"Report 501, 502, the fleet arrived at the landing position off the coast of San Francisco, about 20 kilometers from San Francisco." In the command cabin of the flagship Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, a subordinate made an urgent report. Dai Hui glanced at Nie Fengwu and said, "Order the fleet to stop advancing, and order the carrier-based aircraft group to prepare for liftoff." "The flagship gave a rhythmic whistle with the aim of telling the fleet to stop advancing. Nie Fengwu said: "The target of the attack is chosen in the dock area, which is a helpless move. San Francisco is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the space for battle is very small. The capture of the dock can quickly transport the landing troops, which is beneficial for us to consolidate our positions! ”

"The unfavorable factor is that the U.S. military will definitely deploy heavy troops in the dock area, and I am afraid it will be a vicious battle. I estimate that the U.S. military is in a hurry to fortify, and it is impossible to have a permanent defensive offensive in the dock area, so the casualties of the landing operation will be smaller. Dai Hui said: "After a while, the carrier-based aircraft will take to the air at dawn and first attack the enemy's fortifications to create conditions for the landing force to launch an attack at night." Half an hour later, the east was white, and Dai Hui ordered the carrier-based aircraft group to launch an air attack.

On the deck of the aircraft carrier, Gao Xiang waited for the ground crew to shake the propellers, gently pushed the control stick, and the fighter slid forward and then accelerated, and left the ship in a graceful attitude. The deputy captain followed closely behind and soared into the sky. The air raid still adopted the free attack mode, and Gao Xiang piloted the plane to fly to the coast first. At this time, the fighters on the decks of the other two aircraft carriers were not to be outdone, and the two fighters that took off first, almost on a par with Gao Xiang, flew towards the target with a roar. The roar of the warplanes in the air seemed to make the sea tremble.

The crew of the 1st U.S. Marine Air Corps at San Francisco East Airport received an order to take off for combat. They all ran from the lounge to the fighters. The U.S. fighter plane is a two-winged fighter with two people, and the plane is shaped like an enlarged version of a baby rocker, with the upper part exposed. The driver's and deputy's seats are one in front and one behind. At this time, Colonel Mack, the commander of the 1st Sentai team, came to the fighter, climbed into the driver's seat first, and shook the propeller with his deputy. After the machine roared normally, the deputy climbed into the back seat and began to scrutinize it. The battleship carried 5 bombs of 10 pounds each. At present, the US military crew can only drop bombs with their bare hands at high altitudes. It's not easy to do this in a very short time.

Mike was the first to slide into the runway, his long wings generating enough lift, even though the fighter was not fast. But the lift generated by the wings compensated for the lack of speed. Mike quickly rose into the sky, his goggles reflecting a striking light. The 1st team of American Airlines has a total of 120 biplane fighters and 5 reconnaissance aircraft (the reconnaissance aircraft is a single seat). The eastern part of San Francisco is close to the harbor and has two airports in the north and south. The 1st and 2nd Air Combat Detachments were stationed at the airfield on the north side. The number of fighters is 63 fighters (including 3 reconnaissance aircraft).

The southern airfield is home to the 3rd and 4th air fleets, with 62 fighters (including two reconnaissance aircraft). Colonel Mack led the 1st and 2nd teams to take off from the northern airfield as the first air strike team, and the southern airfield as the second air strike team. Mike circled in the air, and when all the fighters were in the air, he took the lead and flew west. The 1st team of American Airlines trains in peacetime, rarely dispatches more than 10 fighters, and 60 fighters soar in the air. The scene was very shocking.

Gao Xiang arrived at the coast and was looking for a target. At this moment, a large number of dark shadows suddenly appeared in the eastern sky. Gao Xiang was taken aback when he saw it. "The fighters of the US military, the Americans actually have fighters too!" Two crew members also came over to check. "Captain, what are we going to do?" "The target of the US fighter plane is definitely to attack the fleet of air strikes, drop the bombs to reduce the weight of the fighters, the machine gunners are ready, we must intercept the enemy planes." The bombardier hurriedly operated, and four bombs smashed into the ground in one go. Two bombs exploded on the surface of the sea, and the other two accidentally exploded in the defensive positions of the US military.

The reason for this was that the American soldiers who were watching the excitement in the trenches were blown up to the ground, because the American soldiers saw that the fighters of both sides appeared in the air, and many American soldiers ran out of the bunkers to check on them, but they did not expect the bombs to fall on their heads. The fighter plane piloted by Gao Xiang was the first to drop the bomb, and the deputy group leader who followed him naturally understood what was going on and took the opportunity to drop the bomb, and the other four fighters also threw away the bomb and rushed head-on towards the US plane. Gao Xiang rushed to the front of the plane, and soon saw clearly the appearance of the American plane, and his expression couldn't help but be greatly invigorated.

"Ha Luha, the US fighter planes are like gliders, they are just pediatrics, and the machine gunners are ready to beat me hard." At first, the US fighters were not afraid of intercepting enemy planes, and they had the impression that the main task of enemy planes was to attack the ground and ships, and they did not yet have the ability to fight in the air. In addition, the bombardiers of the US fighter planes each have a Cobin gun and have a certain ability to defend themselves. However, where did the Americans think that there were heavy machine guns on enemy planes, the key is that the heavy machine guns on the fighters have never been used in combat, and there is no doubt that the pilots of the US fighters have no knowledge that disaster has come.

Gao Xiang quickly approached a fighter plane flying in front, and the heavy machine gun on the fighter plane was located in front of the left wing. When the fighter is at an angle of 30 degrees to the enemy, the heavy machine gun can fire in advance. In other words, when the two fighters are not waiting for a stagger, the heavy machine gun can fire in advance. The distance between the two sides was about 50 meters, and the speed of such a close distance could be said to be a miss. The speed of the US fighter was not fast, and Gao Xiang also slowed down the speed of the fighter to create conditions for machine gun strafing.

The task of the US pilots is to launch an attack on the aircraft carrier warship, so the US plane pilot only needs to avoid a collision between the two planes immediately. Despite the heavy machine gun's excitation and nervousness, he pulled the trigger, and with a fierce strafing fire, the American pilot was shot. The two fighters roared past, and the US fighter flew forward for some distance, and then lost control and began to glide towards the plane, only to see that the bombardier behind the fighter plane found that the pilot was killed, so he immediately parachuted, and the fighter plane smashed headlong into the sea. The advantage of the biplane fighter is that it has excellent gliding ability, and this fallen fighter actually relied on its own gliding ability to land on the sea.

When the second enemy plane appeared in front of him, the machine gunner calmly killed the pilot and bombardier of the American plane. Gao Xiang became more and more courageous, and then aimed at the third US plane. When the US fighter plane was hit by a sudden attack, it immediately became a mess, and Colonel Mack, seeing that there was a heavy machine gun on the enemy plane, immediately ordered to return fire. As a large number of fighters arrived at the battlefield, the US planes began to flee freely, and the trick of eagles catching birds seemed to be staged in the sky.

Since the combat airspace is on the coastline, the side of the fleet cannot see the air battle surface clearly. On the bridge of the flagship Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Nie Fengwu and Dai Hui held binoculars to look ahead. They couldn't see the coastline clearly, and they could faintly hear explosions. Soon, the carrier-based aircraft, which ran out of fuel, returned to the aircraft carrier for refueling. "Report 501, 502, Captain Gao Xiang of the 1st Carrier-based Aircraft Group, reported that the US military appeared as a fighter, which was a biplane. The enemy fighter is in the initial stage, with one pilot and one crew member, and at present our unit is making every effort to intercept the enemy plane. ”

"Gao Xiang informed that the enemy plane's deputy has a carbine, and the aerial combat is very weak." "The president's judgment was very accurate, and the US military really had fighter planes. The carrier-based aircraft brigade was ordered to find the US airfield and blow up all the US fighters, so that the US fighters could not pose any threat to the fleet. Dai Hui decisively issued an order. Nie Fengwu added: "Order all frigates to prepare for air defense to prevent air attacks by enemy aircraft. "The air battle was almost one-sided, and the US fighters had no chance to break through the interceptor fighters at all.

The landing fleet could not see the air battle clearly, but it could see it very clearly in the city of San Francisco. At this moment, on the roof of the US military headquarters building, Shaq, Han Ruowei and other generals looked at the sky in surprise. I saw that the huge body of the enemy plane was not only fast but also very dexterous. Enemy planes were rampage through the sky, as if no man's land was in a no-man's land, and their own fighters were shot down one after another, leaving all the generals stunned. "My air team is finished!" Shaq looked up to the sky and sighed, beating his chest and stunning.

Han Ruowei said depressedly: "It seems that the enemy has been prepared for a long time, they have installed heavy machine guns on the fighters, and we are not opponents at all in air combat." If the enemy dares to come on an expedition, he will definitely be prepared. General Shaq, it's time for us to think about defensive operations, and don't count on air strikes against enemy fleets. Han Ruowei couldn't stand it anymore, turned around and walked down the roof. This kung fu Shaq came to his senses and said: "Order the air team to stop the attack, and order the airfield anti-aircraft fire to enter combat readiness." Shaq knew in his heart that the next attack on the airfield would definitely be by enemy aircraft.

All the shops in Chinatown are closed, and the streets are empty. Occasionally, patrols of the Self-Defense Forces appear as if they are facing a great enemy. At this moment, all the people of the Lin family, the president of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, were all gathered in the courtyard and looked at the sky. Everyone went from initial nervousness to surprise. "Look, another fight!" "Another one!" The three daughters of the Lin family cheered and got carried away with joy. "What's noisy, beware of what you hear outside!" Although Lin Zhong was very happy in his heart, he had to suppress his excitement.

The three daughters were scolded by their father, stuck out their tongues and didn't know what to say, but when they saw another US plane shot down, they couldn't help but make a sound. "Uncle, no wonder the Imperial Army went on an expedition to the United States, it turned out to be such a sharp weapon. We often see US fighter planes flaunting their might in the sky, but we do not expect that the imperial fighter planes are superior, and we see that the US fighter planes are powerless, and it is almost a one-sided slaughter. "Virtuous nephew, I have no doubt now about the expeditionary ability of the Imperial Army, the capture of San Francisco is just around the corner, and our good days have come."

I am afraid that such scenes can be seen everywhere in Chinatown, and their joy is temporarily suppressed and they dare not vent. Many Self-Defense Force patrols also couldn't help but stop looking at the sky, their expressions of shock, fear, and sadness, and some of them kept praying for God's protection. At this moment, the Americans learned for the first time how powerful the enemy is, especially when the enemy's fighter planes are another strange picture, like the devil in the air. The powerful strangulation in the air shocked the scene, and the morale of the US military was hit for the first time.

Gao Xiang piloted the plane and landed on the deck, and the ground crew refueled and carried the bomb at the same time. The bomb for ground attack is 25 pounds, and the fighter can carry 24 aerial bombs. Under the busy work of the ground crew, Gao Xiang piloted the fighter plane to once again flutter its wings and fly into the blue sky.
