    Finally received an order from Lieutenant General Suzuki, commander of the 40th Division, "Following the order of the Australian Army Command, your department immediately reinforces Adelaide and uses the landing China Independent Division troops as the bombing target.  And assist our division¡¯s troops to retake Adelaide!¡±

    General Honda, the commander of the 19th Japanese Air Force stationed in Australia, felt excited. The previous complaints and anxiety suddenly disappeared. He was not interested in the current fate of the 39th Division stationed in Adelaide.  My son, what he is most concerned about is the safety of his friend and classmate Major General Noguchi. The Chinese troops have landed in Adelaide. The life and death of Noguchi-kun, the polished commander, is uncertain!

    Major General Noguchi's Seventeenth Air Force was almost completely wiped out. General Honda was even more anxious than Noguchi himself. He immediately issued an order for all combat aircraft to take off immediately, and General Honda personally went into battle.  Fly a Zero fighter and act as a mixed air formation commander.  &{}{}

    Before taking off, General Japan sent a telegram to Major General Noguchi, "Noguchi, in accordance with the order of the Australian Army Command, I will personally lead the entire 19th Air Force to assist Adelaide.  Noguchi-kun is at Berry Field Airport, and our 19th Air Force combat aircraft are providing landing and logistical support!¡±

    Facing the setting sun in the west, General Ben commanded an air formation composed of hundreds of fighter jets and bombers, rushing toward Adelaide with murderous intent.

    The Chagos Islands in the Eastern Indian Ocean, the Independent Division Navy and Air Force Base, Colonel Wu Zhenjiang, commander of the Eastern Indian Ocean Cruise Area of ??the Southern Flying Group.  The first echelon under command had just landed less than thirty minutes before that.  The second echelon had already flown to the Adelaide battlefield in southern Australia, and the two air formations passed each other over the eastern Indian Ocean.

    As soon as Wu Zhenjiang entered the control tower, the communications staff handed him a telegram, which was sent by the Australian Campaign Command. The content included the entire Japanese 19th Air Force and most of the 21st Air Force.  Already reinforced intelligence on the Adelaide battlefield, with operational requirements for troops in the East Indian Ocean Cruising Area.

    After reading the telegram, Wu Zhenjiang frowned slightly.  After thinking for a moment, he issued an order to the combat staff: "Immediately follow my order. All fighters in the first echelon that have returned must immediately replenish fuel and ammunition. Thirty minutes later, the first batch of fighter jets that have replenished fuel and ammunition will  Take off again and join the Adelaide Battlespace!¡±

    "By analogy, after replenishing a batch of fuel and ammunition, the fighter jets will form an air formation and take off immediately! In addition, I will report my decision to the Australian Campaign Command!"

    Wu Zhenjiang knows very well how much capital he has in his hands.  The second echelon fighter group, plus the escort fleet carrier-based aircraft group on the Adelaide Sea.  When facing off against the entire 19th Air Force and most of the 21st Air Force of the Japanese Army, the number of fighter jets did not hold an advantage. The biggest problem with our own fleet was that after a long flight, although there were auxiliary fuel tanks, the internal fuel tanks were not available.  The fuel is still not enough to provide sufficient flight time.

    In particular, the Australian Campaign Command emphasized that the Japanese 21st Air Force fleet that was reinforcing the Adelaide battlefield must not return to Melbourne. That is an air battle that must be completely annihilated. The current number of fighter jets is far from enough.  , therefore, the first echelon fighter group that has just returned must take off again, and there is no way around the hard work!

    "Well, if there were a few field airports of their own in Adelaide or any other area in southern Australia, all difficulties would be solved. Why should we be afraid of the kid's 21st Air Force? It can kill the kid.  Make a fool of yourself!" Wu Zhenjiang thought with great hope as he took the time to eat.

    The afterglow of the setting sun has filled the western sky. In downtown Adelaide, inside the landing force headquarters, a military meeting has just concluded. The content of the meeting revolved around the "encirclement and reinforcement" tactics proposed by Yu Guanghan.  , with the operational plan of annihilating the reinforced Japanese 40th Division on the west bank of the Lachlan River.

    The meeting lasted only a short time, and Battelle was not a person who liked to talk nonsense. Prior to this, he was already familiar with the combat plan, so he directly deployed his troops, mainly the directly affiliated corps, and dispatched five mechanized infantry brigades.  Two armored brigades and two artillery brigades set up an ambush on the west bank of the Lachlan River. The troops set off overnight and rushed to the ambush area in advance. The ambush troops were commanded by Yu Guanghan, chief of staff of the Southeast Mobile Corps.

    Just after the meeting ended, the communications staff hurried in, "Reporting to the commander, the two chiefs of staff received a report from the fleet radar. A mixed Japanese fleet consisted of about 130 bombers and 280 fighter jets.  Composition, approaching Adelaide at high speed from the northeast! It is expected to arrive in Adelaide airspace in thirty minutes!¡±

    "The one who came must be the Japanese army's No. 1The 9th Air Force is really fast!  Battle frowned and said, "Chief of Staff Yu, ordered all troops to stop activities immediately and enter air defense mode. Chief of Staff Xin, ordered the escort fleet to also enter air defense mode!"  "

    "When will our second-tier aircraft fleet arrive in Adelaide airspace?" Xin Xiguo asked the communications staff officer.

    "Reporting to Chief of Staff Xin will take about forty minutes at the fastest!" the communications staff officer replied succinctly.

    "Huh?"

    "Commander Ba, Guanghan, I have an emergency plan!" Xin Xiguo said with seeming determination.

    "Chief of Staff Xin, your solution is to let the carrier-based fighter group withstand the Japanese 19th Air Force fleet for ten minutes first? Buy time for the arrival of the second echelon!" Battle immediately understood Xin  Xiguo¡¯s thoughts.

    But Battelle hesitated. The number of carrier-based fighter jets in the escort fleet was less than 100, which was three to one compared with the number of Japanese fighter jets. Air combat was different from the ground battlefield. The victory was almost decided within ten minutes.

    "Yes, that's what I mean!" Xin Xiguo said calmly, and then urged, "Commander, don't hesitate!"

    "Okay!" Battle gritted his teeth and agreed. He knew clearly that hundreds of Japanese combat aircraft were approaching Adelaide, leaving him little time to weigh. According to the original plan, the second echelon of the East India Cruise Area  The fighter group, after the first echelon of aircraft returned, immediately rushed to the Adelaide airspace in order to deal with the Japanese 19th Air Force. According to careful calculations, it was completely possible to get ahead of the Japanese army!

    However, the Japanese 19th Air Force fleet has arrived so quickly, completely disrupting the planned deployment. The carrier-based fighter group can only fight first. On the ever-changing battlefield, there are many unexpected situations. Battle  Yu Guanghan and Xin Xiguo did not expect that the commander of the Japanese Nineteenth Air Force, General Honda, would be eager to support their old friend and classmate Major General Noguchi.

    After receiving a telegram from Major General Noguchi requesting assistance, and under the order of Commander General Honda, the Japanese Nineteenth Air Force was on standby to take off, just waiting for an order.

    "Commander, the two chiefs of staff have received a telegram from Commander Wu Zhenjiang of the East Indian Ocean Cruise Area!" A communications staff officer quickly came in to report.

    After reading the telegram, Xin Xiguo laughed and said: "Wu Zhenjiang is indeed a worry-free commander. He is so good. He is absolutely sure to fight against the two Japanese air groups. Commander, Guanghan, I'll go  Command the carrier-based fighter group and fight with the little devil¡¯s mixed fleet for a while!¡±

    Xin Xiguo hurried out. After thinking about it, Battelle picked up the phone and called the brigade headquarters of the First Brigade of the Corps directly under the corps. He went directly to the brigade commander Liu Hongzhang and said, "Commander Liu, I am Battelle. I have an important task to hand now."  Here you go, order the reconnaissance battalion of your first brigade to set off immediately and rush to Berry, northeast of Adelaide. Get in touch with Zhu Guozhong, the leader of the fourth group of the special operations detachment that infiltrated into South Australia, and jointly seize the Japanese Berry Airport.  !¡±

    "Is there enough strength for one reconnaissance battalion? Commander, how about I send a regiment up?" When he heard that there was a battle, Liu Hongzhang's eyes suddenly lit up. During the attack on Adelaide, the first brigade did not  Without exerting any effort, the little devil was doomed, "Do you have to use a knife to kill a chicken? I will personally direct it!" At the end, he added.

    Battle was very angry. This Liu Hongzhang knew before that he would go crazy when he heard about war. Now, as expected, he had to fight a secret battle to seize the Berry battlefield and command it personally.

    "Brigadier Liu, you don't need so many troops. One reconnaissance battalion is enough. Besides, we are not going to capture Berry with great fanfare. What needs to be emphasized is that your reconnaissance battalion must obey Zhu Guozhong's command!" Battelle said seriously.  said.

    In the dim dusk, the reconnaissance battalion of the 1st Brigade of the Directly Affiliated Corps quickly left Adelaide in a vehicle and sped away towards Berry in the east.

    The mixed fleet of the Japanese Nineteenth Air Force will soon approach the sky above the city of Adelaide. General Ben knows that Adelaide has now fallen into the hands of the China Independent Division, which is now stationed in the city.  The people inside should all be Chinese soldiers, so let these Chinese soldiers taste death!

    General Ben smiled grimly and gave the order: "The fighter formation immediately climbed to altitude and was on alert, and the bomber formation carried out a comprehensive and indiscriminate bombing of the city of Adelaide!"

    "The city, which fell into the hands of the Chinese soldiers, along with the Chinese soldiers, was reduced to ruins and littered with?Rubbles, while destroying the city, also killing the landing Chinese troops, this is General Ben's plan. As for the civilians in the city, it is not within the scope of his consideration at all.

    "Perhaps, before the 40th Division reaches Adelaide, my air force has regained the lost city!" General Ben was eager to try.
