Chapter 1466: The Decisive Battle at the Sky (Part 1)
An instructor witnessed his students dying in the sky one by one and resolutely made his own choice. He was like Zhao Zilong in the air. Although he had no achievements, he delayed the Black Hawk Army bomber group with his own strength, so that the aviation bombs still did not fall on his beloved land ten minutes later.
And that is just a small microcosm of the brave and fearless air force of this era.
In the blue sky, the remaining Kingdom Air Force is still fighting the Black Hawk Imperial Army's fighter planes.
This battle may be the last battle of the Kingdom Air Force.
Hawk III is gone, there is also the magical "Thunder and Lightning", the Kingdom Air Force is gone, but there are still people from the Kingdom. Even though they were born in a foreign country, they still have black hair, black eyes, yellow skin, and their accents are mixed with foreign flavors, but they also have more local accents. Their fathers and ancestors live on this land, and since they came to the motherland, they have been kingdoms.
The inheritance of blood will never change due to the change of birthplace.
They are brave and fearless, and they are thriving in the sky. The extremely fast and extremely strong characteristics of the magic-modified "Thunder and Lightning" fighter jets are fully utilized. Once they fight to the death, even a small team of three enemy aircraft have to avoid their attacks and not fight to the forefront. If they are "biting" by those madmen, they may not die, but the fighter jets "biting" by him will definitely be done. This is the experience taught by the old birds who have lived in the air battle in the Battle of Haicheng two months ago.
The pilots of the Black Hawk HNA were also selected by thousands of elites. They were also very smart. They used the advantage of the 96 fighter's bending maneuverability that was better than the magic-modified "Thunderbolt" to fight with the Kingdom fighter without dying. Two months of air combat allowed them to know a huge weakness of this batch of Kingdom fighter imported from overseas.
The 1,200-horsepower Merlin engine of magically modified "Thunderbolt" developed by Rolls-Royce, has a horsepower far exceeding all fighters of this era. Because of this huge advantage, the fighter can unscrupulously load armor. The entire pilot's cockpit even dares to install 10mm thick steel plates and a radio call device weighing more than 100 kilograms. The air importance of the entire fighter is as heavy as 600 kilograms than the Type 96 fighter.
However, because of this, the magic-modified "thunder and lightning" also consumes more fuel. Even if the fuel tank is much larger than the Type 96, it still has only an extreme combat radius of 600 kilometers, and the air combat time cannot exceed 20 minutes in the area with the extreme combat radius.
This is the biggest disadvantage of this batch of kingdom fighter jets with excellent performance. Moreover, the Black Hawk HNA pilots are sure that this batch of fighter jets with a small number will not escape. Otherwise, when they turn on the afterburner and escape at the highest speed, the 96 fighter jets may have to follow behind at the highest speed of 400 kilometers. Fighting with them with the advantage of quantity and dragging them until the fuel is exhausted is the best tactic to deal with this batch of fighter jets.
The Black Hawk Empire's extremely cunning tactics were very effective. After more than 40 minutes of air combat, the magic-changing "Thunder" fighter jets took all their efforts and only killed no more than six enemy aircraft, but were dragged by the more flexible enemy aircraft, causing the Black Hawk bomber formation to break through the defense circle.
Fortunately, they had an instructor who was even less afraid of death, and he held the Black Hawks bomber fleet for 10 minutes with his own strength.
The Black Hawks bomber group eventually failed to enter the city. At the moment the dilapidated trainer disappeared in the distance with thick smoke, a group of small black dots flew over the other side of the city.
The people of the kingdom who were clenched with fists under the city were filled with despair, who were ready to wait for death, were cheering and thundering.
That was the painted kingdom fighter formation.
Zhou Dapeng and Le Yiqing led the last batch of aircraft formations of the Kingdom fighter jets to fight back at the most critical moment.
The distance of 150 kilometers is almost 40 minutes at the normal cruising speed of 260 kilometers per hour for propeller aircraft in this era, but it took less than 25 minutes to open the afterburner formation of Kingdom fighter jets, with an average speed of 360 kilometers per hour designed by Hawk III.
Don’t think that fighter jets can fly at the highest speed by designing the maximum speed. This will not only consume a lot of fuel, but also cause irreversible damage to the engine. Without any necessity, pilots will never damage their planes by continuously flying at the highest speed. This is like future family cars, with the maximum speed marked up to 200 kilometers, but many people have scrapped the car and never drove it to the maximum speed marked.
But Le Yiqing did this, the reason is simpler. If the airport is bombed and the capital is bombed, what else do the fighter planes do? What else do the Kingdom Air Force do? Even if the plane is scrapped, it will be scrapped on the battlefield.
The 150-kilometer journey is very far for people walking and very close to planes, but at this 150-kilometer distance, only three of the four Hawk IIIs left after the Minghuang Township air battle can reach the edge of the battlefield above the capital.
After 20 minutes of flying at full speed, the engine could no longer maintain such a limit speed. The engine exploded and the sudden stall caused the body to disintegrate directly in the air. Just ahead of the "Sky Battle General" hundreds of meters away, it was visible to the naked eye that his comrades smashed into the ground like a meteor.
The young lieutenant of the Kingdom Air Force burst into tears in an instant. How could he not be sad? The fighter pilot number 187 is his fellow townsman and senior at the Central Aviation School. After he entered the aviation school, he gave his brother-like care and help. Death in the battle is the destination of every Kingdom Air Force in this blue sky, seeking kindness and gaining kindness. However, his senior did not die on the battlefield, but died in the military order he ordered to fly at full speed. If he ordered to fly at a speed of 340 kilometers per hour, perhaps his senior's fighter engine could still hold on, and perhaps he would have the opportunity to welcome his glory.

However, when Zhou Dapeng, who was standing by the side of the flying, asked, the young Air Force lieutenant shook his head in tears and refused. If he lost time, even if he arrived at the battlefield, how could he face the thousands of compatriots under the ruins? With the anger of a long roaring to the sky? Instead of this, he would rather die with the people, even on the way to the battlefield.
Fortunately, they arrived in time.
They saw the shadow of the Black Hawk Army bomber group ten kilometers away opposite.
The Black Hawk Army bomber group, which had just driven away a Kingdom fighter plane that was not afraid of death, regrouped and prepared to re-form, also saw the Kingdom aircraft group that was rushing towards the other end of the city at lightning, and its souls were surging.
They didn't want to appreciate the tragedy of the previous round of bombers. Even though they had enough time to transform the urban under the ground into rubble when the Kingdom fighter jets arrived, they were timid.
They shook their wings and dropped bombs on the edge of the city, blew the paddy fields into a mess, and then quickly turned and fled backwards. There were dozens of fighter aircraft groups ten kilometers away, which made them feel a little safe.
Liu Lan naturally failed to see this scene. The bomber under his seat had been hit by the Kingdom fighter jet and had already turned ahead of schedule to escape from the edge of the battlefield and galloped towards Taihu Lake.
Otherwise, he might be able to record more heroic in his private diary. Of course, if he was still there, he would likely become a member of the ruins with the 96 dive bomber under his seat.
Upon receiving the news of the attack of the Kingdom fighter formation, the Black Hawks fighter jets in the sky broke away from the battle group and re-formed and hovered in the air. The exhausted Kingdom fighter jets were also able to breathe and regain the sky near the city.
In the air, without shelter, you can only fight besides fighting. If there is no subsequent arrival of these kingdom fighters, the final result is likely to be the same as the tactics performed by the Black Hawks fighter jets. They will be fought and run out of fuel and will eventually have to fail.
No matter how fearless he is, he cannot replace the fuel. No one can fight in a fighter plane that has lost all power, even if he wants to hit him.
The limit steering of the air dive pull-up for more than 40 minutes has put the fuel gauge indicator lights of many Kingdom fighters in a dangerous position. In just ten minutes, they have to choose to return to the airport to refuel. Although the Black Hawk military aircraft group has come from 300 kilometers away, they have a secondary fuel tank before they fly to this airspace, and the load is much smaller. They can return with 10 minutes of combat time in this air than Kingdom fighters.
However, no one knew that the more than ten Kingdom fighters who came to support were actually at the end of their power. Hawk III had long flights at a limited maximum speed, which had already made the engine overload. Not to mention the fierce battle for more than ten minutes, I was afraid that the engine would explode if it did a few extreme air tactical actions.
But this is not the most terrifying thing. The most terrifying thing is Zhou Dapeng and others who use the magic-modified "Thunderbolt" fighter as the main model. The Merlin engine of the fighter under their seats is on the verge of being more dangerous.
Not to mention that the Black Hawk Empire people could not know the biggest flaw of Merlin's engine, the Rolls-Royce company did not know the problem of the most advanced engine they developed. In the play, the Spitfire fighter equipped by the Dark Yuan Empire attacked the BF109, the best fighter in the Zhouhui Kingdom, was not able to fight back. However, after many fierce air battles, the Spitfire fighter with excellent performance suddenly crashed during its return.
That's because the steel of the secondary supercharger inside this superpowered engine developed urgently was not strong enough, and it would suddenly break under high-speed harsh working conditions, causing the engine to suddenly stop. No one would know that the high-speed combat opportunity equipped with the Merlin engine would explode after the first spraying and dive.
Including these pilots who came to the Kingdom, they discovered this defect in the later stages of the war, but they could no longer obtain new engines. Therefore, they could only fight with their heads and wires. Every maneuvering and violent dive could be the last beauty of the fighter. If no one was willing to maneuver at a speed of more than 450 kilometers per hour, that was also the main reason why the Black Hawk Army's 96 fighter has not suffered much loss until now. Otherwise, their losses would be much greater than now.
It’s not that these pilots are timid and dare not sacrifice, but that they must live, otherwise, this blue sky will not belong to the kingdom.
Sometimes, choosing to live is more difficult than choosing to die.
Zhou Dapeng, who arrived at the battlefield, had to face this difficult choice. Nearly 30 fighter jets hovered in the sky of the capital, and the fuel was insufficient. More importantly, after a fierce air battle and long-distance high-speed flight, all fighter engines were becoming increasingly dangerous.
If we fight again, it is likely to be the last battle.
