Age of Rebirth

The mixed fleet commanded by Le Yiqin arrived at the airspace of the U.S. Seventh Mechanized Infantry Division's blockade position 10 minutes later. The overwhelming large fleet caused a restless commotion among the U.S. and Filipino soldiers on the port and ships. They were afraid These black planes filling the sky are Japanese planes. If that is the case, no matter whether they are on the ship or at the port, the troops who have not boarded the ship will face a massacre from the air!

Fortunately, Chief of Staff Kleist, who was always in command of the boarding of the troops at the port, ordered the commanders at all levels to convey the order, "Don't panic, this is the fleet of our allied Chinese army, come to cover our retreat, and protect us Withdraw to Australia for escort!"

Rest assured, after the war, the Japanese army took a final bite. The remaining 10,000+ soldiers of the United States and the Philippines breathed a sigh of relief, stretched their necks, and watched the sky above their heads, constantly flying past Under the wing, a golden dragon hovering over the Great Wall logo, shining brightly in the morning sun of Luzon Island, the golden dragon seemed to be dancing alive!

This time, Le Yiqin personally commanded the formation of the first air mixed fleet, dispatched more than 180 fighter jets from three fighter regiments, and more than [-] bombers from five bomber regiments. .

When we arrived at the scheduled airspace, the U.S. military headquarters also sent over the coordinates of the blocking position, and Le Yiqin ordered: "Fighter formations, centered on the bombing area, guard within a radius of [-] kilometers, don't even give me a fly Put it in, the bombers form up, carry out differential bombing according to the coordinates, and each fleet starts to move!"[

at the same time.Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta, the commander of the No. 14 Japanese army, was furious. The report of the repulsion of the first attack wave has been submitted. Lieutenant General Haruta is not mny, very annoyed. More than an hour, how can the US and Philippine troops be given the opportunity to re-establish a blocking position. "You idiots!" Lieutenant General Chuntian scolded viciously.

He can't wait to chop off the heads of all the officers and pay for their stupidity and ignorance, but he has already captured the US and Philippine troops who are about to escape.Then never let it go, otherwise.I am on the island of Luzon.The plan to wipe out MacArthur's U.S. troops will come to nothing, let alone give them time to board the ship. In that case, wouldn't it be another great opportunity to wipe out the enemy and give it to the bastards in the navy?

Lieutenant General Chuntian said viciously to the Chief of Staff, Major General Hashimoto: "Chief of Staff Hashimoto, order all troops to storm the blocking positions of the U.S. Army at any cost, and order the Heavy Artillery Wing and Field Artillery Brigade. Go to the front line, be careful not to bombard the US positions, the target of the bombardment is the ships moored on the pier, and the only way to get rid of them is to have a chance of complete annihilation, do you understand?"

No matter how Lieutenant General Chuntian adjusted his deployment, it was too late. After receding, the retreating Japanese troops started their second attack. This time, they were no longer greeted by American and Philippine soldiers with rifles Light and heavy machine guns, but bombs that fell from the sky.

"Boom boom boom!" The flames splashed, pieces flew horizontally, gunpowder smoke mixed with smoke and dust rose into the sky, and the huge explosion made the ground tremble.

The bomber fleet of the Southern Flying Group of the Independent Division was divided into several echelons. On the way of the Japanese attack, it exploded a sea of ​​flames and a place of death composed of steel sheets, whistling and flying, and swallowed more than 1 Japanese soldiers in one gulp. Come in.

The charging Japanese soldiers crashed in and turned into mutilated corpses, pieces of meat flying all over the sky.

Explosions one after another, with piercing screams, fell from the sky, the explosion points were connected one by one, there was no dead angle, and there was no place to hide from the explosion. On the ground, one after another, soil flowers bloomed continuously, black Flying in the gunpowder smoke are the flesh and blood of Japanese soldiers.

After one echelon dropped, the bomber echelon behind started the second round of bombing. This time, they used the "Buddha Light" napalm. Under the reflection of the rising sun, silver-white shiny objects were slowly released from the air. It fell down and landed on the ground without any earth-shattering bangs, dust stirred up, or flakes scattered all over the place. After lightly touching the ground, it suddenly cracked.

"Peng!" A clump of fire broke out suddenly, and immediately, countless fire clusters burst open, quickly connecting into a sea of ​​flying flames, whether it was soil, grass, trees or rocks, everything on the ground began to burn Get up, the flames are scorching everything, and there is a "beep beep" sound!

Lieutenant General Jonathan looked at the sea of ​​fire with some fear, smelled the pungent smell of gunpowder smoke and the burnt smell of burnt flesh in the air, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, stayed for a while, and said to the staff: "Order the troops , Immediately withdraw from the blocking position and board the ship immediately, we are safe!"

At this moment, Lieutenant General Jonathan was more at ease. In front of the sea of ​​flames covering the entire blocking area, the Japanese soldiers must not rush over. Even if they rushed over, it would be a burnt corpse. I have never seen such a horrible scene.

"Hani? The Chinese air force appeared and violently bombarded the imperial army's offensive area. The imperial army's second attack wave troops suffered heavy losses, with more than 5000 casualties?" After listening to the call from the commander of the forward troops, Lieutenant General Haruta Yoshihiko exclaimed, sat down on the canvas chair, and lowered his head in a slumped manner. Damn it, that plane of the Chinese devil still appeared on the battlefield of Luzon Island.

As soon as the attack was made, the casualties caused to the imperial army exceeded the casualties of fighting with the US and Philippine troops for a few days. In fact, this is not to blame for Lieutenant General Chuntian. Who would have expected that the fleet of the Chinese devil would suddenly appear on the Manila defense line , In addition, the troops are in a dense offensive formation, which just creates opportunities for bombers to use their abilities.

Chief of Staff Hashimoto on the side reminded: "Your Excellency, Commander, you should immediately order the troops to stop attacking and take air defense and evacuation measures, otherwise, the troops will suffer heavy casualties!" Order to stop the attack.

Lieutenant General Chuntian, the defeated rooster yyng, shook his head with a look of unwillingness. Did he just look at the American and Filipino soldiers in front of him and escape from under his nose?Moreover, the No.14 Army also suffered so many brave soldiers of the Imperial Army!

Lieutenant General Chuntian's heart was so stuffy that he was about to explode. He stood up abruptly, his eyes were red, and roared angrily: "No! We also have an air force, and immediately sent a message to Commander Ito that the No. 14 Army is in waves south of Manila. In the Liliu area, the US and Philippine soldiers who were trying to escape were annihilated. Unexpectedly, they were violently bombed by the air force of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China. "

Lieutenant General Chuntian did not expect that Commander-in-Chief Ito was even more troubled than him. Tang Qiuli said that the method he used was exactly the same as the last time he escorted the British and Australian troops. And to deter the Araki Air Force and Kuroda Air Force, so that more than 700 fighters of the two air forces dare not act rashly, and then dispatched several batches of land-based fighter groups to fly towards the Coral Sea along the last route. go.

The same method, the same number of fighter jets and bombers, knowing that Tang Qiuli's air force was to escort the US and Philippine soldiers who were evacuated from Luzon Island, but General Ito could only watch helplessly. The British and Australian soldiers were throwing the bombed Kashima Air Corps over their heads, so they could free up their hands, but so what, can they smash Tang Qiuli's actions? [

No, last time, the carrier-based aircraft of the two fleets and some land-based fighters of the Kashima Air Force joined forces, neither of which was the opponent of the China Devil fighter group. The plan for the Australian battlefield, otherwise, the days of attacking the Australian army will become sad. It is normal to be kicked out of the Australian mainland, but General Ito missed a trick.

He did not expect that the first wave of aircraft of the Independent Division turned a corner and headed for the Manila battlefield. After receiving a telegram from Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta, he was shocked and hurriedly called Lieutenant General Haruta, " The Araki Air Force and the Kuroda Air Force are doing their best to deal with the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the Independent Division Fleet. I will provide you with tactical guidance. If the French completely wipe out the US and Philippine troops in the Polillo area, you can suspend the attack In order to avoid causing heavy casualties to the troops!"

Later, Admiral Ito sent a telegram to Lieutenant Admiral Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, Commander of the Second Fleet of the Navy, and Lieutenant Admiral Masao Okamura, Commander of the Fourth Fleet, ordering the two fleets to intercept and kill at sea at any cost. The U.S. and Philippine troop carrier formations withdrawn to Australia!

The order has been issued. As for how the navy will fight and whether they dare to fight, that is their problem. If the two despicable guys, Baichuan and Gangcun, dare not intercept and kill the US and Philippine troop convoys, then they will They will never let them go easily. The charges of passive avoidance of war and fear of the enemy like a tiger will not escape, General Ito thought viciously.

Lieutenant General Chuntian, who received a call back from General Ito, stared at the telegram with straight eyes, held back for a long time with a livid face, and suddenly yelled, "I'm so mad!" , fell headlong to the ground.

At 29:[-] am on August [-]th, the last soldier of the [-]th Mechanized Infantry Division of the U.S. Army who had withdrawn from the Polillo blocking position boarded the transport ship. Lieutenant General Jonathan looked at it with complicated eyes. In the burning position of transpiration, I glanced at the city of Manila shrouded in gunpowder in the distance, let out a long sigh, and was the last one to board the transport ship.

Immediately, there were bursts of low-pitched sirens, as if a new owner for Luzon Island, and a final farewell. The Americans left, and the Japanese came. The troop carrier formation slowly left the port and sailed to the depths of the Pacific Ocean. .
