Half an hour later, the fighters pursuing the remnants of the Japanese army returned one after another, and Qin Shou personally went to the airport runway to greet these heroes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Commander, fortunately, we have defeated the Japanese * himself!" A squadron leader said to Qin Shou with a smile on his face.

"Haha, nice job. I hope that you will be able to shoot down more Japanese planes, and you will be able to become super aces when the time comes! Qin Shou patted these pilots on the shoulder and encouraged.

Qin Shou's encouragement is undoubtedly a recognition of these pilots. This also made these pilots who had gone through a hard battle very happy. They fight to the death with the enemy in the sky, and if they are not careful, they may spill blood in the sky, just to protect their home and defend the country and prove their worth. Now, they have undoubtedly been recognized.

The officers and soldiers of the airfield began to repair the blown up shells. The staff officers began to count the results and losses of this time.

Soon, the battle report was delivered to Qin Shou. In this battle, a total of 8 of the 72 P-51B fighters dispatched by the Air Force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army were shot down and 5 pilots were killed.

Such a loss is undoubtedly a huge loss for the newly created anti-Japanese National Salvation Army air force. However, this loss is nothing compared to the results they have achieved. The 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army dispatched 186 fighters of various types this time. However, in the end, very few escaped, only 7 Type 1 fighters. The rest of the fighters were all destroyed.

Although, in the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army, more than a dozen fighters are still being overhauled. But even if you count it all, there are only more than two dozen fighters. It can be said that in this war, they have lost air supremacy on the Indochina Peninsula.

The Air Force under the jurisdiction of the Japanese Southern Army was only the 3rd Air Army. The entire 3rd Air Force has a total of more than 500 fighters of various types. However, on the battlefield in Burma, they have already lost more than two hundred aircraft. This was a traumatic loss for the 3rd Air Army. You know, another flying division of the 3rd Air Army, the 9th Flying Division, is deployed in the Pacific Ocean. On the Indochina Peninsula, there was only the 5th Flying Division. However, in this battle, they lost them all.

"Congratulations, Qin, your troops for a great victory. If every unit that fought against the Japanese army was able to achieve a great victory like your troops. I think we'll be able to easily defeat the Japanese himself. Lieutenant Colonel Steven arrived at the airport to congratulate the relatives.

"Steven, although we won, this battle is very hard. We lost a full eight planes, and five pilots, after parachuting, were shot by the inhumane shooting of the Japanese themselves. Even the airfield was bombed, and the air defense forces suffered heavy losses. "In front of the Americans, Qin Shou always looks like he is spitting out bitterness.

"Okay, Qin, you don't need to say it, I know what you mean. I have reported your victory to General Stilwell. General Stilwell was also very satisfied with the victory of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force. He asked me to tell you that he has applied to the U.S. Army General Staff for more fighters for you. I believe that a large number of fighters will be handed over to you soon. "Lieutenant Colonel Steven knew very well what Qin Shou meant.

"Well, that's great. It seems that we will have to build a second airfield and train more pilots. Qin Shou couldn't help laughing.

The more aid the Americans provide, the stronger the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army will become. It will be easier for them to defeat the Japanese themselves in the South Seas.

"That's right, Qin. Although the air team is doing very well. But the most important thing is still the upcoming decisive battle between you and the Burmese front. This decisive battle is about the ownership of Myanmar. Lieutenant Colonel Steven reminded.

"Don't worry, Steven. The air force will launch an attack on the airfield of the Japanese army tomorrow. Destroy their airfield completely. When the time comes, Burma's air supremacy will be ours. With the support of the Air Force, it will be easier for our land forces to defeat the Japanese Burmese Front. I promise you, it won't be long before we can get a brilliant victory! ”

The victory won by the air team made Qin Shou more confident in the next battle.

Lieutenant Colonel Steven nodded and said no more. He is also very confident in Qin Shou and the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army. Sometimes, he even wondered if this guy could be God's illegitimate child, otherwise, how could he have such good fortune?

Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai, the station of the 3rd Flying Division of the 3rd Air Army of the Japanese Army.

Seven Type 1 fighters landed on the airfield in turn. The fuselage of the plane is full of bullet holes. It can be seen how powerful these fighters have been attacked, and it is a miracle that they can escape back under such an attack.

It's just that the whole airport seems to be filled with a solemn atmosphere, and even those ground staff are equally unsmiling.

Hideo Miyabe climbed out of his landline.

He took a deep breath and calmed himself. He knew that after suffering such a heavy loss, his fate was probably decided.

"Your Excellency Shaozuo, Your Excellency the Division Commander wants to see you!"

As soon as Hideo Miyabe stepped off the plane, a group of gendarmes greeted him.

"I see." A wry smile flashed on Hideo Miyabe's face.

Soon, Hideo Miyabe arrived at the office of the division commander, Lieutenant General Hideyo Obata, and in addition to Lieutenant General Hidera Obata, the chief of staff, Osa Kuwatsuka, was also there.

It's just that the faces of the two of them are gloomy as if they can drip water.

Before Hideo Miyabe returned, they had already received the report. In this battle, the Japanese 5th Flying Division was defeated. Of the 186 warplanes dispatched, only 7 remained. This was undoubtedly a fatal blow to the 5th Flying Division.

"Miyabe-kun, why is this happening? Why is there such a big loss? Lieutenant General Hidera Obata's voice was a little muffled. It can be heard that he is suppressing the anger in his heart.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, you deserve death for the crime of despicable duty! Please allow the division commander to be humiliated and retain the last dignity of a samurai. "Hideo Miyabe knew that he would definitely die this time, so he took the initiative to ask for death.

"I allow you to seppuku. Not only do you have to seppuku, but I can't escape either. I want to know, why did we lose so badly? A hint of bitterness flashed across Lieutenant General Hidera Obata's face.

The entire 5th Flying Division has existed in name only, and he, the commander of the division, must also take responsibility for this. (To be continued.) )
