In the east, the sun is rising from the clouds. The sky slowly became brighter and warmer, but in the air, it was obviously closer to the sun, but Sasaki couldn't help but feel a chill.

The fleet of the Cadets flew in from the east, with their backs to the sun. Although the sun did not rise very high in the morning, if the Japanese plane wanted to dive from a high place to fight the fighter planes of the Cadet Army, their vision must have been affected. When Yamashima's plane exploded into flames in the air and then flew into flaming debris, Sasaki had just lifted his plane to an ideal height. The sunlight made his eyes narrow, and in the midst of his slitted gaze, another fighter plane was hit by a rocket, turning into a flaming fireball.

The first landing of the experimental rocket and the bomb magazine in the air combat achieved very good results. Among them, Tie Linfei shot down two enemy planes in the first launch, and it is worth mentioning that all of them were fighters, including a relatively advanced Ki-12.

The appearance of this new weapon greatly shocked the Japanese pilots led by Sasaki, and as a senior pilot, the unfavorable environment in which the aircraft group was located made the Japanese pilots, who were originally full of confidence in themselves, cast a shadow in their hearts early. "The most important thing now is to break through the defense line of the Zhina, at least to form a north-south battle line with the Zhina fighters, and then try to give it a fight!" Sasaki quickly made a decision in his mind. Thinking of doing so, he quickly issued an order, requiring all fighters to pull away in the north and south directions at the fastest speed, and then make a detour to block the fighters of the Cadet Army. At the same time, he demanded that the bomber formations break through at full speed, hoping to minimize losses.

The air battle that took place over Dingzhou, Hebei Province, China, on 14 June 1936 is known by historians as the "June 14" air battle. This was the largest air battle that took place in the world before the start of World War II, and it was also one of the few large-scale air battles in the history of the Sino-Japanese air force engagement. Later people analyzed that one of the most important factors why the young cadet army air force was able to achieve victory and relatively exaggerated results in this air battle was that the Japanese regarded this operation as a surprise attack, so the group was dominated by bombers with no or almost no air combat capability, and only a very small number of fighters were equipped, and this gave the young cadet army fighter pilots an opportunity to take advantage of. It is no exaggeration to say that from the moment Feng Yuanxiu transmitted the information to Ouyang Yun, the outcome of this air battle was already doomed.

Later, many military analysts believed that at that time, the tactical orders issued by Sasaki, the supreme commander of the Japanese aircraft group, were timely and effective, but in the face of three times his own Cadet Army fighters and the air combat position that had seized superior resources, all Sasaki's efforts were in vain.

Yes, along with the Cadet Army Air Force, there is another weapon that is famous, and that is rockets!

Five Cadet Corps fighters equipped with rocket carriers achieved the ultimate goal of shooting down 11 enemy planes, the most impressive of which was achieved by piloting a white swing numbered 027 and an I-16. He was subordinate to the 3rd Flying Group and was responsible for intercepting and pursuing enemy bombers. With just pressing the rocket launch button, he shot down four Japanese fighters, including one fighter.

The vast majority of the young cadet pilots have no actual combat experience. To put it mildly, their enthusiasm for participating in the war and their spirit of not being afraid of death are far higher than their own control skills. During the service, the Cadet Corps lost a total of 26 fighters, one of which was due to pilot error, in order to avoid the pursuit of enemy planes, the nose of the plane was pressed too low, and as a result, it crashed into the ground......

The Japanese lost a total of seventy-nine fighters in this air battle, including eighteen fighters, and Sasaki's fighters were one of them. It was Tie Linfei who shot him down.

Sasaki had already shot down two Cadet Army fighters, including a more advanced I-16, and he had a chance to leave calmly, but for some unknown reason (many historians believe that perhaps it was the fault of the megalomania peculiar to the Japanese, because Tie Linfei shot down three fighters and one bomber with cannons in addition to two enemy planes with rockets), he chose to stay, and single-handedly picked up Tie Linfei and his wingman.

The battle went quite thrillingly. After some of the bomber groups broke through the blockade line of the Third Flying Group that day, at this moment, the three major formations of the Cadet Corps had been completely confused together, and it was difficult to distinguish each other, and everyone was fighting by feeling, which was also one of the most important mistakes made by the Cadet Corps Air Force in this battle summed up after the Tielin Flying War.

From beginning to end, Sasaki's nose was always facing Tie Linfei's fighter. On several occasions, Tie Linfei's wingman even took the initiative to send it to his gun, but he was stunned and did not fire. Sasaki's idea was simple, that is, to shoot down the car of the opposing supreme commander in order to make up for the mistakes he had made in this air battle.

At the beginning, Tie Linfei was completely chased and beaten. Fortunately, the engine of the Hawker III modification provided a powerful power that allowed him to always get out of the most dangerous situations, and on several occasions he made tumbling movements. One of the most dangerous times, just as he pulled the fighter plane to roll from the right side, several shells whizzed past the cabin above his head, and narrowly touched the antenna of the walkie-talkie.

It was also after this tumbling that Tie Linfei had a chance to fight back when he pulled up the fuselage. Then, the two staged the most thrilling scene in the history of air combat. In the eyes of the audience, it seemed that the fighters of the two people were facing each other, and the distance between them was no more than ten kilometers. At such a distance, the speed of the two sides exceeding 400 kilometers per hour will meet in an instant. And just before the hedge, the guns of both sides burst into flames at the same time. The tracer bullet drew a bright trajectory in the air, and under the quiet gaze of Liu Dakai and others, the Japanese plane with the sun flag painted on its tail exploded first. At the same time, the distance between the two fighters was no more than a thousand meters, and when everyone was terrified that Tie Linfei and his fighter plane would definitely collide with the fireball formed by the explosion of the Japanese plane, Tie Linfei once again showed his super control skills, and the "Hawk" III suddenly fell from the sky like a bird with folded wings...... And just when everyone was worried about whether it would have a warm embrace with the earth like the previous fighter, in the background of Sasaki's fighter plane dismembered into pieces and turned into small flaming fireballs flying around, the "Hawk" III magically pulled up again.

Including Liu Dakai, the people on the ground of the base who saw this scene all cheered.

- Victory!
