Age of Conquest Reborn

In the airspace near Incheon, the Mokpo airspace, and the airspace between Incheon and Mokpo on the Korean Peninsula, the air battle was divided into three battlefields, and the fight was endless. At the Mokpo battlefield, with the arrival of the independent division's reinforcements, the mixed air battle commanded by Colonel Kimura

The aircraft fleet was caught in a tight siege, rushing left and right, but still could not escape the interception and killing of the independent division fighters. As their own fighters and bombers, one after another, they were either blown into pieces in the air, or plunged into the sea.

, Colonel Kimura was desperate.

On the battlefield near Incheon, Tang Yunfei commanded the remaining sixty or so carrier-based fighter jets, which mixed with a Japanese fighter wing and mixed with a Japanese bomber wing. They flew up and down and fought like crazy.

The most intense one was the air battle between Mokpo and Incheon. On their way to reinforce Mokpo, three Japanese fighter groups were intercepted and killed by four fighter regiments of the Independent Division Aviation Corps. Hundreds of fighter jets from both sides began to fight each other.

, because they were all fighter jets, the air battle was extremely fierce.

In the airspace of the Sea of ​​Japan, a strong versus weak interception was taking place. The second echelon reinforcement aircraft of the Independent Division Aviation were all used by Le Yiqin to cut off the retreat of the Japanese Korean Peninsula Combined Air Force and use him to attack the enemy.

Old man Liu Cuigang said, "Since we are making dumplings, we might as well make the dumpling skins thicker!"

The wrapper of this dumpling is not only thick, but also super thick. More than 600 fighter jets formed an upper and lower three-tier attack formation. Suddenly, Major General Sato, commander of the Japanese Korean Peninsula Joint Air Force, commanded the three evacuated bomber wings.

, in front of a fighter wing.

Major General Sato's face suddenly turned pale. Stars were flying in front of his eyes. He was so shocked that he almost fainted. According to the information provided by various battlefields, there were more than 200 Independent Division fighter jets in the direction of Mokpo. In the airspace between Mokpo and Incheon,

Nearly 500 independent division fighter jets were attacking three of their own fighter wings. More than 600 independent division fighter jets appeared in front of them.

In total, not counting the carrier-based aircraft of the Independent Division, there are more than 1,300 Independent Division fighter jets to deal with our own aviation fleet. The behemoth of the Independent Division's Northern Flying Group finally showed its sharp fangs. Thanks to the Independent Division Aviation

Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Flying Group, thought that Major General Sato didn't know whether it was luck or sadness. However, one thing he knew very well was that there was no way that all the fighter planes of the Imperial Korean Peninsula United Air Force would survive today.

Major General Sato's eyes flashed with despair and fierceness, "Air warriors of the empire, the enemy we face is unprecedentedly powerful. I order, whether it is a fighter or a bomber, to hold on to the idea of ​​breaking through and fight with these hateful Chinese

Pilots, fight to the death, air warriors of the Japanese Empire, fear no enemy, attack!" He gave the order in a hoarse voice, not forgetting to encourage him.

After issuing the order, Major General Sato took the lead, leading his wingmen with an attitude of never returning. He rushed towards the fighter group commanded by Le Yiqin, followed by more than 200 Japanese fighter jets and bombers.

Le Yiqin looked at the movements of the Japanese fighter jets, smiled contemptuously, and popped out the word "hunt!" It was neither a usual attack nor the most military terminology. He used "hunt".

Two words, in his opinion, the Japanese fleet, most of which were bombers, was a group of prey waiting to be slaughtered.

"Formation attention, the battle will be over within ten minutes!" Le Yiqin added. However, what made him regretful was that there were obviously more wolves than meat. No matter what he did, it was not his turn as the commander to personally take charge of the battle.

, he could only sit in the command position and watch with eager eyes the pilots rushing towards the Japanese mixed fleet.

The sky was suddenly filled with the trajectories of machine gun bullets, and there were "click, click, click!" shooting sounds everywhere. Ten minutes later, no more Japanese combat aircraft could be seen in the airspace over the Sea of ​​Japan.

There was a faint cloud of smoke, but everything was as usual on the sea. Hundreds of Japanese fighter jets and bombers were buried in the turbulent Sea of ​​Japan. In the short aerial process, there were not even Japanese pilots who parachuted.

Commander Sato's plane was smashed into countless pieces by the volley. His plane had a clear commander's logo. It was very unfortunate that because of this logo, Major General Sato became the target of special attention. There were four independent divisions.

The fighter jets formed a crossfire and surrounded Major General Sato's plane. The flying machine gun bullets were like several huge scissors, severely crushing Major General Sato and his plane.

It is said that after the air battle, the four pilots had a dispute over who was the first to blow up the little devil's air commander's plane. The lawsuit finally went to Le Yiqin, who said a few words.

, the argument was immediately extinguished, "Hey! They are all promising! How dare you fight for this honor if you fight four of them? If we fight one on one, I will give you credit!"

At the end of the ten-minute air battle, Le Yiqin issued an order: "Formulate immediately. The first to fifth regiments will rush to the air battle battlefield between Mokpo and Incheon. The Little Japanese fighter jets of those three wings must be given to me.

Bao Yuan'er, the other regiments, follow me to support the carrier-based aircraft units!"

At about nine o'clock in the morning, a large-scale air battle of unprecedented scale ended. The Japanese Allied Air Force on the Korean Peninsula was eliminated. From the commander, Major General Sato, no one escaped. The air battle lasted more than five hours. For this victory,

The fleet's carrier-based aircraft units paid a huge price.

Tang Yunfei's fighter plane slid down lightly on the aircraft carrier's flight runway. He jumped out of the fighter plane tiredly and stood on the deck, watching the carrier-based fighter jets landing one after another, but he knew that among them, there were forty-eight.

There was no way to come back. Together with the brave pilots, their souls returned to the blue sky of the Korean Peninsula. Of the forty-eight carrier-based aircraft pilots, not a single one survived parachuting. This shows how intense and cruel the first phase of the air battle was.

Tang Yunfei could name these forty-eight pilots. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said in a low voice: "Immediately report the results of the air battle and the casualties of our carrier-based aircraft units to the fleet headquarters!"

After finishing speaking, he walked heavily back to his cabin, and immediately closed the cabin door tightly. The several staff officers following him looked at each other, but they all made a tacit understanding and did not disturb the commander.

The sky over the Korean Peninsula returned to calm. It seemed that the fierce battle between nearly two thousand combat aircraft from both sides just now was like a dream. Le Yiqin ordered the two reinforcements of the fighter formations to begin their return.

In Mokpo, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, commander of the independent division fleet, received the telegram from the carrier-based aircraft command headquarters. He was silent for a moment and said to the chief of staff, Major General Xin Xiguo: "Xiguo, the loss of carrier-based aircraft is beyond my expectation, but

, This is not a bad thing. Our pilots must go through cruel battles to grow up. Please pay attention to the Qingdao Naval Aviation Academy. The outstanding students who graduated in September will immediately be added to the carrier-based aircraft force!"

General Xin Xiguo wrote down the commander's instructions one by one. After a pause, Tang Qiuquan asked inadvertently, "Commander of the carrier-based aircraft, Lieutenant Colonel Tang Yunfei, has he submitted a battle report summarizing the experience and lessons learned in this air battle?"

Xin Xiguo shook his head and said: "Commander, the air battle has just ended, and the losses of the troops are so great. I think Yunfei must still be immersed in pain. He is not in a hurry anyway. It will not be too late to ask him to submit it tomorrow! I

Look into this matter personally!"

Tang Qiuquan's face immediately turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "This is not a reason. After the battle, a commander does not sum up the combat experience in time, but hides aside and sheds tears. What is it like? Xiguo, you use the fleet to

In the name of the command, the Carrier Aircraft Command is ordered to submit the summary report of the air battle between Mokpo and Incheon to the Fleet Command before five o'clock this afternoon!"

Xin Xiguo opened his mouth, obviously dissatisfied with the commander's inhumanity, but when he saw Tang Qiuquan's cold expression, he swallowed the words he spoke, sighed secretly, and left the tent.

As soon as Xin Xiguo left, Ma Chaoyang came in and said happily: "Commander, this air battle was extremely exciting! Even our ground troops knocked down seven or eight Japanese fighter jets. Incheon Airport also called

According to the report, the airport has not suffered much damage and can be put into use as expected. Liu Cuigang’s air defense brigade is really a tough hand, but it didn’t let hundreds of Japanese planes take advantage!"

"We have won a big victory in the sky, so let's not be idle on the ground. I suggest that the troops launch an attack immediately!" Ma Chaoyang said eagerly, obviously stimulated by the great victory in the air battle.

Tang Qiuquan smiled slightly and said: "Simmer slowly. Who cares about the heat? You have to give Tanaka time to add troops to the Mokpo battlefield. The Japanese army's hope of regaining air supremacy is completely shattered. There is no hope in the air. Tanaka is willing to

We will definitely send more troops to Mokpo again. Without controlling the air, the Japanese army will definitely not dare to send more troops to Mokpo in broad daylight with great fanfare. I think they will take a day off today and launch an attack at dawn tomorrow! Chaoyang, what do you think?"

Ma Chaoyang smiled naively and replied: "You are the commander of the theater, so you can decide. I don't have any objections. That's right. Giving the little devil a chance to add troops to the Mokpo battlefield is in line with our purpose of fighting a war of attrition. Otherwise,

, the two little Japanese divisions opposite who were beaten until they were half breathless are obviously not fat enough! There are more wolves and less meat, they are not worth a bite from our ten brigades!"

Tang Qiuquan laughed and was overjoyed by Ma Chaoyang's very vivid metaphor. Just in time, Xin Xiguo came back and said to him: "Xiguo, please immediately report the situation of today's air battle and the attack on the Japanese army's Mokpo defense line at dawn today.

Reported to the division, the war situation on the Korean Peninsula is under control!"
