Chapter 1174: Ambush of the Japanese Army (1)

In order to make Tang Qiuli's upcoming flight to Manila, Major General Le Yiqin, commander of the Air Force of the Independent Division and commander of the Southern Flying Group, flew from Nanning to Kunming to arrange for Tang Qiuli and his entourage to go to Manila for air escort.

The division commander's special plane took off from Nanning and crossed the South China Sea, a distance of nearly 14,500 kilometers, and there was no place to land and refuel on the way.

The addition of auxiliary fuel tanks to fighter planes can solve this problem, but that refers to normal flights, and the division commander's trip to Manila has already been hyped up and is well known; although it is not clear what day it is, this involves several countries, and the Investigation Department can guarantee that the Japanese spies will not get the exact time, and who can guarantee that the Japanese will not learn from other channels that the time of the meeting will be 15 September.

In other words, from now until 14 September, any day will be an opportunity for the Japanese to ambush on the way, and the flight route will pass through Yulin Airport on Hainan Island, the main field airfield for Japan's military aviation in Southeast Asia, and the Japanese will never let go of this good opportunity.

With intuition, Le Yiqin can feel that the sound of the Japanese sharpening their knives, the fighter with the auxiliary fuel tank, carrying more than double the fuel, if there is an air battle on the way, can only throw away the auxiliary fuel tank, otherwise, it will affect the speed and maneuverability, and can only become a live target for the Japanese fighters.

But then, there is nothing that can be done to continue the escort, after the air battle, the fighter who has run out of fuel cannot fall on the sea with a head, who will protect the safety of the division commander's special plane next? As for taking the boat and taking the sea route, Le Yiqin almost sprayed saliva on the face of the officer who proposed this construction, you or my soldier, your brain is in water?

The First and Third Fleets of the Japanese Navy roam in the waters of the South China Sea all the year round, and let the division commander sail on the vast sea by boat, so it is better to send the division commander directly to the guns of the Japanese, and the Japanese can launch an attack on the ship on which the division commander is riding at any time and place, and for the division commander, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

The sea route is not good, the air escort fighter group involves a lot of difficult problems, and Le Yiqin did not worry to death, but turned to scold the Americans, "What kind of fucking moth, what kind of bullshit Manila meeting is going to be good?" You can't fly to Kunming or Nanning, and the little devils won't beat you. ”

After scolding, I was angry, but there was still no solution to the problem, and I couldn't sneak away if I wanted to, the little devil must be on the route to Manila, staring at the blood-red eyes every day, staring at the appearance of the division commander's special plane, think about it, there is a chance to kill the number one person in the independent division, eradicate this fierce enemy, the little devil will never let go of such an opportunity.

There was no way, Le Yiqin had to hang his head and go to Tang Qiuli, his original intention was to advise the division commander, the road to Manila was full of dangers, and the aviation unit was really unsure, and the safety of the division commander could be guaranteed, and the division commander could not go or send someone to go.

Seeing Tang Qiuli and saying what he meant, Tang Qiuli smiled, "It's so fresh, there are still things that our Commander Le Da can't do?" There are more than 1,000 winged soldiers under his command, and more than 1,000 fighters of all kinds, so they can't protect my Tang Qiuli's safety? Are you making me dishonest to the Americans, to the people of the whole country, to be a man of his word? ”

Le Yiqin was embarrassed and almost cried, and said with a wry smile: "Division commander, don't make me happy, I'm almost sad to death, I've thought of any way, I'm not sure at all, the aviation is still the same opinion, please cancel this meeting, or send representatives to participate, we aviation don't want to be sinners for the ages!" In the case that the safety of the division commander cannot be guaranteed, if you strongly advocate that you go to the meeting, I Le Yiqin will be the first to refuse! Even if you remove me, that's the case! ”

Le Yiqin said, moved emotionally, his voice was a little choked, Tang Qiuli put away his smile, he was very moved in his heart, Le Yiqin is a guy who does not admit defeat, it is not easy to make him say these words, he handed Le Yiqin a cigarette, and said: "Yiqin, you, your eyes are just staring at your plane on land, why didn't you think that we also have an aircraft carrier!" ”

Le Yiqin's eyes flashed suddenly, slapped his head fiercely, jumped up suddenly, gave a military salute of "snap", and shouted loudly: "Thank you for the reminder from the division commander, this time, I can not only ensure the safety of the division commander's plane, but also make the little devil's plane suffer a big loss, I will immediately contact, not fly to Qingdao in person, meet with Commander Tang of the Navy, agree on a specific plan of action, and then submit it to you for approval!" ”

When Tang Qiuli returned to his residence, Kunming thought it was the beginning of the lanterns, pushed open the door of the living room, and suddenly froze, a charming female officer, with her hands behind her back, tilting her head, looking at him playfully, who would it be if it wasn't Mei Xue who was recuperating in Shanghai?

Tang Qiuli couldn't suppress his thoughts, rushed up, hugged Mei Xue's slender waist, picked her up, followed the mountain tiger behind him, and hurriedly said to the special guards: "Outside the guard, no one is allowed to disturb the division commander," After speaking, he gently covered the door with a smile, and in his heart, he couldn't help but think of his lover Ouyang Lan, who was far away in Dingbian.

Tang Qiuli held Mei Xue's slightly thin pretty face, carefully examined his wife's big black and white eyes, under the burning gaze of her husband, a red cloud flew on Mei Xue's face, and she looked more and more shy and cute, she had been married for more than two years, and her wife was still as shy as a little girl.

"Xue'er, aren't you recuperating in Shanghai? Why did you come to Kunming, by the way, are your injuries healed? You didn't run away without permission, did you? Tang Qiuli put his arms around his wife lovingly, sat on the edge of the bed, and asked half-jokingly and concernedly.

Mei Xue gave him a charming look, and said coquettishly: "It's been a few months, it's been fine, if you don't believe it, I'll give you a doctor's certificate, besides, your corps commander named Jiang Yanming comes to the hospital once a day, if the injury is not healed, he can't let me out of the hospital, for this, I still blame him, say it's your order?" Hmph, look at me like a prisoner! ”

Tang Qiuli laughed "hehe" and asked, "Why did you suddenly come to Kunming?" Mei Xue pursed her lips and smiled, "I learned from the newspaper that you are going to the Manila meeting, and you can't stay in the hospital anymore, you have to have someone to take care of by your side, I don't worry about you going by yourself, so I found Jiang Yanming, he heard it, strongly agreed, afraid that it would be too late, and specially sent a plane to send me to Kunming." ”

To tell the truth, Tang Qiuli originally didn't plan to let Mei Xue accompany him, there were many dangers along the way, maybe how many, he was reluctant to let his wife follow him on the adventure, but Mei Xue came unexpectedly, and when he met, Tang Qiuli really felt that he couldn't do without his wife, and he was newlywed after a long absence.

On the morning of 13 September, Le Yiqin planned a military operation against the Japanese army's air ambush conspiracy, the purpose of which was also to verify his guess: 28 fighter planes, guarding a large special plane, flew in the boundless clear sky, under the wings, the blue sea was the blue sea, the blue sky and the blue sea water were contrasting with each other, the water and the sky were the same color, and it was almost impossible to distinguish where there was the sky and where the sea was.

The group of planes flew over the airspace of Hainan Island, the Japanese Yulin base in Hainan, surprisingly quiet, it seemed that in broad daylight, all the Japanese air observation posts were collectively blind, and Le Yiqin, who flew in the position of leading the captain, had a sneer on the corner of his mouth, "This is called three hundred taels of silver here, and the little devils pretend to be deaf and dumb, which shows that they have a conspiracy." ”

Le Yiqin looked around at the sky as pure as a mirror, "Pay attention to the group, carefully observe the surrounding airspace, prevent the Japanese fighters from sneaking attack, the second echelon, keep the flight altitude, and don't expose the target." ”

Just yesterday, Vice Admiral Tang Qiuquan, commander of the naval fleet of the Independent Division, flew from the Qingdao Naval Base to Kunming, and arrived on the same plane, as well as the responsible persons of various functional departments of the fleet, and filled three transport planes.

Le Yiqin didn't want to wait for a minute, after leaving Tang Qiu's office, he immediately rushed to the airport, and flew to the Qingdao Naval Base in person. Gather a large group of relevant department personnel and move to Kunming in one go.

Then, an order was given: "The aircraft carrier fleet immediately departed and stood by in the waters of the median line of the South China Sea, the fleet was commanded by the first deputy commander, Rear Admiral Petrovsky, the captain of the aircraft carrier of the former Soviet Pacific Fleet, he was completely trustworthy, Qiuquan was doing things very safely, and the position of the fleet cruise, which was exactly the edge of the maximum combat radius of the roadbed aviation, was also the halfway point to Manila.

And he and Le Yiqin formulated this plan to lead the snake out of the hole, is to counter the air ambush of the Japanese aircraft, in that special plane, there is no Tang Qiuli at all, at this time Tang Qiuli, still leisurely in Kunming, with Mei Xue, bathed in the early autumn sunshine, enjoy the beautiful scenery of Dianchi Lake.

Just in front of the Leyiqin group, at the Yulin base in Hainan Province, Japan's Southeast Asian Dispatch Military Air Force, Hideki Harukawa, commander of the 143rd Fighter Wing, led 58 "Zero" fighters of his own wing, hovering at an altitude of several thousand meters, like a vicious wolf, with blood-red eyes, staring closely at the north, ready to pounce on it at any time and bite it hard.
