Age of Conquest Reborn

Regarding the plan for this battle, Lieutenant General Liu Cuigang, commander of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division Aviation Force, has a huge appetite. His purpose is to wipe out all the Japanese air forces in the northwest of Honshu Island and the northern part of Kyushu Island. △

Hearing this, Admiral Amosiyev, commander of the Northern Fleet of the Independent Division, couldn't help but be frightened and reminded: "Commander Liu, within the scope of the battle, the Japanese aviation force will not be weaker than the northern aviation force."

Group, this battle is a bit difficult to fight!"

Liu Cuigang smiled slightly and said: "Indeed, the number of combat aircraft of several Japanese air fleets and a recruitment flying corps is about 1,200. This requires the cooperation of the Northern Fleet to maximize our military advantage.

maximize!"

"Oh!" Amosyev shrugged. He did not think that the Northern Fleet without aircraft carriers would play a key role in a large-scale air battle, so he asked: "

How do you need our Northern Fleet to cooperate with you?"

"Bait!" Liu Cuigang spat out two words.

"Bait?" Amosiyev asked in confusion.

"Yes, it's a bait!" Liu Cuigang further explained: "My plan is to have all the Northern Fleet assemble and march westward from the Vladivostok base. The formation will pass through the northern channel of Tsushima Island in the Korean Strait. The action will definitely be blocked by Tsushima Island.

The Japanese ground radar station discovered that, think about it, will the Japanese commander have a great interest in the Northern Fleet?"

It was immediately clear to everyone that when the Northern Fleet appeared in the Korean Strait, the Japanese headquarters in the northwest of Honshu Island and the northern part of Kyushu Island, they would definitely not miss the great opportunity to annihilate the Northern Fleet. With all naval forces lost, a large number of fighter jets were dispatched.

and bombers were an inevitable move. In this way, Liu Cuigang built fighter planes.

But this decoy plan is too bold and risky. The Northern Fleet will inevitably withstand air attacks from a large Japanese fleet. Although the fleet has strong air defense capabilities, in an air-sea battle, the Northern Fleet without aircraft carrier-based aircraft will definitely be at a disadvantage.

Disadvantages, losses are inevitable.

Amosiyev was silent, and Colonel Tang Yunfei, Chief of Staff of the Northern Fleet, stated this concern frankly. "Commander Liu, the core of the entire plan is the decoy role of our Northern Fleet, but the northern channel of the Korean Strait is far away from

The distance between Japan's mainland Honshu Island and Kyushu Island is very close, and the Japanese military aircraft fleet has a geographical advantage in attacking. How to avoid the loss of the Northern Fleet?"

Liu Cuigang glanced at Tang Yunfei appreciatively and replied: "The questions raised by Chief of Staff Tang were already taken into consideration when I was conceiving the combat plan. Since the target of the Japanese fleet's attack is the Northern Fleet, it is impossible for the dispatched combat aircraft to

All of them are fighters, with bombers accounting for at least one-third or one-fourth. In other words, the number of fighter planes that the Japanese army may dispatch is at most 800 to 900."

"The number of fighter jets that our Northern Flying Group can dispatch is more than 1,300, which is about 400 to 500 more than the Japanese army. Moreover, we are well prepared. Relying on ground radar whose performance far exceeds that of the Japanese army, it can be said that

All movements of the Japanese aircraft fleet are under our control. Once the air battle begins, I will send two fighter regiments to cover the Northern Fleet!"

"What's more!" At this point, Liu Cuigang smiled meaningfully, "Although the Northern Fleet does not have aircraft carrier-based aircraft, it is not a soft persimmon in terms of the fleet's air defense capabilities. It can be controlled by Japanese combat aircraft, right?"

Amosiyev burst out laughing and said very cheerfully: "If we can break the deadlock in the northern air battlefield in one fell swoop and inflict heavy damage on the Japanese aviation, there is no harm in being a bait! Commander Liu, when will the Northern Fleet start taking action?"

"Thank you very much, Commander Amosyev, for your cooperation!" Liu Cuigang said gratefully: "I will immediately report the combat plan to the division commander. If approved by the division commander, I will immediately send a telegram to the fleet headquarters and we can start the operation tomorrow morning.

, at the speed of the fleet, it will take about three days to reach the Korean Strait. Three days is enough for me to mobilize my troops!"

In Busan, the Korean Peninsula, at the frontline headquarters of the Independent Division, Lieutenant General Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff, took the combat plan sent by Liu Cuigang, walked into the office of division commander Tang Qiuli, and said: "Division commander, I just received a message from Northern Flying Group Commander Liu Cuigang.

According to the telegram, they formulated a battle plan, but it was quite bold and risky!"

"Oh? What bold battle plan surprises you?" Tang Qiuli took the telegram, read it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Liu Cuigang wanted to break the deadlock in one fell swoop. It was indeed bold, but it was not a risk.

, call back, agree! In addition, the two air defense brigades near Daegu will also be transferred to the Busan coastal line. If necessary, they can provide air cover for the Northern Fleet!"

On Tsushima Island, which guards the choke point of the Korean Strait, the radar antenna of the Japanese ground radar station is rotating at high speed, collecting air and sea signals, because the Tsushima Island ground radar station is the closest to North Korea in the Japanese military's northern defense system.

The eyes and ears of the peninsula can be said to be at the forefront of the battlefield. The Japan Homeland Defense Headquarters attaches great importance to it. It is listed as a first-class radar station.

The Tsushima Island Radar Station is organized at the regiment level. The station commander, Kakaro Uchiyama, holds the rank of Colonel. There is a reinforced squadron of more than 200 Japanese troops stationed on the island, serving as a guard force. Colonel Uchiyama himself is an outstanding radar expert.

However, because it is too close

The Korean Peninsula is now over, and the Japanese officers and soldiers on Tsushima Island can clearly feel the thick murderous aura coming from the other side across the narrow Korean Strait, making their hearts tremble all the time.

In a state of high tension and trembling.

On this day, Colonel Uchiyama went to the surveillance room on duty as usual. Everything was normal. The radar scanning wave was beating quietly. As soon as Colonel Uchiyama sat down, he heard a radar operator shouting: "Report to your Excellency, Colonel, the radar

Anomalies found!"

Colonel Uchiyama didn't even raise his eyelids and asked: "In the air or on the sea?"

These officers and soldiers, who are nervous and nervous all day long, are a bit like soldiers. There are countless false alarms a day. Sometimes, even a group of seabirds flying in the sky will be mistaken for Chinese people.

fleet, if it were normal times, Colonel Uchiyama would have told him to get lost with such a subordinate, but now is a critical period, and the empire is short of people everywhere, so he can only make do with them.

"Reporting to Your Majesty Colonel, it's the sea, the sea! A large number of targets have been found, coming from the northeast. They are probably a large number of warships!" the radar soldier shouted loudly.

Colonel Uchiyama calmly walked to the radar and looked at the screen carefully. Indeed, there was a target in an obvious direction. He ordered: "Half of the radars, adjust the observation angle immediately to confirm the target at sea!"

A few minutes later, all the radars identified the target. It was undoubtedly a large fleet. According to the reflection of radar waves, there were at least a hundred warships heading towards the Korean Strait. Colonel Uchiyama was very sure that it was

The Chinese fleet, because there is no Imperial Navy fleet in the Sea of ​​Japan.

The blood all over his body suddenly rushed to his face, and Colonel Uchiyama's face turned a sickly purple. It was a chance, a good chance to severely damage or completely annihilate the China Fleet. He shouted to the officer on duty: "Report to the Honshu Island Headquarters Defense Area immediately.

Headquarters, urgent! The Tsushima ground radar station has discovered that the China Fleet, about a hundred warships, is approaching from the eastern direction of the Sea of ​​Japan. It is expected to pass through the Korean Strait in two hours!"

"In addition, the radar found no signs of activity of the China fleet!" Then Colonel Uchiyama ordered again: "Closely monitor the whereabouts of the China fleet and report to me every twenty minutes!"

The urgent telegram from the Tsushima Ground Radar Station quickly arrived at the Honshu Defense Area Headquarters of the Japanese Home Defense Headquarters. It immediately aroused a rush of excitement. The officer who received the telegram was as fast as flying.

After reporting the situation, the commander, Lieutenant General Chiba Asami, the chief of staff, Major General Ishihara Yuichi, and the air defense commander, Major General Yokota Takaname, rushed to the war room immediately. The telegram was placed in front of the three Japanese officers, who had read it several times.

"Ishihara-kun, Yokota-kun, what do you two think?" Lieutenant General Chiba asked.

Chief of Staff Major General Ishihara said without hesitation: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is an opportunity, a rare opportunity to completely annihilate that fleet!"

"Yokota-kun, what's your opinion?" Lieutenant General Chiba asked the silent air defense commander Major General Yokota.

Major General Yokota, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked very elegant, frowned and said: "Commander, I think we should be more cautious. The Korean Strait is close to the Korean Peninsula occupied by the China Independent Division. As far as I know,

Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Flying Group of the China Independent Division Aviation Force, is cunning and cunning, and his military tactics are ever-changing. Is the sudden appearance of the China fleet a trap?"

Chief of Staff Major General Ishihara didn't like hearing it anymore and retorted: "Yokota-kun, are you being too cautious? Trap, what kind of trap? What we dispatched is aviation force, and the distance from which the aircraft group takes off is quite favorable. From the time the aircraft group takes off until it starts to attack the enemy fleet,

It can be completed within thirty minutes. Once you realize something is wrong, can you stop immediately?"

"If the commanders of our Honshu Island Northern Defense Zone Headquarters are as hesitant and timid as Mr. Yokota, how can we fight future wars? What's more, the Chinese will use a fleet of more than a hundred warships to design traps.

Even if it is a trap, the Chinese people will pay a heavy price for it. The opportunity is rare and cannot be missed!"

"You...!" Faced with the cynicism of Chief of Staff Major General Ishihara, Major General Yokota turned red with anger and was speechless.

"Okay, you two, stop arguing!" Lieutenant General Chiba interrupted the quarrel between the two subordinates and said: "Chief of Staff Ishihara is right, even if it is a Chinese trap, we cannot lose this opportunity. A ship

The value of a warship is much higher than that of a fighter jet!"
