Takejiro Honda is now in a very excited mood, as the first person of Japan's new generation of aviation, he has long wanted to compete with the legendary god of China, but unfortunately he has never had the opportunity. Now the opportunity has not only come, but his fighter is not the previous Ninety-Six ship battle, but also a more powerful Zero Battle.

Speaking of the Zero Fight, Takejiro Honda is a burst of pride, the performance of this powerful fighter made in the empire is far beyond everyone's imagination, he was originally a squadron leader of the Kisarazu Air Force, and was transferred back to China last year as a test pilot of the Zero fighter, so to speak, he watched the Zero fighter step by step off the production line.

Although the army fought very badly, Takejiro Honda never thought that the people of China could win this war, and the ultimate winner of this war must be the Great Japanese Empire, because the Great Japanese Empire has the best pilots in the world, and the most advanced and powerful fighters in the world. He believed that with the powerful performance of the Zero fighter, it would definitely sweep the Chinese Air Force in a very short time.

This is not because Takejiro Honda is arrogant, but has been proven in actual combat. In fact, the Zero Squadron had been formed half a year ago, but it had not been carried out in actual combat, and during the Second Battle of Wuhan, the Japanese base camp transferred 36 Zero fighters of the Zero Squadron to Central China and placed them under the command of the Eleventh Army.

The Zero Squadron was a majestic force in Central China, setting a combat record for the Japanese Air Force in its first battle, shooting down more than 50 fighters of the Chinese Air Force. He piloted the Zero fighter to land at a Chinese airport during the battle, cut down the flag of the China government at the airport, and then returned to Nanjing with the blue sky and white sun flag, and presented it to His Excellency Nishio, the commander of the China Dispatch Army, and was rewarded by His Excellency Nishio, otherwise he would not have become a lieutenant in the air force at the age of less than 25 years.

In the following months, his Zero team frequently inflicted heavy losses on the Chinese Air Force, damaging and shooting down more than 200 Chinese fighters, and all members of the team became ace pilots who shot down more than five enemy planes. Due to the excellent record. His team was personally awarded the title of "Yamato Condor Sento" by His Majesty the Emperor. Become the strongest air force in the Great Japanese Empire, there is no one.

It's a pity that limited by production capacity, the production capacity of the Zero fighter is far from meeting the supply of the Imperial Navy and Army. So far, the army has only formed a total of 2 zero teams. Each team is armed with 88 Zero fighters and 88 short-range bombers. Although the navy is stronger than the army side. However, there are only 3 teams, equipped with less than 260 new fighters.

Not long ago, his team was transferred to fight in North China, in order to achieve a surprise victory. During this time, the front army command has not let them participate in the battle, even if the China Air Force came to bomb, the front army command only ordered those 95-type and 97-type teams to fight. Today it was finally his turn to play Team Zero.

"Gray dove, gray dove, I am the Condor, I am the Condor, how far is it from the battlefield!"

"Report to the Condor, there are still more than 40 kilometers, and we will be on the battlefield in 10 minutes!"

"Yo Xi, after arriving at the battlefield, each squad will hunt freely, fight quickly, and never let go of any of the fighters!" Takejiro Toyoda ordered loudly.

"Hay!"

The battle outside the city has come to an end, and the impact of the air battle just now on the ground battle is huge, seeing that the air force shot down and defeated dozens of Japanese fighters neatly, the morale of the ground troops was greatly boosted, and after the Japanese planes fled the battlefield, Wang Jiming ordered the troops to attack immediately.

On the other hand, the Japanese army obviously had not recovered from the shock just now, and they could not believe that the powerful Imperial Eagle had been defeated in this way, and in less than half an hour, dozens of fighters were shot down by the Chinese people, and the morale of the troops fell to the lowest point for a while. And the eyes of those puppet soldiers looking at the Japanese army are different, far less respectful than before, they are not stupid, knowing that the Japanese army's fleet has just suffered an unprecedented defeat. The planes were all shot down, and it was their turn to be bombed in the next battle, and all the puppet troops were uneasy, lest they be blown to pieces, and the intention of retreating was obvious.

In addition, Wang Jiming's tactics of attacking the east and west were very appropriate, so the Japanese army, which had held out for two hours, was completely defeated in just half an hour.

However, what made Wang Jiming feel incredible was that in the case of the loss of the city fortifications, the Japanese army did not break through and surrender, but fought a street battle with the instructor, although the Japanese army only had less than 1,000 people left, but it relied on the small courtyard of the gate in the city and the instructor to deal around.

Due to the small situation in the city, and the fact that there were still many ordinary people in the city, the instructor's military advantage could not be brought into play at all, so the casualties of the troops rose rapidly for a while, which made Wang Jiming extremely annoyed. This time he also agreed with Jia Jingzhong's judgment, this Japanese devil must have received a death order from the headquarters, otherwise he would not be so crazy.

But no matter how crazy the Japanese are, Wang Jiming's heart to annihilate them has never changed, as long as this Japanese army is eliminated, then it is equivalent to controlling the gateway to attack Beiping, which can be attacked and retreated, and with the strength in his hands now, the troops will be under the city of Beiping in the shortest possible time.

However, while the ground forces were advancing smoothly, the Air Force was in big trouble.

As soon as Niu Yong fought, he felt that something was wrong, the Japanese planes were too fast, their machine guns couldn't lock on to people at all, and the climb rate and turning radius were excellent, and the Yi 15 and 16 fighters they flew were not opponents at the same level as others. Within five minutes of the start of the war, seven IL-15 fighters and four IL-16 fighters were shot down, and many other fighters were damaged.

Although the Japanese had only more than 30 fighters, while they had more than 70 fighters, Niu Yong felt that his side had no chance of winning. Seeing that his comrades-in-arms around him were shot down one by one, Niu Yong knew that today's battle was completely defeated, and at the same time, he also knew that they must have encountered the Japanese army's new fighter group, otherwise they would not have been so embarrassed to lose.

Since there is no power to return to the sky, the best choice is to retreat, so Niu Yong decisively gave the order to retreat.

However, what shocked Niu Yong was that the speed of the new Japanese fighter was too powerful, and in front of it, the Soviet Union's Yi 15 and 16 were as slow as old scalpers, and before they could fly far, the Japanese Zero team caught up, so there was another fierce battle.

The Army Aviation Brigade of the 52nd Group Army of the Eighth Theater dispatched a total of 167 fighters on two occasions, 78 of which were shot down and 39 damaged, of which 23 did not land safely, and a total of 101 pilots died.

In the first air battle, the Japanese were shot down 34 fighters and 21 were damaged. In the second air battle, 2 planes were shot down and 4 were damaged, and it can be said that the Japanese Zero Squadron won a complete victory in this battle, and severely damaged the Army Aviation Brigade of the 52nd Group Army at a small cost, and after this battle, less than 70 fighters of the 52nd Group Army's fighter group were left to take off, and the rest were all gone, and their vitality was greatly damaged.

Without the protection of fighter planes, bombers and transport planes could not go out on their own to carry out their missions, otherwise they would be intercepted by Japanese fighters, and the consequences would be unimaginable. What's more important is the loss of more than 100 pilots, compared to those old fighters, those pilots are the real treasures.

When the news reached Saibei, Chen Feng was furious and secretly regretted, he had long judged that the Japanese army in North China would definitely have a zero team, but he had not received a report from the intelligence department during this time, so he subconsciously ignored it, he didn't expect the little devil to hide so deeply, and only at this time did he use a new fighter, and he gave him a big mouth as soon as he made a move.

More than 100 pilots, and all of them are excellent pilots who have participated in many actual battles, this loss even Chen Feng is a little unbearable, this is the first time since the start of the war in 1937 that Chen Feng has this kind of heart-wrenching feeling.

"What, you mean that the bitches shot at the parachuting pilots?" Chen Feng asked with a gloomy face.

Hua Rong's whole body stiffened, and he secretly said that the momentum on Commander Chen's body was getting bigger and bigger, and his face sank, and even he felt a lot of pressure, and he was about to suffocate.

"Yes Commander, many of our pilots were shamelessly shot by Japanese fighters after parachuting, including Colonel Niu Yong, when our people found Colonel Niu's body, he had a total of 6 bullet holes in his body, and one arm was broken, and he has not been found until now, judging from the wounds, he was shot first, and then fell, and he stopped breathing before he landed." Hua Rong replied cautiously.

"Smack!"

A delicate porcelain cup became Commander Chen's punching bag, falling to the ground and falling apart, miserable!

"Little devil on dog days, the tiger doesn't make a threat, I really fucking think Lao Tzu is a sick cat!" Chen Feng roared angrily.

"Commander, you first dissipate your anger, after this battle, our army is temporarily equivalent to losing the air supremacy of the Pingjin front, and when it dawns tomorrow, the Japanese air force will definitely launch a large-scale bombing of our army, which will be extremely unfavorable to our army's next battle situation. More importantly, due to the existence of this powerful new fighter group, the blitzkrieg of our army may also be put on hold. Hua Rong said worriedly.

"Stranded, why do you want to run aground, just rely on those 'air lighters' of the little devils, joke!" Chen Feng said disdainfully.

"But the performance of our air force's fighters is indeed inferior to others, I'm afraid if you fight hard," Hua Rong said with a frown.

"Hard? Does the little devil have that qualification, you can see, Lao Tzu wants to let Binshan Yuan's old dog lose even his pants! After speaking, Chen Feng slapped his hand on the desk. (To be continued......)
