On the morning of September 4, the two runways at Morey Airport, which had been blown up by the Japanese yesterday afternoon, had been repaired and could take off and land planes again. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAt 4 o'clock in the morning, before dawn, the airport is very busy. The pilots were eating breakfast and listening to combat briefings. Ground crews are refueling aircraft and loading ammunition.

"Brethren, yesterday's battle cost us a terrible loss to the Japanese himself. Their 5th Flying Division was almost crippled by us. Even if there are a few fighters left, there are definitely not many of them.

However, we must not forget. The strength of the day * himself is far stronger than ours. Their aircraft manufacturing capacity and the number of pilots are also far above ours. So, if they wanted, they could soon replenish the damaged 5th Flying Division. And if we want to ensure air supremacy on the battlefield in Burma, we must take the initiative to launch an attack and blow up their airfield. In this way, they will not be able to take off fighters in a short time, threatening us.

This time, the target of our attack will be the airfield near Chiang Mai of the 5th Flying Division of the Japanese Army Air Corps. All fighters, all take off for battle. I hope that we will be able to destroy all the airfields of the Japanese themselves with two attacks. ”

Xu Huansheng personally gave a combat briefing to all the pilots and assigned tasks. This is the first large-scale offensive since the formation of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force, and it is an attack that is related to air supremacy in the Burma battlefield, and they must be careful to ensure that they can win.

In the event of a failure or setback, this will have a great impact on the future development of the air force.

"Yes, sir." All the pilots answered.

"Alright, let's go back and get ready. An hour later, the group departed! Disbanded now! Xu Huansheng ordered.

The pilots immediately went to prepare for the attack. From Morey to Chiang Mai, there are hundreds of kilometers. At the speed of the B-25 bomber, it took about two hours. If you include the bombing and the time to return, it will take about five hours. So, they need to be prepared.

At 5 o'clock in the morning, there was already a hint of fish belly white on the horizon. The darkness is receding. One fighter plane after another, sliding to the runway.

Twelve B-24 heavy bombers, carrying bombs weighing up to 12,000 pounds, took off first. That is, 24 bombs weighing 500 pounds. Because the weapons and equipment used by the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army are all aided by the Americans. All, the specifications of these bombs, also in pounds, not kilograms.

The 12 B-24 heavy bombers took off, followed by 24 B-25 medium bombers. Each of these B-25 heavy bombers carried bombs weighing up to three thousand pounds, that is, six bombs of five hundred pounds.

The last to take off was the largest number of P-51B fighters. These P-51B fighters, after yesterday's fierce fighting, have 64 left. This time, these P-51B fighters also took off in full. Their mission was not just to escort bombers. At the same time, it also undertook certain bombing missions. Under the wing of the P-51B fighter, it was equally possible to hang two bombs weighing up to five hundred pounds, or hoist ten rockets.

This time, 32 P-51B fighters were hoisted with bombs, and the remaining 32 P-51B fighters were carrying rockets.

P-51B fighters carrying bombs were to be involved in the bombing of Japanese airfields. And the P-51B fighters, carrying rockets, could use rockets to suppress anti-aircraft fire from Japanese airfields.

You don't have to think about it to know that once the air force of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army bombs the Japanese airfield, the Japanese army will definitely fight back desperately. If the anti-aircraft fire of the Japanese army can be suppressed, the losses of the anti-Japanese salvation army air force will be much smaller.

At half past five in the morning, all the fighters had already taken off, and after completing the formation over the airfield, they flew to the east.

Although, it's still early. However, Qin Shou had already gotten up. He stood in the courtyard outside his office, watching a large number of planes fly overhead, and his heart was full of emotion.

"I didn't expect that in just a few months, Lao Tzu has pulled up such a big team. Not only more than 100,000 troops, but also so many aircraft. Enjoy the fury of our vengeance! "Qin Shou hopes that they can defeat the Japanese army in Southeast Asia as soon as possible, and then after defeating Japan, they will be able to land on the American mainland. In this case, it is absolutely impossible for Japan* himself to be able to get rid of the effects of war and rise again so easily like another time and space.

A huge fleet of planes flew towards Chiang Mai, and in order to maintain secrecy, all the planes stayed at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters.

The Japanese troops were near Chiang Mai and did not set up radars. So much so that it was simply impossible for them to detect the incoming anti-Japanese salvation army air force in advance. In other words, the Japanese themselves, having easily mastered the air supremacy of Indochina, did not think at all that anyone would dare to launch an attack on their airfield. And it is precisely because of this reason that they lost this war.

"Attention squadrons, in five minutes we will arrive at the Japanese airfield in Chiang Mai. The fighters took the lead in attacking, suppressing the Japanese anti-aircraft fire and blowing up their airfield runways. The bombers then entered and launched an attack on important targets inside the airfield. "Captain Monit, this time in command of the entire fleet.

"Understood, sir!" All the squadron leaders replied.

At this moment, the Japanese airfield on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. The ground crew of the Japanese army is refueling the plane and loading ammunition. The seven Type 1 fighters that returned yesterday were badly damaged and needed to be repaired before they could be used again.

Fortunately, there are 12 Type 1 fighters that have been repaired, and they can be used for the time being, and then try to restore the strength of the 5th Flying Division after the subsequent replenishment arrives.

Despite the heavy losses, the Japanese 5th Flying Division still planned to take off fighters on time and patrol the nearby airspace.

It's just that soon they will find out that they don't need to take off at all. For their enemies have slain over their heads.

64 P-51B fighters, flying over the airfield from the west.

"Whew!" When the Japanese discovered these incoming aircraft groups, they immediately sounded the air defense alarm. When the mournful air defense sirens were remembered, the Japanese pilots hurriedly rushed to their planes.

The air defense units also quickly rushed to the anti-aircraft gun positions around the airfield, preparing to resist the enemy's attack.

And by this time, the first bomb had already fallen from a P-51B fighter.

"Boom!"

The bomb exploded on a shell at the Japanese airfield, blowing up a large crater. (To be continued.) )
