After our landing ship fleet approached Taiwan's defense zone, Li Kai led nine fighters of his squadron into the sky like arrows from the string. A battle formation was formed over the landing fleet, and the escort fleet advanced toward the waters of Penghu. Soon the Air Police 2000 early warning plane sent an early warning message, "It has been discovered that 12 enemy planes have taken off from Taiwan's Chiayi Airport and are moving in the direction of our fleet, and they are ready to meet the enemy." Li Kai did not dare to be ambiguous at this time, but below were 10 LST1 amphibious tank landing ships, five fire support ships, and 10 landing ships behind, a total of more than 30,000 PLA officers and men. He immediately reported the position of the six B-25 bombers of the Kuomintang to the six MiG-15s of his squadron, and ordered the six MiG-15s to quickly throw away the auxiliary fuel tanks, occupy the altitude, and contract one B-25 bomber for each MiG-15 change, and never allow the enemy's bombers to get close to the sky above the fleet. After talking about Hetianye, Liu Chuang piloted three J-10s, increased the throttle and took the lead to meet the enemy, and he had to intercept the enemy plane outside the fleet cordon. In order to avoid the detection of Taiwan's radar, they flew the J-10 at an ultra-low altitude and quietly advanced towards the target. At a distance of 100 km from the enemy aircraft, they suddenly pulled up their fighters and launched a surprise attack on 6 F-47N Thunder fighters.

Li Kai glanced at the multi-functional color display and found that the enemy planes were also forming a long and one flirtatious attack formation, and both of them met them. At this time, the enemy planes also received a report that three enemy planes had been spotted in front of Taiwan's ground-based radar. When they were searching nervously, when they saw three communist planes in front, they found that the other side had a high advantage. Li Kai and the others found that the enemy planes had entered their own firing range, they pulled down the helmet sights, turned on the digital mission computer, condescendingly and quickly caught the target to be attacked, and constantly pressed the launch buttons of the rocket nest and the cannon, one after another 57 mm rockets, a string of 23 mm cannon tracer bullets, constantly cutting and decomposing one enemy plane, less than half a minute three J-10 to send six F-47N Thunder fighters into the sea below.

At this time, their apprentices also caught up. Li Kai and the others spread out to the wings to guard their apprentices, and the six MiG-15 changes were like falcons rushing towards their targets. Li Kai saw that the No. 104 fighter, which had not been shot down by an enemy plane last time and was still injured, took the lead in attacking the B-25 bomber he had contracted. This time, the 104 driver fully summed up the lessons of the last time, did not rush so fiercely, and was not so eager to open fire. Instead, in the process of diving, his eyes were firmly fixed on the scope, stabilizing the plane, and when the enemy plane entered the center of the scope's ten, he decisively pressed the gun button. I saw three strings of red tracer bullets fired together at the B-25 bomber that I had shared. Hit! This B-25 bomber, the junction between the right wing and the fuselage emitted billowing smoke, and the black-gray fuselage made a series of sideways rolls in the air, and rushed towards the sea below with thick smoke and flames. Fighter No. 104 finally defeated himself and avenged the wound of his beloved mount last time. At the same time, he also drew the first red star for his own fighter.

At this time, other MiG-15 fighters also seized the B-25 bombers assigned to their own names, and all the enemy planes that came to intercept our fleet were annihilated.

During the two-minute battle, these six trainees completed their contracted tasks well and shot down six Kuomintang B-25 bombers. Add luster to your fighter and add a veritable red star.

The landing fleet of our army below saw its 9 warhawks annihilate 12 Kuomintang planes in one fell swoop, and there were no casualties of their own. Inspired. They jumped on deck cheering for their own Air Force! Cheer for yourself! The complete victory of the air force greatly boosted the morale of the commanders and fighters of the navy. When they saw their warhawks flying in formation over their fleet, they felt extremely relieved, and they felt that they had such a powerful air force to escort themselves and make their strong backing, and they also felt that an invisible force was supporting them, and they felt that they were even more powerful, which greatly enhanced the confidence of the commanders and fighters of the landing fleet below in defeating the enemy.

Subsequently, two J-7 Flying Leopard fighters launched a fierce attack on the four destroyers and five gunboats of the 1st Squadron of the Coast Guard Group that came to intercept our fleet. First of all, the four destroyers of the "Tai" were bombed with submunitions, disarming them on the deck, and then the five gunboats of the Coast Guard were attacked with rockets and 23-mm cannons. Except for the destroyer "Tai'an" and two gunboats, which were sunk in an attempt to escape, the rest hoisted white flags to indicate the cessation of resistance. They saw that the communist planes had been circling over them, and the short but accurate attack just now had knocked them out of their minds, and they stopped honestly in place, lest any of their actions annoy the two fierce and strange planes above. They watched in amazement as the three ships, which were smoking, heavily tilted, slowly sank into the raging sea. Forty minutes later, two frigates of the Chinese Navy carrying 300 PLA officers and men came to surrender. Three hundred PLA officers and men boarded these white-flagged Kuomintang ships one after another, disarmed them, and under the escort of them and a frigate of our navy, they formed a sailing formation and sailed towards Guangzhou, where these Kuomintang officers and men were reorganized by the PLA, and the wounded ships were repaired there, and they would become part of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy.

At 16 o'clock, the 12 F-47N Thunder fighters stationed at Magong Airport on Penghu Island had not yet taken off urgently, and they were killed by 2 J-10 and 6 250-3 aircraft sub-carrier bombs, which were blown up with thousands of holes and directly paralyzed on the tarmac.

At the same time, 6 J-7 Flying Leopard fighters swept across the sea, suddenly pulled up, and then rushed to Penghu Island, 6 J-7 Flying Leopard fighters were divided into three groups, the two planes jumped, began to climb rapidly into the sky, and in turn in the air, the weapons crew in the rear engine room quickly turned on the fire control system, searched for enemy target fortifications, calculated the attack distance, and reached the attack height in just a dozen seconds, and then began to dive together, everything was like flowing water, like a hungry eagle pounced, roaring down to Magong City, to the TW Kuomintang Army, Navy and Air Force, The Penghu Defense Command was set up in Magong City, and the military head organs of the port command, the air force combat command, the artillery command, the regional communications command, the logistics command, and the Gongbeishan wartime command post carried out fierce air strikes. "Launch!" At the sound of the order, I saw the flickering fires on both sides of the fuselage of the Jian-7 Flying Leopard fighter, and one after another aviation rockets were whistling towards the various military heads of the army, navy, and air force stationed in Magong City, and then threw several 250-kilogram napalm downwards, and suddenly the Kuomintang army, navy, air force, artillery, logistics headquarters, and the wartime command post in Gongbei Mountain turned into a sea of fire. This beheading operation completely paralyzed the command function of the Kuomintang command organ in the Penghu Islands. At the same time, the J-7 Flying Leopard fighters carried out a wave of fierce bombing of the air defense positions, artillery positions, divisions of the 83rd Infantry Division and the 73rd Tank Group of the Army, regimental command posts and troop concentration areas, and dozens of 250-3 aircraft sub-carrier bombs. Immediately, the command posts of the 83rd Infantry Division and the 73rd Tank Group, the air defense positions and artillery positions were full of holes and wounds, the "thunder" in the air was deafening, and the Penghu Island, which was several tens of kilometers away, was in flames and smoke.

At 16:10, the 10 LST1 landing ships and five 10,000-ton fire support ships of the First Marine Division of the PLA Navy arrived in the southeast of Penghu Island, the sea area from Locking, Ligang to Longmen Village, after an eight-hour voyage. Wan Jun, commander of the 1st Marine Division, stood on the landing ship of the "Jiefang No. 1" and looked at Penghu Island with a telescope, comparing the Penghu Island in the sand table with the Penghu Island in front of him, which covers an area of 64 square kilometers at long tide and 79 square kilometers at low tide, making it the largest island in the Penghu archipelago. Magong City is located in the western part of the island. The commanding heights of the island are: Gongbei Mountain 52 meters, Taiwu Mountain 46 meters, Shamao Mountain 45 meters, Kuibi Mountain 34 meters. The coastline is 114 kilometers long, with a tortuous coast and dense offshore reefs, and many steep cliffs along the coast that are not suitable for landing. Only the coastline from Suogangli Harbor to Longmen Village is the most suitable for landing, it is about 10 kilometers long, it is a mixed beach of sand and gravel, and the width of the low-tide beach is 150~300 meters, which is the best place for landing. It was here that Ben occupied the Penghu Islands and landed here. It is now three hours before the high tide, and it is the best time to make landfall. Now the beach is less than 100 meters wide. Wan Jun moved his telescope to Gongbei Mountain, the highest peak on Penghu Island, where thick smoke and fire raged, and the entire sky over Magong City was also covered in smoke, which he knew was the after-effects of the Air Force's decapitation operation. Wan Jun looked at his watch and ordered the 1st Marine Division to prepare for the landing. He was full of confidence in this landing, and before landing on Penghu Island, the 1st Marine Division conducted many drills on the coast of Guangdong and Fujian in the terrain similar to the southeast of Penghu Island, and these drills were aimed at perfecting the timing of the landing ships and the details of each landing.

At this time, there was a sudden thunderous sound in the rear, the earth was trembling violently, and an orange light flashed over the entire fleet, and the sound of 30 122 mm 40-tube "Tempest" rocket artillery shells on our support ships merged into a symphony of steel, and the battle to liberate Penghu Island finally began!
