Chapter 681 Haha, as long as you give us 3 months, everything can return to the starting point
"Your Excellency, Commander, our aviation unit has completed all preparations for air combat and can now attack the enemy's airports and other important military targets. Please approve it, Commander!"
Fujiwara Ichiro reported to General Tada with excitement on his face. He had never expected that the mainland would provide such great support. As many as 600 combat aircraft were mobilized, plus more than 30 elite ace pilots.
"Yoshi! Fujiwara-kun, I'm looking forward to the performance of your aviation unit. I hope you won't disappoint me and the headquarters. This time we have mobilized all the fighter planes we can. If you can't gain air superiority before the war begins, then our tank wing won't be able to be deployed to the battlefield."
"It's not that I want to put a lot of pressure on you, but the headquarters has issued a death order, requiring us to eliminate all resistance forces in the entire Jin Province within three months, otherwise it will be difficult for me to continue to hold the position of commander."
If it were someone else, General Tada would not have said so much, but Fujiwara Ichiro did not care, because he was his teacher's nephew. It was because of his teacher's care that Fujiwara Ichiro was able to rise to the top, and the relationship between the two sides was very good.
"General, please rest assured! I am very confident in this battle for air supremacy and will definitely not let you and the headquarters down!"
General Tada nodded with satisfaction and directly issued an order for the air force to attack. After receiving the order, more than 300 combat aircraft immediately left the airport and headed straight for the Zhaojiayu base.
As soon as Lin Zhenhua received the news that the Japanese fighter planes were dispatched, he immediately ordered the Air Force Regiment to take off. All fighter planes on standby at the base took off immediately, and no fighter plane was allowed to stay on the airport runway.
With the help of 16 hydraulic catapults, more than 260 combat aircraft loaded with ammunition and fuel left the airport runway as soon as possible and went to intercept the Japanese fighter planes!
This air battle is different. In the past, it involved the struggle for air supremacy and even the life and death of the Northwest Shanxi Military Sub-district. Lin Zhenhua did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
"Old Zhao, I order you to dispatch all the fighter planes we can use. Don't leave any behind. We must not let the Japanese succeed in their plot. We must successfully crush their attempt to seize air superiority on the battlefield."
"The air defense forces of the base area should immediately be put on alert. As long as the Japanese fighter planes come, we must resolutely shoot them down. The radar forces should pay close attention to the direction of the Japanese enemy planes and provide the positions of the Japanese fighter planes to our attacking fighter planes to increase the chances of the air force regiment's victory!"
"Old Li, don't just sit there. Get our three-wheeled motorcycle commandos ready and launch a surprise attack on the enemy's camp. Force the enemy's air force to turn to the Niangzi Pass area. We must change the battlefield and not fight this air battle on our territory. If we win, our losses will not be small. If we lose, our losses will only be greater!"
"Also, order all anti-aircraft rocket artillery units to stand by and have them look for the right opportunity to attack the Japanese fighter planes! Didn't we create a lot of fake targets before? Now they can come in handy to attract the Japanese fighter planes to attack, and then use anti-aircraft rockets to shoot down the Japanese fighter planes."
Under the orderly command of Lin Zhenhua, the Air Force Regiment ambushed the Japanese fighter planes 80 kilometers away from the Zhaojiayu base. The enemy and our side launched a fierce air battle. The battle became intense from the beginning. Fighter planes were shot down every minute, and both sides suffered heavy losses.
Since the Japanese had the advantage in numbers, overall, the balance of the war was beginning to tilt towards the Japanese side. Liu Haishan, who was in charge of the front-line command, immediately asked for help.
"College student, we have been at a disadvantage in the air battle with the Japanese. We request the second-line fighters to join the battle immediately, otherwise the main force of our air force will be severely damaged by the enemy's aviation force!"
After receiving Liu Haishan's call for help, Lin Zhenhua did not dare to delay and immediately ordered all fighter jets at second-line airports to take off and rush to the war zone.
After learning of the movements of the Air Force Regiment, Fujiwara Ichiro also sent second-line fighters to participate in the battle. The enemy and our side engaged in a fierce battle over Heishiling. The battle lasted from morning to evening. The enemy and our side lost a total of more than 290 combat aircraft, and the result of the battle was basically around 1 to 1.
Although the air force did not achieve the desired effect in the first battle, Fujiwara Ichiro was not discouraged. He had already figured out the strength of the air force regiment and was preparing to launch a larger-scale air battle the next day.
"Order the third and fourth echelons of fighters to get ready and engage in the battle for air supremacy with the enemy tomorrow. At all costs, we must consume the main force of the enemy's air force regiment. Only in this way can we become the real air overlord on the battlefield and completely win air supremacy on the battlefield!" Fujiwara Ichiro said with a faint smile on his face.
Colonel Nagata was also in high spirits. Today's air battle had refreshed his entire mental temperament. The anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was completely vented out, and his face was full of smiles.
"Fujiwara-kun, you really hit the snake right where it's weakest. We should use our overwhelming advantage to defeat the enemy in one blow, instead of using the previous method of slow attrition. After all, our enemy has the ability to produce fighter planes on its own. We can't fight a war of attrition with the enemy relying on the strength of the 18th Flying Division."
"The facts have proved that our previous judgment was correct. We can't seize air superiority on the battlefield by relying solely on the 18th Flying Division. If we seize it at all costs, it will only make our situation worse. After a long wait, we finally ushered in the dawn of victory."
"As long as the headquarters can maintain full support for us for three months, there will be absolutely no problem in conquering the enemy's Zhaojiayu base. I am fully confident of this!"
Compared to the relaxed and happy atmosphere among the Japs, the atmosphere here in the Air Force Regiment is very solemn. In the air battle during the day today, they lost 149 fighter planes, five more than the Japs. This was completely beyond everyone's expectations.
"College student, please punish me! Our air force regiment did not fight well in this battle, and the responsibility lies with me as the commander-in-chief of the front line. No matter how the college students punish me, I will accept it!" Liu Haishan said with a dejected face.
