Director Luo is here again.

He is still very concerned about the airport.

It must be known that this is the first airfield of the Eighth Route Army. It is really effective.

There are not only airfields, but also fighter jets. And pilots.

In addition to Director Luo's attention, many other bigwigs also paid attention.

It was not easy to occupy an airfield and put it into use. It would be a pity if it was nip in the bud by the Japanese invaders. Fortunately, Zhang Chu is here.

When the Japanese planes were blown up one after another, Director Luo quickly arrived with a battalion.

This battalion was unarmed. But there are various tools.

There are hoes, shovels, flat poles, baskets, etc., which can quickly repair the airport.

There are also people who carry water. Prepare to extinguish the fire.

Because the Eighth Route Army did not have an air force before, no one knew how to respond to an attack on the airport. Director Luo can only do it according to his own understanding.

But one thing is for sure. That's to have someone.

Zhang Chu came up.

Stand up and salute.

"Can you deal with it?" Director Luo got straight to the point.

"The losses of the Japanese are definitely greater than ours." Zhang Chu replied without hesitation.

Even the airport may suffer some damage. The Japanese are no better.

If you suffer a loss of 100, then the Japanese of the Japanese are at least 500 or more. One loses the other, and the last one to suffer must be the Japanese invaders.

Fighting a war of attrition, Zhang Chu is not afraid at all.

The more you consume a Japanese Warrior, the more you will gain for yourself. In turn, more weapons and ammunition can be generated.

Turn away. Don't wait for Director Luo to respond.

Because it is necessary to seize the time to launch individual anti-aircraft missiles. The number of Japanese planes in the sky is still very large.

"Whew!"

"Boom ......"

Shot down another Japanese plane.

At this time, the attention of the Japanese planes began to focus on those P-38 Lightning fighters.

Many Japanese pilots were very curious.

What kind of plane is this?

The styling is peculiar. It seems to be different from the average fighter.

Three fuselages?

The tails are still connected to each other?

It's ugly.

It's true.

But this fighter, the firepower is very ferocious. Not only machine guns, but also machine guns. If you are hit, there is almost no chance of survival.

Fortunately, these three-fuselage monsters don't seem to be very flexible?

"Zhou Yu!"

"Behind!"

The sound of Huang Gai was heard on the radio.

But behind Zhou Yu, a Japanese Kawasaki fighter appeared. The other side tried to fire from behind and destroy.

Zhou Yu immediately accelerated. At the same time, it is rapidly rising. Break away at full speed.

"Sneer......"

"Sneer......"

The Japanese pilots opened fire.

The bullet swept past the back of Zhou Yu's buttocks. In fact, the aim is still very accurate.

The Japanese pilots of this period were indeed elite.

It's a pity that Zhou Yu ran too fast.

Don't look at the three-fuselage P-38, which is quite bulky. But the acceleration performance is not weak. Because there are two engines. A lot of horsepower. The top speed can reach more than 750 kilometers per hour.

The attacking Japanese fighters could barely reach a speed of 600 kilometers per hour at most. There is a big gap between the two.

The fighters of the Japanese invaders are all single-engine. Lack of horsepower.

Even the later famous Zero carrier-based aircraft was actually seriously lacking in horsepower. That's why we have to work hard to reduce weight.

Although some performance gains have been made, excessive weight loss has made it very fragile. As soon as it is hit, it will immediately turn into a ball of fire. The pilot didn't even have the opportunity to parachute.

However, it seems that the Japanese have never encouraged pilots to parachute. It is possible that there is not even a parachuting device installed.

The machine is in the people, and the machine is dead.

Resulting in the loss of a large number of elite pilots. In the end, it's all rookies. There will be the appearance of Mariana turkey hunting.

"Day, bite tight!"

"him!"

"Huang Gai, behind you!"

"Cuckoo, above you!"

"him!"

"him!"

Five people were called anxiously over the radio.

Zhang Chu raised his head. The battle was found to be very intense.

The Japanese fighters were actually fighting with the lightning fighters, and no one launched an attack on the airfield.

There are good. There are also bad ones.

The good thing is that the airport will not be affected for the time being.

The disadvantage is that there are so many Japanese fighters, biting five lightning fighters, it is too ferocious.

"Hoo ......"

"Boom ......"

Zhang Chu worked hard to launch individual anti-aircraft missiles.

As long as you find a lone Japanese fighter jet, give it a missile immediately.

The effectiveness of the missiles is higher.

As long as they are locked, the Japanese fighters cannot escape.

However, if the Japanese fighters were fighting with the P-38, they would not have dared to. Individual anti-aircraft missiles do not have the function of identifying friend or foe, in case of hitting the P-38......

"Spotting the Dirt Eight Road Plane!"

"Spotting the Dirt Eight Road Plane!"

"Can't make out the model!"

"Can't make out the model!"

Japanese pilots also called on the radio channel.

It is true that they had never seen a P-38 fighter before. Because the real thing of this fighter has not yet been made.

The testing machine is still on the production line, and there is no final test flight yet.

"Take a picture and bring it back!"

"Take a picture and bring it back!"

Lieutenant General Kikuchi commanded.

Some of the Japanese planes were equipped with cameras.

As a result, the three Japanese fighters quickly took pictures and then quietly withdrew.

Zhang Chu just saw it.

Hey?

Are Japanese planes going to slip away?

It's weird......

The battle has just begun!

However, it is a good thing that the Japanese fighters slipped away.

The smaller the number of remaining Japanese fighters, the more beneficial it would be to Du Dongjian and them.

Unfortunately, there are still a lot of Japanese fighters.

"I was hit!"

'I was hit! ”

Suddenly, it was Zhou Yu's voice again.

A little flustered. I was a little nervous again.

Everyone's hearts suddenly hung in the air.

Director Luo also involuntarily took a few steps forward, wanting to save people through the radio.

Unfortunately, this is not possible.

For the battle in the sky, the ground is completely powerless.

"Crash landing!"

"Crash landing!"

Du Dongjian calmly commanded.

Then there was a brief silence.

"Huh? I seem to be fine? Zhou Yu's voice suddenly came.

"Hey! This aircraft is very sturdy! Zhou Yu became excited, "The devil's machine gun bullets can't penetrate at all." ”

"You're thinking too much." Huang Gai immediately interrupted him.

"What I said is true."

"Most of the time you didn't get hit."

"No, hit ......"

"Ah......h

Suddenly, someone exclaimed. It's the voice of the yellow cover.

At the same time, there was a murmur on the radio.

"Huang Gai!"

"Huang Gai!"

"I'm fine. I'm fine. I was also hit. But there was no fire. And it didn't get out of hand. ”

"Captain, I'm looking at Huang Gai's plane!"

"Go ahead!"

Ma Mingyu replied.

Yi Shanjin flew the plane close to Huang Gai's plane.

"There are indeed traces of machine-gun fire on the outside. But there was no oil leak. There was also no significant breakage. ”

"I'll just say it. This aircraft is very sturdy. Not skinning. It's all stainless steel. Awesome! ”

"Don't be careless......"

Everyone was actually secretly relieved in their hearts.

The P-38 turned out to be bulky and not agile enough in aerial combat. But, really, really durable.

Even if he was hit by a Japanese 7.7mm machine gun bullet, he was unharmed.

At this time, the Japanese army aviation was equipped with planes, which were basically Kawasaki or Mitsubishi, and their weapons were all 7.7 mm machine guns.

There are no machine guns.

There are also no 12.7 mm large-caliber machine guns.

In the face of such a monster as the P-38, although there is a chance to open fire. But it's hard to hit hard. Even if it hits, it can't be destroyed.

The fighters of Zhou Yu and Huang Gai were hit in succession. But none of the major problems.

There was no oil leakage in the tank. There was no fire. There was no explosion.

The cockpit is protected by stainless steel. Machine gun bullets do not penetrate.

Even the strange rear wing is quite sturdy. Bullets can pierce. But it won't break.

"Yaga!"

There were Japanese pilots who were unwilling.

These strange planes in the dirt eight roads are really difficult to deal with. Obviously, it hit, and nothing happened.

On the contrary, if they are hit by the other party, they will immediately whine.

"Sneer......"

"Sneer......"

As he spoke, Ishan found an opportunity.

A barrage of machine-gun bullets immediately blew up a Japanese fighter.

"Sneer......"

"Sneer......"

Immediately after, Du Dongjian also quietly shot down a Japanese fighter jet.

"Whew!"

"Boom ......"

Zhang Chu also found an opportunity.

A missile went up and blasted a Japanese fighter in the air.

The sky at this moment is very lively.

Fighter jets, you come and go.

Zhang Chu couldn't even tell who was who.

It's all tense on the ground.

There was often only noise coming from the radio.

No one spoke.

Because all the pilots were busy fighting.

Thunderbird and Thunder Shock were also unable to provide guidance. Because they don't know what is going on in heaven either.

Director Luo only listened.

Zhang Chu frowned secretly. Five fighters is still too little. The firepower output is not strong enough.

If only there were ten crosses.

If there are ten P-38 fighters......

But you can only think about it.

Suddenly, a fireball appeared in the air. Everyone couldn't help but tighten their hearts.

Will it be its own plane?

Will it be the P-38 Lightning?

So nervous.

So nervous!

Nervous and unable to breathe.

If it's your own plane, it means someone is dying.

The point is, there were only five of them. Knocked out a fight. There are four left. The number is getting smaller and the pressure is increasing, and eventually the battle will be defeated.

Thankfully, it turned out to be not.

It was the Japanese plane that caught fire.

"Poof......

"Snort......"

The wreckage of Japanese planes continued to fall.

At this time, the air battle between the two sides has already alarmed everyone on the ground.

Both the soldiers and the common people couldn't help but run out to watch. All the open spaces were full of people.

There were also people with cameras, who appeared to be journalists. But unidentified.

"Another one!"

"Another one!"

There are constantly airplanes burning in the air.

Other planes dragged long trails of black smoke and staggered to the ground.

Inside and outside the airport......

Inside and outside Quancheng......

All with the wreckage of downed planes.

After many of the wreckage landed, they were immediately watched by nearby soldiers or ordinary people.

Fresh.

Never seen before.

Many people saw downed planes for the first time.

"Devil's!"

"Devil's!"

Someone shouted.

What is missing is that the plaster flag logo on the wreckage of the fuselage was found.

Or maybe they found the body of the Japanese pilot. The same is the sign that was found to have a plaster flag on it, or a sun flag.

It's messed up......

There were too many Japanese planes that were shot down.

The Eighth Route Army also had no experience. It is not possible to contain all the wreckage of the plane.

As a result, part of the wreckage of the plane was taken back by the thrifty and simple people. Although I don't know what the specific use is. But I feel like I won't lose by moving back home.

"This is the first time I saw it!"

"I saw it first!"

There were even snatches.

Poor, if the Japanese air force saw it, it would definitely lament.

I'm a plane!

A group of old farmers are actually scrambling to take it back to enclose the pigsty and the sheepfold?

Don't I want to lose face in the Japanese Empire?

Gradually, the air battle between the two sides began to become clear. The last remaining are the elite.

The Japanese pilots were indeed elite.

Their tactical maneuvers were significantly more agile than those of the P-38. Fighting tactics are very skillful.

However, the P-38 relied on its rough skin and thick flesh, and it was also a good one.

Even resorted to the tactic of luring the snake out of the hole.

As long as you don't kill me, a slap in my hand is enough to kill.

"Boom ......"

Another Japanese fighter was blown up.

The Japanese fighter crashed into the city. It led to a fierce scramble.

"Boom ......"

Soon after, another Japanese fighter was hit in the tail, lost its balance, and waddled in the air.

Eventually, it hit the ground of the airport with a heavy impact. Parts and debris were splashed everywhere.

The workers with brooms, heads, and dustpans immediately went up and cleared the parts and debris into the open space outside the runway.

Shells must remain usual at all times.

Suddenly, a Japanese fighter jet actually rushed down the runway.

Zhang Chu: ???

What's the situation?

Are you landing at the airport?

Come on......

You're a Japanese plane!

This is not your airport! What do you guys do down here?

Surrender?

Abandon the darkness and turn to the light?

I'm sorry, the plot is developing too fast, I can't accept it.

"Sneer......"

"Sneer......"

Anti-aircraft machine guns around fired fiercely.

It's a pity that they didn't hit.

It's weird and weird.

The Japanese fighter still rushed down regardless of it. Then landed successfully.

It's unbearable.

Immediately, a group of soldiers of the Eighth Route Army rushed forward.

You're damn good. You are in heaven, and we have nothing to do with you. You run to the ground now and see how we clean you up!"

"Catching the ...... alive"

Zhang Chu subconsciously shouted.

Japanese pilots are very valuable. The income from catching alive is ten times great!

However......

"Smack!"

"Smack!"

There was a flurry of gunfire.

Zhang Chu saw the Japanese pilot drooping in the cockpit, motionless.

Yes, he was killed.

What kind of guns did these guys shoot at the Japanese pilots?

How nice it would be for several people to rush up and capture him alive!

Pity......

However, there are no ifs.

"Ding......

"Your troops killed a Japanese pilot......"

"You get 5 million in earnings......"

Information came.

Zhang Chu suddenly found out. It seems that the Japanese plane is in good condition?

Odd......

What exactly did the Japanese pilots want to do?

Why did it land?

But there is no time to look at it for the time being. It is also necessary to continue firing crossbow individual anti-aircraft missiles.

"Whew!"

"Boom ......"

Finally caught a Japanese plane that was far away.

Immediately, a missile went up and shot down the Japanese plane. The Japanese plane was originally preparing to circle and then look for an angle to attack the P-38 from behind, but was caught by Zhang Chu.

Unfortunately, such opportunities do not come by very often.

In the current sky, Japanese planes and P-38s are still entangled with each other.

Fortunately, it is not a Zero carrier-based aircraft.

Otherwise, the results will be worse.

The P-38 was not at all intimidated by these older Japanese planes. It's like a tiger breaking into a flock of sheep.

Although there are only five. But Japanese planes were shot down constantly.

"Twenty-Three ......"

"Twenty-Four ......"

"Twenty-five!"

Finally, five complete orthography was written on the blackboard.

This means that twenty-five Japanese planes were shot down. There are seven left. In total, there were thirty-two Japanese planes.

"Yaga ......"

"Return ......"

Finally, Lieutenant General Kikuchi couldn't hold on anymore.

Thirty-two fighters were sorted, twenty-five were shot down. Such a fighter is enough for him to apologize.

However, he was really not convinced, and he couldn't figure it out.

Why is the fighter of the Dirt Eight Road so powerful? Why can't you die?

There's no reason for that!

He needs the other pilots to come back alive. Come back and learn the lessons. Otherwise, the next sortie, the losses may be even worse.

"Homecoming!"

"Homecoming!"

The Japanese planes began to retreat.

The P-38 fighters immediately went to catch up. Aggressive. Be on somebody's trail.

"Sneer......"

"Sneer......"

After a series of shots, another Japanese plane was shot down.

Okay, now twenty-six have been shot down.

Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others still have to catch up. But he was stopped by Zhang Chu.

"Stop chasing!"

"Come back!"

Zhang Chu ordered.

After fighting for so long, it is estimated that the ammunition is almost used.

If you don't have ammo, how can you chase it?

What if we encounter more Japanese planes?

Take it when you see it.

Sure enough, Zhou Yu, Huang Gai and others checked the weapons and ammunition and found that there was not much ammunition left.

Luckily, there was a 20mm cannon and four 12.7mm heavy machine guns. The amount of ammunition in reserve is also quite large. That's what lasts that long.

That's the benefit of a twin-engine fighter. Two engines, very high thrust. More ammo can be carried.

In fact, the main thing is aerial bombs. Shells and bullets weigh little.

"The runway is good!"

"You can land!"

"The runway is good!"

"You can land!"

The Thunderbird gives the command.

He and Lei Zhenzi were responsible for directing the planes to take off and land.

Soon, Du Dongjian took the lead in piloting the P-38 to land. When it landed, it was noticeably bounced a few times. Luckily, it's fine.

Everyone hurriedly rushed up and pulled Du Dongjian out of the cockpit.

Scrutinize. OK. There were no injuries. It's just a little tired. Collapse. Detachment. It may have been too nervous just now.

Others are similar. All of them were pale. Lack of strength in the whole body.

At this time, chocolate is most needed.

Yes!

Schedule it now!

"Poof!"

The package fell and there really was chocolate.

Chocolate, fast noodles, hot steamed buns, Zhang Chu has them. The price is also not expensive.

However, it is rare to airdrop chocolates or anything like that. It's a bit special after all. Ordinary warriors don't need chocolate, a calorie-rich food.

But pilots do. They need to replenish their stamina. So the chocolate is supplemented.

"Well played!"

"Well played!"

At this time, Director Luo appeared.

He was very excited.

The haggard face was visibly rosy.

That's for sure.

It was a fierce air battle just now!

Not an ordinary battle!

It's airplane to plane!

The planes of our Eighth Route Army successfully drove away the planes of the Japanese invaders.

Also shot down most of the enemy planes!

This battle, whether it was for the Eighth Route Army or for the Japanese invaders, had a very far-reaching impact. It could even change the entire battlefield situation.

Of course, there is also the possibility of attracting more retaliation from the Japanese invaders.

The crazy Japanese will never be willing to fail. They're sure to make a comeback.

"Thank you, sir!"

Du Dongjian and others were also very excited.

Actually, this was the first time they took part in a real air battle.

Before the outbreak of a large-scale war between China and Japan, they had already been forcibly decommissioned.

Only Ma Mingyu was involved in the previous air battles.

But Ma refused to bring up the previous fight. Because they are all losers.

Unexpectedly, this time, he easily killed the Japanese plane. I didn't have any losses.

Wrong......

Nor is it completely devoid of losses......

Bullets and shells are very expensive. All the shells and bullets were gone.

"Ding......

"You get a perfect battle victory......"

"You've managed to create a miracle of zero casualties......"

"You get 50,000,000 ......"

"You get a special reward: 5 American-made P-38 Lightning fighters ......"

"You get 5 million ocean ......"

"You get a batch of airport equipment.

Information arrives.

Zhang Chu: ......

Ah, I need time to digest it.

Five P-38 fighters?

Good, good, good, the more the merrier.

Five Million Ocean ......

Airport Equipment ......

Good, good, the more the merrier......

Arrange delivery immediately.

Soon after, a group of trucks appeared at the airport.

There were more than thirty trucks. All are ten-ton trucks. It can be seen that the number of equipment transported above is huge.

"Is this ......," Director Luo asked.

"It's airport equipment." Zhang Chu replied briefly.

In fact, he himself didn't know what equipment was inside. You need to look at the list to know.

Take the list from the tool man's hand. A cursory glance. Oh, and the psychology counts.

There are communication equipment.

There are navigation devices. Includes ancillary equipment such as take-off and landing.

And diesel generators or something.

And then there's the radar!

Yes......

There is actually a radar!

Haha, there really is a radar! Or the radar of later generations!

This one is amazing!

The radar actually came out.

With this radar, it is possible to warn remotely.

Good, good! That's great!

But there was no publicity. This is the secret weapon. Confidentiality is mandatory.

Nothing else.

Wrong. There is something. There are five large bulldozers of XCMG. There are also rollers. And excavators.

Ah, it's all good stuff!

With these things, the construction of the airport, as well as the restoration, will be greatly accelerated.

Those ten-ton trucks must have been used to transport dirt?

Wrong!

There is no need to transport dirt.

Just flat. Tamp.

It would be even more perfect if steel plates could be laid. But for the time being, there are no such conditions.

Signature receiving.

The tool man quietly dispersed.

All the equipment, as well as the trucks, were all left behind.

From now on, all these things belong to him Zhang Chu. He is the chief of staff of the Air Force appointed by Director Luo!

Other than that......

"Airplane!"

"Airplane!"

Suddenly, someone screamed.

But in the clouds, five more P-38 fighters appeared. And ready to land.

"My own people!"

"My own people!"

Zhang Chu hurriedly issued an order.

This is the one who sent the plane. But don't fire!

Soon after, five P-38s landed without incident. The pilots, who were already somewhat tired, immediately surrounded them.

"Chief of Staff, is this for us?"

"Of course!"

"Do you still need a pilot?"

"Yes!"

"Then we can also gather some pilots!"

"Really?"

Zhang Chu was overjoyed.

How? And pilots? Where is it? Find out!

"Same treatment!"

"Come as much as I want!"

Zhang Chu packed the ticket without thinking.

Now there is no shortage of aircraft, there is no shortage of weapons and ammunition, there is a shortage of pilots.

"There's no more ...... on our side," Du Dongjian shook his head.

"Where?" Zhang Chu immediately said, "I'll send someone to pick it up." Or pick it up in person. ”

"Most of them have gone back to their hometowns. Need to go to the countryside to find it. But now the war is in chaos. They didn't dare to come out easily. Du Dongjian wanted to speak and stopped.

"And what can you do?"

"Unless ......"

"Straight to the point!"
