In the face of the provocation of the Japanese army, Zhao Zhi maintained his usual calmness and restraint, but ordered the Agni Flying Team, which had just completed the test training, to be transferred to Chongqing, and a full 50 P-40 fighters flew to Chongqing at night, and the Fifth Jewish Regiment under Zhao Zhi also took 100 M36 40mm Bofors anti-aircraft guns that had just arrived in Kunming to follow to Chongqing to assist in the defense. These anti-aircraft guns in Zhao Zhi's hands are still the trophies he obtained in the Warsaw attack, and they belong to the products of the Polish National Arsenal, which have just been transported by ships from distant England to Yangon Port, and happened to be used by Zhao Zhi to defend Chongqing.

A week later, the Japanese air force launched another air raid on Chongqing, and the arrogant Japanese army, based on past experience, believed that China had no fighters, so they only dispatched a small number of fighters to escort the escort, and they did not look down on the Soviet air team stationed in Chongqing at all. At 8:20 a.m., 18 'Type 96' bombers took off from Hankou Airport, joined up with 12 bombers coming from the direction of Yuncheng, and then turned around and flew to the target city of Chongqing.

Before the Japanese aircraft group flew into the urban area of Chongqing, all 20 P-40 fighters that Zhao Zhi had arranged at the temporary airfield in the western suburbs of Chongqing took to the air, while at the same time, the artillerymen on the air defense positions stood quietly next to the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, waiting for the arrival of the enemy planes. As soon as the Japanese planes flew over the urban area of Chongqing, the sound of intensive fire from antiaircraft guns and antiaircraft machine guns suddenly sounded in the sky, and the air defense positions deployed around opened fire in echelons, and the shells and bullets were woven into a dense network of fire in mid-air, firmly blocking the way of the enemy planes.

The Japanese flying team obviously did not expect the anti-aircraft fire on the ground to be so ferocious, and before they could react, the Agni flying team that had already risen into the air had already collided with it, and after being shot down by the anti-aircraft artillery fire three bombers in a row, the Japanese fighters escorting the escort were also firmly entangled by the P-40 fighters of the Agni flying team. Relying on their skillful flying skills and rich combat experience, the Japanese pilots took the initiative to challenge the Agni Flying Team, and dozens of planes from both sides fought fiercely in the skies over Chongqing, with the planes chasing each other and shooting at each other, flying up and down, from an altitude of 5,000 meters to a height of only a few hundred meters above the ground, and the scene was magnificent.

The Agni Flying Squadron, operating at home, had the numerical superiority of fighters, and with the support of ground anti-aircraft fire, their advantage continued to expand. Although there were also bomber pilots who relied on their skillful piloting skills to fight against the Agni pilots, the bombers were too large and too slow compared with the fighters, so with the cooperation of the Agni flying team and ground artillery fire, the Japanese air force flying over Chongqing was defeated one after another.

The entire air battle lasted only 15 minutes, and 12 bombs were dropped by 30 Japanese bombers, and only three fell into the urban area of Chongqing, but 12 of them were shot down on the spot, 5 were wounded and forced to land, and all the pilots on board were captured. Six fighters were shot down and three were damaged, and although the Agni Flying Team also lost two planes, the pilots successfully parachuted, and it can be said that the Chinese side won a complete victory in this air battle!

The joy of victory quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Chongqing, and then spread throughout the Kuomintang through telegraph and radio, and the people who received the news cheered with joy. The next day, some major cities in the Kuomintang region held a 10,000-strong parade to celebrate Chongqing's air victory, which greatly boosted the morale of the army and the people, and also inspired the growing enthusiasm for the Anti-Japanese War, and also let more people know about Thunder Defense and Zhao Zhi.

The Japanese naval aviation, which had suffered heavy losses, was amazed by Chongqing's powerful air defense combat capability, and three days later, the Japanese army again dispatched 30 fighters to cover 30 bombers and marched to Chongqing in the same way. The last time the Japanese encountered the Agni Flying Team only lifted 20 P-40 fighters into the air, they thought that this was all the air force of Chongqing, but this time the Japanese sent 30 fighters, they could eat those P-40 fighters.

Although the air defense sirens had been sounded long ago, many citizens still disregarded their own safety and turned their necks east to look at the airspace where the fighters were meeting the enemy in order to show their solidarity and concern. At 10:10 a.m., 20 fighters of the 1st Squadron of the Agni Flying Squadron took to the air first to meet the Japanese army head-on, and the 2nd and 3rd squadrons of the western suburbs airfield immediately took off, preparing to outflank the Japanese fighter flight formation from both wings.

In the face of the incoming Agni No. 1 Squadron, the experienced Japanese fighters quickly dispersed in the air, forming a cascading pagoda shape, so that the nose of each plane was facing the front, not being blocked by friendly planes, and concentrating firepower to the greatest extent, which was the 'three-dimensional position' that Japanese fighter pilots were accustomed to. According to the predetermined plan, the foreign pilots of the 1st Agni Squadron divided into two teams in the air, one team of six planes pursued the Japanese bombers who were dropping bombs, and the rest of the fighters rushed at full speed towards the Japanese troops, fearlessly penetrating the center of the Japanese position.

The reason why the 1st Squadron did this was just to attract the attention of the Japanese fighters, distract them casually, and look for opportunities for the 2nd and 3rd Squadrons to launch a sneak attack in the future. Sure enough, the Japanese fighters on the opposite side saw that there were still 20 P-40 fighters in the air, and in line with the principle that there were more wolves and less meat, the Japanese fighter pilots directly left behind those bombers who needed to escort them, and viciously killed the first flight squadron that had been dispersed.

Mike slammed the throttle stick, and the fighter plane rushed out like a cannonball, and the two machine guns sprayed countless bullets at the same time, forming a long line of fire in the air, and the two wingmen killed him side by side. At the same time, the Japanese plane, which he was targeting, fought back with all his might, and a dense stream of bullets whistled past the top of the plane. The three-dimensional position of the Japanese flying group suddenly collapsed under the impact of the 2nd and 3rd Squadrons of Agni from both flanks, and the enemy planes immediately scattered in all directions, quickly dividing into two groups, one of which was engaged with the opponent, and the other went around to the flank to sneak attack.

Hansen, who broke through from the other side, bit a Japanese enemy plane and fired closely in pursuit, with dense bullets flying by the opponent from time to time. In order to get rid of the passive situation, the Japanese pilot pulled the nose of the plane up sharply and climbed straight into the air, Hansen immediately pulled the control stick when he saw this, and the P-40 roared and followed. Immediately afterward, Hansen opened fire again, and in the blink of an eye, the cockpit of the enemy plane was wrenched into pieces, and its tail was broken, and the unbalanced plane barely flew a few hundred meters before tumbling and falling to the ground.

Before the smile on Hansen's face faded, dozens of machine-gun bullets hit the left wing of the P-40 one after another from his left side, and the outermost point, about a meter long, immediately broke off from the middle and flew out flutteringly, and the plane immediately shook.

Hansen grabbed the joystick violently, took the opportunity to roll to the left, escaped the pursuit of the enemy plane, and then rushed straight towards the enemy aircraft from behind. A few seconds later, the propeller of the plane finally hit the wing of the enemy plane according to his will, and the wings several meters long immediately snapped, and the Japanese plane fell straight down like a stone.

The Japanese pilot's parachute flower had not yet disappeared from Hansen's field of vision, the propeller on the right side of Hansen's own plane was badly deformed in the impact and stopped turning, and the plane kept shaking in the air, like a drunken drunk, the altitude was rapidly reduced, and finally Hansen had to abandon the plane and parachute. The Japanese pilots who parachuted before him happened to fall on the same hillside as Hans, and were caught by the people who came to help, and the southern pistols were obviously defeated in the battle with dozens of hoes, and Hans, who was carried down the hill by everyone on a sliding pole, and the Japanese pilots who were tied to the bamboo poles like rice dumplings became a good contrast, and the simple people knew who was a friend and who was an enemy.

As soon as the air battle ended with Hans's parachute jump, the 1st Agni Squadron fought and retreated according to the established tactics, gradually attracting the enemy's fighter group to the air defense position, and then suddenly lowered the altitude, exposing the enemy aircraft, and then quickly pounced on the Japanese bomber group. In the blink of an eye, the fire snakes swept across the sky, enveloping the carried away Japanese planes in the middle of the dense fire net, with a tight explosion, huge fireballs burst out in the middle of the group, and then scattered, and by the time the Japanese fighters rushed out of the fire net, there were already five fighters torn apart by artillery fire......

Under the ferocious attack of the Agni Flying Team, which had the advantage in numbers, eight Japanese bombers were shot down one after another, and the remaining bombers immediately fled when they saw that the situation was not good. These foreign pilots recruited by Zhao Zhi from abroad are not conformist people, they are the ones who like to fight the autumn wind the most, and with such a good advantage, they can just let go of these Japanese fighters, so the P-40s have increased their horsepower and chased after them like a swarm, until they chased those Japanese fighters out of the long distance before returning in a huff.

During the half-hour air battle, the Agni Flying Team once again demonstrated to the world their combat power and ferocious air combat methods, shooting down a total of 13 Japanese bombers and 11 fighters, losing 5 fighters and wounding 12 of them. It is worth noting that of the 24 fighters lost by the Japanese in this air battle, only 16 were shot down by the air force, and the remaining 8 were attributed to ground air defense weapons.
