Chapter seven hundred and eighty fourth air ambush
It turned out that all this was arranged in advance by Gao Jiu. The direction of the coalition forces attacking the Japanese army was more than 50 kilometers away from the Strait of Malacca. There was no need to worry about the attack of Japanese naval guns. The only thing that could pose a threat to the coalition forces was the Japanese carrier-based aircraft.
Based on the information provided by the Japanese First Fleet, Gao Jiu learned that although the Japanese Navy in Southeast Asia won the battle with the British and American combined fleet, the two aircraft carriers were also traumatized and could only be repaired and could not be used for the time being. Only two aircraft carriers could be used to support the Japanese army in Malaysia.
These two aircraft carriers are of different models. One aircraft carrier can carry 48 carrier-based aircraft and the other can carry 62 carrier-based aircraft. They also suffered great losses in the naval battle, with only 25 fighter jets and 34 bombers remaining.
The bombers that took off this time can be said to be all bombers of the Japanese Navy.
After Gao Jiu learned of this situation, he decided to design and kill these Japanese bombers. He deliberately let the British troops advance with great fanfare and arranged them neatly on the ground without any concealment, in order to attract Japanese bombers to bomb.
He couldn't bear to leave his children and could not trap the wolf. Gao Jiu made up his mind this time that he would rather be blown up these equipment and vehicles by the Japanese army than to destroy the Japanese bombers.
He had already told Wang Zhankui in advance that he would hide anti-aircraft guns in the area where the Japanese army began to dive bomb, but he caught the Japanese bomber off guard.
Gao Jiu judged that after the Japanese bomber was hit, he would no longer bomb the British positions, but would fly back to the aircraft carrier from both sides. Therefore, a batch of anti-aircraft guns were also ambushed on both wings of the British positions, which once again gave the Japanese bomber a heavy blow.
In Gao Jiu's plan, the British troops did not participate in this battle. Gao Jiu instructed them to give up all their equipment and hide in the nearby mountains and forests once the Japanese reconnaissance planes flew away.
The British officers and soldiers were very brave. The anti-aircraft machine gunners took the initiative to stay, but in the end they also killed some of the Japanese bombers in the battle.
After this battle, only three Japanese bombers were left. It would take at least one week to replenish the aircraft carrier, and it would not be possible to pose a threat to the coalition forces in a short period of time.
Gao Jiu set up a trap to eliminate the threat of Japanese bombers. Next, he set up another trap, and the target he attacked was directly aimed at the Japanese naval fleet.
The commander of the fleet was very distressed when the Japanese naval bomber suffered such heavy losses. He was sulking there. Feng Fumiya Yamashita called.
Yamashita Tomoto didn't know what the Japanese bombed the coalition's positions. In order to bring closer relations with the commander of the Japanese fleet, he also called to express his gratitude.
The commander of the Japanese fleet came to the scene without any hesitation. When he heard Yamashita Fengwen's words, he thought he was mocking him. He suppressed his anger and did not scold Yamashita Fengwen, but hung up the phone directly.
Monk Fengwen-two of the mountain was confused and did not understand what medicine the commander of the Japanese fleet had taken, and he couldn't tell the difference.
When the chief of staff saw this situation, he felt a little bad. He asked his subordinates who were familiar with the Japanese Navy. A Japanese communications officer was a fellow officer in the Japanese Navy. He called and asked, and then he found out that the bomber on the aircraft carrier suffered heavy losses.
Only then did Yamashita Fengfu understand why the fleet commander didn't like him anymore. His feeling is getting worse and worse now.
He found that Gao Jiu was too difficult to deal with. Now the Air Force could no longer cooperate with his troops to fight. Faced with the powerful firepower of the coalition forces and a large number of infantry fighting vehicles, he was very worried whether his troops could withstand the enemy's attack.
At this moment, bad news came again, and the Japanese fleet planned to leave the Strait of Malacca and no longer provide artillery support to Fengwen's troops at Yamashita.
Yamashita Fengmoto was a smart man. When he saw the position of the coalition forces, he knew that the coalition forces were afraid of the attacks of Japanese naval guns. Otherwise, they would divide their troops and launch an attack on Jilong along the seaside at the same time.
The Japanese fleet could not leave. In that case, Yamashita Fengfu's troops would probably not be able to stop Gao Jiu's attack.
Yamashita Tomoto first sent a telegram to the Army Department, asking them to coordinate their relations with the Japanese Navy, and make sure that the Japanese fleet stayed in the Strait of Malacca and continued to provide naval gun support to the 25th Army.
To be on the safe side, he asked the Chief of Staff to visit the commander of the Japanese fleet again. This time, not only did he send a box of gold, but also two boxes of robbed cultural relics. After all, he finally made the commander of the Japanese Navy's fleet agree to stay and continue to provide naval gun support to the 25th Army.
Gao Jiu knew very well that if he wanted to capture Malaysia, he had to conquer Kuala Lumpur. If he wanted to conquer Kuala Lumpur, he had to force the Japanese Navy to leave the Strait of Malacca.
It would not work if you wanted to attack the Japanese navy, relying on artillery on land. Compared with the Japanese naval guns, the artillery that Gao Jiu had was only beaten.
Therefore, he planned to use bombers to attack the Japanese navy.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to kill the fighter jets on Japanese carrier-based aircraft.
Therefore, Gao Jiu began to trap the Japanese fighter jets.
That morning, the radar on the Japanese aircraft carrier discovered that a large number of aircraft were flying in the northwest. The number of aircraft was too large. The Japanese army quickly sounded the combat alarm, and the anti-aircraft guns on the aircraft carrier were ready to shoot.
The fighter jets on the aircraft carrier also began to take off, but they saw that there were too many enemy planes. They dared not fight with the enemy. They just hovered around the aircraft carrier and cooperated with the anti-aircraft guns on the warships to repel the enemy's attack.
However, the target of the enemy plane this time was not the Japanese naval fleet, but the troops of the 18th Division.
A large number of bombers bombed the Japanese positions, causing major casualties to the 18th Division.
Yamashita Tomoto hurriedly contacted the commander of the Japanese fleet and asked them why they did not send fighter jets to knock down the enemy bombers.
The commander of the Japanese fleet was very angry and said, "There are hundreds of enemy planes, and we only have dozens of them. How can we fight against the enemy?"
When Yamashita Fengmoto heard this, he was very puzzled. He said, "The enemy does not have so many planes. We clearly saw that they only have dozens of bombers and not even escort fighters. You can completely kill them."
The fleet commander became even more angry and said, "You are simply talking nonsense. We can see clearly on the radar that there are at least hundreds of enemy planes."
The fleet commander believed that Yamashita Tomoto wanted them to work hard for the 25th Army, regardless of the life or death of the Japanese Navy.
He was too lazy to pay attention to Fengwen at the foot of the mountain, so he fell off the phone again.
Yamashita Tomoto was also very angry. He thought it was the Japanese fleet commander who was lying. It was obvious that the enemy had only dozens of bombers, but where did hundreds of planes come from?
Yamashita Tomoto knew something about the situation in the Golden Triangle. He knew that Gao Jiu did not have so many planes. He firmly believed that the Japanese fleet commander was lying and deliberately shirking responsibility. So he accused the Japanese fleet commander of the army department of the army for not cooperating with the army.
The Army Department protested against the Japanese Navy Department, and the two sides started a lawsuit and accused each other of lying.
For several days, the Japanese positions were bombed by bombers from coalition forces. Yamashita Fengfu had to bow his head again and ask the Japanese fleet commander to send fighter jets to destroy the bombers sent by the Golden Triangle.
The commander of the Japanese fleet still insisted that there were too many enemy planes and they had to leave limited fighter jets to defend the safety of the fleet.
Yamashita Tomoto said that there were only dozens of enemy bombers. He cursed and sweared, asking the commander of the Japanese fleet to send someone to check it out in person.
The commander of the Japanese fleet was very angry. He decided to send someone to see it in person and leave evidence to leave Yamashita Fengwen speechless.
On this day, the commander of the Japanese aircraft carrier aircraft came to the frontier positions of the Japanese army and discovered a strange situation. There were only twenty or thirty bombers sent by the coalition forces to bomb. He found that one of them seemed to have shiny things scattered in the sky. He contacted the fleet's radar soldiers, and indeed hundreds of aircraft were displayed on the radar.
He understood a little, and I'm afraid it was the thing that was scattered from the enemy plane that made the radar misjudgment.
He observed for two days and discovered this scene. He understood that this was a kind of radar device used by the enemy. There were only a few dozen bombers in the enemy's army, and he did not see any enemy fighter jets in the air.
The commander of the Japanese carrier-based aircraft reported this situation to the fleet commander. The commander knew that he had been deceived. He was very angry and ordered an attack on the coalition bombers.
That morning, the radar discovered hundreds of planes flying from the sky. This time the Japanese army had experience, so they sent out all the fighter planes to destroy the bombers of the coalition forces.
In the positions of the coalition forces, a most advanced vehicle-mounted radar discovered that the Japanese fighter jet was flying towards the battlefield and immediately notified the bomber captain who was performing the bombing mission. The bomber captain calculated the time and saw the figure of Japanese fighter jets appearing in the horizon and turned around and returned.
The 25 Japanese fighters saw the coalition bombers in front of them, and they were not willing to let them escape, so they increased the accelerator and chased after them.
The Japanese fighter jets chased after five minutes, and were about to catch up with the coalition bomber. The Japanese fighter captain was very excited and asked the fighter pilots to choose their own targets and not allow an enemy bomber to escape.
Suddenly, the captain of the Japanese fighter jet seemed to have discovered something. He looked up and saw some small black dots appear between the white clouds on the upper left. When he looked closely, it turned out to be the enemy's fighter jet.
Almost at the same time, the pilots of Japanese fighter planes reported that they had discovered enemy fighter planes.
The Japanese squadron leader then discovered that they were surrounded by a large group of enemy fighters.
The number of enemy fighter jets is so large that it is at least several times that of Japanese fighter jets.
It turns out that all this was arranged by Gao Jiu.
At this time, the air forces of various countries did not know that they could use aluminum foil fragments to interfere with radar. Gao Jiu arranged an aircraft to splash aluminum foil in the air to interfere with the Japanese radar, making it impossible for them to correctly judge the number of enemy aircraft.
In fact, these days, after each bomber takes off, a large number of fighter jets hover in their rear. Some of these fighters are from Taohuashan Guerrillas, and some are the non-Fox teams invited by Gao Jiu. It is precisely because of the interference of aluminum foil that conceals the existence of these fighters.
When the Japanese fighter planes found that there were only enemy bombers, they were angry and came to take revenge, and happened to be ambushed by the coalition forces' fighter planes.
In order to eliminate the Japanese fighter jets, Gao Jiu spent a lot of money and dispatched 108 fighter jets at once.
You should know that these fighter jets have huge expenses every day, and with the benefits to the non-Fox team members, Gao Jiu's rib bone was also hurt.
Due to the large number of fighter jets in the coalition forces and the advantageous position was occupied in advance, the battle had an absolute advantage from the beginning.
After fierce battles, the Japanese fighter jets were completely annihilated.
Gao Jiu received the report and immediately ordered the bombers left at the airport to take off and directly attack the Japanese fleet.
These days, in order to avoid scaring the Japanese naval fleet, bombers used small bombs of several pounds or dozens of pounds when bombing. This time, giant bombs weighing 623 kilograms were directly loaded on the bomber.
The Japanese fleet commander received a report of the fighter pilots being ambushed and felt something was wrong.
When he couldn't contact the pilots, he knew that these fighters could not come back.
He was a man with rich combat experience, and he immediately thought that the enemy might send bombers to attack his fleet.
He immediately notified the fleet to set sail and head out to the outer sea.
In order to reinforce Yamashita Fengwen, the Japanese fleet has always stayed on the sea near Kuala Lumpur, and has remained in a state of shutdown in order to save fuel.
If you want to restart, you will not be able to do it at all.
Just as they were in a hurry, a large number of bombers appeared in the sky and rushed towards the Japanese fleet.
The Japanese officers and soldiers were well-trained and saw bombers flying over. They controlled anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns from the warships and opened fire violently into the sky.
In front of a Japanese aircraft carrier, there was a destroyer. They knocked down a flying bomber, and the second bomber flew over.
