Chapter 642: Be on Guard

Also, if you have more trust in the dead soldiers, they will work harder.

Let them control the two quadruple-mounted anti-aircraft machine guns alone according to their own battle plan, and the results may be better than commanding them themselves.

Ye Tian planned to use the FN57 pistol to speak again when the time comes.

Of course, in order to increase the hit rate, Ye Tian will activate its silent sniper rifle function.

Using this function, Ye Tian can hit targets within 1,500 meters wherever he points.

In Ye Tian's impression, during the Anti-Japanese War, the aircraft of both China and Japan had open cockpits.

In order not to affect breathing, air combat can only be carried out at medium and low altitudes of one to two thousand meters.

Ye Tian believed that if he was within the range and scientifically calculated the lead time, he would have great hope of shooting down the Japanese plane again with his marksmanship.

Under Ye Tian's watch and under the guidance of a reconnaissance plane, 38 enemy planes flew towards the Nanyuan area of ​​​​Beiping.

Feeling that the enemy plane was not within range, Ye Tian did not fire, nor did he let the dead soldiers fire.

Ye Tian knew that before long, these planes would turn back and bomb the Nanyuan position again.

After thinking about it, Ye Tian gave another order to the dead soldiers just in case:

During the period before the battle begins, quickly camouflage the cave entrance, especially the two anti-aircraft machine guns, and then continue to hide and stand by.

Once they give the battle order, the dead soldiers must immediately enter the battle state.

Moreover, when the time comes, they must quickly turn the muzzle of the machine gun, and fire immediately if they find a Japanese aircraft entering the range of the machine gun.

Of course, when they fire, they have to execute their own plan.

Ye Tian knew that if he wanted to hit the plane, he could only do it while they were flying at low to medium altitude.

Under normal circumstances, reconnaissance aircraft fly very high, far beyond the effective range of anti-aircraft machine guns, so we can only wait and see, and there is no way.

However, behind the reconnaissance aircraft, there will be formations of fighters and bombers.

Considering that he would inevitably fight Japanese planes in the future, Ye Tian had a goal:

After a while, as long as he heard the sound of an airplane, he would be able to immediately tell whether it was a reconnaissance plane, a bomber, or a fighter jet!

Because bombers carry a large amount of ammunition, they roar much louder than reconnaissance aircraft and fly at a lower altitude.

Although fighter jets are about the same size as reconnaissance aircraft and are much smaller than bombers, they also carry a certain amount of ammunition and their roar is louder than that of reconnaissance aircraft.

In addition, compared with bombers, due to their compactness and flexibility and the task of escorting bombers, fighter jets sometimes fly lower.

In fact, considering these reasons, Ye Tian's main shooting targets are bombers, especially fighter jets.

Also, the effective range of an anti-aircraft machine gun is 6,000 meters for horizontal fire, and the effective range for anti-aircraft fire is only 3,500 meters.

Reconnaissance aircraft generally fly at an altitude of more than 6,000 meters, and fighter jets and bombers usually fly at about 4,000 meters.

Wearing binoculars, Ye Tian continued to detect the enemy's situation.

Ye Tian knew that during World War II, aircraft did not fly very fast, and bombers were even slower. In order to escort, fighter jets usually had to maintain the same speed as bombers.

What made Ye Tian's eyes light up was that he discovered a pattern.

These fighter jets were flying behind the bombers. After thinking about it, Ye Tian quickly figured out the reason.

Bombers were too heavy, too large, and slower than fighters;

When escorting from behind, if the bomber is found to be in danger, the fighter jet will accelerate to overtake the bomber and then enter combat mode;

Most of the defensive weapons equipped on those bombers are at the front of the fuselage, with the tail having the weakest defense;

The maneuverability of the bomber is quite limited. When locked by the enemy, it is basically impossible to escape from danger by its own maneuverability;

The most important thing is that the bomber's observation windows are concentrated in the front of the fuselage, and the rear fuselage is almost invisible, and the wingmen at the back often rely on help.

Also, there were no airborne radars during this period, let alone missiles.

During combat, fighter jets mainly rely on machine guns and naked eye search.

Of course, Ye Tian also discovered something.

The bomber's maneuverability is not strong, but even if it flies at medium and low altitudes, it is not easy to deal with.

Inside the cabin, large and small aerial bombs and aircraft-mounted heavy machine guns are not vegetarian.

Looking at these planes, Ye Tian did not intend to simply drive them away or scare them.

In order to leave an unforgettable memory for them, Ye Tian's small goal was to shoot down at least one.

Of course, the more brilliant the results, the better.

Also, after successfully rescuing the 226th Regiment Health Team last time, the system turned on the early warning function.

This time, if some planes can be shot down, new features may be enabled.

In fact, even if no new features are enabled, enhancing those old features will definitely make you happy.

Staring at these planes, Ye Tianyi repeatedly provided science education to the dead soldiers.

For example, when using an anti-aircraft machine gun, try not to shoot head-on.

Doing so will allow the Japanese pilots to discover the machine gun position prematurely, thereby exposing the target.

In addition, Ye Tian also told the dead soldiers that when shooting aircraft, they must have an angle.

Specifically, try to shoot at the tail of the plane.

In this way, to a certain extent, it can not only achieve precise strikes, but also ensure that it is not discovered prematurely by the enemy.

Under Ye Tian's gaze, after attacking the Nanyuan position, the group of planes turned around in a big circle, trying to carry out the next wave of attacks.

In this situation, Ye Tian did not dare to neglect and made all preparations for the battle.

What made Ye Tian depressed was that these planes were flying at a high altitude and were still out of range.

Although he was concerned about the Nanyuan position, there was no way, Ye Tian could only continue to observe and wait for the fighter planes to appear.

At the same time, his mind was racing, and Ye Tian thought of the miserable Chinese Air Force again.

In Ye Tian's impression, the Chinese Air Force was established in 1929.

At the beginning, the Air Force was affiliated with the Ministry of Military Affairs.

Specifically, it was affiliated with the Aviation Bureau of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

In 1934, the Aviation Committee was established, with Jiang Jieshi personally serving as chairman and Qian Dajun as director.

From then on, the Air Force separated from the Ministry of Military Affairs and became an independent department.

In fact, in the history of the world's air forces, the Chinese Air Force was independent earlier.

It must be said that at the beginning, the Chinese Air Force's partner was Italy.

After finding that the effect was average, the Chinese Air Force began to cooperate with the United States.

Of course, there was also a lot of cooperation with Russia.

In February 1936, Qian Dajun was promoted to aide-de-camp to Jiang Jieshi, and Zhou Zhirou was transferred to the position of director of the Air Force.

It is important that at this time, the first lady Song Meiling was concerned about the Air Force and personally served as secretary-general.
