Gao Ziheng, captain of the Fourth Battalion of the Chinese Air Force, is piloting a Hawker 3-1 fighter jet, waiting for his prey like a hunter in the clouds. Next to him are three other Hawker 3 fighter jets, all of which belong to the same fighter squadron.

The Hawker-3 fighter is a modification of the naval fighter produced by the Hawker Curtis Company in the 1930s. It was originally named FⅡC-3/BF2C-1;

This type of fighter has distinctive features such as unique wings, a large engine hood, and landing gear that can be retracted on both sides of the fuselage. The export version of the Hawker-3 fighter is code-named "Eagle" III.

The fuselage length is 7.7 meters, the cruising range is 1,278 kilometers, and it has been in service for 34 years. It is the latest main battle aircraft of Yingjiang. It is equipped with a 12.7 mm caliber machine gun and a 7.62 mm caliber machine gun. In addition, it can also mount a 227 kg or 4 53kg bombs.

They had been keeping an eye on this group of Japs for a long time. Soon after the Japs' plane took off from the aircraft carrier, Chinese intelligence personnel obtained their intelligence and reported it to the theater commander's office;

Seeing that the Japanese bombers were so arrogant that they did not even send fighter escorts, the theater commander decided to send a squadron of fighter jets to give the Japanese a long memory;

When Lieutenant Miura, the co-pilot of the Japanese 9514, discovered the presence of the Chinese Air Force, the 21st Squadron of the Fourth Battalion was ready to attack. Captain Gao Ziheng excitedly ordered:

“Guys, it’s time to catch the chick!”

After saying that, he pounced on the enemy's fleet like an eagle catching a chicken. Now it was the enemy's turn to be extremely happy and sad!

Captain Arai just got excited and almost fired up all the spare bullets for the aerial bomb machine gun, and the others were not much better;

Bombers were already at a disadvantage against fighters, and now even the machine gun bullets were severely lacking. This air battle lost its suspense from the beginning and turned into a chicken-catching feast for Gao Ziheng and others.

The Japanese pilots were also powerful. They rushed towards the Chinese fighter jets in their bombers, 12 against 4, trying to win with numbers.

Gao Ziheng used a mechanical sight to snare a Japanese aircraft and opened fire decisively. A long string of large-caliber machine gun bullets struck the Japanese aircraft like a huge fire sickle;

The Japanese plane had no time to dodge, and was hit by more than a dozen bullets. One of them even luckily hit the engine, blowing up the Japanese plane in the air.

In just one round, two Japs were shot down and one was wounded. Only then did they realize the reality. There was still a big gap in air combat capabilities between bombers and fighters. Besides, they didn't have many bullets anymore.

Captain Arai was the first to react and the first to run away;

"You want to run away, have you asked your grandpa Gao if he agrees?"

After the "September 18th", tens of millions of people outside the customs became slaves of the country. Gao Ziheng, who came from Fengtian outside the customs, dreamed of destroying the Japanese;

In the "8.14" air battle, he shot down one Japanese Type 96 land attack aircraft and damaged another. This time he shot down another one. He was in high spirits. The Japanese wanted to run away, so they naturally asked him if he agreed.

The maximum speed of the planes on both sides was almost the same. As soon as Arai escaped, he was targeted by Gao Ziheng. Both sides chased each other, but Arai was unable to get rid of Gao Ziheng;

Because Arai's plane had to constantly evade bullets while escaping, this greatly affected his speed. As time went by, he was caught up by Gao Ziheng.

Captain Arai was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat. He kept making evasive maneuvers and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom. However, the Chinese aircraft behind him was still following closely. He tried to get rid of it several times without success. He seemed to feel the direction of Amaterasu. He waved...

"You little devil, go to hell!"

Gao Ziheng calculated the lead time this time and opened fire when aiming at the Japanese plane. The bullet accurately hit the 9514 piloted by Arai;

Thick smoke began to emit from the wing of the Japanese plane, and the co-pilot, Lieutenant Miura, was so frightened that he stammered:

"Arai-kun, we were hit by China. It's impossible to fly back safely. Let's parachute!"

Arai was already irritable, but after hearing what Miura said, he became even more angry and said angrily:

"Baga Yalu, your job is not that of a warrior. The opportunity lies with the people. You have to fight like a warrior."

After Arai's plane was hit, its speed dropped visibly. Lieutenant Miura could no longer control Captain Arai and resolutely chose to parachute. This is the right of a noble air warrior.

An umbrella flower opened in the air, which made Captain Arai very angry. He immediately flew the plane into Miura's parachute, which scared Miura's soul and flew out...

"Ta-ta-ta-ta..."

Another long string of bullets flew from the nose of the Chinese plane, blowing up Arai's plane;

The explosive fragments produced by the explosion split Lieutenant Miura's parachute. Miura immediately started a free fall experience and fell into meat patties.

Just after Gao Ziheng shot down 9514, the air battle came to an end. Five of the 12 Japanese aircraft were shot down and three were damaged;

Everyone in the 21st Squadron took action, especially Gao Ziheng, who shot down two planes alone. Together with the 4 shot down before, he became a veritable ace pilot.

The Japanese bombing of the independent camp this time was a waste of money. Lieutenant General Hasegawa Kiyoshi of the Navy hated the Army Malu to death and was no longer willing to send planes to bomb a small independent camp.

This independent camp is poisonous. A routine bombing caused the Navy to lose 8 aircraft. Hasegawa Kiyoshi, who was in pain, greeted all the female elders of the Army Red Deer, even the ninety-year-old ones were not spared.

His arsenic is my honey. The Japs were so angry that they vomited blood, but the Chinese people clapped their hands and praised them, especially the guard posts of the Independent Battalion. They had witnessed the glory of the Chinese Air Force almost the whole time, and they would cheer for every time a Japs fighter plane was shot down. It’s so exciting to watch the live broadcast of fighting against Japanese invaders in future generations!

Their cheers ushered in the Japanese's revenge, which almost made them extremely happy and sad;

The Japanese artillery shells came overwhelmingly. After the bombing in the air, sea and ground firepower began to ravage the independent battalion's position again. The little Japanese's retribution and narrow-mindedness were indeed well-deserved.

This time the Japanese bombed for more than an hour, hoping to raze Liujiapo to the ground. The Japanese had never done such a heavy blow to a battalion-level unit;

Under the attack of the Japanese regardless of the cost, the surface positions of the Independent Battalion were almost plowed. If you grab it casually from the mud, you can pick up a few shrapnel...

"Yo Xi, this is the power of the imperial army to destroy the world. Even the real German army will not be able to withstand it, let alone a fake German weapons battalion. There are probably not many people left on the position."

Colonel Adachi, the captain of the 12th Regiment, said very arrogantly, even though he said that he attached great importance to the independent battalion, but he only said that to the division commander, in order to take the credit already;

He didn't think that a Chinese battalion could stop the 12th Regiment's all-out attack. If it were the 88th Division, it would be the 262nd Brigade at the worst.

The first battalion captain, Major Yagi, also said very disapprovingly:

"The combat effectiveness of the 44th Regiment is still far behind that of the 12th Regiment. The reason why they suffered Luo Ying's losses is that they over-distributed their forces and committed the taboo of fueling tactics."

Colonel Anda nodded in agreement and said:

"Yagi-kun, now that we know the reason for the failure of the 44th Regiment, our 12th Regiment cannot make the same mistake, and Liu Jiapo will be handed over to your First Battalion;

Use heavy punches to win in one go! "
