readx;?“ What Chief Bai said is true, the British and American coalition forces are fully prepared this time, and they vow to be ashamed! We must not be careless. Pen%Fun%Pavilion www.biquge.info" Jiang Baili nodded in agreement with Bai Chongxi.

When everyone saw Bai Chongxi and Jiang Baili saying this, their mood was inevitably a little heavy.

He was also a little anxious about the future of the Nationalist Government, and began to talk in a low voice.

Zhang Xinghan knocked on the table, coughed dryly, and said: "Quiet, quiet, our side is also fully prepared for this battle."

Our air force and submarine force have more than doubled in water, and we have the support of 40,000,000 people across the country.

Together, we will be able to defeat the arrogant Western powers and defend our territorial waters, airspace and territory! ”

"However, as high-ranking generals of the national government, we must first have confidence that if you are all afraid of wolves and tigers, how can the millions of soldiers below go to war?

Let me tell you, our 5,000-year-old Chinese history has been passed down to the present day, and we have suffered a lot of foreign aggression, but no country has truly conquered this great nation.

The Japanese can't do it, and the Americans don't think about it!

Even if we lose the battle of the first island chain, even if we lose all our navy and air force, we still have tens of millions of army and reservists and 40,000 compatriots.

We will continue to fight to the end until the moment of victory! After Zhang Xinghan finished speaking, he took the lead in standing up and said loudly: "Therefore, I hope that before the victory or defeat of this war is decided, you can eliminate the personal grievances between the original factions, and everything will be based on national righteousness and national interests!"

As long as we can defeat Britain and the United States and other Western powers, the whole of Asia, Africa, and even Europe will be ours.

When the time comes, you will only think that there is too much territory and too few soldiers. So look ahead! ”

Although everyone swore in unison on the surface, they were more or less skeptical about the great blueprint envisioned by Zhang Xinghan in their hearts.

At the beginning of February of the 27th year of the Republic of China (1938), the British, American and French combined fleets entered the waters of Japan and the South China Sea by two routes.

In the direction of the Sea of Japan, in order to rely on the air support of shore-based air forces, the Chinese dispatch force in Japan has adopted a contraction defense, in addition to the XXI submarine force, which is also cruising in the open sea in search of opportunities.

The main forces of the First Fleet under the Chinese Navy's dispatch force in Japan retreated to the coastal area of Hokkaido, Japan.

In the South China Sea, a group of XXI submarine forces attacked a destroyer formation of the US military, and the US military then transferred a large number of submarines and destroyers to form a search and pursuit group.

A pursuit was launched against the Chinese XXI submarine force, which turned around and withdrew after a single blow.

Due to the disparity in strength between the enemy and us, this XXI submarine detachment sent an urgent telegram to the General Headquarters of the Border Guards stationed in Taiwan asking for help.

Taipei. Xue Yue, who was urgently discussing countermeasures with the adjutants of the combat staff, received a report from the signal corps.

He immediately ordered Liu Cuigang, commander of the Air Force stationed in Taiwan, to personally lead a fighter group to the warring waters for reinforcements.

After receiving the order, Liu Cuigang, who was already waiting for the day, immediately led his troops to take off and rushed to the sea area where the incident occurred for reinforcements.

After more than half an hour of flight, with the help of the submarine force, Liu Cuigang led his troops to find the US Navy fleet that was pursuing his own submarine force.

And immediately launched an attack on it.

After some panic, the US destroyer formation also concentrated its anti-aircraft fire to block it, and at the same time urgently called its own naval aviation units to rush to support.

The US aircraft carrier battle group set off long ago after replenishing fuel, fresh water, and other supplies at the Luzon Naval Base.

This destroyer formation is considered a striker. So the distance between the two sides is not far, which is why the submarine force of the US military was able to arrive so quickly.

Therefore, not long after receiving the destroyer formation's request for help, a group of US carrier-based planes roared in.

The Chinese Zero fighter group, which stopped the destroyer formation that was attacking them, started a fight.

As always. Under the leadership of Liu Cuigang, the Zero fighter group turned around to meet the enemy without fear.

However, as soon as they fought, an accident happened, and Liu Cuigang and the pilots were surprised to find that the speed of the fighters dispatched by the US military this time was comparable to theirs. And there are also faint signs of exceedance.

Firepower, turning radius, maneuverability are also much stronger than before.

The scene of one-sided slaughter by the Zero fighter is no longer there. After more than 10 minutes of strangulation and entanglement in air combat, only one US fighter plane was destroyed.

The Chinese Air Force's Zero fighters lost six, such a large exchange ratio that Liu Cuigang had never encountered.

Horrified, he immediately ordered to get out of the battle and return home.

The US fighter group pursued it relentlessly, and on the way, two more Zeros failed to get rid of it, and were shot down by US fighters, and the pilot's life and death were uncertain.

In the end, it was only because the U.S. military chased Taiwan mainland and was hit by the ground anti-aircraft fire of the Chinese army that it was forced to stop the pursuit and return home.

Liu Cuigang's fighter plane was also hit, emitting black smoke, and staggered to a crash landing in a pastoral area near Chiayi Airport, and he himself escaped with his life.

………………

Nanjing, War Hall of the Military Commission.

"Commission, General Xue Yue sent an urgent telegram from Taipei, and the border guards stationed in Taiwan have launched the first exchange of fire with the US military.

The two sides engaged in an air battle, and the US military should have dispatched new fighters, and a Zero fighter group led by General Liu Cuigang, deputy commander of the Air Force, engaged it and suffered a miserable defeat.

The loss of nine fighters was actually the largest battle loss since the zero type was put into service, and Liu Cuigang's own fighter plane was also damaged and forced to land, but he got away with it. Jiang Baili reported to Zhang Xinghan with a heavy expression.

Zhang Xinghan was not too surprised, and the Military Control Bureau and the Secret Service were unable to provide accurate information on whether or not the new US fighters were put into service.

After all, this is the most rigorous military secret of the US military today, and it is normal that it cannot be obtained.

Therefore, the new Air Force ME-262 jet fighter group is still continuing to strengthen training and expand the scale of the Northeast Air Force Base.

The results of this small-scale air battle in the South China Sea have proved that the US military is absolutely equipped with new aircraft, and it is an advanced fighter plane that has completely exploded into zero.

Therefore, Zhang Xinghan immediately picked up a phone and ordered: "Immediately inform Gao Zhihang that a thousand ME-262 fighters will take off immediately and go south to join the war!" ”

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Xinghan turned to Jiang Baili and said, "Brother Baili, please go and inform the Shanghai Air Base to prepare for the temporary landing of the jet fighter group."

By an hour at the latest, a group of warplanes will land at the airport, refuel and fly to the Taiwan archipelago! ”

At the same time, Roosevelt was closely concerned about the results of the first battle of his new aircraft.

As soon as the battle ended, the front-line commanders hurriedly wrote down the results of the battle into a telegram and sent it to the White House presidential palace in Washington, D.C.

When the secretary walked in excitedly to report, Roosevelt and Marshall, who were nervous, stood up one after another.

"Mr. President, General Marshall, the P-51 Mustang fighter won the first battle, shooting down and damaging nine Chinese Zero fighters, and completely defeated the opponent by a ratio of 1 to 9.

Achieve your first victory in the Pacific Theater! The secretary said to Roosevelt and Marshall excitedly, and even forgot to salute.

Roosevelt and Marshall didn't care, they looked at each other excitedly, and Roosevelt said very excitedly: "Great, Mustang fighters are great existences, they will rewrite history, and they are also well-deserved heroic fighters of the United States of America." ”

"The Mustang fighter has such an outstanding performance, and in this Pacific Campaign, we will definitely be able to completely defeat the Chinese army!" Marshall's face was also flushed.

"Electric, electrify all the pilots who participated in this battle, they are the best pilots.

In addition, the personnel involved in the design of the Mustang fighter should also be rewarded, and they will be even more indispensable. ”

……

At Chiayi Airport, Liu Cuigang has been found by the ground search and rescue force and returned to the airport.

At this time, the morale of the surviving pilots on the airfield was very low.

A C-47 transport plane, escorted by four Zero fighters, landed smoothly on the airfield.

A general walked out of the hatch surrounded by guards and adjutants, and Liu Cuigang saw that it was General Xue Yue of the Taiwan Border Guards.

Immediately, more than a dozen surviving pilots ran over to greet them.

"Commander Xue, we are not in a good position, we have discredited the Chinese soldiers, and it has damaged their morale, please punish you!" Liu Cuigang bowed his head in shame.

Xue Yue stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, looked around at all the pilots and said, "Brothers, you don't have to be depressed, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, you are still the best pilots, the best blue sky guards."

I have already received definite information that the defeat in this air battle was due to the fact that the US military was equipped with a new type of advanced fighter, and it was specially developed to restrain our Type Zero. ”

As soon as his words fell, the pilots, including Liu Cuigang, all changed color, and they looked at each other in surprise.

Xue Yue hurriedly continued: "However, don't worry, don't be afraid, we already have more advanced fighters, and we are currently coming."

So, what you need to do is to cheer up and recharge your energy, so that you can fight again in the coming day! ”

"Yes!" Liu Cuigang took the lead and said: "As long as we are able to pass the US plane, we will definitely take them down and avenge the comrades-in-arms who sacrificed their lives." ”

Xue Yue nodded and said to Liu Cuigang, "Commander Liu, you come with me." ”

Liu Cuigang hurriedly walked to the side with him and asked, "Commander Xue, what do you command?" ”

"That's right, this new aircraft is a brand new fighter, you and your brothers should not have flown it yet, in order to ensure that you can master this fighter as soon as possible and put it into actual combat.

Let me tell you that you have taken a group of pilots to Nanjing to participate in training, and you will be responsible for the ideological work of the pilots. ”
