The Mysterious Soldier of the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 315: Sky Kill: Crazy Counterattack of Doomsday Fighter

Seizing this opportunity, Aoki Yusuke flew his fighter jet rapidly around Lei Tao's flank, strafing the F-35B with his machine guns. A barrage of bullets grazed the F-35B's fuselage, emitting a sharp whistling sound. Lei Tao's eyes froze, and he immediately pressed the electronic jamming button. The powerful jamming wave instantly scrambled Aoki Yusuke's fighter's communications, causing the aircraft's instruments to malfunction and spin wildly.

Aoki Yusuke stared in horror at the frantic flashing lights on the fighter's instrument panel. His hands began to tremble uncontrollably, and cold sweat poured from his forehead, nearly blurring his vision. He desperately tried to stabilize the fighter, his fingers fumbling frantically on the control stick, muttering, "How could this happen? Calm down, calm down..." But all his efforts were in vain, and the fighter continued to spin wildly and uncontrollably.

"Yusuke, hold on! I'm coming to save you!" Sakamoto Shunpei shouted, his heart pounding as he flew his fighter jet towards Aoki. But before he could get close, Lei Tao, swiftly turning in his F-35B like a nimble cheetah, instantly blocked Sakamoto Shunpei's plane. A look of determination and confidence lingered in Lei Tao's eyes, as if telling Sakamoto Shunpei that his rescue attempt was doomed to fail.

"Want to save people? Get past me first!" Lei Tao's eyes were firm, his tone icy, as his fingers quickly pressed a series of commands on the control panel. Under the wing of the F-35B, the missile launch bay slowly opened, a missile poised for launch. Sakamoto Hayabusa's face suddenly changed. He knew he couldn't retreat at this moment, or Aoki Yusuke would surely die. He gritted his teeth and yanked the joystick, sending the fighter performing an Immelmann roll. The fighter first climbed vertically, then performed a half-roll near the apex, then nose-down, successfully avoiding the missile's attack through this vertical maneuver.

At the moment when Sakamoto Shunpei dodged, Lei Tao quickly adjusted his strategy, giving up firing missiles and pressing the cannon fire button instead. The cannon roared, and dense shells poured down on Sakamoto Shunpei like a rainstorm. Sakamoto Shunpei dodged left and right, and the fuselage continued to make thrilling maneuvers, trying to avoid the attack of the shells. However, a shell still grazed the wing of his fighter plane, and the wing instantly billowed with black smoke.

"Damn it!" Sakamoto Hayabusa roared angrily, his eyes filled with resentment and despair. But he still didn't give up. He adjusted the direction of the fighter and rushed towards Lei Tao again, trying to engage Lei Tao in close combat to buy more time for Aoki Yusuke.

At this time, Aoki Yusuke's fighter plane finally stopped spinning wildly, but due to instrument failure, he had completely lost control of the plane and could only let the fighter plane slowly fall in the air. He looked at the ground getting closer and closer in despair, his heart filled with fear and regret.

"I can't die here..." Aoki Yusuke closed his eyes, silently praying for a miracle. Just when he was about to give up, Lei Tao, in his fighter plane, led Sakamoto Hayabusa in his fighter plane towards Aoki Yusuke. Just before the collision, he suddenly performed a Cobra maneuver. The nose of the F-35B fighter plane rose sharply, the fuselage almost perpendicular to the ground. The powerful overload pressed Lei Tao's body tightly against the seat, but his eyes remained firmly locked on the target. Sakamoto Hayabusa was unable to dodge and could only rush towards Aoki Yusuke's out-of-control fighter plane.

"No!" Sakamoto Shunpei yelled in terror. He frantically pulled the joystick, trying to change course, but it was too late. At the moment of collision, he suddenly turned sideways, and his wing brushed against Aoki Yusuke's fighter plane, making a teeth-grinding metal friction sound.

Aoki Yusuke's fighter was shaken violently by the impact, but it was also this collision that allowed his fighter to regain some momentum and slowly rise. Sakamoto Shunpei's fighter lost balance and spun in the air, the black smoke from the fuselage becoming thicker and thicker.

Lei Tao took advantage of the situation and circled behind Sakamoto Junpei, pressing the cannon fire button again. The cannon roared, and this time, Sakamoto Junpei was no longer able to dodge. The cannonball accurately hit his fighter's engine. With a loud bang, Sakamoto Junpei's fighter exploded in the air, turning into countless fragments that flew everywhere.

Aoki watched as Sakamoto Shunpei's fighter plane exploded before his eyes, the flames illuminating his tear-stained, terrified face. Rage, despair, and madness instantly consumed his remaining sanity. He gritted his teeth, let out a beast-like roar, and without hesitation, pushed the throttle to the limit. He piloted his battered fighter plane, desperately charging towards Lei Tao's F-35B, attempting to perish with him.

Lei Tao caught sight of Aoki's frantic actions in the rearview mirror. His eyes flashed, and his hands quickly moved on the joystick. He made the F-35B perform a sudden jump and reverse maneuver, first pulling the stick sharply to make the fighter climb vertically. After reaching a certain height, he quickly pressed the stick and rolled, making the fighter turn 180 degrees and dive down, avoiding Aoki's crazy collision by a hair's breadth.

But Aoki Yusuke did not give up. He suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane and rushed towards Lei Tao again, cursing: "You devil! I want revenge for Sakamoto!" His eyes were full of madness and determination, and he completely ignored the shaky state of his fighter plane.

Just as Aoki Yusuke was about to rush forward again, Lei Tao activated the optical camouflage system. In an instant, the F-35B seemed to blend into the blue sky and disappeared without a trace.

"Where's the fighter? Where are you?" Aoki Yusuke frantically turned his head, eyes wide open, searching the sky for Lei Tao through the fighter's protective cabin. However, all he saw was the endless blue sky and a few drifting white clouds. Lost his target, he circled the fighter plane in panic, his fear and anger growing stronger.

Just as Aoki was at a loss, Lei Tao, in an F-35B, circled behind him. Looking at the frantic, rambling fighter plane before him, Lei Tao wondered: Is this what the Japanese "Kamikaze" pilots of the later years looked like, desperately fighting? A wave of emotion welled up in his heart: the cruelty of war had driven these people mad, making them casualties.

Lei Tao took a deep breath, calmed himself, and slowly pressed the cannon fire button. In an instant, the cannon roared, and a shell, packed with powerful kinetic energy, flew out like a bullet, heading straight for Aoki Yusuke's fighter plane.

The shell hit the fighter's fuel tank with unerring precision. Almost the moment it touched the tank, it exploded violently. The dazzling flames quickly expanded, forming a huge fireball, and thick smoke rose up.

The force of the explosion instantly disintegrated the fighter's fuselage, sending its wings, tail, and other components flying in all directions. Metal fragments gleamed coldly in the sunlight, scattering everywhere. Aoki Yusuke's fighter plane shattered into countless fragments in mid-air, plummeting rapidly toward the ground.

After the battle, Lei Tao flew his fighter plane towards Chongqing.
