"No, the little devils are attacking Li Hang. Go and support him!"
Here, Li Guidan was flying a plane and saw Li Hang, who was surrounded by three Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets not far away, and shouted anxiously.
But in this case, he couldn't hear it at all. He could only take advantage of the air raid to temporarily escape the Japanese pursuit and make fierce gestures to signal his wingman to follow.
However, the Japanese plane obviously entangled him and did not give him a chance to leave.
However, Zheng Shaoyu and Ba Qingzheng's detachment, a total of two I-15s, took the lead in getting rid of the entanglement of the Japanese aircraft and headed towards Li Hang for reinforcements.
At this time, Li Hang was surprised when faced with the outflanking of three Japanese aircraft, but he did not panic.
Obviously, the Japanese army knew how powerful they were, so after discovering themselves, they directly gathered a small team to deal with them.
At this time, the Japanese army usually formed a formation of three aircraft, not the two-plane formation of one lead aircraft and one wingman as everyone knows.
Two-plane and four-plane formations will not be used on a large scale until 42 years later.
At this time, Li Hang was chasing a Japanese Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet, but there were two Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets chasing him behind him.
In addition, the pilot on the Japanese aircraft in front was also a master. Sometimes he would suddenly feint to the left or right, sometimes suddenly turn quickly, and even make vertical dives and steep climbs at ultra-low altitudes. It can be said that the tactics that the Japanese were best at were all used by others. Used it all over.
If there were not two Japanese planes chasing behind him, Li Hang might have shot down the Japanese plane in front of him.
However, the pilot of the Japanese aircraft in front of him was indeed a master. He was Captain Shioda Ryohei, one of the "Four Kings" of the Japanese Air Force, and belonged to the 12th Air Force of the Japanese Naval Air Force.
The other three are Major Miwa Hiroshi of Army Air Force, Captain Nango Shigesho, Captain Shioda Ryohei and Captain Yamashita Shichiro of Hainan Airlines.
Miwa Kuan was the first to die in September during the Sino-Japanese air battle in the Battle of Taiyuan; Shichiro Yamashita was captured during the forced landing in Suzhou after his plane was damaged during the Battle of Songhu, and is still in prison.
His Type 96 carrier-based fighter jet was also captured, but it was severely damaged. Coupled with the defeat in the Songhu Battle, it had no effect.
This time the Japanese Navy launched a retaliatory air strike, dispatching only two of the Four Heavenly Kings, namely Nango Shigeaki and Shiota Ryohei, who was entangled with Li Hang.
Just when Li Hang was entangled, the planes of Zheng Shaoyu and Ba Qingzheng suddenly arrived with reinforcements, directly destroying the plan of Shiota Ryohei and the others to flank Li Hang.
When the two enemy planes behind were entangled by friendly forces, Li Hang immediately seized the opportunity and opened fire on the Japanese fighter planes in front.
Shioda Ryohei was not good at playing tricks either, and tried his best to use the tactical maneuvers he was familiar with.
In the end, he still couldn't get rid of it. He could only use the ultimate trick, pretending that the engine was smoking, and then the plane lost control and spiraled downwards.
Li Hang wanted to give up the pursuit, but realizing that the little devil was cunning, he chased after him and made up for it.
"idiot!"
Seeing Li Hang attacking a plane that was "about to crash" so unethically, Shiota Ryohei cursed in the plane, but no matter how he cursed and controlled the plane, the plane was really shot down at this time. A controlled fall.
Li Hang quickly climbed up and came directly to the nearest battlefield. When he saw an I-15 being bitten by a Japanese aircraft, he rushed forward.
But he was still slow.
Before he arrived, the I-15 was hit. The fuel tank should have been hit. The plane burst into flames and then fell down.
"Little devil, I greet your whole family!"
Seeing that the friendly plane that rescued him was shot down, Li Hang was furious and chased the murderer. After being chased, he finally bit the opponent's butt and then opened fire decisively.
boom!
The little devil's plane also exploded immediately.
As the second plane exploded, the pilot of the third fighter plane of the Japanese squad panicked. Even Captain Shioda Ryohei's plane was shot down. Can he survive it?
When he saw the plane in front of him, he was not in the mood to continue pursuing it, so he straightened up the plane and started to escape.
Li Hang was a little surprised when he saw that the person who was reinforcing him was Zheng Shaoyu. When the two planes were flying in parallel, he greeted each other and then headed into the main battlefield together, where a fierce air battle was taking place.
At this time, there were only 13 aircraft in the sky from the Fourth Group of the Chinese Air Force, 8 from the China Aid Air Force, and 14 from the Japanese Army.
While Li Hang shot down two enemy planes alone, on the main battlefield, Chinese and Soviet pilots also shot down one Japanese plane each, but they also paid the price of losing a few.
It’s just not known whether those planes crashed or were damaged and left the battlefield.
21 to 14, still 1.5 to 1.
After a while, 19 fighter planes from the China Air Force that took off from Xiaogan Airport rushed to the battlefield, and a Japanese bomber group consisting of 12 Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets and 24 Type 96 land attack aircraft also arrived at the battlefield.
The 19 reinforcements of the China Aid Air Force flew directly into the battlefield and headed towards the Japanese bomber formation to prevent the Japanese bombers from bombing.
After Li Hang cooperated with Zheng Shaoyu to destroy an enemy plane, he also joined the battle to attack the Japanese bomber formation.
However, the Japanese bomber formation was escorted by 12 Type 96 carrier-based fighter jets, so it was not easy to break through the defense line.
. . . . . .
Bullets were flying in the sky, but many people on the ground didn't take it seriously and ran straight to the street to watch the excitement.
But there are also times when you are unlucky and get hit by stray bullets that come from nowhere.
Chen Lu was also very courageous. She had been hiding under the house to watch the air combat, but when she saw a fighter plane falling directly towards the Yangtze River, she rushed out.
"Miss, be careful!"
"What are you doing standing still? Follow quickly and protect the lady!"
Chen Lu didn't know what was going on. As she ran, she prayed, hoping that the falling plane was not Li Hang's.
He didn't even care about his shoes running away. When he arrived at the river, he happened to see the plane numbered starting with 22 crashing directly into the river, splashing water.
"A plane has fallen!"
"Where?"
"In the Yangtze River, it's our plane!"
"Our plane? Go and save it!"
Suddenly, someone jumped into the boat on the riverside and urged the boatman to row the boat to the place where the plane fell.
Some people even jumped into the cold river without thinking.
After seeing the word '22' at the beginning of the disappearing plane number, Chen Lu breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Li Hang's plane number started with 23.
But after seeing so many people going to save people, she directly ordered the guards who followed, "Stop being stunned and go save people!"
When Awei saw it, he could only obey the order, "Erhu, you are good at water, come with me to rescue people. The remaining two people will protect the lady."
After saying that, Awei and Erhu found a boat directly. Without any urging, the boatman took several people and rowed towards the center of the river.
