Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

Chapter 271 The Doctrine of Strategic Destruction and the Promotion of Ace Pilots

As the navigator of the entire Ninety-Six Land Attack Aircraft Group, Colonel Nagano Yuri is like a hen guarding its chicks, always vigilant about the situation around the mountain city.

When several advanced and unfamiliar enemy aircraft suddenly entered the battlefield and quickly entangled the Zero fighter escorting the front, alarm bells rang loudly in his heart.

 The lack of zero-war **** made the entire formation extremely weak and even full of loopholes. Once the enemy launches an attack at this moment, the consequences will be disastrous.

Facts have proved that the more people fear something, the more likely it will come.

The rich experience and sixth sense accumulated from many years of fighting on the battlefield made Nagano Yuri's eyes involuntarily move diagonally upward.

Facing hundreds of fiercely swooping fighter jets, even an old Japanese soldier who had carried out dozens of bombing missions in the Republic of China was frightened.

 From the beginning of the all-out war four years ago until now, HNA has never encountered such a large-scale interception force.

However, as a navigator and lead aircraft, Nagano Yuri knew that he could not mess up his position. After all, the entire formation is still waiting for his command. If he panics first, the morale of the troops will be severely damaged.

 The old devil took a few deep breaths and tried to force himself out of the panic state in the shortest possible time.

Although I don’t know who the enemy is, I don’t even know which corner the opponent comes from. But it is definitely not an easy task to break through the fleet of forty-eight Nine-Six Land Attackers.

"Enemy attack! Form a defensive formation quickly! No one is allowed to leave the formation without my order, even if a bullet hits the face!"

“Throw away all the aerial bombs and cancel this combat mission! In the current situation, Major General Endo will not hold us accountable for our dereliction of duty. Everything is focused on preserving the fighter planes!”

“Cover each other and retreat in an orderly manner according to the predetermined route. There will be a second batch of friendly troops to provide cover along the way! Hurry! Hurry! Hurry!”

In this era, in order to ensure the efficiency of the attack, bombers from various countries will strictly stipulate and design the direction, height and speed of entering the battlefield before the war.

 After dropping the bomb, retreat along the predetermined route.

As the most elite aviation force, Japan's HNA naturally considered various possible accidents before setting off.

Even though this old devil like Tsunayoshi Tsuchida kept saying that the Eighth Route Army would not come, he still made corresponding contingency plans. With his military rank and status at his level, he naturally knew how ferocious the Kong Yi Division's combat capabilities were.

It's a pity. If Lu and Haihang could put aside their differences, they might be able to save more than half of the Nine-Sixth Land Attack.

After all, Yibin Airport is very close to the mountain city. With the speed of the Type 97 fighter jet, it only takes more than half an hour to arrive at the battlefield to perform **** missions.

But the honor and pride of his brother HNA did not allow Yuri Nagano to ask for help from the Army Malu. He did not even consider the nearest army station, but chose to backtrack to Hankou Airport.

 After receiving the order from his commander, each crew entered emergency combat status.

At the same time that aerial bombs were thrown into the Yangtze River, forty-eight 96 Land Attackers began to gather, and the formation gradually turned into a box-like formation.

The Jiuliu Land Attack flying alone is very fragile. The poor armor and four self-defense weapons can provide very limited protection. When it can be transformed into a group, its firepower soars.

 As long as each attack aircraft follows the instructions of the leader aircraft and operates together, the overall battlefield survivability rate is quite impressive.

Faced with the swooping Hurricane fighter jets, Hainan Airlines’ heirloom 7.7mm revolving machine gun danced with might.

The sky full of machine gun bullets formed several dense self-defense fire nets. From a distance, it looked like a large, slowly moving hedgehog.

Especially the rear machine gunner of each 96 Land Attacker. Unlike other positions that choose to mix one tracer bullet with every five bullets, all his machine guns are filled with tracer bullets.

In addition to correcting the ballistics in time and guiding friendly units to counterattack, its purpose is more to deter enemy fighters that are following the attack.

The Japs have always believed in one thing. Even the bravest pilots will feel a little afraid in their hearts when they see the dense flames coming towards them.

 But facts proved that they still underestimated the courage and strength of the Kongyi Division.

As the commander-in-chief of the 2nd and 3rd Air Force Regiments, Fang Ziyi shuttled through the dense rain of bullets as easily as a falcon. He even had the energy to pay attention to the movements of his comrades.

“Attention all attacking formations, enter from the four o’clock direction, which is the blind spot for the enemy’s revolving machine guns.”

“The current battlefield is very crowded. After emptying the rockets, quickly vacate the position so as not to affect the performance of the subsequent offensive troops.”

“You can withstand bullets that cannot be avoided, and you can withstand hurricanes except for machine guns.”

Although the self-defense firepower of the forty-eight 96 Land Attackers looks fierce enough, to put it bluntly, those 7.7mm revolving machine guns are more of a bluff.

If it were the U.S. bomber formation, it would be absolutely impossible for Fang Ziyi to lead it up.

They are equipped with a huge number of 12.7 mm caliber machine guns, and those weapons can really destroy a formation of fighter jets coming to intercept.

 Ninety-six land attacks? Just stay where it's cool.

 No one really thinks that forming a box formation can turn into a B17 Flying Fortress, right?

What's more, HNA's attack aircraft are extremely pursuit of range, with an average speed of only more than 200 kilometers per hour. Even if they escaped lightly, they could barely break through 300, which was too slow compared to the Hurricane fighter jets of the First Air Division.

 In a sense, as long as the moving speed of the aircraft exceeds the rotation angular speed of the self-defense machine gun, the probability of being hit will be greatly reduced.

 At twice the speed difference, those 7.7mm revolving machine guns cannot even play the basic role of expulsion.

 After receiving Fang Ziyi's order, the first wave of attacking soldiers pressed the launch buttons of the rockets.

With the fire bursting out from under the wings, the red suns drew beautiful flight paths and flew towards the enemy aircraft one after another.

Although the accuracy of the rockets was poor and even in the upward attack state, under the salvo fire of dozens of Hurricane fighter jets, the effect of this round of strikes was surprisingly good.

 On the opposite side, five 96 Land Attackers were blown up by volleys, and seven were seriously injured. The Japs had no idea that the Kongyi Division had such a powerful weapon.

 For a dense group of bombers, oncoming rockets are a great threat.

In order not to be used as a fixed target by the concentrated superior firepower of the Eighth Route Army's air force, the Japanese had no choice but to change their formations and fight in a dispersed manner.

 “Baga! Spread out, spread out!”

“Every six aircraft are in a group, and the spacing between all formations should not be too crowded!”

“Damn machine gunners! Haven’t you eaten yet? The enemy is about to ride on my face! Why can’t you even shoot down a fighter plane!”

 In fact, every 96th Land Attack machine gunner worked very hard. The bullet holes on the fuselage of the Hurricane fighter were enough to show that their counterattack did not fail.

 It’s a pity that times have changed, and a single machine gun can play an extremely limited role in air combat.

Facing the Hurricane fighter jet made by Pishenite, the 7.7mm machine gun could not even destroy it, let alone destroy it.

After firing out the rockets in one go, Fang Ziyi immediately aimed at the enemy aircraft and pulled the launch button of the aircraft machine gun. The right wing of a 96 Land Attacker on the upper left was suddenly punched with more than a dozen fist-sized holes.

 It’s a pity that the accuracy of this attack was still a bit poor, and it did not hit the engine and other key parts in one go.

At the same time as he hit the enemy plane, he pressed the stick without hesitation to make the fighter roll. It not only frees up the attacking position for subsequent comrades, but also avoids the attack of the rear machine gunner.

 After arriving at the enemy's direct six o'clock direction, twelve small water pipes once again staged the ultimate torture. "Da da da!"

 A series of precise shots directly and brutally punched several holes in the rear machine gunner's cockpit of the 96 Land Attack.

 In an instant, the inside of the enemy plane was filled with flesh and blood. There was even a flight hat stained with blood and unknown liquid, which was thrown into the air due to air pressure.

The self-defense machine gun of the 96 Land Attack itself has certain blind spots.

 After being knocked off the rear machine gun by Fang Ziyi's Hurricane fighter, he suddenly turned into a tiger without its fangs and claws, and could no longer make a strong counterattack.

In order to save his own life, the Japanese pilots could only increase their power and try their best to escape near their teammates, trying to get into the formation's self-defense firepower.

But the North China Eagle would never give the enemy a chance to escape. After destroying the tail machine gun that threatened the most, he rolled directly to the left and arrived at the eight o'clock direction of the 96th Land Attack.

Immediately afterwards, he pushed the throttle and pounced forward. He didn't pull the trigger of the aviation machine gun until he was still 200 meters away.

 Twelve meteors caught up with the moon's line of fire and bit into the tail of the 96 Land Attack aircraft. Then there were several rows of brutal bullet holes from the tail to the nose of the plane.

Due to the weak overall protective performance, the pilot had already been beaten into a human shape by a series of machine gun bullets.

However, the control column was still held tightly in the hands of the dead pilot, which eventually caused the plane to lose control and plummet toward the Yangtze River with billowing black smoke.

  ·······

Just when Fang Ziyi successfully killed a 96 Land Attacker, the soldiers of the 2nd and 3rd Air Regiments also gained a lot, killing more than half of the enemy planes.

Although the soldiers’ flying time and combat experience are not as rich as those of Hainan, they cannot do any fancy maneuvers.

But more than half a year of training and fighting have made everyone's basic skills very solid, and even the most demanding instructors can't find any faults.

Facing the concentrated 96 land attack, the comrades immediately raised their altitude after firing the rockets. Then he turned his back to the sun and dived towards the bomber group.

During the attack, the soldiers focused on key parts such as the fuel tanks and engines at the base of the wings. Once the Hurricane's airframe clears the enemy formation, it regains altitude and repeats the maneuver.

Since the fighter plane has its back to the sun, it makes it difficult for the machine gunners on the Jiuliu Land Attack to aim.

Even if the Japs are equipped with special windshields, their accuracy when shooting in the sun is not as good as usual.

This tactic looks unremarkable and can even cause visual fatigue to onlookers. But war is often simple and unpretentious, and you can conquer the world with one move.

Back then, the Japanese used artillery to blast off the infantry charge, and captured most of the Republic of China in a short period of time.

Now their retribution has come. The 1st Air Division of the Eighth Route Army used a superior version of B&Z tactics to fight from Zhongtiao Mountain to the mountain city, beating up the army and navy in this book one by one.

 Forty-five minutes later, the battle was completely over.

 “Captain, you have fulfilled your mission!”

“The Second and Third Air Regiments successfully completed their mission. Seven Hurricane fighter jets were shot down, but the soldiers have all parachuted out. The comrades from the Eighth Office of the Mountain City should be responsible for the rescue.”

"Please advise."

 After hearing Fang Ziyi’s brief report, Captain Wang Hai nodded happily.

 No matter how poor the self-defense firepower of the 96th Land Attack was, it still had a 20mm machine gun to support it. The young fighters were able to achieve a record of 7:48, which was considered a perfect answer.

“Everyone listens to the order and moves towards Yichang as a regiment.”

“If we don’t encounter the Japs’ Lu Hang on the road, we will all return to the Hubei-Henan border area for supplies and wait for the new phase of orders from the Eighth Office of the mountain city.”

"Set off!"

 In this battle, considering that there is a high probability that the Japanese will attack in multiple batches.

On the way to the mountain city, Captain Wang Hai specifically told the soldiers to leave at least half of the bullets/aircraft guns to deal with the wheel battles of the Japanese army and navy.

 Limited by shortcomings in bomb load and range, the Air Division could only barely defend.

The mission of long-distance raids on major Japanese airports still has to wait until the appearance of the handsome warrior Mosquito, a twin-engine heavy fighter. After all, the Republic of China was so big that even a voyage of less than 2,000 kilometers would be considered a short leg.

On the way to Yichang, Captain Wang Hai said on the communication channel:

"Comrades, our Air Force Division will definitely not be able to continue fighting at the division level in the future. As more and more lost ground is recovered, regiment-level and brigade-level operations will become the norm."

“Our team has always emphasized equality among individuals. Everyone has the opportunity to lead the team and be promoted.”

“But now, let us congratulate the birth of the first new generation ace pilot of the Eighth Route Army Air Force!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned for a second.

Soon, everyone thought of who the ace pilot Captain Wang Hai was.

 Fang Ziyi successfully shot down four fighter planes of various types during the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain. Including the Nine-Liu Land Attack just killed, it has reached the minimum requirement for an ace pilot.

  ·······

At the same time, Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Huang He looked at the new system bonus in his mind and scratched the back of his head in confusion.

 Fang Ziyi? Isn't that the famous floor-licking maniac? Why did you change your career to grab the air service? Is it possible that the entire Kongyi Division has its own doctrine of strategic destruction and bonuses for interception missions?

“Few people would take as big a risk as the Eighth Route Army Air Force pilots. These heroic warriors were almost single-handedly fighting against the aviation force of a hostile country.

 Fang Ziyi, a senior pilot nicknamed North China Eagle.

  Not only did he successfully survive multiple missions, but he also led the Hawker Hurricane formation to victory in multiple aerial close encounters, demonstrating outstanding skills.

Just today, Fang Ziyi's ability in the mountain city mission was remarkable and he became an important role in this critical interception battle.

 His promotion was widely publicized as a shining example of courage in the Eighth Route Army.

Even though people may view war more as a **** than an honor, there are still many people who would like to see heroes to emulate.

 Effect: The production speed of any type of fighter aircraft and ammunition in the system is +0.2%"

   Sorry, I didn’t even update properly during the Dragon Boat Festival. Now that I'm home, I can update the status and return to normal.

Don’t worry about eunuchs and bad jobs. Although writing books is a side job, it is also a hobby of mine.

As long as there are no force majeure factors, I will definitely finish writing it seriously.

At present, one-third of the outline has been completed, and the following content will be more exciting. Thank you for your support.

I will continue coding
