his parachute was blown away by the wind. The dense forest where I once lived!
At this point, the identity of the friendly forces is certain!
However, they are still in the Japanese position area. Seven soldiers equipped with submachine guns and semi-automatic rifles look at the powerful firepower, but the lives of 8 people are still in danger!
However, for Shen Chonghai at this time, what worries him most is not his own body, but the two Chinese fighter jets that are chasing him in the sky!
Even though the situation in the air battle is already very clear, it is more dangerous to fight against a trapped beast. Especially when looking at the fighter plane of the instructor's friend Chen Ping, Shen Chonghai's heart has been tugged hard!
He knew his best friend's temper very well. Chen Ping looked careless and heartless, but in fact, from the fact that he left a letter of divorce for his fiancée before the war, he knew that Chen Ping had an extremely delicate heart and he could defend himself. The one you love sacrifices everything, including your own reputation!
Chen Ping just hopes that after he dies in battle, his loved ones won't be too sad, that's all!
Perhaps, this is a comrade-in-arms. You are in the sky and I am on the ground. One is staring at the ground and the other is looking up at the sky. Although we cannot see each other, we hope that the other is well!
To live is my greatest wish for you!
However, this is a battlefield, and everything cannot be based on human will!
When sacrifice is inevitable, then let me do it! This is almost the last wish of the Chinese soldiers present.
Amidst the heartbreaking roar of the engine, even with Gu Xishui's calmness, the eight Chinese soldiers seemed to have forgotten the danger they were in and couldn't help but look up at the sky.
In the field of vision, Chen Ping's wingman, who was responsible for luring the enemy, had relied on skillful techniques to escape from the lock of the Japanese aircraft by turning sideways and slowing down at low altitude.
The Japanese plane gave up chasing Chen Ping by also turning over to expose its fragile belly. Instead, it continued to lower its nose and dive to a low altitude of 300 meters or even lower.
With a trace of regret on his face, Huang Xinrui released his hand from the machine gun trigger. The Japanese plane was really cunning. As long as he rolled over, the sight that he had already locked in advance on the enemy plane's possible flip position could completely lock him, located on the nose of the plane. The metal bullets ejected by the four machine guns can penetrate the fragile belly of the enemy aircraft and explode it.
However, the cunning Japanese pilot was not fooled, and instead dived to a lower altitude.
Just, can you escape like this? Huang Xinrui pushed the afterburner lever hard and stepped on the accelerator, not caring about the danger of stalling at low altitude and continuing to chase the tenacious Japanese aircraft.
As long as he is given 10 seconds, he will have the confidence to catch up with the enemy plane and blow it up, whether he is pulling up or trying to evade the maneuver.
It is undoubtedly extremely dangerous to maneuver at such a low altitude. The change in air pressure may cause the aircraft to suddenly stall and crash into the mountain. An altitude of 300 meters does not give the pilot much time to control the aircraft.
Two fighter planes, one behind the other, flew across the sky less than 300 meters above the already intertwined positions of China and Japan. The strong air flow formed a strong wind on the ground, making it difficult to open one's eyes.
But neither the Chinese nor the Japanese are willing to close their eyes.
The 20mm machine guns and 12.7mm heavy machine guns that were waiting on the air defense positions of the Fourth Army did not fire. They just lay on the ground and watched two fighter planes belonging to two countries screaming and chasing each other not far above their heads. .
First: The two sides are really too close. If you are not careful, you will accidentally injure yourself!
Secondly: For warriors, it is a battle in the sky.
Although he hates the Japanese invaders extremely, it is difficult for people to dislike the tenacity of this Japanese pilot who is still fighting alone.
From the perspective of human nature, every act of choosing to fight despite knowing that one will die is a kind of spirit, which even exceeds the great hatred of life and death between nations.
Without experiencing the battlefield, you cannot understand the wonderful emotions between soldiers.
Although the ground artillery fire is still fierce, the soldiers on both sides have not yet started the collision on the ground battlefield. They are all waiting.
Waiting for the end of the sky battle!
Chinese soldiers are waiting for the final victory in the air battle. The morale boost brought by that victory has almost determined the outcome of the ground war.
For the Japanese on the ground, it was almost a heartbreaking wait.
The eagle of the Japanese Empire folded its wings in the sky of China. One after another, the imperial eagle fell in the terrifying formation charges of Chinese aircraft.
So far, only one is still fighting and fighting, although it is at an absolute disadvantage.
Most Japanese people don't know what they are waiting for. Are they waiting for the last imperial eagle to fall? Or are they waiting for the Imperial Eagle to fight back and shoot down a Chinese aircraft to give them a shot in the arm?
The possibility of the former is as high as 90%, while the possibility of the latter is more like a fairy tale.
But no matter what, the morale of the Japanese infantry, which had hit rock bottom, was on the rise because of Iwamoto Tetsuzo's unyielding spirit.
ps: There was no update yesterday. My daughter woke up early in the morning and said she wanted to go camping with her classmates, and three parents were required to drive. As a doting girl, how could I refuse? I spent two or three hours preparing everything and then drove on the road. I work as a driver and a barbecue master in one day, and I also work as an astronomy teacher to popularize the stars at night, and then I get bitten by a swarm of mosquitoes. Really, you need to be careful when camping in summer! The group of kids who have entered their senior year of high school can't control that much. The main theme is 'Dad, we are the new generation who can do whatever we want'!
Dear you, you should think twice before you act! This is the conclusion Fengyue came to after going out for a lap without updating yesterday. I hope everyone will not make this mistake. The bag on one leg is proof!
