Liang Jian: Lao Li, I'm really not a military expert

Chapter 227 My record is still a big goose egg, it's really embarrassing! 3-character chapter

Ichiro Takahashi was very upset at this moment. He didn't expect that not only did he fail to rescue Taro Sonoki, but he also put himself in danger. He took a deep breath, calmed down his anxious mood, and began to fight the opponent in front of him. He wanted to fight for his own honor!

"Sonoki, you must fly east immediately to meet up with the second squad. Be careful during the flight and find a way to climb up. Only in this way can you get rid of the blockade of China's anti-aircraft firepower!" Takahashi Ichiro instructed.

"Captain, I can't climb at all now. I'm blocked in an airspace of about 200 meters in radius. I don't even dare to make large-scale maneuvers. Just now, Kawasaki-kun was hit by China's anti-aircraft firepower when he dived, which caused him to disintegrate in the air!" Taro Sonoki replied with fear on his face.

Ichiro Takahashi suppressed his inner anger. As a large number of previous pilots had been withdrawn, the ones under him were basically rookie pilots who had only flown for more than 100 hours. It was impossible to expect them to perform difficult flying maneuvers.

"Sonoki, I will find a way to attract the Chinese army's anti-aircraft firepower again, and find a way to open a gap for you. After the gap is opened, you must fly out immediately!" Takahashi Ichiro gave the order in a serious tone.

"Hi! Captain, I understand!" Taro Sonoki replied excitedly.

Ichiro Takahashi controlled the nose of the plane and adjusted the route. He decided to have a century showdown with Lin Zhenhua. He wanted to use his superb flying skills to teach Lin Zhenhua a good lesson!

Lin Zhenhua also kept a close eye on Takahashi Ichiro. He found that this man's flying skills were very superb, even better than Kawasaki Ichiro. He had locked onto Takahashi Ichiro several times, but failed to achieve any results. What Lin Zhenhua didn't know was that Takahashi Ichiro and Kawasaki Ichiro were the only pillars of the Takahashi Squadron. The other seven were just rookie pilots.

"Xiao Zhongyuan, we have run into a tough guy this time. I am keeping a close eye on the pilot of this Zero fighter. I estimate that he is most likely the captain of the Japanese fighter squadron. We can tell from his flying skills!"

"The moment of the real decisive battle has begun, and the Japanese bombers are ready to move! Li Gousheng, immediately notify all artillery positions to prepare for the decisive battle and continue to increase the output of anti-aircraft firepower. We must not give the Japanese a chance to dive down!"

As Lin Zhenhua issued the order for the decisive battle, each anti-aircraft gun position increased its firepower output again, which made it even more difficult for Takahashi's squadron trapped in the anti-aircraft firearms circle. Relying on his superb driving skills, Squadron Leader Takahashi avoided Lin Zhenhua's lock three times.

Li Yunlong was also not idle. He personally operated the anti-aircraft machine gun to fire into the air. Through the strategy of step-by-step nibbling, he locked a Zero fighter of the Japanese within a 100-meter airspace.

"Hey, you damned little Japanese, I'll see where you can run this time. I'm going to beat you down today, otherwise where will I put my face? I've already made achievements with the college students, but I'm still a nobody here. It's fucking embarrassing to tell others about it, so you little Japanese, just get down here obediently!"

With a loud bang, the Zero fighter that was surrounded by Li Yunlong first had its tail broken off, and then was hit by an anti-aircraft machine gun on its fuel tank, causing a huge explosion in the air. The anti-aircraft machine gun company commanded by Li Yunlong also achieved results.

"Haha, I never thought that I could shoot down a Zero fighter of the Japs just after I complained a few times! Brothers, help me, shoot down the other Zero fighter of the Japs in the air defense circle. These Japs pilots are not as skilled as the pilots we fought before. They might be a bunch of rookies. As long as we force these rookie pilots and make them impatient, we will have a real chance to shoot them down!"

"Xiao Ma, immediately inform the political commissar and the college students of this intelligence, and don't forget to inform Sanwazi!"

Zhao Gang and Lin Zhenhua received the news from Li Yunlong and smiles appeared on their faces. After fighting for such a long time, they also discovered the weakness of Gaoqiao Squadron, otherwise they would not have been able to trap Gaoqiao Squadron in the anti-aircraft fire circle and prevent it from escaping.

"These damned Japs, they look down on us so much that they only sent a bunch of rookie pilots over! Notify all anti-aircraft gun positions to keep their composure and keep compressing the flying space of the Japs pilots. I want to see how long these damned Japs can endure. As long as they become impatient, we will have a chance to keep them all!"

Facts have proved that the strategy adopted by Lin Zhenhua was very correct. After nearly 50 minutes of air combat, the rookie pilots of Takahashi Squadron had reached their endurance limit. Even with Ichiro Takahashi by their side, constantly comforting them, it was difficult to suppress their anxiety.

Takahashi Ichiro secretly thought that something was wrong. He immediately shouted on the transponder: "Attention, all planes. I have just contacted Colonel Yoshimoto. The bomber group will come to help soon. As long as they drop bombs from high altitude, the Chinese anti-aircraft firepower will be breached. Be patient for a while, we will be out of danger soon!"

Takahashi Ichiro's words finally calmed down the anxious Japanese rookie pilots. Takahashi Ichiro was not lying. In order to ensure that Takahashi's squadron would not suffer greater losses, he had to temporarily give up his sense of honor. He had sent a telegram to Colonel Yoshimoto for help.

After receiving Ichiro Takahashi's telegram for help, Colonel Yoshimoto did not laugh at him. Sometimes he was helpless with the rookie pilots under his command. Until now, he still couldn't understand why a large number of elite pilots were withdrawn and some flight trainees were left for them to train flying skills on the battlefield. This crazy move by the headquarters was completely irresponsible.

In fact, this matter is really related to Lin Zhenhua. During the last transaction, Lin Zhenhua deliberately gave the Third Reich a very important reminder that it is necessary to attach importance to the training of reserve pilots. On the battlefield, pilots are also consumables. If they are not replenished, the air supremacy that has been hard-won will be lost, and even the aircraft and others will be in an embarrassing situation. Even if they have more weapons and equipment, it will be of no avail. After all, weapons and equipment cannot fight by themselves, and they always need people to control them!

Of course, Lin Zhenhua had set more than one trap. He wanted to divert the Japanese's attention away from the country. Only in this way could he develop with peace of mind, produce more weapons and equipment, and drive the Japanese out as soon as possible!

"Attention, all aircraft. Captain Takahashi has sent a reminder, asking us to drop bombs at an altitude of 6,000 meters. This will ensure our safety to the greatest extent! In order to disrupt the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower to the greatest extent, we will advance from the east, west, and north. Prepare in three minutes. Each squadron will launch a bombing operation against the enemy according to the combat mission!"

The bomber brigade led by Colonel Yoshimoto began to complete the turn at high altitude. They climbed to an altitude of 6,000 meters and rushed towards the air defense position of the independent regiment!

In addition to keeping a close eye on Ichiro Takahashi, Lin Zhenhua also kept his eyes on the Japanese bomber brigade in the distance. When he saw the Japanese bombers climbing upwards, he knew that the real moment of decisive battle had come and it was time to activate the second combat plan.

"Li Gousheng, pass the order immediately and order all air defense positions to activate the second combat plan!"

With the issuance of Lin Zhenhua's latest order, the Third Company of the Air Defense Battalion, which had been on high alert for a long time, immediately joined the battlefield. They helped the First and Second Companies of the Air Defense Battalion to continue to hold on to the enemy planes, and drew out 24 Bofors 88mm anti-aircraft guns from them, which were specifically responsible for attacking bombers at high altitudes in the air defense positions.

Even the artillery battalion's four 105 anti-aircraft guns joined the battlefield at this time, with their muzzles raised high, aimed at the direction of the incoming bomber brigade, and began to fire high-explosive shells.

Li Yunlong and Zhao Gang also pulled up the reserve troops. They had to ensure the current density of anti-aircraft firepower. In order to avoid the situation where some anti-aircraft positions were destroyed during the bombing of Japanese bombers, resulting in the weakening of firepower, they specially reserved a reserve team, which came in handy now.

As the density of anti-aircraft fire increased, Sonoki Taro felt more and more exhausted, especially after Lin Zhenhua temporarily let Takahashi Ichiro go and stared at him closely, he was in danger. Just now, the glass of his cockpit was shattered, and he was directly exposed to the sky. He felt difficulty breathing and was forced to slow down the speed of the fighter.

"Haha, you damned little Japanese, where can you run this time? I broke your cockpit glass, but you didn't get hurt that badly. Maybe you're feeling pretty cool now. I think I did a good deed!"

The muzzle of Lin Zhenhua's quadruple 20mm anti-aircraft gun once again locked onto the fighter plane under Taro Sonoki's seat. This time he directly set the lead value to six, stepped hard on the pedal, and hundreds of shells were directly fired by him.

Taro Sonoki dodged in panic, but it was of no avail. The propeller in front of the plane was shot off, and the fragments on it flew past his scalp, making him break out in a cold sweat. Now the entire plane had lost its lift and was gliding downwards. This time he really became a sitting duck.

The soldiers of the 88st Anti-aircraft Company would certainly not miss such a good opportunity. They concentrated half of their anti-aircraft firepower and fiercely bombarded the fighter plane under Taro Sonoki. An mm shell directly hit the middle of the Zero fighter. A loud explosion was heard, and a Japanese Zero fighter was shot down.

"Xiao Zhongyuan, we have defeated another Japanese fighter plane. Now we have shot down three. It is not easy to achieve such a result. No matter how you count it, we have made a fortune today!"

Before Lin Zhenhua could continue to go down, he found a squadron of bombers flying towards his position, and shouted loudly: "Three Type 6000 bombers are attacking, the altitude is , advance to six, adjust to the position, and fire immediately!"
