Major General Le Yiqin, commander of the Southern Flight Group of the Independent Division's Air Force, flew from the Myitkyina base of the Air Force to the Singapore military airport on a single plane, and a fighter plane of pure German blood slipped lightly on the runway of the airport, the fighter came to a standstill, and Le Yiqin, who was dressed in a flight combat uniform, jumped out of the cabin with agility.

Seeing Colonel Ge Zhenzhuang, chief of staff of the division headquarters, who came to greet him, Le Yiqin grabbed him and asked urgently: "Director Ge, give us a thorough understanding first, the division commander recruited me in a hurry this time, is there any important task?" ”

Ge Zhenzhuang smiled and didn't answer, Le Yiqin was anxious, and threatened: "I said Director Ge, your staff office is a department that deals with various troops, you, the director, can't stop running down often, and the next time you go to my brother's land, don't say I'll give you small shoes to wear!" ”

Ge Zhenzhuang smiled helplessly and said, "Commander Le, what do you want me to tell you, I don't know why the division commander summoned you, it probably has something to do with the war in Australia!" ”

Speaking kung fu, got into the jeep, and drove quickly to the city, Le Yiqin and Ge Zhenzhuang were in the same car, they both had old acquaintances, and their personal relationship was not bad, how could Le Yiqin let go of this opportunity to understand the division commander's intentions in advance, and thought to himself: "Ge Zhenzhuang, this guy, must know the truth, he didn't tell the truth, no matter what, he has to find out the true intentions of the division commander, so as to be prepared first, persuade the division commander, and strive to let the troops go up to fight!" ”

Thinking of this, Le Yiqin squinted at Ge Zhenzhuang for a while, and when he saw Ge Zhenzhuang sitting beside him, his heart was furious, and he said, "My Commander Le, don't you use such eyes to see if it is finished?" ”

To be honest, the honest Ge Zhenzhuang. It's really a bit of a shock to this major general of the aviation corps, who is known as a "warmonger", in terms of temper, Le Yiqin is the master of fire, and in terms of lip service, Le Yiqin is the same as the machine gun equipped on the fighter plane, which can be called unruly and as temperamental.

When Le Yiqin saw Ge Zhenzhuang begging for mercy, he smiled secretly in his heart, but said with a sneer: "Hmph, your staff office is the roundworm in the stomach of the division commander." You, the director, are even more roundworms among roundworms, you don't know what's going on, don't try to fool me with a few words, say it quickly. Why exactly? If I knew, you were deliberately hiding it from me. When you go to Myitkyina again. I'll let those brothers under my command pour you to death with a meal of liquor! ”

Ge Zhenzhuang cried out and said, "My Commander Leda, you are the chief of staff of me!" The core meeting of the division headquarters can be attended! ”

While laughing, the jeep arrived at the office building of the Arms Control Commission of Singapore. Le Yiqin didn't get any valuable information from Ge Zhenzhuang's mouth, so he had no way of knowing the purpose and reason why the division commander ordered him to come to Singapore. On the way to Tang Qiu's office, he had already prepared a number of response plans in his mind, all of which revolved around one point, that is, to allow the troops to have a fight!

Under the leadership of a captain staff officer, Le Yiqin and Ge Zhenzhuang arrived in front of the office of division commander Tang Qiuli, and the staff officer left, "Bang bang!" Le Yiqin knocked on the door, "Come in!" Inside the office, a gentle voice came.

Le Yiqin pushed open the hidden door, and in the spacious office of the division commander, there were only two people, the division commander and the chief of staff, Zhao Yuhe, who was very different from the scene of the crowded large-scale military meeting he imagined, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Tang Qiuli spoke first, "What? Le Yiqin, I haven't seen you for a few days, you don't know me anymore! ”

Le Yiqin hurriedly saluted, "Report to the division commander, chief of staff, and commander of the Southern Flight Group of the Air Corps Le Yiqin was ordered to arrive and ask the division commander for instructions!" ”

"You sit first! Le Yiqin, do you know why I transferred you over? After Tang Qiuli returned the salute, he first beckoned Le Yiqin to sit down, and then said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Le Yiqin grinned and replied honestly: "Master, I really don't know what the reason is!" ”

Tang Qiuli glanced at Ge Zhenzhuang with a smile, and said to Le Yiqin: "This is not your style, so you didn't think about other channels to get some information?" ”

Ge Zhenzhuang smiled bitterly, Le Yiqin scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I tried, but Director Ge didn't say it, I thought about several possibilities myself, but I didn't have a score in my heart!" ”

Tang Qiu couldn't help but be happy, "I said Le Yiqin, looking at Director Ge Zhenzhuang's expression, I know that you are bullying honest people again, you must have used all the threats and temptations!" Suddenly, his tone changed and he said, "There is a big battle that needs to be fought by your Southern Flying Group!" ”

Le Yiqin's eyes lit up at that time, Huo Ran stood up and said loudly: "Please rest assured, we promise to complete the task!" ”

Tang Qiuli was stunned and said, "Le Yiqin, what kind of task is it, I haven't said it yet, you can guarantee that it can be completed, it's too fast, right?" ”

Le Yiqin didn't care, waved his hand with a big grin, and said arrogantly: "Division commander, don't you know the combat effectiveness of our Southern Flying Group, no matter what kind of task, give it to us to rest assured!" ”

Tang Qiuli simply said eight words, "The spirit is commendable, proud and arrogant!" ”

Le Yiqin was wilted at that time, and the division commander's evaluation was not terrible, but he was afraid that he might say something later, "Come to me as a staff officer for three months, collect your heart, and change this arrogant problem!" ”

Tang Qiuli glanced at it, sat back on the sofa, and Le Yiqin, who was obviously much more honest, said to Ge Zhenzhuang: "Director Ge, let Director Chen of the Communications Department come to me!" Then, he said to Zhao Yuhe: "Chief of Staff, you assign tasks to Commander Le!" ”

This time, Le Yiqin did not jump up in a hurry, but stood up honestly, looked at Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, and walked towards the large map of the Southwest Pacific region, Zhao Yuhe pointed to the location of Australia and said: "According to the intelligence of the Intelligence Department, the 100,000 British and Australian troops who urgently returned to Australia from Luzon Island have all boarded the ships and are on their way back to Australia. ”

"According to the judgment of the division commander, the Second and Fourth Fleets of the Japanese Navy operating in the waters of the Coral Sea and the Solomon Islands will definitely intercept and kill the British and Australian transport fleets that have returned to the rescue. The specific combat area should be in the sea area between the Solomon Islands and the Coral Sea, and the division commander has a more specific explanation. ”

Le Yiqin's heart was simply happy, secretly clenching his fists, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh out loud, twitching the corners of his mouth, trying to maintain a strict expression, that look, not to mention how hard it was, said: "Please instruct the teacher!" ”

Tang Qiuli looked at him and said slowly: "Le Yiqin, don't take it lightly, the Japanese army has more than 1,000 fighters and bombers in the Southwest Pacific Theater, and in terms of the number of planes it has, it is not weaker than your flight group, this is one of them, and in terms of combat radius, you are a long-distance attack, and the Japanese army is taking off nearby, at this point, you will suffer a big loss." ”

"Moreover, the opponents you are facing this time, in addition to the Japanese land-based aviation, there are also carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carriers of the Japanese naval fleet, and the number of Japanese land-based and sea-based aviation aircraft combined, will exceed your Southern Flying Group, so when you formulate a specific battle plan, you must take the above factors into account, in addition, in order to reduce your pressure, I will order the fleet aviation to contain the Japanese aviation on the two islands of Sumatra and Kalimantan for you, and the rest, It's up to you to figure it out! ”

After listening to the division commander's words emphasizing so many difficulties, Le Yiqin relaxed, how is the Japanese aviation force in the southwest Pacific theater as a whole, in his heart, in terms of the number of planes alone, he has to slightly surpass the Japanese air force, plus the Japanese Navy's carrier-based aircraft, that is, it is roughly the same, even if it is more, it will not be much, the fleet aviation can at least contain one and a half Japanese land-based air forces, and the next thing will be easy to do!

As for the fuel problem of the combat radius, it can be solved by adding auxiliary fuel tanks, and the rest is the tactical arrangement, Le Yiqin quickly sorted out several sets of combat plans in his mind, constantly adjusted and combined, he didn't notice that he had fallen into a deep state of thinking, watching Le Yiqin raise his eyebrows and think hard, Tang Qiuli and Zhao Yuhe didn't bother him.

Chen Feng, director of the Communications Department, and Ge Zhenzhuang, chief of the General Staff Office, appeared at the door of the office, Chen Feng was just about to shout a report, Tang Qiuli stared and waved his hand to stop him, Le Yiqin's thinking was running rapidly, and various plans were constantly overturned and revised, and finally, a rough battle plan was formed, and gradually matured, after more than 20 minutes, Le Yiqin got up and said: "Division Commander, I already have a rough plan!" ”

Tang Qiuli raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh! Say it and listen to it, and everyone can study it!"

Le Yiqin walked to the map, pointed to the location of the Coral Sea and said: "Division commander, my plan involves this, taking the Singapore Field Airport as the starting point, in this way, we can greatly shorten our combat radius, and we can also reduce fuel consumption, and the aircraft group will take off from the Singapore Airport, pass through the Java Sea, Nusa Tenggara Islands, and Arafura Sea, and reach the Coral Sea combat airspace!" ”

Tang Qiuli said quietly: "The plan is good, but have you considered it, the capacity of the Singapore Field Airport is not enough to accommodate the fleet of your entire flight group, this is the first, second, what if the Japanese fighters passing through the airspace come out to entangle and intercept, it will continue to thin out the number of your fighters and delay your time, if this happens, how many planes can you reach the war zone, how many are left?" ”
