Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1,174 The Japanese Ambush (1)

In order to prepare for Tang Qiuli's upcoming flight to Manila, Major General Le Yiqin, commander of the ** Division's aviation force and commander of the Southern Flying Group, flew from Nanning to Kunming to arrange air escort for Tang Qiuli and his party to Manila.

The division commander's special plane took off from Nanning and crossed the South China Sea, covering a distance of nearly 1,400 to 500 kilometers. There was no place to land for refueling along the way. The division's existing aircraft, except for a few long-range bombers from the Soviet Union,

Except for modified special planes, all fighter jets, including German fighter jets, have insufficient endurance.

Adding auxiliary fuel tanks to fighter jets can solve this problem, but that refers to normal flight. The division commander's trip to Manila has been highly hyped and everyone knows it. Although it is not clear which day it is, it involves several countries. The Investigation Office can guarantee that,

Japanese spies could not get the accurate time. Who can guarantee that the Japanese would not learn from other channels that the meeting was held on September 15th.

In other words, from now until September 14th, any day will be an opportunity for the Japanese to ambush on the way. Moreover, the flight route will pass through the most important field airport of Japan's Southeast Asian Expeditionary Force aviation, Hainan Island.

Yulin Airport, the Japanese will never miss this good opportunity.

With intuition, Le Yiqin could feel the sound of the Japanese sharpening their knives. Fighters with additional auxiliary fuel tanks carry more than double the fuel. If there is an air battle midway, the auxiliary fuel tanks can only be discarded. Otherwise, the speed and maneuverability will be affected.

Sexuality can only become a living target for Japanese fighter jets. In this case, the problem will become serious. If we win an air battle, it will not be a big problem for the aviation force.

But then, there is nothing we can do if we continue to escort. After the air battle, the fighter jets that have exhausted their fuel cannot fall on the sea. Who will protect the safety of the division commander's plane? As for taking a boat and traveling by sea, Le Yiqin almost spits.

In the face of the officer who made this suggestion, why are you still my soldier? Are you out of your mind?

The First and Third Fleets of the Japanese Navy have been swimming in the South China Sea all year round. If the division commander is allowed to sail on the vast sea, it would be better to send the division commander directly to the gunpoint of the Japanese. The Japanese can attack them at any time.

, launching an attack on the division commander's ship at any place, for the division commander, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

The sea route was not possible, and the air escort of the fighter group involved many difficult-to-solve problems. Le Yiqin did not worry to death, but instead cursed the Americans, "What the hell are you going to have a meeting in this bullshit Manila? You guys are so stupid."

You can't fly to Kunming or Nanning, and the little devils won't hit you."

After scolding, I was vented, but there was still no way to solve the problem. Even if I tried to sneak away, the little devil must be on the route to Manila. He stared at his blood-red eyes every day, watching the division commander's special plane appear, thinking

If you want to see if you have the opportunity to kill the number one figure in the army and eradicate this powerful enemy, the little devil will never let go of such an opportunity.

There was no other way. Le Yiqin had no choice but to hang his head and go to Tang Qiuli. His original intention was to advise the division commander that the road to Manila was full of dangers. The aviation unit was really not sure that the safety of the division commander could be guaranteed. Could the division commander not

Go or send someone there.

When he saw Tang Qiuli and told him what he meant, Tang Qiuli smiled and said, "It's so new. There is something our Commander Leda can't do? He has more than a thousand winged soldiers.

, there are more than a thousand fighter planes of all kinds, how can they not protect the safety of me, Tang Qiuli? Are you asking me to break my trust with the Americans, break my trust with the people across the country, and be a person who breaks my word?"

Le Yiqin was so embarrassed that she almost cried. She smiled bitterly and said: "Commander, please don't make fun of me. I'm almost worried to death. I've tried every method and I'm not sure at all. The aviation force still has the same opinion. Please

You cancel this meeting, or send a representative to attend. Our aviation force does not want to be a sinner through the ages! If the safety of the division commander cannot be guaranteed, if you strongly urge you to attend the meeting, I, Le Yiqin, will be the first to refuse! Even if you withdraw

This is also my duty!"

Le Yiqin was emotional as he spoke, and his voice was a little choked. Tang Qiuli put away his smile and was very moved in his heart. Le Yiqin was a guy who refused to admit defeat. It was not easy for him to say these words. He handed

He gave Le Yiqin a cigarette and said: "Yiqin, you, you are only looking at the planes on land, why didn't you think that we also have an aircraft carrier!"

Le Yiqin's eyes flashed suddenly, she slapped her head hard, jumped up suddenly, gave a military salute, and shouted: "Thank you, Commander, for the reminder. This time, I can not only guarantee the Commander's special flight"

I will contact you immediately and fly to Qingdao in person to meet with Commander Tang of the Navy to agree on a specific action plan, and then submit it to you for approval!"

When Tang Qiuli returned to his residence, it was the first time that the lights in Kunming were on. He opened the door of the living room and was suddenly stunned. He saw a charming female officer with her hands behind her back, tilting her head and looking at him in a lively manner.

Who else could Mei Xue, who is recovering from her injuries in Shanghai, be?

Tang Qiuli couldn't suppress the longing in his heart. He rushed up, put his arms around Mei Xue's slender waist, and picked her up. Shan Hu, who was following behind him, quickly said to the special guards: "We are on guard outside, no one is allowed to disturb the teacher."

," After saying that, he gently closed the door with a smile. In his heart, he couldn't help but think of his lover Ouyang Lan who was far away in Dingbian.

Tang Qiuli held Mei Xue's pretty face, which was slightly thin, and carefully looked at his wife's big black and white eyes. Under her husband's burning gaze, a red cloud flew up on Mei Xue's face, making her look even more shy and cute. She had been married for two years.

After many years, my wife is still as shy as a little girl.

"Xue'er, aren't you recuperating in Shanghai? Why did you come to Kunming? By the way, are your injuries healed? You must not have escaped privately, right?" Tang Qiuli lovingly hugged his wife and sat by the bed,

He asked half-jokingly with concern.

Mei Xue gave him a charming look and said coquettishly: "It's been a few months and I'm fine a long time ago. If you don't believe it, I'll give you the doctor's certificate. Besides, your regiment commander named Jiang Yanming

, I come to the hospital once a day, and if the injury is not healed, he won’t be able to release me from the hospital. Why did I blame him for this, saying it was your order? Huh, look at me like a prisoner!"

Tang Qiuli laughed "hehe" and asked: "Why did you come to Kunming all of a sudden?" Mei Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "I learned from the newspaper that you were going to Manila for a meeting. You can't stay in the hospital anymore.

If you can't go down, you have to have someone to take care of you. I don't trust you to go alone, so I found Jiang Yanming. When he heard this, he strongly agreed. He was afraid that it would be too late, so he specially sent a plane to take you there.

I went to Kunming."

To be honest, Tang Qiuli had not originally planned to let Mei Xue accompany him. There might be many dangers along the way. He was reluctant to let his wife take risks with him, but Mei Xue came unexpectedly and met her. Tang Qiuli just

He truly felt that he couldn't live without his wife. A long absence was better than a newlywed. On this night, the endless love and affection, and the longing for each other over the past few months, all turned into surging passion.

On the morning of September 13th, Le Yiqin planned a military operation against the Japanese aerial ambush conspiracy. The purpose was also to verify his guess. Twenty-eight fighter jets, guarding a large special plane, flew in the boundless clear sky.

, under the wings of the aircraft, there is the vast expanse of blue waves of the South China Sea, the blue sky and the blue water complement each other, the water and sky are the same color, it is almost impossible to tell which is the sky and which is the sea.

The fleet flew through the airspace of Hainan Island, and the Japanese Yulin base in Hainan was surprisingly quiet. It seemed that it was broad daylight. All the Japanese air observation posts seemed to have collectively gone blind. Le Yiqin, who was flying in the position of leading the aircraft, had a trace on the corner of his mouth.

Sneered, "This means there is no three hundred taels of silver here. The little devil is pretending to be deaf and mute, which further proves that they have a conspiracy."

Le Yiqin looked around at the sky that was as pure as a mirror, "Attention, fleet, carefully observe the surrounding airspace to prevent sneak attacks by Japanese fighter jets. Second echelon, maintain flight altitude and do not expose the target."

Just yesterday, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, Commander of the Naval Fleet of the ** Division, flew from Qingdao Naval Base to Kunming. Also arriving on the same plane were the heads of various functional departments of the fleet, which were filled with three transport aircraft. It can be seen that

Qiuquan moved almost half of the Qingdao Naval Base's possessions to Kunming, and the fighter pilot leading the flight had a high status, Le Yiqin, the major general commander of the ** Division Aviation Force.

Le Yiqin didn't want to wait another minute. After leaving Tang Qiu's office, she rushed to the airport and flew to the Qingdao Naval Base in person. After meeting Tang Qiuquan, she told him everything and Qiuquan was also anxious.

Okay, isn't this a joke on Xiaoqiu's life and safety? Gather a large group of relevant department personnel and move them to Kunming.

Then, an order was issued: "The aircraft carrier fleet will set off immediately and stand by in the central line of the South China Sea. The fleet is commanded by the first deputy commander, Major General Petrovsky, the former Soviet Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier captain. He has complete trust in Qiuquan's work.

It is very safe. The location where the fleet patrols is exactly at the edge of the maximum combat radius of the land-based aviation force, and it is also the midway point to Manila.

The plan he and Le Yiqin made to lure the snake out of its hole was to counter the aerial ambush of Japanese aircraft. There was no Tang Qiuli in that special plane. At this time, Tang Qiuli was still leisurely in Kunming with Mei Xue.

, bathing in the sunshine of early autumn and enjoying the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake.

Just in front of Le Yiqin's fleet, Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force Air Force Hainan Yulin Base, Colonel Hideki Harukawa, commander of the 143rd Fighter Wing, was hovering with fifty-eight "Zero" fighter jets from his wing.

Thousands of meters high in the sky, he looked like a vicious wolf, with his blood-red eyes fixed on the north, ready to pounce and bite him at any moment.
