As soon as Zhang Yunfei finished conveying the order, a phone on the desk of the headquarters rang with a pleasant ringtone, and an operational staff officer walked forward quickly, grabbed the phone on the table, and said in a loud voice: "This is the headquarters of the group army, where are you?" ”

The combat staff officer hummed into the microphone a few times, and then handed the microphone to Zhang Yunfei respectfully, "Chief, Gao Zhihang, the captain of the flight team, call the phone." ”

At this time, Gao Zhihang had just returned to Datong Airport, and as soon as he got off the plane, he couldn't wait to pick up the phone of the flight team and call Zhang Yunfei, ready to report the good news to Zhang Yunfei. Just now, it can be said that it was the first actual combat since the establishment of the flight brigade, and it was fought very beautifully, and Gao Zhihang was very happy.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei put the earpiece to his ear, Gao Zhihang's joyful voice came from the phone, "Commander-in-chief, I have good news to you, just now when we were on a reconnaissance mission south of the Jining area, we encountered a group of little devils, and through the cooperation of ground artillery fire, we completely annihilated the group of little devils,......"

As a matter of fact, the general situation of the air battle had already been sent by the enemy's front command just now, giving a brief explanation, but this time Gao Zhihang specially called and gave a detailed description, and Zhang Yunfei was very happy to hear it.

As soon as Zhang Yunfei's phone was hung up, Chief of Staff Zuo looked at Zhang Yunfei with a smile on his face and said, "Commander-in-Chief, did you have another good news from the flight brigade just now?" ”

Zhang Yunfei smiled and said to Chief of Staff Zuo: "Gao Zhihang said on the phone just now that this time, a group of more than a dozen bombers and eight fighters that the little devils took off from Beiping were all shot down by us. Gao Zhihang's three fighters, with the cooperation of our ground artillery fire, shot down a total of two fighters and seven bombers, and the rest of the planes were also shot down by our ground artillery fire. ”

When he was the deputy chief of general staff of the Eighth Route Army in the past, not to mention shooting down a group of little devils, even several planes of little devils have never been shot down, and every time they were bombed and strafed by the planes of the little devils, he was helpless, this time, when he heard that a group of little devils was annihilated all at once, Chief of Staff Zuo could be said to be both happy and excited.

Compared with the mood of Chief of Staff Zuo, although Zhang Yunfei was also happy, he was much calmer, and he had shot down a lot of planes with little devils before, and this time he shot down more than 20 planes with little devils, Zhang Yunfei already felt that it was normal.

Zhang Yunfei looked at his watch and found that it would take at least two or three hours before it got dark, so Zhang Yunfei's mind moved again, now the group of the Little Devil North China Front Army has just been completely annihilated, and the Little Devil will definitely not send out planes again today, if Datong's plane is sent out to participate in the pursuit and killing of the fleeing Little Devil Cavalry, it will be a clever move.

At present, there are nearly 10 fighters, more than a dozen bombers, and three or four transport planes at Datong Airport, and the pilots have been training for several months, and many of the pilots have been flying for one or two hundred hours, and they are completely ready to engage in actual combat.

If these planes are used, on the one hand, they can kill and injure a large number of the little devil's cavalry, and on the other hand, they can also detect the escape route and direction of the little devil.

The chief of staff on the left next to him saw Zhang Yunfei pondering, and said happily: "Commander-in-chief, have you thought of any wonderful chess again?" ”

Zhang Yunfei nodded to the chief of staff of the left, and then said happily: "Comrade Qingquan, I really thought of a good move, you see, it's still early, I plan to lift all the fighters and bombers at our Datong airport into the air to chase and kill the little devils who escaped." ”

Wonderful, Chief of Staff Zuo couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the commander-in-chief is really clever, the little devil is fleeing for his life on the grassland, without any cover, and there is nowhere to hide under the plane, and he will completely become a live target for the plane.

Thinking of the happy place, the smile on Chief of Staff Zuo's face couldn't help but get stronger.

Zhang Yunfei walked to the telephone, picked up the phone in person, connected the phone at Datong Airport, and said with a full heart: "Please find Gao Zhihang to answer the phone, I am Zhang Yunfei." ”

The little soldier of the communication soldier who answered the phone at Datong Airport heard the person on the phone call his captain by name, and was about to ask who the other party was, but the three words "Zhang Yunfei" were like a thunderbolt, which made the little soldier a little dazed, and after a few seconds, he controlled his fluttering heart, calmed his nervous mood a little, and then said to Gao Zhihang: "Captain, commander-in-chief call." ”

Gao Zhihang saw Zhang Yunfei calling in person, and faintly felt that there might be another important task, so he happily walked to the telephone, took the phone in the hand of the little soldier, and said happily: "Commander-in-chief, hello!" I'm Gao Zhihang. ”

Seeing Gao Zhihang's happy voice, Zhang Yunfei said solemnly: "Zhihang, give your flight team an important task, your fighters and bombers, immediately fill up the fuel, fill up the ammunition, and give me the pursuit and attack the little devil who escaped on the grassland, the First Cavalry Brigade." ”

"Yes, we'll take off right away." Gao Zhihang said happily.

In less than 20 minutes, all the fighters and bombers at Datong Airport took off and flew north.

After flying north for less than half an hour, Gao Zhihang had already seen off-road vehicles, tanks, armored vehicles, and galloping war horses galloping on the ground, and below was a large force composed of cavalry divisions and armored regiments.

Gao Zhihang piloted the plane and led everyone to continue flying, hoping to find the traces of the little devil in front, and sure enough, after flying for a few minutes, everyone saw a large number of little devil cavalry on the grassland, and the little devil cavalry was running desperately.

"Everyone lower their flight altitude and prepare to attack the little devil cavalry." Gao Zhihang shouted into his wireless telephone microphone, and took the lead in diving down, flying towards the densest place of the little devil cavalry.

The altitude of the plane piloted by Gao Zhihang is getting lower and lower, 5,000 meters, 4,000 meters, 3,000 meters ......, and the little devils who escaped on the ground found the Chinese aircraft group in the sky at this time, and slapped their war horses desperately, hoping to escape as soon as possible.

The brigade commander of the little devil, hearing the roar in the sky, looked up at the sky, and saw that more than a dozen planes in the sky were diving in.

When the altitude dropped to a few hundred meters, Gao Zhihang made a dive towards the little devil, and the two large-caliber machine guns on the fighter plane sprayed flames, and a metal storm swept through the little devil's cavalry, and immediately twenty or thirty little devils were knocked off their horses.

The rest of the fighters, like Gao Zhihang's fighters, flew over the heads of the little devils, and where the planes flew, a large number of little devils fell. Everyone's fighter plane made a beautiful maneuver, and swooped over the heads of the little devils, and many little devils fell to the ground.

As a large number of little devils were killed by fighters, many little devils were angry, holding their own Type 38 rifles or crooked machine guns, and fired back at the plane, but this time the little devils retreated in a hurry, did not carry effective air defense heavy weapons, and only a few crooked machine guns could not hit the plane in the sky.

The range of the crooked machine gun is also limited, and it may pose a certain threat to aircraft within a few hundred meters of altitude, but for aircraft a few hundred meters away, it is a bit beyond the reach of the whip. Moreover, the fighters' fighters are very fast, and it is basically difficult to be hit.

After Gao Zhihang made a dive and eliminated dozens of little devil cavalry, he saw that the dozen or so bombers began to drop bombs on the head of the little devils, this time, the bombers did not bring heavy aerial bombs, but only carried a large number of medium bombs weighing dozens of kilograms, which fell between the little devils' cavalry like rain.

Because there is no interference from the little devil plane, the bomber on the bomber can calmly drop the bomb, so the hit rate is quite high, and a bomb can basically kill several little devil cavalry.

The bombers bombed indiscriminately, the fighters fired wildly, the little devils felt that their end was coming, many little devils seemed very panicked and frightened, and several little devils, even in the panic and fear, did not grasp the reins for a while, were thrown off the back of the frightened war horse, and were trampled to death by the little devil war horse galloping behind.

After Gao Zhihang dived a few times, he finally saw the little devil who was galloping, the commander of the First Cavalry Brigade and the brigade commander Ying Mori Xiao, the little devil's major general uniform was too conspicuous, and there were several little devils next to Ying Sen Xiao, and among the little devils in yellow military uniforms, they were extremely dazzling.

Seeing the big fish, Gao Zhihang was extremely happy, thinking that if he could eliminate Ying Sen Xiao, Zhang Yunfei would be very happy to know, and he would be very proud and proud, it has been so long since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, and he has never eliminated the major general of the little devil, Gao Zhihang thought happily in his heart.

So Gao Zhihang drove his own plane, swooped over at Ying Sen Xiao, and saw that the height was about the same, Gao Zhihang began to shoot at Ying Sen Xiao, a large number of machine gun bullets hit around Ying Sen Xiao, one of the little devils, three middle Zuo, and more than a dozen ordinary little devils, were killed by Gao Zhihang in this round of strafing. But Takashi Takamori was not hit.

Although Takashi Mori was not hit this time, he was also scared to death, and he passed by death, Takashi Sentaka was so frightened that his face was covered with cold sweat, until he saw Gao Zhihang's plane going away, he felt a little better.

Gao Zhihang saw that the major general who did not kill the little devil this time, set up the plane again, and flew over again with a beautiful maneuver, and when Takashi Mori saw the plane just now go and return, he was so frightened that he was going to die, and his back was covered with cold sweat.

This time, Gao Zhihang made careful adjustments, aiming at Eagle Mori Xiao is a burst of dive strafing, this time Eagle Sen Xiao did not have such good luck, was hit by several large-caliber machine gun bullets, was beaten to a blur of flesh and blood, miserable, after planting the war horse, but also by the horse galloping behind several feet.
