Age of Rebirth

In fact, the commanders of those bomber formations were too worried. From North China to the Indochina Peninsula, they have been competing with the Japanese aviation forces in the sky, fighting wits and courage, and have the record of defeating and annihilating several Japanese aviation teams. The officers, Le Yiqin, who was regarded as one of the most powerful minions and accomplices of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, would make such a low-level mistake.

At a high altitude not far from the bomber formation, the fighter group of the Southern Aviation Group came out in full force. Relying on the advanced airborne radar, they stared wide-eyed and waited for the British fighter jets to appear. The loneliness of the opponent.

Speaking of it, the Southern Aviation Group is quite aggrieved. It has been a few months since the plane of the "Japanese" was completely out of the Indochina Peninsula. , even a [Japanese] person's plane hair can't be seen. For Le Yiqin and the pilots who are eager to fight and have won a series of victories, there is nothing more uncomfortable than having no battle to fight.

Le Yiqin raised his head and asked again: "Minister He, all the bombers and ground radars have not found any British planes? Did you check each leader plane and each radar station one by one? Really No target appears?"

Minister He of the Operations Department, Ke Naihe replied with a wry smile: "Commander, you have asked me more than ten times. This is one of the regular job functions of the Operations Department. There is a whole set of formal procedures. How can you make a mistake?" Between the tone, it seems that the commander doubts the work of the war department, somewhat displeased. [

That's right, anyone who is suspected by their superiors will feel very uncomfortable. Le Yiqin could also hear his tone and said: "Old He, I don't suspect that there are omissions in the work of your war department. The key is that we put such a big The British didn’t take the bait in a daze. I’m annoyed! Don’t mind! It’s better to order the radar stations to keep a close watch on them.”

Immediately, he commanded nearly a thousand aircraft, and the majestic aviation major general commander Le Yiqin was fishing.He yelled like a wolf howling: "British, please, show up quickly!" In his tone, let alone how depressed he was.

Minister He and a dozen staff officers looked at each other in blank dismay, undecided whether to go to the military doctor.Commander is going crazy!Why do you look like you want to eat people?

Le Yiqin was more depressed than Le Yiqin, and there were many people. Lieutenant General Bright, the commander of the British Air Force stationed in India, was one of them. Lieutenant General Wright fell into extreme depression.

In his opinion, that old guy in Alexander ordered.It's just nonsense, I don't understand the basic principles of air combat at all, the fighter planes of the Indian Air Force.Taking off from the Imphal and Puram field airports, you have to fly over the entire Hukang Valley airspace, with a flight distance of nearly a thousand miles, plus the return flight. How long can the fuel carried by the aircraft last for an air battle?

However, the plane of the army division took off from Myitkyina Airport, and the flight distance was more than half.In this way, after fighting in the air for a long time, your own plane has to return. Isn't that the situation of being chased by the Chinese fighter jets?

Alexander can belittle Chinese Tang Qiuli, but that doesn't mean Lieutenant General Bright.You can underestimate the air force of the Grand Division. Le Yiqin is in the Indochina Peninsula. Lieutenant General Bright, through his own channels, has a clear understanding of the record of the "Japanese" air force. The famous aviation team was in pieces, and Brett didn't think that his pilots were the opponents of the [Chinese] pilots.

In other words, Lieutenant General Bright doesn't think he is Le Yiqin's opponent, at least he can't win a battle, or it is very difficult. Bright knows very well what kind of virtues are those pilots stationed in the Indian Army Air Force. The flying time is not necessarily less than that of [Chinese] pilots, but what about the actual combat experience?

Those gangsters are experts in gambling, drinking, and picking up girls. They have not fought in India for many years. They have smelled blood. None of them have actually fought against enemy planes face to face. They are masters in flight time and rookies in actual combat experience. This is the status quo of the air force stationed in India. What confidence does Lieutenant General Bright have to compete with the aviation of the [Chinese] Chinese Army Division that has been fighting in the air?

The number of fighter jets and bombers is generally less than that of the Grand Division's planes. The only thing worth boasting about is the performance and quality of the planes. Air combat is not just about planes, but the quality and actual combat experience of the pilots. This is where Lieutenant General Bright struggles. If he knows that the performance and quality of the fighter jets of the Southern Aviation Group are not inferior to those of the British Army, or even surpassed, will Lieutenant General still think so?

But Alexander's order, like a talisman, was pasted on Lieutenant General Bright's forehead. This old guy was cruel. If he refused to carry out his order, although he would not lose his head, he would definitely sit in this position. It is very possible to go to a military court and spend a few years in prison.

Lieutenant General Bright was clear in his heart. Alexander turned himself from a salted fish and stepped on dog shit to gain power. When the plane of the [Japanese] was blown up to the ground, they asked the air force stationed in India to provide air support. If they failed to do so, I will keep it in my heart and hate it in my heart!

But Lieutenant General Bright, full of grievances, was still pressing John, the commander-in-chief of the Indian Army, on his head?Admiral Richard, if he doesn't give an order, would he dare to send a plane to Burma to fight desperately with the [Japanese] Air Force of the Tiger and Wolf Division?

Of course, there are also reasons for this. At that time, Admiral Richard had consulted his own opinion. If he revealed a little bit that he intended to provide air support for the British army stationed in the Indochina Peninsula, hundreds of fighter jets would be sent out. No, it's not like they only sent a dozen fighter jets to circle over the Yindun River, and they didn't even see the shadow of the [Japanese] plane, so they just dealt with the matter and hurried back.

How did I answer the question of the general at that time? By the way, "〖Japan〗The air force is in full swing, and the number and performance of fighter jets far exceed ours. The air battle with no help in the war, what is waiting for us is the air power of the Indian army, all of which are lost in the sky over Burma. In the future, what will we do with India's air defense?"

But what I said is the truth, are Japanese pilots so easy to deal with?Therefore, General Bright felt that he was wronged and very angry. He was angry with that old Alexander and poured all his grievances on himself. Although he struggled and hesitated, he never dared to disobey Alexander's order.

All day on April 25th, Lieutenant General Bright was thinking hard in the headquarters, how to complete Commander Alexander, this seemingly impossible plan, and, to maximize the guarantee, the minimum loss of the air force stationed in India .

Before he could find a way to get along safely, he received another telegram from Alexander at around [-]:[-] in the evening, this time with more severe words, "Lieutenant General Bright, it has been more than seven hours, why haven't we seen our plane yet? Is there any doubt about my order? The brave and fearless soldiers of the British Empire are being massacred by [Chinese] Chinese planes wantonly, and you, as the commander of the air force, are actually unmoved."

"Such behavior, I can see that you are fearing the enemy and avoiding war, or refusing to carry out the orders of the Supreme Commander of the Indian Army. There is only one solution, which is to remove you from your post, and you, General Bright, will be dismissed." The gendarmes I sent to arrest, sent to court martial, court martialed, if after dawn tomorrow I still don't see our planes, cover British Empire soldiers, I don't mind fulfilling my oath, this is for you Last chance, I hope you can do it yourself!" [

After reading Alexander's telegram full of threats and insults, Brett slumped on his chair. He understood that if he didn't send planes to join the war, that old guy who held vengeance would definitely do it, and he would do it without hesitation. , I have been pushed to a dead end by Alexander, who is in power, and there is no room for maneuvering.

The vigorous Lieutenant General Bright ordered the communications department to communicate with several units. He worked tirelessly to talk to the four division commanders in person and asked carefully about the air attack by bombers from the division today. Listen, Listen, there was light in Brett's light blue eyes, and they moved around very nimbly.

There is an opportunity, this is a conclusion drawn by Bright, the four division commanders who were badly bombed by the [Chinese] bombers, although they kept complaining and even swearing, they gave him the information they could provide. One way of thinking, Le Yiqin, the commander of the [China] Air Force, should be because the bombing location is very close to his base, and he was not attacked by fighter jets stationed in the Indian Air Force, so no fighter jets were sent to escort him. .

This is the opportunity. The fighter jets take off early. At dawn, they approach the bombing area of ​​the [Chinese] Chinese bombers and keep in close contact with the infantry on the ground. Once the [Chinese] Chinese bombers come again, their own fighter jets will pounce on them. The Chinese who hit [China] were caught off guard, and then quickly left the air combat area and returned.

Even Le Yiqin's fighter jets found that their bomber fleet was under attack, and when they rushed to the air combat airspace, the fighter jets stationed in the Indian Army Air Force were already in the air on the return flight, and they couldn't even see their shadows. The order of the aggressive old guy can also ensure the safety of the raid fighter group, isn't it the best of both worlds!

Bright became happy. He believed that his air raid plan would definitely succeed. The [Chinese] bombers took advantage of most of the day, and he would definitely come again tomorrow, definitely! ! ! !
