    At 9:30 in the morning, the Japanese 27th Division had launched four attacks on the Hongtu Ridge defense line. The artillery alone fired more than a thousand shells weighing more than 25 tons.

    But even so, the Japanese army still failed to break through the defending positions, but suffered heavy losses.

    ¡°But Honma Masaharu didn¡¯t seem to care about the casualties of the soldiers at all, and still ordered the troops to continuously attackattackattack again.

    Just when the two sides were fighting fiercely, the Japanese airports in places as far away as Nanjing and Zhenjiang also became lively. Fighter planes took off under the command of the ground command and then flew to Jiujiang.

    Although the aviation regiment of the Central China Front suffered heavy losses from Li Guoyao's troops a month ago, and more than 150 fighter planes were killed within a few days, with the strong industrial production capabilities of the little devils, these losses were quickly wiped out.  Made it up back.

    In addition, in order to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the aviation forces in Central China, the Little Devils specially dispatched two aviation groups from North China to the south. Therefore, the current combat effectiveness of the Japanese aviation forces in Central China is not weak.

    The first batch of Japanese fighter planes that took off was not many. There were only 32 bombers and 12 destroyers. The target was Hongtu Ridge.

    But as soon as the Japanese army took action, the Nationalist Government received the news!

    Hankou. Navigation Commission!

    In the combat command room, senior generals of the Air Force were busy analyzing the battlefield situation and responsible for arranging the transfer of fighter planes!

    But at this moment, a second lieutenant stood up suddenly and said: "Sir, I received a telegram from observation post No. 678. The Japanese army has 12 Type 96 destroyers and more than 30 bombers flying from the direction of Nanjing and Zhenjiang.  Come here, the target is unknown!"

    Zhou Zhirou said solemnly: "The little devils are heading west with no more than two goals. One is to carry out conventional bombing of Wuhan, and the other may be to reinforce frontline operations."

    Mao Bangchu shook his head and said: "The possibility of bombing Wuhan is not high. The little devils have suffered big losses in Wuhan one after another. They will never dare to send more planes to bomb Wuhan until they understand the situation."

    "Then you mean that the little devil's goal is to reinforce the frontline operations?"

    "Not necessarily. Don't forget that the navy still has a large number of ships in Jiujiang. Maybe the little devil's target is that fleet!" Mao Bangchu said.

    "Well, that makes sense. Let's do this. Let the Air Force take off immediately, and closely monitor the movements of the Japs on the ground. Once the Japanese attack target is determined, go immediately to support the operation!" Zhou Zhirou said in a deep voice.

    "yes!"

    ?¡­

    At Hankou Wangjiadun Airport, the air force sweethearts of the Third Destroyer Group had just transferred to Wangjiadun. Before they had a chance to drink water, the piercing siren sounded in the airport.

    Everyone knew that this was a combat alert and must board the plane immediately. No one complained. They all quickly packed up their personal belongings and gathered in front of the airport, waiting for the captain to announce the combat order.

    At the same time, at Nanchang Qingyunpu Airport, the pilots of the Fourth Brigade are also getting ready

    Without going into too much detail, after briefly introducing the basic situation of this battle, the two destroyer groups quickly took off and flew towards the direction of the Japanese fighter planes.

    Luo Yingde, Liu Zhesheng and Bolgewisonsky led a Chinese and Soviet mixed formation, flying fighter planes all the way east!

    At a quarter past ten, an emergency was heard on the ground. Japanese fighter planes flew to Jiujiang, but they did not engage in battle. Instead, they flew south. The target was suspected to be Li Guoyao's headquarters on the Hongtu Ridge front line or the First Corps headquarters on the De'an front line. Therefore,  The Aviation Commission ordered Luo Yingde and others to immediately go to the Hongtu Ridge line to intercept Japanese fighter planes.

    At 10:40, the plane arrived over Hongtu Ridge!

    At this time, the Japanese aviation force had already entered the battle and was bombarding the 61st Army on the ground unscrupulously. Li Guoyao's troops did not give in. The two air defense regiments opened up their firepower and launched a crazy counterattack, launching a ground-to-air battle.

    At the same time, the Japanese army's offensive on the ground continued unabated. With the assistance of aviation forces, large numbers of Japanese soldiers continued to flow in like a tide, and the battle was extremely fierce.

    After the Sino-Soviet mixed formation arrived at the battlefield, they immediately entered the battle without hesitation.

    At this time, the Japanese Air Force also discovered the Chinese Air Force. The 12 96 warships quickly changed their formations, protecting the bombers in the middle, and launched a bloody battle with the Chinese Air Force.

    Liu Zhesheng took a fancy to the leading Japanese plane. He first quickly raised the fighter plane, then quickly turned around and dived. The fighter plane was instantly above the head of the Japanese plane. At the same time, Liu Zhesheng pressed the fire button.

      "Da da da"

    But the pilot of the Japanese fighter plane was also a guy with very rich combat experience. He quickly lowered his flying altitude to avoid Liu Zhesheng's blow.

    Although it was a pity that Liu Zhesheng arrived, he was not discouraged. He immediately gritted his teeth and stepped on the accelerator. The I-16 fighter jet chased the Japanese fighter jet straight, and the two sides launched a chase battle in the air.

    Seeing this, other fighter planes immediately joined the battle, and a huge air battle began over the Red Clay Ridge!

    The air raid on Hongtu Ridge was carried out by the Japanese Army's North China Front Provisional Aviation Regiment. A few days ago, these Japanese pilots took off from Peking Nanyuan Airport and Tianjin Dongjuzi Airport and transferred to Central China.

    These Japanese aviation forces did not take the Chinese army seriously. Unlike the Japanese aviation forces in central China, they had seen the power of the Chinese air force and ground forces, so they were relatively cautious in fighting.

    "And these new Japanese soldiers are used to being rampant in North China. They simply don't believe that the anti-aircraft firepower of the ground forces can threaten their existence, so they are all extremely arrogant.

    Even though the wild Japanese fighter planes saw the national army aircraft coming for reinforcements, they still did not give up their intention to bomb the defenders on the ground. The fighter planes swooped down one after another, and aerial bombs were dropped one after another.

    The little Japanese pilots were grinning crazily, seeming to show to China and the world the superiority of the Yamato nation they always believed in, their might, their invincibility, and the arrogance of the old Japanese Air Force.  .

    However, the dexterous "I-16" aircraft of the 3rd and 4th Brigades were not idlers. Under the command of Luo Yingde, they quickly completed the formation and went directly to the battlefield.

    After the fighter plane joined the battle group, Luo Yingde's sharp eyes searched around, like alert falcons, searching for the long-awaited prey.

    The rumbling motor was spinning and singing happily, singing happily that the moment had finally arrived.

    Right nowadays, the fragmented mountains and rivers, hundreds of millions of pairs of revenge and anger, stimulated these dozens of bloody Chinese youths.  They want to beat up these Japanese soldiers severely.

    In the clouds, Luo Yingde first discovered the target.

    After giving the order, he took the lead to pounce on the enemy aircraft, and all the aircraft rushed towards the enemy's formation.

    Thunder suddenly rolled in the gloomy sky, and fire dragons flew.

    "I-16" flies up and down, like a mosquito dragon going out to the sea, like a tiger descending from the mountain.  Dive attacks again and again, accompanied by patches of green light and thunder, exploding among the enemy aircraft.

    This unexpected situation shocked the Japanese plane.  They never dreamed that the Chinese fighter planes on the front line would be so fast and fierce.

    Soon, the "solar" formation that was neat and tidy a few minutes ago suddenly became chaotic, and the Japanese pilots tried their best to deal with it.

    Luo Yingde clung to a "Type 96" Japanese plane, his mind was surprisingly calm.  While observing whether there were Japanese aircraft on the left or right, he stepped on the accelerator and approached the target step by step.

    Luo Yingde gritted his teeth and told himself in his heart that he must get closer before fighting.

    The Japanese pilot targeted by Luo Yingde also realized his situation and violently turned left and right, swinging up and down, trying to avoid Luo Yingde.

    But Luo Yingde¡¯s fighter plane followed closely like a shadow.  Soon, the Japanese aircraft clearly fell into the center of the shooting aperture.

    At this moment, Luo Yingde didn¡¯t hesitate and pressed the fire switch directly!

    "Da da da¡­¡­"

    "Boom!"

    A dull thunder exploded in the clouds, and a red fireball floated toward the red clay ridge below with thick black smoke. The Japanese fighter plane was shot down.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
