Captain Saburo Mushifumi, as the air commander who was highly expected by the air wing captain, certainly would not attack immediately as soon as the prey appeared.

The characteristics of the I-15 biplane were too obvious. The Japanese naval air commander, who was eager to take revenge, did not take this backward old aircraft seriously. He only led an aviation squadron to get out of the bomber group and greeted him.

If the Yi-15 aircraft group that dives down, if they want to kill the huge bomber group, they must break through the defense line laid by 12 Zero fighters in the air.

From more to less, Captain Saburo Katsudo's understanding of Chinese Air Force pilots, the Chinese fighter fleet will definitely rush over without hesitation, and he and his subordinates will use Zero fighter jets to kill the opponent one by one in this airspace with their Zero fighter jets.

Who knew that there were about 3,000 meters in the aircraft group of both sides, and in a dozen seconds, they could reach the distance between the two sides. The Chinese aircraft group turned abnormally.

In normal times, Saburo Shinto would definitely take protecting the bomber group as his mission. As long as Chinese fighters do not come, he would protect the bomber group to return smoothly. However, what the Japanese Navy Air Force Captain, who had experienced the Yiling air battle and the fierce artillery fire over the Yama Castle not long ago, needs the most at the moment, is the blood of the enemy. Only these bright reds can extinguish the anger in his heart.

Through the rearview mirror in the cabin, you can see that the bomber group is accelerating from the battlefield under the protection of 12 Zero fighters. After thinking for a few seconds, Saburo Shimo finally issued a pursuit order.

He believed that even if this was the Chinese's plan to lure the enemy, the remaining 12 fighter jets could hold on until he killed the old Chinese fighter jets and returned.

At an altitude of less than 3,000 meters, the maximum speed of the Zero fighter exceeds 500 kilometers per hour, which is far from comparable to a 350 kilometers per hour biplane fighter.

Captain Saburo Shinto's tactical thinking is completely correct in one aspect.

According to the combat effectiveness of Japanese Zero fighters against Chinese and Iranian fighters after the war, it was a unilateral crush. If it was to break the defense line of 12 Zero fighters, China would have to deploy at least 3 to 4 times the number of fighters.

However, when 24 aircraft have been dispatched, it is almost impossible for the current Chinese Air Force to dispatch about 40 more Iraqi fighter jets to complete.

Because the maximum range of the Iraqi series of fighters is only 500 kilometers, it does not support fighter jets distributed in airports in Sichuan Province to arrive here for such a long distance, and then fly back to their airports.

At the beginning of the battlefield, as Saburo Shimitou expected, 5 minutes later, 12 aggressive Zero fighters bit the Chinese aircraft group that was "escape in a panic" in the area 28 kilometers away from the location of the Chinese fighter jets. Seeing that they could no longer escape the pursuit of Japanese aircraft by speed, the 24 Chinese fighters could only leave some of the fighter jets entangled with Japanese aircraft, and more than a dozen fighters struggled to dive and turn around to gain a favorable position to fight Japanese aircraft.

Then, the Chinese people watching the battle on the ground saw an extremely tragic scene.

Whether it is the turning radius, maneuver speed, or firepower, the plane painted with the blood-red sun at the tail is far above the plane painted with the blue sky and white sun flag.

The eight Chinese fighter jets that left behind blocking the enemy were unable to escape the pursuit of Japanese aircraft, whether they dive or climb desperately. Even a three-year-old child could see clearly the clumsiness of the biplane in front of the monoplane.

In just 2 minutes, eight Chinese fighter jets were either shot down or injured and poured out thick smoke. The fighter jets had to drag the smoke columns to choose to land in the farmland, but there was only a chance to bloom 3 white flowers in the sky!

The only fighter jet that successfully landed successfully, when the villagers rushed towards the plane at the risk of being shot by the Japanese plane to try to rescue the pilot, they found that the windshield had been shattered long ago, the pilot was shot in the chest, and the blood had already dyed the entire cockpit blood red.

Before the villagers lifted him out of the cockpit, the young pilot gently exhaled the last breath of his life.

God knows what kind of perseverance he has with. The moment before his life is about to end, he not only smoothly controlled the damaged fighter planes to rush into the low altitude, but also steadily parked the planes in the rice fields full of mud.

No one knew how he accomplished this miracle, but this fighter plane that was preserved by the villagers using mud and rice from the rice fields to extinguish the flames was eventually transported back to Jiulongpo Airport.

Although the old and seriously damaged fighter plane has no chance to climb into the blue sky because of the new fighter jets, it has been preserved in the China Military Museum. The bullet holes on its fuselage have not been repaired and the blood in its cockpit has not been cleaned.

The old antiques from the 1930s, in an inconspicuous location in the Chinese Military Museum, show all visitors the glory of blood and sacrifice!

Sometimes, it is not only victory that is glory, but also failure and sacrifice.

It was these China's best young people who used their lives to delay the pace of the Japanese army's advance and gained a chance to breathe for the entire nation.

Just like this doomed battle, they knew before boarding the plane that they were just bait and consumables, and the risks were much greater than those of their comrades who were hovering at an altitude of nearly 7,000 meters to look for fighter planes.

Moreover, as commander, Zheng Shaoyu gave them a chance to withdraw. If there were not enough personnel willing to act as this "cannon fodder", he would revise his tactics and fight against the Japanese escort fleet and bomber fleet in a hard-to-hard manner.

But these young people from elite families choose to face death directly!

There is a choice on the battlefield called living to death. Only by fighting hard can you have the chance to survive. And they are called dying to death, and using their own lives to exchange for the chance to survive.

In the end, with the anticipation of the people of Bishan County, 24 Chinese fighter jets were defeated!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! The battle loss ratio is an extremely frustrating 0 to 18! Less than 4 of the 18 Chinese fighter jets were able to successfully land, and 14 of them were shot down in the mountains and fields. There were only 7 Chinese pilots who could parachute and survive.

However, only two fighter jets were flying white smoke from the tail, but judging from their posture and speed in the air, they should have been slightly injured.

If we only look at this battle, China will be a complete loser in this battle against air defense in Shancheng. Not only will the city still be bombed, but the fighter planes were shot down and injured 18.

But this is just the first wave in this air battle!

The Japanese planes that won the air battle did not hover in the air as before and were waiting for an opportunity to attack the Chinese fighter jets that had successfully landed on the ground. They were leaving at high speed.

To be more precise, he left at full speed, including the two slightly injured Japanese fighter jets.

The 900 horsepower engine of the 11 Zero fighter jets was neighing, and even the Chinese people on the ground more than 2,000 meters away could hear it clearly. The Chinese people who witnessed their own defeat in the fleet were shrouded in great sorrow. The Japanese who had won a great victory for Mao seemed to have their butts caught fire and left the battlefield.

Captain Saburo Katsudo, who won the victory, was not as happy as he imagined. He didn't even care about chasing the last six Chinese fighter jets, and his face was filled with anger and fear.

Because, 70 kilometers away from his battlefield, the bomber group that was returning at high speed was ambushed by a Chinese aircraft group from high altitudes.

There are dozens of aircraft that are not afraid, and they are all the latest fighter jets. What really scares Saburo Mitofumi is that the Chinese are so tolerant and wait for a full 10 minutes before starting the attack.

Don't they know that the Iranian series of fighters are not the opponent of the Empire's latest fighter jets? As the Japanese Navy Air Force who once fought with the Chinese Air Force over Yiling, his opponent knew very well that even if there were 24 to 11, the Chinese Iranian series of fighters had no chance.

But the Chinese still did this. Dozens of fighter jets followed the bomber group at an altitude of 7,000 meters, waiting for him to lead the Imperial fighter jets to shoot down 18 Chinese fighter jets, just like golden eagles in the sky, waiting for the best time to prey.

This tactic is really too ruthless, so cruel that even Saburo Katsuki, who is the enemy, is cold all over!

Because he knew what these cruel enemies were waiting for, waiting for their comrades to spend 10 minutes with their lives, waiting for the bomber group to get farther and farther away from the battlefield.

For humans, 70 kilometers is very far away. Even the toughest troops can move forward lightly for more than 15 hours. However, for fighters, especially Zero fighters with a maximum speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour, it takes less than 10 minutes to push the throttle lever to the bottom and turn on the afterburner, it may be possible to reach it in seven or eight minutes.

But can 25 bombers and 12 escort Zero fighters last until he leads his team to arrive?

Saburo Shinto didn't know the result, but he knew that if the Chinese were allowed to successfully attack the bomber formation, not to mention that he only killed 18, even if he destroyed 24 Chinese fighter jets, the Imperial Navy would have suffered a great loss in this air battle.

"Everyone, return immediately! The bomber formation is being attacked by the Chinese. Everyone returns as fast as possible without saving fuel!" Captain Saburo Katsudo, who tried his best to remain calm, said this in the wireless telephone and pushed the throttle rod to the bottom.

In fact, the Chinese are not as calm as Saburo Shinobu imagined.

The young Chinese pilots at the altitude of 6,800 meters covered by clouds are also suffering.

The radio performance of the I-15 fighter of the Mao Bearman is really poor, and often it is impossible to communicate with the ground at all, resulting in errors. Even if it is already considered the most advanced I-16 fighter of the Mao Bearman, the air signals are intermittent.

Therefore, when Tang Dao and Zheng Shaoyu formulated the tactic that someone had to "fly to the fire", the country immediately hired a maintenance pilot at the airport to upgrade the Yi-16. In fact, it was to install 10 sets of Wildcat fighter radio systems on the Yi-16. This was to facilitate the contact between the main aircraft group and inform them at any time to leave the battlefield at a more suitable time.

The two Iranian series of aircraft responsible for carrying out the "moth to the flames" have five Iranian-16 aircraft each.

Even though it is still tens of kilometers away, the main force can receive the voice of the bait machine group.

The most common thing in the cockpits of young Chinese pilots is the rustling of electronic signals after entering the blind spot of the signal. Occasionally, there are intermittent sounds from comrades, but they keep saying goodbye.

"Mengqing's plane No. 16 caught fire. He wanted to enter a low altitude and forced landing. He failed. Plane No. 16 has crashed! It's too low and there is no chance to parachute!"

"I've been parachuting in the light. The goddamn Japanese still want to shoot him with a machine gun. I'll block it!"

"I'm shot and I don't have the strength to climb out of the cockpit. Goodbye, brothers!"

"We have already lost most of the battle. We can't do it anymore. Please, brothers!"

The constant bad news has made the young Chinese pilots cry, at the altitude of the engine roaring.

"Captain, launch an attack! If you don't launch an attack, Captain Wang and others will be all done!" The young Chinese pilots kept asking Zheng Shaoyu, the highest commander of the Bishan airspace, in a torture.

"The distance is not enough, wait!" Zheng Shaoyu's orders were so short that they could not be shorter, and his tone was as firm as ever, and no one could hear his emotional changes.

But perhaps only the wingman pilot less than 20 meters away from him could see the face of the resolute major captain in the cockpit with tears flashing on the face of the resolute major captain.

His brothers had already died with mercy under his command, so what he had to do now was not to let them die in vain.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Dive attack! The 17th and 18th squadrons will give priority to attacking enemy bombers, and the rest will join me to entangle and kill the escort Japanese Zero aircraft group!" Until a full 10 minutes later, Zheng Shaoyu, who had been staring at his watch, finally roared and issued an attack order.

48 wildcat fighters flying in high altitude roared down and dived to kill the Japanese bombers flying at an altitude of 3,000 meters.

The Japanese bomber group consisted of the 97 heavy bomber series, some of which were early models and some later modified models, but they were mainly different from air weapons. The earliest KI-21 model had only 4 machine guns, and by the 2939 revision, the kI-21 II increased to 6, and the vertical tail wing was added, which could reach a speed of 430 kilometers per hour at full speed.

This was already of medium level among bombers at that time, and even faster than China's Iraqi series fighter jets. Many times facing interception by Iraqi series fighter jets, the 97 heavy explosion could be used to increase the accelerator and move away.

But this time their opponent is the Wildcat fighter with a maximum speed of 550 kilometers per hour. The distance of 3,000 meters is only two or three minutes for a speed difference of more than 100 kilometers per hour.

The 12 Zero fighters were already working very hard. As the bomber group tried to continue to flee forward, they completed the steering in the air with one-quarter of their opponent's strength and rushed towards their powerful opponents.

But how could the Chinese aircraft group, which had an absolute advantage in number, be stopped by 12 Zero fighters? About 20 Wildcat fighters were strangled with these 12 Zero fighters in the air under the leadership of Zheng Shaoyu, while the other 28 were resolutely storming the Japanese bomber group.

The 97-heavy explosion was naturally unwilling to be captured, and the air-based machine gun desperately opened fire at the wildcat fighter that was forcing him.

But for the Wildcat fighter with a length of only 8.7 meters, which is more than 16 meters long, it is light like a falcon that touches a vulture, constantly flying up and down, cutting into the battlefield from the bomber's shooting dead corner.

The wildcat fighter jet is described as a hawk, which describes their agility, but when it comes to lethality, the lethality of the 97 heavy bomber is not as great as that of the wildcat fighter jet.

One of the tactical purposes of the birth of the Wildcat fighter is to intercept the opponent's bomber, so all machine guns use 12.7mm heavy machine guns, and the modified models later are even equipped with 20mm machine guns and 23mm guns.

The thick warhead can easily tear open the skin of the 97 heavy explosion machine and cause damage to the body!

In less than 5 minutes, 19 of the 25 Japanese bombers were shot down, and two Chinese wildcat fighters were hit by heavy machine guns and crashed. Fortunately, the pilots were able to successfully parachute, and another five wildcat fighters were injured, and two of them were ordered to return from low altitude due to the rolling smoke.

Compared to Saburo Mushifumi's one-sided side on the battlefield, the Japanese bomber group actually broke the zero record, and his performance could score 30 points anyway.

But as more wildcat fighters that destroy their targets are put into the battlefield, it is only a matter of time before the remaining 6 97 heavy explosions are destroyed.

From the beginning, the 12 Zero fighters were able to relied on super-powered and 20 Chinese fighters with a higher number than their own. However, with nearly 10 Wildcat fighters dealing with their opponents and returning from more than 10 kilometers away, the Japanese planes fell into a completely passive state.

Because of his heartache, he watched his comrades use his life to gain opportunities for him. Many young Chinese pilots used the tactic of "injuring one thousand enemies and destroying eight hundred themselves" to hurt both sides. They tried to be hit by a Japanese machine gun, and they also had to use a machine gun to leave a few holes for the Japanese aircraft.

You have a large number of tactics and targeted tactics. You even have to do this kind of tactics. Who can withstand it?

What's even more terrible is that the Wildcat fighter has too many protections for the fuel tank and pilot cockpit than the Zero fighter. At least six Wildcat fighters left dozens of bullet holes, but they still jumped up and down vigorously.

As long as the Zero fighter is caught with more than a dozen 12.7mm caliber bullets, there is almost no smoke.

It is a good thing to smoke from the ancestral grave, but it is the rhythm of burning when it comes to the ancestral grave.

When Saburo Shinto rushed to the air battle site, the air battle was basically over, and the black smoke was burning everywhere on the ground. You don’t need to look closely and you will know that it was the wreckage after the plane crashed.

There are nearly 40 Chinese fighter jets painted with blue sky and white sun flags in the sky and constantly hovering in the air.

The Chinese aircraft group that shot down all the bombers and killed nine Zero fighter jets to win a great victory was not to circle and demonstrate on their own results, they were waiting in this airspace for the return of these enemy planes that killed their comrades.

"kill!"

Two identical commands were issued from the mouths of the two Chinese and Japanese commanders.

It was like two groups of red-eyed bulls, 37 wildcat fighters and 11 Zero fighters hedging without dodging.

For the pilots of the two fleets, any language is enough to express their anger and sorrow, only the blood of the enemy can be.

The 11 Zero Fighters who lost all their sanity eventually had no chance to return.

In the sky, 32 wildcat fighters circled on their battlefield for three laps and flew to the most tragic and splendid battlefield, where they circled for more than 10 minutes.

Looking over from the ground, it was like a flock of geese that had lost their companions. Although there was no sarcastic cry, they could see the sadness.

Finally, they raised their noses and flew upwards.
