my bright sword career

Taking advantage of his illness to kill him is an essential skill for a qualified commander. The word soft-hearted is not allowed in war. Not only Gao Hongming understands this, but Okamura Ningji knows it even more.

When Xiangshan and Saburo, who were commanding the troops to clean up the bombed airport and rescue damaged fighter planes and supplies, received a telegram from Okamura Neiji that all fighter planes took off to meet the enemy, he was stunned for a moment, and then his face was expressionless. The order sounded the alarm, and at the same time jumped into the cockpit of a Zero fighter.

Accompanied by the shrill and piercing air defense sirens sounded on the airport, all the Japanese pilots rushed to the runway without hesitation, and after just a few minutes, one plane after another rose from the ground and headed towards the direction reported by the tower fly away.

"120 eight, there are only so many combat aircraft left in Shanxi, I hope they can destroy a few more China fighter planes." Xiangshan and Saburo, who drove the fighter planes into the sky, thought to themselves.

The Japanese ground crews standing on the lawn watched the fighter planes going away for a long time without saying a word. They knew very well that these fighter planes would basically never come back after taking off, but all the Japanese pilots still took off because of their duty as soldiers.

At some point, tears began to flow from the eyes of many people, and some people began to sing in a low voice.

"You and I are cherry blossoms of the same period, blooming in the courtyard of the same military school,

I have already realized that I will thank you immediately, let's scatter calmly for the sake of the country.

You and I are cherry blossoms of the same period, blooming in the same courtyard of the military school
Flesh and blood are connected without distinction, so why do they have to separate after such a close relationship?

You and I are cherry blossoms of the same period, blooming in the courtyard of the same air force
Looking up at the sunset that burns like flames

The number of those escort clusters alone is not much different from all the fighters of their own. How can this battle be fought?
"I wish you success! Remember, even if there is only one plane left in the sky today, let the people of China know the courage of the pilots of the Empire of Japan!" Xiangshan and Saburo ordered in a seemingly calm tone, but when he saw each other When I saw the fleet, my heart still couldn't help trembling.

It is the Chinese bomber group, the distance is about [-] kilometers, the altitude is [-]... ready to intercept! "

This is also all the air power in my hands. Now I officially hand over the command of this fleet to you. I have only one request, that is, I don’t want to see a Japanese plane in Shanxi after this bombing. You Can it be done? "

As a soldier, he certainly knows what this aircraft group means to Gao Hongming. Now that Gao Hongming entrusts him to himself, it means that he has handed over the Liantai militia and his own fate to him, a foreigner. The fate of the entire Liantai militia will be disastrous.

Just when Doolittle was deep in thought, an excited voice came from the headset.

Furthermore, China and the United States are now allies.

What he didn't know was that the reason why Gao Hongming did this was also a helpless move.

He searched the entire flight corps and couldn't find a commander with experience in commanding large aircraft groups.

The landline that can never wait for you to come back..."

With a positive expression, Gao Hongming patted him on the shoulder vigorously, pointed to the densely packed aircraft group on the runway and said: "There are 25 B-96 bombers, 36 Stuka dive bombers, 47 P72 fighters, F6F There are 24 fighter jets, a total of 228 aircraft.

Looking at Gao Hongming's dignified expression, Doolittle felt for the first time the heavy pressure from something called "new appointment".

"Enemy plane... north-southeast direction!"

"Hi!"

The only thing he could do was to solemnly pay a military salute to Gao Hongming, and then boarded the plane.

"Report...report...airplane.

That's right, through the clouds, a large group of silver-white planes was flying towards the fleet. It was the interceptor fleet of the Japanese army, and it was also the last air force of the Japanese in Shanxi.

The Liantai Flying Corps is really too young, so young that even if they want to find a commander who can take the lead, they can't find it.

Looking at the huge fleet in the distance, all the Japanese pilots felt a chill in their hearts. The opponent's bomber fleet was not only huge, but also had a large number of escort fleets.

In the sky, Doolittle sitting on a B-25 bomber looked at the densely packed bomber fleet through the window of the cabin, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Of course!"

Everyone understands that this battle will determine the ownership of the Shanxi sky, and the loser will completely lose the war in Shanxi, and can only watch the opponent's planes wreak havoc above their own.

As an American, Dolittle certainly didn't know that there is a saying in China called "a scholar dies for his confidant", but this did not prevent him from experiencing this emotion, after all, human emotions are common.

This operation was ordered by Gao Hongming himself, and he still clearly remembers that he was a little surprised and asked the other party: "Your Excellency, if I read correctly, this is already all the air power in your hands, do you really want to use it?" Will such an important force be entrusted to my command?"

As the commander-in-chief, Huang Huaimin was crippled and couldn't fly the plane into the air at all, let alone the captains who were quickly promoted. It was okay for them to command a fleet of several or dozens of planes, but Commanding a large fleet of several hundred aircraft including bombers, fighter jets, etc. is not enough.

After counting and counting, only Doolittle, the gringo, is the most suitable, because he comes from later generations. He knows very well that Doolittle, who has decades of flying experience and can even make airplanes by himself, is the best flight commander in the world. one.

The voice of the pilot came from the headset.

Commanding a large aircraft fleet like this may be difficult for others, but for Doolittle, it is as easy as eating and drinking. Since he has such a useful candidate in his hand, wouldn't he be stupid if he didn't use it?

The pilots in the fleet all looked in that direction.

"Attention the whole team, immediately climb to 4000 meters altitude, this is the heavy bomber of the Chinese people, implement dive tactics, disperse the enemy bomber group."

The answers of the pilots came out from the headset, and then all the fighters immediately began to climb rapidly.

The fighter jets that were originally flying in formation also began to change their formation. In a small formation, they flew in all directions like a goddess scattering flowers. Dense formation has always been the only way for bombers to deal with fighter jets, and it is also the evil of fighter pilots. Dream.

When attacking this formation, even the bravest pilots have to bite the bullet and go up.

In fact, the best tactic to deal with dense formations is to use anti-aircraft artillery or a large number of fighter jets to disrupt the formation and break the powerful firepower network composed of dense formations, but the current Japanese army no longer has this condition.

Thinking of this, Xiang Shan and Saburo couldn't help cursing at the base camp in their hearts. If they could detect the deterioration of the situation in Shanxi in time and replenish them with planes, pilots and even more advanced fighter planes in time, they wouldn't need to risk using such dangerous tactics to disperse the enemy planes. up.
