Age of Rebirth

"Haney?" Major General Kumamoto exclaimed in surprise, while frantically driving the plane, making a series of movements to avoid the bullets shooting from all directions, his head was in a mess, he was not only surprised, but extremely horrified.

Major General Kumamoto can be sure that the fighter group of the independent division that surrounded and killed his bomber came from the direction of the mountain. , Later, more than 800 fighters joined the air combat battlefield. Now, behind the fleet, there are nearly 100 fighters from the independent division. There are more than [-] fighters from the independent division. Air Siege.

Major General Kumamoto can still calculate such a simple addition arithmetic. The power ratio between the enemy and us is not two to one as he estimated, but the current four to one. The independent division fighter group attacking his own bomber formation is basically cut off. The retreat of the Third Air Force was flanking back and forth, "The cunning of the Chinese, this is a fatal blow!" Major General Kumamoto sighed inwardly. He already had a premonition that the Third Air Force might be in danger.

Major General Kumamoto felt infinite sadness in his heart, "I used all kinds of tactics, why did I still fall into the situation where I was flanked by front and back? Where was the mistake?" He couldn't figure it out!

Look at the disrupted battle formation of the Third Air Force, and then look at your surroundings. There are continuous explosions in the air, or dragging a long black smoke, and the Royal Army fighter jets that plunge into the ground. The heart of Major General Kumamoto is burning. Crazy with angry flames, "Since there is no way to retreat, let's fight to the death! Since the Third Air Force is destined to end in death, then burn their lives and cause the biggest loss to the damn Chinese pilots!"

Major General Kumamoto has made up his mind to die.Although the result of this determination is so tragic, he has no hesitation, "All the imperial pilots of the Third Air Force, I am the commander, Major General Kumamoto, and I have to tell you that we have fallen into the siege of the large Chinese fleet In the middle, and not behind our retreat, nearly [-] fighter jets from the independent division appeared, attacking our bomber formation!"

"Your gentlemen are clear. What does this mean to our Third Air Force?—It means that the time has come for us to be loyal to the Great Japanese Empire and His Majesty the Emperor! I ordered the fleet to retreat immediately and fight bloody battles with the Chinese pilots In the end! The spirit of the warriors of the Yamato nation. It will bloom beautifully in the sky of the Korean peninsula. It is as brilliant as a cherry blossom. It is only for the eternity that blooms at that moment, the air warriors of the empire, attack!" Major General Kumamoto ordered the hysterical company shouted with mobilization.

After calming down his emotions, Major General Kumamoto opened the call with the commander of the bomber formation, Ono Dasao, and said in a hollow tone: "Ono-kun, the fighter group is surrounded by the independent division's fleet, and it has no power to support the bombers. Formation escort, you can determine the method of retreat yourself, but I ask you. Ono-kun, before being shot down, you must prove yourself in the way of the Imperial Japanese Army, and you are worthy of the honor of the Yamato national samurai!"

Major General Kumamoto's words ignited the madness hidden in the hearts of the Japanese pilots. They also knew that today, facing so many fighters from the Independent Division, it was absolutely impossible for them to retreat completely. Nearly [-] fighter jets from the independent division, attacking from front to back, there will be no luck, Yu Sui's fate is doomed, so let's fight to the death!

The fighter jets of the Japanese Third Air Force broke out into hysterical ferocity. The Japanese pilots, like a group of wolves who were driven to a dead end by hunters, had red eyes and did not take evasive actions. Bumped over in a daze.

Le Yiqin was at a high altitude, seeing the situation on the battlefield clearly. Seeing that the Japanese fighter pilots were going all out, she couldn't help laughing. There was endless coldness in the laughter, "Here again, from the sky to the ground , I’ve seen it too much! It’s okay to scare the Americans and the British, but scare me, hehehe, that’s courting death!”

"Attention all the pilots of the formation, the little devils are going to desperately, be smart, don't be bitten by the temporary little devils, it would be a shame, I don't care if you are three-on-one or five-on-one, in short, you can kill For the little devil’s fighter, the principle is to be unharmed!” Le Yiqin simply ordered, in fact, he had given a countermeasure to deal with the Japanese fighter pilots’ desperate fight, which was to fight more and fight less.

After giving the order, Le Yiqin called again: "Zheng Shaofu, how is the fighting situation there?"

In the earphones, Colonel Zheng Shaofu, the commander of the Gunshan Escort Fleet, heard a happy voice, "Reporting to the commander, it's fun! It's like hitting a living target. More than 260 little devil bombers have now been killed. More than 190, I left a fighter regiment to kill the remaining little devil bombers, and I led the rest of the fighters, approaching the battlefield of the air battle, and in 10 minutes, we can join the battle!"

"Well, you did a good job. Just to remind you, the pilots of the little devils are now desperately trying to tell all the pilots in your formation, don't suffer from this, it's not worth being bitten by a dying mad dog, give me the smart Hurry up!" Le Yiqin reminded.

The vast airspace between Mokpo and the mountains became the escort fighter group of the Japanese Third Air Force and the Independent Division. More than 600 fighters fought on the battlefield. In the blue sky, the fighters of both sides flew up and down, chasing each other. , Spraying a string of scorching bullets into the air, the air was covered with light white ballistics. The last madness of the Japanese Third Air Force did not change the established ending.

The Japanese fighter group at an absolute disadvantage, like hungry wolves caught in a trap, struggled desperately and bared their white fangs, but the outcome was already doomed. Major General Kumamoto's landline was surrounded by four fighter jets. The fighters of the independent division, with crossfire, were blown into pieces in the air. After more than an hour, only the fighters of the independent division that had started to form were left in the sky.

Le Yiqin smiled quite complacently, and turned on the intercom, "Qingdao ground air control, the escort fleet commander Le Yiqin reported that after more than two hours of air combat, I escorted the fighter jets in the airspace between Mokpo and the mountains, The Third Air Force of the Japanese Army was completely wiped out, and none of the Japanese combat aircraft slipped through the net. Now, I am directing the fleet to return! In addition, my bomber fleet bombed the Japanese positions, please coordinate with the Southeast Mobile Corps Command!"

"Reporting to the commander, the escort aircraft group let the commander telegraph, I escort the fighter group, in the airspace between Mokpo and Gunsan, wipe out the mixed aircraft group of the Japanese Third Air Force, none of the Japanese combat aircraft slipped through the net, and the aircraft fleet is returning!" A The communications staff, holding a telegram, excitedly ran into Liu Cuigang's office, reading the telegram aloud.

"Okay!" Liu Cuigang slammed the table fiercely, and shouted, "Notify the airports everywhere, and prepare for the return of the aircraft fleet!" After the communication staff went out, he narrowly said to Dong Ningxuan and He Zhijun: "Both Chief of Staff, the result of waiting and seeing surprises you?"

He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan smiled awkwardly, admitting that they had misjudged the air combat situation before, especially He Zhijun, when facing Liu Cuigang, he was not as open as he was when facing Le Yiqin. The expression was even more embarrassing, but Dong Ningxuan didn't care who it was, and opened his mouth to justify a few words.

Liu Cuigang said with a smile: "Come on, stop! Don't explain, Chief of Staff, immediately report the victory of the escort fleet to the division commander, the cross-sea command headquarters, and Commander Ma of the Southeast Mobile Corps! The fighter jets are over, Next, it's time for the landing force to play the leading role!"

Regarding the victory telegram of Qingdao ground air finger, the division commander Tang Qiuli, who was far away in Kailu County, Mengdong, just said a few words to the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe, "As expected, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang People with melon seeds, rich experience in air combat command, combined with the main force of the two major aviation groups in the north and the south, and the ground radar station to cooperate fully, when dealing with a second-rate land-based air force of the Japanese army, it will be abnormal if it does not fight well!"

However, Zhao Yuhe felt that the division commander was a bit picky. In any case, this was another major victory for the aviation force after the Kwantung Army's air force was completely wiped out. It completely controlled the air supremacy on the Korean Peninsula battlefield. , send a commendation telegram to the Airmen?" he suggested.

Tang Qiuli looked Zhao Yuhe up and down, and said, "What's the reward? It's just the beginning, and the more intense battle is yet to come. Call back the Air Force Qingdao Air Finger. I know all the calls. The Air Force is responsible for controlling the battlefields of the Korean Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula." Do not be complacent about the victory in the first battle! The focus of the future air battle will be the Japanese air force from the mainland of Japan. Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin should make mental preparations early!"

Zhao Yuhe was speechless for a while, aggrieved for Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, not to mention not rewarding them for winning the battle, but even pouring cold water on their heads.He shook his head and went out to telegraph.

After receiving Liu Cuigang's telegram, Tang Qiuquan, who was on the flagship, smiled slightly, and solved the problem of the Japanese land-based air force reinforced from Japan. The air supremacy on the Korean Peninsula battlefield was completely in his own hands. In the aviation battle, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang did a great job, winning consecutive battles, and the two landing troops started the landing operations without any worries.

"Communication staff officer!" Tang Qiuquan shouted loudly. A young officer with the rank of captain pushed the door open, stood at attention and saluted, and asked respectfully, "Commander, what orders do you have?"

Tang Qiuquan pondered for a while and said, "Record the following telegram..."
