Chapter 198 Type Zero
"Hey, Taylor, that guy climbed so fast!" Welch shouted on the communication channel.
"Man, I kind of regret it. I'll go back and tell the ground crew that I want his plane." Taylor on the side also replied in the channel.
"If you two don't want to take bullets later, you'd better keep your mouth shut." He Chi's voice came from the communicator.
"Damn! I forgot he could hear."
In the gag, the three planes completed their climb, and soon a group of small black dots were spotted in the distance.
About 12 D3A1 Type 99 carrier-based dive bombers are hovering in the sky preparing to attack an oil depot.
"I saw it, 7 o'clock direction! The Japanese's Nine-Nine Style is starting to work!" Welch pushed the joystick and rushed forward.
Three against twelve, it seems to be a battle with huge disparity in numbers, but the flexibility of Type 99 cannot be compared with the flexibility of P40. In addition, the Japanese did not expect that there would be a US military fighter upgraded at this time. Empty, Welch and Taylor easily moved around to the back.
Thud, tug, tug, tug! ! ! ! ! !
Two P40s flying side by side opened fire from behind. Immediately, the tail of a Type 99 was hit, and it plunged down trailing thick smoke.
However, the counterattack soon came. The other Type 99s adjusted their flight postures, and their 7.7mm self-defense machine guns began to fight back.
The design of Type 99 is very strange. One of its three machine guns is designed on the tail, and the angle can be adjusted freely. This firepower is negligible when there is only one aircraft, but when a group of The collective flight of Type 99 can form an all-round firepower network.
Dang!
Tyler's plane shook, and he felt that his wing should have been hit by a bullet.
"Hey, man, I feel like I've been shot, but it's okay, it's not a big problem."
"It's not easy to handle them hugging each other, we have to find a way to disperse them!" Welch said just now Falling, the red figure in front of him flashed by.
The F4u quickly overtook the two aircraft in a large arc and cut to the side of the Japanese fighter group.
So fast! !
Thanks to the most advanced engine technology, the maximum speed of the Corsair fighter can reach 747 kilometers per hour, which is almost 1.5 times that of the P40 and is almost the fastest fighter of the same period.
The red pirates rushed directly into the Japanese Type 99 aircraft fleet, like a red-hot knife cutting into cheese.
Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Six 0.50-inch Browning M2 machine guns spit out tongues of flame. Welch saw at least two Type 99 bombers shot down. One of them must have had its fuel tank blown out and fireworks were set off directly in the air. .
Like a flock of sheep being driven by a shepherd dog, the Japanese fighter plane formation was instantly disrupted and divided into two parts, one large and one small.
God-given opportunity!
Welch and Taylor drove the P40 fighters towards their respective targets.
Thud, tug, tug, tug! ! ! ! !
The bomber groups fighting each other became the best attack targets, and the two P40s each made gains.
"Guys, I feel like I can kill at least five more today." Welch shouted excitedly in the communication channel.
"Idiot! Don't get carried away! Watch your back! 8 o'clock direction!" He Chi scolded on the radio.
Sure enough, a formation of six Zero fighters appeared behind them. The mobility of the Zero completely exceeded that of the P40. Welch and Taylor were at a disadvantage the first time the two sides encountered each other.
"I bit him! I bit him!" Taylor yelled on the communication channel. He had even seen the enemy plane's tail, but it suddenly somersaulted Turning over, he bit Taylor's plane from behind.
"Damn it! What the hell is this! It's so flexible!" Taylor hurriedly maneuvered the plane to avoid it, but couldn't get rid of him.
Bang bang bang bang! ! ! ! !
The Zero opened fire. Unlike the P40's .30-caliber small water pipe, the Zero had two 7.7mm machine guns and two 20mm aerial cannons. Taylor felt that the plane he was sitting on was stunned and something was flying around. in the air.
That's part of the tail of his fighter jet.
"I've been hit! I've been hit!" Taylor yelled over the radio, struggling to keep the balance of the fighter.
"Man, hold on! I'm coming!" Welch wanted to come over to help, but he was also chased by two other Zeros.
At the critical moment, the red figure appeared again. The pirate fighter piloted by He Chi appeared in the gap between the two sides chasing. A set of ferocious firepower forced the two Zeros to temporarily give up the pursuit of the P40.
"You cover him and find the airport to land, and I'll hold the Japanese back!" He Chi shouted on the communication channel.
"Do it! Let's go to the airport, change planes, and we'll be back soon!" Welch flew the plane to cover Taylor and flew to a low altitude.
The P40 began to turn and fly to the airport on the other side, while the red pirate bravely faced the Japanese fleet alone.
Taylor looked back from the smoking fighter. The Zero fighter began to chase the red pirate, and the two sides kept chasing each other in the air.
"Don't die, man, I'll pay for the next drink." Welch murmured.
At this time, the Zero, which had previously had the advantage, discovered that the situation in front suddenly became different. The maneuverability of the strange-looking red fighter jet was no worse than theirs, and it was even better in speed.
The red pirate fighter plane deliberately lured the Japanese aircraft in front to bite its tail, then suddenly performed a power dive in the vertical direction and turned on afterburner to suddenly increase the speed. At the same time, it performed difficult maneuvers such as rolling at high speed. And intentionally or unintentionally, he is tempting the opponent to roll to the right.
The Zero fighter pilot didn't take it seriously. He thought that the pilot of the strange fighter in front had panicked and would soon be shot down by him.
Therefore, the Type Zero behind also maneuvered at a higher speed.
Ka~Ka~Ka~~~
After two chases, abnormal sounds suddenly appeared in the cabin. The Zero pilot had not figured out what was going on, and then he was horrified to find that his fighter had stopped in the air.
The fatal shortcoming of the Zero fighter is that it uses a floating carburetor, which only has excellent operating performance and a very small turning radius at lower speeds. Once it exceeds 371 kilometers/ It will be very clumsy when it is more than 1 hour, and its engine will easily stop and stall under negative acceleration conditions.
Two of the six Zero planes actually stopped in the air at the same time and fell straight down. The other pilots didn't understand what happened. They almost thought that the other plane had used magic tricks, and they were panicked for a moment.
The red pirate took advantage of this opportunity and plunged into the thick clouds.
The four Zeros looked up and down for traces of the enemy aircraft but found nothing. The opponent's superb technology and elusive tactics made them feel as if they were surrounded by an aircraft.
Chug tug tug tug! ! ! ! ! !
Deadly bullets shot out of the clouds!
