Five hundred and sixty-three ninety-seven torpedo aircraft
Zhou Zhihan led 11 fighter jets to block the air route that the Germans had finally opened. The combat effectiveness of the 11 fire-breathing aircraft was by no means comparable to that of the Soviet rookie pilots, and they immediately blocked the gap in the air.
The German fighter jets were blocked by the spitfire and could not launch an attack on the ground. The artillery on the ground finally recovered and found a good opportunity to quickly arrange anti-aircraft artillery. The artillery commander had just received the news that the military parade had been successful and no longer had any killing of all the fighter jets in the sky.
So when the artillery positions were arranged, the commander contacted the airport tower, so the artillery and the air force agreed that 60 seconds later, their fighter planes suddenly lifted and evacuated, catching the artillery off guard against the Luftwaffe and making them pay back their blood debts.
60 seconds later, 11 Spitfires and 1 MiG that were fighting fiercely suddenly pulled up with all their might. A few seconds later, the ground artillery fire roared, and immediately, four or five German fighter jets were shot down...
The air battle lasted at 10 a.m. The Germans had no choice but to retreat in an orderly manner after the fuel lamp of the fighter plane lit up.
Seeing that their own fighter planes retreated in the air, Guderian's tank troops also began to retreat. The Germans' intention to attack Moscow was thwarted during the Soviet Red Square parade.
The Soviet Red Army began to clean the battlefield. Nearly 100 shot down fighter planes around Moscow were burning in heavy snow and smoking, most of which were German fighter planes. This was another victory for the Soviet Air Force since covering the retreat of the Kiev remnants.
A few days later, Zhou Zhihan received a domestic telegram asking him to return to his country and fulfill his promise during his purchase of fighter jets in the United States.
Zhukov and General Gromakin personally went to the airport to see Zhou Zhihan off, and told him that after returning from the United States, he would come to the Soviet Union to coach the Air Force again.
Before Zhou Zhihan got on the plane, Zhukov told Zhou Zhihan alone that after repelling the German attack, his promise of support to China would be fulfilled.
Zhou Zhihan returned to China, reunited with his family for a few days, and then set off for the United States...
...
The next morning, when the first ray of sunshine in the morning had just emerged from the sea, Mizuno Nakasa Kirida stood on the flight deck, holding a telescope in his hand, watching his team members complete various morning training on the beach.
The average flight time of these carrier-based pilots is above 600 hours, which stands out from 8,000 rookie pilots, and the rigorous training that follows will create the mature mind that pilots need in combat.
In addition to ground courses and flight training, they will participate in a series of extremely heavy physical training subjects, from swimming breathing, head-on handstand, judo fighting, to diving on the high platform, and even acrobatic subjects such as one-handed irons and walking on other people's arms. If someone fails in the subject, they will be dismissed from the training team to show humiliation. The tenacity and skills shown by the pilots trained in this way are naturally very terrifying.
[Akagi] There are only a few Type 97 torpedoes parked on the aircraft carrier, and more torpedoes docked on the roadbed.
The Type 97 torpedo aircraft is the Type 97 ship attack aircraft.
These pilots have excellent ship skills. Now Mizuo Fujita wants them to learn how to fly low and attack low altitude.
Mizuo Shizuda knew that when he asked the pilots to drop torpedoes when flying 20 meters above the water yesterday, and let the torpedo sink and quickly float up to 10 meters below the water surface to hit the target, the vast majority of the pilots at the scene were objecting.
To be more precise, many pilots doubt whether his chief instructor knows how to fly.
During the daily training of the Japanese Air Force, when deploying torpedoes, the minimum height of the torpedo plane must not be less than 50 meters from the water surface. Even so, several torpedo plane deployment accidents have occurred.
For the safety of pilots and torpedo aircraft, many instructors gave a drop height of 100 meters.
After returning to the base after his first lecture after taking office yesterday, Mizuo Fuchida privately heard many pilots’ suspicions about him.
Flying 20 meters away from the water surface and dropping torpedoes, is Chief Mitsuo Fuda a joke?
Doesn’t he understand that the moment when the torpedo is released, the fighter’s nose will recoil. Does the nose point to the water surface? What does it mean when the nose suddenly falls 20 meters away from the water surface?
He didn't know, does the best-performing Type 91 torpedo in the world weigh as much as a ton?
A torpedo aircraft carries a ton of torpedo and flies at an ultra-low altitude 20 meters above the sea surface. No one can do it...
Mizuo Shizuda knew that if he wanted his pilots to obey him, he would have to show his true skills.
Mizuo Shizuda once served as the commander of the aircraft carrier pilot captain of the [Akagi] aircraft carrier. With a flight time of 3,000 hours, it is the best among all Japanese pilots.
The strong man must speak with his strength, not with his mouth!
Under the gaze of all the pilots, Mizuo Furida sat into the cabin of the Type 97 torpedo aircraft. Under the guidance of the commander on the ship, he activated the Type 97 attack aircraft. A huge roar sounded, pushing the throttle valve, loosening the brakes, carrying a fighter with a model torpedo weighing one ton, took off from the aircraft carrier [Akagi].
The takeoff was clean and neat, and all the Japanese carrier-based pilots who watched the observation immediately applauded. They were all experts. Putting aside the torpedo incident, the chief instructor's takeoff had reached its peak.
The high elevation angle of Mizuo Nakasa Kirida quickly climbed into the air. After entering the 2,500-meter air, the fighter changed out and circled around the aircraft carrier, adjusted the attack angle, and began to dive off.
2000 meters,
1500 meters,
1000 meters,
800 meters,
500 meters,
200 meters,
100 meters,
50 meters...
"The chief instructor is still descending from a height, and his attack angle is perfect, which is simply great!"
Yesterday, the captain of the torpedo aircraft captain Murata, who raised questions about Mizunosa Mizunosa, was impressed by the flight technology of the chief instructor. He looked at the Type 97 attack aircraft that was still descending at altitude and shouted loudly.
When Mizuo Furida flew to the beach in a torpedo plane, the fighter almost wiped the pilot's scalp and swept towards the sea.
If this happens in the European and American airlines, the pilot will be confined. The African Eagle has been confined for low-altitude flight maneuvers. The blonde teenager Harderman was also punished for making ultra-low-altitude flights.
But for Japanese pilots who pursue the spirit of Bushido, Mizuo Furida will not be punished for flying at such a low altitude, but will be promoted to encourage morale.
If it were European and American pilots, they were standing on the beach and being flew over their scalp by a fighter plane, and their clothes were blown away, and they would have been lying on the beach, holding their heads and cursing "hell" and "damn it". These Japanese outlaws watched the carrier-based aircraft fly from their heads, not only did no one lie on the sand to avoid them, but they also praised each other and shouted long live!
Flying above everyone's heads, Mizuno Nakasa Kirida stabilized the pole, and the Type 97 torpedo machine drew a white condensation tail on the azure blue sea. He turned on the fish attack button, and pressed the torpedo launch button while pulling the pole in his right hand. The head of the plane that had just raised his head suddenly sank under the reaction of the torpedo sinking.
The torpedo drilled into the blue sea water. The Type 97 torpedo was only 15 meters away from the sea surface and the nose was sinking. In this case, the fighter could drill into the water in the blink of an eye.
All the Japanese ship-borne soldiers standing on the shore were beating in their hearts, and Mizuno Nakasa Kirida might crash.
At the critical moment, Mitsuo Shizuda pulled the rod with all his strength. The fighter got rid of the reaction force, climbed up and made a pull jump, and then pushed the rod slightly. The nose of the machine pointed to the sea again, watching the torpedo thrown into the sea hit the target with a "bang".
Mitsuo Shizuda has achieved the ultimate bomb drop technology, especially the light pull rod that is just right when dropping, which not only prevents the head from sinking, but also allows the torpedo to rise at the moment of shooting, increasing the buoyancy of the water and reducing the shallow depth caused by inertia.
Releasing a torpedo 100 meters away from the water surface. When the torpedo enters the water, the warhead is almost drilled downward, so the depth of the downward piercing is high.
The torpedo is released 20 meters away from the water surface. The torpedo contacts the water surface almost at a horizontal surface, increasing the contact area with the water surface, so the depth of the downward piercing is much shallower.
Fierce applause and howling came from the beach.
Seeing the chief instructor make such a perfect demonstration with his own eyes, the Japanese pilots were shocked and also had great confidence. Their enthusiasm was ignited and their confidence was inspired. They shouted "Long live" in unison, and they would be invincible on the Chinese battlefield.
Chapter completed!
