my bright sword career

Chapter 463 is finally here
This was a very disparate and tragic air battle. In this air battle, Pan Rongbao alone shot down three enemy planes.

Despite this, Pan Rongbao, who was on the battlefield, did not feel any signs of a decrease in the number of enemy planes around him, and the worst thing was that after more than 20 minutes of fierce fighting, the ammunition carried by the P-47 had already run out.

Don't think that since the P-47 can carry a 3000-pound external bomb, it can carry the same weight of machine gun bullets. In fact, the P-47 has eight aviation machine guns and only carries 3400 rounds of ammunition, and these ammunition can only support They fire simultaneously for 30 seconds or so.

Yes, you read that right, it's just that short.

Therefore, in real air combat, the time for pilots to fire is usually calculated in seconds.

"Whoosh..."

Pan Rongbao gasped heavily.

People who have never experienced air combat can never imagine how energy-intensive air combat will be. Unlike infantry combat, in air combat, it is often only a few seconds that can determine a person's life and death, and the dead are often just Because I made a wrong flight action or was half a beat slower than my opponent's reaction.

The cold wind gushed in from the cockpit glass that had been broken several times. Even though Pan Rongbao was wearing a mask, he still felt gusts of cold wind penetrate into his body through the leather jacket.

"Can't you hold on? Just give up. You've done enough. Anyway, the ammunition is almost exhausted. It doesn't make any sense to keep going."

Due to the rapid loss of body temperature, high mental tension, and non-stop high-intensity rolling movements, Pan Rongbao's sanity gradually became blurred, and a series of hallucinations began to appear in his mind.

"Pan Rongbao...you have to remember that we are eagles soaring in the sky, we are the Great Wall of the country in the sky, and the word "give up" is not in the dictionary of pilots. It is our creed to live and fight. Even if you run out of bullets, We also want to use our own bodies and landlines as the last bomb to blow up the enemy, just like what Chief Shen Chonghai did back then!"

"I can't give up, the bullets on the plane haven't been fired yet!"

The constant cold wind pouring in from the broken glass made Pan Rongbao sober up a lot. He turned his head and looked behind him. The three Zeros at the rear were still chasing after him, and bullets kept passing around.

He looked at the dashboard in front of him again, and found that the hydraulic oil gauge of the left engine had dropped by half, and it seemed that the hydraulic system had been hit.

"No... If you continue like this, you will die here."

Pan Rongbao understood that the surrounding area was already surrounded by Japanese planes, and if he wanted to escape, he had to give it a go.

He pushed the joystick down, and the nose of the plane sank immediately, almost diving downward at an angle of eighty degrees. Soon the speed of the P-47 reached more than 600 kilometers per hour, and the heavy fighter was like a weight Like falling down.

Seeing this, the three Zeros in the back followed like a conditioned reflex. In just over ten seconds, the altitude of both sides had dropped from more than 600 meters to less than 1000 meters.

In the high-speed dive state, the cockpit of the P-47 was very windy. If he was not tied by the seat belt, Pan Rongbao would have been blown away by the wind.

But even so, he continued to dive unswervingly in the fighter plane, because he kept in mind what his instructor once said, "Japanese fighter planes are characterized by dexterous turning, fast speed, and long range, and these are their advantages.

However, since the engine has always been their weakness, Japanese designers can only work hard on reducing the configuration in order to improve the performance of the aircraft.Such as removing the protective steel plate of the cockpit and drilling holes for the wings are routine operations.

Because of this, Japanese aircraft, like their chariots, have always been known for being thin-skinned, so the performance of Japanese aircraft is not bad at low altitudes, but it is not very good at altitudes above 6000 meters, especially at high speeds. When diving, the fragile body mechanism can easily disintegrate because it cannot withstand high-intensity maneuvers. "

The thick earth is like a huge wall. As the line of sight gets bigger and bigger, the deadly feeling of suffocation also follows. This kind of pressure is not something ordinary people can bear. With that pointer quickly dropped from 3000 meters to 800 meters.

At this time, he didn't realize that two of the four Zeros that had been following him had changed from fast dives to level flight, and only two Zeros were still following him closely at the risk of disintegration. .

When the altimeter reached 300 meters, Pan Rongbao pulled the joystick back with all his strength, and at the same time pushed the throttle to the maximum.

The Pratt & Whitney R-2800-59 double-row radial engine emitted a burst of smoke due to full speed operation, and the P-47 also caused a slight creaking sound due to severe overload.

Fortunately, thanks to the abnormal sturdiness of the P-47, the fighter plane was still steadily changed to level flight, but because the plane's altitude was too low, its belly almost touched the treetops on the ground before heading straight again. blue sky.

But the Type Zero, which was chasing after it, was not so lucky. It was too obsessed with eliminating the culprit who had already killed three of their fighters, and ignored the officer's warning and planned to give it a go. Finally tasted the bad results. The fragile body of the Type Zero fighter he was driving finally couldn't bear the violent maneuvering and disintegrated one after another. The earth has become a fertilizer for the weeds on the wasteland.

Pan Rongbao, who had escaped, seized this rare opportunity, turned the nose of the plane and flew towards the hill on the left, trying to break out of the encirclement of the Japanese army at low altitude.

Just when he was about to slip away, a large group of black spots suddenly appeared in the southwest sky, flying towards this direction quickly.

An anxious voice suddenly sounded in the headset: "Red team three, please pay attention, please answer if you hear it!"

Pan Rongbao, who did not shed a single tear even in the life-and-death air battle just now, suddenly had red eyes and choked up, saying, "I am the third red team, I am the third red team... you are finally here."

"Good job Red Team Three, we're here to support you, you're going back right now... Do you understand, go back right away!"

Xue Shaogong, the captain of the first team who rushed to the reinforcements urgently connected to the channel of the whole team, and said coldly: "Everyone in the first team, now it's our turn to avenge the brothers of the second team! Kill them all!"

"Kill them all!"

A large group of pilots who rushed to take off and rushed here rushed towards the Japanese plane in the sky while roaring, and another big battle was about to start!
