Chapter 721: Air Force Battle

B17 Flying Fortress bomber 721st Air Force against

One night passed quickly.

As the sky gradually brightened in Guangdong Province, the Japanese airport outside Yangcheng also began to get busy.

One after another, the Japanese Zero fighters appeared on the runway.

"Gentlemen, we must destroy the Chinese fighter group in today's battle and seize air supremacy around Goose City.

The bomber pilots tried their best to find the heavy artillery position in Ye Qingshan's hands.

Once found, destroy it.

We, the Seventh Flying Group, want to let Ye Qingshan know that we are here and will not allow him to act recklessly."

Major General Lengshui Junmu, commander of the Japanese Seventh Flying Regiment, was giving his final speeches to teams of Japanese pilots before they went into battle.

"Hi!"

A group of Japanese pilots nodded excitedly.

Immediately, these Japanese pilots boarded their fighter planes and began to glide and take off on the airport runway.

Not long after, a series of Japanese fighter planes formed a formation and flew towards Echeng in the east.

With so many Japanese fighter planes, it is impossible to hide.

Therefore, Ning Yongchen's intelligence agents, who had been lurking around Yangcheng, immediately discovered the Japanese planes taking off.

"The enemy's fleet of planes took off.

With so many fighter planes, the main force of the Japanese flying regiment must have been dispatched."

"Go and send a telegram to the Director.

The main force of the Japanese flying regiment has been dispatched! "

Soon, the telegrams from these undercover agents were conveyed by Ning Yongchen to Ye Qingshan who was still at Chaozhou Airport.

"Okay, I guessed right.

Once Dingziling was lost, the Japanese's Echeng defense line was in danger of being breached again.

As expected, that old devil Tanaka Kyuichi sent the main force of his flying regiment here. "

Ye Qingshan was extremely happy after receiving the telegram from Ning Yongchen and learning the news.

All his previous arrangements were intended to lure out the main force of the Japanese flying regiment.

Now, the goal has finally been achieved.

In this way, the veterans who sacrificed their lives to capture Dingziling were valuable.

“Xiao Wusheng, send someone to inform Leng Tiancheng.

They can go now.”

"Then send a telegram to Lashio Airport.

Have Meng Jifei and his men set off immediately and reach Echeng within four hours."

Ye Qingshan said to the adjutant Xiao Wusheng beside him.

“Yes, Commander.

I'll go right away. "

Xiao Wusheng knew the matter was urgent and immediately turned around to convey the order.

Soon, the assembly whistle sounded outside the airport.

Leng Tiancheng and a group of pilots from the aviation team completed all pre-war preparations just as daybreak.

Just waiting for Ye Qingshan's order.

As soon as the messenger's order arrived, they immediately rushed to the airport runway.

"Brothers, I have something to tell you."

Before departure, Leng Tiancheng gathered all the pilots of the aviation team together.

He also told the pilots what Ye Qingshan had told him last night, that their air force would face the main force of the Japanese flying regiment today.

Suddenly, the scene fell into silence.

"Brothers, today's battle is very important.

We have to face the enemy Zero fighters, which are at least twice as many as ours, and fight them."

Leng Tiancheng said in a deep voice.

“Twice as many enemy planes, twice as many enemy planes.

Afraid of a ball.

Dry! "

"That's right. Isn't it for this day that we practice so hard?"

"You're right. Anyone who is afraid of the Japanese is a coward."

"Hahaha, there are no cowards or wimps in our aviation team.

Brothers, on this damn road to the underworld, walk slower.

Let’s go together to see the King of Hell.

Then, we can fight the Japanese together."

"Okay, then it's settled."

The silence among the aviation team pilots lasted only a moment, and then a group of young men, with an average age of less than 30 years old, began to smile and joke in a generous manner.

Their mentality is almost the same as Leng Tiancheng's.

Leng Tiancheng laughed when he saw this scene and shouted, "You guys, be quiet."

Everyone quieted down and looked at Leng Tiancheng.

“I haven’t finished talking yet.

The commander said that this battle allowed us to delay the Japanese main fighter group for at least four hours.

Four hours later, our captain and the brothers who went to fight in Burma will fly back to support us.

So, just hold on to it, damn it.

Don't fucking think about dying. If you die, how can you complete the mission?

This battle is not about how many Japanese fighter planes you shoot down.

Instead, I ask you to fight the enemy fighters and hold out as long as possible."

"Haha, that's a must.

A man can't say no, but he can't be too quick either.

Whoever wants to be the fastest will be laughed at by us for a whole year."

A young pilot joked.

"Hahaha!"

This immediately caused everyone to laugh.

"Shut up!"

Leng Tiancheng scolded and continued, “Remember this.

Even if the fighter plane is shot down, you must parachute out in time.

The ground search and rescue team will do their best to rescue you.

In short, do your best to save your lives and come back alive to me."

Leng Tiancheng shouted loudly.

"Ah, the captain and the others will fly back to support us?

real or fake?

Isn’t Myanmar very far away from us?

Can you fly back?"

Leng Tiancheng's words were like a stone thrown into the water, causing huge waves.

“That’s right, Myanmar is so far away, how could the captain and his men possibly fly back?

Deputy Captain, stop joking."

People didn't quite believe it.

"You guys have shit in your heads.

With the fighter jets we have, it is definitely not enough.

But don't forget who our commander is.

The commander had already replaced Captain Meng's team with more advanced fighter jets.

It is enough for them to fly directly from Myanmar to our place to join the war.”

"When we take off, maybe Captain Meng and the others will have already gathered at the airport in Myanmar."

Leng Tiancheng's words made the pilots of the aviation team excited again.

In this battle, they were just bait.

But they are not going to die. As long as they delay enough time, they will wait for Meng Jifei to lead his team to come for their support.

They could turn defeat into victory and wipe out the Japanese Zero fighter group in one fell swoop.

Thinking about it makes me excited.

Let the pilots of the aviation team cheer up again.

"Okay, stop whispering.

Get ready to board your flight now.

If you want to fly a new fighter, you must make sure you come back alive.

Then we can open it.”

"Get on board, let's go!"

Leng Tiancheng had said everything that needed to be said and explained the task clearly, so there was no time to waste.

Order all pilots to board immediately.

Soon, one after another P40 fighter planes took off from the runway of Chaozhou Airport to engage in battle against the Japanese Zero fighter group.

Although, Leng Tiancheng and the others knew that Meng Jifei would lead a team to support them in three or four hours.

However, facing the Japanese Zero fighters that outnumbered them by more than twice their number, how could their 40 P fighters survive these three or four hours?

It is also a huge test for them.
