my bright sword career

Chapter 257
Seeing the sudden Japanese plane, Wang Jingguo's heart sank.

He is well aware of the power of Japanese aircraft. During the Battle of Xinkou in 37, 30 national troops faced [-] Japanese troops. In this battle, the national army had four times the number of Japanese troops, but they still lost in the end. In addition to the reasons of quality and weapons, the most important thing is that the Chinese army does not have air supremacy.

At that time, not to mention the planes to help out, the Chinese army didn't even have a few anti-aircraft guns. He could only watch the Japanese planes bombard the Chinese army indiscriminately. He witnessed many troops being killed before they even reached the front line. The Japanese planes fled in all directions, and countless newly dug positions were blown up by the heavy bombs dropped by the Japanese planes. After a month of bloody battle and 10 heavy casualties, Xinkou, an important The pass finally fell into the hands of the Japanese army.

To be honest, he was more excited than anyone else when he saw the planes of the Liantai Flying Brigade bombing the Japanese positions just now, but it's a pity that the little devil's plane arrived a few minutes before he was happy.

At this moment, Wang Jingguo, who was concentrating on observing the sky, didn't notice that his hand holding the telescope was already wet with sweat.

The plane that came this time was none other than the old rival of the Liantai Flying Squadron...the No.20 21st Flying Squadron stationed at Taiyuan Airport, led by Captain Fujino Shigeharu of the [-]st Flying Squadron.

Originally, Shigeharu Fujino, as the captain of the 21st flight team, did not have to personally lead the team to perform missions. However, during this period of fierce battles between the 21st flight team and the Taiwan flight team, both fighters and pilots suffered a lot. The newly added pilots A large part of them are novices, so as the captain, he can only go into battle himself.

In view of the recent dispatches of the Taiwan Flying Brigade to compete with the 21st Flying Brigade for air supremacy, this time Fujino Shigeharu did not dare to neglect, and dispatched [-] Type [-] fighters, four Type [-] heavy bombers and seven Type [-] fighters. Twin-engine light explosive machine.

Unlike the Type 87 heavy explosive aircraft, the Type [-] light explosive aircraft is a light bomber, and its bomb load is also pitifully small, only [-] kilograms. It is not even as good as the JU-[-] Stuka dive bomber, but it is not useless. In addition to the shortcoming of less ammunition, it far surpasses the Stuka in terms of range and speed. At the same time, it is also the first Japanese aircraft with night bombing capabilities so far.

Today, the first to arrive at Weijiazhuang was the [-]-type light explosive aircraft. The pilot who had just arrived at the battlefield saw Weijiazhuang still in the sea of ​​gunpowder and the Stuka squadron struggling to climb in the distance. .

Second Lieutenant Matsuoka Yuji, the captain of the Type 300 Light Explosive Fleet, lowered the plane to an altitude of more than [-] meters in order to see clearly. He looked at the Weijiazhuang shrouded in thick smoke and the Jinsui Army in blue uniforms who appeared from time to time. Seeing those bunkers that had been blown into ruins again, he immediately knew that these must be good things done by those Huaxia bombers just now, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"God Amaterasu... What did the Chinese people do?"

Just when Matsuoka Yuji exclaimed, Fujino Shigeharu's voice suddenly sounded in his headset: "Matsuoka-kun, be careful...the Chinese plane is coming towards you...it's on your left!"

Matsuoka Yuji looked up to the upper left, and sure enough, more than a dozen fighter planes were flying towards their fleet from high altitude.

"not good!"

Matsuoka Yuji's heart tightened, and he shouted without thinking: "Everyone, pay attention...shoot...shoot quickly, and never let the Chinese fighters approach!"

"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."

Accompanied by bursts of dull gunshots, the formation of Type [-] light explosive machines began to pour out flames towards the upper left.

Here I would like to specifically explain that the Type [-] Light Explosive Aircraft is a very Japanese-style bomber. The designer of the modified bomber, Takeo Uesi, used the Japanese frugal style to the extreme in order to control the weight and volume of the airframe.

Many people may not be able to believe that the empty weight of such a bomber is only 4500 kilograms, which is dozens of kilograms lighter than the P47 Thunder fighter (empty weight 4536 kilograms) equipped by the Liantai Flying Brigade.

When the aircraft was designed, the original personnel quota was 4 people, but due to the extremely narrow and limited space in the cockpit and the small bomb load, in fact, each aircraft was equipped with only three people, namely the pilot, the electromechanical operator and the bombardier.

However, this aircraft is equipped with three machine guns 7.7mm machine guns, which are located in the nose, belly, and tail of the aircraft.

The machine gun at the tail is in charge of the electromechanical officer, but what about the remaining two machine guns?You can't let the pilot control it. People have to fly the plane. There is no way for the bombardier to have multiple roles. Therefore, in wartime, the bombardier can only scurry around in the narrow cabin like a monkey. ,

Gossip less and let’s get back to business, the Japanese’s reaction was still very quick. It took less than ten seconds to open fire when they discovered the enemy’s situation.

But this is where the light bomber is messed up. Since there is no machine gun installed on the top of the aircraft, and the fighter planes of the Liantai Flying Brigade come from the left rear, only the tail machine gun can be used.

Facing the bullets fired by the Type 47 light explosive aircraft group, Huang Kebiao, the leader of the team, just smiled contemptuously and pushed the throttle lightly. The P600 fighter jets rushed down at a speed of more than 12.7 kilometers per hour, accompanied by bursts of dull machine guns. In just a few seconds, the eight [-]mm large-caliber Browning machine guns installed on the two wings of the aircraft sprayed out hundreds of bullets. To cover up.

Gao Hongming, who came from later generations, may not know much about the Air Force, but he remembered that when he visited a certain military forum, there was a post saying it.

In order to maximize the performance of the aircraft, the Japanese seldom install guard plates, almost all of them are made of light aluminum alloy, the anti-strike ability is very fragile, and they do not use closed fuel tanks. Once they are shot, they are very easy to catch fire. After the Americans discovered the characteristics of Japanese aircraft in the late World War II, they immediately began to change the machine gun bullets of the aircraft to the configuration of adding three white phosphorus bullets after every five armor-piercing bullets.

In this way, as long as the Japanese aircraft is hit, it is rare for it to fail to catch fire. For Japanese aircraft that did not install fire extinguishing devices on the aircraft, once it caught fire, it meant that the aircraft was hopeless.

The same is true today. After being hit by more than a dozen bullets, the Type [-] light explosive machine placed at the end of the formation immediately ignited a raging crowd, and soon turned into a ball of fire in the air before exploding in the air.

Seeing that Huang Kebiao was victorious, the eleven P47s behind him were not to be outdone. They formed a formation of two planes and attacked the selected target. In the first round of attack, four Type [-] light explosive planes were defeated. Fireball, only one pilot of the four downed light bombers was able to escape by parachuting.

And it wasn't until this time that the Type 47 fighter formation led by Fujino Shigeharu rushed to the battlefield. Looking at the P[-] formation that turned around and ran away after a round of attacks, Fujino Shigeharu was so angry that he cursed...
