Chapter 1773: The Air Battle in Liaodong Bay (Part II)

With the shout of Major General Akitsu, a staff officer of Major Zo knocked on the door and came in, and said respectfully: "Your Excellency Commander, what do you command?" ”

Akijin said helplessly: "Call back to Yamada Daisa, commander of the Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet of Manchukuo, our air force will immediately dispatch a fighter group to support the battle of his fleet, please Yamada Daisa must hold on until the arrival of the aircraft group!" ”

"Also, convey my order, the first to fifth wings of fighters, immediately attack, rush to the warring sea area, and support the Bohai Sea cruise fleet!"

The staff officer repeated the order, and then left in a hurry, Major General Akitsu was a little upset, the Third Air Force, a total of only seven fighter wings, sent out five at once, almost all of them, in case of a mistake, the number of the Third Air Force, I am afraid that it will not be able to be saved, and the headquarters of the Kwantung Army also has to give itself a charge of unfavorable operations, from the bottom of his heart, with Liu Cuigang's Northern Flight Group, Major General Akitsu is not a little sure.

After several years of tug-of-war, and never stop skirmishes, it was the Third Air Force that suffered, and Rear Admiral Akitsu instinctively felt that Liu Cuigang's appetite was not only in a small Bohai Sea cruising fleet, but also in Yamada's little bit of oil and water, it was not worth Liu Cuigang's big move, good guy, three bomber regiments, two fighter regiments, and more than 300 planes, just for Yamada's dozen broken warships, he didn't believe that he was killed.

Trap, it must be a trap, although Rear Admiral Akijin sensed that it might be Liu Cuigang's conspiracy, but he had to dispatch fighters, if he did not move, Yamada's fleet would be wiped out, and he would definitely not be able to get out of it, after all, in the formation sequence, the Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet of Manchukuo. The battle sequence subordinate to the Kwantung Army, if something happened, it is very likely that the General Headquarters, in order to give a satisfactory explanation to the naval side, will use itself as a scapegoat.

Therefore, knowing that there was a conspiracy, he had to dispatch fighter jets, which is where Rear Admiral Akizu is most entangled, and at the same time, for the typical dilapidated and restless Yamada Shingonori Osa who belongs to the navy. My heart was filled with disgust, and when this battle began, my heart went up and down.

Five fighter wings of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army took off from Wafangdian, Shilipu, and Hengdaohe airfields, respectively, and flew on a trajectory. It was immediately exposed to the radar screens of more than a dozen ground-based radar stations of the Northern Flight Group, including information such as altitude, speed, course, sorties, and batches. Immediately summarized to the Jinzhou ground air command war room. And quickly reported to the commander of the flight group, Liu Cuigang.

Liu Cuigang, who was sitting on the fighter plane, breathed a sigh of relief, the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army finally showed up, to say that Liu Cuigang had tried his best for this battle. First of all, he was troubled by the weather problem, and almost annoyed Lieutenant Colonel Xu Qingya, the head of the meteorological department, and finally the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and he was worried that the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army would not take the bait. The well-prepared battle was in vain, and he himself felt a little tired between the gains and losses.

Now it's okay, everything is going according to the original plan, as long as the little devil's fighter shows up, there is no reason to run back, that Qiujin can't fight if he wants to, Liu Cuigang ordered: "Air Finger, convey my order to the first echelon mixed aircraft group, thirty minutes later, carry out a devastating attack on the Japanese fleet, don't let go of a little devil's warship, after the attack is over, return immediately!" ”

The straight-line distance of Liaodong Bay is not too wide, and the fighters flying at high speed fly in the opposite direction, and it will take less than thirty minutes to meet in the airspace of Liaodong Bay, and thirty minutes is enough time for the first echelon mixed aircraft group to kill the fleet of the little devils and return home safely.

After giving the order, Liu Cuigang stretched out his hand to cover the cockpit canopy and asked: "Empty finger, the second echelon is ready, can it take off?" ”

The ground commander replied: "One, you can take off!" ”

Liu Cuigang pushed the joystick fiercely, the fighter plane let out a roar, slid onto the runway, accelerated rapidly, pulled the nose of the plane, and went straight into the blue sky, his wingman, followed closely, and then, a group of two planes in formation, rushed into the sky in turn, at the same time, several other field airfields, the flight regiments participating in the battle, also quickly rose into the air, after the rendezvous in the airspace of Huludao, facing the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army, the group composed of five fighter wings, flew straight over.

Jinzhou, in the war room of the East Pointing Headquarters, Tang Qiuli and Liu Tiehan looked very relaxed, drinking tea while chatting, the framework deployment of the Northeast Campaign has been basically completed, originally, according to the original plan, this morning, Tang Qiuli was going to fly to Kulun in Outer Mongolia, but in order to make Liu Cui just be able to fight this battle freely, he postponed his departure by one day.

Liu Tiehan looked at Tang Qiuli and said with a smile: "Division commander, Liu Cui has just held back for a few years, and finally seized this opportunity, it must be a big fight, okay, eight fighter regiments, more than 500 fighters, almost all of them are out of the nest, and they have invested a lot of money, don't you know, this guy, usually grinds me a lot, I originally wanted to ask the division commander to give him a chance, this is good, as soon as you come, you will send the favor out, hahaha!" ”

Saying that, Liu Tiehan laughed, Tang Qiuli was also happy, and replied: "Brother Tiehan, don't you blame me for robbing you of the opportunity to give favors, don't worry, as long as the battle to recover the Northeast starts, you have a lot of favors to send, I'm afraid that when the time comes, Liu Cuigang will be busy complaining, and it's strange if you don't call you Liu Yan Wang behind your back, at the beginning, when I was in the Indochina Peninsula, Le Yiqin was also like this, these two people, there are too many similarities, they are simply the second general of the air force!" ”

Liu Tiehan laughed, and was about to tease a few more words, when a staff officer came in, "Report to the division commander and deputy division commander, I received a report from the Jinzhou Air Command of the Northern Flight Group, five minutes ago, the commander of the group, Major General Liu Cuigang, commanding the second echelon fighter group, has taken off, in addition, received a report from the ground radar station that five fighter wings have taken off from Wafangdian, Shilipu, and Hengdaohe airfields of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army on the Liaodong Peninsula, with a number of more than 300 aircraft!" ”

"Good!" Liu Tiehan patted the armrest of the sofa and shouted, "Liu Cuigang met the enemy with superior troops, and used a knife to kill chickens, which won the three flavors of the division commander's command and operation, and this battle has a great success, which is predictable!" He added.

At this time, on the sea surface of Liaodong Bay, Colonel Lin Zhixian, the air commander of the first mixed aircraft group of the Northern Flying Group, immediately felt as if he had removed the tight spell after receiving the order of the air command.

Lin Zhixian immediately ordered: "All bomber formations, immediately attack the remaining little devil warships, within twenty minutes, end the battle, and then return!" ”

It's pitiful to say, Yamada Shingonori's fleet, now there are only four warships left, and the remaining eleven have been killed by the haunting and entangled independent division bombers, in fact, Yamada Daisa didn't know that if it wasn't for the sake of fishing out the fighter group of the Third Air Force, with the fleet commander's flag hanging on the "True Dragon", in the first time, the opportunity would be blown into pieces that could no longer be broken.

However, Yamada Daisa's good fortune came to an end, because he was horrified to see that there were more than 30 bombers of the independent division and more than a dozen fighters, all of which pounced on them in one go, and the wings almost covered the sunlight over the warship.

Then, it was a black bomb, screaming and falling from the air, and quickly amplified in front of Yamada Daisa's eyes, and after a few loud noises, the flagship of the "True Dragon", which had done a lot of evil, was like a huge firework in the thick smoke and flames, and the fire detonated the ammunition in the cabin, and the "boom" made a loud noise, and the hull was broken into two, and Yamada Daisa didn't even have time to leave his last words, and turned into a puddle of ashes in the waves of Liaodong Bay.

In less than 20 minutes, the remaining four Japanese warships all disappeared into the sea, and the Japanese sailors and officers on the warships did not even have a chance to release the lifeboats. Then, he added, "Tonight, I will be the east, and I will invite the brethren to drink!" ”

After speaking, Lin Zhixian regretted it, my God, even the bomber crew members, with fighter pilots, together, there must be more than a thousand people, after a meal, I am afraid that I will become the head of the regiment in the Northern Flight Group, the first one because of the treat, he will become the head of the poor barehead, no way, what the master says, the spit is a nail, how can he regret it, so he has to bite the bullet.

Lin Zhixian secretly prayed, hoping that ordinary pilots would weigh their own weight and take the initiative not to participate, just a few regiment commanders and more than a dozen captain-level officers, they could still afford it, otherwise, in the remaining months, they would really have to tighten their belts!

Of course, Liu Cuigang didn't know that Lin Zhixian, the No. 1 main general under his command, secretly regretted because of a sentence, after receiving Lin Zhixian's report, Liu Cuigang was completely relieved, and the bomber returned to the air, so he had no worries, and the second echelon could let go of his hands and feet.

On Liu Cuigang's airborne radar screen, the small black dots that jumped were getting closer and closer, and they were already close to the distance of the aerial fight.

He ordered: "The third and fourth regiments are the left flanks, and the fifth and sixth regiments are the right flanks, climb the altitude, covertly engage the enemy from both flanks, and encircle the little devil fighter group, and the seventh to tenth regiments, follow me to attack the little devil's group head-on, let go of the hands and feet, first disrupt the air formation of the little devils, and then divide and surround them, and fight hard, not a single little devil's fighter plane will not let go, start attacking!" ”

After giving the order, Liu Cuigang pushed the accelerator violently, and the fighter plane trembled and roared, like an arrow from the string, and plunged straight towards the Japanese fighter group, his wingman followed closely, and the commander's brave action frightened all the pilots who participated in the battle.
