New World War II Eagle Strikes the Sky

() Sasaki Kojiro is the commander of the ki-43 formation serving as the decoy. Just now, he received an order from General Kato to retreat.

"Damn it!" Sasaki said in his heart, (he didn't dare to shout such words to Kato) "It's too..."

Although reluctant, Kato's power can still force him to obey orders obediently.

"Prepare to turn, direction 270, let's go back." Sasaki gave an order weakly.

Twelve Ki-43s turned a corner and were about to return. At this moment, a novice pilot named Qingbei who was unwilling to return to the flight looked into the distance again.

"What is that... an American transport plane!"

"At 8 o'clock, we found an American transport plane! We found an American transport plane! The Emperor is onboard!" Kiyobei ​​shouted excitedly.

"It's such a headache," Sasaki frowned, "It's not too early, not too late, but at this time, it can be seen that this is a fallacy!" If the American transport plane appeared so soon, the fleet would have already been there before receiving Kato's order Into the battle, then naturally there is no need to withdraw from the battle.If these transport planes appeared a little later, then everyone would have already gone back, so there would be no need to be so entangled.

But Sasaki didn't have to worry about disobeying General Kato's orders right away.Because the rookie named Qinghei yelled "The Emperor is on board!" Then he turned around and rushed towards the enemy's transport fleet regardless of his care.With a leader, the rest of the rookies who were a little unwilling to retreat and lacked the feeling of the danger of war also followed in a swarm.

This team of ki-43s acted as bait in this operation.No one is willing to use a large number of valuable top pilots as bait, so in this team of ki-43, the rookies who have just been added and have never been on the battlefield account for the majority.

"These idiots!" Sasaki gritted his teeth fiercely, "I have learned the infantry's style of attacking and attacking! The whole formation is in chaos. Now a group of enemy planes will come again, that's really... ..."

However, complaints are complaints, but in this situation, he can't just leave these rookies here and go back by himself anyway?Besides, even he himself, um, actually thinks that there is nothing wrong with killing these transport planes first and then going back.As for encountering enemy fighter jets soon, it is impossible to fight without taking any risks. Besides, my luck is not so bad.Of course, the one who gave the order must be himself!

Of course, after returning home, these disobedient rookies must be dealt with properly, and they must be...

While thinking about it, Sasaki whispered the somewhat redundant order: "Assault all!"

The C-47 has no self-defense firepower, but that doesn't mean it's an easy target to shoot down.Like most American planes, it was thick and strong, so that many times, the enemy ran out of bullets and was not necessarily able to take it down.Once, after a ki-43 ran out of bullets, it still couldn't do anything to this transport plane. Finally, the ripan pilot who became angry decided to carry forward the spirit of bushido, so he drove the plane into a c- 47 above.Then, the Devil pilot went to the Yasukuni Shrine to report, and the c-47, um, was seriously damaged, and then flew back crookedly.

If you want to resolve the battle quickly, you must strike the c-47's engine precisely. The c-47 has only two engines, as long as they are broken, the c-47 will naturally be finished.

But when Sasaki rushed over, the scene in front of him almost made him faint.

Those rookies have completely forgotten all the skills they taught them in the tactics class. They will only stare at the six o'clock of the c-47 and fire hard at its fat fuselage.Especially that guy named Kiyobe, who was yelling "The Emperor is on board" while firing wildly at a c-47. Sasaki is sure that if no one stops him, he will definitely shoot out the bullets in one go of.

"You idiots, red deer! Shoot the engine! Shoot the engine!" Sasaki couldn't bear it anymore, and started yelling on the radio, "After I go back, I must use the belt to impress you all."

After being scolded by Sasaki, a group of rookies began to understand a little bit, so they began to turn their targets to the c-47 engine.It's just that compared to the fat body, the target of the engine is too small, and the c-47 is constantly dodging, so most of the bullets fired by the rookies don't know where they go.

"Idiot, look at how I attacked!" Sasaki yelled and rushed over. When passing by the c-47, he fired quickly and accurately hit a string of bullets on the c-47 On the left engine compartment of the c-47.The engine rattled, then the propeller slowed down, and finally stood still.Sasaki's attack successfully destroyed the left engine of the c-[-].

"Did you see it? That's it, approach and attack!" After pulling the plane up, Sasaki triumphantly taught the novices a lesson.In fact, it was not an easy task for a veteran to successfully knock out an engine just by entering it once.

"Sir Sasaki is really good!"

"Sir, you really deserve to be a role model for my generation!"

The sound of applause from the radio made Sasaki feel a lot better.Even a little flustered.Nevertheless, he restrained his complacency, and said in as stern a tone as possible:

"Stop screaming, quickly resolve the battle!"

……

Tenth Air Force War Room

"Sir, the gannets are being attacked by Japanese Ki-43 fighter jets!" A staff officer reported to Ron and Bissel who were standing in front of the big map, "It's right here."

Ron looked down at the map and asked, "How long will it take for our fighter jets to arrive?"

"It will take about 5 minutes." A combat staff officer replied.

"Order the transport plane, drop the cargo, and reduce the speed and altitude." Ron ordered.

The purpose of reducing the altitude and speed is not only to increase the difficulty of Japanese fighters attacking, but also to induce Japanese fighters to reduce their speed and altitude.In this way, in future air battles, their situation will be very difficult.

……

It is not easy for an unarmed transport plane to persist for 5 minutes under the siege of a group of fighter jets. Fortunately, this kind of transport plane is quite strong, and fortunately, rookies accounted for the majority of the fighter jets besieging them.

Qing Bingwei, who was the first to attack, was almost out of bullets, but the C-47 in front of him was still flying.Considering that the c-47 has no self-defense firepower anyway, in order to ensure that the opponent can be shot down, Qingbei even simply reduced the speed to the same speed as the c-47, and then slowly pushed up from the six o'clock direction. He planned to keep approaching Get very, very close and then fire and shoot.At this time, Qingbei's Ki-43 seemed to be flying with a C-47.

Qingbingwei didn't start shooting until he was less than 50 meters away.At this distance, Qing Bingwei's shooting was finally reliable.The bullets fired by the two 12.7mm machine guns all accurately hit the engine compartment, thick black smoke and orange flames spewed out from the engine compartment, and a large piece of skin was even lifted off by the bullets.

Qing Bingwei was complacent, but saw that piece of skin actually slammed into his plane.In order to avoid this piece of skin, Qingbei hurriedly pulled the lever and jumped up.However, he forgot one thing.After being attacked, the U.S. military's transport plane immediately lowered its speed and altitude quickly. In order to shoot accurately, the height and speed of Qingbei's Ki-43 are basically the same as these transport planes, that is, the height does not exceed 100 meters. , the speed does not exceed 170 kilometers per hour.In such a state, the lever was pulled up sharply, and there was only one result, that is, Qingbei's ki-43 stalled.

Qingbei's stalled ki-43 fell straight down. The height was less than a hundred meters, so he had no possibility of pulling up the plane. Similarly, he had no time to complete the parachuting action.When the black smoke curled up after his fighter plane crashed, the C-47 he damaged was still flying.

However, the siege of more than ten fighter jets cannot be supported by six unarmed transport planes with thick skins alone.In just a few minutes, four c-4s were severely damaged.All four of these planes had their engines stopped on one side, and the engines of two of them even caught fire.You know, once the engine catches fire and cannot be extinguished, it basically means that the plane will definitely die.

Now, the doors of these planes are all open, and the people on the planes whose engines have not yet caught fire are busy throwing anything they can to lighten the load on the planes, but in fact, they lost one of their engines. , there is not much hope of flying back; as for the plane with the engine on fire, they are busy parachuting.Although he jumped down and landed in the vast rainforest, the hope of surviving is equally slim, but it is always good to have hope.

If this siege continues, it won't be long before all the c-47s will be shot down.For Ri himself, a victory is already in sight.But at this time, Sasaki Kojiro suddenly felt heart palpitations for no reason, so he no longer personally participated in the attack, but took his wingmen to pull the plane up a little, in an airspace about 400 meters higher than those rookies patrolling.

There was nothing in the surrounding sky, and Sasaki wondered if he was oversensitive. Looking down at the clumsy attacks of those rookies below, Sasaki even thought, maybe it's the best choice to go down and get it done quickly.

But at this moment, his wingman shouted: "6 o'clock direction, enemy attack!"

Sasaki turned his head hard, and he saw four enemy planes roaring down behind him.
