When the piercing air-raid siren sounded, Gao Hongming's heart tightened. Just when he was about to call the principal, he saw that Principal Hu was already shouting loudly to organize students to enter the air-raid shelter.
His swift words and movements were so skillful that even Gao Hongming felt ashamed.
At some point, Dabao also came to him and said, "Master, the enemy plane is coming, let's go into the air-raid shelter too!"
Gao Hongming thought for a moment and shook his head: "No... we will go back to the regiment headquarters immediately."
Soon, the convoy of Gao Hongming and his entourage sped towards the regiment headquarters.
half an hour ago
Today, the 2nd Squadron of the 2nd Brigade of the Flying Corps is patrolling. Squadron leader Pan Rongbao and his eight P-47s are patrolling along the route more than 100 kilometers west of Liantai County.
Patrol time is always boring, and the pilots start chatting on the intercom.
"Captain Pan, do you think we can catch the Japs' plane today?" Pan Rongbao's wingman asked boredly.
"How would I know, I'm not a roundworm in the kid's stomach." Pan Rongbao rolled his eyes in the cockpit.
"Hey...Captain Pan is lucky. He was assigned to the group captain as a wingman just after graduating from aviation school last year. In the first battle, he shot down two Japanese Type 1 fighters. You see, this military rank also goes straight to the top.
The salary has increased, and now I have been promoted to captain." Another pilot said enviously.
"I'm telling you, that's because I have a good character, do you understand?" Pan Rongbao felt sleepy when he mentioned this, and he smiled: "I followed the captain that day, and the killing was so dark that the sky was dark and the sun and the moon were dark. I
Let me tell you, I will never have any luck following my brother."
"Here we go again..." The pilots wailed for a while. Their captain was good at everything, but he could never change his habit of being a talkative, especially the fact that he shot down two Japanese planes last year. He had been bragging about it for more than half a year. The pilots
My ears are calloused.
"Captain Pan, you'd better not mention your character. You'll be damned if I believe you." The helpless voice of the wingman sounded on the channel.
"rustle……"
Along with the sound of a burst of electricity, a familiar voice came from everyone's earphones, "Attention, the third red team, we found twelve Japanese planes flying towards you from the southwest, at an altitude of 3,000, estimated to be five
We will meet your side in a few minutes, and the command headquarters orders you to eliminate them immediately."
The internal channel in the patrol team was silent for a while. It took a while before the wingman said sincerely: "Captain Pan, you will be my brother from now on. I will follow you closely when you patrol."
"So are we!" A rare voice said in unison came from the patrol channel.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get to work quickly. Everyone, follow me." Apart from being a bit of a talker, Pan Rongbao is still a very reliable person.
"clear!"
As the order was issued, no one was joking anymore.
Everyone knows that war is no joke. If you dare not treat him with care, the God of Death will treat you with care.
When Pan Rongbao led eight P-47s to arrive near the Japanese aircraft under the guidance of ground radar, they could clearly see twelve Type 99 heavy explosive aircraft flying in formation toward Liantai County under the clouds.
"Captain, it's a Japanese bomber. They don't have an escort plane." The pilot's voice of surprise came from the headset.
"Haha... great, this little devil is here to give us military exploits!" Seeing this, there was a cheer in the public channel.
"Captain... please give me the order. I guarantee that I will kill all these stupid guys in five minutes at most!"
"Okay, everyone, listen to my order..." Pan Rongbao shouted without thinking, and was about to order the whole team to attack, but for some reason he stopped when he spoke, "Wait a moment."
"What's wrong Captain?"
"Don't you think it's a little strange? Why would the little devils only send these bombers here? Don't they know that they are just sending them to die?"
"yes……"
Hearing what Pan Rongbao said, the pilots also woke up from their frenzy.
"I'm afraid this is a trap."
Pan Rongbao immediately realized this. He thought for a while and ordered: "0035 0036, you immediately lower your altitude and conduct a probing attack on the enemy aircraft.
But remember, if you find something wrong, retreat immediately, do you understand?"
"clear!"
The two pilots who received the order did not hesitate at all. They pushed the throttle with their left hands, and the Pratt & Whitney R-2800 18-cylinder turbocharged air-cooled radial engine roared. The 5-ton P-47 fighter jet flew at 600
It plunged straight down from the sky at a speed of kilometers per hour.
In less than half a minute, two P-47s volleyed down from the sky, and eight 12.7mm Browning aviation machine guns sprayed out fury at the same time. Under the dense rain of bullets, a Type 99 heavy explosive aircraft was destroyed.
Thick smoke billowed out from the beating, and it fell toward the ground like a weight.
The Japanese fleet that was suddenly attacked quickly fired back. The machine guns located at the tail and top of the aircraft kept firing at the two P-47 fighters that were following. Not only that, the entire bomber formation suddenly changed.
The direction is flying toward the southeast on the right. In this situation, it seems like he is trying to escape no matter what.
The two P-47s ordered to attack naturally would not let go of such an opportunity and hurriedly followed up to attack. However, facing the fleet of aircraft in a dense formation to jointly counterattack, the firepower of the two aircraft was really weak, and they were unable to do anything for a while.
A hedgehog-like formation of Japanese aircraft.
Looking at the Japanese aircraft formations that were fighting and retreating, Pan Rongbao couldn't help but began to doubt his judgment just now. He was confused that this was really not a Japanese trap.
"Captain Pan...if you don't come down to help, the Japs will run away!" The voice of pilot No. 0035 rang in the headset.
Pan Rongbao now had two options in front of him, one was to let the Japanese bomber formation leave, the other was to join the attack and keep the Japanese bombing formation behind.
After a short period of thinking, the latter gained the upper hand, and Pan Rongbao quickly issued the order for the entire team to attack.
However, Pan Rongbao did not realize that after the fighting and withdrawal just now, the Japanese aircraft formation was getting farther and farther away from Liantai County, and this distance also exceeded the detection range of the radar deployed around Liantai County.
When Pan Rongbao led the formation to catch up with the Japanese aircraft formation and was about to attack, a dense group of black spots suddenly appeared in the sky not far away and rushed towards them.
"No, there's an ambush, it's a trap!"
"Retreat quickly!"
"Captain, we can't evacuate, there are Japanese planes ahead!"
"Report to the tower immediately and call for reinforcements... call for reinforcements..."
