Chapter 131 The meat is too small, there is not enough to share
The rest of the J-5 fighters also opened their afterburners and followed the captain's plane in launching an attack.
"Boom boom boom..."
As more than a dozen fighter jets opened their afterburners, the entire sky was filled with the roar of jet engines.
Although the noise of the Japanese aircraft fleet was not small, the sharper sound of the jet engine still attracted the attention of some Japanese crew members.
"what sound?"
The bombardier in the back seat of a Type 97 light attack aircraft heard a sound coming from behind him that was completely different from their engine.
He looked back through the cockpit window with curiosity.
This glance immediately stunned him.
Behind them, they saw a large group of strange planes rushing towards them in the sky.
The reason why he thought these fighter planes were strange was that he did not see any propellers on them.
But it doesn’t really matter anymore.
What’s important is that a mysterious group of aircraft appeared behind them.
And judging from the posture, a dive attack has already been launched.
It's obvious that they are sticking around.
"Enemy attack, enemy planes are attacking us from behind at six o'clock."
The bombardier was instantly terrified and roared at the top of his lungs.
However, the Japanese's radio was not very powerful and unfortunately broke down at this time.
The bombardier found that no matter how he shouted, the pilot and co-pilot in front remained indifferent.
So he started to slap the cockpit in front of him frantically.
His behavior quickly attracted the attention of the two drivers.
They looked at the bombardier with confusion as he was behaving strangely and was still shouting something.
But at this moment they were wearing headsets, and the propellers on both sides of the cockpit were spinning at high speed, so they couldn't hear anything at all.
The bombardier immediately pointed to the rear of the cockpit.
This also made them understand that the bombardier seemed to have discovered something and asked them to go and see.
When they took a look, they felt the same as the bombardier, going from curiosity, confusion, panic to fear.
"Enemy attack, enemy aircraft have been spotted attacking the group from the rear."
The radio in the cockpit was not broken, and his shout immediately caused the entire fleet to explode.
It was also obvious that the experience of this group of Army Aviation pilots might not be sufficient, and the entire flight team began to fall into chaos.
"All fighters turn around to meet the enemy, and the attack planes disperse and leave as quickly as possible."
The captain of the 3th Flying Squadron of the 27rd Flying Division of the Japanese Army was an experienced pilot.
He understood that at this time he must not panic, he must stabilize the formation and then organize them to launch a counterattack.
But he soon discovered something was wrong.
When he looked back again, he could clearly see the incoming aircraft.
These fighter planes are very strange. There are no propellers on the nose and wings. Instead, there is a big hole in the nose. It is not known what it is used for.
And these fighter planes are extremely fast.
Judging from his experience, the other party's speed was definitely over 700 kilometers per hour.
When he came up with this number, his mind was in chaos.
Why did such a group of aircraft suddenly appear on this battlefield, and it can be seen from the speed of the opponent.
These exotic aircraft are no match for the powerful.
But now is not the time to think so much. We need to fight to know our opponent's strengths and weaknesses.
At this moment, the Black Cat Squadron was only a few kilometers away from the Japanese aircraft group.
And their speed has stabilized at around 900 kilometers per hour.
"The Japs' reaction speed is quite fast. Each group will launch an attack according to the set target. First, knock down those flying faster, and then slowly deal with those slow ones."
Yu Xin's words rang in their ears, and the Black Cat Squadron, like a whole, immediately dispersed like a roc spreading its wings.
The J-5 fighters on the left and right wings rolled flexibly, broke away from the formation, and launched a surprise attack on the Japanese Type 1 fighters scattered on both wings.
A distance of several kilometers only takes less than ten seconds for a fighter jet flying at a speed of up to 900 kilometers per hour.
Although the Japanese Type 1 fighter planes were more flexible, ten seconds were not enough for them to complete a U-turn.
At this time they also understood, but it was too late.
Yu Xin took the lead and launched an attack on the Japanese aircraft group.
When the crosshairs were firmly locked on a Type 1 fighter plane that was still making a radius turn.
Japanese pilots also discovered this uninvited guest.
When he saw the silver killer approaching at an extremely fast speed, he immediately reacted and began to prepare to make irregular maneuvers to avoid the opponent's lock.
However, how could Yu Xin, who has superb skills, give him this opportunity?
When this Type 1 fighter has entered the effective firing range of the machine gun.
He decisively pressed the shooting button.
The two 23mm cannons inside the plane began to spew flames.
A series of Type 23-1 incendiary armor-piercing shells turned into a chain of fire and whipped towards the Type fighter.
Faced with such a rapid attack, the Type 1 fighter plane was unable to react at all.
The agile Type 1 fighter looks like a bloated fat man in front of the jet fighter.
In the desperate eyes of the Japanese pilots.
A total of five 5mm incendiary armor-piercing shells hit the middle and tail of the Type 23 fighter.
"boom......"
A ball of fire exploded in the air, and the thin Type 1 fighter was hit by a large-caliber machine gun and directly broke into two pieces in the air.
The Japanese pilots didn't even have a chance to parachute.
And this kind of scene was played out one after another in this airspace.
More than a dozen J-5 jet fighters were like birds of prey leaping into a flock of birds, and could only be slaughtered by the raptors.
One Japanese fighter plane after another was either disintegrated in mid-air or fell down with thick smoke.
The Black Cat Squadron easily achieved the record of shooting down more than ten enemy planes.
At this moment, the Japanese aircraft group had been completely dispersed, with no formation at all, and they were fighting each other.
Or we can describe it as everyone fleeing on their own.
Because they were horrified to find that these silver death gods were extremely fast.
Before their sights were even aimed at them, the fighter planes disappeared from their sight.
They had never seen or heard of such fast fighter planes in the world today.
But they also understood that it was impossible to escape from these extremely fast fighter planes at this moment. They had no choice but to fight to the death and take someone with them.
So they didn't plan to run away, but instead looked for targets everywhere.
The Black Cat Squadron, having completed a wave of harvest, did not stop there.
"That's great, turn around and go back to fucking him."
When fighting, Yu Xin was not as serious and steady as before.
As far as he could remember, he had been training for five years, but had never participated in an actual combat.
Only when you are on the battlefield and draw your sword against enemy planes, the blood hidden in your heart surges up.
“Boom boom boom…”
One after another, the J-5 fighter jets flexibly completed a small radius turn in the air and continued to raise their butcher knives towards the remaining Japanese aircraft groups.
Now there are only less than ten Japanese fighter planes left, and eight of them are bombers that are still fleeing everywhere.
"Boom boom boom..."
Machine gun shells continued to spew out.
Even the larger Type 37 light bomber could not withstand the devastation of 23mm and mm caliber machine gun shells.
Not to mention the Type 97 light bomber which weighs only a few tons.
Even the huge B29 could not withstand a few hits from these machine guns.
Because these machine guns are specifically designed to deal with large or solid aerial targets.
The B-29 bomber is a huge aircraft with a maximum take-off weight of 61 tons.
When the last Type 97 light bomber was shot down, Yu Xin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Despite the huge gap in equipment strength between the two sides.
But as this is the Black Cat Squadron's first actual combat, it is impossible to say that he is not nervous.
So far, they are performing very well.
He carried out the interception mission perfectly according to his predetermined plan.
The only pity is that this time their squadron did not produce an ace pilot who shot down more than five fighter planes.
The main problem is that the meat is too small and there is not enough to share.
"We're done, call it a day. Each aircraft will check their condition and begin returning."
Then Yuxin opened the radio communication channel with the airport.
"Reporting to the tower boss, this is the Black Cat Squadron, I am the squadron leader Yu Xin."
After hearing Yuxin's voice coming from the radio, the boss was no longer as calm as before.
He leaped over to the radio, grabbed it, and asked, "Are there any casualties? What's the battle situation?"
After hearing this urgent and caring question, Yu Xin felt touched.
He said happily: "Report, we have no casualties. The Japanese fighter planes didn't even hit us with a single bullet."
"We have successfully completed this interception mission, shooting down a total of 26 Japanese fighter planes."
After hearing Yu Xin's reply, the boss's expression relaxed and he showed a slightly excited smile.
His lips moved slightly, and he said excitedly, "Very good. I am very satisfied with the results you have delivered. When you come back, I will personally celebrate for you."
"And I will tell your deeds to Yan'an, I believe they will be happy for you too."
From the moment they took off, the Black Cat Squadron had already belonged to the Eighth Route Army.
As the first air force they had, it achieved such brilliant results in the first battle.
In a single air battle, 26 Japanese fighter planes of various sizes were shot down at the cost of zero casualties, which was unprecedented in the entire War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
Faced with such impressive results, it’s no wonder that even the boss is so excited.
This air battle also confirmed Li Jingrong's words.
These aircraft are truly epoch-making.
The Japanese fighter planes had no power to resist these silver killers.
As long as this batch of fighter planes are in service, it can at least ensure that the entire northwest Shanxi sky will no longer be wreaked havoc by Japanese army aircraft.
This is very important for the Eighth Route Army's subsequent combat plan.
