Chapter 256 Participating in air combat (Happy New Year’s Day)
The next day, dozens of Japanese aircraft attacked and bombed the capital Nanjing again.
With the sound of huge explosions, the entire capital of Nanjing was plunged into a sea of fire. A group of female junior high school students were fleeing in panic towards the school where they were returning.
"The Japanese planes are bombing again. Everyone, go inside the school quickly! Find a hiding place!"
"But I want to go to a nearby church to take shelter! I'm still scared! The school doesn't seem to have any strong air defense buildings!"
"What nonsense are you talking about! The church is still a long way away from us. Before we can get there, we might be blown up by a Japanese plane! Go into the school to find the principal. She is a foreigner.
, and our schools are all run by foreigners, the Japanese planes would not dare to bomb here!"
"Yes! I forgot these! I'll be right back!"
Among this group of female junior high school students who were escaping in a panic, there were several other girls who were shouting at each other to escape.
However, in the end, the girl Liu Xueqing, their leader, persuaded them to escape towards the school.
The Japanese aerial bombs were constantly dropping and exploding on nearby buildings and streets on their way to escape.
Frightened by the louder explosion, these girls ran away in even more panic and screamed.
Some girls were even frightened to tears by such horrific bombing scenes.
But even though they were crying, they still made instinctive movements to escape.
However, the bombing by the Japanese planes was uninterrupted and carried out unscrupulously throughout the entire capital city of Nanjing.
At this time, the National Army's flying force had already been crippled by Japanese aircraft in the Battle of Songhu, with most of its elite members disabled.
However, the remaining pilots still quickly took the plane and carried out sorties.
In fact, if it were not for the corruption at the top of the National Army, perhaps the large amounts of money donated by the patriotic people and overseas Chinese could have equipped the National Army's flying force with at least 1,000 aircraft.
Instead of letting most of the money sleep in the bank on the other side of Hong Kong Island.
At this time, the first batch of N-16 fighter groups of the Soviet Air Force Volunteer Team led by Prokofiev had not yet arrived in the capital Nanjing. It would take some time to arrive before they would go into battle on December 1.
Well-known pilots such as Dong Ming-De and Le Yi-Qin, the commander of the 21st Squadron of the United Nations Air Force, worked together to counterattack the Japanese aircraft group.
Therefore, the only remaining pilots of the 21st Squadron of the National Army Air Force are the only remaining pilots of the National Army's flying force to counterattack the incoming Japanese planes, cooperating with the 4th Group, and there are also not many pilots from other flying teams.
Carry out take-off anti-aircraft counterattack.
The situation can be said to be very pessimistic.
At this time,
Here in Cangcheng, He Feiyang's troops, who have finished resting, and the Northeast Army and Sichuan Army on the other side of Songjiang City, are also continuing to prepare to hold on to the city for the last day to resist the Japanese attack.
Including the arrival of Japanese reinforcements,
And when He Feiyang was personally conducting inspections and observations at the tower in Cangcheng,
"Ding! Congratulations to the host for unintentionally triggering a new side mission. If the host is willing to use the last carrier-based aircraft group flying force to go to today's capital Nanjing to conduct an air battle to expel an abnormal Japanese aircraft group bombing operation, it will be possible
Among the rewards for the host to survive for one more day today, there will be 5 more FW-190D fighter jets!"
"In addition, the host will have the opportunity to harvest a few amateur pilots for his own use in the upcoming battle in Nanjing, the capital!"
"Of course, if the host is unwilling to accept this unintentional combat mission, it can still get the reward of surviving one more day today, 35 tons of ammunition supplies, and three 155mm large-caliber heavy cannons!"
"However, the difficulty of the host's subsequent persistence operations and breakout operations will be increased by four high difficulty levels!"
"So the host please choose carefully!"
In He Feiyang's mind, the long-lost system prompt suddenly rang.
"."
He Feiyang.
Faced with such surprising system prompts and sounds.
This was the first time He Feiyang encountered such an unusual reward task, and it seemed that there was a bit of coercion in it.
In addition, he also didn't understand when he would have one more chance to use the flying force?
Aren’t they all already deployed in the battle on Jinshan Guard’s side to attack the Japanese’s fourth fleet?
"??????"
So after being puzzled, He Feiyang's mind was filled with questions.
But no matter what, he decisively accepted such an inexplicable reward in the end.
Anyway, having rewards is better than having the dangers of high difficulty.
He didn't want his subsequent breakout operation to be nearly five times as difficult as the holding operation.
Isn’t this making yourself uncomfortable and dangerous?
So He Feiyang was very happy. He chose to accept the mission in his mind and participated in the air battle over the capital Nanjing. He was rewarded with 5 FW-190D fighter jets, another 35 tons of ammunition supplies, and 3 155mm large-caliber heavy guns!
Then He Feiyang, who returned home with a full harvest, also smiled brightly.
Especially when all the rewarded weapons, equipment and ammunition were stored in his mind space, he became even more happy, and his smile was as bright as his smile.
Even the officers and soldiers around him showed surprised expressions, looking at the smug He Feiyang.
After He Feiyang accepted the air battle in the capital Nanjing,
Twenty F4U Corsair fighter jets suddenly appeared in the airspace 10 kilometers outside the capital Nanjing and were rushing over to participate in the air battle over the capital.
At this time, there were only 8 Nationalist Air Force pilots capable of flying aircraft and conducting take-off operations, and there were only a few truly elite pilots, and the rest were pilots with relatively little combat experience.
Facing the menacing Japanese aircraft, these Chinese pilots fearlessly flew their Hawker-3 fighter jets to take off.
The export version of the Hawker-3 fighter is code-named "Eagle" III. It is the main fighter of the Chinese Air Force in the "August 14th Air Battle".
The Hawker-3 fighter jet was the most advanced fighter jet of the Chinese Air Force at that time. Four ace pilots, including the Chinese Air Force hero Gao Zhihang, had all flown this type of fighter jet against Japanese aircraft groups and had good results.
As for the Hawker 75 fighter jets, the few remaining Chinese pilots are not allowed to fly them.
The Hawker 75 fighter jet was introduced into the country shortly after leaving the factory in June 1937. After the war broke out on the Peiping side on July 7, 1937, the Hawker 75H was adopted after a flight demonstration in the capital Nanjing on August 25.
Mrs. Song took a fancy to it and spent $35,000 of her own money to buy it and give it to Chennault as Chennault's special aircraft.
During the Battle of Songhu, the Chinese Army’s Hawker 75M conducted many aerial reconnaissances over Songhu.
However, it was not until 1938 that 30 Hawker 75Ms arrived in Yangcheng for assembly, and then in July they were assigned to the 25th Group stationed at Hengyang Airport for reception and training.
So what is taking off from Nanjing, the capital, is the last batch of Hawker-3 fighter jets, as well as the last batch of elite pilots, all of whom are the few remaining pilots who survived the Battle of Songhu.
If even they are killed in battle, then most of the elite aces of the national army pilots can be said to have been completely used up.
