    Chapter 1144: Helpless Confrontation (Part 2)

    General Ito Genzaburo, commander-in-chief of Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force, knew very well the importance of time to him. Only by defeating or annihilating the ** Division troops in front of him before the eastern ** Division troops arrived could he possibly complete the occupation of northern Myanmar.  The plan to control the Indochina Peninsula, therefore, he took the initiative to attack even though he knew that the ** division troops blocking him had increased their strength.  .

    The first attack on the morning of July 5th can be regarded as a tentative attack by Ito against the defense line of the troops commanded by Tang Qiusheng, because Ito did not invest a large number of tanks and artillery, and after being violently blocked, the Japanese army did not  Adopt a continuous attack method and continue to storm the ** Division's positions:.

    Instead, he retreated immediately. On a mountain peak less than six kilometers north of Wubin, Tang Qiusheng put down the telescope in his hand and said to Chang Feng: "Chang Feng, Ito's attack is tentative. Order  The troops in the first blocking line immediately retreated to the second position. The artillery troops used one-half of their firepower to suppress the Japanese artillery. The rest waited for orders from the headquarters to cover the first line of defense with artillery fire.  I want to make Ito suffer a little.¡±

    Chang Feng deeply agreed. It was obvious that the first blocking position was the main force to repel the Japanese attack. All firepower points and position settings would be exposed to the Japanese commanders, and would withstand the fierce Japanese artillery bombardment.  , the deputy division commander's skill was very clever. It not only reduced the casualties of the troops, but also dealt a devastating blow to the Japanese troops who thought they had occupied the position.

    Chang Feng picked up the phone and issued the order. A confidential staff officer hurriedly handed him a telegram. Chang Feng glanced at it quickly and said to Tang Qiusheng: "Deputy division commander, the division commander called. The Degang battle has ended.  The entire Japanese army was wiped out and no one was spared. The Aviation Southern Flying Group, under the command of commander Le Yiqin, used two bomber regiments and five fighter regiments to conduct a large-scale air attack on the Japanese troops on the Wubin front line. Please ask us  Establish ground and air contact immediately and indicate the target at any time. Also, the division commander is leading the troops in Degang on the way to Wubin. "

    Tang Qiusheng raised his eyebrows, "Oh, the Battle of Degang is over. The aviation unit has joined the battle. In the battle of Wubin, we have to change our approach. Chang Feng, change the order just now. The artillery unit continues to hide and stand by, mainly to find out the Japanese army.  The location of the artillery positions and the task of destroying the Japanese artillery and infantry are left to Le Yiqin and the others. Contact Le Yiqin immediately and I want to speak to him. "

    The air contact radio station was turned on immediately. Tang Qiusheng said: "I am Tang Qiusheng, am I Commander Le Yiqin?" Le Yiqin's high-pitched voice came immediately, "It's me, Deputy Commander Tang, the fleet is flying to  Wubin airspace, obey your orders at any time!" "Okay, Yiqin, my ground observation post will provide you with the general direction of the bombing target, focusing on the Japanese artillery positions and tank groups, and the charging infantry, your fleet,  "Stand by in this airspace and wait for my instructions."

    Le Yiqin was stunned for a moment. I'm sorry, this Deputy Commander Tang was even more unconventional. He used the aircraft as infantry. Fortunately, he was prepared when he came. Each aircraft had additional auxiliary fuel tanks. Otherwise, he would have flown back.  Kunming was really a problem, but he still answered loudly: "Yes, the fleet is on standby in the air, waiting for instructions!"

    Ito made careful preparations for the second attack. He moved two tank regiments and three heavy artillery brigades to the frontal attack direction. Three attack divisions were already on standby at the front. After making these arrangements, Ito  He told Chief of Staff Koizumi, "Record and order, Lieutenant General Emura Honan, Commander of the Dispatch Army Aviation Force, to immediately take off all fighter jets and bombers and rush to the Ubin airspace to carry out air strikes on the China troops' positions. Ground observation posts will be for  You ordered the bombing target."

    Coincidentally, the commanders of both sides used air power. In terms of flight distance, the flight distance of the Japanese aircraft taking off from Yangon Airport was much closer than that of the Le Yiqin aircraft group taking off from Kunming Airport.*  The only advantage of the Japanese division's fleet is the addition of auxiliary fuel tanks, which greatly extends the time in the air. From this point of view, the gap in the take-off distance between the two sides is virtually shortened.  .

    Ito was going to use all his strength to deliver the most fatal blow to the ** division troops at the Uhama Defense Line. It can be seen that even if all the Japanese troops in Tokugang were destroyed, Ito could not be shaken to break the Uhama Blockade Line.  , the determination to continue marching north to Myitkyina, on the surface, the Wubin line has temporarily calmed down.

    But from the air to the ground, a war was brewing to determine the ownership of northern Myanmar. However, Ito did not expect that the ** Division Aviation Unit, the Southern Flying Group, would join the Wubin battlefield. For the ** Division Aviation Unit,  All the senior generals of Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force have vaguer impressions of the infantry units of the ** Division.

    ???????????????????????????? Ito¡¯s troops have fought several times with the ground troops of the ** Division, and it can be considered a tie, at least., Chief of Staff Koizumi thinks so, but the aviation force of the ** Division has never appeared on the battlefield in northern Myanmar. As for whether Tang Qiuli has an aircraft, most Japanese commanders are still skeptical. After all, they do not  I've seen it, but just heard it.

    Tang Qiuli had long been aware of the Japanese air power. When the Japanese aircraft carried out murderous bombing operations against the besieged British in the Libao Grand Canyon, this Japanese air power was the target that Tang Qiuli had to eliminate.  On this point, it is determined that in the Ubin air battle, which is regarded as an encounter, the Japanese aviation unit will definitely not seek favors. Other book friends are reading:.

    The Japanese army's huge fleet took off from Yangon Airport. The ground radar station of the ** Division Air Defense Force in Myitkyina captured the target through the "Sky Eye" radar system and immediately reported this information through the encrypted radio station.  After being given to the Kunming Ground Command Post, the ground commander at Kunming Field Airport immediately became nervous.

    He immediately called: "Commander Le, this is the Kunming ground command post. I have received information from the Myitkyina radar station. There are about 340 Japanese aircraft at Yangon Airport, flying towards Ubin. About  Thirty minutes later, we will reach the sky above Wubin and draw the commander¡¯s attention. Because of the distance, it is not possible to distinguish bombers and fighter jets yet.¡±

    Upon hearing this, Le Yiqin realized that to be honest, the 1st and 2nd Southern Flying Groups of the Air Force had not fought a single battle since they were stationed at Kunming, Nanning, and Guangzhou airports. In the words of the pilots, "I feel so idle that my whole body hurts."  My hair has grown white," and the supreme commander Le Yiqin said it more vividly.

    He took Yang Ketian, the division chief of staff who came to handle official business, to the airport, pointed at the rows of neatly parked fighter jets and said, "Director Yang, go back and talk to the division commander. Did you see that? The machine guns on our planes."  , The muzzles of the guns are rusty, and if we stay here, our pilots¡¯ bones will also be rusty.¡±

    "At any rate, arrange some tasks for our aviation unit. Watching the ground troops fighting in full swing makes us restless." Yang Ketian asked puzzledly: "Commander Le, why don't you ask the division commander for a fight in person?" Le Yi  Qin's face changed greatly, and he waved his hand quickly and said: "Director Yang, don't mention this, just pretend that I didn't say anything. Last time, I sent two telegrams to ask for a fight. No, the division commander asked me to go to the maintenance brigade.  Wipe the plane."

    Now, the opportunity finally came, and the division commander really guessed it. They were more than 300 Japanese planes. What a piece of fat. He didn't have enough troops in his hands. He immediately called the Nanning ground command post.  "I am Commander Le Yiqin. I am ordering all the fighter jets of the Second Flying Group on standby at Nanning Airport to add auxiliary fuel tanks and fly to the Ubin airspace in northern Myanmar. I want to convey my words to all the pilots. Brothers, Fatty  When it reaches your mouth, come and eat it!¡±

    ¡°All the ground personnel of the aviation force, who could hear Le Yiqin¡¯s words, almost fainted. God, did anyone mobilize like this before the war?  Damn it, the Japanese army's more than 300 aircraft are just a piece of oily fat in the eyes of Commander Leda. After giving the order to the Second Flying Group, Le Yiqin shouted again: "The fighter group will climb up immediately.  , the bomber group has selected the target, the Japs are coming and the fighter jets are here, you fight and retreat quickly, you must ensure the bombing effect, :"

    At this moment, I received a call from Tang Qiusheng, "Yiqin, the Japanese military planes are flying towards Wubin. Please make sure that if the bombers are in danger, you can cancel the air raid mission." Le Yiqin finally got it  He would give up the opportunity to fight. Besides, the follow-up reinforcements would be arriving soon, and he would not let go of the fat he got.

    He replied: "Please rest assured, deputy commander, the aviation force has made full preparations. I will make dumplings for the Little Japanese plane over Wubin." Tang Qiusheng laughed rarely, "Okay, I'll be on the ground  , watching you fight in the air!"

    Le Yiqin is by no means foolhardy. He absolutely believes that the Japanese aircraft fleet has not discovered his position so far. Although the airborne radar has not detected the Japanese aircraft, with his many years of rich experience in air combat, he can instinctively feel  , the Japanese aircraft group did not make any movement to change its course. Subsequently, the Myitkyina radar station confirmed his judgment that the Japanese aircraft group's course remained unchanged.

    Le Yiqin is even more confident. Now, the five fighter flight groups in the northern airspace of Myanmar have 284 fighter jets. Together with the seven fighter groups of the Second Flight Group that are on the way, the number is 700.  There are multiple fighter jets, almost double the number of Japanese aircraft. It is not a big lie to say that the dumplings of the Japanese military aircraft are included.

    In the cemetery, countless small black dots appeared on the radar screen in front of Le Yiqin. Then, the black dots gradually became clearer. From the size and position of the black dots, one could already tell whether it was a fighter jet or a bomber. Le Yiqin sneered,  "The little devil's fleet is still flying in a normal attitude and is not prepared at all.

      Le Yiqin immediately issued a battle order: "Attention fighter group, prepare to attack. When the bomber group is entangled by the Little Japanese fighter jets, they immediately bomb, and then quickly leave the battlefield and return home."
