Chapter 1113 The Wonderful Air Combat (End)
Chu Yunfei originally wanted to try his best.

A soldier should have the backbone of a soldier.

Could it be that because the Japanese army is going to launch a full-scale air strike, they are so afraid that they dare not even stay with a stable air defense command?
After all, this is the best place to watch the battle when the Japanese army launched a full-scale air strike.

The signal soldier of the Eighth Route Army continued: "I have conveyed the order of the detachment leader. Please transfer the officers immediately. I have to inform the commanders of the Eighth Route Army. Don't bother me."

Said, turned and left.

It means...the commanders of the Eighth Route are also preparing to evacuate from the headquarters in the city?

Yang Chongshan and Wu Changsheng turned their heads and left. These two old boys who were in conflict wanted to hook their shoulders on their backs.

Fang Ligong looked at Chu Yunfei, "Leader, do we want to..."

"Evacuate immediately, a gentleman is not in danger!"

The thick eyebrows, big eyes, majestic appearance, and heroic face of Captain Chu said seriously.

"Yes!" Fang Ligong heaved a sigh of relief.

……

The aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army and the bombers naturally all stayed at the airport, under the command of Major Davis, waiting for orders from the headquarters at any time, preparing to take the opportunity to go to Shanghai to implement the sneak attack plan.

The remaining modified fighter jets were all put into the air battle in Licheng.

Doolittle's initial plan of operations at the headquarters was:
"Using the 97-type fighter squadron to dive at high altitude, raid the Japanese escort formation, and use a wave of offensive to disperse the Japanese flying team as much as possible.

After this wave of rapid raids, the 97th Fighter Squadron withdrew at high speed. If the Japanese fighters dared to pursue them, the Zhong Xu Squad and the Falcon Squadron would take advantage of their speed and turn back.

If the plan goes well, once the devil's escort fighter group is dispersed.

The remaining light and heavy bombers of the Japanese army are no different from lambs to be slaughtered in front of our modified fighter jets.

Maybe we can severely damage the Japanese bomber formation in one fell swoop and achieve fruitful results! "

in fact.

After the actual air combat between the two sides started.

If it is said to operate according to the routine, the Eighth Route Army's fighter formation does not have the air search and radar intelligence support of the electric detection command center, and it may run into the most elite Type [-] Falcon Squadron of the Devils head-on.

But with the detective team, it's different.

All the air search radars in the Licheng airspace turned on the search, and immediately found that the Devils naval bombers and army bombers were bombing at high altitude around the city of Licheng.
However, there is only one squadron of fighter jets patrolling in the south of Licheng, two fighter squadrons are escorting the urban area, and two fighter squadrons are guarding the airspace in the north of Licheng.

After Kong Jie got in touch with Doolittle, he immediately decided:
"The aviation unit first bypassed the airspace in the north of Licheng and entered the battlefield from the north of Lucheng. It first attacked the Japanese security squadron in the south, and then attacked the two escort fighter squadrons of the Japanese army that came to support them.

Finally, retreat to the west, attracting the elite northern flying team of the Devils to pursue westward. "

The battle quickly unfolds:

A team of Type 97 fighter jets took off first, and with the support of the electric detection radar troops around the airport, they quickly destroyed the Japanese reconnaissance planes in the airspace.

Immediately, the fighter formations of the Eighth Route Army took off one by one - the repaired Type 97 Falcon Squad, the 97 Fighter Squad, and the [-] Reconnaissance Squadron.

When the Eighth Route Army fighter formation attacked the Devils reconnaissance plane, the Devils pilots quickly passed on the information to the Japanese Licheng fighter force.

I learned that the secret aviation unit of the Eighth Route Army that His Excellency the Commander-in-Chief has been thinking about has finally appeared.

The Japanese command quickly made adjustments.

Order a fighter group to go north to guard.

The Japanese Chengbei Elite Air Force stayed away from the airspace of Licheng for the time being.

Then, the Eighth Route Fighter Group flew to the west of Taihang Mountain and entered the battlefield via Lucheng.

Using the 97 heavy machine gun of the 12.7 fighter jets, the enemy opened fire first, and cooperated with the ground reconnaissance and intelligence forces to destroy the Japanese commander's plane with a radio station.

Afterwards, the various fighter groups of the Japanese army were completely dispersed by means of dispersal operations.

Before the battle started, Kong Jie and Doolittle considered this:
"The planes of the Japanese army do not have reliable short-wave radio communication, basically the commander's plane has a radio station, and the communication between the squadrons is all based on gestures and wordpads!

As long as the landlines can be destroyed and the formation of the devils can be disrupted, the Falcon formation and the Zhongxu formation can start strangling when the various Japanese flying teams cannot obtain effective communication and cooperate in combat.

This is true.

The Japanese army probably never thought that one day they would launch such a large-scale air-to-air battle with the Eighth Route Army.

The arrogance of the commanders of the devil's flying units in Central China, North China, and East China also made them think that even if the Eighth Route Army had aviation units, it was just some old and outdated fighter planes and the most primitive way of fighting.

As everyone knows, a secret aviation force built by a team.

In addition to the fact that the number of fighter planes is not too much, it mainly depends on the capture from the Japanese army.

The modified and improved fighter jets and bombers are already ahead of the Japanese flying troops in terms of flight speed, protection capability, firepower configuration and stable means of communication.

The devil did not expect this.

The old devil Okamura can probably guess some, after all, even the ace American pilot Doolittle and his party are in the base of the Eighth Route Army.

But how many people are willing to listen to what he, a general who is constantly losing battles, is willing to listen to?
Not to mention those arrogant naval aviation units and the Japanese flying units in East China.

that's it.

Under the careful command of Kong Jie and Doolittle and his party, a secret aviation unit launched a battle against the Japanese flying units, an improved anti-air tactic similar to the division, outflanking, and annihilation on the ground.

After the soldiers successfully destroyed the Japanese security formation in the south of the city.

At this time, the Japanese escort formation over Licheng received a distress telegram.

The Japanese army soon made another stupid mistake.

Because the Eighth Route Army's actions were too fast, and the Japanese army's means of communication were greatly limited.

The news received by the Japanese Army Command was that the Eighth Route Army dispatched a large number of 97 fighter formations.

As for the news of Falcon Squad, Zhong Kui Squad, and other types of aircraft attacking, the Japanese command has not received any news yet.

In order to quickly eliminate the [-] fighter formation dispatched by the eight routes.

The Japanese command did not think too much, and quickly mobilized several fighter squadrons, and hurried to support them.

"Good come!"

In the headquarters, Kong Jie spoke excitedly.

After the two sides quickly approached.

The aviation rockets assigned to the special fighter formations of the Eighth Route Army were all put into use.

Under full fire.

The aviation rockets with trailing smoke and the galloping Japanese aircraft were heading towards each other, and the relative speed reached a terrifying level.

immediately……

boom -

A series of popping sounds.

Three of the Japanese fighter jets were destroyed on the spot, and several others were severely damaged.

Under the blind reinforcement, the large group formed by a large number of fighters was also broken up in an instant.

The Eighth Route Army pilots also took advantage of the absolute range of the 12.7 aviation machine guns to fire first from a long distance, pressing down on the Japanese 7.7 aviation machine guns with a relatively short range.

Soon, the devil's large aircraft formation was completely dispersed.

Falcon's team and Zhong Xu's team, who were at high altitude, appeared like ghosts at this time, and used high altitude and high speed to start strangling again.

After a short confrontation, the Eighth Route Fighter Unit repelled the devil's escort formation.

But without stopping, they quickly evacuated to the western airspace of Licheng, attracting the remaining Japanese aircraft and the elite flying team who came to support from the northern airspace to pursue them.

After the remaining escort formation of the Japanese army merged with the elite flying team that came to support from the north, they went to the west of Licheng and pursued them in the mountains around Xiangyuan.

The pilots and soldiers were waiting for this moment.

The brave American pilots in Yigao even controlled the distance and hung the Devil's fighter plane behind their buttocks not too far or too close.

Not long after, the devil was successfully lured to the designated airspace.

In the mountain forest corresponding to the airspace, there are lurking Eighth Route Army electric detection units and anti-aircraft artillery units. When the devil formation enters the ambush area, all kinds of anti-aircraft artillery fire violently.

The Japanese pilots who pursued did not expect such a method from the Eighth Route Army.

Just like that, they plunged into the ambush airspace set up by the soldiers of the Eighth Route Army.

The commander who led the team was also full of excitement.

"Grandma, for so many years, our regular troops can only ambush the devil's infantry, but this time we have grown up and are going to ambush the devil's plane!

Everyone set up the muzzle for me in advance, set up the muzzle, and according to the coordinated mode of air combat that we usually teach specially, after a while, the devil's plane flew over and beat me hard.

Try to shoot down all the enemy planes for me! "

The raid broke out suddenly.

The ghost pilots of the plane were caught off guard.

They hurriedly operated to increase the altitude, and the fighters could no longer maintain the original battle formation, and were quickly dispersed.

At this time, the Falcon Formation and Zhong Kui Formation, which had separated at high altitude and high speed in the early stage of the Eighth Route Army, took advantage of this opportunity to quickly launch an attack.

After the two elite Falcon Squadrons and 97 Fighter Squadrons in the north of Guizicheng passed the anti-aircraft artillery ambush, they joined the Eighth Route Army's Zhong Xu formation and the Falcon formation for a key attack.

The Eighth Route Army's 97 fighter jet formation, which was responsible for luring the enemy in the early stage, regrouped and continued to launch raids, hunting and killing the Devil 97 fighter jets that had escaped from the formation and fled in all directions.

The three-way fighter force cooperates and cooperates in operations.

Under the premise that the whole could not compete with the strength of the Japanese air force, they continued to divide and annihilate the Japanese fighter force with local advantages.

Coupled with the air defense forces of the Eighth Route Army in the Licheng area, a considerable part of the Japanese army's flying troops were restrained.

It also consumed a large amount of ammunition of the Japanese fighter planes and caused a lot of damage to the Japanese fighter planes.

After a team of secret aviation troops, the three-way fighter squad quickly attacked, it really got twice the result with half the effort, and the little devils were caught off guard and embarrassed.

The whole air battle.

The Falcon fighter formation and the Zhong Kui fighter formation of the Eighth Route Army are like the tip of a knife, stabbing back and forth on the Japanese army continuously, cutting apart the formation of the Japanese flying team one by one.
These modified fighter jets are powerful and fast.

In the process of confrontation with the Japanese fighter jets, they were basically at a disadvantage.

This made the Japanese pilots who fought against it complain endlessly. This is not like an Eighth Route Army unit with backward equipment that they once dismissed!

It's almost like an excellent US military flying team.

For this air combat.

Kong Jie called it: "Absolute Superiority Strike Tactics!"

——First use the ground-air combat in Licheng to consume the spirit of the Japanese flying troops, and when the devil's flying troops are already exhausted, a secret air force takes the opportunity to take action.

Take the lead first, show the enemy's weakness, and then wait for work at ease, encircling on all sides.

Make full use of the advantage of the long range of the weapon, fire the enemy first, and the advantages of better protection and faster speed of the aircraft, and attack the formation of devils.

All formations use U.S. pilots as lead planes and Eighth Route Army pilots as wingmen to cooperate with each other.

Use your strengths to attack the devil's weaknesses.

Using the coordination and cooperation of the three-way fighter team, they continued to attack everywhere, disrupting the formation of the Japanese flight team whose command was not unified and whose communication methods were backward, causing it to completely fall into chaos.

As a result, the Japanese flying team fought by the three-way fighter formation was in chaos.

It was the perfect time for Major Davis to lead the secretly formed bomber unit, following the chaos of the Japanese army being beaten, and the fleeing flying unit to take the opportunity to rush to Shanghai and attack the large Japanese military airport.

Sort it out as a whole:
First, the Eight Route Army aggressively attacked Licheng, and announced in a high-profile manner that a military parade would be held in Licheng, and the time was set on August 8st, the Army Day, forcing the Japanese army to launch an air strike.

Second, the secretly built Licheng air defense force and the camouflage fortifications made by Licheng to paralyze the Japanese army dragged the flying troops from all sides of the Japanese army to make the Japanese soldiers sleepy.

Third, a secret aviation unit took the opportunity to attack, and the Japanese flight formation was in chaos and retreated in embarrassment.

Fourth, Davis, who had been on the alert for a long time, led the bomber formation, took the opportunity to mix into the chaotic evacuation of the Japanese army's flying troops, and rushed all the way to Shanghai. An air strike plan was launched at the airport.

On the whole, it can be said that one ring after another is interlocking.

so that...

When Kong Jie first proposed the layout and battle plan of the entire battle at the former enemy general headquarters, the deputy commander, chief of staff, and teacher were all amazed and worried.

Once the deployment of this ring after ring is successful, it will undoubtedly deal a huge blow to the Japanese army.

But for the same reason, because the deployment is too delicate, there are too many steps that cannot be missed.

Once a certain link is off the chain, it will be bad.

In the end, the courageous deputy commander-in-chief made the final decision and settled the battle:

"beat!"

"We didn't know what the future would be like in the Hundred Regiments War, which was so difficult back then, but we still had to fight."

"Nowadays, our army has grown a lot, and our equipment has also improved a lot. If we can still let the little devils bully us, we can't justify it. Our Eighth Route Army can't afford to lose this man!"

The soldiers were also full of fighting spirit, and quickly arranged and discussed the details of the overall battle plan.

In the end, this milestone was achieved, the great victory of the Eighth Route Army Air Force's first air-to-air combat!
