Kosugi Jiro is the commander responsible for implementing the air blockade of Duolun County.
During this period, Kosugi Jiro has been very careful, because except for the twenty "Feiyan" fighters under his command, the rest are all Type 97 bombers. The Type 98 bombers can easily destroy these old fighters, and there are even a few that were acquired from the Northeast Army.
There were several aircraft seized there whose model could not even be identified.
(Note: After the September 18th Incident, due to the non-resistance policy implemented by the Northeast Army, the Japanese seized 260 aircraft from the Northeast Army)
Kosugi Jiro knew what was going on... The Eighth Route Army Air Force had not gone to war, and the Imperial Army's fighter planes could not break into the Eighth Route Army's air defense system, so they could only use this method to lure the Eighth Route Army into war.
However, does this tactic really work?
Even if it works, the Eighth Route Army will go back immediately after going out, right? By then, BF109 will have time to come to help?
In fact, that's not what Kosugijiro complained about. The reason why he complained was because he didn't like being used as bait by his superiors.
If possible, he would prefer to be the type of pilot who hides in the dark and prepares to hunt down Eighth Route Army fighter planes.
At this time, the fighter plane flew near Duolun County. Xiaoshan looked at Duolun County, which was more than ten kilometers away, and reported to his superiors step by step: "Everything is normal, no enemy transport convoy was found..."
At this moment, several planes suddenly swooped down from a high altitude. Kosugi Jiro was startled and shouted immediately:
"Enemy plane, prepare to fight!"
"Requesting reinforcements!"
…
Before Kosugi finished speaking, Colonel Harada on the other side ordered: "Don't be obsessed with fighting, find an opportunity to withdraw from the battlefield!"
Only then did Kosugijiro remember that their mission was to lure enemy fighter planes into the airspace away from the city, so he immediately ordered: "Leave the battlefield and take them out!"
However, the "Feiyan" fighter plane is not very suitable for performing this task, because its speed is not as fast as the "La 5", so it is easy to be bitten by the "La 5" when retreating... If these twenty "Feiyan" are compared with
If the "La 5" fights head-on, it may be on par with the "La 5". After all, the speed difference between the "Feiyan" and the "La 5" is not big, and the Japanese pilots have better flying skills, so the "La 5"
It can only be a tie with him.
But now the "Feiyan" was on the run and "La 5" was chasing after it. As a result, the "Feiyan" was shot down one after another.
Just when Kosugijiro was heartbroken, reports from his subordinates came one after another on the radio:
"The First Squadron was attacked by enemy fighter planes, requesting reinforcements!"
"The Third Squadron encountered an enemy plane and requested reinforcements!"
…
Kosugi Jiro quickly used the radio to report to his superiors: "The Eighth Route Army Air Force has launched a full-scale attack. Where is our BF109?"
"Hang on!" Colonel Harada replied: "They will arrive soon!"
At this time, the BF109 fleet had already taken off from Chengde in an emergency.
The straight-line distance from Chengde to Duolun County is only more than 100 kilometers, and it only takes ten minutes to get there at the speed of BF109, so Harada is not wrong in using the word "immediately".
Leading BF109 is Major Moriyaiji. He has fifteen years of experience in flying fighter planes. He has flown almost all types of fighter planes in the empire. He has fifty-three downed aircraft in his hands. He can be said to be the elite of the imperial pilots.
.
Major Moriya was very confident about this mission because he had carefully studied the two fighters, the BF109 and the "La 5", and even referred to many records of the air battles between Hans and the Bear.
Finally, he came to a conclusion: "If the Eighth Route Army's La-5 fighter planes dare to go into battle, they will become the targets of our massacre!"
Major Moriya has his own reason for saying this. The top speed of BF109 is 60 kilometers per hour faster than that of "La5". In addition, the empty weight of "La5" is 20 kilograms heavier than that of BF109... This is a bit incredible. "La5"
It has a wooden body and is actually heavier than the metal body of BF109.
But this is actually nothing surprising. The BF109 uses high-strength thin aluminum plates and precision die-casting parts. This is a manifestation of the advanced level of Hans industrial technology. Therefore, although it has a metal body, it has better flight performance, structural strength and other advantages.
, the weight can also be lighter than "La 5".
Therefore, Major Moriya said to his subordinates: "If you can't defeat the Eighth Route Army by flying this kind of plane, you can go home and have children!"
The subordinates laughed loudly.
(Note: The Japs' "go home and give birth to children" is not a joke. During this period, most of the Japs' men were fighting outside. There were too few domestic males to ensure reproduction, and they even had the bad habit of "night crawling". As for what "night crawling" is
, Brothers can search on Baidu by themselves)
Therefore, when Major Moriya flew the fighter plane into the sky, he always maintained a relaxed attitude. He even couldn't wait to see the enemy fighter plane.
but……
Major Moriya said: "We may not be able to see the enemy fighter planes! Will they escape like last time?"
The subordinates burst into laughter again.
But at this moment, Major Moriya saw some black spots in the clouds ahead.
Shouwu took a closer look and immediately judged from its appearance that it was an Eighth Route Army "La-5" fighter plane.
"Get ready for battle!" Major Moriya shouted excitedly: "At two o'clock, they are coming!"
Major Moriya immediately climbed up in his fighter plane. This was the standard tactic for the battle between BF109 and "Pull 5"... BF109 was faster than "Pull 5". As long as it was not dived from top to bottom by "Pull 5", it would be basically invincible.
place.
This is what Major Moriya learned after studying the air battle between Hans and the Bear.
But this time, Major Moriya miscalculated...
Just as he was still trying to climb with his men, there was a burst of explosions from both sides without warning, and then several fighter planes were beaten and plummeted to the ground with black smoke.
"What's going on?" Major Moriya was shocked and immediately made evasive movements at a wide angle with his hands. Then a missile caught his sight and exploded nearby.
Major Moriya secretly thought that it was a dangerous situation. If he hadn't escaped quickly, the blow just now would have ended his life.
But... Major Moriya looked at the enemy plane and saw that it was still at least two or three kilometers away.
In other words, the enemy can launch missiles from two or three kilometers away?
Moreover, this kind of missile is obviously different from the air-to-air missiles used by the Eighth Route Army before. It is faster and more powerful.
Major Moriya had fought against the Eighth Route Army before and knew the level of air-to-air missiles used by the Eighth Route Army before.
Major Moriya failed to discover the most critical point, that is, this air-to-air missile has no wire.
However, this was not to be blamed on Major Moriya. The wires were already very thin. Moreover, we were still in the middle of a tense air battle. When his life was hanging by a thread, he did not have much energy to observe whether there were wires.
"New type of missile!" Major Moriya called loudly on the radio: "The Eighth Route Army is equipped with a new type of missile!"
