After receiving a call back from the division headquarters, Tang Qiuquan looked up to the sky and laughed, slapped the table with a rare prodigal wreckage, and shouted, "Okay!" With an eager expression, the officers of the fleet, including Rear Admiral Amosyev, were stunned, the commander's such a move, but it was the first time I saw it, it turned out that the cold, unsmiling commander still had such a bloody side!

Tang Qiuquan is indeed very excited and maneuvering, he has been dormant for three years, and finally has a chance to show his skills, and this opponent who came to the door is a half-crippled garbage goods, just to give the fleet the first battle sacrifice flag, with a strong momentum, even if he is cold and stern, it is difficult to suppress his excitement, and he is very proud!

In the telegram from the division headquarters, the information provided by the Nomura Air Force further increased Tang Qiuquan's confidence in fighting a battle, saying that this opponent was a half-crippled junk and that it was not too much at all, and the information of the division commander was as follows: "The Nomura Air Force, which is subordinate to the Southeast Asian Dispatch Force with Japan, in the just-concluded air battles in the Dafu and Beibu Gulf, its fighter unit was completely annihilated by the Southern Flying Group of our independent division, and its current strength is four bomber wings, with a total of 163 planes, including 42 torpedo bombers. The rest were dive bombers and horizontal bombers, the models were "Nakajima" and "Kawasaki", in addition, there was a brigade of reconnaissance aircraft. ”

After reading the intelligence, Tang Qiuquan was more confident in this battle, without fighter planes, just relying on bombers to run long distances to attack a fleet with two aircraft carriers and strong anti-aircraft firepower, is this Nomura crazy? On the two aircraft carriers of our own fleet, there are two flight regiments and 128 carrier-based aircraft, and although there are more than 30 fewer planes in number, the number of fighters versus bombers is not judged by quantity.

Tang Qiuquan said to Colonel Xin Xiguo, chief of staff of the fleet: "Chief of staff. It took more than an hour for the Japanese reconnaissance planes to go back and forth, and it took more than an hour for Nomura to get enough bombers. The commanders of all ships, aviation commanders, commanders of carrier-based aircraft flight regiments, and captains of high-speed gunboat groups were ordered to immediately go to the flagship to hold an operational meeting and make arrangements for relevant matters. ”

The people who participated in the meeting had not yet arrived, Tang Qiuquan and Amosyev. After carefully studying the overall deployment of this battle, although he was full of disdain and contempt for the incoming Japanese bombers, in terms of tactics, Tang Qiuquan and Amosyev attached great importance to it, and both of them agreed on it. Japanese bombers will definitely come, otherwise, there will be no secondary reconnaissance.

Tang Qiuquan was busy holding a combat meeting. Thousands of miles away, Tang Qiuli, who was at the front-line command of the Yangon Campaign in Yangon, was not idle, he picked up the phone, "Myitkyina Air Base?" I'm Tang Qiuli, looking for Le Yiqin to listen to the phone. ”

The number one person in the independent division, the legendary god of a hundred battles, personally called Myitkyina, and the young female operator, her excited heart "thumped". I actually heard the voice of the division commander in person, and the little girl received the phone to the conference room of the Myitkyina base with the fastest speed and skillful movements.

Le Yiqin was not idle, ambushed the second echelon of the Japanese fighter group in the Beibu Gulf, and returned to the ship. Compared with the bloody battle of the first echelon in the sky over Dafu, the second echelon was not at ease, and according to the regulations of division commander Tang Qiuli, no matter which unit of the independent division was, after a battle, it must immediately summarize the battle, find out the shortcomings and deficiencies, and sum up the lessons and lessons.

Le Yiqin looked at the hundreds of energetic and joyful pilots, and his eyes were almost squinted together, and he first said loudly: "Brothers have done a good job! From then on, the Indochina Peninsula is our sky, and the little devil can't even see a shadow, and the division commander said to me personally, he wants to come to Myitkyina to celebrate our achievements, and the Political Training Office is counting the list of meritorious personnel, and everyone said, are you happy? ”

The pilots below applauded, and the joyful atmosphere almost toppled the roof, Le Yiqin's face suddenly changed, and he said sharply: "But, I'm not very satisfied, why?" In the ambush of the Gulf of Tonkin there was someone who wanted to show mercy to the little devil pilot who had parachuted, and I know that most of you have this idea, right? ”

The joyful atmosphere suddenly froze, and the pilots did not expect that the commander would suddenly bring up this topic on such an occasion, and they all looked at each other, and the pilots who really had this idea shrank their necks and went straight to the back of their comrades, for fear of being targeted by the commander's eyes.

Le Yiqin continued: "Today, here I solemnly tell you, whoever has such an idea again, immediately roll me up and roll me away, in my troops, I can't tolerate people who reason with brutes, don't tell me anything about humanitarianism and international conventions, and the old pilots who fought from the northeast with me know why our independent division is doing this?" ”

Le Yiqin was blowing his beard and glaring to speak energetically, the phone on the table rang urgently, he picked up the phone impatiently, and asked quietly, "Who?" I'm in the middle of a battle summary, and I'll call you in a moment! After that, he put down the phone.

Tang Qiu was detached, and said slowly: "Commander Le, what a big temper and such a strong momentum!" Did you just win two battles and don't know the north? Le Yiqin grinned, hurriedly straightened up, lowered his voice an octave and said, "It's the teacher, what instructions do you have!" "While looking at the pilot below with a threatening eye, that means, don't speak!

Tang Qiuli continued: "Two battles a day, everyone is tired, right? Le Yiqin's voice was raised, "Division commander, if there is still a fight, just these guys, who don't sleep for three days and three nights, can still beat the little devil's plane all over the sky!" ”

"Okay, I'll give you a task, your old rival Nomura, is eyeing our fleet, and is going to send bombers to fight, your base will immediately establish contact with Commander Tang of the fleet, how to fight, the division can't ask, you two are discussing, how about it?" Three battles a day, pay attention to the pilot's body, and also, don't underestimate the enemy! In the last sentence, Tang Qiuli was quite strict.

Le Yiqin couldn't help but be so happy that she let go of her voice and shouted, "Yes!" Division commander, resolutely complete the task, and give him the last bit of family background of the old devil Nomura, please rest assured, from today onwards, the little devil airport on Hainan Island can only grow grass! ”

Good guy, Le Yiqin's movements were like wolves smelling blood, and the commanders of several fighter regiments below listened so well that they couldn't sit still anymore, and they couldn't care about the discipline of the meeting, so they hugged Le Yiqin one after another, and said nonsense: "Commander, our regiment is resting, and this task will be handed over to our regiment, right?" "Commander, our regiment happens to be on combat readiness duty, and it will be lifted into the air soon, so hand it over to our regiment, right?"

This posture almost ate Le Yiqin, these regiment commanders all know that this is the last battle in the Indochina Peninsula, and in the future, it will be difficult to find the little devil's plane, besides, there are no little devil fighters, just those bombers with big stomachs and heavy butts are like stupid ducks, where to find such a good opportunity to shoot live targets!

Le Yiqin's head was noisy a few times, and he even stared at the beads with fright, and finally got these militants back to their seats, and then said: "I know what you think, the last battle, I'm afraid I won't be able to fight, right?" I will arrange the task now, all the officers above the squadron leader, each with a new pilot this year to participate in this battle, and dispatch three regiment-sized fighters, the old way, in the airspace south of Hainan Island, intercept and kill the returning little devil bombers, don't be dissatisfied, don't be dissatisfied, carry forward the style, should you give novices a chance to exercise, that's it, the combatants, immediately prepare for takeoff! ”

Seeing the photos brought back by the second batch of reconnaissance planes, Nomura beat a drum in his heart, this Chinese fleet really has aircraft carriers, this is a thorny problem, he doesn't even have a fighter, and he rushes up, isn't that sending a live target? If you really make a fiasco and return home, you will commit suicide.

Takahashi didn't think so, and he said to Nomura: "Commander, although the enemy fleet consists of two aircraft carriers, the number of carrier-based aircraft will not exceed seventy, and besides, according to the report of the reconnaissance planes, when they arrived close to take pictures and returned home, they did not find that they were being tracked at all, which means that the Shina fleet did not know that we were going to raid them. ”

Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Nomura Naori's ears were listening, and pointed out more and more: "This has achieved the suddenness of the start of the battle, our more than 160 bombers, no more than 70 carrier-based aircraft, even if there are a few and a half bombers, break through the enemy's carrier-based aircraft interception, and the blow to the Chinese fleet is immeasurable." ”

"Besides, it is already 5:40 p.m., the sun is beginning to turn west, and our bomber group can first fly directly in the direction of the China fleet, and when it reaches about 50 nautical miles, it should fly due west, and under the cover of the sun, once again achieve the purpose of covert raid, and the chance of success will be great!"

Not to mention, Takahashi has a lot of ghost ideas, knowing that under the cover of the sunshine in the west, making full use of the natural conditions, Nomura was completely persuaded by the beautiful scene described by Takahashi, he got up, and said in a terrifying voice: "Order, all bombers take off immediately, and go to battle under the guidance of reconnaissance planes, target, the fleet of the people of China!" ”

Nomura was like a gambler who lost the red eye, full of enthusiasm for a comeback, and took out the last bit of his wealth, more than 160 bombers of the air force, and carried out a surprise attack on the fleet of the independent division without the cover of fighters, which was a gamble that was destined to lose.

If Nomura knew that all his plans were in Tang Qiuli's hands, and Tang Qiuquan, the commander of the fleet of the Independent Division, and Le Yiqin, the commander of the Southern Flight Group of the Independent Division, these two generals, were afraid that he would not dare to come out and his plans would fall through, and he didn't know that Commander Nomura didn't have the courage to make this big gamble?! ~！
