At Liangguang Airport, the air defense siren sounded, and the command center radar monitor transmitted news that a large number of enemy planes were coming from the direction of Johor;
A group of 80 Mustang fighters began to take off to meet the enemy. More than 70 bombers from the bomber regiment moved to Myitkyla Airport to take shelter, just in case.
The 127 fighter jets of the Second Group and the Third Group located at Mandalay Airport also began to take off after receiving the order from the detachment. This is the largest combat force that the expeditionary force air force can gather so far.
The first captain was none other than Ferreira. He looked at the densely packed group of Japanese planes flying over the sky. Not only was he not afraid, but he whistled excitedly, chewing gum on his lips, and ordered to the others:
"Guys, fuck those stupid devils to death!"
Ferreira led a large group of 80 Mustang fighter jets in a neat battle formation and rushed towards the Japanese fleet.
The Japanese prepared three waves. This time Juichi Terauchi almost overwhelmed most of the Southern Army's air power, with a total of more than 500 aircraft, including more than 360 fighter jets alone;
The first wave was the main force of the Japs, a total of 200 Falcon fighters, divided into four echelons, front, rear, left and right, like a huge diamond.
Ferreira didn't care at all that the Japanese were at a disadvantage several times greater than his own, and was still as excited as if he had seen a lot of eagle elements. This time, Yang Fan honestly acted as his wingman.
Ferreira opened fire first and hit a Falcon. The Mustang had an overwhelming advantage in performance over the Falcon;
The first team adopted the wolf pack tactic, with 6 fighter planes forming a wedge-shaped attack group, exactly three in length and three in command, and a three-in-one system in the air. This was Li Chenxi's first move.
Soon, nearly 300 aircraft from both sides were mixed together, chasing and attacking each other. Fighters were blown up one after another, and umbrella flowers floated in the sky.
The Expeditionary Force Army sent teams of capable teams to rescue their own pilots and capture Japanese pilots.
The battle in the air was very cruel, like a bayonet seeing red. Both sides were almost evenly matched, with each other suffering casualties;
The Mustang fighter not only crushes the Falcon in performance, but also beats them in combat capability.
Yang Fan's No. 137 fighter plane was hit by more than a dozen bullets on the fuselage, but he still ran rampant among the Japanese like a normal person. He had shot down 3 enemy planes, plus the previous 3, he had successfully joined the ranks of ace pilots. .
"Yang Fan, you must follow me closely, and you must play your role as a wingman. Why do you become so powerful as soon as the fight begins!"
"Instructor Fei, I'm sorry, I forgot! How about you continue to be the commander?"
Ferreira shook his head and said:
"I believe you, you kid can't figure out his identity as soon as the fight starts. Three o'clock! Fuck him to death!"
Yang Fan pulled the nose of the plane, made a big turn, and headed straight for the Japanese. Ferreira very consciously acted as his wingman again.
Dozens of kilometers away, 60 Mustangs from the Second Battalion were speeding towards the main battlefield. The team was led by Acting Captain Takano Jiro, a former ace pilot of the Army Air Force. Now he is an anti-war activist and has joined the Bolsheviks. , his current belief is to liberate the whole chicken and bury all militarism.
There are more than 30 pilots like him in the Expeditionary Force Flying Detachment. Under the strong political inspiration of the organization, they have all realized the dangers of militarism and have joined the anti-war team;
He serves as an instructor of the teaching team in peacetime and represents the Chinese Expeditionary Force in wartime. Takano Jiro was even appointed as the captain.
There is nothing that can be done about it. Chinese pilots are still rookies. Before they really grow up, these instructors are still the ones who play the leading role.
Li Chenxi deliberately created a competitive atmosphere between the instructors of Tiaobaji and Yingjiang, and the students of Huaxia could just take advantage of the two strengths.
The distance of dozens of kilometers only took about ten minutes for the Mustang fighter, which could reach a maximum speed of 700 kilometers per hour. Soon they arrived at the main battlefield and joined the battle.
The Chinese Air Force, supported by fresh troops, had a small climax in the cross-country battle. In a few minutes, it shot down more than 30 Japanese planes. Among them, Takano shot down two. His wingman Chen Tao also opened his arms. Sure enough, it was There are no weak soldiers under a strong general.
This situation did not last long. The Japanese's second wave of 110 fighter jets also arrived, and the two sides once again reached a stalemate.
After nearly an hour of fierce fighting, the Japanese launched 310 fighter jets, and 87 were shot down and damaged;
China invested a total of 140 Mustang fighter jets, of which 19 were shot down and 17 were damaged. All the damaged fighters returned safely to Mandalay Airport. 13 of the downed aircraft successfully parachuted, and most of them were rescued by ground troops. A total of 8 people died, 2 instructors and 6 students.
72 Japs were shot down and only 15 were damaged. The reason was that the Falcon fighter exploded instantly and was not as sturdy as the Mustang.
Less than half of the Japanese pilots successfully parachuted, and almost all of them were captured by the expeditionary force ground troops after landing.
A decisive battle in the area controlled by the Chinese army is Chu Xiong's favorite way. He just wanted to say:
"Old devil in the temple, please come more with big surprises like this!"
The two sides were evenly matched in the air and entered a war of attrition. As more and more Chinese rookies adapted to the battlefield, the Chinese Air Force began to slowly gain an advantage, and the exchange ratio gradually increased from 2:1 to 3:1;
Fighters on both sides were shot down like dumplings, and the largest space in the southern battlefield entered a white-hot state.
A few minutes later, 67 Mustang fighter jets from the Chinese Third Battalion came up again as reinforcements, once again breaking the balance of the battlefield. The Japanese fighter jets were shot down faster, and the balance of victory gradually tilted towards the Chinese Air Force.
The Japanese still have a huge wave of aircraft on their way, including 58 Zero fighters and more than 160 bombers. They are here to destroy all the airports in China, but unfortunately they made the wrong calculation;
China's main fighter force was not wiped out by the Japanese's huge numerical advantage, but suffered heavy losses;
Especially after the third Chinese fighter team joined, the battle became one-sided. The Japanese fighter planes were shot down one after another, and the bright sky became a graveyard for the Japanese fighter planes.
At this moment, the Japanese's third wave of more than 200 planes arrived;
Ferreira was a little worried when he saw that the Japanese had arrived with a large group of fighter planes. But when he saw that most of them were bombers delivering food, he whistled excitedly.
"Guys, the Japanese are bringing food, kill them!"
Hundreds of fighter planes from both sides were fighting together. This scale was absolutely unique in the Eastern battlefield.
Chu Xiong was also paying attention to this unprecedented air battle. He kept looking at the sky with the telescope in his hand. While watching, he said to Stevie:
"Old Shi, did you see that? The old devil Juichi Terauchi put all his belongings on the line, and I also put the last pair of underwear on it. What do you think we should do?"
"Chu, after the war I will mend some more pairs of underwear for you, and I will never leave your butt naked!"
"Okay, Lao Shi, I feel relieved with your words!
Someone, please inform Li Chenxi to send over 80 bombers from Mandalay and use the bombers to fight the Japanese fighter jets. I will not survive this time! "
