In order to ambush the Japanese flying squadron that attacked Longzhou City, Hu Biao did put some thought into it. Originally, Hu Biao planned to send only the second squadron of the Eagle Strike Group, and the fighters piloted by the squadron were all Japanese fighters captured from the island earlier.

Hu Biao, who had only modified a few fighters and did not destroy the appearance and paint of the fighters, felt that letting the second squadron blend into the battlefield should be able to catch the little devils off guard. But after thinking about it in the end, he still didn't feel very safe.

Although he did not have much to do with the Japanese naval aviation, Hu Biao felt that the pilots who were eligible to be selected for the Navy should be more powerful than the flying squadron under his command in terms of time and aerial combat skills.

Together with the other two squadrons of the Eagle Strike Group, they all strongly requested to participate in this air battle. After some consideration, Hu Biao still decided to let the Eagle Strike Brigade attack. If you train in the mountains all day long, you can't train ace pilots.

Only by experiencing actual combat and even bloody battles can these rookie pilots become mature. Even if in the process of air combat, there will definitely be fighter planes falling or pilots dying, but if you want to build an iron-blooded air force, how can you do it without blood?

Without exception, the pilots who are qualified to fly fighter planes into the air for combat have all conducted actual formation flights and aerial combat drills. Even though Hu Biao didn't know much about air combat in his previous life, he knew the importance of flight formations and flight tactics.

Faced with hundreds of fighters that suddenly joined the battlefield, the Japanese fighter squadron, which had already clashed with the ground air defense forces several times, quickly realized that this was a conspiracy. What frightened them the most was that they were already surrounded.

As the captain of the Eagle Strike Brigade, Wu Haotian also knows very well that the pilots of the brigade are not opponents of the little devils at all in terms of the level of aerial fighting. Before setting off, Wu Haotian particularly stressed the tactic of strangling enemy planes in groups of two.

As the Eagle Strike Brigade joined the battlefield, the officers and men who were responsible for firing at the Japanese fighters on the air defense fortress covered with gunsmoke also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The guys of the Eagle Strike Brigade must fight for breath!" We've done our best! ”

Looking at the comrades-in-arms who had died beside them, most of the officers and men of the improvised air defense platoon felt a little sad. Even if they are used to life and death, who will feel good when they see their comrades-in-arms lying in a pool of blood?

"Don't be stunned, hurry up and clean up the battlefield and retreat! The rest of the battle was handed over to the Eagle Strike Brigade. Trust our comrades-in-arms, they will avenge us. These little devils' fighters will never be able to go back alive! ”

The fact is that, as the commander of the air defense platoon said, in the face of a large number of incoming fighters. Even though the Japanese pilots were experienced, after a few rounds of confrontation, many Japanese fighter pilots sadly found that they had run out of bullets.

"Yaga! It's a conspiracy! Damn, this is a trap set by the Chinese army! Breakout, breakout! Must break out! ”

The pilots of the Eagle Strike Brigade, who had previously struggled with the little devil fighters, saw the little devil fighters fleeing frantically, and also saw that the little devil fighters could no longer shoot bullets. Fools know that they should beat the water dogs at this time!

The enthusiastic Eagle Strike pilots immediately said: "Catch up!" Shoot down these damn little devil fighters! ”

The two squadrons responsible for outflanking set up a heavy air interception network in the airspace outside Longzhou City. Seeing the enemy planes trying to escape, the Wildcat fighters responsible for intercepting them surrounded them in groups of two.

The officers and men defending the city who stayed on the ground to watch the air battle would shout when they saw the enemy plane falling. Hu Biao, who was also standing on the top of the hill watching the battle, couldn't take his eyes off the fighters entangled in the air, and he still seemed a little worried in his heart.

Looking at his own fighter plane, Hu Biao also said worriedly: "These rabbit cubs, you must train them well when you go back." I have already explained to them that people are more important than fighters. At this time, don't you know how to skydive? ”

I know very well that these selected pilots are very fond of the fighters assigned to them. But in Hu Biao's view, compared with the fighter planes equipped for pilots, he prefers that when the fighters cannot be saved, the pilots can spare their lives to parachute.

Fortunately, in the process, the pilot who popped out of the cabin could be seen from time to time, and Hu Biao also said directly: "Quick!" Send someone to organize a rescue immediately, and be sure to rescue all the pilots who parachuted! Let's go! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

It is a pity that the fighter plane crashed, but for Hu Biao at this moment, all the fighters were purchased or captured. As long as there is money, the Meinian military industrial complex is happy to sell more fighters to Hu Biao. But a mature pilot needs time to grow.

It was precisely knowing this that Hu Biao would tell the pilots of the Eagle Strike Brigade that once they found that they could not control the hit fighter, they must parachute to save themselves before the fighter crashed. But some pilots seem to have forgotten this.

Fortunately, Hu Biao was a little relieved that more incoming Japanese fighters were shot down than his own fighters. Looking at the enemy planes that were shot down and crashed from time to time, Hu Biao and the task force members who watched the battle all had joyful expressions on their faces.

Sometimes regretful, sometimes excited, is the real mentality of many spectators at this moment. Even if there were enemy planes rushing out of the sky over Longzhou City, Hu Biao believed that the two squadrons responsible for intercepting them would definitely not let these fighters break out.

"Send a telegram to Lao Xu and ask him to organize people to extinguish those fires. If you find a surviving little devil pilot, be sure to capture him alive. Send a report to the reconnaissance squad and see where the Japanese infantry wing has been! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

After the two telegrams were sent, Xu Sandao quickly instructed his troops to start extinguishing the fires ignited by the crash of the fighters. Similarly, the garrison was tasked with rescuing and capturing pilots.

For such a task, the officers and soldiers defending the city who have seen an air battle are undoubtedly very active. As a second-line unit, most of the officers and men of the security regiment are afraid of such enemy planes that can launch attacks from the air.

Now that they saw that their troops had actually shot down enemy planes, they naturally felt very honored and proud. The officers and men of the security regiment, whose morale is high, naturally seem extremely active at this moment, hoping to do their part.

The first enemy plane to be shot down was the Japanese bomber that was waiting to carry out the bombing. Then the entire brigade began to encircle and suppress the Japanese fighters who were trying to escape. Up to the air, not a single enemy aircraft could be seen.

Looking at the fighters that were no longer in the formation, the pilots who had finally finished their first air battle had mixed feelings. Although they are happy to shoot down an enemy plane, they are extremely worried about the fate of their own fighters and pilots.

Wu Haotian, as the team leader, received a signal from the other two squadron leaders to 'end the battle', and quickly sent a signal to Hu Biao, who was watching the battle on the ground, to 'end the battle'. Receiving this signal, Hu Biao also knew what it meant.

After thinking about it, he said: "According to the predetermined plan, let the second squadron cooperate with the bomber formation to carry out surprise bombing of the incoming Japanese infantry wing." It's time for the little devils to taste what it's like to be bombed and shot by a fighter plane of their own making! ”

"Yes, wolfhead!"

Receiving the signal sent by Hu Biao, Wu Haotian piloted his Wildcat fighter and soon came to the airspace where the second squadron was assembled. The second squadron leader was given the command to 'continue the attack', and the second squadron leader also replied with a 'understood' gesture.

As the leader of the second squadron took the lead in reducing the flight altitude, he flew forward along the road outside Longzhou City. The bomber formation, which had been staying on the periphery of the battlefield, also quickly lowered its flight altitude and flew behind the fighter squadron.

Previously, in the air dogfight, bomber formations simply could not participate. Now that the 2nd Squadron is attacking again, it also means that it is their turn to play. Being able to drop a bomb on the head of the little devil, these pilots also felt extremely excited and anticipated.

The Japanese infantry wing that was marching had no idea of the air ambush battle that took place over Longzhou City, let alone that a catastrophe was about to be staged. Not to mention that the reinforcements invited were completely annihilated, but also to taste the taste of being bombed and airborne.

When the second squadron was about to follow up the mission, although the pilots of the other two squadrons also wanted to participate, Hu Biao had already explained that the remaining two squadrons were strictly forbidden to participate in the battle. The reason is simple, he needs to hide some strength.

The appearance of a large number of Wildcat fighters is bound to attract the attention of the Japanese army's special high school. But Hu Biao knew that at present, the aviation school in the capital of Yunnan Province is also equipped with many Wildcat fighters, which were built by the Meminian military in cooperation with the Nationalist government.

If the Japanese army learns of this news, they will inevitably suspect that these Wildcat fighters that appeared on the battlefield are likely to come from the aviation school in Yunnan Province. Confusing the reconnaissance line of sight of the Japanese army can also better protect the fighter group that has just been formed.

After flying some distance, the fighters of the 2nd Squadron soon spotted an infantry wing marching like a long snake on the road. Looking at the little devils waving and shouting on the road, the second squadron leader sneered: "Dive and strafe!" ”

Now that the target has been discovered, there is no need to be polite. As the pilot plane piloted by the second squadron leader fell headlong, the rest of the fighters dropped the nose one after another, aiming the muzzle of the machine gun on the road and the little devil who was still cheering on the road.

Many experienced little devil officers quickly realized that something was wrong with the situation when they saw these own fighters that began to dive. Just as they were about to shout 'Enemy aircraft, hide', the second squadron leader had already pressed the button for machine-gun strafing.

There was a roar of machine guns, and a string of machine gun bullets was fired into the ranks of the marching imps. Seeing this scene, the captain of the infantry wing who was staying in the car said with a confused expression: "Baga! Are these pilots crazy? ”

"Your Excellency, Captain, let's get out of the car quickly! These fighters look like something is wrong! ”

"Are all naval aviation blind? Why attack us! Baga, we invited them to attack the Chinese army! ”

Just as puzzled and angry as the captain of the infantry wing, there were also those little devils who were killed. Until death, I couldn't figure out why my own fighters would attack them. But they don't know that these so-called own fighters are actually enemy planes!
