Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Major General Komura, the air defense commander of Japan's Southern Defense Headquarters on Honshu Island, is afraid. Since the last time Tokyo was bombed by a Chinese aircraft fleet, dozens of heavy aerial bombs have fallen on Ginza, a prosperous place not far from His Majesty the Emperor's Palace. They are still there today.  Not restored to its original appearance.  ¡Ñ

    Mentioning the last bombing, the citizens of Tokyo were panicked, and the Honshu Southern Defense Headquarters was even more deserted. For this, His Majesty the Emperor was furious and rebuked the Honshu Southern Defense Headquarters. Many senior officers in the headquarters were severely punished.  Some of them were demoted and used, and some were ordered to retire from active service and be transferred to reserve duty. Officers with greater responsibilities met an even worse end. They were simply sent from the base camp to a deserted island far away from the mainland to serve as a garrison commander.

    Major General Takamura himself was the commander and deputy commander of the Air Defense Command. After receiving sanctions and both resigned, he was transferred from the chief of staff of another army unit to the position of commander, and his military rank was also promoted to major general. Learning from the past, the current China Independent Division's aircraft fleet  The thought of coming to Tokyo again makes me feel frightened and worried.

    The scolded driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car swerved like a frightened wild horse, accelerating suddenly and almost throwing Major General Takamura out of the car, who was full of thoughts. He suddenly became furious and was about to speak.  He scolded the driver and then shut up after thinking about it.

    After the car arrived at the defense headquarters, Major General Takamura walked quickly to the war room while asking the officer on duty who was following behind him about the situation. When he opened the door of the war room, he saw Bradbur, the commander of the Honshu Island Flying Corps, who was recruiting pilots.  Colonel Li was standing in front of the map. I don't know why, but when he saw this blue-eyed, yellow-haired Westerner.  His mood suddenly calmed down.

    "Colonel Bradbury, my subordinates have briefed you on the enemy's situation, right?" Major General Takamura asked, "I wonder if you have any suggestions?"

    "Introduced on the phone!" Colonel Bradbury said calmly: "I called the ground radar station again to verify the situation. The enemy situation is true, they are all fighter jets. According to the radar station's report, the Chinese aircraft fleet  We have passed the Miyake Island airspace and will reach the airspace south of Tokyo in about 40 minutes!¡±

    From this point, the gap between the two people can be seen. After receiving the call, Colonel Bradbury immediately verified the situation and asked for details, while Major General Takamura did not expect this and was too worried.

    "What?" Major General Komura exclaimed.  It was almost like a conditioned reflex, and the fear in my heart became even worse. As long as the aircraft fleet of the China Independent Division flew over Tokyo, no matter whether it was bombing or strafing, or even just wandering around, doing nothing, I would not get better.  If you eat the fruit, you will be derelict in your duty.  I'm afraid it's possible to lose your head, and no one can save yourself.

    "Colonel Bradbury, please your aviation group to attack immediately, and be sure to block the China Independent Division aviation fleet from Tokyo airspace!" Major General Komura was not ordering, but pleading.

    "Your Excellency, Commander, the war has not progressed yet!" Colonel Bradbury said slowly.  There was a hint of imperceptible ridicule on the corner of his mouth, "We still have forty minutes to prepare. Can we sit down and study tactical issues?"

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????do?do?no?go against?the?little?Japanese?general,?Colonel?Bradbury,?in?his?opinion.  This Japanese general knew nothing about air combat tactics and strategies. He was a mere layman. He just didn't understand how the Japanese military could assign a layman to direct air defense.

    Seeing that the Frenchman looked nonchalant and had no time to study tactical issues, he couldn't wait to investigate. The base camp investigated him. Of course you are irresponsible. The unlucky one is me. Major General Takamura was really anxious and said sternly: "Bra  Colonel DeBerry, as commander, I order you to take off immediately to meet the enemy, and be sure to block the Chinese aircraft fleet outside Tokyo airspace!"

    "Oh! Dear Commander, don't worry!" Colonel Bradbury shrugged and said calmly: "I'm thinking about why the Chinese know that Tokyo is our heavily defended place.  , dare to touch stones, and only dispatched more than 200 fighter jets, does it smell like a conspiracy? "

    Major General Takamura looked at his watch. Nearly ten minutes had passed. He didn't care about arguing with the Frenchman. He picked up the phone on the table and ordered loudly: "Sound the air defense siren. The entire city of Tokyo has entered air defense mode. The ground  Air defense troops enter combat positions!"

    After putting down the phone, Major General Takamura's eyes turned red. Once the air defense siren was sounded, he would have no way out. If he didn't block the Chinese aircraft fleet outside Tokyo, he would end up in a miserable state. Think about it.  , when the alarm sounds, His Majesty the Emperor will definitely be shocked. If a few more bombs are dropped, the consequences will be serious!

    Major General Takamura said coldly to the damn Frenchman: "My order just now, didn¡¯t you hear?  If your flight group does not dare to fight, I will order the Seventh Air Force and the Eighth Air Force to take off immediately to fight!  "

    Colonel Bradbury shrugged helplessly and said: "Your Excellency, Commander, don't be impatient. The boys in my flight corps are impatient to teach those rookie pilots in China a lesson. I am considering whether to use this opportunity to teach them a lesson."  Opportunity to catch all the Chinese aircraft fleet!¡±

    "Oh?" Major General Takamura's eyes lit up. If the China fleet was blocked outside Tokyo airspace and wiped out, of course it would be best. However, was this Westerner talking big words? He then asked suspiciously:  "Mr. Colonel, do you have a plan to destroy the enemy?"

    "Play hard to get!" It seems that Colonel Bradbury knows a lot about Eastern culture. Let me use an idiom, "My plan is to send a small number of fighter jets to intercept first. Of course, the interception cannot be stopped. In this way, the Chinese  The fleet of aircraft will be slightly obstructed and enter the Tokyo airspace. Then, we will dispatch fighter jets that are several times larger than the enemy's to encircle the sky above Tokyo. We can annihilate these more than 200 Chinese fighter jets in one battle! "

    "No!" After hearing the Westerner's plan, Major General Komura objected almost without thinking: "You cannot put a Chinese combat aircraft into Tokyo airspace. This is a principle that must be adhered to and a priority!"

    Are you kidding? Major General Takamura was so angry that he almost cursed. Even if only one Chinese combat aircraft appeared in the sky over downtown Tokyo and fired a few symbolic bullets, even if it killed more than 200 other aircraft, he would  They will also bear the censure of the base camp and the doubts of Tokyo citizens. Not putting China combat aircraft into Tokyo airspace is the most important. It involves their own future and destiny, and annihilating the enemy is secondary.

    "Why are you opposed?" Colonel Bradbury also got angry. He slapped the table and stood up. He stared at Major General Takamura and shouted in a loud voice: "Give me a reason!"

    He was furious. Didn't this Japanese have any tactical vision at all? What a good plan. Play hard to get, lure the enemy deep, and then annihilate them all after encirclement. He can guarantee that if he follows this plan, he will be the leader of his command so far.  The most glorious air battle ever.

    "I said that ensuring that a Chinese combat aircraft will not invade the skies over Tokyo is the highest priority combat principle!" Major General Komura responded with the same high voice.

    "You don't understand air combat tactics at all, so you gave up such a good opportunity in vain!" Colonel Bradbury shouted at him.

    As soon as the door of the war room opened, Lieutenant General Ohno Shinkuro, commander of the Homeland Defense Honshu Southern Defense Headquarters, walked in with a gloomy face and hurried steps. He immediately asked: "Commander Takamura, the air defense siren has been sounded.  , the ground radar station has discovered the Chinese aircraft fleet. It has been more than ten minutes now, why haven't our aircraft fleet taken off to fight? You are delaying the fighter plane!"

    Lieutenant General Ohno's face was very ugly. He was having breakfast at home when a shrill air raid siren suddenly sounded. He was so shocked that he dropped his job and hurriedly called the defense headquarters to learn about the situation. When he heard the combat staff report that so far,  , before our fleet took off to meet the enemy, his flames started to fly, and he immediately rushed to the headquarters in a car.

    Lieutenant General Ohno's worries and considerations were similar to those of Major General Takamura. The first principle was to ensure that the skies above Tokyo were not invaded by Chinese combat aircraft. Therefore, as soon as he arrived in the war room, he questioned Major General Takamura head-on.  .

    Major General Takamura hurriedly explained his differences and disputes with Colonel Bradbury succinctly. Lieutenant General Ohno turned his face and said without thinking: "Colonel Bradbury, please execute Commander Takamura's order immediately.  , We don¡¯t have much time left. Your plan is very good, but it goes against the principle of priority!¡±

    "Okay!" Colonel Bradbury shrugged helplessly. He could argue with Major General Takamura until his face turned red, but facing Commander Ohno, he had to buy it and picked up the phone on the table, "Combat Department, I  It¡¯s Captain Bradbury. Now I¡¯m ordering the First Air Force and the Second Air Force to take off immediately to meet the enemy, and be sure to block the Chinese fleet outside Tokyo¡¯s airspace!¡±

    He said with emphasis: "It must be emphasized again that once the Chinese fleet begins to leave the battlefield and return, the pursuit range shall not exceed the Miyake Island airspace, and no one will be allowed to pursue it in depth!"

    After putting down the phone, Colonel Bradley shook his head with infinite regret and said to Lieutenant General Ohno: "Commander, do you know that from the moment I issued the order, we lost more than 200 Chinese fighter jets?"  , all opportunities in Tokyo airspace have been eliminated. I am very sorry for this!¡±

    "If the Westerners are willing to go out and fight the Chinese, their goal has been achieved. Lieutenant General Ohno's face relaxed."He said to Colonel Bradbury cordially and politely: "Mr. Colonel, I know your plan is perfect. Come, let's sit down and talk!"
