Fifteen kilometers north of the "Kunpeng", Warrant Officer Sun Longxiang, who belongs to the 501st Navy Ship Warrant Squadron, was flying a brand new "Sea Shock Electric Armor" biplane single-seat fighter. As the wingman of the squadron leader Captain Dongfang Ming, he began his first air battle in his life.

There were about fifty or sixty enemy aircraft coming. At this moment, the escort fleet that was carrying out air defense duty missions over the fleet was composed of Kunpeng's 501 Squadron and Yunpeng's 507 Squadron. There were 24 aircraft in total, with four aircraft as a group, evenly distributed in six directions of the fleet's wheel formation. Only Sun Longxiang's group was able to enter the battle as soon as possible.

"Dad, mom, I can finally avenge you."

After saying this in English with a Hawaiian accent, Sun Longxiang pulled the rod and climbed rapidly with Dongfang Ming's long aircraft, rushing towards the dark enemy formation under the clouds!

Sun Longxiang, 17 years old this year, comes from a Chinese family in Honolulu, Hawaii. More than two years ago, he was still studying at a local Chinese church school. Suddenly, it was like a bolt from the blue, and news came that the East Asian United Fleet air strikes on Pearl Harbor.

Before the rolling smoke in Pearl Harbor was extinguished, US police began to search the Asian residential areas in Honolulu. After being boycotted, they even fired, resulting in the "Flange Plaza tragedy" of killing and wounding hundreds of civilians.

In the chaos, Sun Longxiang joined the Chinese guerrillas organized by lurking agents of the Chinese army. He rescued the two legendary female pilots who crashed during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Cai Guolan and Qi Bing. Later, he assisted and guided the airships of the Chinese special forces to descend on Oahu Island. He even took up weapons and held the bridgehead with the ingenious special forces soldiers, and made contributions far beyond his identity and age for the large army to seize the entire island by lightning. However, shortly after the battle, he learned that his parents had both died...

After the Hawaii was pacified, Sun Longxiang was specially approved to take the Imperial Navy Preparatory Flight Certificate Qualification Examination, unexpectedly passed with high scores, and then entered the preparatory course of the Navy Guangzhou Aviation School for theoretical study and adaptation training.

After nine months of preparatory studies, after a comprehensive quality assessment with an elimination rate of more than 60%. Sun Longxiang was selected into the Navy Fleet Air Force Flight Training Corps. With the goal of becoming an aircraft carrier-based aircraft pilot, he began a nine-month rigorous training. His instructor was Cai Guolan, who once left the front line after the Battle of the Bay of Bengal...

When Sun Longxiang saw Cai Guolan again, he was no longer the shy and brave boy he had ever seen. He only had cold and ruthless hatred in his eyes. He just wanted to go to the front line to kill the "white ghost" as soon as possible - although in Cai Guolan's opinion, he just hoped to end his life as soon as possible in some brilliant way...

Due to his outstanding performance in previous assessments, Sun Longxiang was assigned to the 501 ship war squadron with outstanding military achievements as soon as he finished his training. He became the wingman of the ace squadron leader Dongfang Ming and participated in the previous Gulf of Aden. However, until the end of the battle, Sun Longxiang had not seen even an enemy plane in the air.

Now, the opportunity has come.

The fleet in front is divided into three teams: one is a huge twin-engine biplane multi-seat aircraft, with less than twenty, located at the front and lower part of the fleet; one is a smaller single-engine biplane twin-seat aircraft. There are about twenty or thirty, located in the center of the fleet; and one is the lightest single-engine biplane single-seat aircraft, with about twenty, located above the rear part of the fleet.

All aircraft's fuselage and wings are painted with concentric circles of blue, white and red from the Royal Navy.

Relying on the repeated enemy aircraft picture recognition training, Sun Longxiang quickly identified: the twin-engine biplane was the O100 bomber of Handlipeji Company in the UK, and the Chinese army was nicknamed "Grand Stage"; the single-engine two-seater was the F.2 fighter bomber of Bristol Company. The Chinese army was nicknamed "Two-headed Snake"; the single-engine single-seater was the S.e.5a fighter of the Royal Aircraft Factory, and the Chinese army was nicknamed "Big Five-Step Snake".

The Handlipeti O100 bomber is equipped with two Rolls-Royce's "Falcon 2" 250-horsepower liquid-cooled piston engines, with a maximum speed of 155 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 930 kilometers. In terms of military equipment, a 7.7-mm Lewis mobile machine gun is installed on the nose and back rotor, which can carry a bomb with a total weight of up to 520 kilograms. Or a 450 kilogram MK.ix type 457 mm aerial torpedo.

The Bristol F.2 fighter bomber is equipped with a Rolls-Royce Falcon 3 275-horsepower liquid-cooled piston engine with a maximum speed of 198 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 593 kilometers. In terms of military equipment, a 7.7mm Vicks heading machine gun is fixedly installed on the left side of the nose, and a 7.7mm Lewis movable machine gun is installed on the rear seat rotary frame, which can carry a bomb with a total weight of up to 110 kilograms.

The Royal Aircraft Factory S.e.5a fighter was improved from the S.e.5, which had previously emerged in the two Battles of Solomon. The main change was to upgrade the Ispano Siza 8a 150-horsepower liquid-cooled piston engine equipped with the S.e.5 to the 200-horsepower engine, with a maximum speed from 200 kilometers to 222 kilometers per hour, and a maximum range from 483 kilometers to 530 kilometers. In terms of military equipment, a 7.7 mm Vicks heading machine gun is fixedly installed on the left side of the nose, and a 7.7 mm Lewis mobile machine gun is installed in the center of the upper wing above the cockpit, which can carry a bomb with a total weight of up to 44 kilograms.

In contrast, the Beiyang Heavy Industry "Sea Seismic Electric Armor" driven by Sun Longxiang was improved from the previous "Sea Seismic Electric". The main change was to upgrade the Beiyang Heavy Industry HK-11a type 330 horsepower liquid-cooled piston engine equipped with the "Sea Seismic Electric" to the HK-11b type 360 ​​horsepower engine, and slightly modified the aerodynamic appearance, increasing the maximum speed from 235 kilometers to 250 kilometers, and increasing the maximum range from 700 kilometers to 740 kilometers. In terms of military equipment, a 7.92 mm Maximian heading machine gun is fixedly installed on both sides of the nose, which can carry up to 90 kilograms of bombs.

The aircraft also inherits the outstanding protective performance of "sea seismic electricity". Not only is it equipped with bulletproof armor plates around the cockpit, but it is also equipped with advanced bulletproof self-sealed fuel tanks. Therefore, the increased weight affects the flight performance of the fighter to a certain extent. Compared with the revolutionary improvement of the fighter's durability and driver safety, whether such sacrifice is worth it still needs more practical combat to verify.

The information of our enemy and our fighter planes flashed through Sun Longxiang's mind like a slide. Suddenly, eight S.e.5a "Big Five-Step Snakes" left the brigade and rushed towards the four "Sea Shock Electric Armors" approaching the group. Seeing one of the enemy planes breaking into the cross center of the aiming circle from afar, and without waiting for the leader of the Dongfang Ming Squadron Captain to shake the wings to signal "fire", Sun Longxiang pressed the shooting button at the top of the joystick first.

The two machine guns installed in the engine fairing spewed out shiny flames. Under the mechanical action of the shooting coordinator, the bullets accurately passed through the propeller, dragging a series of fleeting bullet marks, rushing between the metal engines, canvas skins, wooden plywood and fleshy crew members of the enemy aircraft. It splashed inmeasurable Mars, cloth pieces, wood chips and blood...

Within less than two puffs of smoke, the seventeen-year-old Sun Longxiang achieved his first air combat results. The price he paid was just the few bright bullet holes on the wings.

The moment the enemy and our fleet passed by, another "Big Five-Step Snake" also pulled out black smoke, burning, rolling, breaking, and debris fell to the sea in scattered areas.

The two teams of fighter planes climbed and rolled sharply. With a stronger engine, the "Sea Shock Electric Armor" completed the action in a second or two, and in an instant, the remaining six "Big Five-Step Snakes" were incorporated into the aiming circle.

In the flash, two more "big five-step snakes" dragged out the black smoke and left the queue crookedly.

Before we could determine who was the result, the other four "big five-step snakes" also completed the roll and shot a dense rain of bullets at Sun Longxiang and his party.

In the blink of an eye, a "Sea Shock Electric Armor" engine next to Sun Longxiang was shot, sparks splashed everywhere, and then black smoke came out "bang" with black smoke. The propeller stopped rotating, but the plane did not lose control and roll, but hovered and glided towards the direction of the "Kunpeng" mothership.

"It is impossible to land on the mothership in this way. We can only try our best to force the landing on the sea near the fleet. This will give us a better chance of being rescued by the escorted destroyer, but - what does this matter have to do with me?"

Sun Longxiang's mind flashed through his mind that he didn't know what the meaning was. He subconsciously pedaled the rudder and left Captain Dongfangming's wingman position without authorization, cutting the radius to bite a "big five-step snake" that seemed to want to escape.

Diving, rolling, and sliding sideways. Sun Longxiang drove the plane closely following the violently maneuvering "Big Five-Step Snake" and patiently shortened the distance until the tail contour of the enemy plane filled the outermost round frame of the aiming circle, and then gritted his teeth and pressed the shooting button.

The two machine guns at the front of the machine spit out red flames, and the smoke was swept by the strong wind pouring from the propeller and hit the wind block. In a trance, Sun Longxiang felt like a dream, as if he had returned to Oahu Island, back to Honolulu, back to school, back home, and next to his parents...

Suddenly, with a loud bang, and the vision was filled with explosive fragments and flames. Sun Longxiang suddenly realized that he was getting too close!

Sun Longxiang closed his eyes reflexively, feeling the plane shaking violently, and his ears roared. When he opened his eyes, there were already blue sky and white clouds in front of him. Before he could take a breath, the engine in the nose fairing screamed sharply, trembling as if he was about to break free from the body, forcing him to quickly turn off the accelerator.

The engine soon became quiet. Sun Longxiang, who had finally come to his senses, looked closely and his mind suddenly turned blank - the propeller was gone!

"Impossible, this kind of thing, what does this kind of thing have to do with me..."

While muttering to himself, Sun Longxiang felt that the shaking of the body was becoming more and more difficult to control. He looked around and found that several irregular holes were added to the wings and horizontal tail wings, which should be the damage caused by accidentally breaking into the explosion range of the enemy plane just now.

Although the lost fighter jet is still gliding with inertia, its altitude is constantly decreasing. Sun Longxiang must forcibly land on the sea near the fleet before completely losing the altitude so that the destroyers in the fleet can be salvaged nearby. Otherwise, once our fleet is far away from this sea area, Sun Longxiang's only hope of survival is to be discovered and rescued by the enemy's warships, becoming a prisoner of war who will return to the motherland at any time.

"This is my first real battle. I haven't killed enough white devils. Not enough, far from enough. I want to survive and kill more white devils. Until the white devils in this world will never dare to despise us Chinese, nor will we, the yellow people in Asia again..."

After making a strong effort for himself, Sun Longxiang controlled the plane to glide in the direction where the mothership was located, and subconsciously glanced back: less than 500 meters above, a lonely "big five-step snake" had already pointed the nose at him...

...

The "Kunpeng" bridge.

Bi Lingbo looked out from behind, and smoke burst into the sky on the blue sky and white clouds between Asia and Afriga, and black lines intertwined into the sea. A one-sided fleet air defense battle seemed to have come to an end: the invading enemy aircraft group was first hit by more than half of the Qualifying Fighter fighter jets above the fleet, and then suffered heavy damage when passing through the fleet's own air defense fire circle. The surviving enemy aircraft dropped bombs on the outer escort ships of the wheel array. Only a few aircraft were able to drop bombs on the two aircraft carriers in the center of the array, but none of them hit directly and caused no casualties. The real result worth mentioning was just a near-lost bomb, causing a slight water in the bow of the "Kunpeng".

"It seems that I'm too worried. The legendary Straits Air Force is just like this..."

Before Bi Lingbo finished speaking, the horn above his head suddenly rustled: "Signal station report, signal station report, Thunder raised the flag: This ship was attacked by torpedoes, and the entire fleet is paying attention to preventing submarine!"
