Looking at the Japanese reconnaissance planes that had accelerated into the air and never returned, the officers and men defending the city who were watching this ambush were undoubtedly full of morale. As far as the officers and men of the anti-war forces are concerned, it can be said that there is no one who does not hate and hate the fighters of the little devils.

Compared with the encirclement and annihilation of an infantry brigade of the little devils, more officers and soldiers of the anti-war forces are more willing to see the scene of the little devils' planes. Since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, the anti-Japanese war troops who have lost air supremacy have suffered a lot under the air raids of the Japanese army.

The pilots of the Japanese reconnaissance planes, who were lucky enough to escape, did not dare to continue to reconnoiter over the city, although they were extremely angry. In the process of evading artillery fire, the Japanese pilots had already noticed that there were anti-aircraft artillery in the city.

If anti-aircraft machine guns could only deal with dive Japanese fighters, then anti-aircraft artillery undoubtedly had a much longer range. If you are not careful, if you are hit by an anti-aircraft shell, it is really possible for a little devil's thin-skinned fighter to be caught in the soul!

Just when the soldiers of the air defense platoon were a little regretful, Xu Sandao said with a smile: "Good job!" Don't be so frustrated, you've already beaten up a plane. Let it escape so that it can attract more planes! ”

"Captain, with this little air defense weapon we set up, if we really encounter a large number of little devil fighters, we will definitely not win!"

Don't look at the fact that a Japanese fighter plane has been shot down, but the air defense weapons really encountered a large number of fighters, and the air defense units on the ground suffered more. The officers and men responsible for operating air defense weapons are more or less clear about this reasoning.

Faced with the incomprehension of his officers and soldiers, Xu Sandao continued: "Of course I know this! In short, by shooting down a fighter, we have successfully completed our mission. Hurry up and reinforce the air defense positions.

If you wait for a large number of little devil fighters to attack, there is only one thing you have to do, and that is to deal with the little devil fighters as much as possible. It doesn't matter if you can hit it or not, the most important thing is to let the little devil fighter consume as much ammunition as possible.

When the little devil fighters finish the ammunition they carry, their bombers will definitely fly over and drop bombs. At that time, they all gave me to be clever and quickly hide in the air defense position. Leave the rest to the wolf's head! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

From Xu Sandao's words, it is not difficult to hear Hu Biao's idea of fighting the formation of little devil fighters. Although I can't figure it out for the time being, how Hu Biao will pit the little devil's fighter formation. But the hearts of the combat team members are still full of expectations.

The officers and soldiers defending the city who were in the defensive positions outside the city also saw the little devil fighters who were shot down and fled frantically. For the officers and soldiers of these security regiments who are sticking to Longzhou, they are also very worried about the next possible cannonballs falling from the sky.

If the air defense position is placed in the city, it can attract the fire of the little devil bombers, and then there will be fewer shells thrown on the defensive position. In the course of defensive operations, there is no air threat, and the fighters will be more confident.

When the surviving little devil reconnaissance plane finally flew safely to the rear airfield. Looking at the reconnaissance plane that was staggering to land, the Japanese pilots who were waiting for orders at the airport were also surprised: "That reconnaissance plane should be wounded!" ”

"Na? Anti-aircraft weapons of the Chinese army? This reconnaissance aircraft is not on the front line, right? ”

"Listening to the chief, it seems to be in the direction of Longzhou City. Wait, didn't two reconnaissance planes take off in the morning? And what about another one? ”

Just when these pilots began to talk, the pilot, who almost collapsed, was also helped off the plane by the ground crew. The pilot, who was lucky enough to escape, quickly informed the flight squadron on standby that there was anti-aircraft fire in Longzhou City.

"It seems that we need to be extra careful when we carry out the bombing mission later. It is indeed a bit surprising that the troops stationed in Longzhou actually have anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery. However, they will have to pay the price for shooting down our fighters! ”

The squadron leader, who was responsible for leading the team, did not feel any great difficulty after listening to the information brought back by the pilot of the reconnaissance plane. Unless the defenders deployed a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, it would be difficult to cope with the striking force of one of his squadrons.

After requesting a report, the flight squadron, which had been waiting for a long time, soon took off one after another under the guidance of ground crew. In addition to a number of fighters, the flight formation was accompanied by several bombers. Upon arrival, bombardment was launched on the defenders' positions or the city of Longzhou.

When these fighters crossed the sea and began to fly into the inland area toward Longzhou, the ground observation posts, which had been conducting air defense observation since early in the morning, soon discovered this formation of Japanese fighters at high altitude.

"Quick, report the situation immediately! These fighters should be heading for Longzhou City! ”

"Yes, Captain!"

With a number of ground air defense alert teams, they all monitored the flight formation of the little devils, and the warning telegram was soon sent to Hu Biao. Knowing that the Japanese army sent a squadron of fighters, Hu Biao also felt that his guess was basically correct.

Sending a flying squadron to deal with the defenders stationed in Longzhou City is also enough to see the importance that the little devil attaches to Longzhou City. The time of the arrival of the little devil fighters, and the speed at which the little devil infantry wing was moving, was not a long time apart.

Looking at the posture of the little devil, it should be that the flying squadron first wants to carry out a wave of aerial bombardment and strikes to boost the morale of the ground troops who are about to arrive. If the bombing effect is not good, the Japanese army will also send bombers over in the future.

It's just that from the perspective of time, Hu Biao thinks that the little devils should not send a second batch of fighters over today. Otherwise, when the bombing of these little devils is over, they will return to their rear airfield, I am afraid that it will already be night.

After taking a closer look at the map, Hu Biao quickly said: "Inform the Eagle Strike Brigade and let the fighters on standby take off immediately." The 2nd Squadron is the 1st Attack Group, and the 1st and 3rd Squadrons are responsible for coordination and support.

When you arrive at the battlefield, you will be on the side. Without receiving my order to attack, all fighters were not allowed to sort. Once the attack begins, the 1st and 3rd squadrons will be responsible for intercepting the Japanese fighters and be sure to shoot them all down! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

"Again, this is the first time that the Eagle Strike Brigade has conducted a real battle, and I hope they will not disappoint me! In addition, it is emphasized that in the course of the battle, if a fighter plane is hit, the pilot must parachute to save his life as soon as possible! ”

"Understood!"

Through procurement cooperation with the Menia side, Hu Biao has purchased dozens of new Wildcat fighters from the Menia side. In addition to fighter jets, Hu Biao also purchased more than a dozen bombers used by the Memenian military.

In general, at present, the valley airfield has been expanded several times on the basis of the original. Through manual excavation and transformation, Hu Biao expanded the valley airport a lot. Many of the mountains next to the runway have been almost hollowed out.

In order to avoid exposing the airport, Hu Biao also deliberately moved several nearby villages, so that outsiders could not figure out the specific location of the airport. After all, there are many valleys near the valley airport, and it is not easy to find out the airport.

Moreover, when Hu Biao built the airport, he thought about how to camouflage the airport. Except for the camouflage runway and the wooden airplanes at the adjacent airport, the real planes are all stored in the belly of the mountain.

Only during training time will the fighters be towed out of the hangar and then lifted off through the runway outside the hangar. The existence of real and fake airports can also maximize the guarantee of the attack of Japanese fighters, and it is impossible to judge the real location of the valley airfield.

In addition to the airport on the Xilong side, Hu Biao has already started to secretly build an airport in a mining site in the colony. It is believed that it will not be long before the Eagle Strike Group will be able to have two airfields, train more pilots and add more fighters.

Even if the purchase of these fighters still has fuel, it will cost Hu Biao a lot of money. But the wealth earned in the past is enough to support these expenses for the time being. It should be easier for the Air Force than to build a full-fledged navy.

Since receiving the telegram last night, Wu Haotian, who was promoted to team leader, has been waiting for Hu Biao's take-off order. All fighters are serviced early in the morning, filled with fuel and ammunition, and ready to take to the skies at any time.

All the selected pilots waited quietly at the airport, waiting for the moment when the sirens sounded. As time passed, the pilots in the airport seemed a little anxious.

Several squadron leaders even said after a while: "Captain, haven't you sent a telegram yet?" Would you like to send a telegram asking for help? ”

"Please tell what? The wolf head said that if there is a combat mission today, he will send us a telegram. If not, then let's stay on standby. I know you're in a hurry, but I'm also in a hurry. No matter how urgent you are, you can't ignore orders, right? ”

While anxiously waiting, Wu Haotian went to the telegraph room from time to time. Even the officers in charge of receiving the telegrams at the airport looked at these captains and squadron leaders, and they looked a little crying and laughing, but it was not easy to drive these people out.

Every time the radio sounded, it attracted the attention of these officers. Hearing that it was not an order to attack, everyone would be a little frustrated. Seeing that the time was approaching the afternoon, Wu Haotian and the others felt that they might not be able to wait for the order to attack today.

At this moment, there was another buzzing sound from the radio, and the officer in charge of receiving the telegram listened for a while and said: "Captain, it's a telegram from the wolf's hair!" Be quiet, let me receive the telegram first! ”

Hearing that it was a telegram from Hu Biao, Wu Haotian and the others screamed excitedly. The communications officer who was noisy inevitably turned around and said a word, and Wu Haotian and the others instantly quieted down and quietly waited for the communications officer to receive the telegram.

After the telegram was received, the communications officer quickly translated it, and then said: "Captain, the wolf head ordered, the Eagle Strike Brigade began to Eagle Strike the sky!" This is the full text, please sign for it by the captain! ”

"Pull the alarm! All pilots, board now and get ready to take to the skies! ”

"Yes! Captain! ”

The squadron leader who followed Wu Haotian and waited in the telegraph room ran outside to let people sound the air defense siren. All the pilots on standby rushed out of the dormitory as soon as possible and began to run towards the hangar, and one fighter plane after another began to be pulled out of the hangar.

The runway, which had been cleared in advance, began to be filled with fighter planes. After Wu Haotian replied to the telegram and found the three squadron leaders to explain, these fighters began to soar into the sky, preparing to strike the sky for the first time!
