In the morning, the fighter planes began to roar again, and the Xiaoshan base entered a tense state of imminent battle. Many US pilots watched the fighter planes take off one after another with solemn expressions, and their mood seemed to be even more nervous than that of the pilots of the Eighth Route Army. Major Wilhelm gave the order, and the bombers flew into the sky in turn. According to Ouyang Jian's order, only 10 bombers were sent to act as decoys. On the way back, the bombers were asked to carry out air strikes on the lookout posts in the Hangzhou area.

After 20 minutes after Tie Ning led the group to fly away, Ouyang Jian ordered the 2nd Fighter Group to take off from Qiliping Airport and follow the 1st Brigade straight to Songhu Airport. The purpose is that when the bombers attacked the Japanese lookout post, the fighters of the 2nd Group took the opportunity to cross the Japanese lookout post, and when the Japanese lookout sentries could not accurately observe, they quickly rushed to the combat airspace and suddenly attacked the returning Japanese fighters. Its purpose was to take advantage of the shortage of fuel for the Japanese fighters to form an asymmetrical war.

Ouyang Jian has strict requirements for time, and the error is not allowed to exceed 30 seconds. Tie Ning led 54 fighters and met as scheduled in the airspace "specified" by both sides. It was still the same old routine, and the bombers quickly left the airspace of the battle and returned home, and the fighters of both sides once again wried together. Shigeru Oshima and his team won the air battle for three consecutive days, and the Japanese pilots were like chickens, thinking that the fighters of the Eighth Route Army were vulnerable, and they all seemed to want to play the role of butchers.

The Iron Condensation Clan's dispatch is still a novice, so naturally it does not have the upper hand in air combat. In the fierce battle, Tie Ning still showed great courage, and with superb piloting skills, he shot down two Type 99 fighters, his subordinates shot down 4 and one Zero fighter, and damaged 5 Japanese fighters. The side lost 15 fighters and lost 6 wounded. Time flies, and the aerial battle is coming to an end. The amount of fuel carried determines the delay time, 20 minutes is basically the limit, and both sides must withdraw from the battle, which is the unchangeable rule of the game.

The 2nd Fighter Group, according to Ouyang Jian's combat order, all sent pilots with rich combat experience to fight. When Li Xiang led the 2nd Fighter Group and flew over Hangzhou, 10 bombers that happened to be returning were carrying out air raids on the Japanese lookout posts. The group roared by, and because the smoke on the ground blocked the view, the five lookout posts of the Japanese army did not find the second wave of the group passing. Li Xiang led the team to pass by the returning Tiening team, and the two sides knew how to greet each other with body language. At this moment, radio calls cannot be used, so as not to expose the target.

Shigeru Oshima led the group to return victorious again, and flew triumphantly over the airport to prepare for landing. There are 4 runways at the airport, two for landing fighters and two for taking off fighters. At this time, the fighters that were ready to continue to take off to intercept were already on standby, and the Japanese pilots were ready to take off at any time. Suddenly, a large number of planes appeared in the southwest direction, and at this moment, Shigeru Oshima led the group of planes to circle over the airport and prepare to land, when they suddenly found that the enemy planes were immediately shocked, and hurriedly pulled up fighters to meet them. However, most fighters are already close to the limit of fuel, and it is no longer possible to meet them.

Shigeru Oshima knew in his heart that this was a trick played by enemy planes, avoiding the surveillance of the lookout post. Shigeru Oshima didn't have time to think about it, and at this moment, the headquarters could no longer engage in air combat, so he ordered a quick landing. The airport alarm sounded, and the Japanese fighters on standby quickly entered and ran to taxi, and the airport was in chaos. Li Xiang led the team to the airfield above the airport, and was overjoyed to see this scene, and immediately ordered a strike on the Japanese fighters that took off. A small number of fighters dealt with the Japanese fighters that landed, and most of the fighters dealt with the Japanese fighters that took off.

A Japanese fighter took off from the runway first, and Li Xiang drove the fighter plane to dive straight to the target. The Japanese fighter had just taken off into the air, and the speed had not yet reached normal, when suddenly a fighter plane dived down, and the Japanese pilot hurriedly turned right in a panic to try to dodge. Li Xiang seized the opportunity to open fire with all his might, and the Japanese plane with its flanks exposed was slow, and it was beaten to the point of smoke, and with a violent explosion, the Japanese fighter disintegrated in the air, and a ball of fireball fell downward. When the first blow hit, the morale of the pilots of the Eighth Route Army was greatly boosted, and the depression of the days suddenly turned into the passion of the battle.

Intercepting, chasing, and shooting, the fighters of the Eighth Route Army occupied the absolute initiative. Some fighters simply swooped and strafed the Japanese fighters at the airfield. It stands to reason that it is not a big problem for the fighter plane to be hit by a bullet and hit a few holes, but the Japanese fighter plane is defective and easy to catch fire and burn, and the fatal shortcomings make the Japanese fighter plane hit. Originally, the anti-aircraft artillery fire at the Japanese airfield was very tight and powerful, but the fighters of both sides were intertwined in the sky, so that the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery fire did not dare to shoot at all, and they could only watch the fighters of the Eighth Route Army take violation.

Li Xiang killed another Japanese fighter plane that took off into the air, and sighed again and again in his heart. If bombers followed this time, the Japanese airfield would be destroyed. In fact, Ouyang Jian very much wanted to send bombers to participate in the battle, but the bombers only had two squadrons and had just been formed, so he didn't dare to take risks. In addition, according to the agreement between the two sides, the United States is not obliged to provide battle-damaged bombers for the Eighth Route Army, which is the reason why Ouyang Jian did not send bombers.

The fierce battle was very chaotic, and the Japanese fighters were very tenacious, and one fighter after another desperately rose into the air on the runway to fight.

Seeing that the number of Japanese fighters in the air was increasing, Li Xiang ordered a retreat and a return flight. Annoyed and angry, the Japanese fighters chased them until they were over Hangzhou. Because Okamura Ninji strictly ordered the Japanese pilots not to enter the enemy's airspace, the Japanese pilots with super discipline had no choice but to return home. At this time, the airport was in shambles, and fires were everywhere, and Japanese firefighters were desperately trying to put out the fire. Shigeru Oshima stood on the tarmac, looking at the scene in front of him in a daze, and his heart seemed to be dripping blood. During the campaign, 24 Japanese fighters were destroyed, of which 14 were destroyed directly on the airfield.

In this sneak attack, Li Xiang's team played very beautifully, losing only 3 fighters. In the afternoon of the same day, Tie Ning sent most of the experienced pilots to participate in the battle according to Ouyang Jian's instructions. Ouyang Jian judged that the Japanese army suffered a big loss, and he must be eager for revenge, and he would inevitably be dizzy with revenge. Sure enough, Tie Ning led the team to shoot down 5 Japanese fighters after a fierce battle, and his own side lost 5 fighters. And Li Xiang led the team to attack in the second wave in the afternoon, and actually played an 8-7.

That night, when summing up the combat situation, Ouyang Jian analyzed: "The Japanese army did not expect us to adopt asymmetrical warfare, so it suffered a loss. But don't forget that the reason why the Japanese army is called devils means that they will never suffer the second loss. In tomorrow's air battle, we will still use the old routine, which will make the Japanese army scratch their heads. The Japanese army will take revenge, and Okamura Ninji will definitely take revenge in the next step. The Fuzhou front-line airfield was ordered to pay close attention to the movements of the Taiwan side. Captain Zhang! "Here!" Zhang Yourong stepped forward.

"From the beginning of the day, the 1st and 2nd Fighter Groups dispatched half of their combat forces into operation, and the 3rd Flying Group and the Independent Flying Group respectively dispatched fighters to support the operation. I said that the Eighth Route Army's flying team must fully accept the test of actual combat. Comrades! We cannot afford to shrink back at a terrible cost. True and false, false and true, we must drag down the elite pilots of the Japanese army. This afternoon's air battle speaks volumes. It's still that sentence of a soldier, a sophistry! Fighting a war is inseparable from wisdom, and the same is true for air combat! ”

After the summary meeting, Tie Ning sent Li Xiang, the captain of the 2nd team, outside the cave. "Brother Tie, from tomorrow onwards, you and I will invest in general combat forces, but I don't think the drunkard wants to drink!" "Brother Li! Chief of General Staff Ouyang had already thought of the Japanese raid, although he did not say it explicitly, but leaving the general combat force was probably to deal with the sneak attack of the Japanese army. "Brother Tie, it seems that the Chief of the General Staff is going to give a heavy blow to the Japanese army who sneaked on. Intelligence revealed that the Japanese army in Taiwan is basically old-fashioned fighters, but you and I may not have a chance. ”

At this time, the commander of the Japanese army in Nanjing, Okamura Ningji, listened to the report of the chief of staff with an expressionless face, and seemed to be fooled and felt: "Ouyang Jian is too cunning, it has been 10 days since the outbreak of the air war, and the enemy is getting stronger and stronger. Shigeru Oshima's elite team is very tired, and the enemy is constantly learning from air battles, so we will be dragged down if we continue to do so. Okamura Ningji walked a few steps and said decisively: "We can't always be passive defense, at present, the enemy's fighters in Jingdezhen, Jiujiang, and Nanchang are almost not moving, which shows that the Xiaoshan Eighth Route Army Air Base must have a large number of pilots in reserve,"

"Ouyang Jian can be called a legendary general, on the one hand, desperately rescuing pilots, and on the other hand, reserving a large number of pilots. What is even more terrifying is that the pilots of the Eighth Route Army have been tested in actual combat. At present, Shigeru Oshima's elite air force has suffered heavy losses, and in addition, the continuous operation has entered a period of extreme fatigue, which is very dangerous. On the surface, we have always had the upper hand in the air battle, but the battle losses of the two sides are beginning to approach, and we can't let Ouyang Jian lead the way. Send a message to the base camp: I need a large number of pilots and fighters. ”

Okamura Ninji walked a few steps back and forth and said, "We must break the deployment of the enemy army and do the opposite. He ordered the Taiwan Army Aviation Corps to concentrate its main fighters on the Xiaoshan base of the Eighth Route Army and take him by surprise. ”

Two days later, the Japanese army began to implement the strike plan codenamed "Tsunami", and the Japanese army decided to take the initiative in order to save the declining situation. On the morning of that day, after the fighters of Tie Ning and Li Xiang were dispatched, a large number of Japanese planes flew over the Taiwan Strait and went straight to Xiaoshan Air Base. This time, the Japanese army dispatched 125 fighters and 45 bombers, which covered almost all of Taiwan's air forces, and strove to win a single blow. This tsunami operation was commanded by Major General of Taiwan's Army Aviation Bridge.

As soon as the huge group of Japanese planes crossed the center line of the Taiwan Strait, they were caught by the radar at the Fuzhou airfield. With the terrible sound of sirens, 36 fighters of the two flight squadrons quickly took to the air. Fujian's two flight squadrons were weak and could not effectively intercept them, and the situation was quickly reported to Xiaoshan Air Base. After Ouyang Jian's news, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Immediately, the telegram ordered Tie Ning, Li Xiang and the bombers to land at Nanchang Airport, replenish fuel and continue to attack Songhu.

At the same time, Ouyang Jian ordered two flight squadrons at Nanchang Airport and two flight squadrons at Ruijin to immediately take to the air to support Xiaoshan Air Base. A large-scale air battle is about to be staged, and this is what Ouyang Jian has been planning for a long time.
