Chapter 853 Fuso Air Force Assembles
As the enemy plane gradually disappeared from sight, Chen Li's tense nerves relaxed a little, but the fighting spirit in his eyes remained unabated. He quickly issued a preliminary order to pursue through the communication channel, but this decision was immediately reminded by Li Qiang.
"Chen Li, calm down. We are less than ten kilometers away from the enemy's gathering place." Li Qiang's voice was steady and firm, coming through the radio waves. "A rash pursuit may cause us to be surrounded by enemy reinforcements and anti-aircraft firepower."
Chen Li frowned upon hearing this, and quickly sketched out the surrounding terrain and enemy situation in his mind. After a moment, he made a wise decision: "Attention, all aircraft, give up the pursuit, we will immediately adjust the course and return to the aircraft carrier to land. Li Qiang, your reminder is very timely, we must stay rational and not lose the big picture because of the small."
As the order was given, the Changfeng fighter formation quickly adjusted its formation and flew towards the aircraft carrier in the best condition.
The Stormbirds fighter formation, after paying a heavy price of having two diamond fighters shot down, finally escaped from this dangerous sky. Like frightened birds, they quickly shuttled between the clouds, fleeing from this nightmare place.
On the plane, Yamamoto Masayasu finally restored communication with the ground command post. He took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm and powerful: "This is Yamamoto Masayasu. The formation has evacuated the battlefield, but the losses are heavy. We need to conduct a tactical summary and assessment immediately."
However, his report did not receive the expected understanding and support. Commander Tsukawa Yoshiyasu of the ground command center, upon hearing the battle report, immediately roared in anger: "Yamamoto Masayasu, you good-for-nothing! You pighead! You are a piece of trash! You have a whole formation of fighter jets, but you can't even stop a few reconnaissance planes? How can you save our dignity!"
Facing this barrage of scolding, Yamamoto Masayasu suppressed his anger and resentment. He knew that arguing at this moment would only make things worse. So he chose to endure it silently until the other party had finished venting.
Finally, Tsukawa Yoshiyasu's anger seemed to be released a little, and his tone softened a little: "Tell me, what are your plans next?"
Yamamoto Masayasu took the opportunity to report his analysis: "Based on the battlefield situation, we judge that those carrier-based aircraft are from the aircraft carriers of the Chinese fleet. This means that the enemy is likely to launch a landing operation. We must act immediately and organize air forces to launch a surprise attack. We must deal a heavy blow to the enemy before they gain a foothold and establish air defense positions. In this way, we may be able to save some face."
Hearing this, Tsukawa Yoshiyasu was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about Yamamoto Masayasu's proposal. After a moment, he finally spoke: "Okay, I'll do as you say. But this time, you can't let me down again."
After Tsukagawa Yoshiyasu reported the dire situation on the battlefield and Yamamoto Masayasu's initial strategic concept to the senior command post, the atmosphere in the entire command room suddenly became solemn. Commander Chuichi Nagumo, a general known for his calmness and courage, quickly examined the battle map and intelligence briefing on the table with a sharp gaze.
After a moment, he made a bold decision.
"Immediately launch the 'Sky Cutoff Plan' and order the six wings of the Fuso Air Force to assemble urgently and prepare to launch a fatal air strike on the enemy's landing operation!" Nagumo Chuichi's voice was steady and powerful, penetrating the tense atmosphere in the command room.
"Yes, General!" Upon hearing this, Tsukawa Yoshiyasu immediately stood up and accepted the order, feeling both pressure and excitement. He knew very well that this order was not only an approval of Yamamoto Masayasu's suggestion, but also a major test of the entire Fuso Air Force's capabilities.
Immediately, Yoshiyasu Tsukawa quickly issued an emergency assembly order to all air force wings through the encrypted communication network. His words were full of unquestionable authority and urgency: "Attention all wings, this is Yoshiyasu Tsukawa, the Air Force Commander-in-Chief. According to the decision of the Supreme Command, the "Sky Cutoff Plan" will be launched immediately. All wings are requested to immediately complete combat preparations, including but not limited to aircraft maintenance, ammunition supply, personnel deployment, etc. Ensure that effective combat power can be quickly formed when specific combat orders are received."
"First Wing, as the vanguard, your unit must be deployed to the designated airspace in advance to be responsible for reconnaissance and initial strike missions. Please ensure that the intelligence is accurate and provide strong support for the follow-up troops."
"The 2nd to 6th Wings are responsible for air strikes in different directions, forming a multi-wave, all-round strike network. Each wing must clearly define its own mission area to avoid accidental injuries to friendly forces, while ensuring the comprehensive suppression of the enemy landing fleet."
"Fighter formations and bomber squadrons must work closely together to give full play to their respective advantages and implement precision strikes and regional blockades. In particular, they must pay special attention to the enemy's air defense positions, command posts and landing ships."
Under the precise command of Tsukawa Yoshiyasu, the entire Fuso Air Force took quick action. The various wings maintained close contact and coordination through encrypted channels to ensure that every instruction could be accurately transmitted to the grassroots. The roar of aircraft engines rose and fell, foreshadowing the upcoming unprecedented air battle.
At the same time, Chuichi Nagumo was also closely following the progress of the air force assembly.
He knew very well that this air raid was not only a major blow to the enemy's landing operation, but also a comprehensive test of the Fuso Air Force's fighting will and combat capability.
On the bridge of the flagship, the sea breeze mixed with a tense atmosphere blew in his face. Liu Chengxu stood in front of the command desk, his eyes fixed on the enemy's dynamic analysis chart on the screen.
As an experienced commander, he knew that every detail could determine the success or failure of a battle.
"Report to Commander Liu, based on the latest intelligence and analysis of weather conditions, the enemy is very likely to launch an air strike when we land." The intelligence officer's voice echoed on the bridge, breaking the momentary silence.
Liu Chengxu frowned slightly, and quickly simulated a variety of response plans in his mind. Finally, he decisively issued an order: "Adjust the landing plan, immediately let the 312th Air Defense Division land as the vanguard, and be sure to quickly establish an effective air defense position near the port. This is our first line of defense, and we must not lose it!"
"Yes, Commander!" The signalman quickly conveyed the order to the landing troops.
"In addition," Liu Chengxu continued, "notify all ships in the fleet to immediately sound the first-level air defense alarm and put all air defense systems on combat readiness. Our fleet must not only provide firepower support for the landing troops, but also serve as their solid backing."
Following Liu Chengxu's instructions, a burst of urgent alarms sounded on the bridge. The captains of each ship responded quickly, adjusted their formations according to the established plan, and strengthened the deployment of anti-aircraft firepower.
