Of course, Kitai Shaozo understood that the child was going to report the news. It's just that he can't stop it anymore.

He boarded the plane and started to start, but unfortunately the engine could turn but the plane could not take off. As the minutes passed, and before he could make any further efforts, a small group of Chinese soldiers in cars appeared, and behind them, hundreds of Chinese peasants armed with rifles and farm implements.

Looking at the crowd that appeared around the plane, the pilot drew his pistol and watched in horror at the people who were getting closer and closer outside the cockpit.

He saw that the hostile crowd that was slowly gathering was not only silent men, but also women and children. The child hid behind the grown-ups, staring at him timidly as if to understand why the man who had fallen from the sky and the behemoth plane frightened them.

Kitai Shiro suddenly sighed.

He thought again of the bright sunshine of the north, the golden fields and dense forests of autumn, the women in kimonos and the children playing. There is no war there, and I don't have to live in fear of plane fire and bomb explosions. But why did these Chinese who did not understand the language in front of him, those land cultivators who had nothing to do with the war and Kitai Shiro, appear beside him?

The crowd stopped not too far from the plane.

The distance between the two old enemies was shortened to only a dozen meters, and they could clearly see the hairs on each other's faces, and Shaozo Ben saw the burning anger and hatred in the eyes of the Chinese. Then he understood that he could not escape punishment, and that all resistance or regret would be of no avail. In this foreign and tranquil land, the soldiers must finally put an end to their aggression.

The pilot still sat upright, calmly and even smiled at the Chinese in a friendly way. He looked at the familiar cockpit of the plane, touched the instrument panel and the longitudinal rod one last time like saying goodbye to an old friend, and then slowly raised the gun and pulled the trigger on his head.

With a "bang", the cockpit canopy suddenly turned blood-red......

At about the same time, Uda Taki Ni Osa, known as one of the "bombing aces" of the Navy, was ordered to lead 50 planes belonging to the 13th Air Force of the Naval Air Force to support the "Shina Task Force," which launched a surprise attack on the Chinese capital Yanjing.

When the war officially began between China and Yueben, the Japanese army had 2,240 combat planes on its own territory and 1,760 planes deployed in the southern part of Yueben. According to the intelligence of the Chinese side, there are 4,760 combat planes in the coastal areas and in the vicinity of the provincial general administrations, and 1,240 combat planes deployed in the Beijing-Tianjin area alone.

In the first two months, the army aviation took the initiative to bomb the Chinese fleet and ground targets, intercepting the bomber groups of the Chinese air force; in the first two months, the army aviation unit shot down a total of 161 Chinese planes and damaged dozens of them, thus achieving considerable results, while its own losses were slightly less than this number. But in later times, as the war widened further, Chinese planes swarmed in, so the balance of air combat was irrevocably tilted rapidly in favor of the powerful side.

Since China has a strong domestic aircraft manufacturing industry, the Chinese, who have developed a developed aviation industry, will continuously throw various new aircraft developed by themselves into the battlefield, and once Chinese planes are shot down and damaged, they will be quickly replenished. In order to gain air superiority, after the Pacific front was basically stabilized, the main force of naval aviation fighting in the South Seas was transferred back to the mainland.

The arrival of the "bombing ace" Uda Daisa is undoubtedly a concrete embodiment of such measures.

Uda Daisa is a well-known air hero in his home country and a veteran ace pilot in the naval aviation force. In the battle across the South Seas, Uda Takiji, who was still a lieutenant pilot at the time, showed amazing talent in the battle to bomb the enemy, not only skillfully flying his plane to bomb Guam, Manila, and Singapore, chasing and strafing the enemy's marching troops, but on one occasion he accurately threw a bomb from the air into the chimney of a house on the ground as if performing acrobatics.

Later, in Colombo and Malaya, the bomber he piloted hung over the city and the countryside as if the shadow of death loomed over the city. As an arrogant and conceited Emperor Saiben, the goal of the Emperor is to drive out the "ghost animals" of Britain and the United States, conquer China, and establish the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, so that the brilliance of Emperor Saimoto will illuminate the Asian continent and shine on every yellow-skinned Asian in the world.

The bomber fleet led by Uda not only scorched many Allied cities and villages, but also sank many Allied merchant ships and cargo ships, killing many civilians with and without weapons, so his military rank and status skyrocketed, and he became an air hero worshiped by his own people. The trick to Uda's success was simple, the proud Imperial pilot didn't even think about his enemies, and he didn't even think that the enemy could shoot down his heavy bombers from an altitude of 10,000 feet.

His self-confidence, on the one hand, comes from the courage of a skilled person, and on the other hand, it also comes from the arrogance in his bones.

After attacking Truk's Chinese fleet, the "bombing ace" Uda Taki Ni Daisa was ordered to lead his troops back to the mainland, and he was tasked with supporting the desperate Japanese army in southern Korea and blocking the waterways in southern Korea. Cut off the logistics lines of the North Korean army and the squadron, and sink all Chinese ships on the route.

For several days in a row, the 13th Air Force went down to the Korean theater of operations in a vigorous and overwhelming manner, bombing and strafing along the Nakdong River, dumping 10 tons and 100 tons of bombs on the bows of unarmed Korean merchant ships. This made Uda feel unusually ashamed. He has always been eager to be washed away with the blood of his enemies.

Early last month, agents lurking in the interior of North Korea reported that North Korean warships were frequently spotted along the Nakdong River. After repeated reconnaissance by the planes, they found that there were indeed two DPRK warships hidden in the harbor on the north bank of the Nakdong River, and they recognized that these were the two new-type destroyers "Hanyang" and "Jeonju" that the DPRK political axe purchased from China last year. At the beginning of the war, the North Korean fleet, with only a handful of warships, fought with the Chinese navy, and these two new destroyers had attacked the mainland and sunk several merchant ships, but they were never found by the planes.

In the afternoon of that day, Uda Osa personally led 22 heavy bombers escorted by 28 fighters to the Nakdong River.

The next day, it was agreed that agents on the ground would fire flares to indicate the target, and the bombers would then attack.

On this day, the clouds cleared and the ground visibility was good, and the aircraft group rumbled over the mouth of the Nakdong River in search of targets. The river surface in this area is open and the terrain is complex, the rivers, lakes and ports are crisscrossed and crisscrossed, and there are many small hills, small sandbars, and small islands, which are convenient for warships to camouflage and conceal, so that the experienced Uda Takiji and his group of planes widened their eyes and repeatedly circled and searched without finding a target.

However, at this moment, a flare dragging white smoke rose into the air, followed by another one. The plane flew at a low altitude guided by the signal flare, and only then did it discover that two carefully camouflaged North Korean warships were anchored under the cliff wall of the small island in the middle of the river.

The North Korean warships that exposed their targets were like prey driven out of their burrows by harrier eagles, and they fired hard at the planes in a desperate attempt to escape the deadly blow from the air while firing full force in a zigzag evasion maneuver.

The plane was like a pack of wolves in winter greedily chasing its target, and the bombs fell from the sky with a palpitating scream. The inferior North Korean warships desperately resisted, and the dense anti-aircraft artillery fire was like white fireworks blooming all over the sky. A few minutes later, artillery fire hit the plane repeatedly. When two heavy bombers dragged long plumes of smoke into the water and splashed tall columns of water, the North Korean people watching the battle along the coast burst into enthusiastic cheers one after another.

Enraged, Uda Daisa was determined to end the fight immediately.

He ordered the bombers to climb high to avoid enemy fire, and then two groups relaunched the attack from different directions and heights. The moment the enemy's artillery fire was dispersed, several heavy bombs hit the "Hanyang" at the same time, and one of them penetrated the deck into the engine room and exploded, and the warship was immediately paralyzed and burst into flames. Another wounded ship, the Jeonju, began to cast a smoke screen in an attempt to escape the blow, but unfortunately hit the sand reef in the center of the river and ran aground, so the "bombing ace" Uda Daisa himself performed a stunt and sent an 800-pound armor-piercing shell into the chimney of the North Korean warship. Subsequent planes surrounded the immobile North Korean warships and bombed them indiscriminately, until they saw the two destroyers, which were riddled with holes, engulfed in flames and capsized and sank into the center of the river.

The plane, which had won a complete victory, chased after the Korean civilians who were helping the war on the shore and strafed for a while, causing the village to catch fire and the crowd crying and calling their mother's house to rush to the left and right, and then the formation returned to the ship without exhaustion.

On the way back, the group flew over Liyang, Jiangsu, and the escort fighters spotted a large plane flying from south to north, and Uda Daizo personally followed and tracked it for several minutes, confirming that it was a large Chinese seaplane on a reconnaissance mission.

As soon as Uda Dazuo saw the slender white fuselage of the Chinese plane, he felt that he was about to move, and his heart was restless with a kind of anxious murder**, as if a strong annihilator smelled a woman's breath in the dark night and couldn't help himself. He did not think at all about why such a Chinese plane would appear in this sea area.

When Uda watched a Chinese plane swagger in front of him with impunity, his heart was filled with a sense of shame akin to dereliction of duty. At this time, the pilots' war passion was still surging, their surnames had not yet recovered, and the bloody smell of war still made their brains extremely excited, and their eyes were still shaking with the smoke of bomb explosions and the fire of heavy machine gun fire. For the crazy soldiers, fighting is everything.

So Uda Osa categorically decided to attack the enemy aircraft. He personally piloted the plane to open fire, and the first string of shells cut off the wings of the Chinese plane diagonally. Half a minute later, the accurate machine shell knocked out half of the plane's tail and blew two large holes in the cabin. He had hoped to watch the Chinese plane whirl in the air in pain, dragging a long black smoke into the sea and turning into a pile of wreckage, but instead of catching fire, exploding or shattering its bones, the plane stumbled and landed on a beach on the island and survived. The sturdiness of China's large seaplanes can be seen in general.

The successful forced landing of the Chinese plane made Uda Osa even more angry.

It is said that one of the greatest virtues of this nation is inferiority, and they say at every turn: Please go to death, please! As if it were a great honor to let you die. Now the fact that the Chinese plane is unwilling to die makes the Uda Daisa feel very insulted and their self-esteem is greatly hurt, so the plane works together to assist Uda Dazuo to beat the Chinese who tried to escape from the cabin to the ground, and the plane is blown to pieces.

Uda Osa didn't expect that a catastrophe was quietly approaching.

Just as Uda Daisa's men were excited and comfortable on their way back, less than half an hour later, the escort fighters sounded the alarm:

"Enemy aircraft spotted due east! More than 10 crosses! ”

Uda raised his eyebrows, very unimpressed by the fuss of the escort fighters.

According to what he knows, the "Skylark" fighter and "Swift" fighter planes equipped by the Chinese Navy are still a little inferior to the "Gale" fighters of the Yuben Navy and the "Hurricane" fighters of the Yuben Army Aviation (because the "Beiyang Airlines" has found a strong development potential of this series among the P1M "Skylark" series of combat training aircraft, and at the same time, the Chinese Navy in view of the threat of potential opponents of the A7M "Gale" series fighters of the Yuben Naval Aviation, The 4 "Swift" carrier-based fighter was thus born. In view of the superiority of the opponent's "Gale", the P4 "Swift" carrier-based fighter designed the standards of armored cockpit, strong firepower, high speed, and high maneuverability, made full use of the laminar flow wing and automatic air combat flaps of the original P1M "Skylark" series, and designed the leading edge edge strip wing in view of the disadvantage of the "Gale" in high-speed diving. To be precise, the "Swift" fighter is a specially designed P1M "Skylark" advanced training aircraft), and with the superb combat skills of this pilot, there is no need to worry at all, not to mention that there are only about 10 enemy planes.

But soon Uda Daisa found out that the Chinese fighter who appeared in front of him was neither a "Skylark" nor a "Swift"!

Four ugly Chinese fighters with blue camouflage paint roared towards them, completely ignoring the attacks of the surrounding "Gale" fighters, and rushed straight at the bombers.

Seeing the Chinese fighter plane's reckless style of play, the fighter pilots who are good at dog fighting seem to be a little at a loss.

Uda noticed that a Chinese fighter was hit by the machine gunners of the bombers in his formation, but instead of smoke and fire or explosion, it shot a stream of fire and hit the bomber that hit it into flames, just as Uda Dasa had just hit the large Chinese seaplane.

Soon, one after another, the bombers fell into the sea with flames and smoke.

Different from the dogfight tactics of the Chinese fighters in the past, these Chinese fighters did not love to fight after winning the first blow, but quickly broke away from contact with the fighters, flew into the air and quickly dived down again, and began another round of attacks.

Such a tactic that completely relies on its own high speed, heavy armor, and strong firepower seems stupid, but it is very effective at this moment, although the Chinese fighter has been hit many times by the Yueben escort fighters, and some of them have smoked, but it seems that the combat effectiveness has not decreased, but has succeeded again and again to hit the Yueben bomber and catch fire.

Uda Osa knew that he was running into a new type of Chinese carrier-based fighter, a whole new group of opponents.

What he didn't know was that what appeared in front of Uda's eyes was the Chinese Navy's new "Wind Thunder" carrier-based fighter.

The P3M "Woolly Rhinoceros" heavy fighter designed by the Chinese Air Force and Army Air Force, which was jointly founded by Russian immigrants Shevelsky and Katvelli in China, has won unanimous praise from all the officers and men, while the Chinese Navy's original "Swift" carrier-based fighter does not have much advantage in the face of the A7M "Gale" fighter of the Chinese Naval Aviation. Seeing the Chinese Air Force's P3M "Woolly Rhino" heavy fighter in the face of the "Gale" in the Siberian battlefield, the Chinese Navy also invited "Republic Aviation" to design a P3M "Woolly Rhino" heavy fighter-style carrier-based fighter.

Previously, in order to open up the market of the Chinese Navy, the "Republic Aviation" carried out a test of the carrier-based type on the basis of the "woolly rhino", and the carrier-based prototype flew in July 1943, and later continued to improve according to the different opinions of the navy, installing laminar flow wings and automatic air combat flaps, and strengthening the combat capability at medium and low altitudes. At the same time, in order to ensure convenient production, the ugly appearance of the previous "woolly rhinoceros" was followed, with a maximum level flight speed of 708 kilometers per hour and a dive speed of 823 kilometers per hour. Compared with the stout "Woolly Rhino", the overall appearance of the "Wind Thunder" heavy carrier-based fighter is more slender and handsome, but it is in the same vein as high speed, heavy armor, heavy armament, and long range, but it also ensures a good mobile combat ability.
