    After receiving the call back from the division headquarters, Tang Qiuquan laughed up to the sky. He slapped the table with a rare gesture and shouted "Okay!" With an expression of eagerness to try, the officers of the fleet, including Major General Amosiev, were stunned.  , this is the first time I have seen the commander behave like this. It turns out that the cold and unsmiling commander has such a passionate side!

    Tang Qiuquan was indeed very excited and mobile. After lying dormant for three years, he finally had a chance to show off his skills. Moreover, the opponent who came to him was a half-crippled piece of trash. He could just give the fleet a flag for the first battle.  With great momentum, even though he is cold and stern, he can't restrain his excitement and great pride!

    The situation of the Nomura Air Force provided in the telegram from the division headquarters further increased Tang Qiuquan's confidence in fighting a battle. It is not an exaggeration to say that this opponent is a semi-crippled piece of trash. The intelligence content of the division commander is as follows  :

    "The Nomura Air Force is affiliated with Japan's Southeast Asia Expeditionary Force. In the just-concluded air battles in Tafu and Beibu Gulf, its fighter units were completely wiped out by our ** Division's Southern Flying Group. Its current strength is four bomber wings.  , the total number is one hundred and sixty-three, including forty-two torpedo bombers, the rest are dive bombers and level bombers, the models are "Nakajima" and "Kawasaki", in addition, there is a group of reconnaissance aircraft.  "

    After reading the intelligence, Tang Qiuquan became more confident about this battle. Without fighter jets, bombers alone attacked a fleet with two aircraft carriers and powerful air defense firepower over a long distance. Is this Nomura crazy?  On the two aircraft carriers of our own fleet, there are two flight groups and 128 carrier-based aircraft.  In terms of quantity, although there are more than thirty aircraft less, the victory or defeat in the battle between fighter jets and bombers is not determined by quantity.

    Tang Qiuquan said to Colonel Xin Xiguo, Chief of Staff of the Fleet: "Chief of Staff, it will take more than an hour for the Japanese reconnaissance plane to make a round trip. It will take more than an hour for Nomura to gather enough bombers to order the captains and aviation commanders of each ship.  The commander of the carrier-based aircraft flight group and the captain of the high-speed gunboat group immediately went to the flagship to hold a combat meeting to deploy relevant matters."

    Before the people attending the meeting arrived, Tang Qiuquan and Amosiyev carefully studied the overall deployment of this battle.  Although he was full of disdain and contempt for the incoming Japanese bombers, Tang Qiuquan, like Amosiev, attached great importance to tactics.  Moreover, both of them agreed that the Japanese bombers would definitely come, otherwise, they would not conduct a second reconnaissance.

    Tang Qiuquan was busy holding a combat meeting, thousands of miles away.  Tang Qiuli from the Yangon Battle Frontline Command in Yangon was not idle either. He picked up the phone.  "Myitkyina Air Force Base? I'm Tang Qiuli, calling for Le Yiqin's call."

    The number one figure in the ** division, the legendary God of Hundreds of Wars, personally called Myitkyina. The young female operator¡¯s heart was beating with excitement.  I actually heard the teacher's voice in person, and the little girl moved as fast as possible.  With skillful movements, he received the call to the conference room of the Myitkyina base.

    Le Yiqin was not idle either. He ambushed the second echelon of the Japanese fighter group in the Beibu Gulf and successfully returned home. Compared with the bloody battle of the first echelon over Dafu, the second echelon was so relaxed that he felt uncomfortable. According to the division commander  Tang Qiuli stipulated that no matter which unit it is in the ** division, after a battle, it must immediately conduct a battle summary, identify shortcomings and deficiencies, and summarize experiences and lessons.

    Le Yiqin looked at the hundreds of energetic and joyful pilots, squinting together with joy, and first said loudly: "Brothers, you have done a great job! From now on, Indochina will be our sky, and the little devil will not even have a shadow."  I can¡¯t even see it anymore. The division commander personally told me that he would come to Myitkyina to celebrate our victory. The Political Training Department is counting the names of those who have made meritorious deeds. Everyone said, are you happy? "

    The pilots below cheered loudly, and the joyful atmosphere almost overturned the roof. Le Yiqin's face suddenly changed, and she said sternly: "But, I am not satisfied, why? During the ambush battle in Beibu Gulf, there were actually people  I know that most of you want to be lenient and merciful to the little Japanese pilots who skydive, right?¡±

    The happy atmosphere suddenly solidified. The pilots did not expect that the commander would suddenly bring up this topic on such an occasion. They all looked at each other. The pilots who did have this idea shrank their necks and looked behind their comrades, for fear of being commanded.  The official's eyes took aim.

    Le Yiqin continued: "Today, I solemnly tell you here that if anyone has such an idea again, they will be packed up and taken away immediately. In my army, people who reason with beasts will not be tolerated. Don't talk to me."  All the veteran pilots who came from Northeast China know about humanitarian and international conventions. Why do our military forces do this? "

    Le Yiqin was blowing his beard, staring and talking enthusiastically, when the phone on the table rang rapidly.When the phone rang, he picked up the phone impatiently and asked angrily: "Who is it? I'm summarizing the battle, I'll call you if I need anything!" After saying that, he put down the phone.

    Tang Qiu was very happy, and said slowly: "Commander Le, you have such a big temper and strong momentum! Did you just win two battles and you don't know how to be?" Le Yiqin grinned and stood up straight in a hurry.  He lowered his voice by an octave and said, "It's the commander, what are your instructions?" While looking at the pilot below with a threatening look, that meant, don't speak!

    Tang Qiuli then said: "Two battles in one day, are you all tired?" Le Yiqin raised his voice, "Sir, if there is still another battle, these guys can still fight it if they don't sleep for three days and three nights."  The little devil¡¯s planes are flying all over the sky!¡±

    "Okay, I'll give you a mission. Your old rival Nomura is eyeing our fleet. He wants to send out bombers to fight. Your base will immediately establish contact with Commander Tang of the fleet. I can't tell you how to fight. I can't tell you.  Let's discuss it, how about we fight three times a day, and we must pay attention to the pilot's physical strength, and don't underestimate the enemy!" Tang Qiuli said the last sentence quite seriously.

    Le Yiqin was so happy that she couldn't help but shouted: "Yes! Master, resolutely complete the task and wipe out the last bit of wealth of this old devil Nomura. Please rest assured, Master, from today on, Hainan Island  The little devil¡¯s airport is nothing but grass!¡±

    Good guy, Le Yiqin's movements were like a wolf smelling blood. The leaders of the fighter regiments below heard it so seriously that they couldn't sit still anymore. They didn't care about the meeting rules and rushed to Le Yiqin.  Yiqin came forward and said in a flurry of words: "Commander, our regiment has finished resting. Can we leave this task to our regiment?" "Commander, our regiment happens to be on combat readiness duty. It will be launched soon. Let's hand it over to our regiment."  Are we in a group?"

    This posture almost killed Le Yiqin. These captains all knew that this was the last battle in Indochina. Going forward, it would be difficult to find the Little Japanese plane. Besides, even the Little Japanese fighter jets  No, those bombers with big bellies and heavy butts are just like stupid ducks. Where can I find such a good opportunity to hit a live target?

    Le Yiqin's head was rattled several times, and she even stared and threatened. Finally, she managed to get these militants back to their seats, and then said: "I know what you are thinking. This is the last battle, and I am afraid that I will not be able to win anything."  Fighting, right? I will assign a task now. All officers above the squadron commander will each bring a pilot newly assigned this year to participate in this battle. The old method is to dispatch three regiments of fighter jets south of Hainan Island.  In the airspace, intercept and kill the little Japanese bombers returning home. Don¡¯t be dissatisfied if you don¡¯t catch them. Show off your style. It¡¯s time to give the novices a chance to practice. That¡¯s it. Participants, get ready to take off immediately!¡±

    Seeing the photos brought back by the second batch of reconnaissance planes, Nomura was heartbroken. This China fleet really has an aircraft carrier. This is a thorny problem. He doesn't even have a fighter jet. If he rushes in, wouldn't he be a living target?  ?  If he really failed and returned home, he would commit suicide.

    Takahashi didn't think so. He said to Nomura: "Commander, although the enemy fleet consists of two aircraft carriers, the number of carrier-based aircraft will not exceed seventy. Moreover, according to the reconnaissance plane report, they came close to take pictures.  When we returned, we were not tracked at all, which means that the China fleet had no idea that we were going to launch a surprise attack on them."

    Takahashi breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Nomura Naorei was listening, he gave more and more guidance, "This achieves the suddenness of the start of the battle. Our more than 160 bombers can't deal with the 70 carrier-based aircraft.  Even if a small number of bombers break through the enemy's carrier-based aircraft interception, the impact on the China fleet will be immeasurable. "

    "Furthermore, it is already 5:40 in the afternoon, and the sun is beginning to turn west. Our bomber group can fly directly in the direction of the China Fleet. When it reaches about fifty nautical miles, it should fly due west. With the help of  The cover of the sun can once again achieve the purpose of concealed raid, and the chance of success will be great! "

    Not to mention, Takahashi has quite a lot of clever ideas. He knows how to take advantage of the cover of the setting sun and make full use of natural conditions. Nomura was completely convinced by the beautiful scene described by Takahashi. He stood up suddenly with a scary voice.  Said: "Order, all bombers take off immediately, led by reconnaissance aircraft to go into battle, the target is the Chinese fleet!"

    Nomura was like a gambler who had lost his money. Full of eagerness to make a comeback, he used the last bit of his wealth to use more than 160 bombers of the Air Force to attack the Japanese division fleet without fighter cover.  Carrying out a raid is a gamble destined to lose everything.

    "If Nomura knew that all his plans were under Tang Qiuli's control, and that the commander of the Navy Division Fleet Tang Qiuquan and the Navy Division's Southern Flying GroupThe regiment commander Le Yiqin and the two generals were afraid that he would not dare to come out and their plans would fail. I wonder if Commander Nomura still has the courage to take this big gamble?
