On the morning of October 21, 1908, the cold wind was still bitter in Chelyabinsk, but it had little effect on the take-off of Air Force fighters.

On the plain, a few dozen kilometers east of the city of Chelyabinsk, a temporary airfield built by the Imperial Air Force of the Chinese Empire was located here.

This temporary airfield covers a very large area, it is the largest temporary airfield of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire in the vicinity of the city of Chelyabinsk, there are nearly 160 improved Yellow Bird fighters and improved Blue Eagle bombers stationed at present, and this temporary airfield is also an important material reserve base, the Air Force has many Owl transport planes and many airships, all of which transport war materials from the air to this temporary airfield, and then hoard them here to supply the troops preparing to attack the city of Chelyabinsk.

In this way, this temporary airfield was also very tightly guarded, not only in this temporary airfield, one regiment of field troops and one regiment of guards were stationed to guard against the sneak attack of a small group of Russian army troops, but also in order to guard against the air raids of the allied and Allied fighters, dozens of anti-aircraft guns and more than 200 anti-aircraft machine guns were set up.

However, because of the performance of the Royal Air Force fighters of the Imperial Chinese Empire, the allied fighters of the Entente and the Allied Powers want to break through the air interception, and it is very difficult to attack the temporary airfield, and even this temporary airfield is some distance from the city of Chelyabinsk, and the reconnaissance fighters of the Allied and Allied forces have not flown here until now, and they have been destroyed by the fighters of the Chinese Empire.

The air forces of the Entente and the Central Powers also learned the lessons of the war that Russia had just started with the Chinese Empire. Around the city of Chelyabinsk, a temporary airfield of coalition troops. A large number of anti-aircraft weapons were arranged to protect against the fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire. Carry out air strikes on your own temporary airfields, so that the fighters of the Entente and the Central Powers will not be blown up on the ground directly by the fighters of the Chinese Empire.

At this time, near the city of Chelyabinsk, in the largest temporary airfield of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, two air force pilots in leather suits walked to the runway of the airport with a smile and a smile.

The fuselage of these two improved Yellow Sparrow fighters was painted in white with the numbers 0121 and 0122, respectively.

"Brother Liu. Today's routine reconnaissance, it is best to encounter the fighters of the Entente and the Allied countries, to add some achievements to us, I heard that the brother unit has a pilot who shot down three Allied and Allied fighters, we have been on duty 7 or 8 times, but not once the allied fighters have been touched, enough unlucky. Chu Donghai muttered to his wingman pilot Liu Chang as he walked.

Liu Chang said with a smile: "I know the pilot who shot down 3 Allied and Allied allied fighters, and he is my fellow countryman, and his name is Chen Tao. Luck was so good that there were 3 routine reconnaissance trips, all of which were met by coalition fighters, and one was shot down each time. It is the person who has shot down the most enemy planes in our Imperial Chinese Air Force at present, and the other pilots have not yet shot down 2 planes. ”

At present, the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire has gathered more than 700 fighters and bombers at the temporary airfield near the city of Chelyabinsk. Among them, there are more than 450 fighters, which is not only much stronger than the coalition fighters in terms of fighter performance. In terms of numbers, it also surpassed the coalition air force by a lot.

Skirmishes between the air forces of both sides are not often encountered. For the fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, it can be described as more monks and less porridge, except for the pilot named Chen Tao, the pilots of the other fighters only shot down one allied fighter plane at most.

Chu Donghai sighed and said: "It's best God to bless us, so that we can meet the fighters of the Allied and Allied forces today, otherwise when will I become an ace pilot!" ”

The Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire stipulates that the ace pilot is to shoot down 10 enemy planes in an air battle, but unfortunately the enemy of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire is too weak, and in the war with the Eight-Nation Alliance a few years ago, the enemy did not even have fighter planes; not long ago, after the Chinese Empire declared war on Russia, the Russian fighters on the Russian border line, even one that could take to the skies to fight, were all blown up by the fighters and bombers of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Imperial Air Force on the airfield near the Russian border.

The fighter pilots of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire, that is, after the Entente and the Central Powers declared war on the Chinese Empire together, they can achieve some air combat records, and they are all here in the city of Chelyabinsk, but at present, the air forces of the two sides are only engaged in small-scale encounters, and the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Imperial Air Force only shot down 38 allied fighters in half a month, a pilot of the Royal Air Force fighter of the Chinese Imperial Air Force, the difficulty of becoming an ace pilot can be imagined, that is, to shoot down a coalition fighter, It all depends on luck, and this luck refers to whether you can meet the enemy's fighter plane while on duty.

Liu Chang shook his head and said: "In a small-scale encounter like this, if you want to become an ace pilot, there is no need to mention the difficulty!" If you want to shoot down more coalition fighters, unless a large-scale air battle breaks out, the chances may be greater. However, the number of fighters of our Royal Air Force near the city of Chelyabinsk is already much more than the number of fighters of the coalition forces, even if the coalition forces continue to increase the number of fighters to the city of Chelyabinsk, it is impossible to exceed the number of fighters of our Royal Air Force, even if a large-scale air battle breaks out, there are more wolves and less meat, and it still depends on luck! ”

Chu Donghai shrugged his shoulders and said, "So now I can only pray to God for blessing and making my luck better." ”

The two of them walked as they talked, and came to the side of their two improved Yellow Bird fighters, and then one of the pilots of the Air Force ground crew said to the two pilots: "The two fighters have been inspected and are ready to take off." ”

Chu Donghai smiled and said to the ground pilot: "Brother Xu is on duty today, is the ammunition for the machine gun and machine gun full?" ”

The ground crew pilot said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you are still not at ease, 2 machine guns with 400 shells and 2 machine guns with 2,000 rounds of ammunition have been filled, I wish you a good start today." When you come back, you can paint a red five-pointed star on your boy's plane. ”

Imperial Chinese Air Force regulations. Each time an enemy fighter plane is shot down, it can be on the surface of the aircraft that the pilot himself is flying. Paint a red five-pointed star, and when the number of red five-pointed stars reaches 10, the pilot of the plane is the ace pilot.

Chu Donghai nodded and said, "Thank you Brother Xu for your words, if you can have a good start today, I will invite Brother Xu to drink when I come back." ”

Soon the two fighters began to taxi on a wide airstrip at the same time, and when the two fighters taxied for more than 400 meters, the two fighters flew off the runway and rose into the sky.

Early Winter Sea piloted an improved Yellow Sparrow fighter painted with 0121. While using the on-board radio intercom, he said: "0122! I am 0121, we flew southwest of Chelyabinsk according to the order, reconnoitred for any changes in the positions of the coalition forces in the southwest, and kept the flight altitude at 6000 meters, so as not to let the anti-aircraft artillery of the Entente and the Central Powers bite. ”

At present, the longest-range anti-aircraft guns of the Entente and the Allied Powers have an effective firing range of less than 5,000 meters, while the improved Yellow Sparrow fighter can reach a maximum flight altitude of 7,500 meters, which is maintained at 6,000 meters, and the anti-aircraft guns of the Allied and Allied countries cannot hit. This is also one of the reasons why the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Republic used the improved Yellow Bird fighter to reconnoiter the positions of the coalition forces for more than half a month, and not a single one was shot down.

Liu Chang said on the radio intercom: "0122 understands! I will fly with you! ”

The rules of operation of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Empire stipulate that when making contact with a walkie-talkie in the air. It is necessary to call each other by the number of the fighters, which is also to prevent the number of fighters in the fighter formation from being too large and calling each other by the names of the pilots. Confusing.

Hatsuhi continued: "Also, when you fly over the Allied and Allied positions, don't forget to turn on your camera. Take a picture of the coalition positions that we need to reconnoitre. The radar was also turned on, searching for Entente and Central Warplanes at any time. Hopefully we'll have a bit of luck this time. ”

The camera and radar installed on the improved Yellow Sparrow fighter are all technologies that Lin Daxin got from time and space in the future, and now the camera on the improved Yellow Sparrow fighter can take pictures by itself, and you can take pictures every 2 seconds, the clarity is still good, the film in the camera can take a total of 1800 photos, and if you use the automatic photo mode, it can support an hour of photography time. The radar on the improved Yellow Sparrow fighter is a small airborne radar, which can only detect targets within a range of ten kilometers around, and it is not that a higher-power radar cannot be installed, but considering the overall performance of the improved Yellow Sparrow fighter, there is no larger and heavier radar.

Liu Chang continued to say on the radio intercom: "0122 understands! 0122 Understood! ”

Two improved Yellow Sparrow fighters of the Royal Air Force of the Chinese Empire soon flew near the city of Chelyabinsk, and Chu Donghai and Liu Chang were about to turn the fighters to the southwest, when Liu Chang suddenly shouted on the radio intercom: "0121!" 0121！ Pay attention to the 2 o'clock direction, the radar shows that there are 3 objects approaching in our direction, depending on the situation, it may be a coalition fighter! ”

Chu Donghai excitedly said on the radio intercom: "0121 received!" 0121 Received! It must be the fighters of the coalition forces, the fighters on duty are all in a two-plane formation, it will not be ours, then it must be the coalition forces! I also ran into 3 planes at once, God forbid! 0122, let's catch up, it seems that we can get off to a good start today. ”

Liu Chang said without hesitation: "0122 understands!" Let's catch up! It seems that we had good luck today. ”

Later, Chu Donghai and Liu Chang piloted their respective improved Yellow Sparrow fighters to turn around and fly towards the three Allied and Allied fighters displayed on the radar.

Soon the two sides met in the air, and Chu Donghai and Liu Chang found that their guess was not a problem, and what appeared in the sky was indeed 3 fighters of the coalition forces.

Chu Donghai immediately said: "0122 dives with my fighter plane and attacks the enemy plane, and these 3 coalition fighters must be left behind!" ”

Liu Chang replied cleanly: "No problem!" ”

The British, French, and German fighters flew at a maximum altitude of only 3 or 4 kilometers, while the improved Yellow Sparrow fighter piloted by Chu Donghai and Liu Chang flew at an altitude of 6,000 meters, and now if they want to attack the allied fighters, they must dive down.

With a sharp sound, 2 improved Yellow Sparrow fighters dived close to the 3 coalition fighters from a height of 6,000 meters.

The three allied fighters had already changed their flight direction and flew northwest of the city of Chelyabinsk when they noticed that the two Chinese Imperial fighters were rapidly approaching them.

The gap between the fighters of the Chinese Empire and the fighters of the coalition forces is too big in terms of performance, even if they are two enemies with three enemies, the final result cannot avoid the destruction of the aircraft and the death of people, so the three coalition pilots wisely adopted the escape tactics.

......However, although the three coalition fighters fled northwest of Chelyabinsk at the fastest speed, the fastest flight speed of the three coalition fighters was less than 200 kilometers per hour, and the improved Yellow Bird fighters piloted by Chu Donghai and Liu Chang quickly pulled into the distance between each other and fired at the three coalition fighters with a caliber of 14.5 millimeters.

With a loud bang, one coalition fighter was hit by the machine gun of the improved Yellow Sparrow fighter with the number 0121 in the early winter sea, and at the moment of the explosion, the coalition fighter turned into a large fire ball in the sky, and then divided into many small fire balls and fell to the ground.

"Hit! I hit it! Hahaha, Brother Liu, I shot down a plane! Chu Donghai shouted excitedly over the radio intercom.

As soon as the words of the early winter sea fell, another coalition fighter was suddenly hit by machine guns, and smoke rose up, although there was no explosion and disintegrated in the air, but it fell to the ground with thick smoke.

"Donghai, I'll shoot down one too! Hahaha, that's so cool! Liu Chang shouted loudly.

Chu Donghai and Liu Chang were very excited because they shot down the allied fighters, and they even forgot that the rules of operation of the Royal Air Force of the Imperial Chinese Air Force stipulated that they must call each other by the number of the fighter when flying.

The pilots of the 3 coalition fighters kept dodging when they fled, but the performance gap between the two fighters was too big, and the evasion actions of these coalition fighters did not play a role, and soon the 2 coalition fighters were shot down. (To be continued......)
