Age of Conquest Reborn

Commander Whiteman, seeing the changed expressions of his subordinates, said surprisingly gently: "Everyone, we have no retreat. We can only pick up our guns and fight with the soldiers. I hope we die bravely!"

The US military officers were silent. Suddenly, a young lieutenant staff officer burst into tears and shouted vaguely: "Commander, I don't want to die!"

Major General Whiteman was silent for a moment, then asked: "Who else doesn't want to die?"

More than a dozen officers came forward one after another, timidly. Commander Whiteman said: "Well, I have no right to force you to fight, let alone to deprive you of your life. Leave here immediately and return to Manila. If the military police interrogate you,

Get up and say it was approved by me. I wish you good luck!"

Ten minutes later, a small force of more than 500 U.S. military officers and soldiers, with the mentality of moths throwing themselves into flames, ran towards the battlefield under heavy artillery fire. Major General Whiteman was wearing a steel helmet and holding a submachine gun.

Running at the front, if you look closely, you can see that the vast majority of this small US military unit are officers.

Put down the phone, Commander-in-Chief MacArthur almost fainted again. On the morning of August 13th, a series of heavy blows made this always conceited American general almost collapse. All the planes were gone, damn Whiteman's

The troops were divided and surrounded by the Japanese army again. The troops of that damn British man, Fernandez, were still crawling on the road like old cows. Everything told him the ruthless fact that Japanese soldiers would soon appear under the city of Manila!

MacArthur did not expect how long the Third Army, which was surrounded by the Japanese army, could hold off the Japanese army at the cost of annihilation. With the fire support of aircraft, the Third Army relied on solid fortifications to fight positional warfare, but suffered repeated losses.

The losses were heavy.

What's more, now that it is divided and surrounded, it cannot send reinforcements. Facing the siege of the main Japanese army on Luzon Island, rescuing the Third Army requires the Manila defense line. All troops have been dispatched, and it has not yet

The ideal effect must be achieved.

I am not an irrational and emotional person. If the hundreds of thousands of troops on the Manila defense line are entangled by the Japanese army in the Calais Mountains, the plan I have carefully planned for several months will be declared bankrupt. What will follow is

The fall of empty Manila, the fall of the entire Luzon Island, and the collapse of many years of foundations. For the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers, it is not worth it, and it is not necessary to risk the results of many years of hard work in the Southwest Pacific region, because this is

war!

General MacArthur was only slightly entangled in his heart for a while, and then he focused on the upcoming crisis. He said to the acting chief of staff, Colonel Kleist: "Convey my order to all the troops. From now on

Get up and enter combat mode, Kleist. Next, Manila will fall into a bloody and bitter battle!" After saying that, he let out a long sigh, his emotions full of helplessness and bitterness!

During the early morning hours of August 13, there was another person who was more anxious and restless than the commander-in-chief of the US military, General MacArthur. This person was the commander of the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division Aviation and the number one air force under the division commander Tang Qiuli.

A tough general, Major General Le Yiqin, known as the "militant".

All the ground radars of the flight group facing the airspace of Luzon Island were turned on. Under the airtight radar network surveillance, the specific situation of the confrontation between the US and Japanese air forces was clearly presented in front of Le Yiqin. He basically

I stayed up all night, staying in the Yangon Navy and Air Force Base, in the forward air control room, and with a large group of staff officers, paying close attention to the situation of the Luzon Island air battle.

After the official exchange of fire between the US and Japanese air forces, the air control room was busy. The staff kept sending their respective intelligence. On the huge sand table, several combat staff sat on the sand table under the command of Le Yiqin.

The deduction accurately displayed the positions of the US and Japanese aircraft fleets on the sand table, while Le Yiqin himself, with a red face, constantly changed his role, sometimes acting as the commander of the US military aircraft fleet, and the next time he was the commander of the Japanese military aircraft fleet.

.

Several young staff officers, being directed by Le Yiqin, were so busy that they were sweating profusely. Coupled with the correspondents coming and going, people who didn't know the inside story would have thought that it was the Southern Flying Group, which was conducting a decisive mission.

The great air battle, when the United States

When Rijkaard's First Air Force left the battlefield in the Calais Mountains and pursued a small group of Japanese aircraft toward the airspace of the Babuyan Strait, Le Yiqin slapped the table and shouted: "No! Xiao

This move by the Japanese is obviously a fraud, and the Americans will suffer!"

The staff officers of the Operations Department have long been accustomed to the commander's yelling attitude. They also know that as long as it involves the field of air combat, anyone can speak freely without worrying about being punished for saying the wrong thing. A captain and staff officer was not convinced.

Said: "Commander, are you being a little alarmist? I don't think there is a big problem with the Yankees' tactics. Concentrate superior forces to surround and annihilate the harassing small Japanese aircraft groups, and then support the ground infantry without interference.

attack!"

Le Yiqin Yiselen said: "It is theoretically correct to only know one but not the other. However, a specific analysis must be made based on the actual situation on the battlefield and the comparison of forces between the two sides. The Japanese army in the Southwest Pacific battlefield,

There are more than 1,400 fighter jets in three air forces. This time, dozens of them were dispatched to carry out harassing attacks. They were clearly showing weakness. I judged that the commander of the little Japanese air force would definitely give the Yankees

The plane dug a big hole somewhere!"

The young staff officers all showed expressions of disbelief. What the commander said was too mysterious. Le Yiqin didn't bother to argue with them. She stared at the changes in the positions of the Japanese and American aircraft groups on the sand table and said: "

As for right and wrong, you guys will know later. Hey! Why do I feel that something is wrong?"

The staff officers were puzzled. Something was wrong with the commander. At this time, the US Second Air Force also left the airspace of the Calais Mountains and chased a small Japanese aircraft group towards the Lingayen Bay airspace.

His eyes flashed and he said: "I'm sure, the commander of the Japs' air force is playing a conspiracy. You see, two small fleets are used to lure the Yankee fleet into a desperate pursuit, but the direction in which the Japs' fleet is retreating is in the direction of the retreat.

Two different places!”

The staff officers looked at the commander, but still didn't understand what he meant. Le Yiqin continued: "What kind of tactic is this? Please get into the trap. By the way, it's an ambush. It must be an ambush. All the planes of the little devil are heading to Luzon Island."

The purpose of the airspace massing is to launch a huge ambush against the Yankee fleet! It’s over, the Americans will definitely suffer a big loss, or if not done well, the whole army will be annihilated!”

The staff members were still digesting the commander's words. Suddenly, Le Yiqin punched the table and roared: "I'm so damn angry. You kid is really not a thing. This aerial ambush tactic is clearly mine."

How come this original creation was copied by a kid?" Hearing the commander's roar, the staff and correspondents almost burst out laughing.

At around six o'clock in the morning, the result of the air battle over Luzon Island was as judged by Le Yiqin. The 1st and 2nd Air Forces of the US Southwest Pacific Theater, in the Babuyan Strait airspace and the Lingayen Gulf airspace,

They were ambushed by a superior Japanese fighter group and were nearly wiped out.

An unprecedented and tragic air battle between the US and Japanese air forces in the Pacific came to an end. Le Yiqin calmed down instead, smoking a cigarette and sitting quietly in a chair. No one knew what he was thinking about.

?The eyes of the staff officers looking at the commander all changed. It was a kind of admiration and admiration from the bottom of their hearts!

Le Yiqin lazily stood up and said listlessly: "I've been busy all night, let's take a rest. It's time for me to catch up on a good night's sleep! Hey, the fight was quite lively, but we have nothing to do and are greedy.

Woolen cloth!"

Le Yiqin was about to get up and leave, but at this moment, "Ding, ring, ring!" a red telephone on the table rang rapidly. A staff officer picked up the phone. After listening to a few words, his face suddenly changed.

, shouted at Le Yiqin: "Commander, the Third Brigade of the 9th Fighter Regiment, which is performing patrol missions in the airspace of the Nansha Islands, has an emergency report!"

The staff members felt that their vision was blurred. They looked like the commander who had just woken up. At a staggering speed, they were in front of the phone in an instant. They grabbed the phone and said hurriedly: "I am Le Yiqin.

What's the emergency? Say it!"

The one who reported the situation was the Third Brigade of the Ninth Fighter Regiment, which was performing routine air patrols in the airspace of the Nansha Islands. The regiment is based at the Yulin Naval and Air Force Base on Hainan Island. Just a minute ago, Lieutenant Colonel Xu Zheguang, the captain of the regiment,

It was discovered from the radar that two batches of fighter jets broke into our airspace one after another. Judging from the flight trajectory, the two sides were in a state of war. Moreover, the first few fighter jets were escaping, while the rear fighter jets were in hot pursuit.

.

Xu Zheguang did not dare to neglect, and ordered his squadrons to form combat formations to intercept, while reporting the situation to the Yangon air command. Xu Zheguang also knew that starting from early this morning, the Japanese and American air forces were in Luzon.

There is a fierce air battle going on in the airspace of the island. Maybe the little Japanese pilot and the Yankee pilot who were knocked unconscious came to our side!

Le Yiqin's eyes shone, and she laughed loudly and asked: "Xu Zheguang, are you sure it is within the airspace we control?"

Xu Zheguang replied affirmatively: "It is certain that there are five US military fighter jets and 12 Japanese military fighter jets, which have penetrated more than 80 kilometers into our airspace. Moreover, they are still fighting. They are fighting and breaking in at the same time.

of!"

Le Yiqin excitedly banged the table and shouted: "Okay! Intercept immediately and pass the communication channel to me. I want to hear why these little Japanese pilots and Yankee pilots came to our ground."

?Wait for my order and be ready to kill these bastards!"
