Of course, this was planned, and this plan was specially designed to avoid the bombing of Japanese fighters. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

As a matter of fact, the US radar crew searched for the location and even the speed of the Japanese aircraft group as early as 18 minutes ago, and transmitted these data to Zhang Chi's command......

The SC-type anti-aircraft radar on the US destroyer can theoretically detect a large aircraft group at a distance of 175 kilometers, but this is only the theoretical maximum detection distance, because the radar itself is unstable and unfavorable factors such as earth curvature and air refraction, it is good that the SC-type radar can detect a group of aircraft 100 kilometers away in actual combat.

This time, the U.S. destroyer detected the Japanese aircraft group at about 75 kilometers...... If the Japanese had known that the destroyer, which was scurrying around in the waters near the "Wolf's Horn," was detecting the situation of Japanese planes over the "Wolf's Horn" and reporting it to the "Wolf's Horn," they would have concentrated their firepower and sunk it with the wolf's pack tactics.

Because the flight speed of the Japanese fighters was relatively slow, with a speed of only more than 200 kilometers per hour, if calculated at this speed, 75 kilometers would take 18 minutes, that is, the Chinese troops still had 18 minutes to prepare.

But Zhang Chi knew that this time could not be calculated in this way, because when the Japanese approached the target, that is, the "wolf horn", they would speed up and dive down to attack.

So Zhang Chi immediately made a decision and immediately ordered to fire!

Hundreds of artillery pieces were pouring out shells in the direction of the Japanese troops, and because the shells were mixed with many smoke bombs, the sky over the Japanese positions was soon full of smoke.

A few minutes later, the troops of a Chinese regiment slowly advanced in a neat formation under the cover of the "Sherman" tank, and it did not take long for it to disappear into the smoke.

Michiyuki Yamada's timing was very accurate, and the timing of Zhang Chi's attack was also just right.

As soon as the Chinese troops and tanks broke into the smoke, the group led by Michiyuki Yamada swooped into the sky above the "Wolf Horn".

"We didn't find any enemy tanks!" Nakaju Shaozo shouted: "Maybe the Chinese have hidden them somewhere!" ”

"Impossible!" Michiyuki Yamada shouted: "The 'Wolf Horn' is only one square kilometer, and they have to deploy three regiments of troops, and they have no time or space to hide such a huge tank force!" Look closer! ”

"Yes!" Nakaju Shaozuo answered, and dived down again with a few fighters.

However, after making two turns over the "Wolf Horn", Nakai Shaosa reported to Michiyuki Yamada again: "Still no, their tank is completely disappeared as if it had been drilled into the ground!" Also, we didn't even see a few figures, only some artillery ......"

These words made Yamada Michiyuki a little incredible, he personally flew down from the sky with the fighter plane, and then skillfully controlled the fighter plane to make it fly upside down...... Such a flight attitude allows Yamada to condescendingly see the entire "wolf's horn" below.

"Sure enough, no!" Michiyuki Yamada said to himself, and then he saw a cloud of smoke in the Japanese defense line and the faint sound of gunfire and explosions in the sound of aircraft motors, and he suddenly understood something.

"Alas! Cunning Chinese! Michiyuki Yamada suddenly felt as if he had been evacuated, and he was so energetic that he wanted to do a big job just now, but now he felt that everything was over.

"Nakaju-kun!" Michiyuki Yamada straightened his flying stance and ordered Nakai Shaosa by radio: "Drop all the bombs and go back!" ”

"But ......," Nakaju Shaozo said with some unwillingness, "Isn't our target the enemy's tank?" How can you just give up? ”

"Their tanks...... We're attacking our position! Michiyuki Yamada replied, "Execute the order!" It is impossible for us to complete the task, if we delay any longer, wait for the American fighters to arrive...... It's too late! ”

Zhongju Shaozuo couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and after a while, he replied helplessly: "Yes!" ”

Then he led all kinds of fighters and bombers to bomb the "wolf horns" below.

But such a bombardment obviously will not have much effect, and the personnel and supplies have long been hidden in underground tunnels, and only a few artillery pieces are exposed...... These artillery pieces are still too late to hide in a hurry.

However, the word "hiding" is not accurate here, because the artillery of the Chinese and American coalition forces did not have so much time to build tunnels for these 105-caliber howitzers, and building tunnels that could accommodate such large-caliber howitzers was a big project. Moreover, even if such a large tunnel could be constructed, a few minutes would not be enough time to push the more than 2,000-kilogram object into the tunnel, so the American soldiers had to use an easier method...... After firing, cover the cannon with a rag of a similar color to the earth. In this way, it was difficult for Japanese pilots to spot the artillery below when they looked down from the sky.

Of course, the US military, which has basically not suffered losses in air supremacy and does not have much actual combat experience, does not know this, and this is without exception the simple and practical knowledge taught to the US military by Chinese soldiers.

After a burst of aimless and indiscriminate bombardment, the Japanese fighters could only leave in a huff...... In fact, they had not completely dropped the bombs, because the fighter in charge of reconnaissance on the periphery reported to Michiyuki Yamada that there were US fighters coming, and they were new US fighters.

The 12 "Hellcats" were indeed much less than the more than 60 fighters of various types by Michiyuki Yamada in terms of quantity, but first, there were only about 30 fighters in the Japanese fleet, and second, the battle loss ratio between the "Hellcats" and the Zero War was 1:13, so the 12 "Hellcats" could undoubtedly beat the seemingly huge fleet of the Japanese army.

At this time, in fact, the particularity of air combat has gradually become apparent...... In land warfare and naval warfare, there will be many ants biting and killing elephants, especially land warfare. But in air combat...... Numerical superiority often cannot make up for the disadvantage in technology and equipment, and backward fighters can often only become targets for the enemy and have no power to fight back.

Michiyuki Yamada also understands this, especially when he also knows that the speed of this new fighter of the US military is as high as more than 600 kilometers per hour, and the exact figure is 667 kilometers, while the fastest speed of the Zero War is only 533 kilometers per hour.

This huge gap made Michiyuki Yamada afraid to fight...... If you don't run away, it is very likely that on the way back, you will be caught up by the American ghost beast fighters and wiped out the whole army.

So at the sound of an order, the Japanese fighter plane disappeared from the sky above the "wolf's horn". (To be continued.) )
