() Sasaki Kojiro is the commander of the Ki-43 formation that serves as a decoy. Just now, he received an order from General Kato to retreat.

"Damn it!" Sasaki said in his heart, (he did not dare to shout such words to Kato) "You clearly have the opportunity to beat those American devils, but you shrink back because of fear, this is too..."

Although he was reluctant, Kato's accumulated power still forced him to obey orders honestly.

"Get ready to turn, direction 270, let's go back." Sasaki gave the order weakly.

Twelve Ki-43s turned around and prepared to return. At this moment, a novice pilot named Seibei, who was unwilling to return, glanced into the distance again.

"What is that...it's an American transport plane!"

"At 8 o'clock, an American transport plane was discovered! An American transport plane was discovered! The Emperor is on board!" Kiyohei suddenly shouted excitedly.

"What a headache," Sasaki frowned, "Not sooner or later, but at this time, this is a fallacy!" If the American transport plane had appeared just a moment earlier, the fleet would have been destroyed before receiving Kato's order.

Once you have entered the battle, there is no need to withdraw from the battle. If these transport planes appeared later, then everyone would have gone back, and there would be no need to be so entangled.

But Sasaki no longer had to worry about whether to disobey General Kato's order. Because the rookie named Kiyohei actually shouted "The Emperor is on board!" and then turned around and headed towards the enemy's transport aircraft group regardless of it.

So he rushed over. With one leader in the lead, the rest of the rookies, who were unwilling to retreat and lacked awareness of the dangers of war, followed in droves.

This team of Ki-43s acted as bait in this battle. No one was willing to use a large number of precious top pilots as bait, so among this team of Ki-43s, the newly added ones have never been on the battlefield.

The number of rookies accounts for the majority.

"These idiot rookies!" Sasaki gritted his teeth fiercely, "They have learned the infantry's style of defeating superiors! The entire formation is in chaos. If there is another group of enemy planes coming now, it will be really...

…”

However, complaints are complaints, but in this situation, he can't just leave these rookies here and go back anyway? Besides, even he, well, actually thinks that he should kill these transport planes first and then go back.

, there’s nothing bad about it. As for the enemy fighter jets that will be encountered soon, it’s impossible to fight without taking any risks. Besides, my luck is not that bad. Of course, you must be the one who gives the order!

Of course, after going back, we must deal with these disobedient rookies properly. We must make them...

While Sasaki was thinking, he quietly issued the already redundant order: "Assault all!"

The C-47 transport aircraft has no self-defense firepower, but this does not mean that it is an easy target to shoot down. Like most American aircraft, it is thick and strong, so that many times, even if the enemy runs out of bullets, he may not be able to shoot down the aircraft.

Shoot it down. Once, after a Ki-43 ran out of bullets, it still failed to do anything to the transport plane. Finally, the angry Japanese pilot decided to carry forward the spirit of Bushido and flew the plane.

It hit the C-47. Then, the Japanese pilot went to the Yasukuni Shrine to report. The C-47, well, was seriously damaged, and then flew back crookedly.

If you want to resolve the battle quickly, you must hit the C-47's engines accurately. The C-47 only has two engines. As long as they are damaged, the C-47 will naturally be doomed.

But when Sasaki rushed over, the scene in front of him almost made him faint.

Those rookies had completely forgotten all the skills he taught them in the previous tactics class. They would only stare at the six o'clock of the C-47 and fire hard at its fat fuselage. Especially

The guy named Kiyobei ​​was shouting "Emperor on board" while he was firing wildly at a C-47. Sasaki was sure that if no one stopped him, he would definitely shoot out all the bullets in one go.

"You fools, Red Deer! Shoot the engine! Shoot the engine!" Sasaki couldn't bear it anymore and began to curse on the radio, "When I go back, I will use a belt to remember you well."

After being scolded by Sasaki, a group of rookies began to understand something, so they began to turn their target to the engine of the C-47. However, compared to the fat fuselage, the engine was too small, and the C-47 continued to

They were doing dodge movements, and most of the bullets fired by the rookies flew to nowhere.

"Idiot, look how I attacked!" Sasaki yelled and rushed over. As he passed by the C-47, he opened fire quickly and accurately hit the C-47 with a string of bullets.

On the left engine compartment of the C-47, the engine made a random noise, and then the propeller slowed down and finally stopped there motionless. Sasaki's attack successfully destroyed the left engine of the C-47

.

"Did you see that? This is how it is, approach and attack!" After pulling up the plane, Sasaki proudly taught the rookies a lesson. In fact, after just one entry, he successfully knocked out an engine, which for a veteran

It’s not an easy thing for a bird either.

"Sir Sasaki is so kind!"

"Sir, you are truly a role model for our generation!"

The sound of cheers coming from the radio made Sasaki's mood improve a lot. He even felt a little elated. However, he still restrained his pride and said in the sternest tone possible:

"Stop yelling and resolve the battle quickly!"

…

Tenth Air Force War Room

"Sir, the Gannet is under attack from the Japanese Ki-43 fighter jet!" A staff officer reported to Ron and Bissel, who were standing in front of the large map, "It is at this location."

Ron looked down at the map and asked, "How long will it take for our fighter jets to arrive?"

"It will take about five minutes." A combat staff member replied.

"Command the transport plane to dump the cargo and reduce the speed and altitude." Ron ordered.

The purpose of reducing altitude and speed is not only to increase the difficulty of Japanese fighter attacks, but also to induce Japanese fighters to reduce their speed and altitude. In this way, their situation will be very difficult in future air battles.

…

It is not easy for an unarmed transport plane to survive for five minutes under the siege of a group of fighter jets. Fortunately, this kind of transport plane is quite strong. Fortunately, the majority of the group of fighter jets that besiege them are rookies.

Seibei, who was the first to attack, was almost out of bullets, but the C-47 in front of him was still flying. Considering that the C-47 had no self-defense firepower anyway, in order to ensure that he could shoot down his opponent, Seibei even simply

The speed was reduced to the same speed as the C-47, and then he slowly pushed forward from the six o'clock direction. He planned to get very close and then fire. At this time, the Ki-43 of Kiyobei ​​was simply

It's like flying with a C-47.

It was not until they were less than fifty meters away that Kiyobei ​​started firing. At this distance, Kiyobei's firing was finally reliable. The bullets fired by the two 12.7 mm machine guns all hit accurately.

Entering the engine compartment, the engine compartment spewed out thick black smoke and orange flames, and a large piece of skin was even torn off by bullets.

Kiyobei ​​was feeling proud when he saw the piece of skin crashing towards his plane. In order to avoid the piece of skin, Kiyobei ​​quickly pulled the lever and jumped up. However, he forgot one thing. After being attacked,

The U.S. military's transport planes immediately lowered their speed and height. In order to accurately fire, the height and speed of Ki-43 of Seibei were basically the same as those of these transport planes, that is, the height did not exceed 100 meters and the speed did not exceed 1 hour.

It's like 170 kilometers. In this state, if you pull the lever hard and jump up, there will be only one result, that is, Kiyohei's ki-43 stalls.

Kiyobei's stalled Ki-43 fell headfirst. The altitude was less than a hundred meters, which made it impossible for him to pull up the plane. Likewise, he had no time to complete the parachuting action. When he

When the black smoke curled up after the fighter plane crashed, the C-47 he damaged was still flying.

However, the siege of more than ten fighter jets was not something that six unarmed transport planes could withstand just by relying on their thick skin. In just a few minutes, four C-47s were seriously injured. These four

All engines stopped on one side, and the engines of two of them even caught fire. You know, once an engine fire breaks out and cannot be extinguished, it basically means that the aircraft will inevitably die.

Now, the doors of these planes have been opened, and the people on the planes whose engines have not yet caught fire are busy throwing away anything they can to reduce the load on the planes, but in fact, they have lost one engine.

, there is not much hope of flying back; as for the plane whose engine caught fire, they were busy parachuting. Although they jumped and fell into the vast rain forest, the hope of survival was equally slim, but it is always good to have hope.

If this siege continues, it will not take long before all the C-47s will be shot down. For Ri himself, a victory is already in front of him. But at this time, Sasaki Kojiro suddenly felt a heart palpitation for no reason.

, so he no longer participated in the attack personally, but instead pulled up the plane a little with his wingmen and patrolled the airspace about 400 meters higher than those rookies.

There was nothing in the sky around him. Sasaki even wondered if he was being nervous. Looking down at the clumsy attacks of the rookies below, Sasaki even thought that maybe it would be the best choice to go down and finish it quickly.

But at this moment, his wingman shouted: "At 6 o'clock, enemy attack!"
