So, as Iwamoto Tetsuzo expected, when they swooped and chased after C47, five "wildcats" crossed the Japanese army's blocking fire and viciously bit the tail of Iwamoto Tetsuzo and others......

A dense ...... of bullets quickly poured down from the "Wildcat", and I don't know if it was the long distance or the poor gun skills of the enemy machine, or it could also be said that Iwamoto and others were experienced in maneuvering, and they successfully dodged these bullets by using the rotation of the fighter plane and a small swing from side to side.

But when the gunfire stopped, Iwamoto noticed black smoke rising from the wing of Kaichi Matsushima, who was on his left flank, and a fire was ignited...... It's an armor-piercing incendiary bomb, Iwamoto looked at Matsushima Kaiichi, that is a subordinate who has followed him for three years, and the cooperation between Iwamoto and Matsushima in the air can be described by the word "tacit understanding", so to speak, Iwamoto's contribution is inseparable from Matsushima.

But now......

Matsushima also knew that his fate was about to end here, and that was the case with the Japanese fighters, although they had the advantages of flexibility and long range, but as long as they were hit by a few bullets, it was very likely to cause an irreparable situation. Just like now, Matsushima has to wait for death to go.

Iwamoto saw Matsushima trying to control his plane, but the plane eventually wobbled out of control. In the end, Matsushima apparently gave up, so he turned his head sideways to look at Iwamoto, saluted Iwamoto from afar in the cabin, and then plunged downward......

The sound of machine guns behind him rang out again, and Iwamoto gritted his teeth, skillfully maneuvering the fighter plane to make evasive maneuvers in the bullets.

If it had been according to his fighting style, Iwamoto would have ordered the troops to withdraw from the battle a long time ago.

Unlike other Japanese pilots, most of whom would give up their lives for the sake of the so-called bushido spirit, Iwamoto felt that was a stupid act...... This kind of behavior is reasonable if it is on land, but it is used in pilots, you must know that pilots rely on flight experience and technology to fight, and a pilot with rich combat experience should naturally survive on the battlefield as much as possible, so that he can shoot down more enemy planes in future battles and play a greater role.

Because of this, his teammates would say that Iwamoto was a "coward" behind his back, but Iwamoto didn't care, he firmly believed that he was right.

However, this time, Iwamoto had to hold out until the last moment, he always remembered that when they were about to leave, General Koga Mine personally came to see them off, and said to Iwamoto: "Iwamoto-kun, I must emphasize that your goal this time is to defeat the Chinese generals who have defeated our army again and again, and its importance is even comparable to sinking an aircraft carrier...... If it succeeds, the spirit of Yamamoto Fifty-six will also rest in peace! ”

Although Koga Mine did not say it explicitly, Iwamoto knew that at this time, Koga Mine mentioned Yamamoto Fifty-six, and his intention was to mean that if he could succeed this time, he would be able to kill Yamamoto Fifty-six in shame.

This makes Iwamoto a little unbelievable, which Chinese officer can compare to an aircraft carrier or even Yamamoto's fifty-sixth general?!

But at this time, Iwamoto didn't have the heart to think about this, because at this time, the C47 had already appeared in front of his eyes, and it quickly entered the range of fire. Just as Iwamoto was about to shoot a bullet at the target, suddenly layers of black mist appeared in front of his eyes to obscure his vision...... The body of the C47 is also black.

"Bastard! Anti-aircraft gun......" Iwamoto Toru scolded, but he still fired a shuttle of bullets.

The bullet hit several bullet holes on the C47 that Zhang Chi was riding, and these bullet holes were inconspicuous to Zhang Chi and the others, because there were already such bullet holes everywhere near them.

But what Zhang Chi and others didn't know was that if the anti-aircraft gun was launched one and a half seconds late, it would not be as simple as leaving a few bulletholes on the C47.

Iwamoto didn't know if he had hit the target, he only knew that the other two Zeros that were following him had disintegrated in the sudden anti-aircraft fire, and his fighter plane also had some problems, the left wing was blown off by shrapnel, which made it difficult for the fighter to keep balance, so Iwamoto knew that the mission had failed.

According to the thinking of ordinary Japanese soldiers, if their subordinates have been killed and wounded, and their own planes have been injured, they should drive their fighters to rush to the enemy ships for a final attack.

But Iwamoto gritted his teeth and chose to withdraw from the battle.

As a result, Iwamoto miraculously piloted the wounded Zero fighter and flew for more than three hours in the Pacific Ocean without any reference before finally returning to the base.

Of the eight Zeros participating in this operation, only Tetsuzo Iwamoto survived, which also caused him to suffer from the disease of his peers, but in fact, such pilots were the biggest threat to the Allies.

Seeing the Japanese fighters fleeing, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, including Zhang Chi and Wang Mazi, to be exact, they all picked up a life.

"Boy!" Wang Mazi's weak voice came from the walkie-talkie: "You saved half my life again!" ”

"Half-life?" Hearing this, Zhang Chi couldn't help but wonder: "Are you injured?" ”

The other side didn't answer, which only made Zhang Chi nervous for a while. After a while, a voice came from the other end of the microphone: "Report to the divisional seat, the military seat is not injured, but because of the tumbling just now...... The military seat is airsick, and now I'm throwing up again! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Chi breathed a sigh of relief.

When the new division was conducting parachute training, Wang Mazi was lazy and reluctant to participate, so it's no wonder that he is now airsick.

"Master!" Then Zhang Junhua's voice came from the walkie-talkie: "Our army has lost a total of six fighters, but the pilot confirmed that one was killed and one was injured, and the remaining four pilots have determined their positions and are being rescued, and it is estimated that there is no major problem!" ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Chi nodded.

This can also be said to be a great luck in misfortune, or it can also be said that this is a blessing thanks to the thick armor of the "Wildcat" fighters; just as in the past air battles between the United States and Japan, although the Japanese army shot down many American planes, the pilots lost much more than the US troops.

It was in this situation that the US pilots grew up, and now it is the turn of the 10th Air Group.

Zhang Chi hopes that this process will not take too long, and there will not be too many pilots who will be damaged.

"Master!" Then Zhang Junhua asked: "Can the plane continue to fly?" ”

"What if you can't keep flying?" Zhang Chi asked.

The C47 cannot land on an aircraft carrier.

"I mean...... You can skydive! Zhang Junhua said.

"Forget it!" Zhang Chi said with a smile.

Even if he is willing to leave the C47 skydive, Wang Mazi will not parachute.
