Fifteen kilometers north of the "Kunpeng," Warrant Officer Sun Longxiang, who belonged to the Navy's 501st Naval Combat Squadron, piloted a brand-new HQZ-4A "Seashock Electrometro" biplane single-seat fighter as the wingman of Captain Dongfang Ming, the squadron leader, and began the first air battle in his life.

There were about 50 or 60 enemy planes attacking, and at this moment, the escort fleet carrying out air defense duty over the fleet was composed of the 501 squadron of the Kunpeng and the 507 squadron of the Yunpeng, a total of 24 planes, with four planes as a group, evenly distributed in the six directions of the fleet's wheel formation, and only Sun Longxiang's group could be put into battle as soon as possible.

"Father and Mother, I can finally avenge you."

After saying this sentence in English with a Hawaiian accent, Sun Longxiang pulled the lever, followed Dongfang Ming's long plane to climb rapidly, and rushed head-on to the black and oppressive enemy formation under the clouds!

Seventeen-year-old Sun Longxiang comes from a Chinese family in Honolulu, Hawaii, and more than two years ago, he was still attending a local Chinese church school.

Before the billowing smoke in Pearl Harbor had been extinguished, the United States began to search the Asian neighborhoods of Honolulu, and after being boycotted, they opened fire, causing the "Frank Grand Square Massacre" that killed and injured hundreds of civilians.

In the chaos, Sun Longxiang joined the Chinese guerrillas organized by the Chinese army's sleeper agents, and rescued the two legendary female pilots who crashed during the attack on Pearl Harbor - Cai Guolan and Qi Bing, and then assisted in guiding the Chinese army's special operations force's airship to land on Oahu, and even took up arms to defend the bridgehead with the Jīng special forces fighters, and made contributions far beyond their identity and age for the large army to seize the whole island by lightning, but learned the news of the death of his parents shortly after the battle......

After Hawai was pacified, by virtue of his fate with Cai Guolan and others, Sun Longxiang was specially approved to participate in the Imperial Navy Reserve Pilot Cadet Qualification Examination, and unexpectedly passed with a high score, and then entered the Preparatory Department of the Navy's Guangzhou Aviation School for theoretical study and adaptation training.

After nine months of preparatory study, Sun Longxiang was selected into the Navy's Fleet Aviation Flight Training Corps, with the goal of becoming an aircraft carrier pilot, and began a nine-month rigorous training, and his instructor was Cai Guolan, who had left the front line after the Battle of the Bay of Bengal......

Sun Longxiang, who saw Cai Guolan again, was no longer the shy and brave young man he had at the beginning, there was only ruthless hatred left in his eyes, and he just wanted to go to the front line as soon as possible to kill the "white devil" - although in Cai Guolan's opinion, he just hoped to end his life as soon as possible in some glorious way......

Due to his performance in the previous assessments, Sun Longxiang was assigned to the 501st Ship Combat Squadron with outstanding combat achievements as soon as he finished training, became the wingman of the ace squadron leader Dongfang Ming, and participated in the previous Gulf of Aden Campaign, however, until the end of the campaign, Sun Longxiang had not been able to see even a single enemy aircraft in the air.

Now, here's your chance.

The front fleet was divided into three groups: one was a large twin-engine, biplane multi-seat aircraft, numbering less than twenty, located at the front and bottom of the group; One fleet consisted of smaller, single-engine, two-wing, two-seater aircraft, numbering about twenty or thirty units, located in the group zhōngyāng; There was also a fleet of the lightest single-engine biplane single-seaters, about twenty of them, located at the rear of the group.

The fuselage and wings of all aircraft are painted with the British Royal Navy's blue, white and red sè concentric circles.

Relying on the repeated training in identifying pictures of enemy planes in peacetime, Sun Longxiang quickly identified that the twin-engine biplane was the O/100 bomber of the British Handley Pedy Company, nicknamed the "big stage" by the Chinese army; The single-engine two-seater is the F.2 fighter-bomber of the Bristol company, and the Chinese army is nicknamed the "two-headed snake"; The single-engine, single-seater aircraft is the S.E.5a fighter of the Royal Aircraft Factory, nicknamed the "Big Five-Step Snake" by the Chinese army.

The Handley Pedy O/100 bomber is equipped with two Rolls-Royce Falcon 2 250 hp liquid-cooled piston engines, with a maximum speed of 155 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 930 kilometers. In terms of armament, 1 tǐng 7.7 mm Lewis mobile machine guns are mounted on the nose and back screws, which can carry up to 520 kg of bombs, or a 450 kg 457 mm aviation torpedo.

The Bristol F.2 fighter-bomber is equipped with a Rolls-Royce Falcon 3 275 hp liquid-cooled piston engine, with a maximum speed of 198 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 593 kilometers. In terms of armament, a 1tǐng 7.7 mm Vickers heading machine gun is fixed on the left side of the nose, and a 1 tǐng 7.7 mm Lewis mobile machine gun is mounted on the recoil swivel, which can carry bombs with a total weight of up to 110 kg.

The Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a is an evolution of the S.E.5, which had previously been in the limelight during the two Solomon Naval Battles, with the main change being the upgrade of the 150hp 150hp liquid-cooled piston engine of the Hispano-Siza 8A to the 200 hp Hispano-Siza 8B, with a maximum speed of 200 km/h to 222 km/h and a maximum range of 483 km to 530 km. In terms of armament, a 1tǐng 7.7 mm Vickers heading machine gun is fixed on the left side of the nose, and a 1 tǐng 7.7 mm Lewis active machine gun is mounted on the upper wing above the cockpit, which can carry up to 44 kg of bombs.

In contrast, Sun Longxiang's Beiyang Heavy Industry "Haizhen Electric Armor" was improved from the previous "Haizhen Electric", and the main change was to upgrade the Beiyang Heavy Industry HK-11A liquid-cooled piston engine equipped with the "Haizhen Electric" to the HK-11B 360 horsepower engine, and slightly modified the aerodynamic shape, the maximum speed was increased from 235 kilometers per hour to 250 kilometers, and the maximum range was increased from 700 kilometers to 740 kilometers. In terms of armament, 1tǐng 7.92 mm Maxim heading machine guns are fixed on each side of the nose, which can carry bombs with a total weight of up to 90 kg.

The aircraft also inherits the outstanding protection of the "sea earthquake electricity", not only equipped with bulletproof armor plates around the cockpit, but also equipped with advanced bulletproof self-sealing fuel tanks, so the increased weight affects the flight of the fighter to a certain extent.

The information of the enemy and our fighters flashed in Sun Longxiang's mind like a slide - suddenly, eight S.E.5a "Big Five-Step Snakes" broke away from the group and rushed head-on towards the four "Seaquake Electric Armor" approaching the group.

The two tǐng machine guns mounted in the engine fairing spewed out glittering tongues of fire, and under the mechanical action of the shè strike coordinator, the bullets jīng accurately passed through the propellers, dragging strings of fleeting bullet marks, rampage between the metal engines, canvas méng leather, wooden plywood, and fleshy crew of the enemy plane, flying immeasurable sparks, pieces of cloth, wood chips, and blood......

In less than two puffs of cigarettes, seventeen-year-old Sun Longxiang achieved his first air combat victory, and the price paid was nothing more than a few bright bullet holes in the wings.

At the moment when the enemy and our aircraft fleets passed by, another "big five-step snake" also pulled out black smoke, burning, rolling, breaking, and falling in fragments scattered towards the sea.

The fighters of the two teams climbed and rolled sharply, and the Chinese army's "Haizhen Electric Armor" completed its action a little faster by one or two seconds with its more powerful engines, and in an instant, the belly of the remaining six "Big Five-Step Snakes" was incorporated into the aiming circle.

In the flash of light, two more "big five-step snakes" dragged out black smoke and left the queue crookedly.

There was no time to determine whose result it was, and the other four "Big Five-Step Snakes" also completed the roll, sending a dense rain of bullets to Sun Longxiang and his party.

In the blink of an eye, a "Quake Electric Armor" engine beside Sun Longxiang was shot, sparks flew everywhere, and then black smoke "suddenly" came out, and the propeller stopped rotating, but the plane did not roll out of control, but circled and glided in the direction of the "Kunpeng" mothership.

"In this way, it is impossible to land on the mothership, I can only try my best to force land on the sea near the fleet, so that I have a better chance of being rescued by the escorting destroyer, but - what does this kind of thing have to do with me?"

Sun Longxiang's mind flashed with the idea that he didn't know what the meaning of the Dao was, and he subconsciously kicked the rudder lever in his hand, left the wingman position of Captain Dongfang Ming without authorization, and bit a "big five-step snake" that seemed to want to escape.

Dive, roll, and side-slide, Sun Longxiang drove the plane closely after the violently maneuvering "Big Five-Step Snake", patiently shortening the distance, until the tail profile of the enemy plane filled the outermost round frame of the aiming circle, and then he gritted his teeth and pressed the shè button.

The two tǐng machine guns in the nose spat out blazing red tongues of fire, and the smoke was swept by the strong wind pouring from the propeller and slammed on the windshield......

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and his vision was full of explosive fragments and flames, and Sun Longxiang suddenly realized that he was too close!

Sun Longxiang closed his eyes in reverse, only to feel that the plane shook violently, and there was a whistling in his ears, and when he opened his eyes, there was already a blue sky and white clouds in front of him, and before he could catch his breath, the engine in the nose fairing screamed sharply, trembling as if he was about to break free from the body, forcing him to hurriedly turn off the accelerator.

The engine quickly quieted down, and Sun Longxiang, who had finally come back to his senses, looked at it closely, and his mind suddenly went blank - the propeller was gone!

"Impossible, this kind of thing, this kind of thing has anything to do with me......"

While muttering to himself, Sun Longxiang felt that the shaking of the fuselage was becoming more and more difficult to control, and after looking around, he found that there were several irregular gaps on the wings and horizontal tail, which should be the damage caused by accidentally intruding into the explosion range of the enemy plane just now.

Although the fighter plane that had lost power was still gliding with his habit, the altitude was constantly decreasing, and Sun Longxiang had to make a forced landing on the sea near the fleet before completely losing altitude, so that the destroyers in the fleet could be salvaged nearby. Otherwise, once our fleet is far away from this sea area, Sun Longxiang's only hope for survival is to be discovered and rescued by enemy warships, and become a prisoner of war who does not know when he will return to the motherland.

"This is my first real battle, I haven't killed enough white devils, not enough, far from enough, I want to live, kill more white devils, until the white devils in this world no longer dare to despise our Chinese, no longer dare, despise our yellow people in Asia......"

Cheering himself up, Sun Longxiang subconsciously glanced back while gliding in the direction of the mothership: less than 500 meters above the oblique sky, a lone "big five-step snake" had already aimed its nose at him......

……

"Kunpeng" bridge.

Bi Ling Bō looked at the blue sky and white clouds between Asia and Africa, a cloud of smoke bloomed in the sky, and black lines intertwined into the sea, a one-sided fleet air defense battle seemed to have come to an end: the attacking enemy aircraft group was first shot down by more than half of the guard fighters over the fleet, and then suffered heavy damage when passing through the fleet's own anti-aircraft fire circle, the surviving enemy planes dropped bombs on the escort ships on the outer layer of the wheel array, and only a few aircraft were able to drop bombs on the two aircraft carriers of the ship array. None of them were directly hit, and there were no casualties, and the real result worth mentioning was a near-miss bomb that caused a slight flooding of the bow of the "Kunpeng".

"It seems that I am overthinking, and the legendary Strait Air Force is nothing more than that......"

Before Bi Ling's words fell, the horn above his head suddenly rustled: "Signal station report, signal station report, Thunderbolt raised the flag: This ship has been torpedoed, all the fleet should pay attention to submarine prevention!" ”

…… RS！。
