Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 1727 The Coral Sea Air Battle (1)

For Lieutenant General Wagnerzer, the chief of staff of the British-Australian army who led the retreat of 100,000 soldiers, misfortune never comes singly, which is most suitable for his current situation.

Before he could react to the nightmare of the fleet telegram, the captain rushed in panting and panicked, bringing another piece of bad news that was enough to break the spirit of Chief of Staff Wagner, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, it's not good.

On the left side of our fleet, we found a large number of Japanese warships, encircling them!" the captain shouted desperately.

As soon as the captain finished speaking, there were roars in the sky, and then the crew members outside the cabin exclaimed, "Oh no! It's a Japanese plane!"

Not only the crew saw it, but all the soldiers on the ship also saw the Japanese aircraft in the sky, under the two wings, spray-painted with a blood-red sun pattern, staring like a devil with bloodthirsty eyes, getting closer and closer.

It rushed over, accompanied by bursts of engine roars, causing great fear to all the British and Australian soldiers, psychologically and visually, as if the end of the world was coming.

The soldiers all knew that the ship they were traveling on was an unarmed civilian ship. Under the attack of Japanese aircraft and warships, they had no ability to fight back. If they were on land, the soldiers could still fight back with the guns in their hands.

But now, they were just waiting to be killed. The unsymmetrical balance of power, panic, fear, confusion, and despair spread in the hearts of all the British and Australian soldiers, and the troops began to riot.

The deck of the troop carrier was full of soldiers running around like headless chickens. In fact, even they themselves did not know what they were shouting. Driven by their survival instinct, the British and Australian soldiers subconsciously

Thinking of leaving this extremely dangerous ship quickly, many British and Australian soldiers grabbed everything they could grab and jumped into the rough sea without hesitation. The loud shouts of the officers could not stop the soldiers' actions.

.

Lieutenant General Wagnerzer, with a face ashen as death, stared blankly at the soldiers jumping into the sea like dumplings. He was numb and his mind went blank. He had completely forgotten that there was also a fleet of aircraft of the ** division, which was about to

arrival!

The Second and Fourth Fleets of the Japanese Navy have been lurking in the Coral Sea for more than two days, waiting for the British and Australian troop transport fleets to take the bait. According to the original plan, the Second and Fourth Fleets were in the British Navy.

After the military task force rendezvoused with the troop carrier formation, it encircled it from the left and right directions, burying the British naval force in the Southwest Pacific and 100,000 British and Australian soldiers on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in one fell swoop.

One hundred thousand British and Australian soldiers evacuated from Luzon Island to the Coral Sea. They did not escape the surveillance of the Japanese carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft. However, the troop transport formation did not have air surveillance equipment, and the Japanese reconnaissance

The pilot of the aircraft received strict orders not to expose the target and alert the British. Therefore, he was extra careful and was never discovered. This also allowed Chief of Staff Wagner to make a wrong judgment.

The original plan was perfect. Two fleets, six aircraft carriers, more than 140 warships, surrounded the British task force without aircraft carriers, more than 30 warships, and hundreds of unarmed troop carriers. The battle was nothing at all.

The suspense is similar to two strong men with martial arts murdering two babies.

Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, Commander of the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet, and Lieutenant General Masao Okamura, Commander of the Fourth Fleet, both knew very well that the Navy's mission of annihilating enemies this time was the responsibility of the Navy's big bosses.

He lost his face and took it from the Army's mouth. It was hard-won.

Therefore, both Shirakawa Yoshitetsu and Okamura Masao had the same idea. If they don't fight, they will fight. If they fight, they will fight an extremely beautiful battle of annihilation at sea. After several telegrams, the two people reached a consensus.

,Dangying

When the Australian troop transport formation met up with the British task force, the two fleets suddenly rushed out and used the most ferocious firepower to kill 100,000 British and Australian soldiers and more than 30 British ships in the shortest time.

The warship was completely sent to the bottom of the sea.

In the words of Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, commander of the Second Fleet, “When a tiger fights a rabbit, you need to do your best! We will not be as arrogant as the army. In every battle, no matter how weak the enemy is and how vulnerable he is, we must use our full strength.

Treat them with due diligence, this is the fine tradition of the Imperial Navy!"

The words of Lieutenant General Masao Okamura, commander of the Fourth Fleet, were more direct and murderous, "Our navy just wants to show those guys in the army that they have to fight for days and nights on land and make a heavy effort.

The results that can only be achieved after casualties can be achieved in the hands of the Imperial Navy in just a few hours and at the cost of zero casualties!"

The plan was flawless, but when it came to the most critical moment, the British turned into meat in their mouths. There was a slight problem. For some unknown reason, the British task force that came to escort did not arrive on time to rendezvous.

The sea area, and also has the intention of turning around and returning.

Both Shirakawa Yoshitaka and Okamura Masao were anxious. If the British task force turned around and ran back, wouldn't it ruin the plan of encirclement and annihilation?

Warship, how can you, your Excellency, the two commanders, keep your face?

The two discussed in the telegram and decided that the fourth fleet would be responsible for dealing with the British task force, and the second fleet would be responsible for dealing with the British-Australian troop carrier formation. Although the two fleets that originally fought together were separated, in terms of firepower and troop strength comparison,

still had an absolute advantage, Lieutenant General Shirakawa and Lieutenant General Okamura were not worried about the outcome of the battle, which would disappoint themselves.

When Le Yiqin led the fleet to the sky above the British-Australian troop transport formation, he happened to see this chaotic scene. He frowned and in his heart, he greatly despised the British-Australian soldiers. If they were infantrymen of the ** Division

When we encounter this situation, the first thing we think of is definitely not to rush into the sea, but to concentrate all weapons and organize air shooting. Even if it is bombed and sunk, we cannot let the Japanese planes bomb and straf without restraint.

.

At the same time, Le Yiqin was also secretly glad that she finally reached the designated airspace ahead of the little Japanese. If it had been about ten minutes later, the British and Australian troop transport formation below would have been hit by the first round of Japanese aircraft.

Le Yiqin ordered: "The second echelon fighter formation will attack the Japanese fleet immediately. It has been holding back for more than half a year. This time, let's take out all the anger on the little devil's head!"

What attacked the British-Australian troop transport formation was the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet carrier-based aircraft formation. More than 120 carrier-based aircraft took off from three aircraft carriers. Under the command of the air formation commander Kaga Seiichi, the navy

Under the command of the colonel, they pounced ferociously. Two days of waiting was enough to make the murderous desires in these Japanese carrier-based aircraft pilots boil to the extreme. Once they came up, they would start a killing spree.

Looking at the scope of the incoming attack, Colonel Kaga ordered fiercely: "Attention, all squadrons, attack freely. Imperial air warriors, under your wings, there are British and Australians like lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Get your fighters on board."

Pour all the bullets on these white-skinned pigs. This ocean will turn bright red. I remind you, don’t let the rifle bullets in the hands of those white-skinned pigs hit your butts! Start attacking.

!”

The Japanese carrier-based aircraft pilots laughed wildly and howled like hungry wolves. Soon, the Japanese pilots discovered that things were not as simple as they imagined. A large group of fighter jets suddenly swooped down from the sky.

He shot towards his formation like a sharp arrow.

Colonel Kaga had just given the order to attack freely. He was also a guy unwilling to be left alone. He was about to lower the nose of the plane and conduct a dive attack. Suddenly, his wingman shouted loudly: "Your Majesty Colonel, the enemy plane has been found. The enemy plane has been found.

, is rushing towards our formation!"

Colonel Kaga stopped his movements in a hurry, looked up, his scalp was numb, "Honey? Damn China fighter jets, why did they suddenly appear here?" He remembered that in the enemy situation report of the fleet, it was mentioned that the China Devil Tang

Qiu Li's aviation force might come to escort the British and Australian troops, but he didn't take it seriously!

Unexpectedly, I actually encountered Kaga Osa's murderous desire, which turned into a cold sweat. Why?

The number of fighter jets of the ** Division Aviation Force that appeared in front of him far exceeded his own formation. Colonel Kaga judged that the number should be more than 300, more than double his own. Colonel Kaga immediately shouted: "Fleet"

Aerial command, Kaga reported that when our formation was attacking the British-Australian troop transport fleet, we discovered that the ** Division fighter group, about three hundred aircraft, was attacking our formation, requesting reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements!

By the time Colonel Kaga reported, Le Yiqin's second-echelon fighter group was already engaged with the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group. The fighters from both sides immediately bit into each other. More than 400 fighter jets were mixed together, flying up and down, interacting with each other.

During the chase, the nose of the aircraft sprayed flames, and the "clucking" sounds of the airborne machine guns rang out. The blue sky with white clouds was immediately cut into fragments by the roaring ballistics.

The hard-working air force pilots, working in groups of two, cooperated with each other to catch the Japanese carrier-based aircraft and fight them to death. They had the advantage in numbers, and the pilots were very motivated. What?

As soon as they met, the second echelon fighter group of the Southern Flying Group clearly had the upper hand. More than 20 Japanese carrier-based aircraft either swayed toward the sea with thick smoke coming from behind, or made a "boom" sound.

, exploded into pieces in the air.

To fight such a large-scale air battle, the pilots of the Navy Division have extremely rich experience. After many aerial battles, they have figured out a complete set of tactics. First, they used the most ferocious movements to break up the Japanese carrier-based aircraft formations.

shape, and then, using their numerical advantage, divided the Japanese carrier-based aircraft into several non-connected parts and attacked them!

Le Yiqin piloted his fighter plane, hovering at high altitude, and took control of the entire air combat situation. When he saw the pilots fighting hard and cunningly, he gained the upper hand, and smiled with satisfaction.
