Chapter 1384, This is how air combat should be(1/4)
The three Japanese planes dispersed.
This is a common tactic.
Avoid the opponent's pursuit and look for opportunities to counterattack.
Fighters at that time were required to have a high degree of maneuverability. The fundamental purpose was to achieve these two points.
Obviously, one-on-one or two-on-two, the I-15 has no chance at all.
Unless it's two against one, there's no chance of survival.
But it's hard to say.
In an era without automatic missile locking, a fighter jet could still escape even if its tail was bitten.
Both shells and bullets travel in a straight line. They are all aimed mechanically or manually. The hit rate is relatively low.
The Japanese fighter planes were faster and more maneuverable, so they were naturally easier to escape.
Therefore, it must be beaten.
It must be a fatal blow.
But it seems unnecessary for twelve planes to attack at the same time.
Three or four planes attacked at the same time, and the firepower was already saturated.
so……
Attack three targets at the same time?
wipe……
This requires a little mental calculation!
Controlling three teams at the same time and chasing three targets may be the limit of your brain power.
Later generations of early warning aircraft are said to be able to track hundreds of targets at the same time. It is really amazing.
Close your eyes and rest your mind.
Calm down for thirty seconds first.
Three goals…
It should be possible...
Then do it!
"Comrade Yegorov, I am going to divide you into three groups and hunt down three enemy planes respectively."
"Look at the other two team leaders, who is the right one..."
"Palov! Joseph!"
"good!"
Zhang Yong immediately divided into groups.
He had marked all twelve Soviet pilots.
Issue instructions one by one.
"Kutakhov, turn right, course 331, altitude 2800, speed 280! Form with Parov!"
"Alexei, you and Joseph form a group and turn left..."
"Chepov, you..."
Suddenly I had the illusion that I was fighting with the click of a mouse.
Aren't the aircraft on the air command map a combat unit?
Move the mouse around to group and attack different targets.
Soon, the three groups were formed and headed towards different targets.
"Joseph team, your heading is 180, due south, altitude 3900, the target is about 3000 meters in front of you..."
Start by selecting the first target.
This target is the closest and most vulnerable to attack.
No tail biting.
Fire directly from the side.
Four against one, there should be a chance.
Even if you miss, it's okay. Just get used to it.
Air combat is inherently full of uncertainty. No one can guarantee the outcome.
It's more mysterious than ground combat.
"Palov team, your heading is 320, altitude 4500, stand by."
"Egorov team, your heading is 120, altitude 4200, stand by."
Zhang Yong's brain cannot operate at high speed at the same time.
I have to deal with one first.
"Joseph's team, speed up!"
"clear!"
Joseph agreed and immediately accelerated.
Although they couldn't see anything in front, they believed in Zhang Yong's instructions.
There are messy clouds above the battlefield. To a certain extent, they affect the field of vision. At the same time, they also create conditions for enemy aircraft to hide.
"2000 meters..."
"1000 meters..."
"Attention, the enemy plane is about to pass in front of you."
"You decide to open fire yourself."
Zhang Yong terminated the order.
The airborne map showed that the enemy planes arrived on time.
It's right in front of Joseph's group. The height and orientation are good. The distance is about three hundred meters.
It's absolutely fine to fire from the side. However, whether you can hit it depends on skill and luck.
The latter is even more important.
Joseph:……
Sure enough, the enemy plane appeared.
Come out from inside the clouds.
He happened to be passing in front of his group.
"Fire!"
He immediately gave the order.
Four I-15s opened fire immediately.
A dense barrage of bullets was fired at the Japanese aircraft passing in front.
"Baga..."
The Japanese pilots were shocked.
He didn't expect that he would be ambushed.
Damn it!
Cloud avoidance is completely useless?
I had been hiding in the clouds just now, how did the other party catch me?
incredible.
Unbelievable.
Subconsciously pushing the joystick forward, trying to dive quickly to avoid the attack.
However, it was useless.
Four Yi-15 fighter jets opened fire at the same time, and the ballistics were inherently high and low.
As a result, he avoided the high trajectory, but was hit by the low trajectory. The bullet hit the cockpit exactly. The Japanese pilot was killed on the spot.
"Hit!"
"Hit!"
"Zhang, we hit the target! We hit it!"
Joseph shouted excitedly.
