Age of Rebirth

The sun is shining brightly, and the water and sky in the East Indian Ocean are the same color. However, under the beautiful scenery, Captain Kubota was shocked to find that at the end of his line of sight, on the vast sea of ​​East India, there was an innumerable fleet that made his eyes dizzy. , is sailing towards Australia with the wind and waves!

Captain Kubota was stunned for a moment, and it took him a full minute to wake up. In the East Indian Ocean, he found a huge fleet of ships sailing in the direction of Australia. There is no doubt that it must be the fleet of the Chinese army. The purpose is obvious. It's headed for imperial Australia!

"Kitamura-kun, have you seen a huge fleet?" Captain Kubota seemed to suspect that he was hallucinating, and asked his subordinates for confirmation.

The target is too obvious, Second Lieutenant Kitamura is not blind, how can he not see it, "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, report to the base immediately!" He yelled to remind his officer.

"Oh, that's right!" Captain Kubota remembered his duties, retracted his twisted neck, opened the communication channel, and called: "Base! Base! I'm Captain Kubota of the Reconnaissance Aircraft Squadron... .”

At this moment, "Da da da!" Several strings of flames licked Captain Kubota's reconnaissance plane fiercely from different directions, "Boom!" With a loud noise, the reconnaissance plane and Captain Kubota exploded into the air Bright fireworks, the fireworks have not yet cleared, three fighter jets of the independent division appeared in the sky!

Second Lieutenant Kitamura saw his officer with his own eyes, and it was shattered into pieces in an instant. However, he had no time to be horrified, and the landline suffered the same fate.A black puff of smoke exploded in the air, and three fighter jets from the Independent Division flew over the puff of smoke at high speed.

"Call the base! Liu Changzhi, the commander of the First Squadron of the Third Battalion of the Fifth Fighter Regiment, reports!" A young fighter pilot said.Glancing at the puff of smoke that hadn't dissipated in the sky, he reported: "Two Japanese reconnaissance planes have been shot down by our squadron!"

Wu Zhenjiang breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered: "Your squadron continues to perform patrol missions. If you find any Japanese reconnaissance planes and fighter jets, you don't need to ask the ground for instructions. They must be shot down!"

Putting down the communicator, a trace of worry suddenly flashed in Wu Zhenjiang's mind. "Did the two little devil's reconnaissance planes send back the information about the fleet to the Japanese base before they were shot down?"

but.It has been impossible to verify.Wu Zhenjiang could only choose to trust his own pilots. He thought for a while, and said to the combat staff: "Immediately send a telegram to Commander Tang of the Fleet. Our East Indian Ocean Patrol Squadron shot down two planes at 23:[-] this morning. Japanese reconnaissance plane, according to the report from the ground radar station, the Japanese reconnaissance plane did not approach the sea area where our troop carrier formation and escort fleet are located!"

Wu Zhenjiang's telegram.When he arrived at the frigate headquarters, he was in front of Tang Qiuquan.There were several telegrams with similar content, all of which reported the shooting down of Japanese reconnaissance planes. Except for the one shot down by the patrol plane of the Naval and Air Force Base in the Chagos Islands, the others were all shot down by the carrier-based aircraft of the escort fleet. The scope of the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft is far outside the airspace where the troop carrier formation and escort fleet are located!

Judging from various signs, the reconnaissance plane sent by the No.15 Air Force of the Japanese Army on Sumatra Island did not find a huge fleet of ships. However, Tang Qiuquan was also faintly worried. He asked the combat staff to check immediately whether this The daily reconnaissance operations of the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft, not against the ship formation.

A few minutes later, the combat staff reported: "Reporting to the commander, I have verified the previous information recording the range and regularity of activities of the Japanese reconnaissance planes, and concluded that the No.15 Japanese Air Force in the direction of Sumatra Island has not sent any special additions. reconnaissance aircraft!"

Suspicions in this regard have been ruled out, but Tang Qiuquan feels that just over ten minutes ago, a total of six waves of Japanese reconnaissance planes were shot down, and it is impossible not to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese commander. Is it abnormal that there are no air battles at other times?

Remedy must be carried out, and a series of air battles must be covered up with one action, "Send a telegram to Wu Zhenjiang, ordering the East Indian Ocean cruising area to dispatch fighter jets in units of brigades. Flight to Sumatra!" Tang Qiuquan ordered.

Sumatra Island, the base of the No.15 Air Force of the Japanese Army. Major Kuraki, the No.15 Air Force of the Japanese Army on duty, received a call from Captain Kubota before he died. Unfortunately, he lost contact just after speaking halfway. Officer, wake up immediately.

The two reconnaissance planes lost contact, which is very abnormal. Coincidentally, Captain Kubota and Major Cangmu are still acquaintances. However, which kind of relationship is very bad? Major Cangmu picked up the phone and asked: " Is it the ground radar station, I am the combat duty room of the air force base, Captain Kubota's reconnaissance crew, where is the last location?"

"Appearing in the airspace near the Chagos Islands, the flight range of the reconnaissance crew has exceeded the specified distance. According to our judgment, it is very likely that it encountered a fighter jet from China!" The Japanese ground radar station explained.

"Kubota, you bastard! You're just out of your mind. I don't know that the airspace near the Chagos Islands is the place where the China Air Force has a lot of troops!" Major Kuraki put down the phone. He was basically sure that this guy Kubota died for the empire. On the duty record, the basic situation is written, which means that he has completed his duties.

This matter was quickly forgotten by Major Cang Mu, but the report that followed immediately made him extremely nervous. This morning, within a similar period of time, all six reconnaissance teams lost contact with the base. , very abnormal!

Major Cang Mu immediately reported this abnormal situation to Major General Oshima, commander of the air force.

Ten minutes later, the No.15 Air Force of the Japanese Army on Sumatra Island dispatched six fighter squadrons to search the airspace where the previous six reconnaissance crews lost contact. Major General Oshima was very alert.

After its own air force was stationed at the base in Sumatra, there was no similar situation in a few years. There was basically no conflict with the air force of the China Independent Division stationed in the Chagos Islands. Both parties seemed to be tacit , Try to avoid contact, but this morning, my six groups of reconnaissance planes suddenly lost contact, it must be abnormal!

"Could it be that there is something that the Chinese army can't do?" This question mark is in the mind of Major General Oshima. Not as good as others.

Unfortunately, the six Japanese fighter squadrons searched and the six fighter squadrons dispatched by Wu Zhenjiang according to Tang Qiuquan's order met in the sky over the East Indian Ocean. The disparity in the number of fighter jets was more than several times, making the result of the air battle no suspense , Dozens of Japanese fighter jets, together with their pilots, became garbage on the bottom of the East Indian Ocean.

Then, the six fighter brigades of the independent division formed an air formation and approached aggressively towards Sumatra Island. After receiving the report, Major General Oshima was shocked and immediately ordered all the fighter jets of the air team to take off and prepare for the battle. .

Major General Oshima did not have the slightest confidence in this air battle that came without warning. Although the fighter group of the Independent Division approached Sumatra Island, there were only more than 120 fighters, but behind these Chinese pilots stood the south of the Independent Division. The Flying Group, that daunting behemoth, wiped out the No.15 Air Force in just a blink of an eye!

Knowing that he is invincible, it is the duty of the emperor to fight bravely. Major General Oshima's heart is full of bitterness and helplessness.

However, Major General Oshima was full of helplessness, and even made preparations for the attack of the fighter group of the Independent Division. The final result was unexpected.

When the fighter group of the independent division had more than ten minutes before hundreds of Japanese fighters could encounter it, Wu Zhenjiang sneered and gave an order: "The group will return immediately!"

Holding the phone, Major General Oshima, who had been silent for a long time, had an expression of absolute astonishment. He didn't understand why the menacing Chinese fighter group suddenly turned around and turned back.

However, not to exchange fire with the Southern Flying Group of the independent division is obviously in line with his own ideas. Major General Oshima heaved a sigh of relief. Flatly denied the request of these aggressive guys to pursue the Chinese fighter group.

In Major General Oshima's view, this is definitely a trap set by the Chinese. The purpose is to lure the No.15 Air Force to pursue in full force. He will not be fooled. and the escort fleet have left the cruise range of the Japanese No.15 Air Force in Sumatra.

"Hahaha! Wu Zhenjiang is getting more and more cunning and cunning! Take the initiative to attack and cover the formation passing the patrol area of ​​the Japanese Air Force No.15. This is a good job!" Tang Qiuquan looked at the telegram and laughed loudly. Qiu Sheng said.

Tang Qiusheng didn't quite understand what what happened just now meant to his troops, but he was obviously very relaxed and relieved. However, what Tang Qiuquan and Tang Qiusheng didn't know was that the threat from the air was lifted, and the threat from the bottom of the sea was lifted. The threat is quietly approaching.

On the dark seabed of the East Indian Ocean, a Japanese Navy submarine with the hull number "751" was swimming towards the Chagos Islands. The captain, Kanano Mae Yamanakasa, was so familiar with this seabed route that he could close his eyes. Command the actions of the submarine.

"Report to the captain, we are approaching the waters of Nicobar Island!" The navigator reported.

Kanano Nakazuo lazily ordered: "Avoid the sonar signal and maintain the normal speed!"
