After the Western Army left, nothing was left behind. The only thing left behind was the tattered military uniforms that were stripped off by Hu Lian's Twelfth Army. Hu Lian, the commander of the Twelfth Army, understood the connotation of this battle plan very thoroughly.

Jinan frowned when he saw the soldiers of the Western Army. This military uniform is too shabby. There is no other way to make do with it. If the Western Army has to make it temporarily,

I don’t know how long it will take to get the uniforms of the army. So, the soldiers of the Twelfth Army reluctantly put on the shabby military uniforms of the Western Army. From the appearance, they suddenly looked like Hanazi Army.

In contrast to the Western Army, they were overjoyed and walked away happily wearing the beautiful new uniforms of the Chinese Imperial Army.

The battle started on the 18th. It was not the army but the air force that started the battle. When the enemy's air force began to take off, the Chinese Imperial Army's radar had already detected it. Moreover, the big bird in the sky knew very clearly the number and number of the Japanese air force.

type.

Yucheng Airport, located on the west bank of the Yellow River, quickly sounded the battle alarm. Lu Yuxiao, deputy commander of the Air Force, William, chief of staff of the Air Force Staff, and others in the headquarters quickly issued combat orders after confirming the type and number of aircraft dispatched by the enemy air force.

: "The invaders dispatched twelve Air Force fighter jets and eight bombers. The Air Force Command ordered the Second Division of the Imperial Chinese Air Force to attack and resolutely destroy the invading enemy."

"Resolutely execute the order, and all the officers and soldiers of the Second Division promise to resolutely complete the task." Gao Zhihang, commander of the Second Division, replied firmly.

The engines at the airport roared, and the planes quickly entered the runway, roared into the blue sky, and gradually formed a battle formation in the sky and flew towards the east.

The Air Force organization of the Chinese Empire is different from that of other countries. The smallest unit is a flying squad. Each squad consists of three aircraft. A squadron has four squads with a total of twelve aircraft. A group has four squadrons with forty-eight aircraft. A regiment has four aircraft.

The group has a total of 192 aircraft, and one division and four regiments have a total of 768 aircraft. The organization is quite large.

Gao Zhihang personally led the attack as the division commander. The Jinan battle was mainly for military training. Most of the pilots had not been tested in actual combat. Therefore, each team had an old pilot as the team leader and two

The rookies form a battle formation.

In this battle, the Second Division dispatched a brigade of fighter jets. Forty-eight fighter jets. Your sister, isn’t this a group fight? In fact, it can’t be said that. After all, the air force pilots of the Chinese Empire have not experienced aerial battles, leaving a group of rookies and experienced

The air force of a weak country is fighting in a one-on-one duel. This kind of stupidity

How could the Chinese Imperial Army do this? Therefore, this battle adopted a three-on-one tactic, which not only trained soldiers and saw blood, but also allowed these rookies to see the real battlefield and attacked the Chinese Air Force, firmly controlling the air.

Winning can also boost the morale of the air force soldiers, so why not do it.

"Attention to all ministries, the fourth squadron in this battle is responsible for annihilating the enemy's bomber formation. The other squadrons will work with me to attack the enemy's fighter formation. The first step is to take advantage of the flexibility of our aircraft, their fierce firepower, and their long-range shooting."

, concentrate all firepower to attack the enemy aircraft group, and then quickly pull up the aircraft to form a combat team to seize the fighter aircraft and eliminate the enemy. Do you understand?" Gao Zhihang used the communication device to convey the instructions.

"Report to the division commander, we understand and will resolutely implement the order." Each squadron leader quickly replied.

"Okay, I hope everyone will shoot down more enemy planes and strive for the first victory. Guys, go to work, let's go." Gao Zhihang said cheerfully.

Thirty-six aircraft from three squadrons formed a large formation and followed Gao Zhihang's aircraft flying eastward, with twelve aircraft from one squadron roaring behind them.

The aircraft of the Second Division of the Chinese Imperial Air Force only have aircraft numbers and no markings on the fuselage. This time they still use biplanes. The aircraft of the Chinese Imperial Army are obviously much smaller than those of other countries, because the entire fuselage is as small as possible.

Using lightweight materials, including the engine,

Coupled with the high power of the engine, the aircraft's performance in all aspects is significantly better than that of aircraft of this era. It flies fast, flies high, is maneuverable and equipped with advanced firearms. If an experienced pilot flies the aircraft

You can absolutely abuse the enemy aircraft in a one-on-one duel with the enemy.

The aircraft fleet flew to an altitude of 4,000 meters. According to Big Bird's information, the enemy aircraft was flying at an altitude of about 1,000 meters. Gao Zhihang led the flying athletes to the north side of the enemy aircraft, and then crossed over to the enemy aircraft fleet.

After flying downward for a period of time, after passing through a section of clouds and fog, we quickly approached the enemy's aircraft group.

Zhihang took the lead in accelerating the dive towards the enemy's aircraft group, followed closely by the large group of aircraft. At this time, there was some slight commotion in the enemy's aircraft group. Apparently some individual aircraft discovered Gao Zhihang's aircraft group. Under this situation, Gao Zhihang decisively issued the order.

issued combat instructions: "Attention, all units, all aim at the enemy aircraft... prepare... to fire!"

Well, forty-eight planes opened fire almost at the same time. The sound of shooting was so shocking that it was almost like a crackling sound exploding in the sky. Immediately afterwards, three planes in the Japanese fleet were shot, and one of the planes exploded on the spot.

Two planes burst into flames and teetered, and then another plane was hit and exploded.

Seeing that he was about to approach the top of the enemy aircraft group, Gao Zhihang took the lead in pulling up the aircraft and at the same time ordered: "Each team quickly formed a combat formation and looked for fighter planes to fight freely."

The fleet of aircraft followed Gao Zhihang's plane and then quickly spread out in the sky. Three aircraft formed a combat squad and dived towards the chaotic enemy fleet. The squad leaders were all veteran pilots with combat experience, and as the lead aircraft, they were in the center

position, with a new pilot immediately behind him on the left

The formation was very strange. A small group of three planes captured an enemy plane and began to attack. There were still old planes far away from the enemy plane.

Two planes far away opened fire. This is our advantage. Who told us to shoot farther than the enemy's guns?

You can't hit me, but I can hit you. The enemy, who was already a little flustered by the surprise attack, became even more panicked when he saw the opponent's two planes firing at the same time. He couldn't hit the opponent at this distance. Damn, I'm so frustrated.

Even if you can't hit, you have to open fire, at least to embolden yourself. This guy is busy working in court

The opponent opened fire, but did not notice that the opponent was a combat team of three aircraft. What a tragedy. The plane at the high position dived down from the side and came over with a burst of strafing. The aircraft of the Yi Army were hit in many places by continuous strafing.

, followed by an explosion, and the plane turned into a pile of debris and fell to the ground.

It was a group fight, three against one, uh, no, it was no longer three against one, four planes had been shot down in front of us. Ni Ma, this is too bullying! The whole battle went very fast, and it didn’t last long in the sky.

There were no enemy planes left, and only one injured plane managed to escape. The Air Force's first air combat battle almost ended with the total annihilation of the enemy forces.

The fleet of the Second Division of the Imperial Chinese Air Force formed a formation in the sky again. Many new pilots were so excited that they stretched out their fingers on their planes and shouted: "Yeah, yeah!"

When the soldiers were almost cheering, Gao Zhihang said: "Brothers, go back and open the champagne to celebrate, and go home." A large group of planes roared and flew westward.

It has to be said that for new pilots who have not experienced actual combat, a winning battle is very precious to them. Victory in the first battle makes their confidence burst, and it is always much better than a failed first battle. Of course, the power comparison in this battle is very different, even

When two squads compete to hit an enemy plane, the pilot who hits the enemy plane will naturally be excited, while the pilot who fails to hit the enemy plane will definitely be a little frustrated. This is inevitable.

When summing up after the war, some people asked why so many aircraft were dispatched to the battle. It was better to send out aircraft similar to those of the enemy to train pilots.

In this regard, division commander Gao Zhihang solemnly pointed out: "The Generalissimo has taught us again and again: There is no immortality in war, but cherishing the life of every soldier is something that each of our commanders must always bear in mind. Yes, our main focus in this battle is

The purpose of military training is to let new recruits appreciate the cruelty and authenticity of the battlefield. However, if there are a large number of injuries,

If we die, we lose more than we gain. The growth of a pilot is not completed in one day, it must be a process. The most important thing about winning today's battle is that there were no casualties. It not only trained the soldiers but also won the victory. This is the biggest achievement.

This battle of our division fully reflects the will of the Generalissimo, and every recruit should be grateful to the Generalissimo for his wisdom!"

After listening to the division commander's words, everyone understood that there was such a saying in it, and their admiration for the generalissimo jumped to a higher level.

Seeing that everyone understood what he meant, Commander Gao Zhihang continued: "You all know the deeds of the twenty-seven martyrs. It was because of the carelessness of the commander at that time that unnecessary sacrifices were caused. The regiment commander is still upset to this day.

He drank all day long, and now he has left the front-line army to serve in the Construction Corps. The only remaining recruit at the time is now like this

As the commander of a company, he visits the homes of the twenty-seven martyrs every year and directly supports them as his own relatives. Our army is different from the army of any other country. Both officers and soldiers have the same

The ideal is to fight for the hope of the nation. The camaraderie between soldiers is stronger than any other army, and they all have the will to share life and death together."

Gao Zhihang's words resonated with everyone. Whether they were new recruits, officers and soldiers from other armies, or existing veterans, they all felt deeply about this. They were all proud to be members of the Imperial Chinese Army. Everyone
