    Following Major General Akitsu's call, a major staff officer knocked on the door and came in. He said respectfully: "Your Excellency, Commander, what are your orders?"

    Akitsu said with some helplessness: "Call back to Commander Yamada of Manchukuo's Bohai Cruise Fleet. Our air force will immediately dispatch a fighter group to support the battle of his fleet. Please hold on until the arrival of the fleet!"

    "Also, convey my order, the 1st to 5th Fighter Wings, attack immediately, rush to the warring sea area, and support the Bohai Sea Cruise Fleet!"

    The staff officer repeated the order and then left in a hurry. Major General Akitsu was a little upset. The Third Air Force only had seven fighter wings in total. He sent out five of them at once, which was almost his entire family, in case something went wrong.  , I am afraid that the designation of the Third Air Force will not be preserved, and the Kwantung Army Headquarters will have to accuse itself of being disadvantageous in combat. From the bottom of my heart, Major General Akijin has no confidence in the fight against Liu Cuigang's Northern Flying Group.

    After several years of tug-of-war and constant skirmishes, it was the Third Air Force that suffered the loss. Moreover, Major General Akitsu instinctively felt that Liu Cuigang's appetite was not only for a small Bohai cruise fleet, but also for Yamada.  The little money this guy has is not worth Liu Cuigang's big fight. Good guy, three bomber regiments, two fighter regiments, and more than 300 aircraft, just for Yamada's dozen broken warships, I don't believe it.

    It must be a trap. Although Major General Akitsu realized that it might be Liu Cuigang's conspiracy, he had to dispatch fighter jets. If he stood still and Yamada's fleet was completely annihilated, he would definitely not be able to escape from it. After all, in terms of organization sequence, Manchukuo  Bohai cruise fleet.  If something goes wrong in the battle order of the Kwantung Army, in order to give a satisfactory explanation to the navy, the headquarters is very likely to use itself as a scapegoat.

    Therefore, knowing that there is a conspiracy, but having to dispatch fighter jets, this is what Rear Admiral Akitsu is most troubled about. At the same time, he has to deal with Colonel Shinohonori Yamada, who is a typical settler and restless man in the navy.  My heart was filled with disgust, and when this battle started, my heart was in a state of anxiety.

    The five fighter wings of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army took off from Wafangdian, Shilibu and Hengdaohe Airport respectively. The flight trajectories.  Immediately exposed to the radar screens of more than a dozen ground radar stations of the Northern Aviation Group, including altitude, speed, heading, sorties, batches and other information.  Immediately summarize it to the Jinzhou ground air control room.  And quickly reported it to the commander of the flight group Liu Cuigang.

    Liu Cuigang, who was sitting in the fighter plane, breathed a huge sigh of relief. The Kwantung Army's Third Air Force finally showed up. It can be said that Liu Cuigang had put a lot of effort into this battle.  First, he was troubled by the weather problem, which almost annoyed Lieutenant Colonel Xu Qingya, director of the Meteorological Department. Finally, the clouds cleared and the fog cleared, and he was worried that the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army would not take the bait.  The carefully prepared battle came to nothing, and he felt a little tired between worrying about gains and losses.

    It's okay now. Everything is going according to the original plan. As long as the Japs' fighter jets show up, there is no reason to run back. That Qiujin can't even think about not fighting. Liu Cuigang ordered: "Air finger, convey to the first echelon mixed fleet,  My order is, in thirty minutes, carry out a devastating attack on the Japanese fleet, do not let go of a Japanese warship, and return immediately after the attack is over!"

    The straight-line distance in Liaodong Bay is not too wide. The high-speed flying fighter jets are flying towards each other. It will take less than thirty minutes to meet in the airspace of Liaodong Bay. And thirty minutes is enough time for the first-echelon mixed fleet to kill the little devil.  The fleet returned safely.

    After giving the order, Liu Cuigang reached out to cover the canopy and asked for instructions: "Aerial finger, the second echelon is ready, can we take off?"

    The ground commander replied: "No. 1, you can take off!"

    Liu Cuigang pushed the control stick hard, and the fighter plane roared, slid onto the runway, accelerated quickly, pulled the nose of the plane, and shot straight into the sky. His wingman followed closely behind, and then, a group of two-plane formations,  They rushed into the sky one after another. At the same time, several other field airports and flying groups participating in the battle also quickly took off. After meeting in the Huludao airspace, they faced the Kwantung Army's Third Air Force and a fleet of five fighter wings.  Fly straight over.

    In Jinzhou, in the war room of the East Point Headquarters, Tang Qiuli and Liu Tiehan looked very relaxed. They were drinking tea and chatting. The framework deployment of the campaign to regain the Northeast has been basically completed. Originally, according to the original plan, today  In the morning, Tang Qiuli was going to fly to Kulun in Outer Mongolia. However, in order to allow Liu Cuigang to fight this battle freely, the departure was postponed for one day.

    Liu Tiehan looked at Tang Qiuli and said with a smile: "Commander, Liu Cui has been holding back for several years and finally seized this opportunity. He must have fought hard, okay? Eight fighter regiments, more than 500 fighter jets, almost  We went out in full force and spent a lot of money. You don¡¯t know. ThisDude, you usually bully me. I originally wanted to give him a chance after asking the teacher for instructions, but this is good. As soon as you come, you give away the favor, hahaha!  "

    As he spoke, Liu Tiehan burst into laughter, and Tang Qiuli was also happy, and replied: "Brother Tiehan, don't you blame me for taking away your opportunity to send favors? Don't worry, as soon as the battle to regain the Northeast begins, you will have a lot of money."  The favor can be given away. I am afraid that Liu Cuigang will be busy complaining when the time comes. It would be strange not to call you Liu Hell King behind his back. Back then, when he was in Indochina, Le Yiqin was like this too. These two people have too many similarities.  He is simply the second general of the aviation force!"

    Liu Tiehan laughed and was about to joke a few more words when a staff officer came in and said, "Report to the division commander and deputy division commander. We have received a report from the Jinzhou Air Command of the Northern Aviation Group. Five minutes ago, the group commander Major General Liu Cuigang commanded the second echelon fighter group.  , has taken off. In addition, we received a report from the ground radar station that five fighter groups, numbering more than 300, took off from the Wafangdian, Shilibao, and Hengdaohe Airports of the Third Air Force of the Kwantung Army on the Liaodong Peninsula! "

    "Okay!" Liu Tiehan slapped the armrest of the sofa and shouted loudly, "Liu Cuigang met the enemy with superior strength and used a bull's-eye to kill a chicken. He has mastered the division commander's ability to command operations. This battle will yield great gains, which is foreseeable!" He added  road.

    At this time, on the sea of ??Liaodong Bay, Colonel Lin Zhixian, the air commander of the Northern Flying Group's First Mixed Aircraft Group, received the order from the air command, and immediately felt as relaxed as if a curse had been removed. His body was covered with air, and more than 300 fighter jets.  and bombers, taking their time and attacking the little Japanese fleet piecemeal, which is almost annoying to death.

    Lin Zhixian immediately ordered: "All bomber formations, immediately attack the remaining Japanese warships, end the battle within twenty minutes, and then return!"

    It's pitiful to say that Colonel Yamada Shinohonori's fleet now only has four warships left, and the remaining eleven have been killed by the haunting and persistent Japanese bombers. In fact, Colonel Yamada doesn't know it yet.  , if it were not for the purpose of fishing out the fighter group of the Third Air Force, with the fleet commander's flag hanging on the "True Dragon", the opportunity would be blown into pieces that could not be broken into pieces in the first time.

    However, Colonel Yamada's good luck ended here, because he was horrified to see more than thirty Japanese bombers and more than a dozen fighter jets rushing towards him, their wings almost covering the sky above the warship.  sunshine.

    Then, a black bomb shrieked and fell from the sky. It quickly magnified in front of Yamada's eyes. After several loud noises, the evil "True Dragon" flagship was like a huge giant in the thick smoke and fire.  Fireworks exploded, and the fire detonated the ammunition in the cabin. There was a loud "bang" and the hull was broken into two parts. Colonel Yamada didn't even have time to leave his last words, and turned into a pile of ashes in the vast waves of Liaodong Bay.  .

    In less than twenty minutes, the remaining four Japanese warships disappeared on the sea. The Japanese sailors and officers on the warships did not even have a chance to release the lifeboats. Lin Zhixian whistled contentedly and ordered: "Everyone.  Return!" Then, he added, "Tonight, I will be the host and treat the brothers to a drink!"

    After saying that, Lin Zhixian regretted, "Oh my god, there must be a thousand people including the bomber crew members and fighter pilots. After one meal, I am afraid that he will become the first person in the Northern Flying Group because of  Treating guests would make him the leader of a pauper group. He had no choice but to say anything out loud, and his spit would be a nail in the coffin. There was no way he could go back on his word, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

    Lin Zhixian prayed secretly, hoping that ordinary pilots would consider their own weight and take the initiative to ask not to participate. He could still afford a few regiment commanders and a dozen captain-level officers, otherwise, the remaining  In the next few months, I really need to tighten my belt!

    Of course Liu Cuigang didn't know that his number one general, Lin Zhixian, secretly regretted his words. After receiving Lin Zhixian's report, Liu Cuigang was completely relieved. Once the bombers returned, they would have no worries and the second echelon could be released.  A violent fight with hands and feet.

    On the screen of Liu Cuigang's airborne radar, the little black dots were beating closer and closer, approaching the distance of aerial combat.

    He ordered: "The third and fourth regiments are the left wing, and the fifth and sixth regiments are the right wing. Climb to a higher altitude, covertly engage the enemy from both wings, and encircle the Little Japanese fighter group. The seventh to tenth regiments follow me to attack the enemy frontally.  The enemy's fleet, let go of the fight. First disrupt the enemy's air formation, then divide and surround them. Fight hard. Don't let even one of the enemy's fighter jets escape. Start attacking!"

    After giving the order, Liu Cuigang pushed the accelerator sharply, and the fighter planes trembled and roared. Like arrows from their strings, they plunged straight into the Japanese fighter group. His wingman followed closely behind. The commander's brave actions,  All the pilots who participated in the battle were shocked
