Chapter 310 Air Combat Trap 1

The night attack on Tokyo completely hit the Japanese weakness. The Japanese had few night fighters, and according to their recent habit, they went to the open sea to search for American bombers who were laying mines. As a result, when they got to Tokyo, they were attacked by a massive force.

When the news of the large-scale air raid came, they were still wandering in the open sea. By the time they rushed back, the Americans had already completed dropping bombs, and took advantage of the strong updraft over the burning Tokyo to climb to an altitude of 10,000 meters.

Started to return home.

The B-29 bombers that lost all their bombs flew even faster than the Japanese night fighters. In addition, they climbed so high that the Japanese night fighters that rushed back in a hurry had almost no effect. Compared with the original

In that air strike in that time and space, the losses suffered by the US military were even smaller. In the original time and space, the Americans were shot down 9 B-29s, and 5 more were seriously injured and died.

They had to make an emergency landing on the sea. Of course, compared to the results of the battle, such losses were already very small. But this time, because they took a ride on General Spruance's attack on the Japanese mainland, and the Japanese's limited night fighters all ran away

Due to the problem of being in the wrong place, the US military only lost 3 B-29s, and two more B-29s were injured and successfully landed at the alternate airport on Iwo Jima.

Early the next morning, Li Mei sent another B-29 plane to fly over Tokyo and take photos to help judge the effect of last night's bombing. At this time, the fire in Tokyo had just been extinguished. Of course, the big fire

The fire was not put out, but extinguished naturally after burning everything that could burn. Almost a quarter of the entire Tokyo was burned, and no less than 100,000 Japanese were burned to death. Now look at it from the plane

, the places burned by the fire are like big scars, stuck to the ground of Tokyo.

This B-29 carried no bombs at all and came lightly loaded. Of course it flew high and fast. With the performance of Japanese fighter jets, it was extremely difficult to intercept such a target. However, when this aircraft was intercepted by the Japanese

After the radar discovered it, the Japanese actually sent 6 fighter jets to intercept it, as if they would not give up until it was killed.

The Japanese sent 6 Type 2 single combat "Zhong Kui" fighter jets. Among Japanese fighter jets, the "Zhong Kui" is a type of fighter that climbs very quickly and dives very well. Of course, judging from the standards of 1945, the "Zhong Kui" 600

The highest in kilometers

The speed and the firepower of the four 12.7mm machine guns are a bit behind. However, considering the climbing rate of being able to climb to an altitude of 5 kilometers in less than 5 minutes, this is now the most suitable weapon for intercepting b-29s.

Japanese plane.

Originally, the Japanese would never send so many planes to a mere B-29. Moreover, this plane flew so high and fast, and the coastal radar was very close to detecting it.

In fact, there was not enough time to intercept. In the past, the Japanese would at most report the aircraft's whereabouts to the anti-aircraft artillery unit, and would not send even a single fighter jet to intercept. Because this was just a waste of precious resources.

Just fuel.

But today's situation is indeed different. Last night, American demons attacked Tokyo. The brutal American demons dropped a large number of incendiary bombs. Many areas in Tokyo have been burned to the ground. It is said that hundreds of thousands of Japanese were killed or injured.

People. What’s even more hateful is that these beauties

The national ghost actually... actually set fire to the Yasukuni Shrine! This! This is really intolerable! So, when this B-29 appeared, the Japanese actually dispatched six fighter jets at once. It seemed that they sent too many fighter jets.

, it will climb faster.

The b-29 simply ignored the fighter jets that were still climbing at low altitude, and flew towards downtown Tokyo at full speed. At an altitude of 10,000 meters and a speed of more than 500 kilometers, this was not something that Japanese fighter jets could easily keep up with.

.In the blink of an eye, this B-29 bomber had already appeared in the sky over downtown Tokyo.

The B-29 slowed down a little, circled over the area bombed by yesterday's incendiary bombs, took some photos, and then flew all the way to the Emperor's Palace, where it circled a few more times, and then

Then it turned around and accelerated towards the open sea. But until this moment, the fighter jets that intercepted it still failed to climb to the corresponding height.

This B-29 hovering over the Japanese Imperial Palace for several weeks has once again made the Japanese army panic and angry after yesterday's bombing. Everyone knows that the lightly loaded bomber is mostly here to conduct bombing effect assessment and reconnaissance

mission. And a reconnaissance aircraft circled the emperor's palace.

, what does this mean? Are you saying that the American ghosts are still planning to offend His Majesty the Emperor? Just thinking about it makes people feel angry. This is absolutely intolerable! But what happens after the anger? This is not a game. No matter how high the anger value is, there is nothing scary.

You can use his ultimate move, but you can't stop it if you should.

Therefore, after the Japanese were angry, they immediately made two decisions: the first was to immediately transfer the emperor from the palace, and the second was to issue an order to the air defense forces to defend the emperor's palace to the death. So in the Japanese archipelago

The entire Japan Army Airlines and Japan Hainan Airlines were quickly mobilized.

The reconnaissance plane left at eight o'clock in the morning. Three hours later, Japanese radar detected a huge fleet approaching Tokyo.

"Enemy aircraft formation discovered! There are a lot of them!" Radar Soldier Okada shouted.

The vague reporting method of "large quantity" is also forced because the Japanese radar technology has not yet developed to accurately detect low-level attacks.

"The enemy plane is 70 kilometers away, 7,000 meters high, and 480 kilometers per hour." Okada quickly reported this series of numbers, while thinking to himself: "These look like bombers. There may be more than two hundred in number?"

Flying at this height, our fighter jets can still reach it."

When the Japanese military radar determines the type of enemy aircraft, it mainly relies on the detection of the intensity of the enemy aircraft's radar echo and its flight status.

"Sure enough, it's here!" Almost all the Japanese personnel who had been notified had such a sentence in their heads. At this time, except for a few fighter planes already cruising in the sky (the Japanese army was extremely short of fuel and could not support too many

The aircraft is on standby in the air), other Japanese fighter planes are also in combat readiness, and the pilots are fully dressed and sitting in the cockpit.

Following orders from their superiors, countless Japanese fighter planes took off, preparing to intercept these hateful American monsters.



More than 600 fighter jets are flying towards Japan at an altitude of 7,000 meters in a formation of four aircraft. These formations are quite dense, and the distance between each aircraft and its teammates is only about two meters.

.In this era, radar simply cannot distinguish such dense targets. They

It is easy to interpret such a formation as a heavy bomber. And now, the flying altitude and flying speed adopted by these American fighters are also very similar to the habits of the bomber force. Therefore, Ron can almost conclude that

, the enemy will definitely judge them as a bomber group.

Last night's bombing should have made the Japanese angry. This morning's provocation would make them mistakenly believe that the Emperor's Palace will be the target of attack. And the fleet of aircraft now appearing is almost confirmation to the Japanese.

If their worries are raised, they will definitely think that these "bombers" are heading for the Emperor's Palace.

So, these Japanese will definitely send planes into the sky to intercept them. When these Japanese planes climb up, they find that their opponents are not bombers, but a large number of American fighter jets. They will probably be dumbfounded.

? Ron thought this, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.



Naoto Komatsu was driving his Type 5 Hayate fighter hard to climb. At the same time, the voice of ground guidance continued to come from the radio:

"Turn to direction 014 and continue climbing at the maximum climb rate!"

The opponent is a bomber, which means that the initiative in the battle lies with itself. Fighters can choose the time to engage in battles with bombers, while bombers can only passively wait for fighter attacks. So use a larger climb rate to climb,

Even if the horizontal speed is reduced a bit as a result, it doesn't matter. Can the enemy's bombers take advantage of the fact that the horizontal speed of the fighter jets is not high and actively attack them?



Now the mixed formation of P-51 and P-81 fighter jets has arrived over Tokyo Bay. At this time, Japanese fighter jets appeared below them from ten o'clock to two o'clock.

"Disband the dense formation! Prepare to fight!" Major Loder, the squadron leader of the P-81 fighter formation flying at the front, gave the order, and then he pushed the throttle valve to the end, and the two Double Wasp engines roared crazily.

When he got up, the P-81, which was flying at a low speed of 480 kilometers, suddenly jumped forward, and the pointer on the speedometer also rotated rapidly. In a short period of time, the P-81 accelerated to nearly 600 kilometers.

per hour.



The U.S. military formation had appeared in Komatsu's field of vision. From a distance, it looked like bombers, but in the blink of an eye, the enemy planes that looked like heavy bombers dispersed.

"Could it be that God blessed Japan and caused the enemy plane to disintegrate in the air?" Such a strange thought suddenly appeared in Xiaosong's head. But in a blink of an eye, he understood that this was not the enemy plane disintegrating in the air, but
