Northern Thailand, Chiang Mai, the headquarters of the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army. Lieutenant General Hideyoshi Obata and chief of staff of the www.biquge.info Division, Kuwatsuka Castle, were dumbfounded when they received the results of the 64th Flying Squadron.

"Miyabe-kun, what did you say? All the twenty-four planes we sent this time were shot down? How is this possible? Lieutenant General Hidera Obata's face suddenly became gloomy, as if he could drip water. With the loss of so many fighters at one time, even if the 5th Flight Division has more than 200 aircraft, it is unbearable! What's more, the last time they were ambushed in Myitkyina and lost dozens of aircraft, Lieutenant General Hidera Obata quickly replenished it by relying on his relationship with Lieutenant General Sugawara Michidai, commander of the 3rd Air Army. Now, with so much to lose all at once, he doesn't know how to speak.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the people of China suddenly have an air force, and it is a very good aircraft, even more advanced than the P-40 fighters piloted by the Americans that we encountered on the battlefield of China. That's why the fleet we sent was wiped out. Hideo Miyabe reported with his head down. The Anti-Japanese Salvation Army had an air force, which was definitely not what they expected. Otherwise, they wouldn't have sent just six Type 1 fighters to escort those attack and crit fighters this time.

"The people of China have an air force? Or advanced aircraft? How is that possible? Lieutenant General Hidera Obata also felt that something was unlikely.

The Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is already difficult enough to deal with, and if it has a powerful air force, it will undoubtedly be even more difficult to deal with.

"How many planes did the Shina people sortie?" Kuwatsuka Castle asked.

"Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the people of China have dispatched a total of 24 fighters."

"24 fighters? Or a more advanced fighter than the P-40, it should be the P-51 fighter. No wonder we have so much to lose. Kuwatsuka Castle nodded.

"Your Excellency, Division Commander, the people of China have an air force, which is completely unexpected by us. We lost so much when we were unprepared. However, the current Shina people are undoubtedly a greater threat to us. The skies of Southeast Asia will no longer be completely under our control. Kuwatsuka Castle Osa was a little worried.

"No, the skies of Southeast Asia have always been under the control of the Imperial Army Air Force, and they must not be affected by the fact that there are twenty-four more P-51 fighters in China. Immediately dispatch a massive fleet of aircraft, destroy the airfields of the China, shoot down their fighters, and defeat them once and for all! Lieutenant General Hidera Obata ordered viciously.

He absolutely could not accept that the air supremacy that had already been grasped by the Japanese army air force was being challenged.

"Your Excellency the division commander, how many fighters are we going to dispatch?" Kuwatsuka Castle Osa, feeling the determination of Lieutenant General Hidera Obata.

"The 64th Flying Squadron and the 81st Flying Squadron are all the main forces. In addition, a large number of attack planes and crit planes must be dispatched to deal a fatal blow to the people of China. "Lieutenant General Hidera Obata is clearly planning to take a desperate gamble. In doing so, he completely wanted to put the main force of the 5th Flying Division into it, destroy the anti-Japanese National Salvation Army air force in one fell swoop, and ensure the control of the Japanese army air force over air supremacy.

"Hi, Your Excellency, Division Commander." Kuwatsuka Castle Osa and Miyabe Hideo Shaozo nodded again and again.

At one o'clock in the afternoon of 3 September, at the Japanese airfield around Chiang Mai, the main fighters of the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army had completed their preparations for takeoff. Following the order of Lieutenant General Hidera Obata, 72 Type 96 land attack planes, 48 Type 99 light critique planes, and 66 Type 1 fighters took off one after another, completed the formation command in the sky, and flew towards the west in a mighty manner.

A total of 186 fighters, this is already all the fighters that the 5th Division of the Japanese Army can take off, except for those overhauled aircraft.

Looking at the mighty fleet of aircraft, Lieutenant General Hidera Obata was very satisfied. He firmly believed that under the condition that they dispatched such a large number of fighters, the Air Force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army would absolutely not be able to hold on.

When the air force of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army is destroyed, the sky of the entire Burma and even Southeast Asia will still belong to the Japanese army air force.

When the Japanese army's large-scale aircraft group was attacking, Xu Huansheng of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army Air Force was asking Qin Shou for instructions on whether to launch an active attack on the Japanese army and solve the threat of Japanese planes against the Japanese National Salvation Army in one fell swoop.

"Commander, I have received information from the Americans that the Japanese army is mainly using the airspace of Burma for operations mainly with its 5th Flying Division, and the airfield of this flying division is mainly in Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. At present, we have 24 B-25 bombers and 12 B-24 bombers, and if we attack the Japanese airfield in a group, we can completely blow up the Japanese airfield. As long as they make two or three sorties, they can solve the Japanese airfield in one fell swoop. At that time, the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army will no longer be able to pose a threat to us. Xu Huansheng looked a little excited.

Blindly defending, it is naturally better to take the initiative to attack. If you can take the initiative to attack and destroy the airfield of the Japanese army, you will undoubtedly be able to solve the problem once and for all.

"That's a good idea. Be cautious, though. It is not easy for our air force to accumulate these belongings. The Americans will not always provide us with so much support. "Qin Shou is still very interested in taking the initiative to attack the Japanese airfield. However, he wants to be able to preserve his strength as much as possible.

"Yes, Captain." Xu Huansheng nodded. He knew what Qin Shou meant. However, he believes that as long as the plan is good, it is completely possible to succeed.

Just then, a staff officer ran in.

"General, Chief Xu, it is reported from the airport that the radar has found a large number of Japanese aircraft, almost two hundred."

"What? Two hundred Japanese planes? Are they crazy? Xu Huansheng jumped up all of a sudden.

"We only killed 24 of their planes in the morning, are they starting to retaliate now?" Qin Shou's face was also not good-looking. As far as the newly formed Air Force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army was concerned, the Japanese army's large-scale offensive undoubtedly brought them great pressure. If you don't pay attention, you may be wiped out.

"Order our six fighter squadrons, all take off, and prepare for battle. The air defense forces at the airfield immediately went on maximum alert. Xu Huansheng immediately ordered.

"Order the air defense brigades, as well as the air defense units of the various departments, to also prepare for battle!" Qin Shou also gave an order. Now that the Japanese army has come, then they have no choice but to attack.
