Chapter 669: Type 0 was tricked by Gannan Air Force tactics
The Japanese air force was very excited; they had achieved brilliant results today.
Not only did they sink many ships of the American Navy, but even American aircraft were blown into pieces.
Soichiro Kojima, a Zero fighter pilot.
He was leading his own wingman, along with four other Zeros, to protect a squadron of bombers.
Heading deeper into the interior of Hawaii Island, looking for a valuable target.
When the attack is over, they will return to their aircraft carrier.
This air raid made Kojima Soichiro's self-confidence reach an unprecedented level.
These beautiful and tough fighter jets are simply weak in performance.
Under the attack of his Zero fighters, no plane could escape alive.
At this time they arrived above the army base, and the military camp below was very easy to recognize.
Captain Murakami of the Japanese bomber squadron waved the wing towards the island, indicating that he was going to attack.
Kojima also shook his wings to indicate that he would cover them.
The Zero fighter was then raised to prepare for high-altitude alert.
As soon as their Zero gained altitude and leveled off, they heard his wingman shouting on the radio.
"What is this thing, and why is it so fast?"
After hearing this, Xiaodao hurriedly looked around.
Xiaodao finally discovered three American fighter planes that he had never seen before.
The three fighters had already started to dive, and the direction they were attacking was the two Zeros below.
"Bakayaro, they are going to attack Tanaka's plane. Follow me, wingman, and drive their fighters away."
Their two Zeros immediately lowered their noses and prepared for a dive attack.
Tanaka below also sensed something was wrong and was preparing to turn quickly to avoid the attack of the enemy plane.
Unfortunately, their actions were too late. The airmen of the three fighter jets seemed to know Tanaka's reaction.
Arriving above Tanaka's plane ahead of time, the three planes fired two chains of fire.
Immediately, two Japanese Zero fighters were shot down and exploded in mid-air.
"Baga, I want to avenge Tanaka-kun."
They had just been attacking for an hour and a half without losing a single Zero fighter.
But in this place, two planes were shot down at once.
How could he explain this to the captain when he returned, let alone receive any awards for his meritorious service?
If he is not allowed to commit suicide immediately to thank the Emperor, his ancestral graves will be filled with smoke.
Kojima Soichiro and his wingman immediately increased their speed and dived quickly.
He and his wingman wanted to avenge Tanaka and atone for their own sins.
Three thousand meters, two thousand meters, "da da da", Kojima Soichiro was already furious.
The American plane in front that was diving and fleeing continuously was actually escaping.
They also did not forget to open fire and attack the Japanese bombers below.
The 2mm large-caliber M heavy machine gun on an American plane.
Immediately, the Japanese bomber below them was shot down and exploded in mid-air.
Of the twelve bombers flying from Japan, three were shot down in an instant.
Kojima: Otherwise I'd better commit suicide by seppuku!
"Sir, help me, my plane is stalled."
Kojima was also surprised when he heard this. This was the voice of his wingman pilot, so he quickly turned around to look over.
I saw his wingman making a spiral and smashing towards the stone wall of the canyon below.
With a loud "boom", Xiaodao's wingman also crashed to the ground.
At this moment, Captain Soichiro Kojima no longer cared about anyone else.
The generator of his Zero fighter suddenly stopped in the air after two "clicks".
Fortunately, his driving skills were pretty good and he managed to light the plane in the air.
Finally, at an altitude of about 500 meters, it broke out of the spin and began to fly levelly.
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. He had heard about the tactics of the American Air Force from his superiors by chance.
This tactic is a special tactic of the Gansu Air Force of China.
This tactic has an obvious feature, that is, three planes called Mustangs form an attack wave.
First use surprise attack, then trick the Zero fighter into diving.
Taking advantage of the Zero fighter's weaknesses, the Zero was forced to stall and crash in the air.
Moreover, this P51 Mustang fighter launched continuous attacks, giving people a sense of endlessness.
They all say that unless the generator is zero, the performance can be improved.
Otherwise, relying on the Mustang's flying speed, the Kuomintang Air Force's tactics would be basically unstoppable.
He later asked about it privately, but his superior was very angry.
Apart from giving him a big slap in the face, the incident was never mentioned again.
(The Japanese Navy Department, in order not to undermine the morale of the naval aviation force.
It was decided to keep this information secret until the engine was improved.
Because the Gannan Air Force only used the Mustang fighter once.
So the Navy Department didn’t mention it, and the Army Department didn’t suffer any loss, so they didn’t report it to the headquarters.)
Thinking of this, Kojima Soichiro suddenly felt uneasy.
The feeling of continuity means that the American Air Force here definitely has more than just three new fighter jets.
Sure enough, as soon as this thought came to his mind, he saw two burning firebirds falling from the side of his Zero.
Looking at the three Mustang fighters still diving, he knew that his idea was correct.
Their losses are now quite heavy. When they arrived, they only had six Zero planes and twelve bombers.
There was only one Zero left, and only nine bombers.
Moreover, the airmen of those bombers were too unkind and were almost out of their sight.
It would be better to just run away while the new American planes don't catch up with us in time!
Unfortunately, he was in such a panic that he didn't know which way to go. Just as the plane stabilized, he realized that there was a problem with his flying direction.
He actually had to fly over the army base before he could return to Pearl Harbor and then fly back to his aircraft carrier.
Now his Zero fighter is only 500 meters from the ground.
If we collide with the anti-aircraft machine guns of the American base, we can only be considered to have run into the muzzle of the US military's guns.
Whether he can escape or not depends on whether his emperor will bless him.
It is obvious that you, a despicable invader, have come to other people's doorsteps to fight and kill.
Can your emperor still protect you? You are dreaming!
At the U.S. Army base below, Williams didn't want to sit there and wait for death.
When Williams was in the temporary capital, he was bombed by Japanese bombers.
He understood that as long as he didn't hide in the air-raid shelter, he would be bombed by the Japanese bombers.
Just like the houses built on this island, if they are hit by an aerial bomb, they will basically be blown up into the sky.
So he did not hide in the base's headquarters to make plans.
He ignored the dissuasion of others and went straight to find an unmanned, large-caliber anti-aircraft machine gun.
The base commander had just loaded the 12.7mm large-caliber bullets for him.
The Zero fighter piloted by Kojima flew straight towards his gun.
"Da da da da..."
Williams shouted "For freedom" and fired a string of large-caliber bullets from the anti-aircraft machine gun in his hand.
The bullet hit Kojima's fighter head-on, causing the Zero to explode in mid-air.
The wreckage of the plane fell outside the army base.
It is less than thirty meters away from the entrance of the base.
