Age of Rebirth

Commander Whiteman, seeing the changed faces of his subordinates, said surprisingly gently: "Guys, we have no way out. We can only pick up our guns and fight with the soldiers. I hope we die more heroically!"

The U.S. military officers were silent, and suddenly, a young lieutenant staff officer burst into tears, and shouted indistinctly: "Commander, I don't want to die!"

Major General Whiteman was silent for a while, and then asked: "Who else doesn't want to die?"

More than a dozen officers stood up timidly, and Commander Whiteman said: "Well, I have no right to force you to fight, let alone deprive you of your life. Leave here immediately and return to Manila. If the military police interrogate you Get up and say I approved it, I wish you luck!"

Ten minutes later, a small unit of about 500 US military officers and soldiers ran towards the battlefield full of gunfire with the mentality of moths throwing fire. Major General Whiteman was wearing a helmet and holding a submachine gun. At the front, if you look carefully, most of the small US troops are officers. [

Put down the phone, Commander-in-Chief MacArthur almost passed out again. On the morning of August [-]th, a series of heavy blows made this self-confident American general almost collapse. All the planes were gone. Damn Whiteman’s The army was divided and surrounded by the Japanese army. That damned British Fernandez's army was still crawling on the road like an old cow. Everything told himself the fact that the Japanese soldiers would appear under the city of Manila soon!

MacArthur did not count on the Third Army, which was surrounded by the Japanese army.At the cost of annihilating the entire army, how long can the Japanese army be held back.With the fire support of aircraft, the Third Army relied on solid fortifications to fight positional warfare, and suffered and suffered heavy losses many times.

What's more, now that they are divided and surrounded, they can't send reinforcements. In the face of the siege of the main force of the Japanese army on Luzon Island, the rescue of the third army needs to be on the Manila defense line.All the troops are dispatched, and the desired effect may not necessarily be achieved.

I am not a calm and emotional person. If the 10,000+ troops on the Manila defense line were entangled by the Japanese army in the Calais mountains, I would declare bankruptcy after carefully planning a plan for several months.What followed was the fall of the empty Manila, the fall of the entire Luzon Island, and the collapse of many years of foundation. For the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, they bet on themselves in the Southwest Pacific.The result of years of hard work is not worth it, let alone necessary, because this is war!

General MacArthur's heart was only a little tangled for a while, and then.Putting his mind on the coming crisis, he said to Colonel Kleist, the acting chief of staff: "Convey my order to all troops. From now on, enter the combat state, Kleist, next, Manila You will fall into a bloody and bitter battle!" After speaking, he let out a long sigh, and his emotions were full of embarrassment and bitterness!

In the early hours of August [-]th, there was another person who was more anxious and fidgety than General MacArthur, the commander-in-chief of the US military. General, Major General Le Yiqin known as the "militant".

All the ground radars of the flight group facing the airspace of Luzon Island were turned on. Under the surveillance of the impenetrable radar network, the specific situation of the confrontation between the US and Japanese air forces was presented in front of Le Yiqin at a glance. He basically It was a sleepless night, guarding the Yangon Navy and Air Force Base, in the front air point operation room, and a large group of staff, closely watching the situation of the air battle on Luzon Island.

After the formal exchange of fire between the American and Japanese air forces, the air-finger war room was very busy. The staff officers kept sending their information. On the huge sand table, several combat staff officers sat on the sand table under the command of Le Yiqin. In the performance, the positions of the American and Japanese aircraft fleets are accurately displayed on the sand table, while Le Yiqin himself, with a red face, constantly changes his role, acting as the commander of the US military fleet for a while, and the commander of the Japanese military fleet for a while. .

Several young staff officers, being directed by Le Yiqin, were so busy that they were sweating profusely. Coupled with the incoming and outgoing correspondents, those who didn't know the inside story thought it was the Southern Flying Group that was conducting a decisive battle. When Rijkaard's First Air Force of the U.S. Army broke away from the battlefield in the Calais mountains, followed the small Japanese fleet, and headed for the airspace of the Babuyan Strait, Le Yiqin slapped the table and shouted: "Not good! The little devil's move is obviously fraudulent, and the Yankees will suffer!"

The staff officers of the combat department have long been accustomed to the commander's yelling posture, and they also know that as long as it involves the field of air combat, anyone can speak freely without worrying about being punished for saying the wrong thing. A captain and staff officer is not convinced Said: "Commander, are you a little alarmist? I think the tactics of the Yankees are not a big problem. They concentrate their superior forces, surround and annihilate the harassing small Japanese fleet, and then support the infantry on the ground without interference. attack!"

Le Yiqin and Selenium said: "I only know one of them but not the other. It is correct in theory, but it is also necessary to make a specific analysis based on the actual situation of the battlefield and the comparison of forces between the two sides. On the Southwest Pacific battlefield, the Japanese army There are more than [-] fighter jets in three air teams. This time, dozens of them were dispatched for harassing attacks. They were clearly treating them as weak. In my judgment, the commander of the air team of the little devil must give the Yankees Somewhere, the plane dug a big hole!"

The young staff officers all showed expressions of disbelief. What the commander said was too mysterious. Le Yiqin didn't bother to argue with them. He kept his eyes on the sand table, and the position of the Japanese and American fleet changed, and said: " As for right or wrong, you guys will know later, hey! Why do I feel that something is wrong?"

The staff members were puzzled, and something was wrong with the commander. At this time, the US Second Air Force also left the airspace of the Calais Mountains, chasing a small group of Japanese aircraft towards the airspace of Lingayen Bay. With a glint in his eyes, he said: "I'm sure, the commander of the little devil's air force is playing a conspiracy. You see, two small fleets are used to lure the big Yankee fleet to pursue desperately, but the direction of the little devil's fleet retreat is in the Two different places!"

The staff officers looked at the commander, but still didn't understand the meaning of his words. Le Yiqin went on to say: "What kind of tactic is this, please enter the urn, by the way, an ambush, it must be an ambush, all the planes of the little devil are going to Luzon Island The massing in the airspace is to launch a big ambush for the Yankee fleet! It's over, the Americans will definitely suffer a big loss, if not done, it will end in annihilation of the entire army!"

The staff officers were still digesting the commander's words, suddenly, Le Yiqin punched the table, and roared: "I'm so fucking pissed off, the little devil is really not a thing, the tactic of ambushing in the air is clearly Lao Tzu's How did the little devils imitate his originality?" Hearing the commander's roar, the staff officers and correspondents almost burst out laughing.

At around [-] o'clock in the morning, the results of the air battle on Luzon Island, as Le Yiqin judged, the US Southwest Pacific Theater's First and Second Air Forces, in the airspace of the Babuyan Strait and Lingayen Bay, It was ambushed by the superior fighter group of the Japanese army and almost wiped out.

An unprecedented and tragic air battle between the US and Japanese air forces in the Pacific came to an end. Instead, Le Yiqin calmed down, smoking a cigarette, and sat quietly in a chair. No one knew what he was thinking about. ?The eyes of the staff officers looking at the commander have all changed. It is a kind of admiration and admiration from the heart!

Le Yiqin got up lazily, and said with a little spirit: "I've been busy all night, let's go take a rest, I should also catch up on my sleep! Hey, the fight was quite lively, but we have nothing to do , I'm hungry!"

Le Yiqin was just about to get up and leave, at this moment, "Dingling!" A red telephone on the table rang quickly, and a staff officer picked up the phone, and just after listening to a few words, his face suddenly changed , and shouted at Le Yiqin: "Commander, the Third Battalion of the Ninth Fighter Regiment on patrol in the airspace of the Nansha Islands has an emergency report!" [

The staff officers felt that their eyes were blurred, and they were just like the commander who had just woken up. They arrived at the phone in an instant at an astonishing speed, snatched the phone, and said hastily: "I am Le Yiqin, What's the emergency? Say!"

The person who reported the situation was the Third Battalion of the Ninth Fighter Regiment performing routine air patrol missions in the airspace of the Nansha Islands. The regiment is based at the Yulin Air Force Base on Hainan Island. From the radar, it was found that two batches of fighter jets broke into our airspace one after another. Judging from the flight trajectory, the two sides are in a state of engagement. Moreover, the fighter jets in front are fleeing, and the fighter jets behind are chasing after them. .

Xu Zheguang didn't dare to be negligent, and ordered his squadrons to intercept in combat formation, and reported the situation to Yangon Air Command. Xu Zheguang also knew that starting early this morning, the Japanese and American air teams were flying in Luzon. There is a fierce air battle going on in the airspace of the island, maybe the little devil pilot and Yankee pilot who got knocked out came to our side!

Le Yiqin's eyes lit up, and he laughed loudly and asked, "Xu Zheguang, are you sure you're in the airspace we control?"

Xu Zheguang replied affirmatively: "It can be confirmed that a total of five American fighter jets and twelve Japanese fighter jets have penetrated into our airspace for more than [-] kilometers, and they are still fighting. of!"

Le Yiqin slammed the table excitedly, and shouted: "Okay! Intercept immediately, and take over the communication channel for me. I want to hear why this little devil pilot and Yankee pilot came to our ground." ? Wait for my order, and get ready to kill these bastards!"
