Age of Rebirth

The first thousand and 140 chapters of Chennai's confrontation

General Genzaburo Ito, the commander-in-chief of Japan’s Southeast Asian Expedition Army, knows the importance of time to him. Only by defeating or destroying the independent division troops before the arrival of the eastern troops of the independent division, can he complete the occupation of northern Myanmar and control the central and southern regions The peninsula's plan, therefore, he knew that the independent division troops blocking him had already increased their strength, so he still took the initiative to attack.

The first attack on the morning of July [-] can be regarded as a tentative attack by Ito on the line of defense of the troops commanded by Tang Qiusheng, because Ito did not invest a large number of tanks and artillery, and after being violently blocked, the Japanese army did not Adopt the method of continuous attack and continue to storm the positions of the independent division troops.

Instead of retreating immediately, Tang Qiusheng put down the binoculars in his hand on a mountain less than six kilometers north of Wubin, and said to Chang Feng: "Chang Feng, Ito's attack this time is tentative, order The troops on the first blocking line immediately retreated to the second position. The artillery unit used half of its firepower to suppress the Japanese artillery. The rest, waiting for the command of the command, covered the first line of defense with artillery fire. Let Ito suffer a little bit."

Chang Feng took it for granted. It was obvious that the first blocking position was the main force to repel the Japanese attack. All the firepower points and position settings would be exposed to the Japanese commander. Next, they would be subjected to heavy Japanese artillery bombardment. The deputy division commander's move was very clever. It not only reduced the casualties of the troops, but also dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese troops who thought they had occupied the position. [

Chang Feng picked up the phone, and after giving the order, a confidential staff officer hurriedly handed him a telegram. Chang Feng glanced at it quickly, and said to Tang Qiusheng: "Deputy commander, the teacher pointed out that the call is over. The Degang battle is over. The entire Japanese army was wiped out, and only one was spared. Under the command of the commander Le Yiqin, the Southern Aviation Group of the Air Force, with two bomber regiments and five fighter regiments, launched a large-scale air strike on the Japanese army in Wubin. Please let us immediately Establish ground-air contact and indicate the target at any time, and the division commander is leading the troops in Degang on the way to Ubin."

Tang Qiusheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh, the Battle of Degang is over, and the aviation unit joined the battle. In the battle of Wubin, we have to change our style of play. Chang Feng, change the order just now, and the artillery unit will continue to hide and wait, mainly to find out the Japanese army The location of the artillery position and the task of destroying the Japanese artillery and infantry are left to Le Yiqin and the others, contact Le Yiqin immediately, I want to talk to him."

The air contact radio station was turned on immediately, Tang Qiusheng said: "I am Tang Qiusheng, is this the commander Le Yiqin?" Le Yiqin's high-pitched voice came immediately, "It is me, Deputy Commander Tang, the fleet is flying Wubin Airspace, follow your orders at any time!" "Okay, Yiqin, my ground observation post will give you the approximate direction of the bombing target, the focus is on the Japanese artillery positions and tank clusters, the infantry that launched the charge, your fleet, Stand by above the airspace first, and wait for my instructions."

Le Yiqin was stunned for a moment, dare to say, this Deputy Commander Tang is a person who does not play cards according to common sense, and uses the plane as an infantry. Fortunately, he was prepared when he came, and all the planes were equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks. Otherwise, fly back Kunming is really a problem, he still replied loudly: "Yes, the fleet is on standby in the air, waiting for instructions!"

Ito made careful preparations for the second attack. He transferred two tank regiments and three heavy artillery brigades to the frontal attack direction. The three attacking divisions were already on standby at the front. After arranging these, Ito Said to Chief of Staff Koizumi, "Record, order, Lieutenant General Konan Emura, the commander of the air force of the dispatched army, immediately take off all fighters and bombers and rush to the Ubin airspace to carry out the mission of air strikes on the positions of the Chinese troops. The ground observation post will provide You ordered the bombing target."

Coincidentally, the commanders of both sides used air power. In terms of flight distance, the Japanese aircraft took off from Yangon Airport, and the air flight distance was much shorter than that of the Le Yiqin fleet that took off from Kunming Airport. The only advantage of the division's fleet is the addition of auxiliary fuel tanks, which greatly prolongs the stay in the air. From this point of view, it actually shortens the gap between the two sides' take-off distances.

Ito is going to use all his strength to deal the deadliest blow to the independent division troops on the Wubin defense line. It can be seen that even if the Japanese troops in Degang have all perished, Ito cannot be shaken to break the Wubin defense line. The determination to continue northward to Myitkyina, on the surface, temporarily calmed down on the front line of Ubin.

But from the air to the ground, there is a big war brewing to determine the ownership of northern Myanmar. However, Ito did not expect that the aviation unit of the Independent Division, the Southern Flying Group, would join the Ubin battlefield. For the aviation unit of the Independent Division, Japan and Southeast Asia All the senior generals of the dispatched army had a vaguer impression of the infantry unit of the Independent Division.

In any case, Ito's unit has fought against the ground troops of the Independent Division several times, and it is considered a tie. At least, Chief of Staff Koizumi thinks so, but the aviation of the Independent Division has never been exposed on the battlefield in northern Myanmar. After all, most of the Japanese commanders were still skeptical as to whether Tang Qiuli had a plane.

And Tang Qiuli has long noticed the Japanese air power. When Japanese planes bombed the besieged British in Libao Grand Canyon, this Japanese air power was the target that Tang Qiuli had to clear. On this point, it is doomed that in this Ubin air battle, which is regarded as an encounter, the Japanese aviation unit will definitely not please.

The huge fleet of the Japanese army flew into the air from Yangon Airport. The ground radar station of the Air Defense Force of the Independent Division located in Myitkyina captured the target through the "Sky Eye" radar system, and immediately reported this information to the After leaving the Kunming Ground Command Post, the ground commander at the Kunming Field Airport immediately became nervous.

He immediately called: "Commander Le, I am the ground command post in Kunming. I have received information from the Myitkyina radar station that there are about 340 Japanese aircraft at Yangon Airport flying towards Ubin. It will take about three to ten minutes." After that, you can reach the sky above Wubin, and I will draw the attention of the commander, because the distance is far away, and it is still impossible to distinguish bombers and fighter jets for the time being."

As soon as Le Yiqin heard it, the spirit head came immediately. To be honest, since the first and second groups of the Southern Aviation Air Force stationed in Kunming, Nanning, and Guangzhou airports, they have not won a single battle. In the words of the pilots, " The idle egg hurts, and the whole body is about to grow white hair," Le Yiqin, the supreme commander, said more vividly.

He took Yang Ketian, Chief of Staff of the Independent Division who came to handle official business, to the airport, pointed to the rows of neatly parked fighter jets and said, "Director Yang, go back and tell the division commander, have you seen it? The machine guns on our plane , the muzzle is rusted, if we stay here, the joints of our pilots should be rusted too."

"Anyway, arrange some missions for our aviation unit. Seeing that the ground troops are fighting in full swing, we are bored," Yang Ketian asked in puzzlement, "Commander Le, why don't you challenge the division commander yourself?" Le Yi Qin's face changed drastically, and she quickly waved her hands and said, "Director Yang, don't mention this matter, just pretend that I didn't say anything. Last time, I sent two telegrams to ask for a fight. No, the teacher asked me to go to the maintenance brigade Wipe the plane."

Now, the opportunity finally came, and the division commander really guessed it right. It was a plane with more than 300 little devils. What a piece of fat. He didn’t have enough troops. He immediately called the Nanning ground command post, " I am the commander Le Yiqin, ordering all fighter jets of the Second Flight Group on standby at Nanning Airport to add auxiliary fuel tanks and fly to the airspace of Ubin, northern Myanmar, to convey my words to all pilots, brothers, the fat is here Mouth, come and eat!"

All the aviation ground personnel, who could hear Le Yiqin's words, almost fainted, God, did anyone mobilize before the war like this?Daringly, in the eyes of your Commander Le Da, the more than 300 aircraft of the Japanese army are a piece of oily fat. The bomber group selects the target, and the little devils come with fighter jets, so you fight and retreat quickly, and the bombing effect must be guaranteed."

At this moment, I received a call from Tang Qiusheng, "Yiqin, the Japanese army fleet is flying towards Wubin. Make sure, if the bombers are in danger, you can cancel this air strike mission." Le Yiqin managed to get it Opportunities to fight will be given up there. Besides, the follow-up reinforcements will arrive soon, and he is even more reluctant to get the fat in his hands.

He replied: "Please don't worry, deputy division commander, the air force has made full preparations. I'm going to make dumplings for the little devil's plane in the sky above Wubin." , watching you fight in the air!" [

Le Yiqin is by no means reckless. He absolutely believes that the Japanese fleet has not found his location so far. Although the airborne radar has not found the Japanese aircraft, relying on his years of experience in air combat, he instinctively feels However, the Japanese fleet did not make any changes in course, and then the Myitkyina radar station confirmed his judgment that the course of the large Japanese fleet remained unchanged.

Le Yiqin is even more confident. Now, the five fighter flight regiments in the northern Myanmar airspace have four fighter jets of 280, plus the seven fighter regiments of the second flight group that are coming, more than 700 fighter jets, It is almost double the number of little devil planes. It is not an exaggeration to talk about making dumplings for Japanese military planes.

In the cemetery, on the radar screen in front of Le Yiqin, several small black dots appeared, and then the black dots gradually became clear. From the size and position of the black dots, it was already possible to judge whether it was a fighter jet or a bomber. Le Yiqin sneered, "The little devil's fleet is still flying in a normal attitude, not prepared at all.

Le Yiqin immediately issued a battle order: "Attention the fighter group, prepare to attack. When the little devil fighter is entangled, the bomber group will immediately bomb, and then quickly leave the battlefield and return."
