At about five o'clock in the morning of November 10th, just after dawn, the two devils on duty at the Xiaokengkou outpost in Taipei County, Taiwan, were listless, and suddenly, one of them heard the roar of the engine, and he immediately woke up." Strange, it seems to be the sound of an airplane? He muttered to himself, looked over to the place where the voice came from, and then exclaimed: "Fighter, fighter!" Fighters of the Chinese people! ”

His companion immediately stood up straight and shouted, "Where, where?" What, what? Then he looked in the direction of his finger. Yes! Really! Hurry up and report to the squadron leader. The people of China are not going to attack us, are they? ”

A silver-white fighter plane flew straight from the northwest, then made a semicircle and headed northeast.

Five minutes later, when the supreme commander in the barracks behind the outpost, a lieutenant, received the report and came out to check, although the sound of the fighter plane's engine could still be heard, the figure of the fighter plane had disappeared into the light radiating from the east.

"Are you sure it's a fighter from the China?" The captain asked the two sentinels.

The two sentinels weren't sure. Seeing this, the captain asked them to remain on duty and went back to the barracks. The entry of the Guards Division into Taiwan was regarded as highly confidential by Kobayashi Jizao, and the level of these devils was too low to be known. Cai Liansen also learned about it from Guangcun Yoshio by chance, and told his father Cai Yinghao. Cai Yinghao regarded it as showing off his capital, and he was detected by Guo Dai and them.

The one who piloted the white-sided dolphin was a captain named Hong Guangyi of the Air First Division.

When Tie Linfei, Xue Changkong, and others were formulating an air raid plan, they designated the waters of Diaoyu Dao, about 150 kilometers off the coast of Taipei, as the air raid site. Fuzhou is only about 500 kilometers away from the Diaoyu Islands in a straight line, and the white-sided dolphin can fly to this distance in an hour. After careful calculations, they determined that the reinforcement fleet of the Guards Division would arrive in the area between 7 and 8 a.m., and for the sake of safety, starting at 4 a.m. and every 20 minutes, a white-sided dolphin would be released from the Fuzhou airfield to carry out reconnaissance missions. Hong Guangyi was on the first reconnaissance mission, and his route was to approach the coast of Taipei and then turn towards the Diaoyu Islands from there to prevent the possibility of missing out on the reinforcement fleet.

The co-pilot of this white-sided dolphin was temporarily installed next to a transmitter. After passing over the coast of Taipei, Hong Guangyi said to Zhang Liulian, a communications staff officer of the Air Force Command who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat: "Staff Officer Zhang, you can send a telegram to the command headquarters, and no enemy ship group has been found. ”

"What a shame!" Zhang Liulian responded, turned on the telegraph, and skillfully emitted a series of radio waves.

A few seconds later, the "capsizing" operation headquarters located in the aviation building of Fuzhou Airport received this message. The message was quickly deciphered and presented to Tie Linfei, who glanced at it and said to Deputy Commander Zhuang Houzhong: "Let the others follow the two sets of plans!" ”

Zhuang Houzhong agreed, picked up the phone and called the pilot's lounge below, informing Xue Changkong, who was sitting there: The next few sets of reconnaissance planes will be implemented according to the two sets of plans.

Ten minutes later, another white-sided dolphin took off into the air and then flew directly in the direction of the Diaoyu Islands. Another twenty minutes passed, and another white-sided dolphin rose into the air, following the flight direction of the previous fighter, and soon disappeared into the blue sky and white clouds.

The white-sided dolphin can reach a cruising range of 1,500 kilometers, far exceeding that of reconnaissance planes of the same era, which is one of the reasons why Ouyang Yun is full of confidence in this air raid operation. As long as the exact time of the Guards Division is known in advance, then the Cadet Air Force will be able to obtain the specific location of the incoming fleet through continuous reconnaissance, and then launch an air attack.

For this "capsizing" operation, Tie Linfei dispatched almost all the white-sided dolphins and air fortresses. Among them, the size of 48 Dolphin fighters alone has reached the scale of four brigades, and in addition, five "Iron Harrier" bombers and three "Yangtze Alligator" torpedo planes, which have recently been converted from the prototype of the Dolphin, will also be put into battle. The Flying Fortress, except for a few that are undergoing overhaul, will also participate, bringing the total to thirty-four.

There are a total of five military airports in Fujian and Guangdong, of which Baiyunshan and Fuzhou airports are the largest. These comrades-in-arms, who used to train together and fight together in a division or even a squadron for many years, have been promoted to squadron commanders and group commanders, and now they have been regrouped together because of this operation, and everyone's mood is very high.

"The third child, we couldn't participate in 'Sunken', this time, we have to play well!"

"I don't aim high, three ships! 10,000 tons! ”

"Isn't that high? Don't blow the bull out, you kid! ”

The people who were discussing how many ships to be blown up and sunk were all pilots of the Flying Fortress, and the bomb load of the Aerial Fortress was about ten tons, and they really had the capital to be so awesome and coaxing.

"Lao Zuo, I heard that you have shot down two devil fighters?"

"Well, fight for three this time! Hehe, that's going to be a trump card. ”

"Damn, Lao Tzu used to fly Hawk, and now he flies the white-sided dolphin, everything has to start from scratch!"

"Take your time, didn't I come through it step by step? This kind of thing can't be rushed! ”

Naturally, those who talk like this are fighter pilots. Bomber pilots discussed how many enemy ships to be blown up, and they discussed how many enemy planes to shoot down. This old Zuo Nai is a new captain of the Third Air Division, named Zuo Anzhao. Zuo Anzhao once participated in the "Sunken" operation, when he flew a Hawker bomber, and this time, he will fly a white-sided dolphin to escort the bomber force.

After Xue Changkong's accumulated combat merits were promoted to deputy commander of the Air Force, his deputy Wang Hai took over his position as the commander of the 1st Air Force Division. Seeing that everyone looked unwilling to stop, he coughed twice and shouted, "Are you very energetic?" Got this kung fu? Why don't you think about how you'll fly later? Zuo Anzhao! ”

"Here!"

"This time, the little devil has the 'Canglong' aircraft carrier to escort it, and there are at least about fifty fighters, and we only have forty-eight fighters, so don't be careless!"

"Yes!"

……

When his subordinates were discussing enthusiastically, Xue Changkong was always closing his eyes and recuperating. More than an hour passed, when everyone was gradually feeling tired, he opened his eyes and said to Wang Hai: "Wang Hai, take everyone to sing a song." ”

"Huh?"

"Just sing "Return from Target Shooting". I hope that this 'overturning' operation is just a tactical exercise for us. I don't want anyone to fail to make it back when I get back here and join the troops! ”

"Yes!" This time, Wang Hai replied loudly.
