Age of Conquest Reborn

Le Yiqin did not doubt Tang Qiuquan's judgment. The situation on the battlefield had become very clear. There was an independent division fleet blocking the narrow waterway between Buru Island and Sulabesi Island, running north. The little devil was trying to hit the iron plate.

, so there is only one way to withdraw from the Banda Sea and run back to northern Australia. You kid is not stupid!

"Don't think that it's night time and I can't do anything to you little devil!" Le Yiqin thought coldly that although the Southern Flying Group only has a small number of flight groups that can take off at night, they can still help the remnants of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet.

Defeat, enough blows, and the fleet's night flight fleet, Le Yiqin will turn this night into a killing night!

Le Yiqin decided to go into battle personally and commanded the night flight group to attack. Today's tragic air battle was undoubtedly an extremely torturous day for him who had always personally gone into battle to kill the enemy. Because he was in a command position and could not fly fighter planes into the sky.

He could only watch the sacrifice of his brothers, and he had already been holding a fire in his heart.

"Zhijun, don't persuade me!" Seeing Chief of Staff He Zhijun put on a blocking posture, Le Yiqin blocked his words before he could speak, "Also, after I led the team to attack, the commander

Transfer the power to Fleet Commander Tang!"

After saying that, Le Yiqin turned around and walked out of the control tower. He Zhijun looked at his figure silently, jumped on a fighter plane, then rushed into the night sky, disappeared into the eastern sky, and hurriedly communicated with the fleet headquarters.

At the same time, Colonel Tang Yunfei, deputy chief of staff of the independent division fleet and commander of the carrier-based aircraft group, also rushed into the boundless darkness with fighter jets. Tang Qiuquan stood by the porthole of the command module. Watching one after another.

The night flight took off and he looked very uneasy.

From the bottom of his heart, Tang Qiuquan disagreed with Le Yiqin's approach of continuing to attack the Japanese fleet at night. Anyway, there was enough time. In two or three days, the remnants of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet could not escape the Banda Sea, so there was no need to rush for a while.

?

Including the Southern Flying Group and the fleet's carrier-based aircraft, there are not many troops that can conduct operations at night. If there are losses, the gains will outweigh the losses. But Tang Qiuquan understands Le Yiqin's mood. Just now, he denied the fleet's

The staff officers of the headquarters proposed that, taking advantage of the Japanese fleet's current defeat, the fleet attacked and advanced throughout the night.

Tang Qiuquan believes that this is a risky move. The night is dark and the visibility on the sea is extremely low. It is difficult to identify friendly and enemy targets, and the night attack is of little significance. Furthermore, although the Japanese Navy's combined fleet has been defeated, it still has more than 100,000 troops.

With the warships of the independent division fleet, if the fleet is caught in a tight siege and a chaotic battle breaks out, it is not necessarily known who will suffer greater losses?

Therefore, Tang Qiuquan would not agree with the idea of ​​attacking at night, but it is feasible to dispatch night aircraft. After all, the targets within the attack range are all remaining warships of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet, and there is no possibility of accidental damage. This is why he disagrees

One of the reasons for the fleet's attack was that in the pitch-black night, bombs had no eyes.

On the Banda Sea, the remaining warships of the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, which are eager to withdraw to the north of Australia, have implemented blackout and radio silence. The warships without any lights are like lost monsters in the night, sailing at full speed because they are turning around and returning to the route.

Familiar, there is no possibility of deviating from the direction.

It should be admitted that the Japanese naval combined fleet, under Yamamoto's fifty-six years of training, has a very strong combat effectiveness and tactical coordination ability. Although it suffered heavy losses during the day, it was not in chaos despite the defeat. The retreating warships of each fleet,

Still maintaining an intact formation.

The dark night, in the opinion of several fleet commanders, is a gift from Amaterasu. Taking advantage of the night, the fleet can sail at high speed without having to worry about the bombers of the China Independent Division that may drop bombs overhead at any time. It is far away from northern Australia.

The closer you are, the greater your chances of leaving this damn sea.

But several Japanese fleet commanders thought wrong. They did not expect that night was not the best cover, nor did they expect that the independent division aviation commander Le Yiqin, the commander of the Southern Flying Group, was known as a "militant"

, will not let them go, "fight all night long!" It is not just a casual talk, the Japanese have angered a man who can be called a madman. At this moment, he is commanding a group of night flights to cover up and attack them under the cover of night.

On Le Yiqin's airborne radar screen, small moving black dots appeared one after another, with a cold smile on his lips, "Tang Yunfei, where is the current position of your fleet? Where have they arrived?" he called.

Tang Yunfei's calm voice came over immediately, "Commander Reporter, our fleet is now located in the airspace west of Buru Island. We have twenty minutes to rendezvous with the fleet commanded by the commander!"

"Okay, I am now commanding the fleet to follow the little Japanese warship. After your fleet arrives, we will launch a joint attack!" Le Yiqin said succinctly.

On the Banda Sea, which had been silent for less than two hours, because Le Yiqin commanded the Southern Flying Group's night flight fleet and Tang Yunfei commanded the fleet's night flight fleet to attack, the battlefield became noisy again.

When the bombs were dropped and strings of bullets poured down, the originally dark sea surface suddenly burst into flames.

The anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese warships once again poured artillery shells and bullets into the night sky, making the night sky as gorgeous as a festival fire. Under the night cover, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower fired blindly without a target, but on the dark sea, a

This Japanese warship, which looked like a giant candle, was the best target for night aircraft.

Dawn once again fell on the Banda Sea. Le Yiqin jumped off the fighter plane and felt that all the muscles and bones in his body were about to fall apart. That night, he personally commanded the night flight group and launched continuous attacks. After each return, the fighter planes

He immediately replenished fuel and ammunition and took off again. "Fight all night!" was no joke.

Seeing Chief of Staff He Zhijun running up to meet him with concerned eyes, Le Yiqin cracked her dry and white lips and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhijun, we have had a good fight this night. It is already dawn. Night flight

All the pilots of the aircraft have taken a rest. Now, it is the turn of the boys who have slept all night to take action. They follow the command of Fleet Commander Tang and fight according to the planned plan!"

"I'm going to bed. It's nothing serious. Don't bother me!" With that said, Le Yiqin staggered towards the dormitory. He Zhijun ordered a staff officer beside him: "Quick! Tell the cooking team

People, prepare a breakfast immediately and send it to the commander, and make sure he eats it before going to bed!"

This night was like a nightmare for the Japanese fleet commanders. The fighters and bombers of the China Independent Division were like maggots on the tarsus, chasing and fighting all night long, one after another.

The fierce attack almost destroyed the nerves of all the imperial officers and sailors in the fleet. The Japanese commanders just couldn't figure it out, "Are China's pilots made of iron? No need to rest?"

That night, the combined fleet, which was completely beaten, paid a heavy price again. More than a hundred warships were abandoned on the Banda Sea. Among them, they lost their ability to sail independently and became helpless floating on the sea.

There were more than fifty iron knots, and the others were all sunk.

The first ray of dawn in the eastern sky shone through the porthole into Tang Qiuquan's command cabin, casting a golden light on his short-bearded face. "Order, the fleet will immediately deploy in battle formation and move forward at full speed!"

More than an hour later, the Independent Division fleet arrived at the sea area where the fierce battle was fought yesterday. Tang Qiuquan, who was standing in the command position, widened his eyes in surprise and raised his telescope again in disbelief. Once again, he believed that it was him.

An unforgettable scene.

On the distant sea where all the rays of dawn shone, four Japanese aircraft carriers with mottled battle scars floated quietly on the sea. If the four giant beasts were beaten to death, their huge bodies still showed their past.

of majesty.

"Deputy Commander, what do you think?" Tang Qiuquan put down his telescope and asked Lieutenant General Amosyev, the deputy commander of the fleet, who came to the command module because he learned that four Japanese aircraft carriers were floating on the sea with bruises and bruises.

.

Amosyev seemed to be in very good spirits. He smiled and answered humorously, "Commander, if you say that this is a gift from God to our fleet, do you believe it?"

"A gift?" Tang Qiuquan was stunned for a moment, then laughed happily and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, it is a gift, and it is an ownerless thing now! Those who are lucky can get it. I think you and I are just so lucky.

What a man!" Both of them laughed.

The dozen or so staff officers in the command cabin were all puzzled as they watched the two commanders playing riddles and laughing heartily. However, Tang Qiuquan and Amosiev had a clear understanding. Last night, the Japanese army sank and lost its combat power and strength.

The powerful warships, including of course the dozen or so half-disabled aircraft carriers, were abandoned because they would slow down their escape, and they were unwilling to fall into the hands of the enemy, so they simply scuttled themselves.

However, it is obvious that the Japanese army acted on an impromptu basis and arranged the arrangements in a hurry. The work was not done quickly enough. All other aircraft carriers sank to the bottom of the sea. Only these four aircraft carriers escaped sinking to the bottom of the sea. Of course, the aircraft carriers

Japanese sailors

They must have all been evacuated. Don't look at the Japanese shouting about the spirit of Bushido all day long. Who would seek death if they had a chance to survive? Now, these four aircraft carriers must be empty. That's why Tang Qiuquan said they were ownerless.

.

Even though they are four half-battered aircraft carriers and were damaged by the Japanese army, they are still in general. As long as they are dragged back and repaired properly, and appropriately transformed, with the strong capabilities of the independent division's military industry department, they will be ready within a year at the latest.

After that, the independent division fleet will have four more aircraft carriers, which is very exciting to think about, so the two top commanders of the fleet laughed heartily, as if they had picked up four treasures.

"Order, the Third Squadron breaks away from the formation, tows and escorts these four aircraft carriers, and returns to Yangon Naval and Air Force Base!" Tang Qiuquan issued the order.
