Chapter 713: Air Battle Outside Beiping (Part )
8 J-5 fighter jets and 24 machine guns unleashed the most powerful firepower at the Japanese aircraft group.
These shells formed an extremely dense firepower network, which directly enveloped the Japanese planes, just like the net of heaven that is vast and nothing can escape it.
After completing the first wave of launches, our eight aircraft, just like the tactical moves they had trained countless times in daily life, directly pulled up and climbed towards the sky above the Japanese aircraft group as easily as pulling onions out of dry land.
They would leave after finishing a wave of attacks without even looking at how many Japanese planes were hit by their artillery shells.
Just like the best swordsman, when he was about to kill the enemy, he would just miss it and not care whether his blow hit the enemy or not, and then escape.
Real men never look back to see the explosion.
The sudden encounter caught the Japanese aircraft group off guard. In the impression of these Japanese, apart from the possible Russian fighter planes in Manchukuo and the Kuomintang fighter planes in the southwest, the rest of the airspace was empty.
This carelessness and contempt eventually made these devils pay the price.
In the first wave of attack, two Japanese Zero fighters had their fuel tanks pierced, caught fire and exploded on the spot. Another four fighters and transport planes were damaged. Although their flying posture was slightly disordered, they could still continue to fly.
After such an attack, the Japanese planes did not dare to land right away. If their formation still wanted to land when there were enemy planes circling around, it would mean leaving their backs to the enemy, which was no different from seeking death.
When the Japanese formation turned back, they were extremely surprised to find that the eight fighter planes that had just attacked them had disappeared from their sight.
Very strong maneuverability.
The first round of confrontation lasted only a moment, and both sides, especially the Japanese, felt like they were walking on a knife's edge.
However, on the ground these troops seem to be of great significance.
When the two sides started firing, Li Yunlong, a group of officers from Hebei, and even all the Eighth Route Army soldiers in Hebei all looked up at the battle situation in the sky.
In their view, it was just a face-to-face encounter, and two Japanese fighter planes were shot down before they even had time to open fire.
This is simply gratifying.
There was a burst of cheers from our troops on the ground. If it were not for the suppression of military law, many soldiers would have wanted to excitedly shoot a few volleys of bullets into the sky to express their joy at the moment.
From our perspective, the Japanese lost two fighter planes in just one encounter, while we were unscathed. This was a complete crushing defeat.
For the Japanese soldiers in the city of Peking, it was really hard to accept. They didn't expect that two of their most proud Zero fighters, whose maneuverability was even better than that of American aircraft, were shot down without a single shot being fired.
This dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the Japanese.
If anyone was the most surprised among these parties, it would probably be Shiro Nakagawa, the leader of the Japanese flying formation. He knew clearly that not a single shot had been fired on his side.
Because they simply didn't have time to launch.
This is a very strong opponent.
This puts them under tremendous pressure.
The entire Japanese flying formation was on high alert at this time, always paying attention to the possible angles from which the eight fighter planes might appear.
Soon, the Japanese discovered the figures of 8 fighter planes again. These 8 fighter planes dived towards the Japanese flying formation from a very high altitude.
High hit low, hit idiots.
Like the most elite falcon in the sky, it attacks the defenseless chickens on the ground.
The Japanese fighter planes wanted to climb, but they found that their brains could react, but the planes they were flying could not react at all.
Both sides made a mistake.
This time the J-5 opened fire at a much closer distance, and the Japanese could only watch their planes being hit. Their maneuverability was simply not enough to allow them to pursue.
After another strike, he fled far away.
This time, the Japanese had 4 fighter planes and 1 transport plane shot down.
After this second round of attacks, the Japanese flying formation had begun to become scattered and was unable to provide effective protection for the transport aircraft.
The Japanese leader, Shiro Nakagawa, decisively issued an order, requiring all fighter planes to tie down the enemy's fighter planes and allow the transport planes to land quickly to avoid unnecessary losses.
All the Japanese fighter planes moved forward and took the initiative to look for the traces of these eight new fighter planes.
We also responded quickly, sending out two fighter planes to hunt the transport planes preparing to land, while the other six fighter planes tracked the remaining Japanese fighter planes.
The Japanese formation of 24 aircraft included 12 fighters and 12 transport planes. They had no idea that they would be sniped by the Eighth Route Army's fighter planes during the transportation process. After two rounds, the Japanese only had 6 fighters and 11 transport planes left.
At least in terms of numbers, they can no longer gain an advantage over us.
For the Japanese now, it is to tie down our fighter planes as much as possible, so as to provide a time window for the transport planes to land.
However, now that things have come to this, how can we let these little devils get their wish?
Next, it’s time for the real hunt.
The two J-2s began to hunt down the Japanese transport planes with their powerful speed and maneuverability advantages. It was almost a one-sided situation, especially the transport planes that were in landing state. Several of them were directly blown up in mid-air on the spot.
Especially the Japanese soldiers on the ground who were watching this air battle, they watched helplessly as their fighter planes were blown into a fireball, and then exploded into pieces that fell to the ground.
Logically speaking, this transport plane has fulfilled its duty of transporting equipment to the city of Peking. No matter how it landed, you can just say it didn't arrive.
As the head of the flight formation, Shiro Nakagawa was furious. He could only watch the Japanese transport planes being blown up one after another, but he was powerless to do anything.
Even now it itself has become a target of hunting.
This feeling of powerlessness instantly swept over Shiro Nakagawa. In previous battles, he had always brought this feeling of powerlessness to the Chinese army. Now this feeling of powerlessness finally fell on him, and this feeling almost suffocated him.
In another head-on confrontation, the Japanese tried their best but only damaged the wing of a J-5. This was the only result the Japanese achieved at the cost of a Zero fighter.
But that's all.
Seeing that the locust army around him was getting smaller and smaller, Shiro Nakagawa also became a little bloodthirsty. At this time, he no longer paid attention to the artillery shells fired from other directions. He focused all his attention on the J-5 closest to him and began to charge.
The devil's idea now is very simple. Even if he dies, he must take a J-5 with him as a burial companion.
It has completely fallen into madness.
