Age of Conquest Reborn

Chapter 3216 Fatal Contradictions

Lieutenant General Chiba and Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshizawa, the commander of the Kyushu Island Defense Zone Headquarters, did not deal with each other. They could even be said to hate each other very much.∷

The current position of commander of the Honshu Island Defense Zone Headquarters was originally held by Shirakawa Yoshizawa. However, through his activities with His Royal Highness Prince Zain and Mae'er, he took this position, even though they were both at the Defense Zone Headquarters.

Commander, but the gold content and importance are definitely different.

Honshu Island and Kyushu Island, one is the capital of the Empire of Japan and the seat of His Majesty the Emperor, the heart of the empire, and the other is a secondary subordinate status. With the experience of serving in defense zones of different importance, he will later serve in the imperial government.

The promotion prospects in the world are definitely different.

If it was not absolutely necessary, Lieutenant General Chiba would never sacrifice his face to ask for help from this guy Shirakawa, but it would definitely be impossible not to ask for help now. Lieutenant General Chiba dragged his heavy steps and picked up the phone, his mouth bitter.

He said: "I am Commander Chiba. Please contact Commander Shirakawa at the Kyushu Island Defense Headquarters immediately. We have important matters to discuss!"

Saga, Kyushu Island, where the Japan Homeland Defense Kyushu Island Defense Zone Headquarters is located. Commander Lieutenant General Shirakawa Yoshizawa and Chief of Staff Major General Akiyoshi are discussing the air battle that occurred in the airspace of the Korean Strait in their office.

Chief of Staff Akiyoshi said worriedly: "Commander, judging from the situation observed by our ground radar, the aircraft fleet at the northern defense zone headquarters of Honshu Island is in a very bad situation! Should our aircraft fleet be dispatched for reinforcements?"

With a sarcastic sneer on Lieutenant General Shirakawa's lips, he said lightly: "Akiyoshi-kun. A Chinese fleet suddenly appeared in the Korean Strait. We also obtained relevant information, and ground radar also obtained information about the Chinese fleet.

Specific location. But do you understand why I didn’t order the fleet to take off and attack?”

Chief of Staff Akiyoshi shook his head and said: "The staff is not clear about the commander's intentions. When you rejected the requests of several aviation commanders to go to war, the officers below started talking about it, and it was difficult for the staff to explain!"

"Hahaha!" Lieutenant General Shirakawa laughed proudly and said: "It's not normal. That's all. The China Independent Division troops are heavily concentrated on the Korean Peninsula. That is the best position to attack the mainland of the empire. If the China Independent Division troops want to

Crossing the Korean Strait requires fleet escort. Tell me, at such a critical moment, how could the Chinese fleet leave the Sea of ​​Japan and return to mainland China?"

Chief of Staff Akiyoshi's eyes lit up and he nodded thoughtfully. Lieutenant General Shirakawa was talking enthusiastically and said: "When things go wrong, there must be monsters. Don't forget Akiyoshi-kun, the Chinese are good at using conspiracy and tricks.

, I’m not that idiot from Chiba. I’m simple-minded, so I won’t be fooled by the Chinese people!”

"Moreover, the opponent we are facing is Liu Cuigang, commander of the Northern Flying Group of China Independent Division Aviation. That is an opponent who does not follow common sense. As for whether to reinforce Chiba's aircraft fleet, we should wait for the order from the Homeland Defense Headquarters.

!”

Lieutenant General Shirakawa had another thought, but he couldn't tell Major General Akiyoshi that with that fool from Chiba in front of him, if the air attack on the China Fleet went smoothly, he would send out his fleet to intervene and take advantage.

Even if you don't get the first prize, you will also be appreciated by Prince Zairen. If it is a trap by the Chinese and Chiba's fleet suffers, then you can just stand still and lose nothing. Wouldn't it be like killing two birds with one stone!

Chief of Staff Akiyoshi was completely impressed by Lieutenant General Shirakawa's wisdom and foresight, but he also despised his behavior of not saving anyone. However, as the chief of staff, he could not influence the commander's decision, and he also knew Lieutenant General Shirakawa.

The personal grudge between the two of them and Lieutenant General Chiba made it even more impossible to stick to their own opinions.

For a moment, the two people in the office were silent, each with different thoughts. At this time, a staff officer came in and said, "Report to the commander, General Chiba from the headquarters of the Honshu Northern Defense Zone has called you. He has important military information."

Report!"

Lieutenant General Shirakawa's mouth became more sarcastic. He glanced at Chief of Staff Akiyoshi with a hint of pride and said to the staff officer: "Take it over!"

The phone was answered, and Lieutenant General Shirakawa had just picked up the phone when he heard Lieutenant General Chiba saying, "Shirakawa-kun, my fleet encountered the China Independent Division Aviation North during the air attack on the China Fleet.

The fierce counterattack of the powerful aircraft fleet of the Flying Group, the number of Chinese fighter jets far exceeds my fleet. Now, the air combat situation is not good for the empire, I implore you to send out the fleet for reinforcements! Please!"

"General Chiba, I deeply sympathize with and am extremely worried about what happened to your aircraft fleet!" Lieutenant General Shirakawa couldn't hide the sarcasm on his face and said, "However, you and I belong to different defense zones. The Commander-in-Chief of Homeland Defense

There is no request from the Ministry for both parties to coordinate operations. It is a pity that without orders, it is difficult for me to help!"

"General Chiba, please report the situation to the Home Defense Headquarters immediately. After I get the order, I will immediately dispatch all fighter jets to reinforce you. By the way, General Chiba, please rest assured, my fleet is ready for reinforcements.

, just waiting for the order from the headquarters!"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Lieutenant General Chiba to say anything else, Lieutenant General Shirakawa hung up the phone with a bang, and then said to Chief of Staff Akiyoshi: "Akiyoshi-kun, immediately order the fleet to prepare for attack!"

After Chief of Staff Akiyoshi left, Lieutenant General Shirakawa had a gloomy and proud smile on his face. It was so satisfying. He forced that idiot from Chiba to truthfully report the air combat situation to Prince Zai Ren. He would definitely lose face.

Yes, and also, if your own aircraft fleet is dispatched for reinforcements, even if it suffers losses, it is because it received an order from above and was ordered to provide reinforcements. The headquarters of the Home Defense Zone has nothing to say!

Killing two birds with one stone, it feels pretty good. However, Lieutenant General Baichuan instinctively felt that the opponent, the Chinese Liu Cuigang, must be very confident in his attack this time. The opponent's strength is obvious. He has severely damaged his own fleet and Chiba.

Thinking of the strength of the fleet, his pride suddenly dissipated, and he frowned in thought.

"Baga! This bastard Shirakawa, you dare not save him!" Lieutenant General Chiba threw the phone down angrily and shouted with a livid face.

"Commander, what did General Shirakawa say? Are you sending out a fleet of aircraft to reinforce us?" Seeing Lieutenant General Chiba's ferocious face turned ashen, Major General Yokota felt something was wrong, but he still asked without giving up.

Lieutenant General Chiba said feebly: "That bastard Shirakawa said that he must get an order from the Home Defense Headquarters before sending out fleet reinforcements!"

"Commander, you can stop hesitating and call Prince Zairen immediately to truthfully report the battle situation and ask him to issue orders! Otherwise, it will be too late!" Major General Yokota said urgently with pleading.

This was the only option. Lieutenant General Chiba picked up the phone like a frustrated ball. A few minutes later, Lieutenant General Shirakawa received a call from Prince Zairen, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Home Defense Headquarters.

, Prince Zai Ren simply issued an order on the phone: "All your fleets will be dispatched immediately to reinforce Chiba's fleet!"

Prince Zai Ren's tone was very cold, and seemed to have a hint of anger and murderous intent, which made Lieutenant General Bai Chuan tremble in his heart. He hurriedly replied: "Yes! Execute the deputy commander-in-chief's order immediately, and my fleet will immediately

Can take off!"

After putting down the phone, Lieutenant General Bai Chuan immediately gave the order for the fleet to attack. Then he walked to the window and watched the fighter jets one after another rushing into the sky. His heart was heavy. He could not figure out the anger and murderous intention of Prince Zai Ren.

, is it aimed at that idiot Chiba, or is it aimed at yourself?

Just like this, nearly half an hour passed. For an air battle, this period of time is enough to determine the outcome of a battle. The Japanese air formation taking off in the direction of Yamaguchi had very few bombers left. The formation commander

After the death of Colonel Matsuoka, the losses of Japanese fighter jets were quite heavy. There were more than 500 fighter jets, but now there are less than 300 left. They are being surrounded by Liu Cuigang's first echelon of aircraft.

In another air combat battlefield, the situation in which Japan recruited its flying corps was also quite bad. Likewise, not a single one of the more than 100 bombers that had lost the protection of fighter jets was left, and they all became a pile of scrap copper on the bottom of the Korean Strait.

As for the rotten iron, about one-half of the fighter planes are left.

The commander-in-chief, Colonel Violano, felt as bitter as if he had eaten coptis. The bombers were gone, and the fighter jets could not get rid of the entanglement of the Chinese fighter jets. Seeing the fighter jets disappearing into the sky, he hated the Japanese to death.

, the downed fighter pilot did not even have a chance to parachute. Only now did he realize that the combat experience and air combat skills of the Chinese fighter pilots were no worse than those of the veterans from Europe under his command.

Even more ferocious, those Chinese fighter pilots, like desperate desperadoes, rushed upwards with red eyes, and opened fire at a distance of less than a hundred meters. They had the upper hand in numbers, and their experience in air combat was not bad. The second echelon of Liu Cuigang's fleet

, completely pressured to recruit the aviation corps.

Relying on their superb flying skills, they recruited more than a hundred remaining fighter jets from the flying group. Under the leadership of the commander, Colonel Violano, they fought and retreated in embarrassment. The fighter pilots of the Northern Flying Group became red-eyed.

In hot pursuit, two or three planes formed a group, biting a Japanese fighter and hitting them hard. The air combat battlefield gradually rolled towards the Masuda airspace on Honshu Island, Japan.

"My God! Are all the Chinese crazy?" Colonel Violano's eyes straightened and he murmured to himself that his plane was already scarred and it was unknown whether he could fly back to Yitian Airport!

The Japanese fleet taking off from the Kyushu Island Airport was intercepted by Liu Cuigang's third echelon fighter group just as they saw the blue waters of the Korean Strait. Immediately, the two sides launched a fierce air battle.

On this morning, the sky above the Korean Strait was filled with gunpowder smoke that could not be blown away by the sea breeze. It was obvious that Liu Cuigang, who had been holding back for a long time, had completely grasped the initiative on the battlefield in this unprecedented large-scale air battle.
