Age of Rebirth

Lieutenant Admiral Matsuda, chief of staff of the United Fleet, feels very inappropriate for Commander Yamamoto's risky decision. Only one squadron of fighter jets is left, and the number of combat forces used by the entire United Fleet to protect the safety of the fleet is less than 150. Dangerous, the aviation fleet of the only Chinese independent division took the opportunity to raid the fleet, what should we do?

Chief of Staff Matsuda persuaded Commander Yamamoto to give up this crazy decision, but he saw that General Yamamoto was radiant with fierce eyes, his eyes were red, and he knew that his superior had fallen into a state of paranoid madness. Commander, you won't listen to any dissenting opinions!

But he thought about it again. After two days of air battles, although the United Fleet's carrier-based aircraft suffered a lot of losses, they still held the initiative in the air battle, and they all fought against the land-based aviation of the China Independent Division. To deal with it, thinking about it, there is no extra combat aircraft to raid the United Fleet. Thinking about it this way, I feel relieved, and I will truthfully convey the order of General Yamamoto.

The night is dark, and the sea breeze blowing from the Java Sea has a salty taste, but it can't blow away the sultry air. In Balikpapan, Kalimantan Island, in the frontline command post of the Southern Flying Group, Le Yiqin and The chief of staff, He Zhijun, was reading each telegram intently.

Although he was sweating profusely from the heat, He Zhijun was still in good order and did not dare to relax at all, but Le Yiqin was different. He was shirtless, shaking a big fan in his hand, and kept cursing the sweltering hot weather. , and laughed a few times from time to time, or applauded in surprise, which made He Zhijun roll his eyes.

Le Yiqin pushed the telegram aside, and said: "Zhijun, we have been fighting with the little devil's carrier-based aircraft group for two days, and we have basically figured out the number of the old devil Yamamoto. Tomorrow , I guess tomorrow's battle will be even more intense, and it will be the last big air battle, and the battle will be decided!"

"Commander, why do you know?" He Zhijun asked thoughtfully.

After pouring a glass of cold water into his stomach, Le Yiqin wiped his mouth and said, "According to the information from the intelligence department, the strength of the Japanese Navy's joint fleet has been used today. About three-fifths, that old devil Yamamoto, must Leave some carrier planes to watch the house?"

"So, the number of carrier-based aircraft dispatched by the little devils tomorrow should be more than four-fifths. This is the limit of Yamamoto's military strength, and it is also the last blow. The focus should be on our field airports in various places. Therefore, tomorrow's big fight It's time for the little devil to stop, otherwise, he can't afford to lose! Tomorrow is the time for the little devil to suffer, hehehe!"

He Zhijun couldn't help shivering when he heard Le Yiqin's sinister smile. He knew that whenever the commander laughed like this, there was a deceptive trick already in the making, "Commander, you want to use the second line The reserve team?" He immediately guessed the general idea and asked.

"Yes!" Le Yiqin said proudly: "Now, you know why I haven't used the Singapore base, and the dozen or so fighter regiments on Luzon Island and Mindanao Island, right? Prepare a big gift, the point is to bomb the little devil's bomber fleet at our airport, and let him come and go!"

Le Yiqin was elated, and He Zhijun nodded when he heard it. At this moment, a communications staff officer came in, holding a telegram in his hand, and reported at attention: "Reporting to the commander and chief of staff, I just received a call from the division commander." !"

Le Yiqin took over the telegram, "Le Yiqin, can you still hold on? If you have any difficulties, just say it. The Southern Flying Group is now bearing all the pressure of the Japanese Navy's combined fleet. You must calm your mind. You are a veteran in the battlefield. Don't worry about it." I won't say much!"

"Zhijun, look at what the teacher said, can you still hold on? Why do you look down on people?" Le Yiqin was very dissatisfied, and complained to He Zhijun: "Is this just the beginning? If that old man from Yamamoto If the devil can hold on, I'll fight him for a few months to see if I don't wring out the old devil's blood!"

He Zhijun looked helpless, and said: "Commander, the division commander is concerned about us, how can I call the division commander back?"

"Just one word, we'll see tomorrow!" Le Yiqin turned around and left the suffocating room, before leaving, he dropped this sentence.

The communications staff officer was dumbfounded at the time, and the inquiring officer looked at He Zhijun and asked, "Chief of staff, follow what the commander just said, and call back to the division?"

"Repost the exact words, it's not that the commander doesn't know our commander's temper!" He Zhijun said, "This damn weather is killing me!"

On the third day, except for less than 150 of the carrier-based aircraft of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy left to protect the safety of the fleet, the rest came out in full force and attacked aggressively. At the beginning, the air combat pattern was basically the same as yesterday.

The Japanese carrier-based fighter group carried out an air battle with slightly more troops than Le Yiqin. Afterwards, some carrier-based fighters covered all the bombers and began to raid the field airports of the Southern Air Group.

"Reporting to the commander, the ground radar station reports that some of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft fleet has broken through the blocking of our fighter group and is heading towards the field airport!" A staff officer put down the phone and reported.

"It's finally here! Hahaha!" Le Yiqin laughed loudly and said to He Zhijun: "Chief of Staff, order the fighter regiments of the reserve team to take off, and immediately make dumplings for the little devil's bomber fleet according to the scheduled plan!"

This is Le Yiqin's backer. Twelve fighter regiments and more than 56 fighters join the battlefield, which can definitely change the situation of air combat in the Southwest Pacific battlefield. This time, Yamamoto [-]'s loss is definitely settled!

In the waters of the Banda Sea, on the Nagato, the flagship of the Japanese Navy’s Combined Fleet, Admiral Yamamoto maintained a soldier’s posture, with his eyes slightly closed and his back straight, sitting on a chair, but his heart was never calm. The Southwest Pacific battlefield The ground-based aviation of China's independent division on board, and his own huge carrier-based aircraft group, had a tie in the two-day air battle. This was something he never expected, and it was absolutely uncomfortable!

When will the land-based aviation, which is not on the table, be able to compete with the combined fleet of the Imperial Japanese Navy? After General Yamamoto calmed down, he also weighed it repeatedly. It seems that the decisive battle of the base aviation is not very cost-effective. The large-scale combined fleet will not have an advantage in the inland waters of the China Air Force with a land airport!

"This is the last time, no matter what the result is, we can't continue to entangle with Le Yiqin's land-based aviation in the Inner Sea!" General Yamamoto let out a long breath and thought to himself: "I hope I can achieve my goal! "

"Commander, the situation is not good!" Lieutenant Admiral Matsuda, the chief of staff of the United Fleet, hurried over and said, "Received a report from the commander of the mixed carrier fleet that they were suddenly attacked while bombing the China Air Force field airport." A large number of fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force have attacked, and it is estimated that there are more than [-] aircraft, and their losses are serious!"

"Except, the commander of the fighter group that was engaged in air combat with the China Independent Division's land-based aviation force reported that the air combat is still at an inextricable level, and it is impossible to leave the battlefield, let alone reinforce the mixed fleet!"

"What?" General Yamamoto stood up abruptly. He could no longer calm down. After fighting for two days in a row, and even when he was at a disadvantage, the commander of the China Air Force named Le Yiqin still had a backup. Definitely a cunning, insidious opponent.

"Baga! Bastard!" General Yamamoto cursed angrily, and said to Chief of Staff Matsuda bitterly: "Order, all carrier-based planes return immediately and cancel all bombing operations!" Stop fighting, that cunning Le Yiqin It's obvious that I want to consume myself to death!

On the third day, the carrier-based aircraft fleet of the Japanese Navy United Fleet stopped after nine o'clock in the morning. After receiving the order from the Fleet Command, the Japanese fighter jets covered the bombers, retreated while fighting, and headed towards the Banda Sea. Retreat in the direction of the sea area.

Of course, Le Yiqin would not let go of such a good opportunity, and ordered all the fighter jets to pursue and kill them, and drove the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group to the sky above the Banda Sea, before returning to the voyage.

Balikpapan, in the headquarters of the Southern Flight Group, Le Yiqin, who received the report, rushed out of the door, towards the direction of Banda Sea, laughed loudly, and yelled, "How about it! Old devil Yamamoto, I finally put you Take a pee! If you are not convinced, keep going!"

The Five Commanders Yamamoto will stop sadly. When all the carrier-based aircraft have returned, he immediately gives an order that the combined fleet will leave the Banda Sea immediately and go to northern Australia for replenishment and rest. He can't help but fail to reach and destroy the independent division The purpose of the land-based aviation airport is to guard against Le Yiqin's counterattack. Now, all the carrier-based aircraft of the United Fleet have just landed, and it is the weakest time!

Nearly a thousand warships of various types in the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy left the Banda Sea and headed for the Timor Sea at the fastest speed. Of course, this could not escape the eyes of the ground radar station of the Independent Division, and the situation was reported to the front line immediately. command post.

With Le Yiqin's temper, he definitely would not let the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy leave Banda Sea easily like this, but he was surprisingly calm and did not give the order to pursue, not because he didn't want to, but because he was powerless.

The fighter groups of the Southern Aviation Group had just entered a fierce air battle, and the situation was similar to that of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft group. The ammunition and fuel consumption were basically exhausted, and they had to be replenished. He could only let Yamamoto 56 go.

In other words, Yamamoto was determined enough to immediately order the United Fleet to leave the Banda Sea. If he hesitated for a few more hours, he would surely usher in a stormy attack by more than a thousand combat aircraft from the Southern Flying Group.

The dark green sea water left a long trail behind the Nagato ship. Admiral Yamamoto and Chief of Staff Matsuda stood on the rear deck of the flagship, watching the rolling waves, and the two were silent for a long time.

Admiral Yamamoto sighed and said: "Matsuda-kun, please remember that from now on, the United Fleet will never enter the inland sea to fight. Our stage is in the vast Pacific Ocean. Let's count the losses!"
