Lu Xingguo and the others didn't fly far before they collided head-on with the little devil's group, which was the 27th flying team of the little devils, they were fast, and they had already opened up a distance of about 20 minutes from the 59th light explosion flying team.

"No. 1, we've caught a big fish!" Seeing the little devils in the sky densely packed with fighters that he couldn't see at a glance, No. 3 pilot Zhang Suhang shouted excitedly.

They have been training for a long time, and they have long been eager to get the opportunity to fight, but the little devils have not given them this opportunity all along.

Seeing so many little devil fighters today, it seems that they see the results that can be painted on the fighters beckoning to them!

"Don't panic, our goal is to bring them under our fleet for concentrated annihilation. Don't scare these chicks away. No. 1 Lu Xingguo said with a smile, "Come, let's go say hello to them and leave." ”

After speaking, Lu Xingguo piloted the Mustang fighter and squeaked towards the group of little devils. However, when the distance was still 5 kilometers away, he began to pull the nose of the plane to seize the high point.

The Nakajima Type 1 fighter of the little devil is a generation more advanced than the Type 97 fighter, and the performance has been greatly improved relatively speaking, but it is still 200 kilometers per hour worse than the Mustang fighter in terms of maximum speed.

Therefore, when the little devil's Nakajima Type 1 fighter followed Lu Xingguo and them to pull up the nose and want to occupy the high point, the speed was much worse, so that Lu Xingguo and they quickly occupied the attack position above.

Then he turned around and dived towards the little devil fighter, and when the nose was aimed at the little devil fighter, he did not hesitate to fire, and the four bullets like a tongue of fire instantly fell on a Nakajima Ichi fighter in the head of the little devil.

Under the rain of dense bullets, one of the little devil's Nakajima type fighters was hit almost instantly, and black smoke came up, and then No. 2, No. 3, and No. 4 also opened fire to attack the opponent at the same time.

The three fighters behind also shook off the machine gun strafing and tracking of the little devil fighter with a speed that was one step faster, and followed the No. 1 plane to slow down and fly towards the airspace where their large forces were gathered.

After Lu Xingguo shook off the cannon firing range of the little devil group, he reduced the speed to about 520 kilometers, which was just a little faster than the little devil's Nakajima Ichijima, so the little devil who had just suffered a loss bit Gao Jianwu's four fighters.

For Kuroda Hisafumi Nakazuo, the loss of 3 fighters in just one contact is simply unacceptable, judging from the mode of operation, the opponent fled with one blow, obviously not the elite fighter pilots of the beautiful country, but the China Air Force that he looked down on at all.

Only they resorted to this tactic of guerrilla warfare, taking advantage of the slightest advantage and wanting to escape.

Kuroda Hisafumi didn't see the paint of the opponent's fighter at all, and it was the same as the fighter planes of the National Air Force that he usually saw, and he only knew that he had to catch up and knock the other side down now, so that he could get out of this evil breath in his heart.

Although the air force of the expeditionary force group also participated in many battles, they generally carried out air-ground coordination. Even in Southeast Asia, there are very few opportunities for face-to-face combat with the air forces of the little devils.

So on the side of the little devils, the expeditionary force cluster is certainly very powerful, but the air force really doesn't have much fame, and for Kuroda Hisafumi, he has no impression at all.

Not to mention the huge disparity in numbers now, Kuroda Hisafumi Zhongzuo will pile up the 4 fighters lured by Lu Xingguo and them in the air even if they use the number.

The two sides chased and fled, and soon led the air battlefield to the place where Lu Xingguo and they were ambushed.

On the ground position, seeing Lu Xingguo's fighters going and returning, followed by a large group of little devil fighters, the soldiers were so nervous that their hearts rose to their throats for a while.

"Come on, come on! Don't let the little devil plane catch up. One by one, the fighters clenched their fists and roared.

They didn't have much idea of the performance of fighter jets, but they only saw that Lu Xingguo and they only had 4 fighters, and there were thirty or forty fighters chasing them behind them.

According to their simple point of view, this time Lu Xingguo and they are a little in a catastrophe.

"The little devil of the turtle son, if you have the ability, you can fight alone, do you want to be ashamed of a group of 4 others?" Someone shouted angrily into the air.

"Shameless, shameless!" A group of soldiers below roared loudly, not afraid of the little devil's group at all.

In the air, Lu Xingguo didn't expect that his own people had already made thousands of officers and soldiers on the positions below worry about their hearts!

I saw that he turned on the all-channel communication, and he didn't say anything else, just shouted into the walkie-talkie: "The little devil is here, fuck it!" ”

After speaking, one fighter jet after another began to dive down from behind the clouds in the sky, watching the group of little devils attracted by Lu Xingguo and them excitedly looking for their opponents, and once they locked on, they opened fire directly.

"Our fighters, and our fighters in the sky!" The battalion commander was surprised and inexplicable as he watched one after another rush out of the clouds in the sky, and the Mustang fighters occupying the attack position shouted directly into the sky.

The little devils who caught up didn't have much defense in the face of this round of sneak attacks, they didn't expect that there were so many Mustang fighters in ambush over this airspace!

One by one, the little devils flew the Nakajima Ichi fighter plane and flipped around like a frightened bird, but by this time it was too late!

The Mustang fighters, like tigers entering a flock of sheep, quickly exploded a lot of fighters of the little devils in the air, and more than a dozen clouds of black smoke appeared in the sky almost instantly.

Fighter jets are falling from the sky.

"Well done, kill these turtle sons!" The officers and men on the battlefield saw the little devil fighters falling from the sky, and jumped up one by one with excitement.

They didn't expect that here, their own fighters would be ambushed so much, and that little devil would fall into trouble. For the first time, many people have seen their own air forces occupy the top.

Some of them have shed tears of excitement, after all, they have been aggrieved for too long in the aerial bombardment and artillery bombardment of the little devils.

Kuroda Hisafumi didn't expect that the China Air Force would dispatch so many Mustang fighters this time, and in his impression, in addition to the Beautiful Country Air Force, it would be difficult for the China Air Force to gather so many Mustang fighters.

This sudden air force must be clarified, otherwise the locust army will suffer a big loss, so Kuroda Hisafumi chose to flee without hesitation!

But Lu Xingguo, how could they give them this opportunity, after killing a third of the little devil's fighters in the first round, basically every fighter locked on a little devil's fighter to pursue.

With the Mustang fighters outpacing Nakajima's speed of almost 200 kilometers per hour, there is no imp fighter who can escape unless they can quickly pull up and enter the clouds to dodge!

But Lu Xingguo and they had already taken this situation into account, and there were still 12 little devil fighters left in the high air, and as soon as they saw someone trying to pull up the nose and come up, the 12 fighters left behind were immediately chased over, and many little devil fighters were hit by the waist while still climbing!

After more than half an hour of fierce aerial battles, Lu Xingguo and the others completely annihilated Kuroda Hisafumi's 27th flying team at the cost of 5 minor injuries and 1 shot down!

Due to the swiftness of the action, the 59th Light Explosive Flying Team of the little devils who rushed to see the end of an aerial massacre, although they turned around and fled when they saw that the situation was wrong, but it was too late!

With the flight speed of their fighters, it is not as fast as Nakajima's one, so even if they let them run for 10 minutes, it is useless, and the Mustang fighters who ended the battle bit them excitedly one after another, and the sky formed a very peculiar landscape, and the little devils who turned around and fled lightly exploded like a swarm of bees desperately fleeing.

Behind them, one Mustang fighter after another, pulling away, kept approaching, like a needle stuck directly into the swarm.

Compared with the Nakajima Type 1 fighter, the Kawasaki Type 99 double-engine light explosion is far inferior in speed and climb rate, plus there is no ability to fight back, and the face of the Mustang fighter is a one-sided slaughter, so that Lu Xingguo Most of them have left 2 new stars per capita.

The battle of the expeditionary force group air force greatly changed the situation of the battlefield on the front line of Xiaoxiang, and the two main flying teams of the air force of the third flight regiment of the little devil were defeated in an air battle, and before they found an effective way to deal with the Mustang fighters, the remnants of the air force of the little devil did not dare to go out again for a while, and without the support and bombing of the air force, the offensive of the little devil suddenly attenuated a lot.

And Lu Xingguo and their morale is now bursting, with Howard and their ammunition support, Lu Xingguo and they piloted Mustang fighters and began to carry bombs to bomb the little devil attack troops.

In particular, the artillery wing of the little devil tasted the pain of being bombed this time, and the mountain artillery wing could also dodge for a while with its dexterous transfer speed.

The heavy artillery wing, which needed to rely on its position to attack, was blown up by Lu Xingguo and them, and the strength of the front-line support artillery suddenly decreased a lot.

Gradually, the air force of the expeditionary force cluster also began to circulate in the mouths of the defenders and the attacking side, but this time, the expeditionary force cluster began to win favor among the officers and soldiers on the front line of the national army.

Most of these officers and soldiers now on the front line are miscellaneous troops, and they often play the role of cannon fodder in this general battle, and now Gao Jianwu has successfully reversed all this.

The two fangs of the air force and heavy artillery of the little devils were pulled out at once, and this greatly enhanced the self-defense capability of these officers and men on the front line.

They will not be powerless in the face of little devils, heavy artillery and air force bombardment, as they did before. Now that Gao Jianwu has ruined the little devil and lowered the heavy firepower of the little devil to the point of approaching the friendly army, naturally the officers and men on the front line feel a lot less pressure.

In the face of the little devil 75-mm mountain guns and 92 infantry guns, the anti-artillery holes dug in the trenches came in handy. The lethal power of the little devil's artillery attack has suddenly decreased a lot.

Although it is inevitable that there will be damage to fighters in the process of carrying out combat missions, because the pilots parachuted in time, the loss of pilots has not been seen so far.

With the help of the tempering of the third flight regiment of the little devil, almost everyone in the air force cluster now has the record of two fighters in hand, even if no other results have been received in the battle of Tanzhou, Gao Jianwu is already satisfied with the harvest of the air force cluster.

Although the Nakajima-1 fighter has fallen behind in the small devil fighters, it is a large number, and most of the future air force clusters will face such opponents. Now that he is familiar with the practice in advance, this is a rare opportunity for Gao Jianwu.

Now there are even more than a dozen ace pilots with the results of 5 fighters, although their records still have some water, after all, in terms of fighters, the P51 Mustang fighters they fly are much higher than the performance of the other party, and basically have the advantage of generation difference.

But this is where Gao Jianwu's confidence lies, and now the new Mustang fighter being assembled and produced by the Jinyang Arsenal has higher performance.

4 20mm Hispano cannons + 2 12.7mm heavy machine guns were used as the main battle weapons, with 200 rounds of ammunition for each machine gun and 400 rounds for each heavy machine gun, with a total of 1600 rounds of ammunition, although it is not as large as the 1880 rounds of heavy machine gun bullets of the beautiful country prototype, but the firepower is much stronger than the prototype of 6 12.7mm heavy machine guns.

Not to mention that the engine is also a new version after strengthening, using the top machine tools and special alloys he got from the explosion, the quality is more sophisticated, the horsepower has increased by more than 20%, and both the climb rate and the maximum flight speed have been greatly improved.

In addition, the new aviation aluminum alloy installed by Gao Jianwu has approached the level of jet fighter application in later generations, reducing the weight of the whole fighter, but enhancing the degree of robustness.

For important parts, it is now possible to strengthen them with new alloys, in particular, fuel tanks and nacelles, which can now withstand the blow of 12.7-mm heavy machine gun bullets at more than 300 meters.

In this way, in terms of defense capabilities, it far exceeds the level of the original P51-D.

After reducing the empty weight and increasing the horsepower, Gao Jianwu increased the number of hardpoints to 4, the original 2 heavy hardpoints can carry 500-pound aerial bombs, and the new 2 hardpoints can also hang two 120-pound aerial bombs of beautiful countries.

Or directly mount 4 250-pound aerial bombs.

If Lu Xingguo and the others replaced the new P51 Mustang fighter, their combat effectiveness would have further soared.

Back in front of him, after the little devil Yokoyama suffered a big loss, he finally became vigilant, and he looked for someone to collect the intelligence of the expeditionary force cluster, and he was shocked to find that there was a huge mine hidden next to him!

The actions of the expeditionary force's air force cluster alone have greatly reduced the sharpness of the 11th Army's three-way offensive, and of course it will not work if it continues like this.

Isamu Yokoyama sent a requisition order to the base camp to mobilize a Zero fighter squadron to deal with the Mustang fighters of the expeditionary force cluster, but now that the Navy's combined fleet is engaged in a decisive battle with the beautiful country in the Pacific, the need for Zero fighters is far more urgent than that of Yokoyama.

So the base camp only sent 22 flying teams, which are elite flying teams equipped with new models of "Hurricane" fighters, equipped with 2 12.7mm machine guns of the G-103 type and 2 20mm cannons of the G-5 type, and the maximum flight speed has reached 680 km / h, which is infinitely close to the speed of the P51 Mustang fighter.

Originally, this unit was a secret weapon in the hands of Yokoyama Yong, but with Gao Jianwu in his hands, these so-called secret weapons do not exist. The system revealed the news of their attack at the first time.

"Colonel Howard, there is intelligence that a batch of new fighters are about to arrive in our airspace, are you interested in competing with this group of little devil fighters?" After Gao Jianwu received the information, he found Colonel Howard.

After taking stock of the little devil pilots in his hands, I'm afraid there are only a dozen ace pilots, when the little devils bring the performance of the fighter closer, Gao Jianwu is reluctant to let the ordinary pilots out and become a stepping stone for people to upgrade, so Gao Jianwu came to Colonel Howard.

"What kind of new fighter?" Colonel Howard was intrigued.

"According to intelligence, it was the Little Devil Hurricane fighter, and this time it was the Little Devil 22 flying team that came to compete for air superiority. The performance of this fighter is probably no worse than that of the Zero fighter, and it already poses a serious threat to the Mustang fighter. Gao Jianwu said.

"Tempest? It can be about the same performance as the Zero fighter, so..."Howard said to himself with some emotion, he really hadn't heard of this fighter, after all, it was a new thing that the little devil had just made.

But if the performance is comparable to that of the Zero, then it is an opponent worth studying.

Howard felt compelled to go face to face with the fighter and get a feel for it on the spot, so that he could gather first-hand information and report it to his other comrades.

However, the superiors have not given the order to start the war for a long time, and if they have been doing this and waiting for the order from the top, no one knows when they will be able to fight.

As if he had seen through Howard's troubles and hesitation, "Colonel Howard, in terms of fighters, you can not move the Allied fighters, as long as you drive the fighters of our Expeditionary Force Air Force, then there is no problem, do you think you can't use Mustang fighters to fight Zero fighters?" It's impossible.

According to the information we have received, the Hurricane fighter can fly at a maximum speed of more than 680 km/h, and its main armament is two 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and two 20 mm machine guns.

Each heavy machine gun has 350 rounds of ammunition and 150 rounds of machine guns. It should be noted that according to the internal flight test evaluation of the Little Devil Army Airlines, at medium and low altitudes, the Hurricane's climb performance and maneuvering flexibility may even be better than that of the P-51 Mustang under the operation of a veteran! ”

When Colonel Howard heard Gao Jianwu's introduction, he couldn't help but feel even more in his heart, if this kind of fighter appeared on the battlefield on a large scale and his side knew nothing about them, he might suffer a big loss. After all, the main combat opponent of the Little Devil Air Force is not here, but the sea and air battles that are unfolding in the Pacific Ocean.

Colonel Howard remembered the problem he had when he faced the little devil Zero fighter, and because he was not familiar with the Zero fighter at all, he was almost killed by the little devil's Zero fighter.

"Commander-in-Chief Gao, how many little devil blast fighters will come this time?" Colonel Howard asked.

"According to my intelligence sources, this time the little devil came to an experimental flying team. There were only 36 Tempest. Gao Jianwu replied.

His intelligence system is infallible, so Gao Jianwu is very confident. Although Colonel Howard has been moved, but he is also a little forced, if the little devil has too many fighters, he does not dare to rush up, in the face of the Zero fighter 1:1, he is confident to win, but 1:2, Colonel Howard feels that he is not so awesome.

"Then there will be no problem, Commander Gao, we are going to send 30 pilots to meet them. As long as there are 10 pilots on the land side. Colonel Howard said.

After the drill and his understanding of Lu Xingguo's air battle this time, there are at least 10 or more people in the air force of the expeditionary force who can be similar in technology to them. Facing an opponent with similar performance to his Mustang fighter, Howard also knew that he couldn't let the rookie go up.

"David, I'm going to send 16 of them here, and you can leave me eight Tempest fighters for us to practice." Lu Xingguo said to Colonel Howard with a smile that he and Howard have been together for a while, and they have had a few drinks together, and the relationship is already very harmonious.

Lu Xingguo heard that the little devil's new fighter can have similar performance to the Mustang fighter, and he still attaches great importance to it, for the first battle, if he arranges 2 to 1, he can give the brothers more chances of survival.

After all, when training one-on-one with Howard and them, there were not many opportunities for pilots on their side to grab offensive positions. Howard: Some of them have been flying for five or six years, and in terms of combat awareness and flight handling experience, they are still far superior to the pilots on their side.

"Lu, then it's no problem, let's entertain this group of little devils. Be sure to let him know our passion and turn them all into turkeys. Howard laughed loudly.

The use of the fighters of the Expeditionary Force Air Force, although nominally it can avoid the problem of going into battle privately. In fact, if it is really investigated, Colonel Howard will still be responsible, but Colonel Howard also knows that General Steven, the headquarters of the Allied Forces on Gao Jianwu's side, has a deep relationship with Major General Smith.

There is no need for him to say this, Gao Jianwu can naturally deal with him. Including being able to figure out the performance data of a new fighter jet of the little devil. So in this wave of battles, he only makes money and does not lose.

As for losing? Howard really didn't think about it, since he already knew the basic performance data of the little devil fighter in advance, how could Howard lose?

As an ace pilot with a record of 11 aircraft, he personally killed more than 3 Zero fighters, and went back to Lu Xingguo and his gang of boys to carefully teach the experience of fighting Zero fighters, so that they have a basic combat tactics for this kind of fighter like a little devil, plus their own side still has a numerical advantage, it is difficult to lose this battle!
