readx; With the approach of more than 20 fighters in the lower left, the 142 fighter group in the Chinese bomber formation also broke away from the formation and faced the incoming fighters, but they did not lower the altitude, but continued to remain at an altitude of more than 9,000 meters. These major interceptor fighters are very reluctant. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Theoretically, it is said that the Zhong Kui fighters and Feiyan fighters in this army air force can climb to an altitude of about 10,000 meters, but this is only a theory, not to mention that it takes too much time for them to climb to this height, and even if they barely climb to an altitude of more than 9,000 to 10,000 meters, the maneuverability of these fighters will drop very seriously.

Due to the influence of engine technology, he has not been able to develop an excellent fighter capable of fighting at an altitude of 10,000 meters so far, and he himself is very aware of this situation, and they have recognized this defect very early, after all, they are not the only enemy they are facing, in fact, after the start of the Pacific War, they are facing the threat of strategic bombers from the United States.

In the skies over Australia, the island of New Guinea, and other areas occupied by the South Pacific, the United States has been facing strikes by U.S. strategic bombers for the past two years, and although this kind of strike is not the same as the current Chinese Air Force's direct bombing of the industrial bases in the country, the Americans bombed the oil facilities on the Niassi Islands in India, as well as railway communications, port facilities, etc., and said that after occupying many islands in the South Pacific, especially Indonesia, it had already acquired a large number of oil fields. According to the oil production supply in the South Pacific region, it should have been very rich, but due to the bombing by the Americans, the oil facilities in this area were seriously damaged, not only the output of crude oil was greatly reduced, but also due to the blockade and hunting of American submarines, it was difficult to transport crude oil back to the mainland, and if these crude oil were not transported back to the local refineries for refining, there was no way to use them directly. However, there is no way to refine a large amount of refined oil to meet the operational needs of the South Pacific Theater Army.

In fact, in the past two years, Ben still imports a large amount of oil from China every year, and it is mainly refined oil, especially aviation gasoline.

In addition, the Chinese Navy has directly used Taiwan as its main forward base, and the numerous surface submarines and nearly 100 submarines of the First Fleet have almost completely blocked the sea area south of Ben, east of Taiwan, and north of the Philippines, and then there are still many American submarines active in this area to hunt and kill merchant ships called Ben, so after the start of the war, China said. The transportation of supplies between the mainland and the South Pacific region has already fallen into a state of disconnection, and it is said that "the only way to bypass the waters east of Taiwan and go directly south to the Pacific Ocean from the mainland, and then pass through many islands to reach Australia, and this area is not only a very long voyage, but more importantly, there is also a large number of active US navies in that area."

After the declaration of war, the situation of the Chinese army became extremely bad all of a sudden, and the mainland and the South Pacific region were separated, forming two theaters of relative reading, that is to say, it was difficult for the Chinese army in the South Pacific region to return to the country for domestic defense, and the mainland had no way to continue to transport a large amount of materials to supply the Japanese army in the South Pacific region for operations.

If these continues, it is estimated that in less than half a year, Australia's more than 2 million troops will be left without bullets and shells.

The fact that the situation is so bad is also a direct reflection of the fact that the number of fighters originally used in high-altitude air defense is about 1,000, and these 1,000 fighters can be widely distributed in the Kyushu region, the 'Chugoku' region, the Shikoku region, the central region, the Kanto region, the northern region, the Hokkaido region, and many other regions.

Therefore, when they discovered that China had dispatched hundreds of bombers across the Sea and directly toward the central region, they were able to mobilize the interceptor fighter units to meet them, mainly the fighter units in the central region and the Kwantung region, and the number would not exceed 300.

Officially, because of the serious shortage of high-altitude forces, and China's bombing of the homeland, he really felt the danger of destroying the country, so he said that in June, the army urgently ordered to accelerate the mass production of the army's four-type fighter, that is, the Ki-84 'Hurricane' fighter. As a land-based fighter, although it is said that it does not use a liquid-cooled engine like China, Britain, the United States and Germany, but uses an air-cooled engine, but as a fighter developed after the Pacific War, its maneuverability is still very superior, and the firepower is greatly improved compared with the army's first-type fighters, three-type fighters and the famous aircraft in the navy, and the 20-mm cannon and 12.7-mm machine gun.

This is different from the Chinese Army's large-scale use of 12.7mm machine guns on fighter jets here, although some Chinese fighters are equipped with 20mm cannons, such as F6B night fighters, F7 high-altitude and high-speed fighters, and F10 jet fighters. However, these fighters have one special feature, that is, they are all defensive fighters, and their main combat target is the enemy's bomber group, so they need great firepower. This is very different from the F4 series in the Chinese Air Force, F5 all use 12.7 mm machine guns, because these two fighters are used to fight for air supremacy, and the combat targets are basically enemy fighters and some tactical bombers, so in terms of firepower, the 12.7 mm machine gun is sufficient to deal with fighters, even if it is enough to deal with some double-engine fighters, and the machine gun can also carry more ammunition, so as to avoid exhausting the ammunition in a few minutes.

After all, whether it is China's B11 and B16 or the Americans' B17, B24, and B29, these four-shot heavy strategic bombers all have solid armor and a large amount of self-defense firepower, and it is difficult for ordinary aviation machine guns to hit these strategic bombers, but it is different with machine guns, a cannon is a big hole, and a few more guns can kill a strategic bomber.

Although the Hurricane fighter is already the most advanced fighter that the army can obtain at present, the high-altitude surname can still not satisfy the army, which is very simple, because the Hurricane fighter cannot compete with the F5 fighter of the Chinese Air Force at high altitude, in order to save the crisis, the army has accelerated the development of the next generation of fighters, that is, the Army's Type 5 fighter, which is a typical high-altitude fighter with an expected combat altitude of 12,000 meters, but it is still in the research and development stage. When it will come out is not something that can be known now.

For the time being, the army can only rely on the old-fashioned Zhong Kui, Feiyan fighters and a small number of Hurricane fighters for air defense operations. So far, the army has produced about 100 of them, all of which are deployed in the central region, but in the previous near-moon air defense operations, the number of Hurricane fighters has been lost, and at present, there are less than 100 of the Tempestal fighters left.

At present, the bomber formation that has come to intercept the formation of China's 27th and 14th Wings is said to be more than 20 Hurricane fighters.

"Be careful, don't be impulsive, don't lower the altitude and take the initiative!" The captain of the 142nd Brigade conveyed orders to all the planes under his command!

As long as they don't continue to climb, then their own Hurricane fighters will not have any threat to China's bomber formation, and if they climb to intercept, then at that time, the F5 fighters will be able to use their best high-altitude maneuver to fight with the Hurricane fighters, and at that time it will basically be a one-sided situation.

The F5 fighter of the Chinese Air Force has been in service since 1940, and it has been many years now, and it has participated in many wars, and most of the F5 fighters that were shot down during the service occurred in the airspace below 7,000 meters, because in the airspace below 7,000 meters, although the mobile surname of the F5 fighter can still be said to be superior, but it has not been able to open up the gap with the main fighters of various countries, and the fight is one to one, and at a low altitude of less than 3,000 meters, the surname of the F5 fighter can already be the main medium and low-altitude fighters that cannot fight against various countriesFor example, the heavily modified F4H fighter almost completely suppresses the F5 fighter at a low altitude of less than three thousand meters, whether it is the dive speed, the turning radius and the climb, etc., which can be on the F4H, it is more than the F5 fighter.

And there are many planes in this world that can compete with F4H for low-altitude maneuverability, and the zero battle of my own grace is one of them

Therefore, in the June confrontation operation, the Chinese Air Force issued a loss of F5 fighters in the airspace at medium and low altitudes, that is, it issued an almost mandatory order, except for specific ground support tasks, during air patrols and escort operations, it is strictly forbidden for F5 fighters to descend below 7,000 meters to engage in air combat with enemy fighters.

Any aircraft has its own advantages and weaknesses, this situation is particularly obvious in World War II, basically it is impossible for a fighter to fight the world, but to score several points, there are large ranges, there are high-altitude, there are low-altitude, there are ground support, and this is also the reason why there are so many fighter surnames in the air force of China and other countries, not to make it so complicated, but there must be so many.

The planes of the 142nd Brigade will not take the initiative to lower their altitude, but the fighters on the opposite side will continue to climb, because they can't watch the huge Chinese bomber group fly away in front of them, they must fight!

Lieutenant Colonel Liu Ping, the captain of the 142nd Brigade, looked at the slowly climbing fighter in his sight and said, "This wind fighter, there is a hint of fierceness in his eyes: Just waiting for you to come up!"

After half a ring, Liu Ping immediately said: "Attack, climb immediately after the attack, and then attack!" Don't be in love! ”

With Liu Ping's order, these more than 30 F5 fighters swooped down on the more than 20 fighters!
