Liu Cuigang was targeted by the commander of the Soviet air formation, Major General Sashkov, chief of staff of the Air Force of the Transcaucasian Military District.

It is the position of the commander of this air formation, and it is also the deliberate arrangement of the commander Admiral Konev, the three fighter divisions go out together, there must be a heavyweight, in the center of coordination and command, obviously, the division commander does not have such weight, the commander Admiral Konev is in command, it is impossible to lead the team to fight, not to mention, if the number one person in the air force is a little missed, the others will have no way to live!

The fighter pilots of the independent division, no matter how high and powerful the commander of the air force of your military region is, and the bullets are still shot down from the sky; Comrade Political Affairs is a full-time political work cadre, and he usually plays tricks and shows off his advanced theoretical attainments, and he is an expert; if he pilots a fighter plane into the air to fight, I am afraid that Comrade Political Affairs will not even know where the control stick of the fighter plane is.

Therefore, this glorious and arduous task fell on the chief of staff, Major General Sashkov, but for the safety of Comrade Chief of Staff, before taking off, Commander Konev specially instructed to send a squadron of fighters to protect the safety of the Chief of Staff.

Liu Cuigang decided that it was a big fish, just looking at the posture protected by six Soviet fighters, he was not an ordinary character, and the air battle scene was lively, but he was watching the battle from the sidelines.

Liu Cuigang said to the wingman: "See, the seven Soviet fighters hanging around next to it, there are big fish, cover me, let's kill him!" ”

The wingman pilot is an experienced pilot. Hurriedly said: "Zero zero one, you can't take risks, two against six, we are not sure, my responsibility is to protect your safety, I don't agree with your approach!" ”

Liu Cuigang scolded with a smile: "Your kid is confused, I didn't say just the two of us, call a squadron of the 10th Regiment, eight to seven, this time you are sure, right?" ”

The wingman pilot was happy. immediately called: "The three squadrons of the 10th regiment and the 1st brigade will immediately move closer to 001 and 001!" There are important tasks! ”

In an instant, six fighters arrived like lightning, and the squadron leader asked: "Zero zero one." Three squadrons arrived, please instruct! ”

Liu Cuigang said simply: "Follow me." Catch the big fish! "Finished. Push the joystick violently, and the fighter shoots out like an arrow off the string!

The Soviet fighter pilots who can serve as Major General Sashkov's air guard are not simple roles, Liu Cui just commanded seven fighters to fight out of the battle circle, and the squadron leader saw that things were not good, these fighters of the independent division. It was clearly aimed at the chief of staff, and he immediately called, and the nearby fighter squadron came to support, immediately. There were three squadrons of Soviet fighters, out of the battle circle, and came closer.

At this time, the fighter groups on the left and right flanks of the Soviet army had already gotten rid of the entanglement of the fighters of the independent division, quickly leaned over, and the air battle began, but in about ten minutes, Liu Cuigang's tactics did not have an effect, and the containment of the other two Soviet fighter groups failed.

More than 1,200 fighters from both sides launched a large-scale aerial battle in the airspace south of the Sesagoge River, and the dawn of dawn pierced through layers of thin clouds and turned the eastern sky into a magnificent pale red, and what made the morning light fade was the sharp whistling of the engine that shook the sky, the strings of bullets flying in the air with orange ballistics, and the firelight that exploded in the sky from time to time, and the fighter planes planted to the ground one after another.

As soon as the battle began, it entered a white-hot process, and the pilots on both sides knew that the strong opponent they encountered was a situation of endless death, and when Liu Cuigang pounced on Major General Sashkov's plane, he had already received a report from the left and right flanks to contain the troops, "After paying a certain price, the Soviet fighter group was inflicted heavy losses, and the containment failed, and the three Soviet fighter groups would be combined." ”

At this time, there was no strategy to speak of, it was a face-to-face fight with bayonets, relying on the pilot's plainness, technology, courage and fighter performance, Liu Cuigang was not worried about this, and the troops that had fought with the Kwantung Army Air Force for several years were still able to play the prestige of the Northern Flying Group when facing the Soviet pilots.

Liu Cuigang's offensive action is the only way to quickly change the situation of the war, and killing the air commander of the Soviet army is equivalent to knocking out the command system of the Soviet aircraft group, and the Soviet aircraft group will inevitably be in chaos.

Closer, closer, even the number on the body of the Soviet fighter jet can be seen, Liu Cuigang's fingers have been pressed on the launch button, suddenly, the black shadow in front of him flashed, and then, a few strings of bullets flew over, it was a Soviet fighter jet, regardless of its own safety, blocked in front of Liu Cuigang, Liu Cuigang pulled the control stick sharply, the fighter flew up at a large elevation angle, and the bullet flew under the belly.

This Soviet fighter jet swept from below with a whistling whistle, and then, Liu Cuigang adjusted its flight attitude, rolled in the air at a beautiful 360 degrees, the fuselage was buckled upside down, and three strings of bullets were fired, and the tongue of fire visible to the naked eye slammed into the body of the Soviet fighter, "Boom!" With a loud bang, a dark red ball of fire exploded in the sky, and the broken metal fragments were like blooming flowers, with the splendor of death!

"Zero zero one, play beautifully!" The wingman pilot couldn't help but shout, for his commander's amazing aerial combat skills, the fighter pilots of the Northern Flying Group were already commonplace, and it was no surprise that the wingman pilot also subconsciously shouted.

But Liu Cuigang's actions fell in the eyes of Soviet fighter pilots, it was a terrifying killer, especially the crisp killing action, looking at it made the back of the head feel a cool breeze, Liu Cuigang's fighter plane was flattened, and both sides of the nose were still killing towards Major General Sashkov's plane, and the rows of bright five-pointed stars, shining brightly in the dawn of the newborn, all showed that there were at least dozens of opponents who fell under the guns of this independent division pilot.

Major General Sashkov looked frightened, flying a fighter is not a problem, but when it comes to air combat, compared with the opponent, it is a few streets away, he hurriedly called: "Escort squadron, this is the ace pilot of the independent division, shoot it down immediately, great honor, waiting for every one of you pilots!" ”

It should be admitted that the words of Major General Sashkov played a certain role, not only did the escort squadron desperately intercept Liu Cuigang's attack, but even the Soviet fighters in the vicinity also swarmed over and shot down the ordinary pilots of the independent division, compared with shooting down the ace pilots of the independent division, plus protecting the safety of the comrades of the chief of staff, that was more tempting, the Soviet pilots were not fools, and they knew it very well in their hearts!

For a time, in the air combat battlefield, such a strange phenomenon was formed, Liu Cuigang led eight fighters to attack Major General Sashkov's small formation, behind them, dozens of Soviet fighters, like crazy chasing, farther behind, more independent division fighters, but chasing these Soviet fighters fiercely.

The sight halo of Liu Cuigang's fighter has already been put on the target fighter of the Soviet army, and it only needs to be close to a few hundred meters to reach the effective range, and a few strings of bullets will be sent over, and the commander of the air formation of the Soviet fighter will explode into a brilliant fireball, and it should be over!

However, the battle situation has changed, the fighter squadron guarding Major General Sashkov, regardless of the qiē pounced, a string of flames came out of the nose, and the Soviet fighters following behind, regardless of whether the distance was enough, opened fire together, for a while, in the sky, the trajectory flew sideways, the bullets whistled, Liu Cuigang's fighter plane, the body trembled violently, and seven or eight large holes appeared on the left wing.

"Shot!" Liu Cuigang couldn't help but smile bitterly, it was the first time he was shot in the sky for many years, but fortunately, he didn't hit the vital part of the plane, when he looked up, the Soviet fighter had lost a trace, and the seven fighters that followed him were entangled by more than a dozen Soviet fighters, and the fight was inseparable, and around him, there were three Soviet fighters.

Push the joystick, dodge a string of bullets, look at the time, the Soviet bomber group, it should have arrived, Liu Cuigang ordered: "Meng Qingpeng, the second echelon will take off immediately and attack the Soviet bomber group!" ”

Suddenly, two Soviet fighters, flying head-on, far away, began to shoot, Liu Cuigang sneered, a side slide jump, let one of them, and then, the fighter turned upside down, turned into a Soviet fighter in front, he was in a favorable position behind, his finger lightly pressed the launch button, and the target exploded in the air, "The third one!" Liu Cuigang thought to himself, but he still regretted that the big fish was hiding under the protection of more than a dozen fighters of the Soviet Army and could not succeed.

Suddenly, a hurried shout came from the earphones: "Zero zero one! You have been bitten by an enemy plane, get rid of it! "It was the wingman pilot who found that the commander's fighter plane was surrounded by three Soviet fighters, one of which had sneaked up from behind, the situation was very dangerous, and he reminded him, and he himself was also entangled by two Soviet fighters and could not cover with his own body!

Liu Cuigang almost subconsciously, pushed the joystick suddenly, the fighter plane suddenly accelerated to climb, several strings of flashing bullets, close to the belly of the plane swept underneath, thrilling, as long as the action was slow for a few seconds, those bullets will enter the plane.

However, the accident still happened, from the left front of Liu Cuigang's fighter, suddenly drilled out a Soviet fighter plane, the distance was almost in an instant, the nose of this Soviet fighter, suddenly appeared several tongues of fire, one of which, in the blink of an eye, drilled into Liu Cuigang's fighter, Liu Cuigang's fighter fuselage trembled, and a puff of smoke came out.
