Age of Rebirth

Chapter 830 Encirclement in the Air

After leaving Haishanwei, more than 100 warships of the Soviet Pacific Fleet, the fleet under the control of Tang Qiuquan, the head of the special warfare detachment of the Independent Division, sailed thrillingly for three days in the white waves of the Pacific Ocean.

The air escort of the Air Force of the Independent Division stunned the Soviet sailors. They could not understand how the fighter jets that took off from the shore could stay in the air for such a long time. The Soviet carrier-based aircraft pilots became confused, and felt that they might have overestimated their own weight. Without them, the Chinese could still complete the maritime missions. All the high-spirited Soviet carrier-based aircraft pilots became humble in their attitudes. Not a lot.

Qiu Quan saw it, and sneered secretly. Since boarding the ship, these guys have taken the attitude of watching the fun. Compared with other members of the fleet, they are much more arrogant. On the afternoon of the third day, the fleet has sailed to the vicinity of the Ozaki Islands , In another day and a half, it will enter the Korean Strait, which is also the most dangerous moment for the fleet.

Qiu Quan was on the deck of the aircraft carrier, his eyes seemed to be looking through the Korean Strait, and he saw the hearts of the Communists. A communications officer ran over: "Report to the detachment leader, an urgent message from the commander of the escort fighter group," Qiu Quan said. I took it over and saw it was an urgent telegram, "Captain Tang, I am alerting the aircraft outside the fleet. I found that there are aircraft flying from the direction of Honshu Island. The number is unknown. They are approaching the sea area where the fleet is located. Please send the fleet The order to enter the combat state, my escort fleet is responsible for intercepting." [

Looking up at the blue sky, Qiu Quan realized that what was supposed to come had finally come. He turned and walked towards the command room, and the Soviet captain quickly followed.

Commanding the fleet to fight, Qiu Quan is a complete layman, so he can't be sloppy at all. Although after a few days of hard work, he can only understand the surface. He made a bold decision to grant the command of the fleet, and he got along very well with himself. Colonel Magotlowski, captain of the aircraft carrier.

Qiu Quan said: "Your Excellency, Colonel, I now grant you the authority to command the fleet. I believe that with your experience and ability, you are fully capable of this task. Go ahead and do it boldly. Don't forget, this is a sincere entrustment from a friend." Immediately pass on Qiuquan's words intact.

After listening to the translation, the colonel pointed to his chest in disbelief. There were doubts and incomprehensions in his blue-gray eyes. You must know that he is still a prisoner of war now, but he has just changed from a Japanese prisoner to a prisoner of war. As a captive of the Chinese, facing the sudden command, he was a little at a loss and found it difficult to adapt to this change.

Qiuquan nodded affirmatively. Only doing this is the most appropriate way. After receiving the affirmation, Magotrovsky suddenly became excited, and his eyes seemed to be covered with tears. After a solemn military salute, he walked to the On the podium, at this moment, Qiu Quan saw a kind of temperament from the back of the Soviet soldier, the kind of confidence that everything is under control.

Colonel Magotrovsky's orders were conveyed one after another, and the translator translated every word he said to Qiuquan. Qiuquan was also worried that the soldiers on other warships did not know the situation here, and specially made himself He finally emphasized: "All the members of the special warfare detachment must not interfere with the normal command of the captains. It is necessary to tell your Soviet friends around you that we are on the same ship and the common enemy is *** people's plane."

Following the order of the command ship, all surface ships immediately dispersed in battle formation, and the stern siren sounded on each warship. The well-trained Soviet sailors seemed to have forgotten their identity as prisoners of war, and rushed to each warship. Combat positions, skilled movements, dazzled the special forces team members, and the so-called "interlaced lines are like mountains", that's what it means.

The fleet was ready for battle, and Colonel Magotlovsky saluted Qiu Quan: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, the fleet is ready for combat, please give me instructions!" Qiu Quan couldn't laugh or cry after hearing this. Is there any instruction, or else, can you take the risk of letting you command these warships that have come so hard?

Qiuquan returned the salute, and then asked: "Your Excellency, Colonel, what should we do next?" His tone was somewhat unnatural. With Qiuquan's character, this was the only time he didn't know which leg to step on first. Margotello Fowski replied respectfully: "Inform the escort fleet about the readiness of our fleet, and then enter the air defense state."

Qiu Quan smiled and said: "Your Excellency, Colonel, follow your command. I completely trust you. There is no need to ask for instructions. I will not interfere with your command. Do it at ease!" Magotrowski The colonel gave the Chinese general a complicated look, and put all his energy on commanding the fleet.

The fleet is like a beast baring its sharp claws, waiting for the arrival of this crazy plane. Today, the escort fighter formation is commanded by Liu Cuigang, the deputy commander of the independent aviation division. I am also worried about how the Tang detachment captains are laymen, how can they command the fleet to fight.

It seems that all air battles must be undertaken by the escort fleet independently. Liu Cuigang circled the fighter planes and found that the current formation of the fleet is definitely suitable for air battles. Although he doesn't know how to command the fleet to fight, he can see the general , immediately relieved, and secretly exclaimed: "Captain Tang is really amazing, even this can do it."

The fleet was fully prepared, and Liu Cuigang immediately ordered: "The first, third, fifth, sixth, and seventh brigades should climb up immediately and enter a favorable attack position. The rest of the brigades are responsible for protecting the fleet." After the order was issued, a joystick , the fighter jets soared into the sky, followed by 64 fighter jets.

The Japanese aircraft that came this time took off from the Naval Air Force Airport near Kyoto on Honshu Island. After receiving the order from the Minister of the Navy Mitsumasa Minai, all the Japanese Naval Air Force bases from the Japanese Islands to the Korean Peninsula were tense. Wake up, the captured Soviet Pacific Fleet can escape?It's incredible.

What worries these naval aviation commanders is that the two Soviet aircraft carriers carry more than 160 carrier-based aircraft. This is an air power that cannot be underestimated. There are more than 380 aircraft, of which there are only more than 190 fighter jets, and the others are bombers, dive torpedo aircraft, anti-submarine aircraft, transport aircraft, etc.

The navy's main aircraft fleet follows several fleets and is wandering in the Pacific Ocean. With these winged guys in their hands, it is absolutely impossible for them to carry out the task of sinking more than 100 warships. The sea area is carefully searched, and the number of aircraft is even more stretched.

But Minister of the Navy’s order, if you don’t execute the order, you will definitely seek your own death. As the largest base of the navy in the country, Kyoto Airport, you have to take off 36 fighter jets and [-] anti-submarine patrol planes to search first. Return, and then organize a large fleet to bomb.

This formation of Japanese naval planes carrying out the search mission flew towards the direction of the Korean Strait as if by luck. They originally planned to search from the direction of the Korean Strait to the direction of Haishanwei. Hitting the direction of the fleet, an air battle is inevitable.

Major Xiuyan Zhenzhao, who was in charge of avant-garde reconnaissance, led the five "Zero" fighter jets of the squadron through a thick cloud layer, and the deep blue sea surface of the Pacific Ocean appeared in front of him. He searched the surroundings carefully, and suddenly Trembling all over, on the sea, a huge fleet was sailing towards the Korean Strait with the wind and waves. [

"I won the jackpot", Xiuyan Zhenzhao murmured to himself, and immediately reported what he saw to the formation commander. Commander Zhongxin Dazuo is an extremely belligerent guy. Major, "Pay attention to whether there is an aircraft carrier-based aircraft taking off," while ordering the formation to quickly gather in this airspace.

Shao Zuo Xiuyan Zhenzhao saw it. There were more than [-] planes in the sky above the fleet. Having found himself, he should come to fight, there is no reason to ignore him, full of doubts, he reported the situation he observed to the commander Zhongxin.

When Colonel CITIC heard this, his head turned violently. His own fleet of nearly fifty fighter jets had the upper hand in terms of numbers against more than twenty aircraft. This opportunity should not be missed. You can start the fight first, and then notify the base of the aircraft to come to support. The credit is none other than myself.

If he can sink the fleeing Soviet aircraft carrier, he will be famous in the aviation industry of the empire, "Order, form all fighter jets, shoot down enemy fighter jets immediately, all anti-submarine patrol aircraft, attack enemy aircraft carriers, air warriors of the empire, Attack!" After speaking, the first one rushed up.

Commander CITIC is also crazy enough. Using anti-submarine patrol planes to attack surface ships is unheard of in the combat history of the air forces of various countries. There are no anti-submarine patrol planes that carry aviation bombs or torpedoes. I am afraid that they can only use deep-water bombs to deal with submarines. The probability of sinking a surface ship is almost zero, and it is not a thing for this kind of work at all.

Of course, Colonel CITIC did not forget to report the discovery to the base. After receiving the report, the Kyoto base immediately jumped up and down and got busy. The ground crew was busy loading bombs for the bombers and attaching torpedoes for the torpedo bombers. There was a sound over the airport, and a team of Japanese Naval Air Force pilots rushed to the plane. A red signal was raised, and Japanese planes rushed into the sky one after another.

At the same time, the Japanese naval aviation base stationed near Daegu on the Korean Peninsula also received a notification from the Kyoto base, and all combat aircraft took off at the same time.

The Japanese naval aviation combat formation, which took off from the north and the south, took off a total of more than 320 combat aircraft of various types, like a vice, and slammed towards the fleet.
