"But the master seat ......"

"No, but!" Zhang Chi interrupted Zhang Junhua's words.

In fact, Zhang Chi knew very well what Zhang Junhua was thinking at this time, Zhang Junhua's analysis was the same as Zhang Chi, he made a preliminary comparison of the situation between the enemy and us, and came to the conclusion that the 12 "Wildcats" of the Chinese army wanted to intercept the Japanese army's 8 planes and the possibility of zero combat was very small.

On the one hand, Chinese pilots are usually trained not to fight with the Zero, but now they have to fight the Japanese Zero to protect the C47, so the result is obvious.

However, now is a critical moment, especially an air battle, which often ends in ten minutes or even a few minutes, so there is no room for Zhang Chi and Zhang Junhua to hesitate at all.

So Zhang Chi immediately ordered Zhang Junhua: "In this way, I command the C47 formation, and you command the fighter formation to fight, and the combat policy is ...... It's just using C47 as bait, understand? ”

"Understood!" Zhang Junhua habitually responded, but quickly replied: "Report to the master's seat, I don't understand!" ”

What Zhang Junhua didn't understand was...... The fighter is to protect the C47, how can the C47 be used as a bait? Isn't this a sacrifice for the end?!

"If you don't understand, you have to understand!" Zhang Chi shouted loudly into the walkie-talkie in an almost murderous tone: "Execute the order, just do it!" ”

"Yes!" Zhang Junhua responded helplessly.

A barrage of orders was soon issued to the fighters.

Almost at the same time, the piercing machine gun sounded, and there was even a string of bullets that swept past Zhang Chi like a lawnmower, and the two guards hurriedly threw Zhang Chi to the ground, only to shout angrily: "Get out!" ”

It's no wonder that Zhang Chi gets angry...... YOU MUST KNOW THAT THE JAPANESE ZERO FIGHTER USES A TYPE 97 7.7MM CALIBER MACHINE GUN, WHERE CAN THE HUMAN BODY BLOCK THIS? Therefore, this habitual action of the guards not only failed to play any role in protecting Zhang Chi, but also hindered Zhang Chi's command.

However, Zhang Chi didn't have time to get angry with the guards, but shouted at the walkie-talkie: "Nightingale One, Nightingale One, I'm Nightingale No. 2!" ”

"Nightingale Two, I'm Nightingale One!" Wang Mazi's voice came from the other end of the walkie-talkie.

At this time, Zhang Chi was no longer polite to Wang Mazi, the army commander, he shouted at the walkie-talkie: "Listen to my order, turn to dive in ten seconds!" ”

"Understood!" Wang Mazi replied.

At this moment, Zhang Chi saw a "wild cat" outside the window with black smoke and fire, making a piercing whistle and falling down to the sea at high speed, obviously the escort formation of the Chinese Air Brigade was already at a disadvantage.

Ten seconds was only in the blink of an eye, and soon the two C47s broke away from the escort formation and dived down with a burst of motor sound...... This approach should be said to be unreasonable, because the C47 has a maximum speed of only 360 kilometers per hour, while the Japanese Zero fighter has a maximum speed of 533 kilometers per hour.

With such a large speed gap, it can be said that it is easy for the Zero fighter to catch up with the C47, and even because the maximum flight speed of the "Wildcat" fighter is only 515 kilometers per hour, which is slightly lower than that of the Zero fighter, it is easy to form a situation where the C47 faces the Japanese zero battle alone without any protection.

Therefore, the safer way to play is that C47 stays under the escort of the "Wildcat" until reinforcements come, but Zhang Chi did the opposite, which seems to be a very unwise decision made by the military taboo.

But the commander of the Japanese flying squadron, Tetsuzo Iwamoto, couldn't help but praise when he found out about C47's move: "What a smart guy!" ”

Tetsuzo Iwamoto knew the situation best at this time, if the C47 continued to stay in the protection of the "Wildcat" group, because the "Wildcat" was far less flexible than the Zero Battle, and even the "Wildcat" would not be able to maneuver because it wanted to protect the C47, and would not dare to shoot because of the fear of hitting the huge fuselage of the C47 when aiming at the enemy aircraft...... So the fate of the "Wildcat" seems to be only one after another because of the C47 bullet block and shot down, once the "Wildcat" is exhausted, then the C47 is the bag of the zero battle can not run.

This was also Iwamoto's original plan, and he was confident that he would eat all of these enemy planes.

But now it's a different story...... The C47 changed course and broke away from the Wildcat group, and it was still diving at high speed.

First of all, this will allow the "Wildcats" to free up their hands and feet to fight with the Japanese army in a zero battle.

Secondly, and more importantly, this will put the Japanese fighters in a dilemma: should they continue to fight with the "Wildcat"? Or go after the C47?

If they continue to fight with the "Wildcats", it is not a big problem to take out these twelve "Wildcats", but it is very likely that they will lose the opportunity to shoot down the C47s, because Iwamoto Tetsuzo found that the course of the two C47s is in the direction of the aircraft carrier, which means that they will soon get another batch of support.

If you are chasing C47, you must dive with C47...... Needless to say, what problems will be faced by this, the dive performance of the Zero Combat is not good, and it cannot be too fast when diving, otherwise the engine is easy to stall and even the fragile fuselage will disintegrate because of this. The "Wildcat" will inevitably follow closely behind, so in the process of this dive pursuit, Zero Zhan will inevitably expose his "ass" to the muzzle of the "Wildcat".

At the same time, Zhang Junhua, who was watching the battle situation in front of the radar, understood what Zhang Chi said before about "using C47" as bait.

So he issued a series of orders at the first time:

"The escort formation continues to engage with the enemy planes, and if the enemy planes pursue, they will bite them from behind, and strive to destroy them before they can shoot!"

"The 3rd Squadron took off urgently, be sure to destroy all enemy aircraft pursuing C47!"

"All warships are ready for anti-aircraft fire, blow up a barrage behind the C47 formation, be careful not to accidentally damage the fighters of the other side!"

These three orders can be said to be just right, and they are exactly what Zhang Chi wants.

After a few seconds of hesitation, Tetsuzo Iwamoto immediately ordered the fighters to divide into two groups of four, one led by Ensign Ozawa to fight the "Wildcat", and the other group led by himself to pursue the C47.

Objectively speaking, Iwamoto's decision is correct, because the pursuit of the C47 does not require so many fighters, so that the division into two groups can ensure the completion of the mission on the one hand, and on the other hand, leaving the fighters to fight with the "Wildcat" can also protect the back of the pursuit group to some extent.

But the problem is that the Japanese fighter was originally at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, and at this time, the disadvantage in terms of numbers will be even more obvious if this fighter is split like this...... The four Zeros left behind, no matter how experienced the pilots are and how superb their air combat skills are, they can't stop more than a dozen "Wildcats".
