Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1,175 Japanese Ambush (2)

To be fair, Colonel Harukawa Hideki did not think that this kind of airspace was a good place for an ambush at all. The sky was clear and cloudless, and there were not even a few clouds to hide in. A wing of fighter jets was unobstructed.

Hovering in the sky, unless the Chinese pilot is blind, he can be seen from a long distance away. If Colonel Qingchuan were to define it himself, it would be better to call it a surprise attack, rather than an ambush.

The 143rd Fighter Wing, which had just been transferred from the Kwantung Army's Third Flying Group to the Empire's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force Air Force, was considered an outsider. Before that, they had no idea about the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division, but that didn't mean that

Colonel Qingchuan can despise this

Air power, in Manchuria, the Kwantung Army Air Force suffered all the losses of the Northern Flying Group of the ** Division. Colonel Yoshio Murakami, the colonel's close friend and commander of the 142nd Fighter Wing of the Kwantung Army Air Force, was transferred to

Before going south, he lost his life at the hands of Chinese pilots.

Colonel Qingchuan vowed to avenge his best friend, but he suddenly received an order. From Manchuria, where the autumn cold was already approaching, to the still unbearably hot Southeast Asia. Regarding his air opponents in the south, Colonel Qingchuan did not understand the specific situation and just simply

After listening to the introduction of the air force intelligence officer, Major General Le Yiqin, the commander of the ** Division's flying force in the south, was the boss and partner of Liu Cuigang, whom he hated in the north. Based on this alone, Colonel Qingchuan had to double his efforts.

Be cautious and careful.

Therefore, Qingchuan was quite dissatisfied with the order given by Lieutenant General Nomura, commander of the aviation force, to take off for combat within two days of his unit arriving at the Yulin base on Hainan Island. Could it be that the aviation force of the Imperial Southeast Asia Expedition Army did not

Are there other flying units? You should give yourself time to become familiar with the airspace here instead of rushing into battle.

One thing Qingchuan didn't know yet was that his fighter wing was not the only Japanese flying force to ambush Tang Qiuli's special plane. Taking Hainan Island as the example, Lieutenant General Nomura used five fighter wings to attack Kunming.

Five ambush points were set up on the route to Manila, intercepting and killing each other step by step, and casting nets layer by layer, making the fighter group escorting Tang Qiuli exhausted.

An ambush point, China's escort fighter jets can break through, then, what's next? I'm afraid in the end, no matter how hard it is, the escort fighter jets can be completely consumed, leaving the unarmed Tang Qiuli's special plane.

The only thing left was to be slaughtered by the imperial army. Such a vicious plan was formulated after Ito Yanzaburo convened an extremely confidential military meeting.

In order to implement this plan, Lieutenant General Nomura, commander of the aviation force of the Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, dispatched almost all the fighter combat units on hand. For some unknown reason, Nomura asked the newly transferred Qingchuan Wing to serve as the first wave.

For this ambush mission, originally, in order to make the plan more perfect and without loopholes, we could also cooperate with the Navy's Third Fleet, which was swimming in the waters near the Zhongsha Islands.

The second half of the interception was completed by the naval aviation. In this way, Nomura could concentrate his forces to completely defeat this abominable China devil at the first ambush point with a force far exceeding that of Tang Qiuli's escort aircraft group.

In the vast waves of the South China Sea, as soon as the suggestion was put forward, Commander Ito's head shook like a rattle, and he disagreed with it a hundred times.

Moreover, he said unswervingly: "Nomura-kun, let me remind you that we are the Imperial Army. Does such a flawless ambush plan still require the involvement of the Navy guys? Don't we, the Army Air Corps,

**Complete this feat?”

Two questions came to mind, and Nomura was speechless for a while. In fact, Nomura understood that Commander Ito was petty and was afraid of the navy competing for credit. At the same time, it was also the empire's long-standing habit of fighting between the army and the navy that was causing trouble. Nomura, on the other hand, was

He didn't take it seriously. In his heart, he was not very interested in the war between the army and the navy.

On the other hand, I have a sense of identity with naval aviation. In fact, this involves a long-simmering dream of Japan's aviation power. The empire has an army and a navy, and the power of aviation has rapidly risen to the top of the air force, which has been promoting the formation of a separate aviation force.

, becoming an air force alongside the army and navy, instead of being split into two parts and dependent on the army and navy as it is now. Nomura himself is an active responder and practitioner of this dream.

After Nomura went over these issues in his mind at the Yulin Aircraft Base on Hainan Island, he couldn't help but think that it was a great regret not to allow the naval aviation force to participate in the ambush of Tang Qiuli. He picked up the microphone and said,

"Colonel Qingchuan, what's going on?" "I'm reporting to you, Commander, that Tang Qiuli's special plane has not been found yet," Qingchuan replied seemingly in a low mood.

Nomura said: "Qingchuan-kun, wait patiently. The Yulin ground observation post reported that just ten minutes ago, a Chinese aircraft group flew through the monitored airspace. Among them, there was a large aircraft. It is expected that you will be there in another twenty minutes."

The attack can begin." "Good news, Commander, the Qingchuan Regiment will definitely write a legend for the Imperial Army Air Force," Qingchuan's tone was obviously excited, like a wolf smelling blood.

of.

Nomura put down the microphone and couldn't help but sigh. To put it bluntly, this method of ambushing and biting by mad dogs was also a helpless move. The imperial army's intelligence network in China, especially in the areas controlled by the Japanese Army, was

, was destroyed to the point of being completely destroyed, and the Southeast Asian Expedition Force could not get any information about the ** division. Otherwise, it would be enough to know whether this China devil took off from Kunming or Nanning.

By ambushing an elite fighter force on a predetermined route, you can accomplish this feat that will shock the world. How can it be like now, waiting aimlessly and waiting aimlessly? This suffering has been going on since a few days ago when the net was cast.

Waiting hard, just the feeling of worrying about gains and losses, can drive people crazy.

Dozens of bright spots suddenly appeared on Le Yiqin's airborne radar, and he immediately called: "Attention aircraft, a group of Japanese fighter jets has been spotted ahead. The first echelon keeps its course and speed unchanged, and the second echelon is ready for an assault.

"Then, he called again: "Commander Tang, this is Le Yiqin. I have discovered the Japanese ambush aircraft group, which should be a regiment in size."

Tang Qiuquan, who was at the ground command headquarters in Kunming, was refreshed. Sure enough, the Japs were ambushing him on the way. He and Le Yiqin's judgment was correct. "Yiqin, according to the scheduled plan, the escort aircraft group continued to fly. The Japanese ambush aircraft group was led by the second

Echelon solution, I estimate that the Japanese ambush should not be just this wave."

Under the noon sun, several bright spots suddenly appeared in Qingchuan's eyes. Although he hadn't seen what they were yet, he immediately realized that Tang Qiuli's special plane was coming. "Attention, all brigades, according to the scheduled plan,

The 1st and 2nd Battalions climbed up and flanked the Chinese aircraft group, and the 3rd Battalion attacked me head-on!"

The fighter jets of both sides were like two arrows, flying towards each other. The distance was less than a hundred kilometers, and they arrived in the blink of an eye. They both saw the figure of the other side's fighter jet. Qingchuan felt excited in his heart. He did not expect that this credit would be given to the person who had just been transferred.

I got it in Southeast Asia, and the resentment in my heart towards Commander Nomura has long since disappeared.

Le Yiqin looked around and was amused. The little devil was trying to make a dumpling out of more than 20 fighter jets by attacking them with more. They were attacking from three sides. It was quite cruel. The fleets of both sides were approaching quickly. Qingchuan's face was ferocious, and his eyes were fierce.

It emits a bloodthirsty light, like a wolf seeing its prey.

He saw at a glance that the leading fighter of the opponent's fleet was flying flamboyantly and domineeringly. The painting on the fuselage was obviously different from other fighters. On both sides of the nose, there were rows of five-pointed stars, like two-sided flying warplanes.

The flag was dancing in the high-speed airflow, with a fierce murderous aura that stung Qingchuan's eyes.

As a senior pilot, Qingchuan knew the meaning, which represented the number of enemy planes shot down. Qingchuan also had four such five-pointed stars on his own plane. They were given to him by the pilots of the Northern Flying Group of the ** Division.

His honor and Qingchuan's record made him the number one ace in the Kwantung Army Air Force, and he was very proud of it.

But compared with the guy opposite, there are very few. Those rows of red five-pointed stars, that is to say, there are at least forty heroic souls of the Imperial Air Warriors, who have made this arrogant Chinese pilot brilliant. He is the one who killed

The murderer of the imperial pilot! An uncontrollable hatred surged from Qingchuan's bones.

This is a big guy. He has an important position in the aviation unit of the ** Division. It makes sense when you think about it. The number one figure in the ** Division is on a visit. The man named Le Yiqin, his new opponent, has not yet been dispatched.

All the ace pilots were escorting him, Qingchuan thought in his mind, and a desire to fight spread throughout his body like an electric current.

According to Qingchuan's habit, he will never let go of such a good prey. With his flying skills, it is entirely possible to send the guy whose hands are stained with the blood of the Empire's air warriors to the bottom of the sea. But that's not possible today, and there are more

The big fish was waiting for him. Qingchuan reluctantly ordered other groups to attack the China escort fighter jets. He and his wingmen pressed the nose of the plane and rushed towards the huge special plane.

When Qingchuan's plane and Le Yiqin's plane passed each other, Qingchuan turned his head and glanced at the China fighter jet that was flying arrogantly. The plane number came into view clearly, "dhn--

-0001" Qingchuan was shocked. Could it be the plane belonging to Le Yiqin, the supreme commander of the ** Division Aviation Force?

He guessed correctly. This is Le Yiqin's fighter plane. Commander Le flies domineeringly and flamboyantly. The plane number means "Southern Flying Group of the ** Division Aviation Force." He is the number one in the aviation force and deserves the title.

After hearing the number of this plane, Qingchuan looked at Le Yiqin's landline, and Le Yiqin was also looking at his landline. Likewise, his eyes were stung by the four five-pointed stars on the nose of the plane.
