Hundreds of rubber boats were lowered into the river, and groups of soldiers jumped up with agility, each boat had four people, two paddling and the other two holding guns, looking for targets on the opposite bank, and shooting as soon as they found them.

Seeing that the Chinese army began to cross the river, the guns on the positions on the opposite bank were loud, and the Cossack army carried out a fire blockade on the river, and when they saw that the other bank began to shoot, the artillery of the Chinese army did not show weakness, and mountain artillery and mortars of various calibers opened fire one after another, trying to suppress the opponent's firepower.

Bullets rained down on the water, splashing small droplets, and the fighters on the dinghy soon suffered casualties, many of which were blown out of breath and the fighters fell into the water. "Suppress all firepower, request air force support." Cai Tingyuan ordered loudly.

Soon dozens of planes were in the air, bombers were looking for artillery fortresses and dropping bombs, while escorting fighters swept through the Cossack positions and strafed ground targets with their own machine-gun fire. The firepower of the Cossack corps showed a tendency to weaken, and taking advantage of this opportunity, many Wehrmacht soldiers rushed to the opposite shore either in rubber boats or swimming directly.

The suppression of the Air Force did not last long, and soon the shadow of some aircraft appeared in the distance. After the emergency repair of the airfield runway and the transfer from the rear, the air forces of the Cossacks also appeared on the battlefield.

Airplanes in this era did not have high requirements for fuel and runways, and some gasoline could be used for airplanes by mobilizing some gasoline from nearby towns with cars.

As for the runway, it is even simpler, if the flying skills are good enough, even flat grass can take off and land, the only thing that distresses the Cossack military is that more than 300 aircraft and tens of thousands of tons of fuel and ammunition are actually destroyed.

"There are enemy planes, boys, all wake me up, the real air battle is finally coming." Major Aditya shouted excitedly over the communicator, and the leader of the elven fighter squadron was quite excited, because he was the first in the entire Chinese Air Force to encounter enemy aircraft, which meant that his squadron was the first Chinese air force unit to engage in air combat.

Major Aditya whistled, and the pilots, who had been working with him for many years, immediately understood, and they followed behind their squadron leader to raise the altitude and prepare to meet the enemy.

Although the air battle in the Western Continent has been going on for several years, the air combat tactics are still in the exploration stage, unlike the Chinese Empire, although Fang Xiaoyu is not very clear, but a vague concept can be given, as long as there are these concepts, under the practice of the First Air Division, practical and effective tactics will be quickly formulated.

The Cossack Air Force flew in a three-plane formation with a total of 72 planes, and the Western Air Force was somewhat different from the Chinese Empire, their basic establishment was a three-plane formation, which was a squad, nine planes were a squadron, eighteen were a brigade, two brigades were a regiment, and two regiments were a division, and what flew at this time was a division of the Cossack Air Force.

Seeing the sixteen planes of the Chinese Air Force on the opposite side, which only had one squadron, the commander of the Cossack Air Force Division Kusyak was extremely excited, he thought that his chance for combat exploits had finally come, and he immediately accelerated with excitement and rushed straight towards Major Aditya's squadron.

"Watch the height and get ready to strike." Major Aditya commanded loudly, closing the sliding canopy that had been open. Seeing the Cossack plane approaching, Major Aditya pushed his lever sharply, accelerated with his wingman at a large dive angle, and rushed towards the opposite Cossack plane.

"It's so fast." Seeing the oncoming Chinese Air Force plane, Colonel Kusjak was startled, originally he thought that although the other party's plane might be better than the Eagle 1 fighter used by his side, it would not be too strong, because in their eyes, it was already a miracle that the plane could fly so freely, but he didn't expect that as soon as he came into contact, he was startled.

The performance of the Golden Eagle 1 fighter is not comparable to that of the foreign trade Eagle 1 aircraft. The planes of the Chinese Air Force rushed towards the Cossacks in a two-plane formation. With a crisp burst of machine gun, a Chinese Air Force pilot opened fire first, two seven-millimeter machine guns spewing out hot bullets, which safely passed through the propeller with the help of firing interrupters and flew towards a Cossack plane that was slowly climbing.

The performance of the Eagle 1 fighter can only be regarded as unsatisfactory, and the Golden Eagle 1 fighter is no longer on the same order of magnitude, under the dense rain of bullets, the clumsy Cossack plane was lifted off the left wing by the bullet before it had time to turn, the upper and lower wings broke at the same time, and the plane missing one wing fell to the ground in a spiral.

Seeing the meritorious work of their teammates, the planes of the Chinese Air Force rushed forward, relying on the better circling performance and faster speed of the triplanes, the Chinese pilots wreaked havoc in the Cossack fleet like a fish in water, and one after another the young eagle fighters fell one after another.

Holding the lever tightly, Colonel Kusjak struggled to maneuver his plane, avoiding the glance of a Chinese air force pilot, and his two wingmen immediately rushed over to help him drive the enemy away. The nose of the two Chinese planes, with one side of the nose, made a small radius turn, and immediately went around behind the two Cossack wingmen, and the machine guns opened fire with all their might, and the two pilots with poor skills could not escape the doom and were quickly shot down.

Taking advantage of the gap between the two Chinese planes against his wingman, Kusjak quickly slipped away, but he was soon bitten by Major Aditya, who had already shot down a Cossack plane.

Elven combat instincts and excellent vision played a big role, and Major Aditya gently adjusted his joystick and quickly bit into the lone plane. Seeing another plane bite his tail, Colonel Kusjak was terrified, and the twenty-minute air battle that had just taken place was about to break him.

Being able to become the commander of a Cossack Air Force division, Kusyak was still very capable, and at this moment, facing the threat of death, his spirit was highly concentrated, and the plane reacted quickly under his operation. Rolling, climbing, turning, and S-type evasion, the Eagle 1 fighter, which is not advanced in performance, was used to the limit by Kusyak. The wooden fuselage made a creaking sound due to the excessive load, as if it was about to break, and in order to survive, Kusjak had used all his strength to get rid of it.

Major Aditya still followed him closely, and with his superior flying skills and keen battlefield instincts, Colonel Kusjak not only did not get rid of it, but was chased closer and closer. Colonel Kusjak's hands holding the lever were already covered with sweat, and now he was completely out of line.

Major Aditya's plane approached, and soon Colonel Kusjak's tail was firmly entrapped in Aditya's sights. The distance between the two planes was already only one hundred and fifty meters, and Major Aditya pressed the fire button fiercely, and two long strings of bullets came out of their chambers, one after another seven millimeter bullets hit the tail of Colonel Kusjak's plane, first the tail, then the rudder, and finally the entire tail was shattered into pieces.

Seeing that the opposing plane was no longer saved, Major Aditya immediately got out of the firing position and looked for the next target, while Colonel Kusyak's plane dragged a long plume of smoke and fell head to the ground with its tail up and down.

"My God, my God," Kusjak desperately snapped his malfunctioning joystick, desperately trying to make it fly more slowly. Due to the lack of parachutes, the survival rate of pilots from various countries in the Western Continent is not high, and at this time he is betting that he can make a safe forced landing.

Tightening the joystick with all his might, Colonel Kusjak sweated nervously as he flattened the plane and let it glide slowly toward the ground. The altitude of the plane was getting lower and lower, the belly of the fuselage gradually rubbed against the treetops, and the plane had a violent turbulence.

Brushing the treetops, the plane skimmed over a patch of trees and fell into the glade. Ignoring the violent shaking of the plane, Colonel Kusjak clung tightly to the joystick, and his plane jolted up and down, and the left wing was quickly shattered to pieces by the protruding rock, and with this resistance, the plane made a half circle and finally fell to the grass.

Colonel Kusjak climbed out of the cabin with difficulty, grabbed his fur hat and wiped the sweat from his head, this time he really escaped death. With a sigh of relief, Colonel Kusjak looked into the air, at this time his subordinates were still falling, and the planes of the Chinese Air Force were getting better and better except for the six planes that were shot down in the early days, and during the time he was being pursued, only two were wounded and chose to return.

"Don't move, raise your hands." The distracted Colonel Kusjak did not notice that a patrol was already approaching him, and it was only then that he realized that the battlefield had shifted to the other side of the Lena River, in the area controlled by the Chinese army, due to the extensive maneuvering in the air battle.

Although he had a pistol on his waist, Colonel Kusjak didn't want to use him, and now it was futile to resist, at most he would lose his own life, and he might as well choose to surrender, so he obeyed the other party's request and slowly raised his hand.

A Chinese soldier went up and shoved him, leaving Colonel Kusjak leaning against the wreckage of the plane, and the soldier fumbled around him and took away his pistol and officer ID. Just when he was being inspected by the soldiers, Colonel Kusjak looked up and found that a Golden Eagle 1 fighter had been shot down, only to see that the plane emitted a long black smoke and fell to the ground.

"What's that?" Just now, he had been wandering between life and death, and he had no experience to pay attention to the Chinese Air Force pilot who was parachuting, and at this time Colonel Kusjak realized that the other party actually had such equipment, so he asked the soldiers who escorted him in Mandarin, which was not very fluent.
