Age of Rebirth

Since the Japanese combat aircraft of an aviation team were put into the Northeast battlefield, the information intercepted by the ground radar station and the air situation discovered every day can be described as massive. The establishment of the Japanese Army Air Force, an aviation team, has two to three jurisdictions. The United Air Force, each United Air Force, has five to six fighter wings or bomber wings under its jurisdiction. Calculated in this way, an aviation team of the Japanese Army Air Force has at least more than a thousand combat aircraft of various types .

And these Japanese combat aircraft, within two days, arrived at various field airfields in the Northeast from the Japanese mainland, and concentrated in the Liaoxi Corridor, Ximan area, and various field airfields around Fengtian. Most of them were formed by hundreds of fighter jets. The large aircraft group took off frequently, and aggressively put on a posture of looking for the main decisive battle of the independent division's aviation force.

Therefore, in the past two days, the air force has deployed hundreds of fixed or mobile ground radar stations in the Korean Peninsula, Shandong Peninsula, Bohai Bay, and the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula. All-weather and uninterrupted surveillance was carried out on the field airports of the Japanese army, and thousands of pieces of intelligence were reported to the Joint Air Command Staff Headquarters every day.

All these intelligences were collected to the Joint Air Command Staff Headquarters, and then professional intelligence analysts sorted them out one by one in order to find out the rules and scope of activities of the Japanese aircraft fleet and formulate corresponding tactics. Finally, after the intelligence was sorted out, the The two chiefs of staff, He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan, reported to Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, mainly for Liu Cuigang.Le Yiqin didn't have such a lot of patience, and took the trouble to read through the files that were several feet high.

Now, in the airspace of Liaodong Peninsula.The Air Force of the Independent Division adopted the method of avoiding war, and the newly formed Kwantung Army's First Aviation Team, although it repeatedly dispatched a large fleet of aircraft to provoke, did not dare to go too deep into the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Pingjin area of ​​​​Bohai Bay to attack from Japan. These fighter wings that were transferred had never fought against the aviation of the independent division.But the Japanese pilots all know that Pingjin and even the Shandong Peninsula area is the old nest of the Northern Aviation Group of the Independent Division.

That commander Liu Cuigang.Not to mention a character who is not easy to mess with, having killed several United Air Forces of the Empire, not to mention the strength of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division.Not necessarily worse than the First Air Force of the Kwantung Army.Therefore, the commander of the Japanese air formation has a measure of not going deep into the combat radius of the opponent's fighter jets. Of course, the best air combat battlefield is in the airspace in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula, and the take-off radius of one's own combat aircraft is small.

Incheon Airport.The Joint Air Force of the Independent Division Air Force, in a large office.On the table was a thick stack of file bags. Le Yiqin looked at the things that He Zhijun had just sent over, and said with a sigh: "Cui Gang, tell me, what is this little devil's plane doing all day? Doesn't move at all?" Just dispatched hundreds of fighter jets, but didn’t dare to get too involved, just wandering around Fengtian!”

"I see, these new little devil pilots only have a little guts. The rookies who have never seen blood are relying on their spirit. If you are not going to be a big one, thinking about a war Get rid of this Kwantung Army's First Aviation Squadron, and I'll take the price fighter regiment to fight, and I won't beat the shit out of the little devil!"

Le Yiqin muttered, that is to say, in front of Liu Cuigang, he spoke freely. Liu Cuigang smiled, buried his head in carefully reading the pieces of information, and said without raising his head: "Look at the division commander's deployment. The battle will soon start in full swing. The addition of the Kwantung Army's No. [-] Aviation Squadron is not good for us to control the air superiority in the Northeast. We don't have much time to fight piecemeal. When we first started the battle, we showed the enemy weak. So, Yiqin, don’t you understand?”

Le Yiqin curled her lips, "Okay, don't lose the text with me... Huh? In the middle of the night, what are you kidding around? Eight transport planes took off from Harbin and landed at Fengtian Japanese Army Field Airport. , didn’t return!” He was surprised suddenly and said with a piece of information.

"Oh!" Liu Cuigang raised his head, reached out to receive the information, and read it carefully. There was a thoughtful look in his eyes. This information was indeed a bit weird. At the airport, there were no combat planes operating, but eight transport planes from the Japanese army flew in from the direction of Harbin, which seemed weird?

Although he was puzzled, Liu Cuigang had no way of knowing the real purpose of these eight Japanese transport planes flying from Harbin to Fengtian at night, so he said: "According to the report on the battle situation of the division commander's staff office, during the day today, on the line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan, the Japanese army The attack has been completely frustrated, but there is no sign of retreating. I judge that there may be a big battle tomorrow, and the ground and the air will not stop!"

Le Yiqin laughed loudly, "I love to hear that, but I'm afraid that these new kiddos won't show up. I said Cuigang, you have given away all your wealth, North China, Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula The fighter jets at the airports in and around Incheon are all on standby at any time, good guy, there are nearly 800 fighter jets, enough for a kid to drink a pot!"

Liu Cuigang smiled and said: "Concentrating superior forces and fighting a battle of annihilation is the principle of combat that the division commander has always advocated. If you want to accomplish your best in one battle, how can you do it if you don't have an superior force? I will take care of things on the ground. In the sky, it will be a battle." Old man, your world is over!"

Le Yiqin made a gesture, "Don't be afraid of too much, we have a big enough appetite, come and eat as much as you want, it's not enough to eat less!"

Night shrouded the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula. From Zhuanghe to the Bayuquan blockade line, the daytime war has completely dissipated. The four brigades of the Marine Corps of the Independent Division and the three brigades of the No.20 Ninth Corps are seriously ending today. However, the Japanese army retreating across the board was also very quiet and did not launch an attack at night. According to the division commander's order, the independent division troops did not take the initiative to attack.

Gathered the third army of the Japanese army, a division and two detachments of the Kwantung Army, seven field brigades of the independent division, and nearly 30 people on both sides of the battlefield. The sound, the sound of insects.

However, the Japanese field airports in the surrounding areas of Fengtian were a different scene. Dozens of trucks distributed the No. 200 gas bombs on eight transport planes to various field airports. Then, the Japanese ground crew followed the orders from above. , Installed gas bombs on more than [-] bombers. Not only the busy Japanese ground crew did not know what was installed overnight, but even the Japanese bomber pilots did not know what kind of bombs were installed on their planes?

Lieutenant General Asada, the commander of the Kwantung Army's First Aviation Team, sat on the control tower of the largest field airport in Fengtian Nanguan. Looking at the brightly lit and busy airport, he was very excited. He was the third person to know that there were more than [-] bombers Come on, what kind of powerful thing is installed!

Like all the senior generals of the Japanese army, Lieutenant General Asada has no burden on the use of mass-destructive gas bombs on the battlefield. As long as the imperial army of the Imperial Japanese Army achieves continuous victories, this is enough. As for the means, it is nothing more than To achieve the goal, war is to defeat the enemy by various means!

Constant calls and telegrams were sent to Lieutenant General Ma Tian, ​​who were reporting the progress of the installation of special bombs at various field airports. At around 200 o'clock in the morning, the last telegram came, announcing that more than [-] bombers had been installed. Special bombs.

Lieutenant General Ma Tian breathed a sigh of relief, came to the office, and had to make a confidential phone call, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I am Ma Tian, ​​and the five bombers of 230 have all been replaced with the No. [-] special warfare bomb. , to bomb the independent division's blocking positions and deep areas, do you have any orders?"

General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army who drove out all the staff and stayed alone in the office, received a call from Lieutenant General Asada, his eyes flashed coldly, and he said, "Asada-kun, we will fight at dawn today. It is very important, it involves the life and death of the 10,000+ imperial soldiers of the Third Army and the Kwantung Army, and the actions of Mr. Matian's aviation team are the most critical link, which determines the success or failure of this attack. Mr. Matian, your deployment is strict enough ?"

Lieutenant General Ma Tian said confidently: "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, all the more than 980 fighter jets of the First Aviation Squadron have all taken off and formed a deep escort on the line from the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula to the south of Lushunkou. The three bomber wings that carry out the bombing mission , all pilots have received orders, even if their own plane is shot down, they must crash in the scheduled bombing area!"

I don't know why, General Umezu Yoshijiro suddenly felt nervous. He heard Lieutenant General Asada's extremely confident tone. The large-scale bombing of No. [-] gas bomb at dawn is too critical. It is related to whether the ground troops can break through independence today. The division's blocking line, the first aviation team is all dispatched, and it is also the last card in his hand. If he fails, he has no idea what to do next!

This all-or-nothing approach made General Meijin very uncomfortable, so he reminded: "Mr. Asada, the Northern Flying Group of the Air Force of the Independent Division is the biggest obstacle to this bombing operation. Its strength should not be underestimated. Regarding this, I hope Asada Be prepared, and don’t underestimate the enemy, after all, our pilots were all at home before, and have no experience in overseas combat or large-scale air battles, this is their weakness!”

Hearing General Meijin's words, Lieutenant General Asada on the other end of the phone couldn't help frowning, feeling dissatisfied and feeling slighted, but he didn't show it, "Please rest assured, Commander-in-Chief, the Imperial Air Warrior is His Majesty the Emperor. , The spirit of sacrifice for the Great Japanese Empire, and strict training can make up for this shortcoming!" He said in a calm tone, and then, without waiting for General Meizu to say anything, he hung up the phone.
