Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    It doesn't matter about preserving strength, but out of practical considerations. Even if you fight against the aviation force of the Army Division, can you gain the upper hand?  General Ito did not have the slightest certainty that he would defeat the dispatched military air force. The sky above the entire Southwest Pacific region was open to the China Devil's aircraft group, and he would be attacked by air attacks from the Japanese Army aircraft group at any time. By that time  , your life will be very sad.

    We won the battle. The credit goes to those guys in the navy. The loss was my strength, Ito. The Chinese people have a saying, "Make someone else's wedding dress!" At this time, this sentence was running through Admiral Ito's mind.  .

    Chief of Staff Kawashima's advice played a decisive role in prompting General Ito to change his order. Araki Air Force and Kuroda Air Force closely monitored the Japanese division's carrier-based aircraft group. If there was no substantial attack, they would not  To take any counterattack, anyway, the Navy Division's carrier-based aircraft groups are always circling in the airspace on the edge of Kalimantan and Sumatra. Let's take a look. The Kashima Air Force dispatched two fighter wings to support the naval fleet.

    After receiving the order from the headquarters, Major General Yoshiyasu Araki read the telegram several times. He felt both disappointed and relieved. He had lost an opportunity to fight the Chinese aircraft group. It was a pity that he did not have to fight the Chinese aircraft group and avoided it.  Regarding the loss of the aviation fleet, Major General Araki also knew that once the war started, his aviation fleet would probably not have many planes left. That Le Yiqin was by no means a person with a false reputation!

    The first wave of fighter jet formations that took off from Singapore passed through the Java Sea airspace smoothly without any obstruction. It was so smooth that the air commander of the formation could not believe it. Le Yiqin, who was at the airport, was also surprised after receiving the report.  .  I couldn't help but think to myself, "Is it the kid's plane that keeps the door closed, or is there another conspiracy?"

    When the situation was reported to Tang Qiuli, he only said a few words to Chief of Staff Zhao Yuhe, "Tell Le Yiqin that the Japanese fighter jets did not intercept. It was the containment and deterrence of the fleet's carrier-based aircraft groups that played a role. Don't  Ignore him and proceed as planned! At the same time, order the fleet¡¯s aircraft fleet and if the Japanese aircraft do not attack, we must not take the initiative to attack!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe said with a smile: "Commander, I'm afraid that after your order is issued, the fleet carrier-based aircraft pilots must be so frustrated that they will curse!"

    Tang Qiuli said: "As long as we achieve the purpose of escorting the British and Australian troops, it will be the greatest victory. Since Ito Yanzaburo knows what is going on, there is no need for us not to cooperate. In this case, the pressure on the Le Yiqin fleet will also be reduced.  a lot of!"

    Zhao Yuhe really said that after receiving the order from the fleet aviation commander, the carrier-based aircraft pilots felt aggrieved.  I can't even describe it. I saw the Japanese artillery positions and infantry positions so close to me, all displayed in front of my eyes, but I refused to let them fight. Moreover, under the eyes of the Japanese, I wandered around arrogantly for a long time, and then nothing happened.  I saw a Japanese aircraft. What on earth was going on?

    Tang Qiuli's nephew Tang Yunfei was now the commander of the Third Fighter Regiment of Fleet Carrier Aircraft. The 21-year-old aviation colonel was the only one in the entire ** division.  It was not for the sake of Tang Qiuli, commander of the ** division, or Tang Qiuquan, commander of the fleet, but Tang Yunfei himself achieved the result with his own strength.

    To be honest, Tang Yunfei's status as the nephew of several big bosses in the army not only did not bring him any benefits or preferential treatment, but on the road to promotion, it was more difficult than others. According to normal rules, after serving as the regiment leader  , those with corresponding military ranks will be promoted to colonel, but the commander of the fleet, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, was pressed hard for a year and tested for a year. In the end, with his outstanding performance without any faults, he was naturally promoted to the rank of colonel.  Colonel.

    Just like that, his uncle Tang Qiuquan beat him from time to time. Now, Tang Yunfei commanded his regiment of more than 60 carrier-based aircraft, hovering in the sky. Hearing the constant complaints from the pilots in the earphones, he couldn't help but smile.  I don't know the entire action plan, and I don't know much about the fleet's orders.

    From the bottom of his heart, Tang Yunfei really wanted to compete with Japanese pilots. In recent years, the fleet had participated in very few battles, and was incomparable with the ground troops. For him who longed for fierce battles in the sky, it was inevitable.  A pity.

    Just when Tang Yunfei was thinking wildly, a call came from the earphones, "301! 301! 321 call, please answer if you hear it!"

    Tang Yunfei recognized the voice of Lieutenant Colonel Qiao Xiguang, captain of the First Battalion, and quickly replied: "301 received, please speak to 321!"

    Qiao Xiguang said eagerly: "301, below me is a shore artillery position of the Japs. Please approve it. I will go down and launch a few shuttles for the Japs. Maybe I can draw out the Japs' fighter jets. Don't we?"  Let¡¯s just fight it out! No need to hang around here!¡±

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The words of light are full of temptation and realistic. For Tang Yunfei, who is eager to fight, he simply cannot refuse this temptation. As long as he gives the order, the pilots whose eyes will light up when they hear the battle will definitely be able to  The Japanese shore artillery position below was beaten to the ground. Then, Japanese fighter jets would definitely appear, and an air battle would begin. My regiment would definitely not suffer. What next?

    Tang Yunfei was agitated, and suddenly woke up from his hot-headed impulse. He had to consider the consequences of violating military orders. His identity could not save his own life, and the punishment would definitely be the most severe.

    Tang Yunfei was very upset because of his impulsive thoughts just now. You Qiao Xiguang almost caused me to go to the law enforcement agency. "Qiao Xiguang, don't be too careful and strictly implement the order. If anyone acts without permission, the consequences will be for you."  knew!"

    In the earphones, there was a sound of sighs from the pilots. Tang Yunfei used his calmness that was incompatible with his age to escape the disaster. If it was really because of his impulsiveness that it affected the completion of the operation of the Le Yiqin fleet, it even caused  If he suffered heavy losses, Tang Qiuli would not hesitate to punish him according to military law, and he might even be shot!

    Tang Qiuli in Singapore did not know that his most beloved nephew had almost gone into a misfire, ruining the entire plan. Since the Japanese army made no move to intercept, the first wave of fighter formations flew directly to the Coral Sea airspace as planned.  .

    Thirty minutes later, Le Yiqin commanded the second echelon formation and flew into the sky. He himself was also in the entire formation. As of 6:30 in the morning on August 25, there were four waves of attacks*  * Division Aviation, the fighter and bomber formations flying to the south of the group have all taken off, flying along the route of the first echelon towards the Coral Sea.

    At 6:40, Lieutenant General Wagner, Chief of Staff of the British and Australian Army, walked back and forth in the telecommunications cabin with an anxious look on his face, like an ant on a hot pot. The troop transport ship formation had arrived in the Coral Sea.  The escort fleet was originally scheduled to meet here, but due to unknown reasons, it was delayed for more than thirty minutes. Isn't this harmful?

    Leaving Luzon Island in a hurry, as soon as he set foot on the vast sea, Chief of Staff Wagner's heated mind began to calm down and he realized the danger. Hundreds of unarmed troop transport ships on the unobstructed sea were the Japanese army.  A living target for aircraft and warships!

    It must be escorted by the fleet, but I know that the British Empire's task force in Australia does not have an aircraft carrier, let alone an aircraft, hundreds of troop transport ships, and such a huge fleet. I don't want to attract the attention of the Japanese Navy.  None of it worked. The urge to return to Australia was replaced by deep fear and worry. Lieutenant General Wagner's heart had never stopped trembling since he left Luzon Island and sailed to the vast sea.

    My impetuous behavior is like washing a hundred thousand soldiers, adding seasonings, and sending them to the Japanese navy's mouth fresh and fresh, just saying "Please taste it!"

    Returning to the crisis-ridden Luzon Island, not to mention, knowing that it was a place of death, he would not die with that American MacArthur, so he could only take a risk. Perhaps, the Japanese Navy would not expect that he would dare to fight without an escort fleet.  In this case, it will return to support Australia and will not intercept and kill it at sea.

    With the mentality of gamblers, one hundred thousand British and Australian soldiers, led by their chief of staff, embarked on an unknown voyage. During the half day and whole night at sea, Chief of Staff Wagner did not dare to sleep a wink.  , it was not until he received a telegram from General Fernandez informing him that Chinese planes would come to escort him that Lieutenant General Wagner's heart fell into his stomach.

    With uneasiness, great expectations and extremely complicated emotions, we finally arrived at the scheduled rendezvous point, but the damn fleet was more than half an hour late. Lieutenant General Wagner, who didn't even have the intention to curse, got closer and closer to the Australian mainland.  The more uneasy he felt, he smelled the smell of danger in the sea breeze. The Japanese warships did not appear along the way. Is it here to give him the final blow?

    Lieutenant General Wagner's premonition soon became a reality. The telecommunications room received a telegram from the escort fleet. The fleet was attacked by the Japanese naval fleet in the Coral Sea. The battle was extremely fierce. There were already five warships.  , was attacked by Japanese carrier-based aircraft and sank to the bottom of the sea. The fleet commander said that the fleet could not even protect itself now and had no ability to come to escort it.

    At the end of the telegram, all I needed to add was, "Your Excellency, Chief of Staff, you and your 100,000 brothers wish you well!" I can't care about you anymore. The Japanese planes and warships were so fierce that they even hit me.  Whether he will live to see the sun tomorrow is unknown!

    After reading the telegram, Chief of Staff Wagner's heart felt cold, his eyes turned black, and he lamented in his heart: "What should have come has come, the JapaneseAfter all, he didn¡¯t let himself go!  "
