Chapter 196 Air Combat
"When the battle begins, we won't have time to take care of the military fortress and the military industrial fortress. These two places will be handed over to Lao Zhao and Shu Bing. Don't let the backyard catch fire."
"Commander, don't worry, they are very stable! They have conducted air defense drills more than a dozen times, and the surrounding police stations and local armed forces have been mobilized by them. If the Japanese want to infiltrate, they will have no chance!"
Li Yunlong nodded. Zhao Gang and Lin Shubing were indeed Confucian generals. They did things flawlessly and were the best at guarding the family.
Just as the two were chatting happily, a burst of urgent air raid alarm sounded.
"Report to the commander. According to the radar and intelligence, the Japanese First Flying Regiment took off from Taiyuan. 20 Zero fighters escorted 20 light and heavy bombers and flew towards Pingshun. They are expected to arrive in half an hour!"
"I didn't expect the Japs' revenge to come so quickly! Lao Zhao and Shubing's air defense drills were put to good use!"
After Li Yunlong finished speaking, he led all the command staff into the underground bunker.
As soon as he entered the underground bunker, Li Yunlong immediately contacted the aviation division.
"Lv Tianlong, bombing the Japanese army camp is just an appetizer. Now comes the tough battle. The Japanese won't be able to swallow this insult. You have to show the spirit of our independent column!"
Wearing a flight cap, Lu Tianlong is now full of energy. The gloomy mood he had been in for several years has disappeared by half after the bombing.
Let’s vent out the remaining half today!
"Commander, don't worry, just watch me, I'll set off some fireworks for you!"
"Hahaha, beat the hell out of him!"
Although Lu Tianlong looked down on the Japanese Zero fighters from the bottom of his heart, he still made thoughtful arrangements.
The First and Second Flying Groups all took off to meet the enemy and wiped out the Japanese outside the base.
All anti-aircraft guns in the base immediately entered the highest state of combat readiness, ready to fire into the air at any time.
Multiple radar stations surrounding Pingshun and Changzhi were also searching for Japanese aircraft at full power to ensure that nothing went wrong.
Kenjiro Keisanura, who was far away in Jincheng, looked at Changzhi and Jincheng in the north with a sneer.
"The Independent Column dares to bomb the Imperial Army camp with just a few planes? Now let them taste the taste of the Imperial bombs!"
"General, this time the First Air Regiment will attack in full force, and the bombs they carry are enough to raze Changzhi to the ground."
As they were talking, the Japanese North China Front Army's First Flying Regiment was about to arrive to the north of Pingshun County.
"Mr. Kojima, the weather is good today. How many Chinese planes do you plan to shoot down today?"
As the Japanese ace pilot, Major Kojima shot down five Chinese planes in the Bishan air battle.
He looked at the ten crosses carved next to the plane's window, and then at the photo of a woman in a kimono pasted on the dashboard.
"Yoshi, today is Yuzi's birthday, let me shoot down five more planes as a birthday present!"
Major Kojima gently stroked the photo and looked forward.
At this time, intermittent sounds were heard from the frequency.
"At twelve o'clock ahead, we spotted Chinese aircraft, about twenty or so!"
"Yoshi, warriors in the sky, let's enjoy it!"
According to the impression of the Japanese soldiers in the First Flying Regiment, the Chinese planes were just old second-hand goods. There were only 20 planes, which were not even enough for their five planes.
In order to achieve the goal of shooting down five planes, Major Kojima pushed the accelerator and the light Zero fighter rushed forward.
Other fighter planes also rushed out.
Now China's more than 20 fighter jets are like meat on the chopping board, and they are the diners holding knives and forks.
Lu Tianlong's aviation division saw a mixed formation of Japanese fighters and bombers.
At first, twenty Zero fighters protected twenty bombers in the center.
But as soon as they saw the planes of the independent column, they all arrogantly broke away from the formation and all twenty fighter planes rushed over.
"Brothers, the Japanese don't take us seriously, do they? The opportunity for revenge has come. Let's first deal with the Japanese fighter planes, and then slowly beat up the bombers!"
A large squadron immediately formed a two-plane formation and rushed straight towards the Zero fighters.
As the leader in the center position, Lu Tianlong immediately commanded a large group of planes to disperse to both wings when they were about 1000 meters away from the Zero fighter cluster.
Xiaodao looked at the Chinese planes "fleeing" everywhere in surprise, and couldn't help but reveal a look of contempt on his face.
"Baga, these Chinese pilots don't deserve to be called soldiers!"
After saying that, he shook the rod and chased after him.
Just as he was about to start the cat-and-mouse game of investment, a dozen small black dots appeared in the upper right sky, swooping down from the clouds.
The heavy weight of the P6P Hellcat, coupled with its powerful engine thrust, pushes its speed to the extreme.
At the moment when Xiaodao was contemptuous and surprised, the captain of the second squadron, Xu Gun, had already locked onto Xiaodao's plane.
Before taking off, according to Lu Tianlong's deployment, the first squadron confronted the enemy head-on, while the second squadron hid in the clouds above and dived to attack.
"Brothers, we have been hiding in the clouds for so long, it's time to move around! Kill!"
Xu Gun pressed the machine gun button, and six M2 Browning large-caliber machine guns fired at a rate of 600 rounds per minute, spraying out a torrent of steel and directly creating a barrage of bullets.
When the Japanese soldiers on Kojima saw the planes of the Independent Column, they became more cautious because they thought they were completely different from the I-151 fighters and Hawk fighters they had seen on the battlefield in China before.
It was not until the overwhelming rain of bullets came that Kojima realized that these planes were not simple.
Kojima immediately shook the joystick, and the nimble Zero fighter somersaulted and dodged.
Another Zero fighter to his lower side was not so lucky. It was hit by an incendiary bomb on its fuel tank and immediately turned into a ball of fire.
"Baga! Everyone, pay attention, these planes from China are not simple!"
But Kojima's reminder was too late. In the blink of an eye, eight Zero fighters had been shot down by the Second Squadron.
The remaining twelve Zero fighters looked back at the planes that were on fire, and still chased after the first squadron without hesitation.
Lu Tianlong's leader and wingman were attacked by two Zero fighters.
"Step on the accelerator and pull up at high speed!"
The 2000 horsepower R2800 Twin Wasp engine enabled a large-angle climb and turn.
The Zero fighter pilots were stunned. They never expected these big guys to be so maneuverable.
"Baga, follow him!"
But as soon as they pulled the joystick, the Zero fighter began to shake violently, as if warning them that it would fall apart.
"Bag! Bag!"
They can only vent their inner rage by cursing!
"The target is lost, look for it again!"
How could Lu Tianlong and his wingman, who had already circled behind the two Zero fighters, give the Japanese an opportunity to find a new target?
