Gao Zhihang took three flight squadrons with a total of 36 planes to the designated coordinates to rendezvous first, and soon Gao Zhihang arrived at the designated airspace with his own group, at this time the Soviet light bombers had not yet arrived in the designated airspace, Gao Zhihang had no choice but to hover there, but fortunately, the Soviet light bomber group was only two minutes late. As soon as the two groups of planes turned, Gao Zhihang let his fleet be distributed around the light bomber group to cover, one squadron on the left and one on the left and one squadron above the entire group. Although there are few Chinese pilots, their quality is very good, and many of them are pilots who have returned from studying abroad, and they are the real treasures of the national army.

……

Matsui Shigen has always felt restless these days, but carefully searched the depths of his memory, and found that there was something wrong, so Matsui Shigen has always slept badly these days, and today Matsui Shigen is also a busy day, so he slept very late, and he just fell asleep, and the phone at the bedside of Matsui Shigen rang non-stop, and the "bell ......" rang for about two minutes before Matsui Shigen woke up, and Matsui Shigen quickly got up and picked up the bedside phone.

Before Matsui Shigen started, he said eagerly:

"Report to the commander and find that all the national army planes at Nanjing Airport have been dispatched, about eighty, and the purpose is unknown."

"Well, understood, immediately notify the air team to send three brigades to eliminate them, and we must not let the planes of the national army sneak attack our airport."

"Hey!"

Although today's one-day six-way onslaught did not break through the defense line of the national army, judging from the results reported by various units, on this day alone, they annihilated 100,000 people of the national army, squeezed out 50 percent of the water, and annihilated 50,000 national troops, while their own side lost less than 10,000 people.

Matsui Ishone's analysis at this time showed that he was still staying at the National Army planes just trying to sneak attack his airfield in order to improve morale, or to reduce the number of aircraft sorties on his side tomorrow. Matsui's analysis remains at this tactical level, and tragedy cannot be avoided.

Why did Matsui Ishine receive the information so quickly, in fact, both China and Japan have spies on the side of each other's airports, and there is no need to sneak into the airport at all, but around the airport, as soon as the other side's plane takes off, the other side's spy personnel will find out and inform their own side, but they don't know the purpose of these takeoffs.

Matsui Ishine had just put down his phone when the phone rang ......again, "Is there something going on?" Matsui Shigen thought secretly, and hurriedly picked up the phone again:

"Report to the sir, sixty planes have taken off from the airport in the eastern suburbs of Nanjing, and the target is unknown."

"Got it, keep watching."

According to previous intelligence, there are more than 50 planes left in the national army that can fight, and this time the Nationalist Government sent 140 planes at one time, which can only be the Soviet Union's air force to aid China, and the Soviet air force to aid China has about 200 planes, which shows that the national government has made a big move tonight, and their goal is definitely to attack the airport.

Matsui Ishone figured out that the planes of the national military government were bound for his airport, but he still did not link the air raid with the assault of the Eagle Legion. Thinking of this, Matsui Shigen hurriedly picked up the phone and said:

"Pick up the commander of the Third Air Force on duty Tadaji."

"Wait a minute, Commander."

Soon the operator connected Matsui Ishone's phone to the house of Oga Tadaji, in fact, Oga Tadaji did not sleep either, and the intelligence system had already reported that the Chinese side had dispatched a large number of planes, and their purpose was unknown, and they called to inquire about the spies hidden in the top echelons of the Nationalist Government, but there was no reply, and it seems that they did not know about this operation. He could only wait for orders from the Shanghai Dispatch Army Command.

Soon Zhihe Tadaji received the first order, and dispatched three groups of planes to destroy 80 planes on the Chinese side, but this mission had no route, no coordinates, and even no information on the target that the enemy was going to sneak attack. After much thought, he decided to send three destroyer squadrons to fly toward the Nanjing airport, thinking that as long as the Chinese planes did not make a detour, his plane would always meet them on the way.

The idea of the Chinese side is still good, but the hundreds of planes on the Chinese side have taken off from different airfields, and in order to allow the planes to basically reach different air attack targets at the same time, they have basically made some changes in the route and the air attack target; the closer they are to the airfield on the front line, the farther the air attack target will be, and if they cannot reach the target at 5:30 a.m., they must make a detour to approach the air attack target. Therefore, it is difficult for Tadashi Oga Tadaji's fleet to detect the Chinese plane group in a straight line, and besides, it is now night, and it is impossible to observe how far away it is on an aircraft without radar.

This delay took almost 10 minutes, and the farthest distance from Nanjing to Shanghai was only more than 200 kilometers, and the plane took about 20 minutes, which means that the Chinese plane still had 10 minutes to reach the target airspace, and the crucial 10 minutes of life and death depended on whether the old devil Matsui Shigen could understand it.

Tadaji Shiga picked up the phone and said first:

"I'm Tadaji Iga, who is Your Excellency?"

"I'm Matsui Ishone."

"Hey! Commander, what do you have for you? ”

"Well, I feel that the Chinese side is a little abnormal today, and now I find that there are one hundred and forty planes taking off, what do you think of the abnormal reaction of the Chinese side?"

He was overjoyed that his direct superior, General Matsui Ishone, commander-in-chief of the Shanghai Dispatch Army, directly asked him for his opinion, and what an honorable thing it was, and he hurriedly expressed his judgment:

"Commander, I think the Chinese side is retaliation, yes, it is revenge, today during the day our heroic army hit the national army on the outer defense line of Nanjing, our Third Air Force also dispatched more than 300 sorties, and carried out a fierce bombardment of the Chinese position, and the results achieved are incomparably brilliant, if you give me two more days, even our air force can blow up the Chinese defense line, so they want to sneak attack our airport, and the headquarters will definitely not let the despicable Chinese air force succeed, The headquarters then sent two groups of destroyers into the air to search for the Chinese planes and wipe them all out in the air. ”

"Well, so be it!"
