My own war game

Chapter 198 Zero
"Hey, Taylor, that guy is climbing really fast!" Welch shouted over the comms channel.

"Man, I kind of regret this. I'll go back and tell the ground crew that I want his plane." Taylor on the side also replied in the channel.

"If you two don't want to get shot, you'd better keep your mouths shut." He Chi's voice came from the communicator.

"Damn it! I forgot he could hear me."

Amid the joke, the three planes completed their climb and soon a group of small black dots were spotted in the distance.

About a dozen D12A3 Type 1 carrier-based dive bombers were hovering in the sky, preparing to attack an oil depot.

"I see it, at 7 o'clock! The Japanese Type has started working!" Welch pushed the joystick and went forward.

Three against twelve, it seemed like a battle with a huge disparity in numbers, but the flexibility of the Type 40 could not be compared with that of the P. In addition, the Japanese did not expect that American fighter planes would take off at this time, and were easily bypassed by Welch and Taylor.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

Two P40s flying side by side opened fire from the rear, and immediately one of the Type s was hit on the tail, and it dived headfirst, trailing thick smoke.

However, a counterattack soon arrived. The other Type 7.7s adjusted their flight posture and began to fire back with mm self-defense machine guns.

The design of the Type 99 is very strange. One of its three machine guns is designed on the tail and the angle can be adjusted freely. When there is only one plane, this firepower can be ignored, but when a group of Type 99s fly collectively, they can form an all-round firepower network.

when!
Taylor's plane shook and he felt that his wing must have been hit by a bullet.

"Hey man, I think I got shot, but it's okay."

"It's not easy to deal with them hugging each other. We have to find a way to disperse them!" As Welch finished speaking, a red figure flashed by in front.

The F4u quickly overtook the two planes in a large arc and cut to the side of the Japanese fighter group.

So fast! !
Thanks to the most advanced engine technology, the Corsair fighter can reach a maximum speed of 747 km/h, which is almost 40 times that of the P1.5, making it almost the fastest fighter of the same period.

The Red Corsairs charged directly into the Japanese Type 99 fleet like a red-hot knife cutting into cheese.

Puff p ...

Six 6-inch Browning M0.50 machine guns spewed out flames, and Welch saw at least two Type 2 bombers shot down. One of them must have had its fuel tank blown up, and it directly set off fireworks in the air.

Like a flock of sheep driven by a sheepdog, the Japanese fighter formation was instantly disrupted and divided into two parts, one large and one small.

God-given opportunity!

Welch and Taylor drove their P40 fighters towards their respective targets.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!
The independent bomber groups became the best targets, and the two P40s each made gains.

"Guys, I feel like I can take down at least five today," Welch shouted excitedly in the communication channel.

"Idiot! Don't get too carried away! Watch out behind you! 8 o'clock!" He Chi cursed on the radio.

Sure enough, a formation of six Zero fighters appeared behind them. The Zero's maneuverability was completely beyond that of the P40, and Welch and Taylor were at a disadvantage from the first moment the two sides encountered each other.

"I got him! I got him!" Taylor shouted in the communication channel. He could even see the tail of the enemy plane, but it suddenly somersaulted over and bit Taylor's plane from behind.

"Damn! What the hell is this thing! It's so agile!" Taylor hurriedly maneuvered the plane to dodge, but he couldn't get rid of it.

Bang bang bang bang! ! ! ! !

The Zero opened fire. Unlike the P40's .30 caliber small water pipe, the Zero had two 2mm machine guns and two 7.7mm cannons. Taylor felt the plane he was sitting on pause and something flew in the air.

That was part of the tail of his fighter plane.

"I'm hit! I'm hit!" Taylor shouted on the radio, struggling to keep the fighter balanced.

"Hold on, man! I'm coming!" Welch wanted to come over to help, but he was also being chased by two other Zeros.

At the critical moment, the red figure appeared again. The Corsair fighter piloted by He Chi appeared in the gap between the two sides' pursuit. With a fierce firepower, the two Zeros had to temporarily give up chasing the P40.

"You cover him as he finds an airport to land, and I will hold back the Japanese!" He Chi shouted in the communication channel.

"Damn! Let's go to the airport, change planes, and be back soon!" Welch flew the plane to cover Taylor at a low altitude.

The P40 began to turn and fly towards the airport on the other side, while the Red Corsair bravely faced the Japanese aircraft group alone.

Taylor looked back from the smoking fighter and saw the Zero fighter beginning to chase the red Corsair, the two sides kept entangled in the air.

"Don't die, man, I'll pay for our drinks next time." Welch murmured.

At this time, the Zero, which had previously had the advantage, found that the situation in front of it suddenly changed. The maneuverability of the strangely shaped red fighter was no worse than theirs, and its speed was even better.

The red Corsair fighter deliberately lured the Japanese plane in front to bite its tail, then suddenly performed a vertical power dive and turned on the afterburner to suddenly increase the speed, while performing difficult maneuvers such as rolling at high speed, and intentionally or unintentionally lured the opponent to roll to the right.

The Zero fighter pilot didn't take it seriously. He thought that the pilot of the strange fighter in front of him was already panicking and would be shot down by him soon.

Therefore, the Zero behind also increased its speed to make maneuvers.

Click~click~click~~~
After two chases, an abnormal sound suddenly appeared in the cabin. Before the Zero pilot could figure out what was going on, he was horrified to find that his fighter plane had stopped in the air.

The fatal flaw of the Zero fighter was that it used a floating carburetor, which gave it excellent handling performance and a very small turning radius only at lower speeds. Once it exceeded 371 km/h, it would become very clumsy. At the same time, under negative acceleration conditions, its engine would easily stop and stall.

Two of the six Zero planes suddenly stopped in the air at the same time and fell straight down. The other pilots didn't understand what was happening and almost thought that the other planes were using some kind of magic. They were panicked for a moment.

The red pirate took advantage of this opportunity and dived into the thick clouds.

The four Zero planes searched high and low for any trace of the enemy plane but found nothing. The enemy's superb technology and elusive tactics made them feel as if they were surrounded by a plane.

Ta-da! Ta-da! Ta-da!

Deadly bullets shot out from the clouds!
