My Head of the Huaxia Expeditionary Force

Chapter 605
From the very beginning, Liao Mingyu planned to play big, not only to take down the whole of Yangon, but also the few cruisers at sea.

Anyway, some time ago, a large amount of equipment and ammunition was produced from the Heihe base, and consumption is no longer a problem. It happened to let the little devil try something new in this battle.

It is conceivable that when the old Baga of Terauchi Shouyi learned that his Yangon garrison and the supporting naval fleet were wiped out, the expression on his face should be very exciting, maybe he would have a stroke of anger .

It's a pity that the idea is always good, but the reality is often not satisfactory.

Just as the first attack echelons in the air ran out of ammunition and were preparing to return, a large number of Japanese fighter planes came from the southeast. These were the seventh and ninth battalions of the Japanese Army Aviation that took off from Singapore. Their purpose was to support the Yangon battlefield. Deter Allied air threats.

Although the two aviation brigades were no longer full, they still managed to collect [-] fighters of various types, and a dozen of them were zero-types borrowed from the navy.

The enemy plane roared down from the clouds and fired at the Allied planes involuntarily, and the battle situation took a sudden turn for the worse.

Many Allied pilots who were attacked quickly fell into a disadvantage because they could not dodge in time, and several of them were shot down one after another...

"Has the rescue team passed by?" Seeing a few more parachutes in the sky, Liao Mingyu asked anxiously.

"Report Junzuo, three search and rescue teams have been dispatched, and they are rushing to that sea area." The staff officer replied immediately.

"Go ahead, send a few more rescue teams, let them be faster, and rescue the pilot at all costs!" Liao Mingyu said firmly with his eyes burning.

"Yes!" The staff officer didn't dare to be careless, and immediately ran to arrange orders after agreeing.

It's no wonder that Liao Mingyu was anxious. For him who owns the system factory, the plane can be rebuilt after being destroyed, but the pilot is different.

It is not a simple matter to cultivate and train a skilled fighter pilot. Leaving aside a lot of manpower and material resources, time alone cannot be solved in a short period of time.

In addition, there are only a few people in our aviation team. There are rich planes but not enough pilots.

The battle has lasted for quite a while, and many of the pilots who parachuted were on the sea in the battle zone, and it was impossible for them to return alive without rescue.

Fortunately, it was near the sea, and the rescue team of the 88th Army had already prepared many rubber boats, and immediately headed in that direction after seeing the umbrella bag in the sky open.

Due to the consumption of ammunition and fuel in the first attack echelon of the Allied Forces, they had to withdraw from the battlefield one by one. However, the second batch of battle formations joined only 35 planes and were intercepted by Japanese fighter planes. This gave the Devils fleet a chance to breathe .

Seeing that the Shiraku-class destroyer and Myoko began to sink, the burner of Ashigara No. [-], which was already wounded, also exploded. Black smoke billowed from the hull, corpses littered the deck, and the wreckage of destroyed equipment was scattered all over the place. The only The only one that is still well preserved is the other heavy cruiser Haguro.

A large number of sailors were exposed to the water and struggling to survive. While the fleet commander ordered rescue, he also asked the troops to prepare for the evacuation.

In this era where the caliber is the truth, it may not be possible to let battleships, cruisers, and other powerful ships attack each other for a long time, but the threat of a large number of fighters to ships is even far greater than the former.

They were really terrified of being beaten. If this momentum continues, it may be difficult for these ships of their own to retreat completely.

After a while, the heavy cruiser Haguro turned its bow and started heading southeast. The injured Ashigara and the remaining two Shiraku-class destroyers followed closely behind, fleeing like a group of bereaved dogs.

Liao Mingyu gritted his back teeth when he saw the opposing navy fleet preparing to run away with buckets. He was so angry that he didn't grasp such a good opportunity.

"Let the air defense teams of each unit get ready, and also notify Mandalay Airport, so that all returning fighter squadrons are equipped with anti-air weapons, and rush back to the battlefield as quickly as possible!"

"Yes!"

After finishing the order, Liao Mingyu raised his binoculars and stared at the sky again. If he didn't catch your navy fleet, then leave all your air force fighters here!
The fierce battle in the air continued. Although the Japanese air force had some pre-emptive advantages, most of the Japanese pilots were novice pilots with little flying experience at all.

The current situation of the little devil is very embarrassing, especially in the air force, attrition is inevitable in a long war.

Coupled with their concept of Bushido spirit, many pilots obviously could choose to parachute to escape after being hit, but they are all obsessed with hitting it, loyal to the shit emperor and perishing with the enemy.

This also led to a large number of their excellent pilots being slowly exhausted in various aviation operations, until the later stage of the war when there were surplus aircraft but no pilots.

Flying a plane is not a job that can be done by just finding someone with mud legs and training. After overcoming physical indicators, at least one must be educated and understand machinery to operate the equipment on the plane.

For this reason, the little devil did not hesitate to recruit many domestic college students, ranging from [-] to [-] years old, and did not require them to be highly skilled, as long as they could fly the plane into the sky and fly towards the sea Just hit the target.

Originally, most of the army aviation pilots of the Japanese army were to be sent to the Philippines to carry out the mission of the "Kamikaze Special Forces". Due to the crisis in the Yangon battlefield, they had to be used as firefighters.

It took Terauchi Shouichi a long time to piece things together before he managed to form a fighter formation with more than 60 sorties, but most of them were novices.

They didn't even pass the firing training, and they were told by veterans how to control the machine gun to shoot when they were about to board the plane. At the end, they didn't forget to add a sentence: If necessary, they will run into the enemy and be loyal to His Majesty the Emperor!

It is conceivable that such a group of fake goods can be imagined in a real battle.

After evading the first wave of sneak attacks, the Allied pilots also discovered that the enemy did not have much air combat skills at all, and could easily get rid of the opponent's lock. Isn't this a group of rookies?

The Allied pilots who came back to their senses began to take advantage of their own aircraft types and skills to launch a counterattack. After a while...the ones falling down with black smoke turned into Japanese aircraft.

Some smart guys contacted the ground troops by radio, and directly led the Japanese planes behind their buttocks to the 88th Army's air defense position.

Seeing that the opponent lowered the altitude and flew at low altitude, the Japanese pilots had no experience and followed them without explanation. Without accidents, they were quickly hit by the anti-aircraft guns on the ground into fireballs.

Because the first batch of attack echelons had returned, the Allied aircraft were at a disadvantage compared with the enemy in terms of numbers, and some of them were still P40s fully loaded with aerial bombs, which greatly affected the maneuverability, and they could only establish their advantages through cooperation as much as possible.
