Guilin Airport.
The clouds were low over the airport.
All the fighter jets and bombers in action were fully fueled, loaded with bombs, and slowly entered the airport runway.
The first to take off against the western sun was a series of six light bombers. They climbed over the airport and did not leave, but circled around.
Then another 10 Iraqi fighter jets took off in succession. After taking off, these fighter jets pulled up and circled in all directions. Just when the airport personnel were also dazzled, four more SB-2 bombers took off at the same time to form a dense formation, and then joined more than a dozen others. The fighter-bombers were pulled up into the air at a large angle, forming a huge fleet.
Except for the personnel at Guilin Airport, no one noticed that just when the last four SB-2 bombers took off at the same time, a Spitfire fighter almost took off close to the back of the four SB-2 bombers. Standing three or four meters apart, the ground staff watching were frightened and their palms were all sweating.
It wasn't until all the fighter planes took off safely that all the airport personnel felt relieved: This is the super ace!
When the last five fighter planes took off, the dozen or so fighter planes that had taken off before gathered around them just in time, blocking the topmost Spitfire from being discovered by the Japanese spies on the ground, and pulled them up into the clouds together.
After entering the clouds, the Spitfire climbed almost vertically to an altitude of 10,000 meters, completely avoiding the detection of enemy agents on the ground. Then it reached the cold pressure pole and flew towards Nanning Airport at high speed according to the instructions of the transparent helmet to detect the enemy. According to the movement, 20 fighter-bombers emerged from the clouds and flew towards Kunlun Pass. Their first task tonight was to kill the lingering Masao Nakamura.
As long as Masao Nakamura is killed, the morale of the 42nd Regiment will be low, and it will also affect the Miki Regiment.
According to Zhou Zhihan's order, these 20 fighter-bombers flew to Kunlun Pass at the slowest speed, with some changes on the way. After arriving at Kunlun Pass, they attacked the 42nd Wing with all their strength.
The battlefield in China was very different from the air battles between Britain and Germany over Dunkirk and London.
Dunkirk and the United Kingdom are both small in size, and both Britain and Germany can use radar to detect the takeoff and landing of each other's fighter jets.
China has a vast territory and rich resources. At present, China and Japan mainly rely on their respective secret ground personnel to discover each other's fighter jets.
Since the first Fengtian Incident, the Japanese have cultivated a large number of traitors and imperial associates in China. These scum of the nation have acted as the lackeys of the Japanese. They are willing to be the hawks and dogs of the Japanese on various frontal battlefields and the battlefields behind them, fighting against the Chinese Communist Party. The team is the enemy. Otherwise, relying solely on the number of Japanese Japs, it would be impossible to get news extending in all directions in China.
The clothing, food, housing, transportation, words and deeds of these national scum are no different from ordinary people. They use their natural advantages to better discover the deployment and movements of the squadron, especially around China's major combat airports. There are always countless scum acting as The Japanese's eyes and ears made it difficult for the Chinese Air Force to guard against it. Often the Japanese would immediately know about the fighter-bombers as soon as they took off and send planes to intercept them.
For now, Zhou Zhihan is trying his best not to let the Japanese know that China has Spitfire fighter jets. He can hide it for a while, which will be more conducive to taking advantage of the enemy's surprise and attacking the enemy unprepared.
The Spitfire entered an altitude of 10,000 meters and clearly felt a lack of power. About 50 kilometers after leaving Guilin Airport, Zhou Zhihan pushed the stick and the Spitfire dropped to an altitude of 7,000 meters and flew towards Nanning Airport at the fastest speed.
Half an hour later, the Spitfire arrived at a position 50 kilometers north of Nanning. Zhou Zhihan once again pulled up and entered the air of 10,000 meters to avoid the Japanese hidden whistle on the ground.
Currently, over the battlefield in China, neither Chinese nor Japanese fighter jets can reach an altitude of 10,000 meters, so Zhou Zhihan used the Spitfire's ceiling to scout the Japanese Nanning Airport at high altitude.
It was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was completely in the west. Zhou Zhihan flew the Spitfire to the west of Nanning Airport, preparing to scout the airport with his back to the sun.
Suddenly, he discovered from his flying helmet that 40 kilometers northwest of Nanning, there were more than a dozen Type 97 Land Attackers flying towards Kunlun Pass. A few kilometers further ahead, there were 8 Type 96 Land Attackers and 2 Type 95 Land Attackers. water reconnaissance aircraft.
Obviously, the Japanese received a message from a spy hiding near Guilin Airport and learned that the Chinese fighter-bomber group was heading to Kunlun Pass, so while they took off fighter planes to intercept, they sent bombers to attack the Chinese positions, and transport planes continued to deliver to the Miki Wing. supply.
Zhou Zhihan let out a sigh of relief, and the Japanese were indeed fooled.
Watching the Japanese fighter-bombers disappear into the distance, the Spitfire continued to fly towards Nanning Airport at high altitude with its back to the sun, facing the cold pressure.
Still 20 kilometers away from Nanning Airport, the Spitfire stalled, glided silently at high altitude, and accurately entered the clouds when it was about to reach the sky above Nanning Airport.
The clouds over Nanning today are very high, about 5,000 meters. As dusk approaches, the mist in the clouds crystallizes slightly, in the shape of microfibers, and is thin and quite transparent. Looking down, you can see all the way to the ground. Fighters are hidden in the clouds. Inside, people on the ground are absolutely invisible.
The little devils on the ground at the airport never dreamed that there was a Chinese fighter jet above their heads, watching their every move.
Zhou Zhihan took out his telescope and looked at the airport.
Nanning Airport was once an important airport for the Chinese Air Force. Later, after the fall of Nanning, the airport was occupied by Japanese Army Airlines. It formed two fists with Hainan Airlines in Qinzhou Bay, always threatening the Chinese troops at Kunlun Pass. This is why the Chinese troops were stationed at Kunlun Pass. The fundamental reason why we cannot win a bloody battle.
Zhou Zhihan looked down from the air and saw that the area of Nanning Airport had almost doubled due to the Japanese expansion, and could accommodate the takeoff and landing of two fighter squadrons at the same time.
There are camouflage woods planted around the airport, and fighter planes can be parked in the woods.
There are four Type 97 land combat aircraft parked on the airport runway, ready to take off immediately in case of emergency.
There are more than a dozen little devils walking side by side on the runway to clean up the debris on the runway.
In a corner of the airport, there are more than a dozen hidden hangars that have not yet been closed. They should be the parking places for the Type 96 Land Attack that just took off.
Two refueling trucks were parked at the ends of both sides of the runway to refuel several transport planes. Several aircrew were carrying ladders, apparently waiting for the planes to leave after refueling. The area here is huge, and the departure of these planes may be to make room for the fighter planes that are about to transfer from elsewhere.
Zhou Zhihan looked around the perimeter of the airport. There were watchtowers built at the four corners of the airport. There were little devils walking back and forth on the towers, holding telescopes to look at the surrounding sky.
There was no anti-aircraft firepower deployed in the airport, but on the periphery of the airport, Zhou Zhihan found many concealed anti-aircraft weapons, which occasionally glowed coldly in the grass, showing that they were very powerful.
After circling in the air, Zhou Zhihan roughly calculated based on the area of the airport that the Japanese reinforcement fighter-bombers arriving from other places should be temporarily parked on both sides of the open-air airport runway after arriving at Nanning Airport.
Zhou Zhihan circled in the clouds again, and finally he found the Japanese airport gas tank.
After all the investigations were completed, Zhou Zhihan piloted the Spitfire and glided eastward quietly in the clouds. After he was out of the reconnaissance range of the Japanese soldiers at the airport, the Spitfire started the engine, pulled into high altitude, bypassed the airport, turned on the acceleration, and flew straight to the sky. Attack Kunlun Pass.
