Chapter Thirty-Four Illegal Modifications and Monster Siege
Just when Ron and the others went to ambush the second wave of attack groups from Japan, the first wave of attack groups from Japan also came to the sky above Guadalcanal. They were not intercepted by fighter jets along the way. This situation was really very serious.
It was rare. Major Ikeda, who was currently leading the team, looked down at the airport from the air and found that there was not a single plane on the airport. Obviously, those timid beauties all ran away as soon as they discovered that the imperial army had a numerical advantage.
Six bombers aimed at the runway and dropped bombs. However, Ikeda knew that it was impossible for these bombs to destroy the airport. As soon as the fleet left, all the craters would be filled in less than an hour, and the airport's operations could be restored. However,
Fortunately, there is a second wave, and there are a full 30 bombers there. Although it is still not enough to destroy the airport, it can at least paralyze it for a few days. With these few days, the Navy can send more troops,
More heavy weapons were shipped to the island.
The altitude when these bombers drop eggs is about 2,000 meters. Any lower, and the small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the ground can easily reach them. Any higher, and the accuracy will be greatly reduced. But anyway, bombing the runway has a big target.
, it is still easy to attack.
Bombs were dropped one after another, and several large black craters immediately appeared on the runway. From the air, they looked like festering wounds, which was very ugly. Several medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns began to fire.
The shell exploded into black roses in the air.
The aircraft fleet will continue to suppress the airport until the second wave of aircraft arrives. Anyway, it is idle. If no enemy aircraft can be found, they will all attack the ground targets. The first is the anti-aircraft guns that fire.
Fighters are actually not too afraid of medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Of course, if such anti-aircraft guns are hit by one shot, it is estimated that all fighter jets will directly return to the state of parts. However, the fire speed of this type of anti-aircraft guns is low and the rotation is slow.
Faced with smaller high-speed, high-agility targets like fighter jets, it always seemed inadequate. So several fighter jets dived towards these medium-caliber anti-aircraft guns. Of course, the 7.7 machine gun bullets could not destroy the anti-aircraft guns, but they were very effective against the gunners.
It is still very lethal. And 20mm shells can also cause considerable damage to anti-aircraft guns. Of course, this type of anti-aircraft guns will definitely be protected by small-caliber anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns. But come here one by one
The frustration of not finding any valuable targets still made Ikeda determined to kill these anti-aircraft guns.
So several fighter jets began to attack the exposed anti-aircraft guns. As expected, these anti-aircraft guns were protected by several .50 machine guns. The first round of attacks did not have a very good effect, but fortunately no aircraft was shot down or
The machine gun protecting the medium-caliber anti-aircraft gun was also exposed. But the biggest gain of this round of low-altitude raids was not this. A Zero Fighter swung its wings crazily after pulling up, reminding everyone that he had made an important discovery.
Ikeda looked towards the Zero aircraft flying next to him, and saw the pilot of the aircraft holding up a contact sign, which read: There is an aircraft in the woods!
Seeing this news, Ikeda thought for a while and then issued the order to attack. Although the bombers could be used to do this kind of work after the second wave of bombers arrived, the bombers belonged to those bumpkin from the Army. Let them perform meritorious service, but
Let the athletes of the navy do it on the side and watch as they get nothing? If the superiors found out about such a thing, wouldn't he be scolded to death? If his colleagues in the navy found out, they would probably be laughed to death too. He even felt a little lucky
Several army bombers that followed him had already dropped bombs.
There are indeed a few aircraft in the woods, but they are all scrapped. Now covered with camouflage nets, it is absolutely impossible to tell that these are scrapped goods until you get close. At first, when the Japanese rushed down, they were still
Be very careful, because the Zero War is too fragile and is actually not suitable for ground attacks.
But this time there were too many low-altitude planes, and trouble arose. Just when the guy who had just discovered the plane on the ground was leading everyone close to the small woods, a spray of water suddenly erupted from the bushes on a small hill next to it.
It spat out a dense rain of bullets. In almost an instant, the leading Zero Fighter was torn into pieces. The other two planes that found themselves trapped in the trap were just about to climb when they saw a string of fiery red bullet rain that had become like a line.
It was whipped like a whip...
In the blink of an eye, three Zero Fighters were lost in this trap.
"Baga!" Ikeda was so angry that he almost kneaded the plane's joystick into a knot.
"Kill him!" An angry Ikeda gave the order, and personally took the plane to rush there. Several planes dived over from different angles, and soon the firepower point went silent. But in such a short period of time
Here, two more planes were shot down by anti-aircraft fire. To achieve such a result at the expense of losing two planes and two pilots was obviously a big loss. What's more, the firepower point was not completely destroyed, at least there was still one
The .50 machine gun can still fire.
Ikeda calmed down now. Using zero combat to resist the ground anti-aircraft firepower was really not worth the gain. It was better to wait for the second wave of bombers.
However, the second wave of bombers did not wait, but they received shocking news: the bomber group was ambushed and suffered heavy losses. There was no point in waiting anymore. So Ikeda ordered: "Everyone returns."
Just as the fleet was about to leave, a group of enemy planes suddenly appeared at an altitude of 6,000 meters. These were the 11 P-39s. Just when the Japanese planes were about to return, they appeared.
These aircraft dived directly from a high altitude at an astonishingly fast speed. (The maximum speed of World War II aircraft mentioned in general information refers to the maximum horizontal speed, but the speed that the aircraft can reach when diving is much higher than this.
.) The needle on the speedometer in front of Su Ke has exceeded 430 miles, which means that its speed has now exceeded 700 kilometers per hour.
The high speed brought an extremely high closing rate. In the blink of an eye, Suk had already rushed in front of the Japanese fighter jets. He took a rough aim at a Japanese fighter jet and opened fire. Unfortunately, he did not hit the opponent.
The other 10 P-39s followed the same method, but not many hit the target. A bomber that was caught off guard took a few rounds. 50. Unfortunately, it didn't hit the key place. It will definitely fly back. There was also a zero.
The aircraft also took a few .50 rounds, but its condition was much worse than that of the bomber. Although the aircraft did not catch fire, the engine was damaged. Whether it can support the flight back is really a big problem. Yu p
-39's most unique 37mm gun failed to hit even a single shot. The firing window was too short, and there was no time to aim accurately.
In the blink of an eye, the P-39 aircraft group had passed through the Japanese aircraft group from top to bottom. After passing through, the P-39 did not pull up immediately, but used the high speed gained from the dive to turn and fly eastward.
Now, there is generally not much fuel in the fuel tanks of Japanese aircraft. This makes it impossible for them to catch up with those American aircraft. Ikeda can only grit his teeth and return with the fleet.
This was not the only attack on the way back. Not too far away, we encountered another group of P-38s and F4Fs (Ron's fleet was also returning and happened to meet them). These guys were also in the same wretched way: diving at high altitudes.
Come down and play for a while, then leave directly after the beating, not forgetting to twist your butt before leaving, as if to say: If you have the guts, come after me.
In this attack, two more Zero Fighters were shot down. The number was not large, but it still made Ikeda feel distressed, because in this battle, although his losses were not much, the results were not at all.
I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain when I go back this time.
Owen's F4F was damaged. If Ron hadn't arrived in time, he might have been shot down. However, the condition of his plane is also very bad now. The landing surface is damaged, and it is shaky when flying.
A drunken stupid duck. What's worse is that there is something wrong with the engine now. When you listen to the sound of the engine now, it's like a consumptive patient wheezing and coughing. It also trembles violently from time to time, which is worrying.
The next moment, he would sometimes be unable to catch his breath... No, just as he was thinking about it, the engine stopped turning. Now, except for parachuting, Owen had no other option.
Fortunately, there was still altitude, and there were some small islands nearby. After sending out a distress message on the radio, Owen parachuted. A gust of wind pushed him towards an unknown island, and he was about to land directly on the island.
Unexpectedly, when he was still 500 meters above the ground, the wind direction suddenly changed. As a result, Owen still fell into the sea. Fortunately, the island was not far away, only a few hundred meters away. Owen sighed and slowly
tour.
When you get to the island, you light a fire. I believe it won't take long for the rescue plane to find you.
Owen thought like this as he swam forward. Somehow he remembered the last time he saw a shark attacking a Japanese skydiving pilot on a plane. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look around, and this sight made his whole body...
His blood almost froze.
Just behind, less than 100 meters away, two huge black dorsal fins appeared. Owen could swear that those two dorsal fins were much bigger than anything he had seen in any magazine before. They were approaching.
!
Irving had never swam so fast in his life. Later he even thought that with his speed at that time, he might be able to win the championship in the Berlin Olympics. However, compared with the guys behind him, his speed was still too slow. It was almost a speed.
In the blink of an eye, the dorsal fin of the car behind him caught up. And he was still at least 300 meters away from the island beach.
Owen even felt the shark touching his feet, first lightly, and then several times in succession. Owen was so frightened that his whole body went limp. He closed his eyes and waited for the shark to bite him.
But the guy behind him didn't bite him. Instead, he just headbutted him gently. Owen pretended to be brave and opened his eyes, only to realize that the guy who was headbutting him was not a shark. It was a guy bigger than a shark. It
They were pushing Owen towards the island with their big black round heads. Then Owen could clearly see their dorsal fin that was slightly bent backwards, and the dazzling white spot under the dorsal fin. He recognized that it was not a shark, but a shark.
The real king of the ocean - the killer whale!
Killer whales are also called killer whales and killer whales. They are the most powerful predators on the sea. In fact, killer whales are not whales, but dolphins. They are the largest species in the Delphinidae family. This is a powerful sea beast.
, his diet even included behemoths like blue whales. Later scientists also observed more than once killer whales attacking another famous predator, the great white shark, and easily killing them
Fortunately, like other dolphins, killer whales never actively attack humans. They are smart and willing to get along with people. They will even take the initiative to rescue humans who fall into the water.
The two killer whales slowly pushed Owen and pushed him to the shallow water area beside the island before turning and leaving. Owen was rescued a few hours later. From then on, he regarded the killer whale as his mascot. After the war,
