Three days after the Little Jolin encounter. Here there was another battle, the difference is that the previous battle took place on the ground, this time it took place in the air.

The air battle took place at about half past 10 o'clock in the morning, and on the side of the Cadet Corps was Geng Changkong, deputy commander of the Second Flying Group of the First Air Force Division, who was piloting an I-15. On the Japanese side was Osashi Sasaki, the squadron leader of the 2nd Squadron of the 1st Fighter Group of the 3rd Flying Division of the South China Front Aviation Regiment, piloting a Ki-43 Hayabusa.

The Ki-43 Hayabusa fighter was made by Nakajima and was the main fighter of the Japanese Army in the early days of World War II. The I-15 is a well-known fighter before World War II, the main structural part is still a wooden fighter, once represented the achievements of the Soviet Union in the aviation industry, but now, it is far behind.

In terms of performance alone, the Hayabusa, with its superior structure and high flexibility, has a clear advantage. However, because Geng Changkong was discovered by the enemy first, waited for work, and grasped the initiative, so in a comprehensive comparison, the two sides are equivalent to standing on the same starting line.

Okan Sasaki participated in the Battle of Jianqiao and destroyed two Chinese fighters in this battle, making him a good pilot in the Third Flight Division after two ace pilots. Counting this time, Sasaki has been on a mission for three days in a row, and the reason why he is so enthusiastic is precisely to take advantage of the frequent reconnaissance of the Cadet Army Air Force to break through the results of five sorties in one fell swoop and become an ace pilot.

The self-taught army carried out troop movements with great fanfare, and the two sides frequently dispatched reconnaissance planes to reconnoiter each other. Without exception, reconnaissance planes have repeatedly encountered enemy interception and have suffered damage. The reconnaissance aircraft has limited firepower and is not good at protection. Tie Linfei considered that fighter planes were precious and pilots were even more precious, so he simply went against the norm and sent fighter planes to carry out reconnaissance missions instead. The Japanese suffered two losses, but later they also learned to be obedient and switched to sending fighters on reconnaissance missions, so there was this air encounter.

The Cadet Corps has a small radar station in Wuyishan, covering a distance of about 150 kilometers, because the existence of this radar station can often be discovered by the enemy first, and this time is no exception.

"The old wolf calls the eagle, the old wolf calls the eagle!"

"Eagle received."

"An enemy plane appears thirty kilometers ahead of you, an enemy plane appears thirty kilometers ahead of you, do you need reinforcements? Need reinforcements? ”

The Falcon fighter had just recently been put into service, and the Cadet Army had not yet grasped the relevant information, so Geng Changkong was full of confidence in shooting down this enemy plane, and he replied loudly: "No need!" The eagle promised to shoot it down. ”

"Good luck, old wolf wishes you a victory!"

The difference between one side having a radio and one not having a radio is huge. Originally, the maximum altitude of the I-15 was 9,000 meters, and the Hayabusa was more than 11,700 meters. However, Geng Changkong had no intention of calculating, he pulled the fighter plane to an altitude of 8,500 meters and hid it in the clouds to wait for the rabbit, but Sasaki, who maintained a flight altitude of 5,000 meters, did not realize it.

The battle started instantly, and when the Falcon was still more than 3,000 meters away from Geng Changkong's landline, Geng Changkong pushed the lever and pounced, and in just three minutes, it drove head-on into the range of the airborne machine gun, and then opened fire fiercely.

Sasaki was caught off guard, and a row of more than a dozen holes were punched in the fuselage, and a cold sweat broke out. The I-15's onboard armament is two 7.62 mm machine guns, which are difficult to do in one hit if they do not hit the fuel tank, engine, or dense hit of a certain wing.

Geng's ambush didn't work, and he immediately adjusted his position, wanting to capture the opportunity to fire again. However, the climb performance of this new Japanese fighter that has only recently entered service is too superior, and he will pull up the nose of the plane, and Sasaki Osaki has already pulled the plane up a distance of about a kilometer, and then shoots decisively.

At that time, the Hayabusa fighter was armed with a 7.7 mm machine gun and a 12.7 mm machine gun at the beginning of its service, and at this time, the aircraft was equipped with two machine guns with a 12.7 mm caliber. The I-15 piloted by Geng Changkong was purchased from the Soviet Union when Chen Jitang was in charge of Guangzhou, and its wings were still made of wood. So, a tragic scene appeared, Sasaki's shot this time was just a chance that a bullet hit the left wing of the I-15, and its left wing actually broke.

As soon as the left flank was broken, Geng Changkong lost control of the fighter. The I-15 began to whirl and plunge headlong into the ground. So Geng Changkong didn't even get the opportunity to skydive.

"Old wolf, old wolf, I was hit - this is a new fighter, please note, this is a new fighter - boom!"

A violent explosion terminated Geng Changkong's call - after the I-15 was discounted on the left flank, Sasaki Daikan pressed down the nose of the plane to catch up, and fired another series of bullets, directly blowing up the fighter.

The explosion was very brief in the ears of the attendant at the Wuyishan radar station, which meant that the radio communication system was damaged by the explosion. After contacting Geng Changkong's call before, the attendant knew that he had not been able to complete the parachute jump - another eagle in the air had broken its wings, which made the attendant very sad. He watched the two black dots on the radar screen turn into one, although he knew that it was his own one that disappeared, but he still refused to admit it in his heart, he shouted loudly: "The old wolf calls the eagle, the old wolf calls the eagle......"

The news of Geng Changkong's death soon reached Ouyang Yun's ears, and Geng Changkong's most embarrassing discovery was also delivered. Ouyang Yun thought that when he was attacking the combined fleet, he had encountered the so-called "new fighter", and immediately realized that it was the land model of this type of fighter.

As early as when it was decided to take the initiative to attack the South China Front, the air raid on the Japanese military airfield in Zhejiang had already been included in the battle plan, and Ouyang Yun called Tie Linfei to inquire about the equipment of the Xue-1 fighter, and decisively ordered: "Lin Fei, prepare for action!" ”

Geng Changkong's sacrifice touched Tie Linfei and other air force officers a lot, because of the success of the "sunk it" and the air raid on the Kaohsiung airport, the air force officers and men could even walk with their heads held high during this time, and this defeat was like a plate of cold water, which stimulated them to their senses in time. When Ouyang Yun called, Tie Linfei was gathering with a group of people from the Air Force to study the new fighter planes of the Japanese army, and when he received this order, he was very excited and said yes loudly. Putting down the phone, he couldn't hide his excitement, glanced around at everyone, waved his fist vigorously and said, "The commander-in-chief has given the order!" Brothers, get ready to avenge the sky! ”

At this time, all the officers were holding back a fire in their hearts, and when they heard this, they suddenly promised: "Great! ”

Tie Linfei glanced at everyone again, very satisfied with everyone's attitude, he said: "Sit down, let's discuss the specific action plan!" ”

At about ten o'clock in the evening, on the sea three nautical miles southeast of Taiwan's Ryukyu Island, the Xie family father and son stopped silently in a small boat.

After Jiang Chuanjun and Zhang Zhengyong joined Chen Long and settled down in the sugar cane plantation, they learned about the situation of the Xie family's father and son. On the evening of the second day, they visited Xie Hanmin under the leadership of Xie Luoyang.

The two fathers and sons of the Xie family were worried about the sudden disappearance of their youngest son and Chen Long, and they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw them.

"I'm sorry for you, old man!" Zhang Zhengyong first thanked Chen Long for his matter, "If it weren't for the virtuous father and son, our brother would have fed the shark." ”

The four people sent by the wolf's teeth, because of the professional soldiers, all had more or less obvious killing and poking aura. When Xie Luoyang first met them, he had the experience of weak legs. Compared with his youngest son, Xie Hanmin deserves to have experienced strong winds, he smiled and said: "It doesn't exist, it doesn't exist, it should be!" ”

"Old gentleman, the name of the virtuous father and son is good, if my expectation is correct, you should choose such a name to show your heart for your homeland, right?" Jiang Chuanjun said, glancing at Xie Changan intentionally or unintentionally.

The three fathers and sons of the Xie family, they all heard Chen Long say, according to the performance of the three of them, Chen Long originally felt that Xie Luoyang was the most likely to become an anti-Japanese element, of course, it turned out that he was wrong-Xie Luoyang was not as radical as he had shown before. Jiang Chuanjun followed Jiang Guangnai to read countless people, and his eyes were very poisonous; Zhang Zhengyong, as a squadron leader of the wolf teeth, knows people better, and they think that the father of the Xie family and the eldest son are worthy of friendship just based on Chen Long's oral statement. Jiang Chuanjun even asserted at the time: Just from the names of the three fathers and sons, it is certain that it is impossible for this family to be traitors.

Xie Changan's performance really did not disappoint them, although he didn't say anything from beginning to end, Jiang Chuanjun could feel that this was a sincere person who made a promise, much calmer than his old brother who could run a train.

Since Jiang Chuanjun and the others entered the door, Xie Hanmin has been observing these people, and the more he looks, the more he feels that these people seem to be doing big things. He replied to the question: "Commander of the Cadet Army, are you here to rescue Ah Long?" ”

Chen Long hurriedly replied: "No, they are here to fight the base area. Uncle Xie, I didn't lie to you, our student army can really liberate Taiwan! ”

"Fighting the base area, do you really want to fight the Japanese in Taiwan?" Xie Hanmin and his eldest son glanced at each other, and the tone of their speech was no longer wavering, but with a little expectation and excitement.

Zhang Zhengyong glared at Long Chen and replied respectfully, "Yes." Sir, we won't leave when we come. Sir, we have just arrived and need your help. ”

Xie Hanmin shook his hand: "Don't call me old man, don't dare to be it, if you can afford me, just call me old Xie!" ”

"Then how can it be done, you are at least our father," Jiang Chuanjun said, seeing a cigarette stick hanging on the wall, his heart moved and said to Zhang Zhengyong: "Old Zhang, what are you doing to smoke!" ”

Zhang Zhengyong was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you don't remind me, I really forgot, hehe," he took out a pack of white-shell cigarettes from his body, took out one and handed it to Xie Hanmin, and said: "I don't call you old man, just follow Ah Long to call you uncle, uncle, please smoke." This cigarette is produced by our own soldiers, a famous brand! ”

Xie Hanmin was also not polite, took it and said, "It's still with a cigarette holder, it's a high-end product." ”

Cigarettes are one of the best communication tools for men to deal with each other (the other tool is wine), Xie Hanmin has a cigarette in his hand, and his eyes are much softer. Zhang Zhengyong took out a disposable lighter and lit it for him, seeing him staring at his lighter, he smiled and loosened the lighter for him, and said: "This is also produced by our student army, but unfortunately I don't have much, uncle, you can save some money." ”

Xie Hanmin took two puffs of cigarette and shook his head: "The cigarette is a high-end product, but unfortunately the taste is lighter." Young man, since you look up to me, then I will say bluntly, the foundation of Japanese rule in Taiwan has been firmly laid, and it is very difficult for you to take root here. Have you thought of specific measures? ”

Zhang Zhengyong and Jiang Chuanjun glanced at each other and smiled. The fact that Xie Hanmin was able to ask such a question already shows that he has stood on their stand, and moreover, this question is very level, at least it shows that the old man is very clear about the current situation in Taiwan. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was indeed an old fisherman, they would have almost suspected that he was talking to a politician.

Jiang Chuanjun said: "Uncle, it is said that this matter is our secret and should not be told to you, but you are our elder and really want to help us, so I will tell you." The current action of our Cadet Army in Taiwan is absolutely not a hot-headed impulse, and we have a whole set of rigorous plans. To tell you the truth, we are determined to win this incident! ”

Xie Hanmin's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked, "According to your meaning, you are still coming?" ”

"Yes, to tell you the truth, we are only fighting in the front, and the big army is still behind. We came first to find a safe landing site. Uncle, it seems that I have to ask you for this matter, you are used to the sea, and you must know where to land from the Japanese devils, and you can still ensure safety. ”

Xie Hanmin closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "That's only Ryukyu Island, where the Japanese only set up a small police station. ”

It was precisely because of Xie Hanmin's suggestion that there was the above scene, Jiang Chuanjun and his team took the Xie family's boat and went to Ryukyu Island to inspect the terrain.

"The biggest advantage of landing on Ryukyu Island is that you can avoid the eyes and ears of the Japanese devils. Communication between Ryukyu Island and Taiwan needs to be completed by boat, and the police station above is only a Japanese person in charge, and with your ability, it is not a problem to control him. As long as he is controlled, there is no problem at all for the people surnamed Chen Hong on the island, hehe, I have a suggestion, if I help you come forward, I can persuade the people with the surname Chen Hong to move to Fujian, and then your people will temporarily cover the eyes and ears of the Japanese on their behalf. In this way, as long as you choose the time to transport the troops, you can transport the troops over continuously......" Xie Hanmin pointed to Ryukyu Island and talked eloquently, at this time, he was not at all like an old fisherman, but like a front-line commander who was familiar with the terrain and was directing operations.
