Comrade, Your Ingredients Are Too Complicated

The violent explosion and the heart-wrenching wailing of their captain completely shattered the last bit of luck in the hearts of the Japanese.

The miniature mushroom cloud rising from the oil storage area made their faces gloomy.

This famous scene unique to the Showa period was as if all the Japanese were collectively hit by a powerful spirit injection stick at the same time and place.

Seeing that the morale of his teammates had dropped to the bottom, Masaku Kanxiong could no longer bear it and shouted loudly:

"Baga! Why are you rubbish still in a daze? Are you watching the Eighth Route Army Air Force leave Dayingshan Airport?"

"Hurry up and move, the top three people in the total record will go to the Type 96 carrier battleship, follow me and Major Shinjo to attack and stop the enemy! You must take off within three minutes. Now our only way to survive is to shoot down the enemy's bombers."

"Hey!"

After giving the order, Masaku Kanxiong took a run and jumped onto the wing of the Zero fighter, then stretched out his hand to open the cabin and jumped in easily.

The old devil's whole set of movements was both skillful and smooth, which fully embodied the word "elite".

Shinjo Daisuke and the three quasi-aces of the Navy were naturally unwilling to lag behind, and boarded the fighter planes at the fastest speed.

As for those unsuccessful pilots?

They were also not idle. This group of devils who were not assigned to fighter planes spontaneously took on the role of ground crew. They handled the preparation work such as checking fuel and ammunition and removing sleepers in an orderly manner.

It only took three minutes for two Zero fighters and three Type 96 carrier fighters to start smoothly.

All the devils released the brakes, pushed the throttle valves hard, took off in a line from the dirt road in front of the spare hangar, and rushed towards the direction of the retreat of the Mosquito fleet at a high angle.

After several pull-up jumps, the five fighters continued to climb upwards at an accelerated speed, getting closer and closer to the flight formation of the Eighth Route Army.

It seems that it is only a matter of time to catch up.

"Gentlemen, the enemy this time is different from the Ugly Country Naval Air Force. They are very good at the so-called energy maneuver tactics. A few months ago, the local army idiots suffered a big loss."

"Everyone must pay attention. Don't take it lightly just because the opponent is a twin-engine bomber."

"Our goal is to shoot down at least ten planes. The action begins!"

"Hi!"

······

Time goes back to three minutes ago, over Haikou Dayingshan Airport.

Unlike the other crews, Captain Wang Hai, who successfully bombed the enemy's apron and hangar, did not go to the scheduled rendezvous point at the first time.

As the front-line commander of this operation, he also took the initiative to take on the task of covering the rear.

When the last two-plane formation climbed to a safe altitude, Captain Wang first looked at the enemy airport covered by war and smoke, and then drove the Mosquito tactical bomber to prepare for return.

Just as they were about to leave, the sharp-eyed Fang Ziyi suddenly discovered the little action of the Benzi Haihang.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to guess it right, Captain Wang. These devils really didn't give up resistance, and actually hid five fighters under everyone's noses."

"What do you mean? Now we have the advantage in altitude, do you want to leave some gifts before leaving?"

The existence of the fish that slipped through the net was actually expected by Captain Wang Hai.

No, the comrades were not energetic enough for the long-distance raid, and the bomb load of more than 30 Mosquito tactical bombers was limited, so it was naturally impossible to take care of all the enemies.

Glancing at the devil fighters rushing at the forefront and climbing at high speed, Captain Wang shook his head with some regret.

"Forget it, returning safely is important, there is no need to fight with the enemy now. What's more, the opponent is still two Zeros with twin engines against single engines, and I don't want to make myself uncomfortable."

"Speed ​​up the climb, the structural strength and high-altitude performance of the Zero fighter are very poor, just blow it up directly."

If a twin-engine heavy fighter wants to survive in the environment of World War II, the wisest choice is high speed.

If it's not safe enough, then go faster.

Of course, there are also major participating countries who are stubborn and refuse to believe in evil.

As typical negative examples, the BF-110 and ME-410 of Germany III, as well as the fate of Moonlight and Dragon Slayer in the book, must be familiar to everyone.

Even the enhanced version of the Mosquito produced by the Awakening Brave Tiger system cannot get rid of the limitations of twin-engine aircraft during World War II.

With this thing and its own technology, it is okay to bully the Type 97 and Type 96 battleships.

To fight the enemy's main daytime fighter, it still needs the subsequent Hornet.

After hearing Captain Wang Hai's decision, Fang Ziyi curled his lips in disappointment.

After all, pilots of close support forces like them have almost no chance to fight with enemy fighters. If they miss this opportunity, they may regret it for the rest of their lives.

However, he also knew what was more important, so he responded with a little regret:

"Although we can't fight head-on, using the performance of the bomber to beat the enemy's main fighter jets can barely be considered a tactical victory."

"Speed ​​up, don't let the comrades wait anxiously. Let's leave the five fighter jets to Secretary Feng and Li Yunlong."

"Haha, okay."

······

On the other hand, compared with the ease of Captain Wang and Fang Ziyi, the pilots of the Honko Naval Aviation led by Makado Mikio were really anxious.

"Baga! Can someone explain to me what's going on now!"

"Why are we getting farther and farther away from the enemy! How can the climbing speed of a twin-engine bomber be able to get rid of a single-engine fighter? Does science no longer exist?"

"Push the throttle to the bottom! As long as the plane is not broken, keep chasing!"

The engine of the Zero Fighter II has only 950 horsepower, and its maximum climbing speed is 880 meters per minute.

Theoretically, if the Mosquito in the sky and the Zero Fighter on the ground act at the same time, then when the latter just climbs to the interception altitude, the former has completed bombing and started to return.

So, the interception team led by Masaku Kan'ao seems to be very elite, but their essence is no different from the orc magician, the elf barbarian and the giant ranger, all of them are just for show.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. This law is particularly cruel in air combat.

The roar in the communication channel made Shinjo Daisuke's despair intensify. At this moment, a feeling of broken heart arises spontaneously.

"I can't catch up, I can't catch up at all."

"It turns out that what Masaku said is not to make up for his mediocrity. There is actually a big generation gap between the fighter planes currently in service in my country and the Eighth Route Army Air Force."

Different battlefield environments have different air combat styles.

Let's take the European war as an example.

The main theme of the Eastern Front was hunting, with ground targets of the Soviet and German armies, close support aircraft, and fighters forming a food chain. Fixed combat airspace and high density of aircraft were the most obvious combat styles.

In contrast, the Western Front was simpler.

Those air operations that were most widely circulated in later generations, to put it bluntly, were to bring Britain, Ah Chou and Germany around strategic bombers to counter their moves.

Based on the above experience, it is not difficult for us to summarize the style of air combat in Asia: that is, the three-body people fighting primitive people, and the Eighth Route Army Air Force always has the advantage brought by the technological generation gap. (End of this chapter)
