Chapter 836: Victory

The reinforcement group led by Liu Cuigang, deputy commander of the independent division's air force, rushed to the airspace of the Battle of Jiāo in the Sea of Japan, and after nearly an hour of fighting, the Japanese Navy's land-based hún group had lost the sharpness of its attack, attacked the bombers and dive torpedo bombers of the fleeing Soviet Pacific Fleet, and was ambushed by the carrier-based aircraft group.

The anti-aircraft fire of the surface ships of the Pacific Fleet was very fierce, the Japanese bomber group was almost completely wiped out, the fighter group could not gain the upper hand, the commander of the formation, Rear Admiral Yuo Oshima, was killed, and all the factors developed in a direction unfavorable to the Japanese aircraft group.

One side wants to go, the other side bites tightly, from the momentum, the Japanese hún group loses, the Japanese pilots are more and more frightened, the Chinese pilots are desperately entangled with themselves, is there a greater attempt?

The reinforcement group led by Liu Cuigang arrived, and more than 600 fighters, all pressed against the Japanese plane, and the Japanese pilots' worries became a reality.

The new division has an absolute advantage in numbers against the Japanese aircraft group that has been exhausted for a long time, and there is almost no suspense in this air battle, and when the Chinese reinforcement group appeared in sight, the Japanese pilots already had the idea of retreating quickly, saying that it is more decent to retreat, and it is most appropriate to describe it as escaping.

Liu Cuigang from the beginning, he planned to treat these Japanese planes as dumpling stuffing, and the reinforcement group was divided into two ways to outflank, and all the Japanese planes were encircled in the middle at once.

Although among the pilots of the independent division, there were many novices who had only flown more than 200 hours, and they were bold enough to beat these veteran Japanese pilots who had flown more than 1,000 hours.

There were so many Chinese planes that the Japanese pilots felt that they were a wolf that had broken into the tigers, and there were shells chasing their ass everywhere, and the Japanese planes fell to the ground with a wail, and the worst thing was that they were hit by several fighters of independent divisions at the same time and turned into a cloud of smoke in the air.

The group of planes led by Liu Cuigang arrived and fought with hundreds of Japanese planes for a long time to escort the group, and when the time for the air was up, the commander Le Yiqin gave the order to return home, looking at the fuel gauge, and the pilots had to withdraw from the regiment in a huff.

The participants in the escort group were all experienced veteran pilots, and while withdrawing, they also issued a prison sentence: "Commander, look at you, Deputy Commander Liu, they have a lot of fun, we can fight for more than ten minutes, it's early." "Captain, take a look, it's a novice at first glance, why are you hesitating? Hurry up and replace it with me, I can knock that little devil's plane down with one shot. ”

"Don't say anything, the little devil's group is already a persimmon that has been pinched soft by us, and these novices are picking up cheap when they come up," Le Yiqin listened to these boys who had never been addicted, where they kept getting angry, angry and funny, and then thought of Tang Yunfei, this young man, he watched him grow up, he didn't open a small stove on weekdays, and his feelings for Tang Yunfei were more than those of other new pilots.

It's not because of the teacher, but because of the talent and tenacity of this young man, which makes Le Yiqin appreciate it very much, and his heart hurts, and he said: "Okay, haven't you ever enjoyed it?" I'm going to get in touch with the deputy commander and tell you to turn around and go to war again?" The one who said that his plane could fly in the sky without burning oil, and I kept it without blocking it, and approved it immediately, did you go? ”

"Thanks to the fact that you are all old pilots, you know that you have a good time, and you don't know the opportunity to give novices a chance to exercise, after you go back, you will write a battle summary, at least two thousand words, don't take a half piece of paper paste nòng me, have you heard it?" The returning pilots agreed in unison, secretly complaining in their hearts, the commander is black enough, two thousand words? It's going to die.

After several hours of fighting in the air and on the sea, the Japanese Navy's land-based air force was finished, except for more than 20 or so particularly lucky or experienced old fritters, which fled, more than 290 Japanese planes were shot down or turned into the sky, and the Japanese bombing formation was completely wiped out.

In this battle, the air force of the independent division cooperated with the naval and air forces of the fleet, and at the cost of 27 downed fighters and 36 damaged, more than 300 Japanese planes were killed, and the fleet won a complete victory.

Thirty-eight Soviet sailors were killed, 11 were killed by the special operations detachment of the independent division, more than 900 fleet personnel were wounded, and none of the carrier-based aircraft were lost.

At the end of a thrilling war, the fighting will and flying skills of the Chinese pilots left a deep impression on these Soviet sailors, and they could not imagine that the Chinese would have so many planes and so many brave and warlike pilots, and the little things in their hearts that they thought were the capital quietly disappeared, and the rest was the natural expectation and yearning for the place they were about to arrive.

The fleet of planes all returned, the carrier-based aircraft also landed on the deck, from then on, there was no longer a threat from the air, staring at the sunset like an egg yolk, Tang Qiuquan easily ordered: "The fleet immediately accelerates, and the Korean Strait will be opened tonight," the smoke of gunpowder has been left behind, and night has fallen in the Sea of Japan.

Akizumi returned to the command cabin and said to the operator: "Send a report, division headquarters, our fleet has engaged in a jī battle with the Japanese Navy's land-based aviation in the waters at the southern tip of the Japanese Sea, and after several hours of fighting, with the air force as the main force of air combat, the Japanese naval aviation has been completely annihilated, and is now sailing towards the Korean Strait, and the losses of our fleet, that is, the casualties, are as follows......

Seeing that the operator had finished sending this telegram, Qiuquan was silent for a while, the routine procedure had been completed, and next, it was time to tell Xiaoqiu another thing, he waved his hand to signal the operator to leave, and he personally sent the report to Tang Qiuli.

"Xiaoqiu, I tell you a piece of news, Yunfei this kid, in today's air battle, he was very brave, according to the judgment, the Japanese plane he shot down is very likely to be the supreme commander of the Japanese air combat formation that attacked our fleet, but after shooting down this Japanese plane, Yunfei's plane was unfortunately hit by a Japanese plane, and after parachuting, it was swept by a Japanese fighter jet and crashed into the Sea of Japan, and now its whereabouts are unknown, I have arranged for a ship to search and rescue, and there is no news so far."

"The Sea of Japan is the traditional control area of the Japanese Navy, after Yunfei falls into the water, any other situation may occur, if there is no news of Yunfei before nine o'clock tomorrow morning, it is estimated that this child may be sacrificed, Xiaoqiu, don't tell the fifth uncle and fifth aunt of Dingbian about this matter, so as not to worry about them, tomorrow, I will send more carrier-based aircraft to expand the search area, hoping to find something."

This is a telegram similar to a letter from home, Qiuquan doesn't want to go through anyone's hands, and on the recipient, the words "Transfer to the head of the teacher are also specially indicated", Qiuquan is a few years older than Tang Qiuli, because of age and xìng reasons, these children and nephews of the Tang family, usually not much close, in Qiuquan's eyes, are all children.

And Xiaoqiu is different, a few years older than Yunfei, and there are a lot of jiāo in the usual way, Qiuquan knows that between Tang Qiuli and Tang Yunfei, it is not only the relationship between uncle and nephew, but also the kind of friendship and affection between good friends, Yunfei has an accident, Xiaoqiu will definitely be sad.

The telegram had already been sent, and Autumn Springs were still sculptural, sitting upright, the bō waves in the Sea of Japan, in the voyage of the warship, jī pieces of broken water, huge and monotonous, looking out of the portholes, twinkling stars, bright jewels, inlaid in the velvety deep night, deep and distant, Qiu Quan's gaze, did not move for a long time.

Until the operational staff officer walked in and interrupted his musings, the staff officer said softly: "Report to the detachment commander, we are close to the Korean Strait, and in two hours, we will be about to pass Guò Tsushima Island, and the captain of the ship, Colonel Margotlovsky, please come over and discuss the most convenient way for the fleet to pass through the Tsushima Strait." ”

The only passage in and out of the southern tip of the Japanese Sea, the Korean Strait, is divided into two by Tsushima Island, which is like a mén bolt across the waterway, and this island is not far from Jeju Island at the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula, and across the sea from Iki Island at the northern tip of Kyushu Island on the Japanese mainland, called the Tsushima Strait.

If there is no lighthouse for night navigation, the danger of warships hitting the reef is very great, especially the two aircraft carriers, with large tonnage and deep draft, and it is possible that the fleet will be blocked on the Tsushima channel if there is a slight carelessness.

According to the intelligence department of the independent division, there are about two squadrons of Japanese marines stationed on the island, with navigation lighthouses, aeronautical control towers, and a small Japanese naval fleet, about one destroyer, three torpedo boats, and two minelayers, and if you add these military personnel, the strength of the Japanese Navy on Tsushima Island is about 1,300 people.

These are all potential dangers, and unless Tsushima is occupied and all the facilities on the island are controlled, it is very dangerous for the fleet to pass through the Tsushima Strait at night.

The commander of the fleet, Colonel Margotlovsky, was unsure of his attention, so he went to ask Qiuquan, in fact, according to his idea, after waiting for dawn, the fleet would be safest through the Tsushima Strait.
