Age of Rebirth

A staff officer at the headquarters of the Kwantung Army's Third Air Force told the unbelievable news to all the Japanese officers that the five fighter wings were being attacked by the superior fighters of the independent division aviation unit and the Northern Flying Group. There is no way to stop fighting if you leave the battlefield. In terms of terms, you are surrounded by enemy planes!

Major General Qiujin understands better what this means. Most of the fighters of the Third Air Force will be lost in this air battle with disparity in strength. Since Liu Cuigang designed this trap, he will never let his own fleet go.

"What a vicious conspiracy!" Major General Qiujin grumbled in his throat, and sat down on the chair with a pale face, his eyes were straightened. Suddenly, his eyes shone with despair and fierceness, and he said in a gloomy tone: "Convey my order." , The sixth and seventh fighter wings, take off immediately, we must reinforce them!"

The staff officers were all shocked. Your Excellency, Commander, has already lost his position. Not to mention whether there is enough time, when the sixth and seventh fighter wings arrive at the air combat battlefield, they may not even be able to see the shadow of the aircraft of the independent division. After a deeper analysis, according to the intelligence sent by the fleet that is fighting hard, the number of fighter jets dispatched by the independent division fleet far exceeds the current strength of the Third Air Force. Even if two fighter wings are filled in, it is not enough Oh, maybe he fell into the trick of the Chinese people!

The staff officers hurriedly dissuaded, "Your Excellency, Commander, please take back the order. The only two fighter wings of our Third Air Force can no longer be in danger!" [

Major General Qiujin was furious, and shouted: "Baga! Could it be that I just watched. Five fighter wings, more than 300 of the best pilots of the empire, fell into the siege of China's air force, and did not go to rescue? Stop rambling, carry out the order, and in addition, order all the fighter brigades stationed on the front line of Fengtian in Liaozhong to reinforce immediately! Liu Cuigang, let's fight to the death!"

When Major General Qiujin gave the order, his eyes lit up.It was a desperate and ferocious light, but he did not lose his madness. In addition to the two main fighter wings, the fighter wing of the Third Air Force scattered on the front line of Liaozhong Fengtian, there are more than three hundred fighters. The size of the fighter jets, the two fleets at the front and the rear together, the number of more than 600 fighter jets, even if the loss is more than half.It also caused heavy casualties to the troops of Liu Cuigang, the damn Chinese.Before dying, he wanted to bite off a piece of Liu Cuigang's flesh.

The entire Liaodong Peninsula and the Japanese field airports in Liaozhong took immediate action. According to the order of Major General Qiujin, the commander of the Third Air Force, they rushed to the Liaodong Bay air battle battlefield from different directions. It was like a huge magnet, attracting everyone. Japanese fighter jets.

At this time, there was an air battle in Liaodong Bay.It was coming to an end. Under the heavy blow of the Northern Flying Group, more than 200 Japanese fighter jets were buried in the sea after more than two hours of air combat. Above the blue sky, the air combat battlefield had been divided into several large pieces.With Liu Cuigang in command, the battle was smooth and enjoyable.

The remaining less than a hundred Japanese fighter jets fled in all directions, and there was no way to form a counterattack force.To put it vividly, the Japanese fighter group has become a rout. What Liu Cuigang saw was the situation where his own pilots were chasing and attacking the Japanese fighter jets. This kind of situation excited him.

For the sporadic Japanese fighter jets that fled, Liu Cuigang did not order to chase them. After more than two hours of air combat, the fuel of the fighter jets was almost consumed. Until the Japanese fighter jets could no longer be seen in the field of vision, Liu Cuigang ordered: "Stop chasing. Remnants of the enemy, all return to the voyage, and after landing, each regiment counts the number of casualties and fighter jet losses, and informs the patrol boat detachment to search and rescue our parachuted pilots!"

With the joy of victory, the fleet returned to the voyage under the bright sunshine of Liaodong Bay. Suddenly, in Liu Cuigang's earphones, there was a call from the Jinzhou ground air finger: "No. [-]! No. [-]! This is the Jinzhou air finger. According to the report from the ground radar station, the Japanese air forces on the Fengtian line in Liaozhong are gathering in the air combat area. According to the numbers observed by the radar stations, the number of Japanese aircraft is about [-], and the leading aircraft group has already flown over Liaoyang. airspace!"

"In addition, the ground radar station in Huludao reported that two Japanese fighter jets from the Hengdaohe Airport and Wafangdian Airport on the Liaodong Peninsula are rushing to the air combat area!"

Liu Cuigang slapped his thigh happily and shouted repeatedly: "Okay, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The old devil Qiujin wants to work hard. Today is a good day for all the brothers of our Northern Flying Group to drink and eat meat!"

"Kongzhi, convey my order. The first and second fighter regiments that have returned will take off immediately to face the little devils in the direction of the Liaodong Peninsula. The No. 11 and [-] fighter regiments will withdraw from the eastern front. , join this direction, and other fighter regiments will split up to face the little devil fighter group from Fengtian direction, remember, in each attack direction, you must form a superior force in the situation!"

After giving the order, Liu Cuigang was overjoyed. He felt that today is definitely a good day. Since that old devil in Qiujin was stupid and went all out to fight for his life, it was in his favor. In terms of the number and performance of fighter jets, the quality of pilots, and combat experience, the Kwantung Army The Third Air Force couldn't catch up even if they flattered their horses. "This battle is getting more and more interesting!" Liu Cuigang said to himself.

Jinzhou, Dongzhi Headquarters, a staff officer, just finished reporting the situation, the deputy commander Liu Tiehan touched the stubble on his chin, and said with a smile: "Mr. Commander, I am afraid that this battle has exceeded Liu Cuigang's expectations. , It was originally a partial air battle, but now, Japanese fighter jets from the Liaodong Peninsula, including the Fengtian line in Liaozhong, are swarming in. This time, Liu Cuigang can fight!"

Tang Qiuli looked at the proud Liu Tiehan and said, "Brother Tiehan, don't you worry about Liu Cuigang being overwhelmed by so many Japanese fighter jets?"

Liu Tiehan shook his head indifferently, and replied: "I'm not worried at all. Liu Cuigang is very strong. There are seventeen regiments of fighter jets alone. All Japanese fighter jets in the Liaodong Peninsula, including the Fengtian line in central Liao Add it all together, he is not as rich as his family, he is not worried, what am I worried about, you didn't hear the tone of the conversation with us just now, this kid is very excited now, I wish the little devil would find him to work hard!"

After saying this, Liu Tiehan asked back: "Master, are you worried?"

Tang Qiuli laughed out loud, of course he wasn't worried. When reviewing Liu Cuigang's battle plan, he had already estimated all possible situations, and the current situation appeared, as expected, "Brother Tiehan, it seems that the two of us Tonight, it may cost money, how about you and I as hosts, celebrating the achievements of all the officers above the regiment level of the Northern Flying Group?" He said with a smile.

Liu Tiehan stared at Tang Qiuli for a while, and said: "Master, this is not in compliance with the rules. With you as the master, you still use our subordinates to pay for it. Besides, your allowance is more expensive than mine every month." It is still your proposal to pay an extra five or sixty yuan, so it is only right and proper for me to pay out of my mouth, don’t you think so?”

Hearing the two big brothers of the Independent Division bickering there, pointing eastward to Yang Ketian, the chief of staff, just having fun with his head, seeing the deputy commander asking himself, Yang Ketian said very seriously: "The duty of the chief of staff, the commander, and the chief of staff is to be tight-lipped. Tell me, sir, anyway, if there are two teachers who eat, I will eat, no matter who pays for it!"

Liu Tiehan stretched out his thumb and said: "Teacher, look at Ketian, he is an honest man, what he said is very good, right? Follow the officer, you can eat everything, teacher, you are my officer !"[

Tang Qiuli stared at Liu Tiehan and Yang Ketian, who had very sincere expressions, and said in a word: "Typical rip-off!" As soon as the words fell, the three laughed together.

At around [-] o'clock in the evening on September [-]th, various units of the Northern Flying Group, which participated in the battle, returned one after another. From [-] o'clock in the morning, the attack on the Manchukuo Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet began, and until about [-] o'clock in the evening, the battle lasted for more than seven hours. The air battle finally came to an end.

This was a big air battle beyond everyone's expectations. Neither Major General Liu Cuigang, commander of the Northern Aviation Group of the Independent Division Aviation, nor Major General Akitsu, commander of the Third Air Force of the Japanese Kwantung Army, expected that the scale of the battle would be so large. , The air combat battlefield extends from the sea area of ​​Liaodong Bay to the front lines of Anshan, Liaozhong, and Liaoyang. The Northern Aviation Group has successively invested [-] fighter regiments and [-] bomber regiments, with a total of more than [-] sorties.

The Third Air Force of the Japanese Kwantung Army successively invested seven fighter wings and 23 fighter brigades. Nearly [-] fighter jets from both sides fought from the vast expanse of Liaodong Bay airspace to the West Liaohe River Basin on land. Rescue the Manchukuo Bohai Cruise Fleet, which evolved into the main air force of the independent division in the north, and the main air force of the Kwantung Army in the northeast, a decisive air battle.

At around six o'clock in the evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shrouded the ancient city of Jinzhou. In the office of Commander Liu Cuigang, the commander Liu Cuigang was reporting the statistics of combat losses.

"Commander, the battle losses of the participating regiments have been counted. During the air battle that lasted more than seven hours, our group lost a total of 97 fighter jets. Among them, 52 pilots were killed, 45 parachuted, and 34 people have been rescued. , and the whereabouts of eleven other pilots are unknown, the coastal patrol boat detachment is doing its best to search and rescue in the waters of Liaodong Bay, so far, there is no news!"

Liu Cuigang rubbed his face vigorously with his hands. The joy of victory was diluted by the huge number of casualties. After an air battle, two fighter regiments were almost wiped out, which made his heart feel like a tearing pain.
