Age of Conquest Reborn
Chapter 1428 The victory of the air battle
Lieutenant General Bright, the commander of the British Air Force in India, knew that Le Yiqin, the commander of the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division Air Force, was not easy to deal with. Didn't his pilots make great achievements in bloody battles with the Japanese aviation force?
, In fact, his rich combat experience, ruthlessness and ferocity in air combat are simply not comparable to those of his own rookie pilots who have never been on the battlefield and are like young men.
Therefore, Lieutenant General Bright formulated his tactics based on his own strength. He would launch a surprise attack and then leave immediately, severely damaging the bomber force of the Japanese division, and not engaging Le Yiqin's fighter jets, leaving Alexander with no reason to force the Air Force.
Go to war and make trouble for yourself. As for the war on the ground, it depends on Alexander's luck. If he wins, he will have his share of the credit. If he fails, it has nothing to do with him!
Fortunately, my plan was close to success. After fifteen minutes, everything came to light. It is often at this moment that the most nervous and touching moment comes.
"Report to Commander, our air attack on the Magao mixed formation was intercepted by ** Division fighter jets more than 400 kilometers west of Magao. The opponent's force was a simplified formation. We are engaged in a fierce battle!" came the message on the intercom!
This was mixed with the formation commander's call, and was accompanied by the "ta-da-da" sound of bursts of machine gun fire.
Lieutenant General Bright suddenly jumped up. Unexpectedly, the direction where Le Yiqin's fighter jets should not appear is Magao. It is neither an important target nor a military fortress that must be destroyed. It is just an ordinary place in northern Myanmar.
Away from the small town, the Myanmar Northern Border Guard Area Headquarters of the ** Division is located, a brigade-level unit.
It was simply not worth it for Lieutenant General Bright to invest two bomber wings, one fighter wing, and more than 200 aircraft to bomb a negligible target. The reason why Bright chose Magao as the bombing target was to compete with Alexander.
As a result, since bombing Myitkyina means there is no return, then bomb Magao. Complete the bombing mission requested by Alexander with zero losses.
However, the current emergency situation obviously exceeded Lieutenant General Bright's expectation. Le Yiqin's sudden appearance in a wing fighter group in the airspace west of Magao gave him a smell of conspiracy and danger.
Bright had a cold war. If Le Yiqin deployed a fighter wing in the airspace west of Magao, if it was premeditated, then without fighter escort, it would bomb Ledo, Sujia, Jamai, and New Taiji.
Is the underground bomber group a bigger conspiracy? Or is it a decoy to lure his own fighter group to raid, and Le Yiqin's fighter jets suddenly come out?
However, even if it was a conspiracy, it was too late. His fighter group had already started the attack, and there was no possibility of stopping it suddenly. Bright rushed to the intercom and gave an urgent order: "Bomb the mixed fleet of Magao, fighter jets."
The wing held back the Chinese fighter jets, and the bomber group returned as quickly as possible after completing the bombing!"
"All attack fighter formations must end the battle within fifteen minutes, regardless of the outcome. They must return home. This is an order!" After saying that, Bright leaned back on his chair tiredly, closed his eyes, and sighed in his heart, "Already.
We prepared for the worst and left the rest to fate. I hope Le Yiqin’s fighter jets don’t arrive in the air combat area in time.”
At around 9:06 a.m. on April 26, all commanders of the bomber formation of the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division received orders from the base headquarters to "hold on for another fifteen minutes and then return to prevent British aircraft from finding them."
Missing the target." The commanders of each bomber formation were all experienced and discerning people, and they immediately understood the command's intentions.
I don't feel very good about it. The good bombers were in an uninhabited land in Indochina. The little devils were blown up to pieces. How come they became bait when it came time to start a war with the British? In addition to being depressed, I was left with nothing.
My eyes are red.
Colonel Xu Zhiming, commander of the second bomber regiment, gave a wry smile and issued the following order to the bombers that had dropped all their bombs: "Attention, all crews, climb to altitude, complete the air formation, and hover over the target for fifteen minutes!"
When the bombers of the ** division did not fly away, the British and Indian soldiers lay on the ground and did not dare to get up. They were wondering, the Chinese bombers no longer dropped bombs on their heads, why did they not return? Could it be that
Are there other conspiracies?
Fifteen minutes later, on Xu Zhiming's airborne radar screen, British fighter jets were getting closer and closer. "Report to the base headquarters that our formation has completed its task of luring the enemy. Are you allowed to return?" At this time, Xu Zhiming asked for himself for the first time.
I was flying a bomber, and I felt very sorry. What a great opportunity I had to give up to those guys in the fighter plane.
"Each bomber formation will return at the highest speed. In ten minutes, it will pass through the fighter ambush airspace." Following the order from the Myitkyina base headquarters, the bomber group that had completed the formation and was waiting for the order to return turned around and headed towards Myitkyina.
Fly away, but in the eyes of the commander of the British fighter formation, such an action is an embarrassing escape!
Commander Bright's order aroused the dissatisfaction and contempt of all the commanders of the British fighter formations. "How can you see the Chinese bomber group without fighter escort and not actively attack? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Fifteen
How much can a minute do? You flew all the way from East India just to take a look at the Chinese bombers? Are you not sick, Commander?"
A series of question marks swirled in the minds of the commanders of the British fighter formations. When they saw the Chinese bombers fleeing in panic, all the British air commanders felt their adrenaline surge and their blood pressure rise. They personally shot down a Chinese bomber.
What an honor it is to be a human bomber. In the Air Force stationed in India, it is the capital of promotion.
Seeing the Chinese bombers without the slightest ability to defend themselves, within ten minutes of flight, the British air commander had long forgotten Commander Bright's order and issued an order to his own formation.
They gave almost the same order: "Pursue! Get rid of all the Chinese bombers before the Chinese fighter jets arrive!"
At about 9:40 a.m. on April 26, a fierce aerial battle began between the fighter groups of the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division and the fighter groups of the British Air Force in India over northern Myanmar. This was
The first large-scale air battle between Chinese and British fighter jets was also the last collision. The suddenness of the battle and the unexpected ending were talked about by military experts in later generations.
In this air battle of unprecedented scale, both the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division and the British Air Force in India devoted all their efforts. A total of more than 2,000 fighter jets and bombers were deployed in the air battle area, starting from the India-Myanmar border close to northern Myanmar.
The Hukang River Valley spreads out as the center, extending from Ledo in the south to New Taiji in the north, including Magao in the middle. It spreads over an airspace of more than 800 kilometers and is filled with smoke everywhere.
At around 12 noon that day, the air battle ended. Le Yiqin's fighter plane landed at Myitkyina Airport. As soon as he jumped out of the plane, he was greeted by bursts of cheers. Before he could react, he was greeted by a large group of cheers.
The pilots who were waiting there, excited by the huge victory, lifted them up and kept throwing them into the air.
Many ground crew members gathered around and kept shouting: "Commander, we have won a big victory!" Le Yiqin was thrown dizzy and shouted: "You brats, hurry up!"
Stop, my old bones, can I withstand your torment like this?"
Le Yiqin's words caused a burst of boos. Le Yiqin was also amused when he was put down. It seemed that he was a few years older than these pilots. It was not appropriate to call him "old bones"! It is not enough to rely on the old and sell the old.
qualifications!
Le Yiqin found the head of the Logistics Department from the crowd and loudly ordered: "Tell the canteen to add extra food tonight and make it richer. Don't be afraid of spending money. Also, prepare some good wine. Except for pilots on combat duty, they are not allowed to do so."
In addition to drinking, including ground staff,
Let’s all attend tonight’s dinner party. Let’s have a good celebration and get drunk! Don’t look so pained. You guys who work in logistics are all the same as your Zhang Chu. How come you feel bad when you talk about spending money? Are you born to be born?
You're so stingy, you're the only one asking if you don't have enough wine!"
Magao, the ** Division's frontline headquarters for the Northern Myanmar Campaign, Division Commander Tang Qiuli, is looking at the battle report from Le Yiqin that he just received. "Division Commander, this morning, in Magao, Ledo, Sujia, and Gamai
, New Taiji and other places, our Southern Flying Group conducted a large-scale air battle with the main fleet of the British Air Force in India. After more than two hours and twenty minutes of fighting, our unit lost 28 fighter jets.
The British Air Force fleet was defeated, and the specific results are being tallied."
At the end of the telegram, Le Yiqin wrote in very poetic language, "After this battle, Le Yiqin can represent all the pilots of the Southern Flying Group to assure the division commander that from now on, all airspace in East India and even the South Asian subcontinent will be
The space for my ** division's war eagle to fly freely! I would like to express my highest respect to the division commander! Personally written by Le Yiqin."
After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuli laughed and said: "Okay, a good start. In the Battle of Northern Burma, Alexander's British and Indian troops were completely wiped out. Le Yiqin made the first contribution. This guy is getting more and more cunning in the war.
Now, I have changed from an aerial warrior to a wise general. I am not very used to it. This move is very useful for luring snakes out of their holes and aerial ambushes. Otherwise, the British would not invest all their air power. It will be troublesome in the end."
After praising him, Tang Qiuli said to Zhao Yuhe: "Yuhe, on my behalf, call the Myitkyina Air Force Base to congratulate you. In addition, tell Le Yiqin that I have given special approval today, and they can have a drink and celebrate in the evening."
Victory, going into battle to kill the enemy, dismounting and drinking, are these the true qualities of a man!"!~!
