Reflecting the morning glow, more than 200 Soviet and Russian fighters took off from five or six well-defended airfields and pounced on the positions of the vanguard army.

During the period of confrontation between the two armies, the ground forces were only a small-scale tentative beating. But the fighting in the air never stopped. Although the superiority of the Chinese Air Force was already understood, the complete abandonment of the power of the sky was unbearable for the proud Soviet Russians.

Every day, a large number of young and slightly clumsy Soviet and Russian flight cadets take the actual combat in the sky as a class, and exchange their lives for the experience and honor of surviving. Those old planes are falling a dozen or even dozens every day, and the surviving pilots have slowly become elites after withstanding the test of the battlefield.

But their opponents produce a greater number of air elites.

It is not for nothing that many of the aces of Germany in history were produced on the Eastern Front. The rookie level of Soviet and Russian pilots at the beginning also became a whetstone for the vanguard air force.

When the pilot of the vanguard army entered the battlefield, he was already a qualified pilot first, and the rest was only to be tempered by the flames of war. Perhaps they will also be under the desperate rush of the Soviet Russian pilots, and the fighter plane will fall, but the cover of their companions and timely rescue will make them also release the shadow of defeat from the white umbrella flowers in the sky, and re-embark on the road of trump card on the new mount.

Thousands of pilots in China took turns to practice on the northern front, recording their first star in this free sky.

In the training center of the main base, pilots are still the main force of training, and one-third of the places belong to the flight system, but more is biased towards the training of ground crew.

The ground support system of the Vanguard Army has always been inseparable from the air command center and repair shop. Previously, in order to fully defend the sky of Huaxia, Meng Xiang's riots mainly focused on the pilots, and the rest were handed over to the base to deal with. But as the human threat weakened, and the existing air force of the vanguard army was enough to suppress the early Russian air force, Meng Xiang began to consider getting rid of the influence of the base and cultivating his own ground crew.

The various restrictions of the base have always left a shadow in Meng Xiang's heart, and it is always unsafe to rely on external forces. Meng Xiang also didn't want that when he had an accident, the defense force of the entire Huaxia would suddenly return to before liberation. Therefore, although the Pioneer Army has given great support to the Air Force, so far the regular pilots of the Pioneer Army and the flight cadets in flight academies and flying clubs have just exceeded 10,000, but the bench is still much thinner than that of Su Mei and others.

However, to Meng Xiang's relief, the ground service system of the vanguard army has begun to improve. Not only ground handling, but also aircraft manufacturing and design have begun to form a core industry in Chang'an. Even the private air transport system has begun to rise.

In contrast, the existing pilots of the Vanguard Army have more opportunities to practice and develop to a qualitative aspect.

Air combat is a knight's battle, and many times, it is not won by quantity. Even the Soviet Russia in World War II, the ace team that defeated Germany relied on the many aces and elite pilots who got up from the field of life and death, in addition to the elite teams of Britain and the United States.

Of course, Meng Xiang will not give up the echelon construction of pilots and avoid the mistake of insufficient succession of excellent pilots of the Germans. There is enough fuel and enough base to build planes for rookie pilots to toss, and there is also the world's largest population wealth in China to select talented pilots, which is unmatched by other countries.

When fighting against the pilot, the pilots are also the elites who have been honed, although the aircraft can be poor, but with technology, Meng Xiang does not dare to underestimate it. However, those rookies in Soviet Russia who have just flown for dozens of hours can let the novices of the Vanguard Air Force feel at ease and boldly come to practice.

From the beginning of the air battle in Waiméng to the present, the air force of the Vanguard Army has a record of more than 1,600 aircraft. Many new elites and aces stood out, and the records of several novices even exceeded the 23 of Liu Cuigang, the first ace who was guiding rookies at the Air Force Academy at this time.

……

"Wowhaha, it's a fat sheep again! Brethren, take to the skies! When he received the direction of the Soviet-Russian war from the radar station, Hu Wen, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but be excited.

His air force replaced Le Yiqin's air team, which was in the limelight outside Méng, and came to the border battlefield of Su Méng, and in a short period of time, it achieved outstanding results.

"Cai Yidao, you kid listen well, this time the planes are enough, why do you have to take another 5 planes, win the title of Liu Zhesheng's first boy, and leave the name of the first ace in our 7th Air Force!" After issuing a series of orders, Hu Wen couldn't help but shout through the radio.

Due to Hu Wen's excellent air command skills, he was quickly promoted to the position of commander of the air force. But it also shattered his dream of completing 20 Super Aces, stopping at the number of 15. He can only hope for those aces under him.

In continuous air operations, there are already two super ace pilots in the 7th Air Force, which has not been established for a long time, among which Cai Yidao has a brilliant record of 26 aircraft, which is a little short of Liu Zhesheng's number of 30 first aces, but Liu Zhesheng has already adjusted with Le Yiqin's air force returning to China, and in the face of another round of Soviet and Russian rookie pilots, it is not impossible to catch or even surpass his record.

But it took Cai Yidao for most of the day to send back a stereotypical response of "um" on the radio, which made Hu Wen completely lose his temper.

For Cai Yidao, who was silent and like a piece of wood, it was hard to imagine that the silver-white Thunderbolt fighter he was piloting was described by the reporter in Pioneer Radio as a lightning-like knife light, slashing across the air. In the Battle of Darkhan Guard, as soon as he appeared, he shot down nine Soviet and Russian fighters in one go, shocking the whole army, and in Meng Xiang's mouth, with the help of many fragments in later martial arts novels, the nickname of Cai Yidao emerged.

Hu Wen's depression only lasted for a while, and Cai opened the record with a knife, like nine days of thunder, and killed an enemy plane at once.

"Haha, there are 27 planes, and there are four more, keep working harder, and I'll introduce you to a beautiful girlfriend when I come back!" While Hu Wen issued a series of air commands, he did not forget to "encourage" Cai Yidao, and his dancing hands almost couldn't help but touch the female second lieutenant's intelligence staff officer in the empty finger department.

Fortunately, all this stayed at 0.01 cm under the eyes of Second Lieutenant Lin.

"Colonel, a battle report has been sent from the front, and a new fighter plane of the Soviets and Russians has been discovered!" Lin Shaoying interrupted Hu Wen's habit of bringing back from the United States after sneezing dryly.

"New fighters?" Hu Wen straightened his sitting posture, looked at the information handed over by Lin Shaoying seriously, and then breathed a sigh of relief and said disdainfully, "That's it, Zi just came up with some genuine goods." ”

……

Mirochkin rushed to the front in a Lag-3.

Even though the Western Front was tight, Moscow still mobilized more than 500 new fighters on the Eastern Front. More than 300 of them were sent to intercept the air transport routes of the Huaxia, and the other more than 200 were sent to the Su Méng front. Among the more than 200 fighters in the first battle at this time, except for more than 50 Yi-16s to cover up, most of the others were new fighters.

But as soon as he flew over the trench area full of artillery fire, a large number of silver arrows swooped down from the clouds in the air. As if there was a sun on it, the brilliant light broke through the clouds, and dozens of silver-white fighters swooped down from an altitude of more than 7,000 meters, throwing the chain of fire directly towards the cautious Soviet and Russian aircraft formation.

Before some rookies in the team could react, several thick clouds of smoke had already been dragged up in the sky, and the sound of the engine detonation when the plane fell attracted the probes of the soldiers in the ground trenches to watch, and the fireball of a plane disintegrating in the air was not inferior to the rising sun in the sky, becoming a new focus on the battlefield.

Mirochkin dodged the first dive, but was stared at by a Thunderbolt pulled up from below as he spread out of formation.

The reflection of the aluminum metal behind him made Mirochin envious when he was constantly dodging.

The wooden structure of the Lag-3 is much less safe than the all-metal fuselage of the Thunderbolt behind it, and the wood chips scattered everywhere overhead are exactly what happens when a Lag-3 is hit. But even with a wooden fuselage, the backward engine level of Soviet Russia made it impossible for the Klimov M-105 liquid-cooled engine to meet the higher requirements of the Lager-3.

Struggling to control the trembling plane, Mirochkin felt like he had reached his maximum speed of 575 kilometers per hour as he dived downward, but the lightning behind him was still biting behind him, and it was getting closer and closer. Naturally, he didn't know that although the thunderbolt was slightly inferior at low altitude, it was a good hand at using a dive to kill with one hit.

Misjudgment gave Mirochkin no chance, and he didn't even have time to use the two-meter machine gun and the 20-millimeter cannon of the Lager-3 before he was strangled to pieces by the fire net of the eight-meter machine gun behind him.

"Well, 28!" Cai Yidao just lightly spit out the numbers, and continued to pull up the air to look for the next target.

……

More than 30 kilometers away from them, a group of cadets who graduated from the Kaginsky Air Force Academy were also hurriedly pushed into the battlefield by Moscow. The accompanying MiG-3 became their best war horse. Also handed over to them were Yak-292 fighters from the N.1 plant in Saratov.

This is already the best produced fighter that Soviet Russia can come up with at this time, and it may be able to compete with the German BF-109F, but this time their opponents are Raiden and Hellcat. RO！。
