Rise From Eight Hundred
Chapter 1169: Monument in the sky!
The mountains of Taihang Mountain are steep and rugged, with steep cliffs and many valleys.
Amidst the huge roar, Iwamoto Tetsuzo suddenly drove the plane into a valley that was no more than 100 meters wide and had peaks on both sides of more than 300 meters, and disappeared in front of everyone.
Huang Xinrui dived in without hesitation, biting the Japanese plane hundreds of meters away.
But he had to be forced to slow down.
Although the predecessor of the Zero fighter, the 96 Land Attack, was not as good as the I-153 in most of its performance, it was a single wing and had a smaller fuselage, making it more flexible than the I-153!
The valley was not long, only about 3,000 meters in length. For an aircraft with a speed of more than 470 kilometers per hour, it only took a dozen seconds.
At the end of the valley is a majestic and wide mountain. Iwamoto Tetsuzo is indeed an ace pilot. Under his control, the surging Type 96 Land Attack aircraft circling the mountain like a fish in a rapids, dangerously bypassing the right side of the mountain at high speed.
The I-153, which is only 500 meters away from the Type 96 Land Attack aircraft, can only be forced to slow down again. The biplane-structured I-153 does not have the small radius turning performance of the Type 96 Land Attack aircraft. If he does not slow down, his aircraft will hit the mountain like a sharp arrow, and there is no chance of luck.
But in this way, the cunning Iwamoto Tetsuzo used the mountain to escape from his lock and pursuit, and it would not be so easy to occupy a favorable position again.
Huang Xinrui's face was calm. He did not choose to chase Iwamoto Tetsuzo around the right side of the mountain, but chose to pass from the left.
The two fighters jumped out of the valley one after the other, one left and one right, and appeared in front of everyone again.
But this time, the Japanese troops on the ground began to cheer.
The imperial eagle they had been waiting for finally got rid of the pursuit of the Chinese fighter plane with its skillful skills and extraordinary courage. It made a beautiful small turn in the crazy pull-up, drew a beautiful arc in the sky around the mountain, and charged at the Chinese fighter plane that also jumped into the sky from the other side of the mountain at an altitude of 800 meters.
"Keep chasing him! Why give the damn devils a chance to counterattack!" A scout beside Gu Xishui hit the ground hard.
"Our plane is running low on fuel. If we want to fly the fighter plane back to Zhengcheng intact, we must resolve the battle within one minute. Teacher, this is a risky move!" Shen Chonghai, who had been looking up at the sky, muttered to himself.
"It's going to happen!" Gu Xishui, who had always been calm and incompatible with his age, suddenly changed his face when he heard Shen Chonghai say this.
And a few kilometers away, Tang Dao almost said the same word as Gu Xishui!
In this world, no one knows the Japanese army better than Tang Dao and his elite soldiers who have fought bloody battles with the Japanese army for a year.
They are beasts, but their madness should not be underestimated!
What choice will a crazy beast make in such a battle? No one knows.
Not knowing itself contains too many dangers!
Just as Shen Chonghai said, in order to save time, Huang Xinrui in the air had to give up the plan that basically guaranteed 100% to continue chasing and shoot down the Japanese plane. He chose a more dangerous strategy.
He wanted to intercept the Japanese plane in front of it.
But for Iwamoto Tetsuzo, who was already in a state of madness, this was what he wanted.
When he saw the damn Chinese plane coming around from the other side of the mountain from the cockpit, he couldn't believe his eyes, and his face showed the first smile since the war began.
In this battle, his record of 0 as an ace pilot will at least become 1 from now on!
Although he did not understand why the Chinese made such an unwise choice, you know, the engine of his Type 96 land attack aircraft had begun to emit white smoke, and he almost did not need to fight anymore. He would lose all combat effectiveness in one minute or 30 seconds. However, this was the last chance given to him by Amaterasu, and it was also the last chance for the temporary Army Aviation Corps.
In front of tens of thousands of people, the two fighter planes staged a duel like an ancient cavalry, charging at each other's bayonets and spears.
A distance of two kilometers would take at least eight minutes for a well-trained and fully armed infantryman, and nearly two minutes for a cavalryman riding a horse running at full speed.
But for both sides, how long would it take for the fighter planes to reach the maximum full speed and collide with each other at a relative speed of 300 meters per second? It was less than seven seconds.
In fact, as soon as the two planes faced each other and pushed down the afterburner lever at the same time to step on the throttle to the deepest, Huang Xinrui and Iwamoto Tetsuzo put their hands on the machine gun button.
At the moment when the fighter planes roared forward, they pressed hard!
There is no chance of luck. In such a single-aircraft battle, whoever aims more accurately and shoots first will have a greater chance of winning.
Vice versa, in this kind of lose-lose battle that tests the psychological quality of pilots, whoever is afraid first and evades first will lose the initiative on the battlefield and give his life to the opponent again.
Huang Xinrui dared to make such a decision. Although he was helpless due to insufficient fuel, it was not a blind and arrogant choice. He also had enough confidence.
Not only was he confident in his courage and flying skills, but also in the performance of his aircraft.
The I-153 has strong protection capabilities, and the four SHKAS machine guns have stronger firepower, which is only one aspect. Compared with the 96 land attack, another advantage is the sight.
The only air-to-air weapons of fighter planes in this era are machine guns, and the projectiles fired need to hit the target directly to shoot down the target.
Since both the attacking aircraft and the target are in high-speed motion during air combat, the aiming of the machine gun becomes particularly critical, and several problems need to be solved: First, to accurately attack the target, it is necessary to measure the distance and relative azimuth between the attacking aircraft and the target aircraft; second, the projectile has to fly a certain distance in the air, and the trajectory will decrease due to the gravity of the projectile; third, when tracking the target, it is necessary to determine the lead time of the shooting according to the movement of the target.
The anti-aircraft weapons on the ground will also take these into consideration. Whether it is an anti-aircraft machine gun or a machine gun, they all use mechanical sights!
And on the fighter plane, it is naturally more advanced, using optical sights, but there are two types of them, one is called a fixed optical sight, and the other is called a gyroscopic optical sight!
Fixed optical sights produce several concentric rings on the lens, each of which is equivalent to the pilot's observation angle of the target. When shooting, the pilot controls the aircraft to track the target, and determines the distance between himself and the target aircraft according to the position of the wingspan of the target aircraft on the ring. According to the distance, the elevation angle of aiming is determined, and the lead amount is determined according to the movement direction of the target aircraft, and then the shooting is carried out!
Gyroscopic optical sights are also called active ring sights. The principle is the same as that of fixed optical sights, but its core component is the gyro measurement mechanism. As long as the pilot always aligns the center of the active ring with the center or vital part of the target, the ring can measure and form the corresponding aiming lead angle according to the target line angular velocity.
Undoubtedly, the latter is much more advanced than the former.
This new technology was obviously not something that the Type 96 Land Attack Aircraft, which was born in 1933, could equip. Given their stingy nature, they did not equip the aircraft until the Zero fighter appeared two years later. By then, the performance of the once glorious I-153 was completely crushed, and the Fifth Air Brigade was defeated 0 to 8 over Chengdu.
But now the I-153 crushes the Type 96 Land Attack Aircraft in many aspects, including the gyroscopic sight!
Time is so wonderful!
To the people on the ground, the pilots of both sides seemed to be in a straight line, but in fact, both Huang Xinrui and Iwamoto Tetsuzo were using the smallest operation to allow the aircraft to maneuver slightly in the fierce confrontation to break away from the lock of the other side's sight.
One by one, the red bullet chains were clearly visible in the blue sky, sweeping around the two extremely determined aircraft.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, four seconds, five seconds, the distance between the two aircraft was getting closer and closer.
At a distance of nearly 500 meters, Huang Xinrui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his sight finally locked firmly on the crazy enemy plane.
That plane may not be the best in technology, but it is definitely the most tenacious enemy he has encountered since the war began.
A series of bullets spewed out from the muzzle of the onboard machine gun, hitting the wings, fuselage, and cockpit of the 96 Land Attack with great accuracy. The 62mm machine gun bullets with powerful kinetic energy, which flew only a few hundred meters, hit the windshield in front of the open cockpit of the 96 Land Attack one after another, with large holes visible to the naked eye.
By the way, it penetrated the body of Iwamoto Tetsuzo who was sitting in the cockpit behind him. Although the 62mm caliber bullet is not as terrifying as the 7mm machine gun, it has almost brutal damage if it hits the human body.
In addition to a bullet hole as big as an egg on his right chest, which exposed a fresh lung lobe and made Iwamoto Toru's mouth and nose bleed, one of his arms had been broken, revealing fresh red and white bone stumps that made people's hair stand on end. The red one was flesh and blood, and the white one was bone.
The right arm that was broken by the bullet was connected to the body by only a few tendons. The machine gun firing button that was being pressed tightly lost its power, and the crazy roaring aircraft machine gun stopped.
Since then, all of Iwamoto Toru's counterattacks have been declared over. Without the machine gun, he has lost all threats to the Chinese fighter planes rushing 500 meters away.
This air battle will end with the complete victory of the Chinese Air Force, and the record of nearly 100 fighter planes fighting over North China will also shock the whole world.
Will the Chinese battlefield be like their air force, where the weak defeats the strong?
However, as long as one side has not fallen, the air battle is not over!
Huang Xinrui's pupils in the air suddenly shrank!
Through the void of less than 400 meters, he could see the Japanese plane, the Japanese pilot sitting in it, the dense bullet holes on the fuselage of the Japanese plane, and even seemed to see the extremely strange and brilliant smile on the face of the Japanese pilot!
But in fact, no matter how good the eyesight is, it is impossible to see the face of the pilot under the flight cap.
But really, Huang Xinrui's brain was frantically reminding him that he could see, see the cunning and tenacious opponent smiling at him.
Suffering such a heavy blow, even if the plane could land safely, Iwamoto Tetsuzo would surely die.
He lost his machine gun, but he still had a fighter plane!
The distance of less than 500 meters is only 5 seconds for two fighter planes flying in opposite directions at high speed. Even if the Chinese wanted to turn the rudder left and right to avoid him, it would be too late.
The distance is too close, and the speed is too fast.
He and his fighter plane will hit at a speed of 150 meters per second or even higher.
The Chinese ace pilot would be shot down by him, the ace pilot of the Japanese Army Aviation, or to be more precise, crashed down!
The Chinese ace fighter plane with four red stars that was knocked down was the weapon he left for his girlfriend to face all the blame!
Muzi, I love you! Iwamoto Tetsuzo tried to open his eyes that were about to fall asleep, stepped on the accelerator with all his strength, held the rudder with his left hand, and rushed towards Huang Xinrui's plane, like a moth that flew into the fire even though it knew it was fire.
Tragic, but determined.
Huang Xinrui's face changed drastically, but he did not dodge in panic, but continued to aim at the Japanese plane and fired!
Just as Iwamoto Tetsuzo thought, at such a short distance, he couldn't dodge even if he wanted to. No matter he went left or right or up or down, the crazy Japanese pilot would make the same maneuver and hit him.
The Japanese were crazy, but he was not crazy. He had to drive the fighter plane back to the airport intact. He couldn't die with this damn Japanese pilot. Although he did not lack the courage to die with the enemy.
Now the only thing he could do was to continue shooting, kill him, bomb the plane, and earn a glimmer of life for himself.
The crazy red bullet belt swept the 96 land attack accurately with the naked eye, causing sparks to fly on the fuselage of the Japanese plane.
On the ground, the Chinese soldiers who were almost cheering looked at the Japanese plane that had begun to emit thick smoke in disbelief, and rushed towards their own fighter plane that had almost won the victory.
Even if they didn't understand flying, they knew that at such a high speed and such a short distance, almost no one could escape, even if the Chinese fighter plane that was about to be painted with five red stars was the ace of aces.
Shen Chonghai on the ground looked up at the sky, like a wooden sculpture!
The teacher who raised his flying skills by at least two levels would die here?
This blow was even greater than the moment when he knew that he could not save the fighter plane and was ordered to parachute to survive.
Gu Xishui sighed slightly!
The entire reconnaissance team also lowered their heads in silence, and no one dared to look at the tragic scene!
The final victory is not the sweetness of fine wine, but the spicy throat! Because, this is the battlefield, and sacrifice is the only basis for victory!
On the other hand, the Japanese soldiers on the ground were also stimulated by the heroic behavior of their own fighter planes.
The slogans of "Be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and be proud of the Empire!" were heard in every corner, and the declining morale reached its peak again.
The 17th Division Command, which was originally cheering, was now silent!
The white-haired general's white hair trembled slightly in the mountain breeze. At that moment, it seemed to pull the middle-aged man back to the battlefield full of frost in the morning last year. Under the white frost, there was deep blue!
When will the Chinese army stop sacrificing like this? That was the general's wish.
But sacrifice is still imminent!
Tang Dao's hand clenched suddenly. He had never seen this pilot, but he also knew how important an ace pilot was to China at this time.
In the past year, all the elites of the Chinese Air Force were buried in the blue sky. Now, is another person's name going to be engraved?
There were tears in his eyes when he looked up at the sky, but there were no traces of tears!
That was the fate of being a soldier in this era. He tried his best to kill the enemies one by one, but he also had to watch his comrades fall one by one, say goodbye to himself one by one, and wave goodbye to himself and walk away!
Suddenly, Shen Chonghai, who had already burst into tears on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes wide!
All the Chinese and Japanese soldiers on the ground who watched silently as the two planes approached to 100 meters and collided into a ball of fire in just one third of a second, suddenly opened their eyes wide.
The Japanese have the madness of Japanese Bushido.
The Chinese have never lacked the courage to sacrifice.
"No!" With a heart-wrenching roar, the Air Force lieutenant stretched his hand into the air, as if to pull back something!
But he couldn't pull anything!
With a loud bang, the Air Force lieutenant retracted his arm somewhat woodenly, and just stood there with his head down, without a sound, like a dead tree that had lost all vitality!
"Take him away!" Gu Xishui looked at the handsome Chinese pilot with some pity, but waved his hand calmly enough to give the order.
He understood the mood of the second lieutenant at this moment, because he had also lost his beloved on the battlefield like this.
Fortunately, the Japanese search team should have been attracted by the battle in the sky and did not track him immediately!
The Chinese Air Force pilots in the sky completed their mission, and he must also take the pilots home. This is his mission!
"All members of the 17th Division Headquarters, salute my heroic Chinese Air Force!" The white-haired general roared.
"Salute!" On the small hillside, a group of dark blue stood upright.
Look up at the sky!
Because, in the sky, there is a monument to the Chinese army!
And the Japanese were stunned!
