Devil's Army

Chapter 1284: Defeating the Japanese Air Force

The Japanese fighter planes formed two circles, and the bomber groups protecting them on the outside continued to bomb the two warships captured by the First Army.

The destroyer and cruiser captured by the independent battalion were hit and caught fire one after another.

Seeing this, Captain Du had no choice but to lead his fighter squadron into the Japanese fighter group.

When the Japanese bombers saw the First Army's Hua Xia III fighters rushing towards them, they fled in all directions like rabbits seeing wolves.

This also seriously affected the bombing effectiveness of the Japanese bomber groups.

But Captain Du also paid a price for this: his wingman and one of the deputy squadron leader's wingmen were besieged by a group of Japanese fighter planes and crashed.

Two young pilots died in the sky! But Captain Du and his men had no choice. If they didn't die bravely, the warships they had just captured would be sunk by Japanese planes.

Captain Du and his men continued to harass and attack the Japanese planes, while the Japanese continued to chase and drive away Captain Du's fighter squadron.

The two sides chased and fought in the air for more than an hour, and the roar of a large number of planes was heard from the direction of Kunming.

The main force of the First Army's Kunming Air Force arrived, and the Japanese fighters and bombers immediately retreated upon seeing this.

Captain Yin led the pilots of the Second Air Squadron and the Third Air Squadron of the First Army and quickly entered the battlefield to fight with the Japanese fighters and bombers.

The Japanese planes, which were outnumbered, did not engage in a fight with the First Army's planes, but tried every means to escape.

A group of pointed-nosed aircraft appeared in the sky over Sanya, Hainan Island, constantly chasing and attacking the jet aircraft in front.

The jet plane kept turning, rising, lowering, and rolling to slow down... to get rid of the sharp-nosed fighters. However, the students of Kunming Aviation School, who had been baptized by the fire of war for a long time, were no longer the fledglings when they first graduated from the aviation school.

Their superb flying skills allowed them to constantly catch up with Japanese fighters and bombers.

Japanese fighter planes and bombers were shot down or exploded in mid-air from time to time.

When Deputy Battalion Commander Hu saw that the Japanese fighters and bombers had been defeated by his own fighters, he hurriedly led his troops back to Sanya Airport to repair and renovate the runway that had been destroyed by the Japanese.

After the battle, the First Army's planes will definitely land at Sanya Airport.

Captain Xu of the Qiongya Guerrillas saw that the restoration and renovation work at Sanya Airport was not only heavy but also urgent, so he immediately mobilized the surrounding people to bring their own tools to participate in the restoration work at Sanya Airport.

The people around knew that as long as their air force entered Sanya Airport, they would be protected from Japanese air raids.

So a large number of ordinary people came with their own tools to help the soldiers of the First Army repair the runway and apron of Sanya Airport.

More than half an hour later, the Japanese aircraft groups at Guangzhou Tianhe Airport and Sanzao Island Airport were shot down and repelled.

At this time, Captain Yin discovered from the air that a Japanese fleet had arrived at the mouth of Hainan Island.

Captain Yin then took his pilots and flew over to attack the Japanese fleet of ten warships.

This Japanese fleet originally wanted to assist the Marines in taking back Sanya Port Terminal and Sanya Airport.

At this time, seeing a large number of pointed fighters and bombers rushing towards them, they quickly retreated.

Captain Yin and his men did not pursue the Japanese fleet, but drove them away and returned to the Kunming headquarters, because they had little ammunition left.

Shortly after Captain Yin and his team returned, the two fighter-bomber squadrons of the First Army originally stationed at Sanya Airport also returned to Sanya Airport one after another.

In this battle, the Japanese shot down five fighters of Captain Du and Captain Liu's squadron, and the other fighters were more or less injured.

They were very worried about whether the only 13 damaged fighter planes left at Sanya Airport could cope with the next wave of Japanese attacks.

Captain Zhang was not worried, as he believed that the Kunming headquarters would definitely make arrangements.

After the First Army's plane landed, Deputy Battalion Commander Hu did not leave Sanya Airport with the soldiers and civilians, but continued to tidy up Sanya Airport.

Because he believed that the First Army would definitely have more than a dozen aircraft parked. If they wanted to gain air superiority over Hainan Island, the First Army would have to have at least thirty to fifty fighter jets parked.

Sure enough, at around two o'clock in the afternoon, Kunming arranged two Hua Xia III fighter squadrons, one Hua Xia II fighter squadron and one H-2 bomber squadron to transfer to Sanya Airport on Hainan Island.

After the Japanese army's air raid on the airport in Hanoi, Vietnam, they rarely came to harass Kunming.

Leng Feng then deployed a group of fighter jets and bombers at Sanya Airport on Hainan Island.

This time, along with the First Army Air Force came a group of ground crew members and a large number of aircraft weapons and ammunition.
