Chapter 307 F-35B defeats Japanese air formation
After dealing with the thorny sniper hiding on the mountainside, Lei Tao didn't bother to stop and ran towards a relatively flat and open space in his sight. At this time, the smoke around him had not yet cleared. The city was in ruins under the ravages of Japanese bombers. The sound of collapsing buildings could be heard faintly among the broken walls, but none of this could stop him.
Lei Tao struggled through the ruins, dodging collapsed buildings and burning debris with every step. Explosions and screams echoed in his ears, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and burning. His face was covered in dust and sweat, and his clothes were torn in several places, but his eyes were resolute, with only one thought in mind: get to an open area as quickly as possible, launch his fighter planes, and teach the Japanese a lesson.
Finally, Lei Tao reached the clearing. Without even taking a breath, he immediately released from his Bagua Gyrosphere the F-35B fighter jet he'd captured during the modern raid on the Japanese mercenary base. The fighter jet gleamed with a cool metallic sheen in the sunlight, its streamlined fuselage exuding a powerful intimidation.
Lei Tao then deftly donned his pressure-resistant flight suit, his movements quick and deft. He then boarded the fighter and sat in the cockpit. The familiar instrument panel and joystick gave him a sense of reassurance. He took a deep breath, calmed his nerves, and started the fighter.
With a deep and powerful roar, the fighter's engine ignited, and a powerful airflow blew out from the tail nozzle, blowing up the dust on the ground. Lei Tao gripped the joystick tightly, his eyes fixed on the front. As the fighter slowly took off vertically, his vision gradually widened.
On the ground, Xu Keming and the other agents emerged from the air-raid shelter, watching the scene in shock. Meng Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim, "What...what is this? Is this a fighter jet? Where on earth did this advanced fighter come from? And who brought it?" Her eyes widened in disbelief. In this era of war and scarcity, the sight of an F-35B fighter jet with a sci-fi design and a cold metallic gleam was truly beyond everyone's imagination.
By this time, Lei Tao had already climbed his fighter plane to a certain altitude, overlooking the war-torn city below, a complex wave of emotions welling up within him. Although the Japanese bombers had departed, the pain felt in this land was indelible. He knew that the fighter plane in his hands might be the key to turning the tide. His gaze locked onto the direction of the retreating Japanese bomber formation on the radar screen, and without hesitation, he pushed the throttle, sending his fighter plane hurtling towards him like an arrow.
The F-35B's powerful engine roared sharply, its high-speed fuselage tearing through the surrounding air, leaving trails of white air. Lei Tao stared intently ahead, his eyes revealing determination and resolve, completely throwing himself into the aerial pursuit. He constantly adjusted his flight attitude, utilizing the fighter's advanced avionics system to rapidly close in on the Japanese bomber formation.
Just as Lei Tao was about to catch up with the Japanese bomber formation, several rapidly moving blips suddenly appeared on the radar screen. He was startled, and upon closer inspection, he saw several Japanese Zero fighters flanking him. These Zeros, once renowned for their maneuverability during World War II, were now in battle formation, closing in aggressively on Lei Tao's F-35B.
"You've come at the right time. Let me show you how powerful modern fighter jets are!" Lei Tao's mouth curled up slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement and anticipation. He then quickly pressed the button to turn on the fighter's electronic jamming system, attempting to disrupt the Zero fighter's communications and instruments.
The pilots of the Zero fighters found that there was a noisy electric sound coming from their communication channel, and the F-35B fighters in the sights became blurred, and they suddenly panicked.
"What kind of plane is this? Our communications and aiming have failed!" a Japanese pilot shouted in horror, his voice full of anxiety.
"Don't panic, keep forming, with the mobility of our Zero, we will definitely find an opportunity!" The Japanese squad leader gave orders with forced calmness, but his trembling voice still revealed his inner fear.
The Zero fighters, with their small size and agility, dispersed and attacked Lei Tao's fighter from different directions. Lei Tao piloted the F-35B fighter and rolled flexibly in the air, cleverly avoiding the attacks and finding the right time to counterattack.
Suddenly, two Zero fighters, one on the left and one on the right, swooped down on Lei Tao. Lei Tao's eyes flashed, and a bold tactical plan flashed through his mind: the Immelmann maneuver. He decisively pushed the joystick, and the fighter quickly climbed. The powerful overload pressed his body tightly against the seat.
The F-35B fighter jet rushed upward at a nearly vertical angle, gradually slowing down until it reached its apex and almost hovered in the air. Just as the Zero fighter pilots were surprised by Lei Tao's strange behavior, Lei Tao suddenly pushed the joystick to the right and stepped on the rudder at the same time, and the fighter jet completed a 180-degree flip in the air.
This series of actions was completed in one go. The F-35B fighter jet instantly changed from its original upward climbing posture to a downward dive, appearing just behind the two Zero fighters.
"How is this possible!" the Japanese pilots cried out in horror.
A sneer curled up Lei Tao's lips, and he pressed the cannon button without hesitation. "Da da da!" A dense barrage of shells rained down on the two Zero fighters. One of them couldn't dodge in time, and its wing was hit by a shell, instantly breaking off, sending the plane spinning towards the ground. The other was also hit in the fuselage, billowing black smoke. The pilot could only barely control the aircraft and tried to escape the battlefield.
Seeing this, the other Zero fighters rushed towards Lei Tao even more frantically. Lei Tao used his beyond-visual-range combat capability to launch an air-to-air missile from a long distance.
"Look, what is that? A flaming shell?" A Japanese pilot pointed at the rapidly approaching missile in horror, his voice changing in tone.
"Oh no, it's going to collide! Maneuver quickly to avoid it!" The team leader yelled at the top of his lungs, frantically operating the plane with both hands, trying to escape this deadly threat.
The Zero fighters desperately performed various difficult maneuvers, trying to dodge the missile. However, this missile seemed to have eyes.
"No... Damn it, how could this shell turn!" A Japanese pilot looked at the missile chasing him in despair and slowly closed his eyes. Then, a violent explosion sounded in the air, and the Zero fighter was instantly engulfed in flames.
"It's over, this is no opponent we can fight against!" another Japanese pilot cried out in tears.
"No, we can't retreat. The glory of the Empire of Japan cannot be destroyed here!" The team leader roared, but his voice was powerless.
Lei Tao suddenly accelerated his fighter plane, rushed towards the group of Zero fighters, and then suddenly pulled up the nose to climb vertically. The Zero fighter tried to keep up, but because its climbing performance was far inferior to that of the F-35B, it could only watch Lei Tao fly higher and higher.
Lei Tao adjusted his posture at high altitude and dived down again, launching a fierce attack on the Zero fighters. Two more Zero fighters were hit and lost their combat effectiveness.
"I don't want to die, I want to go home..." A wounded Japanese pilot muttered to himself weakly.
Seeing the situation was not good, the remaining Zero fighters gave up fighting and fled into the distance. Lei Tao looked at the fleeing enemy planes and did not pursue them. He continued to fly his fighter plane in the direction of the retreating Japanese bomber formation...
