Wang Hongsheng pulled the plane to an altitude of 4,000 meters, and the plane began to circle sideways to the left, and they had already finished dropping the bomb and were ready to return home.

"308, pay attention to the bottom left, spot the enemy plane!"

Wang Hongsheng looked down and saw that four planes appeared at an altitude of about 3,000 meters below the left front, breaking into the battlefield, followed by another four, and it seemed that there were four more behind him, and there was a squadron.

Wang Hongsheng's heart was beating suddenly, and he almost crashed into the enemy's group of planes, he hurriedly pulled the steering stick, turned sharply to the right, and tried to turn around and escape. Enemy planes also seemed to have spotted them and began to turn and climb, with the red star emblem on the wing being particularly conspicuous. Russian military aircraft are painted in green, while Austro-Hungarian military aircraft are painted in grey, and naval aircraft are painted in blue and grey, which is easy to distinguish from the outside.

The enemy's fighters were divided into two groups, and a group of 4 planes formed directly to pursue Wang Hongsheng's No. 308 and No. 307 planes, Wang Hongsheng accelerated to the upper right to climb up, trying to get rid of the enemy planes as much as possible. But the enemy, apparently a fighter, superior in speed and maneuverability to the Fiat BR.22 bomber, quickly caught up.

Wang Hongsheng had no choice but to start to do an S-shaped maneuver flip downwards again, the enemy's fighter plane had already bitten him, the bullets were whizzing overhead, he felt cold sweat coming out all over his body, and every pore was bubbling cold.

Four enemy planes whizzed over his head and did not seem to hit.

Four more enemy planes appeared in front of them and intercepted them head-on. Wang Hongsheng couldn't take care of these things, and as soon as his heart was crossed, he rushed over to the enemy plane, and he didn't care about aiming, and kept shooting and firing at the front indiscriminately, and the enemy plane on the opposite side was also flickering in front of it, and it was obvious that it was also firing.

The two sides rushed head-to-head at each other, but the Russian fighter pilot did not seem to have any intention of dying with him, and finally whizzed under his plane.

"Our fighters stopped the enemy!" Lin Hao shouted, "However, our plane seems to be injured. ”

Wang Hongsheng also seemed to feel that the plane shook a few times just now, and the injuries of the plane did not seem to be severe, and the enemy's bullets did not hit the vital parts. He had now finally turned around and made a desperate attempt to flee in the direction of the Black Sea with his full throttle. Thankfully, thanks to the support of fighters, he was able to get rid of the enemy's pursuit.

"It looks like we just damaged an enemy plane." Yang said in the back.

"Fuck it, as long as we can go back safely." Wang Hongsheng said that he is not in the mood to care about any record now, as long as he can live, it is the best.

Finally out of the battlefield, where the fighters of both sides were still fighting fiercely. Wang Hongsheng lifted the plane to an altitude of 5,000 meters and maintained a speed of 410 kilometers. Thankfully, it's safe. He turned his head sideways to look at the fuselage and wings on both sides, and there seemed to be several more rows of bullet holes on them, especially the left wing, which had been pierced through two rows. Fortunately, the structure of this bomber is quite sturdy, and there is nothing serious.

Lin Hao behind him judged the current position against the map, and after that, Wang Hongsheng adjusted the direction slightly, and then flew towards the sea.

After receiving the support of naval aviation, the Austro-Hungarian-Caucasian forces gradually grasped the initiative in the sky, and the Austro-Hungarian-Caucasian forces crushed the Soviet offensive on the line of the Kola River, and finally stabilized the situation of the war. With a steady stream of Austro-Hungarian reinforcements sent to the Caucasus, the Kuban steppe, and the lower Don region, the Soviet offensive was slowly contained.

The Navy's air support in the Caucasus continued until mid-October, during which time the Chinese naval aviation flew more than 800 sorties, lost 35 aircraft, and lost 26 pilots.

The Austro-Hungarian emperor specially awarded the Chinese Navy a medal and highly praised the "friendship cemented with blood" between the two countries. The air battle in the Caucasus has also enabled the Chinese naval aviation to withstand the test of actual combat, showing that the Chinese aviation has skills and tactical literacy that are no less than those of Germany and Austria.

With the successive completion and commissioning of airfields along the Caucasus coast, about 1,500 planes from six army aviation divisions on the Austro-Hungarian side have arrived on the Caucasian battlefield and gradually grasped the initiative in the air. The naval aviation of the 4th Air Fleet also completed its mission smoothly and began to withdraw to the country for repairs.

During this period, the German Navy conducted two major operations in the North Atlantic and two skirmishes with the British Navy, with losses on both sides, but neither of them was important. The Germans were currently focused on the Eastern Front, which had only occasional skirmishes. As the German army gradually completed its mobilization, the situation in the east gradually stabilized.

Germany and Austria needed time to complete the training and equipment of their newly formed units due to their inadequate preparations, while the Soviet army also needed to undergo large-scale adjustments after nearly four months of continuous offensives. The shape of the entire battlefield gradually fell silent, and both sides of the war were gathering strength to prepare for the next big battle.

In the Far East, after more than two years of all-out war of resistance against Japan, China and the Japanese army entered a state of stalemate, and with the construction of nearly 160 factories in the west, China's national strength has increased markedly. As a result of the outbreak of the war, the various forces in the country were united as never before, and the state gradually improved the administrative organs in various places during the war, and gradually established a system of training and education for reserve soldiers.

As the war progressed, the size of the regular army of the Chinese army had expanded to 4.5 million and was reunified and renamed the National Defense Force. Moreover, with the rapid development of military production, domestic production has been able to ensure the equipment of the troops and the consumption of ammunition in war. However, the production of aircraft, automobiles, armored vehicles, tanks and other technical weapons has not increased significantly, the production of aircraft is only about 260 per month, the production of tanks is less than 100 per month, and the production of automobiles is slightly better, the monthly output has increased to more than 10,000 units, but it is still far from meeting the needs of the troops.

Due to the outbreak of war in Europe, Japan and Britain cut off China's oil import sources, and at present China has only two oil fields, Yumen and Yanchang, with an annual oil output of only 300,000 tons, which is far from meeting the needs of the war. With the help of the German Barben Group, China has built 16 large-scale hydrogenation plants in Shanxi, Inner Mongolia, Hebei, Henan, Chongqing, Jiangxi and Guizhou provinces, using coal as a raw material to start large-scale production of artificial oil.

At present, China's annual man-made oil output has reached 1.2 million tons, and after these hydrogenation plants are completed and put into operation, China's man-made oil output will reach about 5 million tons per year, which can basically meet the needs of the war.

In the overall strategy of Austria-Hungary, the opening of shipping lanes in the Indian Ocean and the establishment of links with China were given priority, and of course, this strategy was mainly carried out by the navy.

Under the German-Austrian offensive, the British army had completely abandoned Egypt and was currently entrenched in British East Africa and British Somaliland. However, on the Arabian Peninsula, the 4th Army of the Austro-Hungarian Seventh Army was crossing Jordan and advancing towards the Iraqi region. R1152
