Black smoke rolled in the second port. Explosions came one after another, shrapnel fell from the sky. The stirred water columns could be seen everywhere on the quiet sea. Above the high and low water columns, one fighter plane after another flew past the sea, searching for their respective targets. Once a suitable target was found, the pilots flying the plane would open fire without hesitation with all the weapons on the plane, even completely ignoring the bombs that were still falling from the sky.

As the commander of the Combat Power Wing and as a fighter pilot, Meng Fei was flying a single-engine "Huangshang," fighter jet combat cruised over the bay in Lushun. Just a minute ago, he had just shot down a Japanese Navy "Farman" seaplane in the downtown area of ​​Lushun, increasing his aerial record to two.

While excited, Meng Fei couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The Japanese air force was so weak that for a proud senior air force officer, these Japanese planes were not enough for him.

Aerial reconnaissance before the war showed that the Japanese army built a field airport fifteen kilometers north of Lushun. There was a Japanese fleet stationed there, including fighter jets and reconnaissance aircraft. For the Chinese Air Force Task Force, it was a ready-made target. Unfortunately, during this attack mission, the fighter jets and light bomber brigades of the Navy Aviation Force were the fighter jets and light bomber brigades of the Navy Aviation Force. As the commander of the fighter jet wing during this operation, Meng Fei's mission was to protect the bomber troops in the military port combat zone and cover the bomber troops to attack the Japanese fleet in the military port.

At this time, Meng Fei and his fighter jet troops were like a group of red-eyed raptors, running around in the airspace near the military port, hoping to find a suitable target of attack. Although these air force soldiers were determined to compete with the Japanese warships on the berth, they had to circle around the warships due to the lack of suitable attack weapons and occasionally used the aircraft's aviation machine guns to fire some point shots on the Japanese sailors on the deck of the warship. If the Japanese sailors operated the machine guns to shoot into the sky, then they would often immediately attract revenge from several Chinese fighter jets.

According to pre-war intelligence analysis, the Japanese arsenal has indeed manufactured some special anti-aircraft guns for the 6th Army and Navy of the Japanese Army, but it seems that they are not equipped with the Japanese army at the moment. The Japanese army's air defense weapons seem to have only machine guns, which obviously makes the Chinese air force soldiers a little unscrupulous. Compared with those Japanese soldiers who were in a panic and engaged in air defense operations, Chinese fighter pilots can better grasp the initiative in combat. The condescending height advantage also allows the "Hornets" to realize the most valuable ground, sea targets, the Japanese troops gathered on the docks, and the Japanese water running everywhere on the deck of the warship.

Soldiers, those Japanese sailors who jumped into the sea in panic, and those naval officers returning from the dock to command the warships on single boards or traffic boats are valuable targets. The "Hornets" unceremoniously poured bullets to these targets, and the arrogance of fighter pilots even aroused the jealousy of reconnaissance pilots. As a result, several reconnaissance aircraft also joined in the ravage of Japanese sailors. Moreover, the shooting range of machine gunners in the back seat of reconnaissance aircraft is more flexible, compared with fighter aircraft, reconnaissance aircraft fires more calmly at military port targets. Machine gunners can shoot from the left side of the aircraft to the right side, without even the need for the aircraft to climb and dive continuously.

Although looking around, the entire military port is full of Chinese aircraft flying around, which seems a bit messy. But this is just the view of an outsider. In fact, although most pilots are a bit unrestrained, they still strictly abide by the most basic air combat rules, that is, formation flight and formation combat. Two aircraft are one combat unit, one is mainly responsible for attack and one wingman, mainly responsible for covering the attacking aircraft, cooperating with each other and supporting each other, perfectly interpreting the air tactical principles under high-tech conditions.

Meng Fei also had a wingman, but five minutes ago, the wingman's motivation had some minor malfunctions; he could not raise the level and had to withdraw from the battle and was ordered to return to the south, so Meng Fei can only fight alone.

Although he was worried about whether the wingman could return to the Daqin Island Logistics Base, Meng Fei's main focus was on the attack mission. He just shot down a Japanese seaplane alone, and now he was in a high spirit of fighting, so he returned to the military port. After a low altitude cruise on the sea, he quickly climbed the plane to a height of 500 meters. He monitored the nearby airspace condescendingly to see if any Japanese planes appeared and continued his air hunting.

Work pays off. After a few minutes of cruise at high altitude, Meng Fei appeared to fly a few small black dots from the north. Although the distance was still far, it was impossible to see whether it was his own air assault force who had returned from the attack. However, in a cautious manner, Meng Fei decided to fly the plane over and check it. At the same time, there were several fighter jets and a reconnaissance aircraft that were targeting. They saw Meng Fei's "Hornets" swaying violently on their wings, so they quickly moved closer and flew towards the northern airspace with the highest commander of the fighter army.

Meng Fei led this temporarily pieced together interceptor team to fly high into the northern airspace, and climbed the altitude from 500 meters to 1,000 meters. While they were flying the plane to climb to a high altitude, the unidentified aircraft coming from the north also climbed to a high altitude. Although they still couldn't see the other party's model clearly, through the other party's reaction, Meng Fei basically determined the other party's identity.

"Enemy planes appear and prepare for the battle."

Meng Fei controlled the "Hornet". He swayed the wings a few times, then clamped the joystick with his legs and raised his arms high. Then he quickly laid his arms flat, then raised them again, and then lay them flat. He repeatedly led the two planes to signal. Seeing the command of the wing leader, the other "Hornets" quickly dispersed and occupied their respective positions in combat formation. At the same time, the reconnaissance aircraft withdrew from the queue a little unwillingly, and one side slipped and turned the head of the plane, preparing to return to the "fighting warning to those planes that were joking.

Meng Fei turned his head and counted. There were five "Hornets" following behind his fighter plane. The closest "Hornet" obviously lost its wingman. So he consciously began to act as the wingman of the wingman, rushing forward side by side with the chief plane, leaving Meng Fei only two fuselages behind.

Seeing the planes coming from the north getting closer, Meng Fei raised his hand, held the swimsuit, then stretched out his left hand, and raised his thumbs up to the wingman pilot. The wingman's mind leader also raised his thumbs up.

At this time, the "Hornets. They had seen the other party's model clearly. They were all legal "Wazan" fighter, one of the main models equipped by the Japanese 6th Army. The layout of this fighter is relatively special. Its propeller is not installed at the nose, but at the tail of the aircraft, which allows the machine gunners in the front seat of the aircraft to fire freely without being affected by the propeller. However, it is precisely because of this strange layout that the maneuverability of this two-seat fighter is not good, and due to the special tail frame structure, the degree of this fighter is far less than that of the "Hornets".

Therefore, when the Hornets had climbed to a height of 1,000 meters, those "Wazan" fighters had just climbed to a height of 700 meters, one thousand meters to seven hundred meters, and the two sides were only a few hundred meters apart. For Chinese pilots, this was the ideal starting point for attack.

"Attack and abandon".

Meng Fei swayed the wings and immediately took the lead in diving downwards, while other pilots also flew the "Hornets" toward the target.

The strong airflow blew in, blowing the tail of the scarf on Meng Fei's neck straight, and the roar of the motive became low. The aircraft became difficult to operate, and the originally flexible joystick was as if it had been nailed to death. It was necessary to use a lot of effort to pull the joystick. Meng Fei used his joystick to play, steadily put his prey into the middle of the cross frame on the sight, and then pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Baring, begging, begging,"

Two long shots, dozens of bullets drifted away with a nan-red light belt, accurately hitting the nose of one of the "Wazan" fighters. Several bullets easily passed through the upper body of the Japanese pilot in the front seat of the nose, and the other several bullets hit the head of the Japanese pilot in the back seat. Although there was no motivation to hit, due to the loss of control, the "Wazan. aircraft tilted to the right and rolled toward the ground.

At the same time, several other Hornet fighters also opened fire. The angry bullets shot out a deadly light belt in the air and shot down two other Wazan fighters. The remaining two Wazan fighters pilots escaped the attack inside by luck and quickly controlled the plane to roll and fled to a low altitude.

As a result, the air battle quickly changed from a frontal assault to a trailing attack. In the sky, two Japanese 6th Army's "Wazan" fighters were fleeing desperately, and behind them, six Chinese "Hornet" fighters were following. The result of the battle was not unexpected at all. Five to zero, Meng Fei once again broke his air combat record. Now, as long as he shoots down another enemy plane, he can become the "air ace of the Chinese Air Force.

The concept of "Air Ace." was proposed by Zhao Bei during an inspection of the 6th Army's aviation unit. The standard was to shoot down five enemy aircraft in air combat. In Meng Fei's opinion, this standard was not high and it was easy to obtain this title. However, the facts proved that his view was correct. With the support of superior weapons, Chinese air force pilots could easily get the title of "Air Ace", provided that there were enough enemy aircraft to fight them.

"Only one aircraft, only one aircraft is short

Meng Fei muttered in his heart and used a carbon pen to draw his fourth record on the wooden shell next to the fighter cockpit. Although he wanted to lead the pieced-up interceptor team to continue to zip forward to see if there were any fish that had missed the net, he flew forward and left the military port, which was a concern of violating the order. Therefore, when other "wasp" retreated because they did not dare to violate the order, Meng Fei had to give up this idea temporarily and flew the fighter plane back over the military port.

Just as Meng Fei returned to the military port airspace with some annoyance, he was surprised to find that a Japanese Navy's "Farman" seaplane was flying south along a seawall, which seemed to be trying to escape the Chinese fighter jets in the military port.

Meng Fei picked up the carbon pen proudly. He first drew a star on the cockpit, then calmly dived down and shot two points. Without any effort, he knocked the "Farman" seaplane, which was only a few meters high from the sea, into a fireball.

"Haha! Man, we're the ace in the air
Chapter completed!
