Age of Rebirth

Major General Sato, the commander of the Japanese Korean Peninsula Joint Air Force, was not only surprised by the sudden ground artillery fire, but also overjoyed. He admired the wisdom of these Chinese people. First, he used some construction waste to cover up the Incheon Airport, which was about to be repaired. It was like a ruin, and then concealed the anti-aircraft artillery around the airport. This is probably what the Chinese people said in the art of war, "Show it as weak and hide it!"

If you think that Incheon Airport cannot be put into use in a short period of time and give up the plan of bombing, you can save it under the superior air power of the imperial army, cunning, really cunning, Major General Sato praised, it is a compliment to the enemy, independent It is not easy for the division's ground air defense force to tolerate their own bombers and only fire after entering the bombing channel.

However, all of this is in vain, "Order, all fighter formations, clear ground anti-aircraft firepower, bomber formations, cancel the previous order, and conduct a second bombing of Incheon Airport. All bombing operations must be within 10 minutes. Done!" Major General Sato gave the order with the mood of looking at the prey.

As Japanese fighter jets joined the ranks of ground-stripping, in the airspace of Incheon Airport, ground artillery fire and Japanese air firepower intertwined back and forth, causing billows of smoke and dust. The First Air Defense Brigade of the Northern Aviation Group of the Air Force faced hundreds of Japanese combat aircraft. Under the great pressure, the casualties continued to increase!

The carrier-based fighter formation commanded by Tang Yunfei, in the Japanese bomber formation, mingled with the fighter jets escorted by the Japanese army, was engulfed, and gradually moved away from the Incheon airspace, but he had no choice but to force a breakthrough at this time and escape from the Japanese army. The bomber is a hide-and-seek cover, and the remaining sixty or so fighter jets.If he was exposed to the Japanese fighter jets, he would be besieged and killed by the Japanese army. He sighed, full of frustration in his heart!

The situation in the air battle in the direction of Mokpo was similar. Although the carrier-based fighter group of the independent division in this direction adopted correct tactics, it was unable to fundamentally make up for the disadvantage in numbers, and more and more were shot down.So far, more than [-] carrier-based fighter jets have been shot down by Japanese fighter jets. However, the Japanese bomber fleet has not taken advantage of it in the slightest.It was beaten to pieces, as for the bombing of warships on the sea.Even more ineffective.

The two Japanese fighter battalions responsible for attacking the positions of the Southeast Mobile Corps were even worse.Under the intensive firepower of thousands of light and heavy machine guns on the ground, they did not dare to dive and shoot at all. They hovered back and forth at high altitudes to avoid the rain of bullets on the ground as dense as migratory locusts. The air warriors of the Empire of Japan were not afraid of death.He has the courage to dedicate his life to His Majesty the Emperor and the Empire, but to seek death on his own initiative is something no one wants to do!

After 15 minutes, Mr. Kimura knew.Nothing can be done, commanding the overwhelmingly superior mixed fleet, the fierce attack and bombing for more than ten minutes did not achieve the expected effect. On the sea, the warships of the independent division are still maneuvering rapidly, spraying intensive artillery fire, The four aircraft carriers were not damaged at all. The intensive anti-aircraft firepower of the destroyers and frigates protected the air above the aircraft carrier like an iron barrel. All the bombers that rushed into the fire net were smashed into pieces without exception.

As for the shooting down of more than [-] carrier-based aircraft of the independent division, Chief Kimura did not feel happy at all. The fighter jets he commanded did not suffer much loss, but eleven were shot down, but the bomber group was miserable. Three times were shot down. There are more than a dozen fighters, and it is meaningless to continue the battle. Besides, the huge monster of the Northern Aviation Group of the Independent Division, with thousands of fighter jets, will pounce on it at any time.

Colonel Kimura shook his head, feeling a little lost, with the intention of retreating, "Attention all formations of the mixed aircraft group, leave the battle and return immediately, the bomber group begins to evacuate, and the fighter group is responsible for covering!" He issued an order.

The Japanese fleet began to disengage from the battle consciously, "Report to Commander Kimura, emergency! Emergency! My alert fleet found that a large number of fighter jets from the Independent Division flying from the direction of the Yellow Sea are rapidly approaching the airspace of Mokpo. Our brigade has already contacted the enemy plane. Fight!" From the earphones of Colonel Kimura, suddenly came the second fighter wing, two fighter battalions on alert, and one of the captains was full of anxious reports.

"Hani?" Commander Kimura exclaimed, why did the reinforcements from the Independent Division arrive so quickly, and I had already strictly grasped the time, but I was still caught. The warning distance of [-] kilometers is only a few for high-speed fighter jets. In just a few minutes, your own fighter group can evacuate before the arrival of enemy reinforcements, but what about the bombers?

Colonel Kimura was so anxious that his brow was full of sweat. He could only hope that the two fighter battalions that were on alert would hold back the reinforcement fleet of the Independent Division and buy more than ten minutes for the bomber fleet. In the encirclement of enemy planes, more than ten planes have been shot down, and there are about two hundred enemy fighter planes. We cannot intercept them, so we request to return! Otherwise, our brigade will be destroyed!"

Before Colonel Kimura could give the order, another captain called out in panic, "Hani??" Colonel Kimura almost passed out. There were more than [-] fighters, more than the number of fighters he had. , I am exhausted from fighting for a long time, and the enemy is full of vigor, is there still a way to fight this battle?

"I order that you must use the fearless spirit of the imperial air warriors to break away from the battle for the main fleet at any cost, and win more than 15 minutes. It is time for you to dedicate your life to His Majesty the Emperor and the Great Japanese Empire. The Emperor's Air Force Warriors, fight!" Colonel Kimura encouraged the morale of the pilots, but he couldn't hide the fact that the cruel order meant that none of the two fighter battalions that came out on alert would survive.

The change in the Japanese aircraft fleet immediately attracted the attention of the air commander of the carrier-based aircraft formation in the direction of Mokpo, "Report to Commander Tang, the little devils in the airspace of Mokpo are going to run away!" He immediately reported to Tang Yunfei.

Lieutenant Colonel Tang Yunfei, who was fighting hard, immediately relaxed his tense spirit. He knew very well that the large fleet of aviation reinforcements must have arrived, "Okay, our reinforcements have arrived, don't relax, bite the Japanese bomber fleet hard Fight hard, entangle them, and buy enough time for the reinforcement fleet to encircle and wipe out the Japanese mixed fleet!" This order was not only issued to the Mokpo airspace fleet, but also to the Incheon airspace fleet.

Commander Kimura, watching the independent division carrier-based aircraft pilot who seemed to be on a stimulant, biting his own bomber and beating fiercely, couldn't help feeling bitter in his mouth. He didn't dare to leave the bomber fleet and return, otherwise, he would not be killed by the independent division fighter pilot. Shooting down means being dealt with by military law. "Commander, Kimura reports that in the southwest direction of Mokpo, a reinforcement fleet of the Independent Division Aviation has been found. The number is more than [-], and they are rushing to the airspace of Mokpo!"

"I am commanding the mixed aircraft fleet to evacuate the battlefield, but because the bomber fleet is slow, the evacuation operation will not be smooth. I would like to ask your Excellency, Commander, to send fighter jets to support my formation's evacuation!"

Chief Kimura reported the situation to Commander Sato. At the same time, he asked for reinforcements. He knew very well that with the drag of the bomber fleet, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the independent division's reinforcement fleet. If there was no response, the fleet would be encircled. .

"Baga!" Major General Sato cursed angrily after receiving the report. Although he had a precise grasp of the time, he was still overtaken by the enemy's reinforcement fleet. Fortunately, no reinforcements from the Independent Division were found in the southwest airspace of Incheon Fleet, "Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Fighter Wings, immediately reinforce Mokpo, Fifth Fighter Wing, immediately eliminate your enemy, I will command the bomber fleet to return!"

Major General Sato had to reinforce the Kimura fleet and the Mokpo airspace, but more than one-third of his combat aircraft, if surrounded by the reinforcement fleet of the Independent Division, those bigwigs in the Army Aviation Department of the headquarters would not smash themselves into pieces ?

Le Yiqin commanded the second echelon reinforcement fighter group. More than [-] fighter jets were flying towards the Korean Peninsula at full speed. Liu Cuigang's voice came from the earphones, "Old man, the radar station reports that the mixed Japanese military fleet in the direction of Incheon is about to start." Returning, the fighter group in it is rushing to the Mokpo airspace, it seems that Sato is going to support the evacuation of the Mokpo Japanese fleet, our tactics should also be adjusted!"

Le Yiqin smiled, and said succinctly: "Understood!" "The first echelon fighter group that reinforces Incheon pay attention, change course, intercept and kill the Japanese fighter group in the airspace between Incheon and Mokpo!" He issued an order, and then, He happily hummed a little tune, his formation communicator was not turned off, and the pilots couldn't help laughing when they heard the commander's little tune that didn't make a tune.

The second echelon reinforcement aircraft fleet commanded by Le Yiqin is going to follow the Japanese aircraft fleet's back route. If necessary, they can even go deep into Kyushu Island, Japan, and clean up the airports of the little devils.

The Kimura mixed aircraft group in the direction of Mokpo, the two fighter brigades that went out on alert did not play much role, and even had no effect in ordering the independent division to reinforce the aircraft group, and stopped for a while. Dozens of Japanese fighter jets were instantly submerged in the torrent of fighter jets from the Independent Division, and then Kimura's mixed fleet was immediately encircled.

However, the three Japanese fighter jets flying to the Mokpo airspace at full speed were intercepted and killed by the reinforcement fleet of the Independent Division before they arrived at the Mokpo airspace. One side is unprepared and passive to fight, and the Japanese fighter group is also out of the trend of being suppressed and beaten.

However, Major General Sato, who led the bomber fleet and hurriedly returned from the direction of Incheon, was intercepted and killed by the second echelon reinforcement fleet commanded by Le Yiqin in the airspace at the center line of the Sea of ​​Japan. Suddenly, Major General Sato's face turned pale!
