Chapter 267 Who in the World Does Not Share the Same Views (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!)
Mountain city, Huangshan villa.
"Darling, we should go to the air-raid shelter."
"I really don't know what the air defense headquarters is for. It has not been able to guarantee the safety of our airspace for three whole years."
"If you ask me, we should replace that pig. He is no longer the lucky general of the past. Whether in terms of command level or management level, he is simply useless!"
Hearing the words of Renjianzhichu, a trace of displeasure flashed across the bald man's face.
After all, the other party is an old man who started with him. Although his performance at this stage is indeed getting worse day by day, he must not hurt the hearts of old subordinates because of some "small things".
During special periods, people's hearts are scattered, which will only make the team more difficult to lead.
After taking a look at the air force medal on his wife's collar, the chairman shook his head helplessly.
Since the establishment of the committee to coordinate the education, training and equipment procurement of the air force, the days of the troops have been getting worse day by day.
The Kong and Song families firmly control the financial power of Guojian. The air force did not have many aircraft available for combat, and now it has directly become an "empty" army.
There are less than 100 aircraft that can be deployed, and even if the air defense command has great capabilities, it cannot defend the airspace of the mountain city.
"Stop talking, no one can do better in the current situation."
"As long as we hold on for a while, when the ugly country is free, our air force can be reborn. But you have to promise me one thing, you have to be a little more restrained in terms of finances, just take one third."
"At present, the only thing we need to do is to preserve our strength and train as many pilots as possible."
After the two chatted, they went to the air-raid shelter under the escort of a group of guards. At this time, an accident was happening at the Bai Ze City Airport.
"The superior's order is to prohibit attacking and require our squadron to preserve its strength."
"What do you think about the upcoming bombing by the Japanese army? You may as well say it. Everyone here is a brother, and you can speak freely about what you want to say."
"As long as the majority agree to fight, we will do it! If the air defense headquarters investigates, I will bear the consequences of disobeying orders alone!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's face showed surprise and excitement, and the scene was excited.
The pilots who stayed at the Bai Ze City Airport were basically from other factions. As for those young masters of the direct lineage, they had already fled to the rear in fear.
None of the soldiers was a coward, and they had long been dissatisfied with General Pig's orders.
"Fuck! The worst that can happen is that people die and birds fly up to the sky!"
"Every day, we keep shouting about preserving our strength! If we lose Jinling and Shancheng, will we retreat to Xikang? We are not the Red Army, and we don't have the ability to make a long march on foot."
"Since our brigade has inherited the word Zhihang, we must hold up the sky for the people. As the Chinese Air Force, how can we let the enemy's planes fly over our heads!"
Compared to the impulsive young man, the deputy brigade leader is obviously more stable and mature.
According to the news from the air defense headquarters, the Japanese army dispatched a large number of Type 96 land attack aircraft this time. Groups of bombers also have certain air combat capabilities at high altitudes, and it is difficult to intercept them with their strength.
What's more, the performance gap between the two sides' fighters is huge. After the appearance of the Zero fighter, the enemy's naval aviation has an overwhelming advantage on the battlefield.
Once they are bitten by the most advanced fighters today, the whole battle can basically be declared a failure.
After making up his mind, the deputy captain looked at everyone seriously and said:
"I agree to fight, but our squadron must come up with a way to deal with the Zero fighter."
"One-on-one, the I-16 is definitely not the enemy's opponent, not to mention the double-winged I-15. But we can take advantage of the Japanese's characteristic of fighting alone and create opportunities for group fights."
"Strive for two-plane cooperation and fight to the death to kill those damn Zero fighters."
The pilots of the Zhihang Squadron are different from those direct young masters who are just messing around. They are soldiers who have fought side by side with the Aid China Flying Team.
Each of them has at least three years of combat experience and has mastered more scientific and advanced dogfighting tactics.
The tactics proposed by the deputy captain set a good start for everyone. The soldiers expressed their opinions and listed their ideas one by one.
Looking at the team members who were discussing fiercely, Zheng Shaoyu, the captain of the Zhihang Squadron, clapped his hands and signaled everyone to focus their attention on him.
"We have to force the air defense command to send out the anti-aircraft battalion to support the battlefield."
"Now there are only 21 fighters left in the entire Shancheng. I don't believe that the chairman can watch us die."
"We are fighting at home, and we must show the momentum of the Chinese Air Force! And we will have a group of special allies this time, and their combat effectiveness will definitely not be weaker than the aid-China flight team."
That's right. As the highest commander who directly commanded the air force to fight against Japan over Shancheng, Zheng Shaoyu was actually a nail buried in the border area.
Due to the increasing reconnaissance and bombing of the Guofu Air Force, it posed a greater threat to the troops at that time. In addition, the base was eager to infiltrate Guofu to obtain relevant intelligence.
So Zheng Shaoyu's fellow countrymen developed him into their own people through letters.
During the days when he was the head of the Shancheng Air Force, he secretly led many team members to turn left. Otherwise, with the rank of a mere Air Force major, he could not mobilize the troops to disobey orders.
Currently, in the entire mountain city, only the ideological crusaders, the army logistics masters and the popular honorary leaders know his special identity.
In order to ensure the safety of the Air Force 1st Division in this operation, the three responsible persons informed Zheng Shaoyu in advance.
After hearing that there would be special allies to help, the soldiers who knew the inside story showed excitement. Even those who were not aware of the situation burst out with strong fighting spirit because of their full trust in their captain.
"Okay! Let's go!"
"Kill those devils!"
"Show the enemy what the foggy eagle is!"
······
The 96 Land Attack, painted with a blood-red disc identification mark, arrived at the outskirts of the mountain city amid the earth-shaking sound waves, and the entire formation lined up at an altitude of 4,700 meters to enter the bombing route.
Looking down from the sky, the Yuzhou Peninsula is like a leaf floating on the water.
"Everyone! Get ready for battle!"
"All we have today are Type 98 Type 6 incendiary bombs! Don't worry about the ships on the Yangtze River, maximize the damage of each bomb!"
"Remember today's goal, we will burn down the entire mountain city."
After receiving the order from the highest commander, each medium-sized attack aircraft opened the bomb bay together and started dropping bombs as soon as they entered the sky over the city.
When the Japanese naval aviation formation was just formed, the Candied Air Force fighters on standby at an altitude of 5,500 meters started to act directly.
The moment he saw the enemy fleet, Zheng Shaoyu did not hesitate at all and led his team to launch a dive attack, and their enemy was the 16 escorting Zero fighters.
"Don't worry about those bombers first! Use our advantages to kill the escort first."
"Then the first squadron led the enemy to the anti-aircraft artillery position! The second squadron took the opportunity to climb to a higher altitude to deal with those attack planes!"
"Execute the order!"
Faced with the sudden attack, the escorting Zero fighters did not lose their composure and responded with super maneuverability and fast climbing speed.
But the Zhihang Squadron is not just for nothing. With their energy advantage and BZ tactics, they used the tacit cooperation between I-16s to kill a Zero fighter at the moment the battle began.
After all, the current air battle still follows the rule that the one who finds the target first wins, the one who attacks first wins, and the one who has the speed and height advantage wins.
After a successful attack, the soldiers immediately pushed the gas and fled.
This is not the first time for everyone to fight with the Zero fighter. The bloody experience and lessons in the past have told the soldiers of the entire squadron that no matter what the Zero fighter is doing, they must always maintain high speed.
It’s a pity that the I-15 is a biplane fighter with backward performance after all, with a maximum speed of only 350 kilometers per hour.
Even if flying at low altitude, the Zero fighter can catch up with the fruit fighter that is maneuvering in front with its extremely outstanding performance advantage.
In order to save their lives and to provide the anti-aircraft artillery battalion with an opportunity to attack, the first squadron began to dive and escape when they were about to be bitten.
However, due to the slow acceleration of the I-15, even if they can get rid of it, they will have to take a beating for a while, which can only be carried by the structure of the Polikarpov Design Bureau.
Seeing another fighter plane of the first squadron destroyed, Zheng Shaoyu in the sky could not help but feel a little angry.
"These damn Zero fighters! Why are they always so flexible!"
"If I can drive the rumored Spitfire or Hurricane fighter, I can definitely kill you bastards!"
But at this time he had no effective countermeasures. Even as an ace pilot, he could only look for opportunities to counterattack while dodging.
······
Mountain City, Air Defense Command.
"What did you say? Repeat it to me again!"
Facing the scolding of General Pig, the signalman shrank his neck in fear.
"Yes!"
"Under the leadership of Major Zheng Shaoyu, the remaining 21 aircraft of the Fourth Squadron all took off and are now fighting with the enemy's Zero fighters over the city!"
"Please instruct!"
After confirming this incredible news, General Pig was furious and even spoke in dialect.
In his impression, Zheng Shaoyu was a capable and obedient soldier. Unexpectedly, such an honest man dared to openly disobey the orders of his superiors.
The worst thing is that Baldy had emphasized to him that he must preserve the air force just ten minutes ago.
"Quick! Notify the four anti-aircraft artillery battalions! They must cover the Fourth Battalion! Send a telegram to the Chairman! Tell him that Zheng Shaoyu attacked without authorization!"
"Damn the air force, if you want to die, why drag me down with you!"
