A total of 50 P-40 fighter jets were deployed in this attack by the 1st Aviation Division.
These 50 P-40 fighter jets are divided into three formations. The first formation is composed of 10 P-40 fighter jets, which are equipped with 1,000-pound heavyweight aerial bombs and are responsible for blowing up the runway of the airport.
The second combat formation consists of 20 P-40 fighter jets, each carrying a 100-pound aerial bomb on the belly and both wings, responsible for destroying high-value targets such as hangars, airport towers, and fuel depots.
The third combat formation is also 20 P-40 fighter jets.
It¡¯s just that these 20 fighter jets are not equipped with any aerial bombs. Their task is to escort the fighter jets that are equipped with bombs.
Although the confidentiality of this air raid was very good, and the vigilance of the Japanese Yuanqiao Airport was not high, Zhong Yi and Zheng Shaoyu were still very cautious.
¡°You don¡¯t have much capital, so you can only live on a budget.
It is precisely because of this that Zheng Shaoyu would rather reduce the bombing intensity and deliberately set aside 20 fighter jets without aerial bombs, in order to ensure the mobility of these 20 fighter jets and deal with possible emergencies.
However, this time Zhong Yi or Zheng Shaoyu was obviously worried too much, and there was no unexpected situation.
Most of the two Japanese fighter fleets and more than 70 Type 96 fighter jets stationed at Yuqiao Airport were destroyed in the hangar or on the runway.
Only two Type 96 fighter jets took off before the first wave of aerial bombs fell.
The two Type 96 fighter jets were also a fluke, because the pilots of these two fighter jets were two aviation fans. They were obsessed with flying to the core, so they did not want to sleep in dormitories at night and had to sleep in the cockpit of the fighter jets. It was precisely because of this. , before Martins and Zhang Fan dived down, the two Type 96s had already taken off in advance.
It was also because of this that Zhang Fan didn't see these two Nine-Six Types.
Unfortunately, these two Type 96s alone are no longer enough to turn the entire battle around.
The two Type 96s had just climbed into the air, and before they had time to turn around and return to the battlefield, the Eagle 2 piloted by Chennault had already led six P-40 fighter jets to bite them.
The wolf pack tactics finally have a chance to be put into practice.
Chennault's wolf pack tactic is actually very simple to put it bluntly. It is to concentrate three or four aircraft to form a situation of one more than one in the local airspace, and then use the numerical advantage to shoot down the enemy aircraft.
Before the two Type 96s had time to turn around, six P-40s were already attacking.
After approaching, the six P-40 fighter jets quickly divided into two teams, with three in each team, and each pressed against a Type 96 fighter jet.
Chennault piloted the Eagle 2 and continuously adjusted its flight attitude to keep his fighter plane firmly at the tail of the Type 96 fighter in front.
"Go to hell!" Chennault cursed, and just as he was about to fire his machine gun, the Type 96 fighter that was locked by it suddenly made a barrel roll and easily got rid of the lock.
"Oh Zhit!" Chennault cursed and could only get rid of following him.
Because another P-40 fighter has taken over from his Eagle 2 and is following the Type 96.
Chennault immediately turned the engine to maximum, climbed in the air first, and then dived from a high altitude on the Type 96. Almost at the same time, another P-40 fighter also circled over from the flank.
In the blink of an eye, the Japanese Type 96 fighter jet was caught in three-dimensional attacks from three different directions.
For someone with little flying experience, faced with such a three-dimensional attack, they would either lose sight of the other or be completely panicked. However, the Japanese pilot of the Type 96 remained calm and dived toward the ground as soon as he pushed the control stick. At this time, the three-dimensional attacks from three directions failed.
"Zhat! Shit! Shit!" Chennault cursed three times in a row, then piloted the fighter jet and dived down.
The other two P-40 fighter jets also adjusted their flight routes, with one outflanking from the front and the other from the flank.
With their speed advantage, the two P-40 fighter jets quickly flew in front of the Type 96 fighter jet.
The situation formed a situation where Chennault was following behind and the other two P-40s were intercepting in front.
¡°And after two consecutive misses, Chennault and his two teammates not only cooperated more tacitly, but also became more skilled in various tactical movements. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese Type 96 fighter jet will probably be difficult to escape.
However, Chennault still underestimated the Japanese pilot of this Type 96 fighter jet. This little Japanese fighter's flying experience, combat experience and psychological quality were really strong.
As two fighter jets are chasing each other,The nose of the Type 96 aircraft suddenly lifted up, making a broad approach stance. While the fuselage was slightly raised, the flight speed also suddenly dropped.
Chennault's P-40 was caught off guard and had no time to react as it whizzed past the Type 96 fighter.
When Chennault came to his senses and looked back, he saw that the Type 96 had regained its attitude, but the situation had changed to the Type 96 following him, and the other two P-40 fighter jets were also heading towards its Eagle 2. The No. 1 outflanked him at high speed, and the two teammates almost even opened their heavy machine guns!
Fortunately, Chennault is also a veteran, and he quickly made a cross pendulum at the critical moment.
The two dazzling tongues of flames almost passed by his fuselage. Although the fuselage avoided it, one of the tongues of flames still hit the tail wing of the Eagle 2.
Fortunately, the injury was not serious. The bullet penetrated the tail fin directly, so there was basically no impact.
But Chennault also knew that after the tail wing was injured, he could no longer perform various difficult flying maneuvers for a long time, and the battle had to be ended as soon as possible, otherwise his Eagle 2 might crash at any time.
Therefore, Chennault decisively broke away quickly and then took a roundabout way.
The P-40 fighter jet has a crushing speed advantage over the Japanese Type 96 fighter jet.
Ten seconds later, three P-40s once again completed the outflank of the Type 96.
This time, Chennault and the others finally did not miss the opportunity. After a salvo of fire, the cunning and difficult Type 96 land fighter was finally hit, and thick smoke billowed from the oil depot.
Then, before the pilot could parachute, it exploded.
Looking at another airspace, the four P-40 fighter jets that attacked have also completed hunting another Japanese 96-type fighter jet, and no one of them was damaged or injured.
After completing the hunting mission of the two Type 96 fighter jets, Chennault and the others flew back to Yuqiao Airport and conducted several rounds of dive and strafing at the hangar and the Japanese fighter jets that crashed on the runway.
Make sure not a single Japanese fighter jet is intact before leaving.
In this air battle, known as the "11.11" air battle in history, the 1st Aviation Division of the National Revolutionary Army, which had just been formed, destroyed the 16th Fighter Squadron and Fighter Squadron of the Japanese 3rd Flying Regiment stationed at Hangzhou Yuqiao Airport at the cost of zero casualties. 69 Type 96 land fighters of the 59th Squadron.
