At the moment of turning, the huge maneuvering overload made Logan feel dizzy.
But Logan, who has more than ten years of driving experience, is not nervous because of this. He knows how to deal with this kind of dizziness, that is, don't trust your eyes but trust your feelings.
Logan even took advantage of this moment to make a brief report to the headquarters: "The Falcon started to dive, the altitude is 6500 meters, that battalion commander better be right!"
Halsey, who was listening to this on the aircraft carrier, understood the meaning of Logan's words. Logan was worried that he would not have time to report later...or it could be said that he would not be alive to report.
"This guy!" Halsey said to the staff: "He gave up the chance of survival to try this!"
Ryan nodded in agreement.
Logan is an experienced old pilot. His plane just met the enemy head-on. With his experience and driving skills, he did have a chance to shoot down the enemy.
But now...
Logan took the initiative to let the enemy bite his tail. Life or death depended on whether the Chinese battalion commander's deduction was correct.
"Height 5000 meters!"
"Height 4000 meters!"
…
Logan was controlling the aircraft in irregular curves while looking left, right, and behind... In principle, the pilot could not see the enemy aircraft biting his tail behind him, so he could not observe the dive performance of "Zero War".
.
The observation was originally supposed to be done by Jason, but Jason flew to who knows where.
Later, Logan learned that Jason panicked because his tail was bitten by "Zero War" and stopped following Logan to try to get rid of the tail.
So Logan had to rely on himself.
Logan was doing a wide-angle maneuver while diving. The moment the nose of the aircraft turned, he could see the "Zero War" following behind him.
What makes Logan feel a little strange is that the originally very flexible "Zero War" seems a bit clumsy at this time, and its movements are always half a beat slower than Logan's and sometimes even tend to break out of contact...
This greatly increased Logan's confidence, and he reported: "General, I think he is right, the enemy aircraft does have problems when it dives!"
Halsey, who was waiting nervously on the other side, quickly asked: "What's the problem? Tell me clearly!"
"I'm not sure!" Logan replied: "Their plane seems to be more difficult to control..."
Then Logan stopped talking, because the enemy plane had already opened fire at him, and strings of bullets flew past the fuselage of the "Wildcat". Logan felt that a few bullets hit the fuselage because he heard some strange things.
.
Logan pressed the nose of the plane and dived toward the ground at a larger angle and faster speed. The altitude only dropped two thousand meters when he found that the plane behind him had been thrown away.
Logan immediately pulled up the nose of the plane and climbed, because he knew that only by maintaining altitude could he make the next dive, and thus have a chance to escape the pursuit of "Zero War" again.
At this time, Logan heard Jason yelling in panic: "Major, I can't get rid of it..."
As he was talking, he saw Jason's "Wildcat" above his head being closely chased by a "Zero". Logan made a prompt decision and flew the fighter plane to catch up immediately...
Predicting that Jason's fighter plane was about to dive, Logan used a "shortcut" to cut into Jason's flight path and successfully bit the tail of the "zero battle".
This time Logan saw clearly that the "Zero War" was indeed very clumsy when diving, especially at high speeds. To be precise, it was not clumsy, but unstable, just like a slightly drunk person walking with slight irregularities.
It seemed like the pilot was trying hard to control the fuselage, and the speed was much slower.
This allowed Logan to catch up with it easily, and then fired a round of bullets. The "Zero War" fuselage was shot into pieces, and then the engine emitted black smoke and tilted to the side.
Logan looked around again. The other "Zero Fighter" must have discovered other "Wildcats" coming for reinforcements, so he stopped fighting and turned around to escape.
"He's right, General!" Logan reported as he looked at the Zero Fighter that plunged into the sea: "This kind of aircraft is extremely unstable when diving. We have found its weakness!"
The headquarters was filled with joy. Halsey said excitedly: "It seems like it, Logan! You're off to a good start! Also, remember what you did today, I need you to explain every detail to the other pilots!"
"
"Yes, General!"
When the news reached China, Wang Xuexin was browsing the seizure status of mines and factories sent from the headquarters.
This time the Eighth Route Army achieved great results, seizing a total of seven iron mines and nine copper mines, corresponding to 13 iron and copper smelting plants.
Except for three of these thirteen smelting plants that suffered major losses due to being blasted and set on fire by the Japanese during the battle, the rest were only lightly damaged. That is to say, most of them fell into the hands of the Eighth Route Army intact and took only a few days or a dozen to complete.
Repairs will be carried out in a matter of days and production will be resumed immediately.
The reason why most of them are "minor damage" is actually related to the Japanese.
At this time, the Japanese troops were seriously insufficient. Most of the people stationed in the factories were puppet troops. Some factories only had one Japanese squad leader and one or two assistants who were injured and inconvenient to fight... The Japanese were making full use of their manpower. They took those who were lame.
Disabled soldiers with broken hands were sent to factories to do accounting, statistics and other tasks. On the other hand, these Japanese soldiers were also used to intimidate the puppet troops.
The disabled soldiers can actually intimidate the puppet troops!
Wang Xuexin didn't know what to think when he heard this situation.
The result of this was that as soon as the Eighth Route Army gained the upper hand on the battlefield, the laborers in these factories, including those who worked worse than death under the bayonet, began to rebel.
For those who did not dare to rebel, when the Eighth Route Army officially attacked, the chaos inside them was already out of control.
So the Japanese had no time to blow up the factory.
Some factories did issue orders to "blow up the factories," but the explosives were replaced by loess by the puppet troops.
The puppet troops were not stupid. They knew that they should do their best to "make meritorious service" at this time, so as to win "lenient treatment" from the Eighth Route Army.
What's more, they are in the factory themselves. The Japanese can "loyalty to the empire" together with the factory, but the puppet troops don't have to do this.
There was no need for Wang Xuexin, the battalion commander, to know about these things.
But the chief said this: "Dayun City is Xiaodongbei's plan, and he should know the results. What's more, the more he knows, the better he can grasp the overall situation, and he can make better, more and more timely proposals.
Just a suggestion!"
Wang Xuexin was a little helpless and regarded him as a staff officer.
At this moment, he heard Sun Erwei and Davis shouting:
