Above the battlefield.
A flight formation consisting of 24 Type 96 fighter jets was flying in the airspace of Song Jiang.
The Japanese army had more than 200 land-based aircraft on the battlefield in Shanghai, including a portion of the bomber fleet from Taiwan. The number of fighter jets was only about 100.
Sending a quarter of the fighter jets to the Song Jiang battlefield was already a considerable support for the Song Jiang battlefield.
Right now, the Japanese army on the Songhu battlefield was in full pursuit of the retreating national army. They needed air support everywhere, and many fighter planes were used as reconnaissance planes.
If it weren't for the appearance of the Hell's Angel, if it weren't for the fact that they would never return, even a little bit of news would be 32 bomber planes, the Army Air Force would have had difficulty agreeing to the request for help from the Sixth Division.
The fighter unit dispatched this time was the 13th Air Force sent by the Japanese army to participate in the Second Joint Air Force of the Battle of Shanghai. The captain of the Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel Okubo.
Due to the appearance of a mysterious large aircraft from China, Lieutenant Colonel Okubo personally led the air force out.
The first was to shoot down the plane, and the second was to see the performance of the plane. Based on the description of the plane by the army, the higher-ups of the Japanese aviation were quite interested.
According to the army's intelligence, this plane was very large. It had four engines and a wide body. A large amount of ground firepower was placed on both sides of the body. Its lethality to ground troops was quite shocking.
Moreover, its endurance was very strong. So far, the plane was still faintly hovering over the Song Jiang battlefield.
Just as Okubo was considering what kind of plane it would be, the co-pilot behind him said,""Lieutenant, we just received a message from the Sixth Division. The plane disappeared over Song Jiang. The 6th division would launch another ground attack in five minutes.”
Okubo frowned and said,""It's possible that they don't need to replenish fuel. This time, we are supporting Song Jiang. It's best if we can meet them. If we can't meet them, we will support the ground forces.”
Okubo picked up his communication device and informed the other planes of the message that the Sixth Division had just sent. The voices of the Japanese fighter pilots rang out in the communication channel.
"Lieutenant, this is a bit of a coincidence."
"I heard that the thirty-two bomber planes of the First United Air Force disappeared without a trace. I think there's a big problem.”
"What problem could there be? Could it be that the national army has sent out all the fighter jets? But that wouldn't be enough to keep the First United Air Force.”
" We are the strongest. Even if the enemy has any schemes, they will be crushed in front of the powerful air force of the Imperium.”
……
Okubo was very satisfied with the reactions of his pilots as he listened to the various voices coming from the wireless communication device. They were the elites of the Empire, brave, skilled, and intelligent.
However, Okubo did not dare to be careless in this mission. Although thirty-two bomber planes were a little cumbersome, the air force of the national army could not take them all.
Now that it had disappeared without a trace, there was indeed a big problem inside. If it was lost in the hands of the enemy, it meant that the enemy had very powerful firepower.
Just as Okubo picked up the phone and was about to remind everyone to be more vigilant, an exclamation sounded from the radio communication device. Twelve o'clock, high in the sky."
As the voice rang out, the radio communication device instantly fell silent. Everyone looked up at the sky ahead.
At the end of the cloudless sky, a small gray dot was gradually becoming clear.
Okubo quickly took out his binoculars. When he saw the appearance of the dot in the distance, he was shocked.
On both sides of the huge aircraft, a large number of weapons were arranged, looking like hedgehogs. The huge aircraft was currently flying towards them.
Okubo quickly picked up the radio communication device and prepared to inform the other planes that the enemy planes were attacking.
However, when he pressed the button to speak, a busy tone came from the communication device. At the same time, the earphones in his ears also made an ear-piercing buzzing sound.
The co-pilot behind him was even more anxious because the radio stations in the co-pilot's cabin had all suffered strong interference. They could not receive any radio signals at all, nor could they send out any messages.
Okubo only then realized that the pilots of several fighter jets nearby were making inquiring gestures at him. He could only immediately make a welcoming gesture.
The 24 Type 96 fighter jets quickly spread out and began to climb towards the Hell's Angel.
The Japanese fleet at the bottom could only climb up quickly, and the Hell Angel's speed was not slow either. At 500 to 600 kilometers per hour, it was faster than the Type 96 fighter jet's 530 kilometers per hour.
When the Hell Angel sped up and approached, the Japanese pilots on the Type 96 fighter jet were shocked to find that the two sides were approaching at an extremely fast speed. It was not that their fighter jet was faster, but that the other side was faster.
And no matter how they climbed, the huge plane was always at a higher level than them.
This made it impossible for all the Type 96 fighter jets to attack.
