This attack by the 1st Aviation Division invested a total of 50 P-40 fighter jets.

The 50 P-40 fighters were divided into three formations. The first formation was 10 P-40 fighters, carrying 1,000-pound-level heavy bombs, responsible for blowing up the airport's runway.

The second combat formation is 20 P-40 fighter jets, which blow up a 100-pound-class bomb on the belly and both wings, and is responsible for blowing up high-value targets such as hangars, airport towers, and oil tanks.

The third combat formation is also 20 P-40 fighter jets.

However, these 20 fighter jets did not carry any bombs, and their mission was to escort the bomb-mounted fighter jets.

Although the confidentiality work of this air raid was done very well and the vigilance of the Japanese Amaranth Airport was not high, Zhong Yi and Zheng Shaoyu were still very cautious.

If you don’t have much capital, you can only live a life with calculating care.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Shaoyu would rather reduce the bombing force and deliberately leave 20 fighter jets without bombing, in order to ensure the maneuverability of these 20 fighter jets and deal with possible emergencies.

However, this time Zhong Yi or Zheng Shaoyu was obviously over-thinking and no emergencies occurred.

Most of the two Japanese fighter fleets stationed at Amaranth Airport, most of which were destroyed on the hangar or runway.

Only two Type 96 fighters were launched before the first wave of bombs fell.

These two Type 96 fighters were also lucky because the pilots of these two fighters were two flight fans and were obsessed with flying, so they were unwilling to sleep in the dormitory at night and insisted on sleeping in the cockpit of the fighter. It is precisely because of this that before Martins and Zhang Fan dived, the two Type 96 were already launched in advance.

It is also because of this that Zhang Fan did not see these two 96 styles.

Unfortunately, these two 96 styles alone are not enough to reverse the entire battle situation.

The two Type 96 aircraft had just climbed into the hollow, and before they could turn around and return to the battlefield, the Eagle 2 driven by Chennard had already bitten up with six P-40 fighters.

The wolf pack tactics finally have the opportunity to practice.

To put it bluntly, Chennard's wolf pack tactics are actually very simple. It is to concentrate three or four aircraft to form a situation of fighting one more in local airspace, and then shoot down the enemy aircraft by virtue of its numerical advantage.

Before the two 96-style models had time to turn around, the six p-40s had already bitten up.

After approaching, the six P-40 fighters quickly divided into two teams, one team and three, and each forced to one Type 96.

Chennard flew Eagle 2, continuously adjusting his flight posture, and firmly maintained his fighter jet at the tail of the Type 96 fighter jet in front.

"Go to die!" Chennard cursed. When he was about to fire a machine gun, the Type 96 fighter that was locked by it suddenly made a bucket roll and easily got rid of the lock.

"Oh, I'm sorry!" Chennard cursed and could only get rid of the follower.

Because another P-40 fighter has taken over his Eagle 2, he followed the Type 96.

Chennard immediately drove the engine to the maximum, first climbed in the air, and then dived the Type 96 from a high altitude. Almost at the same time, another P-40 fighter also detoured from the flank.

In a blink of an eye, the Japanese Type 96 fighter was caught in a three-dimensional attack from three different directions.

If it were those with insufficient flight experience, they would either lose sight of the other or be completely panic when facing such a three-dimensional attack. However, the Japanese pilot of the 96th Type Japanese was not in a hurry. He pushed the joystick and dived towards the ground. At this moment, the three-dimensional attack from three directions was all gone.

"Excerpt! Excerpt! Excerpt!" Chennard cursed three times and drove the fighter and dived.

The other two P-40 fighters also adjusted their flight routes, one surrounded from the front and the other detoured from the flank.

With the advantage of speed, the two P-40 fighters quickly flew to the front of the Type 96 fighter.

The situation formed a situation where Chennard followed behind him and two other P-40s were intercepted in front.

Moreover, after two consecutive misses, Chennard and his two teammates not only cooperated more tacitly, but also became more skillful in various tactical actions. If nothing unexpected happens, the Japanese Type 96 fighter jet would be difficult to escape.

However, Chennard still underestimated the Japanese pilot of this Type 96 fighter. The Japanese have really strong flight experience, combat experience and psychological qualities.

While the two fighter jets were chasing, the nose of the Type 96 suddenly lifted up and made a big move. While the fuselage was slightly raised, the flight speed suddenly dropped.

Chennard's P-40 was caught off guard and had no time to react, so he whizzed under the Type 96 fighter jet.

When Chennard reacted and looked back, he saw that the Type 96 had returned to his posture, but the situation had become that Type 96 followed him behind him, and the other two P-40 fighters were also circling towards its Eagle 2 at high speed. The two teammates almost turned on the heavy machine gun!

Fortunately, Chennard is also a veteran, so he quickly made a cross pendulum in an emergency.

Two dazzling flames almost brushed against his fuselage. Although the fuselage avoided, one of them hit the tail wing of Eagle No. 2.

Fortunately, the injury was not serious and the bullet penetrated the tail wing directly, which basically had no effect.

However, Chennard also knew that after the tail wing was injured, he could not perform various difficult flight movements for a long time. The battle must be ended as soon as possible, otherwise his Eagle 2 might crash at any time.

So Chennard decisively got rid of it quickly and then deviated.

The P-40 fighter has a crushing speed advantage over the Japanese Type 96 fighter.

After more than ten seconds, the three P-40s completed the encirclement of the 96-style again.

This time, Chennard and the others finally missed the opportunity. After a fire volley, the cunning and difficult Type 96 land fighter was finally shot, and thick smoke rose from the oil depot.

Then, without waiting for the pilot to jump, it exploded.

Looking at another airspace, the four P-40 fighters attacked had also completed the hunting of another Japanese Type 96 fighter, and they had no damage or any injuries.

After completing the hunting mission of two Type 96 fighters, Chennard and others flew back to the Amaranth Airport and carried out several rounds of dive strafing at the hangar and the Japanese fighter jets crashed on the runway.

Make sure no Japanese fighter is intact before leaving.

This air battle, known in history as the "11.11" air battle, the 1st Aviation Division of the National Revolutionary Army, which had just formed a military force, destroyed the 16th Fighter Team of the Japanese 3rd Flight Regiment and the 69 Type 96 land fighters of the 59th Fighter Team of the Fighter at the cost of zero casualties.
