Age of Rebirth

Lieutenant Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, the commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, paid a heavy price for his arrogance. If it weren't for his stubborn belief that the amount of fuel carried by the long-distance fighter jets of the Japanese Navy would not be enough to support an air battle, As for ordering the fleet's carrier-based aircraft to adopt dogfighting tactics, under normal circumstances, Le Yiqin's first attack wave fleet would not be able to take advantage of such a big advantage.

As soon as the air battle started, Le Yiqin stared at the landline of Heishan Hirozo. Although there was no special mark on this guy's landline, he was in the command position, and four Japanese carrier-based planes circled around for protection. There is already a group in the air, and the Japanese fleet is in a passive position, and they are not seen joining the air battle, which is conspicuous enough.

The principle of Major General Le Yiqin, the militant, is to capture the thief first, and the king is captured first. He hit the gas pedal fiercely, and the fighter plane trembled suddenly, rushing towards the direction of Heishan Dazuo, and the huge acceleration crushed him to death. On the seat, at the same time issued an order, "Wingman cover, follow me to kill that big fish!"

Le Yiqin's two wingman pilots spent the whole day scrambling in the sky with the commander, cooperating tacitly as if they were alone. With Le Yiqin's sudden movement, the two fighter jets did not fall even half a step away, and the three fighter planes flew at full speed. The fighter jet, like a cheetah, swooped over, three to five, and Le Yiqin was not afraid, burning with the passion of fighting.

The wingman of Montenegro spotted the three Grand Division fighters rushing towards them, and immediately greeted them aggressively. Perhaps because they were too bold, they actually came to meet each other head-on. The head of the first fighter regiment, Colonel Wu Zhixian , just shot down a Japanese carrier-based aircraft, turned around and saw this scene, and the whole body was covered in cold sweat. [

"My God, the commander has started to go crazy again, three planes against five planes. It's dangerous enough," he hurriedly ordered: "The third squadron of a large group will immediately reinforce the commander. If the commander breaks the skin, you Just don't come back!"

Le Yiqin pulls the machine head.The fighter plane dexterously avoided a Japanese carrier-based plane that was rushing over. The target did not change, and it still rushed towards the Black Mountain plane. Pi Er didn't even touch a bit.He was too busy to stop Le Yiqin's fighter plane, and forgot about the wingmen behind him, a few strings, happily got into the belly of the Japanese carrier-based plane, and another cloud of smoke exploded in the air.

Montenegro was concentrating on observing the air combat situation, and the more he looked at it, the colder he felt, for more than ten minutes.More than 60 carrier-based aircraft have been knocked out by Chinese fighter jets, and the loss is close to that of a wing. It cannot continue like this.Looking at the fighter planes of the Chinese people, it looks like they are running out of fuel, it's really fucking hell.

"Commander, the air battle is not good for me. The carrier-based aircraft formation requests to withdraw from the battle." Heishan is a hero who does not suffer from the immediate loss and retreats.He didn't even have time to dodge the action, Le Yiqin's fighter jet spewed out three tongues of flame, and went straight into Heishan's landline.

More than 100 rounds of large-caliber machine guns shredded the body of the "Type 200" carrier-based aircraft, and there was a loud "boom".Montenegro, together with his landline, turned into a mass of burning debris over the Andaman Sea. Le Yiqin's fighter plane passed through the smoke cloud, drifted away, and opened fire at more than [-] meters. Well, the two planes collided.

Le Yiqin's bold action frightened the six pilots of the third squadron of the first brigade of the Wu Zhixian regiment who came to support, so that their foreheads were covered with cold sweat, "My dear, no wonder there is a rumor in the Southern Flying Group that as long as the commander is one The battlefield is a complete lunatic, I have seen it today, and I admire it!" The two wingman pilots of Le Yiqin are not surprised, they are used to it.

The air battle has been going on for more than 40 minutes. The formation of Japanese carrier-based aircraft has been beaten to pieces. There are Japanese carrier-based aircraft being chased by the two planes of the Chinese Army Division everywhere. After Le Yiqin killed Montenegro, he immediately returned to the command position. Looking around the air combat battlefield, the overall situation is very favorable, and more than 70 Japanese carrier-based aircraft have been shot down.

However, he was relieved that none of his first echelon was shot down. He saw that there were more than [-] fighter jets on his own side, which were obviously injured. Yan, ruthlessly chasing the little devil's carrier-based plane, he immediately ordered, "All damaged fighters immediately withdraw from the battle and return, judge the status of your own plane, if you can't fly back to Myitkyina Airport, parachute north of Yangon .”

Le Yiqin is very aware of her subordinates. If they are not ordered to withdraw from the battle, they will fight to the end. As long as they are not parachuting in the Andaman Sea, the safety of the pilots, there is no need to worry at all. Except for Yangon and the Malay Peninsula, all It is the control area of ​​​​the ** Division troops.

The situation of the air battle stunned Hasegawa Kiyoshi. He looked at one after another of the Imperial Navy carrier planes exploding or falling into the sea. He was going crazy. He grabbed a staff officer by the neck and shook it vigorously. Ignoring the unlucky guy whose face was turning purple from suffocation, he roared in a changed voice: "Answer me, what's going on? Why can the Chinese fighter jets still conduct air combat? Their fuel, fuel!"

Kiyoshi Hasegawa didn't understand, and the staff officer who was about to faint was even more confused. The face of Rear Admiral Sato, the commander of the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Fleet, was as white as paper, "conspiracy, trap," in his mind, non-stop He didn't understand why the Chinese fighter jets persisted for so long, and even put on a posture that they would not give up until they killed the carrier-based aircraft.

It's terrible. Even if the commander of China's aircraft fleet wants to die with the fleet's carrier-based aircraft in this way, or parachute after running out of fuel, the price they pay is too high. The gain outweighs the loss, unreasonable, but crazy The commander of China's aircraft fleet did just that. If the fight continues, all the capital in his hands will be wiped out!

Furthermore, the fuel of the carrier-based aircraft will not last long, and he cannot allow the excellent pilots of the empire to be buried with these lunatic pilots of China. This time, he did not ask Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi for instructions, and directly issued an order: "Black Mountain Commander, I ordered the formation to return to the ship immediately," there was no answer from the headset.

Sato was in a hurry, and repeated the order sternly. After a few seconds, a voice that was obviously not from Montenegro replied: "Reporting to the commander, the commander of Montenegro has been broken, and he is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor. I am the deputy commander of the formation, Yamada Hiroichi. , " Sato's eyes darkened, he shook a few times, and barely stabilized his body.

Heishan Guangzao is not only an excellent carrier-based aircraft pilot, but also an excellent air commander, and he is also his most important deputy. One is on the aircraft carrier and the other is in the air. , "Nakasa Yamada, I appoint you as the formation commander, and lead the fleet to return immediately," Sato couldn't help hesitating, he immediately ordered.

Keeping the rest of the planes is serious, and Sato has also seen that, no matter how monstrous the Chinese fighter jets are, to support such a long air battle, the fighter jets alone will not cause much damage to the entire fleet, and the Chinese fighter jets are the best Come and catch up, the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower can avenge the jade broken imperial pilots!

Sato ordered again: "The fleet immediately prepares for air defense combat, and intercepts the Chinese fighter jets. Hurry up!"

Le Yiqin saw the plan of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft formation, and immediately ordered: "All formations, pay attention, the little devil wants to run, grab the little devil's carrier-based aircraft in front of him, and kill him. No one can chase him. It's almost over!"

Sato stood in the command room of the "Yunhui" aircraft carrier, watching the planes that landed one after another with pain in his heart. Nearly 74 carrier-based aircraft took off. On the "Yunhui", there were 50 However, there are less than [-] flying back now. In just over [-] minutes of air combat, the loss is more than one-third. The loss is heavy, and it is a big loss! [

The tragedy continued. A severely damaged carrier-based aircraft was trailing black smoke like a long tail. When it was on the ship, it did not control its speed well. It may be that part of the control system was damaged, but the speed did not decrease. Like a drunk man, he staggered towards the plane parked on the deck, "Boom boom!" There were several loud bangs, and several clusters of smoke mixed with dark red flames rose from the deck of the aircraft carrier.

Well, four more carrier-based aircraft were reimbursed. Fortunately, the pilot had already disembarked. Otherwise, he would have become the first group of unlucky war casualties in the history of the Japanese Navy. Sato closed his eyes in pain, and now he strangled Kiyoshi Hasegawa to death. "It wasn't this arrogant, stubborn narcissist who issued that bullshit order and could have such a big loss!" But he didn't dare, not even dare to complain.

The adjutant had already counted the losses, and handed it to Sato with a sad face. Even though Sato was mentally prepared, he was staggered in fright. In an air battle, 75 carrier-based aircraft were shot down and 67 were severely damaged. So, More than half of the carrier-based aircraft of the Third Fleet were lost, and only fifty or so aircraft were still able to take to the air.

Sato's legs were weak, and it took him a while to order the adjutant, "Report the loss statistics to Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi, and let him have a look!" These few words, Sato almost gritted his teeth, "I feel bad, you Hasegawa Kiyoshi Don't be uncomfortable, let me show you, this is the result of your meddling in air combat command!" He thought viciously.

The sky was calm, and Le Yiqin looked at the fuel gauge. It was time to return, and his work was done. It was time for the second echelon and bomber formation to enter the field. Severe damage to the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and immediately start the second phase of the attack! Please give instructions!"

In the earphones, Tang Qiuli's joyful voice came, "Okay, Le Yiqin, well done, let's implement it according to the original plan!"! ~!
