Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1145: Helpless Confrontation (Part 2)

In the air battles of that period, the outcome depended to a large extent on which side discovered the opponent first. Before radar appeared, or was still in its infancy, the ** Division's aviation units were already deploying combat aircraft in batches.

On it, an improved version of the "Sky Eye" radar is installed, a radar system suitable for air combat,...

However, due to cost and technical reasons, this kind of radar is definitely not as capable as later generations of being able to detect an opponent hundreds of kilometers away. Moreover, not every aircraft of the ** Division's aviation unit has this capability.

Such radars are all installed, but they are only installed on the planes of commanders above the level of commander of the fighter flight regiment. This is already the limit of the Ordnance Bureau of Dingbian Special Economic Zone.

Therefore, Le Yiqin's airborne radar found the opponent before the Japanese aircraft, which gave him a great advantage. The number of fighter jets he currently has in the combat airspace is less than that of the Japanese fighter jets. Le Yiqin does not think this is a danger.

One thing is done in the light and the other is in the dark. Air raids are his specialty.

Le Yiqin commanded the fighter group to quickly climb to altitude, and after occupying a favorable position, they flew towards the Japanese aircraft group. Ito was on the ground, using binoculars to look at the increasingly clear Japanese Air Force aircraft group. Under the wings, there was a bright red plaster flag logo, which was particularly eye-catching.

Eye-catching, a sense of pride arose in his heart, proud of the strength of the Japanese Empire's military force.

"To the west, when our aerial eagle launches an air attack on the ** Division troops, our ground artillery must bombard the ** Division troops positions at the same time. The excellent air-ground firepower coordination will give Tang Qiuli's troops

With maximum destruction, this battle will definitely be a river of blood," Ito said to Chief of Staff Koizumi.

"Yiqin, we can already see the shadow of the Japanese aircraft above our position. How are you prepared?" Tang Qiusheng stared at the increasingly clear Japanese aircraft and said to Le Yiqin, "Deputy division commander,

Our fighter group has arrived in the combat airspace, and the Japs' plane is right under our noses. I'm going to start attacking right away!" Le Yiqin's voice was so loud that it shook our ears.

Ito put down his telescope and said to Chief of Staff Koizumi: "Order the artillery to start bombardment immediately and indicate the bombing targets for the aviation group. Let's start!" At the same time, Le Yiqin ordered: "The first fighter group, attack the Japanese bomber group.

The second to fifth regiments followed me and attacked the fighter planes of the little Japanese. Remember, the movements must be fierce. The first round of attack must disrupt the formation of the little Japanese."

At this time, the Japanese bomber group had entered the bombing channel. With a harsh roar, it swooped down from high altitude. The Japanese escort fighter group began to climb. It was the best time to attack. Le Yiqin just said one sentence

, "All start attacking!" As soon as the nose of the aircraft was pressed, the plane swooped down from an altitude of several thousand meters like a falcon.

Ito and Chief of Staff Koizumi, along with a group of senior staff officers, watched the air-ground coordinated offensive battle with great interest. Suddenly, a senior staff officer loudly exclaimed, "Commander-in-Chief, the Chinese plane is above our heads!"

Aren't you talking nonsense? The plane is not above your head but also below your feet? You must be scared out of your wits.

When Ito looked up, his jaw almost dropped in surprise. Above his fleet, hundreds of small black dots quickly grew in size before his eyes and turned into a group of fighter planes roaring down. "Quickly, notify the air force fleet commander Nakano."

"Major General, we found a military aircraft above them," Ito reacted and gave the order angrily.

No matter how quick Ito's reaction was, it was not as fast as a fighter jet that was descending at high speed. At first glance, Le Yiqin stared at a unique fighter jet, which was at the leading position of the Japanese fighter group. On the fuselage, painted different from

The signs of other Japanese fighter jets, based on feeling, Le Yiqin determined were those of the air commander of the Japanese fleet.

"Wingman cover," Le Yiqin's fighter plane shot towards Nakano's plane like an arrow off the string. Nakano received a warning from the ground liaison post. He couldn't believe it. The sky was clear and cloudless, and there was a Chinese plane.

You can't find it in the air. Looking around, you can see all the planes under your command. How can there be any sign of a Chinese plane?

It’s not his fault. Le Yiqin’s fighter jet group was in the sky far above the Japanese aircraft group. “General, evade immediately, you are being attacked by a Chinese ambush!” Just as Ono was looking around, there was suddenly a message in the earphones.

The hair on Nakano's body stood up when his wingman hurriedly warned, "Honey?"

Nakano, who is also an experienced bird in the air, also has superhuman intuition. With a single joystick, the plane floated out diagonally. His movements were skillful and neat, and he was obviously well-trained. All of this happened in just over a minute.

It only took less than a minute from when the center fielder received the ground warning to when he took evasive action.

Le Yiqin was delighted. This little devil was really not lazy. He made an emergency escape before he noticed him. The inexperienced pilot was really good at flying into the air. Two Japanese fighter jets rushed towards him like they were desperate, intending to stop Le Yiqin.

Yiqin continued to attack, covering Le Yiqin's wingman, and immediately came up to meet him. The four fighter jets immediately started fighting.

Nakano's plane had just leveled off, and now he saw clearly that there were more than 200 Chinese planes attacking his fleet. The air battle was divided into two battlefields, one was a fight between fighters, and the other was a fight between fighters against bombers.

Nakano saw with his own eyes that more than a dozen Dainippon Air Force bombers were either blown into pieces in the air, or plummeted to the ground with thick black smoke emitting from their fuselages:.

Nakano was furious. He was absolutely confident in his flying skills. With his actions just now, any experienced pilot would be left behind by him. After realizing that he was out of danger, Nakano did not bother to look for the Chinese pilots who posed a threat to him.

He immediately exercised his duties as a commander and took in the entire air combat situation with a single glance.

"A group of idiots, their own fighter group, only cares about fighting with China's fighter jets, leaving the bomber group behind, like a group of clumsy bald-tailed chickens, becoming a living target for China's pilots," Nakano was about to give the order when there was an inexplicable sound.

Fear, like electric current, instantly traveled through his body.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of Le Yiqin's mouth, and her finger pressed on the firing button of the cannon. The fuselage trembled slightly, and three tongues of flames flew directly towards Nakano's plane. After passing by the Dingbian Special Economic Zone Aircraft Repair Factory, the modified engine,

The performance is not something to be boasted about. In the past, relying on the flexibility of the "Zero" fighter piloted by Nakano, Le Yiqin would have had to work hard not to lose track.

Tongues of flame instantly penetrated the fuselage of Nakano's plane. It was not machine gun bullets, but machine gun shells. For the "Zero" aircraft that sacrificed the aircraft's own protection in pursuit of high speed and flexibility, two machine gun shells could make this aircraft

This kind of plane disintegrated in the air, not to mention that Le Yiqin fired three guns at once.

A cloud of black smoke exploded in the sky. The Japanese Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force aviation unit and the commander of the air fleet, Major General Nakano, did not even see clearly the appearance of the Chinese aircraft that attacked them. They turned into a wisp of smoke over northern Myanmar. Le Yi

Qin moved the joystick, and the fighter plane climbed up instantly. A Japanese fighter jet passed under the belly of the plane, followed closely by two Japanese Air Force fighter jets.

Le Yiqin shook his head helplessly, "These guys are really talented when they are able to form a two-on-one situation even though their own aircraft are at a disadvantage." As soon as the air battle began, the air commander of the Japanese fleet was beaten by Le Yiqin.

Qin Zhan fell from his horse, and the advantage of discovering the enemy first was fully demonstrated. Before the Japanese bombers had time to drop a bomb, they were beaten by Chinese fighter jets that were like hungry tigers. They fled in all directions, and more than twenty of them were shot down.

After Le Yiqin climbed to a certain height, he immediately reviewed the air combat situation. The Japanese bomber group had been beaten and fled. The fighter group relied on its numerical advantage to fight desperately with its own fighter jets. On the ground, the Japanese positions

Behind, a large piece of light blue smoke rises. There is no doubt that it is the Japanese artillery position.

"Reporting to the commander, the fighter group of the Second Flying Group will arrive at the air combat area in five minutes." Le Yiqin was overjoyed, she arrived so quickly, "You are divided into two groups, four regiments to copy the little devils

On the rear route, the three regiments immediately joined the air battle and ordered the bomber group to immediately bomb the Japanese artillery positions and tank groups according to the original plan."

When the reinforcements arrived, Le Yiqin could confidently and boldly join the bomber group. A fierce aerial battle began immediately. Facing the Chinese fighter group that far exceeded his own, the acting commander of the Japanese air group immediately issued an order to return. Who

He is not a fool. If he continues to entangle himself, the air power of the dispatched army will have to be handed over to Wubin.

However, he has not forgotten to order the fighter group to cover the return of the bomber group. If these big-bellied and clumsy bombers are left alone, the commander, Lieutenant General Nakamura, can chop himself alive with a sword. As the Japanese aircraft group withdraws

, the fighter jets from both sides rolled and entangled, and the air battle gradually moved away from the sky above Wubin.

Ito's face was livid and his eyes were on fire. The air battle just now was a huge blow to him, but the combat order had been issued. Even if it were to stop immediately, with hundreds of thousands of troops, it would not be an easy task. Without the aviation force, the army could still win the battle.

Therefore, although Ito was heartbroken about the losses suffered by the aviation force, he still carried out the attack on the Japanese division's positions according to the original plan.

The Japanese artillery's overwhelming artillery fire hit the first line of the Wubin defense line of the Japanese Army. Bricks and tiles were flying, dust was flying, gunpowder smoke was filled, and flames were everywhere. All the surface buildings were reduced to ashes under the fierce artillery fire.

pile waste

Ito used two heavy artillery regiments, an artillery brigade, and more than 600 artillery pieces to bombard an area that was no more than ten kilometers wide in front and more than twenty kilometers deep. The density and intensity of the artillery fire could not be measured.

Just imagine.

As the bombardment progressed, Ito's mood gradually improved as he watched the Japanese division's position shrouded in steel and flames. Suddenly, Chief of Staff Koizumi exclaimed: "The plane is a Chinese plane!"
