Age of Conquest Reborn

Lieutenant General Nomura, the commander of the Air Force who was originally despairing, stretched his neck and waited for a knife. After hearing the advice of Chief of Staff Major General Takahashi, a fire of hope ignited in his heart. From the bottom of his heart, Nomura did not want to be in the military circle.

His future was ruined like this, but whenever there was a slight chance, he would make a comeback, even if this opportunity was full of uncertainty and danger.

According to Takahashi's wishes, all bombers were dispatched and began to take action immediately. Even if the China fleet had an aircraft carrier, they would still have to fight to the death. However, Nomura did not think so. After many battles with Le Yiqin's air force, they all ended in miserably defeat.

Having learned a bloody lesson, Nomura no longer dares to look down upon any Chinese air force.

Although he did not know that this was the fleet under the command of the Chinese devil Tang Qiuli, he did not dare to take it lightly. The result of Nomura and Takahashi's discussion was to send out all reconnaissance planes to conduct an all-round reconnaissance of the fleet, especially those with

Without the presence of an aircraft carrier, the four bomber wings immediately entered first-level combat readiness and were on standby on the runway, ready to take off at any time.

More than a dozen Japanese reconnaissance planes took off one after another and flew towards the Zhongsha Islands. In the air force headquarters, Nomura and Takasaki were not in the mood to talk. They were anxiously waiting for the results. Their nervous foreheads were all filled with tears.

It's smelly sweat.

On the rough waters of the South China Sea, a huge fleet is sailing at full speed towards the Strait of Malacca. More than 80 warships guard two aircraft carriers at the core, plowing through the deep blue water, leaving a long stern.

Surrounding the fleet, there are dozens of small high-speed gunboats, as nimble as swallows flying through the clouds. Behind them, under the deep seabed, are more than twenty submarines. Driving behind the fleet in the distance, they are vigilant.

Pay attention to everything going on under the sea.

These high-speed and flexible gunboats are the secret weapons of the Japanese division fleet. They are equipped with naval combat-type "Thunder" rocket launchers and torpedoes. They have been improved many times by the Special Equipment Research Institute of the Military Industry Bureau of Dingbian Special Economic Zone. This kind of tonnage is one

The small gunboat, which weighs more than a hundred and thirty tons, is equipped with two high-speed propellers and can reach an astonishing speed of more than twenty-seven knots.

This speed even exceeds the speed of torpedoes. In addition to carrying six torpedoes, each gunboat also prepared two 32-hole naval combat "Thunder" multiple rocket launchers, two with a diameter of 42 mm.

Rapid-fire artillery can not only participate in naval battles, but also provide fire support for landing troops. In addition, it is as light as a swallow, high-speed and flexible, and has a somewhat elusive feel.

The only disadvantage is that it has poor resistance to harsh sea conditions and its own range is insufficient. However, the supply boat is equipped in the speedboat formation, which solves this problem very well. Based on the low cost and good practical effect,

Because of his love for speedboats, the fleet commander, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, personally named this speedboat "Assassin" and organized it into three brigades. This was Tang Qiuquan's trump card.

Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, commander of the ** Division Fleet, stood in the war room of the flagship "Canglang" with his hands behind his back. His eyes were fixed on the large chart, and there was always a shadow in his heart. The four aircraft were missing.

, where the Japanese reconnaissance plane whose destination cannot be determined came from. Is it Hainan Island or other Japanese fleets?

He shared Tang Qiuli's worries. He did not want to encounter any Japanese naval fleet and engage in an unwanted naval battle before the mission of capturing the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet was completed. It was not that Tang Qiuquan was passively avoiding the battle.

, He knows his own family affairs, and his younger brother cherishes this fleet like a pearl. Without absolute certainty, he will not allow the fleet to engage in a head-on naval battle with the Japanese fleet.

The first deputy commander of the fleet, Rear Admiral Amosyev, issued various instructions to the fleet in fluent Chinese from time to time. This former Soviet Pacific Fleet aircraft carrier captain has lived in China for more than three years and has completely integrated into China.

Except for the unchangeable Caucasian characteristics, everything about a person's life is no different from that of the Chinese. Even the language, if you don't hear it face to face, you will never believe that this is a foreigner speaking.

Chinese.

After Amoshiev issued an order, he looked up at Tang Qiuquan, who had not moved for a long time. He knew what his commander was thinking and worried about!

"Commander, I have ordered the first group of the first regiment of carrier-based aircraft to take off, with the fleet as the center, to conduct an all-round alert search within a radius of 250 nautical miles, and ordered the first group to investigate any suspicious situations found.

You are not allowed to go into battle and return immediately after reporting the situation," Amosyev said to Tang Qiuquan.

Tang Qiuquan turned around and looked at his deputy with admiration. After more than three years of getting along day and night, the two of them cooperated tacitly and forged a deep friendship. Amosiev always inadvertently solved many important problems for Tang Qiuquan.

Problem, with him, the burden on Tang Qiuquan's shoulders has been reduced by more than half. For example, just now, sending a carrier-based aircraft to conduct alert reconnaissance was the idea that just appeared in Tang Qiuquan's mind.

Tang Qiuquan instinctively felt that the Japanese reconnaissance plane would come again. For the first time, he was chased to pieces and ran away in a panic. He could only circle far outside the fleet and brought nothing of value back.

Any Japanese fleet or air force commander must figure out the strength of his own fleet. Amosiev not only thought of it, but also completed it.

Looking at Tang Qiuquan's eyes, Amosiyev smiled honestly. He had seen this kind of eyes many times, but every time, he felt a sense of excitement and warmth. This may be what the Chinese say: "A scholar is a bosom friend."

The artistic conception of "the one who dies"!

Just as Tang Qiuquan was about to speak, the communications officer walked into the war room and said, "Commander, deputy commander, radar report, about three hundred nautical miles northwest, fourteen unidentified aircraft were spotted flying towards our fleet."

Tang Qiuquan and Amosiyev looked at each other, northwest? At this time, another staff officer came in, "Report to the commander, deputy commander, the carrier-based aircraft reconnaissance team reported that unknown objects were found about a hundred nautical miles northwest.

According to the identity of the aircraft, judging from the course, the target is where our fleet is."

It's the northwest direction again. How should I say, the radar and reconnaissance brigade discovered the same batch of aircraft. Tang Qiuquan and Amosiev's eyes coincidentally looked at a place name on the large chart, "Hainan Island!"

Yes, this is right here. If it were a reconnaissance aircraft from Taiwan or other fleets of the Japanese Navy, the direction it would come from would be due east or southeast.

Tang Qiuquan looked at Amosiev and said: "Deputy Commander, what do you think?" Amosiev replied succinctly: "It should be a Japanese reconnaissance aircraft from Yulin Base on Hainan Island. Judging from the current speed, then

In about an hour, we will reach the sea area where the fleet is located, and evasion is impossible. Commander, what do you think?"

Tang Qiuquan smiled and said: "Just take it easy when you come. Do you think we are easy to bully? Just now, I received a war report from the division commander. All the Japanese fighter jets stationed at Yulin Base on Hainan Island were killed by our Southern Flying Group. They are gone.

Fighter, I would like to see what Nomura is planning, and if the time is right, I wouldn't mind fighting him, what do you think?"

Amosiev blinked his blue eyes a few times and uttered a Chinese idiom, "Heroes see the same thing!" Tang Qiuquan laughed, "Order the carrier-based aircraft reconnaissance brigade to send over a dozen Japanese reconnaissance planes to let the Japanese

Watch enough, and then, without alerting them, follow it back to determine whether it belongs to the Japanese army aviation unit on Hainan Island."

Then he said to the communications officer: "Sending a report to the division commander, our fleet has basically confirmed that the Japanese reconnaissance plane that appeared over the waters of our fleet today belongs to the Japanese Southeast Asia Expedition Force Air Force on Hainan Island. Now, the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft

The second batch of reconnaissance planes are on their way in. The Fleet Headquarters recommends that at the right time, a heavy blow be given to the invading Japanese aircraft! In addition, please provide detailed information about the Japanese Nomura Air Force."

After receiving the telegram from Tang Qiuquan, Tang Qiuli frowned and thought. From the bottom of his heart, he did not want Brother Qiuquan to fight this battle. Any battle contained dangers. He could not let his fleet risk this.

Risk, this is inconsistent with his original intention. Furthermore, will the delay of the fleet give the already half-disabled Third Fleet a chance to breathe and slip away calmly?

But Brother Qiuquan was very determined, but Tang Qiuli was a little hesitant. He handed the telegram to Tang Qiusheng and said: "Brother Qiu Sheng, look, the fleet's opinion is that between the Zhongsha Islands and the Nansha Islands,

What do you think of a fight with the Japanese Air Force?"

Tang Qiusheng read the telegram carefully and said, "With or without a fight, can the fleet get rid of Nomura's attack?" Tang Qiuli was suddenly shocked. Qiusheng's words were on point. Since the fleet was attacked

Nomura's reconnaissance plane discovered it, and it was impossible to put it away

It is better to fight to get rid of Nomura's attack. From Qiuquan's telegram, it can be seen that their determination is based on the annihilation of all Japanese fighter jets. Otherwise, the Japanese fighter Nomura will not be asked

Details of the aviation fleet.

Tang Qiuli no longer hesitated and ordered: "Xinlan, record the message, the fleet headquarters, the division commander agrees that your unit will be in the current sea area to fight against the Japanese Nomura Air Force, the specific combat command, the division commander will not interfere, and then

Send detailed information to the Japanese Nomura Air Force. This is the first battle for our fleet. Please treat it with caution and look forward to the good news of victory!"

After the telegram was sent, Tang Qiuli felt relaxed. Since it was unavoidable, he would face it head on. He was now used to it. After formulating a complete strategic plan, the specific battle command was shared among several deputy division commanders and corps commanders.

, and I am happy and leisurely.

Besides, Brother Qiuquan’s fleet is thousands of miles away in the South China Sea, commanding naval battles. He is a layman, so he doesn’t want to do stupid things like pointing fingers and commanding remotely! Is Brother Qiuquan a master who is easy to bully?
