    For the Japanese army, it was obvious that they were being closely guarded by the two Type 97 fighter jets. The planes that turned around and returned to Wangye Temple Airport were probably not transporting ordinary people or cargo.  After receiving the telegram asking for help, not only the Japanese aircraft at the Wangye Temple Airport also rushed out for reinforcements at the fastest speed.  Even the Japanese aviation troops stationed in Taonan rushed over for reinforcements.

    "Compared with the Anti-Japanese Alliance Air Force, which had to take off from Qiqihar, which was far away, the Kwantung Army Air Force, which was stationed on the front line of Wangye Temple, took a considerable advantage.  Although both sides called for reinforcements, the first to arrive on the battlefield were thirty-two Kwantung Army Type 97 fighter jets that took off from Wangye Temple Airport.

    Facing the Japanese reinforcements who arrived first, in order to buy time for the No. 1 special plane.  Although the enemy was outnumbered, Yu Ming, the fighter squadron leader responsible for covering, took the remaining eight P-39 fighter jets and faced them without fear in a mature two-plane formation.

    The Japanese Type 97 fighter jet has indeed inherited the tradition of Japanese fighter jets always attaching great importance to combat capabilities, and its low-altitude combat performance is extremely excellent.  However, after conducting air combat drills with the captured Type 97 fighter jets, I have already understood the performance of this fighter jet and know where to hit the first shot.  Moreover, for the Anti-Alliance Air Force, whose aircraft performance was a whole generation ahead, although they had the upper hand in numbers, they still could not gain much advantage in air combat.

    Although the 39 fighter jet has poor high-altitude performance, its stability is also very poor.  But in addition to being much faster than the Type 97 fighter, it also has a very good advantage, that is, the body structure is extremely strong.  The two 7mm and 7mm machine guns of the Type 97 fighter jet hit the body like it was scratching an itch.

    "The P-39 fighter is equipped with not to mention cannons, but large-caliber machine guns. Just one shot is enough to choke the thin-skinned Type 97 fighter.  In addition, at least at medium and low altitudes, the combat performance of the P-39 fighter is no worse than that of the Type 97 fighter.  Similar to the scenes of air battles in the past, once the two sides fought, the Type 97 fighter jets dispatched by the Japanese army were obviously unable to withstand the force.

    Although they have a numerical advantage, they can't match their speed.  When something goes wrong, before you can bite him, he has already slipped away with his long legs.  Its extremely strong body can take a few bullets without causing any damage.  Fly as you should.  Unless the bullet you fired hits a key part such as the engine.

    In this era of air combat, there is no head-on attack, let alone air-to-air missiles.  In an era when airborne weapons, mainly machine guns, had limited range, fights between fighter jets were generally tail-biting attacks.  Otherwise, while destroying the enemy plane, your plane is likely to suffer a fish pond disaster.

    In this case, except for dive attacks, the possibility that the bullets you fire can focus on the opponent's engine is almost slim.  As for hitting other locations, for the thick-skinned P-39 fighter, the damage caused is almost negligible.

    The most important thing is that almost every aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Alliance Air Force is equipped with a radio system. Smooth communication ensures that during an air battle, the commander can effectively direct each aircraft to fight.  The lead aircraft of each small formation cooperates with the wingman in a tacit understanding.

    But except for the bombers, the Japanese fighter planes, which did not even have radios installed on the commander's plane, still relied on flare guns and swinging wings for command.  Under such circumstances, no matter how well-trained the Japanese aviation forces were.  But on a chaotic battlefield, how many pilots can have that leisure time to stare at the battlefield commander's plane for a long time?  Unless he himself dies.

    Especially when facing such a cunning opponent, if you are slightly careless, you may be touched by these guys who have extremely fast legs and feet, and their low-altitude performance is at least as good as yours, but they are rough-skinned and fleshy.  As long as they touch him, there is almost no other option waiting for him except being shot down.

    Faced with an opponent who never plays his cards according to reason, the Japanese commander, who has almost suffered repeated defeats during this period of air combat, not only understands that the performance of his fighter jets is likely to have been figured out by his opponents, but also that the performance of his own planes is lagging behind that of his opponents.  Too much.  Although we have tried our best to make up for it with tactics, no matter how good the tactics are, they cannot bridge the gap in aircraft performance.

    The thirty-two Type 97 fighter jets that the Japanese army took off from Wangye Temple ran away when they couldn't beat them.  Then, after gaining some distance, you quickly climb up and turn around to confront your opponent, who is almost helpless.  Not only was the opponent's formation disrupted several times, he was also repeatedly attacked by the opponent's sneak attack.

    After several rounds, instead of being able to shoot down the enemy planes, he was actually shot down five by the opponent's fierce firepower.  Although this scene was repeated many times in the Northeast Air War, the Japanese aviation commanders on the front line could never find an effective solution.

    And Yu Ming and hisHis subordinates maximized the performance of the P-39 fighter jets in air battles.  Even when being bitten by an opponent and getting rid of it, he flew his own plane through extreme moves that even the designers could not imagine.  Thanks to the Americans who always attach great importance to the survivability of aircraft, no matter how good the performance of the aircraft is, at least in terms of aircraft sturdiness, it is absolutely excellent.

    "Otherwise, if it were a fighter jet from an ordinary country, based on some of the actions they made, I'm afraid it would have disintegrated in the air long ago.  Of course, this is also due to the excellent flying skills of Yu Ming and his men.  You know, Yu Ming and the squadron he led, all the captains were trained in the first batch, and were the first pilots to participate in air combat.

    Since the liberation of Qiqihar, it has been stationed in Qiqihar and responsible for the task of fighting for air supremacy.  He has been the main force in the battle for air supremacy in Western Manchuria.  Almost all the pilots in this squadron, including the pilots who were added later, have achieved results in air combat.  On each person's fuselage, there is a sun flag symbol representing the shooting record.

    There are even several planes with more than one crash mark.  There are many people who are three or four, and there is also one person who is five or more.  Even wingmen generally have at least one kill record mark.  As the commander, Yu Ming's fuselage has seven sun flags representing the results of the downing.

    The sun flags on these fighter jets that represent the downing mark, even according to harsh Western standards, mean that at least two pilots in this squadron have reached the standards of Western ace pilots.  Although in the Western Air Force with a long history, it is not unusual for two ace pilots to appear in a squadron.  But among the young anti-Union airmen, this situation is rare.

    In fact, this battle is also the last air battle that Yu Ming can participate in for at least half a year.  Because according to Yang Zhen's regulations, pilots with more than seven battle results must be transferred to the rear to serve as tactical instructors for at least half a year in order to cultivate more outstanding pilots.  He has received a transfer order to serve as a tactical flight instructor at the Tangyuan Aviation Comprehensive Training Base.  Of course, in this battle, if he had not sacrificed.

    As a fighter pilot, Yu Ming became a rare ace pilot among the young resistance aviation forces.  As a squadron leader, he led a combat squadron with excellent tactics and style.  The troops led by such a commander not only dare to fight tough battles, but also generally have excellent flying skills.

    Fighting with such a squadron, coupled with the gap in aircraft performance.  Even if they had a numerical advantage, the Japanese fleet did not take much advantage.  It has even been successfully attacked by opponents in air battles, relying on the performance of this machine and its skilled air combat technology.

    Just when the Japanese aviation commander who led the team was determined to give up after suffering all the hardships, twelve new fighter jets taking off from Taonan for reinforcements finally arrived.  Moreover, the other reinforcement aircraft that arrived at the same time as this batch of new fighter jets were not the Type 97 fighter jets that are currently the main fighter jets of the Japanese Army.

    Along with these so-called new fighter jets, the Japanese Army, which suffered heavy losses in combat last summer, is trying to make up for its own lack of production capacity, especially the weakness of new high-performance combat aircraft.  Twenty-eight ME 109C fighter jets and 21 RE 2000 fighter jets were specially imported from Germany and Italy on an emergency basis.

    As for those so-called new fighter jets that the Japanese army said, if Yang Zhen saw them, he would immediately recognize that these aircraft were exactly what he was worried about before. Later, they became famous and were called universal fighter jets by the Japanese army, sweeping almost the entire country.  Zero fighter in the Pacific.

    In order to compete for the vital air superiority over Western Manchuria and ensure the safety of the supply line of the 23rd Division stationed on the Hailar front line, the Kwantung Army used all its resources.  Not only were the Zero fighter jets transferred from the Navy temporarily assigned to the Kwantung Army for combat operations, but also the fighter jets imported from Germany and Italy on a temporary basis through high-level relations after the operation last summer.

    Since the Kwantung Army aviation suffered heavy losses in last summer¡¯s battle, the Japanese Army has been almost hungry for new fighter jets in order to restore the vitality of the Kwantung Army¡¯s aviation.  As the development of its own new fighter jets was delayed, it turned its attention to the two allies in the European battlefield who seemed slightly calm after the surrender of France.

    The German Me-109 fighter jet, which has shone brightly on the European battlefield, is naturally the first choice for the Japanese Army that is eager to obtain advanced fighter jets.  It's just a pity that the Germans, who are currently busy with all-out air strikes against the UK and have a huge demand for new combat aircraft, are obviously not willing to sell fighter jets to Japan at this juncture.

    After the Japanese showed their innate tenacity through hard work, and the German head of state also relied on Japan.  Finally the Germans finally agreedAt the end of the day, it agreed to sell 120 me-109 c-type fighter jets that it had obsolete.

    However, in order to make up for their apology for selling obsolete old goods, the Germans expressed their willingness to give away some of the captured French MS 406 fighter jets and D 520 fighter jets to Japan for free.  If the Japanese are really in urgent need, they still have more than ten British Hurricane fighter jets captured during the battle in Western Europe that can be used as a backup
