"Emergency alert, emergency alert, 4 enemy aircraft were found 150 kilometers to the northeast. Detachment Gao ordered the entire Red Star Flying Brigade to attack!" Not long after the air raid siren suddenly sounded at Jinyang Airport, an emergency order came from the loudspeaker.
"Fang Zhen, Ye Shaoshang, let's go!" Lu Xingguo, the temporary captain of the Red Star Flying Brigade, heard the alarm. He stood up suddenly, took his helmet, goggles and gloves, and ran directly towards the fighter plane on the airport runway!
Behind him, Fang Zhen and Ye Shaoshang followed closely.
They now have food and accommodation in the combat readiness room next to the airport, which is equivalent to a 24-hour war preparation state. The fighter planes are fully fueled and loaded with ammunition and are ready to go at any time.
Not long after, three fighter planes took off into the sky and headed northeast to meet them.
Lu Xingguo was in front as the arrow, and Fang Zhen and Ye Shaoshang were on his left and right sides, forming a triangular assault formation.
The fighter jet quickly penetrated the clouds and disappeared into the sky.
In this era, most of them do not yet have airborne radar and airborne voice communication. They can only rely on sight and ears to identify positions in the air. However, when Gao Jianwu was preparing to establish the Air Force, he had already customized a batch of battery-powered drones. After Lu Xingguo and others arrived, they immediately modified the walkie-talkies onto the fighter planes, enabling real-time air and air-to-ground communications.
The little devil's fighter plane came from the northeast and most likely took off from Pingjin. Its destination was either Jinyang or Yangcheng. Therefore, after Lu Xingguo entered the clouds, he kept a distance of about 10 kilometers from his two wingmen. The three planes were separated by one. The big characters flew towards Yangquan.
Sure enough, just after arriving in Meng County, Ye Shaoshang, who was on the right near Yangcheng, was the first to receive the full-channel call message from the ground walkie-talkie. The enemy plane was less than 30 kilometers away from Yangcheng!
"Call No. 3, call No. 3, the ground announced that the enemy plane is at one o'clock, 30 kilometers away from Yangcheng, and about 1,500 meters high!" Ye Shaoshang immediately acted as a relay and relayed the message.
"Received on the 1st, turn right to face the one o'clock direction and maintain an altitude of 2,500 meters!" Lu Xingguo on his left was the first to respond.
"Received on the 2nd, turn right to the one o'clock direction, altitude 2500 meters!" Fang Zhen, who was further away, responded, and the three fighter planes began to turn and head towards the direction of the Little Japanese fighter jet.
Gao Jianwu had already anticipated the Jaap's air raid. He deployed several groups of observation posts in the northeast of Yangcheng, forming a 30-kilometer arc warning circle at a distance of about ten kilometers.
Sure enough, it comes in handy now.
Although the maximum communication distance of a walkie-talkie is only 15 kilometers, through manual relay, Gao Jianwu can establish the simplest cellular communication network.
Now it's paying off.
...
To the northeast of Yangquan, Taro Nishida's flight team performing an air strike mission was approaching Yangquan according to the planned flight route. Currently, there are too few equipment on board the aircraft. In addition to limited instruments such as altitude, temperature, and compass in the air, navigation relies entirely on human eyes to observe ground targets, so it is impossible to fly blindly above the clouds after entering the target airspace.
They descended to an altitude of 1,500 meters as planned, and by observing ground targets, confirmed that there was no major deviation in the flight direction.
Jinyang No. 8 Road has information about the Air Force. The kid's North China Special High School actually received the information. After all, it was the news broadcast by the loudspeaker. However, after the special high school passed it to the staff office of the North China Expedition Army Headquarters, it did not cause any concern. their attention.
In their opinion, these three fighters probably have only propaganda significance for the Eighth Route Army, and their actual combat effectiveness is approximately zero.
So they didn't even notify the flying team, and Taro Nishida, who was carrying out the air strike on Yangquan 8th Road, was naturally completely unprepared.
According to the pre-planned plan, after entering 10 kilometers within Yangquan, they continued to lower their altitude for easier observation. Unexpectedly, three fighter planes shot out of the clouds and swooped down!
"No. 2, No. 2, come closer to me. Let's focus our fire on the leading enemy plane. No. 3, No. 3, you entangle the wingman next to you!" After Lu Xingguo emerged from the clouds, he quickly saw 1 kilometer below. There were two more Little Japanese fighter jets and tactics were immediately deployed.
At this time, Lu Xingguo knew that this was not the time to show off his personal heroism. The enemy was outnumbered and we were outnumbered. They had to kill an enemy plane as soon as possible to even out the difference in numbers.
Both sides were Type 97 fighters. In terms of familiarity with the Type 97 fighters, Lu Xingguo knew that even if his side was trying to catch up, they would not be able to catch up. After all, they had only touched the fighters for a few days.
The only advantage now is to catch them by surprise and attack them unprepared, and to take advantage of the battle position in advance to fight high and low!
Opportunities are fleeting and cannot be wasted.
"No. 2 understands, the first enemy plane to focus fire and take the lead!" Fang Zhen responded.
"No. 3 understands, entangle the enemy's wingman!" Ye Shaoshang also adjusted his position and accelerated his dive towards the little devil's wingman.
Just a few seconds later, three Red Star Flying Group fighters aimed at the Little Japanese fighter jet and opened fire almost simultaneously!
The flames formed by a series of heavy machine gun bullets were like poisonous snakes, rolling and wrapping around the two enemy planes at the head.
Taro Nishida, who was in the lead, bore the brunt of the attack. The fighter plane was penetrated by seven or eight large holes by the dense bullets. One of them hit the fuel tank, and black smoke immediately came out. Taro Nishida's vision was split, and the fighter plane quickly lost its balance and flew towards the ground. !
The first round of focus was perfect!
On the other side, Ye Shaoshang, who faced an enemy plane alone, also achieved victory. The bullet hit the wing of Taro Nishida's wingman and made several large holes. Suddenly, the enemy wingman began to lose his balance and staggered in the air. stand up!
"No. 2, No. 2, follow me. Let's continue to focus our fire to attack the enemy plane at 3 o'clock!" Lu Xingguo, the No. 1 machine, glanced at the battle situation on the No. 3 side in his busy schedule and felt that Ye Shaoshang should be able to handle it. , immediately summoned the No. 2 aircraft, Fang Zhen gathered fire and discovered that something was not going well with the enemy aircraft!
Second Lieutenant Chiba, who was in the second batch, was shocked when he saw one of the fighters on his side was killed and one injured. He immediately pulled up the nose of the plane and started to rush into the sky. He had to seize the offensive position. Although his wingman, Second Lieutenant Yakuza, did not I contacted him via instant messaging, but when I saw this situation, I also pulled up the plane.
However, they were already a step too late. Although Lu Xingguo and Fang Zhen, who were already a thousand meters taller, dived and attacked Taro Nishida, they quickly pulled up after succeeding in the attack. Their height was still several hundred meters higher than Second Lieutenant Chiba. At this moment, they pulled up After turning the plane into level flight, they were still pinned down. Lu Xingguo and Fang Zhen aimed at Second Lieutenant Chiba's fighter plane and started firing again without hesitation!
The hot bullets went directly towards the belly of Chiba's plane, hitting one of the aerial bombs and blowing up the fighter plane on the spot!
Send this little devil away in an instant.
4:3 has now become 3:2. Lu Xingguo and the others finally gained a numerical advantage!
"No. 2, No. 2, you go and focus fire with No. 3 to attack the injured enemy plane. I will entangle the one pulled up next to you!" Lu Xingguo looked at Second Lieutenant Chiba's wingman who had taken this opportunity to pull up the plane. After getting up high in the sky, he immediately said to No. 2 Fang Zhen.
"No. 2 understands, let's focus fire with No. 3 to attack the injured enemy plane!" Fang Zhen also knew that another enemy plane had occupied a superior height and there would not be much chance in a short time.
He immediately turned sideways and flew towards No. 3, who was entangled not far away.
He arrived just in time. Ye Shaoshang faced Taro Nishida's wingman alone. Even though the opponent's wing was damaged and he lost his sense of balance, this little Japanese pilot was also an experienced pilot. He used his experience to roll and pull the fuselage away. Instead of reaching high altitude, they gained a height advantage.
He turned around and launched an attack on Ye Shaoshang.
Ye Shaoshang could only rely on big movements to turn and evade, but his operational proficiency was far inferior to his opponent, and he was about to be caught up and locked!
At this time, Fang Zhen was facing Taro Nishida's wingman!
The two sides were almost at the same height, and Fang Zhen directly pressed the fire button! Two tongues of fire spurted out instantly, biting at Taro Nishida's wingman quickly.
The wingman pilot Taro Nishida was caught off guard and was hit with bloody holes by several oncoming heavy machine gun bullets on the spot!
The fighter jet instantly lost control and began to fly toward the ground!
The third enemy plane was killed!
3:1! The advantage completely shifted to the side of the Red Star Flying Group.
On the ground, the aerial observation post reported the results of the battle to Gao Jianwu. Gao Jianwu clenched his fist and hit the sandbag at the command post, "Well done!"
Gao Jianwu thought that with the advantage of information difference, Lu Xingguo and the others would achieve results, or at least drive away the enemy planes, but he did not expect that their mission would be completed so well.
The tactic of hiding one's figure from the clouds and then being guided by the humanoid radar of a human observation post on the ground was formulated by Gao Jianwu. He expected it to be effective. After all, fighter planes in this era basically relied on human observation and machine gun fire. Taking advantage of height in advance was too great.
Now Lu Xingguo and the others have given Gao Jianwu a surprise, which means that in the future, the Japanese Air Force will no longer dare to advance and retreat unscrupulously in the skies of Jinyang and even Jindi!
"Lao Gao, we also have our own air force!" Shen Quan listened to the side and was so excited that he almost shed tears!
This is the first real air force of the Eighth Route Army, an air force that can shoot down Japanese fighter jets!
This battle washes away the grievances of being randomly bullied by the little Japanese Air Force recently, making Shen Quan burst into tears with joy!
"That's right, Lao Shen, just look at it. In the future, our air force will not only be able to protect the Jin region, but also be able to break out of the Jin region and drive out the Japs from China. The sky over the land of China will be the territory of our Eighth Route Air Force in the future!"
Gao Jianwu said passionately that although he only has 3 fighter jets under his command now, in Gao Jianwu's words, he seems as heroic as holding 3,000 fighter jets!
"I believe, I really believe! Lao Gao, I believe everything you say!" Shen Quan nodded heavily. What Shen Quan saw most in Gao Jianwu was miracles!
No matter how absurd Gao Jianwu said at first, but after a while, you will find that those things you never dared to dream of come true in Gao Jianwu's hands, as if by magic!
The current Ping An cluster is so powerful. A year ago, who would have dared to imagine it, from the boss to every soldier below?
Directly crushing three brigade-level Japs to attack, the Air Force was able to shoot down several Japs enemy planes!
In this battle, Gao Jianwu created a new record for the Eighth Route Army that shocked the world!
