Chapter 299 Fierce Battle at Bajialing (11) [For White Elephant 1/3]
After about 15 minutes, the position on Bajia Ridge had become a sea of joy.
Because after Hu Biao's short talk on the walkie-talkie ended, a P51B fighter jet immediately took off from the runway at Hengyang Airport.
Then, like an eagle catching a chicken, it ferociously pounced on the two opponents.
Yes, Hu Biao and all the rubes firmly believe that the above statement is not excessive at all.
Although the P51 fighter jet, nicknamed Mustang, also belongs to the category of propeller combat, it has a maximum speed of 708 kilometers per hour.
As well as 12.7mm caliber and 7.62mm caliber machine guns, four weapons each, bringing an astonishing air combat firepower.
When faced with the Type 97 fighter, this kind of junk only has two 7.7mm calibers.
With the pilots on both sides having similar skills, the process was really too easy for the Mustang side.
As a result, Hu Biao and the others could see that after two minutes of fighting, one of the Type 97 fighters was shot down from the sky like a turkey.
The other remaining Type 97 fighter jet saw that something was not going well and immediately turned around and tried to escape.
But with a maximum speed of 460 kilometers per hour, he was like an old lady with small feet in front of the wild horse; he was soon overtaken by the wild horse behind him, and was shot down on the spot after several bolts of flames were fired at him.
After dealing with two opponents who were not even troublesome, the Mustang did not leave immediately.
Instead, they faced the Japanese troops on the ground who were attacking the hilltop position. After firing all the bullets they carried, they returned to the airport.
Under the strafing fire of such a Mustang, the Japanese attack was directly defeated.
They didn't even have time to carry the bodies of their fallen comrades, so they retreated as if desperate.
It was also during this period of time that Hu Biao learned from the chatter on the walkie-talkie that the pilot was not the Mr. Jack who had been saved by An Tusheng's surgery.
After all, An Tusheng used an incision to remove Jack's perforated appendix, instead of the minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery in the modern world.
After finishing it, you can go to work quickly without affecting work, study, appointments, etc.
Now, although Mr. Jack was injected with penicillin, a good medicine that is very rare in these days, he is still lying in the airport dormitory slowly recovering.
But the appearance of this Mustang fighter is still inseparable from Jack.
It was due to his operation that such an air reinforcement appeared.
The period from 2 pm to 5 pm was the most pleasant time for Hu Biao and others on Bajia Ridge.
Because as soon as the Japs launched an attack, they only had to shout a few times into the walkie-talkie, and the Mustang, reloaded with bullets, would arrive as promised.
Using crazy ground strafing firepower, it caused a horrific killing in the offensive formation of the Japanese on the ground.
If it weren't for the artillery position a little behind the Japanese, which currently had a lot of anti-aircraft firepower set up, another huge threat to Hu Biao and the others could have been eliminated directly.
Even if it is bombarded from time to time, it seems to have some flaws.
In such an afternoon for more than three hours, Hu Biao and the others were still allowed to relax.
I was able to sit leisurely on the top of the mountain, smoking the captured Japanese cigarettes, and watching this Mustang display its powerful combat effectiveness.
I was even in the mood to drink the instant bagged coffee I got from the airport.
By the way! This is the first time Hu Biao and the others have enjoyed the benefits of this kind of air support after participating in so many system missions.
Seeing a completely different battle situation with aircraft support, Hu Biao suddenly became a little more imaginative.
Why can't Mao and the others, who represent the Zhongzhou team that represents love and justice, train a pilot of their own?
Of course, a modern jet pilot can't master it in a short time. It takes several years to train him. This is true.
But propeller planes like those from World War II wouldn't be that difficult to make, right? As long as they're willing to fly more often, I believe they can be used in a month or two.
If something goes wrong in future missions, wouldn't it be much easier to just switch to another aircraft and fly out?
Damn it! These things flying in the sky are indeed a bit expensive, but their Zhongzhou team still has some wealth and can afford to exchange them.
After thinking of such a possibility, Hu Biao faced a group of team members squatting on the trench or sitting on the rocks, smiling like silly sons of landlords.
He asked: "By the way! Do any of you have the foundation to fly an aircraft?"
"I, I, I have~" Hu Biao's voice fell, and Yang Ma Bai Xiang raised his hand to signal.
And in pride or embarrassment, he tried his best to stand up and look a little scary, and then explained in detail:
"I've flown the Apache Longbow helicopter several times, and I can't say that my skills are superb. Now you can get me one and I can fly it on the spot.
In addition, I have flown propeller planes like the Toucan twice before, but that was only when I was a girl. Now..."
Bai Xiang didn't finish what he said, but everyone could basically understand what such a tough girl meant, given her over-developed figure and weight.
It's probably difficult to squeeze into such a relatively pitiful cockpit. Even after forcing it in, I couldn't move my hands and feet.
Therefore, what this guy said is in vain.
Under Hu Biao's questioning look, everyone else shook their heads one after another, saying that they had never accepted such a high-end thing.
Seeing this, Hu Biao could only change his words:
"Brothers, I'm thinking that our Zhongzhou team must have its own pilot. It would be great to provide air support at critical moments.
So, raise your hands if you are willing to learn flying postures.
After this mission is over, I will go to a more reliable flight school or aviation club to learn how to fly a propeller aircraft.
Don’t worry, don’t be afraid of spending money. As long as you learn it as soon as possible, the team will reimburse you for any expenses.”
At such a statement, a crowd of arms immediately stood up. It seemed that almost half of the team members wanted to use the team's public activity funds for free.
Among such a group of people, Mad Dog finally obtained the qualification to study at public expense.
The reason is that Mad Dog claimed that when he graduated from high school, he still had the idea of applying for a flight academy. As a result, he passed the previous physical examination and review smoothly.
In the end, his parents were determined not to do it, so he finally gave up with regret.
For this reason, he was the training target for the team's pilots.
However, the rest of the team should not be too disappointed about such a thing. Mad Dog is just the first pathfinder in the team to take advantage of the situation.
Later, when conditions permit, others can learn from it.
Just when Hu Biao was happily looking forward to a day like June 27th, at least during the day, he could spend it easily, another change occurred on the battlefield.
In other words, how could the system's cheater be willing to allow Hu Biao and the others to get through such a first stage of the task so easily.
At about 5:20, Hu Biao picked up the telescope at Xiling's prompt.
Then through the lens of the telescope, the Japanese were found 2 kilometers away, and suddenly at least 300 people gathered.
From the dancing-like mobilization of the leading Japanese officer, it seemed that these Japanese soldiers were about to launch the largest attack since the war began.
Hu Biao, who saw all this at that time, was not afraid at all. He immediately called the Mustang fighter jet from the airport to take off and started to eat meat.
However, the moment the Mustang took off, four Japanese fighter jets appeared in the distance in the sky.
Therefore, Hu Biao realized that in the next battle, they would have to rely on themselves for everything.
