The attack of the fighter wing was surprisingly smooth, although when it had just arrived in the sky over Guisui, the group was intercepted by nearly 30 Zero fighters in China, which caused Major General Chiba to make a small false alarm, and then Major General Chiba ordered the First Group of the First Fighter Wing to meet the 30 fighters that tried to intercept the huge fighter group of the Imperial Japanese Army, and the remaining group continued to fly forward and bomb the intended strategic targets.

Although Major General Chiba knew that fighter planes could only carry one aerial bomb, 150 or 60 fighters were enough to blow up the parade site, and Major General Chiba had no doubt about this.

Compared with China's army and navy, Rear Admiral Chiba admires the Chinese Air Force the most. As a former member of the Japanese Air Force, Major General Chiba deeply experienced the tenacity and strength of the Chinese Air Force. I think that when he served in the Naval Air Force, although he was only a small Air Force lieutenant at that time, but how confident he was at the beginning, like all naval aviation at that time, Major General Chiba looked down on the Chinese Air Force extremely much, and even shouted that the Chinese Air Force was just a joke.

It is understandable that the Japanese army looked down on the Chinese Air Force, after all, the Chinese Air Force at that time had a history of less than five years, and the Chinese pilots were all novices with no experience in air combat, and their tactical and technical level was still very immature, and China's most advanced fighter was also the Hawker-3 imported from the United States many years ago, known as the 'Old Hawker'. At that time, the Japanese Navy's First Combined Air Force, which boasted itself as the "son of the tiger," was confronted by the Chinese Air Force, which was well-equipped and well-trained. In contrast, the Chinese Air Force is a veritable name called Hanako, and this kind of air force has not only been looked down upon by the Japanese, but even Colonel Chennault commented at the time that the Chinese Air Force could not survive three weeks.

However, at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War, the Chinese Air Force taught the Japanese a lesson with its strength, perhaps because the longer they were oppressed by foreigners, the stronger the anger of revenge in their hearts. As soon as the Anti-Japanese War broke out, the Chinese Air Force, which was not afraid of tigers, and the experienced Japanese Air Force fought "bayonets" in the air. In the first battle, the Chinese Air Force achieved a brilliant result of 6:0, and then the Chinese Air Force continued to achieve the "eight. After the victory in the air battle, the "14th Air Battle" successively annihilated the incoming snitches in the skies over East China, and won the "8. 15", "8. 16. "Great victory in air combat." In just three days, 18 of the 38 new Type 96 attack planes of the First United Air Force were shot down by the Chinese Air Force. The skies over East China have simply become an aerial graveyard for invaders. The Japanese media lamented that "China is no longer the China of the past"!

On September 26, Gao Zhihang, the captain of the Fourth Brigade of the Chinese Air Force, picked out Captain Shichiro Yamashita, known as one of Japan's "Four Heavenly Kings," in the air battle of Nanjing, and captured Shichiro Yamashita alive. Under pressure, not long after the first air battle between China and Japan, Yoshishi Ishii, the captain of the Japanese Kaya Air Wing and the Naval Aviation Commander, committed suicide by caesarean section.

Major General Chiba has a deep understanding of the Chinese Air Force's formidable Major General Chiba, so when he accepted the mission of bombing Guisui this time, Major General Chiba specially let people know about it, and learned that the Chinese Air Force he was facing only had more than 60 aircraft, including only more than 30 fighters. But Major General Chiba still did not dare to take it lightly, just like the southern China Air Force, although it was not famous before the war, but after the war, the Japanese Air Force suffered a lot. The reason for the caesarean section of the top boss Ishii Yoshi, Major General Chiba, is very clear, he has no way to face the iron wall built by the Chinese Air Force in the blue sky, under his command, the entire Kisarazu Air Wing suffered great humiliation, and the captain Ishii Yoshiosa was also reprimanded by his superiors many times, and finally committed suicide by caesarean section. …,

Although Major General Chiba knew that the air force they were facing at this time was not the air force controlled by the Chinese government, but the air force under the leadership of China. However, Major General Chiba still put on a posture of fighting the rabbit with all his might, and sent all the fighters after the reconnaissance plane was intercepted.

After receiving the war briefing from the commander of the 1st Air Wing of the bombers via the radio, Major General Chiba suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and the first round of bombs was finally delivered, which means that there is no other air power here except for the 30 fighters. As long as there are no fighter interceptors, then the nearly 200 bombers he led can blow up the entire city of Guisui into ruins.

"Order, the first and second wings of the bombers are going all out to the predetermined location, and after arriving at the destination, they will drop bombs immediately, and strive to drop all the empty bombs in the first round, and kill at least half of the enemy." Major General Chiba gave the order viciously.

At the moment when Major General Chiba was stunned, fierce gunfire was heard over the clouds, and a large number of Chinese fighters suddenly appeared above the head of the 97 heavy bombardment group, and the number was quite large.

Caught off guard, the Japanese army's 97 heavy bombardment was dealt a devastating blow, and in the first round of attacks, more than 70 97 heavy bombardment planes were shot down, and more than 20 were damaged. Although the Japanese army's defensive strength against the 97 bombardment was indeed good, before the war, Shangguan Qingyun and the Soviet Union's teaching team formulated a detailed plan to deal with the 97 bombardment.

Compared with the Japanese army's 97 heavy bombardment, whether it is the Soviet Union's Lage 5 or the United States' P40 firepower is a little weak, just with the weapon configuration of the P40 and Lage 5 fighters, unless it hits the main position of the Japanese fighter, it is difficult to let a big guy like the 97 heavy bombardment die immediately. Therefore, not long ago, Shangguan Qingyun formulated a three-on-one military plan, that is, after the Japanese fighters and bombers were separated, except for the 30 fighters participating in the parade as bait, all the rest immediately gathered to pounce on the Japanese bomber group, and the three fighters dealt with a 97 heavy bombardment, demanding that it be damaged in the shortest possible time, or even disintegrated in the air.

This tactic Shangguan Qingyun and General Bayanruf have tested it no less than ten times, and the effect is also extremely effective. The 212 ninety-seven bombardments brought by Major General Chiba this time were scattered within 2 minutes and became the prey of the pursuit and hunting of the Lag 5 and P40.

Although Rear Admiral Chiba was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the large Chinese aircraft group, he still responded calmly, and he knew that his only chance now was to join up with the 1st Fighter Air Wing and the 2nd Fighter Air Wing, otherwise all the bombers would be shot down one by one and become the merit of the Shina people.

On the one hand, Rear Admiral Chiba ordered the fighter group to immediately return to HL to escort the bomber group, and on the other hand, he ordered the bomber group to immediately rush to the parade site. Major General Chiba had a good calculation, he knew very well what the aviation unit he led was doing here today. If you go back like this and lose so many fighters, even if there is a reason, the final result will still not be easy. Although he will not commit suicide by disembowelment like Ishii Yoshidasa, it is likely that he will be transferred to the reserve, which is what Major General Chiba does not want to see. Therefore, Major General Chiba was ruthless, even if the bomber group was wiped out in the end, he still had to achieve his goal, find out Han Yunhua and those American and Soviet generals, and then blow them up. As long as the mission is completed, not to mention the loss of hundreds of aircraft, it is worth it even if all the air force for everyone is filled.

While you were chasing after me, the Japanese bomber group and fighter group finally met in the south of Guisui City, and it was already more than 9:40 a.m., and the weather was better than a few hours ago, at least the visibility was much higher than two hours ago, and there were many fewer clouds in the sky. With the help of binoculars, the chairman and others kept an eye on the entire battlefield from the observation port of the fortification. …,

Xu Lianshan is only 19 years old this year, and his military experience is only two and a half years, but he is a celebrity known to everyone in the Northern Air Force. Why do you say that, because Xu Lianshan is the only Tianwang-class pilot in China's Northern Air Force other than Shangguan Qingyun, he has carried out a total of 3 missions, shooting down a total of 14 Japanese fighters, ranking the highest among all pilots in the Northern Air Force.

Unlike others, Xu Lianshan did not have so many deep hatreds, he was originally a student in the Department of Foreign Languages at Shandong National University, mainly studying French and English. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Shandong National University was forced to move to Chongqing, and later to Wanxian County, Sichuan. In February 1938, Shandong National University was ordered to close down by the Nationalist Government, and all students were assigned to Central University and Central Army University. Xu Lianshan and more than a dozen classmates were reluctant to study in other schools, and were affected by the description of Yan'an in the newspaper "Anti-Japanese War", so they went to Yan'an with a few classmates, and then joined the army, and then went to the Inner Mongolia Military Region.

A year ago, Shangguan Qingyun was ordered to form the Inner Mongolia Military Region's own aviation unit, and Xu Lianshan, as one of the few soldiers with a high degree of education and qualified physical fitness, was selected to become the first batch of pilots of the Inner Mongolia Military Region. Today is the fourth time that Xu Lianshan has participated in an air battle, and his plane is a Japanese Zero fighter.

Because Shangguan Qingyun, the first pilot and instructor of the Northern Air Force, does not usually participate in air battles, Xu Lianshan has become a well-deserved No. 1 aircraft of the Northern Air Force, so his performance has attracted much attention. Although this is not the first time to fight, but Xu Lianshan is still very excited at this moment, at the beginning of the battle, Captain Xu took the lead, facing the Japanese long plane and swooped up, because Xu Lianshan was out of the clouds, so the pilot of the 97 heavy bombardment did not expect that there would be a Chinese Air Force in the clouds overhead, so he was caught off guard, after a series of bullets were fired, the crew operating the 97 heavy bomb large-caliber machine gun was killed on the spot, and more than a dozen machine gun holes suddenly appeared on the fuselage of the Japanese plane.

The defensive strength of the Japanese army's 97 bombardment was indeed surprising, and even after suffering such a blow, the enemy planes still did not smoke. The Japanese pilots were also very skilled, pulling the fuselage down at the moment of the blow, ready to dodge. After Xu Lianshan killed the machine gunner of the enemy plane, he did not pursue, but handed over the rest of the matter to the wingman to deal with. Soon, under the left and right attacks of Xu Lianshan's two wingmen, the behemoth finally fell down with black smoke.

Using such tactics, Xu Lianshan's group shot down three Jiuqi heavy bombardment planes in just five minutes, and also shot down a Japanese reconnaissance plane. Just as Xu Lianshan was making persistent efforts to continue looking for the target, a voice came out of the headset: "No. 1, No. 1, the position of the Japanese fighter group in front, all of them are Japanese Zero fighters, please pay attention!" Xu Lianshan could hear that this was the voice of Wu Yuming, the captain of the Second Fighter Group, and he was also an air force elite whose performance was closest to him among all the pilots of the entire Northern Air Force.

"No. 1 understands, please follow the predetermined battle plan." Xu Lianshan calmly ordered, Xu Lianshan was very confident, although he was usually very shy, but as soon as he got on the plane and took off into the air, he felt that he was born for the blue sky and for battle.

"Yes"

Xu Lianshan pulled the fuselage to an altitude of 8,000 meters, which was almost close to the 10,000-meter limit of the Japanese Zero fighter, and then Xu Lianshan slowly lowered the fuselage, and at the same time observed the situation on the battlefield through the compass. Unfortunately, a Japanese plane that looked quite brave entered Xu Lianshan's eyes, only to see this Japanese plane chasing a P40 and beating hard. The one who operated the P40 was obviously a raw melon egg, and the technical level was still very immature, and the fighter was very inflexible in operation, and it was in danger of being hit by the Zero fighter, and it could be shot down at any time. Seeing this, Xu Lianshan immediately rushed to the Japanese plane with his wingman. …,

After the sound of the machine gun, Xu Lianshan found that there was no trace of the enemy plane, and when Xu Lianshan was wondering, his wingman hurriedly reminded: "Captain, the little devil's fighter has climbed above your head, please pay attention." ”

Xu Lianshan watched while dodging, and found that the Japanese plane was indeed good, the cunning Japanese plane jumped and hid in the black cloud at the same time that he pressed the shooting button, and in an instant, he actually climbed to the top of his head, and the muzzle of the machine gun was aiming here. Seeing the danger, Xu Lianshan pulled the nose of the plane sharply and quickly occupied a favorable position, and the Japanese planes did not show weakness and rushed head-on, and the machine guns quickly poured out from the machine guns of the two fighters and shot at each other.

At this time, Xu Lianshan gave enough fuel and let the fighter crash into the opponent at full speed, seeing that he was going to die with the Japanese plane, so he was so frightened that the other party hurriedly dodged. At this moment, Xu Lianshan "bitten" the "tail" of the enemy plane. Although biting the tail of the opponent's plane in the air battle could be hit, he learned the lesson just now, wanted to get closer, and only after seeing the back of the Japanese pilot's head clearly, did he shoot a string of bullets. Then the enemy planes burst into flames and plunged headlong into Guisui City. What Xu Lianshan didn't know was that what he had just shot down was the plane of Taiichiro Matsuda, commander of the 13th Air Wing of the 5th Air Regiment of the Japanese Kwantung Army.

At this time, the Japanese fighters were in a mess throughout the battlefield, except for the occasional Japanese bombers who passed through the clouds and dropped bombs on the "chariot troops" on the ground and the important target of the city gate tower, the rest of the fighters basically had no time to take care of anything else. The Japanese pilots were surprised to find that as long as they were close to the city gate tower, they would be fiercely attacked by the Chinese antiaircraft artillery units, and just now two 97 heavy bombardments were shot down without paying attention, one of the pilots parachuted out in the process of crashing, and the other was called pitiful, and the pilots did not even have time to react before they disintegrated in the air, and the huge fireballs burned in the air and rushed to the ground.

In addition, all the Japanese pilots had the feeling that the Chinese were simply crazy. Although some planes were far inferior in performance to theirs, they were extremely ferocious when attacking, and they rushed to the opponent to collide with the plane at the slightest unfavorable situation, which was simply a "bayonet fight in the air." Moreover, the Chinese fighters seem to know the shortcomings of the Zero fighter, and the tactical coordination is quite in place, and the three P40 fighters cooperate perfectly, and as long as the Japanese Zero fighter is targeted, there is basically no possibility of escape.

For a time, the army aviation of the Japanese Kwantung Army, which claimed to "fight all over the world without opponents", was beaten in a hurry. Even the few "flying aces" only had the power to parry and fled in a hurry. With the "Boom! Rumble! "There were a few muffled sounds, and two more Japanese planes were hit and exploded in the air.

At this time, the most shocking thing is Colonel Chennault, this air battle can only be seen most clearly, because whether it is Han Yunhua or the chairman and others, they are all two knives, and the army is still fine, but the air force is not very good. Moreover, seven or eight hundred warplanes from both sides were competing in such a small area, and there were planes everywhere, and the chairman and others still did not see which side had the upper hand.

"Look, another plane has crashed, and the picture on the plane is the sun, it's a Japanese fighter, it's good." Commander-in-Chief Zhu said excitedly.

"Yunhua, when will the results of the air battle come out, I just took a look, basically there are more Japanese planes shot down, and we have a lot of fighters shot down, but it is far less than Japan's, you hurry up and let people count it." The Chairman said.

"Don't worry, Chairman, the statistics have been made, and the results will be out this afternoon at the latest, and I will report back to you then." Han Yunhua replied.

"Han, how did you do it, it's amazing, this is not an air battle, this is an air game, can the coordination of tactics bring the technical advantage of the fighter closer to such a small gap? You must know that you are facing a Japanese Zero fighter, this is a great victory, there is no doubt that the Japanese are about to lose, Han, your air force is as amazing as you. Chennault was not at all shy with his words of praise.

This air battle lasted until 11:20 a.m., and from 10:30 a.m., Major General Chiba gave the order to break out. He knew that the people of China had already prepared today, and he also gave them a set, and it was impossible to achieve the predetermined strategic goals. However, until the fuel on board was almost exhausted, the Chinese pilots still playfully entangled the Japanese plane and devoured it ferociously. Because they knew that the fuel of the Japanese fighters was also very limited, once the Japanese planes were suspended in the air for half to an hour, then these diaries should not want to return to the northeast, so it was not until the alarm sounded that the fuel was exhausted that the Chinese planes landed one after another, and the remaining Japanese planes took the opportunity to flee in a hurry.
