the world is at stake

It is also unable to measure altitude, so it cannot distinguish whether it is an air target or a surface target.Its detection error is also ridiculously large, plus or minus one kilometer.

So it flies in the sky, and the radar officer needs to judge what target is on the display console, or rely on guesswork.But after it was born, the air force found a treasure, and hurriedly built three planes, all of which were sent to the front line of Miyako Island for sea search.

"The enemy is coming at full speed, and will definitely raid and bombard the airport on Miyako Island at night. If the little devil is still a little sensible, he must be speeding up before dark, and he will turn around and flee in the early morning."

In the command center of the General Staff in the imperial capital, Chen Ding, Fang Bo and other army and navy commanders were all staring at the waters around Miyako Island.

"We have deployed more than 20 torpedo boats and destroyers around Miyako Island, and we have also deployed radar on the island. If the Japanese army rushes hard, they must rush to the periphery of the island."

The 'King Kong' class is equipped with a 356 mm 45-caliber naval gun with a maximum range of more than 35 kilometers.But at night, Miyakojima must implement a blackout, and it can even be a light deception.

If the little devil wants to identify a specific target for precise strikes, he must get close to within [-] kilometers.After all, the firepower of other patrols and destroyers in its fleet is not so strong.

"The 'King Kong' class is only 28 knots at the fastest, and it only takes six hours from dark to early morning. It launches a surprise attack from at most [-] kilometers away. But the [-] kilometers around the island is our air defense circle."

"So as long as the enemy dares to come, we dare to deal with it."

Two senior military officers stared at Miyakojima on the sand table with their arms folded, hoping to fight a sea-air battle that would change history.

For such a situation, Kato Singkichi is not ignorant.The naval and air force staff of its task force is even more aware.

But what the task force can do is to release carrier-based fighter jets [-] kilometers away from Miyako Island, tear up the island's air defense circle before dark, and cover the gunboat raid.

Rear Admiral Toyoshima Jiro, as the aircraft carrier commander, specially reminded Kato Sadayoshi, the gunboat commander, "Your Excellency, the Chinese Navy will definitely intercept it halfway. We must plan the route and make multiple assaults."

The sea is so big, the mast looks at most forty kilometers.

The sea area [-] kilometers away from Miyako Island is very vast, and it is impossible for the Chinese navy to guard every point-at least the Japanese navy thinks so.

Kato agreed with this judgment, but he didn't listen.Because Taiwan's landing operations are in full swing, the number of fast warships mobilized by the base camp in a short period of time is limited.

If the task force is further dispersed, the two 'King Kong' class ships will not even have bodyguards.When they go to Miyakojima to bombard, they will definitely encounter Chinese warships. Don't even have a substitute to block torpedoes.

China's airports can be repaired if they break down, but if the battle cruiser sinks, it can't be salvaged.Kato's plan is to let the fleet make a slight detour and attack from the south of Miyako Island.

By 30 pm on the 150th, the Kato fleet arrived 100 kilometers east of Okinawa, and it would be dark in another hour and a half. More than [-] carrier-based aircraft took off against the wind, divided into three waves, and set off first, preparing to escort the gunboat formation.

The four aircraft carriers will continue to move south at high speed, move to the west of Miyako Island, and arrive at the agreed position before sunset to prepare for the landing of the carrier-based aircraft.

The two ships 'Bi' and 'Haruna' took more than a dozen younger brothers and cut through the waves on the sea at a speed of 25 knots, approaching Miyako Island aggressively around the bend.

According to Kato's prediction, he should be able to reach the bombardment position at eleven o'clock at night, use naval guns to fire flares to light up the location of the island airport, and withdraw after two hours of fighting.

In order to save the Japanese Army stationed in Taiwan, the Japanese Navy has allocated three-quarters of its capital ships and took great risks to carry out a surprise attack, which is interesting enough.

Army red deer should be grateful.

Thank you, understand?

But Kato never expected that when his bombardment unit rushed forward, an 'Early Warning-1' was turning around in the waters near Okinawa.

As it was getting dark, 'Warning-1' was already rushing back to Miyakojima, otherwise it would not be possible to go back.As for the security task at night, it can only be handed over to destroyers on the sea surface and submarines under the water.

But before the last 'horizon' was finished, a large number of bright spots suddenly appeared on the display console screen of the cabin.

The current display console screen is a curved display made of a cathode ray tube.It originally appeared ten years later, and was hatched in advance by the scientific researchers recruited by 'Holy Light' in the United States.

Before this thing could be used as a TV, it was used by Chinese military personnel to make electronic instruments such as oscilloscopes, or display consoles such as radars.

Because there are too many bright spots, it fills up the corner of the display and control screen.

The air intelligence officer on the plane was taken aback, judging from the speed of the bright spot that a large fleet of more than [-] planes was rushing towards him from [-] kilometers away.

"The little devil's carrier-based aircraft is here."

"Miyako Sora, this is Hawkeye 3. Radar has detected a large aircraft fleet flying southward from the waters east of Okinawa. It is suspected to be a Japanese carrier-based aircraft fleet."

The air intelligence officer reported the approximate coordinates of the enemy plane's appearance on the short-wave radio station, and then told 'Warning-1' to turn around and run quickly.

Under his command, the fighter squadrons on duty quickly climbed to an altitude of 6000 meters, preparing to make a slight detour, seize a dominant position and launch an attack from behind the enemy plane.

Flying from 36 kilometers away at the moment is the Iwamoto Brigade of the Japanese Navy's "Second Air Warfare". The [-] "Type III Ship Warships" are monoplane carrier-based aircraft designed by the US "Republic" Airlines, and Japan has imported technology to produce it.

Squad leader Toru Iwamoto sits in a closed glass cabin, drives a fighter plane with a 420-horsepower engine, and leads the team to fly at a speed of 340 kilometers per hour.

Yankee's engine technology is indeed impeccable, and Iwamoto has absolute confidence in his favorite machine.He is an old opponent of the Chinese Air Force, and 27 aircraft marks are printed on the side of his "three-type ship battle", representing his proud achievements in the past few years.

"The fighter plane of 'Baozhi' should still be 'J-2'."

Iwamoto was one of the first pilots to learn to fly in the United States. He experienced the brutal Liaodong Peninsula strangulation battle, North Korea's air attack, and the air supremacy in the East China Sea.

Except for the earliest triplanes, he fought almost all types of fighters of the Wehrmacht.

In the past five or six years, the biggest impression of Japanese pilots on Chinese fighter planes is that the update speed is very fast.Basically, one will be updated every six months, and each time it will be a little stronger.

Speed, climb rate, turning radius, dive angle, sometimes Iwamoto saw a certain type of fighter in the morning and it was easy to deal with, but a similar type that appeared in the afternoon became difficult.

Fortunately, the evolution of American fighter planes is also quite fast, and the assistance of the "Brotherhood" has prevented Japan's HNA from lagging behind China's equipment.But in the past six months, the new US government has cut off military aid to Japan.

The situation suddenly went bad.

Iwamoto murmured silently, "God Amaterasu blesses you, this is the battle of my great Japan's national destiny. I hope that what I encounter is a 'J-2' that is similar to the 'Type Three Ship Battle'. Don't suddenly launch a new aircraft. Don't !"

Chapter 23 Scarlet Witch

It was 30:5 pm on the [-]th of the imperial capital time, and there was still about an hour before it got dark.From the sky, the dividing line between day and night can be seen rapidly approaching to the west.

Once it gets dark, it will be very difficult for fighter planes to take off and land.

The four aircraft carriers led by the 'Feng Xiang' soared to the top speed of [-] knots, passed through the waters east of Okinawa Island, and headed west-southwest, approaching Miyako Island.

Jiro Toyoshima, who commanded aviation operations, kept staring in the direction of the sun.

The HNA staff officers on the island are also checking their watches.The fleet must keep moving westward, competing against the day-night boundary, and recover fighter planes that have completed combat missions in the afterglow of the sun.

This is a bet that the fighter planes of the Chinese Air Force will also return before dark.At that time, the Chinese and Japanese fighter planes are likely to fly over the same sea area within ten minutes, with a distance of [-] to [-] kilometers from each other.

If you are lucky, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft might be able to bombard Miyakojima after the Chinese Air Force, destroy its airport, turn around and join the "Fengxiang" air team that is heading west at a high speed, and land safely.

The nautical clock is ticking, and the time is slowly passing.There is only one air combat squadron escorting the four Japanese aircraft carriers, and the rest are all [-] kilometers away.

The island is quiet, and the radio is silent.Major General Toyoshima does not want to hear any news at this moment, because no news is the best news.

But at 5:45, Captain Iwamoto, who commanded the first attack wave, broke the silence of the short-wave communication and sent back a phrase that made the atmosphere of the entire ship island suddenly tense-"Baga, this is a trap."

Major General Toyoshima was quiet all the time, but when he heard the short-wave communication with rustling noise, he suddenly got up and rushed to the communications officer, wanting to get more information.

But then the Iwamoto Brigade seemed to disappear, and no longer sent back any information.As time passed second by second, all the hearts on the island sank rapidly.

Could it be that Toru Iwamoto was shot down in the blink of an eye?

impossible.He is a master of Japan's "Second Aviation War" with more than 1000 and [-] hours of flying experience. He has fought against the Chinese Air Force for five or six years and has nearly [-] shooting records.

The Chinese Air Force hated Iwamoto to the bone, and always wanted to kill him but never succeeded.How could such a meritorious elite die in just one meeting?

The communications officer on the island was nervous and at a loss. He looked back at Major General Toyoshima standing behind him, and Lieutenant General Kato who was standing behind the podium with a gloomy face. He wondered if it was time to break the radio silence and ask Iwamoto...

trap?What trap?

At this moment, two hundred kilometers away, the engine roared and the fighter plane roared.

Iwamoto has no time to deal with the 'Fengxiang' at the moment, because he is being bitten by the tail of the red twin aircraft formation.The entire brigade was smashed to pieces by more than a dozen Chinese fighter planes that emerged from the side.

This time the side attack came quickly and ruthlessly, it was an ambush that had been selected in advance.When the Iwamoto Brigade focused its attention on the front and was worried about colliding with the Chinese patrol plane, the red fighter plane poked over from their buttocks.

The wings cut through the airflow in the sky, and the propellers rotated at high speed, pulling the fighter planes to chase and shuttle each other at a speed of three to four hundred kilometers per hour.

It was the 'J-2' that struck, and it was not an ordinary 'J-2'.

The leading red fighter plane was printed with dense plaster flags, and each plaster flag meant that a Japanese fighter plane was shot down, and the number of shot downs exceeded [-].

This fighter plane was a daydream of the Japanese army, filled with evil spirits, indescribable and irresistible.It was as if a boulder was firmly pressed against their chests, making it difficult for them to breathe every time they thought about it.

"It's the 'Scarlet Witch'." Iwamoto cried out, knowing that he had run into an enemy.

In the past five years, there has been a horror story circulating in the Japanese Air Force. There is a female pilot in the Chinese Air Force who likes to speak Russian on the radio. She often flies out to fight for excitement.

No one knows the origin of the 'Scarlet Witch', and it is impossible to predict the rules of its battle.Chinese officials have remained silent, even refusing to acknowledge the existence of such a pilot.

It was so humiliating to be killed by a woman.

But the Japanese army was very sure of its existence, because she appeared from time to time, and every time she could cause a terrible storm of falling.His driving skills are exquisite, his mind is sober, his style is aggressive, and he can squeeze the performance of fighter jets to the limit.

When the red fighter plane appeared from the side, Iwamoto knew that today's battle would be difficult.The excited female voice of 'Ula' sounded on the public radio frequency, which made his skin tremble even more.

The 'J-2', which was covered with plaster flags, brought more than a dozen red fighter planes and rushed out at a speed of more than [-] kilometers.Martha, who was holding the joystick, shouted 'Ulla' excitedly as if she was suffocated.

"The feeling of galloping in the sky is so happy, Victor must be jealous to death. He is banned from playing, and only I can enjoy the feeling of being the king of the sky."

The flaps were deflected, the fuselage was light and flying, and the nose crossed over a "Type 12.7 Warship".Martha's hand-eye-brain coordination was synchronized, and the four [-]mm machine guns under the wing fired short bursts.

With only thirty or so rounds of large-caliber bullets, the "Type [-] Ship Battle" a hundred meters away was smashed to pieces and black smoke rose.Its pilot fell in the sky before he could parachute.

This distance is like a close-to-face attack for a fighter.If it is not serious, the flying body fragments can kill the attacker.But it was also the shooting at such a close range that Martha never failed to fire, and she was sure to hit.

The wingmen followed closely to ensure that Martha was safe behind her.Other red fighter planes also showed superb combat skills, maintaining speed while operating smoothly, the body flew smoothly, and the short bursts 200 meters away were accurate and deadly.

In just one round, the six 'three-type warships' were blown up, becoming broken wings and fuselages scattered in the sky.The rest of the Japanese planes had to dodge in panic, so as not to become the next hunting target.

When Iwamoto turned his head, he realized that his wingman was the first batch of victims.He pushed the accelerator to let the fighter plane reach the top speed, and at the same time turned the steering momentarily, intending to get rid of it.

A red two-plane formation stared at Iwamoto, and chased after him with a howl, and followed Iwamoto to maneuver, chasing closely—biting a tail and being bitten by a tail are completely different feelings.The latter must always judge the tail situation, distracted and prone to mistakes.

When Iwamoto turned his head to observe, he was shocked to find that he really hit the iron plate this time.The red fighter plane chasing him was also a trump card. Although there were not hundreds of plaster flags on the fuselage, there were forty or fifty.

Even the fuselage of the opponent's wingman has seven or eight kill records.

"Baga, this is the ace squadron that met the National Defense Forces. All of them are shot down kings."

When Japanese pilots went to the United States for training, they felt that their level was the best in the world, and they would definitely not be inferior to their Chinese counterparts.But when I fought, I found that the situation was not the case at all.

With the same number of flying hours, the same actual combat training, and the same old skills, the quality of Chinese pilots is much higher than that of Japanese pilots.

Ordinary people can get dizzy on a passenger plane, but fighter pilots have to circle and charge in the free world, facing life and death challenges from time to time.They need an extremely strong physique to make high-load maneuvers, and they need a calm and strong mind to judge the battle situation.

When Zhou Qingfeng mainly used his serum to strengthen the government and scientific research personnel, Martha, who couldn't be idle, went to become a fighter pilot, and strengthened a large number of colleagues by the way.

According to the post-war statistics of World War I and World War II, the mortality rate of rookie pilots is very high, either being hunted and killed by the enemy, or killing themselves.But as long as they can survive the first five battles safely, their survival rate and combat effectiveness can be greatly improved.

Martha not only strengthened herself, she strengthened two to three thousand Air Force pilots in five years.The Chinese Air Force has hundreds of times more aces with more than five kills than Japan.

These pilots, whose physique and courage are far beyond ordinary people, are invaluable treasures of the Chinese Air Force.They can always achieve better results in turbulent battles, even if they are few against many, they can retreat safely.

Iwamoto has 27 kills, and HNA is already a national treasure in Japan, which makes all rookies admire.But if his record is in the National Defense Forces, he won't even rank in the top [-].

The "Brotherhood" sent more than 2 fighter jets to Japan in five years and trained tens of thousands of pilots.But with the training of the Japanese army itself, the total number of Japanese pilots is less than [-], and the rest were consumed in the tragic war.

The aviation division of the National Defense Forces has a large number of ace squadrons, and there are many veteran pilots who have flown more than [-] hours and shot down at least ten enemy planes.

Meeting the 'Scarlet Witch' is not terrible, but meeting the ace squadron led by the 'Scarlet Witch' is the scariest.A dozen fighters are a dozen fierce and cruel eagles, which can kill the same number of opponents without damage.

This was being ambushed again, and hitting the iron plate again. Iwamoto knew that he had failed this mission.He grabbed the radio microphone and shouted to the whole brigade, "Spread out and return freely."

I shouted a few times, but there was no response from the radio.

The remaining fighter planes of the Iwamoto Brigade are still entangled with the opponent and are constantly being shot down.

Especially the 'Scarlet Witch', within a few minutes, she shuttled through the flock of pigeons like a nimble falcon, killing three Japanese planes, which greatly boosted the morale of her colleagues.

Iwamoto looked back again, and the tail-biting opponent recognized the 27 down marks on his fuselage and had fired multiple times.The short-wave antenna on the back of the machine was interrupted at some point.

It's over, there is no communication.

The entire brigade has lost its unified command and is fleeing.And no one can contact the fleet to inform the current bad situation.

Toru Iwamoto felt cold all over his body. This battle of betting on the fate of the country encountered such setbacks from the very beginning.Not only did the enemy's air defense network not be torn apart, but the first attack wave seemed to be finished.

Wait, what about the other two 'ship battle' brigades?

The Iwamoto Brigade was only the first attack wave, and two full-staffed aviation brigades followed behind him, and there was only a 10-minute flight difference between each other.

Toru Iwamoto was looking forward to his colleagues coming to the rescue, but his brigade had already suffered more than half of the casualties, and the rescuers could not even see a ghost—could it be that they were also ambushed and limited to fighting hard?

How can the Chinese Air Force be so coincidental?It doesn't matter if you stop one attack wave, but stop three attack waves in a row.This is definitely not a coincidence, but inevitable.

How did you do it?

Either the eyes of the sky are opened, or there are traitors.

Iwamoto couldn't care about anything else, what he could do was to try his best to get rid of the opponent's rear-end chase, give up the mission and speed up his escape, and flew towards the confluence sea area agreed with the 'Fengxiang'.

While hovering on the 'Early Warning-1' fifty kilometers away, the air intelligence officer called on the radio: "I am 'Hawkeye-3', calling for Martha.

Miyako Sora asked to let some Japanese carrier-based aircraft leave to track the location of its aircraft carrier.Repeat, let some Japanese carrier-based aircraft leave.We need to know the location of the enemy aircraft carrier. "

The sound of 'Ula' on the public channel stopped for a while, and an excited response sounded from the encrypted channel: "Understood, let some Japanese planes leave.

Hmm... just set it up.That who, don't grab the head with me.I want to be a super ace, I want to shoot down a thousand fighter planes, and become an unsurpassed victory miracle in history! "
