Age of Conquest Reborn

At dawn, the night has not yet faded, and a faint bright white appears in the eastern sky. The Liaodong Peninsula is shrouded in a thin layer of morning mist. The salty sea breeze stirs the mist, and the peninsula has not yet awakened from its sleep.

come over.

Around Fengtian, the Japanese field airports in various places were busy and busy at the moment. The piercing sirens filled the sky above the airport. Teams of Japanese pilots ran out of their dormitories, and fighter jets and bombers lifted the curtains.

, the roar of the motor sounded one after another.

According to convention, before departure, as long as it is not a special emergency mission and needs to take off immediately, each brigade of the Japanese Army Air Force will hold a brief ceremony, with the commander's instructions and encouragement, which cannot be instilled in the already fanatical pilots to become the emperor.

The thoughts of loyalty to His Majesty and the Japanese Empire made their animal blood boil before they took off to fight, completely releasing the desire to kill in their hearts.

Lieutenant General Asada was neatly dressed in military uniform, wearing white gloves, and holding a command knife. He stood upright in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window of the control tower, watching all this with interest. The sound of the pilots shouting slogans even drowned out the roar of the aircraft engine.

Roar, he liked this atmosphere very much. The heroic words of the imperial pilots and the roar of the aircraft engines were intertwined together, like a pleasant symphony, inspiring people and boosting morale!

An hour later, the Major General Chief of Staff of the First Air Force came behind Lieutenant General Asada and said respectfully: "Commander, field airports in various places report that all participating wings have made all preparations before taking off. Waiting for you.

Order!"

Lieutenant General Mata looked away from the airport, with beast-like flames dancing in his eyes, and said sternly: "Order. All fighter planes of the Kwantung Army's First Aviation Squadron, take off immediately!"

Incheon Airport, the Independent Division Aviation Joint Air Command, the dormitory of Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin. These two old guys couldn't bear to be separated. According to their rank and status, they can have separate resting places, but Le Yiqin said nothing.

Liu Cuigang was unwilling to live alone. Liu Cuigang was also happy to be with his old friend. He could exchange opinions at any time. The two of them, who worked until early in the morning, were fast asleep at the moment.

Joint Air Command Staff. Colonel He Zhijun, chief of staff of the Southern Flying Group, and Colonel Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Flying Group, are on duty in the war room. After getting along for many days, the two chiefs of staff with very different personalities have formed a bond as good as the two commanders.

That kind of friendship and perfect coordination between each other.

He Zhijun looked at his watch and said to Dong Ningxuan who closed his eyes to rest: "Ning Xuan, another night has passed. If the little devil hasn't moved yet, we have stayed up all night in vain!"

Dong Ningxuan opened his eyes and stretched, "Zhijun, it will be dawn soon. Just what you said makes me hungry. How about you treat me to breakfast today?"

He Zhijun burst into laughter and said: "You are a landlord. I came all the way from Indochina. You haven't formally invited me to a meal yet. Why are you always thinking about me, a migrant? Why?"

?”

Dong Ningxuan pouted, "Why, the treatment of your Southern Flying Group is better than that of our Northern Flying Group. Let's just say that we are both chiefs of staff and both have the rank of colonel. Is my allowance less than yours?"

"Report!" He Zhijun was about to retort when a sudden report interrupted the joke between the two people. "Come in!" He Zhijun shouted.

A staff officer hurriedly opened the door and came in, "The two chiefs of staff received reports from ground radar stations in various places. The Japanese military field airport in Fengtian and the surrounding field airports all discovered that a large Japanese military aircraft group took off and took off, and all directions were concentrated in the south.

direction, the radar station is verifying the number and types of Japanese combat aircraft. Preliminary statistics show that the number of Japanese combat aircraft dispatched this time is about 1,300!"

Dong Ningxuan jumped up and shouted: "Move out in full force! This is the first aviation team of the Kwantung Army of the little devil out in full force!"

He Zhijun asked the staff officer, "Did all ground radar stations detect Japanese aircraft taking off?"

The staff officer replied: "Yes, ground radar stations in North China, Liaodong Peninsula, and Korean Peninsula have all found the same situation!"

Dong Ningxuan and He Zhijun looked at each other and ran out together, feeling excited in their hearts. "The two commanders are thinking about a decisive battle. Now, the opportunity has come!"

Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang soon came to the war room. The combat staff had already marked the location of the Japanese aircraft group on the map. Le Yiqin said with a tsk in his mouth, "Good guys, mobilize in full force, take out the little devils."

With all the money in the family, Cui Gang, this is a desperate posture!"

"Report!" A combat staff officer came in with a folder, "Report to the two commanders, the ground radar station has confirmed that the Japanese aircraft taking off were a mixed group, including more than 980 fighter jets and 2 bombers.

There are more than a hundred aircraft, divided into three groups, heading towards the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula, and their current locations are in the airspace around Liaoyang south of Fengtian, Benxi in the southeast, and Anshan in the southwest!"

"Huh?" Doubts flashed across Liu Cuigang's eyes, "Yiqin, what do you think?" he asked.

Le Yiqin said: "It's not normal. The number of escort fighters exceeds the number of bombers by more than four to one. I have never seen the little devil escort like this. Usually, the escort ratio of two to one is already the limit. I think

, the Japs bombers of these three wings must be unusual and should be protected intensively. Don’t they have any special purpose?”

Liu Cuigang's suspicion was based on a calm mind, careful analysis and judgment, while Le Yiqin's suspicion was entirely an instinctive intuition based on his understanding of the Japanese air force after a long period of bloody battles in the air.

There must be a reason for any abnormality. The Little Devil has seen countless mixed fleets before, but this is the first time he has seen such a lineup. He cannot help but be suspicious.

Liu Cuigang nodded. The two of them felt the same way. "The old way of fighting is to attack the bombers first!" he said.

Le Yiqin was happy and said: "We both want to go together again. No matter what the little Japanese bombers come to do and bomb our blocking line, that's for sure. Once they hit, the real intention of the little Japanese bombers will be revealed.

Give the order!"

Liu Cuigang's face turned serious, and he said to He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan: "Order, the fighter force in the North China Air Patrol Area will fight against the Japanese mixed fleet in the direction of Anshan, the fighter force in the Shandong Peninsula Air Patrol Area will fight against the Japanese mixed fleet in the airspace around Liaoyang, and the Japanese mixed fleet in the Korean Peninsula Theater.

The fighter force will fight against the Japanese mixed fleet in the airspace around Benxi, and the naval carrier-based aircraft force will strengthen its vigilance towards Japan's homeland!"

"All three fighter groups must carry auxiliary fuel tanks and set the air combat battlefield from Gaizhou to Andong. In addition, all bomber units have entered a first-level combat readiness state and are waiting for orders from the joint air command!"

He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan quickly issued Liu Cuigang's order to the Independent Division Aviation Fighter Regiment, which had been waiting for a long time. More than 1,800 fighter jets roared into the sky from field airports in various places and rushed towards the war zone.

On the map, the positions of the three Japanese aircraft groups were constantly moving towards the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula. However, Liu Cuigang was not nervous. Although the take-off distance of the Japanese aircraft groups to the air combat area was very short, they needed to cover the bombers, so they could not fly very fast.

.

Le Yiqin stretched out his thumb and said to Liu Cuigang: "That's cruel! After killing the first aviation team of the Kwantung Army, are we going to blow up the little Japs on the ground?"

Liu Cuigang was very happy and replied: "Then it depends on you. If you can fight smoothly, I really want to do this to reduce the pressure on the ground blocking troops!"

Le Yiqin laughed, "It's my turn to go into battle!" Liu Cuigang stretched out his one arm, hugged him vigorously, and said softly: "Be careful!"

Le Yiqin curled her lips indifferently and strode out. Liu Cuigang said to a staff officer: "Immediately send a telegram to the division commander. At dawn today, the Japanese army dispatched more than 980 fighter jets and more than 200 bombers to attack me.

The blocking force in the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula is conducting a large-scale air attack, and the aviation fighter force has taken off to fight. Please remind all units to pay attention to air defense!"

The fighter group commanded by Le Yiqin was the first to arrive in the airspace around Anton. On his airborne radar screen, dense red dots appeared. Le Yiqin's group was now the strongest, with thirteen

A fighter regiment with nearly 800 fighter jets. On the command channel, he contacted the commanders of the fleets taking off from the Shandong Peninsula and North China and clarified the mission. Then, he discovered that the distance between the three Japanese fleets was

is not far away.

Le Yiqin's eyes rolled a few times, and a battle plan came to mind, and he immediately issued an order: "The 1st to 4th Regiments, rush to the airspace in the direction of Anshan immediately, the 5th to 8th Fighter Regiments, rush to the airspace immediately

In the airspace around Liaoyang, your mission is to disrupt the Japanese air formation before the other two fleets arrive. Remember, it is not necessary to intercept, but to harass!"

Tens of minutes later, air battles started in three different airspaces. Le Yiqin's move exceeded the expectations of Lieutenant General Asada, the commander of the Kwantung Army's 1st Air Force who was stationed in Fengtian and commanded the air battle. The air battle battlefield he set

, is in Liaodong

In the central and even southern parts of the peninsula, not in the airspace around Fengtian, if a bomber equipped with special poison gas bombs was shot down near Fengtian, the poison gas bombs on the plane would not be able to distinguish between the common people of Manchuria and the soldiers of the Imperial Army.

As a commander, he might also be poisoned, which would be a big joke. Fortunately, the number of fighter jets of the independent division intercepted was at a disadvantage. He issued an order: "Escort the fighter group, do not entangle, in order to defeat or expel it."

Mainly enemy aircraft, the bomber group continues to fly to the planned bombing area!"
