Act 40 Saatchi Scissors and the Second Style of Zhong Kui

Wu Lai didn't know what the current situation was. According to the mission instructions he just obtained, the reason why they were asked to dispatch urgently seemed to be that the naval aviation troops who had just arrived were in trouble when they were launching air strikes on the Japanese joint fleet.

However, Wu Lai was very strange. He would not be surprised if he had encountered trouble elsewhere, but the sky above the Japanese Joint Fleet had been cleared by them. The Japanese Navy's "Zero" fighter fleet had been completely destroyed because of their own crazy actions. He really couldn't imagine anything else that could make the naval aviation soldiers feel troubled.

The anti-aircraft artillery on Japanese warships is indeed quite troublesome, but it seems that it is not as serious as it needs to ask for help from them. In addition, what are Wulai and the others flying? It is the fw-190 fighter jet. The problem of anti-aircraft artillery artillery in Japanese warships is obviously not something they can solve, unless the navy people want them to act as cannon fodder to attract the attention of the artillery. If that happens, Wulai can guarantee that when he sees the navy bastard in the future, he will definitely kick those people's ass!

In Wulai, the Navy Aviation must have encountered Japanese aircraft coming to reinforce, and this situation is the most likely situation. But he also did not understand that the Navy Aviation bomber formation escort force would definitely not be too weak. Even if it encountered Japanese aircraft reinforced by the Japanese, it would not be unable to fight back. Now he actually asked for support from his air force.

"Did you meet the Japanese army?" Wu Lai couldn't help but think of it strangely.

The more detailed task description that followed confirmed some of Wulai's judgments. The naval aviation troops did encounter threats from the sky. The Japanese did have reinforcements arrived, and this part of the reinforcements caused trouble for the naval aviation. But what surprised Wulai was that the number of Japanese fighter jets faced by the naval aviation troops who were seeking help was exactly the opposite of what he thought, not many, but quite a few.

This situation made Wu Lai very confused, but the task description ended here without more things, and there was no way. In the end, he was too lazy to think about it, so he would wait for everything to take a look at it above the battlefield.

Because the distance between the two is very close, it takes less than a long time to take off from Okayama Airport to reach the vicinity of the Japanese Combined Fleet. Wulai's FW-190 fighter fleet soon saw the enemies they had to deal with - their number was indeed not as large as expected, but Wulai and the others had just arrived, so they gave them a warning for convenience.

Wu Lai saw with his own eyes that one of the Japanese fighters with an extremely thick head, like a big-headed fish, dodged left and right like a butterfly under the siege of the two FW-190 fighters behind its butt, and then flew to the side of a Qiongya torpedo bomber that was about to drop bombs. Just a moment of wiping the side, the dense strafing shot made the torpedo bomber fall into the sea with black smoke.

"Am I dazzled?" Wu Lai couldn't believe his eyes. The skills of the pilot on the Japanese fighter plane made him unbelievable, but he couldn't guarantee that he could fly that kind of action.

Quickly adjust the radio frequency to the Navy Aviation Channel, Wu Lai shouted: "This is the Air Force 301 Fighter Battalion, this is the Air Force 301 Fighter Battalion. Please answer when you receive it. It's over."

Soon there was a response on the opposite side: "This is the Naval Air Force 603 Fighter Squadron. Thank goodness, you finally came here. Let's help us deal with these damn new Japanese fighters first. We don't have enough staff."

"There is not enough manpower? What's going on?" Wu Lai said strangely. He did not see many Naval Air FW-190 fighters. In theory, such a fighter is not enough to meet the needs of escort missions. Usually, the number of escort fighters sent should be at least more than twice as many as before.

"When we arrived just now, there were no Japanese planes in the sky, and the Japanese fighters you see now are still far away from us and not many, so the early warning aircraft "Hawkeye" has transferred some of our escort fighters to support the Qiongya, and they are also being subjected to Japanese air strikes and continued to cover the air."

"So why did it become like this now?" Wu Lai asked again. The bombing operations of the Qiongya Navy Air Force are still continuing, but the entire formation has become messy because of the interweaving of the Japanese fighter jets. If this continues, the attack effect will definitely be greatly reduced.

"At first we thought that those Japanese fighters were either the Navy's 'zero' or the Army's 'one'. According to the information provided by Hawkeye, their flight altitude was very high. We didn't know why they flew so high. We just thought that the two Japanese fighters had bad performance at high altitudes. If they could fight at high altitudes, they would definitely be very easy, so we took the initiative to attack to intercept them. But when we arrived, we found that we made a mistake. Those fighters were not the 'zero' or 'one' that we had seen before! It was a new type of fighter!"

Wu Lai can understand the naval aviation soldiers' thoughts, because he had beaten a "zero" fighter flying at high altitudes before. It was indeed understandable that the other party made such a judgment, but his later words surprised Wu Lai.

"New fighter!? You mean that the Japanese have developed a new fighter!? That's what they are now!?" Wu Lai said in surprise. In his opinion, the Japanese "zero" or "one" fighter jets are already one of the top fighters of this era. He never expected that the Japanese had developed a new fighter jet. And obviously, from the perspective of time, this fighter jet was definitely not developed to deal with their fw-190 fighter jets. No one can develop a brand new fighter jet model and create so many prototypes or early production models in just over a month. It can only be a fighter jet that has existed for a long time.

"Yes, it's a new type of fighter! We thought it was an old-fashioned 'zero' or 'one' type. But in fact, the high-altitude performance of that type of fighter is much better than that of the 'zero' or 'one' type! We underestimated the enemy, and lost many brothers when the Japanese suddenly attacked! Moreover, the Japanese's flight skills are very powerful, and I'm afraid all of them are at the level of ace! After the raid, the number of remaining fighters we had was too small. We couldn't effectively intercept those Japanese. The brothers who had sent out to support were also dragged by the Japanese on the Qiongya side and could not come back. So we can only ask for help from you."

After listening to the other party’s explanation, Wu Lai couldn’t help but frown and asked again: “Tell me what are the characteristics of this type of aircraft?”

For a new fighter that you have never seen before, before starting the war, you should first ask the other party’s characteristics. Otherwise, blind attacks will lead to a loss, just like these naval aviation brothers in front of you, because they regard the new Japanese aircraft as a "zero" or "one" fighter flying at high altitudes, they will not lose their rice if they want to take advantage of them.

"Their high-altitude performance is good and their speed is very fast. Although there is still a big gap compared to our fw-190, it is much better than the previous Japanese fighters! The maneuverability is worse than that of the 'zero' type and so on. You can treat them as shrinking fw-190."

"The shrinking fw-190?" Wu Lai said in surprise, "But I just saw that guy wandering around in a low altitude!? That's called poor mobility!?"

"In fact...that's what I just told you, I'm afraid they are all aces."

"Okay, new fighters are all aces. I like this! It's much more interesting than bullying those old biplanes and the "zero" styles that look like stones at high altitudes! It's time for them to see whose team is the real ace!" Wu Lai's lips curled slightly, revealing an excited expression.

In fact, the team that Wu Lai and the others faced was indeed an ace force in the Japanese Army Aviation Force. In history, the 47th Flight Squadron, which won the title of "Kanto Air Defense Twins" with a fierce fighting style, was not a unit of the Army Aviation Force. It was a temporary unit established purely to test the actual combat capabilities of the Army's new single-engine air combat aircraft Ki-44, which was later the second-type "Zhong Kui" fighter. Historically, due to its outstanding performance, it was finally upgraded to a team and fixed the organization.

**The "47" of the 47th Flight Squadron's name number comes from the saying "47 Akaho Sages" who had 47 retainers in the Akaho period in the mid-Edo period of Japan and had avenged the Lord's revenge and seduced the belly of the main king. At the same time, since the feather ornaments on the banner of the famous Shin-command group in Japan were similar to Akaho, the nickname of the "Shin-command group". All the squadrons were equipped with the latest Ki-44 fighter jets, totaling 9.

This combat operation was mainly composed of the 47th Flight Squadron, and two other squadrons of type 1 fighters cooperated with them. The reason why the Japanese Army sent the 47th Flight Squadron to escort Toyota's joint fleet was also unscrupulous. First, they did not want to use their limited troops to protect the navy's mortal enemy, so there were not many fighters deployed. Second, they still had the intention of showing off their new fighter under the navy's nose. So, the 47th Flight Squadron came over the joint fleet and began to perform the task of intercepting the Qiongya Navy's aviation bombing formation.

"Did you hear that, brothers, have you heard that the guys on the other side are all aces! They are still new fighters, and they are much more powerful than the "zero" style that attacks those moving targets!"

Wu Lai yelled excitedly in the communication channel of his brigade, which immediately aroused a resonance. Then, he drove his fw-190 fighter jet straight into the battle group.

Wu Lai tried to take advantage of the high-speed performance of the fw-190 fighter, but the Japanese pilot who was flying the second-type "Zhong Kui" fighter was indeed the ace. He did not leave any loopholes for Wu Lai. Instead, Wu Lai was too persistent in chasing the target in front of him, but he was bitten by another second-type "Zhong Kui" fighter without knowing it.

"'Storm' calls 'Tornado', 'Storm' calls 'Tornado', and a new Japanese fighter jet bites behind you, I'll drive him away for you!"

When Wu Lai finally felt relieved when he heard the voice of the wingman driver from the headphones. Having teammates taking care of your back is always much safer than fighting alone.

The wingman "Storm" roared past the second-type "Zhong Kui" fighter behind Wu Lai. The spitting flames forced the Japanese fighter to change their course and took advantage of this opportunity. Wu Lai decisively maneuvered and got rid of the Japanese's pursuit.

"Thank you, boy, I'll go back and invite you to drink..." Wu Lai laughed and said. But before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt like he was stuck in his throat, and his voice became like a chicken or duck.

"The guy in front of me disappeared! 'Storm', 'Storm'! Damn it! He's behind you! He bites behind you!"

It turned out that just when Wu Lai was busy avoiding the second-type "Zhong Kui" fighter jet behind, the Japanese in front took advantage of this opportunity to come and take a look at the side of the wingman "Storm". Although the strafing shot that passed by could not shoot down the wingman, the second-type "Zhong Kui" fighter jet took advantage of the situation and walked around Wu Lai and bit his tail tightly. The prey that was just hunted by Wu Lai became a hunter hunting Wu Lai in a blink of an eye.

At the same time, just when Wu Lai had no idea that the second-type "Zhong Kui" fighter was bitten by an Yin Maiman, the Japanese fighter that had just been driven away by the wingman "Storm" bit it again and changed its target and kept chasing the butt of the wingman "Storm".

"Haha... we were both bitten now..." Wu Lai said with amusement and silence. How long has it been since he became the ace of the Air Force? The Japanese on the opposite side should not be underestimated.

"But... it's a little earlier to admit defeat now!" Wu Lai shouted, "'Tornado' called 'Storm'.'Tornado' called 'Storm'. Now this situation requires us to use our special skills! Prepare for scissor maneuvers!"

The so-called scissor maneuver is actually the "Sachie Scissor" maneuver developed by the Americans in World War II to deal with the Japanese "zero" fighter jets. This is a well-known tactical action in the multi-plane tactics during World War II. It was first invented by John Smith Thach, a major of the US Navy Air Force, to deal with the Japanese Zero fighter jets during the Battle of Midway.

The tactical actions of Sachshes are generally based on two-machines. At the beginning of the action, the two-machines fly in parallel in the same direction, and the spacing is wide. At this time, if one of the aircraft is attacked by the enemy from the rear half of the field, the two-machine will immediately perform a sharp turn towards each other. If the enemy plane continues to follow closely, the other friend plane will get a high-decline shooting opportunity; if its attack fails to work, the two-machine can immediately perform the next reverse rotation, and get a high-decline shooting opportunity again, and can be repeated multiple times until the rear is safe.

But this time, Wu Lai and the others were in a bad situation, because it was not one enemy plane that was biting them, but two, but this could not stop Wu Lai and the others.

The two FW-190 fighters began to fly backwards to distance. When they thought the time was ripe, Wu Lai shouted decisively and the two planes flew at different altitudes. Just as the two FW-190 fighters passed by, Wu Lai and his wingman both got a chance to attack the Japanese fighter behind the other party's butt. Although the high-speed flight in the air was so fast that the attack of flying head-on was very short, both of them were elite pilots who had been through many battles, and they both pulled the trigger to the bottom at the most appropriate time. The flames of the 20mm cannon instantly hit various targets.

The Japanese fighter armor was not very good in World War II. Although the Type 2 "Zhong Kui" fighter was equipped with certain armor, this armor could not even defend against the 12.7mm machine gun bullets, and it was even more powerless to do anything about the ammunition of the 20mm aerial cannon. One of the two Type 2 "Zhong Kui" fighters was broken on the spot and fell into a spiral and fell into the sea. The other was also injured. The engine began to emit black smoke. It was not surprising that it would stop in the air at any time.

At this moment, a familiar scene appeared in front of Wu Lai again. The Japanese, who knew that their plane could not support them for too long, quickly drove the smoked second-type "Zhong Kui" fighter jet, quickly leaving the battle, but he did not return, but found the bomber closest to him and started a kamikaze-style suicide attack!

The pilot of the Type 2 "Zhong Kui" fighter was very clear that even if his plane flew to the extreme speed, it would be impossible to catch up with Wu Lai's FW-190 fighter jets. Only those bombers with slow flight speed and bombs with bombs that seriously affect maneuverability under the belly of the aircraft were the targets that could successfully hit him.

"Are these Japanese crazy?? Fight him down! Fight down!"

Crazy shouting, Wu Lai naturally would not let the Japanese complete the impact in front of his eyes. Two fw-190 fighters chased behind the butt of the second type "Zhong Kui" fighter and fired wildly. In the end, they successfully shot it into the sea before the Japanese hit the bomber.
