Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Liu Cuigang, who was stationed at the Qingdao ground air command, looked at the two telegrams he received one after another. One was from the Independent Division's Supreme Command, and the other was from the Cross-Sea Campaign Command. The contents of the two telegrams were completely different. Liu Cuigang read the telegrams.  After that, he smiled slightly, lit a cigarette, and smoked it happily.

    Chief of Staff Dong Ningxuan quit his job and said with grievances: "Commander, the division commander is too unkind. No matter how you say it, our aviation force killed the Kwantung Army Air Force and Kyushu Island in two days with consecutive battles and victories."  The Japanese Third Air Force must be given a commendation by the division commander, right? Now, why don¡¯t we give it a shot of cold water? Fleet Commander Tang¡¯s telegram fully affirms the performance of our air force, which is very exciting to watch!¡±

    Liu Cuigang glared at Dong Ningxuan and said, "Chief of Staff, if you feel aggrieved, I can give you some advice!"

    Dong Ningxuan looked at He Zhijun beside him and saw that he also had a curious look on his face, so he asked suspiciously: "Commander, do you have any suggestions? But we have agreed, don't dig a hole for me to jump in. What do you mean, I  He¡¯s also your chief of staff, isn¡¯t he?¡±

    Liu Cuigang said with a half-smile: "It's very simple. As the chief of staff of the Northern Aviation Group, take your thoughts and grievances directly to the division commander, and the division commander promises to give you a satisfactory answer. How about that?"

    Dong Ningxuan was startled, his face changed color, and he waved his hands repeatedly, "My commander, aren't you trying to trick me! Go directly to the division commander, why am I so impatient? You and Commander Le  With a status like an officer, I have the experience of serving as a staff officer to a division commander. When it¡¯s my turn, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t even be able to serve as a staff officer. Well, forget what I just said!¡±

    Liu Cuigang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You guys, you don't want to mention anything. If Commander Le is here, why don't you fall out on the spot? Come on, don't talk nonsense. The division commander also reminded our aviation force not to ignore the Japanese mainland.  There¡¯s movement in the direction, by the way, has the fleet transporting engineers and construction materials for preliminary repairs of Incheon Airport set off?¡±

    Dong Ningxuan said quickly: "According to your order. We have set off two hours ago. After the troops land in the direction of Incheon and occupy Incheon, the fleet will immediately dock and repair the airport runway. It is expected that in one day, we can  Incheon Airport, repair a runway for large transport aircraft to land, and then the transport aircraft force, which has been prepared, can land at Incheon Airport! "

    Liu Cuigang nodded.  Said: "Don't underestimate the significance of repairing Incheon Airport. With Incheon Airport in hand, no matter how many combat aircraft the Japanese army mobilizes from the mainland, we can easily handle it! Also, immediately order the Qingdao Navy and Air Force Base's first and  The 2nd Air Defense Brigade is fully equipped and ready to board the ship and head to the Korean Peninsula!"

    The troops of the Southeast Mobile Regiment of the Independent Division.  Before the landing battle has begun, Liu Cuigang is already considering the future construction and air defense issues of Incheon Airport. In a sense, Le Yiqin is an excellent air commander. He is full of wits and fierce in directing air battles.  .  More inclined towards military command.

    And Liu Cuigang has been thinking more since he was injured in Outer Mongolia, lost an arm and could no longer fly in the sky.  When it comes to the construction and logistics support of the aviation force, this unknowing change in roles may not be realized by either of them, but it will have an immeasurable impact on the future development of the aviation force!

    "Bang!" Major General Ma Chaoyang, the commander of the Southeast Mobile Corps on the command ship, slammed the table with excitement and said excitedly to the chief of staff, Colonel Xu Guangqi: "Chief of Staff, great, the aviation force did a great job, annihilated them all in one battle.  The Japanese Third Air Force, my landing force no longer has any worries, and I sent a telegram to Qingdao ground air commander Commander Liu. Well, I sent it like this. I, Ma Chaoyang, thanked my colleagues in the aviation force. After the landing campaign on the Korean Peninsula is over, I must report to the division commander,  Kudos to Commanders Le and Liu!"

    In complete contrast to the excitement of the generals of the Independent Division, General Tanaka Shinichi, the commander of Japan's Korean garrison, changed his expression immediately after receiving the bad news that the entire Third Air Force was annihilated in the airspace between Mokura and the mountains.  He was sallow, and he fell down on the chair with dull eyes, dumbly and without saying a word.

    Chief of Staff Major General Kamiya said worriedly: "Commander, all members of the Third Air Force have been destroyed. This has a direct impact on our battle plan to defend the line from Mokpo to Busan. We have lost air supremacy. Our soldiers will be completely defeated by the aviation force of the Independent Division."  Suppressed by air fire, the casualties will be inestimable. In addition, our total strength has been reduced by more than one-third. Such casualties are unbearable for the garrison! "

    "According to my judgment, Mokpo is a key attack area for the independent division's landing troops. Under their strong attack, the situation in Mokpo is critical! Commander, I humbly recommend that you immediately report the severe situation on the Korean Peninsula directly to His Majesty the Emperor and the base camp.  , no matter what, we need the Imperial Air Force??Support, otherwise, the Korean Peninsula will surely fall into the hands of that Chinese devil!  And the hundreds of thousands of soldiers stationed in the army were all crushed to pieces!  "

    Chief of Staff Kamiya's meaning is very clear. The 100,000 troops north of Inchon are completely doomed. If they are lucky, they may even run to Manchuria and follow the Kwantung Army's giant trees to avoid being divided by the independent division troops.  The fate of encirclement and annihilation is that their ancestral graves are smoking, Amaterasu and His Majesty the Emperor bless them!

    Most of the remaining troops of the garrison are concentrated on the line from Mokpo to Busan, executing General Tanaka's campaign plan to secure the southernmost bridgehead of the Korean Peninsula. However, the prerequisite is that they must have control of the air, or in other words, partial air control.  , Only then can we take advantage of the complex and changeable terrain conditions of the Korean Peninsula to fight on the ground with the independent division landing troops until the arrival of local reinforcements.

    And having lost air superiority, the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed in the garrison, crowded in a narrow area from Mokpo to Busan, exposed on the ground, can they withstand several rounds of indiscriminate bombing by the independent division aviation?  To be honest, Chief of Staff Kamiya was unsure. Judging from the ferocity with which the Independence Division aviation bombed airports across the Korean Peninsula, it was not too difficult to use bombs to blow up hundreds of thousands of garrison troops to pieces!

    The war situation on the Korean Peninsula is no longer something that the garrison army alone can bear. As far as the current situation is concerned, although a large-scale landing battle has not yet started, the imperial Korean garrison army is at a comprehensive disadvantage. Therefore, he suggested to General Tanaka  , call the base camp for help and seek help from His Majesty the Emperor!

    General Tanaka seemed to be awakened from the nightmare of the annihilation of the Third Air Force by the words of his chief of staff, and said in a somewhat lost voice: "Kamiya-kun, according to your opinion, immediately send a telegram to the base camp and His Majesty the Emperor.  Use the emergency code. In addition, inform Mokpo Defense Commander Ono-kun of the broken pieces of the entire Third Air Force, and tell him that he must defend Mokpo, even to the last man!"

    "At the same time, order the local garrison troops on the front lines of Incheon and Gunsan, as well as the Imperial Brave Corps, that when the time comes for them to devote themselves to the Empire of Japan, they must use all means to severely damage the independent division landing troops in Incheon and Gunsan and make them  We are unable to go south and attack the line from Mokpo to Busan. Remember, Mr. Kamiya, I am saying no matter what the means!"

    When he said these words, General Tanaka's eyes turned red and glowed coldly, like a hungry wolf that was driven to a dead end after being injured. His tone was so sinister and terrifying that Chief of Staff Kamiya couldn't help but shudder when he heard it.  , he understood too well what the commander meant by resorting to any means, "I'm afraid that in a few days, not a single imperial immigrant on the Korean Peninsula will be left alive!" He lamented in his heart.

    Not only the two generals of the Japanese and Korean Garrison, Shinichi Tanaka, were panicking, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, General Nanjiro, was even more distressed. The remaining combat aircraft of the Kwantung Army Air Force, together with the commander, Major General Haneda, were in Fengtian.  In the airspace to the south, after all the members were shattered, it meant that all the assets of the Kwantung Army Air Force were gone. General Nanjiro knew that from then on, the sky above Manchuria would be dominated by the independent division aviation.

    Of course, General Nanjiro was unwilling to lose air supremacy. Without the empire's fighter planes, the Kwantung Army troops would be unilaterally massacred by the independent division aviation. However, he did not ask for help from the base camp, but instead asked for help from the Eastern Command troops of the independent division in the Far East.  The commander-in-chief of the Far East Campaign, Prince Zaihi, is asking for help as the fierce battle rages on. Although General Nanjiro is absolutely unwilling to deal with this insidious and cunning, ruthless and experienced prince.

    But the battle situation is like this. The main force of the Kwantung Army is restrained by the three field regiments of the Independent Division and is unable to move at all. The defense forces on the Liaodong Peninsula are weak. How many days can they last without air fire support?

    In order to prevent Manchuria from falling, General Nanjiro had to deal with Prince Zairen, whom he hated. He knew that before deciding to return to the Far East, Prince Zairen used his status as chief of general staff of the base camp to transfer an Army Air Forces officer from the mainland.  Moreover, it is a first-class reinforced aviation force. General Nanjiro's requirements are not high. He only hopes that Prince Zairen will be transferred to the Kwantung Army to suppress the independent division aviation bombers to the greatest extent against the defenders of the Liaodong Peninsula.  Bombing fighter force.

    However, General Nanjiro was disappointed. In his reply to him, Prince Zain did not explicitly reject his request. He also said very reasonable words, "Manchuria and the Far East are originally one. If Manchuria is at fault, then  The Far East is in danger!¡±

    The next step is to emphasize the difficulties currently faced by the Far East Expeditionary Force, especially the Far East Expeditionary Force Air Force. Its opponents are the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division Aviation Force and the troops in the Outer Mongolia cruising area. Although in repeated air battles, the Far East Expeditionary Force  The air force had a slight advantage, but that was about it.

    We really can¡¯t spare more fighter jets to support the border.The Kwantung Army will do its best, and Prince Zai Ren promised to mobilize two fighter brigades to the Kwantung Army.
