Chapter 314: The Death of the Sea Eagle (Part I)
As the distance between the two sides drew rapidly, Takatsuka prepared to launch a hedging attack, believing that with the two 20mm cannons on his wings, he could give the opponent a fierce blow beyond the range of the Shina plane.
"These air forces would never have imagined that they would encounter such a fierce attack." At this time, Takatsuka felt sincerely proud and proud that he was able to fly the most advanced fighter plane in the Japanese Empire.
He had already discovered that the other side was a formation, and the four single-engine planes were supposed to be a small team, and these fighters were guarding a twin-engine plane in a neat formation behind the side, Takatsuka could not identify the model of the medium-sized aircraft, but looking at this kind of battle, the plane either had very important cargo or carried very important people.
"It doesn't look like it's a reinforcement from the Chinese army, but I didn't expect to encounter a big fish." Takatsuka couldn't help but get excited, if there was an important person in the Shina government sitting on the plane, then he would have made a great contribution this time.
"Maybe you can get a sixth-level Golden Bird Medal, or even a fifth-level medal." Flying Cao has already begun to dream. But dreams are dreams, who doesn't have a little pursuit, Takatsuka is not a reckless and unintelligent pilot, otherwise his superiors would not have appointed him as a detachment sergeant, commanding this valuable squad, on the way to approach the enemy army, he constantly thinks about what tactics should be adopted, how to catch these unlucky people who broke into the battlefield.
The distance has been shortened to a thousand meters, and the other party is not blind, and Takatsuka's team has already been discovered. What puzzled the Japanese Hizo at this moment was that the reaction of the other side was somewhat different from that of the Shina Air Force that he had encountered in the past. In the past, when the Chinese Air Force formation was intercepted by a Japanese plane, it would often choose to gather all the escort forces to pounce and entangle the Japanese plane, creating an opportunity for the protected medium plane to evacuate. But this time, the other party did not make the slightest movement, and still maintained a neat formation, seemingly completely ignoring the Japanese machine that pounced.
"Let's take out the escort plane first, but what kind of fighter is that?" Takatsuka struggled to find the type of aircraft that corresponded to the enemy plane. The single-engine fighter on the opposite side has a distinct characteristic, with a single wing and a single engine. The diameter is an air-cooled engine at first glance, and the wingspan is larger than any kind of fighter jet encountered in the past, so it should not be a model supported by Lu Guo.
At this time, the opponent is about to enter the maximum range of the cannon, Takatsuka has no time to think about other problems, the current task is to find a way to shoot the opponent down, and the answer to the question is to have time to explore it slowly.
Takatsuka held the joystick steadily, his eyes firmly fixed on the aura in the Type 98 reflex sight in front of him, and soon put the enemy plane in front of him in the middle of the crosshair. The other party seemed to realize that Takatsuka's intentions were not good at this moment, and Takatsuka noticed that the other party's formation had changed somewhat, and the original formation of four planes side by side began to separate to both sides. In Takatsuka's opinion. The other party's performance is a little ridiculous, it is already close to this distance, and it is too late to do anything.
"Sinai (Die)!" Takatsuka announced loudly to the other party, and then squeezed the shooting handle on the throttle lever tightly.
The Zero fighter has a unique design, its shooting trigger is not set on the joystick, but mounted on the left-hand throttle stick, the pilot must hold the joystick with one hand and hold the throttle stick with the other to shoot, the machine gun and the cannon are divided into two triggers, which are controlled by the button at the top of the throttle stick and the grip on one side.
Two 7.7 mm machine guns in the upper part of the nose spewed flames at the same time as two 20 mm cannons in the wings. The trail of tracer bullets was not very noticeable in the scorching sun, but the smoke from the burning of the gunpowder still marked the trajectory of Takatsuka's trajectory. The corners of Navy Feicao's mouth already showed a sinister smile, in his opinion, under the attack of this kind of firepower, the opponent must be in danger.
"One machine" didn't wait for him to spit out the word "crash" proudly. Immediately, I was stunned by the scene that happened in front of me. At the moment when Takatsuka opened fire, the plane on the opposite side suddenly made a barrel roll of 360 degrees, just dodging from Takatsuka's line of fire.
"Nani! Masaka! Takatsuka exclaimed, but the distance of hundreds of meters in the high-speed hedge came in an instant. Before Takatsuka could react further, the unknown fighter who made a miraculous maneuver had already passed by the Japanese plane a few meters away from Takatsuka's side of the Zero Battle. The stirred air currents actually made the light Zero War tremble violently.
"Dead country!" Takatsuka hurriedly stabilized his car, and he turned his head to look behind the mech, trying to get a better look at his opponent. Grass green Chinese Air Force livery, white striped identification bands on the rudders, flat nose under a single wing, and a dorsal fin running from the cockpit canopy to the tail.
"It should be Hawk75 (Huo. G-75, the export version of the U.S. P36 fighter, was introduced by China in 38. )! Although it was only a quick glance, Takatsuka was confident that he had already identified his opponent's identity.
"There is no fixed landing gear, it must be the latest type of retractable landing gear, those damn Mi people." Takatsuka judged that perhaps China had purchased a new plane from the Americans, which was another big discovery, and he had to alert his superiors when he returned.
"Very powerful Pyrot, is it the trump card of the Chinese army." Takatsuka has already thrown away the idea that he can easily win, and it is impossible for him to be able to make the kind of maneuver he just made with a Hawk plane, and it is likely that he will suffer a big loss if he is replaced by a pilot who does not know the depths.
Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered his wingman, and quickly turned his head to look around, up and down, left and right, and when he found that the two wingmen were still firmly following behind him, Takatsuka finally breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he had already determined that the pilot on the opposite side of China was a formidable opponent that he had never encountered, so what kind of identity would be the object of protection by this ace. Takatsuka deflected the fuselage and began to look for traces of the medium-sized plane, and soon found that the twin-engine plane was evacuating not far from his rear in the direction of Chongqing.
"Yaxi, then let's kill this important target first." Takatsuka made a decision in an instant, and while the group of escort planes had time to turn around, he could rely on the excellent performance of the Zero fighter to shoot down the opponent's protected medium aircraft first.
Making this kind of decision, Takatsuka did not have a sense of revenge hidden in it, and the original shot that was nine out of ten finally failed, making the proud Fei Cao feel disgraced in front of his subordinates, so he decided to take back the city by killing the opponent's protection object. So in the cabin, he made a gesture to the wingman to follow the attack, and Takatsuka turned the nose again and gave full throttle to chase the twin-engine plane.
"I think I've seen a similar model somewhere. It must be another cutting-edge aircraft bought by the Chinese army from abroad, and this discovery must be reported to the higher authorities afterwards. ”
Takatsuka was sure that the twin-engine plane belonged to the Chinese Air Force, as it also had the same Chinese Air Force standard grass green livery, and the tail was painted with the Chinese Air Force's signature white identification stripe, but strangely like the fighter just now, he couldn't find the round blue sky and white sun insignia. This discovery made Takatsuka more sure that the other party must be on an extremely important mission, so he tried to conceal his identity by covering the emblem. However, this camouflage technique is a little too clumsy, thinking that you will not be able to recognize your identity if you erase the machine emblem, the Chinese have an idiom called covering your ears and stealing bells, and Takatsuka, who is conceited and has a lot of knowledge of Sinology, pouted and shook his head at the corners of his mouth.
Zero-WAR XI roared towards the mysterious medium-sized plane. By this time, he could see the full shape of the opponent, with its slender fuselage and sleek airfoils, and a gleaming glass cockpit canopy, and the opposing crew was using two machine guns at the rear of the cockpit to shoot at him.
"I always feel like I've seen it somewhere." Takatsuka felt like a picture was flashing through his head, and he was sure he must have seen the plane in front of him somewhere. Leave him alone, since it is an aircraft of the China Air Force, it is his own enemy. Takatsuka adjusted his stance and shook his wings a few times, motioning for the wingmen to follow his track. Start launching a series of assaults on the opponent.
The Takatsuka squad has participated in several actual battles before, and the twin-engine bomber of Lu Guo is among the achievements. Takatsuka aimed at the position of the engine on the opponent's side, and used the machine gun to perform several calibrations, and Takatsuka could clearly see a series of sparks from the opponent's wing that were ricocheted.
But just as Takatsuka was about to launch a fatal blow at the opponent with a cannon. Something unexpected happened to the Japanese. The twin-engine medium-sized plane in front of him, under the eyes of three Japanese naval pilots, suddenly pouted its tail and began to dive down at an almost vertical angle.
"Nanda is tired!" Takatsuka exclaimed again. Finally, he reacted very quickly, and immediately flipped over the fuselage, and immediately followed the medium plane into a dive.
"Is the Chinese man dying? Or was there an operational accident? In the rapid dive, Takatsuka was empty, and Cao's mind was full of doubts. This was not the normal maneuver of a medium-sized aircraft, and the strange behavior of the other party began to make Takatsuka feel a little uneasy. Soon Takatsuka found that the opponent's dive speed was too fast, and in the blink of an eye, he left Zero Far behind, and from four thousand meters the plane rushed all the way down at a very steep angle as if it were a suicide, and after a while, the height of Kung Fu fell to three thousand meters, and it seemed that it was still accelerating, and there was no sign of re-pulling at all.
"Exceeding the limit, oops." Because of the high speed, Takatsuka's Zero Battle had already begun to tremble violently, and he struggled to grasp the joystick, trying to control the flight attitude.
"No, no." Seeing that the speedometer had reached 320 knots, Takatsuka felt that it was difficult to control the action of the plane, so he had to retract the throttle and pull the control stick hard to slowly level the plane.
"It's a pity, it's a big fish sitting on it." Takatsuka watched helplessly as the medium-sized plane quickly disappeared from his sight.
"Mikami, Yaxi." Takatsuka sighed, looked back for his wingman, and saw that Mitsuka's landline was still following behind, Takatsuka nodded with satisfaction.
"Hiramoto Hiramoto?!" Turning to the other side of the cockpit, Takatsuka didn't see his other wingman.
"Oops." Takatsuka's heart tightened, and he hurriedly searched up and down, left and right, but still found no trace of the No. 14 aircraft piloted by the third-class air Cao of Hiramoto Politics.
"Gershaw! (Brute)" Takatsuka punched the cockpit canopy on the right side hard, turned the fuselage sideways and began to hover in the air, as the commander of the squad, his subordinates disappeared for no reason, and there was no way to explain to his superiors.
Just as Takatsuka was worriedly searching for his missing subordinates, he suddenly felt an inexplicable palpitation, as if some huge threat was approaching him. Takatsuka raised his head sharply and looked upward, and suddenly several pitch-black shadows appeared in the dazzling sunlight, and they were now diving straight towards him.
"Abunai! (Danger)" The hairs on Takatsuka's back stood on end, and he quickly pulled the joystick and pedaled the left rudder to begin to climb in reverse.
"Mikami!" Takatsuka hadn't forgotten his remaining wingman, but when he looked back, he found that Mikami and Sora hadn't had time to keep up with his reaction this time.
By the time Takatsuka found the figure of Zero Combat piloted by Mikami, the wingman was still hovering in his original position. Next, Takatsuka couldn't take care of this subordinate, because his Zero Battle was shrouded in a dense rain of cannonballs. The graceful wing was torn in two in an instant, a series of fist-sized bullet holes were punched in the back of the fuselage, and the fuel in the wing fuel tanks was instantly ignited, and Takatsuka's plane immediately turned into a rapidly tumbling fireball. The wreckage of Zero Battle, along with the pilot who was killed on the spot, spat out raging flames and fell rapidly, and then exploded into a cloud of pieces in mid-air because the belly fuel tank was detonated.
