Seeing this, Yamaguchi couldn't help but scold, and hurriedly led a fighter team (shortly after the full-scale invasion of China began, the Japanese Army Aviation canceled the establishment of the brigade and replaced it with several squadrons to form a squadron, a flight regiment composed of several squadrons, and a flight group composed of several flight regiments Generally speaking, the strength of a flying team is stronger than a previous flight group, and it can even be compared with a flight wing. Chased after (Note 1)

When Li Guidan saw more than 40 devil fighters chasing after him, he immediately happily shouted to the second division through the radio, "Fortunately, we have taken away at least half of the devil fighters, and it's up to you below!" ”

Gao Zhihang, who had long been eager to fight, was overjoyed when he received it, and immediately ordered the Soviet pilots under him in Russian, "Young men, let's go!" ”。 The 108 Soviet-style I16 fighters, which had previously been covered by the clouds, immediately pounced on the Japanese bombers that were only protected by one fighter team like tigers in the mountains

"Baga, I fell for the plan of the people of China to divert the tiger from the mountain!" The deputy commander of the Devil's Flying Regiment couldn't help but curse secretly when he saw the menacing Soviet fighter group, but at this time, the fighter team taken away by Yamaguchi Osa had already flown away, and the airborne radio was as bad as ever, and it was never able to be contacted, and the Japanese army could only rely on the less than 50 fighters left behind to meet the Soviet fighters who were more than twice as many as themselves

Although they knew the plan, the devil's fighters did not hesitate to meet them, and in order to protect the dozens of bombers, they had no way to retreat. Moreover, with the usual arrogance of the devil pilots, even if it is one-on-two, they do not think that they will lose, which can be seen from the fact that the Japanese bomber group did not stay away from the battlefield and obviously did not want to abort the scheduled air raid

Although it was the first time to fly a Soviet-based fighter to fight against the Japanese army's new Nakajima 97 fighter, Gao Zhihang, who had experienced a hundred battles, quickly made a good start. When the aura of the sight firmly locked on an enemy plane, Gao Zhihang immediately pressed the launch button of the 7.62mm aviation machine gun without hesitation, and the two machine guns suddenly shot out a long tongue of fire. The Japanese pilots should also be very experienced, and they immediately made evasive actions, but they were all predicted by Gao Zhihang in advance. After several hundred machine-gun bullets swept through in succession, the cockpit of the Nakajima Type 97 fighter was penetrated several times, and the pilot was killed instantly

However, the first to achieve results in the Soviet aid air force was the squadron leader of the 7th Squadron, Alexander Brown. He. Captain Pokryshkin and his wingman Grigory. Andreevich. Lieutenant Rechkalov showed even more excellent flying than many of the old pilots in battle, and the shooting jishu, which they were rated "excellent" in the previous assessment, was also fully demonstrated. In a short time, the two young eagles were captured, which gave great encouragement to the 7th Fighter Squadron and even the entire Soviet Air Force. However, as an excellent pilot with rich experience in flight and actual combat, although Gao Zhihang was pleasantly surprised that the flight time of these Soviet boys, who had an average flight time of just over 200 hours (including the flight time in the amateur aviation school before they came to China), was not inferior to the Japanese Army Aviation, he also faintly felt that there was a slight gap in the performance of the fighters of the two sides. Fortunately, this group of Soviet pilots was still inexperienced. But the talent is generally extremely high, and the level of jishu has improved very quickly, otherwise the biggest flaw of the I-16 fighter - it is not easy to maneuver will definitely explode in a large area on the battlefield, then it is called fatal!

"I didn't expect Lucia to have such a powerful pilot," a ghost pilot who had been hit by several bullets unconsciously sighed before he took his last breath. It's just that if he knew the identity of the enemy who killed him, he would die for himself in the hands of two newcomers? Or do you feel honored to enjoy the combined attack of two future shijie-level aces? …,

Under the leadership of Captain Pokryshkin. The 7th Fighter Squadron of the Soviet Air Force got better and better, shooting down and damaging more than 20 Japanese planes in just 10 minutes, of which the golden duo of Pokryshkin and Rechkalov alone shot down five Japanese planes. But at this time, Captain Pokryshkin, who was fighting hard, suddenly received an order from the acting division commander Gao Zhihang, "Implement Plan No. 2, no love is allowed!" ”

"Weishenme wants to retreat? We clearly have the upper hand! The young and vigorous Captain Pokryshkin immediately shouted into the microphone, but he immediately realized that he had unknowingly lost more than 30 planes, some of which were shot down, and some of them were seriously injured and could not continue to fight and withdrew from the battlefield. Of course, the losses of the Japanese planes were even greater, and more than 40 of them were shot down, of which the bombers lost more than half, but the total number of them was large, and if they continued to fight hard like this, the limited number of planes of the Soviet aid air force could not withstand consumption, and what was even worse was that the Japanese fighter team that had been led away before had returned, although there seemed to be a few less, but the total number was still around 40, and after the two Japanese aircraft groups converged, the Soviet aid air force had no chance of winning

"Please let our Seventh Squadron break down." , Captain Pokryshkin immediately asked for battle. In the previous battle, he had already found that the devil's Nakajima 97 fighter was faster than the I16 fighter they were piloting, and if the whole army retreated directly, the loss would be great if the devil kept beating him, and some planes must be left to delay the enemy. Captain Pokryshkin is not unaware that the plane left behind must be unlucky, but "someone has to do this kind of thing"

Gao Zhihang quickly agreed to Captain Pokryshkin's request, although he knew that Hu Weidong attached great importance to this young man, but as Pokryshkin himself said, "someone has to die", and the 7th Squadron, which has the highest average quality of pilots, has a much greater grasp than other squadrons to carry out this task. However, Gao Zhihang still reminded through the on-board radio, "Don't just care about the war, fight and retreat, and lure the enemy by the way, otherwise it will be difficult to get out." ”

Note 1: The devil pilot Jishu during World War II was indeed very powerful, but I don't know if it was a defect in the military merit system that caused their fighter pilots to be too belligerent, and the fighters who escorted Yamamoto Fifty-six in history were easily led away by US aircraft, resulting in the Yamamoto Fifty-six seater without fighter protection being shot down by another group of US planes, and now it is just escorting dozens of bombers, and it is easier to lead away (you are welcome to your support, which is my biggest motivation.) )
