Le Yiqin drove the fighter plane, a difficult roll, dodged a series of bullets from a Japanese fighter, and then, slammed the control stick, the fighter jumped into the air lightly, the whole set of difficult actions, like the same cloud and water, smooth and natural, can fly the Soviet-style fighter with average maneuverability to this level, in the entire independent division air force, more than 1,400 fighter pilots, by no means more than 30 or 40 people.

Le Yiqin's actions were obviously beyond the expectations of this Japanese pilot, his zero battle rushed to the front at once, from a chaser, to a chased, seeing the long plane being attacked by a little devil fighter, Lieutenant Geng Degang, Le Yiqin's wingman pilot, quit "Isn't this slapping me in the face?" When Hainan Island was bombed yesterday, the commander said that he was not sure, and the little devil was taking eye medicine? ”

The long plane was attacked, it was his own failure to fulfill his responsibility, Geng Degang pushed the control stick violently, the fighter plane suddenly accelerated, after the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Military Industry Bureau modified engine performance, not blown, instantly got rid of a Japanese fighter chasing after him, the sight set the Japanese fighter in front of him, fiercely pressed the shooting button, three tongues of fire, the Japanese fighter into the sky flying fragments.

Le Yiqin's fighter plane had just changed to level flight, and he saw this scene, grinned, and said secretly: "This kid is fierce enough, it's a good material" At the same time, he also saw that the Japanese fighter who was chasing Geng Degang's fighter had already entered the effective range, and he secretly screamed badly, this stunned fighter who patronized the little devil and forgot that he still had a tail behind him.

It's too late to remind, kick the rudder and step on the accelerator. The plane turned 180 degrees and buckled upside down, firing a series of bullets, which this Japanese fighter plane thought was successful, and never expected. The pilot of China will fly out such a difficult maneuver, the bullet briskly drilled into his fuselage, flew the cockpit canopy, burst the fuel tank with a "boom", the plane disintegrated in the air, and a fireball with fragments. It is like a blooming ritual huā.

After Le Yiqin changed to level flight again, Geng Degang was out of danger, flying on his left side, "I said Degang." You kid didn't grow up there, don't care about the front and back, next time it's like this, I can change the wingman, but. For your sake, it's a little devil fighter, forget it this time, and don't rob my business in the future. Do you hear that? ”

Geng Degang hurriedly agreed, "Yes." Later, Commander. You fight the rest, I'll fight again" He knew that the commander was not really angry, but reminding himself that his heart was still immersed in the joy of shooting down a Japanese fighter plane, and Le Yiqin was angry, what is this called?

Le Yiqin took his wingman and left the air battle area, and the initiative on the battlefield was already in his own hands, and all the fighters of the Japanese 17th Air Force were intercepted in the airspace of this area, as for approaching the fleet, it was delusional, but the ferocity and superb flying skills of the Japanese fighter pilots also left a deep impression on his face.

This was the largest loss in a single air battle since the formation of the Southern Flying Group, and although it was a record of more than four to one, the casualties were beyond his imagination, and this was a tough opponent, and he must take this opportunity to beat the little devil to a great loss.

"Second echelon, report your location?" Le Yiqin asked: "Report to the commander, I joined the fighter group, I am already close to the air combat area, and in ten minutes, I can be put into battle" The echelon commander replied.

Le Yiqin gritted his teeth and said: "Order, your echelon doesn't have to join the current air battle, ambush the little devil fighter on the way back, it's still the old way of fighting, understand?" The echelon commander Dale said: "Commander, this trick is yin enough, the little devil has suffered many losses, can he still be fooled?" ”

Le Yiqin said: "So much nonsense from that, carry out the order, this group of little devils, you haven't fought with us, you just wait to eat meat!" This is Le Yiqin's temporary change of tactics, the air battle lasted for more than 50 minutes, and the Japanese fighters were shot down more than 100 planes, seeing that they couldn't support it, there was no need to fight a rout, ambush halfway, come ruthlessly, and beat the little devil to vomit blood at once.

He asked, "Commander of the airspace fleet over the Sulawesi Sea, how much time do you have left to engage the enemy?" "Report to the commander, the radar shows that in another fifteen minutes, you can fight with the little devil's carrier-based aircraft" Le Yiqin said: "Okay, after the fight, your aircraft group will entangle the little devil's carrier-based aircraft, and my echelon will go to reinforce and strive to leave the little devil's carrier-based aircraft in the airspace of Sulawesi." ”

The Japanese 17th Air Force began to retreat, and no matter how fierce and warlike the Japanese pilots were, they could not withstand the result of losing more than 100 fighters in an air battle.

After the Japanese aircraft group broke away from the air combat area, Le Yiqin did not order to catch up, in front, there was a big killing move waiting for these miscellaneous pieces, he looked at the fuel gauge, rushed to the air combat area of the front air group, and could also carry out more than 20 minutes of air fighting, the first echelon was all pressed up, the advantage was not ordinarily large, and it could drown more than 100 carrier-based aircraft of little devils!

He gave an order, "Order, the first echelon immediately rushed to the airspace of Sulawesi to gather and destroy the little devil carrier-based aircraft group" Le Yiqin was not worried about the heavy damage to the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group, his only regret was that the fuel of the aircraft group was not enough, otherwise, he would chase after the tail of the little devil carrier-based aircraft and kill the Japanese fleet at once.

The air battle in the waters of Sulawesi was fought one-sided from the very beginning, and the second echelon came out of the aircraft group, more than 160 fighters, in strict accordance with the orders of the commander Le Yiqin, mainly to entangle the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and the pilots of the independent division had experience in fighting with the Japanese carrier-based aircraft and knew how to fight this battle.

However, the carrier-based aircraft pilots of the Japanese First Fleet fought with the pilots of the independent division for the first time, and they could not figure out the number of routes, saying that the pilots of the China were timid and did not dare to fight with the naval aviation of the Imperial Japan.

Turning around and fighting again, the Chinese fighters ran away again, entangled for more than ten minutes, and the first echelon aircraft group commanded by Le Yiqin, more than 300 fighters arrived, and surrounded the Japanese carrier-based aircraft at once, more than three to one force comparison, Le Yiqin gave full play to the principle of fighting dogs regardless of the number of people, and commanded the aircraft group to beat wildly.

After more than 10 minutes of fighting, more than 90 Japanese carrier-based planes could never return to the deck of the aircraft carrier of the First Fleet, and Vice Admiral Nishihiranoki, commander of the First Fleet, who received an urgent report, was shocked, and the air battle began only 20 minutes ago, and the carrier-based aircraft of the First Fleet lost about one-third.

I'm afraid that before I see the shadow of the Shina fleet, on the deck of my aircraft carrier, I can only fall seabirds, Nishihiranoki has a gloomy face, and ordered: "Immediately order the carrier-based aircraft formation to return and report the battle situation to His Excellency the Chief of the General Staff." ”

Nishihiranoki did this, which was tantamount to disobeying military orders, the supreme commander of the fleet was no longer him, but His Royal Highness Prince Zaihito, the chief of the general staff, who was far away in the comfortable and spacious office of the General Staff in Tokyo, but Nishihiranoki couldn't manage so much, he couldn't watch his carrier-based aircraft jump into the fire pit, the opponent had hundreds of fighters, and he was not arrogant to the point of ignorance.

Prince Zaihito, who was far away in Tokyo, received two pieces of bad news, one was sent by the commander of the 17th Air Force, Major General Yamashima, "Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, the 17th Air Force, on the way back, was ambushed by the Shina aircraft group and suffered heavy losses, plus the losses in the previous air battle, the air force lost a total of 237 fighters, more than two-thirds. ”

The other was sent by the commander of the First Fleet, Vice Admiral Nishihiranoki: "Your Excellency Chief of the General Staff, the First Fleet's carrier-based aircraft group, on the way to the order to attack the China fleet, was intercepted by the China fighter group over the waters of Sulawesi, the number of enemy fighters is more than three times that of us, and the fleet has lost 96 carrier-based aircraft, more than one-half. ”

Looking at these two telegrams, Prince Zaihito's mouth was bitter, and in addition, the previous telegram from the commander of the Malay Peninsula Garrison Division, Yamazaki Nakasa, the three telegrams, were all reported as the news of failure, and Zairen knew what it meant.

The plan to annihilate the devil's fleet of the branch was a complete failure, the two air assault forces were defeated and almost completely annihilated, the shore artillery on land was blown up by the bombers of the independent division, and they didn't even have the ability to fight back, Zairen's head was cracked like a sharp pain, and he sighed deeply in his heart, "The Third Fleet is finished!" ”

However, there is a question that makes Zairen very puzzled, the 17th Air Force and the First Fleet both reported encountering a large group of independent divisions, and it was still a large group of planes that ambushed the 17th Air Force halfway, and that the devil Tang Qiuli of the branch had how many fighters could fight three air battles at the same time? Jae-in didn't dare to think about it, and the more he thought about it, the more panicked he became.

But he was not willing to give up like this, he still had the last trump card in his hand, Zairen called in to accompany the officer, and ordered: "In my name, order the fighters and bombers of the Sixth Air Force stationed in Okinawa to all be dispatched and rush to the airspace of the Strait of Malacca, and be sure to deal heavy damage to the fleet of the Independent Division."

Zairen was insidious and cunning enough, and the timing of his choice was not unappropriate, and the independent divisional aircraft group that had fought two consecutive air battles would inevitably return home, and in the airspace of the Strait of Malacca, there would be no danger factor threatening the Sixth Air Force.

At the same time, Jae-in must save this face, this time he used the power of the army, navy and air force to encircle and annihilate the fleet of the independent division, and he served as the supreme commander, with several titles on his head, but he achieved such a result, so that His Royal Highness, who has always regarded himself very highly, how can he swallow this breath, how can he lose such face?! ~！
