The real battle has just begun

"Good news, good news, big victory for the Air Force, good news for the Air Force...."

The carrier-based fighter group led by Wang Chao has just won victory and is preparing to return home. A simple battle report was transmitted to the telecommunications room of the 'Beijing' aircraft carrier in advance through the radio waves. At the same time, in the telecommunications room, the voice of the communications staff officer, who was the first to see the good news, also quickly came out of the telecommunications room.

Under everyone's gaze, the excited communications staff officer, waving the telegram in his hand, trotted into the command room where everyone was anxiously waiting...

"Report to the chiefs, the telegram from Captain Wang of the Second Brigade of HNA just sent me..."

"Read...."Chen Shaokuan forcibly endured the excitement in his heart and ordered with an expectant face.

"Yes, Chief..."

"Captain Wang reported that after 40 minutes of engagement with the Second Brigade of our First Naval Airlines, the Japanese attack aircraft group, totaling 110 fighters of various types, did not miss the net, and all of them were shot down. The Second Brigade of our Navy, on the other hand, only paid a small price for the crash of three fighters and the injury of one fighter. At present, the Second Brigade of our HNA is on its way back and is expected to start landing in 20 minutes...."The communications staff officer reported with an excited face.

"Okay, well fought, commander-in-chief, I want to give Wang Chao and all the pilots of the Second Brigade of Hainan Airlines to ask for credit for you. At the cost of less than four fighters, the result of the annihilation of an entire aviation division of the Japanese army was obtained. This is something that has never happened in an air battle duel against Japan since the formation of my HNA and no, since the formation of our Chinese Air Force..." Navy Commander Chen Shaokuan could no longer suppress the excitement in his heart after hearing the shocking ratio of losses between the enemy and the enemy in the battle report. Facing Liu Hua in front of him, he said proudly.

"It is indeed worth encouraging more than 70 pilots who have basically no actual combat experience to achieve such a big victory at such a small cost. Boss, I also agree with Commander Chen's opinion. Give them credit...."The chief of staff of Zuo Quan, who also did not expect that the Second Brigade of the HNA could achieve victory at such a small price, followed closely behind and suggested to Liu Hua, the commander-in-chief who was still invisible.

"Please, yes. Based on the results they have achieved, each of them can take a 'personal first-class merit' more than enough. Chief of Staff, you should first note that after the end of the campaign, I personally asked the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission for merit from them...."Regarding the suggestion of the two people, Liu Hua first agreed.

But. As soon as his words fell, a worried look appeared on his face. Facing Chen Shaokuan in front of him, he reminded directly.

"Commander Chen, the Second Hainan Aviation Brigade won the first battle. However, let's not forget that at the same time as the victory, the only air force of our expeditionary fleet was. It was also unreservedly exposed to the Japanese army. Although we wiped out an entire aviation division of the Japanese army, we relied on the background of the Japanese army. There is absolutely no problem in sending one or two more fighters of the aviation division to attack us in a short period of time. ”

"On our own, after this battle, there will be no more secrets in the face of a powerful enemy. At the same time, our limited number of aircraft is also one less when we fight. So, the situation we need to face is still very bad, and the real battle is so far. It's just the beginning..."

"The commander-in-chief is right, the real battle has only begun now, and we are too early to be happy...."Commander Chen Shaokuan also gradually calmed down from his excitement and replied with a look of approval.

However, when I thought of the commander-in-chief's point-to-point analysis just now, there was a strong look of worry. It also appeared on his face for the first time. Facing Liu Hua in front of him, he asked expectantly.

"But, Commander-in-Chief, in that case, then we'll do next..."...," Don't worry, there's always a way. Besides, the air defense force of our entire fleet is not a dry meal....When Captain Wang Chaowang returns, we will be thinking about specific countermeasures after we have a detailed understanding of the entire air combat process. Now, our urgent need for delay is to prepare for the return of the second team of Hainan Airlines. At the same time, pull out the emergency fighters in the hangar to supplement the losses of this air battle...."Liu Hua ordered with a confident face.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief...."

After the General Headquarters of the Japanese Army on Okinawa Island received the news that the first round of attack clusters had been wiped out, General Yanagawa, as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese forces in Okinawa, had already turned blue with a face.

He did not expect that an elite aviation division of the empire, facing a group of pilots with little actual combat experience in the Chinese Expeditionary Force, not only did not even see the enemy's fleet, but was completely annihilated on the way to attack.

In the words of Admiral Yanagawa, this is a shame for the entire Japanese army on the island of Okinawa and a shame for the entire Japanese Air Force.

In the face of General Yanagawa's anger that could erupt at any time, the entire headquarters had already become silent. All the staff officers were extremely careful to do the work at hand, and they were afraid that the commander in front of him, who was emotionally volatile, would directly vent his anger on the body that he could not bear at all.

The atmosphere of the entire command headquarters became more and more solemn as time passed by minute by minute. Finally, in the midst of everyone's anxious suffering, the chief of staff of the headquarters appeared at the door of the war room with a solemn face.

"Chief of Staff, have you found out the specific reason? Why did an elite aviation division of the Japanese Empire be wiped out on the way to attack..."General Yanagawa, who had an iron face, asked directly to the chief of staff who hurried at the door.

"Hayi...."

"This is the last telegram sent to our command by the leader of the 2nd Squadron of the 9th Bomber Wing before he was killed. According to the contents of the telegram, coupled with the deduction of the Air Force staff officers, the entire course of the air battle has been preliminarily deduced...."The chief of staff replied in the affirmative.

"I just want the result, not the process, talk...."General Yanagawa directly waved his hand and ordered.

"According to intelligence and the Air Force General Staff's calculations, the squadron is equipped with the latest American carrier-based combat power, which far surpasses the active fighters of the Imperial Japanese Army in terms of flight speed and fighter firepower. Although the Chinese pilots flying the fighters were all novices who did not have much actual combat experience, under the conspiracy of the other side, a wing of escort fighters in the first round of attack groups was completely annihilated by the other side at all..."

"Before the departure of my first attack group, the cunning Shina people had already deduced the attack route of our group. Then, in ambush in the thick clouds. After our attack group entered the enemy's ambush circle, the Chinese carrier-based fighters, by virtue of their speed advantage, suddenly launched an attack from the rear of our attack group. ”

"With several times the advantage of firepower, plus a relative numerical advantage, only one round of attacks. The first escort fighter wing to be attacked paid a huge price for more than half of the losses..."

Under the explanation of the chief of staff, the entire air battle process appeared clearly in front of General Yanagawa as if it were a movie.

"Baga, cunning Chinese, another sneak attack ... I, Yanagawa swear, that I will definitely use your blood to pay tribute to those imperial warriors who died in the air battle...."General Yanagawa with an angry face swore to the chief of staff in front of him, clenched his fists, and swore with a murderous face.

Then, before the chief of staff could react, he asked directly.

"Chief of Staff, now that we are clear about the superiority of Chinese carrier-based fighters and their customary combat measurements. I don't know if the Air Force Staff has come up with a specific response plan...."...,

"You must be clear that the task given to us by the military department is to destroy or massively kill the living forces of the Chinese Expeditionary Force at all costs. And so far, although we have paid a huge price, we have not even hurt the fur of the Chinese expeditionary force ... Once this result is passed on to the military department, there is only one way left for us, and that is to go to a court-martial..."

Seeing the strong murderous aura on General Yanagawa's face, the chief of staff did not dare to slack off, and spoke directly.

"Hayi...."

"After analysis, the Air Force staff officers unanimously believe that there are two main reasons why the first round of attack clusters of our army will be completely wiped out. First, there is a shortage of escort fighters. Second, the troops were too light on the enemy during the sortie ...."

"For these two reasons, the Air Force Staff has already developed a concrete solution. I can be sure that the second round of attack of our Imperial Japanese Empire will definitely make it clear to the Chinese Expeditionary Force what the real air force is...."

Looking at the confident look on the chief of staff's face, General Yanagawa's face finally looked a lot better. Continue to speak.

"Very well, I believe that the Imperial Japanese Air Force is invincible, and it is definitely not something that the new recruits of the Chinese Expeditionary Force can defeat. Chief of Staff, how many warplanes have arrived from various airfields. When will the second round of attack aircraft really depart...."

"So far, more than one hundred and eighty warplanes of various types have arrived at the airfield. According to the predetermined plan, in an hour, my second group of attack aircraft will be able to take off ....", replied the chief of staff.

"Yo Xi, the real battle has finally begun. Let us wait and see, and wait for the good news that the Chinese Expeditionary Force fleet will all sink to the bottom of the sea under the attack of our Imperial Japanese Air Force...."General Yanagawa said with a proud face, already encouraged by the chief of staff, and shrouded in a thick look of confidence.

"Ha Yi, let's go and prepare...."
