Sixteen Ki-43s, under the cover of anti-aircraft guns, circled and climbed at the same time. After climbing to an altitude of about 2,000 meters, it broke away from the cover of anti-aircraft guns and flew to the west.

Ronald and Christie hung far behind the Japanese group, and constantly radioed the movements of the Japanese fighter group to the command center.

"The Japanese have been honest for so many days, and finally they can't help it!" There was jubilation in the command center. Even Ron and the normally stern General Bissel smiled.

"They are now in Area 5 at an altitude of 2,000 meters and are moving northwest at a speed of about 320 kilometers."

"Immediately notify Bugs Bunny, Goofy, Mickey Mouse, and Vampire to concentrate in the third district." Ron rubbed his hands excitedly as he gave the order, "Keep this batch behind, so that if you fight a few more battles, the old pilots of the Japanese will be exhausted, and they will have to go to the bench." ”

……

Koga's Ki-44 was now hovering at an altitude of 6,000 meters, and the weather was fine for an ambush, with cirrocumulus clouds in the shape of fish scales. The height of such clouds is very high, ranging from 5000 to 8000 meters. The clouds are not very thick, but they are dense, and the distance between each small cloud is small. Fighter jets are very well concealed when they move through such clouds. You can also observe the situation below through the gaps between the clouds. Of course, this kind of cloud also brings a problem, that is, if the large group of planes is very densely packed, it is easy to collide in the clouds, and if the planes are too far apart, it is easy to get lost when crossing the clouds. Especially now that radio silence has to be maintained. So, after climbing to this height, the fleet of 8 Ki-44s has been disbanded into 4 two-plane formations.

Now, Koga's wingman was less than 20 meters behind him on his left. As a combat formation, this spacing is too small, but in order not to be separated, it can only be like this.

"Calculate the time, the time for the attack is almost up, right?" After turning around the airspace many times, passing in and out of the clouds many times, Koga was a little anxious. After hovering in such airspace for a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be separated from the wingman.

Thinking like this, Koga's Ki-44 once again burrowed into a cloud, and his eyes immediately turned milky white, and nothing could be seen, only the roar of the engine echoed in his ears.

At this moment, a call sign came from the headphones that had been silent for a long time:

"Onmyoji calls Snow Maiden, the target has appeared in Area 8, ready to attack, ready to attack!"

Koga didn't immediately turn into a dive, knowing that changing course in the clouds would surely separate him and his wingman. So he turned on the radio.

"Kobayashi-kun, keep course, and dive immediately after Izumo."

At this time, his eyes suddenly lit up, the plane had already drilled out of the clouds, he looked back and looked behind, Xiao Lin was still following behind. So Koga gently swung the joystick, made a 180-degree roll, and looked down with his head held high.

Just below, directly below him, several P-51s were swooping towards a group of Ki-43s.

These P-51s were a group of sea eagles that swooped down, and the Ki-43s were like schools of fish, gathering and dodging their attacks.

"It's now!" Koga swooped the lever and swooped down towards several P-51s that had just been reformulated from the dive and were climbing at a wide angle.

Lucius was the captain of the P-51s that were being pulled up, and in the dive they had just wounded a Ki-43, and now that the plane was clearly in control, Lucius believed that with another dive, he would be able to make the plane a volley. Perhaps the most correct thing for that Japanese pilot would have done was to take advantage of the gap before the Americans launched their next attack and quickly parachute out. However, considering that this is a deserted primeval jungle below, if the Japanese really jumped, most of them would not be able to get out of this forest, right? In fact, even if it is himself, although he received a few weeks of jungle survival knowledge education and a week of field drills before the battle, it is estimated that it will still be difficult to get out if he parachutes here.

Just when Lucius was a little distracted, his fighter plane suddenly shook violently.

"Puff puff puff", this is the sound that a fighter plane makes when it is hit by a bullet, and at the same time, several shadows flash from the right side of Lucius's plane.

Lucius hurriedly looked over, and it was a few Japanese fighters with particularly thick heads, with a small hanging tail and a bright red sun symbol.

"It's Ki-44! Damn, ambushed! ”

Lucius looked up and saw two more Ki-44s swooping towards his formation.

"At 7 o'clock, Japanese fighters!" He gave a warning over the radio as he swung the joystick sharply, intending to take a sharp turn. But the plane's response turned out to be exceptionally sluggish.

"Damn, the aileron must be damaged."

The damage to the aileron made Lucius's plane so clumsy that several 12.7mm bullets were hit during the attack. Fortunately, there were no shots in the most critical place, however, fuel leaks began to appear in the fuel tank.

Before the Zhong Kui fighters could pounce again, Lucius finally turned to the dive - the P-51's structure was not damaged, so as long as time was enough, it could still reach a high speed in the dive, and then it could use that speed to escape.

Of course, the dive of the Ki-44 "Zhong Kui" is also quite good, at least among Japanese fighters. Although the P-51's dive speed is higher than that of the "Zhong Kui", it is not easy to get rid of the Ki-44 by diving, especially when the ailerons are damaged, resulting in sluggish movements, and the opponent's initial speed is higher than his own, before the P-51's speed is fully exerted, it may be shot down by the enemy.

But his enemies did not pursue him. Because there are other, more threatening targets in the sky. Besides, in the eyes of the Japanese, the P-51 was badly damaged and it was unlikely that it would be able to fly back. And once you can't fly back, skydiving over such an endless tropical jungle is actually not very different from suicide.

Under the surprise attack of eight Ki-44s, the P-51, which was originally playing the role of a hunter, suddenly became the prey and suddenly became a mess, and in just a few minutes, four of the 18 P-51s were shot down and two were damaged.

Now, the situation has completely turned upside down. The Ki-44s that swooped down from a high altitude, with the high speed brought by the dive, quickly climbed to a high altitude that the P-51 could not keep up with after completing the attack, and then turned around with a sledgehammer and dived down again - this was an old trick used by the Americans to bully the Ki-43 with the P-51 a few times before, and now it was copied by the Japanese as it was, and then gave the Americans a "way to return the favor to the other".

……

There was silence in the combat command center of the 10th Air Force, except for the constant exclamations of exclamations from the radio equipment.

"Oh my God, he bit me......"

"Who's going to save me, help me get rid of him!"

"I've been hit, I've been hit!"

"Number 12, he's at six o'clock in you! He's at six o'clock in you! ”

"No. 7, skydive! ……”

Ron stood here, and he felt an indescribable bitterness in his mouth. Obviously, he was fooled and fell into the trap of the Japanese devils. All along, relying on his foresight of the performance of the fighters on both sides of the enemy, relying on the more scientific combat and tactical theories from later generations, and relying on the overwhelming superiority of national strength, he was almost invincible. This time, however......

Ron reached for the walkie-talkie, ready to use it to give the order for the remnants of the fighters to disperse in small groups to break out. The enemy's Ki-44 was not numerous enough to pursue so many targets, and the Ki-43 was too slow to pursue the P-51. In this way, the vast majority of P-51s should be able to get out without a hitch.

At that moment, a hand picked up the walkie-talkie at a faster and more decisive speed. Ron turned his head to see that it was General Bissel.

"I'm Bissel, I order, all fighters in the skies over Burma immediately concentrate at maximum speed towards the third sector! I order, the flying formations that have been thrown into battle must hold on to the battle, drag the enemy, destroy the enemy! Not a single enemy plane must be allowed to escape! ”

"General......" Ron looked at Bissel. These days, it has always been Ron who is directing the air battle, and General Bissel has been just watching from the sidelines, occasionally speaking, all of which are also expressing support for Ron's tactical decisions.

Bissel glanced at Ron, his eyes full of decisive murderous intent. He slowly pressed the output channel button of the walkie-talkie in his hand, and then turned to Ron.

"We can't withdraw, there are still six transport planes over there, and if we withdraw, they will suffer losses in vain. And, Ron, don't you think it's an opportunity? Now, there are a full 22 Japanese fighters in the air - almost all the strength that the 64th Sentai has been able to bring to its disposal after the last defeat. We also have 12 fighters there, and in the nearby airspace we have 4 more formations into which 16 aircraft can be thrown. In addition, according to the time, three formations of P-38s from the 14th Air Force were also about to reach the skies over Burma. No...... Don't try to argue with me, I know we're not in a good position right now and we're going to lose a lot before they arrive. But, as you said before, we can afford to lose, and the Japanese, we can't afford such losses! So, under no circumstances will I give up the opportunity to fight the Japanese! ”

Ron looked at the old man, who was always silent and smiling, as if he didn't know him very well. Yes, General Bissel at this time was almost like the one in Ron's previous impression.

"This is also an occasional appearance, right?" Throughout World War II, General Bissel did not perform well among American generals. However, Ron thought to himself, "If you throw away the things that I brought from the afterlife, I am really ...... compared to the way the generals did in the face of adversity"

"Ron, you don't have to blame yourself. In war, everyone will fall into the trap of others. General Bissel handed the walkie-talkie to Ron, "Now, I give you back the command—the warriors who are still trying to hold back the enemy need your guidance." We all count on you! ”
