Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Regarding the plan for this battle, Lieutenant General Liu Cuigang, commander of the Northern Flying Group of the Independent Division Aviation Force, has a huge appetite. His purpose is to wipe out all the Japanese air forces in the northwest of Japan's Honshu Island and the northern part of Kyushu Island.  ¡÷

    Hearing this, Admiral Amosiyev, commander of the Northern Fleet of the Independent Division, couldn't help being frightened. He reminded: "Commander Liu, within the scope of the battle, the Japanese aviation force will not be weaker than the northern aviation force."  Group, this battle is a bit difficult to fight!¡±

    Liu Cuigang smiled slightly and said: "Indeed, the number of combat aircraft of several Japanese aviation groups and a recruitment flying group is about 1,200. This requires the cooperation of the Northern Fleet to maximize our military advantage.  maximize!"

    "Oh!" Amosyev shrugged. He did not think that the Northern Fleet without aircraft carriers would play a key role in a large-scale air battle, so he asked: "  How do you need our Northern Fleet to cooperate with you?"

    "Bait!" Liu Cuigang spat out two words.

    "Bait? Amosiyev asked in confusion.

    "Yes, it's a bait!" Liu Cuigang further explained: "My plan is to have all the Northern Fleet assemble and march westward from the Vladivostok base. The formation will pass through the northern channel of Tsushima Island in the Korean Strait. The action will definitely be blocked by Tsushima Island.  The Japanese ground radar station discovered it. Think about it, will the Japanese commander have a great interest in the Northern Fleet? "

    Everyone immediately understood that when the Northern Fleet appeared in the Korean Strait, the Japanese command headquarters in the northwest of Honshu Island and the northern part of Kyushu Island would definitely not miss the great opportunity to annihilate the Northern Fleet.  With all naval forces lost, dispatching a large number of fighter jets and bombers is an inevitable move.  In this way, Liu Cuigang created a fighter plane.

    But this is a decoy plan.  It is too bold and risky. The Northern Fleet will inevitably withstand air attacks from a large Japanese fleet. Although the fleet has strong air defense capabilities, in an air-sea battle, the Northern Fleet without aircraft carriers will definitely be at a disadvantage and suffer losses.  It's inevitable.

    Amosyev was silent, and Colonel Tang Yunfei, chief of staff of the Northern Fleet, stated this concern frankly.  "Commander Liu, the core of the entire plan is the decoy role of our Northern Fleet. However, the northern channel of the Korean Strait is very close to the Japanese mainland Honshu Island and Kyushu Island. The Japanese military aircraft group has a geographical advantage in attacking. How to avoid  Loss of the Northern Fleet?"

    Liu Cuigang glanced at Tang Yunfei appreciatively and replied: "The questions raised by Chief of Staff Tang were already taken into consideration when I was conceiving the combat plan. Since the target of the Japanese fleet's attack is the Northern Fleet, it is impossible for the dispatched combat aircraft to  All are fighters, and bombers account for at least one-third or one-fourth. In other words, the number of fighter planes that the Japanese army may dispatch is at most 800 to 900. "

    "The number of fighter jets that our Northern Flying Group can dispatch is more than 1,300, which is about 400 to 500 more than the Japanese army. Moreover, we are well prepared. Relying on ground radar whose performance far exceeds that of the Japanese army, it can be said that  All movements of the Japanese fleet are under our control. Once the air battle begins, I will send two fighter regiments to cover the Northern Fleet! "

    "What's more!" At this point, Liu Cuigang smiled meaningfully, "Although the Northern Fleet does not have aircraft carrier-based aircraft, it is not a soft persimmon in terms of the fleet's air defense capabilities. It can be controlled by Japanese combat aircraft, right?"

    Amosiyev laughed and said very cheerfully: "It can break the deadlock in the northern air battlefield in one fell swoop and inflict heavy damage on the Japanese aviation force, so what's the harm in being a bait! Commander Liu, when will the Northern Fleet start taking action?"

    "Thank you very much, Commander Amosyev, for your cooperation!" Liu Cuigang said gratefully: "I will immediately submit the combat plan to the division commander. If approved by the division commander, I will immediately send a telegram to the fleet headquarters and we can start the operation tomorrow morning.  "At the speed of the fleet, we can reach the Korean Strait in about three days. Three days is enough for me to mobilize our troops!"

    In Busan, the Korean Peninsula, at the frontline headquarters of the Independent Division, Lieutenant General Zhao Yuhe, chief of staff, walked into the office of division commander Tang Qiuli with the combat plan sent by Liu Cuigang and said: "Division commander, I just received a message from Northern Flying Group Commander Liu Cuigang.  With the telegram, they formulated a battle plan, but it was quite bold and risky!¡±

    "Oh? What bold battle plan surprises you?" Tang Qiuli took the telegram, read it carefully, and then said with a smile: "Liu Cuigang wanted to break the deadlock in one fell swoop. It was indeed bold, but it was not a risk.  , call back, agree! In addition, the two air defense brigades near Daegu will also be transferred to the coastal line of Busan. If necessary, they can provide air cover for the Northern Fleet!"

    On Tsushima Island, which guards the choke point of the Korean Strait, the radar antenna of the Japanese ground radar station is rotating at high speed.??, collecting air and sea signals, because the Tsushima Island ground radar station is the closest eye and ear to the Korean Peninsula in the Japanese northern defense system. It can be said to be at the forefront of the battlefield, and the Japanese Homeland Defense Headquarters attaches great importance to it.  .  It is listed as a first-class radar station.

    The Tsushima Island Radar Station is organized at the regiment level. The station commander, Kakaro Uchiyama, has the rank of Colonel. There is a reinforced squadron of more than 200 Japanese troops stationed on the island, serving as a guard force. Colonel Uchiyama himself is an excellent radar expert.  However, because it is too close to the Korean Peninsula, the Japanese officers and soldiers on Tsushima Island can clearly feel the thick murderous aura coming from the opposite side across the narrow Korean Strait, which makes their hearts  I was in a state of high tension and trembling all the time.

    On this day, Colonel Uchiyama was on duty in the surveillance room as usual. Everything was normal. The radar scanning wave was beating quietly. As soon as Colonel Uchiyama sat down, he heard a radar attendant shouting: "Report to your Excellency, Colonel, the radar  Anomalies found!"

    Colonel Uchiyama asked without raising his eyelids: "In the air or on the sea?"

    These officers and soldiers, who are nervous and highly nervous all day long, are a bit like soldiers. There are several false alarms a day. Sometimes, even a group of seabirds flying in the sky will be mistaken for Chinese people.  fleet, if it were normal times, Colonel Uchiyama would have told him to get lost with such a subordinate, but now is a critical period, and the empire is short of people everywhere, so they can only make do with it.

    "Report to your Excellency, Colonel, it's the sea, the sea! A large number of targets are found, coming from the northeast, most likely a large number of warships!" the radar soldier shouted loudly.

    Colonel Uchiyama calmly walked to the radar and looked at the screen carefully. Indeed, there was a target in an obvious direction. He ordered: "Half of the radars, adjust the observation angle immediately to confirm the target at sea!"

    A few minutes later, all the radars identified the target. It was undoubtedly a large fleet. According to the reflection of radar waves, there were at least a hundred warships heading towards the Korean Strait. Colonel Uchiyama was very sure that it was  The Chinese fleet, because there is no Imperial Navy fleet in the Sea of ??Japan.

    The blood all over his body suddenly rushed to his face, and Colonel Uchiyama's face turned a sickly purple. It was a chance, a good chance to severely damage or completely annihilate the China Fleet. He shouted to the officer on duty: "Report to the Honshu Island Headquarters Defense Area immediately.  Headquarters, urgent! The Tsushima ground radar station has discovered that the China fleet, consisting of about a hundred warships, is approaching from the east of the Sea of ??Japan and is expected to pass through the Korean Strait in two hours!"

    "In addition, the radar found no signs of activity of the China fleet!" Then, Colonel Uchiyama ordered again: "Closely monitor the whereabouts of the China fleet and report to me every twenty minutes!"

    The urgent telegram from the Tsushima Ground Radar Station quickly arrived at the Honshu Defense Area Headquarters of the Japanese Homeland Defense Headquarters. It immediately aroused an impulse like a chicken blood. The officer who received the telegram was as fast as flying.  After reporting the situation, the commander, Lieutenant General Chiba Asami, the chief of staff, Major General Ishihara Yuichi, and the air defense commander, Major General Yokota Takaname, rushed to the war room immediately. The telegram was placed in front of the three Japanese officers, who had read it several times.

    "Ishihara-kun, Yokota-kun, what do you two think?" Lieutenant General Chiba asked.

    Chief of Staff Major General Ishihara said without hesitation: "Your Excellency, Commander, this is an opportunity, a rare opportunity to completely annihilate that fleet!"

    "Yokota-kun, what's your opinion?" Lieutenant General Chiba asked the silent air defense commander Major General Yokota.

    Major General Yokota, who wore gold-rimmed glasses and looked very elegant, frowned and said: "Commander, I think we should be more cautious. The Korean Strait is close to the Korean Peninsula occupied by the China Independent Division. As far as I know,  Liu Cuigang, the commander of the Northern Flying Group of the China Independent Division Aviation Force, is cunning and cunning, and his military tactics are ever-changing. Is the sudden appearance of the China fleet a trap? "

    Chief of Staff Major General Ishihara didn't like hearing it anymore and retorted: "Yokota-kun, are you being too cautious? Trap, what kind of trap? We are dispatching aviation forces, and the distance the aircraft fleet takes off is quite favorable. From the time the aircraft fleet takes off until it starts to attack the enemy fleet,  It can be completed within thirty minutes. If you find something is wrong, can you stop immediately? "

    "If the commanders of our Honshu Island Northern Defense Zone Headquarters are as hesitant and timid as Mr. Yokota, how can we fight future wars? What's more, the Chinese will use a fleet of more than a hundred warships to design traps.  Even if it is a trap, the Chinese people will pay a heavy price for it. The opportunity is rare and cannot be missed! "

    "You!" Faced with the cynicism of Chief of Staff Major General Ishihara, Major General Yokota turned red with anger and was speechless.

      "Okay, you two, stop arguing!" Lieutenant General Chiba interrupted the quarrel between the two subordinates and said: "Chief of Staff Ishihara is right, even if it is a Chinese trap, we cannot lose this opportunity.  The value of a warship is much higher than that of a fighter jet!¡±
