Age of Conquest Reborn

Le Yiqin's outstretched hand froze there, scratching her head in embarrassment, and muttered dissatisfied: "The teacher is partial, knowing that the two of us are together, but only gave the order to Liu Cuigang, what's going on?"

?" He thought in confusion.

Liu Cuigang was already laughing so hard that he took the telegram from He Zhijun's hand. After reading it, his eyebrows trembled slightly, he handed the telegram to Le Yiqin and said, "Yiqin, there is indeed a battle order.

It was just to cover the retreat of the Marine Corps troops on the Liaodong Peninsula. The division commander said in the telegram that at dawn today, the Japanese army launched a counterattack along the line from Anton to Gaizhou on the Liaodong Peninsula, and used a large number of poison gas bombs during the battle."

"Our troops have suffered heavy losses, with tens of thousands of wounded. Now, nearly 100,000 Japanese troops are pursuing them. The division commander ordered that when the troops safely retreat to the line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan, our aviation force must block the Japanese pursuing troops!"

While listening to Liu Cuigang's brief explanation of the contents of the telegram, Le Yiqin quickly browsed it, raised her head, and said thoughtfully: "Cui Gang, this task is not difficult for us, as long as we dispatch bombers of sufficient size.

and fighter jets, when they see the little Japs, they throw bombs and strafing them, and keep them to make it difficult for the Japs to move forward. However, the command of the division commander specifically emphasizes that the Japs must not be frightened so much that they dare not continue chasing. This is difficult. It is quite difficult.

big!"

Immediately, Le Yiqin felt relieved and said in a nonchalant way: "Master knows people well and knows that I, Le Yiqin, can't do such a clever job. Come on! Cui Gang, you can figure it out on your own and come up with it."

To block the plan, I will just command the fleet to set off!"

Liu Cuigang glared at him angrily, began to think rapidly, and after a few minutes, said to He Zhijun: "Chief of Staff He conveyed the order of the joint air command, the 1st to 4th fighter regiments and the three bomber regiments stationed at Incheon Airport.

, took off immediately, rushed to the airspace of the Liaodong Peninsula, carried out the order of the division commander, and ordered the ground support department to carry ordinary bombs on the bombers! All combat aircraft must carry auxiliary fuel tanks and ground radar stations around Incheon. Strengthen surveillance of Japan's domestic airspace.

."

"Communications department, immediately contact the headquarters of the 4th, 5th, and 6th Marine Corps brigades to communicate with the ground forces and determine the bombing area and scope!" Liu Cuigang issued a series of orders in a clear and logical manner, the most critical of which

The purpose was to make contact with the three brigades of the retreating Marine Corps.

When Liu Cuigang issued the order, Le Yiqin did not interrupt. He knew that the old man was reluctant to send out a fleet of this size, but he knew that a mixed fleet composed of bombers and fighter jets could temporarily prevent the Japanese army from continuing to pursue.

It's absolutely doable. If bullets and bombs are thrown at you, the little devils will have to hide in the air defense, which will waste time.

But with the current situation of the three Marine Corps brigades from Andong and Gaizhou to Zhuanghe and Bayuquan, it would take three or four days at the fastest to carry tens of thousands of poisoned wounded. Combat aircraft cannot always be there.

In the sky, right? If you can’t blow up the little devil until he loses the strength and courage to continue pursuing, this will be difficult!

He Zhijun immediately went out to give the order. A few minutes later, a high-pitched combat alarm sounded in the air, and the airport immediately boiled. The pilots ran towards the fighter jets on the runway, ready to take off at any time. Then, the roar of the engines sounded, and the two-plane formation formed

The fighter jets took off into the sky and quickly disappeared into the blue sky. Then, the huge bombers began to take off.

After a few dozen minutes, the airport returned to calm. Liu Cuigang looked back at the somewhat empty runway and breathed a sigh of relief. At the speed of a combat aircraft, it would not take long to fly across the North Yellow Sea. He said to a staff officer:

"Immediately report to the division commander that our mixed aviation fleet has taken off for the cover airspace, with four fighter regiments and four bomber regiments dispatched!"

At this time, Le Yiqin came over and said: "Old man, you haven't tried your best. There are still two fighter regiments that haven't moved!"

Liu Cuigang looked him up and down and said: "I feel uncomfortable because I didn't let you lead the team. Do you still want to tell the division commander? Are you so relieved about the Japanese aviation force across the Sea of ​​Japan? We have to keep some on hand.

Let’s use our troops, maybe at some point, Japanese fighter jets will come over!”

Le Yiqin was happy, and said eagerly: "I hope that if the little devil has the courage to come here, I can still get a chance to fight. Okay, let's not talk about these useless things. The first wave of aircraft has been sent out. How about you?"

Have a backup plan!"

Liu Cuigang smiled enigmatically and did not say anything. Instead, he took a few pieces of paper and carefully wrote on them quickly. Le Yiqin came over curiously and saw that it read, "Order Qingdao Navy and Air Force Base"

The 5th, 6th, and 7th fighter regiments, and the 5th to 7th bomber regiments must immediately prepare for takeoff operations. It is emphasized that the bombers must carry ordinary aerial bombs, and all combat aircraft must carry auxiliary fuel tanks."

"Order, the 8th to 10th Fighter Regiments at Weihai Field Airport, the 8th and 9th Bomber Regiments at Laiyang Field Airport, the 11th to 13th Fighter Regiments at Laiyang Field Airport, the 10th and 11th Bomber Regiments at Wendeng Field Airport

The 14th to 16th Fighter Regiments, the 12th and 13th Bomber Regiments, the 17th to 19th Fighter Regiments, the 14th and 15th Bomber Regiments at Yantai Field Airport, immediately prepare for takeoff before the war

The preparations are waiting for the command from the empty command, the requirements are the same as above!"

Seeing this, Le Yiqin's eyes lit up. He had already guessed Liu Cuigang's tactics, but he was not finished yet. Liu Cuigang continued to write: "The above orders were issued in order, with an interval of one and a half hours. In addition, the orders

Beiping, Tianjin, Cangzhou, Tangshan, and Qinhuangdao field airports in North China have each deployed two fighter regiments and two bomber regiments to form a mixed fleet on standby, waiting for combat orders from the joint air command!"

"The ammunition and auxiliary fuel tanks carried are the same as the previous order. This order will be issued in sequence after seven o'clock tomorrow morning, with an interval of one and a half hours. This order is from the Independent Division Aviation Joint Command!" Then, sign it.

own name.

Liu Cui just knew that Le Yiqin was watching beside him. After putting down his pen, he tilted his head and asked: "Old man, do you think this arrangement of tactics is good?"

Le Yiqin applauded and praised, "Separate deployment, echelon take-off, relay cover, and layer-by-layer blocking. Each time, about one-half of the combat aircraft from a field airport are dispatched. This not only mobilizes the combat aircraft closest to the battlefield on the Liaodong Peninsula, but also does not use them.

It involves more of our troops, and does not make it difficult for the Japs to pursue them because of the excessive firepower in the air. It’s wonderful, it’s wonderful!”

"Now, the little devil is in trouble. Every time he takes another step, he will leave behind a few corpses without bleeding too much. Cui Gang, I can't do such a delicate job. The teacher still has the foresight."

Ah, you have a keen eye for knowing people. No wonder you always praise you for your cleverness and tricks. I feel bad for you little devil!"

Liu Cuigang glared at him angrily and said: "Go! What does it mean to be cunning? We call it punishment to give full play to the advantages of the aviation force and pay attention to tactics. Do you understand? Since you have no objection, then pass it on to the various units!"

Of course Le Yiqin had no objection. He couldn't come up with such a detailed and sophisticated blocking plan. Liu Cuigang put the pen into his hand and asked, "What are you doing?" Le Yiqin asked confused.

Liu Cuigang said with hatred: "Sign, this interception plan is to be reported to the commander, the Joint Air Command, and I am not the only one!"

"Definitely!" Le Yiqin shook his hands like windmills, "The teacher's order is specifically for you, so I won't interfere with it. If the teacher sees it, yo! There is also Le Yiqin's name.

This guy must have been involved, and he might have defeated your clever plan. The gain outweighs the loss! I won’t sign!”

Liu Cuigang smiled helplessly and did not force him. He called over a staff officer and gave detailed instructions. In this way, a thorough air interception plan was issued to various field airfields of the aviation force in the Shandong Peninsula and North China. In order to

To stop the pursuing Japanese army, Liu Cuigang mobilized 29 fighter regiments, 25 bomber regiments, and more than 1,800 combat aircraft, taking turns to fight. It was a huge feat!

If Lieutenant General Shin Yuemon, commander of the 107th Division of the Japanese Third Army, learned that the independent division aviation had dispatched nearly 2,000 combat aircraft to deal with him, would he feel honored or sad?

The aviation cover fleet has been dispatched, but it will take some time to reach the Anton area of ​​the Liaodong Peninsula. Command three companies to lay a large number of mines and explosives on the main road, the Marine Corps, the Sixth Brigade and one regiment.

Colonel Meng Jianzhu, the commander, has returned to the temporary fortification, which is the position of a regiment with four battalions and one company. After the almost frantic work of the soldiers, a trench has been formed.

The soldiers placed full magazines beside them, within easy reach of their hands. On the entire temporary blockade line, more than 6,000 officers and soldiers stood ready, but in Meng Jianzhu's view, this trench was too far away from the little devil.

Under artillery fire, it cannot hold out for long.

Meng Jianzhu didn't know that a large number of aviation aircraft were flying in. The telegram requesting contact from the aviation joint air command had not yet reached the Sixth Brigade Headquarters. His eyes were fixed on the wide dirt road in front of the fortification.

Next to him, there were several light machine guns forming a firepower point, as well as a dozen soldiers holding hand-cranked ignition devices, squatting beside him, closely watching the regiment leader's every move.

"Go, go, go!" There was a chaotic sound of horse hoofbeats, like thunder, and the ground was trembling slightly. A large number of Japanese cavalry, riding tall horses, appeared in the field of vision of Meng Jianzhu and the soldiers.

The number of Japanese cavalry was so large, and with fierce murderous intent, the horse hooves made the grass fly, and they swept over. He was mentally prepared for the attack. Meng Jianzhu secretly took a breath of cold air and muttered: "Damn! The little devil really made a fool of himself.

Use the cavalry to pursue at full speed, there are at least two regiments of little Japanese cavalry in front of you!"
