Age of Rebirth

Lieutenant General Chiba, Commander of the Northern Defense Area Headquarters of Japan's Home Defense Honshu Island, continued: "From the perspective of the battle damage ratio, even if we paid the price, it is worth it. Now, the Chinese Independent Division is overwhelming the border and stationed in North Korea. If the peninsula wants to attack the mainland, it must cross the sea, so it is particularly important to severely damage its fleet, Yokota-kun, it is good to be cautious, but you must have an overall strategic vision!"

Major General Yokota stood up, stood at attention, and said loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander, Yokota has been educated, please give me an order!"

"Okay!" Lieutenant General Chiba nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Since Yokota-kun mentioned the Chinese trap, we have to guard against it, and we need to deploy heavy troops. The seventh, eighth, No.11 and No.12 United Airlines In this way, we can deploy more than [-] fighters and [-] bombers to attack the China fleet!"

"At the same time, coordinate with the headquarters of the Kyushu Island Defense Zone and ask them to support our attack when necessary. Yokota-kun, go and issue orders. Maybe our attack this time will create an unprecedented miracle! Let the navy Help the guys envy the record!"

The Sea of ​​Japan, the warships of the Northern Fleet, are sailing in the direction of the Korean Strait in battle formation. The warships are plowing through the sea water, pulling out white waves at the stern. In the flagship command cabin, Fleet Commander Amosi Admiral Yev and the chief of staff of the fleet, Colonel Tang Yunfei, all held binoculars to observe the situation ahead, and there were several other staff officers.What are you talking about in a low voice?

Amosiyev put down the binoculars and said to Tang Yunfei: "Chief of Staff, is the current location of the fleet within the detection range of the Japanese Tsushima Island's ground radar?"

Tang Yunfei nodded and said: "Yes. Commander, according to the performance data of the Japanese army's radar we have, it will be detected by the Japanese army's ground radar on Tsushima Island 10 minutes ago. Next, it depends on the actions of the Japanese army!"

"I really don't understand. The position of Tsushima Island is very important. Why don't we occupy it? Instead, let it become the eyes of the Japanese to monitor the Korean Strait and the Korean Peninsula?" Amosiyev shook his head, very said puzzled.Indeed, with the current strength of the Independent Division, there is no need to dispatch aviation troops, and a few warships can blast the palm-sized Tsushima Island to the ground.

Tang Yunfei smiled, organized his language, and said: "There is a tactic in the Chinese Art of War, which is called 'strike the grass to scare the snake'. If we capture Tsushima Island, it will definitely arouse the high alert of the Japanese army. It will even reopen other ground radar stations, Strengthening the surveillance of our army will not be conducive to future cross-sea operations, this is to scare the snake away!"

"And before the large-scale attack. If Tsushima Island is not occupied, the Japanese army will have a sense of security. Once the offensive begins. We will quickly and secretly occupy Tsushima Island, so that the ground radar station on Tsushima Island will be used to deceive the Japanese army. Chess pieces, Commander. Do you understand my explanation?"

"You Chinese are really born tacticians, and the wisdom of the Chinese is even more terrifying. I have a deep understanding of this from my teacher!" Amosiyev shrugged and said, "I don't understand everything. But I can understand some!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, and immediately, Amosiyev said: "Chief of Staff, we have already alerted the enemy, and ordered all the shipboard radars of the fleet to search the air direction of the Japanese mainland in all directions, and the movements of the Japanese aircraft fleet!"

Not only the radars of the Northern Fleet are all turned on, but all the ground radars of the Northern Flying Group deployed along the coast of the Korean Peninsula are also fully searching for the air direction of Japan. Liu Cuigang's temporary headquarters is located in an inconspicuous private house in the downtown area of ​​Busan. inside.

"Dinglingling!" The phone on the table rang quickly. Chief of Staff Dong Ningxuan picked up the phone, and just after listening to a few words, he covered the receiver with his hand and turned to Liu Cuigang and said, "Commander, it's the division commander's call. Looking for you!"

Liu Cuigang's heart skipped a beat, the call was about to start, the teacher called, maybe the situation had changed, so he took a few steps to answer the phone, "Master, I'm Liu Cuigang, what instructions do you have?"

On the other end of the phone, Tang Qiuli chuckled and said, "You are about to start fighting. What instructions do I have, Cuigang, I have ordered two air defense brigades to be transferred to the coastal line of Busan. If necessary, you can notify the North The fleet is approaching the coast of Busan, hundreds of anti-aircraft guns can still play a certain role, you can fight with your hands and feet, don't have any worries!"

Liu Cuigang's heart was warm, and he hurriedly said: "Master, please rest assured, I will report the progress of the battle to you at any time!"

Tang Qiuli was even happier, and said: "The fierce battle is raging, you don't have time to report to me, I still have the same principle, I will never interfere with the command of the frontline commanders!"

Putting down the phone, Liu Cuigang rubbed his hands excitedly. Dong Ningxuan had just finished answering a call, "Commander, the ground radar station reported that the little devils fleet on Honshu Island was dispatched. There were more than 800 fighter jets and more than 400 bombers. Coming from two directions with Masuda, the target is the Northern Fleet!"

"The little devils fleet coming from the direction of Yamaguchi has more than [-] fighter jets and more than [-] bombers. The little devils mixed fleet coming from the direction of Masuda has more than [-] fighter jets and more than [-] bombers. Before the war with you The estimates are basically consistent!"

"Okay!" Liu Cuigang nodded in satisfaction, and issued an order: "Order, the first echelon fighter group will take off immediately and meet the enemy according to the predetermined plan. The second echelon will dispatch two fighter regiments to cover the fleet and notify the Northern Fleet that the decoy operation is successful." , the target has appeared, please move the fleet closer to the coast of Busan!"

On the Sea of ​​Japan, the Northern Fleet has entered the northern channel of the Korean Strait. Under the bright sun, the outline of Tsushima Island is clearly visible. Tang Yunfei came over and reported to Amosiyev: "Commander, received the According to the radar report, two mixed aircraft groups of the Japanese army were found to take off from the direction of Yamaguchi and Masuda, and they were encircling our fleet!"

"The Japanese have taken the bait!" Amosiyev said beamingly, "Order the fleet to enter the state of air defense combat readiness. Has Commander Liu received a telegram?"

"Not yet!" Tang Yunfei shook his head and replied.

As soon as the voice fell, a communication staff officer hurried into the command cabin, "Report to the commander and chief of staff, and received an urgent call from Commander Liu of the Northern Flying Group!"

"Read!" Amosiyev said, still looking at the distant sea.

The staff officer read aloud: "The decoy operation is successful, the target has appeared, please move the Northern Fleet closer to the coast of Busan!"

"Order the fleet to turn around and move closer to the Busan area!" Amosiyev gave the order: "Chief of Staff, our mission has been completed, and now we will watch Commander Liu's performance. You know what I was thinking just now. ?"

Seeing that Amosiyev suddenly brought up this topic that had nothing to do with the upcoming battle, Tang Yunfei smiled and shook his head.

Amosiyev laughed and said, "I was thinking, if I ordered the naval guns to bombard Tsushima Island just now, would it be a warning!"

The mixed Japanese aircraft fleet that took off from the field airport in the Yamaguchi area was closest to the target. At this moment, it has flown into the airspace of the Korean Strait, the southern airspace, and is not far from the airspace of Tsushima Island. The fleet commander, General Matsuoka, glanced at the undulating waves under the wings. On the surface of the sea, turn on the ground-to-air communicator, "Ground radar station on Tsushima Island, this is General Matsuoka, commander of the Yamaguchi Fleet, please report the current position of the China Fleet!"

On Tsushima Island, Uchiyama Uchiyama, the station chief of the Japanese ground radar station, personally operated the aircraft. Because of his excitement and excitement, his face was flushed sickly. To be precise, the battle started under his own guidance. Hearing The fleet commander called and quickly replied: "I am Uchiyama, the station commander of the Tsushima Island Ground Radar Station. The China Fleet has now changed its course and is moving towards Busan, but it is under the surveillance of my radar station!"

As soon as Matsuoka heard this, he became anxious, and said: "Master Uchiyama, please provide the fleet with the position of the China fleet at any time, and monitor whether the China fleet is dispatched!" After turning off the ground-to-air communicator, he issued an order to the fleet, "Move forward at full speed, The fighter formation climbs to a favorable position to cover the attack of the bomber formation!"

How wide is the Korean Strait? As soon as the fighter plane accelerates, more than half of it passes. From a high altitude, Tsushima Island, which looks like a slap in the palm, flashes past, and more than a hundred ships appear on the sea ahead. The blue-gray shadow of the warship looked as if it was running away. Colonel Matsuoka's blood boiled and his eyes burned.

Opportunity, this Chinese fleet has no carrier-based aircraft to take off to fight, and there is no Chinese aviation fleet to come to cover. The more than [-] Chinese warships exposed on the sea are the prey of their own fleet. He gave an order, "Order, the fighter group is on alert, and the bomber group is ready to attack!"

"Ugh!" Colonel Matsuoka had just given the order, when he suddenly gasped, his eyes bulged out in disbelief, his mouth opened wide, he was so shocked that he almost bit off his tongue, right in front of him, there was a mass of fighter jets from the China Independent Division The group suddenly appeared in a more favorable position at high altitude, and swooped down like a goshawk towards its own fleet, the number of which was at least more than 800.

Liu Cuigang's reinforcements have always been known for their resourcefulness, relying on high-performance radar, and mastering all the movements of the two Japanese fleets. His first-echelon fleet arrived at the scheduled battlefield airspace a few minutes earlier than Colonel Matsuoka's fleet, under the cover of clouds , hovering outside the distance monitored by the Japanese Tsushima Island's ground radar, forming a surprise attack effect.

The air battle broke out suddenly when the Japanese Matsuoka fleet was caught off guard. Liu Cuigang's first echelon fleet, like a sharp giant axe, split the Japanese fleet in half. A Japanese fighter jet exploded into a ball of fire in the air.
