Age of Rebirth

"What? The Japanese army used bombers and used gas bombs on a large scale!" Hearing the chief of staff Zhao Yuhe, after reading the emergency telegram sent by Liu Cuigang, the Incheon United Air Command of the Air Force, he sat under a towering pine tree, leisurely looking at the Tang Qiuli, who was in this ancient book, suddenly got up and asked angrily.

Zhao Yuhe replied: "Yes, Commander. Commander Liu made it very clear in the telegram that our fighter group is now fighting fiercely with the Japanese escort fighter group, and the speed of the Japanese mixed aircraft group is greatly restricted. Before we reach the airspace from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan, all the troops on the blocking line should prepare for the anti-gas bombs, and there is no time in time, and I have issued an order in the name of the theater command!"

Angry flames danced in Tang Qiuli's eyes, "Yuhe, you've done a good job, but have you ever thought about it? It's not a big deal to wipe out the Kwantung Army's First Aviation Team with the number of fighter jets commanded by Le Yiqin." The problem, however, once the Japanese bomber loaded with gas bombs is shot down at the current location, how many casualties will be caused to ordinary people in the northern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, after all, they do not have gas masks and basic common sense!"

Zhao Yuhe was taken aback. He really hadn't thought about this problem. After receiving the order, the troops with only one gas mask basically lost their effect on the Japanese gas bombs, but what about the ordinary people in the Liaodong Peninsula?

The Japanese army had three bomber wings and more than [-] bombers. How many gas bombs would that be, I'm afraid. . . . . .Zhao Yuhe didn't dare to think about it, "Master, what measures should we take to prevent this tragedy from happening?" He asked hastily.

Tang Qiuli gritted his teeth.Said: "Order the aviation fighter group to let the Japanese bomber group equipped with poison gas bombs let go of our blocking line. Then shoot down, tell Le Yiqin, no matter what the cost, the Japanese bomber group must be shot down in the area from Chengzitan to Jiuzhai Airspace, concentrated shooting down, the smaller the range, the better!"

"Order all the troops on the blocking line, and each brigade will send two engineering battalions. The field hospitals of each brigade will send medical teams, carrying gas masks, corresponding equipment, and medicines, to the above-mentioned area immediately. Dispose of the gas bombs after they land , the principle is, never spread!"

"Order the local governments in the area between Zhuanghe, Bayuquan, Chengzitan, and Jiuzhai to immediately organize the evacuation of local residents. The government must tell the residents. Take all local methods to prevent the virus and minimize losses!"

Tang Qiuli gritted his teeth and issued a series of orders, all of which were emergency measures. It is a pity that the army does not have a professional chemical defense force, otherwise, it would be easier to deal with it.It is also safer, and the engineering troops can only be used.

Zhao Yuhe left in a hurry.Tang Qiuli asked the staff to call Chen Feng, the director of the communications department, and said: "Director Chen, order Liu Cuigang to dispatch all bombers to bomb the Japanese troops on the line from Bayuquan to Zhuanghe around the clock. The bombing intensity must be maximized. , ordered Han Tie to immediately cross the border between China and North Korea, occupy the line from Gaizhou to Andong, and block the retreat of the Japanese Third Army and the Kwantung Army's first and second detachments!"

After Chen Feng went out, Tang Qiuli's eyes were full of murderous intent, "Japanese! Japanese who are insane! Everything should be over!"

The situation of the air battle suddenly changed subtly. The fighter jets of the independent division no longer attacked the Japanese bomber fleet fiercely, but found the Japanese fighter jets escorting them. Taking this opportunity, the three Japanese bomber wing Under the escort of fighter jets, they flew at full speed to the direction of the independent division's blockade line in the middle of the Liaodong Peninsula.

There was a sneer on the corner of Le Yiqin's mouth, with murderous intent in his heart, "Order, each fighter formation, send three fighter regiments to follow the Japanese bomber fleet, and make sure to shoot down the Japanese bombers in the area between Zhuanghe, Bayuquan, Chengzitan and Jiuzhaigou. Airspace, this is the death order from the division commander, and the rest of the fighter regiments, quickly encircle and annihilate the Japanese fighter jets!" He quickly issued an order.

The fighter group of the independent division immediately separated some fighters and chased after the Japanese bomber group. The remaining fighters surrounded the inferior Japanese fighters and beat them hard. Then, dragging the long thick smoke, it hit the ground and exploded into a ball of fire.

Incheon, the Air Force united with the Air Force Commander. Liu Cuigang read the division command's order, gritted his teeth, and said to He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan: "You two, immediately issue an order to all the bomber units, and immediately execute the order to bomb the Japanese army. With special emphasis, All crews should use more napalm bombs and carry more powerful aerial bombs!"

After He Zhijun saluted Dong Ningxuan, he hurried out. Then, Liu Cuigang turned on the ground-air communication radio and called: "Yiqin, I am Liu Cuigang. I just received the order from the division commander to immediately bomb the Japanese army around the clock. , is about to take off, think about the issue of escort!"

Le Yiqin, who was flying a fighter plane and had just shot down a Japanese fighter jet and was still climbing rapidly, said after hearing Liu Cuigang's call, "That's right, what should have been done a long time ago! Don't worry, in our bomber fleet Before reaching the bombing area, there are only a few fighter jets left for the little devil, and I want to clean up the battlefield in advance!"

Liu Cuigang put down the communicator, sat on the chair, and frowned. A long-planned air battle had changed because of the Japanese gas bombs. What he was worried about was that the ground troops would not have time to prepare for the emergency, and there would be huge losses. , the three brigades of the Marine Corps, the casualties caused by the Japanese gas bombs are still vivid!

"Reporting to the commander, my bomber fleet stubbornly broke through the interception of the independent division's fighter jets and is approaching the bombing airspace. However, our escort fighter jets have suffered heavy losses. At present, less than half of the fighter jets left are being attacked. The fierce attack of the fighter planes of the independent division! The air battle is very bad for us!"

In the loudspeaker, the report of the air commander of the mixed fleet came. Lieutenant General Asada's mouth twitched for a while, and complicated colors flashed in his eyes. He couldn't tell what it was like. The goal is about to be achieved, and the main task is considered completed, which is a good thing.

But I dispatched more than 980 fighter jets, and within an hour of the air battle, I lost most of them. I am afraid that after this air battle is over, the Kwantung Army's No. [-] Air Force Squadron may have to revoke its designation. I don't know, those who fought desperately Imperial air warriors, how many people can fly back?

"Perform the bombing mission unswervingly, and you must complete the important mission entrusted to you by the empire. Protecting the bomber is your only duty!" Lieutenant Ma Tian bet all his fighter jets, and the only way to complete the bombing mission is to complete the bombing mission. Only in this way can the other side have a plausible explanation. For this reason, Lieutenant General Ma Tian will not hesitate to lose all the fighters, otherwise, what awaits him is serious and terrible consequences!

Lieutenant General Ma Tian staggered into the office, picked up the confidential phone, and said in a bitter tone: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I am Ma Tian, ​​and I have good news for you. The bomber fleet is approaching the bombing area. However, my The escort fighter unit has suffered serious losses, so far, more than [-] fighters have been lost!"

General Umezu Yoshijiro, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army in Liaoyang, is concerned about the words in front of Lieutenant General Asada. As long as the gas bombs are exploded on the positions of the independent division troops, the situation in the Liaodong Peninsula will be decided in one fell swoop. Think about it Soldiers of the Independent Division with corpses strewn across the field felt a violent pleasure in his heart.

However, General Meijin could hear the pain in Lieutenant General Asada's tone, and said: "Matian-kun, I know the contribution your aviation team has made to the empire, and Asada-kun doesn't have to blame himself too much, order the aviation team to fight Yes, it’s me, Meizu, you’re just executing orders. In addition, at the headquarters and the Army Aviation Department, I will handle it properly. With the industrial manufacturing capabilities of the empire, it won’t take long for a new Kwantung Army aviation The team will be formed!"

Putting down the phone, Lieutenant General Asada was stunned, "Am I blaming myself? It's not that I made a mistake in command, but that the opponent I faced was too strong!" However, General Meijin's words still gave him great comfort. The heavy loss of the first air team requires Meijin to take the main responsibility, so he is not on the cusp of the crisis!

And General Umezu Yoshijiro, after putting down the phone, his eyes were fierce, and he asked the guards to call Lieutenant General Matsuda Kenjiro, the chief of staff, and ordered: "Matsuda-kun, Asada-kun's air force is about to achieve its goal, order all the front-line troops to do their best!" Prepare for the attack, and launch a full-scale attack in two hours! Remind the commanders of the troops and order the soldiers to wear gas masks!"

Chief of Staff Matsuda didn't know the details of the bombing mission carried out by Asada's air force, but when he heard that the Imperial Army soldiers were ordered to wear gas masks, he suddenly realized that poison gas bombs must have been used, which was a weapon for the Imperial Army to win. He has no objection to the use of gas bombs, but, as the chief of staff of the Kwantung Army, he doesn't know about such a big matter, so he feels a little resentful in his heart.

Moreover, the effect of the gas bomb can't be lifted within two hours. Isn't General Meijin's approach a joke about the lives of the soldiers of the empire?Lieutenant General Matsuda thought for a while, and said: "Yes, Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, I will immediately convey your order to the entire army. However, in just two hours, the safety of our soldiers seems to be unable to be completely guaranteed! Whether, We postpone the attack, it is safer!"

General Meijin glanced at him in surprise, quite surprised, "Matsuda's brain is not slow to react, he immediately thought of gas bombs!" However, General Meijin did not want to explain, "Matsuda-san, time is short, we must Seize the opportunity and execute the order!" His tone was unquestionable.
