"Sir, Commander Meng of the First Air Fleet requests us to stop shelling Yuewei Island and retreat towards Lushun."

"Oh." Chen Shaokuan responded slowly, but he did not give an order to transfer, but instead asked, "When will the Japanese arrive?"

"About 2 hours later." Jiang Jingguo pointed to the chart and said, "If we transfer now, we can withdraw 30 nautical miles at a speed of 60 knots, and the distance from Weihai Airport will be about 170 kilometers, and the Japanese suicide planes will have no chance. gone."

"There's no chance they'll come again? It's not that the Japanese really want to commit suicide. They want us to die together, so we can't withdraw. We will continue to bombard Yuemido Island here."

"But..." Jiang Jingguo frowned, and just about to continue persuading, Chen Shaokuan said first: "Give Meng Hailong an order, let him send all the Fw-190 fighter jets and A-4 Thunderhawk dive bombers Come to cover the battleship force; the First Air Fleet and the landing fleet will temporarily hide in the Bohai Strait, and let the Air Force send planes to cover it."

"Mr. Chen, you said that the A-4 Thunder Eagle will also come?" Jiang Jingguo was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked back.

"Why? Can't you?" A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Chen Shaokuan's mouth: "Although the air combat performance of our A-4 Thunderhawk dive bomber is not as good as that of the Fw-190, it is not as good as those suicide planes of the Japanese. I know how much stronger. And our carrier-based pilots are all elites, and their suicide pilots are rookies. I use 100 Fw-190s to stop their Zeros, and 500 A-4s and 100 Fw- 190 to deal with their Type 99 special attack aircraft... Even if there is one that slips through the net, use the anti-aircraft firepower of the Second Fleet to take care of it."

"Is this okay?" Jiang Jingguo was startled when he heard this.Chen Shaokuan turned around and smiled at him, "What's wrong? Who stipulated that dive bombers can only be used to drop bombs? Since our Fw-190 can also be used to bomb with bombs attached, why can't the A-4 not fly?" Bringing bombs out for air combat? Jingguo, hurry up and give Commander Meng an order, and let Commander Meng decide how to fight."

……

"Your Excellency, the telegram from Incheon, the Chinese battleship formation is still bombarding Wolmido Island!"

Genda looked at the white clouds and blue sky outside the cabin, as well as the densely packed Japanese army fleet, and nodded slightly.He escaped by parachuting after being shot down by a Chinese plane in the big air battle in November, but his right leg was broken when he landed, so today he can only take a Type 11 bomber that has just been equipped with radar to serve as the whole team. Commander of the air raid.

"How far are we from the China Fleet?" Genda couldn't see any joy or anger on his face, he just asked lightly.

"Less than 300 kilometers away! Sir, our surprise attack will definitely succeed!" A Japanese navy captain who was on the same plane as Genda couldn't hide his excitement.

"The reconnaissance plane of the Chinese people must have spotted us, so there will be no surprise attack." Genda shook his head, then turned on the communicator, and issued an order to the entire fleet: "I am Genda Minoru, and this is the air raid on the Chinese fleet. Now we are still 300 kilometers away from the Chinese fleet! It is expected that we will soon encounter the interception of Chinese fighter jets, and all Zero fighters are ready to fight with enemy fighter jets at all costs! All kamikaze planes have raised their heights to 8000 meters, prepare to dive for defense!" After finishing speaking, Genda reached out and patted the shoulder of the pilot sitting in front of him, and ordered: "Let's climb up too, and go to the altitude of 8000 meters. Not good at altitude, we'll be safer up there."

At this moment, the aircraft radar operator suddenly shouted loudly: "Enemy plane found! Enemy plane found, distance 80, number at least 100! Altitude 5000 meters!"

Genada Minoru frowned slightly, turned on the communicator again, picked up the intercom and ordered: "I am Genada Minoru, and I found a Chinese fighter jet! The number is 100, the distance is 80 kilometers, and the altitude is 5000 meters! Entangle the China fighter jets at all costs! Attention all kamikaze planes, immediately raise the altitude and prepare to dive for defense."

Dive defense is a special tactic that Genda racked his brains after the Philippine air battle.This tactic takes advantage of the weakness of China's Fw-190 fighter jets, which have poor high-altitude performance. First, all kamikaze aircraft are raised to a flying altitude of 8000 meters, and then they use dives to speed up the defense, and at the same time use Zero fighter jets to entangle them. Fight against the opponent's Fw-190, and strive to let the kamikaze special attack aircraft penetrate the defense as quickly as possible.

The densely packed Japanese planes in the sky suddenly divided into two dark clusters. Among them, more than 200 Type Zero planes accelerated and rushed towards the Chinese fighter jet group 80 kilometers ahead, and the remaining nearly 99 Type [-] planes attacked The aircraft desperately pulled up, preparing to seize the high altitude, and then successfully penetrated the defense in one fell swoop...

Chapter 0969 The gorgeous debut of the nuclear age ([-]) The plan for a protracted war

In Pyongyang, the atmosphere in the headquarters of the Japanese and Korean Army can only be described as the end of the day.Those high-spirited staff officers on weekdays are mostly sitting there in a daze, unable to answer the phone when it rings, like eggplants that have been beaten by frost.He stared and couldn't believe the battle report sent from the front line of Yunshan.Eight Japanese infantry divisions, four tank divisions, five independent tank brigades, one cavalry group, as many as 25 troops, and 20 powerful troops of various tanks, regardless of life and death , At all costs, they stormed for a day and two nights, and in the end they failed to take down a Chinese Panzergrenadier division!Moreover, under the indiscriminate bombing of Chinese planes, they suffered heavy losses, and finally seemed to have lost the power to continue their offensive!Now less than [-] remnants and defeated generals are still placed around Yunshan. I don't know whether to advance or retreat?

The reinforcements of the Chinese army probably have an elite armored division that has arrived at the front line along the Chushan-Yunshan Highway. If the Japanese army wants to attack again, it is obvious that they will die.However, it is not appropriate to withdraw the troops from around Yunshan.Not to mention those Chinese planes that block the sky and the legendary flying tanks willing to let them live, even the general situation of the entire Korean battlefield does not allow the Japanese armored group to retreat in a big step, otherwise the Korean army The 32 divisions of the four armies on the northern front all have to be trapped in the siege of the Chinese!

But if they don't retreat, the front of the Korean army can still be maintained for a while. After all, there are millions of troops standing there, even if millions of pigs are caught by the Chinese, I am afraid it will take a while to catch them!But what about the side of the North Korean army?The Chinese landing fleet has already appeared off the coast of Incheon. Hundreds of carrier-based aircraft came to bomb early this morning, and three damn battleships are bombarding endlessly.Look at this posture and it will land in a big way soon!Moreover, the two Japanese regiments on the front line of Incheon and an infantry division that was bombed halfway would definitely not be able to defend... When the Chinese army landed in Incheon, it would be a few days before they would be able to drive straight in and take Seoul. Then the more than 100 million Japanese soldiers in North Korea will definitely let the Chinese make dumplings!

For this mess, Ishihara Waner's suggestion is to shrink the defense line and abandon the east and west sections of the Yalu River defense line.Yoshida's Mecha Army and Kawabe Shozo's 22nd Army continued to hold out near Yunshan.Matsui Iwane's 15th Army retreated towards Pyongyang.Hayao Tada's 18th Army and Itagaki Seishiro's 17th Army retreated to Wonsan.In this way, two independent fortresses can be formed in Pyongyang and Wonsan, holding back the main force of the Chinese army and creating the possibility for the rest of the troops to withdraw to Busan and Daegu.

The deputy chief of staff of the Joseon Army, Oshiroto Sanji, also agreed with Ishihara's suggestion. He loudly told Sugiyama Motodao, who was ordered to take over the command of the Joseon Army when he was in danger: "Your Excellency, I also believe that Ishihara-kun's suggestion is currently the only feasible one. According to Ishihara-kun According to the plan, the North Korean army can form three fortresses with horns in Pyongyang, Wonsan, and Busan. Each fortress has hundreds of thousands of troops, which is enough to form a tight defense. There is no other way to flatten the trenches of the Imperial Army!"

"Isn't it just to let the Chinese Army be surrounded by three isolated strongholds!" Sugiyama Moto muttered.

Although he knew that the situation here was extremely urgent before coming to North Korea, he did not expect it to be so critical.He glanced at Neiji Okamura who hadn't left yet. This "sinner of the Great Japanese Empire" seemed to have completely collapsed, his hair and beard had all turned white, his body was bent, his face was pale without a trace of blood, and he bowed his head. His head was silent there... I don't know if he will commit seppuku after returning to Japan?

"Okamura-kun, what do you think? Is Ishihara-kun's suggestion feasible?" Moto Sugiyama frowned and asked Okamura Ningji: "If the troops are divided into three parts and each guards one, once they are surrounded by the Chinese Army, I am afraid there will be no The whole army is in danger of being wiped out."

Sugiyama's worry is very reasonable. Since the Japanese army has no air superiority at all, and even the command of the sea is controlled by the Chinese army, it is impossible for the troops trapped in Pyongyang and Wonsan to get logistical supplies!Even the Japanese retreating to Pusan ​​would lose logistics.And the three solitary armies without logistics, no matter how many there are, cannot be maintained for a long time.

"Is the whole army wiped out?" Okamura Ningji smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid the final result will be the whole army wiped out? Unless the empire can reach peace with China before the Korean army is completely wiped out... Otherwise, let the Korean army Sacrifice time to deploy for the home defense of the Empire."

Okamura's answer made Sugiyama Moto, Ishihara and Oshiro fall into silence.Okamura sighed, and continued: "This round of competition should allow us to recognize the fact that China is far stronger than we imagined before. Not only are they 10 times more powerful than the Empire in terms of comprehensive national strength, they are the existing Its military strength is also 10 times that of the empire.

The attack power of the Chinese Army troops, the huge power of the Chinese Army's air power, the rapidity of the Chinese Army's armored troops interspersed with attacks, and the ability of the Chinese Army's senior commanders to organize large-scale three-dimensional battles are all far beyond our imagination!Facing this opponent, the empire cannot win no matter what!Perhaps it is time for us to wake up from our dream of empire... Now is the time to consider negotiating an armistice with China and ending the war on the last condition of preserving Japan's national system and the integrity of the mainland! "

Sugiyama frowned slightly: "As far as I know, diplomatic efforts have already begun, but... neither the army nor the people can accept the transfer of New Japan Prefecture."

Okamura Neiji sighed with a wry smile: "I can't accept it either, so I organized this Unsan Battle that ruined the lives of more than 100 million soldiers of the Korean Army! But what was the result?" He shook his head: " The reality is the reality, and nothing will change because we don’t accept it... The reality is that we can’t beat China, the army can’t beat it, and the navy can’t beat it either!”

"The navy has organized thousands of kamikaze special attack aircraft! Now it is launching a special attack operation against the Chinese fleet off the coast of Incheon. Maybe a miracle will happen." Sugiyama Moto's words have no confidence.

Okamura still shook his head: "If the navy's kamikaze attack could deal with the Chinese navy, there wouldn't be more than a dozen Chinese aircraft carriers coming to the west coast of North Korea. The South China Sea battle a month ago should have wiped them all out! "

"No, no, no." Shaking his head, Sugiyama Moto said three no words in succession: "Okamura-kun, you are too pessimistic. Although the current battle situation is unfavorable, there must be room for recovery, as long as [-] With the people of all nations united as one, the empire will surely defeat the violence!"

Neiji Okamura smiled wryly and shook his head, as if he had nothing to say.However, Ishihara Waner, Chief of Staff of the North Korean Army, took over the topic at this time and echoed Sugiyama Yuan.

"Your Excellency, Commander, is right. The empire has not yet reached the point of complete hopelessness. Although China has an overwhelming advantage in overall national power and military strength, there is one thing that is beneficial to the empire. There are actually different opinions on how far the war should go." Speaking of this, Ishihara Wanji showed a confident smile on his face:

"Compared with the [-] million people in the empire who are united in one mind, the Chinese people always have many different opinions on all major issues, and they are practicing the so-called democratic constitutional government. If the Chinese National Congress passes a resolution to end the war, the Chinese people Even if the military is unwilling, they can only obey orders. In this regard, the imperial system of the empire has a clear advantage.

...According to the information collected from China during this period, the people of China and even their upper echelons actually have quite a big disagreement about this war.It's just that the war is going smoothly now, so all kinds of different opinions have been suppressed by the uncle and nephew of the Luo family.Once the Japan-China War falls into the quagmire of a protracted war, the peaceful forces in China will definitely gain the upper hand, and then the empire will be able to understand the war on relatively favorable terms. "

"Oh. Do you also think that the empire can use a protracted war to win the turning point?" Moto Sugiyama raised his eyebrows lightly, and a trace of approval slipped across his face. "Obata-kun of the military department also has the same opinion. He believes that the people's unwillingness to be ruled by China can be used to resist and turn Japan into a quagmire of war! Let China be trapped in it." He smiled slightly at this point. Laughing: "It seems that Ishihara-kun and Obata-kun are heroes who see the same thing!"

Hearing this, Ishihara Waner shook his head secretly in his heart.His idea of ​​a protracted war has actually been reflected in Case E of the "Special No. [-] Operation Plan".However, in Ishihara's plan, the royal family and the government, including Emperor Hirohito of Japan, must stay in Japan and lead the Japanese people to persevere in the war of resistance!However, Xiaobata's plan is to flee from the emperor and the government, and remotely control the people overseas to resist... What will the people in China think?Can we still have the will to resist China to the end and the spirit of not being afraid of sacrifice?

However, Ishihara did not want to entangle Sugiyama Moto about the emperor's fate, but turned the topic back to North Korea: "Your Excellency, in order to buy time for the local preparations for the war of resistance, the North Korean army must make some sacrifices...so I still suggest that the main force of the North Korean army be reduced to Pyongyang, Wonsan, and Busan, and strive to survive the siege of the Chinese army for about six months."

"Six months... It would be great if we could persist for that long." Sugiyama Yuan nodded, and said slowly: "But the Korean Army is the essence of the Imperial Army after all, and we cannot lose all of them, especially some outstanding officers. Whether it is the domestic resistance or the battle in the New Japan State, they are all needed. Ishihara-kun, the staff immediately drew up a list of evacuation, with a total of about 2 people. And they must be taken by the North Korean sea route leading to the mainland. Complete retreat before blockade."

"Then what is the next move of the North Korean army?" Shi Yuan asked tentatively.

"Just follow Ishihara-kun's plan." Sugiyama Yuan thought for a while, and then reminded: "Are there enough supplies in Pyongyang, Wonsan, and Busan? China may not attack by force, but will adopt a long-term siege, so we must Be prepared."

Shi Yuan nodded: "The humble job will take it into consideration. The useless population in Pyongyang, Wonsan, and Busan will all be evacuated, so that the supplies in the city can be maintained for a longer period of time."

Moto Sugiyama nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand, and let Ishihara Waner go down to carry out his plan.

At this point in the war, there is only so much the Korean army can do.Next, it depends on China's determination and the result of the unprecedented suicide attack launched by the Japanese navy.

……

"There are Japanese suicide planes below at 12 o'clock, send them on their way! Brothers, come with me!"

"Damn it! Why can't these suicide planes be finished!"

"Little Japan must be desperately sending out all the suicide planes! Brothers, stop these guys, whether it's a fighter jet or a bomber!"

At this time, the Japanese suicide fleet had already crossed the first blockade of Chinese carrier-based aircraft, and had just been intercepted by overwhelming A-4 Thunderhawk dive bombers and more than 100 Fw-190Cs.Hundreds of A-4 dive bombers swarmed down from high altitude, smashing the formation of Japanese suicide planes all at once, and a scuffle broke out over the west coast of North Korea.

When Chen Shaokuan on the Zhenyuan ship in the distance saw the chaotic air combat scene through the binoculars, his whole scalp began to tingle, and he saw thousands of fighter planes strangling together in midair, in a Japanese suicide style Aircraft, including Chinese carrier-based fighter jets and dive bombers, as well as twin-engine heavy fighter jets flying from Lushun, all these planes are desperately chasing, fighting, and diving. A plane was hit and caught fire, and fell down with a long smoke!Between the sea and the sky seems to be a magnificent scroll of battlefield!

The dive performance of the A-4 Thunderhawk dive bomber is undoubtedly quite excellent, and this aircraft can reach a speed of more than 500 kilometers per hour without carrying bombs and bombardiers, even faster than the Japanese Zero fighter.However, the huge fuselage makes its turning performance poor, and there is no way to make complex air maneuvers, so the air combat performance is not good.But it is enough to deal with today's suicide planes piloted by Japanese rookie pilots!

Amidst bursts of ear-piercing screams, the Chinese A-4 Thunderhawk dived straight down from high altitude and rushed towards their respective targets. Afterwards, streams of fire swept across. All kinds of weird postures rolled and fell down!Or simply explode in the air and break into several pieces.

After completing a beautiful dive attack, these dive bombers usually make a turn in the distance, then suddenly pull up, climb to the high altitude again in a nearly vertical posture, and then begin to prepare for a round of dive attack.

These tactical maneuvers are what the A-4 Thunderhawk is best at. Climbing, circling, and diving... It's just that bombing has been changed to strafing, but it is also a daily training subject for dive bombers.

And this simple and easy attack method, in the eyes of the Japanese kamikaze players, is simply unacceptable cheating!
