At this moment, he is not a group commander commanding more than 1,000 aircraft, but more like a brave and fearless soldier, breaking through with a single knife and killing the fighter group of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army without hesitation.

The commanders of several other fighter regiments who followed Liu Cuigang's frontal assault broke out in a cold sweat, my God, there are not a few cats and dogs on the other side, but more than 300 little devil fighters, in case the commander has any accidents, he can't make up for his mistakes if he dies, I didn't expect the boss to be so impulsive!

"The first brigade, immediately follow the commander to attack, cover, if the commander rubs a little skin, don't come back!" "First Squadron of the Second Brigade, cover! Cover! Don't let the Commander charge alone! "The second squadron of the third brigade, speed up, rush ahead of the commander, be sure to cover him!" The commanders of several fighter regiments issued a large number of orders to their respective brigades one after another.

With a chaotic sound of orders, the fighters who followed closely behind Liu Cuigang already had more than a dozen squadrons and more than 100 fighters, naturally, the first assault wave was formed, Liu Cuigang turned around, looked at the fighter group that was following behind him, and grinned, "It's done, the attack wave of the frontal assault is driven by itself, the main point, it is this overwhelming and indomitable momentum!" ”

In fact, Liu Cuigang didn't want to fight happily, he hadn't killed the little devil's plane with his own hands for several years, if he didn't have an itchy hand, it was nonsense, how could he do it, in order not to put the commander in danger, the other fighter pilots were desperately accelerating, so that Liu Cuigang fell behind, looking at the fighter planes, flying in front of his own plane. Liu Cuigang smiled bitterly and muttered in his heart: "These guys! It's like you can't fight! ”

Since his desire to personally charge into battle failed, Liu Cuigang immediately changed his role back to the commander, pulled the nose of the plane, and the fighter quickly climbed into the air, occupying the position of controlling the overall situation, and commanding the air battle.

The high-power airborne radar showed the position and situation of the aircraft groups of the enemy and us at a glance in front of Liu Cuigang's eyes. Judging from the current situation, their own aircraft group has entered the attack position, while the Japanese aircraft group has not yet discovered the approaching enemy. That's the beauty of the radar, plus four fighter regiments outflanked on both wings. This air battle. Liu Cuigang could have foreseen the result.

The commander of the air group of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army, Takeshita Tsedasa, commanding the fighter group, is hurrying to the area where the Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet of Manchukuo is under attack. He is engaged in staff work, and he is very rich in theory, but he has no actual combat experience at all, today. It was the first time to command a group of aircraft and carry out combat missions.

Before coming to serve in the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army, Takeshita Osa had also heard of the name of Liu Cuigang, commander of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division's Air Force, and together with Le Yiqin, the commander of the Southern Flying Group, he was called the two major aerial swords of Tang Qiuli, the devil of China, by the Imperial Air Force circles.

After serving in the imperial military circles for many years, he has never had the experience of fighting overseas, so he cannot personally experience the strong combat effectiveness of the independent division troops, and in addition, in Japan, whether it is the military or the people, has a long-standing contempt for that oriental country, Takeshita Daisa is inevitably tainted with arrogance and despises the faults of the Chinese.

This kind of problem, working in the staff department, is understandable, on the contrary, it can reflect the spirit of the imperial soldiers, but once the command of the troops to fight, it is often a fatal consequence, and this consequence is directly reflected in Takeshita Daisa's command of the air formation.

At this time, the group of five fighter wings of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army was already approaching the theater of operations, and according to normal practice, there should be no formation to enter a combat state, ready to meet sudden battles at any time, at the very least, a part of the fighters of the formation should be ordered to climb in height and seize a favorable position, and Takeshita Daisa's order was, "All wings must not be dispersed, and maintain a cruising formation!" ”

Takeshita Osa's order, in the usual alert patrol, is understandable, but this is rushing to the battlefield, at any time may occur encounters, Takeshita Osa is inexperienced, the commander of several fighter wings of the Third Air Force, that is an old bird who has been crawling and rolling for many years, very experienced, in the entanglement with the Northern Flying Group for several years, no less losses, but also knows the independent division aviation pilots, that terrifying combat effectiveness.

Chief of Staff Takeshita's order was obviously to put the formation in a passive position, once it was attacked by the enemy, it would be taken by surprise, and an old qualified wing commander couldn't help but remind: "Your Excellency Chief of Staff, the department believes that the formation we should adopt at present is to expand the course of the two wings in the formation to the left and right wings respectively, one is to expand the warning range, and the other is to protect the safety of the two wings of the formation. ”

It should be said that the construction of this wing commander is the most suitable plan, if Takeshita Daisa adopts such a formation from the beginning, and then, Liu Cuigang's battle will not be so easy to fight, and it will not be easy to completely annihilate or severely damage the Japanese fighter group.

Takeshita Osato is not a stubborn person, and he himself knows that in terms of actual combat experience, he is definitely not as good as these old fritters who have been fighting in Manchuria for many years, and this Jian yì seems to be more perfect, and there is no harm in commanding the aircraft group for the first time.

Takeshita Dazuo overlooked the sea surface of Liaodong Bay with rippling blue waves, glanced at the clear sky, and did not feel the danger at all, but he still decided to accept Jian Yì, and was just about to issue an order, in the field of vision, a bunch of small black dots suddenly appeared, which quickly enlarged in front of him, it was a group of fighters who pounced on him like falcons, and Takeshita Daisa only had time to shout "Enemy attack!" "The sky was already covered with enemy fighters, and a series of flying ballistics appeared in front of me.

The attack came so suddenly, the first attack wave group of the Northern Flying Group, like a heavy and sharp giant axe, split the Japanese group in half at once, disrupting its formation. In the first round, the chief of staff of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army and commander of the air group, Takeshita Takeshita Takedasa, was killed, and more than a dozen fighters were shot down.

Liu Cuigang, who was hovering in the sky, witnessed the whole process and shouted excitedly, "Okay! Well played! Frontal assault group, continue to divide the group of little devils, outflank the group on both wings, press up as fast as possible, take advantage of his chaos, and kill him! ”

The number of fighters in Liu Cuigang's group was almost more than double that of the Japanese fighter group, and it was a close-range surprise attack, first killing the commander of the Japanese air group.

More than 800 fighters on both sides began to fly up and down to catch each other, and the clear sky was full of ballistics, and from time to time fighters were blown into pieces in the air, or with thick smoke and flames, they plunged headlong into the sea, and from the very beginning, the battle was one-sided.

Major General Akitsu, commander of the Wafangdian base of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army, began to feel restless and always had a bad premonition after the fighters of the five wings were dispatched, especially after the Bohai Fleet of Manchukuo suddenly lost contact.

"Communications staff officer, did Commander Yamada send a telegram? What is the current situation of the Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet? "This is already Major General Akizu, I don't know how many times I have asked anxiously!

The communications staff officer replied truthfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, since we lost contact with the Bohai Sea Patrol Fleet, so far, we have not received any news!" ”

Major General Akitsu suddenly became furious and shouted, "What the hell is that troublemaker guy Yamada doing? My five fighter wings went to the rescue, but there was no news from him, who could answer me, what was he going to do? ”

No wonder Major General Akitsu lost his temper, the rescue group had already been dispatched, but there was no movement on Yamada's side, what is the current battlefield situation, he doesn't know anything, how to command the operation, can he let the fighters of the five wings wander blindly over Liaodong Bay?

In the office, there was only the roar of Rear Admiral Akitsu, and more than a dozen staff officers, looking at His Excellency the Commander who was furious, were silent, and after a while, a staff officer of Nakasa said cautiously: "Your Excellency Commander, there is a bad judgment in the department, I am afraid that Commander Yamada's fleet has already been loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, otherwise, it is impossible to explain the practice of not contacting us at the critical juncture of the war!" ”

Rear Admiral Akitsu was taken aback, and instantly understood the front and rear joints, this is a trap, it is a trap set by Liu Cuigang for himself, attacking Yamada's fleet, but in order to fish out his own fleet, the aircraft group has been dispatched, and, approaching the engagement area, Yamada's fleet no longer has to save zài, so, twenty minutes ago, Liu Cuigang killed the killer, and it was the time when Yamada's fleet lost contact with him.

Major General Akitsu roared anxiously: "Quick, quickly order Chief of Staff Takeshita to lead the group to return!" It's still too late! "Now that you know that it is Liu Cuigang's trap, there is no need to drill it, not to mention, it is pointless to rescue the Yamada fleet.

Another staff officer said gloomily: "It's late, Your Excellency Commander, I just received an urgent telegram from the aircraft group, our aircraft group was attacked by the large aircraft group of the independent division in the airspace 200 kilometers south of Huludao, and the chief of staff of Takeshita has unfortunately been martyred, and the aircraft group and the independent division aircraft group are in a fierce battle, and they cannot leave the battlefield!" ”
