Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1144: Helpless Confrontation (Part 2)

General Ito Genzaburo, the commander-in-chief of Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, is well aware of the importance of time to him. Only by defeating or annihilating the ** Division troops in front of him before the eastern ** Division troops arrive can he possibly complete the occupation of northern Myanmar.

The plan to control the Indochina Peninsula, therefore, even though he knew that the ** division troops blocking him had increased their strength, he still took the initiative to attack...

The first attack on the morning of July 5th can be seen as Ito's tentative attack on the defense line of the troops commanded by Tang Qiusheng, because Ito did not invest a large number of tanks and artillery, and after being violently blocked, the Japanese army did not

Adopt a continuous attack method and continue to storm the ** Division's positions:.

Instead, he immediately retreated. On a mountain peak less than six kilometers north of Wubin, Tang Qiusheng put down the telescope in his hand and said to Chang Feng: "Chang Feng, Ito's attack is tentative. The order

The troops on the first blocking line immediately retreated to the second line of defense. The artillery troops used one-half of their firepower to suppress the Japanese artillery. The rest waited for orders from the headquarters to cover the first line of defense with artillery fire.

I want to make Ito suffer a little."

Chang Feng deeply believed it. It was obvious that the first blocking position was the main force to repel the Japanese attack. All firepower points and position settings would be exposed to the Japanese commander. Next, they would withstand the fierce bombardment of the Japanese army.

, the deputy division commander's move was very clever, which not only reduced the casualties of the troops, but also dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese troops who thought they had occupied the position.

Chang Feng picked up the phone and issued the order. A confidential staff officer hurriedly handed him a telegram. Chang Feng glanced at it quickly and said to Tang Qiusheng: "Deputy division commander, the division commander called. The Degang battle has ended.

The entire Japanese army was wiped out and no one was spared. The Southern Flying Group of the Air Force

Under the command of Commander Le Yiqin, two bomber regiments and five fighter regiments were used to conduct a large-scale air attack on the Japanese troops on the Wubin front line. Please establish ground-air contact immediately and indicate the target at any time. Also, the division commander

We are leading the troops in Degang on their way to Wubin..."

Tang Qiusheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh, the Battle of Degang is over. The aviation unit has joined the battle. In the battle of Wubin, we have to change our approach. Chang Feng, change the order just now. The artillery unit continues to hide and wait, mainly to find out the Japanese army.

The location of the artillery positions and the task of destroying the Japanese artillery and infantry are left to Le Yiqin and the others. Contact Le Yiqin immediately and I want to speak to him."

The air contact radio station was turned on immediately. Tang Qiusheng said: "I am Tang Qiusheng, am I Commander Le Yiqin?" Le Yiqin's high-pitched voice came immediately, "It's me, Deputy Commander Tang, the fleet is flying to

Wubin Airspace, always obey your orders

!" "Okay, Yiqin, my ground observation post will provide you with the general direction of the bombing target. The focus is on the Japanese artillery positions and tank clusters, and the infantry that launches the charge. Your aircraft fleet will be on standby in the airspace first, waiting for me.

instructions."

Le Yiqin was stunned for a moment. I'm sorry, this deputy commander Tang is a person who doesn't follow common sense. He uses the aircraft as infantry. Fortunately, he was prepared when he came. Each aircraft had additional auxiliary fuel tanks. Otherwise, he would have flown back.

Kunming was really a problem, but he still answered loudly: "Yes, the fleet is on standby in the air, waiting for instructions!"

Ito made careful preparations for the second attack. He moved two tank regiments and three heavy artillery brigades to the frontal attack direction. Three attack divisions were already on standby at the front. After making these arrangements, Ito

Said to Chief of Staff Koizumi, "Record and order, Lieutenant General Emura Honan, Commander of the Dispatch Army Aviation Force, to immediately take off all fighter jets and bombers and rush to the Ubin airspace to carry out air strikes on the China forces' positions. Ground observation posts will be for

You have given instructions to bomb the target."

Coincidentally, the commanders of both sides used air power. In terms of flight distance, the flight distance of the Japanese aircraft taking off from Yangon Airport was much closer than that of the Le Yiqin fleet taking off from Kunming Airport.*

The only advantage of the * division's aircraft fleet is that it has added auxiliary fuel tanks, which greatly extends the time in the air. From this point of view, it invisibly shortens the gap in the take-off distance between the two sides.

Ito was going to use all his strength to deliver the most fatal blow to the ** division troops at the Uhama Defense Line. It can be seen that even if all the Japanese troops in Tokugang were destroyed, Ito could not be shaken to break the Uhama Blockade Line.

, the determination to continue marching north to Myitkyina, on the surface, the Wubin line has temporarily calmed down.

But from the air to the ground, a war was brewing to determine the ownership of northern Myanmar. However, Ito did not expect that the ** Division Aviation Unit and the Southern Flying Group would join the Wubin battlefield. For the ** Division Aviation Unit,

All the senior generals of Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force have vague impressions of the infantry units of the ** Division.

In any case, Ito's troops have fought several times with the ground troops of the ** Division, and they are considered to be a draw. At least, Chief of Staff Koizumi thinks so, but the aviation force of the ** Division has never fought in northern Myanmar.

It had appeared on the battlefield. As for whether Tang Qiuli had a plane, most Japanese commanders were still skeptical. After all, they had never seen it and only heard about it.

And Tang Qiuli had long noticed the Japanese air power. When the Japanese aircraft carried out murderous bombing operations against the besieged British in the Libao Grand Canyon, this Japanese air power was the target that Tang Qiuli had to eliminate.

Above, there was calculation in mind but not in intention. This point determined that in this air battle of Ubin, which was regarded as an encounter, the Japanese aviation force would definitely not seek favors. Other book friends are reading:.

The huge fleet of Japanese aircraft took off from Yangon Airport. The ground radar station of the Air Defense Force of the ** Division located in Myitkyina captured the target through the "Sky Eye" radar system and immediately reported this information through the encrypted radio station.

After being given to the Kunming Ground Command Post, the ground commander at Kunming Field Airport immediately became nervous.

He immediately called: "Commander Le, this is the Kunming ground command post. I have received information from the Myitkyina radar station. There are about 340 Japanese aircraft at Yangon Airport, and they are flying towards Ubin. About

In thirty minutes, we will reach the sky above Wubin and draw the commander's attention. Because of the long distance, it is not yet possible to distinguish between bombers and fighter jets."

When Le Yiqin heard the truth, the First and Second Southern Flying Groups of the Air Force had not fought a single battle since they stationed at Kunming, Nanning, and Guangzhou airports. In the words of the pilots, "I feel so idle that my whole body aches."

My hair has grown white," and the supreme commander Le Yiqin said it more vividly.

He took Yang Ketian, the division chief of staff, who was here to handle official business, to the airport, pointed at rows of neatly parked fighter jets and said, "Director Yang, go back and talk to the division commander. Have you seen the machine guns on our planes?"

, the muzzles of the guns are rusty, and if we stay here any longer, our pilots’ bones will also be rusty.”

"At any rate, arrange some tasks for our aviation unit. Watching the ground troops fighting in full swing makes us restless." Yang Ketian asked puzzledly: "Commander Le, why don't you ask the division commander in person for a fight?" Le Yi

Qin's face changed drastically, and she quickly waved her hand and said: "Director Yang, don't mention this, just pretend I didn't say anything. Last time, I sent two telegrams to ask for a fight. No, the division commander just asked me to go to the maintenance brigade.

Clean the plane."

Now, the opportunity finally came, and the division commander really guessed it. They were more than 300 Japanese planes. What a piece of fat. He didn't have enough troops in his hands. He immediately called the Nanning ground command post.

"I am Commander Le Yiqin. I am ordering all the fighter jets of the Second Flying Group on standby at Nanning Airport to add auxiliary fuel tanks and fly to the Ubin airspace in northern Myanmar. I want to convey my words to all the pilots, brothers, fat guys.

When it reaches your mouth, come and eat it!"

All the ground personnel of the aviation force, who could hear Le Yiqin's words, almost fainted. God, did anyone mobilize before the war like this? I'm sorry, the Japanese army has more than 300 aircraft, under your command, Commander Le

There was a piece of oily fat in his eyes. After giving the order to the Second Flying Group, Le Yiqin shouted again: "The fighter group will climb up immediately. The bomber group has selected the target. The little devils are coming and the fighter planes are coming. Hurry up!"

If you want to retreat quickly, you must ensure the effectiveness of the bombing:.”

At this moment, I received a call from Tang Qiusheng, "Yiqin, the Japanese military planes are flying towards Wubin. Please make sure that if the bombers are in danger, you can cancel the air raid mission." Le Yiqin finally got it.

He would give up the opportunity to fight. Besides, the follow-up reinforcements will arrive soon, and he will not be able to part with the fat meat.

He replied: "Please rest assured, deputy commander, the aviation force has made full preparations. I will make dumplings for the Little Japanese plane over Wubin." Tang Qiusheng laughed rarely, "Okay, I will be on the ground

, watching you fight in the air!"

Le Yiqin is by no means foolhardy. He absolutely believes that the Japanese aircraft fleet has not discovered his position so far. Although the airborne radar has not detected the Japanese aircraft, with his many years of rich experience in air combat, he can instinctively feel

, the Japanese aircraft group did not make any move to change its course. Subsequently, the Myitkyina radar station confirmed his judgment that the Japanese aircraft group's course remained unchanged.

Le Yiqin is even more confident. Now, the five fighter flight groups in the northern airspace of Myanmar have 284 fighter jets. Together with the seven fighter groups of the Second Flight Group that are arriving, the number is 700.

There are many fighter jets, almost double the number of Japanese aircraft. It is not a big lie to say that the dumplings of Japanese military aircraft are included.

In the cemetery, countless small black dots appeared on the radar screen in front of Le Yiqin. Then, the black dots gradually became clearer. From the size and position of the black dots, one could already tell whether it was a fighter jet or a bomber. Le Yiqin sneered,

"The little devil's fleet is still flying in a normal attitude, and there is no preparation at all.

Le Yiqin immediately issued a battle order: "Attention fighter group, prepare to attack. When the bomber group is entangled by the Little Japanese fighter jets, they immediately carry out bombing, and then quickly leave the battlefield and return home."
