Age of Rebirth

Chapter 1727 Coral Sea Air Battle

For Lieutenant General Wagner, the chief of staff of the British and Australian troops who led the retreat of [-] soldiers, misfortunes never come singly that suits his current situation best.

Before he could react from the nightmare of the fleet telegram, the captain broke in panting and panicked, and brought another piece of bad news that was enough to break the spirit of Chief of Staff Wagner, "Your Excellency, it's not good, On the left side of our fleet, a large number of Japanese warships are found, encircling them!" The captain shouted desperately.

As soon as the captain's words fell, there was a burst of roaring in the sky, and then the crew members outside the cabin exclaimed, "It's not good! It's a Japanese plane!"

Not only the crew members saw it, but the soldiers on board also saw the Japanese aircraft in the sky, under the two wings, sprayed with a blood-red sun pattern, staring bloodthirsty eyes like a devil, getting closer and closer Jumping over, accompanied by the roaring sound of the engine, psychologically and visually, it caused great fear to all the British and Australian soldiers, as if the end of the world was coming.

The soldiers all knew that the ship they were on was an unarmed civilian ship. Under the attack of Japanese aircraft and warships, they had no ability to fight back. If they were on land, the soldiers could still fight back with their guns. But now, just waiting to be slaughtered, the asymmetrical power balance, panic, fear, bewilderment, and despair spread in the hearts of all British and Australian soldiers, and the troops began to riot. [

On the deck of the troop carrier, there were soldiers screaming and running around like headless flies. In fact, even they themselves didn't know what they were shouting. Driven by their survival instincts, the British and Australian soldiers subconsciously think.To leave this extremely dangerous ship quickly, many British and Australian soldiers grabbed everything they could grab and jumped into the turbulent sea regardless. The loud shouts of the officers could not stop the soldiers from moving.

Lieutenant General Wagner, his face ashen ashes, stared blankly at the soldiers who jumped into the sea like dumpling. He was numb and his mind was blank.He has completely forgotten that there is still a fleet of independent divisions coming!

The Second and Fourth Fleets of the Japanese Navy have been lurking in the Coral Sea for more than two days.Just wait for the troop transport fleet of the British and Australian troops to take the bait, according to the original plan.Second and Fourth Fleets.After the British task force joined the troop carrier formation, they surrounded it from both left and right directions, and buried the British naval forces in the Southwest Pacific region, as well as [-] British and Australian soldiers, on the bottom of the Pacific Ocean in one fell swoop.

One hundred thousand British and Australian soldiers were evacuated from Luzon Island to the Coral Sea.They did not escape the trailing surveillance of the Japanese carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft, but the troop carrier formation did not have air surveillance equipment, plus the Japanese reconnaissance aircraft pilots.Obtained strict orders that never allow the target to be exposed and alarmed the British, therefore, they were careful not to be discovered, which also made Chief of Staff Wagnazer come to a wrong judgment.

The original plan was perfect. Two fleets, six aircraft carriers, and more than 140 warships encircled the British task force without an aircraft carrier. There were more than [-] warships and hundreds of unarmed troop carriers. There was no suspense in the battle. It's almost like two strong men with martial arts murdering two babies.

Lieutenant Admiral Shirakawa Yoshitetsu, commander of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy, and Lieutenant Admiral Masao Okamura, commander of the Fourth Fleet, both knew very well in their hearts that the Navy's mission to wipe out the enemy this time was the big bosses of the Ministry of the Navy. She lost her face and just snatched it from the army's mouth. It can be said to be hard-won.

Therefore, both Shirakawa Yoshitetsu and Okamura Masao have a common idea, if they don't fight, they will fight, if they fight, they will fight an extremely beautiful sea annihilation battle, after several telegrams.The two reached a consensus. When the British-Australian troop carrier formation joined the British task force, the two fleets suddenly broke out, and with the most ferocious firepower, in the shortest possible time, they killed [-] British and Australian soldiers. Army soldiers, and more than [-] British warships, were completely sent to the bottom of the sea.

In the words of Lieutenant General Yoshitsushi Shirakawa, Commander of the Second Fleet, "When a tiger fights a rabbit, we need to do our best! We will not be as arrogant as the army. In every battle, no matter how weak the enemy is, no matter how vulnerable it is, we must do our best. It is the fine tradition of the Imperial Navy to treat it with all our strength!"

The words of Lieutenant General Masao Okamura, commander of the Fourth Fleet, were more direct and even more murderous, "Our navy just wants to show the guys in the army that they need to fight for days and nights on land and pay a lot of money. The battle results that can only be obtained after casualties, in the hands of the Imperial Navy, only need a few hours, and at the cost of zero casualties, it can be achieved!"

The plan was perfect, but when it came to the most critical moment, seeing the British became meat in their mouths, something went wrong. I don't know what the reason was. The British task force that came to escort did not arrive on time. Arriving at the rendezvous sea area, moreover, there is also the meaning of turning around and returning.

Yoshitaka Shirakawa and Masao Okamura were in a hurry. If the British task force turned around and ran back, wouldn't it destroy the plan to encircle and annihilate them? Warship, let the two commanders, can you hold on to your face?

The two discussed in the telegram and decided that the fourth ship would deal with the British task force, and the second fleet would be responsible for dealing with the British and Australian troop carrier formations. On the battlefield, still occupying an absolute advantage, Lieutenant General Bai Chuan and Lieutenant General Gangcun are not worried about the outcome of the battle and will disappoint themselves.

When Le Yiqin led the fleet to the sky above the British-Australian troop carrier formation, he happened to see this chaotic scene. He frowned. In his heart, he greatly despised the British-Australian soldiers. When encountering such a situation, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely not jumping into the sea, but concentrating all weapons and organizing air-to-air shooting. Even if it is bombed and sunk, the little devil's plane cannot be afraid of bombing and strafing.

At the same time, Le Yiqin was also secretly glad that he finally arrived in the designated airspace ahead of the little devil. If he was about ten minutes late, the British-Australian troop carrier formation below would be attacked by Japanese aircraft for the first time.

Le Yiqin ordered: "The second echelon of fighter jets immediately attacked the Japanese fleet. It has been holding back for more than half a year. This time, let's vent all our anger on the little devil!"

The attack on the troop carrier formation of the British and Australian troops was the carrier-based aircraft formation of the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy. More than 120 carrier-based aircraft took off from three aircraft carriers under the command of the air formation commander Kaga Seiichi. The two days of waiting were enough to make the killing desire in the hearts of these Japanese carrier-based aircraft pilots boil to the peak.

Looking at the range of the approaching attack, Colonel Kaga ordered viciously: "Attention all squadrons, attack freely, the air warriors of the empire, under your wings, are the British and Australians who are like lambs to be slaughtered, put your fighters on the plane. Pour all your money on these white pigs, this ocean will turn bright red, remind everyone to pay attention, don't let the rifles in the hands of those white pigs hit your ass! Start attacking !"

The Japanese carrier-based aircraft pilots burst into laughter and howled like hungry wolves. Soon, the Japanese pilots discovered that things were not as simple as they imagined. A large group of fighter jets suddenly rushed down from the sky. Like a sharp arrow, he rushed towards his formation.

Colonel Kaga has just given the order to attack freely. He is also a guy who is unwilling to be lonely. He is about to lower the nose of the plane and conduct a dive attack. , is rushing towards our formation!" [

Colonel Kaga hurriedly stopped his movements, looked up, his scalp was numb, "Hani? Damn China fighter, why did it suddenly appear here?" He remembered that in the fleet's enemy report, it was mentioned that the China devil Tang Qiuli's air force might come to escort the British and Australian troops, but he didn't take it seriously!

Unexpectedly, I really let myself meet, Colonel Kaga's desire to kill turned into a cold sweat, why?

The number of fighter jets of the Air Force of the Independent Division that appeared in front of us far exceeded his own formation. Colonel Kaga judged that there should be more than 300 fighters, more than double his own. Colonel Kaga immediately shouted: "Fleet Air Command , Kaga reported that when my formation was attacking the British-Australian troop transport fleet, I found a fighter group of the Independent Division, about [-], attacking my formation, requesting reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements!

According to the Kung Fu reported by Colonel Kaga, Le Yiqin’s second-echelon fighter group had already caught fire with the Japanese carrier-based fighter group. The fighter jets of both sides immediately bit together, and more than 400 fighter jets mixed together, flying up and down, chasing each other. , the nose of the aircraft sprayed flames, and the sound of "crackling" airborne machine guns rang out in one piece, and the blue sky with white clouds was immediately cut into fragmented pictures by the roaring road.

The pilots of the Independent Division, who had worked hard, cooperated with each other in groups of two, captured the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and fought to the death. They had an advantage in numbers, and the fighting spirit of the pilots was like a rainbow. In the fight, the second-echelon fighter group of the Southern Aviation Group clearly had the upper hand. More than 20 Japanese carrier-based aircraft, either with thick smoke behind their buttocks, staggered towards the sea, or made a "bang" and volleyed into the air. Fry to pieces.

To fight this kind of large-scale air battle, the pilots of the independent division have extremely rich experience. They have worked out a whole set of tactics after many times of aerial combat. , Then, using the advantage in numbers, the Japanese carrier-based aircraft was divided into several parts that are not connected to each other, and they were beaten!

Le Yiqin was driving her own fighter plane, hovering high in the sky, taking control of the entire air battle situation, seeing the pilots fighting hard and tricky, gaining the upper hand with their shots, Mny smiled.
