¡ª¡ª    go¡ª¡ª> Lieutenant General Kiyoshi Hasegawa, commander of the Japanese Navy's Third Fleet, paid a heavy price for his arrogance. If it weren't for his stubborn belief that the amount of fuel carried by Japanese fighter jets traveling over long distances,  It is not enough to support an air battle, and the fleet's carrier-based aircraft are ordered to adopt dogfighting tactics. Under normal circumstances, Le Yiqin's first attack wave fleet cannot take such a big advantage. At most, there will be mutual losses, and the Japanese army will suffer greater losses.  That¡¯s all.

    As soon as the air battle began, Le Yiqin focused on the aircraft of Colonel Hiroshi Montenegro. Although this guy's aircraft did not have any special markings, he was in a command position with four Japanese carrier-based aircraft circling around for protection.  There was already a fight in the air, and the Japanese aircraft group was in a passive position, and they were not seen joining the air battle, which was conspicuous enough.

    Militant Major General Le Yiqin's principle is to capture the thief first. He pushed the accelerator hard, and the fighter plane trembled violently and rushed towards Colonel Montenegro. The huge acceleration killed him.  Pressing down on the seat, he issued the command at the same time, "Wingman cover, follow me to kill that big fish!"

    Le Yiqin's two wingman pilots were crawling around in the sky with the commander all day long, and they cooperated tacitly as if they were one person. With Le Yiqin's sudden movement, the two fighter jets did not miss even half a step, and the three fighter jets were at full speed.  The fighter jet, like a cheetah, swooped forward, three to five. Le Yiqin was not afraid, and her whole body was burning with the passion of the battle.

    The Montenegrin wingman spotted the three Japanese Army fighter jets that were charging towards them, and immediately faced them aggressively. Perhaps they were daring because of the large number of people, but they actually came to a head-to-head confrontation. In a head-on posture, Colonel Wu Zhixian, the commander of the 1st Fighter Regiment,  , had just shot down a Japanese carrier-based aircraft, turned around and saw this scene, and broke into cold sweat all over his body.

    "Oh my god, the commander is going crazy again, three planes against five planes. It's dangerous enough," he hurriedly ordered: "The first group and the third squadron will go to reinforce the commander immediately. If the commander breaks a little bit of skin, you guys  Just don¡¯t come back!¡±

    Le Yiqin pulled the machine head.  The fighter jet nimbly avoided an approaching Japanese carrier-based plane. It did not change its target and still pounced on Montenegro's plane. The Japanese carrier-based plane was anxious and fired randomly, regardless of whether it was aiming or not.  Not even a scratch of skin was touched.  He was so focused on blocking Le Yiqin's fighter plane that he forgot about the wingman behind him. Several strings of bullets happily entered the belly of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft, and another cloud of smoke exploded in the sky.

    Heishan was concentrating on observing the air combat situation. The more he watched, the colder his heart became. For more than ten minutes.  More than 60 carrier-based aircraft have been knocked out by Chinese fighter jets, and the loss is close to a wing. We cannot continue to fight like this.  Looking at the Chinese fighter jets, they don't look like they are running out of fuel. It's a bloody hell.

    "Commander, the air combat is not good for me. The carrier-based aircraft formation requested to withdraw from the battle." Montenegro is a good man who will not suffer the immediate loss and retreats. Before Major General Sato can reply, a black shadow appears in the sky and is in front of him in an instant.  He didn't even have time to take evasive action. Le Yiqin's fighter jet spurted out three tongues of flame and went straight into Heishan's aircraft.

    More than a hundred rounds of large-caliber machine gun bullets tore into pieces the body of the "Type 92" carrier-based aircraft with a loud "boom".  Montenegro and his plane turned into a ball of burning debris over the Andaman Sea. Le Yiqin's fighter plane passed through the smoke and drifted away, firing from more than 200 meters away. For a high-speed fighter, it took a blink of an eye.  What's worse is that the two machines will collide.

    Le Yiqin's bold move frightened the six pilots from the Third Squadron of the First Battalion of the Wu Zhixian Regiment who came to support them with cold sweat on their foreheads. "My dear, no wonder there are rumors within the Southern Flying Group that as long as the commander is on board,  On the battlefield, he is a complete lunatic. I saw it today and I am so impressed!" Le Yiqin's two wingman pilots are not surprised and are used to it.

    The air battle had been going on for more than 40 minutes. The Japanese carrier-based aircraft formation had been beaten to pieces. There were Japanese carrier-based aircraft everywhere being chased by two aircraft of the Japanese Navy. After Le Yiqin killed Heishan, he immediately returned to the command position.  , looking around the air combat battlefield, the overall situation was very favorable, and more than 70 Japanese carrier-based aircraft had been shot down.

    However, he was relieved that none of his first echelon was shot down. He saw more than twenty fighter jets of his own, which were obviously damaged. The aircraft were in very unstable condition and were still braving the darkness.  Smoke, relentlessly chasing the little devil's carrier-based aircraft, he immediately ordered, "All damaged fighter jets should immediately withdraw from the battle and return home. Judge the status of their own aircraft. If they cannot fly back to Myitkyina Airport, parachute north of Yangon."  ¡±

    Le Yiqin knew very well that his subordinates would fight to the end if he did not order them to withdraw from the battle. As long as they did not parachute in the Andaman Sea, there was no need to worry about the safety of the pilots. Except for Yangon and the Malay Peninsula, everyone  It is the area controlled by the ** division troops.

    Hasegawa Kiyoshi was stunned by the situation of the air battle. He watched one after another.The Imperial Navy carrier-based aircraft that exploded or crashed into the sea almost went crazy. They grabbed a staff officer by the collar and shook it vigorously. They completely ignored the unfortunate guy who had turned purple from holding back the pressure and yelled in a changed voice.  Said: "Answer me, what is going on? Why can the Chinese fighter jets still carry out air combat? Their fuel, fuel!"

    Hasegawa Kiyoshi didn't understand, and the staff officer who was about to faint was even more confused. The face of Rear Admiral Sato, the carrier-based aircraft commander of the Third Fleet, was as white as paper. "Conspiracy, trap," he kept thinking in his mind.  He didn't understand why the Chinese fighter jets persisted for such a long time, and why they would not give up until the carrier-based aircraft were killed.

    It's terrible. Even if the commander of the China fleet wants to die together with the fleet's carrier-based aircraft in this way, or parachute after running out of fuel, the price they pay is too great. The gain outweighs the loss, it is unreasonable, and crazy.  The commander of the China fleet just did this. If the fight continues, all the capital he has will be spent!

    Furthermore, the fuel for the carrier-based aircraft could not last long. He could not let the empire's outstanding pilots be buried with these crazy Chinese pilots. This time, he did not ask Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi for instructions and directly issued the order: "Black Mountain  Colonel, I order the formation to return home and land on the ship immediately," there was no reply in the earphones.

    Sato became anxious and repeated the order sternly. After a few seconds, a voice that was obviously not Montenegro replied: "Reporting to the commander, Colonel Montenegro has been broken into pieces and has served His Majesty the Emperor. I am Lieutenant Commander Yamada Koichi, the deputy commander of the formation.  ," Sato's vision went dark, he shook a few times and managed to steady his body.

    Hiroko Montenegro was not only an excellent carrier-based aircraft pilot, but also an excellent air commander. He was also his most relied-upon deputy. One was on the aircraft carrier, and the other was in the air. They cooperated with each other perfectly, but in just a short time, he was gone.  , "Commander Yamada, I appoint you as the formation commander and lead the fleet to return immediately," Sato couldn't help but hesitate, and he immediately ordered.

    It is serious to save the remaining aircraft. Sato also saw it. No matter how evil the China fighter jets are, if they support such a long-term air battle, the fighter jets alone will not cause much damage to the entire fleet. It is best to use China fighter jets.  Come in pursuit and the fleet's anti-aircraft firepower can avenge the shattered Imperial pilots!

    Sato ordered again: "The fleet should immediately prepare for air defense combat and intercept China fighter jets, and do it quickly!" The Japanese carrier-based aircraft immediately tried their best to get rid of the pursuing Japanese fighter jets, began to gather their formation, and prepared to withdraw from the air combat area.

    Le Yiqin saw the plan of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft formation, and immediately ordered: "Every formation, pay attention, the little Japanese wants to run, grab the little Japanese carrier-based aircraft in front of you, kill him, no one is allowed to pursue, our job  It¡¯s almost done!¡±

    Sato stood in the command room of the aircraft carrier "Yunhui", watching with trepidation as the planes landed one after another. Nearly two hundred carrier-based aircraft took off. On the "Yunhui", there were seven  Fourteen, but now less than fifty have flown back. In just over fifty minutes of air combat, more than one-third was lost. It was a heavy loss and a big loss!

    The tragedy continues. A severely damaged carrier-based aircraft, dragging a long tail of black smoke, failed to control its speed while on the ship. It may be that part of the control system was damaged, but its speed did not slow down.  Like a drunkard, he staggered towards the aircraft parked on the deck, "Boom, boom, boom!" There were several loud noises in succession, and several clouds of smoke mixed with dark red flames rose up from the deck of the aircraft carrier.

    Yes, four more carrier-based aircraft were destroyed. Fortunately, the pilots had already disembarked. Otherwise, they would have become the first unlucky war casualties in the history of the Japanese navy. Sato closed his eyes in pain. He now strangled Hasegawa Kiyoshi.  He was thinking, "It wasn't this arrogant and stubborn narcissist who could have caused such a big loss by issuing that bullshit order!" But he didn't dare, not even to complain.

    The adjutant had already tallied up the losses and handed it to Sato with a sad face. Although Sato was mentally prepared, he was still staggered by fright. In an air battle, seventy-five carrier-based aircraft were shot down and sixty-seven were seriously damaged.  , so to speak, more than half of the Third Fleet's carrier-based aircraft have been lost, and only about fifty can still take off for combat.

    Sato's legs felt weak, and it took him a while before he ordered his adjutant, "Report the loss statistics to Commander Hasegawa Kiyoshi and let him take a look!" Sato said these words almost through gritted teeth, "I feel bad, you Hasegawa Kiyoshi."  Don't feel comfortable, let's see, this is the result of your intervention in air combat command!" He thought viciously.

    The sky returned to calm. Le Yiqin looked at the fuel gauge. It was time to return. His work was done. It was time for the second echelon and the bomber formation to appear. "Reporting to the division commander, our fleet has successfully completed the first phase of the combat mission.  Heavy damage to the Japanese carrier-based aircraft will begin immediatelySecond stage of attack!  Please give instructions, teacher!  "

    Tang Qiuli's joyful voice came from the earphones, "Okay, Le Yiqin, well done, let's implement it according to the original plan!" ¡ª¡ªover¡ª¡ª>
