    Since the Japanese combat aircraft of an aviation team were deployed on the Northeast battlefield, the information intercepted by ground radar stations and the air conditions discovered every day can be described as massive. The establishment of the Japanese Army Aviation, an aviation team, has two to three subordinates.  Each of the United Air Forces has five to six fighter wings or bomber wings. Calculated in this way, an aviation team of the Japanese Army Air Force has at least more than a thousand combat aircraft of various types.  .

    Within two days, these Japanese combat aircraft arrived at various field airports in Northeast China from mainland Japan, and were concentrated in the Liaoxi Corridor, Western Manchuria and various field airports around Fengtian. Most of them were in formations with hundreds of fighter jets.  The large fleet of aircraft took off frequently, and they were looking for a decisive battle with the main force of the independent division's aviation force.

    Therefore, in the past two days, the aviation force has been deployed in the Korean Peninsula, Shandong Peninsula, Bohai Bay, and the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula. Hundreds of fixed or mobile ground radar stations have been busy. They are turned on 24 hours a day, and the officers on duty cannot move.  They continued to conduct round-the-clock, uninterrupted surveillance of Japanese military field airports, and thousands of pieces of intelligence were reported to the Joint Air Command Staff every day.

    This intelligence is collected into the Joint Air Command Staff, and then organized one by one by professional intelligence analysts in order to find out the activity patterns and scope of the Japanese military aircraft fleet and formulate corresponding tactics. Finally, after the intelligence is classified and sorted, it is  The two chiefs of staff, He Zhijun and Dong Ningxuan, reported to Liu Cuigang and Le Yiqin, mainly to Liu Cuigang.  Le Yiqin didn't have that much patience and took the trouble to read the file that was several feet high.

    Now, in the airspace of Liaodong Peninsula.  The independent division aviation took the approach of avoiding the war, and the newly formed Kwantung Army's First Aviation Group, although it repeatedly dispatched large groups of aircraft to provoke, did not dare to go too deep into the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Pingjin area of ????the Bohai Bay, attacking from the Japanese mainland.  The transferred fighter wings have never fought against the independent division aviation.  But the Japanese pilots all know that Pingjin and even the Shandong Peninsula are the home base of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division.

    That commander Liu Cuigang.  He is not a character that is easy to mess with. He has killed several United Air Forces in the empire. Besides, the strength of the independent division Northern Flying Group is also there.  Not necessarily worse than the Kwantung Army's First Aviation Team.  Therefore, the Japanese air formation commander has a certain standard and does not go deep into the combat radius of the opponent's fighter jets. Of course, the best air combat battlefield is in the airspace around the central Liaodong Peninsula, where the takeoff radius of one's own combat aircraft is small.

    Incheon Airport.  Independent Division Aviation Joint Air Command, in a large office.  On the table was a thick stack of document bags. Le Yiqin looked at what He Zhijun had just sent over, sighed and said: "Cui Gang, what do you think this little devil is doing messing around with his plane all day long? He can't move at all.  Hundreds of fighter jets were dispatched, but they didn¡¯t dare to go too deep, so they just hung around Fengtian!¡±

    "I see, these new little Japanese pilots have only a little courage, novices who have never seen blood, and only a little bit of spirit. If you hadn't been prepared to do something big and think about a battle,  Destroy this Kwantung Army's first aviation team, I will bring the price fighter group to fight, and I won't beat the shit out of the little devil!"

    Le Yiqin muttered, that is, in front of Liu Cuigang, he spoke freely. Liu Cuigang smiled, immersed himself in reading the information carefully, and said without raising his head: "Look at the division commander's deployment, we will regain the Northeast."  The battle will soon begin in full force. The addition of the Kwantung Army's First Air Force will be detrimental to our control of the air superiority in the Northeast. We do not have much time to work piecemeal. When we first engage in the battle, we will show the enemy that we are weak, and we are called humble and arrogant in the art of war.  "Yiqin, don't you understand?"

    Le Yiqin curled her lips, "Come on, don't miss me Huh? What are you guys messing around with in the middle of the night? Eight transport planes took off from Harbin and landed at Fengtian Japanese Field Airport, and then  , and did not return!" He was suddenly surprised and said with a piece of information.

    "Oh!" Liu Cuigang raised his head, reached out to take the information, and read it carefully, with a thoughtful look in his eyes. This information was indeed a bit weird. After nightfall, all Japanese troops within the surveillance range of the ground radar station  There are no combat aircraft operating at the airport. Only eight Japanese transport planes flew in from the direction of Harbin. Isn't it weird?

    Although he was confused, Liu Cuigang could not know the real purpose of these eight Japanese transport planes flying from Harbin to Fengtian at night, so he said: "According to the battle situation report from the division command and staff office, during the day today, the Japanese troops were on the line from Zhuanghe to Bayuquan.  The attack has been completely frustrated, but there is no sign of retreat. I judge that there may be a big battle tomorrow, both on the ground and in the air! "

    Le Yiqin laughed, "I like to hear this, but I'm afraid that these new little devils won't show up. Cui Gang, you have spent all your wealth, including North China, Shandong Peninsula and Liaodong Peninsula."  and IncheonThe fighter jets at the local airport are all on standby at any time. Good guy, there are nearly 1,800 fighter jets, enough for a little devil to drink!  "

    Liu Cuigang smiled and said: "Concentrating superior forces to fight a war of annihilation is the combat principle that division commanders have always advocated. If you want to complete a battle, how can you do it without superior strength? I will take care of things on the ground. But in the sky, it is  Old man, your world is over!"

    Le Yiqin made a gesture, "Don't be afraid of too much. We have a big appetite. We can eat as much as we want. Anything less will not be enough!"

    Night shrouds the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula. From Zhuanghe to Bayuquan blocking line, the smoke of war during the day has completely dissipated. The four brigades of the Marine Corps of the Independent Division and the three brigades of the 29th Corps are serious about ending today.  The Japanese troops retreating across the entire front were very quiet and did not launch attacks at night. In accordance with the orders of the division commander, the independent division troops did not take the initiative to attack.

    The battlefield was crowded with nearly 300,000 people on both sides, including one division of the Japanese Third Army and two detachments of the Kwantung Army, and seven field brigades of the Independent Division. It was extraordinarily calm tonight, and one could even hear the sounds of frogs in the depressions and ponds in the forest.  The chirping, the chirping of insects.

    But at the Japanese field airports in the surrounding areas of Fengtian, it was a different scene. Dozens of trucks distributed the No. 1 poison gas bombs from eight transport planes to various field airports. Then, the Japanese ground crews followed the orders from above.  , installed poison gas bombs on more than 200 bombers. Not only the busy Japanese ground crews did not know what they were installing overnight, but even the Japanese bomber pilots did not know what bombs were installed on their planes.  ?

    Lieutenant General Matian, commander of the Kwantung Army's First Air Force, was sitting on the control tower of Fengtian Nanguan's largest field airport. Looking at the brightly lit and busy airport, he felt very excited. He was the third person to know that there were more than two hundred bombers.  What a powerful thing!

    Like all senior Japanese generals, Lieutenant General Asada has no mental burden about using large-scale anti-personnel gas bombs on the battlefield. As long as the Imperial Japanese Army achieves continuous victories, this is enough. As for the means, it is nothing more than  It is to achieve the goal. War is to defeat the enemy by various means!

    There were constant calls and telegrams sent to Lieutenant General Asada from various field airports, reporting on the progress of installing special bombs. At about one o'clock in the morning, the last telegram arrived, announcing that more than 200 bombers had been installed.  Complete special bomb.

    Lieutenant General Asada breathed a sigh of relief, came to the office, and asked for a confidential phone call, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief, this is Asada. All 235 bombers have been equipped with No. 1 special warfare bombs. They can follow the scheduled plan.  "At dawn, bomb the independent division's blocking positions and deep areas. Do you have any other orders?"

    General Yoshijiro Umezu, the commander-in-chief of the Kwantung Army, who had kicked all the staff out and stayed alone in his office, received a call from Lieutenant General Asada. A cold light flashed in his eyes and he said: "Asada-kun, today's battle at dawn will end.  It is very important, involving the life and death of hundreds of thousands of Imperial soldiers of the Third Army and the Kwantung Army, and the actions of Asada-kun's aviation team are the most critical link, which determines the success or failure of this attack. Asada-kun, your deployment is sufficient.  "Strict?"

    Lieutenant General Matian said confidently: "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured that all 980 or so fighter jets of the First Air Force have taken off to form an in-depth escort from the central part of the Liaodong Peninsula to Lushunkou in the south. Three of them are performing bombing missions."  All pilots in the bomber wing have been ordered to crash in the predetermined bombing area even if their own planes are shot down!"

    For some reason, General Umezu Yoshijiro suddenly felt nervous. He heard Lieutenant General Asada's extremely confident tone. The large-scale bombing of Dawn's No. 1 poison gas bomb was too critical. It was related to whether the ground troops could break through the independence today.  The division's blocking line, the entire First Air Force was dispatched, and it was also the last trump card in his hand. If he failed, he didn't even know what to do next!

    This all-or-nothing approach made General Umezu very uncomfortable, so he reminded: "Asada-kun, the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division Aviation Force is the biggest obstacle to this bombing operation, and its strength cannot be underestimated. Regarding this, I hope Asada  You must be prepared and do not underestimate the enemy. After all, our pilots have been in the mainland before and have no overseas combat experience and have not experienced large-scale air battles. This is a weakness! "

    Hearing General Umezu's words, Lieutenant General Asada on the other end of the phone couldn't help but frown, feeling very dissatisfied. He felt slighted, but he didn't show it, "Commander-in-Chief, please rest assured, the Imperial Air Warrior is His Majesty the Emperor."  , The spirit of sacrifice for the Japanese Empire and rigorous training can make up for this shortcoming!" He said in a calm tone, and then hung up the phone before General Umezu could say anything.
