Not enough, even if it is an extension of the turret, the control range of the bomber is large enough to make people excited.This situation has attracted the attention of various countries, and the development of bombers has generally been paid attention to, but they have focused on land-based bombers, which has virtually reduced the importance of carrier-based aircraft.Unlike countries that attach importance to heavy bombers on land, among the naval reports received by Japan, there are reports that the opponent's bombers are comparable to fighter jets.

For aircraft that use dive bombing and torpedo attacks, it is still difficult for Japan's weak technical force to achieve, but the design ideas can be planned.In such a naval report, Japanese aviation designers believe that in the future fighter jets will be canceled and their missions will be replaced by bombers.Therefore, the Navy's dive bomber, torpedo aircraft development, and integrated fighter functions have been proposed.

In this first battle of the pure air force against the navy, the information obtained by each country is relatively one-sided, so the development direction is different.Because of the lack of intelligence, the aircraft development of various countries has also taken a lot of detours, but in this battle, the real battle is not over yet.

On the same day that the Japanese navy's undeclared war was announced, the air force in Beiji Province was also dispatched.In the early morning, the four West Air Force divisions temporarily assigned to this direction took off from more than a dozen field airfields.

Under the command of the ground instructor, Gao Zhihang, the commander of the No.11 Fighter Division, divided the three regiments under his command into two fleets, covering the Sixth Heavy Bomber Division, the Seventh Heavy Bomber Division, and the Tenth Light Bomber Division. The teachers rushed towards their targets respectively.

The 31st and 32nd Fighter Regiments, led by Gao Zhihang himself, covered the sixth and seventh bomber divisions and flew over the border first, rushing towards Vladivostok.

"I found a fleet of West Special Army aircraft, the number of which exceeds 200, the speed is [-], and the direction is northeast. The estimated target is Vladivostok." After the huge fleet entered the Japanese army's control area, it was discovered by the front-line army, and the telegram was quickly sent Go to the Governor's Mansion of the Far East and hand it over to Yomichi Hasegawa, the Governor of the Far East of Japan.

Seeing this information, Yomichi Hasegawa gasped. He didn't expect that the other party would dispatch such a huge air force without even saying hello. This seems to be inconsistent with the daily practice of the Western Special Zone.In addition, Haodao Hasegawa was also secretly shocked. He did not expect that such a powerful air force could be formed without making any noise in the Western Special Zone.

"Immediately notify the Air Force and take off all fighter jets to fight." Hasegawa didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately issued an order. The third and fourth air forces stationed in the Far East and the Koryo Peninsula quickly took off and greeted them in the direction of Vladivostok.

According to the establishment of the Japanese Air Force, an air force has about the same number of aircraft as a division of the West Air Force, but because the Japanese Air Force was founded, there are not so many aircraft to equip, and there are not many pilots.Thus there were only 130 aircraft in total in the Third and Fourth Air Forces.Among them, the Third Air Force is equipped with 83 A-type III fighters, and the Fourth Air Force is equipped with 47 A-type IV fighters.

The maximum level flight speed of the Type A Type 232 fighter jets of the Fourth Air Force reaches 163 kilometers per hour, which is a bit higher than the top speed of the Type A Type [-] fighter jets of [-] kilometers per hour. However, the Fourth Air Force is stationed in Pyongyang, and they need to go to Only after refueling in Vladivostok can we rush to the war zone, which is much farther than the Third Air Force stationed in Vladivostok, so the first wave of combat can only be the Third Air Force.

The Type A Type III fighter is the first land-based fighter to be put into active service in Japan. It is an imitation version of the Newport 24 fighter in Gaul. It uses a 120-horsepower HP engine and has two 7.7mm Vickers machine guns. Combat is still pretty good.

However, Japan's Type A Type III fighter is still a biplane with a wooden structure after all, which is much worse than the J-2 fighter with an all-metal upper-wing structure of the West Air Force.Gao Zhihang's keen eyesight of a sharpshooter is called clairvoyance, and he discovered the enemy's situation as early as more than ten kilometers away.

After seeing the Japanese fighter jets approaching, Gao Zhihang immediately notified Zhuang Yilin, the commander of the sixth bomber division, and Ma Enxi, the commander of the seventh bomber division, asking them to march towards the target separately under the cover of a brigade, while Gao Zhihang On the other hand, he led the main force of the fighter group to raise the altitude and directly confront the enemy.

Gao Zhihang knew very well in his heart that he only had 48 fighters under his command now, and the opponent seemed to have twice as many fighters as himself, so he had to strike first.Dazed by the sun, Gao Zhihang showed a smile on his face: "Everyone obeys orders, raise the height, and we hide in the clouds."

"Master, the enemy is right ahead, we can't avoid the battle, what if the bomber fleet is attacked?" a pilot asked.

Gao Zhihang said: "Execute the order, you guys will fight it later." Although Gao Zhihang is the youngest major general in the Air Force, no one will question his order by virtue of his over 48 kills. The [-] fighters quickly raised their altitude and gradually disappeared into the clouds.

Because of the structural problems of the fighter jets, the Type A Type III fighter jets had poor vision, so the Japanese Air Force did not find the West Air Force just now.The bombers made a detour to the target, but the Japanese army didn't notice it. They still rushed towards the southwest at the fastest speed.

The Japanese Air Force passed under the clouds at a speed of more than 100 kilometers per hour, and rushed forward desperately. These rookies who were on the battlefield for the first time did not even know the vigilance that the Air Force should have in operations.Seeing that the opponent had already passed, Gao Zhihang immediately led his subordinates through the clouds, and flew towards the rear of the Japanese army at the speed of a dive.

Gao Zhihang took the lead, and his fighter jets quickly locked on to the last Japanese plane that was slowly advancing.When the ugly fat tail of the Type A Type [-] fighter was covered by the optical sight, Gao Zhihang decisively pressed the machine gun button, and the crossfire of the four machine guns left the Japanese pilot with nowhere to hide.

Chapter 961 Fighting in the Sky

The tail of the Japanese fighter jet was shattered, and the rest of the plane plunged down.Seeing that the division commander had already made a move, other pilots took action one after another, firing fiercely at the rear of the Japanese army, and Japanese fighter jets fell one after another like kites with broken strings.

The captain of the Japanese Air Force knew that he was attacked when he heard the sound of machine guns. He turned his head to see the enemy clearly, but the morning sun happened to be coming from the east. See the situation clearly.

In desperation, Captain Wa had no choice but to order everyone to leave the route and fight on their own, and turned around to start an air battle with the opponent.Using the sunshine and the tactics of surprise attack from behind, the West Air Force shot down more than 20 Japanese planes from the very beginning, and the disadvantages were basically brought back.

Although the number of aircraft of the Japanese Air Force still dominates, the gap in performance and personnel quality is too great. Those recruits from the Japanese Army have no combat experience at all when they first enter the battlefield, while many of Gao Zhihang's pilots have participated in the Western Continent. In the air combat, its ability is superior.

Gao Zhihang's performance was the most outstanding. He took the lead and rushed into the enemy group with his wingman, beating the Japanese army in a panic.The Seat Air Force quickly gained the upper hand and swept the enemy quickly.

The speed of the Japanese aircraft is too slow, and if they turn around and escape, they will definitely be shot down very quickly. The Japanese pilots are very aware of this, and now they have no choice but to show their bushido spirit and entangle with the West Air Force to the end.Just when Gao Zhihang led a group of fighter jets to hunt down the Japanese aircraft, another air battle just started in the air more than 30 kilometers away.

After the two bomber divisions separated, the sixth division moved to Shuangchengzi, which was the second largest settlement in the Far East after Vladivostok, and also the largest industrial base, with many valuable targets.They encountered no obstacles because they deviated from the route to Vladivostok.

The 81 bombers of the Seventh Division, under the leadership of division commander Ma Enxi, were covered by ten fighter jets and headed towards Vladivostok.When they were still [-] kilometers away from Vladivostok, Ma Qian, the captain of the escort team, suddenly found a Japanese plane approaching.Ma Qian knew that victory was just around the corner, so he didn't dare to be negligent. While reporting the situation to Ma Enxi, he led all the fighters to meet him.

The opponent that Ma Qian took the initiative to meet was the Fourth Air Force of the Japanese Army who was a step behind because of the long journey.Because the distance was too long, and the plane's fuel was limited, he was half an hour later than the Third Air Force's take-off.After landing at Vladivostok Airport to refuel and reload their bombs, they took off to face off. Unexpectedly, they happened to stop the bombing fleet of Vladivostok.

Seeing the black and dense fleet on the opposite side, the captain of the Japanese Air Force felt a little tingly, but his mood soon improved.As the distance got closer, he found that this large fleet was all bombers, and the number of fighters was only a handful.At this time, ten fighter jets from the West Air Force were already oncoming, bravely rushing towards 47 Type A Type [-] fighter jets.

Faced with nearly five times as many enemies, Ma Qian was not cowardly at all. He immediately ordered all planes to fight in a double formation to disrupt the enemy's formation.Adhering to the training of instructor Saar, the three-aircraft formation used by the Japanese Air Force, this inflexible combat formation greatly restricted the tactical actions of the pilots, so they were disrupted by the West Air Force as soon as they came up.

The Japanese Air Force, which was broken up, fought on their own, and rushed towards the West Air Force with a large number of three-aircraft formations.From the perspective of Japanese pilots, the opponent only had ten planes, and it only took 10 minutes to solve them all.It is not too late to attack the bombers until all enemy fighters have been shot down.

It's a pity that they didn't expect that although the fighters of the two sides had similar maximum speeds, the turning flexibility and body strength of the biplane wooden aircraft could compete with the metal aircraft with a single-wing layout.Seat Air Force pilots can turn with a small radius, and they are not afraid that the aircraft will not be able to withstand strong stress under large maneuvering overload. .

The Japanese planes are like clumsy bears, and they can't take advantage of such a dog fight. The two sides are in a stalemate. Although two fighter jets of the West Air Force were shot down soon, the Japanese Air Force lost five.The Japanese commander found that something was wrong, and continued to fight like this. When they shot down all the planes of the West Air Force, Vladivostok was probably flattened.

In desperation, the Japanese commander immediately ordered the four fleets to withdraw from the battle and chase the West Air Force bomber fleet that was getting closer and closer to Vladivostok.Under the entanglement of the opponent's superior force, Ma Qian had no way to do it. Apart from reminding Ma Enxi that the danger was approaching, he could only ask Gao Zhihang, who was tens of kilometers away, for help.

Ma Enxi was the first to receive a warning from Ma Qian, but he was not worried about it.Under Ma Enxi's order, all the bombers of the [-]th Heavy Bomber Division began to form dense formations, using airborne self-defense weapons to cooperate with each other to make up for the dead spots of the aircraft.

The heavy bomber unit of the West Air Force has already changed its equipment. They are no longer using the old H-1 bombers, but H-3s.

As the follow-up model of the H-3, the H-1 bomber inherits the four-engine layout.After receiving the participation of many aircraft designers from the Teutonic Kingdom and the drawings of a full set of Zeppelin R series bombers, the Sikorsky Design Bureau optimized the design to create the most powerful heavy bomber today.

The H-3 bomber is 22 meters long and has a wingspan of 42 meters. It uses four Zhonghua 4 nine-cylinder radial piston engines, and a single engine reaches 190 horsepower.Because of the surging engine power, although it is still a biplane design, the speed of this bomber has reached [-] kilometers per hour.This aircraft can carry two and a half tons of aerial bombs, and each has an Air-Type [-]mm caliber machine gun on the nose, back, belly and tail as self-defense firepower.

With the existence of these self-defense firepower, as long as the bomber fleet adopts a dense formation, it can interweave machine gun firepower into a fire net.The Japanese army's twelve A-type IV fighters were caught off guard, and they were hit head-on as soon as they approached the bomber group. Two planes were shot down before they could dodge.

The two sides launched an air battle over Vladivostok. Because Japanese fighter jets were entangled, the bomber fleet could only form a self-defense formation and it was difficult to launch a bombing attack.Knowing through the communicator that the battle between the two sides was stalemate, Gao Zhihang was very anxious. The air battle is still quite fierce. Although the Japanese army only has 37 planes left, their resistance is getting more and more fierce.The West Air Force was not without casualties. Now Gao Zhihang has only [-] fighters left. Although the pilots have all parachuted, whether they can be rescued is another matter.

Chapter 962 Fighting Against a Strong Enemy Alone

Gritting his teeth, Gao Zhihang used his stunt, and the plane he was flying immediately seemed to come alive.I saw Gao Zhihang's plane flying up and down, like a nimble swimming dragon, and the burst shots over 400 meters were able to accurately hit the Japanese plane, and its accuracy was no less than that of a sniper.

This kind of tactics was slowly realized by Gao Zhihang in previous air battles after he shot down the Red Baron.Now Gao Zhihang can easily use such a technique, but it consumes a lot of energy. Even with Gao Zhihang's strength, he cannot persist for more than 10 minutes.And once he persisted for more than 8 minutes, Gao Zhihang's spirit would be greatly consumed, and his combat effectiveness would probably drop sharply afterwards.

Even with such sequelae, it is still an excellent master operation. It took Gao Zhihang only 5 minutes to shoot down all [-] enemy planes, and many pilots who watched were dumbfounded.Heaving a sigh of relief, Gao Zhihang got rid of the state of highly concentrated mental power, and calmly said into the microphone: "Okay, if you don't have enough fuel, return immediately, and the others will follow me and continue to move forward. The sky above Vladivostok needs support. "This time no one objected. When they looked at the commander's plane, their respect had turned into admiration.

Ma Qian's situation became more and more difficult. Although under his care, none of the eight surviving planes were shot down, and they also killed four Japanese planes, they still couldn't escape to support the bomber fleet.Under the continuous attack of the Japanese army, one of the bombers had already been shot down, and the huge explosion almost turned half of the sky red.

"Attention everyone, all get away from the Japanese fighter jets and go to support the bomber fleet. Remember to attack the enemies who besiege the bomber planes. Even if the enemy catches up to the tail of the plane, they are not allowed to turn back and fight." Ma Qian planned to sacrifice himself and rescued the bomber fleet.He had already received Gao Zhihang's call just now, and he knew that the main force was on its way, as long as he could delay for a while, even if his own brigade was completely wiped out, he could still delay until Gao Zhihang arrived.

The military order fell like a mountain, and no one insisted on Ma Qian's order. The other seven pilots got rid of the enemy without hesitation, turned around and rushed towards the Japanese army's besieging bomber fleet.Ma Qian didn't look back, he turned the nose of the plane single-handedly, and rushed directly to the Japanese aviation captain.

In the previous battle, Ma Qian had already discovered the location of the opponent's command plane.Although the Japanese plane is not yet equipped with a communication system, and the command plane cannot effectively command in the air, he knows very well that if he shoots down the opponent's commander, it will have a great blow to morale, so the Japanese plane will not let him do so.

In order to attract the opponent's fleet and prevent it from following the other seven planes, Ma Qian launched an almost suicidal attack.He wanted to attract the main force of the Japanese air force at the cost of his own life, even if it was only for a short while, he could buy enough time for his companions.

Ma Qian's large maneuver shock shocked the Japanese pilots. They never expected that the formation of a lone plane on the other side would dare to be so arrogant and directly attack the command plane with the escort.No orders were needed, the other planes gathered in a panic, vowing to shoot down the provocative Ma Qian.

The West Air Force, which has been in the army for more than ten years, has produced a large number of elites. To be able to achieve the position of captain, Ma Qian's unique skills will definitely not be too weak. After all, he also has six kills on the battlefield in the Western Continent. The ace pilot ah.

In today's battle, Ma Qian has shot down three Japanese planes, and now he is only one step away from the double ace.In the last step, Ma Qian decided to target the commander of the Japanese army, the aviation captain with good aircraft technology.

The aviation captain of the Japanese Army is not mediocre either. Although it was his first time on the battlefield, this top flying pilot who was hailed as a genius by Saar's instructor also had a few brushes.Seeing Ma Qian rushing towards him, he immediately swung the joystick to meet him.

Ma Qian smiled slightly, it was very easy to deal with this kind of rookie who just came out of school and made every movement very standard, even if this rookie was one of the better ones.A lateral pull followed by a small radius turn, Ma Qian used two sideways rolls when there was no time to send, avoiding the stream of bullets fired by an escort aircraft.

While doing evasive movements, Ma Qian did not relax in chasing the air captain at all.His plane was like a dancing elf, turning into a wisp of smoke in the air, miraculously avoiding the attack of more than a dozen Japanese army planes, and biting the car of the Japanese army aviation captain.

Facing this formidable opponent, the captain of the Japanese Army Air Force broke out in a cold sweat.Originally, he hoped to bite the tail of the opponent's plane in one fell swoop and shoot down this reckless guy.Unexpectedly, before I saw what was going on, I was already bitten by the tail of the plane.

Knowing that the end is near, the aviation captain used all his skills, rolling, rolling over, and snake-like maneuvers. He used all the stunts at the bottom of the box, but it was difficult to get rid of the opponent's pursuit, even if other escort planes tried their best to cover.

Keeping close to his opponent, Ma Qian aimed at the tail of the Japanese aviation captain, and at the same time pressed the button of the machine gun hard.The captain of the air force was also a little tricky. The moment the opponent started shooting, he suddenly made a slow-down dive, and the bullet flow slid past the upper wing, narrowly avoiding being hit.
