Chapter 1274: Review after Loss
Looking at Takasaki's landline, which exploded into pieces in front of his eyes, Le Yiqin grinned, "These boys, their hands are fast enough, is there a first-come, first-served rule?" ”
When he was about to reprimand Wu Zhixian for a few words, in a blink of an eye, Wu Zhixian took his wingman and pounced on another Japanese fighter plane who was struggling desperately in the midst of the encirclement, and did not even give him a chance.
Le Yiqin even played as if he was playing, when he attacked a squadron of Japanese fighters led by Takasaki, the strike on the Japanese bomber formation was nearing the end, and more than 30 Japanese bombers were determining the bombing target.
"Da Da Da," a machine gun, the Japanese bombers were full of smoke, like fried chickens, and fled around with injuries, the fighters of the ** division. Two or three of them surrounded a Japanese bomber, which would give them a chance to escape, and Maekawa Daisa's bomber, which was given priority, was poured into the fuselage with more than a hundred machine-gun bullets.
Maekawa Daisa's right chest, sitting in the driver's seat, was lucky to be pierced through the bloody hole by a few machine gun bullets, and when he was dying, he looked desperately at the sky around him, hoping to see Takasaki Daisa's fighter group, but what he saw was the ** division fighter flying everywhere, chasing his own bomber, and what he saw was the bullet that shot into the fuselage of the imperial bomber, and the bomber that exploded into a black smoke ball in the air.
"Boom" with a loud bang, the bombers of Maekawa, after being poured into the last dozen machine gun bullets, turned into fragments scattered in the sky, and on the ground, the soldiers of the tank unit of the ** division had already drilled out of the tank, sat on the ground, and watched with great interest. The air battle that happened in front of his eyes, every time a Japanese fighter or bomber was smashed to pieces, on the ground. There was a cheer.
Le Yiqin scanned the airspace, and there was not a single little devil's fighter or bomber, "Count the results." See if there are any fish that slip through the net? He ordered, "Report to the first, the first regiment completes the intended target, the second regiment completes, the third regiment completes, and the fifth regiment completes." ”
Le Yiqin muttered, "It's not enjoyable." All returned, "The fighters of the ** division, lined up in a neat formation, circled around the tank unit assembly area, and then flew in the direction of Myitkyina airfield, on the ground. Fighters of the tank troops, throwing up their hats in their hands, in their own way. Farewell comrades-in-arms triumphantly.
Le Yiqin called: "Captain Gao Xiang of the Second Brigade of the Third Regiment, please answer when you hear it!" In the headset, Gao Xiang's excited voice came, "No. 1, Gao Xiang received, the little devil plane is coming, how many planes have slipped through the net, is it enough for our second brigade to eat?" ”
Le Yiqin opened his mouth, this is really difficult to answer, Gao Xiang, this guy. is also a master who sees a little devil plane, so he doesn't want to rush up, "The air battle is over, none of the Japanese air formations have missed the net, your brigade will return immediately!" He said in as calm a tone as he could.
When Gao Xiang heard this, he fried the pot at that time. "No. 1, you are biased, other brigades are making a scene, you prefer our brigade to catch up with the cold stove, this is not fair, how can I explain to my brothers?" Le Yiqin was speechless, so she simply turned off the communication switch, and didn't listen or be upset.
In the air battle over Yangon, from the beginning to the end, in less than an hour, the Southern Flying Group of the ** Division dispatched more than 160 fighters to completely annihilate the air formation of the Japanese army rushing tank unit and more than 50 Japanese fighters and bombers at the cost of zero casualties.
The calls between the pilots, without missing a trace, were all heard in the ears of Tang Qiuli, Shanhu and Liu Xinlan, Liu Xinlan laughed so much that Shanhu couldn't hold back the sound of the urn and laughed angrily, Tang Qiuli shook his head while laughing.
I really don't know how to evaluate these living treasures under Le Yiqin, to be honest, he likes the pilots from the bottom of his heart, this kind of fearless mental state of despising the Japanese army and actively seeking war, is this the soldier of the ** division, all he wants is this spirit!
Seeing Liu Xinlan's smile like a peach blossom, Tang Qiuli said: "Xinlan, immediately call Deputy Division Commander Feng and Commander Li, those little shrimps staring at our tank troops, take them all in one net, they have lost their use value," Liu Xinlan agreed, and hurriedly went out to convey Tang Qiuli's order.
Le Yiqin landed at the Myitkyina Air Force Field Airfield and instructed the chief of operations who came to greet him: "Notify all the pilots of the units participating in the battle to go to the conference room and make a battle summary." This is not only the rule of the air force, but also the rule of all units of the ** division, and it is the strictest rigid rule of division commander Tang Qiuli.
The chief of operations grabbed Le Yiqin and said, "The latest order of the division," Le Yiqin was overjoyed and asked, "There is a new mission?" The chief of operations smiled bitterly and replied: "Commander, you better see for yourself!" ”
Le Yiqin took the telegram suspiciously, unfolded it, and looked at it, "Major General Le Yiqin, commander of the Southern Flight Group of the Air Force, in accordance with the order of the division commander, the first thing you will do after returning to the flight is to immediately write down the detailed process of today's air battle in Yangon, and report it to the division commander before seven o'clock this evening, and convey the original words of the division commander, tell Sù Le Yiqin, don't try to fool me with a piece of paper and a half." ”
Le Yiqin's eyes widened, pointed to the telegram, and said to the Minister of War: "This, this, what the hell is going on?" The chief of operations whispered to Le Yiqin: "Commander, you didn't make any mistakes, did you?" Looking at the teacher's meaning, it is to see if you automatically admit your mistakes. ”
Le Yiqin shouted that he was wronged, and the process of today's air battle, after the movie, he didn't find out where he was wrong, he was not afraid of fighting, he was afraid of these dance and ink things, as soon as he picked up the pen, his head was three big, he looked at his war minister as if asking for help, the war minister spread his hands, and said something that made Le Yiqin extremely depressed, "Commander, I didn't participate in the battle in person, I can't help!" ”
Le Yiqin would never have thought that it was the sentence of Lieutenant Colonel Wu Zhixian, the commander of the Second Fighter Regiment, "going to the meeting with a single sword", which made Tang Qiuli suspect that he was brave and ruthless, risking his life, and forgetting that he was a supreme commander and had the heavy responsibility of commanding the overall situation, so he had this order.
The area where the air battle took place, not far from Yangon, the process of the air battle, not only the troops of the first division, but also the Japanese troops in the city of Yangon, also saw it, and the Japanese officers and soldiers saw that they were proud of the eagles in the air of the Japanese Empire, which were cut off their horses and blown into pieces in the air by the first division.
Ito's original idea of boosting the morale of the troops not only did not come true, but instead allowed his officers and soldiers to witness a terrible aerial battle scene in which imperial planes were slaughtered, which was a big blow to the morale of the Japanese troops.
The land route is cut off, the sea reinforcements have not yet been seen, the only hope is air contact, and now, even this road has been cut off by the planes of the ** division, the lonely army, the lonely city, can Rangoon still be able to hold it? Ito was self-defeating, lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and moreover, he smashed flesh and blood flying sideways.
Kawashima's voice was hoarse, and he shouted in despair for the last time: "Takasaki Daisa, I am the ground command post in Yangon, please answer when you hear it, please answer it when you hear it!" In the headphones, except for the sound of "rustling", there was a deathly silence, Takasaki Osa was like a mud cow entering the sea, and there was no news, Kawashima had been calling for more than an hour, and his voice was hoarse.
Kawashima sat heavily on the chair and was stunned for a while, although the weather in Yangon at noon in November was still warm as usual, but he felt the cold to the bone, this cold, from his heart, the sudden attack launched by the ** division today, although the imperial army did not lose a position, but the attack of the ** division was not repulsed by the imperial army.
What is even more terrifying is that the attack on Yangon by the troops of the Tongguò** Division today confirmed one thing, they can rely on the tank troops to easily break through the first line of defense of the imperial army, and force into the city, and in the morning, Kawashima is like having a nightmare.
First of all, the outer trench of Commander-in-Chief Ito, which was regarded as the backbone of the defense, was razed to the ground by the dense artillery shells of the ** division, and then, the Burmese volunteers, of more than 18,000 people, were beaten to pieces and flesh and blood in front of him, and now, in front of his eyes, more than 50 planes of the air force were blown into pieces in the air.
Needless to say, according to the order of Commander-in-Chief Ito, there is no news of the dozens of reconnaissance teams sent out so far, and they must be more than lucky, Kawashima believes that starting from the unusually ferocious shelling of the ** Division last night to the jade shattering of the air formation of the military air force, it is a series of conspiracy by Tang Qiuli.
Moreover, this conspiracy is interlocking, it cannot be said to be seamless, and now it seems that there are many flaws, for example, why in the case of attacking Shun lì, Tang Qiuli suddenly stopped the attack, the time and method of the retreat of the ** division's tanks, and the time and way of the retreat of the ** division's tanks, as well as allowing the imperial army reconnaissance team to easily discover the assembly place of the ** division's tanks.
Thus, attracting the air formation of the military air force to be dispatched, and then exceeding the number of planes by several times, the entire fleet of the Imperial Army was shattered, from the ground to the sky, it was a huge trick and conspiracy, and it was this trick and conspiracy full of loopholes, but General Ito, who was known as the veteran general of the Imperial Army, was fooled, and of course, he was also fooled.
However, Kawashima does not think that he is unsuspecting and fooled, at least, if he has full command, the Burmese volunteers will not be completely annihilated, and they will not send reconnaissance teams to find the assembly place of the ** division tanks, there will be no losses of the air force later, Kawashima laughed bitterly at himself, this may be what the Chinese call "hindsight", right?
