August 14, Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport.

As soon as the sky cleared, the pilots under the jurisdiction of the entire air force went to the war room to wait for orders, except for the personnel who were on alert in the air, and the same was true for senior officers such as Gao Zhihang, the group leader.

The entire war room was full, the chiefs were sitting in the small conference hall, and the others were gathered in the hall outside, and the expressions on everyone's faces were less than one, some excited, some angry, some calm, and some confused.

Huang Guoxing was calm, sitting in his place and smoking slowly, reviewing all the arrangements in his mind.

After the little fish at home finished instructing, Ah Sheng was also sent back to his hometown to visit relatives, and went to Nanjing to make a front stop first, in case he took Xiao Yuer to the "rear" in the future, and there was no place to stay.

He didn't know now that the capital Nanjing would also fall with it.

Once you've made sure there's nothing missing, don't think about it anymore.

He is not an indecisive person, otherwise he would not be able to pursue Xiao Yu'er at first sight. In the current situation, he also has some confidence in his flying skills, since he decided to stay and try it first, then what should he do, anyway, he has no worries now.

As for any unforeseen problems on the battlefield, he, who had never been on the battlefield, thought that his luck should not be so bad.

Since the air force has not yet received an official order to attack, everyone can only wait.

The atmosphere in the entire war room was still very warm, and the pilots were pinching their cigarettes in twos and threes, analyzing the front-line battle reports while talking indignantly.

"I don't know if these guys in the army can withstand it, I heard that troops are being transferred to Shanghai from all over the country."

"Yes, the Hunan Army, the Guangdong Army, the Gui Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Northeast Army are in many places, and the farthest Guizhou Army is here."

"I estimate that at most tomorrow, our order should come down, either take the initiative to attack, or help the army hold its position."

"Well, though, I still want to take the initiative"

"It is sad that my dignified Chinese nation has been devastated and ravaged by the Japanese slaves, and I often feel sad and weep for it. Now, with this opportunity, I will let the Japanese slaves have no return! ”

"Look, everyone, I will definitely give the little devils a little color to see, so that they can know that my Chinese nation is not so easy to bully."

"Yes, I'll take one plane, I'll take a pair of two, and I'll become the first ace pilot."

"Yo, you, I think it's still almost, if you want to win the first trump card, you have to at least compare Guoxing."

"Hahaha"

"You, if you don't expose people, I'll compare with you to see which of us shoots down the most."

"Fart, do you want to make a face, I'm from the bombing brigade, do you compare with me? Why don't you compare with me to see who sinks an RB warship first. ”

"You, what are you talking about from the bombing brigade!"

"Oh oh oh~~~~"

The pilots were jubilant, and the group of young people didn't seem to know what fear was at all at this moment.

Gao Zhihang and other captains sitting in the small conference room didn't care when they saw such a scene, they were also so happy, and it was still very good to let the pilots under him soothe and soothe their emotions before going to the battlefield.

At this time, Hangzhou Jianqiao Airport is strategically located and can take into account both Shanghai and Nanjing, so it brings together the most elite strength of the current Chinese Air Force.

Two of the four bomber groups of the entire Air Force (the first, second, eighth, and ninth, of which the eighth group is a heavy bomber group, and the ninth is an attack aircraft group), the first and second bomber groups, are stationed.

The 4th Fighter Group of the three fighter groups (3rd, 4th, 5th).

The models of the two bomber groups are relatively mixed, and the only one that can be called the main force is the Northrop 2E single-engine two-seat bomber produced by the Hangzhou Aircraft Factory and the Northrop Company of the United States since 1935.

This is a light bomber with good speed, but the maximum bomb load is only 450 kg, and sometimes in order to maintain the range, the bomb load must be reduced accordingly when it is filled with fuel, so its bombing capacity is not as much as it appears on paper, but in China at the moment, it is already the most capable model.

As for bombers with a larger bomb load, a longer range, and a faster flight, it is not for nothing, but they are all purely imported, the number remains in single digits, there is no combat scale at all, and the practical significance is not great.

Shen Chongzhi and Yan Haiwen's landline is this Type 2E Northrop light bomber. When the two graduated from aviation school, they were assigned to the bomber group due to their low flying performance.

Their station is not in Hangzhou, it is Jianqiao Airport, which they just transferred to yesterday.

And Huang Guoxing's fighter brigade is a Hawker III type of Yishui.

When the old classmates met, of course, they were extremely excited, and Yan Haiwen directly boasted about Haikou in front of Huang Guoxing.

"Brother Guoxing, I have been looking forward to this war for a long time, and I vow to use my bomb to make the enemy pay a bloody price to comfort my hometown fathers."

Shen Chongzhi was younger than the two, but he was also excited at the moment.

"All-out War of Resistance, the high-level leaders of country D have finally made a correct decision, it should have been like this a long time ago, the little devils are too bullying, I will definitely blow up and sink their combined fleet this time, so that they can no longer show off their might."

Pull it down, just your 400 kilograms of bomb load, embarrassed to death, you can't bring a powerful 500 kilogram bomb, you can only bring 250 kilograms, and you can't dive, talk more about blowing up the transport ship, if you want to blow up and sink the warship, it depends on God's mood.

Huang Guoxing was like a mirror in his heart, but it was not good to discourage the enthusiasm of the two friends at this time, so he could only promise with a smile:

"Okay, I'll escort you then, and you just have to blow it up."

"A word is a certainty hahaha."

Just as the three of them were greeting, the officer on duty walked into the war room.

"Huang Guoxing, prepare to board the plane and be on alert duty."

"Yes."

"I'll go first, and we'll talk later."

Saying goodbye to his two friends, Huang Guoxing came to the airport and happened to meet Lao Sha, the service officer, who showed that he had just prepared a plane for Huang Guoxing.

"Chief Sha, how's my plane?"

Huang Guoxing put on his goggles, and then asked Lao Sha casually while checking the mechanical status of various parts of the plane.

"Brother Huang, you can't believe me, the oil and ammunition are all full, and the engine is very stable."

"Haha, thank you, Chief Sha."

Huang Guoxing boarded the plane, the ground crew removed the ladder, removed the block in front of the wheel, and another person immediately stood in front of the propeller.

A leather-gloved hand stretched out of the cockpit and cocked his thumb, and the ground crew in the nose of the front received instructions, grabbed the propeller with both hands, riveted his strength, threw it down vigorously, and then quickly evacuated.

"Tutu, tutu.

The engine exhaust pipe under the nose first emitted a choking puff of black smoke, then slowly faded.

The take-off commander in the distance waved the green flag, Huang Guoxing pushed the throttle, the engine speed was suddenly lifted, the huge fuselage began to move forward, the speed gradually accelerated, it didn't take long for the wheels of the plane to leave the runway, the whole plane began to become lighter, and flew smoothly into the sky, and the two comrades-in-arms of the same shift also took off in turn under the leadership of Huang Guoxing.

circled over the airport, joined up with his comrades, and began to form a three-plane formation in front of the front and two behind, like an inverted V-shape.

The aviation tactics of this period were still relatively low-level, and the mainstream aviation tactics in Europe and the United States were three-plane formations, or six-plane large ring formations, and the two-plane formation tactics of long aircraft wingmen and the larger-scale two-group four-plane formation tactics were only fully used by the Luftwaffe.

The Chinese Air Force is from the United States, so it still implements a three-plane formation.

In fact, this kind of formation tactics is also related to the overall development of the aircraft, the early aircraft models are biplanes, the speed is not fast, and there is no radio station, all the command can only be carried out through fuselage movements and gestures, so only the commander in front of the corresponding flight actions and gestures, the rear aircraft can understand the commander's intentions, and follow along.

Huang Guoxing is the commander of this group of three-plane formations, he took two people to hover in the air, greeted the previous group of comrades on duty, waited for them to lower the altitude, after landing at the airport, he swung the joystick, so that the wings shook slightly, and then stretched out his arm out of the cockpit and pointed upwards to draw a circle, signaling the comrades behind him to prepare to follow him to raise the altitude and go to hover in the sky to be on guard.

Just when the three of them were slowly pulling up, they faintly heard a buzzing alarm from the airport below, Huang Guoxing poked his head out and looked down, and Jianqiao Airport was obviously in chaos.

The air defense units are urgently dispatching, the alert antiaircraft guns are shaking their muzzles and pointing into the distance, a large number of ground crews are rushing out, pushing the planes full of fuel bombs to the runway, and the pilots are being sent to the planes one by one in the trucks like scattering seeds.

Huang Guoxing particularly noticed that all the fighters were dispatched this time, and he understood it after thinking about it a little.

It is certainly not an air supremacy task on the front line, otherwise it cannot be so urgent, and if you think about the actions of the air defense forces, it must be the enemy who came to bomb the airfield.

He is now in the air, he can't receive any news, everything can only be analyzed by himself.

Huang Guoxing controlled the plane, maintained an altitude, continued to observe, and found that the guns of the air defense forces were all pointing in the direction of 5 o'clock in the south.

Then the enemy's eight achievements came from this direction.

He gesticulated and ordered the remaining two planes to follow him to climb to altitude and search for a guard to the south.

Pushing down the throttle valve, the engine hummed loudly, and the three fighters began to climb at great speed, and after a while, they reached an altitude of 5,000 meters, which was close to the upper limit.

At this moment, the clouds in the air are thicker, the visibility is not very good, his own task is to guard the airport, even if he has a judgment in his heart about the direction of the enemy, he does not dare to leave the range of the airport too far, can only take advantage of the high altitude, with two comrades in this direction of targeted hovering search.

At the same time, I glanced at the time, three minutes had passed since the alarm was sounded at the airport just now, and the teammates dispatched the plane, urgently lifted into the air, formed formation, and then climbed to a relative height, which took at least 10 minutes.

This means that once the enemy plane appears now, he must meet it and buy time for his comrades to avoid the bombing of the airfield within 7 minutes.

At this time, China did not have radar, and the movement of the enemy's air force relied on setting up observation posts in advance, and Huang Guoxing knew that Jianqiao Airport also had observation posts outside the airport, but he did not know how far away the observation posts were from the warning training.

Manual observation inevitably makes mistakes.

If you count the nearest 10 kilometers, the extreme warning circle, it means that the enemy has only 5 minutes of reaction time left by the airfield.

The urgency of time is one thing, and the bigger crisis comes from the fact that he is always in the sky, and he has no idea the scale of the enemy's bombing, how many of them will be, and whether there will be fighter jets accompanying the escort.

They now have only three planes, and in these 7 minutes, all the circumstances, can only rely on the three of them.

Huang Guoxing pursed his lips, and he felt that his palms were a little sweaty.

Frankly speaking, at an altitude of 5000 meters, the air flow is cold, and it is not a closed cockpit, the pilot is exposed to the air, unless after a high-intensity battle, it is difficult for the pilot to sweat, a pair of thin leather gloves, can not completely resist the cold, but at least ensure that the hands can remain flexible to control the aircraft.

The truth is that he is a little nervous, this has nothing to do with courage, human beings will have this kind of emotion for all unknowns, not to mention, the RB Air Force is several times stronger than them, the number of aircraft in the Chinese battlefield alone, there are as many as 1,000, according to his understanding, the bombing of the main airfield of the Chinese Air Force will inevitably require a huge number of aircraft.

This also means that the situation he faces next must be outnumbered.

Count the ball, and die is dead. No, I can't die, I still have a little fish, I'm dead, what if she's alone. However, this is the battlefield

Huang Guoxing's heart was in turmoil, and he subconsciously looked sideways at the two comrades-in-arms behind him.

The same lips were tightly closed, and a nervous face, but the eyes were full of determination.

Time passed minute by minute, and before Huang Guoxing could figure it out, several huge black dots suddenly appeared in the clouds below.

“1，2，37，8，9！”

9 twin-engine medium bombers, from a distance, should be the 96 land attack of the RB people, probably should have flown from the bend.

What about fighter jets? Where are the fighters escorted by the enemy hiding?

According to the tactical regulations, he should give priority to the escort fighters before intercepting the bombers.

Huang Guoxing nervously looked at the two comrades-in-arms behind him, and he wanted to ask his comrades-in-arms if they had spotted the enemy's escort fighters.

The answer was no, and the two comrades-in-arms also shook their heads anxiously.

None of them could find it, but at this moment, time did not allow him to search any more, and his current position was not far from the airfield, and the bombers of the RB people had begun to reduce their altitude, which was obviously about to start bombing.

Glancing at the time again.

It's only been three minutes.

The planes of the group had just taken off, were in formation at a low altitude, and then they had to climb again, at the rate of climb of the Hawker III., it would take at least 4 minutes, and there was enough time for the enemy to drop the bombs.

Can't wait any longer.

"Fuck, it's on!"

Huang Guoxing subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, manipulated the plane to shake its wings, then stretched out his arm, pressed down, and then pushed the control stick and began to dive down.

"Woo-hum~hum~"

The sound of the propeller churning the airflow was intertwined with the roar of the engine, covering all the sounds around him, Huang Guoxing only felt a ringing in his ears, and the blood in his body began to surge rapidly. The white silk scarf around the neck was stretched in a straight line, and the figure of the enemy bomber grew larger and larger in the scope.

Camera cut, RB group leading the bomber.

The co-pilot observer is making an urgent report.

"Sir, the planes at the enemy airfield are taking off urgently, and it is expected to engage our group of planes in three minutes."

"Yo Xi, keep the formation formation, speed up, open the magazine, and all the self-defense weapons are ready to fire."

"Hey!"

The machine gunners on the bombers of the R Army began to pull the bolts one after another, the attached machine gun turrets began to rotate forward, the self-defense machine guns on both sides of the fuselage also began to urgently change direction, and the bombardiers in the engine room began to code out rows of bullet chains.

The sighting officer, with beads of sweat the size of a bean, was reporting the distance through the scope on the belly of the plane.

"Distance 4000, height 4500."

"Distance 3500, height 4000."

"Distance 3000"

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the machine-gun battery above.

"Shina Fighter ~~~"

The R Army commander's eyes suddenly widened, and he opened his mouth and shouted: "What direction?" ”

Before the words were finished, a series of metal cracking sounds came into the cabin, and several clouds of blood mist exploded from the commander's chest in vain, and his body trembled again and again, and the fierceness in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and he fell softly.

Blood and sparks splattered from the inside of the plane, and from the nose to the cabin, a neat row of holes appeared in the ceiling.

After Huang Guoxing piloted the plane to complete a dive strike, he immediately followed a roll and pulled away to the left, and his plane had a limited climb speed, so the opportunity to use the altitude advantage to dive and strike was only this once.

But the firepower of the Hawker III was obviously not too sufficient, the bomber fuselage was huge, and he hit too well in this wave and did not knock down the pilot plane. The shots of the two comrades also left only a few bullet holes in the enemy wing.

Huang Guoxing was a little annoyed, he didn't know that although he didn't knock out the plane in this wave, he killed the enemy's commander.

"Shoot ~ Shoot ~ "

The R military aircraft group was a little panicked in an instant, and the machine guns fired at Huang Guoxing one after another, and yellow tracer bullets appeared in the sky, constantly biting the tail of his plane.

Entering the battle, Huang Guoxing's adrenaline soared, and at this time, he couldn't afford to think about it any more, and the only thought in his mind was to knock down the enemy's plane.

In the face of the enemy's group of 9 planes, the three-plane formation obviously did not have an advantage, since this was the case, the efficiency of using the formation attack was very low, Huang Guoxing immediately made a decision, made a gesture, let his comrades disperse, launched a free attack, and then he himself began to find a new angle.

The bombers are all in groups, forming a network of anti-aircraft fire with self-defense machine guns, and if a single fighter wants to rush in, it is similar to a single cavalry charging formation on the ancient battlefield, which is extremely dangerous.

But at this moment, he had no choice but to rush forward and disrupt the formation of enemy aircraft.

Opportunity!

The two comrades-in-arms dispersed to the sides of the enemy plane, attracting a lot of firepower, Huang Guoxing saw the opportunity, bullied himself again, detoured in front of the enemy plane, and began to dive again in a slightly higher position.

The enemy's machine-gun fire was instantaneous, and who knew that this time he simply flipped a shot, and after the plane gained the acceleration of the dive, he immediately pulled down and rolled downwards one by one.

The plane flew over the enemy's flank, and the enemy's machine guns simply could not keep up with him.

"Ah~~~"

A roar of rage.

Huang Guoxing drilled under the enemy's group, hurriedly changed his dive attitude, overcame the acceleration on his body, gritted his teeth and pulled up the joystick, pulled up diagonally, and the enemy plane appeared in the center of the scope again.

Aim at the wing, pull the trigger.

"Sudden Sudden Sudden Sudden

A series of tongues of fire burst out, only to see the huge enemy bomber flash sparks at the position of the wings, and then, burst out of a piece of fire, and then the entire wing suddenly tore and flew, and the fuselage instantly disintegrated in the air, with layers of firelight, falling downward.

"Let's fight!"
