Bright Sword Military System

At Chengde Airport, the "Haste" fighter jets of the Japanese 240th Fighter Squadron lined up in several queues and took off from the runway one by one.

Colonel Akihara Jiro is the captain of the 240th team. He looked at the ground crew outside the window expressionlessly, and then with his gestures, he controlled the fighter plane to enter the runway and then flew steadily into the air.

Akihara Jiro circled the airport in the air and received the news that the 240th team had all taken off. So he pulled the nose of the plane and entered the formation to fly towards Huludao.

"Your Majesty Colonel!" Not long after the team set off, a squadron leader asked in fear: "We shouldn't encounter the Eighth Route Army's new fighter planes, right?"

Akihara Jiro was silent for a while and then replied: "Don't worry, Yamagishi-kun, the Eighth Route Army's new fighter planes do not have such a long range. What's more, if the Eighth Route Army's new fighter planes take off, we will receive the news immediately! So... as long as we don't receive Once you get the news, you’re safe, do you understand?”

"Yes!"

In fact, Akihara Jiro is not sure about this, which is also what Akihara Jiro is worried about.

As we all know, the range problem can be solved by transferring. Even if the Eighth Route Army's new fighter planes have a range of only [-] kilometers, they can fly to Zhoushuizi Airport to land, refuel, and then take off for combat.

The reason why Akihara Jiro answered like this was because as a commander, he understood that there was no use in telling his subordinates these concerns.

But it only increases their worries and lowers their morale!

But Jiro Akihara knew in his heart that it was only a matter of time before they encountered the Eighth Route Army's new fighter jets... This was a fight for air supremacy in the sky. Unless the empire did not want air supremacy and hid all the fighter planes, it would be a matter of time before they faced off against the enemy planes!

In other words, they can live one more day.

The only thing that can reassure Akihara Jiro is that the empire has deployed several intelligence points in Xingjing and from Xingjing to Huludao. As soon as the Eighth Route Army's new fighter jets take off... these intelligence personnel will send the news to the headquarters.

If we haven't received any news yet, it means that the Eighth Route Army's new fighter planes haven't taken off yet!

What Akihara Jiro didn't expect was that the Eighth Route Army's "J-2" had already taken off.

The reason why the Japs took off is that the Eighth Route Army implemented signal shielding on Xinjing... and it was only implemented before the "J-2" took off. Therefore, although the Japs intelligence personnel saw the Eighth Route Army's "J-2" taking off, they could not do anything about it. Get the word out.

After taking off, the "J-2" quickly climbed to an altitude of [-] meters. This altitude was already above the clouds and could not be seen by ground intelligence personnel with the naked eye, and then rushed to Huludao at full speed.

Wang Xuexin also calculated the time:

The Japs took off from Chengde Airport and rushed to Huludao, which is 270 kilometers away. At the same time, they generally do not fly at full speed... flying at the highest speed consumes more fuel. Unless the war situation is urgent or tail-biting in close combat, they generally will not do this.

At a speed of 500 kilometers per hour, 270 kilometers will take about half an hour.

The Eighth Route Army's "J-2" took off from Xinjing, 450 kilometers away from Huludao. Including take-off, climb, acceleration, etc., it took almost half an hour to arrive at a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour.

Then the Japanese "Haifeng" fighter plane will be surprised to find that the two "encountered" over Huludao.

Moreover, this time Wang Xuexin dispatched all six "J-2"s in one go.

This is mainly because we have learned the lesson from the last four "J-2"s that were short of ammunition...Four "J-2s" can actually achieve greater results against the forty Japanese "Haste", but it is more because of the lack of ammunition. Shoot down more targets.

There are now six more than two dispatched before, and overall the ammunition is much more sufficient.

Wang Xuexin also deliberately lowered the speed of the "J-2" a little.

Because he hopes that the "J-2" can arrive at its destination one step slower than the Japanese "Haifeng", so that the "J-2" can fight a well-prepared battle and achieve greater results.

Wang Xuexin took this step in the right direction.

As soon as the Japanese "Haifeng" fighter jets arrived on the battlefield, they immediately jumped into battle and chased the Eighth Route Army's "La 5" fighter jets.

At first, Akihara Jiro didn't think anything was wrong. Although "Pull 5" was fast and difficult to catch up with, as long as he was skilled enough and could grasp the target's movements in advance and corner at a large angle, he could still catch up and knock down the target. , he used this method to shoot down two enemy planes one after another...

But as he continued to fight, Akihara Jiro realized something was wrong. The "Pull 5" became less and less effective and it didn't take long for them all to leave the battlefield.

The subordinates cheered, thinking that they had successfully driven away the Eighth Route Army fighter planes.

But Akihara Jiro knows that this is not the case.

This is his analysis:

First of all, the results of the Eighth Route Army were much greater than those of the "Blast".

In the few minutes of contact, the "Hast" team shot down a total of five "La 5"s, but the "La 5" shot down three "Hasts" and seven more bombers.

It is obviously cost-effective for the Eighth Route Army to continue fighting like this. Although the seven bombers are the old "97 Ship Attack" and "99 Ship Explosion", the number plus the loss of pilots cannot be calculated by the cost of the aircraft, not to mention the cost of the Eighth Route Army's "pull 5" Not high either.

Secondly, the Eighth Route Army has never been an army that retreats when it is at a disadvantage. They will fight until the last moment.

So why did they leave the battlefield?

Is it because Huludao’s air supremacy is not important?

of course not!

Is it because "La 5" lost to "Hast Wind"?

Obviously not!

That is……

"Silence!" Jiro Akihara shouted to silence his subordinates' cheers.

He looked around cautiously and found nothing.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the sound of the wind and the rumble of the engines of our own fighter planes.

Akihara Jiro felt something bad... When this happened, it was probably because the Eighth Route Army's new fighter jets had arrived, and "Pull 5" withdrew from the battle in order to allow the new fighter jets to free their hands and feet to fight.

The squadron leader also asked doubtfully: "Your Majesty Colonel, what's going on?"

"Get ready to fight!" Jiro Akihara shouted: "It's probably a new type of fighter plane of the Eighth Route Army!"

Akihara Jiro's words made the pilots nervous for a while, but they still didn't believe it. The squadron leader replied: "Your Majesty Colonel, we have not received a warning from the command..."

At this moment, several black spots suddenly swooped down from the sun, followed by a burst of "bang bang" noises. Four fighters were shot down and injured at the first moment... Two of them lost their balance on the spot and fell downwards. One aircraft had its engine damaged and was puffing out black smoke. Another aircraft had its pilot injured by fighter jet fragments and was calling for help on the radio. The aircraft could barely maintain its balance.

Akihara Jiro could no longer care about this. He shouted an order: "Everyone, fight and deal with it individually!"

Jiro Akihara knew that when facing such a fighter plane with a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour, any command was meaningless, so he simply let his subordinates fight on their own!
