Age of Conquest Reborn

At this point, Tang Qiuquan paused, pondered for a while, and then corrected: "It's not shooting down, but driving away. We must drive away our troop carrier formation, and we must make the Japanese reconnaissance and patrol planes believe that this is a

A chance encounter!”

"Also, order the submarine detachment, also centered on the troop carrier formation, to expand the warning range, especially in the direction of Sumatra Island, to ensure that the Japanese Navy's submarines cannot smell any of us!" Tang Qiuquan then ordered.

After pondering for a while, Tang Qiuquan issued another order: "Immediately send a telegram to Wu Zhenjiang, commander of the Eastern Indian Ocean Cruise Area of ​​the Southern Flying Group, to order all land-based fighter units at the Chagos Islands base to enter a state of first-level combat readiness and be ready to take off at any time.

Fight! The ground radar station focuses on monitoring the Japanese Fifteenth Air Force on Sumatra Island. Likewise, just drive away the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft!"

Xu Mangen quickly recorded the order and repeated it accurately. After saluting the two people, he quickly left.

Tang Qiusheng was always paying attention to all this. When Xu Mangen walked away, he asked with surprise: "Qiuquan, why is there still a submarine force?"

Tang Qiuquan explained: "Although the main fleet of the Japanese Navy is located on the east coast of the United States, there is a naval base in Gibas, Sumatra, which is part of the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet. There are not many surface ships.

, can’t make big waves, but there is a submarine unit of the Japanese Navy in the Gibas base, which sneaks into the East Indian Ocean from time to time!"

"When the British and American Allied Forces and the little devils were fighting inextricably on the Australian battlefield. We were responsible for delivering supplies to the Australian Allied Forces, and the little devil's submarine force tried to destroy the sea lines of communication. They got through with these bastards.

Many times!"

Tang Qiusheng suddenly became nervous and asked: "With such a huge maritime formation, wouldn't it be easy for us to be detected by Japanese Navy submarines?"

Tang Qiuquan scratched his head in embarrassment. He really didn't know how to explain all this to his cousin. The so-called "every line is like a mountain, right?"

"Brother Qiu Sheng, to put it simply, my submarine force has formed a huge net on the seabed of the sea areas we pass through. Our submarines are equipped with radar functions that far exceed those of the Japanese. Therefore, we can use the Japanese submarines to

.Block us out of the range where our troop transport formation is discovered, and sink them!"

"In addition, in the battle plan you formulated, regarding the covert approach to Australia, the troop transport formation and escort fleet sailed from the extreme edge of the East Indian Ocean based on my suggestion. Although this route is far away, it may be possible.

Avoid the range of the Japanese land-based reconnaissance aircraft! Now that you are prepared, what are you worried about?"

Tang Qiusheng smiled and said: "I'm relieved now. Thank you very much for your suggestion!"

"Let's go, brother Qiusheng, it's time to have breakfast. I specially told the cooks to prepare more generous meals. You can also try the food of our navy!" Tang Qiuquan said to his cousin with a smile, "It's better than the food of the army.

!”

Tang Qiusheng, who had nothing to worry about, relaxed and said to his cousin without joking: "I have known for a long time that most of the division's funds are spent on the navy and aviation. Xiaoqiu has complained to me more than once.

, saying that the navy is really a bottomless pit that can never be filled!"

"Uncle Quan, the director of our logistics department, nags me every time he returns to Yangon, saying that your naval fleet spends the most money. Why don't you see how considerate he is? It's like he's cutting off his flesh!"

"Hahaha!" The two brothers laughed and walked side by side to the warship's restaurant. As they walked, Tang Qiuquan defended himself, "Brother Qiu Sheng, Uncle Quan has been stingy for half his life. Ever since we met him in the Northeast,

That’s it, I’m used to being always short of money!”

"However, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang's air force are also big spenders! Why aren't Uncle Quan's eyes focused on the air force?"

"You don't know, Le Yiqin and Liu Cuigang, when they see Uncle Quan, they are like a mouse seeing a cat. Every time Uncle Quan sees one of them, he curses him as a prodigal!" Tang Qiusheng shook his head.

Said with a smile.

The sky is already bright, and a red sun shoots out from the eastern sky, dyeing the vast sea of ​​the East Indian Ocean with a layer of pale gold. The waves surging on the sea are sparkling, like countless leaping golden snakes. Watch the sun from a high altitude

It's a wonderful feeling even more.

However, for Captain Kubota of the 3rd Squadron of the 15th Air Force and the 3rd Reconnaissance Air Force of the Japanese Army Air Force stationed in Sumatra, the magnificent sunrise over the sea is monotonous and boring.

When the sun rises on the sea, I don’t even bother to take a second look.

Since the Fifteenth Air Force stationed in Sumatra, Captain Kubota, as a reconnaissance aircraft pilot, has been flying the reconnaissance aircraft from the base on time almost every day at this time except for bad weather, and then headed for the Chagos Islands.

It is a routine flight for reconnaissance in the direction!

As for the Andaman Sea to the north, there was a ferocious tiger squatting in the airspace controlled by the Southern Flying Group of that division's aviation force. It was known as the restricted area of ​​the imperial aviation force. The madman-like commander of the China aviation force commanded the tiger and ate it.

There are several air fleets in the empire, so there is no place where any aircraft of the Fifteenth Air Force would dare to set foot!

Sometimes, Captain Kubota is very envious of those fighter and bomber pilots. They can stay in the field airport doing nothing all day long. After eating and drinking, those energetic guys can go out to find beautiful girls, or...

Let’s do something more exciting, just grab a local woman and take her to the airport, have fun with her for a while, and then let her go.

To be fair, Captain Kubota would never think that local women with dark skin and short stature are better than women from the Empire. If possible, of course it would be most comfortable to sleep with a gentle, fair-skinned and soft-skinned Imperial woman, but the Air Force's

Military discipline does not allow it for junior officers to have local women around them.

Only those officers can take the imperial women with them and serve them day and night. It just so happens that Captain Kubota is one of those who has not been able to touch the bodies of local women for almost a year. Therefore, local women have become a hot commodity!

Captain Kubota looked at the instrument panel. He had reached the farthest airspace for normal reconnaissance flights. If he went further, he might encounter China fighter jets on the Chagos Islands. By then, he was not sure whether he would be able to fly back.

Airports in Sumatra.

In normal times, Captain Kubota would definitely turn around and return without thinking, fly back along another route, and complete the day's reconnaissance mission. However, today, he didn't know what the evil wind was, or it was a whim. He had a strong feeling.

Out of curiosity and impulse, he went further towards the Chagos Islands, a hundred kilometers deeper, or even further. He didn't believe that he was so unlucky that he happened to encounter a Chinese fighter patrol?

Just do it as soon as you think about it, "Kitamura-kun, do you want to take a trip around the Chagos Islands occupied by the Chinese?" He said to his deputy with an excited tone.

Second Lieutenant Kitamura, who was flying another reconnaissance plane, suddenly trembled with fright and hurriedly called: "Your Excellency, Squadron Leader, the brigade has regulations that the reconnaissance range ends here and must not go deeper to avoid accidents!"

"What are you afraid of?" Captain Kubota said nonchalantly: "Kitamura-kun, take a risk, otherwise, today's routine reconnaissance will be too boring!"

At the Chagos Islands Navy and Air Force Base, within the ground air command, Colonel Wu Zhenjiang, commander of the Eastern Indian Ocean Cruise Area of ​​the Division's Southern Flying Group and commander of the Navy and Air Force Base, was yelling on the phone with blazing eyes, "What the hell! Then!"

Where did the two little Japanese reconnaissance planes come from? Why haven’t they been detected by ground radar before?”

"What a coincidence, the heading is still heading towards our troop transport formation and escort fleet! Did the little devil's reconnaissance plane discover something, so it went against the norm and approached for further reconnaissance?"

The Major Commander of the Ground Radar Station was so trained by Wu Zhenjiang that his forehead was sweating. He said very aggrievedly: "Commander, it is not the problem of the ground radar. The Japanese reconnaissance plane has never been so close to our base before.

My analysis is that it should be an accident, otherwise, according to the usual practice, the Japanese reconnaissance plane should return quickly at this moment!"

"Strict surveillance by radar!" Wu Zhenjiang said simply, then put down the phone with a bang and walked around the room a few times. He knew very well that this was to ask Commander Tang of the Fleet for instructions again. It would definitely be too late, and it would be thirty at most.

In minutes, the huge formation of troop carriers and convoys would be exposed to the eyes of Japanese reconnaissance planes!

The best solution is to kill these two Japs reconnaissance planes, but Fleet Commander Tang’s order is to expel them, and he cannot violate the order.

This is an absolutely unexpected situation. Wu Zhenjiang has been at the Chagos Naval and Air Force Base for several years. The Japanese reconnaissance planes on the opposite island of Sumatra have never dared to get so close, and they also come and go in a hurry, like rabbits afraid of being beaten.

, they turned around and ran back when they were far away. Today, these two reconnaissance planes of the little devils came over like they were possessed by evil spirits!

"What a fucking evil!" Wu Zhenjiang muttered. Time waited for no one. He gritted his teeth and ordered: "The First Squadron of the Third Battalion of the Fifth Fighter Regiment, which is patrolling in that direction, immediately surrounded them and captured these two aircraft.

Kill the little devil’s reconnaissance plane for me!”

More than twenty minutes later, the reconnaissance plane flown by Captain Kubota and his subordinate, Second Lieutenant Kitamura, had flown more than 100 kilometers closer to the airspace of the Chagos Islands. At this distance, the possibility of encountering a Chinese patrol fighter became extremely high.

Infinitely, Lieutenant Kitamura followed behind, with cold sweat pouring down his face.

Captain Kubota also felt that flying further would be very dangerous. Besides, his curiosity was satisfied and he could not take any more risks. He was about to turn the plane around when suddenly his eyes widened in shock.
