Age of Rebirth

Rear Admiral Sato, the acting commander of the Third Fleet of the Japanese Navy, after hearing the report from the observation post, felt miserable. It's over, the Third Fleet is completely over. It should be the bomber fleet of China. Their fleet was severely damaged by the Imperial Land and Sea Air Force. , unable to encircle his own fleet, became angry and came to retaliate.

Could it be that this is the end of the third fleet of the enemy?Having escaped annihilation once, but could not escape such a fate again, the combat power of the Third Fleet was almost zero, facing the bombers of the Grand Division, it had no power to fight back, except for a few naval guns that could still be used. In addition, the rest are the rifles and machine guns in the hands of the sailors, but that is not much.

Sato's face was livid, and he ordered the communications officer, "Immediately send a telegram to His Excellency the Chief of Staff. The fleet is in the Andaman Sea and has been attacked by bombers from the Imperial Division again. The situation is extremely critical. I hope the Imperial Air Force will come to the rescue as soon as possible!" Although I didn't see the bomber group of the Grand Division covering the sky and the sun, reporting the danger first would save those gentlemen in the General Staff Headquarters from dawdling and not knowing the priorities.

Sato's heart was simmering with anger, and his opinions on Prince Zairen grew louder, "Since the fleet of the First Division was defeated, why didn't the fleet of the Air Force come to escort it? As a result, the Third Fleet was once again in crisis , This is a question of common sense, the pampered Chief of Staff, you don’t think that the Third Fleet still has the power to fight?”

Lieutenant Colonel Tang Yunfei, Chief of Staff of the First Carrier Aircraft Flying Regiment of the ** Division Fleet, took off with his wingman, and after taking off from the aircraft carrier, he continued to search and fly in the direction of Motama Bay. The sky was clear and the sea was calm. The flight lasted for about [-] minutes. , On the blue sea in front of the side, some small black spots appeared. [

In the Andaman Sea where no fishing boat can be seen, it is particularly prominent.Tang Yunfei's heart moved, he speeded up and took his wingman, lowered the altitude and flew over, it was getting closer.Large and small Japanese warships, like pieces of floating rotten wood, dangled on the sea surface, and the plaster flags on the masts of the warships shivered in the sea wind like torn rags.

Seeing the Japanese warship, his wingman couldn't help it anymore, and eagerly asked for instructions: "Chief of Staff, I'll go down and give the little devil a few shots, and I feel angry when I see these guys!" Tang Yunfei immediately stopped him and said to his wingman : "Qian Dezhu, are your hands itchy? We are here for reconnaissance. Besides, it's boring to fight these Japanese soldiers who have no power to fight back!"

Tang Yunfei didn't want to do this, he could see the warship.The Japanese sailors who ran and hid in a panic, went down with several shuttles, and the guards beat him up and crawled all over the ground.But he was clear about his mission and immediately reported: "Tang Yunfei of the First Flying Regiment reported that they found the Japanese Third Fleet, about 170 kilometers away from our fleet, and the speed of the enemy ships was extremely slow."

Tang Qiuquan, who received the report, clapped his hands excitedly, and said, "Good guys, I finally caught you!" Then he ordered: "The fleet is moving forward at full speed, and the carrier-based aircraft responsible for reconnaissance will continue to monitor the actions of the Japanese fleet. Report the situation at any time. , communications officer, immediately report to the division headquarters, our fleet has discovered the exact location of the Japanese Third Fleet, and it is encircling it at full speed."

After reading the telegram sent by the fleet, Tang Qiuli was so happy that he folded his hands behind his back.He kept circling around in the headquarters, and said to Tang Qiusheng: "Brother Qiusheng, Brother Qiuquan's fleet has already surrounded it. Well, after several days of naval and air battles, it can finally come to a successful conclusion. Only the big fat piece of Yangon is left, hey brother Qiusheng, shouldn’t our fleet have a famous name?”

Without waiting for Tang Qiusheng to answer, he said to Liu Xinlan: "Xinlan, convey the order of Deputy Commander Tang. All the troops around Yangon will have extra meals tonight to celebrate our second fleet, which is about to be born!"

Tang Qiusheng said for a while, held back for a while, and then said: "Master, isn't it over if you just say that it is your order? Why are you still using my banner?" Tang Qiuli smiled slyly, and said: "Aren't you the commander in chief at the front line? How can I take advantage of you! Besides, if I give an order, if the name is not correct, the words will not go well!"

After finishing speaking, she bared her teeth and stopped Liu Xinlan, who was about to leave, and said, "Xinlan, tonight, please inform the cooking team to add a few dishes and make a bottle of this." After finishing speaking, she raised her hand as a sign of drinking , her eyes were full of sly smiles, Liu Xinlan didn't stop her, she understood Tang Qiuli's mood at the moment, a smart girl would not spoil the interest of the man she likes at this moment.

After Liu Xinlan went out, Tang Qiuli, who was in a particularly comfortable mood, chatted with Tang Qiusheng about the past, especially when he was a child, some past events in his hometown in the Northeast. After years of fighting, it was the first time for the officers in the headquarters to hear the division commander. , Talking about some things about his own past, listening attentively.

Tang Qiusheng didn't interrupt what he was listening to. His younger brother was so happy today. When he mentioned the past, he was no longer in pain and sadness. Qiusheng was happy from the bottom of his heart, and Qiuli got rid of his knot. Everything is due to the girl who went out just now.

Liu Xinlan came back very quickly, with hurried steps. Tang Qiuli looked at the anxious Liu Xinlan in surprise, and thought to himself, "Xinlan is not a novice anymore. She has been with me for a few months and has experienced The big scene, why did you lose your composure today? Could it be that something unexpected happened?"

Before he could ask, Liu Xinlan hurriedly said: "Teacher, urgent information." After finishing speaking, she handed over a telegram, "The radar center of the Southern Aviation Group reported that it received information from the Fuzhou radar station. Today at 470:160 noon, A large fleet of Japanese troops passed through the airspace of the Taiwan Strait, heading due west, at [-] o'clock, confirmed by the Xiamen radar station, the Japanese fleet consisted of more than [-] fighter jets and more than [-] bombers."

This information, like a bolt from the blue, shocked Tang Qiuli. He never expected that another large Japanese military fleet would appear and pass through the Taiwan Strait. It must have taken off from the Japanese mainland, no, it was from the Japanese military airport on Okinawa Island. The Japanese are so cunning, they killed their carbine, and the target was still their own fleet. It was a vicious move.

If the fighter jets of the Southern Flying Group took off from the Myitkyina Field Airport, they would be able to intercept the Japanese fleet in the airspace of the Strait of Malacca, but the crux of the problem lies here. On the way back, I had just experienced two air battles, and it was unrealistic to turn back and intercept, medicine and fuel did not allow this.

If the fleet landed at Myitkyina Airport, replenished fuel and medicine, and then flew to the airspace of the Malacca Strait to intercept, it would be too late in time. Even if it arrived at the airspace of the Andaman Sea, it would be about four or ten minutes later than the Japanese fleet. More than 10 Japanese aircraft There are only more than 470 fighter jets and carrier-based aircraft in the fleet. With a huge disparity in strength, the fleet is in unprecedented danger.

Thinking of this, Tang Qiuli's forehead was sweating. The commander of the Japanese army was a crazy and insidious guy. He even used a plane far away on Okinawa Island to make a long-distance raid. It was his own carelessness. One floor?Or did one victory after another go to his head?

Tang Qiuli had no time to blame himself, and had to resolve this crisis, otherwise, the fleet would suffer great losses, and the Japanese Third Fleet would take the opportunity to run away, and his own losses would be huge. Tang Qiusheng read it After receiving the telegram, Tang Qiuli was so anxious that he came over and said, "Master, don't worry, there should be a solution."

In fact, Tang Qiusheng didn't know what to do. The Japanese military aircraft group suddenly appeared. No one thought of it. Suddenly, Tang Qiuli calmed down, and his eyes flashed with determination.

He said to Liu Xinlan: "Xinlan records, orders, fleet carrier aircraft, immediately rush to the airspace of the Strait of Malacca, intercept the incoming Japanese fleet, even if all of them are wiped out, we must protect the fleet to successfully implement the plan to capture the Japanese Third Fleet , In addition, the Japanese aircraft fleet that attacked this time is the Japanese Air Force of Okinawa Island, with more than 470 fighter jets and more than 160 bombers.” [

Tang Qiuli knew that this order of his would lead to annihilation of the carrier-based aircraft. No matter how good the flying skills and brave fighting style were, they could not offset the disadvantage in numbers. , but if the fleet suffers a huge loss, it will be difficult to recover, especially those two aircraft carriers, which are the biggest capital for him to fight for hegemony in the Pacific in the future.

Then, he called Le Yiqin, without any nonsense, "Le Yiqin, there is an emergency, the Japanese Okinawa Air Force has appeared, and the target is our fleet. I just want you to tell me how long it will take after landing. Flying over the Andaman Sea airspace again?"

When Le Yiqin heard it, her eyes were red with envy, and she shouted: "The little devil is still fucking endless, sir, the fleet can return to the battlefield within two hours," "Okay, I want to The fastest speed," Tang Qiuli said.

Le Yiqin just said to the formation, "Return at full speed." His fighter plane accelerated suddenly, and shot towards Myitkyina Airport like an arrow off the string, followed by his entire formation.

Tang Qiuquan stood on the deck of the flagship "Canglang" with a solemn expression, watching the carrier-based planes take off into the sky, and disappeared into the blue sky in a blink of an eye. He didn't want to go, how many people and his planes, Can no longer return to the deck of the aircraft carrier, including his nephew Tang Yunfei, and, as the commander of the first echelon, the first to meet the enemy.

The sea breeze blew his hair, and the shadow of the Japanese Third Fleet appeared in front of him. Without turning his head, he said to Xin Xiguo, the chief of staff of the fleet: "Order, immediately surround the Japanese fleet and send out a signal to order the Japanese to surrender. In the event of resistance, the firepower will strike until it is wiped out. The [-]st Brigade of the Marine Corps is ready to board the ship and wipe out all the Japanese sailors who resist."

Following Qiu Quan's order, the fleet took a fan-shaped formation. From the left and right wings, the pride of the Japanese navy, the Third Fleet, which had been rampant in the Pacific Ocean for many years, was surrounded in the Andaman Sea. The end of the Third Fleet came.
