Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

East Korea Bay,

The morning sun has not yet completely spread over the sea.

Aboard the USS Princeton,

Pilot James sat in the cockpit with blank eyes, feeling the roar of the engine.

这是他四天来的第12次轰炸鸭绿江大桥任务，今天的任务由2架F2H-2P侦察机，16架F4U战斗机组成，其中5架负责掩护，11架执行轰炸任务。

What drove him crazy was that since the floating bridge appeared on the Yalu River, their bombing seemed meaningless, at least that was what James himself thought.

During the day they blew up the floating bridges, and at night the Chinese continued to build floating bridges to transport supplies. The next day, they went to see a lot of floating bridges on the river. They blew up 22 floating bridges in Ji'an alone! It seemed like they were doing it for free!

and,

The crazy bombing over the past few days has cost the U.S. Navy Air Force a heavy price. Although the Chinese Air Force has dispatched fewer sorties, their ground artillery fire is extremely fierce.

27 aircraft carriers of the USS Princeton alone were shot down by ground fire.

James has written a suicide note. Now before every flight, the captain requires pilots to hand in the suicide note.

Ground crew members were loading bombs onto Corsair fighter jets that were carrying out a bombing mission.

Before taking off, James carefully checked the equipment in the cockpit: the communication equipment was normal, the fuel was sufficient, and the oxygen mask was normal. Everything was ready, and he reported to the commander: "Sir, everything is ready."

"Copy that, good luck to you."

The roar of the engine gradually grew louder, the plane slid slowly, and finally took off. Looking at the aircraft carrier gradually shrinking below, James prayed silently in his heart: I hope everything goes well today.

As a reconnaissance plane, they have to set off 20 minutes in advance!

After flying for more than an hour, the Yalu River gradually became clear on the ground, winding like a giant dragon.

However, the scene that made James despair and collapse happened again. On the broad river, floating bridges appeared quietly like ghosts. He stared with wide eyes, counting these floating bridges that appeared out of thin air in disbelief, and the fear in his heart continued to rise - a full 7! This number was one more than yesterday!

James raised his telescope.

His eyes swept over the floating bridges,

There were all kinds of colorful debris scattered all over the floating bridge and the surface of the Yalu River. There were even a few floating wooden boxes on the river. It was obvious that the Chinese were transporting supplies on a large scale via the floating bridge last night.

Faced with such a strange and desperate scene, James' voice began to tremble.

He held the microphone tightly in his hand, as if it was his only lifeline at the moment.

Finally, he reported to the rear in a voice with a hint of tears: "Oh my God... There are now 7 pontoon bridges on the Ji'an River. Report completed!" After saying this, James sat down weakly, his mind was blank, and he had no idea how to deal with this incredible situation next.

A moment later, the main flight formation for the bridge bombing mission flew over the Yalu River.

At this moment, the anti-aircraft guns that had been hidden on the ground for a long time suddenly opened fire. In an instant, flames shot up into the sky from the artillery positions, and one shell after another roared into the sky like angry fire dragons.

Two planes were hit and caught fire, falling to the ground.

James found it incredible. Why was the Volunteer Army's ground artillery fire so strong every time they came over? It could even reach an altitude of meters. Moreover, the artillery tactics of these Volunteer Army were very cunning. They would not attack the reconnaissance planes in front, but would wait for the group of planes behind to come over before attacking!

The US military planes formed several formations and began to dive and strafe. The ground artillery fire threat was too great, so it had to be cleared up first!

When the aerial battle was in full swing,

James's reconnaissance plane's onboard radar suddenly sounded an alarm.

He could see that more than a dozen small green dots of light had appeared on the screen from the direction of mainland China, and were getting closer and closer.

The radar on his reconnaissance aircraft can detect a range of 20 kilometers.

James immediately shouted into the communicator: "Enemy planes! Enemy planes! Distance 18 kilometers, number 12!"

The American planes raised their noses, deployed their positions, and began to prepare for the battle.

In less than two minutes,

A dozen silver planes swooped down from the clouds at an astonishing speed. All of them were China's own J-1 fighters, which had far superior performance to their F4Us.

James' face changed drastically!

I haven’t seen much of the Chinese Air Force these days, and I thought they had been completely wiped out. But their first attack today was a killing move!

The J-1 has already rushed over, as if carrying a fierce murderous aura.

"Avoid!" A voice shouted from the headset.

An F4U pulled up the control stick, trying to get rid of the pursuit of the J-1 fighter. However, the J-1's maneuverability was too strong, and it quickly turned and approached, and a string of shells sprayed out from the nose, directly hitting the F4U in mid-air!

The J-1 then pounced fiercely towards James.

"Request support!" James shouted into the communicator, but the only response was static noise. Other comrades seemed to have been ambushed as well, and the communication channel was in chaos.

At this moment, another J-1 swooped in from the right, and James' reconnaissance plane was forced to make drastic evasive maneuvers again.

The fuselage shook violently, and he felt his teeth chattering. There was another loud noise in the communicator, followed by silence - that was the sound of his comrade's plane being shot down.

James' heart was beating fast, and cold sweat was running down his forehead. He knew that if he continued like this, he would be shot down. James quickly lowered his altitude and tried to use the terrain to cover his escape.

But a J-1 was chasing him closely from behind.

The reconnaissance plane flew close to the mountain ridge, feeling the violent fluctuations of the air currents. Bullets flew around the fuselage from behind, making a "whooshing" sound.

Suddenly, a flash of fire flashed before his eyes, and then James's fighter plane began to shake violently. "I was hit!" he shouted in horror. The warning lights on the dashboard kept flashing, and various instruments failed. The fighter plane lost control and began to fall towards the ground. James desperately pulled the handle of the ejection seat and ejected from the cockpit at the last moment.

This fierce air battle was over in less than 0 minutes, and the Volunteer Air Force achieved an astonishing loss ratio of 8 to .

In the first phase of the air battle, Zhang Wenjiu entered a one-week summary and truce period due to heavy losses. During this week, he also received 32 J-1 fighter jets from the Mulan Arsenal!

Under the guidance of Yin Xinjun, Zhang Wenjiu decided to adopt a new tactic - guerrilla harassment warfare!

The Chinese Air Force has set up more than a dozen radar stations along the Sino-North Korean border, which can provide early warning over 300 kilometers!

Zhang Wenjiu ordered that two fighting methods would be used in the future.

First, after determining the number of invading US aircraft, concentrate the superior number of aircraft to encircle and annihilate them!

The second one is to form a small formation of 2-3 J-5s to carry out continuous harassment attacks on the US ground forces, and retreat immediately when encountering US aircraft groups!
