There was a buzzing sound in the sky. Jiang Zhiqing, who was standing on the fortress commanding the troops to reinforce the fortress, looked back to the south. Under the dazzling sunshine, two gray Zhangong-1 fighter jets, like death arrows, flew over one after another.

It passed over people's heads. The plane flew very low, so low that you could see the face of the pilot in the cockpit. The red five-color stars under the wings were very eye-catching.

When the soldiers on the ground saw the plane, they took off their helmets, waved towards the plane, and cheered loudly. The young faces were full of pride for the motherland and optimism for the war. The news of the victory in the first air battle had already been read from "Battlefield Report"

" and the broadcast spread throughout Jiao'ao, and even the whole of China knew that the Jiangsu Army Air Force won the first air battle in which one against three, shot down an enemy plane and escaped completely. This was the first air battle in the world, and

The result was a victory for the Chinese army.

In people's sight, the two planes separated to the left and right, each slowly climbing upwards. The people in the fortress didn't know what was going on. While reinforcing the fortifications, they raised their heads and murmured what the two planes were going to do.[]

The dazzling sunlight shines directly into the cabin. According to the airport thermometer, when he took off, the ground temperature had exceeded 36 degrees. Flying at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour in the air of 2000, even wearing a leather flight jacket, it was still

I felt a little chilly. Zhu Xiang, who was flying the Zhangong-1 aircraft, took out the water bottle from his waist and took a sip of water. The cold boiled water poured into the throat, which only made people feel refreshed. The coolness in his heart also disappeared.

uneasy.

After putting the kettle into the kettle bag, he took a closer look at the northeastern sky. Yes, it was not an illusion. Three black spots were hovering in the sky about three or four kilometers away from him. There should not be anything in that direction.

It's your own plane, which means... it's the enemy's plane!

Another Falman aircraft!

marvelous!

Suddenly, Zhu Xiang felt a rush of heat from his back to his forehead. For a long time, his brain was almost boiling. He realized that this might be an opportunity to sit in the cockpit and hold the gun in his right hand.

Holding the joystick and looking at the three black dots, he said hello to the friendly aircraft.

"07! The food is ready! Three racks at 2 o'clock!"

"Buzz..."

The roar of the engine came from behind. Captain Hideho Wada's eyes looked around from time to time, while the observer Fujise Masaru sitting in the back seat kept marking the discovered Chinese army fortresses on the map. Laoshan was completely

It has become a fortress! From the air, almost every pass is equipped with a fortress that has been completed or is about to be completed.

After the plane was shot down, Masaru Fujise, who was rescued by a lifeboat, was not injured. Now he is only acting as Yamada's observer, not a pilot.

"Where did the China plane go?"

While marking the map, Fujise Katsu thought in his heart that if he had any other wishes, I'm afraid there is only one wish left: to shoot down that damn Mercados aircraft and make a snowfall

Personal shame.

In order to shoot down the Maltex aircraft, even when performing the current reconnaissance mission, Major Yozo Kaneko, as the captain, ordered three aircraft to fly in formation so that they could attack the Chinese aircraft when encountering opponents. Now, even the Japanese

News was reported all over the country that the Japanese Naval Air Force was defeated miserably against three enemies. If you want to restore your reputation, you must shoot down the Valtex!

"It's time to return home..."

Having been commanding the formation to fly for two hours, Major Yosan Kaneko just had this idea in his mind. When he realized that he might not be able to encounter the Maltex today, a strange uneasiness suddenly entered his thoughts.

His intuition told him that the enemy was approaching.

"Iikura, prepare to fight!"

As soon as he gave the order, he stood up from the cabin and searched for suspicious targets: the sky was still a peaceful blue, so peaceful that not even a bird could be seen, and everything was normal in the direction of Qingdao.

On the fortress between the two, you can see something moving, possibly a car.

...The dazzling sunlight made Kaneko Yozo's eyes dazzled. Except for the shadows of the dense woods on the mountain, he could not see anything else clearly. After thinking for a while, Kaneko Yozo decided to fly downstream along the river bank for a while and then return.

Turning back, he could avoid the direct sunlight and observe the situation on the south bank of the river without any difficulty. He gently pedaled the rudder, and the compass needle slid to 120 degrees in perfect harmony...

"That is……"

Suddenly, when he looked upward, two black spots that suddenly appeared only made Kaneko Yosan's heart tremble. Are those...enemy planes? They were flying at least 4,000 meters high and very fast. They seemed to have already

After discovering himself, the sudden danger immediately made his mind active: continuing to advance at low altitude now is tantamount to seeking death, and the Chinese fighter jets will rush down and attack them at any time. At the current speed and altitude, it seems...

Looking at the planes in the distance, although they knew that the formation below was very dangerous, it also meant an opportunity. This meant that as long as they flew towards the opponent and flew below the China plane, they would have no chance to attack themselves again, but they

But it can attack them from below.

After making up his mind, he ordered Takao of the Armed Forces to issue the bugle call, and decisively pushed the throttle to the full position, then pulled the joystick and started to accelerate, but it did not climb. The sound of the aircraft engine suddenly became louder.

, the huge torque generated by the engine forced him to continuously use ailerons to correct the roll of the fuselage.

At this time, the enemy plane in the sky flew in another direction inexplicably. Why didn't they launch an attack? Did their plane malfunction? It ran out of fuel? Impossible. In that case, he should fly back and return. They were

Flying northwest. So what do they want to do?

Takao Takebu, who was operating the machine gun, looked at the two enemy planes at high altitude in confusion. The black spots on the blue sky background were unusually eye-catching... While adjusting the shooting angle of the machine gun to track the Chinese aircraft, a burst of dazzling sunlight confused his vision.

At the same time, Takao Takebe was trembling all over. In an instant, he understood: the cunning Chinese pilot was using sunlight to disrupt his vision, thereby shooting him down in one fell swoop.

Just as Takao Takebe feared, almost as soon as the two planes took up a favorable angle, they began to dive.

"Sir... we must climb up quickly. There is no way to aim from this direction!"

While Takebe Takao was shouting, Kaneko Yozo had already adjusted the plane's course. At the same time, he lowered his head and looked at the altimeter. It had just passed two thousand meters, but the opponent had already started to dive.

"07, No cooperation required, attack freely!"

When giving the order, Zhu Xiang saw that the three planes had dispersed. They did not climb, but accelerated towards his direction.

"They have very sharp eyes. They must have discovered us."

07's words came from the earphones. The other party discovered the fact about him, which made Zhu Xiangcai feel a little discouraged. It was supposed to be a classic ambush battle that could be written into textbooks, but now it has become a dull "annihilation battle."

"Now you have no chance!"

Although he was a little disappointed, Zhu Xiangcai showed a smile on his lips, but it was clearly a bit ferocious and extraordinarily cold.

Full throttle, full right rudder, turned on the machine gun safety, a series of quick and confident movements, the nose of the Zhangong-1 howled and pointed at the Farman aircraft on the left among the three aircraft.

The aluminum-skinned machine gun barrel half-covered reflects the cold light, like the white canine teeth of a beast...

The airspeed indicator pointer jumped violently on the 200 mark, and the black spots quickly grew larger...

"You can't escape now!"

Staring closely at the Farman aircraft's unique cabin located in front of the wing, even though he has not completed air combat training, Zhu Xiangcai is still extremely confident in his skills. He stares at the enemy in the shooting ring with a calm expression.

And naturally. At this time, the distance had shortened to about one thousand meters, and the index finger of his right hand slowly slid towards the shooting button on the joystick...

Almost immediately after discovering the enemy plane, Masaru Fujise's eyes never left the Chinese plane. Therefore, soon after the enemy plane began to turn and dive, he clearly realized: It had been discovered!

But what surprised him most was that the Chinese plane was much larger than he imagined. Although the distance was still nearly two thousand meters, it could be seen that the plane looked very solid and solid, far from the French plane.

The MAN aircraft looks so crude.

"Oh my god! It's so fast!"

"At least two hundred!"

When the enemy plane began to dive, Fujise Masaru heard the exclamation in his ears. It was indeed very fast, much faster than he imagined.

"Does diving work?"

Fujise Masaru murmured in his heart, and carefully observed the leading enemy plane. It did not seem to be equipped with a machine gun, at least he did not see a machine gun, but despite this, Fujise Masaru did not dare to take it lightly. The consequences of being careless last time

It was because he was easily shot down, and the painful lesson of the last "sneak attack" made Fujise Masaru fire first.

"clatter……"

When the opponent was still nearly one kilometer away from him, Fujise Masaru opened fire first. The recoil of the machine gun shook the aircraft up and down. A few seconds after he fired, the two Chinese aircraft, which looked very solid, were already roaring.

After rushing to a place less than 800 meters away from the formation, two planes pounced on another plane.

Bullets were flying around the aircraft from time to time, but they did not pose any threat to the Yi Type War Attack.

"it's time!"

During the dive, Zhu Xiangfei kept the enemy aircraft firmly in the center of the aiming crosshair, 800 meters away! Although the No. 07 aircraft could not wait to launch an attack at this time, he was still waiting. He was still five hundred meters away from the opponent.

When the distance is 30 meters, his index finger presses the shooting button.

"Da da……"

Accompanied by the sound of gunfire, the nose of the Zhangong-1 aircraft flashed through two balls of gunfire, and two strings of tracer bullets jumped out from the muzzle of the gunfire, drawing two green and red trajectories in the air, slashing like the scythe of death.

Toward the Falman...

In London, where the highest temperature of the year is no more than 20 degrees Celsius, the characteristics of summer never seem to be that obvious, even a bit cold. For foreigners who spend the summer in London for the first time, September in London seems to be nothing but spring.

It feels like the weather here is still cool in summer. Even if the sun is shining brightly, the temperature rarely exceeds 30 degrees Celsius. Some people wear shorts and shorts on the street, and many people wear autumn clothes and long trousers. You still have to cover yourself with a quilt when sleeping at night.

At this time, although the war in France was far from reaching Britain, for Britain, which had already participated in the war, the atmosphere of war had already appeared on the streets of London. Recruitment posters could be seen everywhere on the telephone poles on both sides of the street.

Patriotic posters and Union Jack flags hanging high or sticking out of windows all express the loyalty of citizens of the British Empire to their country.

However, the recent news from the mainland is not very good. After the French border battle in August, the French Fourth and Fifth Group Armies and the British Expeditionary Force withdrew to the south of the Marne River a few days ago.

With the first-line defense deployed at Verdun, it can be said that the situation in France has reached its peak of tension. Facing the not-so-optimistic situation on the mainland battlefield, British public opinion circles have begun to discuss how to carry out homeland defense. Every British person is rejoicing.

.

"Fortunately, we still have a powerful Royal Navy!"

Indeed, for the British, the powerful Royal Navy seems to be their eternal pride and the strongest barrier of the British Empire. The existence of the powerful Royal Navy seems to be enough to ensure that the British mainland is away from the threat of war, so despite the public opinion

While they were worried about future changes in the battlefield situation in France, the vast majority of British people did not have the slightest sense of crisis.
