In the middle of World War II, the I-15 and I-16 that the Soviet Union assisted China could barely compete with the Type 96 naval battle when they first entered China. However, with the continuous improvement of the Type 96 naval battle, the above two Soviet fighters have completely fallen behind.
Not to mention the zero war that followed on the battlefield in China.
Due to the uncertainty about the advanced performance of the new Japanese aircraft, the Chinese Air Force Headquarters ordered to take temporary evasive measures if encountering such a fighter aircraft and not to engage in air combat with it. This is because since the Soviet volunteers withdrew from China, the Soviet Union's assistance to Chinese fighter aircraft has also increased significantly. Reduced, China's current tactics are still based on bombers driving away the Japanese.
Therefore, the Chinese fighter force still follows the previous methods to deal with Japanese aircraft. When encountering Japanese bombers without escort, they will be surrounded by all. When encountering Japanese fighter jets, especially single-engine fighters, they will avoid them. Even in encounters, they must abide by Colonel Zhou Zhihan's advice. Hit a dive and then retreat immediately.
The Japanese quickly figured out the tactics of the Chinese Air Force and formulated a countermeasure, which was to force China to fight. That is, every time a bomber dropped a bomb, the escort fighter planes would not appear. As long as the Chinese fighter planes took off to intercept, the escort fighters would immediately appear to surround them. If Chinese fighter jets retreat, Japanese bombers will launch successive attacks on a certain area one after another.
Under the attack of Japanese bombers, the ground troops and ordinary people, who did not know that the Chinese Air Force was almost in a situation where they had nothing to eat because of the military's secrecy, complained against the Air Force, which dealt a heavy blow to the pilots.
The reason why the Air Force keeps its strength secret is because once the Japanese know that the Chinese Air Force is almost at the end of its rope, the morale of the Chinese anti-Japanese soldiers and civilians will be dampened, and the Japanese will become more arrogant and unscrupulous.
Faced with the Japanese carpet bombing and the unexplained insults from the Chinese people, the pilots who had been avoiding their attacks could no longer sit still and asked for a fight.
After many operational meetings, the top brass of the Chinese Air Force reluctantly decided that since a decisive air battle between China and Japan was inevitable, they would simply concentrate all their forces and use large fighter groups to deal with the Japanese challenge.
After making this decision, the 4th Brigade, which was originally stationed at Chongqing Baishiyi Airport, was stationed at Chengdu Taipingsi Airport, and formed together with the 3rd Group and 5th Group, which were originally stationed there, to assemble the entire Chinese Air Force fighter force to fight against the unknown new type of fighter jets. Japanese fighter.
However, it was this decision that the Air Force Headquarters was forced to make amidst the scolding, which brought a catastrophic blow to the main force of the Chinese Air Force...
…
Mr. Horton specially asked the freighter to arrive in Hong Kong at night. He was familiar with the masters at the dock. In addition, with Liu Xianfu and Zhuo Zehua taking care of them, Zhou Zhihan smoothly removed Messerschmitt from the deck of the freighter. Drive to a dock on land.
Zhou Zhihan needs to drive the Messerschmitt first, Karen and Liu pay first, and Zhuo Zehua and the others go together.
In addition, the Air Force specially sent people to Hong Kong secretly because there were Messerschmitt ammunition on board. These ammunition were collected from Messerschmitt drop points across the UK and needed to be transported back to the country through various channels.
This morning, the Chinese Guangdong Fighter Force received a call from Mao Bangchu, the former commander-in-chief of the Air Force, saying that a German Messerschmitt fighter jet would land at the airport to refuel. This plane would have a blue sky and white sun flag hanging on it as one of its own. After marking, refueling and maintaining it, immediately refit the fighter jet.
noon.
Chengdu Taipingsi Airport.
Air Force Commander-in-Chief Zhou Zhirou and others had been waiting for a long time. They had received a telegram from Guangdong Airport that Colonel Zhou Zhihan had set off for Chongqing.
The commander of the Guangdong Combat Airport told Zhou Zhirou very excitedly that the speed of the fighter jet driven by Major Zhou was staggering when climbing. With this fighter jet, we can give a good scare to the little Japanese sons of bitches.
As soon as Zhou Zhihan set off, the Air Force Ministry issued an order to the "pre-movement warning network". As long as they saw a fighter jet they had never seen before with a blue sky and white sun painted on the fuselage passing over the "pre-movement warning points", they would not A warning is needed to avoid causing unnecessary panic to the masses.
At this time, China and even Japan did not have advanced air defense equipment such as radar. In order to prevent Japanese bombing, the Chinese Air Force gradually explored experience and established an air defense surveillance outpost system based on manpower and telephone, telegraph and other communications, using commanding heights everywhere. Observing the movements of Japanese aircraft, although this indigenous method consumes a lot of manpower, it is extremely effective for China, which was lagging behind at this time.
The route for Japanese planes to attack Chongqing was fixed at the time. The Japanese planes usually took off from Hankou Airport and headed west along the Yangtze River. When they passed the Yichang front line, the surveillance systems in Chongqing and Chengdu would provide advance warning.
There are three levels of alert: air raid alert, emergency alert, and all clear.
After the Chongqing tunnel tragedy, the government was afraid that temporary evacuation would not be effective, so it set up a huge "early warning network". This method is to erect high poles at high places.
Generally speaking, as long as Japanese bombers fly over Yichang, they must come to bomb. Therefore, a big black ball is erected on the head of each height to indicate that the Japanese bombers are heading to Chongqing or Chengdu. At night, a big black ball will be hung. The red headlight ball has achieved an eye-catching effect.
When people see the hanging balls, they start to be wary. Stores close, students go home after school, workers leave factories, and farmers leave their fields.
If a Japanese plane flies over Wushan, it will hang two balls, and if it flies over Wanxian, it will hang three balls, which means that the little devil will leave the Yangtze River landmark here and continue to fly west, and the air raid warning in Chongqing and Chengdu can be lifted.
If the Japanese fleet turns south near Nanchong and flies straight to Chongqing using the Jialing River as a landmark, Chongqing will sound an air raid siren with a short siren sound that will sound intermittently for three minutes. At that time, as long as people hear this siren, they will feel terrified. As if a disaster is imminent, I put down everything in my hands and quickly find a place to hide.
Later, the Japanese came up with a trick. After they bombed, they flew back to Hankou along the Yangtze River, turned around and headed east. When the air defense alarm was lifted, they suddenly turned around and killed the people who had been bombed. Immediately, those who had been bombed were turned upside down and suffered heavy losses.
Therefore, various pre-alert warning points found out that as long as the Japanese planes flew over Zhongxian, they would not turn back because they did not have enough fuel, so Chongqing dared to sound the all-clear sound at this time.
Today, Zhou Zhihan flew very low in order to let the various warning points recognize the aircraft and avoid misjudgments in the future.
In times of war, a miscalculation sometimes has a small impact, and sometimes it pays a heavy price.
"too fast!"
This is the first thing every warning point says when they see this Messerschmitt.
"This is the fastest fighter I have ever seen in my life so far."
"This is our fighter jet. It's enough for the little devil to drink from."
"This fighter jet is really fast. I bet it has a speed of at least 560 or 70 kilometers."
"I think its speed is over 600 kilometers..."
"That's great. That's enough for the little devil to drink from. Damn it, it's so fucking unpleasant to see those little devils flamboyantly flying around above our heads every day."
"That's right! Every time I see the lousy little Japan flying over, I think, I don't know what happens to the people here... Oh, I feel so aggrieved and panicked every time. Last time in Chongqing The bombing, so many people died, my heart is like a knife... Sigh..."
"Turtle son's doggy little devil... Every time I see the doggy little Japanese, Laozi hates that he doesn't have a pair of wings, otherwise he would hit his head when flying up into the sky, and Laozi would also knock the little devil down..."
"It's the same. Every time I see these crazy things flying overhead, I hate myself for not having the skills of Sun Monkey... I'm a turtle son, a little devil with enough sunshine..."
"..."
"..."
…
Arriving above the Taiping Temple in Chengdu, Zhou Zhihan circled the airport several times to ensure that there were no enemies within a radius of dozens of kilometers before slowly descending.
