New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

Although the best time to intercept this batch of American transport planes has been missed, General Kato felt that it was still necessary to send a brigade of fighter jets out for a walk. He sent 16 planes in one go, so that he could see if he had a chance to catch them. The tail of the transport fleet, and secondly, after being aggrieved by the sneak attack, Ri himself also needs to regain some face in normal air combat.According to reports from the observation post, those American escort fighter jets have not yet returned.The sound of their conversation can also be monitored from the radio station.Kato believes that as long as these American planes can be found in the sky, his Yamato samurai will be able to win this round.Because those American planes are so stupid to turn, it took only a few turns for the ki-43 to firmly bite their six points.

Ri himself did find American planes in the air, or in other words, they were discovered by the Americans.Just at the 9 o'clock direction of the Japanese fleet, four American fighter jets appeared.

The Japanese pilots are already familiar with these "new p-40s" of the Yankees.In Ri's opinion, except for the longer range, these things seem to be inferior to the P-40 in all aspects.So the Japanese fighter group began to disperse and climbed rapidly.It's just that the performance of the Americans this time is different from previous battles, not only because this time, the four American planes have a clear advantage in altitude, but also because of their astonishing speed.

With the help of gravitational acceleration, the speed of the four p-51s that swooped down from a higher position reached an astonishing 750 kilometers per hour, faster than the ki-43 that was struggling to climb at a speed of a little more than [-] kilometers It more than doubled.

In the past, the Japanese pilots also knew that the American P-51s flew faster than them, but they rarely had the opportunity to see the P-51s flying so fast. Therefore, when judging the approaching speed of the two sides, it is like When doing tactical guidance before the war, as Ron predicted, Ri himself made a misjudgment.When the four P-51s approached the range of the machine guns, some Ki-43s hadn't had time to make proper defensive actions.

The four P-51s fired at the same time, and Ri's fleet immediately became a mess.However, the turning performance of the Ki-43 is really extraordinary. In the first round of attack, only one plane that couldn't dodge was shot and exploded.

Now that he escaped the attack, the next step should of course be to fight back.Most Japanese pilots feel that Japanese aircraft are more flexible and have more numbers, so they will definitely gain an advantage.

However, the ideal is full, but the reality is skinny.The Americans did not leave them any chance to fight back.The four P-51s pulled up quickly, and climbed to a high place with an unbelievably high rate of climb.

"When did American fighter jets climb so well?" Koji Sakamoto, who survived the catastrophe last time, was also in the air this time. He opened his eyes wide and was surprised to see that the four P-51s were far better than their Ki-43s. The rate of climb climbed rapidly, and a shadow was cast in his heart.

Actually the p-51 doesn't climb that well, at least the current p-51a definitely doesn't climb that well. The p-51's pioneering laminar flow wing reduces drag and improves the aircraft's high-speed performance, but it has a certain impact on climb.However, because the four p-51s dived down from a high altitude, the sharp dive made these planes have extremely high speeds, and with this speed, relying on the way of jumping, the p-51s Played that seemingly unbelievable super fast climb.

All the pilots in the sky are extremely experienced pilots. Once they see the p-51 climbing like this, they know that there is no chance of counterattack.Not only is there no chance of counterattack, on the contrary, after the Americans climb to a high place, there will definitely be another high-speed dive attack.Now the formation of Japanese fighter jets is too dense, and it is easy for a group of planes to be overwhelmed by so few planes and unable to climb up.So Saburo Hashimoto, who led the team, immediately issued an order: "All teams spread out."

The Japanese planes began to spread out quickly in units of two.In this way, the American fighter planes that dive down can only threaten one ki-43 at a time.There will never be a situation where there are several Japanese aircraft on the attack line of an American aircraft. Once attacked, several aircraft will make a turning action.In this way, when the Americans attack one plane, the other planes have the opportunity to climb to a higher place.And when the American plane pulls up again, it can follow up and attack it.

The American reaction was not slow either. In fact, Japan's own reaction to this situation was exactly what was expected in the pre-war preparation meeting.

"If Ri himself spreads out, then you all gather and attack one of them in turn, enough to keep a good distance to ensure that when he just escaped the attack of the first plane, the second plane can just hit it He. In this way, even a very good pilot, it is difficult not to make mistakes when faced with several aircrafts attacking in turn."

This is what Ron told them at the preparation meeting.Later, in the pre-war drills, almost every pilot tried what it would be like to be swooped and attacked by others in turn.As a result, although they were prepared, most of them failed to survive a round of intensive attacks from three to four aircraft.

Unfortunately, Sakamoto, who survived the catastrophe last time, was targeted again, and four p-51s rushed towards him in turn.With a beautiful turn, Koji Sakamoto dodged the attack of the first P-51, but when he was overwhelmed by the sharp overload and his eyes were blackened, the second P-51 rushed over again.What a good Koji Sakamoto, another roll, and the shells from the p-51she were emptied.But at this time, the third plane came over again...

Hashimoto, who led the team, was not far away. He watched four enemy planes rush towards Koji Sakamoto. He saw that Koji successfully avoided the first and second attacks, but his heart But he lifted it up abruptly.He knew the burden that Koji Sakamoto's two actions just now had on his body, and he knew that Koji Sakamoto must still be in a state of black vision (during intense flight movements, the pilot's blood would be thrown to the legs, causing brain damage. blood, blurred vision, and even pitch blackness before his eyes.) He didn’t recover, his eyes must be pitch black, and he couldn’t see anything.At this time, the third enemy plane also rushed over.

"Koji, turn the corner!" Hashimoto shouted.

However, it was too late, the shells fired by the third enemy plane hit Koji Sakamoto's Ki-43, and then the fourth enemy plane fired another string of shells at the already burning fighter plane.Koji Sakamoto's fighter plane was blown to pieces right under Hashimoto's nose.

"Damn it!" Hot blood rushed to the top of Hashimoto's head. Four American planes dared to take the initiative to attack twelve Imperial Army fighters, and even shot down two Imperial Army fighters without injury.This is definitely a disgrace to the imperial army.

But now, the rest of the ki-43s have climbed to a higher position. If the Americans still want to pull up at a wide angle like just now, Hashimoto feels that he has a chance to bite them and avenge Sakamoto Koji.

It's just that the Yankees disappointed Hashimoto once again. They didn't pull up quickly, but relied on high speed to quickly distance themselves from the Japanese fleet, and then began to climb slowly.

"Catch up and destroy them!" Hashimoto ordered.

Ron, who was ordered not to take off, can only stay in the command post honestly.After several hours of silent waiting, the pilots began to shout excitedly over the radio.

"Well, 6 enemy planes have been killed, and none of the pilots have been able to parachute. We haven't lost a single one. This performance is really good."

At this time, a new situation came from the headset:

"The dog calls Eagle's Nest, the dog calls Eagle's Nest, there are more than a dozen enemy planes following us in area 15. The altitude is 3000 meters."

Ron immediately picked up the microphone:

"Dogs, please keep a good distance and altitude, and take them to area 17. Don't let them get lost. ... This is the Eagle's Nest, call the hornet, call the hornet, you immediately rush to area 17, altitude 3800 meters, the altitude is 3800 meters, pay attention to search for enemy planes!...The Eagle's Nest calls for the cats, and the Eagle's Nest calls for the cats..."

Hornets, cats, cobras, giant pandas, and raccoons, the entire five teams and twenty fighters began to concentrate on the 17th area.Get ready for a feast.

"No, the Americans have conspiracy. With their speed, if they really want to run, they should have run away. But they let us follow at a distance. This is absolutely abnormal."

Unlike those angry pilots in the air, General Kato in the command post had already calmed down from the frustration and anger of the loss. He immediately realized that the situation was wrong. There must be a conspiracy in it, and the Americans must be preparing for a A bigger raid.

"Don't chase anymore, return immediately!" General Kato issued an order.

"But the general..."

"Stop talking, obey orders!"

The prestige brought by Kato's previous victories worked, and the always arrogant pilots obeyed his orders and began to turn.

"Damn, the little devil is about to run away. We are now in area 16, and the devil turned 160 degrees. Sir, what should we do?"

"Chasing after them and harassing them." Ron replied, "Pay attention to your own safety!"

"The 160-degree direction is the 8th area, and then there is the 5th area, and then the enemy's airport." A staff officer immediately reported to Ron.

"At our speed, we can catch up with them in area 5." A mapping staff officer reported.

"Where is the transport plane?"

"It has reached area 25, which is beyond the interception range of Ri himself."

"Okay, let all the planes gather in area No. 8 and prepare for battle!" Ron gave an order.

"Attention all teams, immediately gather at No. 8 area at full speed, at an altitude of 3800 meters. Repeat..." This order was quickly transmitted to each p-51 fighter.The entire airspace boiled up, and a big battle was inevitable.
