Chapter 1343: Da Luo Immortal
Originally, it was thought that the Chinese Air Force would retreat immediately after a surprise attack of more than 10 minutes like the previous one, so the island air force adopted the tactic of frontal interception and outflanking on both flanks, with the intention of annihilating all the Chinese air forces.
However, who knows, this time the Chinese air force does not seem to have any intention of leaving, and it suddenly attacked the air defense line in the northeast corner of the island army, concentrated firepower to carry out intensive bombardment of the ground defense positions, and really had the subjective consciousness of opening up the gap in the defense line for the landing force at all costs.
In addition, the "wolf pack tactics" were also adopted in air combat, and the awareness of head-on confrontation with the island army was obvious.
Although there is still a long way to go in terms of the technical attainment of the Chinese air force compared with that of the island army, they are superior in the performance of their aircraft, they are superior in the air command of radar planes, and their tactics are flexible and changeable; they can always find the weak points of the island army at the first time and attack them in groups, and they can evade them in time when they encounter a strong enemy; in the course of nearly 20 minutes, the island army not only did not take advantage of it in the slightest, but on the contrary, they were in a state of confusion, and the planes were shot down one after another.
At this time, Takashi Sakai also believed that the Chinese aviation force had sacrificed the return time to fight to the death with the locust army, anyway, it was the aircraft aided by the American people, the Chinese would not feel distressed, the fuel was exhausted, the pilot directly parachuted from the east coast to escape, and after the battle, the American people wanted.
In this way, the Locust Navy will not be able to enter the Johor Strait in a short time, and the Chinese landing force may use this time to land quickly, and maybe it will really be able to penetrate the Locust Army's east bank defense line, after all, there is only one wing in the east, while the Chinese army has two divisions.
Takashi Sakai began to become impatient, constantly urging the Third Fleet to strengthen its air firepower, even if it was a one-way outcry, as long as it could be ended as soon as possible, the air battle would be considered a victory.
Perhaps because the Third Fleet believed too much that their position was an absolutely safe area, the fleet commander really followed Takashi Sakai's advice and moved all of his air forces to the skies over Singapore.
But they never dreamed that just as the planes continued to fly over Singapore, a huge fleet of planes was flying over the Malay Peninsula, bypassing Singapore and heading for the location of the Third Fleet.
Ten minutes later, more than 200 fighters, bombers, and more than 100 Flying Fortress heavy bombers were killed from the flank of the Third Fleet.
Explosions erupted in all directions, and the huge aircraft carrier fleet was instantly engulfed in flames.
Without the escort of the air force, the aircraft carrier ships were simply helpless under the concentrated attack of fighters and bombers, and they had to sit back and wait for death.
When the fighter planes of the island army urgently retreated from the Singapore battlefield to support, the three aircraft carriers and dozens of large and small ships were all turned into large and small fires on the sea, and many were directly sunk.
With the loss of the aircraft carrier, the carrier-based planes of the island army had nowhere to land, and they were all killed, both horizontally and vertically, and the island's military aviation units became even more frantic and launched a suicidal attack on the Chinese air force, completely avoiding machine guns and machine guns, and driving the planes directly into them.
……
Headquarters of the 22nd Army of the Island Army.
Takashi Sakai trembled as he held the farewell message of the Third Fleet in his hand, his face whiter than the telegram paper in his hand, but there was still a look of disbelief in his eyes.
He couldn't imagine where the Chinese air force came from, and if it wanted to go around the flank of the Third Fleet from the Malay Peninsula on the sea, the range would be at least about 400 kilometers, plus the distance to the Strait of Malacca, it was almost 1,000 kilometers, and the Aerial Fortress bombers could easily reach it, but where did the more than 200 carrier-based planes come from?
Unless the Chinese aircraft carrier fleet has entered the waters of Singapore, but this is almost impossible, the defense line arranged by more than 3,000 mines will never be swept away in just two days, unless Jiang Haoran is the Da Luo Immortal, will he be an immortal?
Takashi Sakai has no time to think about this problem, the destruction of the aircraft carrier means that Singapore has completely lost air supremacy, the Singapore airport has long been bombed by the Chinese air force, and it is impossible to land at all, and all the carrier-based aircraft will crash immediately because of the fuel exhaustion, even if it is an army aviation plane, if they do not return as soon as possible and wait for their ending, it will be the same.
Next, the Chinese air force will sweep all the ships and ships in the locust harbor and on the sea, and Singapore will be completely reduced to an isolated island.
Immediately after that, the helicopters of the Malay Peninsula will fly directly from the Straits of Johor, and the temporary defense line built by the civil fortifications of the locust army will not be able to withstand the concentrated bombardment of rockets and missiles mounted by the helicopters.
Because the locust army retreated in a planned way, ammunition, food, and even water were stored according to the amount of five days, that is, after five days, the locust army would face the dilemma of running out of ammunition and food.
There is no food and grass in front and no rescuers in the back, and the 22nd Army is about to explain here.
Even in this situation, Sakai Takashi did not intend to give up resistance, first, he knew that Jiang Haoran's means, if it fell into his hands, life was worse than death, and secondly, he was also driven by the spirit of bushido, and he was determined to lead more than 70,000 locust warriors of the three divisions of the 22nd Army to fight a decisive battle to the end.
Sakai Takashi did not hide half a point from the soldiers, told the truth about the actual situation, and focused on Jiang Haoran's various bad deeds in treating the prisoners, and advised the soldiers to give up the unrealistic idea of surrender, and repay the locusts with death, in the name of loyalty and bravery.
Messages and telephone calls were transmitted through the radio waves to all divisions, wings, brigades, and even squads of the island army, and soon spread to all the island troops in Singapore.
Shortly after the end of the air battle, there was a brief wail over Singapore, the sound was miserable and desperate, and the breath of death was full in an instant.
But this situation did not last long, as the wails were replaced by a shout after a messy gunshot, and a group of cowards were shot, and the militaristic ideology of the island army began to swell wildly in Singapore.
……
In a square in the western block of Singapore, the island army blocked all the street intersections, and the afterfires brought by the bombing and the torches in the hands of the island army illuminated the area as if it were daylight.
In the center of the square was a dense crowd of people, including young men, women and the elderly, children in their hands, and babies in their arms, but without exception, they were all unarmed.
One by one, with a panicked and frightened expression, they let the island army drive them and concentrate here.
In the war-torn city, the roads are full of huge craters, and there are countless collapsed houses, which look messy, but in front of this group of people, the island army set up a neat row of machine guns, and a gloomy face of the island army Shaozuo looked coldly at the black crowd, and slowly drew out the command knife.
