Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

¡ª¡ª    go¡ª¡ª>Kawashima is not a professional aviation commander, but he also knows that bombers are much slower than fighter jets. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese division bombers to return home and intercept them midway, they will receive unexpected results.  As for how to achieve the effect, as long as the news is reported to the commander of the air force, Lieutenant General Nomura, I believe he will find a way. After all, he is a professional.

    Kawashima glanced at Ito, who was still unconscious, called the communications officer outside, and said: "In the name of the commander-in-chief, give an order to the commander of the air force, Lieutenant General Nomura, that the ** bomber group has just returned. Return."  The direction is Myitkyina Airport in northern Myanmar, and there are no fighter escorts. I hope your troops will intercept and kill it on the way to completely eliminate this hidden danger."

    Kawashima knew that without saying anything, as long as he told Nomura the return time and direction of the Japanese bomber group, he would naturally make corresponding arrangements. Moreover, he also roughly figured out Nomura's psychology and started a fight.  With a big victory, he would increase his worth and bargaining chips, and reveal such a good opportunity to Nomura. He would not refuse such a temptation.

    At the control tower of Myitkyina Field Airport, Le Yiqin called Colonel Liu Zhixiang, the commander of the bomber group, "Liu Zhixiang, where are you now? The bomber group must speed up its return. Fighters from both echelons are devoted to attacking the little Japanese on Hainan Island.  "You are in the midst of a battle with a group of fighter jets, and you will not be escorted by fighter jets on your way back."

    Liu Zhixiang looked at the flight chart and said, "Commander, our fleet has arrived at the estuary of the Irrawaddy River. In thirty minutes, it will enter the Pathein airspace. According to your order, the fleet will turn to fly due north and return to Kunming Airport."

    Le Yiqin said hastily: "Liu Zhixiang, after your bomber formation arrives in the Pathein airspace, continue westward and turn due north in the Shanduocheng airspace. Return along the west bank of the Irrawaddy River along the lines of Magway, Mozava, and Homalin.  , remember, we must bypass Sagaing and Mandalay airspace, do you understand?¡±

    Liu Zhixiang is a little confused, inexplicable.  This will add more than 700 kilometers to the voyage. Is this necessary?  He acted like a thief after winning the battle and even took a detour. He couldn't help but said: "Commander, we will fly more than 700 kilometers. This way. Some crews may have fuel problems and cannot fly to Kunming Airport."  , Besides, we have killed all the Japs¡¯ planes. Is this necessary?¡±

    Le Yiqin shouted loudly, "Liu Zhixiang, what are you talking about? Executing the order, the crew running low on fuel landed at Myitkyina Airport!" Liu Zhixiang winced.  He thought to himself, "Commander, what's going on? After such a huge victory, your temper has become irritable," and he didn't dare to reply.  He hurriedly replied loudly: "Yes, resolutely implement the order and turn back to the north in the airspace of Shanduocheng."

    Le Yiqin and Kawashima thought of going together. Any point along the airspace from the Andaman Sea to the Mandalay airspace was within the interception range of the Japanese fighter jets coming from Hainan Island. As long as there was a brigade of Japanese fighter jets.  For Liu Zhixiang's bomber formation, he slipped out of the first echelon's volley.  It would be a disaster.

    The planned interception point of the first echelon was in the airspace of Dafu, which was too close to the return route of the bomber formation. Although the possibility of this situation was unlikely and he did not dare to be careless, he did not tell Liu Zhixiang his worries. There was no need.  , Liu Zhixiang's fleet will take more detours, which will be safer.

    After receiving the telegram from Kawashima, Nomura immediately judged that this was an excellent opportunity. What reassured him was that bombers without fighter escort were flying targets, and the commander of the ** Division Air Force  Le Yiqin had fought many times, but he never took advantage of her. On the contrary, she was severely beaten. This time, God gave her an opportunity to avenge her shame. How could she let it pass!

    Nomura looked around on the route map, and hit "Sadwa" with his fist on the place name. Sadwa was between Yangon and Mandalay, and it was a must for the Japanese bomber group to return to Myitkyina.  The route is also the shortest route for interception by his own fighter jets. The reason why he did not choose Mandalay was that Nomura was worried about the ground anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese Army Division there.

    Nomura ordered the operations officer, "Order, Colonel Shirakawa, commander of the 17th Fighter Wing, your wing immediately breaks away from the aircraft group, rushes to the Sadwa airspace, and intercepts the returning Japanese division bombers. After completing the interception mission, immediately  Returning to Hainan Island Airport, there is no need to participate in other missions. "A wing of fighter jets is more than enough to deal with hundreds of bombers."

    Nomura's order was very strange. He clearly knew that there were no more Japanese aircraft groups in the sky above the Andaman Sea. The last batch of bombers had also returned, leaving only the smoky and burning Third Fleet. He also ordered the main fighter group  , continue to rush to the Andaman Sea, it is really inexplicable and incredible?

    A senior staff officer put forward his question straightforwardly, "Your Excellency, Commander, based on the order of Commander-in-Chief Ito, it is obvious that the airspace of the Andaman Sea has?There is no aircraft group of the *** Division, why did our fighter group not go all out to intercept and return the bomber group of the *** Division, but instead rushed to the airspace where there were no enemies? The humble position did not understand the commander's intention?  "

    Nomura glanced at the senior staff officer coldly and said: "I am executing the order of Commander-in-Chief Ito. I don't need you to understand. Before receiving a new order, I must strictly implement the previous order. This  It is the basic quality of a soldier." Nomura looked at this guy with displeasure. He was a crony planted by that old guy Ito, thinking that I didn't know and was here to monitor me.

    The senior staff officer was stunned, swallowed, and was speechless. Nomura was right. This shows the gap between Kawashima and Ito. After all, Kawashima has no experience in controlling the overall situation.  Before issuing a new order, the previous order should be revoked, otherwise it will cause serious consequences of chaos in the troops.

    Nomura did not reveal his true inner thoughts. The main purpose of his doing this was to carry out Ito's order and prevent him from taking advantage. The Third Fleet was beaten to death, and his fighter group went to take a turn.  It also means that he is doing his best and showing goodwill in disguise. When he sees the Imperial Army Air Force fighter, Hasegawa Kiyoshi can only remember me, Nomura, but not that old guy Ito.

    Nomura still doesn¡¯t know that Hasegawa Kiyoshi has died, and that he died miserably. Compared to the fact that his body is completely gone, if he had known, he would not have had this interest.

    Secondly, this is a strategy of Nomura. If the fighter group of the Japanese Army discovers a large number of fighter jets of the Air Force, with Le Yiqin's character, they will definitely come to fight and attract Le Yiqin's attention.  , which is to cover in disguise the action of the 17th Fighter Wing to intercept and kill the bomber group of the ** Division.

    Nomura is not afraid of fighting with the fighter group of the Japanese Air Force. A large aircraft group will be a draw against a large aircraft group at best. Considering various factors, the Imperial Air Force's fighter jets will not suffer.  After two waves of attacks, the soldiers were exhausted. The distance between Myitkyina Airport and the airspace of the Andaman Sea was not much shorter than that of Hainan Island. When they arrived at the battlefield, their energy was gone.

    The up-and-coming divisions have an advantage in morale over the tired soldiers. What's more, how could Le Yiqin know that all the fighter jets of the Air Force were dispatched? Even if he found out, it was already too late. If Nomura knew, his fighter group would be together.  Flying, he fell under the surveillance of the ground radar station of the Southern Flight Group of the Army. He would never be so confident.

    At 2:26 pm on November 18, the Chiang Mai Radar Station of the Southern Flying Group reported, ¡°The Japanese fighter group has approached the airspace of Tak Fu. Among them, about a wing of Japanese fighter jets broke away from the group and headed for Tak.  Flying in the direction of Deva, the intention is unknown.¡±

    As soon as Le Yiqin read the telegram, she understood immediately, "The little Japs are vicious enough. They really went for my bombers. Order the entire second regiment of the first echelon fighter jets and a group of the third regiment to immediately attack THAAD."  Wa airspace, intercept these little Japanese fighters and ensure the safety of the bomber formation," he immediately ordered.

    At 2:38, the airborne radar of Colonel Take Chi-hsien's plane, who served as the vanguard of the first echelon of the first fighter regiment, first discovered the Japanese fighter group in the airspace 50 kilometers southwest of Tafu.  Ma, "My dear, the little devil has shaken off his entire family fortune. Except for the two air battles in the South China Sea, I have never seen the little devil dispatch so many fighter jets at one time."

    He immediately reported to the formation commander: "Formation commander, I am Wu Zhixian of the vanguard group. I have discovered the Japanese fighter group. Please give me instructions if you want to launch an attack immediately!"

    Le Yiqin, who was at the command tower, clearly heard Wu Zhixian's voice. He clenched his fists tightly. They were finally about to fight. This was the last battle against the Japanese air force over the Indochina Peninsula. It was a decisive battle!  At this point, there was no trace of the Little Japanese planes in the sky of Indochina. Even Le Yiqin, who had experienced big and bad battles, could not help but feel a little nervous.

    The Takeshi Regiment was the first to enter the battle. Immediately, more than 300 fighter jets from the first echelon pounced on the Japanese fighter group. This was the largest aerial fight in the history of the Indochina air battle. The ** Southern Flying Group and the Japanese Army were dispatched to Southeast Asia.  The military air force, both sides invested nearly 800 fighter jets, and launched a desperate aerial battle over Tak Province in the border area of ??Thailand and Myanmar.

    Under the bright afternoon sunshine of Indochina, in the blue sky, fighter jets from both sides chased and rolled over each other. The sky was filled with strings of gunpowder smoke. From time to time, fighter jets exploded into a ball of fire in the air, or trailed long black smoke.  , plunged to the ground, and a column of smoke rolled up into the sky, filled with fire and black smoke.

    Regarding this unprecedented air battle, local residents in the Dafu area still changed their expressions when they mentioned it a few years later, "Oh, it was so scary that day, the sky was full of flying airplanes."The plane was almost covering the sun. It was so fierce that the roof of my house was hit by something that fell from the sky. I don¡¯t know what it was, and a big hole was smashed into it.  ".
