Age of Conquest Reborn

"Reporting to the air command, our echelon has discovered traces of the Japanese fleet. In the waters about 200 kilometers south of Huludao, the Japanese fleet is fleeing towards Lushun at full speed. Please ask for instructions whether to start the attack immediately!" The first echelon of the mixed fleet of the Northern Flying Group

The air commander reported.

In Jinzhou, Liu Cuigang, the air commander of the Northern Flying Group of the Aviation Force, was fully clothed and ordered: "You can attack, pay attention to the rhythm of the battlefield. The main task of your echelon is not to immediately sink the Japanese warships, but to draw out the Kwantung Army's Third Air Force. Pay attention

Air radar search!”

Putting down the communicator, Liu Cuigang ordered the communications staff again: "Order the ground radar stations along the coast to capture the movements of the Japanese fighter group with all their strength!" Then, he ran out of the command post and ran towards his fighter plane parked on the runway.

.

On the sea surface of Liaodong Bay, Colonel Yamada watched in horror the group of Japanese Army aircraft rushing toward him. According to the order he had just given, all the Japanese fleet's anti-aircraft artillery fire began to fire. However, the sparse anti-aircraft firepower did not constitute a strict air defense at all.

In addition to the firepower network, the Japanese warships were retreating at full speed. Looking from the sky, the Japanese warships were basically in a state of continuous counterattack.

Colonel Lin Zhixian, the air commander of the first echelon of the Northern Flying Group and the commander of the first fighter regiment, muttered dissatisfied: "The commander is really troublesome. It's not fun to fight with only a dozen little Japanese warships!"

Complaints were complaints, he didn't dare to disobey Liu Cuigang's orders.

Lin Zhixian ordered his fighter planes to circle over the Japanese fleet. Looking at the scattered and non-threatening anti-aircraft fire on the sea, which was almost like fireworks, Lin Zhixian ordered: "First attack wave of bombers, start attacking. Catch them."

The few little Japanese warships that are lagging behind will give these bastards a good beating. Brothers, a reminder, don’t get addicted to beating them and kill all the little Japanese warships at once. The commander will blame them, and none of us can escape!

"

There was a burst of complaints from the earphones, and Lin Zhixian thought with a wry smile: "You think I am willing to fight like this? Who doesn't want to let go and have a good fight!"

The first bomber group, as the first attack wave, took the lead in attacking the six Japanese warships that were lagging behind. Several bombers besieged a target, and several fighter jets dexterously shuttled among the weak anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese warships.

Strings of bullets were sprayed on the Japanese warship like raindrops. The Japanese sailors were knocked upside down and sparks were flying on the deck of the warship.

The bombers entered the bombing channel, and heavy aerial bombs fell from the sky with screams. Under the stunned gaze of the Japanese sailors, they gradually became larger and louder. "Boom, boom, boom!" A deafening explosion sounded, and the Japanese warships

On board, there was thick smoke and flames. The exploding shrapnel flew in all directions, cutting into the bodies of the Japanese sailors. The thick smoke billowed and the fire flashed. The Japanese warship was like a huge smoking can, with tongues of flames rising everywhere on the hull.

!

Liu Cuigang's Northern Flying Group bomber unit dropped bombs with astonishing accuracy. Although they did not have as many combat missions as Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group, the results of their daily training were undoubtedly demonstrated in actual combat. Not a single bomb was dropped.

Off target, hit rate reached 100%!

After the first attack wave dropped bombs, they immediately pulled up, and the bombers of the second attack wave immediately began bombing. On the sea, there was another burst of fireworks and explosions. After the two rounds of attacks, dozens of heavy aerial bombs were dropped.

, the six Japanese warships, carrying fire and thick smoke, and the Japanese officers and sailors who had no time to jump into the sea to escape, quickly sank into the vast waves of Liaodong Bay. On the sea, there were only a few broken Huanglong flags and no traces.

Floating helplessly.

Colonel Yamada Shinohonori was trembling all over and fell down on his chair. He had witnessed the battle just now with his own eyes. A total of six warships of the Japanese Empire, together with the imperial samurai on the warships, in a short time,

The smoke disappeared. Sadly, six warships were lost, and not even a Chinese plane landed. The death of the Imperial Japanese samurai did not result in any casualties from the enemy.

This is what Yamada is most afraid of and sad about. Only when he encountered a battle did he truly know how fragile and vulnerable the fleet that he thought could run rampant in Liaodong Bay looked when faced with the large-scale Chinese aircraft fleet.

, the first round of attacks by the Chinese aircraft group caused the fleet to lose more than one-third of its strength. Colonel Yamada did not believe that he could safely escape back to Lushunkou Naval Port with his warships alone.

The China fleet will not let him go, definitely not. As for why the China commander would use such a big deal to deal with the so-called fleet of only fifteen warships, with more than 200 fighters and bombers, Yamada is quite self-aware.

, his own weight is not enough, it should be that for a long period of time, the experiences of the Chinese fishermen in Liaodong Bay aroused the desire of revenge among the commanders of the Chinese army.

Yamada regretted so much that he almost jumped into the sea. When he commanded the fleet, bombarded the Chinese fishing boats, and shot the Chinese fishermen, he never thought that behind the Chinese fishermen, there was still such a huge monster. There was no use regretting it.

I understand that I want to kill them all. Next, it is my flagship's turn.

"Damn it, that guy Akitsu, why haven't you called back? If he had been procrastinating for a while, he would have gone to the bottom of Liaodong Bay to feed fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs. In the end, he wouldn't even be able to find any bones, and his soul wouldn't be able to return to his homeland.

, I can only be a lonely ghost in a foreign country. Thinking of this, Osaka Yamada shivered, and beads of sweat rolled down his face.

"Quickly, send another telegram to Commander Akitsu to state the dangers our fleet is currently encountering!" Yamada shouted.

The communications staff timidly replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, in accordance with your order, within thirty minutes, we have sent eight telegrams requesting tactical guidance to Major General Akitsu, commander of the Third Air Force!"

Colonel Yamada stared, and then shouted: "Has Commander Akitsu called you back?"

The communications staff officer replied very honestly: "So far, we have not received a call back!"

Yamada was furious, and gave the unfortunate communications staff a big mouthful of words in front of him, scolding him fiercely: "Baga! Pig head! Since you haven't received a call back and you continue to send the report, do you still need me to remind you? Tell that guy Akitsu,

If he refuses to save him, I will report the truth to Commander-in-Chief Nanjiro before I die for the empire!"

In just a short time, three more Japanese warships sank to the bottom of the sea amid a burst of fire and thick smoke. Yamada's fleet began to attack the first mixed fleet of the Northern Flying Group. In less than an hour, the combat effectiveness was lost.

More than half.

All the aerial bombs trained and loaded by the bomber unit of the ** Division Aviation Force are targeted at the Japanese Navy's main fleet ships. They are so powerful that they are staggering. In other words, those who want to be bombed are all Japanese.

The navy's warships of 10,000 tons and above are now used to deal with the old Japanese warships of only a few thousand tons, which is tantamount to killing a chicken with a knife. Two or three heavy aerial bombs are enough to send the Japanese warships to the bottom of the sea.

Now, there are five or six heavy aerial bombs falling on the Japanese warships. They were not blown to pieces on the spot. It was Amaterasu who was blessing these Japanese warships. Moreover, the bomber unit also consciously carried out the mission for the purpose of actual combat training.

Each bomber took turns to attack, and after heavy damage, they used low-power bombs, which made the death agony of the Japanese officers and sailors on the warship infinitely longer.

Colonel Lin Zhixian flew a fighter plane over the "True Dragon" many times. The fleet commander's flag hanging on the mast made him realize at a glance that this was the flagship of the Japanese fleet. If it were not for the purpose of attracting the little devils,

To meet the needs of the land-based aviation force, Lin Zhixian would definitely call in a few bombers and bomb them to send this little devil's flagship to the bottom of the sea.

In Wafangdian, Liaodong Peninsula, the base of the Kwantung Army's Third Air Force, the commander, Major General Akitsu, looked at the several telegrams in his hand with a gloomy expression. They were all sent by the so-called Commander of Manchukuo's Bohai Cruise Fleet, Yamada.

.

Rear Admiral Akitsu was hesitant about whether to dispatch fighter jets to rescue Yamada's fleet. Having been stationed in the Liaodong Peninsula for several years, he knew very well that the strength of the Third Air Force's opponent, the Northern Flying Group of the Japanese Air Force, was daunting to him.

The aviation force is the veritable air supremacy in the western Liaoning region and even the entire Liaodong Gulf, including the Liaodong Peninsula.

The number of aircraft of all types alone was several times more than his own. Akitsu believed that the Third Air Force was brave and good at fighting, but he did not dare to compromise its capabilities. Fortunately, in the past few years, except for sporadic conflicts, no large-scale conflicts had broken out.

In air battles, the Third Air Force was often given the first priority to avoid the situation. Major General Akitsu could interpret this as forbearance. In fact, he knew in his heart that this approach was not a fear of war.

Major General Akitsu comforted himself that he was not the only one who adopted such an attitude towards the ** Division troops currently in the Northeast and Liaoxi areas. The entire Kwantung Army was tolerant of the ** Division troops in every possible way. Not long ago, the Army lost several troops in a row.

They were forced to retreat about thirty kilometers across the entire line, but no retaliatory measures were taken by the high command.

If possible, Major General Akijin would never want to have any kind of conflict with the aerial tiger Liu Cuigang across the Liaodong Bay. In the end, he would be the one to suffer. Liu Cuigang's fighter group alone could defeat the Third Air Force.

submerged.

However, it is no longer possible. That guy Yamada, who is causing trouble everywhere in Liaodong Bay with a few broken warships, has pushed himself into a corner that he cannot turn around. Especially the last telegram is full of threats.

If he really doesn't take action, Yamada's fleet will definitely end up as scrap metal on the bottom of the Liaodong Bay. If it goes to the Kwantung Army Headquarters, his responsibility will not be small. Major General Akitsu sighed and shouted: "Come here!

"
