Age of Conquest Reborn

Le Yiqin's Banda Sea campaign plan was divided into five attack waves. The first round of land-based attack aircraft groups consisted of more than 500 Qingyishui fighter jets, which flew from Irian Island and Sulawesi Island.

The main purpose of taking off from the airport was pure fighter jets. The purpose was to destroy the Japanese carrier-based aircraft and weaken the carrier-based aircraft group, the sharp knife of the combined fleet, to the greatest extent. Moreover, it was a realistic version of wheel warfare tactics.

The second wave of attacks was still dominated by a mixed fleet of land-based fighters and bombers from the Southern Flying Group. The fighter formations were responsible for attacking the remaining Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and at the same time, they covered the bomber groups attacking Japanese warships.

The third wave of attack is the most deadly. The fleet dispatches all carrier-based aircraft, together with the fleet's land-based aviation mixed combat brigade, to carry out the most violent attack on the combined fleet. By then, the combined fleet will have few carrier-based aircraft left.

, will face a unilateral attack by Tang Qiuquan's fleet, and the results can be imagined.

The fourth wave of attacks will be based on the first and second rounds of fighter jets and bombers returning to replenish fuel and ammunition, followed by a second attack. Anyway, the field airports on Sulawesi and Irian Island are far away from the battlefield.

It's very close, and it doesn't take long for the fleet to take off and land. This is also Le Yiqin's biggest advantage.

The fifth wave of attack, the fleet carrier-based aircraft group replenishing fuel and ammunition for the returning fleet, was still the second attack. The main target of the attack was the Japanese warships. After that, the fleet immediately left the hidden waters of the Raja Ampat Islands.

, launched a sea fire strike against the severely damaged Japanese naval combined fleet.

It can be seen from the combat plan that the Southern Flying Group undertook the most arduous first two rounds of offensive tasks. When the fleet and carrier-based aircraft groups attacked, the Japanese Navy Combined Fleet may have lost too much blood and would not have much power to fight back.

Fleet Commander Tang Qiuquan and Deputy Commander Amosiyev did not express any objection to this arrangement of attack sequence. They were full of understanding and gratitude in their hearts, and there was also a trace of melancholy and loss. They knew that this was happiness.

Yiqin used the Southern Flying Group's own huge sacrifice to create fighters for the fleet and reduce the losses of the fleet's carrier-based aircraft.

Tang Qiuquan and Amosiev read the battle plan several times. Amosiev commented in proficient Chinese. "Commander Le's battle plan is vicious enough. Is this China?"

Wheel warfare in ancient military wisdom?”

"Hahaha!" Tang Qiuquan laughed and said: "Deputy Commander, what you said is absolutely right, and the subtle thing is that this kind of wheel battle can continue in a cycle!"

In the early morning, the wind in the Banda Sea stopped. A streak of fish belly white appeared in the eastern sky, indicating that another clear morning was coming. With the dawn, not only the dawn came. There was also Le Yiqin's Southern Flying Group.

, the first wave of land-based attack aircraft.

The shrill siren, accompanied by the twilight of dawn, resounded in the northern waters of the Banda Sea. General Nagumo Tadaichi suddenly woke up. He jumped up from the bed and had just put on his military uniform. Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Matsuda pushed open the cabin.

The door came in and said, "Commander, the radar has discovered that the land-based aircraft group of the China Air Force has attacked the fleet! It is less than a hundred kilometers away from the fleet's location and will be there in more than 20 minutes!"

"What?" General Nagumo Chuichi was surprised and asked eagerly: "How many enemy planes are there? What type of aircraft are they? From what direction are they coming?"

"Preliminary judgment is that they are all fighter jets, and no bombers were found! They came from the direction of Sulawesi Island and Irian Island." Chief of Staff Matsuda replied with a very ugly expression on his face, and an unknown feeling vaguely rose in his heart.

I feel like, why is that Le Yiqin all dispatched with fighter jets?

Hearing that they were all fighter jets, Admiral Nagumo Tadashi's nervous expression immediately relaxed. For the Imperial Navy's warships, the bullets from fighter jets were almost like tickling, and there was no fatal damage at all.

General Nagumo Tadaichi thought for a while and said calmly: "Chief of Staff Matsuda, convey the order, the fleet will immediately deploy in a battle formation, and at the same time, dispatch all carrier-based fighter jets to annihilate the invading China fighter jets!"

"That's inappropriate!" Chief of Staff Matsuda became anxious and tried to dissuade him. He felt that Commander Nagumo's order was simply stupid. In terms of the number of fighter jets dispatched by Le Yiqin, it was by no means all of his troops.

In the three-day war a few months ago, the land-based fleet of the China Independent Division had thousands of fighter jets, but now only more than 500 were dispatched, which was obviously reserved for backup.

Once all the carrier-based fighter jets of the combined fleet are dispatched to fight, even if the invading enemy is completely annihilated, then, after the battle, the carrier-based aircraft will land on the ship to replenish fuel and ammunition, and the land-based China Independent Division Aviation

When a fleet of aircraft attacks, what will the fleet do to fight it?

Chief of Staff Matsuda ignored General Nagumo Chuda's ugly expression and poured out all his analysis and worries.

General Nagumo Tadaichi sneered at this. In his opinion, Matsuda was just a staff officer. How could he command operations? He said unceremoniously: "That's enough! Chief of Staff Matsuda, it is with these considerations in mind that I

Only then will all the fleet's carrier-based fighter jets be dispatched to form an overwhelming advantage over the enemy in order to end the battle as soon as possible and inflict heavy damage to the Chinese land-based aircraft fleet!"

"As for what you are worried about, it is simply unfounded. Our combined fleet has hundreds of warships and possesses powerful anti-aircraft firepower. Can Chinese fighter jets easily attack the aircraft carrier located in the core area of ​​the fleet? What nonsense! Execute the order.

Well, if you have any objections to my orders again, I will immediately change you to a chief of staff!"

Chief of Staff Matsuda's face was frighteningly pale. In those three days of air battles a few months ago, the combined fleet was stronger than it is now. Commander Yamamoto was still in command, but he could not avoid being defeated by Le Yiqin's land-based fleet.

Air defense fire network.

Chief of Staff Matsuda couldn't figure out why Commander Nagumo could be so stubborn and unwilling to listen to any opinions. It was a taboo for military strategists to reveal all their cards after the initial contact with the enemy. But he knew that no matter what he said,

None of them have any effect. This is so different from Commander Yamamoto!

Without saying a word, he walked out of the command cabin with staggering steps. Chief of Staff Matsuda silently mourned for the Combined Fleet in his heart. The moment he walked out of the cabin, he heard Commander Nagumo's rough voice, appointing the Combined Fleet to combat operations.

Major General Watanabe served as the interim chief of staff. He knew that from this moment on, he was an outsider in this battle.

More than 900 Japanese carrier-based fighter jets took off from the decks of more than a dozen aircraft carriers, split into two groups, and attacked the Southern Flying Group fighter groups respectively.

Ground radar stations located on several islands, as well as the airborne radar of the first wave of attacking aircraft groups, immediately reported the situation to the command headquarters. At first, Le Yiqin was stunned, then laughed wildly and shouted:

"What a desperate posture! Nayun Zhongyi, an old Japanese devil, is making a fool of himself. I'm worried that you won't give up all your money!"

Le Yiqin rushed to the intercom in a few steps and said, "Attention, commander of the first round of attack aircraft group, the Japanese carrier-based fighter jets are dispatched in full force, and the number is already more than double ours. According to the plan, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group will be used as much as possible."

Lead it farther away! The further away, the better!”

General Nagumo held up his telescope, hoping to see the Imperial carrier-based fighter jets pouring out of the sky to attack the independent division's land-based air battles. However, he was disappointed. The seemingly menacing China fighter jets had just fought with him.

The carrier-based aircraft group came into contact and began to turn around and flee into the distance.

"Huh?" General Nayun frowned slightly and murmured in his mind: "What the hell is that Le Yiqin who was so boasted by Matsuda doing? He came to attack aggressively and fled as soon as the battle started."

However, General Nagumo Chudai was also an experienced commander. He instinctively realized that there might be a conspiracy, so he said to the temporary chief of staff, Rear Admiral Watanabe: "Watanabe-kun, order the commander of the carrier aircraft group not to pursue enemy aircraft.

Too far, return in time!”

The order was issued quickly, but the actual situation of the air battle was not under the control of Admiral Nagumo. The Japanese carrier-based aircraft group pursued for a while, but when they saw that they could not catch up with the independent division fighters that were desperately fleeing, they received an order to return in time, so they turned around and prepared.

Returned.

What made these Japanese carrier-based pilots extremely angry and furious was that those Chinese fighter pilots were all scoundrels. Seeing that they were about to return home, they immediately turned around and started attacking. Of course, the Japanese pilots would not miss it.

If you get more opportunities, fight them immediately.

After such repeated entanglements, the Japanese pilots fired real fire, and the air combat battlefield gradually moved away from the location of the combined fleet. Later, the fighter pilots of the independent division stopped running away and began to fight hard. But at this time, the Japanese pilots discovered that,

The fuel of my own fighter plane, including the return time, was not enough to support a longer air battle. Otherwise, it would not be allowed to land, and it would fall into the sea. In addition, I took advantage of it, so I took turns to cover and started to return.

The Southern Flying Group's first attack fighter group started to return without any further entanglement. Le Yiqin's first attack on the Japanese Navy's combined fleet seemed to have ended in failure, and even the Japanese warships were not able to get in.

"Commander, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft fleet has begun to return, and the results of the first round of attack have been calculated!" Chief of Staff He Zhijun put down the phone and said to Le Yiqin.

"Speak!" Le Yiqin's expression was not very good. He also roughly heard some situations on the air battle battlefield through the intercom. It was quite fierce. Facing Japanese carrier-based aircraft that were more than twice his own, the fleet suffered losses.

There must be some, I just don’t know how many.

"In the first round of attack, we lost 93 fighter jets, damaged more than 120 aircraft, and shot down 85 Japanese carrier-based aircraft!" He Zhijun gritted his teeth in distress and replied.

The muscles on Le Yiqin's cheeks trembled a few times, and she said fiercely: "Order the second wave of attack aircraft to take off immediately! My losses are not in vain!"
