Age of Rebirth

In the airspace near Incheon on the Korean Peninsula, Mokpo airspace, and the airspace between Incheon and Mokpo, the air battle was divided into three battlefields. The aircraft fleet was trapped in a tight siege, rushing from left to right, still unable to get rid of the interception and killing by fighter jets of the independent division. Following their own fighters and bombers, one after another, they were either blown into pieces in the air, or plunged into the sea , Mr. Kimura was desperate.

On the battlefield near Incheon, Tang Yunfei commanded the remaining [-] or so carrier-based fighter jets, mixed with a Japanese fighter jet wing, and mixed with a Japanese bomber wing, flying up and down, fighting happily.

The most intense was the air battle between Mokpo and Incheon. The three Japanese fighter wings were on their way to reinforce the direction of Mokpo, but they were intercepted and killed by four fighter regiments from the Air Force of the Independent Division. Hundreds of fighter jets from both sides began to fight each other. , because they were all fighter jets, the air combat was extremely intense.

And in the airspace of the Sea of ​​Japan, a strong versus weak interception is being staged. The second echelon reinforcement fleet of the Independent Division Air Force is all used by Le Yiqin to cut off the back route of the Japanese Korean Peninsula United Air Force. The old man Liu Cuigang said, "Since it is making dumplings, you might as well make the dumpling skin thicker!"

The dumpling skin is not only thick, but also super thick. More than 600 fighter jets formed a three-layer attack formation. Suddenly, Major General Sato, the commander of the Japanese Korean Peninsula United Air Force, commanded the three bomber wings that were evacuated. In front of a fighter wing.

Major General Sato's complexion suddenly turned pale, and the golden stars in front of his eyes were flying wildly. He was so shocked that he almost fainted. According to the information provided by various battlefields, there are more than 200 independent division fighters in the direction of Mokpo.In the airspace between Mokpo and Incheon, there are nearly 600 fighter jets from the independent division, and they are fighting hard against their three fighter wings. In front of them, there are more than [-] fighter jets from the independent division.

In total, not counting the independent division's carrier-based aircraft, there are more than [-] independent division fighter jets to deal with its own air force. The behemoth of the independent division's Northern Flying Group finally showed its sharp fangs.Thanks to Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Aviation Group of the Independent Division Air Force, he can appreciate it. Major General Sato doesn't know whether it is luck or sorrow, but he knows one thing very well, the Imperial Korean Peninsula United Air Force.All the fighters have no reason to survive today.

In the eyes of Major General Sato.There was a desperate look. "The air warriors of the empire, the enemy we are facing is unprecedentedly powerful. I order that, whether it is a fighter jet or a bomber, we must hold the idea of ​​jade. Fight to the death with these hateful Chinese pilots. The air warriors of the Empire of Japan, Don't be afraid of any enemy. Attack!" He gave the order hoarsely, and he didn't forget to encourage him.

After giving the order, Major General Sato took the lead, led his wingmen, and rushed to the fighter group commanded by Le Yiqin with a gesture of never returning. Behind them were more than 200 Japanese fighter jets and bombers.

Le Yiqin looked at the movements of the Japanese fighter jets, smiled contemptuously, and said two words "hunting!" It was neither a usual attack nor an attack with the most military terminology. He used "hunting" In two words, in his opinion, the Japanese fleet, most of which are bombers, is a group of prey waiting to be slaughtered.

"Attention formation, the battle will be over within 10 minutes!" Le Yiqin added. However, to his regret, it is obvious that there are more wolves and less flesh, and it is not up to him, the commander, to go into battle himself. , he could only be in the command position, watching the pilots eagerly, and rushed towards the mixed Japanese fleet.

The sky was immediately filled with ballistics drawn by machine gun bullets, and the sound of "da da da!" was heard everywhere. After 10 minutes, no Japanese combat aircraft could be seen in the airspace over the Sea of ​​Japan. There was a faint cloud of smoke, but everything was as usual on the sea. Hundreds of Japanese fighter jets and bombers were buried in the turbulent Sea of ​​Japan. In the short air course, there were not even Japanese pilots who parachuted.

Commander Sato's landline was smashed into numerous pieces by volleying. His plane bears an obvious commander's mark. Unfortunately, because of this mark, Major General Sato has become the focus of attention. There are four independent division's planes. The fighter jets formed a cross-fire force and fought around Major General Sato's plane. The flying machine gun bullets, like a few huge scissors, ruthlessly smashed Major General Sato and his plane.

It is said that after the air battle was over, the four pilots were in a dispute about who was the first to blow up the little devil's air commander plane, and the lawsuit finally went to Le Yiqin, and Le Yiqin said a few words , The dispute immediately extinguished, "Yo ho! They are all promising! Four fight one, how dare you fight for this honor? If you are singled out, one-on-one, I will give you credit!"

At the end of the 10-minute air battle, Le Yiqin issued an order: "The formation is in progress immediately. The first to fifth regiments will rush to the air battle between Mokpo and Incheon immediately. The little devil fighters of the three wings must be given to me. Bao Yuaner, the other regiments, follow me to support the carrier air force!"

At about nine o'clock in the morning, an unprecedented large-scale air battle ended, and the Japanese Korean Peninsula United Air Force was removed from the list. From the commander, Major General Sato, no one slipped through the net. The air lasted for more than five hours. For this victory, The fleet carrier-based aircraft force paid a huge price.

Tang Yunfei's fighter plane slid down lightly on the aircraft carrier's runway. He jumped off the fighter plane tiredly, and watched the carrier fighter jets land one after another on the deck, but he knew that there were 48 of them. I couldn’t come back either. Together with the brave pilots, their souls returned to the blue sky of the Korean Peninsula. Of the 48 carrier-based aircraft pilots, none of them survived parachuting. This shows the intensity and cruelty of the first stage of the air battle.

Tang Yunfei could call out the names of these 48 pilots. Touching the tears from the corners of his eyes, he said in a low voice: "Immediately report the results of the air battle and the casualties of my carrier-based aircraft unit to the Fleet Command!" After finishing speaking, he walked back to his cabin with heavy steps, and then closed the cabin door tightly. The few staff officers who followed behind looked at each other, but they all agreed tacitly and did not bother the commander.

The sky on the Korean Peninsula returned to calm. It seemed that the fierce battle of nearly [-] combat planes from both sides just now was like a dream. Le Yiqin ordered the two reinforcement fighter formations to return.

Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, Commander of the Independent Division Fleet, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, after receiving the telegram from the carrier-based aircraft headquarters, was silent for a while, and said to the chief of staff, Major General Xin Xiguo: "Xiguo, the loss of the carrier-based aircraft exceeded my expectations, but , This is not a bad thing, our pilots have to go through brutal battles to grow up, you pay attention, Qingdao Naval Aviation Academy, outstanding students who graduated in September, will immediately add carrier-based aircraft units!"

General Xin Xiguo wrote down the commander's instructions one by one, and after a pause, Tang Qiuquan seemed to inadvertently ask: "Lieutenant Colonel Tang Yunfei, the commander of the carrier-based aircraft, have you submitted any combat reports on the experience and lessons learned in this air battle?"

Xin Xiguo shook his head and said: "Commander, the air battle has just ended, and the troops have suffered such a large loss. I think Yunfei must still be in pain. Anyway, there is no hurry. It is not too late to ask him to submit it tomorrow! I Get involved in this matter yourself!"

Tang Qiuquan's face immediately turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "This is not a reason. A commander, after the battle, did not sum up his combat experience in time, but hid aside, crying sadly. In the name of the command, order the carrier-based aircraft command to submit the summary report of the air battle between Mokpo and Incheon to the fleet command before five o'clock this afternoon!"

Xin Xiguo opened his mouth, obviously dissatisfied with the commander's inhumanity, but seeing Tang Qiuquan's cold face, he swallowed the words that came to his lips, sighed secretly, and left the tent.

As soon as Xin Xiguo left, Ma Chaoyang came in and said happily: "Commander, this air battle was extremely exciting! Even our ground troops beat down seven or eight fighter jets from the little devil, and the Incheon Airport also called According to the report, the loss of the airport is not large, and it can be put into use as expected. Liu Cuigang's air defense brigade is really a tough hand, and it didn't let hundreds of little devil planes take advantage of it!"

"There is a big victory in the sky, let's not be idle on the ground, I suggest that the troops launch an attack immediately!" Ma Chaoyang said eagerly, obviously stimulated by the great victory in the air battle.

Tang Qiuquan smiled slightly and said: "Simmer slowly, who cares about the heat, you have to give Tanaka time to increase troops to the Mokpo battlefield. The Japanese army's hope of regaining air supremacy is completely shattered. There is no hope in the air. Tanaka will definitely go to the Mokpo battlefield again." To increase troops in the direction of Mokpo, without commanding the air, in broad daylight, the Japanese army would not dare to increase troops to Mokpo with great fanfare, I think, let’s take a day off today and launch an attack at dawn tomorrow! Chaoyang, what’s your opinion?”

Ma Chaoyang smiled innocently, and replied: "You are the commander of the theater, so you can decide. I don't have any opinions, that's right. Giving the little devils a chance to increase troops on the Mokpo battlefield is in line with our purpose of fighting a war of attrition, otherwise , just opposite the two little devil divisions who were beaten to the point of death, they are obviously not fat enough! There are so many wolves and little meat, it is not worth our ten brigades to take a bite together!"

Tang Qiuquan laughed, and was overjoyed by Ma Chaoyang's very vivid metaphor. Just in time, Xin Xiguo came back and said to him: "Xiguo, I will tell you about the situation of today's air battle and the attack on the Japanese Mokpo defense line at dawn today. Report to the teacher, the war situation on the Korean peninsula is under control!"
