Age of Conquest Reborn

The two bad news sent back by the reconnaissance aircraft brigade of the Outer Mongolia Cruise Area of ​​the Northern Aviation Group made Liu Tiehan, the commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign of the Independent Division, and Zhao Yuhe, the acting commander of the directly affiliated corps, very surprised and shocked.

Especially Liu Tiehan, whose face was livid. In the final stage of the Far East Campaign, the results far exceeded his expectations. The planned plan to finally encircle and annihilate the remnants of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force on the Magadan front was disrupted by unexpected circumstances.

What Liu Tiehan didn't understand was how the Japanese assembled so many troop transports in a short period of time. Although they were fishing boats, they couldn't hold up the huge number. They could transport the remaining Japanese soldiers away at once, and the two wings pursued them in a roundabout way.

The troops, the fastest six brigades of the East Point Force, are still about 100 kilometers away from Magadan. In addition, the Japanese fighter group participated in the battle, and the Magadan encirclement and annihilation campaign was likely to fail.

"Yuhe, the development of the war situation has exceeded my expectations. At least, the plan to encircle and annihilate the remaining troops of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force on the Magadan front can no longer be realized. This is my mistake, and I will ask for punishment from the division commander.

, what do you think?" Liu Tiehan said in a low tone to Zhao Yuhe, who also had an ugly face.

Zhao Yuhe raised his head and looked at the livid Liu Tiehan. It was already this time. He didn't want to bring up the old things again. If the deputy division commander had approved his plan to send troops to seize the Magadan port, then at this moment, Magadan was already in the independent division.

Under the control of the troops, even if the Japanese assembled a large number of troop transport ships, what could they do? Maybe they would fight a harvest battle similar to the Battle of Liaodong Bay and capture five or six thousand Japanese fishing boats in one fell swoop.

Zhao Yuhe said calmly: "Deputy Commander, none of us expected that the Japanese could assemble so many troop transport ships in a short period of time. You don't have to blame yourself too much. From Temple Street to Magadan, you have to walk all the way."

, we gave Japan’s Far East Expeditionary Force a clear blow, even if some of them escaped in the end, it wouldn’t be much. The purpose of the Far East Campaign was basically achieved!”

"My opinion is: tightly seize the Japanese troops that can be captured now, annihilate them all, and order the pursuing troops on both wings to continue approaching the front line of Magadan. At the same time, the six brigades directly under the corps responsible for interception also go to Magadan.

If we advance in the direction of attack, even if the Japanese army wants to leave, we can't let them leave easily!"

"Okay! Ke Tian, ​​give the order to the above-mentioned troops immediately!" Liu Tiehan agreed, "At the same time, order Meng Qingpeng, commander of the Outer Mongolia Cruise Area of ​​the Northern Aviation Group, to bomb the Japanese troop transport fleet at any cost. At the same time,

.In the Magadan airspace, attack the Japanese escort aircraft group. If necessary, you can pursue and bomb all the way. The Sea of ​​Okhotsk is big enough, and the corpses of the little devils can't fill it!"

Major General Yang Ketian, chief of staff of the East Point Force, agreed and was about to go out when he was stopped by Liu Tiehan, "Wait a minute Ketian, add these few words to the telegram to Meng Qingpeng, if you feel, Outer Mongolia

The number of fighter jets in the cruising area is less than the number of Japanese fighter jets. You can immediately ask for help from the Northern Flying Group!"

In the Far East, in the eastern part of the Kent Mountains, Khabarovsk, Birobidzhan, Amursk and other places, since the corps directly under the Independent Division inserted directly into the rear path of the Japanese Far East Expedition Force, the original rear airport of the Japanese Far East Expedition Force's Joint Air Force has completely fallen behind.

After arriving at the hands of the troops in the Outer Mongolia patrol area, it became a frontline airport supporting the Far East campaign.

Before receiving the order from the Far East Campaign Command, Colonel Meng Qingpeng, commander of the Northern Flying Group's Outer Mongolia cruise area, had already thought about the number of enemy and friendly fighter jets and the situation in the air combat area based on the intelligence sent back by the reconnaissance aircraft brigade. Outer Mongolia

The cruise area now has eight fighter regiments, nearly 500 fighter planes, five bomber regiments, and more than 300 bombers.

When he was responsible for the air combat mission in the Far East Campaign, Meng Qingpeng commanded these troops to defeat the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force Joint Air Force, almost annihilating the entire army, and then continued to carry out high-intensity and high-density attacks on the retreating Japanese troops.

Bombing, when the order from the Far East Campaign Command arrived at the cruise area headquarters, Meng Qingpeng had just led a mixed formation to land after completing the bombing mission.

Meng Qingpeng felt the pressure on the order from the battle headquarters. The number of fighter jets was less than that of the Japanese fighter jets. In addition, taking off from the field airport in the east of Kent Mountain, the air distance was far greater than the flight distance of the Japanese fighter jets. In terms of stay in the air,

It is definitely not good for you. If it is just an air battle with fighter jets, the difficulty is not great, but all bombers need to be dispatched to escort and air combat at the same time. The number of fighter jets currently available in the outer Mongolian cruising area is obviously far from enough!

Meng Qingpeng knew that the focus of this air battle was not to shoot down many Japanese fighter jets, but to bomb the troop transport fleet transporting the Japanese army and eliminate the Japanese escort aircraft group. "The communications staff will immediately send a telegram to Commander Liu and forward it," he said.

The entire content of the message from the Far East Campaign Command, and at the same time, requesting the Group Command to mobilize six fighter regiments to reinforce our air battle, the sooner the better!"

Meng Qingpeng had a cool head and did not ask for reinforcements. He could not win this air battle with his own troops. On the contrary, it would cause the troops to suffer heavy losses. "Combat staff, immediately issue orders to all field airports, all

Fighters and bombers, take off immediately, target, Magadan airspace!"

In Incheon, Korean Peninsula, at the Independent Division Aviation Forward Command Post, Liu Cuigang handed Meng Qingpeng's telegram to Le Yiqin and said: "Yiqin, Meng Qingpeng has asked for help. There are more than 600 Japanese in the Magadan airspace on the Sea of ​​Okhotsk."

A fighter jet took off from Hokkaido to cover the evacuation of the remnants of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force. It seems that I can only work hard for you one more time!"

Le Yiqin put the telegram on the table and clicked her lips, "Speaking of Cuigang, how did Deputy Commander Liu fight this battle? The Hedong Command and the directly affiliated corps have more than 1.2 million troops. How can they fight against the little Japanese?

How can some of the more than 500,000 people escape?"

Liu Cuigang glared at him and said: "Yiqin, we can't make any comments about the Far East Campaign. Now, Meng Qingpeng needs support. You can lead the team there! It will also save you the whole day of mumbling that there is no battle!"

Le Yiqin said nonchalantly: "I just said this casually, this war, if I can be spared that time, didn't Meng Qingpeng ask for six fighter regiments? I will give him ten, plus five bomber regiments. Order first."

The three fighter regiments that had already been stationed in Vladivostok took off for reinforcements. I took the remaining seven regiments and arrived in the second batch. It is a long way and we have to land at airports in Khabarovsk and other places. I am afraid I will not be able to catch up with the air battle!"

Liu Cuigang teased: "You, Le Yiqin, can't catch up with the war? Stop being so pretentious and tell me, what are your plans?"

Le Yiqin said with a smile: "It's very simple. The flight distance is too far. Except for the three fighter regiments in Vladivostok that can arrive in time, the fleets from other airports cannot arrive at all. Magadan, well, I'll be there

In the airspace of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, to intercept and kill the Japanese troop transports and the escorting Japanese fighter groups, Deputy Commander Liu said in the telegram that he would pursue and bomb them all the way. I will be responsible for escorting the Japanese back to their hometown, and I will take good care of them!"

The Far East battlefield extended from land to sea. The mixed aircraft fleet in the Outer Mongolia cruising area led by Meng Qingpeng arrived in the Magadan airspace more than 40 minutes later than the Japanese escort fighter group. At this time, the remaining troops of the Japanese Far East Expedition Force had already begun to board the ship.

Some fishing boats full of Japanese soldiers have left the Magadan port and sailed into the sea outside the port. Japanese escort fighter jets are hovering in the sky, on alert!

Meng Qingpeng arrived with his team and quickly issued the order to attack. As soon as the two sides met, they started fighting fiercely. Immediately, the Magadan port, from the ground to the air, was filled with gunpowder smoke. A group of bombers in the Outer Mongolia cruising area

, throwing heavy aerial bombs mercilessly at the Magadan port and the troop transport ships on the sea, while the Japanese escort fighter group launched a desperate attack.

The air battle battlefield became fierce. From time to time, Japanese fighter planes, independent division fighters and bombers would plunge into the sea with flames, or explode into pieces in the air. Amidst the rumbling explosions, the air filled the pier.

In the smoke of gunpowder, Prince Zai Ren and his headquarters boarded the largest fishing boat.

The fierce air battle made Prince Zairen shake his heart. He did not expect that the commander of the independent division who was pursuing him would not let him go. The ground infantry could not reach Magadan.

Go to death quickly!

However, judging from the air combat situation, the Imperial Air Force still had the initiative, which made Prince Zai Ren feel at ease. With a loud "Boom!", a huge bomb fell not far from the fishing boat.

The bright white water column rises into the sky, fishing

The ship shook violently. An Independent Division bomber flew past the sky above. Behind it, a Japanese fighter jet spit out several streaks of flame. The Independent Division bomber had black smoke coming out of its fuselage, but it still

Tenaciously maintain flight altitude.

Prince Zai Ren clung to the side of the boat and stared at the sky. He was afraid that if the bomb just missed it by more than ten meters, the fishing boat he was on would immediately turn into pieces.

More than fifty minutes later, three fighter regiments of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division Aviation Force, which took off from Vladivostok, rushed to the Magadan airspace and immediately joined the battlefield. The balance of the battlefield suddenly tilted. The Japanese escort fighter group was at a disadvantage and took this opportunity.

, the independent division bomber group began to bombard the troop carriers on the sea indiscriminately.

The aerial battlefield gradually moved to the depths of the Sea of ​​Okhotsk. Braving fierce bombings, the remaining soldiers of the Japanese Far East Expeditionary Force boarded the fishing boats and desperately left the smoke-filled Magadan port, leaving more than 80,000 wounded lying on the ground.

The cold ground around the dock.
