    The Air Force of the Republic of China was definitely an existence that cannot be ignored during the Anti-Japanese War. Unlike the Navy, which was forced to sink its warships early and withdraw from the war arena, the Air Force has been fighting tenaciously from beginning to end. Although it is difficult, it never stops.

    In fact, at the beginning of the war, the Chinese Air Force was quite capable of fighting.  It is different from the army's retreat.  Although the Chinese Air Force is equipped with old-fashioned fighters such as Hawker 2, Hawker 3, and Boeing-281, and the number is only one-ninth of the opponent, but with the excellent performance of the pilots, it can fight the Japanese army every time.  In the battle of Songhu, Wuhan, and Nanchang, those ace pilots with thousands of hours of flying experience from the Northeast Air Force and Guangzhou Air Force also dealt a head-on blow to the invading Japanese plane, causing great damage to it.  small loss.  It can be said that in the first two years of the war, although the Chinese Air Force was at a disadvantage as a whole, it still had the ability to fight the Japanese army.

    However, this situation has completely changed with the successive installation of Zero and Falcon fighter jets.  For example, in just 14 months from July 15, 1940 to September 15, 1941, the Japanese 12th Aviation Squadron was equipped with 12 Type Zero test models and shot down 153 Chinese aircraft.  , of which there were 87 fighter jets, while the Japanese side only lost two Type Zeros. The disparity is evident.

    During that time, it can be regarded as the darkest moment of the Chinese army. Both on the ground and in the air, they were absolutely crushed by the Japanese army, but the young men in the air force were not intimidated by the powerful Japanese army.  Taking off with the few remaining planes, knowing that he must die, he still has the majestic momentum of thousands of people, and fought to the death with the Japanese planes, but still the same sentence, in the face of absolute strength, personal bravery is almost impossible.  can be ignored.  The ultimate fate of these heroic pilots can only be shot down together with the plane.

    Moreover, due to the poverty of the industry and the total blockade of the Japanese army, the fighter planes lost by the Air Force could not be replenished at all. By the end of December 1941, the Chinese Air Force had only 65 planes that could take off, of which there were only 29 fighter jets. In such a situation,  It has become a luxury to let the pilot go up to die.

    For a whole year, Chongqing and the major cities in the Kuomintang-controlled area were in a state of letting the Japanese machine run freely.  The sky of China was completely shrouded in the rising sun flag. Those air force officers and soldiers who once said they wanted to defend their homes and the country looked at the Japanese planes raging above their compatriots, although their eyes were burning, they were helpless.

    The darkest hour is coming, and the dawn is not far away. Just when the Chinese Air Force is about to be annihilated like the Navy, Chennault and his Flying Tigers came.  Immediately afterwards, the U.S. government sent a large number of fighter jets, bombers, and a large number of Chinese pilots. It also helped the Nationalist government recruit educated young people from the rear for pilot training, almost rebuilding the Chinese Air Force.

    At this time, the Japanese army, which was in the process of going south, transferred all the Zero fighters away. Although the Falcon of the Army Aviation still had the advantage in performance and quantity, the P40B piloted by experienced American and Chinese pilots already had  The ability to fight against it.

    After more than a year of fierce fighting, the Chinese Air Force has regained control of the air supremacy of the Kuomintang-controlled area, and with the successive arrival of US aid planes and the graduation of aviation school students, it has gradually developed into shape.

    Now, this fledgling chick is about to make a war cry and challenge the foot pot chicken

    On April 1, 1943, the Chinese Air Force presented a well-prepared April Fool's Day gift to the Japanese troops stationed in China.

    At ten o'clock in the morning, Chongqing, Chengdu, Enshi, Zhijiang, Hengyang, Quzhou, Shangrao, Xuchang, Shangqiuthe major cities in the Kuomintang-controlled areas and the airports and air force bases near the front line simultaneously took off a large number of fighter jets and bombers.  Although they are different, the purpose is the same - to bomb the airports, important military facilities and targets of the Japanese army in Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Henan and other provinces.

    Naturally, such a large-scale operation could not be concealed from the eyes of the Japanese army. For a while, all the communication channels and telephones of the Japanese army were filled with radio waves reporting the news.  It was like a hot pot, more than a dozen telephones were ringing harshly without stopping, and the ticking sound of the radio waves was even more dense like a shower, and all the Japanese military correspondents flew up in a hurry.

    Looking at the thick stack of telegrams on the table with the same content, Toshishiro Obata and Toshiro Hata were startled, and then became furious, thinking that it would be fine for me to let those redheads bully me, the one in Chongqing has been cowarded for several years  The bald head even came to join in the fun, as if the Imperial Japanese Army was a mess.

    Beat hard, must beat hard, must beat this group of national troops completely, so that they will never come out in the Southwest.  Immediately, a counterattack telegram was sent to the Japanese airports on the air route of the national army.

    After receiving the order, the airports immediately took action.?, although experienced pilots and ground crews have been transferred to the Pacific Ocean, most of those remaining on the battlefield in China are newcomers, but they are well-trained after all, and the preparations for the station were completed in a few minutes, and then a  A Falcon fighter jet loaded with cannon shells and fuel jumped up from the runway, formed a formation in the air, and flew in the direction of the attacking national army fighter plane.

    For a time, hundreds of fighter planes and bombers painted with patterns of blue sky, white sun and rising sun appeared in the sky of central, northern and southern China. Since the start of the war, the largest air battle between China and Japan has officially kicked off.

    The National Army Air Force seems to be attacking in an all-round way, but in fact it focuses on Wuhan, Shanghai, and the front line from Xinxiang to Anyang.  The airport and important facilities here will help future operations. Shanghai is the base camp of the Japanese army in China. It is not only the location of the headquarters of the Chinese Expeditionary Force, but also a large number of Japanese overseas Chinese. Bombing Shanghai is tantamount to slapping the Japanese army in the face.  Similarly, it will have a huge political impact.

    Among them, Wuhan is the top priority. Participating in the attack are two p40e destroyer squadrons of the 14th Air Force of the United States (that is, fighter jets.  A p40b fighter squadron, an a20 bomber squadron and a byq bomber squadron, with a total of nearly 170 aircraft.

    The attack aircraft group flew directly to Wuhan in three directions. The 44th, 45th, and 55th flight teams of the 1st Flying Regiment of the Japanese Third Flying Division stationed in Wuhan and surrounding areas took off to fight against it.

    The 36 Falcon fighter jets of the 45th Flying Team met a mixed fleet of US fighter jet squadron, Chinese fighter jet squadron and bomber squadron over Honghu Lake.

    Although the number is at a disadvantage, the arrogant Japanese army did not pay attention to the mixed fleet of China and the United States.  The commander of the flight team, Major Komura Tonori, yelled arrogantly on the radio: "This group of damn **** air forces don't know which muscle is wrong, but they dare to attack us. They think they are flying the Eighth Route Army.  Jet fighters? Gentlemen, let those Yankees and those Chinese rookies who have not even grown their hair fully experience the power of the Great Japanese Eagle today, and send them all to the region with machine guns!'

    "Hi!" Immediately there was a neat reply from the radio, and then the group of Japanese pilots, led by Kimura Asuka, flew towards the big leaf in the distance.

    After the Chinese and American pilots spotted the Japanese plane, the bombers began to increase their altitude, and the fighter jets turned into a battle formation and accelerated towards the Japanese plane.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
