Age of Conquest Reborn

Iwo Jima, Tang Qiuli was quite sad when he put down Brother Qiu Sheng's telegram. Iwo Jima was obtained in this way. It can be said that it was easily obtained without any bloodshed. The soldiers of the independent division did not have to fight bloody battles and make heavy sacrifices. This was his greatest

of comfort.

Tang Qiuli didn't understand why the Japanese made such a stupid move and allowed more than 20,000 people from Tadamichi Ribayashi's 109th Division to attack the Ogasawara Islands.

The Ninth Division is absolutely

The fierce division caused the US military to lose more than 6,000 lives and injured nearly 20,000 people. Even the US landing commander was blown to pieces by artillery shells. It was the only casualty of the US landing force in the Japan-US Pacific War.

Battle of redundant Japanese defenders.

This is one of the main reasons why Tang Qiuli ordered the southern offensive troops not to take Iwo Jima but the Ogasawara Islands. He admitted that he had a psychological shadow about Iwo Jima and was afraid that the independent division troops would repeat the same mistakes as the US military. Now, the shadow

After all, Iwo Jima was obtained, and he felt more relaxed than ever before.

Tang Qiusheng strongly agreed with Tang Qiusheng's proposal to vigorously expand the Iwo Jima airport and build docks and other military facilities to make it an important Pacific maritime supply and troop swallowing base for the southern offensive forces. Tang Qiuli signed the order without hesitation and ordered the logistics

The department began construction on Iwo Jima.

After occupying Iwo Jima, the main task of the southern offensive force was to implement the contents of the last military conference held in Yangon, mainly to weaken and attack Japan's mainland air defense forces.

According to the deployment of the last military conference, the two major flying groups of the independent division aviation, the northern and southern flying groups, have different tasks and different divisions of labor. The main task of Liu Cuigang's northern flying group is to contain and attract the Japanese air fleet, while Le Yiqin's southern flying group.

With the naval fleet's land-based mixed flight combat brigade as the main force, and with the cooperation of the fleet, it tried its best to severely damage the Japanese air defense fleet, especially the Japanese recruitment flying fleet.

On the second day after the occupation of Iwo Jima, Le Yiqin sent a telegram to the division commander. The content of the telegram was simple and direct, full of Le's style, "Division Commander, as our army occupied Iwo Jima, the Southern Flying Group once again

We have an advanced base for attacking the Japanese mainland at sea. In view of this, I request the division commander to strengthen the aviation strength of the southern offensive force and dispatch ten new fighter regiments and five bomber regiments to form a force advantage over the Japanese army!"

"This Le Yiqin, you really dare to open your mouth!" Putting down Le Yiqin's telegram, Tang Qiuli shook his head and said to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe: "He thinks that the new combat aircraft is just cabbage, and he will be very angry when he opens his mouth.

Several groups want it!”

Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe smiled and came to the rescue for Le Yiqin: "It was probably the air battle in Shizuoka a few days ago. Commander Le suffered a small loss and realized that the aviation force of the South Road offensive force was different from the Japanese army.

Compared with the defense force, we must be at a disadvantage!"

"The construction of the Iwo Jima field airport is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It will take time. We cannot wait until we are on the ground." Tang Qiuli shook his head and said: "Send a telegram to the South Road offensive force headquarters. Your department should launch several air battles as soon as possible.

.Crack down on Japan’s arrogance in recruiting flying squadrons and put great pressure on Japan’s mainland defense in the southern direction.”

"Call back Le Yiqin and ask for rejection. We must fight based on the existing troops and equipment. Don't always think about combat aircraft. When there are no new combat aircraft, will you, Le Yiqin, stop fighting? Use your brain to fight!

"

The day after receiving the order from the division commander, General Tang Qiusheng, the commander of the southern offensive force, held a meeting of command members on Chichijima Island to implement the order from the division commander. In addition to Tang Qiusheng, the people who attended the meeting were also from the south.

Fleet Commander Admiral Tang Qiuquan, Chief of Staff Major General Xin Xiguo, as well as Aviation Southern Flying Group Commander Lieutenant General Le Yiqin and Chief of Staff Major General He Zhijun, Marine Corps Commander Lieutenant General Han Tie and Chief of Staff Major General Wang Dongshan.

"Yiqin, you sent a telegram to the division commander, requesting for the addition of new combat aircraft. How did the division commander respond?" Tang Qiusheng knew about this. He also wanted to increase the strength of the aviation force of the southern offensive force. There was no official announcement at the meeting.

Before we start, Wen Le Yiqin arrives.

"Don't mention it!" Le Yiqin looked downcast and spread his hands and said: "The division commander rejected my request. The division commander also taught me to fight based on the existing troops and equipment and not to keep thinking about getting airplanes. He also said that I am now a

Without the new combat aircraft, there will be no more wars, look at what a fuss this is!"

Everyone was happy, and Tang Qiusheng also smiled and said: "Now it seems that it is impossible for our southern offensive troops to strengthen the aviation force in a short period of time. The division commander asked us to recruit aviation teams against Japan and fight a few times.

This is a large-scale air battle. This task is left to you two, Qiuquan and Yiqin! The focus of my work and that of Han Tie are currently on the construction of the Iwo Jima field airport and port facilities, as well as the rest and recuperation of the two regiments.

Come up!"

After the meeting, Tang Qiuquan, Xin Xiguo, Le Yiqin and He Zhijun gathered together to study the next battle plan. Le Yiqin was not in a high mood. He was under pressure. The troops he had were far weaker than the Japanese army, and,

Those veterans from Europe are very cunning and do not pursue pursuit far away from the land, so the performance advantages of their new combat aircraft cannot be used.

"Commander Tang, you say how to fight, I will listen to you!" Le Yiqin said to Tang Qiuquan.

Tang Qiuquan winked at Xin Xiguo, and Xin Xiguo said: "Commander Le, the fleet headquarters has drawn up a combat plan. I was going to have a briefing with you, but the deputy division commander happened to hold a military meeting and handed over the task to the two of us.

Family, now, let me explain the contents of the battle plan to you!"

Le Yiqin's spiritual leader came immediately and urged: "Chief of Staff Xin, tell me quickly!" Xin Xiguo began to explain, and Le Yiqin's eyes became brighter and brighter.

In the early morning of the next day, the main force of the Southern Fleet left the waters near Chichijima Island and sailed towards Japan's Honshu Island...

In the early morning five days later, the Chichijima Field Airport became noisy, and the roar of engines echoed in the pre-dawn air. Colonel He Luming, commander of the Fleet Mixed Flight Combat Brigade, commanded the first echelon fighter group, with more than 300 fighter jets.

Facing the dawn, she rushed into the sky and flew towards Tokyo. Le Yiqin stood at the end of the airport runway and watched as the fighter jets disappeared into the northern sky...

On Miyake Island, off the coast south of Tokyo, Japan, the newly built Japanese Homeland Defense Headquarters and Honshu Southern Defense Area Ground Radar Station are located on the island. At around 5 a.m., Lieutenant Shuzo Matsuo, the team leader on the night shift, stretched out his hand.

He stretched, rubbed his aching eyes, yawned widely, glanced at the radar soldiers who were working the night shift together, and couldn't help but feel angry.

As the leading officer, I didn't dare to blink all night, but they were all staggering around and drowsy. What's worse, one of them, Captain Cao, actually snored happily, with a rattle hanging from the corner of his mouth. .

Second Lieutenant Matsuo was furious. He pushed the chair away and rushed to the snoring Captain Cao in a few steps. "Bang!" the deputy said. He could not help but be a big-mouthed man, which made the Captain jump up and down. , so sleepy that you don’t know what happened?

Several drowsy radar soldiers were also shocked to wake up, "Baga!" Second Lieutenant Matsuo was really angry and shouted loudly: "Look at your appearance, you are still a Japanese emperor** Are you human? You actually slept on duty, your conscience is really bad!"

Second Lieutenant Matsuo cursed for a while, which made the radar soldiers confused. He was just cursing vigorously. One of the radar soldiers, probably trying to divert his attention, inadvertently glanced at the radar screen and suddenly exclaimed, "Second Lieutenant." , enemy plane found!”

"Baga!" Lieutenant Matsuo became even more angry, "You are in a daze, where did the enemy plane come from!"

"Second Lieutenant, the radar has indeed detected enemy planes. There are about 200 enemy planes, heading towards Tokyo!" The radar soldier pointed at the radar screen and shouted regardless.

Second Lieutenant Matsuo hurriedly climbed to the radar screen without looking at it. He was shocked when he saw it. What the radar soldier said was true. A group of small black dots appeared on the radar screen, moving towards Tokyo at high speed. , to be sure, it is the Chinese aircraft fleet.

Second Lieutenant Matsuo reacted very quickly and immediately picked up the phone, "Defense District Headquarters, air raid alert! I am Shuzo Matsuo, the officer on duty at the Miyakejima ground radar station. The radar has detected the Chinese aircraft group, which is approaching Tokyo. There are about two hundred in number. shelf!"

The officer on duty at the Honshu Southern Defense Zone Headquarters did not dare to neglect. After putting down the phone, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and picked up the phone to call the home of Major General Masao Takamura, the air defense commander of the defense zone.

Major General Masao Komura slept very late yesterday, drank a lot of wine, and exercised with his wife. He felt comfortable and slept soundly. He was woken up by a phone call early in the morning. He felt quite unhappy and a little confused. He answered the phone patiently, but after hearing it, the hangover suddenly broke into a cold sweat. He pulled his wife's thick legs to the side, hurriedly got up, put on his military uniform, and hurried out.

After walking a few steps and thinking for a while, Major General Takamura walked back and picked up the phone, "Headquarters duty room? I am Commander Takamura. Call immediately and ask Captain Bradbury to come to the headquarters war room. and inform him of the enemy's situation."

Major General Takamura's home is not too far from the southern defense headquarters of Honshu Island. It only takes ten minutes by car. Normally, he would rush to work at the headquarters very leisurely without urging the driver to speed up. But today If it didn't work, he was so anxious that he could not wait to reach the headquarters in one step.

Seeing that the driver was still driving at the usual speed, Major General Komura immediately became angry and opened his mouth to curse: "Baga! The military situation is urgent. If you don't drive faster, I'll shoot you if you miss it!"
