Age of Rebirth

In the airspace of the Korean Strait, a mixed fleet composed of hundreds of Japanese fighter jets and bombers is flying at high speed towards Mokpo at different altitudes. The commander of the mixed fleet of the Japanese Korean Peninsula United Air Force and the commander of the First Fighter Wing Wing Commander Kimura Dasa , very satisfied looking at the fleet under his command, the words of Commander Sato echoed in his mind, "Don't love to fight, remember, your fleet only has no more than 10 minutes. Within minutes, we must end the battle and return!"

Regarding Commander Sato's words, Chief Kimura did not dare to take it lightly, but he was not nervous to that extent. After being transferred from the Home Air Defense Command to the newly formed Korean Peninsula United Air Force and stationed at the field airport on Kyushu Island, he only heard the sound of the strait. Over there, the guns were fired all day long, and the fight was lively, but there was no experience of fighting against the Chinese pilots. This is undoubtedly very regrettable for Mr. Kimura, who is eager to make contributions.

But Mr. Kimura is not as arrogant as ordinary imperial officials. Before coming to Kyushu Island, he learned about the opponents of the United Air Force of the Korean Peninsula through various channels, and independently designed the Northern Air Force Group of the Air Force. According to Mr. Kimura, that It is a behemoth with nearly [-] combat aircraft. Perhaps, the Imperial Army Aviation needs to concentrate several joint air teams to compete with it.

Moreover, the air supremacy of this independent division aviation in the northern region has an astonishing record. Its commander Liu Cuigang is known for his extremely dangerous and ruthless commanding combat style. He is an authentic aerial killer. Kimura alone As far as the Colonel knows, there are several air teams of the Imperial Army Air Force, which are in the hands of this person, as close as the Third United Air Force of Kyushu Island.The Kwantung Army Air Corps, so, in the face of such an opponent, Chief Kimura never dared to have the slightest arrogance.

However, this does not prevent Chief Kimura from making some adjustments in the tactics of this bombing mission. According to his idea, instead of bombing the ground troops of the Independent Division, it is better to simply concentrate all the bombers and air strike the fleet of the Independent Division.The significance of sinking a warship is much more valuable than killing dozens of Chinese soldiers!

The idea of ​​Chief Kimura was implemented in his order, "Order, bomber formation. Abandon the plan to bomb the Chinese infantry and concentrate all forces. Bomb the Chinese warships. The second fighter wing, with two brigades of fighter jets, the former Out of the bombing airspace [-] kilometers away, if you find an independent division fighter group coming from the direction of the Shandong Peninsula, intercept it at any cost!"

"Order, 10nd Fighter Wing. Use two brigades of fighters to straf the infantry positions of the independent division, focusing on valuable targets. [-]st Fighter Wing, and the rest of the fighter brigade, follow me as the bomber group Escort! Remind everyone to pay attention, within [-] minutes, the battle must be over!"

Colonel Kimura was extra careful and sent two battalions of fighter jets to go out on guard. Once the fighter jets of the independent division came from the opposite side of the Yellow Sea, the two fighter battalions on guard would at least be able to fight for more than ten minutes for the main fleet. In other words, once the large fleet of the independent division really arrives, it will be worthwhile to exchange for the safety of most of the combat aircraft in the fleet at the cost of all the two fighter brigades!

This is a typical practice of sacrificing part of the body in exchange for overall security. As for the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier of the independent division fleet, General Kimura is not worried. Although he is in the Army Air Corps, he is not a layman when it comes to the navy. In the waters of the peninsula, there are only four aircraft carriers of the independent division fleet, and the number of fighter jets on board is only between 150 and 160. With a fighter wing and two brigades, no matter what, they have absolute control Advantage.

What's more, in the direction of Incheon, the independent division's carrier-based aircraft will be dispersed. The number of enemy aircraft that landed in Mokpo's airspace is no more than seventy or eighty. In a fight, it is also a two-to-one advantage. General Kimura's judgment on the battle situation, Quite accurately, Tang Yunfei did not have more than eighty carrier-based fighter jets in Mokpo airspace.

The air battle started first on the Mokpo battlefield. Japanese fighter jets from two brigades roared down from the sky. The Japanese pilots opened fire on all targets they saw, flying at a very low altitude. Machine gun bullets poured down from high altitude, without the threat of enemy fighter jets, these Japanese pilots acted very recklessly.

However, even the Southeast Mobile Corps without anti-aircraft artillery fire was not a target to be ravaged by Japanese fighter jets. When the Japanese fighter jets dived and fired, countless sparks suddenly appeared from the ground and hit the Japanese fighter jets head-on. It was a salvo of thousands of light and heavy machine guns, and in just one round, several fireballs exploded in the sky. Seven Japanese fighter jets were smashed into pieces by the volley, and three or four more, with black smoke, crooked Run away obliquely to the southeast.

The sudden rain of bullets on the ground frightened the remaining Japanese fighter jets, and they climbed up to the altitude like crazy, and Commander Kimura, who was flying over from a high altitude, could not help frowning. He was quite dissatisfied with the performance of his subordinates. He was also secretly shocked by the power of the independent division's organized use of infantry light weapons for air defense. He knew that his subordinates underestimated the enemy.

"Baga! Is this how the ground attack is carried out? The two brigades attacking the infantry positions of the Independent Division pay attention, look for valuable targets to attack! Pay attention to the ground air defense firepower," he cursed fiercely, and then reminded.

The mixed fleet of Japanese troops flew over Mokpo Beach very quickly. On the choppy sea in the distance, more than a dozen warships of the independent division, like small black dots, appeared in the field of vision of Chief Kimura, especially the four huge ships. The aircraft carrier is more eye-catching, Kimura Colonel felt hot, "Attention the bomber formation, abandon other targets, concentrate on attacking the aircraft carrier of the independent division fleet, escort the fighter group, and seize the high alert!" He issued a series of orders.

The mixed fleet of the Japanese army was immediately divided into two parts. The fighter jets climbed to the height, and the bomber fleet began to rush towards the warships of the Independent Division at full speed. He ignored the Japanese fighter jets that were climbing, and directly killed the Japanese bomber fleet.

The independent division's carrier-based fighter jet fired, "Da! Da! Da!" Several chains of fire emerged from the nose of the aircraft, and the sky was immediately covered with pale white ballistics. The gunshots spread in the air, "Boom! Boom! Boom!" After several explosions, more than a dozen fireballs mixed with thick smoke appeared in the sky. When the aircraft group dived, they caught the Japanese bomber group by surprise. the sea.

"Baga! Cunning and insidious Chinese people, hateful!" Looking at the remaining bombers who were shot down, after being attacked, they fled in all directions and completely lost their formation. Under such circumstances, if they enter the bombing again The channel needs to readjust the formation. If there is enough time, it is not a problem to do so, but it is only a matter of a few minutes, but there is only 10 minutes of effective attack time, and a few minutes is very precious. Chief Kimura cursed angrily.

The tactics adopted by the independent division’s carrier-based fighter jets were obviously beyond Mrs. Kimura’s expectations. How could anyone not attack the fighter jets first, “Escort the fighter jet group and kill the fighter jets of the independent division immediately! Don’t let these nasty Chinese people go!” He said The order to attack was issued.

More than 150 Japanese fighter jets rushed over viciously. However, the Japanese fighter pilots found out with a headache that more than [-] carrier-based fighter jets from the independent division had rushed into their own bomber fleet and mixed together. Instead, it became a cover for the damned China fighter jets to avoid attacks, and the Japanese fighter pilots were so angry that they screamed.

A melee in the air began, and the high-speed and flexible characteristics of the "Zero" fighter jets were greatly restricted. Regarding this, Colonel Kimura was helpless. He could only order the fighter jets to attack with all their strength. There was something bad in his heart. Feeling, if this delay continues, can the bombing mission be completed within 10 minutes?

Some Japanese bombers escaped the attack of independently designed carrier-based fighter jets and rushed towards the warships on the sea. However, the anti-aircraft artillery fire on the warships began to roar, and the sky was covered with black smoke. The anti-aircraft artillery shells exploded into a deadly fire net composed of countless shrapnel on the bombing channel of the Japanese bombers. All the Japanese bombers that got into the fire net were all torn to pieces.

In addition, the warships of the independent division on the sea were firing at high speed while maneuvering, making it difficult for the Japanese bombers to lock on to the target. Such maneuvers were not just to avoid the Japanese bombers, but to do arc maneuvers around the four aircraft carriers. , In the airspace above the aircraft carrier, a fire net was woven, so that all Japanese bombers who attempted to bomb the aircraft carrier did not dare to dive. The bombs dropped by the Japanese bombers roared down from time to time, but they all deviated from the target. On the sea, a column of water exploded into the sky !

Fighting in the air and sea, including on land, was extremely intense. The whistling ballistic trajectory was intertwined back and forth, and the battle was in a stalemate. Colonel Kimura was going crazy. Looking at the time, nearly 10 minutes had passed. The wingman left the position of commander and joined the fighting group.

Colonel Kimura was lucky. Just after he joined the battle group, he discovered that after killing one of his own bombers, a carrier-based fighter of an independent division was hit by bullets fired by two of his own fighters. Black smoke, distorted flight movements, he immediately rushed forward, the aperture of the sight firmly locked on the wounded independent division carrier-based fighter, and viciously pressed the machine gun fire button.
