Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 468: Exploding Pingjin

The pilots who arrived at the air defense position at the airport were puzzled. They recognized that these were anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. Even if they were made by the United States, they were still those things. Air combat in this era was mainly about fighter jets from both sides fighting at close range in the air. They paid attention to

It is a close-quarters combat, which is a comprehensive reflection of the trinity of aircraft performance, pilot's fighting will and flying skills.

In the era of propeller aircraft, individual heroism was advocated and more of a test of pilots' courage. The Air Force was also a service with many heroes. However, in the eyes of some ace pilots, ground anti-aircraft firepower was not worth mentioning, especially shooting accuracy and aiming at the nose.

If you can hit the knee, you can only use intensive firepower to make up for the lack of accuracy. The sky is full of flowers. Even if you are unlucky, you often can't hit a single plane with hundreds of rounds.

Tang Qiuli told everyone that tomorrow morning, we will have an air-to-ground confrontation first. If the ground anti-aircraft firepower is really as vulnerable as you said, how about immediately comprehensively revising the combat plan and focusing on the air force?

Gao Zhihang and the others looked at each other, Vice Chairman Tang was really an amateur, and he was also persistent enough. Do the results still need to be proved? Is it unnecessary? However, no one said this, it hurts people's self-esteem!

Early the next morning, the pilots all arrived at the airport. Tang Qiuli was waiting there early, but a question arose, who would be the target drone? As the name suggests, it is used as a target for exercises. A target is dragged behind the aircraft to perform tactical actions.

Hit the target through air and ground anti-aircraft fire, it's that simple.

To be honest, no one wants to go. It’s not that they’re afraid of death. My legs never trembled when I faced off against the Japanese. What I’m afraid of is the shooting accuracy of the anti-aircraft guns. If you miss the target and beat yourself down, that’s an injustice.

Everyone was silent for a while. No one wanted to take on this job. Tang Qiuli looked at them with a smile, Le Yiqin gritted his teeth, "I'll do it." His expression was like that of an execution ground.

Le Yiqin flew through the predetermined airspace. The target was dragged far behind the aircraft. Its shape and size were similar to the Japanese "90" fighter jet. The air defense force also spent a lot of thought. The division commander's words last night made these

The soldiers are holding back their anger. They are all soldiers. Why should the pilots look down upon them? Do a good job and open their eyes!

Le Yiqin was flying the plane listlessly, thinking that the situation was not good, so he quickly got rid of the target drone to avoid being shot down by his own people. Several fireworks exploded in the air. Before Le Yiqin could react, the tower came from the earphones.

The voice ordered him to return, and he let out a sigh of relief, finally finishing the task.

When he got off the plane, he noticed that something was wrong with Gao Zhihang's and his others' faces. They looked ugly and confused. Gao Zhihang glared at him fiercely and shook his head, meaning go and see for yourself. Le Yiqin ran over and took a look.

, I was dumbfounded. The target drone was hit by five artillery shells. Only the long tow rope and a little debris were left. The rest were blown away.

Gao Zhihang and the others saw with their own eyes that all five shells in the first round of the single cannon hit, and the result was incredible. Then, Li Guidan went up again, but he still didn't dodge a single shot. The target drone was blown to pieces in the air. Gao Zhihang couldn't sit still.

, he kisses

Since entering the battle, he has been worthy of being the number one ace of the Chinese Air Force. Two artillery shells missed, three hit, and the target aircraft was also blown to pieces. Under the power of the "Sky Eye" artillery sighting radar, such results can be achieved.

He is proud enough!

Needless to say, the facts are the best explanation. The pilots were silent. They were wondering, could it be that the anti-aircraft guns of Vice Chairman Tang’s troops had eyes in the sky? At an altitude of several thousand meters, they could shoot so accurately, especially

It's Gao Zhihang. He is confident that he can survive the firepower of more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns, but he is just a cannon. Is it strange?

The sun-shooting plan was carried out according to the original plan. These proud flying eagles were unwilling to serve as bait. Tang Qiuli emphasized in particular that they must not fight outside the preset ambush airspace. Once the Japanese aircraft catch up, you must use

Pass as quickly as possible. This was an order. He glanced at Gao Zhihang specifically.

To be honest, he really didn't worry about these pilots whose eyes turned red when they saw the Japanese, especially Gao Zhihang, a rebellious guy. Once his eyes turned red, he would get entangled with the Japanese aircraft, and the shells flying all over the sky would really be lost.

Something unexpected happened. Gao Zhihang understood what Vice Chairman Tang meant, touched his hair in embarrassment, and smiled awkwardly.

In the afternoon, preparations for tomorrow's battle were carried out. The bombs provided by Dingbian Arsenal were an eye-opener for everyone at Jianqiao Aviation School. Ever since Zhou Yushan got the Japanese plane back, Wang Xu and others in Huangyadong knew that sooner or later,

To use it, in accordance with Wang Xu's consistent requirements, weapons research and development must be at the forefront of the war.

The American "Hawker 3" aircraft can hang four medium-sized bombs under its wings. It is a fighter-bomber type. All twenty aircraft carry a type of air-explosion aerial bomb called "Hongtian Lei". This type of bomb can fly at a high distance from the ground.

The one-hundred-meter aerial explosion is specially used to kill ground troops and combat equipment. In addition, high-explosive explosives are added, which are even more powerful than heavy bombs. Within a radius of five to six hundred meters, there is no chance of survival.

Extremely powerful.

The bombers all carry heavy bombs used to attack ground targets, as well as ground-penetrating bombs specifically used to destroy airport runways. These bombs explode about two meters underground. A field airport that can accommodate thirty aircraft can

Five or six will paralyze it for at least a month, and it is the biggest weapon against the oil depot hidden underground.

Gao Zhihang and others have become numb to the various new weapons provided by Dingbian. This young Vice Chairman Tang has become even more mysterious in their hearts, and they are increasingly unable to see how big or deep he is.

Strength, they also put forward the opinion that you cannot fly a plane covered in plaster to fight against the Japs. The appearance of the plane must be painted.

Tang Qiuli slapped his head and forgot about this problem. To be honest, he really didn't like the Japanese "Type 90" aircraft. It was too fragile, but it had to have its own mark. Those two people flying from Jianqiao

Cross Hawker 3, the fuselage is painted with national

The government's national emblem is a blue sky and a white sun. On top of the national emblem, one's own aircraft spray-paint a golden eagle with wings spread to show that it is different from the central air force. It also indicates that the air force of the ** Division will spread its wings and fly high like an eagle.

!

The morning sun rose and there were no clouds in the sky. It was a perfect weather. Tang Qiuli's mood was the same as the high sky, full of sunshine. He watched Gao Zhihang lead the fleet and disappeared into the depths of the blue sky. It took him a long time to look away.

I believe that this battle will be won, it just depends on the size of the result.

Last night, the combat plan was revised again. In view of the outstanding performance of anti-aircraft firepower, Gao Zhihang and the others proposed to expand the scope of the attack to all Japanese airports in the Pingjin area.

They tasted the feeling of bombs falling on their heads. This was Gao Zhihang's original words. The fleet was divided into two parts, led by Gao Zhihang and Li Guidan respectively, to raid the Japanese airports in Peiping and Tianjin.

All of this relies on the "Eye of the Sky" radar system. As soon as the Japanese plane takes off, it cannot escape. Now, Tang Qiuli is on the radar screen, looking at the small green dot representing the Gao Zhihang fleet, pointing towards

Sharp arrows were shot towards the Pingjin area.

On the outskirts of Peiping, Nanyuan Airport is a busy scene. Japanese ground crews inside the airport are conducting routine pre-flight inspections. All the aircraft are in the hangar. On one side of the runway, Japanese pilots are taking photos in neat formation.

Shouting slogans and doing routine training.

Nanyuan Airport is the largest field airport of the Japanese army in North China, with more than 130 aircraft of various types. The North China Expeditionary Army Air Force Headquarters is also located here. It is the backbone of North China's air defense and is heavily guarded.

, within one kilometer of the airport, there are artificially demolished open areas, lined with barbed wire fences, two trenches ten meters wide and six meters deep, and minefields scattered all over. If the Chinese come close here, they can be shot on the spot.

After the training of the Japanese pilots, it was time to have breakfast. They were walking towards the restaurant while chatting and laughing. A Japanese pilot with a very keen hearing suddenly stopped and pricked up his ears to catch what seemed to be unusual sounds in the air.

His eyes looked to the northwest suspiciously.

The companions laughed loudly. This guy has dog ears. He gets hairy when there is any movement. He is usually startled and makes a lot of jokes. There are a few guys who make shooting gestures with their hands and say "ta da" in their mouths.

imitating the sound of a machine gun.

Suddenly, this guy's face changed drastically and he yelled: "Enemy plane! Enemy plane!" The other guys laughed even harder, excited about their prank. I really wondered, how did this guy become a pilot? He is so timid.

Like a rat, I strongly despise it!

This guy's face turned pale. He did hear the sound of a large group of planes approaching the airport. It couldn't be the empire's fleet so early. Moreover, he didn't hear that the transfer plane was coming. There was only one possibility.

It was a Chinese plane. He grabbed the captain and gestured desperately toward the northwest. He was so anxious that he could not speak.

The captain threw away his hand in disgust, without even looking at him. Having such a person among his subordinates would really embarrass the Imperial Air Force. Seeing that no one was paying attention, this guy took out the pistol on his waist and pointed at him.

There were three gunshots in the sky, and the sharp gunshots shocked everyone. Isn't it serious? How big of a deal is it? Are you still shelling?

However, they had no chance to think about anything else. Even if they were deaf, they could still hear the deafening sound of the engines of the fleet approaching the sky. The captain immediately jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, shouting wildly, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Get on the plane," the leader ran to the hangar.

Seeing the Japanese soldiers running around like ants on the ground, Gao Zhihang shouted excitedly: "Brothers, you are doing a great job!"

As soon as he pressed the nose of the aircraft, the first one swooped down from high altitude, like an eagle catching a chicken. According to the division of labor, the fighter's goal was to destroy the ground's anti-aircraft firepower. He captured two Japanese anti-aircraft machine guns at once.

A few Japanese soldiers were busy pressing bullets. They never dreamed that an enemy plane would come to visit them.

There was a cruel sneer on Gao Zhihang's lips, and his hand slammed on the shooting button.
