    what happened?  Major General Shimizu, the commander of the 21st Air Force, who received the report, was also confused. The order he received was to dispatch most of the combat aircraft to rush to Adelaide urgently. The rest were sent to the Imperial Army Headquarters in Australia.  Nothing was mentioned in the order.

    However, Major General Shimizu's brain reacted relatively quickly. The battle took place in the Adelaide area. Since the fighter group of the China Independent Division dared to go southeast of Adelaide and intercept its own mixed group on the way, then  This means that the development trend of the battle in the Adelaide area is very unfavorable to the Imperial Army. It is very likely that Adelaide has been lost. The previous 17th and 19th Air Forces are probably  More danger than good?

    More than two-thirds of the combat aircraft in his own air force were left to break in alone, which was very dangerous. Major General Shimizu hurriedly ordered Colonel Hashimoto, "The battle situation in the Adelaide area has changed. Immediately leave the battlefield with the Chinese aircraft group.  Return quickly!"

    Colonel Hashimoto didn't want to fight for a long time. It was getting late, and the performance of the Imperial fighter jets was very unsuitable for air combat in the dark. At this point, he suffered a big loss. Moreover, the number of Chinese fighter jets that intercepted him was more than  He had a large number of fighter jets and was outnumbered. This sudden air battle was not what he wanted in the first place.

    Now, since the commander issued the order to retreat, Colonel Hashimoto would never show the bravery and ferocity of the imperial pilots. He took advantage of the opportunity of the Chinese fighter group to completely encircle it, and quickly issued the order, "Mixed formations, pay attention.  Don't be reluctant to fight, break away from the battle immediately and start returning home. The fighter formation is responsible for covering!"

    However, it¡¯s not that easy to leave. The independent division¡¯s fighter group and the attack from the left and right wings, if a pair of big iron pliers bite hard on the Japanese mixed aircraft group, sparks will suddenly fly.  In the growing darkness, fighter jets from both sides flew up and down, chasing each other.  Melee together.

    Under such air combat conditions, the fighter jets equipped by the Japanese army obviously suffered heavy losses, and were constantly beaten and exploded in the air.  Colonel Hashimoto repeatedly reported to Air Force Commander Major General Shimizu: "Your Excellency, Commander. Our mixed fleet was fiercely attacked by a Chinese fighter group and was unable to break away from the battle and return home. Please request for reinforcements!"

    The 21st Air Force is the lifeblood of Major General Shimizu. How can he watch being eaten up by the fighter group of the Independent Division? He also knows that Colonel Hashimoto is definitely a strong man under his command, and he is not very disadvantageous in air combat.  Under such circumstances, this guy would not ask for help again and again!

    but.  Major General Qingshui was unable to make a decision on reinforcements.  Without orders from his superiors, if he invests all the remaining fighter jets, he will not be able to escape military law if the losses are huge. Secondly, the number of remaining fighter jets in the 21st Air Force is no more than a hundred at best, not to mention  , it is already night, and the empire's fighter jets are as good as they are, but they are just as fucked up and not suitable for night air combat.

    There is no other way, Major General Shimizu can only order Colonel Hashimoto, "Get rid of the entanglement of China fighter jets as much as possible and return as soon as possible!"

    Major General Shimizu put it lightly. The current Colonel Hashimoto is in a miserable state. The independent division's fighter group has formed a two-way flanking attack. Even if he wants to leave the battlefield now, he cannot do it at all, unless he is chased all the way.  A spanking can only be achieved if the fighter group of the independent division can break away from the advantage and encircle it!

    The air battle that took place in the Adelaide airspace and the Lilium Bend airspace was very fierce. Although the independent division had an advantage in fighter numbers, in a short period of time, it defeated the Japanese air force of more than one and a half, more than 700  It will take some time to kill all the fighter jets.

    After the air battle lasted for more than thirty minutes, the aircraft fleet commanded by Wu Zhenjiang arrived from the Chagos Islands base and once again joined the Australian battlefield. In this way, the comparison in the number of combat aircraft between the independent division and the Japanese army has undergone a fundamental change.  It is said that even if there were five or six hundred more Japanese fighter jets nowadays, Wu Zhenjiang would still have the appetite to swallow them.

    "The first to third regiments immediately rushed to the Lilembend airspace, and together with the previous formations, left all the escort aircraft of the 21st Air Force of the Little Devils! The rest of the formations followed me into Afghanistan.  The Japanese aircraft fleet in the Dredd airspace is under attack!" Wu Zhenjiang issued the order according to the air combat battlefield situation.

    Wu Zhenjiang then reported the above situation to Xin Xiguo, who was in command on the ground. At this time, Xin Xiguo was completely relieved. These two air battles were definitely won. No matter how they fought, the entire Japanese 19th Air Force,  Most of the 21st Air Force could not escape the fate of annihilation.

    Looking at the blazing air battle in the sky, Xin Xiguo said to the combat staff: "Immediately send a telegram to the Australian Campaign Command. The Western Front Landing Force Command reported that in the Adelaide airspace and Lelum Bend  In the airspace, our Chagos Islands base fighter group and escort fleet carrier-based aircraft group?We have surrounded the entire Japanese 19th Air Force and most of the 21st Air Force, and are confident of achieving the result of annihilating the Japanese aircraft fleet!  "

    "Okay! Battle and the others have done a great job!" After receiving the telegram from Xin Xiguo, he looked at the distance and pointed it out to the division. The time to send a telegram of successful landing across all lines in southern Australia was getting closer and closer, and Tang Qiusheng was somewhat anxious.  , his face suddenly glowed with energy, and what he and Qiuquan were most worried about was the Japanese 21st Air Force near Melbourne.

    Now, Battelle and the others are confident that the main force of the Japanese 21st Air Force, which is reinforcing Adelaide, will remain in the sky above Lelum Bend, preventing them from returning to their home base. The last trace of worry is gone. However, in Melbourne  The landing time would have to be postponed to night, which was inconsistent with the original plan and would also cause great difficulties and casualties to the landing troops.

    Tang Qiusheng thought thoughtfully and said: "Qiuquan, in this case, even if the threat of the Japanese 21st Air Force is eliminated, our landing time will have to be changed to night. My opinion is that no matter what, it will not be possible."  The division commander¡¯s entire future action plan cannot be delayed because of us, landing in Melbourne!¡±

    "Therefore, the landing operation must be completed before twelve o'clock tonight! The division commander is probably waiting eagerly for our telegram!"

    Tang Qiuquan nodded and agreed with his cousin's opinion. Indeed, it was already past six o'clock in the evening. If you wanted to land and occupy Melbourne before twelve o'clock tonight, it would be very difficult. A large-scale landing at night would pose a huge threat to the attacking troops.  The disadvantage is that after the landing is successful, it is even more difficult to capture Melbourne. Just street fighting with the defending Japanese army will take a long time.

    On the contrary, it is not very difficult for the Japanese army to attack the beachhead position of the Melbourne defenders. "Brother Qiu Sheng, I agree with your opinion. In any case, we must send the division headquarters all information in southern Australia before twelve o'clock tonight."  Predetermined target, successful landing telegram!¡±

    "Okay, Qiuquan, you can act according to your plan!" He said to his cousin who was also very motivated.

    Tang Qiuquan nodded and concisely issued an order to the combat staff beside him: "The escort fleet's carrier-based aircraft group will attack immediately to raid the main airport of the Japanese 21st Air Force, and then conduct a large-scale bombing of the Japanese beachhead in Melbourne!  "

    Ogpalli, the field airfield of the Japanese 21st Air Force, Commander Shimizu, now the rest is troublesome. Just a few minutes ago, he was still in the Lelum Bend airspace, fighting with the independent division fighter group.  Colonel Hashimoto, who was fighting hard, reported another desperate situation, "Your Excellency, Commander, the China fighter group has added reinforcements. Our mixed fleet is now surrounded by heavy siege, and it is difficult to escape from the battlefield and return home!"

    "Faced with this absolutely unfavorable situation, Hashimoto is determined to command his subordinates and fight to the death with the China fighter group, even if all of them are shattered"

    Before Colonel Hashimoto finished speaking, he heard a burst of fierce machine gun fire. After the shooting, Major General Qingshui could no longer receive any information from Colonel Hashimoto. Judging from experience, his brave and good warrior  This subordinate must have been crushed by the Empire of Japan and His Majesty the Emperor. Together with his fleet, after such heavy losses, the 21st Imperial Air Force was dead in name only!

    When Major General Qingshui was feeling depressed, he suddenly heard a shrill siren blaring over the airport. A staff officer rushed in and reported breathlessly: "Report to the commander, enemy planes are incoming!"

    "Enemy plane?" Major General Qingshui jumped up in surprise at first, and then shouted angrily: "Baga! What nonsense, where did the enemy plane come from? Have you identified the identity of the incoming enemy plane?"

    It makes sense for Major General Qingshui to be angry. The war in southern Australia has only lasted seven or eight hours from the beginning to the present. The current battlefield can only occur in the Adelaide area. In the direction of Melbourne, where can the enemy come from?  machine?

    What¡¯s more, the guy who reported the situation didn¡¯t explain the situation clearly. How many enemy planes were incoming, from which direction, how far away were they from the airport, and most importantly, who was the enemy?  If it is said to be a fleet of China Independent Division, it is impossible, right?

    The poor little staff officer was sobered up by the commander's scolding. However, he obviously didn't know the more specific situation, so he hesitated: "Your Excellency, Commander, this, what, I heard the siren too.  I¡¯ll report it to you right away I haven¡¯t figured out the other situation yet!

    Major General Shimizu almost lost his mind with anger. How could he have such an idiot under his command in the Imperial Japanese Air Force? He didn't even understand what was going on, and just relied on the sound of the siren to rush into it and report it.  An enemy plane is incoming. What if it is a false alarm?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?The general stared with cannibalistic eyes, and just when he was about to give this bastard a hard time, "Ding, ding, ding!" the phone rang quickly. He picked up the phone and was about to lose his temper when he heard "Boom! Boom! Boom!"  ! ¡ª¡ªBoom!" A series of loud noises, the ground was shaking, and what I saw were bursts of fire.
