Age of Rebirth

Kawashima is not a professional aviation commander, but he also knows that the speed of the bomber is much slower than that of the fighter. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the bomber of the Grand Division to return, intercepting and killing it midway will receive unexpected results. As for how to do it I realized that as long as the news is reported to Lieutenant General Nomura, the commander of the air force, I believe he will have a solution. After all, he is a professional.

Kawashima glanced at Ito, who was still in a "coma", called the communications officer outside, and said, "In the name of the commander-in-chief, I have issued an order to the commander-in-chief of the Air Force, Lieutenant General Nomura. Return flight, the direction of return flight is Myitkyina Airport in northern Myanmar, and there is no fighter escort, I hope your department will intercept and kill on the way, and completely eliminate this hidden danger." Kawashima knows, there is no need to say anything, as long as the bomber group of the ** division Tell Nomura the time and direction of the return voyage, and he will naturally make corresponding arrangements. Moreover, he has roughly figured out Nomura's psychology, winning a big battle, increasing his worth and bargaining chips, and using such a good opportunity to reveal "Look" to Nomura, he will not refuse such a temptation.

At the command tower of the Myitkyina Field Airport, Le Yiqin called Colonel Liu Zhixiang, the commander of the bomber fleet, "Liu Zhixiang, where are you now? The bomber fleet must speed up the return flight, and the fighters of the two echelons are all devoted to attacking the little devil Hainan Island." In the middle of the battle of the fighter group, you will not have fighter escorts on the way back."

Liu Zhixiang looked at the flight chart, "Commander, my fleet has arrived at the mouth of the Ayeyarwady River, and in three to 10 minutes, it will enter the airspace of Pathein. According to your order, the fleet will turn to the north and return to Kunming Airport."

Le Yiqin said hastily: "Liu Zhixiang, your bomber formation, after reaching the airspace of Pasheng, continue westward and turn to the north in the airspace of Shanduo City. Return along the line of Magway, Mozawa, and Homalin on the west bank of the Irrawaddy River. , remember, you must bypass the airspace of Sagaing and Mandalay, do you understand?" [

Liu Zhixiang was a little puzzled, not sure why.In this way, the voyage of more than 700 kilometers will be increased. Is this necessary?After winning the battle, he looked like a thief and took a detour. He couldn't help but said: "Commander, we will fly more than 700 kilometers. In this way, some crews may have problems with fuel and cannot fly to Kunming Airport. Besides, the little devil's plane was killed by us. Is this necessary?"

Le Yiqin yelled, "Liu Zhixiang, what are you talking about, execute the order, the crew with insufficient fuel, land at Myitkyina Airport!" Liu Zhixiang shrank his head.Xin said: "Commander, what's going on here? After such a big victory, his temper became irritable instead," and he didn't dare to reply.Busy replied loudly: "Yes, resolutely carry out the order, and return to the north in the airspace of Shanduo City."

Le Yiqin and Chuan Dao wanted to go together. Any point along the route from the airspace of the Andaman Sea to the airspace of Mandalay was within the interception range of the Japanese fighter jets from Hainan Island, as long as there was a brigade of little devil fighter jets.The volley that slipped out of the first echelon was for Liu Zhixiang's bomber formation.will be a disaster.

The scheduled interception location of the first echelon was in the airspace of Dafu, which was too close to the return route of the bomber formation. Although the possibility of such a situation was unlikely, he did not dare to be careless, but he did not tell Liu Zhixiang his worries. It's not necessary, Liu Zhixiang's flight group took more detours, which is safer.

After Nomura received Kawashima's telegram, he immediately judged that this was an excellent opportunity, and what made him even more relieved was that a bomber without fighter escort was a flying target. Le Yiqin has fought against each other many times, but she never took advantage of it once, but was beaten badly. This time, it is an opportunity given by God to avenge her shame, how can she let it go!

Nomura looked around on the route map, and "Sadwa" slammed his fist hard on this place name. Sadwa is between Yangon and Mandalay, and it is the must for the bomber fleet of the Imperial Division to return to Myitkyina. The route was also the shortest route for his own fighter jets to intercept. The reason why he did not choose Mandalay was that Nomura was worried that there would be ground air defense firepower of the Grand Division there.

Nomura ordered the combat officer, "Order, Captain Shirakawa of the No.17 Fighter Wing, your wing will immediately leave the fleet, rush to the airspace of Sadwa, and intercept the returning bomber fleet of the ** Division. After completing the interception mission, immediately Returning to Hainan Island Airport, you don’t have to take part in other missions.” A wing of fighter jets is more than enough to deal with hundreds of bombers.

Nomura's order was very strange. He clearly knew that the fleet of the Grand Division was gone in the air above the Andaman Sea, and the last batch of bombers had returned, leaving only the smoldering and burning Third Fleet. He also ordered the main fighter group to , Continue to rush to the Andaman Sea, really inexplicable, incredible?

A senior staff officer put forward his question directly, "Your Excellency Commander, according to the order of Commander-in-Chief Ito, it is obvious that there is no aircraft fleet of the ** division in the airspace of the Andaman Sea. Why is our fighter fleet Instead of going all out to intercept, the returning bomber fleet of the Grand Division rushed to the airspace where there is no enemy, the humble officer doesn't understand the commander's intention?"

Nomura gave the senior staff officer a cold look, and said, "I am carrying out the orders of Commander-in-Chief Ito, and I don't need you to understand that before I receive new orders, I must strictly carry out the previous orders. It's the basic quality of a soldier." Nomura looked at this guy and didn't like it. He was a confidant who was "inserted" by the old guy Ito, and he thought I didn't know, so he came to spy on me.

The senior staff officer took a big bite, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and was right. What Nomura said was reasonable. This shows the gap between Kawashima and Ito. After all, Kawashima has no experience in controlling the overall situation. Before a new order is given, the previous order should be revoked, otherwise, it will cause serious consequences of chaos in the troops.

Nomura did not disclose his true inner thoughts. His main purpose of doing this was to carry out Ito's order and prevent him from grasping the handle. Quan'er also expressed that he had done his best and showed his favor in a disguised form. When he saw the Imperial Army Aviation fighter jet, Hasegawa Kiyoshi could only remember me, Nomura, and not that old guy Ito.

Nomura didn't know that Hasegawa Kiyoshi had died, and he died very badly. Compared with the remains, if he knew, he would not have this interest.

Secondly, this is a strategy of Nomura. If the fighter group of the Grand Division finds a large number of fighter jets in the aviation team, with Le Yiqin's "character", they will definitely come to fight, and let Le Yiqin's attention, They were all attracted, that is, they covered the No.17 Fighter Wing in a disguised form and intercepted the bomber group of the Grand Division.

Nomura is not afraid of fighting with the Grand Division's fighter group. The large fleet is at best a tie against the large fleet. Considering various factors, the fighters of the Imperial Air Force are not at a disadvantage. After two waves of attacks, they were exhausted soldiers. The distance between Myitkyina Airport and the airspace of the Andaman Sea was not much shorter than that of Hainan Island. When they rushed to the battlefield, their vigor was gone.

The new army has an advantage in morale against the exhausted soldiers. Besides, how would Le Yiqin know that the fighter jets of the aviation team were dispatched in full force. Even if he found out, it would be too late. Flying, it fell into the surveillance of the ground radar station of the Grand Division Southern Flying Group, and it would never be so full of confidence.

At 26:[-] p.m. on November [-], the Chiang Mai radar station of the Southern Aviation Group reported, "The Japanese fighter group has approached the airspace of Dafu. Among them, about one Japanese fighter group left the group and headed for Sadwat. Flying in the direction, the intention is unknown."

Le Yiqin saw the telegram and immediately understood, "The little devil is poisonous enough, he really ran towards my bomber, and ordered that all the fighters of the first echelon, the second regiment, and one brigade of the third regiment be sent to THAAD immediately. Wa airspace, intercept these little devil fighter jets, and ensure the safety of the bomber formation." He immediately ordered.

At 38:[-], Colonel Takeshixian, the commander of the first regiment of fighter jets in the first echelon, first spotted a group of Japanese fighter jets in the airspace [-] kilometers southwest of Dafu through the radar of Colonel Takezhixian. My darling, the little devil has shaken off all his wealth, except for the two air battles in the South China Sea, I have never seen the little devil dispatch so many fighter jets at one time." [

He immediately reported to the formation commander: "Formation commander, I am Takeshi Xian, the leading regiment. I found a group of Japanese fighter jets. Please instruct me whether to launch an attack immediately!"

Le Yiqin on the command tower clearly heard Wu Zhixian's voice, and clenched his fists tightly. Finally, it was about to fight. This was the last battle against the Japanese Air Force over the Indochina Peninsula. It was a decisive battle!So far, there is no trace of the little devil's plane in the sky of the Indochina Peninsula. Even Le Yiqin, who has experienced big battles and vicious battles, can't help but feel a little nervous.

The Takeshi Regiment took the lead in the battle, and immediately, more than 300 fighters from the first echelon rushed towards the Japanese fighter group. This was the largest air battle in the history of air combat in the Indochina Peninsula. In the air force, the two sides invested nearly [-] fighter jets in the border area between Thailand and Myanmar, and over the sky over Dafu, launched a desperate air fight.

In the bright afternoon sun of the Indochina Peninsula, in the blue sky, the fighter jets of the two sides chased each other and tumbling. , plunged one end to the ground, and a column of smoke rolled up with fire and black smoke rose straight into the sky.

Regarding this unprecedented large-scale air battle, the local residents in the Dafu area, when they mentioned it a few years later, their expressions still changed, "Oh, that day, it was so scary, the sky was full of planes, hurry up!" The sun was covered, and it was so fierce, the roof of my house was dropped from the sky, and I don’t know what it was, and it smashed a big hole.”
