Age of Rebirth

The third wave of attacks by the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division has completely exceeded Sato's imagination. He can't understand how the Chinese Air Commander designed such a precise and accurate combat method, one after another, first Destroy all the carrier-based aircraft in the fleet, then consume anti-aircraft firepower, and finally, use the bomber fleet to carry out a devastating blow to the fleet. - -

The connection between the various links is smooth and natural, without any blockage, and the timing and timing are just right. From the very beginning, the Third Fleet fell into the trap of the Chinese, without carrier-based aircraft and anti-aircraft firepower His fleet is like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and can only be slaughtered.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, a heavy air bomb landed on the flagship deck of the "Asahi". Sato saw with his own eyes that the main gun turret on the front deck, the protective steel plate and the naval gun flew into the air like a blow. This was just the beginning , One after another, the air bombs fell on the warship continuously, with flames everywhere and black smoke filled the air. The huge warship seemed to be hit continuously by a violent boxer, left and right.

As a veteran naval aviation commander, Sato knows all too well what the end result will be when a warship that has lost its protection and self-defense capabilities is hit by hundreds of bombers continuously. This is just the beginning. Next, torpedo bombers , level bombers, and dive bombers attack in turn, especially torpedo bombers. Two torpedoes can send the "Asahi" into the nearby sea.

Sato closed his eyes, and the earth-shattering explosion outside seemed to have gone away. He waited, waited for the warship under his feet to be lifted up by a strong force, and then fell back to the sea. Submerging himself, at this moment, he actually felt a sense of relief, a calmness in the face of death.It is also the help that cannot change fate. [

The hull shook violently, and the adjutant stumbled to his side and said in a low voice: "General, Commander-in-Chief Ito is calling. Ask how the fleet is doing now? And, he said in the telegram that the Imperial Southeast Asian Air Force has already More than [-] fighter jets have taken off and are rushing to the air combat area at full speed."

Sato shook his head with a wry smile, sighed, and said to the adjutant: "Call Commander Ito back. The fleet is under fierce attack by bombers from the Imperial Division. It is only a matter of time before all the jade pieces are broken. Thank you, Commander-in-Chief, for your great help." After finishing the order, he murmured to himself dreamily, "What are you doing here, are you here to see the jokes of the Imperial Navy?"

Sato is an expert, a fighter jet that took off from Hainan Island Airport.It will take more than an hour at the fastest to arrive at the airspace of the Andaman Sea.The Chinese bombers were able to bomb the Third Fleet twice. When the army fighters arrived, they could only see the oil on the sea and the floating corpses of sailors.

Sato, who had already embraced the mortal heart, calmed down instead. He asked the adjutant with an expression, "How many warships do we have left that have not been sunk? Are the three aircraft carriers still there?" Knowing that it was the result of the annihilation of the entire army, he Still can't help but ask.It's subconscious.

The adjutant replied: "Commander, so far, although our warships have been seriously injured, they are all superficially damaged. None of them have sunk, including the three aircraft carriers. The power systems have not been damaged, and they can still maintain Sailing, it’s just that the bombers of the Chinese are focusing on the troop convoy, where are the main attacks concentrated!”

Sato suddenly got up, and asked in disbelief: "What? None of our warships were sunk? You read it right, right?" Sato was confused again. Nearly a thousand fighter jets and bombers attacked the Third Fleet in the Andaman Sea for more than two and a half hours, but did not sink a single warship. Who would believe it?

Is it just for the troop convoy?Unreasonable, from a military or political point of view, the value and influence of killing the Third Fleet exceeds that of a mere hundred civilian ships. On par with the entire Third Fleet?

Sato's head shook like a rattle, "Don't comfort me, the matter has come to this point, I can accept any result, and I am ready to live and die with the fleet."

Seeing that Sato didn't believe his words, the adjutant picked up a telescope, handed it to Sato, and said, "Commander, you can see everything with your own eyes, and you will understand everything." Sato looked over from the command room, and the entire Third Fleet could tell He was in such a mess, every warship was billowing with black smoke, and the three aircraft carriers he cared about most were no exception, it was heart-wrenching to watch.

However, judging from the sailing posture of the warship, it was obvious that it was not seriously injured. Although the posture of avoiding the bomb that fell from the sky was very awkward, it was still agile. He muttered to himself: "Impossible, how could none of them be sunk? After more than two hours of attack and bombing, don't the Chinese fighter jets carry torpedoes?"

Sato absolutely did not believe that the commander of the China Air Force who designed such a perfect battle plan would make such a low-level mistake. There were no torpedo bombers in the bomber formation, but the fact happened. It is a miracle that one ship became a pile of scrap metal at the bottom of the Andaman Sea!

If one had to find a reason to explain this miracle, it could only be the manifestation of Amaterasu, His Majesty the Emperor, but did Sato believe such nonsense?He didn't know it himself, but when he heard General Sato talking to himself, the adjutant rolled his eyes and said, "What do you mean? Does the Third Fleet have to be killed by Chinese bombers to kill a few warships before the Commander will feel normal. Can he be satisfied? Who is this? His brain is not broken like Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi, is it?"

If Sato knew that Tang Qiuli, who commanded the big battle in a humble house in a small town northwest of Yangon, had already regarded the Third Fleet as his own, he would be able to fully understand the current situation of the Third Fleet. How can you be willing to beat your own things to death?

Sato shook his head. For the first time in his life, he felt that his brains were not enough to explain this weirdness. He turned his binoculars to the direction of the troop carrier. Looking at it from his angle, in the sky, there are no less than 100 bombers of the Grand Division, which are throwing and diving in turn, and the sea surface stirs up water columns that soar into the sky.

And my warships, in order to avoid such ferocious bombing, stayed far away from these troop carriers, for fear that the bomb would not have eyes and would fall on me, not to mention, there were bombers from the Grand Division, who came to take care of them from time to time, although The accuracy is not good, but when an aerial bomb lands, there will be a burst of flames and thick smoke. You can only see these, and you can't see the more specific ones clearly.

In fact, you don’t need to look clearly, Sato also knows what kind of tragic scene it is. An unarmed civilian ship without self-defense capabilities, in front of the bomber, is similar to a young beauty in front of a group of burly men, only to be ravaged. With no power to resist, the Third Fleet was too busy to take care of itself. It was already in the position of being beaten, so it still had the ability to protect civilian ships. Those infantrymen could only ask for more blessings.

Sato didn't care about the fate of the infantry on the troop carrier, and he didn't care about it. It was a joke, he was almost drowning, and he didn't care about others capsized?Although that was also a soldier of the Empire, he was thinking about the next step of the Third Fleet.

It is rare for Le Yiqin not to lead the first echelon in person to face the fighter group of the Southeast Asian Expeditionary Air Force, which took off from Hainan Island. Said that it was very uncomfortable, but he had to stay at the control tower of Myitkyina Airport.

Right now, the battlefield has been divided into two parts. Le Yiqin is not worried about the last wave of attacks on the Third Fleet. The little devil's warship has been disarmed. It is just a piece of meat on the chopping board. The only thing that worried him was that he was afraid that those bomber pilots would turn red-eyed and send all the little devil's warships to the bottom of the sea. In that case, wouldn't the commander skin himself? [

The second battlefield is where the first echelon fights against the little devil fighter group coming from the direction of Hainan Island. Although its own fighters have an advantage in the number of fighters, the advantage is not great. This is a head-to-head air battle. The entire operation, because of this accident With the emergence of factors, the battle damage will also increase a lot, but this is a battle that must be fought.

Otherwise, the bomber group on the way back will be overtaken by the little devil's fighter group on the way, and the entire army will not be wiped out, and the loss will definitely exceed imagination. It seems that when formulating the entire battle plan, I still consider It's not comprehensive, and a key link is missed. No wonder the commander always warns himself, "You are the commander, you should consider the issue of the battle from the perspective of the overall situation, and don't always think about rushing, killing, etc. for your own pleasure! "

Le Yiqin blamed herself a little, and her mood became more and more irritable. A communication staff officer ran over, "Commander, the teacher called you!" Le Yiqin was taken aback. At this time, why did the teacher ask him for it?According to the division commander's habit, after the battle started, there was no emergency, or there was a major change in the enemy's situation, and it would not interfere with the normal command of the front-line commanders.

Le Yiqin arrived in the communication room, picked up the red telephone receiver, "Master, this is Le Yiqin, do you have any important instructions?"

On the other end of the phone, Tang Qiuli laughed heartily and said, "Yiqin, you seem to be lacking in confidence. It's rare that you didn't deafen my ears during the call. The Japanese military planes have increased their troops in the Andaman Sea. How about it, can you bear it? Don’t worry, in war, you have to die. Of course, as an excellent commander, you must minimize the casualties of soldiers.”
