readx; At this time, he understood why Chiang Kai-shek knew that he could not do it, and insisted on expending his limited air force in the sky over Wuhan, instead of continuing to hide in the snow - in the face of his compatriots and the people being constantly slaughtered by the Kou, what kind of heart was needed to be able to hold back and not act!

After thinking about it, Gao Fei finally made up his mind to send his own air force and asked the pilots to shoot down as many bombers as they could, only these things are the most serious threat to Fujian!

On 10 April, the replenished aircraft carrier squadron launched another air raid on Fuzhou, and the arrogant Syrian army, based on past experience, believed that China no longer had fighter planes, so it did not dispatch fighter escorts to send live targets to the Fujian pilots who were fighting for the first time.

At 8:20 a.m., 18 "Type 96" bombers took off from the aircraft carrier, quickly crossed the coastal islands, flew west along the Min River, and arrived in the eastern suburbs of Fuzhou at about 9 o'clock.

The air defense watchtowers arranged on the coastal islands had already transmitted the alarm to Fuzhou, and the residents of the city quickly ran to the air-raid shelters to take cover, and the artillerymen on the air-defense positions stood quietly beside the antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns, waiting for the arrival of the enemy planes. At the same time, twenty-four fighters took off from the airfield in the western suburbs of Fuzhou, flew straight west, and then divided into two teams, circled in a large circle in the air, turned around and flew towards the Taiwan Strait, preparing to outflank the enemy's rear route.

At 10 p.m., enemy planes flew over the city of Fuzhou, and the sound of intensive fire from antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns suddenly sounded in the sky, and the air defense positions deployed around opened fire in echelons, and shells and bullets were woven into a dense network of fire in mid-air, firmly blocking the way of enemy planes.

Apparently the anti-aircraft fire on the ground was so ferocious, and after hastily dropping the bomb, the army immediately turned around and prepared to flee back to the aircraft carrier. Fujian's fighter was copied from the Type 281 fighter produced by the Boeing Company of the United States, and although its fixed landing gear was changed to a retractable landing gear, it was still far from the "Type 96" fighter equipped with the military in terms of its overall ability, but it was still more than enough to deal with bombers.

Relying on their skillful flying skills and rich combat experience, the bomber pilots took the initiative to challenge the young Fujian Air Force, and dozens of planes from both sides fought viciously over Gushan, and the planes chased and shot at each other, flipped up and down, and hit from an altitude of 5,000 meters to a place only a few hundred meters above the ground, and the scene was magnificent.

The air battle lasted for 15 minutes, 12 Japanese bombers were shot down, five pilots were captured, and although the Fujian Air Force also lost one plane, the pilots successfully parachuted, and it can be said that they won a complete victory!

The joy of victory quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Fuzhou City, and then spread through telegraph and radio throughout the whole province of Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangxi, and other areas controlled by the Fourth War Zone, and more than 20 million people cheered and rejoiced. The next day, 10,000 people marched and rallied in Fuzhou, Xiamen, Zhangzhou, Longyan, Quanzhou and other major cities to celebrate the great victory in the air. This great victory in the air greatly boosted the morale of the army and the people, and also further stimulated the enthusiasm of the anti-Japanese war.

The naval air force, which had suffered heavy losses, was shocked by the strong combat strength of the Fujian Air Force, and the aircraft carrier formation quickly retreated 200 nautical miles, and then urgently transferred dozens of fighters of the "Sasebo" Second Air Force from the mainland to deal with the Fujian Air Force.

At 9 o'clock on April 15, the Chinese army dispatched 24 fighters to cover 12 bombers, and marched to Fuzhou in a mighty way.

The Fujian Air Force scored an astonishing record in the first air battle, which doubled the confidence of the people of Fuzhou; although the air defense alarm had been sounded long ago, many citizens still disregarded their own safety and turned their necks east to look east at the airspace where our fighters were meeting the enemy in order to show solidarity and concern.

At 10:10 a.m., 24 fighters of the 1st Fighter Squadron, which had just been transferred from Longyan, took to the air first to meet the Yue Army head-on, and the 3rd Squadron in Fuzhou immediately took off to outflank the rear of the Yue Army from the side.

In the face of the young Fujian Air Force, the experienced fighters of the Yue army quickly spread out in the air, forming a cascading pagoda shape, so that the nose of each plane was facing the front, and would not be blocked by friendly planes, and the firepower was concentrated to the maximum.

According to the predetermined plan, the planes of the first squadron divided into two groups in the air, one group of six planes pursued the bombers of the Japanese army who were dropping bombs, and the rest of the fighters rushed to the Japanese army at full speed and fearlessly penetrated straight into the center of the Japanese army's position.

Wu Weiguo pulled the throttle stick suddenly, and the fighter plane suddenly rushed out like a cannonball, and the two machine guns sprayed countless bullets at the same time, forming a long line of fire in the air, and the other three fighters killed him side by side. At the same time, more than a dozen planes counterattacked with all their might, and a dense stream of bullets whizzed past the top of the plane.

Under the impact of the four planes, the three-dimensional position suddenly collapsed, and the enemy planes immediately scattered in all directions, quickly dividing into two groups, one of which was engaged with the opposing party, and the other went around to the flank to sneak attack.

Wu Weiguo bit an enemy plane to the death, and fired closely behind him, and dense bullets flew by the opponent's side from time to time. In order to get rid of the passive situation, the military pilot suddenly pulled up the nose of the plane and climbed straight into the air, and Wu Weiguo immediately pulled the longitudinal rod, and the plane followed with a roar.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Weiguo opened fire again, and the bullets wrenched the cockpit of the enemy plane into pieces in an instant, and broke its tail, and the unbalanced plane barely flew a few hundred meters before tumbling and falling to the ground.

The smile on Wu Weiguo's face had not faded, and dozens of machine-gun bullets hit the left wing of the plane one after another, and the outermost point, about one meter long, immediately broke off from the middle and flew out flutteringly, and the plane immediately shook.

Wu Weiguo violently grabbed the longitudinal pole, took the opportunity to roll to the left, got rid of the pursuit of the enemy plane, and then rushed straight towards the enemy plane from behind. A few seconds later, the propeller of the plane finally hit the wing of the enemy plane according to his will, and the wings several meters long immediately snapped, and the plane fell straight down like a stone, and the pilot disappeared from view without even having a chance to parachute. The propeller on the right side of Wu Weiguo's own plane was seriously deformed in the impact and stopped rotating, and the plane kept shaking in the air, like a drunken drunk, and the altitude quickly decreased, and finally regained control when it was less than 500 meters above the ground, and successfully landed in a rice field.

Although the air force fighters worked hard, the battle situation gradually tilted in favor of the Japanese army because of the huge gap between the aircraft and the pilots' technical experience, and at this time, they fought and retreated in accordance with the established tactics, gradually attracting the enemy's fighter group to the air defense position, and then suddenly lowered the altitude to expose the enemy planes, and then quickly pounced on the Japanese bomber group.

In the blink of an eye, the fire snakes swept across the sky, encircling the enemy planes in the middle of the dense fire net, and with a tight explosion, huge fireballs burst out in the middle of the group of planes, and then scattered in all directions, and by the time the military fighters rushed out of the fire net, five fighters had already been torn apart by artillery fire.

As the fighter group was preparing to pursue our troops and save the bombers from a disadvantaged position, the 3rd Squadron, which was lying in ambush on the flank, pounced on the enemy planes and entangled them so that they could not get out.

Under the ferocious attack of the superior fighters, eight bombers were shot down one after another, and the remaining four immediately fled.

During the half-hour air battle, the air force fighters shot down a total of eight bombers and nine fighters, and they lost eight fighters.

Obviously, there is a considerable gap between the Fujian Air Force and the Fujian Naval Air Force, and this also indicates that the air battles in the future will be even more tragic.

To be sure, the results achieved by the Fujian Air Force in the '410' air battle were of considerable gold content: The Air Force, which had only been in the army for a few months, flew fighters whose surnames were far inferior to those of its opponents, and fearlessly challenged the experienced, well-equipped, and well-trained naval aviation units.

This was indeed unexpected by the top military leaders, including Gao Fei, and also took the commander of the naval aviation of the aircraft carrier squadron by surprise, and immediately regarded the Fujian Air Force as an evenly matched opponent.

At half past eight o'clock in the morning of 15 April, air defense sirens sounded again over the urban area of Fuzhou, which had been silent for several days, and at the same time, eight "Type 96" carrier-based bombers, escorted by 12 "Type 96" carrier-based fighters, quickly crossed the coastal islands at an altitude of 2,000 meters and cruising at a speed of 300 kilometers per hour and pounced.

The 18 fighters at the Fuzhou airfield took off at a rapid pace, and after the formation was completed in the air, they rushed straight to the east to meet the fighters of the Chinese army.

The bombers of the army looked at the group of fighters that were rushing towards them, hurriedly dropped their bombs, and then quickly climbed into the air, and before being hit by the opponent's machine guns, they turned around and fled towards the Taiwan Strait, while the other fighters suddenly accelerated and killed the opponent's formation, and dozens of fighters immediately became entangled in the air!

In accordance with the established tactics, the Chinese Air Force tried its best to quietly lead the enemy planes to the air defense position, but what they did not expect was that the cunning army had already learned the lesson of the last setback, never dared to lower its altitude, and after a fierce battle of more than 10 minutes, fled eastward in panic.

The Chinese Air Force, which had been greatly confident, followed closely behind, and pursued fiercely all the way, shooting down two enemy planes in succession, and by this time, the two sides had already come to the sky above the strait.

The premeditated fighters immediately accelerated en masse, raising their speed to the limit in just a few seconds, and the group swept forward at a high speed of 420 kilometers, leaving the Chinese fighters far behind. The Chinese fighters that had lost their targets were preparing to return home, when 20 Chinese fighters hidden in the middle of the clouds suddenly came out and launched an attack from top to bottom, while the group of fighters acting as decoys circled a 10-kilometer radius in the air, and then outflanked them from the left and right flanks and firmly surrounded the opponent.

At the same time, the bomber group of the Chinese army, which had pretended to be leaving, circled in a very huge circle over the strait, once again broke into the urban area of Fuzhou along the mouth of the Minjiang River, and fired indiscriminately at the ground air defense positions, and then braved the dense antiaircraft fire and machine-gun bullets to dive and strafe in turn, vowing to completely destroy them.

As the political and economic center of Fujian and the heart of the Fourth Theater, Fuzhou has the highest intensity and density of anti-aircraft firepower in the province; in the face of a surprise attack by enemy planes, it fearlessly and fiercely counterattacked, forming more than a dozen huge firepower networks in the airspace of more than 10 square kilometers, firmly encircling the bomber group of the Chinese army. Deafening explosions rang out in the air and on the ground, and thick smoke rose from the city and slowly drifted into the sky; Anti-aircraft shells exploded in mid-air with countless white salutes, while the hit Yue army fighter plane exploded into a huge fireball that flashed with dazzling brilliance.

Although the bomber group dropped all the bombs, it did not achieve the expected goal, and the anti-aircraft fire on the ground did not show signs of weakening, but became more violent, and after losing the third plane, the army finally could not bear it anymore and turned around and withdrew from the battle.

After falling into the trap carefully designed by the Japanese army, the four fighters flying in front accelerated with all their might, and while firing fiercely, they collided straight into the oncoming enemy planes.

In the face of the Chinese Air Force's frantic tactics that did not hesitate to end up together, the fighters hurriedly rolled out to the sides, vacated the position in the middle, and then attacked from the two wings to the middle, and at the moment of passing by, they sprayed out dense bullets, making a series of bullet holes in the fuselage, and the engines of the two planes were hit, billowing smoke, quickly breaking away from the formation, and staggering to the sea. One of them regained its balance less than 100 meters from the water surface, and quickly turned around and flew towards the mainland, and the other one fell to about 500 meters, and when the other plane fell to about 500 meters, a fire appeared on the wing, which immediately turned into a raging fire, but in order to save the plane as much as possible, the pilot gave up the opportunity to parachute, and stubbornly pulled the longitudinal rod, hoping to restore balance, and finally when it was 20 meters above the water, the fuselage was crooked and planted straight into the sea. Because of the resistance of the seawater, the plane with a huge habitual surname turned over on the water surface, but the thrusters were still rotating at high speed, setting off a water column more than ten meters high on the water surface, and at the bottom of the water column was a whirlpool several meters wide, which quickly pulled the plane in.

The Chinese plane, which had just broken out of the encirclement of the Chinese army, sharply lowered its altitude to get rid of the enemy's firepower net, and then turned around at an altitude of about 200 meters above the water surface and prepared to return home.

In order to avoid being broken through the encirclement by the opponent's desperate tactics again, the Syrian army formed two echelons in the air, with a distance of about two kilometers from each other.

In the face of the enemy planes that were waiting for them, the Chinese Air Force still rushed straight over, and after entering the firing range, the planes in front fired fiercely to suppress the opponent's attack, while the planes behind quickly climbed up, spreading out their formations in the air layer upon layer, and then concentrated their firepower on the enemy planes in front, but exposed their flanks.

The two enemy planes in front of the Chinese fighter shook violently in the stormy strafing fire, one of the pilots had his cockpit shattered, the flight suit was covered with honeycomb-like blood holes, the front windshield was splattered with blood, and the plane that had lost control fell straight into the sea, setting off a huge wave.

Another pilot jumped out of the plane at an altitude of 2,000 meters, and the parachute quickly opened and fell off to the sea. Just when the pilot thought he had escaped, a damaged Chinese fighter plane fell crookedly from above, and at the moment of passing by, the Chinese pilot pressed the launch button, and dozens of bullet holes suddenly appeared on the white umbrella bag, and then it was torn open with a "stab" sound under the strong wind, and the military pilot fell down with a howl!

After killing the enemy, the Chinese pilot also jumped out of the cockpit and fell straight down, and a military fighter plane who happened to witness the scene just now hurriedly dived down, ready to avenge his accomplices. Unexpectedly, the Chinese pilot never opened the parachute, and his body weighing more than 100 kilograms fell from a high altitude like a pebble, and the speed became faster and faster, and he soon left the enemy plane behind, and finally, he opened the parachute bag at a height of less than 200 meters above sea level and successfully landed in the sea.

At the same time, more than 10 enemy planes attacked fiercely from the left and right flanks to the middle, one Chinese fighter plane was hit by a dense barrage of bullets and exploded in the air, and the pilot was blown to pieces before he could parachute, and three other fighters were damaged, one of which was seriously injured and lost its combat capability, and finally broke away from the battle with an ultra-low-altitude flying situation.

At this time, the number of Chinese fighters has been sharply reduced to ten, while the Yue army still has more than 20 fighters, which has an overwhelming numerical advantage!

Since the flight speed of the Chinese planes far exceeded that of the Chinese planes, if they kept flying forward, not only could they not get rid of the enemy, but they would be annihilated one by one by the other side in the encirclement and interception, so the Chinese pilots immediately changed their tactics and divided their troops into two ways in front of the second blockade line of the Chinese army, climbing all the way up and diving all the way down to the sea.

By the time the enemy planes had also divided their forces to chase after them, the Chinese fighters had already flown several kilometers away, and then, the high-altitude planes slammed the nose of the plane, like a sharp sword, straight downward, while the five fighters that were flying at an ultra-low altitude continued to move westward at full speed, and on the water more than 10 kilometers away, a series of islands appeared in the field of vision, and this was the first stop of the Fujian air defense early warning watchtower -- the Matsu Islands.

As an outpost of the air defense position, the Territorial Defense Command deployed five anti-aircraft machine-gun positions on the island, and in the first few air battles, because the troops flew over from outside the range of the anti-aircraft machine guns, the positions were not exposed!
