10月17日，下午4点20分，中日菲律宾战役中的第一次空中较量在日属菲律宾北部的碧瑶市西北约50公里的空中展开。日本方面一共出动了72架性能优异的零式战斗机。而中国方面参战的则是80架Fw-190A8型战斗机。另外40架Bf-110G重型战斗机则奉命继续在7000米高空护送轰炸机群向南飞行，没有参战。

The performance of this space-time zero battle is slightly different from that in history, but in general it is still a very good fighter, and it is also a light route.Currently equipped with the Japanese Navy and Army (the Japanese Army is also equipped with Zero War in advance) are A6M1 Zero War 13.This model is equipped with an improved "Rong" 12 engine with 1000 horsepower, which allows the Zero War, which has a maximum take-off weight of only 2320 kilograms, to have a maximum speed of 512 kilometers per hour. The firepower is four 4mm aviation machine guns.

The opponent of the Zero War, the Fw-190A8 of the Chinese Air Force (also not exactly the same as in history) has a maximum take-off weight of up to 4900 kg, which is almost double the weight of the Zero War.However, the engine power of this aircraft is also much larger than that of the Zero Type. They are equipped with BMW801D-3 engines with 1800 horsepower.This allows this fighter, which is more than twice as heavy as the Zero War, to have a speed of up to 650 kilometers per hour. The firepower of the Fw-190A8 fighter is so powerful that it is close to the ground attack aircraft. It has four 4mm cannons and two 20mm aviation machine guns. If it is used for close combat, it can also hang a 7.62 kg bomb!

Comparing the performance data of these two aircrafts, even a complete layman in air combat knows that the Zero is completely at a disadvantage.However, this Japanese aircraft is not without some advantages. At least the zero-style turning performance is quite good, and it should have a good performance in air dogfights.

Therefore, after mastering the various data of the Fw-190 series fighters, the Japanese Naval Aviation Department required all zero-combat pilots to use air dogfighting to eliminate opponents as much as possible.But the problem is...

"I am Colonel Chen Ruitian, the head of the 14th Combat Flight Regiment. Now everyone obeys my orders. Two planes form up and dive to attack the Japanese fleet in front. Remember, our tactics are to dive, attack, and then climb again. Don't get entangled with Japanese planes. fight!"

This tactic was used by American planes in the previous life to deal with the relatively superior Zero fighters at that time. Of course Luo Yaoguo knew about it, so the first actual battle of this time-space zero battle is destined to be a great tragedy!

Amidst bursts of engine whistling, 80 Fw-190A8 fighter jets formed 40 two-aircraft formations, swooped down from the hidden clouds, and went straight to the 72 Japanese Zeros that were still circling around to search for Chinese bombers. fighter.Before most of the Japanese pilots could react, the 20mm machine gun and 7.62mm aviation machine gun began to roar and spit out flames!Those zero battles that had no defense capabilities at all were blown up and exploded in the air, and the pilots who drove them didn't even have a chance to escape by parachuting!After completing the first wave of near-perfect kills, the 80 Fw-190A8 planes did not even consider fighting with the surviving 50 or so zero battles, but directly dived down, relying on high-speed throwing It opened the opponent, then pulled up suddenly, and once again rushed straight into the sky in a nearly vertical posture, and then started another dive attack with a two-plane formation.

"Retreat! Attention everyone, spread out and retreat now!" At this time, the voice of Minakasa Genada rang in the earphones of all the surviving Zero War pilots.

Thanks to the head of state, these zero-type airborne radio stations were all presented by Germany, otherwise Genda would have to dance and use gestures to order the fleet under his command to escape.The captain of Japan's earliest kamikaze special attack brigade seemed to be quite calm. When the Chinese Fw-190 swooped down, he knew that this battle could not be fought!These Chinese obviously did not have the courage to fight in the air with the skilled Japanese pilots, so Genda simply ordered to retreat... However, more than 30 low-speed fighter jets can go from a speed of 100 kilometers per hour higher than theirs. Escape from the hands of a high-speed fighter?

……

1939年10月17日，下午5点30分。日属菲律宾，米沙鄢海。日本第10航空舰队旗舰赤城号航空母舰上。

"Your Excellency, Commander, the radar station we deployed on Panay Island has reported that an unidentified aircraft has been spotted." The communication staff's loud shout suddenly broke the tranquility in the combat command center.

"Could it be our seaplane?" Nan Yunzhong frowned and turned to ask his chief of staff Kuroshima.The 10th Air Force is now on its way home.Almost all the planes on their six aircraft carriers have been sent out to perform missions. According to the deployment before the war, those kamikaze planes will naturally go and never return, and the zero battles that have the opportunity to return will also be in Luzon Island. Landed on the airport, and the air fleet ran away immediately after releasing the plane.However, while running, Nanyun still ordered the seaplane carried by the cruiser to dispatch the enemy.

"Contact all seaplanes on missions and ask for their locations." Less than 10 minutes after the Black Island Turtleman's order was issued, the communications staff reported in a trembling voice: "Sir, that plane is not ours!"

"Baga! It's a Chinese Black Hawk reconnaissance plane!" Nan Yunzhong took a deep breath, and his face immediately became gloomy. "Kuroshima-kun, where is their bomber fleet now?"

"50 minutes ago, the 21st Aviation Team reported that about 240 Chinese bombers had arrived about 50 kilometers north of Manila..." Hei Dao seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly there were pea-sized spots on his forehead. beads of sweat.He looked at Nanyun Zhongyi and murmured:

"But Manila doesn't seem to have been attacked by air! They must be coming at us! At 400 speeds per hour, we should be able to fly to the Sea of ​​Xiyanbu in 50 minutes. Your Excellency, Commander, I'm afraid we won't be able to escape unscathed. Please order Let's fight!"

"Send the order, raise the battle alarm, and arrange the air defense formation!" Nan Yunzhong gritted his teeth, looked up at the empty aviation deck, and couldn't help cursing his immediate boss Yamamoto 56 in his heart.This gamble was too thorough, and all the chips were put on it, so that the entire air fleet didn't even have a single zero fighter for self-defense!But fortunately, according to the intelligence of the 21st Air Force, the attack this time is some medium and large bombers of the Chinese Air Force. Without those terrible A-4 dive bombers, those Chinese are still afraid of death and dare not act like that. Japan's kamikazes do "one-way planes" that never return. Otherwise, with the A-4's range of up to 1700 kilometers, their 10th Air Fleet will definitely have only one way to annihilate the entire army!

At this time, the bleak battle alarm has broken the calm of the Visayas Sea. The 10th Air Fleet, composed of six aircraft carriers, four heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, ten destroyers, one oil tanker and one transport ship, Sure enough, they are well-trained. It took less than 28 minutes for 15 ships of various types to form a team. 20 cruisers and destroyers surrounded 6 precious aircraft carriers and two transport ships (tankers). He ran to his post without any panic.Countless anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns raised their black muzzles to the sky.

It didn't take long before the group of bombers that covered the sky and the sun roared towards them under the sunlight. Thousands of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns of the entire Japanese 10th Air Fleet also opened fire at the same time. Fire nets were woven in the air.

The Chinese bomber fleet was quickly divided into 6 teams, each of which consisted of 40 He-111, Ju-88 or Fw-200 bombers.Pounce on the 6 Japanese aircraft carriers that are making evasive actions at sea!Since these planes are not professional dive bombers, they do not have the ability to strike accurately. They can only fly over the Japanese aircraft carrier in formation level, drop bombs at the same time, and rely on the number of bombs to try their luck.

第7轰炸航空师师长孙扬中将驾驶的一架Fw-200H型轰炸机同第13轰炸航空团一起行动，这个轰炸航空团由40架Fw-200H重型轰炸机所组成，每架Fw-200H的炸弹舱里面都携带了16枚250公斤的穿甲炸弹！40架飞机一共有640枚250公斤重的穿甲炸弹，只要其中的一枚很幸运地命中日本航空母舰，这一趟就算没有白来了！

"Altitude 4000, the target aircraft carrier Akagi, follow me!" Sun Yang fixed his eyes on the flagship of the 10th Air Fleet not far away, and loudly gave the order to attack. 40 heavy bombers lined up in a tight bombing formation, and rushed over to meet the intensive anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese ships.

"Steady! Stabilize! Keep in formation, the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery can't hit us." Sun Yang's voice came from the airborne radio of each Fw-200H bomber.In fact, what he said has a certain truth. Now the height of the entire Fw-200H fleet is 4000 meters, and the opponent's anti-aircraft machine guns and 20mm anti-aircraft guns cannot reach it. There are six bomber formations, and each bomber formation is only more than 300 doors. This kind of firepower density is not dense at all.Moreover, the bulletproof capability of these Fw-40H bombers is not weak. It is difficult for ordinary 50mm anti-aircraft gun fragments to cause fatal damage to them, and there are too few 200mm and 40mm anti-aircraft guns in actual combat.

The entire formation quickly approached the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi, and suddenly the order "Ready! Release!" came from the airborne radio.The moment these 40 heavy bombers flew over the aircraft carrier, all the bomb bay doors opened at the same time, and 640 armor-piercing bombs weighing 250 kilograms fell like raindrops. The sea around the Akagi aircraft carrier seemed to boil all of a sudden. Columns of water jets rose up one after another.Seeing such a scene from the scope, Sun Yang's heart seemed to rise to his throat, God bless, there must be a bomb hit!

Suddenly a ball of fire rose from the aircraft carrier below!Then another flash of fire flashed by! "Long live! We hit it!" There was cheering in Sun Yang's earphones.

Chapter 0926 Total War ([-]) Kamikaze

Looking at the fire on the deck of the Akagi that had been brought under control by the damage control team, Nagumo Tadaichi heaved a sigh of relief.Although the bombing round just now was not small, the hit rate was pitifully low. The Chinese bombers probably dropped 6 bombs on the Akagi, and in the end only two bombs hit. From the point of view of the fire group, it is at most a 700 kg armor-piercing bomb. Although it can blow through the deck of the Akagi, it will not sink the aircraft carrier unless the fire caused by the explosion cannot be controlled, causing a series of explosions on the aircraft carrier. Burn the aircraft carrier to an empty shell.However, such a situation is unlikely to happen to the current Akagi, because the carrier-based aircraft that are prone to chain explosions have already been dispatched, and since there is only one planned attack, the aircraft carrier does not carry too much ammunition.

"Commander, the damage control team leader reported that Akagi's bow and midship were each hit by a 250kg bomb, the flight deck was penetrated, and both bombs exploded in the hangar... But the fire caused Seriously, it's under control now." The communications staff put down the phone in his hand and loudly reported the loss to Nagumo.

"Ask about the losses of other ships." Nanyun looked up at the sky. At this time, the first wave of air strikes by Chinese bombers had ended, and they were retreating to the southwest. They should be going to Palawan Island under Chinese control. The people built a medium-sized airport there, where these planes could land, refuel, and then fly to the airport in Borneo.

"The stern of the Kaga was hit by a bomb, and the aviation deck was penetrated; the Zuikaku was hit by two bombs, both at the bow, and two large holes were blown out of the aviation deck; the Xianghe, Canglong, and Shenlong four Each of the two motherships was hit by a bomb, but the damage was not serious and did not affect the take-off and landing of the aircraft. In addition, the bow of the light cruiser Oi was hit by a 250 kg armor-piercing bomb, and a large hole was blown out, pouring into several One hundred tons of seawater is currently being rescued with all efforts."

After listening to the communication staff's report, Nagumo's mouth twitched into a wry smile. Does the 10th Air Fleet still have carrier-based aircraft that can take off and land?He sighed and ordered: "Go south at full speed into the Philippine Sea, and then cross the Surigao Strait into the Pacific Ocean." Aircraft carriers without carrier-based aircraft naturally lose their combat effectiveness, and it is meaningless to stay on the battlefield. Let's go back to the mainland first.

Before the fleet adjusted its course, the communication staff reported loudly again: "Commander, the heavy cruiser Atago reported that their radar detected a group of Chinese bombers! Azimuth XXX, altitude XXXX, the number is about 300, and the distance is about 80 kilometers. It's flying towards us!"

"What! There are 300 bombers again!" Tadashi Nagumo felt a sudden blackness in front of his eyes, and almost fainted on the ground. The chief of staff, Kameto Kuroshima, supported Nagumo and suggested loudly: "Look!" The bombers from the Chinese are coming at us, immediately ask the 21st and 22nd Air Forces for help, and ask them to send Zero fighters to come for reinforcements!"

"Yes, yes, tell them to quickly send out Zero Fighters." Nagumo Zhongichi is now in a state of confusion, and he doesn't think about how these Chinese bombers could fly to him if the Zero fighters of the 21st and 22nd Aviation Teams are still there. on the head of the aircraft carrier?

80公里的距离对以400公里时速飞行的轰炸机编队来说不过是一眨眼的功夫。发起这一波空袭的是中国空军第8轰炸机师的40架Fw-200H重型轰炸机，80架Ju-88中型轰炸机和120架He-111中型轰炸机。此外还有60架Bf-110重型战斗机担任护航。第8轰炸航空师的战术和第7轰炸航空师完全相同，240架轰炸机分成6个编队，分别扑向6艘日本航空母舰，炸弹又像雨点般地落下。

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, and the Akagi aircraft carrier slammed again. Nagumo Chuichi saw another string of flames shooting up from the deck of the aircraft carrier. The damage control team members who were struggling to put out the fire were immediately scattered by the bomb explosion. The flying shrapnel cut down a large area!

"Baga! This is a high-explosive bomb!" Nanyun couldn't help but wanted to yell, these Chinese people are too sloppy in their work, they should use armor-piercing bombs to blow up warships, how can they use high-explosive bombs?That's for bombing ground targets.In fact, Nanyun didn't know that this high-explosive bomb was not "wrongly installed" on the bomber because of the carelessness of the Chinese Air Force ground crew, but that there were not enough 250 kg armor-piercing bombs in the Second Air Force's ammunition depot. Bombs, they are the air force after all, not the naval aviation that specializes in dealing with the fleet.So we can only use 125 kg or 50 kg high-explosive bombs to make up the number. Except for the bombers of the 7th Bomber Air Division that launched the first round of air strikes, all of them carried armor-piercing bombs. The divisions are all mixed with armor-piercing and high-explosive bombs.

This round of air strikes by the 8th Bomber Air Division also dropped thousands of tons of bombs, but because of the high-altitude horizontal bombing, the results were not satisfactory. The six Japanese aircraft carriers were hit by one to three bombs each, and a heavy cruiser was hit by a 6kg armor-piercing bomb, and a turret was thrown into the sky.However, in this round of sea and air battles, the anti-aircraft firepower of Japan's 250th Air Fleet also shot down two He-10 medium bombers.

Less than a quarter of an hour after the 8th Bomber Division flew away, the third round of air strikes arrived as scheduled! 240 medium and heavy bombers chased the six scarred Japanese aircraft carriers and bombarded them indiscriminately for 30 minutes before heading away. The sea was full of warships emitting thick black smoke. Although most of the 10 ships of various types were injured, none of them sank!

The Chinese, who have used 720 medium and heavy bombers and failed to achieve the record of sinking the Japanese aircraft carrier, seem to be discouraged, and the last round of bombing did not come as scheduled.Thirty minutes after the third round of bombing, the Akagi received the "good news" that the two major military airports in Manila and Sukbe were attacked by Chinese aircraft. The officers in the Akagi command center breathed a sigh of relief. They all have a feeling of survival after disaster. Their flagship suffered two 30 kg armor-piercing bombs in the first round of bombing, and suffered a 250 kg high-explosive bomb and a 125 kg bomb in the second round of air raids. Armor-piercing bombs, in the third round of air strikes, they ate two more 250kg armor-piercing bombs, and were hit by five 250kg armor-piercing bombs and one 250kg high-explosive bomb!There are five large holes emitting thick smoke on the flight deck. Although there is no danger of sinking, it is inevitable that it will be overhauled in the factory after driving back to Japan... If there is another round of indiscriminate bombing, no one can guarantee that the ship will sink. The warship was spared.

As for the situation of the remaining five aircraft carriers, the situation was not much better. The Kaga, which was the most damaged, was hit by seven 7 kg armor-piercing projectiles, one of which hit the power cabin at the stern of the ship, destroying two steam turbines. The Kaga lost half of its power, and its top speed dropped to 250 knots.The damage to the Soryu was also quite serious. An oil depot at the bow was ignited by a fire caused by a bomb explosion. Although the fire was finally brought under control, the bow of the Soryu was severely damaged. After returning to China, it is impossible to restore it without overhaul for more than half a year fighting ability.Ruihe, Xianghe, and Shenlong suffered slightly better damage, but the aviation deck was blown out with holes, and the hangar was completely riddled with holes, so it is not difficult to repair.

"It's really a heavy loss." Nanyun Zhongyi took the loss report sent by Hei Dao, and couldn't help shaking his head: "The three ships Ruihe, Xianghe, and Shenlong will need to be repaired for at least two months, and the other three motherships may need to be repaired." It took five to six months to fix it."

"It's worth it," Kuroshima Kameto managed to force a smile, "Our more than 700 kamikaze planes will soon retaliate against the Chinese aircraft carrier!"

……

"My God! It's a Chinese fighter!"

When Second Lieutenant Nishizawa Hiroyoshi drove a Zero fighter out of the clouds, he was immediately stunned by the sight in front of him.Because he saw that the sky in the distance was densely packed with Chinese fighter jets!Most of them are Fw-190, and a small part is twin-engine Bf-110. The number always looks like three or four hundred!

"It seems that this is my burial place!" When Nishizawa Hiroyoshi was thinking to himself, a voice that seemed to be shouting with all his strength came from the airborne radio.

"Attention all, I am Lieutenant Commander Shibata Takeo, and I am in charge now. The kamikaze plane charges! Don't worry about the planes of the Chinese, their aircraft carrier is your target!"

"All Zero fighters, follow me, and teach those Chinese pig planes a lesson!"

"Come on!"

With the shout of the commander of the Ryujo Air Force nicknamed "Brave Shibata", all the Japanese pilots seemed to forget that they were flying planes, not infantry fighting bayonets!They all slammed the joystick, shouted and rushed towards the opponent's fighter group at high speed. Although the enemy's aircraft had an overwhelming advantage in performance, and the number was not small, only one-third of the Type 99 Kamikaze The special attack aircraft can break through the blockade of enemy aircraft, and it will also severely damage the Chinese fleet in Zhanjiang Naval Port!

This kind of fight, which seems to be like an airplane fighting a bayonet, seems to have really played a role, and the hundreds of Chinese Fw-190s and Bf-110s also panicked for a while.Although from a distance, these Chinese fighter planes are almost covering the sky, but in fact the gap between them is very large, and it is impossible to intercept more than 500 Type 99 Kamikaze special attack aircraft and more than 30 Zero fighter jets suddenly Launched a deadly impact.From a distance, it seemed that two huge silver clouds flying at high speed appeared in the sky, and they collided suddenly. With the flash of fire, dozens of small dots dragged long black smoke They all fell from the sky.If you use a telescope to carefully observe the small dots that are falling into the sea, you will find that it is a Japanese fighter plane with red sun marks painted on the wings and fuselage.

However, the heavily damaged Japanese aircraft showed no sign of retreating at all. Except for about 20 Type Zero fighters that rushed towards hundreds of Chinese aircraft as if they were going crazy, and were then smashed into pieces by countless fire streams, most of the Type 99s The kamikaze special attack planes didn't seem to see these Chinese fighter jets who came to intercept them at all, and just charged with their heads covered.After discovering that so many fighter jets on my side failed to stop these desperate kamikazes, the Chinese Fw-109 and Bf-110 also turned around and chased after them without hesitation, following these kamikaze special attack aircraft that were probably determined to die. Behind him, relying on his high-speed and powerful firepower, he bit the opponent tightly and fired continuously.There were planes in the sky that were hit by bombs and caught fire, but those Type 99 Kamikaze planes that hadn't been shot down were still rushing forward.

"Air strike! Air strike!"

The shrill air raid sirens immediately sounded on all the ships of the Second Fleet of the Chinese Navy.Speaking of which, the Second Fleet was really unlucky. Their original task was to stay in Zhanjiang Naval Port as a bait.But no one thought that the Japanese aircraft carrier would be discovered by Chinese reconnaissance planes in the offshore waters of the Philippines, 1300 kilometers away from Zhanjiang Naval Port. After discovering the Japanese fleet, Zhao Zheng was naturally reluctant to let these precious warships stay in the port and be bombed. It is to let them leave the military port.But just as they drove out of Guangzhou Bay, the first wave of Japanese kamikaze attacks arrived!Moreover, in a very short period of time, it broke through the interception of more than 300 Fw-190s and Bf-110s, and appeared in the sky above the Second Fleet. At this time, the unlucky Second Fleet had not even had time to form an air defense formation.

At the same time, cheers erupted from the cockpits of the cornered Japanese kamikazes being pursued by Fw-190s and Bf-110s.Four aircraft carriers, three battleships, four heavy cruisers, ten light cruisers, and more destroyers seemed to be on the sea defenselessly!Even the air defense formation is not fully set up, isn't this obviously to prevent the big guys from dying in vain?If I were to be buried with an aircraft carrier, I would be willing to die!

With this mentality, after seeing the Chinese aircraft carrier, the more than 150 kamikaze special attack aircraft that have not been shot down by the Chinese fighter jets all swarmed down their noses and swooped down towards the flight deck, hoping to crash to death on it. .
