    Qingdao seaside, independent division naval and air force base, aviation ground air command, Liu Cuigang withdrew his gaze from the window and looked at his watch. In more than 40 minutes, the escorting fighter group will be mixed with the Japanese military aircraft group in the airspace around Busan.  The battle has begun, but he is not worried about it at all. The old man personally takes command of the battle, and coupled with the number of fighter jets, he has an absolute advantage. What is there to worry about?

    "Ding, ding, ding!" the phone kept ringing in the air, and from time to time, hurried staff officers came in and handed telegrams one after another to Colonel He Zhijun, chief of staff of the Southern Flying Group, and Colonel Dong Ningxuan, chief of staff of the Northern Flying Group.  , the two people discussed in low voices and issued various orders. Unless there was important military information, the two chiefs of staff consciously did not disturb Liu Cuigang. Therefore, Liu Cuigang seemed to be the only idle person in the tense and busy room.

    "Reporting to the chief of staff, we received a report from the ground radar station. Five minutes ago, the Japanese mixed fleet that took off from Kyushu Island, Japan, suddenly changed its route!" A staff officer with the rank of captain reported in a hurried tone.

    "What?" Dong Ningxuan and He Zhijun exchanged surprised looks, "The Japanese mixed fleet changed its course? Where is the destination?" He Zhijun asked eagerly.

    ¡°According to the current heading of the Japanese mixed fleet, it can be determined that it is heading towards Incheon!¡± the staff officer replied.

    "Order radar stations in various places to closely monitor the movements of the Japanese mixed fleet!" Dong Ningxuan said to the staff officer. The two looked at each other and walked towards Liu Cuigang in unison.

    "Commander, the enemy situation has changed. The Japanese mixed aircraft fleet taking off from Kyushu Island, Japan, suddenly changed its course five minutes ago. According to the report from the ground radar station, it went to the direction of Incheon!" Dong Ningxuan said concisely.

    "Oh?" Liu Cuigang also raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Are you sure?" "You're sure!" He Zhijun added.  "I am escorting a fighter group. How long is it expected to take before we can engage the enemy?" he asked again.  "Based on the current position of the fleet, we can engage in a firefight with the Japanese mixed fleet in the airspace around Busan in forty-three minutes, but" Dong Ningxuan hesitated and said.

    Liu Cuigang knew what Dong Ningxuan meant, and the Japanese mixed fleet suddenly changed its course.  If they rush to Incheon, then the original plan to intercept the Japanese aircraft group in Busan airspace will come to nothing. Now, the problem before us is.  Should the escort fighter group in the direction of Mokpo be ordered to change its course and pursue the Japanese mixed group?

    "How is our air power in the direction of Incheon?" Liu Cuigang suddenly asked.

    He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan were both old chiefs of staff. They immediately understood what the commander meant. Dong Ningxuan frowned.  The answer was: "The aviation force has four fighter regiments with 245 fighter planes, the fleet has one aircraft carrier with 28 carrier-based aircraft, the army has two bomber regiments with 108 bombers, and the fleet has 20 bombers.  "Commander, direction of Incheon. Our escort fighter group is at a disadvantage in terms of numbers!" These data are all in his mind, so he reminded.

    "Interesting! What tricks are the little devils playing?" Liu Cuigang frowned and said to himself.  "Get in touch with Commander Le and I'll speak to him personally!"

    Liu Cuigang picked up the intercom and said, "Old man, the enemy situation has suddenly changed. The Japanese mixed fleet changed its course five minutes ago and headed for Inchon. What do you think?" He said in a normal tone.

    "Hey, that's interesting!" Le Yiqin muttered with a grin, which was exactly the same as Liu Cuigang's words, "Man, my opinion is that this is a trick played by the commander of the Japanese air fleet. According to the intelligence of the special operations detachment,  , the main Japanese forces in the Incheon direction have evacuated this area, leaving only some local garrison troops and armed civilians, making it clear that they do not intend to defend, where are the little Japanese planes going to ignore him? "

    "Hahaha!" Liu Cuigang laughed, "Old man, the heroes see the same thing. The commander of the Japanese fleet made a false shot and left the nearest mountain airspace, but ran towards Incheon. The purpose was nothing more than to divert him away.  The ultimate goal of our escort fighter group in the direction of Mokpo is our landing force in the direction of Mokpo. The Japanese ground troops are concentrated in that direction. There is no reason not to fight for air supremacy! Yes, ignore him!"

    Le Yiqin grinned happily and said: "The little devil's fleet commander also wanted to lure us to intercept. He just wanted to consume the fuel of our fighter jets and shorten the time in the air. He went in a big circle, just to get the right look.  Since our fleet has a long range and insufficient fuel, old man, let's do something ruthless and order the escort fighter group in the direction of the mountains to come forward and stab him from the side. The real intention of the little devil can be hit in one fell swoop!  Come out! Play with me, old man, just make dumplings!"

    Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin were indifferent and recognized as the commanders of the Japanese air fleetDong Ningxuan and He Zhijun were playing tricks, but they had no confidence in their hearts. Dong Ningxuan thought about it and reminded: "Commander, so far, there is no possibility of concealment in the direction of the landing force's attack. The Japanese commander can be sure that Mokpo,  The direction of Gunshan and Incheon is the location for our landing troops.¡±

    Liu Cuigang said with a smile, "Chief of Staff, keep talking!"

    Facing Liu Cuigang's incomprehensible smile, Dong Ningxuan felt a little unsure, but he still bit the bullet and said, "Commander, since the Japanese army has determined the landing location of our army, theoretically speaking, Mokpo, Gunsan and Incheon  All three places can be targets of Japanese air force attacks. Even if the Japanese mixed fleet changes its course, it cannot rule out the possibility of an air attack on our landing troops in the direction of Incheon! "Commander Hele's decision is a risk!" "Dong Ningxuan!  The mood was a little excited.

    Liu Cuigang smiled, very happily, but ignored Dong Ningxuan, and looked at Colonel He Zhijun, the chief of staff of the Southern Flying Group and the director of the operations department, "Chief of Staff, do you think so too?"

    He Zhijun answered honestly: "Yes, Commander Liu, I agree with Chief of Staff Dong. I believe that Commander Le's main fighter group should change the established plan to fight the Japanese aircraft group in the Busan airspace.  The combat target is to go to Incheon airspace. After all, our escort fighter group in the direction of Incheon is weaker than the Japanese army. If the real attack target of the Japanese aircraft group is Incheon, not only will the escort group suffer heavy losses, but the landing force and escort fleet will also be attacked by the Japanese army.  Heavy damage to the bomber!"

    "It seems that both chiefs of staff are worried! Okay, let's wait and see!" Liu Cuigang said this, turned around and walked to the window. He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan looked at each other.

    "Bang!" General Tanaka threw the tea cup to the ground angrily, and the tea foam splashed on the face of Chief of Staff Kamiya who came to report, "What is that Kumamoto guy doing? Why did he disobey the order? The Third Air Force went to Incheon.  , Isn¡¯t it true that the air in Mokpo is not guarded? Order Kumamoto not to violate the orders of the garrison headquarters! Otherwise, I will report to the base camp and remove him for investigation! "

    In the office, everyone was silent. Looking at the angry roar of Commander Tanaka, Chief of Staff Kamiya looked very ugly, "Commander, I have contacted General Kumamoto of the Third Air Force many times, but I have not received an answer.  The explanation from the Third Air Force ground command post is that in order to achieve the suddenness of the air attack, the air fleet is maintaining radio silence!" He said in a dry tone.

    "Haga! That bastard Kumamoto! This is an excuse, a poor excuse! He is clearly afraid of the large aircraft group of the Independent Division in the direction of Mokpo, so he resorted to despicable means of avoiding the battle. In my name, he sent electricity to the Third Air Force ground command post.  Report, Major General Kumamoto, what you have done has violated the basic norms of the imperial military. As the supreme commander of the theater, I declare that from now on, you are no longer the commander of the Third Air Force, and your position will be replaced by the chief of staff.  Agent, and order you to immediately execute the order of the garrison headquarters! The aircraft fleet will return to the direction of Mokpo immediately!" General Tanaka said in a cold tone. He was really furious, his nose was like a watering can, and he was wheezing.  Rough.

    General Tanaka couldn't figure out why Kumamoto went to Incheon, which was destined to be undefendable. Even if you commanded the aircraft group and bombed the independent division troops that landed at Incheon, causing heavy losses, you could not change the outcome of the ground battle. Your combat aircraft could fall to  Holding trenches on the ground?

    This bastard openly disobeyed orders. There was not a single Imperial combat aircraft in the Mokpo airspace. Could it be that the Imperial soldiers on the ground were just allowed to be bombed indiscriminately by the independent division aircraft?

    Before a battle, an air formation commander is dismissed, and this formation is still flying in the air. This is rare in the history of the Imperial Army. Aren't you afraid that the air fleet will lose command?

    Chief of Staff Kamiya and the staff in the room all secretly complained that General Tanaka had lost his mind and issued such an unwise order. But looking at the Commander's face twisted with anger and the black lines on his head, Chief of Staff Kamiya Akechi  He shut his mouth tightly, sighed secretly, and sent a telegram to the Third Air Force.

    In the air over the Korean Peninsula, the mixed fleet of the Japanese Third Air Force changed its course. Major General Kumamoto knew that not only General Tanaka did not understand what he had done, but also several wing commanders of the air force were confused and full of questions. However,  He didn't want to explain, as long as his subordinates faithfully carried out the orders, as for the strategies he used, they didn't understand them, let alone have the right to ask.

    Major General Kumamoto looked at the fleet following his plane with satisfaction, and continued to issue the order, "The First Fighter Wing, with the strength of two brigades, went out of the fleet to conduct surveillance and reconnaissance in the direction of Mokpo. The Second Fighter Wing, with two groups,  The troops of each brigade moved forward to conduct reconnaissance and reconnaissance in the direction of the mountains. Each fighter brigade sent out to launch an attack.After forming an independent division fighter group, do not engage in combat with it and return to the formation immediately!  "
