Chapter 1175: The Ambush of the Japanese Army (2)

In all fairness, in such an airspace, Harukawa Hideki Osa doesn't think it's a good place for an ambush at all, the sky is cloudless, there are not even a few clouds to hide in, a wing of fighters, hovering in the sky without shelter, unless the pilot of Shina is blind, otherwise, you can see yourself from afar, if you let Harukawa Osa define it himself, it might as well be called a surprise attack, not an ambush.

Just transferred from the third flight team of the Kwantung Army to the 143rd Fighter Wing of the Imperial Southeast Asia Dispatch Army Air Force, it is considered an outsider, before, there is no concept of the independent division of the Southern Flight Group, but it does not mean that Harukawa Dazuo can despise this air force, in Manchuria, the Kwantung Army Air Force, suffered the loss of the independent division of the Northern Flight Group, Dazuo's close friend, the commander of the 142nd Fighter Wing of the Kwantung Army Air Force, Murakami Yoshio Osa, just before he was transferred to the south, died in the hands of the pilots of the Shina.

Qingchuan Dazuo vowed to avenge his best friend, but suddenly received an order, from Manchuria, which was already cold in autumn, to Southeast Asia, which was still scorching hot, for his air opponent in the south, Qingchuan Dazuo did not understand the specific situation, but simply listened to the introduction of the intelligence officer of the air force, Major General Le Yiqin, commander of the independent division's flight unit in the south, was the boss and partner of Liu Cuigang, who he hated in the north.

Therefore, Harukawa was quite dissatisfied with the order of Lieutenant General Nomura, the commander of the air force, to take off for combat within two days of his own wing arriving at the Yulin base on Hainan Island. You should give yourself time to familiarize yourself with the airspace here, rather than rushing into battle.

Lieutenant General Nomura mobilized five fighter wings to set up five ambush points on the route from Kunming to Manila, intercepting and killing them step by step, casting nets layer by layer, so that the fighter group escorting Tang Qiuli was exhausted.

An ambush point, the escort fighters of China, can break through, so, what next? I'm afraid that in the end, even if it is a fight for consumption, it can also consume the fighters of the independent division escorting the escort, and the remaining unarmed Tang Qiuli special plane will only have the share of being slaughtered by the imperial army, such a vicious plan was formulated by Ito Yanzaburo after holding an extremely secret military meeting.

In order to carry out this plan, Vice Admiral Nomura, commander of the Southeast Asian Dispatch Army Air Force, dispatched almost all the fighter combat units at hand, and for an inexplicable reason, Nomura asked the newly transferred Harukawa Wing to serve as the first wave of ambush missions.

In the second half of the interception, it was completed by naval aviation, so that Nomura could concentrate his forces and far exceed the strength of Tang Qiuli's escort group, and at the first ambush point, he would completely send this hateful devil into the waves of the South China Sea.

And, with an unswerving face, he said: "Nomura-kun, I remind you that we are the Imperial Army, do we still need the participation of those guys in the Navy for such an invulnerable ambush plan?" Couldn't we, the Army Aviation Corps, accomplish this feat on our own? ”

In fact, Nomura understood Commander Ito's cautious eyes, afraid of the navy's merit, and at the same time, it was also the empire's long-standing habit of fighting for the army and navy, Nomura didn't think so, in his heart, he was not very interested in the army and navy dispute. …,

In fact, this involves a long-brewing dream of Japan's air force, the empire has an army and navy, and the power of the air force has risen rapidly, and the top level of the Japanese air force has been pushing the air force to become a separate army and become an air force alongside the army and navy, instead of being split into two major parts and attached to the army and navy as it is now, and Nomura himself is an active responder and practitioner of this dream.

Nomura was at the Yulin Air Force Base on Hainan Island, and after going through these questions in his mind, he couldn't help but think that it was a great pity not to let the naval aviation participate in the ambush of Tang Qiuli, so he picked up the microphone, "Harukawa Dazuo, is there any situation?" "Report to Your Excellency Commander, Tang Qiuli's special plane has not been discovered for the time being," Qingchuan replied with a seemingly unsatisfactory expression.

Nomura said: "Harukawa-kun, wait patiently, the Yulin ground observation post reported that just ten minutes ago, a group of Shina planes flew by from the airspace under surveillance, among them, there is a large aircraft, it is expected that in another twenty minutes, you can start attacking," "Good news, Your Excellency Commander, Harukawa Wing, will definitely write a legend for the Imperial Army Air Corps," Harukawa's tone was obviously excited, like a vicious wolf smelling blood.

Nomura put down the microphone and couldn't help sighing, to put it bluntly, this method of ambushing and biting mad dogs was also out of helplessness, the intelligence network of the imperial army in China, especially in the area controlled by the independent division, was destroyed to the point that nothing remained, and the Southeast Asian dispatch army could not get a little information about the independent division, otherwise, it would be enough to know that this China devil took off from Kunming or Nanning.

Ambushing an elite fighter force on a predetermined route can accomplish this world-shocking feat, which is like now, waiting for the rabbit, aimlessly, etc., from a few days ago, began to cast a big net, began to wait like this, just the feeling of suffering from gains and losses, can torture people crazy.

On Le Yiqin's airborne radar, dozens of bright spots suddenly appeared, and he immediately called: "Attention to the group, the Japanese fighter group has been found in front, the first echelon keeps the course and speed unchanged, and the second echelon is ready for an assault," and then called again: "Commander Tang, I am Le Yiqin, and I have discovered the Japanese ambush group, and the size should be a wing." ”

Tang Qiuquan, who was in the ground command headquarters in Kunming, was in good spirits, the little devil was really ambushed on the way, and his judgment with Le Yiqin was right, "Yiqin, according to the predetermined plan, the escort aircraft group will continue to fly, and the Japanese ambush aircraft group will be solved by the second echelon, I estimate that the ambush of the Japanese army should not be just this wave." ”

Under the noon sun, Qingchuan's eyes suddenly flickered into a few bright spots, although he hadn't seen what it was, he immediately realized that Tang Qiuli's special plane was coming, "Attention of the major teams, according to the predetermined plan, the first and second brigades climb high, outflank the two wings of the Chinese man-aircraft group, and the third brigade will attack me head-on!" ”

The fighters on both sides, like two arrows, flew opposite each other, a distance of less than 100 kilometers, and they arrived in the blink of an eye, and they all saw the figure of the opponent's fighters, and Qingchuan was excited in his heart, but he didn't expect that this credit was obtained by himself who had just been transferred to Southeast Asia, and the resentment in his heart towards Commander Nomura had long since disappeared.

Le Yiqin looked around left and right, happy, the little devil is fighting more and less, and he wants to wrap his dumplings for more than 20 fighters, attacking from three sides, ruthless enough, the two planes are approaching quickly, Qingchuan's face is hideous, and his eyes are full of bloodthirsty light, like a wolf that sees its prey.

He saw at a glance that the leader fighter of the opponent's fleet flew flamboyantly and domineeringly, and the paint on the fuselage was obviously different from other fighters, and on both sides of the nose were rows of five-pointed stars, like two flying battle flags. …,

As a senior pilot, Harukawa knows the meaning, which represents the number of enemy planes shot down, and Harukawa's own plane also has four such five-pointed stars, which are the honors given to him by the pilots of the Northern Flight Group of the Independent Division, Harukawa's record is the number one trump card in the Kwantung Army Air Force, and he is also complacent about it.

Compared with the guy on the other side, it is pitiful, and the rows of red five-pointed stars, that is, the heroic souls of at least forty Imperial air warriors, have achieved the glory of this arrogant pilot of China, who is the murderer of the Imperial pilot! In Qingchuan's bones, an irrepressible hatred welled up.

This is a big guy, in the aviation unit of the independent division, has an important position, it is reasonable to think about it, the number one person of the independent division is visiting, the one named Le Yiqin, his new opponent, and he has not sent all the ace pilots to escort him, Qingchuan thought in his heart, a desire to fight, and the current instantly swam to the whole body.

According to Harukawa's habits, he will never let go of such a good prey, with his own flying skills, it is entirely possible to send the guy whose hands are stained with the blood of the imperial air warriors to the bottom of the sea, but not today, there are bigger fish, waiting for him, Harukawa reluctantly ordered other brigades to attack the Shina escort fighters, and he himself took the wingman, pressed the nose, and rushed towards the huge special plane.

Qingchuan's landline, and Leyiqin's landline. When he crossed over, Qingchuan turned his head to look at the arrogant flying fighter plane that he was worried about, and the number of the plane was eye-catching, "DHN-0001" Qingchuan's heart was shocked, could it be the landline of Le Yiqin, the supreme commander of the aviation of the independent division?

He really guessed correctly, this is Le Yiqin's fighter, Commander Le who flies domineering and flamboyant, the plane number means, "Independent Division Aviation Southern Flight Group," he is the first person in the air force, worthy of the number of this plane, when Qingchuan looked at Le Yiqin's landline, Le Yiqin was also looking at his landline, and similarly, he was stung in the eyes by the four five-pointed stars on the nose.
