Age of Rebirth

Not only to avoid the flying machine gun bullets, but also to escape desperately. The little fuel left in the Japanese fighter jets was quickly exhausted. , will be with the fighter jets, or fall into the sea, or be hit by the Chinese fighter jets that are chasing after them and explode in the air.

Whether it is a pilot from Europe or a Japanese pilot, there is only one way to survive. They will not choose to die with fighter jets. In the sky, parachutes appear one by one. Le Yiqin looks at the battlefield sideways, with a cruel smile on his lips. He will not be lenient when dealing with the Japanese and the guys who help the Japanese. "Order, don't let a parachute jumping devil or Western devil go!"

"Order, the He Luming fleet began to return, the carrier-based fighter group covered the carrier-based bomber group, first destroyed the Japanese field airports around Tokyo, and then threw all the remaining bombs on the little devil's head, the Chichijima flying group followed Let me take a stroll around the capital of the little devil!"

At dusk, the air raid on Tokyo's independent division aircraft group had already returned. The smoke over Tokyo had not yet cleared. In the headquarters of the southern defense area of ​​Honshu Island, Lieutenant General Ohno, Major General Takamura, and Colonel Bradbury followed Sitting in the combat room as if they had lost their vitality, they listened to the sound of bomb explosions for more than an hour, the roar of Chinese combat planes in the sky, and smelled the smell of gunpowder that permeated the entire urban area of ​​Tokyo for most of the day.

There were constant calls from the following to the headquarters of the defense zone. The fleet of the defense zone and the recruiting flight corps were wiped out, and none of them returned.Most of the lost fuel was exhausted and crashed at several field airfields around Tokyo.They were all bombed by Chinese bombers in less than a few months.It can't be restarted at all. Although the bombing in downtown Tokyo was not very serious, more than a dozen bombs fell on His Majesty's palace, and His Majesty's life and death are now unknown.

The most terrible thing is the later report that the imperial palace was attacked by air, and the life and death of His Majesty the Emperor are unknown.Although they didn't receive a call from any of the big men in the base camp, Lieutenant General Ohno and Major General Takamura understood that their fate would not be as simple as losing their posts or even going to a military court and going to jail.

At this time, Lieutenant General Ohno and Major General Takamura hoped that someone from the base camp would call to severely reprimand or even scold themselves. They were disappointed. The air raid had ended for a few hours, and the base camp was always strict.But there was no movement at all, neither a phone call nor an order, and it seemed that the two commanders of the headquarters of the southern defense area of ​​​​Honshu Island had been forgotten.But the two of them knew that in the eyes of the big bosses in the base camp, they were already dead.

"Takamura-kun. Let's go, we should give His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp a satisfactory explanation! What is the explanation to the family? Hurry up and write it out!" Lieutenant General Ohno said in a tragic tone, breaking the frozen and oppressive atmosphere in the operation room.

Major General Gao Cun understood.For himself and Lieutenant General Ohno, the only way to go is to cut himself open to apologize. He pretended to be calm and ordered a staff officer, "Prepare a quiet room for Commander Ohno and me, and prepare more sake!"

Colonel Bradbury, with nothing in his eyes, seemed to understand everything from the tone of the two Japanese generals. Now he has no pity for these two people who are about to lose their lives because of their own mistakes.

If it weren't for the stupidity and stubbornness of these two Japanese who refused to accept their own suggestions, today's air battle would not have ended like this. Not only did Tokyo become a place where Chinese planes raged, but they also took into account the experience of hundreds of them. The rich pilot, to be honest, wanted to pull out his gun and shoot these two guys on the spot. Of course, he didn't have any sympathy for them, and he even sneered at the Japanese practice of cutting open their stomachs at every turn.

Colonel Bradbury got up and left, not even interested in taking a look at the two Japanese. He didn't want to accompany the two Japanese and play some tricks of disembowelment to apologize. Now he wants to think about it. It is a question of where to go next after the capital is exhausted.

Seeing the back of Colonel Bradbury disappearing in front of his eyes, Lieutenant General Ohno and Major General Takamura looked at each other. They had no right to demand that the Frenchman cut himself open with him in apology. , passing strong remorse, if the Frenchman's advice was followed, the air battle would never have ended like this, but it was too late now, the two of them did not speak anymore, and each wrote a suicide note on the desk.

After finishing writing, he slowly put the suicide note into an envelope and handed it to the staff officer waiting nearby. The two of them walked into the prepared quiet room in silence. After more than an hour, several senior staff officers from the Southern Defense Headquarters of Honshu Island , Pushing open the door of the quiet room, two corpses were lying on the tatami, two pools of blood that had solidified, and the smell of blood filled the room.

A staff officer with the rank of major general sniffed Lieutenant General Ono and Major General Gao Cun, shook his head, walked out of the quiet room without saying a word, went to the outside room, picked up the phone, and did not know what to say to the big guy in the base camp. report.

At the end of the runway at Chichijima Field Airfield in the Ogasawara Islands, Admiral Tang Qiusheng, deputy division commander, Colonel He Luming, commander of the Fleet Land-based Mixed Combat Brigade who returned earlier, and Major General He Zhijun, chief of staff of the Southern Aviation Group, stood together, waiting for the returning fighter pilots.

Le Yiqin piloted the fighter plane and landed lightly on the runway. When the fighter plane stopped, he jumped off the fighter plane and walked towards Tang Qiusheng with strides, exuding a strong fighting spirit all over his body.

"Yiqin, thank you for your hard work and the pilots. How is it? Is there a big loss for the troops?" Tang Qiusheng went up to meet him and asked Le Yiqin by the hand.

Le Yiqin shook his head and said: "There was a battle, and nearly a thousand fighter jets were killed by the little devil. It's hard work. The loss of the troops is still within the acceptable range. A total of more than 230 fighter jets have been lost, and the pilots have been sacrificed. 68 people, the rest were rescued by Commander Tang's warship after parachute jumping, and it is estimated that they will be able to return to the team tonight."

"That's good!" Tang Qiusheng nodded again and again. It's nothing to lose the fighter jets, but the pilots are all treasures. "Yiqin, take a good rest. I have ordered the logistics department to improve the food for the pilots who participated in the battle tonight. Everyone Eat and drink happily, and celebrate the great victory of bombing Tokyo!"

"Deputy teacher, I'm afraid I can't drink this wine now!" In the afterglow of the setting sun, Le Yiqin said with eyes like burning flames.

Tang Qiusheng was taken aback, and asked, "Do you still have another plan?"

"Yes! Kill the carbine!" Le Yiqin said sonorously: "While his illness is killing him, the little devil's field airports around Tokyo have been destroyed, and the little devil's fighter jets have also been wiped out. Tokyo is the air defense When you are at your weakest point, you can’t miss it. I plan to strike Tokyo again tonight. This time, I will be ruthless and send out all the bombers and fighter jets. I don’t want to blow up the little devil’s capital to the ground. I feel uncomfortable!”

Tang Qiusheng's eyes lit up, but then he said worriedly: "The plan is good, and the opportunity is rare. However, after the air battle this morning, can the mental and physical strength of the fighter pilots support continuous operations?"

Le Yiqin smiled and said: "Deputy Commander, you have underestimated these guys. You only need to rest for a few hours to ensure that everyone is alive and well. Don't look at the formation of the land-based mixed combat brigade now belonging to the fleet, but that's all me. The soldiers brought out by Le Yiqin are like me. When they hear about the war, their eyeballs glow green, and they can’t eat, drink, or sleep. What’s more, the air raid on Tokyo at night will start in the early morning, no problem! "

"What is Commander Tang's opinion?" Tang Qiusheng asked a crucial question.

Le Yiqin opened his mouth wide, and said with a smile: "When I reported to Commander Tang about the plan to attack Tokyo at night, he just said, 'Heroes see the same thing,' and the two of us wanted to go together! Tang The commander's fleet is still operating along the coast of Japan, when the fleet returned, the fleet was bombarding the Japanese ground radar station on Miyake Island!"

Tang Qiusheng was completely relieved, and said to He Zhijun: "Chief of Staff He, immediately arrange for the pilots to eat and rest quickly!" Then, he said to Major General Yu Guanghan, Chief of Staff of the Sulu Mobile Corps: "Guanghan, take the results of today's air battle, Report to the teacher immediately!"

Busan on the Korean Peninsula, the frontline headquarters of the Independent Division, the division chief of staff Zhao Yuhe and the lieutenant general came to Tang Qiuli's office excitedly, and said in a loud voice: "Master, good news, the aviation of the South Route Attack Force has hit a Great victory! This is a telegram from Deputy Teacher Tang!"

Tang Qiuli received the telegram, read it carefully, nodded frequently, and said to Zhao Yuhe: "Call back Deputy Commander Tang, I have heard all the calls, and I am glad to hear that the South Road offensive troops have won unprecedented victories in the Tokyo air battle. For joy, gratification and congratulations!"

"The significance of this battle is that it broke the stalemate with the Japanese air defense force and dealt a heavy blow to the Japanese recruited air force. For the meritorious personnel of the troops who participated in the war this time, they should be rewarded heavily!"

Zhao Yuhe wrote down the division commander's order, turned around happily, and was about to leave, but was stopped again, "Wait, Yuhe, please report the results of the aviation of the attacking force on the South Route to Liu Cuigang in the name of the division commander's staff office! " Tang Qiuli said.

"Why?" Zhao Yuhe was puzzled.

"Give Liu Cuigang a little pressure!" Tang Qiuli said: "Facing Le Yiqin's great results, can Liu Cuigang not be jealous? Only when he is under pressure can he be motivated!"

At [-] o'clock in the morning, Chichijima Airport in the Ogasawara Islands was brightly lit and began to make noise. Fighters and bombers lined up neatly on the runway, and the ground crews were busy refueling and replenishing the ammunition for the planes. There was a tense atmosphere before the battle.
