Chapter 84 Ambush

() Sixteen Ki-43s circled and climbed under the cover of anti-aircraft guns. After climbing to an altitude of about 2,000 meters, they broke away from the cover of anti-aircraft guns and flew to the west.

Ronald and Christie hung far behind the Japanese fleet, and continuously reported the movements of the Japanese fighter fleet to the command center via radio.

"I have been honest for so many days, and finally I can't bear it anymore!" The command center was filled with joy. Even Ron and the always serious General Bissel also showed smiles.

"They are now in area No. 5, with an altitude of 2,000 meters, and are moving northwest at a speed of about 320 kilometers."

"Immediately notify Bugs Bunny's formation, Goofy's formation, Mickey Mouse's formation, and vampire's formation to gather in the third area." Ron gave the order while rubbing his hands excitedly, "Keep this group here and fight a few more times."

At this time, Japan's veteran pilots will be exhausted, and they will have to be substitutes."



Koga's Ki-44 is currently hovering at an altitude of 6,000 meters. The weather on this day is very good, very suitable for an ambush. The sky is filled with fish-scale cirrocumulus clouds. The height of these clouds is very high, and from

It ranges from 5,000 meters to 8,000 meters. The thickness of the clouds is not large, but they are very dense, and the distance between each small cloud is very small. When a fighter jet flies through such clouds, it not only has excellent concealment, but can also pass through the gaps between the clouds.

Observe the situation below through the gap. Of course, this kind of cloud also brings a trouble, that is, if a large group of aircraft is arranged very densely, it is easy to collide in the clouds, and if the distance between the aircraft is too large, it is easy for them to pass through the clouds.

They were separated when the time came. Especially in the current situation where radio silence must be maintained. Therefore, after climbing to this altitude, the group of 8 Ki-44s has been disbanded into 4 small formations of two aircraft.

Now, Koga's wingman is less than 20 meters behind him on the left side. As a combat formation, this distance is too small, but in order not to get separated, it has to be this way.

"Counting the time, it's almost time to attack?" After turning around in this airspace many times and passing in and out of the clouds many times, Koga became a little anxious. He has been hovering in this airspace for a long time.

, there is no guarantee that he will not be separated from his wingman.

Just thinking like this, Koga's Ki-44 once again got into a cloud. His eyes immediately turned white and he couldn't see anything. Only the roar of the engine echoed in his ears.

At this moment, a call came from the earphones that had been silent for a long time:

"Master Yin Yang calls Snow Girl, the target has appeared in area 8, prepare to attack, prepare to attack!"

Koga did not immediately turn into a dive. He knew that changing course in the clouds would definitely cause him to be separated from his wingman. So he turned on the radio.

"Xiaolin-kun, maintain the course and dive immediately after Izumo."

At this moment, his eyes suddenly lit up. The plane had already emerged from the clouds. He turned around and looked back. Kobayashi was still following behind. So Koga gently swung the joystick and made a 180-degree roll.

Turn around, then look down with your head held high.

Just below, directly below him, several P-51s were diving towards a group of Ki-43s.

These P-51s were like a group of sea eagles rushing towards them, while those Ki-43s were like schools of fish, gathering and dispersing to avoid their attacks.

"Now!" Koga suddenly pulled the control column and dived towards several P-51s that had just recovered from the dive and were climbing at a large angle.

Lucius is the captain of the P-51s that are being pulled up. In the previous dive, they damaged a Ki-43. Now there is obviously a problem with the control of that plane. Lucius

I believe that with another round of dive, he will definitely be able to make the plane fly into the sky. Perhaps the most correct thing for the Japanese pilot to do is to take advantage of the gap before the Americans launch the next attack and quickly parachute. But considering the following

In the uninhabited primitive jungle, if Japan really jumps, it is unlikely that she will be able to get out of this forest? In fact, even if she had received a few weeks of jungle survival knowledge education before the battle, and a week of

It’s a field practice, but if you skydive here, it’s probably still difficult to get out.

Just when Lucius was a little distracted, his fighter suddenly started shaking violently.

"Puff puff puff puff", this was the sound made when the fighter plane was hit by bullets. At the same time, several shadows flashed past the right side of Lucius' fighter plane.

Lucius quickly looked over and saw that they were several Japanese fighter jets with extremely thick heads, and a bright red sun logo on their small vertical tails.

"It's Ki-44! Damn it, they were ambushed!"

Lucius raised his head and looked around, and he saw two more Ki-44s diving towards his formation.

"7 o'clock direction, Japanese fighter!" He warned on the radio while swinging the control stick violently, intending to make a sharp turn. However, the aircraft's reaction became extremely slow.

"Damn, the aileron must be damaged."

The damaged ailerons made Lucius's aircraft extremely clumsy, so that during this round of attacks, it was hit by several more rounds of 12.7mm bullets. Fortunately, the most critical place was not hit, but the fuel tank began to

A fuel leak occurred.

Before those "Zhongkui" fighter jets pounced down again, Lucius finally transitioned into a dive - the structure of the P-51 was not damaged, so as long as there was enough time, it could still reach a high speed in the dive.

Then you can use this speed to escape.

Of course, the dive of the Ki-44 "Zhongkui" is also quite good, at least among Japanese fighter jets. Although the top dive speed of the P-51 is higher than that of the "Zhongkui", it is not easy to get rid of the Ki-44 by diving, especially

In a situation where the ailerons are damaged, resulting in slow movements, and the opponent's initial speed is higher than your own, the P-51 may be shot down by the enemy before its speed is fully exerted.

But his enemies did not pursue him because there were other more threatening targets in the sky. Besides, in Ri's own opinion, the P-51 was seriously damaged and it was impossible to fly back.

Once you can't fly back, parachuting over such an endless tropical jungle is actually not much different from committing suicide.

Under the surprise attack of eight Ki-44s, the P-51 that was originally acting as a hunter suddenly became the prey, and there was chaos. In just a few minutes, 4 of the 18 P-51s were shot down.

Two were damaged.

Now, the situation has completely turned over. Those Ki-44s that dived from high altitude relied on the high speed brought by the dive. After completing the attack, they quickly climbed to a height that the P-51 could not follow at a large angle, and then

A sledgehammer turned back and swooped down again - this was an old trick used by the Americans when they used P-51 to bully Ki-43 several times before. Now the Japanese copied it exactly as it was, and then gave the Americans a "

Repay the other person with his own way."



There was silence in the combat command center of the Tenth Air Force, with only various exclamations constantly coming from the radio equipment.

"Oh my god, he bit me..."

"Someone come to my rescue and help me drive him away!"

"I'm hit, I'm hit!"

"Number 12, he's at your six o'clock! He's at your six o'clock!"

"No. 7, jump quickly!..."

Ron stood here, and he felt an indescribable bitter taste in his mouth. Obviously, he had been fooled and fell into the trap of the Japanese. All along, relying on the foresight of the enemy's and our fighter's capabilities, relying on

With more scientific combat and tactical theories from later generations, and relying on overwhelming national strength, he was almost invincible. However, this time...

Ron reached out for the intercom, preparing to give an order through it, asking the remaining fighters to break out in small groups. The enemy's Ki-44s were not large in number and could not pursue so many targets, and the Ki-43's speed was too high.

Slow enough to chase down P-51s. In this way, most of the P-51s should be able to escape smoothly.

At this moment, a hand picked up the intercom faster and more decisively. Ron turned his head and saw that it was General Bissel.

"I am Bissel, and I order that all fighter jets over Myanmar immediately concentrate on the third area at maximum speed! I order that the flight formations that have entered the battle must persist in fighting, delay the enemy, and destroy the enemy! Never allow one to

Use the enemy plane to escape!"

"General..." Ron looked at Bissel. These days, Ron has been directing the air combat, and General Bissel has been just watching from the side. Occasionally speaking, he was expressing his opinions on Ron's tactics.

decision support.

Bissell glanced at Ron, his eyes full of decisive killing intent. He slowly pressed the output channel button of the intercom in his hand, and then turned to Ron.

"We can't withdraw. There are still 6 transport planes over there. If we withdraw, they will suffer losses in vain. And, Ron, don't you think this is an opportunity? Now, there are 22 Japanese fighter jets in the air -

—After the last failure, this is almost all the strength that the 64th team can put out. We still have 12 fighters there, and in the nearby airspace, we still have 4 formations and 16 aircraft can be put into it.

In addition, according to time, three formations of P-38s from the Fourteenth Air Force are about to arrive over Myanmar. No... don't try to argue with me, I know that our current situation is unfavorable, and before they arrive, we will

Suffered a lot of losses. However, as you said before, we can afford the loss, but ri himself cannot afford such a loss! Therefore, under any circumstances, I will not give up the opportunity to fight with ri himself.

!”

Ron looked at the old man who was always smiling silently, as if he didn't even know him very well. Yes, General Bissel at this time was completely different from the one Ron had remembered before.

"Is this considered an occasional revelation?" Throughout World War II, General Bisser was not particularly sexy among American generals. However, Ron thought about himself again, "If we throw away those things brought from later generations,

Things, compared with the performance of those generals when faced with difficulties, it is really..."

"Ron, you don't have to blame yourself. In a war, everyone will fall into someone else's trap." General Bisser handed the intercom to Ron, "Now, I hand over the command to you.
