Age of Rebirth

The fighter jets of China and Japan were immediately entangled, flying up and down, chasing and shooting each other. The number of fighter jets in the first echelon of the Northern Flying Group was almost double that of the Japanese fighter jets. , In less than 5 minutes of the fight, the aircraft fleet of Matsuoka was put at an absolute disadvantage.

It was even worse for the Japanese bombers flying towards the Northern Fleet. All the fighters of the Japanese army were chased and attacked by about two fighters from the independent division. The rest of the fighter jets rushed into the Japanese bomber group ferociously, and then hit them fiercely with a rain of bullets.

The Japanese bombers without the cover of fighter jets are just a group of lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Under the attack of the two fighter regiments under Liu Cuigang, the Japanese bombers fell into the sea from the air like dumplings, or were volleyed into fireballs .

Colonel Matsuoka's eyes were red. He commanded more than [-] fighter jets, but he could only watch his bombers suffer heavy losses under the attack of the Chinese fighter jets, and the warships of the Chinese fleet were just around the corner. Yao, swaggeringly far away in the field of vision, but there is not a fighter jet of the Empire, rushing over even if it is to pour a shuttle of machine gun bullets.

"No.11 Air Force, get out of the battle immediately, and follow me to cover the attack of the bomber fleet! The other fleet will entangle the Chinese fighter jets at any cost!" Colonel Matsuoka shouted loudly in the formation communication channel.

Colonel Matsuoka's idea is good, the fighter jets fighting to escort suffered heavy losses, and the bomber fleet should be bombed against the China fleet, otherwise.The result of this attack was too ugly.But his idea could not be realized, and a few strings of machine gun bullets flew over.Colonel Matsuoka hurriedly evaded, just as the fighter planes were leveled, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he was being targeted by three Chinese fighter jets.

It may be Colonel Matsuoka's plane, which has the logo of the formation commander. The fighter pilots of the Northern Aviation Group are all veterans who have fought with the former Soviet Air Force. As for the number of times they have fought with the Japanese Air Force.They are countless, and naturally understand the principle of capturing the thief first, and it just so happens that Master Matsuoka is one of the targets.

Flying up and down, Colonel Matsuoka relied on his superb flying skills to drive the plane to the left and right, trying to get rid of the pursuit of the three fighters of the Independent Division, but Amaterasu obviously did not accompany him. The pilots of the three fighters of the Independent Division .After chasing and fighting like a shadow, after a test of flying skills, Colonel Matsuoka's plane was hit by dozens of bullets from the airborne machine gun.Several bloody holes were punched out of his chest, and then the landline was blown into pieces in the air.

The formation commander was killed.Let the Japanese fleet at a disadvantage become more and more chaotic.In the command cabin of the flagship of the Northern Fleet, Admiral Amosiyev, the commander of the fleet.Looking at the air combat battlefield with blazing eyes, his pale blue eyes were full of regret.

"Chief of staff, I am very sorry that the fleet cannot participate in the battle. Otherwise, with the powerful anti-aircraft firepower of our fleet, we will definitely be able to make achievements, instead of being protected as it is now!" Amosiyev told the chief of staff Tang Yunfei said.

"Without the carrier-based aircraft, we can only be bystanders in this battle!" Tang Yunfei said very disappointed: "Otherwise, I am now driving a carrier-based aircraft to fight fiercely with Japanese fighter jets in the sky!"

"Oh, I see, you are a carrier-based aircraft commander. It seems that the regrets of the two of us are similar!" Amosiyev said with a smile. The fleet gradually moved away from the air combat area. The smoke of gunpowder did not dissipate.

The other mixed aircraft group of the Japanese army that took off from Masuda was mainly the Honshu Northern Defense Area Headquarters Flying Corps that mainly recruited pilots. The formation commander was the Italian Colonel Violajo, and his formation was even more unlucky. Just after taking off from Masuda and several surrounding field airports, without even seeing the shadow of Tsushima Island, it was intercepted and killed by more than [-] fighter jets from the second echelon of Liu Cuigang's fleet.

The air battle also broke out suddenly. According to the guidance of the ground radar, more than [-] fighter jets from the second echelon of Liu Cuigang's fleet precisely cut in front of the Japanese fleet that Masuda took off.

Colonel Violaro's brain reacted very quickly. While cursing the Chinese for being cunning and the Japanese for providing stupid wrong information, he ordered the fleet to disperse.

Colonel Violajo knew very well that since the Chinese had been prepared for a long time, the task of bombing the Chinese fleet would be impossible. It was God’s favor that the flight corps could return with minimal losses. Obviously, the Korean Strait appeared The Chinese fleet is a trap, and the Japanese have been fooled.

In one day in Tokyo, after being bombed by Chinese bombers twice in a row, he and his friend, Captain of the Recruiting Flying Corps of the Southern Defense District Headquarters of Honshu Island, French Colonel Bradbury, learned about the situation through several phone calls. There is a lot of inside story about an air battle that cost the Japanese and recruited pilots a lot of money.

A sentence said by his friend Bradbury left a deep impression on Violano, "The Chinese are cunning and good at using tactics. Their military tactics make you hard to guard against!" When the second echelon of Liu Cuigang's fleet When he was lying on the forward path of his fleet, he completely understood that what came to his mind was "trap."

As a result, Colonel Violano did not have the confidence and courage to continue the fight, and hurriedly ordered to retreat. He reacted quickly enough and responded appropriately, but he found sadly that not only the bomber fleet could not leave, but also his own fighter jet fleet. Can't be separated.

Colonel Violano believes that the fighter pilots under his command are all experienced veterans from Europe. In terms of actual combat experience and flying skills, they are better than Chinese fighter pilots. In a one-on-one air battle, they can defeat the Chinese. It is not that he has never fought against Chinese fighter pilots before, and the record of recruiting pilots is not bad, at least, he has not suffered a loss.

However, this weak advantage no longer exists today. Colonel Violano sadly saw that the Chinese fighter group divided about a hundred fighters and rushed towards his bomber group fiercely, leaving behind The number of Chinese fighters fighting fiercely in my own fighter group still exceeds myself. Even my own plane was entangled by two Chinese fighters and suffered a series of bullets.

"Oh! My God! Cunning and damned Chinese!" Colonel Violano screamed again and again, dodging the bullets fired from the side and rear in embarrassment.

In Busan, Major General Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Aviation Group Temporary Command Post of the Independent Division Air Force, is reporting the progress of the battle to Liu Cuigang: "Reporting to the commander, the battle is starting as we expected, and the mixed fleet of Japanese troops taking off from the direction of Yamaguchi has fallen into chaos. Among them, the mixed fleet of Japanese troops taking off from the direction of Masuda was intercepted by our second echelon fleet, and they were trying their best to leave the battlefield and retreat!"

"En!" Liu Cuigang nodded in satisfaction, with a smile on his face. The two battlefields of the air battle are under his control and are proceeding according to the predetermined battle plan. If there are no special accidents, today He decided to eat the little devil himself, "How is the situation of the Northern Fleet now? Is there any loss?" He still cared about the Northern Fleet as a bait.

Dong Ningxuan replied with a smile: "The Northern Fleet Command has just sent a telegram. The fleet is currently very safe and has left the air combat area. It is approaching the coast of Busan. The tone of the fleet chief Tang who sent the telegram seems to be very regrettable!"

"Sorry!" Liu Cuigang laughed, and said, "This Tang Yunfei, he was the commander of the carrier-based aircraft unit of the fleet. He is a guy with wings. Now, he can only watch others play lively. Can you not regret it?" ! Ning Xuan, order the third echelon fleet to take off immediately and go to the scheduled airspace to stand by!"

"Commander, do you want the third echelon fleet to join the ongoing air battle?" Dong Ningxuan asked in confusion.

"No, the third echelon fleet is going to deal with another opponent!" Liu Cuigang's eyes were shining with wisdom, and he said: "The main Japanese fleet in the northern part of Honshu Island has now fallen into extreme passivity, so continue to fight like this." , I am afraid that more than two-thirds of the combat aircraft will be damaged, you say, under such circumstances, can the Japanese fleet on Kyushu Island still sit still?"

Hiroshima in the northern part of Honshu Island, the headquarters of the northern Honshu Defense Area of ​​Japan's mainland defense, and the loudspeakers in the combat room reflect the situation of the two air combat battlefields without any distortion. Commander Lieutenant General Chiba Asami and Chief of Staff Ishihara Major General Yuichi and Air Defense Commander Major General Yokota Takayoshi, all three of them looked deathly gray, listening to the panicked shouts, fierce gunshots, and occasional explosions from the loudspeaker.

"Yokota-kun, I was wrong. I didn't see through the conspiracy of the Chinese people. I insisted on going to war and put the empire's aircraft fleet in danger! I am willing to accept any punishment from the Homeland Defense Command!" Chief of Staff Major General Ishihara said. His face was distorted, and he said to the air defense commander, Major General Yokota, in pain.

"Ishihara-kun, now is not the time to talk about accountability! If our aircraft fleet suffers heavy losses, you alone cannot bear the responsibility!" Major General Yokota gave him a disgusted look, and said in a cold tone.

Then, Major General Yokota turned his attention to Lieutenant General Chiba Yuichi, the commander of the headquarters, and said hurriedly: "Your Excellency, the situation on the battlefield is extremely critical. There is no doubt that we have been trapped by the Chinese. Please immediately defend Kyushu Island." Commander Lieutenant General Shirakawa calls for help! If we hesitate any longer, our losses will be even greater!"

Lieutenant General Qianye raised his head heavily, eyes full of guilt, if he hadn't supported Chief of Staff Ishihara's opinion, there would be no current result. The only way out right now is to put down his face and ask that guy Bai Chuan for help.
