Devil's Army

Tonight, Captain Yin will fly to Sanzao Island Airport with a fighter squadron.

He also called a meeting with the squadron leaders and team leaders of Sanzao Island Airport, Shantou Airport and Weizhou Island Airport.

Captain Du and Captain Yang introduced today's air combat situation, and Captain Yin summarized it:

The Japanese army still adopted the tactic of "three around one", trying to shoot down our fighter planes by relying on the numerical advantage. However, in this air battle, the Japanese army and our aircraft were nearly 1 to 1. We may even have slightly more fighter planes than the Japanese army. Therefore, the Japanese army could only create a local numerical advantage.

The firepower of the Japanese Zero-52 fighter is much stronger than the old Type 95 fighter, but its speed and flexibility are not on the same level as our aircraft.

3. When we engage Japanese fighter planes, we should avoid head-on engagements and instead make full use of our fighter planes' speed advantage and flexibility to attack the Japanese from the side or rear to minimize our casualties.

After the meeting, under the arrangement of Captain Yin, adjustments were made to tomorrow's air battle.

Although Japanese Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Hisaichi was satisfied with the air battle, he had major complaints about the intelligence system.

Their intelligence system reported to him that the fighters of the Southern Devil Forces only had more than 40 fighters at the Weizhou Island Airport. How come more than 100 fighters suddenly appeared at the Sanzao Island Airport and Shantou Airport?

He ordered the Special High Section to strengthen the collection of intelligence on the Devil Forces. But he also knew that the Devil Forces were the most difficult to collect intelligence from among all the armies in China.

In order to replace the aircraft and pilots lost in this air battle, Commander-in-Chief Terauchi Hisaichi applied to Commander-in-Chief Hata Shunroku of the China Expeditionary Army for aviation assistance through the Army Department.

Commander-in-Chief Hata Shunroku received an order from the Army Ministry to arrange 60 Zero fighters at Xinyang Airport, the most important flying base in southern Henan, and rushed to Wuhan Airport in Hubei overnight.

At around 7 o'clock the next morning, more than 100 Japanese fighter planes from Guangzhou Tianhe Airport and several airports in Hubei Province attacked Sanzao Island Airport and Shantou Airport with great momentum.

Captain Du and Captain He each led a group of fighter planes to meet the Japanese fighter plane group.

The fighter planes of both armies had not yet entered the effective range. Captain Du led his fighter group to make a large turn to the left to escape the head-on combat with the Japanese fighter planes.

Captain Yang led his group of fighter planes and made a sharp turn to the right to escape the head-on combat with the Japanese fighter planes.

The Japanese captain led their fighter groups and immediately split into two groups to pursue the fighter groups of Captain Du and Captain Yang.

Captain Du and Captain Yang each slowed down their fighter groups, attracting the Japanese troops to chase them like fishing.

The Japanese captain saw the fighter planes of the Devil Force in front of him, but he couldn't catch up.

When all the Japanese fighter planes were chasing the First Army fighter groups on both sides, Captain Yin suddenly led a group of fighter planes to fly in a triangle, fiercely pounced on the Japanese fighter group from behind, and fired fiercely.

The Japanese pilots soon realized that the Devil Force fighter planes were attacking them from behind, and quickly maneuvered their planes left or right or up and down to escape the pursuit of Captain Yin and his men.

Captain Yin and his men relied on the excellent flexibility and high flying speed of the Huaxia III fighters to quickly catch up with and bite the Japanese fighters, and kept firing.
