,

spn It was almost evening, and the high-power airport-specific indicator lights were already on on Runway 1 of Daxing Airport.

"Tower, tower, call tower number 15."

In the air, a series of radio waves that the airport has been waiting for for a long time finally arrived. Daxing Airport is different from several large military and civilian airports in the southwest. It lacks large airport radars, and without these navigation and early warning tools being installed, there is no way to detect the fleet of aircraft that are about to land.

To capture the position in time, we can only communicate through encrypted radio waves in the air, and use wired navigation instruments to guide the aircraft to land.

"Received from the tower, this is the tower, number 15 please speak"

"Eagle Squadron is approaching the airport, please give instructions to land."[

"Number 15, please report the direction."

After the aircraft reported its position, the tower gave the landing heading, "Number 15, heading 45, lower altitude, prepare for landing."

"clear"

The Eagle Squadron quickly arrived at the area near the airport. The aircraft's mid-range navigation equipment was turned on, received signals, and began to land on Runway No. 1 in an orderly manner under the guidance of the airport equipment.

"Salute and welcome to Daxing Airport. I am the commander of the Third Division, Chen Jun, the commander of the 19th Route Army heading north to fight against Japan." The battlefield situation was changing rapidly. There was no complicated greeting ceremony. The front line was fighting the enemy, and Chen Jun did nothing.

As for the unnecessary scene work, Major Luo Cheng, the squadron leader and several air force staff officers, waited for the Eagle Group to fly to Daxing Airport and then held a meeting after dinner.

"Salute to Major Luo Cheng, commander of the 2nd Squadron of the 5th Air Force Group."

"Salute to Air Force Staff Major and Staff Officer Lu Liang."

"Salute to Air Force Staff Captain Liu Yazhou."

There were not many participants in the meeting. In addition to Chen Jun, Chief of Staff Gao Feng and a combat staff officer, there were also Chi Yumin, the person in charge of Daxing Airport, and the four northbound Air Force officers.

Lu Liang and others first listened to Gao Feng's introduction about the Langfang battlefield.

"... Generally speaking, we are about to fall into a situation of being passively attacked in the Langfang area. It is impossible for the main force of the Third Division to invest in this unfilled hole as the Japanese army thought. Therefore, we are fighting against the 18th Route

We communicated with Commander Chen Cheng of the army and prepared to formulate a new battle plan."

In fact, what Gao Feng did not say was that the new battle plan was not to invest all the Third Division, whose main force had already arrived in Peiping, but to retreat. In the past ten days, under the influence of tens of thousands of civilians,

With help day and night, two new lines of defense have been built between Langfang and Peiping. This time, behind the line of defense is the city of Peiping.

More complete fortifications and more favorable terrain not only protect the entire Peiping, but also rely on the entire city for defensive operations. Of course, this does not conflict with the air force's combat operations, but requires their coordinated actions.

Lu Liang was the executor of the Air Force Staff Headquarters for this northward movement. He opened a piece of information marked top secret and conveyed it to Chen Jun on the spot, "The Supreme Staff Headquarters believes that the Air Force should immediately start fighting after moving northward and use offense instead of defense, causing

The enemy suffered heavy damage. In view of this, the operation planned by the Air Force Staff will take the Japanese task force near Tianjin as the combat target."

"What a generous move." Both Chen Jun and Gao Feng looked happy. If the operation went smoothly and caused the loss of the Japanese fleet, the Japanese army would be in a huge crisis, both in terms of logistics and air support.

Lu Liang briefly described the details of the combat operation, "The fighter jets of the task force squadron of the Air Force's vanguard force heading north this time have been modified, and their range and volume have been greatly improved. And the pilots are directly dispatched from the Navy's aircraft carriers.

.Although we only have ten fighter planes, three of them are modified H-2 bombers, three are new torpedo bombers that have just been installed, three J-2 fighters, and a transport aircraft with a modified air radar.

machine.

Our plan was to use radar to track the Japanese warships and planes that took off to bomb Langfang, then find their fleet, and take advantage of it to boldly attack the Japanese fleet unprepared.

The main attack will consist of three torpedo planes and three H-2 medium bombers with dive bombing capabilities, and the combat target will pass over the Japanese destroyers and cruisers and directly aim at the two Japanese aircraft carriers."

As soon as Lu Liang finished speaking, Chen Jun and others fell into deep thought. Although they were from the Army and Lu Liang and others were from the Air Force, the basic combat principles were the same. It must be said that this plan was very tempting.

With the force, the Eagle Squadron rushed to the airport in the evening, taking the Japanese completely unprepared. They did not expect that the Southwest Air Force was already in Daxing when it had the forward airport, and followed the returning ships and aircraft to launch an air attack on the Japanese fleet.[

In the past, there were only two old fighter squadrons of the Nanjing Kuomintang in the entire Peiping generation. Not to mention that these were all outdated fighter planes. Even if they were equipped with hard-charged small bombers, they might not be able to fly back.

The reason why the Japanese fleet can stay arrogantly off the coast of Tianjin is not only to facilitate the launch of ships and aircraft to support the army's operations, but also to bully the Chinese because they have no aircraft that can threaten them, especially the Kuomintang army. The air force squadron that urgently flew in from the southwest

It was even more beyond their expectations. The original intention of formulating this plan was to catch the Japanese by surprise.

"I am an army man who talks too much." Chen Jun said with a smile, "The thing that attracts Japanese air attacks is very simple. Japanese planes launch air attacks every day. As long as we launch a feint attack, and the anti-aircraft artillery does not attack them all

Fight it down, and Japanese planes will lead the way for you.

Judging from the plan itself, the biggest problem should be that the number of aircraft is too small. According to what I know, after the naval battle in the southeast, the Japanese army was the first to strengthen the fleet's air defense force. Only ten fighters can attack it in the event of a surprise attack.

Whether it will cause significant results to the Japanese troops and whether they can safely evacuate will be the biggest problem."

"The current takeoff operation of ten aircraft is already the limit of Daxing Airport. Otherwise, if there are more aircraft, the Japanese fleet may really be annihilated." Chi Yumin, the person in charge of Daxing Airport, said with some regret, the airport is already three

Construction started on the fly, and now it can barely support a mixed squadron of ten aircraft, which is already the limit. The most important thing is that the airport's fuel reserves are too small. If the aircraft flying in with external fuel tanks can be obtained here,

Without refueling, even if you can park on the lawn, or forcefully take off directly on the lawn, it will be useless, all because there is no fuel.

"General Chen, although the number of ten fighters this time is smaller, we are absolutely confident that we can catch the Japanese by surprise. The brothers of the Third Army Regiment suffered many casualties, and our Air Force is also determined to fight to the death.

In addition, our mixed aircraft this time, three medium bombers are equipped with anti-aircraft armor, which can be regarded as an attempt to develop heavy bombers in the future. The actual offensive capabilities of torpedo aircraft have been proven in the Southeast Naval Battle, and they can indeed

It poses a fatal threat to warships that are much slower than aircraft. To be honest, the pilots of the three fighter jets, including me, are the top pilots in the Air Force. Taking into account the advanced performance of the aircraft, our three fighter jets are completely

Capable of dealing with ten Japanese ships and aircraft."

Major Luo Cheng, the squadron leader of the Fifth Battalion of the Air Force, is definitely a veteran of the Air Force. Although his military rank is not high, he has more than ten years of flying experience. He is considered the best among the earliest batch of pilots of the Southwest Air Force. He started flying the first generation

From the J-1 fighter to participating in the test flight of the most advanced J-3 fighter, his pilot journey is consistent with the development history of the Southwest Air Force.

At this time, the Japanese Air Force's aircraft models were very backward, and the pilots' air combat skills were limited by the aircraft themselves and insufficient accumulation in the aviation field. Compared with the Southwest Air Force, which had been trained for many years and had advanced aircraft models, it was really not at the same level.

Chen Jun also understood this and just made a routine inquiry. After all, as long as there is a battle, there will be risks and losses. Of course, it is best to have no losses.

After Chief of Staff Gao Feng personally coordinated and arranged, early the next morning, the First Regiment of the 3rd Division, which had replaced Dai Anlan, launched a feint attack on the Japanese advance position.

When the Chinese ** team rushed out of the trenches vigorously and launched an attack on the Japanese advance position, the Japanese army finally realized that the tired troops on the opposite side had been replaced, and what came up was a new force that was fiercely holding back its boss's breath.

A terrible fact reminded the Japanese commander that Chinese reinforcements had arrived again, and they were not those second-class divisions that were just pretending to be there, but were probably the main force in the southwest.

Because it was a feint attack, the sound of artillery and gunfire was rumbling, but it was controlled at a certain level. However, the Japanese army did not think so and immediately requested air support from ships and aircraft, because in the face of the Southwest Army, which lacked air force, and the Kuomintang Army, which had a weak air force, the ship force

Although the performance of the aircraft is relatively backward, it is a rare weapon in the air and is very effective against the Chinese Army. As for the fighter planes shot down by the Southwest Army, they are not considered. The Army also suffered heavy losses, so what about the Air Force?

Can losses be avoided?

However, when the eleven Japanese planes arrived at the left wing position defended by the First Regiment of the New Force, they encountered a denser blockage of anti-aircraft artillery. The anti-aircraft artillery brought by the First Regiment plus the anti-aircraft artillery of the Third Regiment

The anti-aircraft guns and intensive firepower gave the Japanese planes a surprise on the spot, and they knocked down five of them in one encounter.

The Japanese planes only dared to provide suppressive firepower over the advanced positions of the remnants of the Sixth Division, and no longer dared to enter the ring-shaped air defense position. This place became a graveyard for Japanese planes.

According to the fleet's analysis, unless most of the combat-ready warships and aircraft of the two aircraft carriers are dispatched at once, taking down this air defense position equipped with twenty or thirty advanced anti-aircraft guns will cost heavy losses.

The Japanese plane's flight range and stay in the air were short, and it returned quickly.

"Report, the Japanese plane is returning. Repeat, the Japanese plane is returning."

About ten kilometers above the line of fire, there was an aircraft that looked like a transport aircraft parked in the air. It was the radar aircraft of the Southwest Air Force's vanguard. This simple airborne early warning aircraft equipped with radar easily spotted the returning Japanese aircraft five kilometers away.

.

The six Japanese planes never dreamed that in the empty sky, there would actually be a plane monitoring them in the clouds five kilometers away.

"Pay attention to keep up with the Japanese plane, all other planes will take off immediately with me" [

Luo Cheng's fighter plane was in the first position to take off. After contacting the tower, it was the first to start taxiing. In less than twenty seconds, the J-2 fighter he was driving soared into the sky and was the first to fly towards the sky.

Flying in the direction of the radar plane.

All nine planes took off quickly. With their speed being much faster than that of Japanese planes, the maximum speed reached 696 kilometers per hour, which is the world's advanced level. It is by no means comparable to the world's third-rate Japanese planes.

During this process, even the radar aircraft modified from the transport aircraft could easily keep up with the returning Japanese aircraft. By the time the other nine formations caught up, they were not far from the coast, and the Japanese aircraft had never escaped from the radar.

Machine monitoring.

"Six Japanese planes are lowering their altitude. Repeat, six Japanese planes are lowering their altitude. 3000 meters, 2800 meters, 2600 meters..."

The radar machine has been reporting the descending altitude of the Japanese plane. When it dropped to a low altitude of one thousand meters, the radar with a very limited downward viewing angle was no longer useful. The radar screen finally lost the trace of the Japanese plane. This meant that

The landing aircraft is preparing to land on the ship.

Luo Cheng quickly ordered: "The radar planes are on guard outside the battlefield, preparing to guide the fleet back home. The other planes will follow me to find the location of the Japanese fleet and prepare for the attack."

With the help of the directions provided by radar planes, the Japanese fleet at sea was quickly found. From an extremely distant sky, the Japanese fleet seemed to be huddled together, and the Japanese fleet looked even smaller when looking at the Chinese aircraft reconnaissance in the distance.

Like ants.

"The fighter jets followed me to dive to cover the attack. The torpedo planes and bombers identified the Japanese aircraft carrier as soon as possible and attacked the aircraft carrier first."

Luo Cheng almost gritted his teeth and said that his hatred for the Japanese was no less than that of the people in the occupied areas. As a generation in the southwest who received modern education, Luo Cheng was one of the earliest beneficiaries. As he grew up,

He suffered enough hardships as a child and suffered enough oppression from the old society. Until the establishment of the new "government" and the implementation of various policies, he went from being an older child entering school to becoming a lieutenant colonel in the Air Force today. It can be said that he is the pioneer of the new education in Southwest China.

One of the beneficiaries of the new policy.

Being poor and humble, taking care of the family, keeping warm and missing the country, this may be the thinking of many Chinese people.

Just imagine that in the earlier era of Prime Minister Sun Yat-sen, people had no food or clothing, and they also had strong patriotic enthusiasm. Nowadays, in the southwest, patriotic enthusiasm is even higher. The patriotic education that has been effectively guided has cultivated a large number of Chinese passionate and good men.

Like other soldiers, when thinking about the Japanese army burning, killing, and looting traitors on the land of China, Luo Cheng could not wait to fly his plane to bomb the Japanese army crazily. But now, his wish is one step ahead of other Southwest pilots, and it is about to come true.

Already.

At this time, no one on the Japanese fleet realized that a huge crisis was about to come.

"Aida-kun, I heard that Mieko gave birth to a fat, white boy for you. It's really enviable."
