Age of Rebirth

Seeing Major General Kawashima, he still didn't understand what he meant. Obviously, General Ito, who was in a good mood, continued to explain patiently: "After the American planes were wiped out, the American troops who counterattacked were just gifts from the door. We have With an attacking force of more than [-], how many troops are left after the U.S. military has suffered heavy losses. It is easy to surround the Americans. Order the attacking troops and put in the counterattacking U.S. troops. We are in the first position and completely eliminate the U.S. military's first Three armies!"

The mind of Chief of Staff Kawashima suddenly became enlightened. Although he was conceited of his ingenuity, he was far inferior to General Ito in terms of commanding the battle. The best result, General Ito, deserves to be a famous general of the Imperial Army, Major General Kawashima's eyes, unabashed admiration and admiration!

General Ito enjoyed this feeling very much, but he pretended to be deep and said: "Mr. Kawashima, all my deployments are based on the fact that the Imperial Army Air Force can destroy American aircraft. As for the final result of the battle , depends on the performance of the air warriors of our empire!"

At around [-]:[-] am on August [-], in front of the U.S. aircraft fleet covering the counterattack of the U.S. infantry, a Japanese fighter jet formation composed of several small aircraft groups appeared. Taking a squadron as a group, they launched a fierce attack on the U.S. aircraft fleet. As far as the number of Japanese fighter jets appearing now is less than one-fifth of the number of U.S. aircraft.

Colonel Rijkaard, the commander of the air formation of the US First Air Force, immediately got out of his fleet.A considerable number of fighter jets were separated to meet them, dozens of fighter jets from the US and Japanese troops.In the pre-dawn sky, they began to wrestle up and down. [

As far as the performance of fighter jets is concerned, the fighter jets prepared by the Japanese Air Force are basically the same as those equipped by the U.S. Air Force, but the biggest gap lies in the morale and actual combat experience of the pilots.Just aggressively took out a desperate posture, all of them looked like desperadoes who had lived enough, biting a US fighter jet was choking to death.

For the other fighters covering the US military, they turned a blind eye to the continuous firing of machine guns, under such a desperate fight.The same number of U.S. fighter jets were no match for the Japanese fighter jets. Within 10 minutes of the battle, five U.S. fighter jets were shot down by the Japanese fighter jets and plunged to the ground in a rage.A ball of fire erupted suddenly, and the Japanese fighter jets only lost one!

Moreover, there are Japanese fighter jets that break through the blocking of American fighter jets.Rushing into the formation of US bombers, they shot wildly.There were also a few American bombers, which were beaten up with smoke all over their bodies, and drifted crookedly towards the distant sea. Even if you think about it with the back of your head, those bombers are probably doomed, but seven or eight Japanese fighter jets are just a few. The formation of the U.S. bomber fleet supporting the ground counterattack was smashed to pieces.

Colonel Rijkaard was so angry that he scolded Commander Whiteman in his heart, "What a fucking blind command, the fighter jets were originally used for air combat, but that guy ordered to attack on the ground, with a layman, I don't know what to do. Reasonable, if there is no order from Commander Whiteman, all the fighter jets are used, but there are only [-] or so Japanese fighter jets, and they can make Japanese dumplings in no time!"

After more than ten minutes, the small Japanese aircraft fleet became more and more violent, which had already affected the air fleet to cover the infantry counterattack. Colonel Rijkaard felt that this could not go on like this, and the troublesome Japanese fighter jets should be killed first. I'm about to call Colonel Fracis, commander of the Second Air Force's air formations.

"Colonel Francis, I have a suggestion. Use all the fighters of our First Air Force to surround and kill the more than 60 Japanese fighters that made trouble. All the fighters of your Second Air Force will continue to support the counterattack of the ground forces. What's your opinion?" Colonel Francis said in a conferring tone.

Colonel Francis was also disturbed by the Japanese fighter jets. He and Colonel Rijkaard had similar thoughts. They both sneered at Commander Whiteman's orders. What's the matter? When using it as a ground attack aircraft, that Whiteman knows how to do it, but he dare not disobey the orders of the headquarters, and he is holding his nose to support. Hearing Colonel Fraxis's suggestion, he immediately agreed.

"Colonel Rijkaard, I very much agree with your suggestion. For God's sake, your First Air Force, send those troublesome yellow-skinned Japanese monkeys to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. I have been troubled by them. ! But, don’t you want to report to Major General Whiteman first?” Colonel Fraxis reminded with some humor.

Colonel Rijkaard said contemptuously: "Reporting to him is a waste of time. Does he know what air combat is?" The commander, divided into two fleets, moved towards more than 280 Japanese fighter jets, and outflanked them aggressively. The posture seemed to swallow the Japanese fighter jets in one go.

Seeing more than 200 American fighter jets rushing towards them, the Japanese fighter jets seemed to be a little confused. They did not care to form a formation, and immediately withdrew from the battle and retreated towards the Babuyan Strait. Colonel Rijkaard, how could he let these fighters who just took advantage The Japanese fighter jets immediately ordered: "Attention all wings, hold on to the Japanese fighter jets as fast as possible, and shoot them all down in the airspace of Luzon Island!"

Major Yamazaki, the commander of the Japanese fighter air formation, looked back at the group of American fighter jets that were in the dark, chasing after him. With a ferocious sneer on his face, he turned on the intercom, "Commander Kashima, I am Major Yamazaki, the commander of the decoy fleet. I want to report to you that the U.S. fighter jet fleet, about [-] fighter jets, are chasing us, and I have commanded the fleet to withdraw to the ambush airspace, and the report is over!"

Major General Kashima, the commander of the Japanese Kashima Air Force, said very excitedly: "Yaosai, Major Yamazaki, you have to act realistically. Don't let the commander of the US military fleet see the flaws. You can lure the US military fleet to our air force to ambush. Region, you are a great achievement!"

At this time, the ground battle has also undergone a reversal in nature. Overhead, the American soldiers supported by hundreds of planes seem to have forgotten the fear just passed, and burst out with great courage. Commander Whiteman's counterattack The assault went very smoothly, and he kept receiving reports, "Commander, my counterattack troops have broken through the encirclement of the Japanese army and joined the troops on the first line of defense. Now, we are continuing to expand the results of the battle and regain the position!"

After receiving similar reports one after another, Commander Whiteman felt a little unreal and illusory. He really didn't expect that the second-line troops, with only more than 5 people, launched a counterattack against more than [-] Japanese troops, and even achieved victory. With such victories, plus the existing persistent troops on the front line, there will not be more than [-] people. Even if it is a cooperation between the inside and the outside, it shouldn't be so smooth, right?Could it be that there is some Japanese conspiracy in it?

However, no matter how much Captain Whiteman thought about it, he couldn't figure out where the conspiracy was. In the end, he attributed the smooth counterattack to the hundreds of planes in the two air teams. Effect.

The fighter group of the U.S. First Air Force chased the Japanese fighter jets, and within 10 minutes, a small group of Japanese fighter jets appeared in the sky, but this time the number seemed to be a bit more, about [-] or so. As soon as they came up, the tactics used by the previous Japanese fighter group were exactly the same. They rushed up desperately, facing the overwhelmingly superior number of American fighter groups, and the bomber groups that bombarded the Japanese troops indiscriminately.

Colonel Fracis felt the distress of Colonel Rijkaard. He allocated almost half of his fighters to face the Japanese fighters. However, he could not completely prevent the Japanese fighters from attacking his bomber fleet. The bomber was hit by the Japanese fighter jets so that it was covered with smoke and fire, and fell to the ground, turning into a ball of fire. He could no longer control his emotions.

Order all the fighters to immediately surround the Japanese fighters. It is still the same as before. The Japanese fighters are not interested in fighting. After taking advantage of it, they turn around and run away. Ya, ordered the bomber fleet to continue the mission of supporting the ground troops to attack. He commanded more than 300 fighter jets and pursued them like a gust of wind. At the same time, Major General Araki, the commander of the Japanese Araki Air Force, also received a successful lure The report of the pursuit of the US fighter group.

After receiving reports from Major General Kashima and Major General Araki, General Ito said to the chief of staff, Major General Kawashima: "Mr. Kawashima, our victory is in sight, and ordered the Kuroda Air Force to divide into three groups, two of which will participate in the battle." The air battle encircling the U.S. fighter planes shot down all the U.S. bombers into the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, and then told the three air force commanders that after the air battle is over, I will treat them to a drink of sake!" [

It is impossible to know what kind of bad situation the nearly [-] fighter jets of the two U.S. air teams encountered. The airspace of Lingayen Bay, more than [-] kilometers away, was ambushed by Japanese fighter jets twice as many as itself. big air battle.

On the Calais mountain battlefield, the U.S. bomber group that continued to support the counterattack of the ground troops was suddenly attacked by Japanese fighter jets. An hour later, the U.S. bomber group that lost the fighter escort was wiped out. Commander Whiteman learned of the above It was already past seven or eight o'clock in the morning on August [-]th when the news came out.
