Age of Rebirth

Major General Kumamoto, the commander of the Third Air Force of Kyushu Island, assigned to the Japanese and Korean troops stationed in Kyushu, began to play the tactics he thought he was best at. At least from the superficial actions of the Japanese mixed fleet, the Japanese fleet was divided into three parts. Covering the three places of Mokpo, Gunsan and Incheon, Major General Kumamoto wanted to know how he would react to the sudden arrival of an independent division fleet divided into three escorts?

"Reporting to the commander, the ground radar station reported that after the Japanese mixed aircraft group turned to Incheon, two of them were separated and rushed to the airspace of Mokpo and Gunsan respectively!" A staff officer put down the phone and hurriedly reported.

He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan, who were closely following the movement of the Japanese mixed aircraft fleet, were shocked again after hearing the staff officer's report, and they all turned their attention to Liu Cuigang. They really couldn't figure out what the Japanese air fleet commander was up to. gimmick?

Liu Cuigang's gaze jumped, and he asked, "How many fighter jets are there from the Japanese fleet?"

The staff officer replied: "According to the report from the ground radar station, the number of Japanese fighter jets attacking Mokpo and Gunsan is two brigades respectively!"

With a mocking sneer on the corner of Liu Cuigang's mouth, he said to the staff officer: "Okay, I got it, order the ground radar station to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese fleet!"

After the staff officer left, Dong Ningxuan couldn't help but said: "Commander, I don't understand why the Japanese fleet made such a move. Could it be that they wanted to attack our landing troops at three landing locations at the same time? If so, In terms of the number of combat aircraft, the Japanese army does not have an advantage anywhere!"

Liu Cuigang smiled coldly and said, "Two chiefs of staff, do you think that there are only two fighter battalions with no more than [-] fighter jets. Do you have the ability to defeat my escort fighter jet group and severely damage my landing force?"

Dong Ningxuan and He Zhijun shook their heads at the same time, and replied simply: "No, I'm afraid the Japanese fighter jets of the two brigades will be dumped by the fighter jets escorted by me before they approach the target airspace!"

Liu Cuigang waved his remaining arm and said, "This is a smoke screen cast by the commander of the Japanese mixed aircraft fleet, intending to disturb our sight. It's a small trick. Don't worry about it. I'm sure that within 10 minutes, the Japanese army's mixed aircraft fleet will definitely turn around." Let’s go back to the original course—Mokpo is still the airspace where the Japanese army will focus their decisive battle!”

It's not just the chiefs of staff of the two major aviation groups of the Independent Division Aviation who are confused.Even the captains of the fighter wings of the Third Air Force were also completely confused.They simply cannot understand.Commander Kumamoto, what are you doing here?Not only did he blatantly disobey the orders of the North Korean Garrison Command, but he also sent a small number of fighter jets one after another to fly to Mokpo and Gunsan respectively. Could it be that he wanted to attack the landing troops of the Independent Division at the same time?

Although the Japanese fighter wing commanders of the Third Air Force.Very confident and arrogant, but not arrogant enough to attack the independent division's three-way escort fleet at the same time with the strength of an air force.Although he hated Major General Kumamoto's order so much, he didn't dare to disobey the order. Major General Kumamoto was in the Third Air Force, and he was a one-size-fits-all existence.

Major General Kumamoto was secretly proud of himself. Not only did he stage a trick, so he set up doubts, but also used a trick to confuse the public. He believed that as long as he combined his plan, not only General Tanaka would be confused, but even the commander of the escort fleet of the Independent Division would be confused. , also got dazzled, and his real killing move is still behind!

General Tanaka's stern order, after arriving at the headquarters of the Third Air Force, but the Chief of Staff Ikebe, who was in command of the headquarters and commanded the air combat, was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. In terms of affiliation, the Third Air Force It belongs to the combat sequence of the North Korean Garrison Army, and the order of the Garrison Army Command is the highest order. Failure to obey it means disobeying the military order, and the crime of beheading is always there.

However, Chief of Staff Ikebe really dare not report the order of the North Korean Garrison Command to Major General Kumamoto who is in the sky. The entire Third Air Force is in the sky. General Tanaka said that he withdrew the air fleet The commander withdrew?Who will command the mixed fleet?Isn't it a situation where dragons have no leader!

Chief of Staff Ikebe looked down upon General Tanaka, "He's an out-and-out layman, doesn't he think that he treats his division commander as if he was dismissed, and someone else will be sent to take over immediately, air combat, that's in the sky, even if If you want to dismiss Major General Kumamoto, you have to wait until the air battle is over, right?" He secretly slandered, and finally decided that the orders from the North Korean Garrison Command should not be reported to Commander Kumamoto who is in the sky for the time being.

A senior staff officer was breathless, and said stupidly: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, this is an order personally issued by General Tanaka, the commander of the North Korean Garrison Army. Our Third Air Force has no right to refuse to execute it!"

Chief of Staff Chi Bian, looking at this senior staff officer with the rank of Colonel, who seemed to be the most qualified officer in the Empire of Japan, was furious at that time, and said in a cold tone: "Senior Gu Chuan, the North Korean Garrison Army How do we carry out the command of the headquarters? Is it possible to order General Kumamoto to return immediately and hand over the command, or should I fly the plane again, catch up with the mixed formation, and take over the command?"

If it weren't for the fact that the other party's military rank was higher than his own, Chief of Staff Chi Bian would have yelled, "You fucking know what a fart! You are a pure layman, I really don't know, how could the General Staff send you who don't know anything about air combat?" Guys, come to Third Air Force!"

This senior staff officer was speechless for a long time at Chi Bian Zhongzuo's harsh words, and he couldn't refute. His face was purple, he swallowed with difficulty, and retreated to the side without a word. The guy who was dismissed by the general is flying in the sky. Can't he be allowed to leave hundreds of combat planes and return?The things in the sky are completely different from those on the ground, so I am really fucking looking for embarrassment!

Three or ten minutes later, Major General Kumamoto called the fighters of the four brigades sent out, "How is the situation? Have you found the escort fleet of the Independent Division?"

The answers I got were basically different, "In the direction of Gunsan, no independent division fighter group has been found yet, and in the direction of Mokpo, a large number of independent division fighter groups have been found, and they are flying to the direction of Incheon!" Major General Kumamoto smiled triumphantly, and issued an order: "Mokpo direction The aircraft fleet immediately return to the formation, and the aircraft fleet in the direction of the mountains, continue to go out for reconnaissance!"

"Attention all of the Third Air Force, immediately change back to the original route, and continue to fly to the Mokpo airspace, the eagles of the empire, on the Mokpo beach, there are countless Chinese soldiers, waiting for us to bomb, go full speed! Mokpo, will It is the place where our Third Air Force became famous in the first battle! Let the broken arms of Chinese soldiers cover the beach of Mokpo, and the blood of Chinese soldiers stain the surface of the Yellow Sea red!"

Major General Kumamoto thought that his combination of tactics was enough to disturb the vision and thinking of the commander of the independent division's escort fleet, and transferred the fighter jets of the independent division in the direction of Mokpo to the direction of Incheon. Symmetrically, all the actions of the Third Air Force are monitored by the ground radar station of the Air Force of the Independent Division. Every move cannot escape the eyes of the radar, but in the Japanese army, there is no such radar, so, from the very beginning, it was Doomed the fate of the Third Air Force!

Major General Kumamoto was constantly resorting to tricks, setting off smoke bombs, and Le Yiqin in the air, so he was making fake moves. After receiving Liu Cuigang's report, Le Yiqin immediately realized that the Japanese fighter jets from the two brigades that came, He was definitely not here to fight, but to scout the situation in the air. Well, he will follow the plan. Therefore, he ordered the fleet to turn to the direction of Incheon in the existing airspace, creating the illusion of chasing the Japanese fleet.

"Reporting to the commander, the Japanese mixed fleet changed its course again 5 minutes ago, and the target is still Mokpo airspace. The previous two battalions of Japanese fighter jets returned to the formation, and the two battalions of Japanese fighter jets in the direction of Gunsan continued to fly to Gunsan. Offshore direction!" A staff officer ran over and reported.

Dong Ningxuan and He Zhijun looked at each other, feeling relieved. Liu Cuigang smiled lightly and said, "Okay, let's report this situation to Commander Le immediately. The next thing is to escort the fighter group!"

After Liu Cuigang ordered the staff, he smiled and said to He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan: "You two chiefs of staff, don't worry now, do it!"

Dong Ningxuan was very upset. In fact, He Zhijun was not like this. The two chiefs of staff both made wrong judgments when the enemy's situation changed. Strictly speaking, this was dereliction of duty. "Commander, I am ashamed. Just now. ...!" Dong Ningxuan did not sit down, but said so.

"Okay, don't blame yourself! It is normal for you to make such a judgment! There is no right or wrong! There is no need to review, in fact, there is a basic truth in it, the little devil is just such a few combat aircraft, no matter how hard he is, He will finally choose a direction of attack, where will it be? Only Mokpo! The reason is very simple. The Japanese and Korean troops stationed in the south of Incheon are all assembled on the line from Mokpo to Busan. Incheon obviously does not want to defend. His plane, Will you never go to the Land of Abandonment?"

"Actually, many of the strategies used on the ground battlefield can be used in the sky. In addition to strength, fighting is nothing more than using means and strategies. In the end, it depends on who is better. Chief of Staff He, your Commander Le, is here In the Indochina Peninsula, they used it a lot, and the commander used strategy when commanding ground battles!" With a smile on his face, Liu Cuigang easily pointed out the shortcomings of Dong Ningxuan and He Zhijun's narrow battlefield thinking.

Le Yiqin grinned loudly after receiving the report from the air finger on the ground in Qingdao, "It's interesting, the little devil has come up with a trick that he thinks is dazzling, follow along? I beat you land, sea and air force in the Indochina Peninsula You bastard, don't you know where to doze off in that corner?"
