Two hundred and fifty-six chapters candle dragon - the fourth stage (2)
——Yan'an Secret Airport
This is a basin in a mountainous area. It has been secretly constructed since the time when the Air Force was decided to be established. It has become a place that can accommodate hundreds of fighter planes, with oil depots, underground hangars, control towers, dormitories, ground support centers and other facilities.
Complete airport.
The person in charge of the Air Force at this time was Liu Yalou, who had returned to China after studying in Germany.
Liu Yalou and other hundreds of pilots who have been training in Europe and the United States for a year, although they have not been in Germany for a long time, are extremely hardworking. Without much education, they firmly believe that practice makes perfect, and the stupid bird flies first. In Germany, as long as you can get on the plane, you will fly as much as possible.
, as long as they can practice more practically. In addition to the courses given by the German instructors, they also get together with each other every night to discuss and study. In the morning, before the Germans have even gotten up, they have already begun to train their physical fitness. These pilots don’t know
Before they knew it, most of them had more than 300 hours of flying experience. This was partly due to Weihua Company, which kept paying for their training.
Since returning to China, it is impossible not to be excited when looking at the brand-new aircraft that I have never seen before. However, in order to cooperate with the overall situation and at the same time to hone their own proficiency with new aircraft, everyone is holding back.
I hold my breath and wait for the day when the organization and the party call me.
The day has finally arrived.
Liu Yalou looked at the telegram in his hand in disbelief, and slapped him hard. The severe pain made him almost jump with joy. He quickly pressed the button next to him, started the radio and said, "Attention all staff, all
Attention staff, everyone should return to their designated positions and act according to plan No. 3. This is not a drill. I repeat, this is not a drill."
Liu Yalou, who had finished speaking in accordance with the regulations, finally couldn't bear it and shouted, "Comrades, it's finally time for us to take the stage. The Japanese planes are raging on our land. I order you to resolutely eliminate them!! Throw away the little Japanese planes."
Get out of Shanxi!"
Since the war started, all pilots and ground staff have slept with their clothes on, and many pilots have even slept on the plane. If it weren't for the fact that eating, drinking, and defecation could not be solved on the plane, I don't know how many people would have even slept there.
The plane won't even get off.
Well, as soon as the order was received, the First Fighter Group consisting of thirty MiG-3s took off first, followed closely by the bomber group consisting of twenty SU-2s, which flew behind the First Fighter Group.
With.
All the ground crew and other pilots waved their hats and shouted, cheering for the Eighth Route Army Air Force's first expedition. Looking at the crowd that was gradually blurring out, Wang Hai, a young pilot of the First Fighter Group, let out a soft breath.
, although it has been flying in the sky for hundreds of hours, and even this new aircraft, which is affectionately called "Xiaomi" by everyone, has been flying for dozens of hours, after all, this is the first actual combat, so it is not necessary to say that I am not nervous.
possible.
Wang Hai looked at the wingman beside him. He was a pilot named Jiao Jingfu, who was from Hebei. It was said that he had a younger brother at home, who was also very young, but in his early twenties. Wang Hai looked back at his comrades behind him.
I can't help but feel more confident. With my comrades by my side, I am not afraid of any difficulties no matter what.
——Pingyao
While Wang Hai and others were still rushing to Pingyao, the Japanese bombing brigade had already arrived.
The Japanese aviation force was organized into a team system. A team had three squadrons, with 24-36 aircraft depending on the type of aircraft. At this time, the first one to arrive in the sky over Pingyao was a bomber team, with models of 97 light explosive and
97 heavy explosion, thirty-six bombers rushed towards Pingyao in a dense formation.
In the Pingyao County Government, He Long pointed at the map and said, "Our anti-aircraft guns are deployed at various key points in the city, and all the cannons are hidden in various public buildings. These are our capital for the next battle, and we must keep them."
"Commander, the Japanese plane will arrive in three minutes. Let's go into the air-raid shelter." Peng Shaohui hurried in and said.
"Why are you so anxious? Dozens of planes can't kill me, He Long. Have all the people been moved?" He Long took a puff of cigarette and said indifferently.
"After we occupied Pingyao last night, we started to let the people leave. Most of them have already left. There are only a few who refuse to leave no matter what. We also let them enter the air-raid shelter." Peng Shaohui said, wiping his sweat.
It was said to be an air-raid shelter, but in fact it was just some emergency shelters dug out in just one night. More soldiers withdrew from the city, and they just planted more flags and scarecrows at the top of the city to deceive the Japanese.
He Long nodded, walked out of the room, saw the black dots that had appeared on the horizon, and said, "Everyone, please be patient a little longer. The military has sent out our air force. This is their last act of arrogance."
More than thirty Japanese planes soon arrived in the sky over Pingyao. Looking at the quiet Pingyao City, Lieutenant Colonel Toshio Kato, the captain of the Japanese aviation bomber team, was a little confused. Normally when seeing so many Japanese planes, the people below would be panicking and running away.
It looked like a group of Chinese soldiers holding light machine guns against their own planes. When had it ever been so quiet? It was as if they were fighting an empty city.
Lieutenant Colonel Toshio Kato shook his head and said, "Attention, squadrons, something is wrong below. The first squadron will attack the tower, the second squadron will be on guard, and the third squadron will spread out to bomb the surrounding key points."
The Japanese planes immediately separated, one group bombed Pingyao from the south gate, one group looked around for valuable targets, and the other group was high up, overlooking the battlefield.
Most of the Japanese planes carried ten small bombs weighing 12.5 kilograms, and a few carried a large bomb weighing 250 kilograms. The target of such a large bomb was solid fortifications such as city walls.
"Hit!" An order was transmitted along with the radio waves to various anti-aircraft artillery units. More than a dozen anti-aircraft guns and more anti-aircraft machine guns fired at the same time. A Japanese soldier who had just made a dive was instantly blown up in the air. There were two more.
All three were ejected with black smoke and kept flying into the distance, trying to escape from the battlefield.
"Baga, there is indeed an ambush. Change the target and blow up all the Chinese anti-aircraft guns!" Kato Toshio commanded immediately. The Japanese planes immediately dispersed, in groups of two, and dropped bombs on the 120th Division's air defense troops under cover.
The flying skills of the Japanese planes were very high. I saw the Japanese planes constantly making tactical maneuvers such as rolling and turning sharply. One of them lured the Eighth Route Army's air defense troops to shoot, and the other took advantage of the neutral position to swoop down and drop ten bombs at once.
After the explosion, it immediately flew high in front of the air defense troops to act as a decoy for other aircraft to bomb.
A fierce battle between the air defense forces and the Japanese planes began, but the air defense forces could not move after all. Half an hour later, the Japanese planes successfully blew down the South City Gate. Smoke billowed throughout Pingyao City, and the Japanese planes were also shot down.
After seven or eight fights, many were injured. Kato Toshio saw that they were almost done, and then ordered a retreat.
At this time, Kato Toshio suddenly saw several airplanes that he had never seen before in the corner of his eyes. He only saw that the airplanes were painted silver-white, with two huge red stars on the wings of the airplane, representing their identities.
What looked like small bombs were hung under the wings of the plane. Kato Toshio felt that the speed of the plane was extremely fast, like a rampaging knight. Compared with this plane, the 97 Light Explosion he was driving was like a bloated bomb.
Fat man.
Red five stars, these are the Soviets!! Kato Toshio cursed the damn Soviets for causing trouble again, while shouting on the radio, "Everyone, be careful, this must be a secret fighter plane of the Soviets, everyone throws away everything they can."
Throw it away, and the soldiers in the rear position will be on defense. If you hold on for fifteen minutes, our army's aircraft will respond."
Indeed, Pingyao is very close to Taiyuan, and fifteen minutes is enough for the Japanese planes to rendezvous.
"Attention all fighters, three squadrons are attacking from the left and right respectively. Our planes are much better than the Japanese planes. Everyone, stay calm. There will be no problem. Let's start!"
Wang Hai listened to the captain's order, gritted his teeth, and once again increased the speed of the aircraft. The maximum dive speed of the MiG-3 can be close to 700 kilometers, and the horizontal speed is also close to 500 kilometers. If the aircraft does not use the maximum speed, even
It can reach 520 kilometers. The 97 can only reach a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour. This huge gap allowed Wang Hai and others to quickly catch up with the escaping Japanese plane.
The 97 Light Explosion is not without combat capabilities. Two 7.7mm machine guns allow it to fight in the air at critical moments. What's more, some aircraft also have a machine gun on the butt, making its defense stronger.
Wang Hai was familiar with the performance of the Japanese aircraft. When he saw the Japanese aircraft turning around and trying to fight with him, he immediately used his speed advantage to spin behind the Japanese aircraft. The Japanese aircraft accelerated crazily towards Wang Hai, who was behind him, but the speed gap was huge.
It was too big. Wang Hai looked at the butt of the Japanese aircraft in the cross with excitement, and pressed the shooting button hard. The 12.7mm machine gun instantly sprayed out a fire whip, and the fire whip hit the butt of the Japanese aircraft hard, and then
Seeing that the Japanese plane's tail was broken into two pieces, the Japanese plane's wingman wanted to come to the rescue, but was too slow to catch up with Wang Hai, who was escaping. Instead, he was almost hit by Wang Hai's wingman.
The MiG 3 brigade of Wang Hai and others used their speed like light cavalry to constantly weave in and out of the Japanese bombers, like butterflies flying in the flowers. Every time they weaved in, several Japanese planes would fall.
Kato Toshio's brain was about to explode. He never thought that he would be attacked like this in the sky over Shanxi. As of now, he has not seen any of that strange plane be shot down. Although his bomber,
But this ratio is really scary.
"Our planes, reinforcements are coming! Reinforcements are coming!" Suddenly the radio was filled with shouts of joy, which were the shouts of the survivors. Thirty-six fully equipped battleships arrived, and now there were only a few left.
There were no more than a cross, and many others were injured. More than half of the Japanese planes had already died.
"What kind of plane is this?" What came was the main force of Japanese fighter jets, which were Type 97 fighter jets.
The Type 97 fighter is faster than the 97 light explosion and can reach 460km. However, the Type 97 fighter has the same fatal weaknesses as other Japanese aircraft, that is, weak firepower and thin armor. Although the combat performance is better, such weaknesses make
MiG 3 can continue to use the tactics just now.
"Everyone listen to the order and use dive tactics!"
Listening to the captain's order, Wang Hai looked at the dozens of Japanese planes that were rushing towards him. Especially when he saw that the Japanese planes that had escaped originally turned around and wanted to fight with more and less, he roared excitedly and turned the plane away.
It pulled up high. Other Eighth Route Army fighters also pulled up their planes. The ceiling of the Type 97 fighter was only five thousand meters, while the MiG 3's ceiling was 12,000 meters. At the same time, the MiG 3's motor
More powerful, the metal fuselage brought from later generations made its defense much greater than in history. When the Japanese aircraft saw the MiG 3 being pulled up, they also wanted to pull it up and kept firing, but they were soon far away.
Behind them, hundreds of meters away, their bullets had no accuracy at all.
At about 4,000 meters, the distance between the two aircrafts had reached 400 to 500 meters. The Japanese aircraft was obviously struggling. Wang Hai began to turn around and dive down. The thirty fighter planes were like thirty sharp arrows.
He rushed into the group of Japanese aircraft that were still trying to raise their fighters. With one order, all the fighters fired two RS-82 rockets at the same time, and then fired bullets at the Japanese aircraft.
The Japanese planes looked at the sparking thing in front of them in horror, but their intuition told them that it was not a good thing. Several Japanese planes did not avoid it, and the rockets directly hit the fighter planes. The huge explosion caused other Japanese planes to
The Japanese planes were stunned. Just one rocket turned a Japanese plane into a fireball, and there was no chance to parachute.
The sharp arrow flew past, followed by the wreckage of twelve or thirteen Japanese fighter planes.
Wang Hai and others pulled up the plane again, and this time the belly of the Japanese plane was exposed in front of them. Wang Hai pressed the machine gun button with a grin, and the fire whip reappeared, cutting off the Japanese plane in front of them again.
The Japanese army was influenced by the spirit of bushido and the lack of natural resources on the other hand. From fighter planes to tanks to battleships, the weapons of the Japanese army all have a common characteristic, that is, they despise defense. It seems that in the minds of the Japanese army, they are the only ones
If you attack others, no one will ever attack them. This kind of weapon thinking will make them suffer a lot in future battles.
——Taiyuan Airport
Listening to the battlefield report, Tokugawa Yoshitoshi could not believe that the Army Air Force, which he should be proud of, was so ravaged by a group of Soviets. Could it be that the gap between the Empire and the Soviet Union was so big?
"Your Excellency, Commander, we have lost more than forty fighter planes, and the enemy has only lost two. If this continues, we will not be able to bear it." A staff officer said hurriedly, "We suggest that the Soviet Air Force be lured to us immediately.
Above the anti-aircraft firepower, use the defensive advantage to attack it."
Tokugawa Yoshitoshi held his ancestral katana and said, "Do this immediately. In addition, fly as many fighter planes as you can. I want to encircle and annihilate this Soviet air force!"
The battle between the Eighth Route Army Air Force and the Japanese Air Force continued, and the battle line was gradually drawn into Taiyuan.
Looking at Taiyuan City not far away, Wang Hai narrowed his eyes and dived down again. The Japanese planes were defeated by this simple tactic. Finally, the Japanese planes and the Eighth Route Army planes chased and escaped.
Over Taiyuan Airport.
"Fire!!" Wang Hai was surprised to find that many fireballs appeared around him, which were shells fired by Japanese anti-aircraft guns.
Although the Japanese army never thought that their airport would be attacked in Shanxi, they still equipped the airport with a garrison brigade. This brigade was equipped with anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns. Regardless of the fact that there were many Japanese planes in the sky, the Japanese army fired frantically at the air.
, with the potential to completely defeat the Eighth Route Army’s air force.
"Great, we finally found their airport. Bomb the first team, bomb the first team. I am fighting the first team. I am fighting the first team. We have discovered the location of the Japanese airport. Please get there as soon as possible." After that, the captain said.
"Shoot all the rockets into the enemy's anti-aircraft guns to create a safer environment for our brother troops behind." After saying that, Wang Hai saw the captain dive down first in a spin.
Six rocket rounds were fired at an anti-aircraft gun point of fire.
Tokugawa Yoshitoshi was dumbfounded as he watched the unknown aircraft fire a series of fire bombs, and then his own anti-aircraft gun was blown to pieces. When has a bomb been dropped and the bomb must have burned first?
