Age of Rebirth

He Luming was speechless about the old officer's words. He knew the old officer's temper better. When he heard about the war, his eyes would light up. With him around, the position of commander of the assault aircraft group was out of the question. Then he took the first echelon with him. , is it okay to launch the attack first?

Anyway, he is also the brigade commander, right? He Luming told Le Yiqin his thoughts in a pleading tone. Le Yiqin smiled and said, "Good idea! He Luming, your soldiers and fighter jets are both It turned out to be the family property of the Southern Aviation Group, why are you turning your elbows out? Honestly, command the third echelon for me!"

In fact, Le Yiqin tried his best to compete with Tang Qiuquan, and commanded the assault fleet, and had his own ideas. This latest type of fighter jet shot once when he ambushed and killed the old devil Yamamoto 56, but when he fought against the Japanese Navy's carrier-based aircraft, Not yet, Le Yiqin just wanted to see how much advantage he could have in the air battle with the Japanese Navy carrier-based aircraft, so that he could fight softly with the division commander and equip a few regiments for the Southern Aviation Group. ,

The mission of the Land-Based Aviation Mixed Combat Brigade of the Fleet is very clear. It is to eliminate all the carrier-based fighters of the Japanese Fourth Fleet and open the way for the second attack of the Tang Qiuquan fleet. Therefore, there is no bomber, and Qing Yishui's latest fighter .

"Beep beep!" Suddenly, Le Yiqin's airborne radar sounded an alarm, and when he looked down, two small black dots appeared on the radar screen, which were moving towards the airspace where the aircraft group was located. He judged at a glance, This is a carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft of the Japanese Navy. Both its speed and flying altitude are far lower than its own fighter jets, as far as the current flying altitude of the fleet is concerned.The probability of being discovered by Japanese reconnaissance planes is very low.

However, Le Yiqin didn't want to gamble.In case the fleet is discovered, the Japanese Fourth Fleet is prepared.The effect of sudden attack will be lost. He thought for a while and gave an order: "The third regiment of the left wing of the first echelon immediately dispatch four fighter jets forward at full speed, turn on the airborne radar, and kill the two little devil's reconnaissance planes. Make a quick strike, and don't reveal the location of our fleet!"

Captain Murayama sat on the seat behind the reconnaissance plane, his eyes casually scanning the sea.The escort of the Fourth Fleet lasted for several months. Not only the commander Lieutenant Admiral Inoue Chengmei was extremely tired, but all the carrier-based aircraft pilots, warship officers and sailors were also bored.

Especially the pilots of reconnaissance planes who perform routine reconnaissance missions, looking at the sea repeatedly every day, are almost numb. If they find a ship with the sun flag of the Great Japanese Empire sailing under their noses, it will be enough for them Excited for a while!

Captain Murayama looked at his watch.At 25:25 in the morning, "Hey! Kojima-kun, report to the captain, at [-]:[-] in the morning. The Murayama reconnaissance crew arrived in the waters of the Solomon Islands, and everything is normal!" He said to the pilot in front.

Originally, this was Captain Murayama's job.But he was too lazy to repeat these boring reports, so he handed them over to his deputy, Second Lieutenant Kojima.Then, Captain Murayama yawned.He blinked his sore eyes vigorously.

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the fuselage of his reconnaissance plane trembled violently, and then it started to shake, and then he saw an unidentified fighter jet, the nose of which was spitting flames, heading towards his The reconnaissance plane rushed forward, "Enemy attack!" Captain Murayama only had time to flash this idea in his mind.

Immediately, a few rounds of large-caliber machine gun bullets tore his body apart, and then there was a loud noise in the air, and a huge cloud of smoke burst into the air with flames. Captain Murayama, his deputy, Second Lieutenant Kojima, and the reconnaissance plane , turned into pieces of the blue sky, and the fate of another Japanese carrier-based reconnaissance plane was the same. When it was smashed into pieces, it was not even clear the identity of the plane that attacked itself.

At 55:[-], on board the flagship of the Fourth Fleet "Kashima", Rear Admiral Anzai, the chief of staff of the fleet, put down the phone and said to the commander, Lieutenant Admiral Inoue: "Commander, the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft brigade reported that the reconnaissance in the direction of the Solomon Islands The Murayama crew did not send back the reconnaissance report on time!"

"Huh?" Lieutenant General Inoue glanced lazily at Chief of Staff Anxi and asked, "Are there any special circumstances?"

"It's not clear yet. According to the usual practice, each reconnaissance unit reports the reconnaissance situation to the reconnaissance aircraft brigade every three to 10 minutes, regardless of whether the enemy is found!" Chief of Staff Anxi replied.

"The guys in the reconnaissance aircraft brigade are really getting more and more incompetent!" Lieutenant General Inoue said impatiently, "Send another reconnaissance team, and then we will know what's going on! Also, in case In case, the shipboard radar strengthens the search intensity and frequency in the sea and airspace of the Solomon Islands! This is a trivial matter, and I need to arrange it myself?"

Chief of Staff Anxi saw that the commander was not troublesome, so he hurriedly called. A few minutes later, two Japanese carrier-based reconnaissance planes took off. The Fourth Fleet and the troop carrier formation are densely packed with small black dots.

Ten minutes later, the phone in Lieutenant General Inoue's command cabin rang quickly, and Chief of Staff Anxi picked up the phone, "Fleet Command, what's the matter?"

"Ah? What? Repeat it again! Impossible!" Just after hearing a few words, Chief of Staff Anxi's face turned pale, and he shouted in an unbelievable tone.

"Chief of Staff Anxi, what's the situation?" Lieutenant General Inoue was startled by his Chief of Staff's expression and tone, and hurriedly asked.

"Commander, the radar found that in the northwest direction of the fleet, about [-] kilometers away from us, a large-scale aircraft fleet was found flying towards our position at high speed!" Chief of Staff Anxi said hurriedly.

"Can its identity be identified? Could it be our land-based fleet?" Lieutenant General Inoue judged.

Chief of Staff Anxi shook his head and said: "It is impossible to determine its identity, and it will not be our land-based fleet. According to the usual practice, if our fleet passes through the airspace of the Solomon Islands, it will be notified in advance!"

"Enemy attack?" Lieutenant General Inoue exclaimed in shock.

"Very likely!" Chief of Staff Anxi nodded.

"Order, all the carrier-based aircraft of the fleet take off to fight! The fleet immediately deploys in anti-aircraft formation, and orders the troop carrier formation to evacuate immediately!" Lieutenant General Inoue's reaction was fairly quick, and he immediately issued an order. However, in his mind There is a big mystery, if it is the fleet of the China Independent Division, then where did it come from?

At sea, there was no trace of the fleet of the China Independent Division. On land, on Irian Island, which is the closest to the waters of the Solomon Islands, there is a land-based fleet of the China Independent Division Aviation, but the combat radius of its combat aircraft cannot cover here at all.

When the shipboard radar of the Japanese Fourth Fleet discovered the Le Yiqin fleet, he had already made preparations for the attack. The distance of more than 100 kilometers was only a matter of ten minutes for high-speed fighter jets.

When the carrier-based fighter jets of the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Army had already taken off and were trying their best to climb up, and most of them were still gliding on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier, the first attack echelon commanded by Le Yiqin, more than [-] new The fighter jets had already pounced on the outer airspace of the Fourth Fleet, and the Japanese carrier-based fighter jets that were climbing to altitude suddenly became live targets.

Le Yiqin didn't talk nonsense. On the formation channel, he shouted, "All attack!" Then, he caught a Japanese carrier-based fighter whose belly was almost exposed in front of him, and was desperately climbing to the altitude. It was a few machine gun bullets that hit the Japanese fighter jet so hard that it exploded in the air. The Japanese carrier-based aircraft that had already taken off almost all suffered a similar fate.

The anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese Fourth Fleet began to fight back. Around the four aircraft carriers, a circle of fire nets was fired to cover the carrier-based aircraft taking off. Then, the second and third echelons of the Le Yiqin fleet also followed suit. Into the battle, in the blue sky, the fighter jets of both sides chased each other, flying up and down, and from time to time, a fighter jet plunged into the sea with black smoke, causing a cloud of spray.

Le Yiqin is quite satisfied with the excellent air combat performance of the new fighter jets. The air battle started for more than ten minutes, and no one has been shot down. The ones that exploded in the air and plunged into the sea were all the carrier-based planes of the little devils, and the fight was enjoyable. Woolen cloth!

Lieutenant General Inoue was also calm in his heart. After careful observation, he concluded that although the fleet of the China Aviation Force came suddenly, there were no bombers. The firepower cannot pose a threat to the fleet at all.

However, as the air battle continued, Lieutenant General Inoue's face could no longer be calm. He was horrified to find that the fighters shot down were basically his own carrier-based fighter jets, "My Amaterasu! Where did this group come from?" An enemy with superb air combat skills and fierce fighting style?" On his forehead, fine beads of sweat appeared!

Fortunately, Lieutenant Admiral Inoue's torment did not last too long. An hour later, the Chinese fighter group withdrew from the battle and returned. He breathed a long sigh of relief and rejected the fleet carrier aircraft commander's request for a pursuit , The warships and troop carriers of the Fourth Fleet have almost no losses, but the losses of carrier-based aircraft should be serious. There is no need to count them. Based on what I have seen, I am afraid that there are less than a hundred left?

Le Yiqin drove the fighter plane and circled in the air. Seeing that there were no Japanese carrier-based fighter jets catching up, she shook her head regretfully and turned on the radio, "Commander Tang, my work is done. The remaining little devil warships And the troop carrier, leave it to your fleet!"

"Yiqin, what's the result of the battle?" Tang Qiuquan asked on the fleet flagship "Changlong". He was most concerned about this issue.

"Hey!" Le Yiqin smiled contentedly, and said, "Two or two big cats and kittens, I'll leave dozens of them for you!"

"Okay!" Tang Qiuquan slapped the table, "Leave the rest to us!" Then, with a gleam in his eyes, he said to Tang Yunfei, the deputy chief of staff: "The fleet is approaching the Fourth Fleet of the Japanese Army at full speed, and all carrier-based aircraft are taking off to attack! "
