In the past two or three months, there has been a lively battle on the ground between the Ming and Qing dynasties, but there has been no major air battle. Now it seems that the Qing Army and Air Force have not been idle in the past two or three months to preserve their strength, and they are probably training hard. The Ming fighters and the Qing fighters were lifted for a while, and they generally felt that the other party's technology had improved. Although it was still under the pilots of the Ming army, it was no longer a one-sided "duck fight" like in the early days of the war.

The kingfisher leader of the Ming army issued a warning to all the members of the team:

"Brothers, cheer up, people have practiced!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed the lever sharply, and the fighter under the seat rolled over to the right and went straight down to dodge. Immediately afterwards, a Jebel fuselage on the opposite side spewed tongues of fire, and it grazed overhead with a desperate look.

The team leader turned around and "", and instead of pulling back the joystick to try to turn back to chase the Jebel, he increased the throttle and left the Jebel far behind, looking for other targets in the front.

The other side is a biplane, and because the degree is slow, it is easier to turn in a small radius. I want to go around in circles with its tail biting "dog fight", but I can't turn it. But the slow degree is also the fatal weakness of the biplane. The Ming army's kingfisher fighter pilots had already figured out the trick of dealing with the Qing army's biplane fighters last year, and began to repeatedly teach them in aviation schools. - That is, to fully swing the advantage, like a medieval heavy cavalry duel, rush over, and solve the opponent with one blow. If you miss a hit, you will never be entangled, and you will quickly rush out of the battle circle, either looking for other targets, or adjusting your position from a distance, and then retreating generously. In this way, the poorly maneuverable biplane has only the share of being slaughtered on the spot.

As soon as the Ming pilots entered the state, the Qing fighters immediately dragged down one after another with long smoke as before, and parachutes appeared one after another in the sky, and most of them were still Qing pilots.

Gradually, the battle shifted to the sea. There are constantly planes dragging long smoke into the sea, falling all over the place, and popping up on the sea surface like a splash.

Once the losses of the Qing army's aircraft group began to increase, the morale of the Qing pilots instantly fell to a low point. The confidence of two months of hard training was immediately lost again. Everyone began to think about their own things: whether they could survive or not, and what they could do to survive.

As a result, all the old methods were used again. Fuel-guzzling aircraft return home under the pretext of "lack of fuel". There are a few bullet holes in the fuselage, it doesn't matter if you want it or not, you always claim that the plane is injured and needs to be returned for maintenance. In particular, there were a few Haidong Qingdu fast, who just wanted to consume as much fuel as possible in order to return home, and flew over the Ming fleet in a daze.

Of course, the Ming fleet was not polite, and the large and small anti-aircraft guns and secondary guns on each warship immediately increased the elevation angle, and the sky was covered with dense black clouds. One Hai Dongqing was shaken by the shock wave, and the cockpit glass was hit by shrapnel with a white spot. In fact, there was nothing at all, but the pilot was so frightened that he was afraid that he would hang up in a second longer, so he immediately pushed open the cockpit canopy and climbed out to parachute.

The parachute swayed down, and the Ming army speedboat below scratched white marks on the sea, already waiting below to prepare for salvage. The Qing pilots who parachuted looked at the dark blue and quiet sea below and breathed a sigh of relief: they had finally survived. Not only did he survive this time, but he didn't have to play with his life anymore in the future. Although it is very sinful to fall into the sea in the winter, it will soon be fished up by the Ming army, so it is equivalent to successfully "escaping south". Besides, it was not a flight defection, but was shot down in battle, and his family would not have any major problems.

However, the perfect idea soon spread. The other Hai Dongqing saw this kid swinging in the air, and the Ming army speedboat below was also ready to be salvaged, and they were all envious. Immediately afterward, they all acted in unison.

Several people immediately shouted on the radio in frightened voices that they had been hit and that they were going to parachute immediately...... While shouting, he flew over the Ming army speedboat, slowed down, pushed open the hatch and jumped out.

For a time, the parachutes above the sea were like flowers. One after another, intact sea holly fighters, turned in circles and planted into the sea.

……

No matter how good the equipment is, no matter how good the combat skills, if it is manipulated in the hands of an army without **, it will not be able to wield its power... This time, the Qing army's fighter group totaled nearly 200 planes, of which about half of them were Haidongqing, which could compete with kingfishers, and they had a great advantage in numbers. In addition, after two or three months of hard training, if the pilots of the Qing army fought to the death with all their might, even if they did not necessarily win, they would still deal a great blow to the Ming army's aircraft group. But now, even the Qing pilots, who were Manchus themselves, were not willing to die for the regime again. All they thought about was how to survive until the end of the war.

Ming army pilots are also human beings and cherish life. But those who support them to risk their lives in air combat are convinced that what they are fighting for is the right thing. If you are wounded and killed, of course, it will be unfortunate, but there are many people who have avoided enslavement because of their own bloodshed, and many who have been enslaved have been liberated because of their own bloodshed. To put it bluntly, this bloody shed is meaningful, and this country, this government, and this war are worth fighting for with their lives.

And the Qing pilots lacked this sense of honor. They joined the army to get promoted, and they didn't intend to shed blood. Now that it's time to go to war, count yourself unlucky. Then do everything possible to get mixed up after the war and do everything possible to survive. I have nothing to defend myself. His own court is disgusting to think about, who is willing to shed blood and sacrifice for it. Isn't that a shit? If he hadn't taken care of his parents and family, he would have gone to Daming by plane.

In the sky above Shanhaiguan, two large groups of planes fought one by one, and the number was huge, and it was quite a tendency to cover the sky and the sun. But the battle went on quickly, and within half an hour it was clear.

32 Ming fighters were shot down, and 5o Qing fighters were shot down. However, this is only the number that was "shot down". However, the planes that the Qing army actually planted into the sea were twice this number. On the sea, the Ming destroyers and patrol boats also ignored their vigilance, and they were all busy fishing people out of the sea. The navy of the Ming army has always been relatively sober, and the captains of these ships understand that in the future, East Asia will definitely not be able to accommodate two sea powers at the same time. The Japanese Navy is so aggressive that it has almost clashed several times recently, so friction with Japan will be indispensable in the future. Maybe it's going to dry up at sea. Although the pilots of the Qing army who are now captured are still prisoners of war, after the destruction of the Northern Qing regime and the reunification of China, these former Qing pilots can be safely and boldly incorporated into the Ming army. Well, now it is not a captive who has been fished out of the sea, but it is all a treasure.

Half an hour after the battle, the leader of the Qing fighter team received a call from the base and immediately withdrew from the battle and returned home.

The leader of the Qing army didn't need a second sentence at all, and immediately returned with the whole team.

This is an urgent order from Beijing issued by Guangwu. The loss of the Qing army's planes was too fast, nearly 200 fighters, and more than 100 fell in half an hour, and he absolutely couldn't stand this loss. Now the Qing Air Force can be said to be so much of a family. This time, it will be fought all at once, and then tomorrow we will wait for the bomb to fall into the palace.

……

The Ming army's fighter group as a whole was fast, and it could have been pursued for a while, but the fleet commander did not order the pursuit, but let half of the remaining less than a hundred fighters stay in the sky and half go back to refuel. The dive bomber formation, which had been evacuated to the east, was recalled, and continued to bomb the Shanhaiguan fortification belt under the escort of fighters.

It wasn't until all the bombers had dropped their bombs that the group returned to load the bombs. And at this time, the fleet is singing the leading role again. Several reconnaissance planes were left over the battlefield to guide artillery fire. Now the more than a dozen shore anti-aircraft guns on the coast of Shanhaiguan have been cleared by dive bombers, and the fleet boldly approaches the coast while firing their guns, and finally drops anchor only three thousand meters from the shore to conduct accurate fire.

For three hours from about 9 a.m. when the bomber group returned to load bombs to about 12 p.m., these three battleships, one battle cruiser, four heavy cruisers, and 24 destroyers were pouring shells. The ten-kilometer-wide fortification belt of Shanhaiguan is almost as if it had been plowed by a tractor. After twelve o'clock, the naval artillery ceased fire, and more than a hundred dive bombers continued to drop bombs.

At about half past twelve, all the bombs were dropped again, and the bombers returned to load their bombs again. And the artillery fleet opened fire again, shelling the same area.

At half past three in the afternoon, the fleet ceased fire, and the battlefield observation aircraft flew low and looked down on the entire Shanhaiguan fortification group. After a total of an hour of aerial bombardment and six hours of fleet shelling, there was not a single machine-gun pillbox still in the ground in the 10-kilometer-wide area. Most of the large artillery fortifications also collapsed, and at least two-thirds of the artillery fortifications were completely destroyed. The remaining third was also in tatters, with the steel bared and the broken cement strewn from top to bottom, almost blocking the firing hole.

Now the Shanhaiguan fortification belt can no longer be called a "fortification belt", it is more appropriate to call it a "quarry" or a "demolition site".

The observer flew low over the "demolition site", and the observer looked at the mess below and judged that the fire preparation was successful and ready for a ground attack.

……

At 3:45 p.m., the general attack order came from the Nanjing Command. Hundreds of tanks and armored vehicles of the 1st Armored Division of the People's Guard Corps moved at the same time, their tracks crushing the cement quickly, and the bodies undulated, driving over the ground like the surface of the moon, and pouring into the Shanhaiguan fortification belt like a tide.

What surprised the officers and men of the 1st Division of the People's Guard was not that they did not meet resistance, but that there were still so many fortifications that seemed to have been completely destroyed, and that there were still a large number of Qing soldiers alive and well. They just crawled out like ghosts with white dust on their faces, holding anything white, and sitting nervously on the ground like puppets.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the vanguard of the 1st Armored Division crossed the Shanhaiguan fortification belt and drove into the boundary of Qinhuangdao Port.

After passing the Shanhaiguan, the distance between the mountain and the sea also increased, and the battlefield became slightly open again.

Now, it's already in the customs. Overhead, a group of dive bombers whizzed by, swooping down on targets deeper ahead.
