Age of Conquest Reborn

Liu Cuigang's actions were definitely brave enough. At this moment, he was not a group commander commanding more than a thousand aircraft, but more like a brave and fearless warrior, breaking in alone and killing the fighter group of the Kwantung Army's Third Air Force without hesitation.

The commanders of several other fighter regiments who followed Liu Cuigang in the frontal attack broke out in a cold sweat. Oh my god, the opposite was not just a few cats and dogs, but more than 300 Japanese fighter jets. If anything happened to the commander, he would die.

They can't make up for their mistakes. I didn't expect that the boss would be so impulsive!

"First Brigade, immediately follow the commander to attack and cover. If the commander scratches his skin, don't come back!" "Second Battalion, First Squadron, cover! Cover! Never let the commander charge alone!

"Second Squadron of the Third Battalion, speed up and rush in front of the commander. Be sure to cover him!" Several fighter regiment commanders issued a lot of orders to their respective groups in succession.

Following a flurry of orders, the fighter jets following Liu Cuigang already numbered more than a dozen squadrons and more than a hundred fighter jets. Naturally, the first assault wave formed. Liu Cuigang turned around to look at the fighters following him.

The fighter group grinned, "It's done, the attack wave of the frontal assault was driven by itself. The key point is this overwhelming and indomitable momentum!"

In fact, Liu Cuigang didn't want to have a good fight. He hadn't personally killed the Japs' planes in several years. To say that he didn't feel itchy was nonsense. However, in order to prevent the commander from risking his life, the other fighter pilots

,spell

As a result, Liu Cuigang fell behind, watching the fighter jets flying past his plane. Liu Cuigang smiled bitterly and muttered in his heart: "These guys! It's like fighting a battle where you can't win anything."

Like!"

Since his wish to personally charge into the battle failed, Liu Cuigang immediately changed his role back to the commander, pulled the nose of the aircraft, and the fighter jet quickly climbed into the sky, occupying the overall position and commanding the air battle.

The high-power airborne radar clearly displayed the position and situation of the enemy and our aircraft fleets in front of Liu Cuigang's eyes. Judging from the current situation, his own fleet has entered the attack position, while the Japanese fleet has not yet discovered the approaching enemy.

.This is the beauty of radar, coupled with the four fighter groups outflanking it. Liu Cuigang can foresee the result of this air battle.

The commander of the air group of the Kwantung Army's Third Air Force, Colonel Takeshita, commanded the fighter group and was rushing to the area where Manchukuo's Bohai Cruise Fleet was attacked. Colonel Takeshita had just been transferred from the Homeland Air Defense Command to serve as the third officer of the Kwantung Army.

For the position of Chief of Staff of the Air Force, I was previously engaged in staff work, with rich theories and no practical experience at all. Today is the first time to command a fleet of aircraft and perform a combat mission.

Before coming to serve in the Kwantung Army's Third Air Force, Colonel Takeshita had heard of Liu Cuigang, commander of the Northern Flying Group of the ** Division Aviation Force. Together with Le Yiqin, commander of the Southern Flying Group, they were known as "

The two aerial swords of the Chinese demon Tang Qiuli. However, in Takeshita Colonel's view, these are all hearsay and are somewhat exaggerated.

Having served in the imperial world for many years, I have never had the experience of fighting overseas, so I have no way to personally experience the powerful combat effectiveness of the Japanese division troops. In addition, in Japan, whether it is the military or civilians, there is no understanding of the origin of that eastern country.

Having been despised for a long time, Colonel Takeshita was inevitably infected with arrogance and looked down upon the shortcomings of the Chinese people.

This kind of problem is understandable when working in the staff department. On the contrary, it can reflect the spirit of the emperor. However, once the troops are commanded to fight, it often has fatal consequences. This consequence is directly reflected in Colonel Takeshita's command of the air formation.

.

At this time, the fleet of five fighter wings of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army has already approached the war zone. According to normal practice, the formation should be out of formation and enter combat status, ready to face any sudden battle. At the very least, the formation should be ordered

Some of the fighter jets climbed up to seize a favorable position, and Colonel Takeshita's order was, "Each wing must not disperse and maintain a cruising formation!"

Takeshita's orders are understandable during normal security patrols. However, he is rushing to the battlefield and encounters may occur at any time. Takeshita is inexperienced and is the captain of several fighter wings of the Third Air Force.

He is a veteran with many years of experience and a lot of experience. He has suffered a lot during the years of entanglement with the Northern Flying Group. He also knows the terrifying combat effectiveness of the ** Division aviation pilots.

Chief of Staff Takeshita's order obviously puts the formation in a passive position. Once it is attacked by the enemy, it will be caught off guard. A veteran commander couldn't help but remind: "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, the staff believes that we should currently

The formation adopted is to expand the headings of the two regiments in the formation to the left and right wings respectively. One is to expand the warning range, and the other is to protect the safety of both wings of the formation. In addition, it is safe to order one regiment to move forward!

"

It should be said that the suggestion of this regiment commander is the most suitable plan. If Colonel Takeshita adopts such a formation from the beginning, Liu Cuigang's battle will not be so easy to fight. If he wants to completely annihilate or severely damage the Japanese army,

Fighter group is not an easy task.

Colonel Takeshita is not a stubborn person. He also knows that in terms of actual combat experience, he is definitely not as good as these veterans who have fought in Manchuria for many years. Moreover, this suggestion seems to be more perfect. It is the first time to command a fleet and he will follow the rules.

There is no harm.

Colonel Takeshita looked down at the rippling blue sea of ​​Liaodong Bay and the clear sky. He did not feel any danger at all, but he still decided to accept the suggestion. Just as he was about to issue the order, a bunch of small black dots suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

, quickly enlarged in front of his eyes, a group of Chinese fighter jets rushed towards him like falcons. Colonel Takeshita only had time to shout "Enemy attack!" The sky was already covered with enemy fighter jets, and strings of flying ballistics appeared in front of his eyes.

The attack came so suddenly. The first attack wave of the Northern Flying Group was like a heavy and sharp axe, splitting the Japanese aircraft in half and disrupting its formation. Takeshita Colonel's aircraft,

Before I had time to adjust my posture, I was hit by

Several shuttles flew all over the sky, bullets from different directions, and with a "Boom!" sound, they exploded into a ball of fire. In the first round, Colonel Takeshita Satoshi, chief of staff of the Kwantung Army's Third Air Force and commander of the air fleet, was killed, and others

More than a dozen fighter jets were shot down.

Liu Cuigang, who was hovering at high altitude, witnessed the whole process and shouted excitedly, "Okay! Well done! Attack the aircraft group head-on, continue to divide the group of Little Devil aircraft, outflank the aircraft group with both wings, press up as fast as possible, and take advantage of his chaos

, kill him!"

The number of fighter planes in Liu Cuigang's fleet was almost double that of the Japanese fighter group. It was another close-range raid. He first killed the Japanese air group commander. Inadvertently, he carried out a decapitation operation. In addition, the two wings were surrounded, and the Japanese fighter group was immediately trapped.

into chaos.

More than 800 fighter jets from both sides began to fly up and down to fight each other. The clear sky was full of ballistics. From time to time, fighter jets exploded into pieces in the air, or plunged into the sea with thick smoke and flames.

From the beginning, the battle was one-sided.

Major General Qiu Jin, the commander of the Wafangdian base of the Kwantung Army's Third Air Force, began to feel uneasy after the five wings of fighter jets were dispatched. He always had a bad premonition, especially with the Manchukuo Bohai Fleet.

After losing contact.

"Communications staff officer, has Commander Yamada sent a telegram? What is the current situation of the Bohai Cruise Fleet?" This was Rear Admiral Akitsu, who had asked anxiously many times!

The communications staff officer answered truthfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, since we lost contact with the Bohai Cruise Fleet, we have not received any news so far!"

Major General Akitsu suddenly became furious and shouted loudly: "What on earth is that troublemaker Yamada doing? My five fighter wings went to the rescue, but there was no news about him. Who can answer me? He wants to

What to do?"

No wonder Major General Akitsu lost his temper. The rescue fleet had been dispatched, but there was no movement from Yamada. He had no idea what the current battlefield situation was like. How to command the battle? Could it be that five wings of fighter jets were allowed to fly in Liaodong?

Wandering around the bay?

In the office, there was only the roar of Major General Akitsu. A dozen staff officers looked at the furious Commander and remained silent. After a while, a lieutenant general and staff officer said cautiously: "Your Excellency, Commander, the department has made a bad judgment.

, I’m afraid, Commander Yamada’s fleet is already loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise, it is impossible to explain why he did not contact us at the critical moment of the war!”

Rear Admiral Akitsu was startled and instantly understood the joints before and after. This was a trap. It was a trap Liu Cuigang set for himself. He attacked Yamada's fleet just to fish out his own fleet. The fleet had already been dispatched and was close to the battle.

In this area, there was no longer any need for Yamada's fleet to exist. Therefore, Liu Cuigang killed him twenty minutes ago, which was also the time when Yamada's fleet lost contact with him.

Major General Akitsu shouted anxiously: "Quickly, order Chief of Staff Takeshita to lead the fleet back! There's still time!" Now that we know that it is Liu Cuigang's trap, there is no need to escape. Besides, it is meaningless to rescue the Yamada fleet.

.

Another staff officer said dejectedly: "It's too late. Your Excellency, Commander, we just received an emergency telegram from the fleet. Our fleet was in the airspace 200 kilometers south of Huludao and was attacked by the large fleet of the ** Division. Chief of Staff Takeshita has already

Unfortunately, he died for his country. The aircraft fleet and the ** division aircraft fleet are in a fierce battle and cannot leave the battlefield!"
