Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Ito's plan was simple, effective, and vicious. First, all troops were dispatched to launch a ferocious full-line attack on the U.S. military positions with maximum attack power, setting up a posture that determined to break through the U.S. military's defense line in the Calais Mountains, causing a third U.S. military attack.  The military defense line is in a critical situation. As a result, in order to protect the defense line from being breached, the Americans will send out all their fighter planes.

    Next, a small number of fighter jets will still be dispatched to harass the U.S. military fleet. When the U.S. fighter jets are pursuing it, they will lure the U.S. military fleet into the airspace where the three aviation groups ambush, and then encircle and annihilate them. After yesterday's air battle, the number of U.S. fighter jets will not  There are more than 400 fighter jets, and the total number of fighter jets of the three Japanese Army Air Forces reaches more than 1,000. They will form a three-to-one superiority in the three ambush airspaces.

    After killing the US aircraft, the Japanese fleet dispatched bombers to support the ground forces and completely broke through the defense line of the US Third Army. According to General Ito's plan, three divisions were left behind to divide, surround and annihilate the US Third Army in the Calais Mountains.  Army, and then, with Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta's Fourteenth Army as the assault force, they rushed directly to Manila. If the battle goes smoothly according to plan, the troops of the Empire's Southwest Pacific Expedition Army will arrive at the city of Manila tomorrow evening!

    After Chief of Staff Kawashima announced the battle deployment, General Ito said: "Gentlemen, the start time of the battle is exactly 4:30 in the morning on August 13th, that is, in the early morning of tomorrow, Haruta-kun's troops will withdraw from the first attack  Wave, other troops, after breaking through the US defense line, go straight to Manila along the breach. I need all the imperial warriors of the 14th Army to maintain sufficient physical strength and full fighting spirit to attack MacArthur's lair, Haruta-kun, you won't.  Have an opinion!¡±

    Lieutenant General Yoshihiko Haruta was so excited that he was trembling a little. He suddenly stood up and replied loudly: "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, Haruta thanks you for giving such an honor to the 14th Army. I will welcome you before seven o'clock tomorrow evening."  When you all arrive, I really want to see the cunning General MacArthur. When the time comes, I will treat him to drink our Japanese sake, and then, as the highest-ranking officer of the captured US military in the Southwest Pacific of our Empire of Japan, escort him to Tokyo.  , dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor!¡±

    The other Japanese generals sighed, oh, who said Yoshihiko Haruta was a cannon?  Yinjin, look at what people said, they are high-sounding and heroic, dignified and dignified, offering prisoners of war to His Majesty the Emperor.  This is a very good idea, the palace offers prisoners.  Probably only the ancient Chinese would have such fantastic ideas. How could this guy Springfield remember that the Japanese generals present at the meeting immediately looked at Yoshihiko Springfield with admiration?

    General Ito's face was even brighter with excitement. He discovered more and more how cute this guy Haruta was. After capturing MacArthur, he escorted him back to his homeland and presented it to His Majesty the Emperor. The person he captured was the top commander of a regional headquarters in the United States.  Officer, with just this one move, he can overshadow the navy and win the admiration of His Majesty the Emperor and the big bosses in the Ministry of War. Will it be difficult to rise to prominence next?

    Ito patted Yoshihiko Haruta's shoulder affectionately and said with encouragement: "Mr. Haruta, you must get this honor for the dispatch army. We are all looking forward to it!" Then, Ito said to the three army aviation commanders: "  Kashima-kun, Araki-kun, Kuroda-kun, gentlemen, Ito is here to ask you all. Tomorrow¡¯s battle will affect the overall situation of the Empire¡¯s southwest Pacific battlefield. Let us fight together for the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor.  !¡±

    The Japanese generals went, stood up in unison, and shouted loudly: "I am willing to serve the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor. If we don't fight, we will fight. If we fight, we will win!" The voice spread outside the tent, containing bloody murderous intent!

    Then, the Japanese generals left with confidence, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to the U.S. Third Army tomorrow. If Le Yiqin had the opportunity to learn about the contents of the Japanese military meeting, she would definitely slap the table and curse, "  The Japanese are really fucking useless. Aerial ambush was originally my patent, but it was plagiarized by this old devil Ito. The little devil learned things quickly enough. If I meet the little devil's aviation force next time, I will definitely give it to him.  You bastards, come up with an aerial ambush and tell the little devil that the master is the master!"

    That night, in the office building of the Singapore Military Control Commission, Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe delivered another piece of information about the Luzon battlefield on August 12 to the desk of division commander Tang Qiuli on time.

    Tang Qiuli climbed over, raised his eyebrows, and said: "Yuhe, the casualties of the US military today are unusually high. The Japanese army also dispatched fighter jets. From this, we can judge that tomorrow, there will be an air battle between the United States and Japan."  In the decisive battle of strength, Ito beat the U.S. Third Army too hard. At this time, MacArthur will inevitably use all his trump cards. Reinforcements from the British and Australian troops have not arrived, forcing the U.S. Third Army to  , We must fight the Japanese army in the Calais Mountains! "

    ? ?Yuhe asked: "Division commander, if all the US air power is wiped out by the Japanese aviation, in your judgment, what kind of countermeasures will MacArthur take?"

    Tang Qiuli said with a smile: "It's not if, but it's for sure. For three consecutive days, Ito ordered the Japanese army to attack with pure infantry to show their weakness. But today, a small number of fighter jets were sent, resulting in more than 17,000 US troops.  The huge casualties put the greatest pressure on the U.S. Third Army, and basically achieved the purpose of deploying U.S. air power!¡±

    "After the U.S. military's air power is completely lost, if I were MacArthur, I would immediately abandon Manila and retreat eastward to Australia as soon as possible before being surrounded by the Japanese army. Otherwise, it will be difficult to escape. However, look at MacArthur now  The posture is that he is not ready to evacuate Luzon Island. His last hope is the reinforcement of hundreds of thousands of British and Australian troops on the Australian mainland! "

    Zhao Yuhe shook his head and said with emotion: "Since Luzon Island is a dead end, why does MacArthur persist so stubbornly? I really can't understand this American's thoughts and actions!"

    Tang Qiuli was about to explain, "Ding-a-ling!" The phone on the table rang rapidly. He picked up the phone and said, "Is this the teacher? I am Le Yiqin. Now, I have an important situation to report to you. The flight  The Third Brigade of the Group's First Fighter Regiment was conducting a routine air patrol along the Strait of Malacca today when they discovered a squadron of Japanese fighter jets that penetrated deep into our side. When the Third Brigade chased after them, the little devil  He ran away a long time ago!" Le Yiqin's loud voice came clearly over the phone.

    Tang Qiuli asked calmly: "Oh, since this happened, Le Yiqin, do you have any safe way to deal with this situation?"

    When Le Yiqin heard this, he saw that the teacher did not discipline him. It seemed that he had a good idea. He said: "Sir, the little devil deliberately crossed the line and was a deliberate provocation. We must give a decisive blow. My plan is that tomorrow I will lead  Team, dispatch two fighter regiments to Sumatra Island to attack the Japs. Is this also a warning? The Singapore Navy and Air Force Base is separated from the Japs by a strait, and it only takes 20 minutes to get there!"

    Tang Qiuli's eyebrows gradually raised, and he said: "Le Yiqin, your appetite is still too small. I have received definite information. Tomorrow morning, American and Japanese planes will carry out a battle over Luzon Island.  A decisive battle, that is a large air battle involving nearly 2,000 aircraft. Are you interested in joining in and killing all the Japanese and US aircraft? "

    It was as if Le Yiqin had been on stimulants, her eyes were shining, and her heart was filled with joy. She thought to herself, "Oh, such a good thing happens only once in a lifetime. Once you get rich, you can kill the Americans and the Japanese at the same time."  Plane, hey, it makes me excited just thinking about it," I was about to reply loudly, but I suddenly felt that something was wrong. Why was there a bit of gunpowder in the teacher's tone?

    Le Yiqin said carefully: "Commander, if you approve the Southern Flying Group to fight, I can guarantee that no matter whether it is a kid's plane or a Yankee's plane, not a single one will be able to escape!" When he said these words, he was leading  with a probing tone.

    Suddenly, I heard the division commander roar, "Le Yiqin, you are so majestic, do you have a head? Listen, tomorrow's routine air patrol route will not allow one of your fighter jets to fly across the center line of the Strait of Malacca.  Stay away from the Luzon battlefield, otherwise, you can be my staff officer forever!"

    Le Yiqin broke out in a cold sweat and said hurriedly: "Commander, I review that we should not rush to ask for a fight. I guarantee that the Southern Flying Group air patrol fleet will definitely carry out your orders!" Putting down the phone, Le Yiqin let out a sigh of relief.  Wiping the sweat on his forehead, he muttered with lingering fear: "What a risk, and I almost didn't become a staff officer! However, it's a pity, it was a big air battle with more than 2,000 aircraft, there was no way, I couldn't participate, just  I¡¯m so greedy to watch!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe was on the side, listening with joy. Seeing Tang Qiuli put down the phone, he said: "Commander, you are targeting Commander Le's weak point. When I heard that he was asked to serve as your staff, I was frightened."  Breaking into a cold sweat!"

    Tang Qiuli said helplessly: "This Le Yiqin, sometimes he is so smart that it is unbelievable, and sometimes he is so impulsive that you want to kick him a few times. Yu He, believe it or not, if I approve him,  Le Yiqin dares to lead a regiment of fighter jets into the airspace where Japanese and American aviation forces are fighting! "

    Zhao Yuhe answered honestly: "Commander, I absolutely believe that even if he only brought ten fighter jets, he would dare to help in!"

    Tang Qiuli also said very seriously: "I absolutely believe that this guy can really do that!" After saying that, the two of them laughed!

    At 4:01 a.m. on August 13, nearly a thousand artillery pieces covered with camouflage nets were slowly raised on the Japanese artillery position.The large and ferocious muzzle was pointed at the US military position. On this ordinary day, something extraordinary was destined to happen.
