Undoubtedly, not to mention the performance of the aircraft, the two-plane formation with wingman auxiliary long planes has an advantage over the single Japanese planes that have already fought separately.

Fighters from both sides chased each other for 20 or 30 kilometers, and some fighters flew all the way to the front line of Niangzi Pass, killing from an altitude of 3,000 meters to 1,000 meters, 800 meters, or even 600 meters lower, and waging a life-and-death struggle under the noses of tens of thousands of Chinese and Japanese officers and men facing each other on the ground.

On the battlefield, there were bursts of mountain shouts and tsunamis.

"Victory, victory!" It was the voice of the Chinese soldiers.

Even the most stupid people know that this air battle is the upper hand of the Chinese Air Force, not to mention, a minute later, in front of their eyes, two Japanese planes with red sun tails were beaten into thick smoke, and after the pilot parachuted, they crashed into the cliff and exploded into a ball of fire.

In front of tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers, from east to west, just like the formation formed by the 24 Japanese planes at the beginning, two fighters were lined up in a horizontal column and two rows were in a column, and two 12.7 mm machine guns on the nose and two 7.6 mm machine guns on the wings were aimed at the Japanese position in front of Niangziguan, and the whole plowed over again.

The little devils of the 78th Infantry Wing of the Japanese Army, who had been dumbfounded, hid in the field trenches and did not even dare to risk their heads.

And then they were in the "Chinese Air Force, long live!" The wings shook in the tsunami, expressing their salute to the Chinese Army, pulling up the nose of the plane and jumping again to a thousand meters in the air, drawing an arc to the east.

Although they used up precious fuel, they also used up all their ammunition and lightened their loads, which was not a violation of military orders. This is the only way for these "Aviation Volunteers" to show their respect for their people.

From the sky, they could see very clearly, as far as the eye could see, the Chinese positions were scorched and black, full of shell craters, but countless Chinese soldiers were still holding their positions, just like they saw on the meat grinder battlefield in Songhu.

Although they have lived in this country for no more than a year, this group of soldiers who have sworn to defend the country and the nation have used their performance to let them know that the battle they participated in to defend their mother clan thousands of miles away is the most correct choice they have made in this life.

Just like their comrades who left a suicide note before rushing to the battlefield said: Dear father and mother, the battle is about to begin, I may die, but I will not be afraid, I will only be proud, proud to fight side by side with these comrades with black hair, black glasses and yellow skin like me, and die proudly with them. Because, I finally know why my Chinese nation can last for thousands of years without extinction, because of them. If I die in battle, please don't grieve, please tell your brothers and sisters, you must return to this land in your lifetime to see, our mother race with a strong backbone and soul will one day rise on this planet, and at that time, they can proudly say to any race that we are a Chinese race.

Through this war, the Chinese young men who suffered humiliation and discrimination abroad deeply understood that Liu Lang clenched his fists and said to them firmly before leaving the American continent: dignity does not depend on how much money there is, but how hard his fists are.

Even if they are as powerful as the Japanese invaders, now, they can only tremble and cry under their machine guns.

Because of the weakness of the Chinese Air Force, the Japanese army, including the standing divisions and regiments that were not indispensable in combat effectiveness, were not equipped with sufficient anti-aircraft firepower. Far inferior to those Chinese who they looked down on but dared to shoot Czech light machine guns against the air and Japanese planes at the cost of their lives.

Yoshito Takagi, who was hiding in the brigade headquarters in the mountains and forests, watched all this with a telescope, and was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood. But he did not dare to order the 26th Artillery Wing to launch an artillery bombardment against the Chinese who were cheering higher than the wave on the position.

He was really afraid that the artillery positions would be exposed and discovered by the Chinese planes and suffer a catastrophe, God knows if the Chinese planes that seemed to fly away still have extra ammunition, in case such a few were thrown at the artillery positions, then he would really cry.

Without artillery, if tens of thousands of Chinese attack him, don't say that he has only one and a half wings under him, even if there are three or four wings, he will not dare to say that he will win.

His Excellency Major General Yoshito Takagi only hopes that the Chinese planes will find trouble with the 40th Infantry Brigade and not come to fight him. As for why the imperial fighters lost in this air battle and how the Chinese planes arrived at the Niangziguan battlefield, that is not something that his small brigade commander can manage, but His Excellency Kawagishi Bunzaburo Division Commander and His Excellency General Terauchi Shouichi should worry about.

He couldn't worry about the battlefield dozens of miles away, which should be the battlefield of the 40th Infantry Brigade that carried out the roundabout strategy of His Excellency the division commander. Even, not to mention worrying, Takagi Yoshito is still a little happy, if they encounter stubborn resistance from the Chinese there, at least it means that Yamashita Fengfumi guy is just talking on paper. The so-called roundabout attack is just a stupid idea, it is better to listen to his advice, concentrate the main forces of the division and regiment to carry out a breakthrough on the frontal battlefield of Niangzi Pass, and use the superior forces of the division and regiment to carry out the most powerful blow to the Chinese, as long as the main forces of the Chinese are annihilated at Niangzi Pass, Taiyuan in Shanxi is just like a fish on the chopping block, which is at your fingertips.

It can be said that Kawagishi Bunzaburo received the news of the defeat of the front-line air force of the Chinese Air Force, not from the front line of Shichitsumura but from Takagi Yoshito on the battlefield of Niangziguan, and the somewhat confused Japanese lieutenant general did not slow down for 30 seconds.

Here, how can there be Chinese fighters? In addition to the airport in Taiyuan, there is Yangmingbao in Shanxi, which the Japanese army has occupied, but the intelligence sent by the Japanese spies in Taiyuan shows that there are not a large number of warplanes dispatched, to be precise, there are not many military planes that can be used at that airport, and the old-fashioned biplane reconnaissance plane dares to fly to the battlefield is a plate of snacks for the 38th Air Wing.

However, there was no way that Yoshito Takagi could have deceived him in this matter, as evidenced by the fact that thousands of Imperial Army troops witnessed two 38th Air Wing fighters crashing into the mountains of Shanxi, China, and that the four Chinese fighters swaggered and bombed the infantry positions before flying away after destroying their own planes.

The angry Japanese lieutenant general almost didn't bite his back molars, it didn't matter who won the air battle, even if all 24 fighters in the two squadrons were finished, it didn't matter, although it was impossible. He was concerned about the 40th Infantry Brigade, which was besieged by more than 10,000 "Tubalu", and the 40th Infantry Brigade, which had more than 6,300 people, must not be overly damaged.

However, it may be because the signal in the mountainous area is too poor, no matter how much the division headquarters calls, there is no response from the 40th Infantry Brigade.

On the one hand, he reported to the North China Dispatch Army Headquarters that a large number of Chinese fighters had appeared in the Shanxi Theater and asked them to find out the source of the planes, and on the other hand, he telegraphed an infantry brigade and two heavy squadrons of the Heavy Wing that were preparing to depart from Jingxian County, raising the reinforcement strength to one infantry brigade and four heavy squadrons, with a total strength of 3,000 men and nearly one infantry wing.

Kawagishi Bunzaburo naturally has a reason for doing this. The 20th Division has a baggage wing of 3,400 people, a total of 6 baggage squadrons, each of which has more than 500 people, and two baggage squadrons are equivalent to an infantry brigade.

Don't think that the Japanese army's baggage soldiers are scum, in fact, in the Japanese army's division sequence, all the soldiers of the infantry brigade who were damaged in battle were replenished from the baggage wing, and their combat effectiveness was not weak at all.

In the first battle of Pingxingguan, the 115th Division faced two baggage squadrons in the two baggage wings, numbering more than 1,000 people.

Kawagishi Fumizaburo, who sent the equivalent of three infantry brigades to supplement the 40th Infantry Brigade, was not only to rescue the 40th Infantry Brigade, but also to increase the roundabout troops to 9,000 people, so that he could break through the rear flank of Niangzi Pass in one fell swoop and outflank tens of thousands of Chinese troops on the front line of Niangzi Pass.

To put it bluntly, in the hearts of the lieutenant generals of the Japanese army, although the defeat of the air force was very bad, it could never be said to be a catastrophe, even if there were no planes, the 9,000-step artillery was completely an existence that could walk sideways on the land of China.

Except for crabs, there is no other creature that can compare them figuratively.

In just a few minutes, because of the air battle, the deployment of the Japanese 20th Division changed again. But air combat doesn't stop because people on the ground are in different moods.

Zhou Dapeng led the wingman piloted by Chen Buping to chase a Japanese plane.

This is definitely a cunning opponent, in the second 3000-meter-high altitude two aircraft formation hedged against each other in the battle, Zhou Dapeng paid attention to him, it was he who made a row of bullet holes in the plane of the deputy captain of the 2nd squadron nicknamed "Pipe" with the number 009, including the cockpit glass cover, if it were not for the armor of the cockpit was strong enough, Zhou Dapeng estimated that the "pipe" would not have the opportunity to continue to brag with the big guy with a cigarette butt.

And he himself, at a relative speed of up to 900 kilometers per hour, not only hit the opponent, but also cleverly used the wing flutter to make the high-speed aircraft have a slight trajectory change, so as to avoid the vital point, several crazy 12.7mm armor-piercing incendiary bombs fired at him only pierced through his fuselage skin, but did not cause damage to his engine fuel tank, including the cockpit and other vital parts.

Absolute ace pilot.

When he led 6 Japanese planes back to the battlefield again, after a two-minute struggle with Zhou Dapeng, and finally began to flee under the cooperation of the two planes, Zhou Dapeng was even more sure that this was not only the ace pilot of the Japanese army, but also one of the strongest opponents he encountered after entering the Chinese battlefield.

Not only is the flying skill excellent, but the most rare thing is the extreme tenacity of the fighting will.

In several hedging struggles, he had several chances to lock on to his plane and destroy it, but he either had a desperate Saburo-style shooting that made Zhou Dapeng, who did not want the fighter plane damaged, helpless to dodge, or he dived to a low altitude and was too close to the Chinese position.

But now, taking advantage of the wingman Chen Buping's plane to attract all his attention, Zhou Dapeng, who made a small radius turn maneuver in the low altitude and rushed back to the sky, finally came to his back, occupied the most advantageous position, and began the final pursuit.

I recommend the new history book "Fool Tianzi" again, and book friends who like history can collect it and raise a seedling. It is indeed not easy for a newcomer to be authored, and Fengyue also has a deep understanding! It was his honor to have such a hardcore reader.
