I really came here to fight against Japan

Another tactic of the Chinese Air Force is to never get entangled with the Zero.

Their new aircraft would fly to the bottom and only level out when they were extremely low.

Then they will take off again until they reach the commanding heights and launch a new round of dive attacks.

This set of movements, which involves ups and downs, tests the physical limits of airmen.

But for the air force in Gannan, this is just a matter of three or four flights, and they said they can handle it.

Sasaki suddenly felt that this tactical move was familiar. How could it be so similar to cavalry tactics...

Damn it, this must be the group of air force from Gannan, coming out to bully the Imperial Army again.

Only they like to use such tactics to fight against the Imperial Army's air force.

Sasaki was thinking about the first wave of traps set by the Gannan Air Force.

A squadron of Zero fighters were directly burned.

There were only eighteen Zero-type fighters left of the ones he brought with him, and two-fifths of them had been damaged in battle.

The second wave was a surprise attack from the air, which first led to the destruction of Matsushima Monbei and his wingman.

Later, his own wingman was destroyed, and three Zero planes crashed.

This means that before our fighter planes even opened fire, we had already lost eighteen of them.

So is it necessary to continue the next aerial fight?

Without his command and that of the two Matsushima squadron captains, the rest of the Zero fighters were in a panic.

They are like headless flies, flying around everywhere.

Facing the P51 Mustang fighter, there was an endless onslaught like a mountain pressing down on one's head.

Not only could the speed of the Zero fighter not be displayed at all.

Even the flying altitude of the Zero fighter was being suppressed lower and lower.

Looking at the Zero planes that were constantly shot down by the Chinese Air Force, Sasaki gradually came to his senses.

He wanted to run back because he had a shocking secret to report to the base camp.

There are definitely moles hidden abroad in the design and manufacturing departments of their Air Force.

Otherwise, where would the Chinese Air Force get the new fighter jets from?

They can restrain the Imperial Navy's Zero fighters both in terms of their own performance and combat tactics.

If there was no traitor who betrayed the Zero, who would have researched this tactic out of thin air?

The second secret is that there must be a spy in the Wuhan Expeditionary Army’s headquarters.

Otherwise, why would their plan to use the Zero fighter to launch a surprise attack on the temporary capital be targeted so much by the Chinese Air Force?

Maybe the person who leaked the secrets...could it be those idiots in the army?

Damn it, it must have been done by those stupid army idiots.

They are jealous of the Navy's Zero and wish everyone a bright future.

That's why they leaked the plan of the navy's new aircraft to bomb the temporary capital today to the agents in the temporary capital.

There is also a very big doubt here, that is, those that are being beaten now are all their navy's Zero fighters.

The more than 70 planes of the Army Aviation were watching from a distance and did not even think of coming over to help.

Isn't this just preparing to watch their own Zero fighter squadron die for their Army Aviation?

Lu Hang: These idiots in the navy have really wronged us.

Both parties had agreed beforehand that the Navy's Zero would take the lead this time.

After destroying the Hawk fighter jets in the temporary capital, their Army Aviation rushed forward to take advantage of the situation.

Now that you have been beaten so badly by the Chinese Air Force, we didn't turn around and run away, which is already very loyal. What else do you want from the HNA?

At this time, the Japanese Army Aviation had already received orders from Wuhan.

The fighter squadron covered the Zero's retreat, and the bomber squadron retreated directly back to Wuhan.

Fighter Squadron: Covering the Zero's retreat? They couldn't defeat the Chinese Air Force, so why do we seem to be able to?

Okay, let’s take over if we can!

But your Navy's Zero fighters have to retreat first before I can pick you up, right?

Don't ask us why we didn't rush forward to rescue Zero.

Those new fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force are simply not something we can handle.

Besides, we are not blind. They have more than a hundred Hawks behind them. Is that something we can provoke?

Song Wenwan: Sasaki, you’ve really had enough.

It is clearly our Chinese Air Force that performed bravely and invincibly today, and you are still blaming others for what they have done.

Why is it so difficult to admit that our Chinese air force is more powerful than your Japanese air force?

Captain Sasaki thought of this and immediately changed the communication channel.

He directly called the radio station of the Japanese Navy Department in Shanghai and informed them of his ideas.

As for the HNA Air Force commander in Wuhan, just ignore him. He is probably in trouble now.

"Navy, naval aviation, I am Captain Sasaki of the Zero Fighter Squadron, who is carrying out the mission of bombing the temporary capital.

The temporary capital had already noticed our attack. We were betrayed. We were dispatched by the Wuhan Expeditionary Force..."

With a loud "bang", Sasaki, who had been free, was hit by at least eight onboard heavy machine guns.

The Zero fighter piloted by Sasaki was hit by Gannan's P51 Mustang, and both the pilot and the plane exploded in mid-air.

He originally wanted to report his suspicions about the Army to the Navy.

But you should have spoken faster when you reported. Before you could finish a sentence, you were killed by the Chinese Air Force.

When this sentence was heard by the Japanese Navy in Shanghai, it took on a different meaning.

Their Zero fighter crews were betrayed by the army's idiots.

This extremely "unfortunate" news was reported to Lao Sanben step by step.

When the Japanese Wuhan Expeditionary Force Command informed the Navy Headquarters of the news that the Zero fighters had been completely wiped out.

The Navy Headquarters announced to the Army Headquarters that all Zero fighters in China would be returned for maintenance.

It is better for your army to fight this battle on their own. Our navy will not serve you.

Although we don't have any evidence that your army betrayed our navy, we just don't want to serve you.

In fact, Sasaki is quite unlucky.

Because his fighter jets have always been on the route of the Mustang fighter jets' "escape".

The air force of Gannan had to descend rapidly from high altitude and then level off, which was inherently dangerous.

If they did not descend to the prescribed altitude, they would rarely turn to engage other Zero fighters.

As luck would have it, Sasaki flew into the flight path of the Mustang.

Even if Gannan's planes did not open fire, they would probably collide with the Zero.

This is a military medal right in front of you. Who would mind that it is hot?

The airmen in Gannan shouted: "Get out of the way, little devils! Don't block my way!"

But they pressed the firing buttons of the heavy machine guns in their hands resolutely.

At a distance of just over 51 meters, the eight heavy machine guns of two P Mustang fighters fired bullets directly into Sasaki's face.

Sasaki died peacefully, but the half sentence he left unfinished caused infighting between the Japanese army and navy for a long time.

Even his superior, the commander of the HNA squadron, was in trouble.

After returning to Shanghai, he was ordered to commit suicide by disembowelment on the pretext of losing the battle.

The real reason was that the senior officers of the Navy believed that the commander of the naval aviation wing was really giving their army too much face.

At this time, the Wuhan Expeditionary Force Headquarters did not know that Sasaki had been beaten to ashes.
