On San Marino Island, a bloody sun rose from the sea level. Xu Rui looked at the beach in the distance with a telescope. In the battle last night, the Japanese Marine Corps suffered a nearly devastating blow. Xu Rui made a preliminary estimate. The number of corpses on the mountain would probably be no less than 8,000.
The Japanese Marine Corps is the elite of the Japanese army, but it has suffered such a heavy blow. This can only show that their opponents are too powerful. Xu Rui completely has the Japanese at his fingertips.
"Lao Xu, this battle was well fought." Leng Tiefeng said.
Xu Rui smiled and said: "Veteran, this is just the beginning. The Japanese will not give up. They will definitely come back. We must be prepared."
"Captain, if this is the case, we will kill as many Japanese devils as they come," Digua said.
Xu Rui asked: "How much ammunition do we have?"
Digua scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "After the fierce battle last night, half of our artillery shells were used and one-third of the bullets were used."
Xu Rui said: "Our three regiments use automatic weapons a lot, which consumes a lot of ammunition. In just one battle, we used up so much ammunition. If there is no replenishment, it will be difficult for us to persist."
Digua asked: "Captain, what should we do?"
Xu Rui said: "Immediately send a telegram to MacArthur and ask him to find a way to replenish ammunition for us. Make the situation more serious and say that most of our ammunition has been consumed. If we cannot replenish it in time, it will be difficult to continue."
Digua said: "Captain, what should we do now?"
Xu Rui said: "We can't do anything now. Let's wait for the ammunition to be replenished. I hope the U.S. aviation force can win the air battle in Hawaii. If we win the air battle, we can continue to receive supplies through the air. If the Americans If we lose this air battle, then we will be alone, and the loss of San Marino Island will become inevitable."
After hearing Xu Rui's words, everyone's hearts sank, and the good mood of just winning the battle was gone.
"Our situation is not good." Leng Tiefeng said.
"Yes, San Marino Island has now become a thorn stuck in the throat of the devils. If we are pulled out, the devils can make great strides forward. Therefore, the devils are bound to send more troops to fight for San Marino Island. Now, we can only watch The result of the air battle."
"Commander, tell me, who will win this air battle between the Yankees and the Japanese?" Digua asked.
Xu Rui looked sternly, looked at the sky from a distance, and said: "The answer will be revealed soon..."
Over Oahu, hundreds of U.S. and Japanese fighter planes were constantly fighting each other, and from time to time, planes were shot down and fell to the ground.
A Zero fighter bit a Mustang fighter flying in front. The pilot's face showed excitement and he was about to fire. The Mustang in front suddenly climbed up and lost its shadow in an instant. The Japanese pilot was shocked. He couldn't believe his eyes. When did the Americans have such a maneuverable fighter jet
At the next moment, the Japanese pilot found that an American fighter jet was biting him behind him. The Japanese pilot made a barrel roll, plus two consecutive side rolls, and quickly got rid of the American plane. He breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself, the American plane Most of the pilots were obviously novices, and their flying skills were really mediocre. They were incomparable to the flying skills of Japanese pilots. I could easily get rid of the American planes behind me.
The Japanese pilot was feeling proud, but at the next moment, the US fighter plane that had been thrown away locked onto him from behind again.
"what happened?"
The Japanese pilot was startled. Obviously, he did not expect that the US fighter planes would catch up so quickly. Only then did the Japanese pilot find out to his surprise that the Americans’ flying skills had not improved much, but the performance of their aircraft did not seem to improve. few.
The Japanese pilot once again wanted to get rid of the US aircraft behind him, but unfortunately it was too late. The US pilot behind hit the Zero with a string of machine gun bullets. The Zero's weak and almost non-existent protection was instantly penetrated, and the fuel tank After being hit, it exploded directly in the air and turned into a ball of burning flames.
Since the Mustang fighter jets joined the air battle, the American fighter jets had an advantage in performance, making up for the technical disadvantages of many pilots. The two sides fought extremely stalemate.
"boom!"
A Zero fighter in front was blown up by George Welch. This was the third Japanese Zero fighter that George Welch shot down in a row. George Welch was in a very good mood. At this moment , George found that he was bitten by a Zero.
"Interesting." George Welch smiled and immediately did a barrel roll. The machine body dropped instantly. Shima Shengzo behind him suddenly discovered that the shadow of a US fighter jet was missing in front. In an instant, Shima Shengzo realized that he had encountered Strong enemy.
Shima Shengzo was determined to destroy this US fighter jet. He tilted the fuselage and pursued it downwards.
Just when George Welch was about to take a breath, he found that the Japanese fighter jets were chasing after him again. He was shocked and said to himself that the flying skills of the Japanese behind him were really good. It seemed that he wanted to have a good game with him.
George Welch piloted the fighter jet and made several barrel rolls, side rolls, and horizontal turns in the air, but he still couldn't get rid of Shima Shengzo. George Welch knew that his opponent was very powerful, so Using the last trick, the fuselage suddenly climbed up, then flew upside down, did an Inmans spin, and flew behind the Shima Katsuzo fighter.
Just after landing, George Welch was surprised to find that the Japanese fighter jet in front had once again disappeared. The next moment, George Welch only felt the wings of the plane shake. It turned out that the Zero fighter piloted by Shima Katsuzo used the rapid climb to The characteristics of the aircraft had climbed above George Welch's plane, and then launched an attack on George Welch's plane.
The bullet from the Zero fighter hit the wing of the Mustang fighter. George Welch tried his best to control the fuselage. The plane was emitting thick smoke and staggered towards the ground.
Seeing that he couldn't control the plane, George Welch had no choice but to parachute, and the plane plunged into the sea...
"Fifth frame!"
Shima Shengzo was extremely proud. This was the fifth American fighter jet he shot down today, but this last one was the most difficult to deal with. Shima Shengzo discovered that the performance of this latest fighter jet equipped by the Americans was completely superior to zero. Above all, if it weren't for my superb skills, I would probably be the one who was shot down today.
In fact, the air battle also confirmed Shima Katsuzo's idea. In the air battle at this time, the U.S. aviation force swept away the previous decline and showed that the combat effectiveness of the Japanese aviation force was not weaker than that of the Japanese aviation force. At least it did not fall behind in the current air battle. At a disadvantage, all the Japanese pilots were veterans, and most of the American pilots were newcomers. In this case, the two sides could draw a draw, which only shows that the Yankees' aircraft had an absolute advantage in performance.
Shima Katsuzo had a premonition that as American pilots gain more experience, they will be strong opponents of Japanese pilots in the future.
In the distance, a US military fighter jet flew in. Shima Katsuzo once again flew the fighter jet towards the US military fighter jet...
The fierce battle over Oahu continues. Because there are too many fighter planes on both sides and the space above Oahu is limited, the scope of the air battle continues to expand. The Japanese side is better because of its better pilot skills, while the American side has studied and understood zero. Based on the advantages and disadvantages of the aircraft, corresponding tactics have been formulated, and the aircraft performance advantages are also there. Therefore, both sides are evenly matched and no one can take advantage.
Shima Katsuzo has shot down seven U.S. fighter jets in a row, including the fighter plane of U.S. ace pilot George Welch. However, as time goes by, the numerical disadvantage of Japanese fighter planes is increasingly highlighted.
At this moment, Japan's second batch of fighter jets and bombers flew in. Shima Katsuzo was very excited. Reinforcements had arrived. This time his side would definitely win the largest air battle in human history.
However, Shima Shengzo was not happy for long, because he discovered that American reinforcements had also arrived. What was even more frightening was that most of the American reinforcements this time were the latest "Mustang" fighter jets developed by the United States.
In the previous battle, Shima Shengzo fully experienced the power of the new American fighter jets. He knew that with the overwhelming advantage of American aircraft in quantity and quality, his own aircraft would inevitably be severely damaged.
Shima Katsuzo immediately reported the situation to the command system on the warship through the airborne communication equipment. However, the Japanese commander obviously did not realize the danger. He just thought that Shima Katsuzo was exaggerating the enemy's situation and did not respond to Shima Katsuzo's request to retreat. Ignore it.
Shima Shengzo fell into despair. He knew that a major defeat was inevitable. All he could do was to fight as hard as he could and shoot down more American fighter jets.
"Onboard!"
Shima Shengzo roared and drove the fighter jet towards the US military fleet...
Nearly three hundred of the latest American "Mustang" fighter jets joined the battle and changed the situation of the entire Wade Island air battle. U.S. pilots relied on the excellent performance of the aircraft and began to gain the upper hand in the air battle. Japanese fighter jets were shot down one after another. The wreckage of the Zero fighter planes fell, and within half an hour, dozens of Zero fighters were shot down.
The Japanese commander had no choice but to order all Japanese fighter jets to return home. As the fighter jets returned, the Japanese's bulky dive bombers and torpedo bombers became the targets of massacre by U.S. fighter jets due to their slow speed. As the U.S. fighter jets chased them, one after another Japanese bombers were shot down and very few escaped.
The largest air battle in human history ended with the victory of the US military. In this air battle, the US military lost nearly a hundred fighter jets. However, due to the strong protection of US military aircraft and the fact that they were fighting on local soil, most of the pilots parachuted successfully. These U.S. pilots with combat experience took to the skies again soon after, becoming a nightmare for the Japanese aviation forces.
