The zero fighter piloted by Sato found his opponent in the clouds, and 40 p-40 fighters took off from the United States Navy Aviation. As he always did with American planes, he dispersed to prepare to fight against the oncoming U.S. fighters, but it was only a face-up. Sato felt that these U.S. planes were not the same as in the past.

In the early days of the Pacific battlefield, American pilots were novices. These newcomers were inevitably nervous when facing enemy pilots, but the base of American pilots is too large. They have complete training and learning systems, so they can quickly compensate for losses quantity.

In another time and space, once the fighter pilots of the United States showed the trump card, they were immediately transferred back to China to train the novice pilots. This system guarantees that although American pilots suffer heavy losses, they can always supplement more powerful pilots. To put it simply, American pilots all return to the rear to teach novices, so that novice pilots are always on the front line in the United States. However, the "newbies" added by the United States have higher flying skills from one generation to the next. This is based on strategic supplements under a large base.

However, Japanese pilots cannot do this. Japan has far fewer people to fly than the United States. For most Japanese, flying is definitely a distant and mysterious thing. Therefore, Japanese ace pilots can only fight on the front line all day. When Japan loses a pilot, it is very difficult to supplement.

Therefore, this has to be brought back to the level of competition for comprehensive national strength for analysis. Do n’t underestimate how many cars a country has in peacetime, because it ’s not difficult to teach a car driver to drive a tank. For the same reason, American farms use airplanes to spray pesticides. As many as tens of thousands of people have piloted and contacted aircraft This is actually a huge war potential unmatched by Japan.

Akado vigorously improves the automobile penetration rate in Germany, so the German mechanized army can recruit enough manpower to supplement and expand. With his efforts, Germany ’s compulsory education has spread to high schools, which has reserved a large number of outstanding reserve talents for the German team. Once these people become soldiers, people who have studied subjects such as mathematical geometry will receive training such as artillery aiming faster.

When Germany secretly established its own flying club, the Treaty of Versailles still existed. However, dozens of flying clubs, large and small, have reserved at least 50,000 flying talents for the Luftwaffe. These air force pilots tempered slightly at the beginning of the war and became the elite of the Luftwaffe sweeping Europe. With the world's leading weapons and equipment, they are still the most daunting air force in the world.

After research by the German Air Force, the blood circulation method more suitable for the German Air Force was determined. They regularly return ace pilots from various fronts to Germany to train newcomers who will soon become fighter pilots. This will not only ensure the elite combat effectiveness of the frontline pilots, but also ensure that the training of the German pilots is more advanced and avant-garde.

However, this kind of trick is still not learned in Japan, because Germany's perfect education system and the general "mechanical quality" of the people are much higher than that of Japan, so the speed of supplementing pilots by both sides is not at the same level. With the efforts of Akado, Germany is now replenishing pilots at almost the same speed as the United States, and with higher quality.

Sato doesn't have so many twists and turns in his mind, he only knows to shoot down the American planes in front of him, to assault Japanese ships for the Japanese torpedo attack aircraft that follows, and win a safe environment. He piloted his own plane, relying on the light flight status of the Zero fighter, and quickly bite an American fighter.

"Strange!" He muttered, because when he just bit his opponent, he felt that the opponent's plane was obviously not the same as the p-40 fighter he had seen before. After he adjusted the angle of attack, he found that the distance between the two sides was not shortened at all, and he remained relatively far away.

At this time, he suddenly realized that his feelings were correct. The American planes were indeed different from the previous ones-these p-40s were faster! He had no way to fire, so he could only bite the American plane, hoping to find a suitable attack opportunity.

It is not that he is not accurate enough, because Sato is one of the best combat masters in the Japanese naval aviation, but the gun power of this Zero fighter he is driving is too small, and the trajectory is severely bent when attacking a distant target. There is really no accurate head . What makes him feel helpless is that he only has 60 rounds of machine guns. After all the deviations, he can only bid farewell to the battlefield and return to the ground to add ammunition.

Why not switch to a more powerful cannon? This question Sato also wants to ask the design department of the zero fighter, but the various reasons are not understood by such a small pilot. In fact, Japan has entered a devil's strange circle in aircraft design, which is also a typical sad ending caused by "adding the wrong technology points".

Japan itself does not have excellent engine technology reserves, so when Japan needs a new type of fighter, it can only make a fuss on the world's second-rate engine to create a "malformed" fighter that can meet the needs of the military. This made Japanese aircraft a different type in the history of the development of world fighter jets, and became one of the few major participating countries in World War II who had embarked on a fighter jet design that did not return.

Zero fighter engines have insufficient engine power, so they save fuel. However, in order to pursue flight performance, the weight of the fighter can only be reduced frantically. Eventually, Japanese aircraft began to use a lot of aluminum-magnesium alloys, and the weight of the aircraft was reduced to the extreme. This allows Japanese aircraft to have extremely low wing loads, excellent flight performance and terrible range.

But this allowed Japanese aircraft to experience a short period of "invincibility in the world" at the beginning of 1938, while also allowing Japanese aircraft design to enter a dead end. The low power of the aircraft engine makes the aircraft light in weight. The light weight results in insufficient structural strength, and the insufficient structural strength results in the inability to equip more powerful weapon systems. At this point, in fact, the biggest shortcomings of the zero fighter are mentioned-this aircraft can not be improved!

If a high-power engine is replaced and the zero-speed flight speed is increased, the aircraft will be disintegrated in the air due to insufficient strength, so the structural design of the zero-plane aircraft will also be changed when the engine is replaced. Changing the structural design will cause a weight change In addition, the increased engine power has to be wasted, and the increase in fuel consumption will also cause the aircraft's range to decrease. Conversely speaking: the engine has been changed, the structure has been changed, and the performance curve has been deformed ... How is this different from redesigning an airplane?

Therefore, it is a very difficult thing to replace the zero fighter with a more powerful weapon system. The recoil becomes greater, which will cause the structural strength of the zero aircraft, so the Japanese Air Force pilots can only endure from beginning to end. The curved trajectory can only helplessly accept the fact that the range of his 20mm caliber cannon is not as good as the opponent's 12.7mm caliber machine gun.

Sato was driving the plane and biting the tail of the American fighter. His opponent seemed to know the shortcomings of the lack of the ability of the zero fighter to roll. He was using this action to hope to get rid of Sato ’s entanglement, but Sato ’s flying technology was very powerful. He was carefully driving himself Aircraft always bite opponents at extreme distances.

Suddenly, he felt the danger, which was an instinct for long battles on the front line. So he quickly changed his flight status and quickly started the climb that the Zero fighter was better at. Just as he suddenly pulled up the plane, a row of bullets swept towards his frontal position, scaring him to almost open the hatch and jump.

"Baga!" Sato cursed loudly, driving the aircraft at a high speed to get rid of the entanglement of the flanking U.S. aircraft. At this time, he discovered that the two U.S. aircraft used a strange hovering pattern that could The fighter is not good at scrolling to find the opportunity to fire and shoot down the zero-flying aircraft.

Sato was lucky because he changed his flying posture at the most dangerous time, but the other Japanese pilots in the fighter formation were not so lucky, just after he finally got rid of the pursuit of the American plane, he found his Three aircraft have been shot down by the US military.

"Baga! Yeah! The whole army is attacking! There will be a death battle!" Anger anger, Sato eyebrows upright, pushing the aircraft's joystick fiercely, driving the aircraft back to the battle circle, looking for American fighters to fire, trying to fire His familiar men revenge. However, the speed of the US aircraft has increased, which makes him very unaccustomed to a suitable attack method for a while.

...

At the same moment, an American combat staff member walked excitedly behind the aircraft carrier fleet commander, General Spruance, and stood up to salute: "General! The fighter unit of Major Hawke has returned news that they are working with the Japanese. Engagement has already achieved the results of shooting down 5 fighters! "

Spruance's eyes lit up, then turned around and took the report, looked it over carefully, and then a smile appeared on his face, and returned the information to the officer who sent the report: "There is nothing to worry about now. That ’s it! We ’ve got back the initiative! Send a message to General Nimitz! In a word: 'You can fight!' "

On the morning of August 30th, the US Pacific Fleet began to turn to the left, and all warships joined the second battle of Pearl Harbor without turning back. Every American captain received a short message from Nimitz, with only one sentence on it: "You can fight!"
