Anti-Japanese War: I have a million soldiers and you call me a division commander?

Chapter 57 Good news comes frequently, the Air Force wins and takes over the air supremacy!

Because this is a battle between a flying base and the Japanese air force in three directions, Chu Feng has not received any system-related prompts so far.

When the good news came, Chu Feng was extremely excited and thrilled.

Although this was not the first victory of the Air Force, it had also achieved the results of destroying an airport and shooting down 38 aircraft.

But this time was different. This was a large-scale battle for air supremacy conducted by the Air Force before the war with the Japanese.

In terms of the number of personnel and weapons and equipment, the flying unit of the 1st Independent Brigade was at an absolute disadvantage, but it had an advantage in the quality of its aircraft.

Before the war, Chu Feng was a little worried. Even if a new batch of Thunder fighter jets from the United States were added, whether the air supremacy could be in his own hands would determine whether the troops could keep casualties to a minimum in this battle.

With the good news coming back from Gao Yuan, Chu Feng felt relieved.

The results showed that although there might be a disadvantage in the number of aircraft, the performance of the aircraft could be relied upon to suppress the Japanese Air Force.

This was the victory, 18 to 50, in the end they shot down 36 planes with zero casualties.

It can be said that this was a crushing battle. Even if Chu Feng was not flying the fighter himself, he could still feel the despair of the Japanese pilots facing the La-7 fighter during this aerial decisive battle.

At this moment, the brigade headquarters was in an uproar, and soon the news spread throughout Yuan County, and the people of Yuan County were also in an uproar.

The people in Yuan County from the Second War Zone and the National Government naturally received this news. However, they tried hard to find out the news from the Second War Zone and the National Government, but they never had the chance.

Now, listening to the cheers of Yuan County and the news coming back from the headquarters of the 1st Independent Brigade, they were very excited and quickly reported the news.

In any case, they were finally able to give an explanation to the Second War Zone and the National Government.

"Li Tang!"

Calming down from his ecstasy, Chu Feng grabbed the phone and connected to the flight base. He said, "First of all, on behalf of our brigade, I would like to congratulate our pilots for achieving a great victory."

"But the battle has just begun, it's not time to celebrate yet. Tell Gao Yuan that I want more than just a battle. I want air supremacy, air supremacy for this battle."

"I don't want to see any Japanese planes in the sky until this battle is over."

Having said that, Chu Feng paused and continued, "Besides that, the ground battle will soon begin, and your flight base will have a heavier task."

"As soon as we receive a telegram from the frontline troops, we will immediately dispatch aircraft to provide air support."

"After this battle is over, I will personally go to the flight base to present awards and medals to everyone."

"At the same time, I have also made my own request to our pilots. I hope that after this battle, a group of our own ace pilots will emerge from the air base."

Li Tang on the other end of the phone heard Chu Feng's words and immediately shouted, "Brigade Commander, don't worry, I will definitely convey your order."

After hanging up the phone, Chu Feng couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He turned to the battle sand table and looked at the situation between the enemy and us.

"Old Li, if I was 70% sure of victory before this battle, now I am 100% sure."

Li Mingqiang, who was standing by, couldn't stop laughing when he heard Chu Feng's words. He said, "Yes, Brigade Commander, once we really gain control of the air, the Japs' three-pronged attack will be ineffective."

"Without the air support of the aircraft, the Japanese army's firepower alone, to be honest, can only bully other Chinese troops. Compared with our Independent 1st Brigade, they are far inferior."

Li Mingqiang has now completely integrated into the 1st Independent Brigade, and always refers to himself as a member of the 1st Independent Brigade.

"Ok!"

Chu Feng smiled when he heard this and said, "That's right. The Japanese have three main tactics: bombing with planes, bombing with artillery, and then charging with infantry. If they can't take it, they'll do it again. If that doesn't work, they'll use a flanking move."

"Now that we've cut off their aerial arm, the greatest threat to us among the three axes has disappeared." At this point, Chu Feng sneered: "This time, I must leave this little devil with an unforgettable memory."

"Fifty thousand Japanese puppet troops are trying to attack Chu Feng and the 1st Independent Brigade?"

"I don't think they know who is the big and small king."

Not long after the victory news came back from the plateau, good news came from the battle in the southwest.

A total of 9 La-7 fighters from a squadron went to the southwest, facing two squadrons of 32 Japanese planes. After a fierce battle, the familiar scene was staged again.

The Japanese pilots were fooled. The gap in aircraft performance could not be made up by the pilots' skills, not to mention that the pilots at the flight base were not rookies.

The two sides fought in the air for several minutes, and 12 planes were shot down. The remaining Japanese pilots collapsed mentally and began to flee in all directions.

After a period of pursuit, another 10 Japanese planes were shot down, and finally an impressive record of zero for twenty-two was achieved. The ten fleeing Japanese planes were like stray dogs, and did not dare to land at Mingyangbao Airport, but fled all the way south.

After the victory, nine La-9 fighters flew to Mingyangbao Airport.

Mingyangbao Airport is also an unlucky one. Some time ago, it was attacked by the 769th night attack of the 129th Division of the Eighth Route Army, in which more than 20 aircraft were destroyed in one fell swoop, and the airport was also damaged.

Not long after the repair, Mingyangbao Airport was destroyed and bombed again. In less than three months, the Japanese soldiers at the airport changed twice.

Faced with the air attack, the Japanese soldiers at Mingyangbao Airport suffered countless casualties, and their ammunition and fuel depots were all destroyed.

The situation was similar in the east, where 20 P-47 Thunderbolt fighters made their first appearance.

As the United States' main fighter during World War II, it was not only tough and safe, but also had strong firepower. It was equipped with 8 12.7mm machine guns and had a power of 2200 horsepower.

They could easily defeat the Japanese's proud Zero fighters, not to mention the Japanese's current Type 96 and Type 95 aircraft.

The 20 P-47 fighter planes faced more than 70 Japanese aircraft of various types. It was like a wolf among a flock of sheep. They were killed in and out again and again. The Japanese pilots had no temper at all.

Even if a P-47 fighter was hit by a Japanese plane, its super strong protection would make it like a tickle when facing the Japanese 7.7mm machine gun.

It has super long battery life and can stay in the air for 9 hours at a time. Even if it competes with the Japanese planes in terms of battery life, it is no match for them.

Of the more than 70 Japanese planes, 52 were shot down in the air battle that lasted more than ten minutes, and the remaining Japanese planes escaped due to the panic of the Japanese pilots.

During this period, many Japanese pilots attempted to launch suicidal attacks.

But faced with the agile P-47 fighter planes, they could only think blindly. They wanted to be heroes of the Japanese, but suddenly became clowns.

After winning the air battle, they did not pursue or search for the fleeing Japanese planes. Instead, they turned and flew towards the Peiping-Tianjin area and launched a wave of bombing on the Japanese airports. Although the Japanese airports urgently dispatched a wave of anti-aircraft weapons, they still could not withstand the ravages of the P-47 fighters.

With three victories, four-fifths of the three Japanese air force battalions from the North China Front Army and the Kwantung Army were destroyed. Except for the Kwantung Army's airport in Rehe, all other airports near Yuan County were destroyed, and the air supremacy was completely firmly in Chu Feng's hands.
