Age of Rebirth

Thousands of merchant ships, no port or wharf, no matter how they dock, it will never work. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army, let’s fly on board. The commander of the escort fleet, Major General Heimiya, is full of anger when he thinks of this. Liaodong Bay It's Longtan and Tiger's Cave. If you delay for a minute, it will be more dangerous. It will take a few days for 1 million soldiers to board the ship at the dock, not to mention half a month if there is no dock?

Thinking of the delay of more than half a month on the coast of Liaodong Bay under the situation where the independent division, navy and air force are all around, Major General Heimiya felt the cold wind on his spine, and the escort fleet and troop carrier formation sailed past the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula with fear. Fortunately, apart from the continuous harassment of the independent division aviation and a small group of fighter jets, no trace of the independent division fleet was found.

Seeing that it will be close to the coastline along the Liaoxi Corridor in about half a day, Major General Heimiya sent a very unkind telegram to Lieutenant General Kashiishiro, the supreme commander of the Kwantung Army in Liaoxi: "Commander Kashii, I It is Rear Admiral Heimiya, the commander of the Imperial Navy Escort Fleet, and now, our fleet and troop carrier fleet are about to arrive at the destination specified by the headquarters, but the Kwantung Army troops have not seized any port!"

"Where are the thousands of merchant ships and the warships of the escort fleet docked, and how will they receive the soldiers of the Kwantung Army to board the ships? The waters of Liaodong Bay are already the hinterland of the Independent Division. You are clear about the situation. Now, I ask you to, It is necessary to determine one or several boarding locations on the western coastline of Liaodong Bay within five hours, and set up the most basic boarding facilities, otherwise, I will order the fleet to return on the grounds that it is too dangerous to accept the mission !"

This is an order, but also an ultimatum. Under normal circumstances, a rear admiral, who is still a little-known little man, is facing the dignified lieutenant general of the imperial army.The commander of the Kwantung Army, who holds military power, is so bossy and tough, Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro has long been furious.But the situation is different now, because they need the navy, and what’s more, they didn’t do well enough, so they failed to win a port.

Therefore, Lieutenant General Kashiishiro gave Rear Admiral Heimiya a call back, thinking that it was quite polite and low-key, "Commander Heimiya Order of Merit, all calls are complete. I will order the troops to escort the fleet according to Commander Heimiya's request. And before the arrival of the troopship formation, complete all the preparations for the troops to board the ship. Here, on behalf of the more than [-] imperial soldiers of the Liaoxi Kwantung Army, I am extremely grateful to General Ping Gong, who went deep into the tiger's den and traveled thousands of miles to respond and rescue! "

After watching Lieutenant General Kashiishirou's call back, Major General Heimiya felt a little more comfortable, feeling a little proud.How about being a lieutenant general in the army, why not humble yourself in front of a rear admiral himself, this kind of complacency even somewhat dilutes the fear in his heart.

Of course, I can't just wait for the Kwantung Army's wretches.He gave orders to the commanders of the fleet and troop carrier formation that all merchant ships should use traffic boats, transport boats, and lifeboats to speed up the boarding speed of Kwantung Army soldiers.If the docking location is suitable, all ships should be as close to the beach as possible, in the hinterland of the Independent Division, but there is no chance of stability!

Fortunately, there are many gentle beaches along the coastline along the West Liao Corridor. It is not difficult to find a few beaches that are suitable for merchant ships to berth. Although merchant ships of several thousand tons cannot get too close, soldiers can still climb up by wading. On the ship, Commander Kashii gave an order, and the soldiers of the Kwantung Army in the encirclement began to work together. In several places, they began to assume temporary trestles. Perhaps it was hopeful to break through and inspired by the chance of survival. The soldiers of the Kwantung Army broke out with unprecedented labor efficiency. .

It is very rare that the independent division troops outside the encirclement may be tired, and surprisingly did not launch an attack. Taking advantage of the rare opportunity to catch their breath, all the soldiers of the Kwantung Army are working crazily. Almost all available materials are in the encirclement. Lieutenant General Kashii Shiro inspected a temporary trestle and saw that the trestle stretched all the way to the sea. The hope in his heart was getting bigger and bigger!

In the end, 1 boarding locations were determined, in order to get more than [-] Kwantung Army soldiers onto the ship as quickly as possible. From the heart, Commander Xiangshii is the [-] He didn't want to stay for a minute, and then, he sent another telegram to Major General Heimiya to inform him that the boarding location had been confirmed, and the words were extremely polite and respectful, similar to a subordinate reporting to his superior.

"It's hard to ask for a man, it's hard to find a man!" Lieutenant General Kashii Shirou has a deep understanding of the Chinese saying. Now, he has to ask for the navy, and he has to bow his head under the eaves. For the fate of more than [-] Kwantung Army soldiers, it doesn't matter if you bow your head. Amidst the indignant discussions among the staff officers, he comforted his wounded heart like this!

In the distance, on the edge of the blue ocean, a coastline meanders and appears in Major General Heimiya's telescopic lens. He has not heard the earth-shattering gunshots, and he has not seen the battlefield filled with gunpowder smoke. Not on a dangerous mission, Major General Heimiya even thought that he was cruising in a certain sea area in the mainland, but in his heart, there was strong anxiety and fear, it was too quiet!

It's not at all like the battlefield where more than a million troops from both sides are fighting. It's so quiet that it makes people panic. Even the small-scale aviation fleet of the Independent Division, which is like tarsus maggots, has disappeared at this moment, suppressing the heart. Out of fear, the Heimiya Marching Army issued an order, "The formation of troop carriers is divided into fifteen groups, and they are respectively docked at the predetermined coastal locations, and the escort fleet is scattered around the surrounding area for vigilance.

The range of the alert was about ten kilometers. At the same time, Major General Heimiya ordered the escort fighter group to conduct all-round alert in the airspace around the troop carrier within a radius of [-] kilometers. Naturally, this order was met by the escort aircraft group formation. Commander Major General Nakatani objected.

Major General Nakatani’s reason is that for a high-speed fighter jet, the distance of more than 150 kilometers can be reached in the blink of an eye. Major General Heimiya does not understand the basic common sense of air combat, and the air security range should be expanded to at least [-] to [-] kilometers of airspace , and, it is best to go deep into the hinterland of the Liaoxi Corridor.

Major General Nakatani spoke plausibly, and Major General Heimiya could not resist this arrogant land-based air force who had never seen the world, so he had to agree to Major General Nakatani's request, and the two fighter wings swaggered towards Jinzhou in the Liaoxi Corridor and Huludao. direction to fly.

The Incheon Air Force Base on the Korean Peninsula, the location of the joint sea and air command, the chief of staff of the fleet, Major General Xin Xiguo, hurried in with a telegram, "Reporting to the commander, Commander Liu, after receiving the report from the submarine force, the Japanese escort fleet and The troop carrier formation is already approaching the west coast of Liaodong Bay, and after receiving a report from the Liaoxi ground radar station of the Air Force, the escorting Japanese land-based air force two wings are flying to Huludao and Jinzhou respectively!"

Liu Cuigang was overjoyed and said something, "That's looking for death. The main force of Le Yiqin's fighter jets are all concentrated in several airports in the Liaoxi Corridor. Commander Tang, there is no problem with the aviation!"

"Okay! Everything is ready!" Tang Qiuquan shouted, "Order, each echelon of the aviation force, according to the predetermined combat plan, intercept and kill the Japanese escort fleet respectively, and the naval fleet immediately attacks to annihilate the Japanese escort fleet. The aircraft unit is responsible for destroying the boarding facilities of the Kwantung Army on the beach, and must not let a Kwantung Army soldier board the troop carrier and attack the Japanese warship, let's start!"

With an order from the Joint Air and Sea Command, from Incheon on the Korean Peninsula to the Pingjin area around the Bohai Sea, and then to the Liaoxi Corridor, dozens of field airfields for the aviation force began to boil, and countless fighter jets slid onto the runway roaring. to the blue sky.

On the surface of the Bohai Sea, a large fleet sailed out from the Lushun military port. Four of the aircraft carriers, with their hilly bodies, were daunting. After the fleet sailed out of the military port, they headed towards the west coast of Liaodong Bay.

The battle took the lead in the airspace of the West Liaoning Corridor. Major General Nakatani, the commander of the escort fleet of the Japanese Army Aviation Corps, did have his own plans. He was going to take the opportunity of the escort to go deep into the hinterland of the West Liaoning Corridor, destroy several field airports of the Air Force of the Independent Division, and fight A beautiful battle, let the Navy guys see it!

Rear Admiral Nakatani was suffocating. If it wasn't for that guy from the Navy, Heimiya, who bound his hands and feet so that the escort fleet would stay close to the troop carrier and the escort fleet. The Navy and Air Force Base of the Independent Division was smashed to pieces. Major General Nakatani always believed that the best way to escort is to destroy it on the ground before the enemy reacts.

This Major General Nakatani, who came from a famous family, has been performing air defense missions in the mainland. That is to say, he has never stepped out of the Japanese mainland, has not been taught by the aviation of the independent division, and has not participated in any cruel air battles. Arrogance and self-confidence are built on the basis of blind ignorance, without thinking about it, a fleet of more than 100 warships, thousands of merchant ships, and more than [-] fighter jets of the Celestial Master have sailed for more than a thousand kilometers. Was it concerned by the independent division, navy and air force?

Major General Zhonggu also wanted to catch the air force of the Independent Division by surprise, which is a ridiculous idea. Therefore, his method of air raids on Huludao and Jinzhou respectively is a ridiculous tragedy.

Le Yiqin commanded six fighter regiments, an air formation composed of nearly 60 fighters, rushed forward, and without much effort, took a fighter wing commanded by Major General Zhonggu, more than [-] Japanese fighters, to the south of Jinzhou. The airspace is surrounded.

In the first round of the fight, Major General Zhonggu's plane was surrounded by fighter jets from five independent divisions. After a burst of fire, Major General Zhonggu, together with his plane, became a beautiful firework blooming in the sky!
