-- Yan'an Secret Airport

It is a basin in the middle of a mountainous area, and it has been secretly built since the time when it was decided to establish an air force, and it has become a complete airport that can accommodate hundreds of fighters, with oil depots, underground hangars, control towers, dormitories, ground support centers, and other facilities.

At this time, the person in charge of the Air Force was Liu Yalou, who returned from Germany after completing his studies.

Liu Yalou and other hundreds of pilots who have been honing in Europe and the United States for a year Although they have not been in Germany for a long time, they are extremely hardworking, and they do not have much culture, they firmly believe that practice makes perfect, and the stupid bird flies first. In addition to the lessons of the German instructors, they also met with each other every evening to discuss and study, and in the morning the Germans began to train their physical abilities before they even got up. Most of these pilots have more than 300 hours of flying experience before they know it. This is also partly due to Weihua, which constantly pays for their training.

Since returning to China, it is impossible not to be excited when looking at the brand-new planes that they have never seen before, but in order to cooperate with the overall situation, and on the other hand, in order to hone their proficiency with the new aircraft, everyone is holding their breath and waiting for the day when the organization and the party call on them.

The day has finally arrived.

Liu Yalou looked at the telegram in his hand in disbelief, slapped him hard, the severe pain made him almost jump up happily, he hurriedly pressed the button next to him, turned on the radio and said, "Attention to all staff, attention to all staff, everyone return to their designated position and act according to Plan No. 3, this is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill." ”

Liu Yalou, who finished speaking according to the regulations, finally couldn't help but shout: "Comrades, it's finally time for us to appear." The planes of the devils are wreaking havoc on our land, and I command you to destroy them resolutely!! Drive the little Japanese planes out of Shanxi! ”

Since the beginning of the war, all pilots and ground crews have slept in their clothes even if they sleep, and even many pilots have simply slept on the plane, if it were not for eating, drinking, and Lazar, it really could not be solved on the plane, and I don't know how many people would not even get off the plane.

Well, as soon as the order was received, the 1st Fighter Group, consisting of 30 MiG-3s, took off first, followed by a bomber group consisting of 20 SU-2s and flew behind the 1st Fighter Group.

All ground crews and other pilots shouted waving their hats. Shouting and cheering for the first expedition of the Eighth Route Army Air Force, looking at the crowd that was gradually becoming invisible, Wang Hai, the young pilot of the First Fighter Group, exhaled softly, although it has flown hundreds of hours in the sky, even this new type of aircraft affectionately called "Xiaomi" by everyone has been dozens of hours, but this is the first actual combat after all, and it is impossible not to be nervous.

Wang Hai looked at the wingman next to him, it was a pilot named Jiao Jingfu, who was from Hebei. It is said that there is also a younger brother in the family, who is also very young, but in his early twenties. Wang Hai looked back at his comrades-in-arms behind him, and couldn't help but feel more confident. With my comrades-in-arms by my side, I am not afraid of any difficulties.

-- Pingyao

Just when Wang Hai and the others were still rushing to Pingyao, the Japanese bombing brigade had already arrived.

The Japanese army's air force was organized as a team system. A team has three squadrons, 24-36 aircraft according to different aircraft categories, and the first one to come to the skies over Pingyao at this time is a bomber team. The aircraft types were 97 light explosion and 97 heavy explosion, and thirty-six bombers sent a dense formation to pounce on Pingyao.

In the Pingyao County Government, He Long pointed to the map and said, "Our anti-aircraft artillery is deployed in various points in the city, and the artillery is all hidden in various public houses. ”

"Division commander, the devil's plane will arrive in three minutes, let's go into the bomb shelter too." Peng Shaohui hurriedly ran in and said.

"What's the hurry, but dozens of planes, can't kill me He Long, have all the people been transferred?" He Long said indifferently as he took a puff of his cigarette.

"After we occupied Pingyao last night, we began to let the people leave, most of them have already left, only a few people who don't say anything will leave, and we have also let them into the bomb shelter." Peng Shaohui said wiping his sweat.

It is said that it is an air-raid shelter, but in fact it is just some emergency use dug in just one night, and more soldiers have withdrawn from the city, just planting more flags and scarecrows at the head of the city in order to deceive the Japanese plane.

He Long nodded, walked out of the door, saw the black dots that had appeared in the sky, and said, "Bear with me, the military department has sent our air force, and they are the last to be arrogant." ”

More than 30 Japanese planes soon came to the sky above Pingyao, looking at the quiet Pingyao City, the captain of the Japanese air force bomber team Kato Toshio Nakasa was a little puzzled, generally seeing so many Japanese planes, the following should be panicked and fleeing everywhere, or a group of soldiers holding light machine guns to fight against their own planes, when has there been such a quiet, as if it is fighting an empty city.

Toshio Kato shook his head and said, "Attention squadrons, there is something wrong below, the first squadron is going to attack the castle tower, the second squadron is on alert, and the third squadron is scattered to bomb the surrounding points." ”

The Japanese planes immediately separated, one team blew up from the south gate of Pingyao, one team looked around for valuable targets, and the other team was high up, overlooking the battlefield.

Most of the Japanese planes carried 10 small 12.5 kg bombs, and a few carried a 250 kg bomb, which was aimed at strong fortifications such as city walls.

"Hit!" An order was transmitted to the various anti-aircraft artillery units along the radio waves, and more than a dozen anti-aircraft guns and more anti-aircraft machine guns were fired at the same time, and a Japanese soldier who had just prepared a dive action was instantly exploded in the air. Two or three of them were all shot out of black smoke and kept flying into the distance, trying to escape the battlefield.

"Yaga, sure enough, there is an ambush, change the target, and blow up the anti-aircraft guns of the Chinese people!" Toshio Kato commanded immediately. The Japanese planes immediately dispersed, and in groups of two, they dropped bombs on the air defense units of the 120th Division under cover.

The flying skills of the Japanese planes were very high, and they only saw that the Japanese planes kept making tactical maneuvers such as rolling and sharp turning, one lured the air defense units of the Eighth Route Army to shoot, and the other took advantage of the vacancy to dive down, and the ten bombs were dropped one by one, and immediately after the bombing, they flew high and flew in front of the air defense units to act as bait for other planes to bomb.

A fierce battle between the air defense forces and the Japanese aircraft began. However, the air defense forces could not move after all, and half an hour later, the Japanese planes successfully blew up the south city gate, and the smoke billowed from the entire Pingyao city, and the Japanese planes were also shot down seven or eight, and many were injured.

At this time, Toshio Kato suddenly saw several planes in the corner of his eyes that he had never seen before, only to see that the planes were painted silvery-white. Two huge red stars on the wings of the plane, representing their identity. Under the wings of the plane hung what appeared to be small bombs. Toshio Kato only felt that the speed of this plane was extremely fast, like a rampaging knight, and compared to this plane, the 97 light explosion he piloted was like a bloated fat man.

Red five-star, this is the Soviets!! Toshio Kato yelled at the damned Soviets for making trouble again, while shouting on the radio, "Everyone be careful, this must be the secret fighter of the Soviets, everyone throw away everything they can." The soldiers in the rear positions did a good job of defense, and after fifteen minutes of holding out, our planes would respond. ”

Indeed, Pingyao is very close to Taiyuan, and fifteen minutes is enough for the Japanese plane to meet.

"Attention all fighters. The three squadrons attacked from the left and right respectively, and our planes were much better than the Japanese planes, and everyone was calm and calm, and there would be no problems. Begin! ”

Wang Hai listened to the captain's order, gritted his teeth, and increased the speed of the plane again. The maximum speed of the MiG-3 can be close to 700 kilometers, while the 97 light explosion is only in the early 400s, and this huge gap makes Wang Hai and others quickly catch up with the fleeing Japanese plane.

The 97 light explosion is not without combat ability, two 7.7mm machine guns allow him to fight in the air at critical moments, not to mention that some planes also have a machine gun on their butts, making his defense stronger.

Wang Hai is familiar with the performance of the Japanese machine, seeing the Japanese machine a turn and wanting to fight with his dog, he immediately used his speed advantage to maneuver behind the Japanese fuselage, the Japanese machine accelerated frantically to throw Wang Hai behind him, but the speed gap was too big, Wang Hai looked at the Japanese machine ass in the cross excitedly, and pressed the shooting button fiercely, the 12.7mm machine gun instantly sprayed out a fire whip, and the fire whip came up fiercely on the Japanese machine's buttocks, and saw that the tail of the Japanese aircraft was broken into two, and the wingman of the Japanese aircraft wanted to come to the rescue, But the slow speed couldn't catch up with Wang Hai, who was fleeing. Instead, he was almost hit by Wang Hai's wingman.

Wang Hai and others' MiG-3 Brigade used its speed like a light cavalry, constantly interspersing among the Japanese bombers, like butterflies flying among the flowers. Every time it is interspersed, several Japanese planes will fall. Toshio Kato's brain was about to explode, he never thought that he would be so **** in the sky over Shanxi, as of now, he has not seen a strange plane shot down, although his own bomber, but such a ratio is too frightening.

"Our planes, reinforcements are coming!! Reinforcements are coming!! The radio was suddenly full of joyful shouts, it was the cry of the rest of the life, when it came, there were thirty-six full warbands, and there were only ten left, and there were many wounded, and more than half of the Japanese planes had been killed.

"What kind of plane is this?" It was the main fighter team of the Japanese army, and the model was the Type 97 fighter.

The Type 97 fighter is faster than the 97 light explosion, which can reach 460km, but the Type 97 fighter has the same fatal weakness as other Japanese aircraft, that is, weak firepower and thin armor, although the fighting performance is better, but this weakness allows the MiG-3 to continue to use the tactics just now.

"Everyone listen to the order, use the tactic of dodging and deflecting!"

Listening to the captain's order, Wang Hai looked at the dozens of Japanese planes rushing towards him, especially when he saw that the Japanese planes that had escaped also turned around and wanted to fight with more and less, he yelled excitedly and directly pulled the plane high. Other Eighth Route Army fighters also pulled up their planes. The ceiling of the 97-type fighter is only 5,000 meters, and the MiG-3 is 12,000 kilometers, and the MiG-3 motor is more powerful, and the metal fuselage brought from later generations makes his defense greatly increased than in history.

At about 7,000 meters, Wang Hai began to turn the fuselage and dived downward, and 30 fighters rushed into the Japanese aircraft group that was still desperately pulling up the fighters like 30 sharp arrows, and under one order, all the fighters fired two RS-82 rockets at the same time, and then fired bullets at the Japanese planes.

The Japanese plane looked at the sparkling thing in front of them in horror, but their intuition told them that this was not a good thing, several Japanese planes did not dodge the past, the rocket directly hit the fighter, and the huge explosion made the other Japanese planes stunned, and only one rocket made a Japanese plane become a fireball, and there was no chance to parachute.

Sharp arrows flew by, followed by the wreckage of twelve or thirteen Japanese fighters.

Wang Hai and the others lifted the plane again, and this time the belly of the Japanese plane was exposed in front of them, Wang Hai pressed the machine gun button with a cruel smile, and the fire whip reappeared, cutting off the Japanese plane in front of him again.

Because of the influence of the bushido spirit, on the other hand, it also comes from the lack of natural resources, from fighters to tanks to warships, the weapons of the Japanese army have a common characteristic, that is, they despise defense, it seems that in the minds of the Japanese army, there is only the reason for them to attack others, and no one will ever attack them. Such weapon ideas made them suffer greatly in future battles.

-- Taiyuan Airport

Tokugawa listened to the report on the battlefield, and couldn't believe that the army aviation, which he should be proud of, was so ravaged by a group of Soviets, could it be that the gap between the empire and the Soviet Union was so big.

"Your Excellency, Commander, we have already lost more than forty warplanes, and the enemy has only lost two, and if this continues, we will not be able to stand it." A staff officer hurriedly said: "We propose to immediately lure the Soviet Air Force above our anti-aircraft fire and use the defensive advantage to strike at it." ”

Tokugawa Yoshitoshi held his ancestral katana and said, "Do this immediately, besides, fly as many fighters as you can, and I will encircle and annihilate this Soviet Air Force!" ”

The battle between the air force units of the Eighth Route Army and the Japanese air force continued, and the battle line was gradually drawn to the territory of Taiyuan.

Looking at Taiyuan City not far away, Wang Hai squinted his eyes and dived down again, the Japanese planes were already crushed by this simple tactic. Finally, the Japanese planes and the planes of the Eighth Route Army chased and fled to the sky over Taiyuan Airport.

"Fire!!" Wang Hai was surprised to find that there were many fire balls around him, which were shells fired by Japanese anti-aircraft guns.

Although the Japanese army never thought that its airfield would be attacked in Shanxi, it still equipped the airfield with a garrison brigade, which was equipped with antiaircraft artillery and antiaircraft machine guns.

"Great, I finally found their airfield, boom team, boom team, I'm the first team, I'm the first team, the location of the Japanese airfield has been discovered, please arrive as soon as possible." After speaking, the captain said, "Shoot all the rockets into the devil's anti-aircraft guns for me, and create a safe environment for our brother troops behind." After speaking, Wang Hai saw that the captain of the brigade took the lead in a spinning dive, and fired at an anti-aircraft gun point, that is, six rockets together.

Tokugawa was stunned to watch as the plane he didn't know fired a series of firebombs, and then his own anti-aircraft guns were blown to pieces.
