Chapter 224: Victory in Air Combat

Fifteen kilometers south of Hefei, the advance airport that the army has just built.

Dozens of plastered fighter planes were refueling and inspecting with the help of ground crew, and the entire airport was busy. As a matter of fact, the purpose of building the advance airfield is very clear, that is, to prepare for the next stage of the offensive, to use Hefei as the forward base of the air force to provide powerful air fire support for the ground offensive troops.

The current captain of the second brigade of the third flight regiment of the Japanese army, Tamiya Kusangi Nakasa, also wore a flight suit and boarded a Type 97 fighter with the help of his deputy, Second Lieutenant Jing Teng is Tamiya Sangmu's right-hand man, this time he was destroyed by the Chinese Air Force interceptor, and Tamiya Sangmu was already furious, so when he received the order to attack from the Central China Front Headquarters, Tamiya Sangmu did not hesitate to implement this order, and the main model of Tamiya Sangmu's second flight group has 20 Type 97 fighters that have just been put into service this year. In addition, there are more than 10 relatively backward Type ** fighters, as well as several Type 92 medium bombers and Type 95 reconnaissance fighters.

Soon, dozens of military planes of all kinds had already completed their preparations, and Tamiya Kuwaki took the lead in flying the Type 97 fighter into the air, and other military pilots followed suit, and the military planes painted with plaster flags rose into the air one after another, and finally more than 40 planes circled in the air for a while, and Tamiya Kuwaki's plane flew in a column of arrows in the direction of Pheasant and Ji.

When the group of military planes had just flown less than 50 kilometers away from Yingzhou, the radar station of the Tiger Ben Army in Yingzhou discovered them, and the radar station immediately reported the information to the Tiger Ben Army Headquarters.

……………………………… Yongsan Barracks, the headquarters of the Tiger Army.

Qiao Anbang was having dinner, and the flight regiment won the first battle, indicating that from now on, China's territorial airspace is no longer the backyard of the Chinese army's air force, and with the air force, it will be able to deal with the Chinese army in the future.

Qiao Anbang was gobbling up, Yali hurriedly ran out of the confidential room, and hurriedly said to Qiao Anbang before she arrived: "Military seat, it's not good, the Yingzhou radar station reports that there are a large number of military aircraft in the southwest!" There are dozens of fighters, not to mention. ”

"Huh? Said military aircraft group? Dozens? When Qiao Anbang heard this, he suddenly got up, and said with a slight startle: "The little devil seems to be a thief and wants to take revenge on us!" ”

"Throne, what should I do?" Yali knew that the flight regiment had not yet been fully formed at the moment, and many pilots had no combat experience and insufficient flight experience, so she asked anxiously.

Qiao Anbang paced back and forth and pondered for a moment and said: "Order all the flight regiments to be dispatched, as long as they can fly planes, all of them will be sent to Lao Tzu to fly into the sky to meet the enemy!" Then order the ground air defense forces to fully assist the flight regiment in the operation! ”

"Yes!" Qiao Anbang made a decision, and Yali naturally did everything, and immediately stepped forward to respond, and then turned and left.

Seeing Yali leave, Qiao Anbang clenched his hands, how could he not know about the situation of the flying group? In the current situation of the flying regiment, it is possible to engage in a small-scale air battle like the one just now, but a large-scale air battle is definitely a severe test for the flying regiment.

As long as the flying regiment goes through this bloody battle, the pilots' combat quality and ability will undergo a qualitative transformation, and 10,000 training sessions will not be able to catch up with a single actual battle.

Only after the baptism of actual combat, a unit can be regarded as a real army, and if the first battle is won, this army will establish a firm belief in victory, the first battle with me, with me will win!

When he received Qiao Anbang's order again, Gao Xiang, the commander of the flying regiment, was slightly stunned at first, then reacted immediately, turned his head and shouted angrily at all the pilots behind him: "Brothers, it is said that the Kou aircraft group is coming, and the military seat has an order, and the whole flight regiment will take off to meet the enemy!" For the honor of the Chinese Air Force, for the glory of the Tiger Army! This battle will be won! Win! ”

"This battle will be won!"

"This battle will be won!" All the pilots repeated this simple phrase in unison, revealing their desire and confidence for victory.

"Let's go!" Gao Xiang waved his hand, all the pilots immediately rushed to the airport tarmac, the fighters of the flight regiment had already made all the combat preparations as early as the first attack of the devil plane, this time Gao Xiang gave an order, all the pilots quickly boarded the fighters, and one after another BF109 fighters rose into the air.

There were more than 300 pilots in total, and basically most of the pilots had already mastered the flying skills, but this time they were the 150 pilots with the best skills among the more than 300.

All 150 BF109 fighters took to the skies, and the huge group of planes flew over the Longshan barracks to meet the group of planes.

Twenty kilometers away from the Longshan barracks, the two planes met on board, and the air melee broke out in World War I, although the Huben Army Flying Regiment lacked combat experience, but they had an absolute advantage in the number of fighters and their surnames, and one hundred and fifty planes quickly submerged the devil's group, and a fierce struggle broke out between the two sides in the air.

Although the devil pilots are experienced, they are unable to use their fists with four or four hands, almost every one of their fighters has to deal with four or five Chinese fighters, and in terms of aircraft surname, the fastest speed of the army's most advanced Type 97 fighter is only 460 kilometers per hour, and the gap from BF109 is not half a point.

In terms of firepower, the planes of the devils are even more unbearable, and the most advanced Type 97 fighters are only armed with two 7.7 mm machine guns, which are far from being the opponents of the BF109 equipped with one machine gun and two 13 mm caliber machine guns.

Moreover, the sudden appearance of a large number of Chinese fighters caused tremendous psychological pressure on the devil pilots.

"Da Da Da!" Gao Xiang piloted a BF109 with the help of three companions and bit a 97-type fighter jet, although the flying skills of the devil pilot were very good, and he kept rolling and spinning in an attempt to get rid of Gao Xiang's landline, but before the super fast speed of the BF109, all his efforts were in vain.

A violent rain of bullets first hit the tail of the Type 97 fighter, and then hit its fuselage, and the entire Type 97 fighter began to burst into flames, and exploded violently in an instant.

Of course, in the melee, there were also some Tiger Army pilots who were bitten by devil fighters, and their inexperienced individuals could not give full play to the maximum potential of BF109 for a while to get rid of the pursuers behind, and finally they were unfortunately destroyed by the plane, and the pilots were forced to parachute to escape, and the plane was dragged into the farmland more than ten miles away with billowing smoke and exploded violently.

However, just when the plane had just shot down a BF109, several other BF109s came from behind it and from both wings, and for a while, several powerful airborne machine guns and machine guns roared at the same time, and a series of dazzling tongues of fire crisscrossed the plane and shrouded the plane in death.

The "Boom ......" was hit by such fierce firepower that the plane was hit in the air and exploded, and the huge fuselage took over in an instant.

This asymmetrical air battle lasted less than 20 minutes, but the result was very pleasantly surprised by Qiao Anbang, and the flight regiment completely annihilated this group of more than 40 planes at the cost of losing two pilots and six BF109 fighters.

If such a result is placed in the Luftwaffe, it is obviously not worth mentioning, and it may be mistaken by the Germans for a failed air battle, after all, the planes of the Yue Army and the BF109 are not at the same level at all, if the pilots of the Tiger Army are a group of well-trained air force fighters with rich combat experience, then they can achieve a brilliant record of the whole fleet of aircraft at the cost of zero casualties.

However, this is already a big victory for an air force unit that has just begun to take shape, and the victory in this air battle will be destined to be recorded in the history of the Imperial Air Force, although the Imperial Air Force has created more air combat miracles and won a larger air battle victory, but the important surname of this air battle can no longer be replaced.

…………………… At Yongsan Airport, Qiao Anbang had already led a guard battalion to drive here, and he was going to personally greet the heroes of the flying regiment for their triumphant return.

Over the airport, a large number of planes roared in, and then began to land one after another under the guidance of the ground tower, and on the slender runway of the airport, one fighter plane after another successfully landed.

It wasn't until the last fighter plane successfully drove into the tarmac that Qiao Anbang strode up with excitement on his face.

Gao Xiang and other pilots stepped down from the plane one after another and lined up in two rows in front of the tarmac.

Before Qiao Anbang arrived, Gao Xiang took the lead in saluting and said loudly: "Military seat, the flight regiment successfully completed the mission, annihilated the military aircraft group, and shot down a total of 42 aircraft!" ”

"Good! Brethren have worked hard! You are all the best pilots! From today onwards, China's airspace will be defended by you! You are the eagles soaring in the sky! Qiao Anbang stood up and saluted everyone in return, with a standard military salute and a sincere expression.

"It's just that we also lost six fighters, and two brothers died." Gao Xiang's expression darkened obviously, and he bowed his head and said.

"It doesn't matter if you lose the fighters, as long as you can come back alive, we have the fighters, but the two soldiers who died are heroes, the martyrs and pioneers of our flying regiment, and we will always remember them! They are faithful to their country, and they are glorious even though they die! Qiao Anbang comforted loudly: "When I go back, I will order the military department to issue pensions to the families of these two sacrificed soldiers, and their families will be supported by my tiger army!" ”

"Thank you, Gunza!" Qiao Anbang's words moved everyone very much, and they all stood up and saluted.

"Alright, the brothers have worked hard, in recognition of your exploits this time! Tonight we will hold a celebration meeting for you! Qiao Anbang waved his hand.
