Flying for a long time is boring, and it gets even worse when the sun sets and the whole land gradually descends into darkness.

Tie Linfei didn't have this feeling, as a pilot, it was the first time to fly this route, although there was a theodolite to help distinguish the course, he still didn't dare to be careless.

Tie Linfei's age is not very old, and he was able to become the commander of the Air Force of the School Soldiers, and many people thought that it was because of Ouyang Yun's relationship. China has been a humane society since ancient times, and there seems to be nothing wrong with people thinking this way. And it turns out that Ouyang Yun's vision is good. Tie Linfei is younger, but he is very competent for his current position.

"Brothers, you are about to enter the territory of Henan, you are not allowed to doze off!" Tie Linfei said in the chatter.

With such a large-scale warplane voyage and such a behemoth as an air fortress, it is impossible to completely avoid its ears and eyes even if the Japanese army occupies nearly half of China's rivers and mountains. It was a matter of time before it was discovered, and with the strength of the Japanese air forces, even if it was discovered, the threat that could be posed to the air fortress would not be too much.

Coming from Hankou, Tie Linfei fixed the altitude at about 10,000 meters, which is beyond the reach of most Japanese aircraft. However, considering that during the Army Day, the Japanese army had new fighters to join, and the air limit of that kind of fighter was already able to threaten the air fortress, so he did not dare to be careless at all.

"Commander, don't worry, we're all with our eyes wide open. Brothers, shall we vote? How many people want the little devils to intercept it? It was Xue Changkong who was piloting the No. 122 fighter who said this.

Xue Changkong is the commander of the First Air Division. In order to successfully complete this mission, the Cadet Army Air Force can be described as elite.

Wang Hai also participated in this operation, he served as the captain of the aircraft, piloting a number 105 Flying Fortress. Wang Hai is Xue Changkong's deputy, and he has always been the only one who looks forward, and at this time he should be harmonious: "I vote for it - if there is no little devil to come up and do it, this mission will be too monotonous." Brothers, do you say yes or no! ”

Xue Changkong's words lifted everyone's spirits, and several people who were still a little drowsy also raised their spirits at this time. Everyone spoke one after another, and the channel became lively.

Seeing this, Tie Linfei smiled: "These bunnies! He turned off the microphone and said to the co-pilot next to him: "They don't count, our fuel is tight, if we are really stuck by devils, dare to fight with others?" I'm not afraid that I won't be able to complete the task, but I'm afraid that when I come back, I won't have enough fuel, and then there will be a big problem. Hehe, if this really happens, the commander-in-chief won't drag me to shoot me. ”

The co-pilot also smiled and said, "Senior Commander Xue should have said it casually - Commander, look!" The co-pilot's eyes have been staring at the radar display, at this time, there are suddenly several more black dots on the lower right side of the display, more and more black dots, when Tie Linfei looked over, there were already more than thirty black dots.

"It's a little devil!" Tie Linfei made a judgment in an instant, then quickly opened the microphone and shouted: "Xue Changkong, close your crow's mouth for me!" Listen to me, the little devils came to intercept it, the direction is northeast, and the number is about thirty. Hurry up, pull the fighter to the highest for me, and speed up! ”

The LZ-I and LZ-II participating in this mission included three command aircraft equipped with radar early warning systems. The captains of the other two fighters soon found out about this situation, and Xue Changkong shouted: ", Lao Tzu is really a crow's mouth." Commander, I'm sorry! ”

"Don't talk nonsense, and cheer me up. The Commander-in-Chief handed me thirteen aerial forts and asked me to bring them back intact, and I don't want to be cheeky enough to beg the Commander-in-Chief to let him send the wolf-toothed men to the devils to fish you out. ”

During the air raid on Ningbo Airport, the 3rd Air Force Division suffered heavy losses because of the plot of the little devils, and not only the division commander was killed in battle, but about 20 people were captured. In order to save them, Ouyang Yun scattered almost all of the baby wolf teeth for the first time. And those rescued pilots, although many of them were experienced and had excellent combat performance, but this operation was all excluded. After the list of expeditions was decided, someone went to Ouyang Yun specifically for this matter, but the reply they got made them a little crying and laughing. Ouyang Yun's reply was this: This mission is very dangerous, considering that you have been captured and have already had a psychological shadow, from the perspective of your mental health, this mission will not be arranged to save you.

The official attitude of the Cadet Corps is not to discriminate against students who have had the experience of being captured, but even so, many people who have had this experience still have the feeling of not being able to hold their heads up in front of others. Being captured is already a shame, and therefore there will be a loss of some opportunities for missions, which no one wants to see.

Including Xue Changkong, everyone immediately stopped squeaking, and they controlled the fighter wholeheartedly, pulling the fighter up, and accelerating at the same time, wanting to get out of the dangerous airspace as soon as possible.

The Japanese plane that suddenly appeared took off from Lanzhou Airport and belonged to a certain fighter wing of the Third Army of the North China Air Corps. In charge of commanding this interception mission was Wing Commander Hirota Yushi Nakasa. This time, the Japanese army's interception operation was authorized by Shunroku Hatake, and was under the unified command of Kobayashi Chunchun, commander of the Nanjing Air Corps. When Kobayashi's phone call came from thousands of miles away, Hirota Yuzhi, who was having dinner, immediately pushed off the lunch box in front of him, and immediately rushed to the airport with the fighter pilots of the wing.

Since its establishment, the Cadet Army Air Force has repeatedly been in the limelight, and now it has become a serious problem for the Japanese. And in the minds of these devil pilots, shooting down a fighter plane of the Cadet Army has become a great honor and even the highest pursuit. Compared with the Cadet Army, Japan still has a clear advantage in military production capacity. For example, not long after the Type 99 fighter was finalized, several major factories of the Japanese army have actually installed more than 200 planes, of which about 150 are land-based types that belong to the army. The Hirota Wing just received 12 fighters of this type last month, and after getting familiar with the performance of this new type of fighter, what Hirota is most looking forward to is being able to fight the Cadet Air Force.

"We, the warriors of the air forces of the Great Japanese Empire, are going to surprise His Majesty the Emperor with our brilliant achievements today - we Japanese are no worse than the Shina people, as long as there are fighters that can match us, we are still the most agile eagles in the Asian sky!" Hirota Yuzhi not only has excellent piloting skills, but also can speak with a mouth, and under his instigation, the devil air force under his command became excited one by one as if they had eaten **, and they all wanted to beat up an enemy plane in the next battle.

As soon as the Japanese aircraft group took off, the air defense alarm on the ground sounded, and more than a dozen pillars of light from searchlights with a power of about 30,000 watts illuminated the sky in the northern suburbs of Lanzhou.

The 30,000-watt searchlight has a range of about 8,000 meters, but it is still not enough to deal with the air fortress. As for the more than 30 Japanese planes that took off, because of air limitations, only the 12 Type 99s that could really pose a threat to the Flying Fortress were the 12 planes.

"Fuck, it's a pity that Lao Tzu is loading supplies instead of bombs this time, otherwise, he will have to blow up his little devil and turn over on his back alone!" A cadet soldier pilot scolded in the chatter.

Tie Linfei stared at the display screen tightly, but he didn't have time to complain about this uselessness.

More than 30 black dots were quickly divided into two groups, one of which continued to approach, and was already less than ten kilometers away from the group. Judging from their flight attitudes, such fighters should be able to reach their flight altitude, and it seems that a fierce battle is inevitable. If it was in normal times, when he encountered this situation, Tie Linfei would only be happy, and he would not worry at all. Not to mention that the air fortress is equipped with a sufficient number of weapons and can protect against incoming enemy planes from all directions, even its armor is not something that ordinary devil fighters can be equipped with machine guns. The reason why he is worried is only because of the fuel problem, the change of flight attitude consumes the most fuel, and he is worried that once he is dragged here by the little devil for more than a quarter of an hour, then the fuel will be tight on the next return trip. Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the speed advantage of his fighter plane to fly directly over, but the Japanese planes that came up seemed to know the performance of the air fortress in the Dao Road, and the direction they chose to attack just blocked the way, so it was impossible to escape without a fight. The best way now is to leave a few to block the enemy, which is better than all the fighters being dragged - after thinking about it, Tie Linfei came up with a countermeasure, he said in the conversation: "Brothers, the situation is not very optimistic, the Japanese army has dispatched new fighters, and now, I need three fighters to stay to block the enemy." Who wants to stay? Xue Changkong, Chang Qingyun, the two of you must stay down. ”

Even if the remaining fighters can get rid of the entanglement of the Japanese planes unharmed, they will lose a short connection with the large army. At that time, it will be necessary to have fighter planes to take on the pilot mission. Xue Changkong and Chang Qingyun were piloting the other two air fortresses equipped with radar warning systems, so one of them had to stay.

"Commander, I'll stay!" Xue Changkong immediately picked up. The commander of the 1st Air Force Division is very aggressive because his division is equipped with fighter planes. After he signed up, others signed up one after another, and soon, after Tie Linfei's selection, the blocking team was formed.

"Changkong, if you can, you can fight, you can't fight and resolutely avoid it, do you understand what I mean?"

"Commander, don't worry, I'm not a fool!"

"Good. I give you authorization, if it is delayed for too long, you can choose to return to Guangzhou directly! ”

"Commander, you are underestimating my old Xue!"

"Take care, brothers!"
