Battle of the Third Reich

Vol 5 Chapter 313: Bishan Air Combat (4)

As the scale of the Japanese aggression expanded, the fight for air supremacy between China and Japan became more intense. Both sides accumulated valuable experience in **** air strangulation, and sent a large number of excellent commanders and pilots. `But then the problem appeared. The cost of this growth was expensive. The lack of support from the Chinese Air Force soon exposed the shortcomings.

The melee wars that have continued for many years have led to the slow development of China's basic industry, which has fallen far behind Japan, the neighbor of the East. In China, where the foundation of the aviation industry is extremely weak, the Chinese Air Force is actually a tree without roots. The losses incurred during the war cannot be remedied by its own industrial strength.

At this time, the Chinese Air Force can be said to be an air force that was bought at a cost. All fighter aircraft are foreign products purchased at high prices. The Air Force has become a big fat in the eyes of some families. They don’t care what they buy. Whether the performance is excellent, they are only concerned about the sale of this weapon import, and how much rebate can be obtained from it afterwards.

At that time, due to the weak technical level and the backward production equipment, several aircraft manufacturing plants in China at that time could only manufacture some light-weight civilian aircraft with outdated performance and design. Even if it was used to spread pesticides, it might be difficult, not to mention adding armaments. Took part in the battle. In China, there are actually a lot of excellent aviation science and technology personnel with Western education, but because the technical research project did not get the financial support of the higher level, the aeronautical engineer eventually became an ordinary mechanic. During that time, I don’t know how many have been stubborn. Fen's technical talents finally turned into waste wood under the influence of officialdom.

Some people may say that in those documents, China’s motives and planes could be made by themselves at that time. Yes, you are not afraid of 8o horsepower. When you are 28o kilometers, you are not afraid. . . . The Japanese will never be afraid anyway. As for putting together a bunch of imported motives and parts and pieces to make an airplane, they shouted that the imitation was successful. This should be called good assembly. Even the steel pipes of the skeleton are imported from abroad, and the only domestically produced ones The outer layer is covered.

The army’s aircraft repair shop even messed up the most basic task of processing some parts by itself. After the spare parts purchased at random were used up, the new parts were still unknown. In the end, the east wall had to be dismantled to make up the west wall to ensure that the combat-ready aircraft could fight in the sky. `The result is that fewer and fewer intact aircraft are dismantled, and the aircraft to be repaired is full of tarmacs and warehouses.

As the war situation deteriorated, the loss of fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force became larger and larger. On the contrary, Japan, the opponent, can continuously obtain aircraft and personnel from the country. Not only that, the Japanese army also developed new models based on the experience of the battlefield. The Japanese aviation units on the Chinese battlefield soon occupied an absolute dominant position in terms of scale and equipment.

The training mechanism of Chinese pilots is not complete, the training conditions of the trainees are poor, and the battle situation is critical. At the beginning, the experienced flight veterans gradually lost their lives. The four famous kings of the Chinese Air Force have died in succession. Many have completed the formation training. The novice pilot flew to the sky with only one blood of courage, and then became a record of the Japanese old bird, and also lost a precious aircraft. However, the war will not wait for people, the more the lack of manpower, the more eager to send new people up, so a vicious circle has formed. In the end, he was completely hurt.

Although the Chinese government once obtained a batch of aircraft from the Soviet Union, its performance may not be among the best in the world, but it can also be comparable to that of the Japanese military aircraft at that time. However, compared with the losses in the previous stage, these supplements can only be regarded as salaries. At the same time, the quality of the pilots is no longer as good as when the war began. The quality of the combatants is uneven, and the military discipline has gradually disappeared. Although the morale is still high, but the upper class It is clear that the overall decline has undoubtedly revealed that the Air Force has basically lost the ability to recapture the enemy's airspace control from the Japanese.

In desperation, the Chinese Air Force can only change its strategy. From the beginning, the mutual offensive and defensive shifted to defensive local defenses. At the same time, in order to preserve strength, high-level government officials also issued strict orders, requiring pilots to avoid the enemy as passively as possible in the air. Unless it is determined that its own advantage in quantity and quality, fighters are not allowed to attack at will.

From then on, in most cases, the fighter battalion stationed in Chongqing could only choose to organize a chase when the Japanese bombing ended and returned, because if it was a bomber that intercepted and bombed frontally, the morale of the Japanese soldiers at sight was at its peak. . All of them were as if they were covered with chicken blood. At this time, the Japanese were able to do everything to complete the task explained by their superiors. Once the Japanese army stubbornly resisted, the Chinese Air Force will definitely lose, and the Chinese Air Force is now. Can't afford it. `

However, if the Japanese bombing was completed and returned, the situation was very different. At this time, the fuel left by the Japanese aircraft was not much, the adrenaline full of blood vessels gradually faded, and the fatigue after long-distance physical exhaustion began to appear. And because the task has been completed, the psychological basis for the Chinese to die is no longer there. And it is very important that the Japanese aircraft is in the retreat position, and the Chinese Air Force can directly seize the six position of the Japanese aircraft. It is very convenient for raids and sneak attacks. If the Japanese army wants to turn around and rebel, once the two sides are in a struggle, injured or excessive fuel consumption, it is likely to fly back, and most of the area on the bombing route is still under Chinese control once the plane falls The crew members were caught alive after their parachute jumped, but they had to be beaten alive if they were unlucky. This is not a big psychological pressure on Japanese pilots.

This eventually led to the bombing of the Japanese air force in Chongqing, whether it was a 6-way or HNA bomber. When returning to the home, when they encountered the Chinese Air Force’s rear-end, they were basically reluctant to fight back in clusters or maneuver. Escape, if you encounter a bad luck with a motive at this time, it will soon be beaten into scum. Most of the Chinese Air Force's record at that time came from this.

Leading the Zero Fighter Group at the tail of the high altitude with the nine six six attack team flying less than ten minutes, Jinto knew that the superior plan had been successful, just beside the bomber group, a huge fighter group appeared. Slightly below the height of zero war, charged towards the bomber group.

"Xiexi, finally came out." Seeing the Chinese aircraft group appeared, Jinteng was relieved. According to the plan originally formulated, he swayed the wings three times, and then led the three teams including him, including a total of ten zero battles and full horsepower in the direction of the Chinese fleet, and the remaining one remained at high altitude. Their mission is to act as a vigilance while intercepting enemy planes that have escaped through the net. This is also the experience that the Japanese army summed up from the last battle.

The battle on September 13 was actually a burst after the Chinese Air Force repressed for a long time, and originally wanted to rebuild the confidence of the Chinese in the war of resistance. But he didn't expect to hit a new plane driven by the Japanese army. Even if the Japanese pilots are a group of rookies, they are also highly trained rookies. At the same time, they are still driving an egg battle that completely crushes Chinese fighters in performance. Eventually, this battle caused a dozen Chinese air athletes to be bloodied. There are many elite pilots who have been fighting on the front line since the beginning of the war.

The result of this battle has a great impact on China's top management. Especially the extremely good-faced chairman, which he regarded as a humiliation to the country and his individual, so the high-level air force was severely reprimanded by him. Such a big person would not consider any performance differences on the head of the fire. The loss is regarded as proof of the Air Force's incompetence.

The Air Force actually held a sigh of relief in its mind. The battle was a scuffle from beginning to end. In their view, the Japanese fighters have excellent performance, but they are not invulnerable. At that time, the air force of the Chinese Air Force was attacked. In addition, the various air groups were not affiliated with each other, and there was chaos in command and coordination. As a result, continuous support was turned into a fueling tactic. The Japanese aircraft always had the initiative on the battlefield, but the Chinese Air Force pilots broke into the battlefield batch after batch without knowing the battle situation. The enemy who has the advantage of performance is defeated.

Looking back at that battle now, the number of Japanese fighter jets is actually far less than that of the Chinese Air Force, and from the previous eyewitness intelligence analysis, so far, when this new type of aircraft appeared, the number of the day has never been shown. There are only a few of these latest models. The supreme leader believes that if the Air Force can organize a sufficient number of aircraft. A targeted siege of this Japanese military aircraft, as long as the excellent air mobility of the aircraft in hand is used, it will certainly be able to give the Japanese a memorable lesson.

The leader’s orders must be obeyed, so when the early warning report of the attack on the Japanese bomber fleet came. The Air Force has once again gathered the forty fighters in hand at the Taiping Temple in Chongqing. However, the Air Force commanders are not very optimistic about the summit plan. They have learned the performance of the enemy aircraft from the survivors of the battle. The result is very frustrating. The Japanese have created such advanced Aircraft, but I still use the model designed ten years ago. The big difference in performance between the two parties can no longer be compensated by flight technology.

However, when they learned that the Japanese bomber group was attacking, the pilots still rushed to fight for superiors. There is no trace of the new enemy fighters in the early warning report. They estimate that they can at least win this group of 96 attacks that are not afraid of death. Come to pay tribute to the heroes who died before the war. So the last batch of forces of the three elite fighter groups of the Chinese Air Force was released on the day. What they did not expect was that this was actually a trap laid by the Japanese army against the Chinese Air Force. The original hunter had become a prey at this time. When they were rushing towards the Japanese bombers, they didn't know that their target was high above their heads, and attacked themselves.

Then a fierce air scuffle broke out. Zero-type fighters once again proved with facts that in the face of this fighter that is far from its own performance, the Chinese Air Force has no chance at all. In just two minutes, the formation of the Chinese fleet was dismembered alive, and each squadron The commander was completely lost, the long plane could not find the wingman, and the superior could not find the team. The pilots could only blindly rely on their instincts to fight each other, and the air was full of burning wreckage. The Zero War Team swiftly climbed and flipped on the battlefield, as if performing an elegant flight show. Machine guns and cannons sprayed a ray of flame from time to time, followed by a Chinese aircraft desperately dragging the fire.

Just as Jin Teng led his men to hunt Chinese fighters, the Takazuka squad staying in the sky was already impatient, watching their colleagues create the next record, but they only watched on one side. This is really a torment like punishment.

One by one, Takazuka Takashi waited for two Cao Cao to go around in circles, staring at the battlefield below, looking forward to being able to find several escaped Chinese fighter jets, so that he could open up. While Takazuka was scratching his heart and suffering, he suddenly had his wingman's third-class, first-ranking, second-ranking, and other empty Cao's landline appearing on the side of him, and immediately shocked Takazuka. Takazuka looked at the wingman with a dissatisfied face, but now the other party was desperately gesturing to himself, constantly pointing his finger upward in the direction of himself.

"Nan Da Ku Li wow." Takazuka looked puzzledly in the direction of the wingman's finger. I saw that in the west at the same height, there were several black spots moving slowly. There were no other Japanese aircrafts in the vicinity, so the identity of these planes undoubtedly belongs to the Chinese Air Force.

"Xaixi, it seems to be a supporter of the China Air Force!" Takazuka suddenly became happy, he gave a thumbs-up to the wingman, and then made a gesture to follow his actions.

Takazuka's Zero fighter turned lightly and led his two wingmen to face these unexpected visitors and charged.
