Chapter 21: Attack

October 11th, 8 o'clock in the morning. In the East China Sea, 100 nautical miles from the island of Taiwan and 50 nautical miles from the coast of Zhejiang, more than 20 ships flying the Japanese flag are moored. Among these ships, the most striking are the four aircraft carriers with fighter planes on their decks. These four aircraft carriers are the most powerful of all Japanese aircraft carriers at present. They are "Akagi", "Kaga", "Soryu", and "Flying Dragon". "Akagi" and "Kaga" are both heavy aircraft carriers, with a carrying capacity of 91 aircraft for the former and 90 for the latter; "Canglong" and "Feilong" both belong to the medium-sized Canglong class, and the number of carrier aircraft is relatively small, but it has also reached 72.

The fact that the four main aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy were dispatched together to deal with the same enemy was unprecedented in the history of the Japanese Navy, and it shows the Japanese people's determination to succeed in the Cadet Army. In other words, in the first battle of Nanjing, Ouyang Yun really provoked the little devil, which was why he got such a "courtesy".

In the captain's office of the "Akagi," the commander of the Combined Fleet, Senior Admiral Mitsumasa Yonechi, was discussing the latest battle situation with Vice Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, vice commander of the Ministry of the Navy, and Rear Admiral Narumi Inoue, who was also the director of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Ministry of the Navy.

These three people are known as the Iron Triangle of the Japanese Navy, and ironically, they all oppose the invasion of China and belong to the ** in Japan.

The Iron Triangle dispatched all of them this time to command the combined fleet to fight against the Cadet Army, thinking that it would be a complete battle and destroy all the fighters of the Cadet Army, so as to help the Army attack Fujian and Guangdong to clear the biggest threat. However, I don't know if Lu Dao has noticed something, and its air force has not been able to evade it, and with nearly 400 fighters, I don't know where Lu Dao is hiding.

With more than 20 ships of the Combined Fleet, the combat consumption was extremely high, and Minei had already decided that if the fighters of the Chinese could not be brought out today, the combat operation would be ended. However, not long ago, he received information that over Wuyi Mountain, a group of fighter planes of the China people finally appeared, and more than 60 of them were dispatched at one time, including a new type of fighter plane, and even the group of fighters that took off from the "Canglong" to attack the China Exercise Force was ambushed, and more than half of the 24 bombers and 12 attack planes were lost.

Losing about eighteen fighters in a one-time battle can be regarded as a fiasco, but it is worth the sacrifice to lure out the shrinking cadet army air force - "The fox finally showed its tail!" After reading this information, Minai commented. Immediately a new operational deployment was made, and the "Feilong" was ordered to immediately take off two squadrons of bombers and one squadron of attack planes to use them as bait to go to Wuyi Mountain, and 10 minutes later, all the remaining attack planes were lifted into the air. Immediately after that, all the attack planes on the other three aircraft carriers were lifted into the air, and at the same time, each aircraft carrier took off a squadron of bombers. His battle orders to the Japanese aircraft groups that took off in each wave were that the first wave was responsible for drawing out the Cadet Army Air Force and entangled, the second wave joined and drove the enemy planes to flee back to the hidden airfield, and the third wave followed up and destroyed the hidden airfield and destroyed all enemy planes in one fell swoop.

After listening to Mine's new operational deployment, Yamamoto Isoroku questioned: "Your Excellency, commander, take off all the attack planes, what if the enemy planes come to attack the fleet?" Is it left two squadrons. ”

Minai shook his head and smiled, "Yamamoto-kun, you are too conservative. Not to mention whether the people of China can find our position, that is, they have the ability, do you think that with the anti-aircraft fire of the combined fleet, it is possible for the people of China to succeed? ”

Inoue also felt that Yamamoto was too cautious, and continued, "I agree with His Excellency the commander's plan. The Xuebing Army Air Force is the only force that can threaten the Imperial Fujian and Guangdong Raiders, they have not been able to shrink before, even if we have a far advantage in troops, but there is no way to take them. Now that it's so easy to catch the opportunity, it should naturally be killed with a stick. As long as the China Air Force is completely destroyed, the task of the combined fleet is accomplished. At that time, we may also be able to take the opportunity to take the Humen Fort. ”

Yamamoto said: "I always think it's better to be cautious, if you don't leave any attack planes behind, relying on anti-aircraft artillery fire alone is too passive." Or, let's retreat some distance, or, inform the army aviation of Taiwan Province? Let them prepare for ......"

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Mine.

"Yamamoto-kun, I can bet your worries are unnecessary. As for Inoue-kun's suggestion to take the opportunity to take the Hukou Fort, I think it's worth considering. Personally, I am not greedy for merit, but I am very happy to contribute to the great cause of His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Mitsumasa Yonechi and Narumi Inoue looked like they were in a position of victory, as if the destruction of the Cadet Army Air Force was only at the snap of a finger. Yamamoto Fifty-six thought about it, and didn't know if he was infected by them or if he felt that he was too worried, and soon smiled.

Just when the Iron Triangle thought it had succeeded and relaxed, it didn't know that in a certain cave in Changbai Mountain, Guangzhou, a group of student generals led by Ouyang Yun also put down their minds and smiled.

The cave where Ouyang Yun is now is the monitoring room of the Changbai Mountain Radar Station. This monitoring room is quite large, and the most distinctive presence in this house is a huge green screen next to the stone wall to the south. On the green screen, a white vertical line running up and down keeps sweeping from left to right, and at this moment, three dense black dots are appearing in the upper left corner of the screen. The group of black dots slowly changed their orientation, and little by little they moved closer to another group of black dots in the middle and bottom of the screen.

When the first batch of black spots appeared, Ouyang Yun shouted: "Quick, quick, hurry up and remember the next position!" ”

"Yes!" A cadet hurriedly marked the location on an aeronautical chart next to him. Then, with the appearance of the second and third batches of black dots, this direction was determined. The number of black spots in the third batch is unprecedented, after Ouyang Yun saw it, a smile appeared on his face, and he immediately picked up a phone that had been on the phone and shouted: "Vulture, vulture, I am the eagle's nest, the sparrow has left the nest, you should appear on the stage, the direction is ......"

"Vulture received, Eagle Nest, please wait for our good news."

Ouyang Yun picked up another phone and shouted again: "Mountain Eagle, Mountain Eagle, I am the Eagle's Nest, please pay attention, a large number of sparrows are flying towards you-" He quickly glanced at the notebook next to him, on it, the number of Japanese planes had been counted, "A total of two hundred and fourteen." Remember, your job is to hold them back, as far as possibleβ€”" He glanced at the notebook again, and there were a few more numbers written on it, but it was the distance from the Japanese aircraft carrier formation and the time it would take for the "vultures" to arrive, and he added, "At least an hour!" "Judging from the position measured by the radar, the Japanese Navy's aircraft carrier formation is more than 500 kilometers away, and at the average speed of the fighters of the Cadet Army, it takes an hour and 20 minutes to arrive, and counting the combat time, an hour and a half is required. Although it only takes about 50 minutes for them to reach Wuyi Mountain, counting the round trip, that is one hour and forty minutes, and the "Mountain Eagle" drags on for another hour, which is enough for the "vultures" to evacuate.

"Mountain Eagle received it, and promised to complete the task."

Putting down the phone, Ouyang Yun said: "It's a pity, our navy doesn't have large ships, otherwise the navy will be dispatched in advance, and the navy and air force will cooperate at that time, and the chances of victory will be much greater." ”

The stationmaster of the monitoring station standing behind him said with a smile: "We have clairvoyance, which can detect the direction of the sun in advance, and we have completely grasped the initiative." As far as our military can currently have, the Japanese Navy dispatched four aircraft carriers this time, and there were only about 320 fighters at full capacity, but this time 214 were dispatched, plus the 36 planes in front, and only about 70 planes remained on the ships. According to common sense, these seventy are definitely bombers, and they cannot take off to intercept our troops at all. Commander-in-Chief, this air attack, Iron Commander, they will definitely be able to succeed! ”

"I hope so, hehe, I don't know how many aircraft carriers can be blown up and sunk. If they all blow up and sink, it will cost the life of the little devil, and maybe the course of World War II may be rewritten! Ouyang Yun got carried away for a while, and even said something inappropriate. Fortunately, Xiao Yixiao and the others were attracted by the dense Japanese machines on the screen, and they didn't hear anything wrong.

All the 317 fighters of the Xuebing Air Force with offensive capability were sent into battle, and among them, the 1st Air Force Division, with Xue Changkong as the division commander, was in charge of the direction of Wuyi Mountain.

The 1st Air Force Division has two fighter squadrons, each of which has three fighter squadrons, of which five squadrons are fully staffed, with a total of 60 fighters of various types; There is also a squadron equipped with the "Xue-1" fighter developed by the Cadet Army itself, which is currently equipped with only two. The Air Force command has a different opinion on whether to allow the two new fighters to participate in the battle. Including Tie Lin Fei, many people think that they should be hidden in the snow and used when they are on a large scale, so that they can play the role of surprise soldiers. Ouyang Yun thought that this would increase the temptation, and finally made a final decision and sent them into battle.

Two "Xue 1" planes, Xue Changkong personally piloted one. These two "Learn 1" aircraft did not live up to Ouyang Yun's expectations, and they each achieved their own results in the first actual battle. Among them, Xue Changkong personally piloted the "Xue 1" type numbered 1301, and even killed two attack planes and one bomber alone, which can be said to be out of the limelight. After the 1st Air Division returned to Longxishan Airport, the secret airport closest to Wuyi Mountain, Xue Changkong patted Ouyang Yun on the phone and said: "Commander-in-chief, as long as you give me a brigade to 'learn 1', I dare to guarantee that from now on, in the airspace of Fujian, not a single sparrow of the little devil will want to fly in." 'Learning 1' is so good, you didn't see it at the time......"

"Okay, okay, my Master Xue. If there really was a brigade of 'learning 1', I would still use you to say, Lao Tzu would have beaten the little devil's aviation fart a long time ago. Everyone is happy to win the battle, tell the brothers, don't be proud, there are still bad battles waiting for you later-"

"Yes! Commander-in-chief, don't worry, no matter how many fighters the little devils come, we will definitely be able to hold it back! ”
