Age of Rebirth

"Oh!" After listening to the communication staff's explanation, Morita put away all the doubts in his heart, waved the staff to leave, and then asked the Air Defense Commander Major General Suzuki, "Suzuki-kun, do you have any comments from the Air Defense Command? Can the fleet be dispatched to launch an attack on the China fleet?"

Lieutenant General Morita's tone was quite polite. He knew that he was a layman. Before he took office, Prince Zaijin also repeatedly warned that he should listen to Suzuki Shinji's opinion more about commanding air combat. That guy is an expert.

Seeing Commander Morita asking for his opinion, Major General Suzuki pondered for a while, and replied cautiously: "Commander, you also know that after the last battle in the airspace of the Korean Strait, the aviation unit of the defense zone headquarters suffered heavy losses. Together, there are less than [-], of which the number of fighter jets is only more than [-]!"

"This batch of aviation troops was originally used to deal with the landing troops of the China Independent Division. If we attack at this time, in case the losses are too large, and the replenishment of the base camp cannot arrive in time, once the China Independent Division troops start to land, how should we respond? "

Chief of Staff Takashima was not happy to listen, and retorted: "Commander Suzuki, could it be that the Air Defense Command has more than [-] fighter jets in its hands, and just watched the positions of the imperial army being bombarded indiscriminately by Chinese bombers? The flesh and blood of the imperial soldiers disappeared among the bombs of the Chinese bombers?"

"Once the first-line beach positions near the mountain pass are seriously destroyed, it will be easy for the infantry of the China Independent Division to land. For us, it is by no means a good thing! Moreover, when the infantry of the China Independent Division began to land on the beach near the mountain pass, for the sake of Covering the infantry. The air force dispatched can only be stronger than it is now, which is more important. Suzuki-kun must weigh it carefully!"

"This..." Major General Suzuki was speechless, and Takashima's words were not unreasonable.He has no way to refute it. This is a common-sense question. He looked at Lieutenant General Morita, which means, you decide!

Lieutenant General Morita agreed with the words of Chief of Staff Takashima. Seeing this, he pondered for a moment and said: "Suzuki-kun, we cannot turn a blind eye to the bombing of the China Air Force. There must be some counterattacks. Of course, it is up to Suzuki-kun to decide how to fight. Do not interfere!"

He said he would not interfere with the command, but Lieutenant General Morita's meaning was very clear. It was impossible for Major General Suzuki not to send troops. He nodded and picked up the phone on the table. "I am Commander Suzuki. I order that the First Air Force and the Second Air Force immediately dispatch all fighter jets to attack the China fleet. Remember that the two air forces must cooperate in operations and cannot disperse their forces!" Major General Suzuki dispatched fighter jets quantity.However, there are more than 180 frames, even if most of them are damaged.Also within the acceptable range!

At this time, the Japanese army was on the first position on the beach near Yamaguchi.Already completely shrouded in flames and gunpowder smoke, the Japanese army's reinforced concrete fortifications, solid bunkers and dark bunkers could withstand the bombing of several heavy bombs, but they could not withstand the repeated bombing of dozens or even dozens of heavy bombs. Amidst the violent explosions, the fortifications and bunkers turned into concrete blocks flying all over the sky, and the Japanese soldiers hiding in them were blown to pieces.

Major General Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Aviation Group, was the air commander of the bombing fleet, and brought one-third of the troops of the Northern Aviation Group, including more than [-] fighter jets and more than [-] bombers. Carry out destructive bombing on the first beachhead of the Japanese army, and secondly, attract the Japanese air force to counterattack and kill the last bit of Japanese air force.

Seeing that the planes bombed for more than 20 minutes, the Japanese positions on the beach were almost in ruins, and the Japanese fighter jets had not yet appeared. Dong Ningxuan was a little anxious. At this time, the airborne radar sent an alarm. He looked down and immediately Happy, then curled his lips in dissatisfaction, and muttered: "There are less than 600 fighters, you little devil is so fucking stingy, but I have prepared more than [-] fighter jets for you!"

"Order, the first echelon and second echelon fighters, the left and right wings outflank the past, encircle and annihilate the Japanese fleet, and the third echelon fighters continue to cover the bombers!" Dong Ningxuan immediately issued an order, more than 400 fighters from the Northern Flying Group, divided into two routes, and headed to 100 A fleet of Japanese fighter jets surrounded the past.

The process of the air battle was not long, that is, twenty minutes, the number of fighter jets was more than two to one, and it took advantage of the advanced airborne radar. Surrounded by the group, after a fierce aerial fight, all the Japanese fighter jets broke their wings, and none of them escaped.

Yamaguchi Castle, in the headquarters of the defense zone in the northwest of Honshu Island, Japan, the phone in the hands of Major General Suzuki slipped to the ground, he turned hoarsely, and said to Lieutenant General Morita: "Commander, I have just received a report and sent The fighter jets are all shattered!"

Lieutenant General Morita and Chief of Staff Takashima were dumbfounded at first, then turned livid and silent. For a while, there was a deathly silence in the combat room.

The bombing of the Japanese beachhead continued. After killing more than 100 Japanese fighter jets, Dong Ningxuan was not satisfied, but he also knew that the little devil who had suffered a loss would not come again, so he issued an order: " The first echelon and the second echelon fighter group should return immediately to replenish fuel and ammunition, and then immediately take off to the theater to take over the mission of the third echelon fighter group and cover the landing force and escort fleet!"

In another two hours or so, the huge troop carrier formation and escort fleet will approach the area off the mountain pass. Dong Ningxuan does not want to cause a break in the air cover force due to his own reasons. Two hours is enough for him. The fleet went back and forth twice!

More than 30 minutes later, the bombing ended, and the independent division fleet began to return in formation, leaving behind a ruined Japanese army position and gunpowder smoke that could not be blown away by the sea breeze. Lieutenant Ono, the commander of the No. [-] Sea Observation Station, climbed out of the air-raid shelter tremblingly. , Looking up at the sky covered in a layer of smoke, I am so lucky that my air-raid shelter is located at the foot of the hill, with thick rocks on it, and it survived such a violent bombing by the Chinese bombers.

However, even though they were hiding in such a strong air-raid shelter, more than a dozen soldiers under Lieutenant Ono were still shocked to death. After confirming that there was no danger, Lieutenant Ono took the remaining dozen soldiers along a huge He walked towards the squadron headquarters at the front line of the beach in the crater, and he still didn't forget to look back at his No. 57 outpost. Unfortunately, there was nothing on that hill anymore.

Lieutenant Ono searched all the way along the bombed position with the complicated mood of the rest of his life. However, he walked for more than an hour, except for the wounded soldiers who were missing arms and legs. Besides, I have never seen a living person who is intact. As for the hidden department where the squadron headquarters is located, it has now become several huge bomb craters overlapping each other, twisted steel bars, and cement blocks scattered around. All of them illustrate the cruel reality that the squadron headquarters no longer exists.

What Lieutenant Ono didn't know was that, under the fierce bombardment by the bombers of the Northern Flying Group, the troops deployed by his division in a strengthened wing of this generation, few officers and soldiers survived, and most of them were wounded. , It can be said that the Japanese army's first beachhead defense line at this moment has been paralyzed.

Lieutenant Ono, who was exhausted and frightened, returned to the air-raid shelter with a dozen of his subordinates who were also listless and ashen. Leaning on the ground still soaked in the smell of gunpowder smoke, panting heavily with his mouth open.

Lieutenant Ono himself had smoke coming out of his throat, and his stomach was uncomfortably hungry. Looking at his half-dead subordinates, he suddenly remembered that in the basement of the outpost, there were still drinking water and food stored. No matter how you say it, most of his team After surviving, he greeted him, but no one moved. He kicked and beat him in a fit of frustration, and finally drove more than a dozen Japanese soldiers to follow him and climb up the hill.

It took almost half an hour for Lieutenant Ono and a dozen of his subordinates to climb up to the ruined outpost. Looking at the piled up ruins, the dozen or so soldiers were in a dilemma, and Lieutenant Ono had to draw out their command sabers. , gestured and cursed viciously, the Japanese soldiers reluctantly came to clean up the ruins.

After working for more than 20 minutes, a small part was cleared. A soldier straightened up and accidentally glanced at the sea surface. In an instant, the soldier's face was smudged like a little ghost, his eyeballs protruded, and it was not human. The son shouted: "Lieutenant! Warship! The warship of the Chinese people!"

Everyone was terrified by his ghostly movement, and then, looking in the direction, Lieutenant Ono saw not only the warships of the Independent Division, but also the countless troop carriers following behind the warships. It clearly appeared on the surface of the sea, and crashed into my field of vision.

"Report to the headquarters immediately, the Chinese have begun to land!" Lieutenant Ono yelled wildly, a dozen Japanese soldiers were scurrying like headless chickens on a ruined hill, reporting, what report?

On the sea, Feng Jiwu stood at the highest level of the command ship, put down the binoculars in his hand, and said to Chief of Staff Zhang Hansheng: "Chief of Staff, order the escort fleet and fire strike ships to immediately cover the Japanese beachhead with artillery fire, leaving no one behind. dead end!"

Hail-like shells were fired from the large-caliber main guns of the warship, and countless shells poured from the fire attack ship. The Japanese beachhead that had just experienced the violent bombing of the Northern Flying Group bombers had not yet cleared the smoke. Once again, they were shrouded in more ferocious artillery fire.

Lieutenant Ono and a dozen of his subordinates were very lucky to escape the air raid, but not the shelling, and were turned into pieces of meat flying all over the sky in a burst of earth-shattering explosions.
