The wind and waves are calm, the sea and sky are colorful, and the visibility is excellent.

Eighteen "Wasp" fighters flew in from the southwest, divided into three groups, each forming a "man" shape, and lined up at an altitude of 500 meters above the sea surface, 50 meters apart, cruising at a speed of nearly 180 kilometers per hour.

The Wasp is the latest single-engine fighter manufactured by China's Wuhan Aircraft Factory, and since it was designed with multiple uses in mind, it can be used in army aviation with wheels in mind. It can also be equipped with pontoons for use as seaplanes of naval aviation, and the "Wasp" fighter is equipped with a domestically produced high-horsepower water-cooled in-line gasoline engine, with a maximum speed of 210 kilometers per hour. The ceiling is 6,000 meters, and the main armament is two 7.9mm aviation machine guns in the nose, which are air-cooled machine guns fed by drums. Since the Hanyang Arsenal has specially developed a "shooting coordinator" for this type of fighter. "Thus, the two aviation machine guns mounted in the nose were not affected by the rotation of the propeller, and the projectiles fired by the machine guns could fly through the gaps in the propellers.

In addition to the aviation machine gun, because the two nose landing gears of the "Wasp" fighter are respectively installed near the wing root fuselage of the left and right wings, this fighter can also carry a 20-kilogram small bomb under the belly, and with the rough sight behind the cockpit windshield, this fighter can also carry out small-angle dive bombing at a specific altitude, without affecting the aircraft's flight safety. The accuracy of bomb delivery can basically meet the tactical requirements.

Now, these eighteen "Wasps." The fighter jets are already fully armed and rushing towards the northeast with great momentum, which is actually a fighter squadron of the Chinese Air Force, codenamed "Tianniu". "The supreme commander is Meng Fei, with the rank of brigadier general, who is not only the squadron leader of the squadron "Tianniu, but also the supreme commander of the fighter wing of the Air Force task force.

"The Skybull. The squadron has three detachments, namely the first detachment, the second detachment, and the third detachment, and these three detachments are arranged in order of echelons, and Meng Fei is in the fighter at the forefront of the first detachment. Therefore, his plane was also the first of the eighteen "Wasp" fighters, and if he controlled the flight right to swing the wings, all the pilots behind him could see his commands.

Due to the light weight of the fighter and the limited volume of the aircraft, it is impossible to install a radio station, and all air combat orders can only be transmitted by swinging the wings or firing signal flares, but because this way of transmitting orders is relatively clumsy, in most cases, it still depends on the pilots' usual practice and tacit understanding.

As a veteran of the Chinese Air Force, Meng Fei has never relaxed his combat training, even when he was studying in Germany. He also tried to take part in flight training, in terms of flight hours, there is no pilot in the current Chinese air force unit who can surpass him, as for the group of pilots under his command, they are also carefully selected top pilots, it can be said that this attack on the Japanese bases in Lushun and Dalian, "Tianniu." It's full of confidence. All the pilots left a letter of determination before they took off, and it was their belief that if they didn't succeed, they would succeed.

"The Skybull. The squadron flew from Daqin Island in the Bohai Sea, and was now not far from the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, and behind them was the main group of aircraft of China's "Air Force Task Force." They will follow the "lightning scheme" developed by the General Staff. Carried out air assaults on Japanese military bases and military port targets in Lushun, Dalian and other places. Kick off this war with the flash of a bomb.

"The Skybull. The squadron flew much faster than the follow-up troops. Therefore, they were positioned farther forward than the main group at the rear, and from the position of the squadron "Tianniu, the No. 1" could not see the group of bombers behind. According to the time estimate, the concubine force behind arrived here, and it would take about five minutes to get to the position. According to the predetermined scheme, after approaching the target airspace, "Tianniu, No. Will wait for the arrival of bomber units. In order to achieve the suddenness of the attack.

"The Skybull. The squadron is tasked with guarding the outposts, shooting down enemy aircraft mercilessly if they spot, and turning a blind eye if they encounter the main force of the enemy fleet, their attention is mainly in the sky.

Now, Meng Fei was sitting in his landline, twisting his head around constantly, looking at the sky in front of him through the gaps in those poles and lines, although the vision was not very good, but at this height. Whether it's a target on the surface of the sea or a target in the sky. couldn't escape Meng Fei's eyes.

Ahead, the land of the Liaodong Peninsula was already in sight, and just above the sea surface below the left of the wings, an island appeared, and after identification, Meng Fei judged that this island was Tieshan Island, an uninhabited island at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula.

The route is correct. All that's left is to fly to the coastline, then fly all the way north along the coastline, and then fly a dozen kilometers to see the Port of Arthur.

Meng Fei controlled the plane's Lajian book, which was concave and said that Di Shan's different body clams, said that reading was treacherous. The plane shook its wings a few times. The pilots who followed him were motioned to strengthen their guards. According to the pre-war aerial reconnaissance, Hiki's "Kwantung Army." There are outposts in the coastal areas of the Liaodong Peninsula, and although there are no airfields in the southern areas, no one dares to be careless, and China has already issued an ultimatum to Japan a few hours ago, and Japanese fighter planes may not appear in this airspace.

After a minute, Meng Fei repeated the order to "strengthen vigilance" again, and then glanced at the fuel indicator, which had just been refueled at the logistics base on Daqin Island, and the fighters were enough to ensure sufficient time in the air over Lushunkou and Dalian Bay, and once the Japanese fighters came, the first detachment would first drop the bombs and rush to meet them.

However, the Japanese fighter that Meng Fei was looking forward to never appeared, which made him very depressed, in order to shorten the time for the follow-up troops to catch up. He decided to slow down, and so, "The Skybull." The flight speed of the squadron quickly decreased to a hundred kilometers per hour.

After flying along the coastline of the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula for a few minutes, Meng Fei suddenly found two black dots flying from the sea in the northeast direction, the altitude was two hundred meters lower than that of the "Tianniu" squadron, and he quickly judged that they were two planes, about two kilometers away from the "Tianniu" squadron, perhaps because of the sea background, he did not find these two planes at a long distance.

Meng Fei made a decision, shook his wings, and sent a signal to the team members to "find a suspicious target", and then, as soon as he pressed the control stick and increased the throttle at the same time, he immediately led the six "Wasps" of the first detachment to pounce on the two uninvited guests, and after the first detachment left, the second detachment and the third detachment immediately dispersed, circled and climbed to the high altitude in a combat formation, and stayed in this posture to provide high-altitude alert for the squadron leader.

Six "Wasps." It soon reached a maximum speed of 210 kilometers per hour, maintained an altitude of 500 meters, and was divided into three combat groups, with the leader in front and the wingman in the rear, 20 meters apart.

The two planes on the other side apparently did not detect the six "Wasps" on their heads. "Still maintaining the original course, flying in the direction of the coast in a daze, the altitude is still maintained at two hundred meters, and no maneuvering is made.

Meng Fei poked his head out and looked at the two planes, and at a distance of a hundred meters, he recognized the models of the two planes. It was a "Falman" seaplane, which China did not equip with this kind of aircraft, but the Japanese army did equip some of them, and moreover, the sun flag was painted on the vertical tail of those two planes, and there is no doubt that these were two seaplanes of the Japanese Navy.

Looking at the two Japanese seaplanes that had been thrown under the tail of the "Wasp" detachment, Meng Fei grinned, did not wait for any order, pressed the control stick, directly turned over with a harrier, and controlled the fighter to a beautiful sideways slide down, seeing that the long plane made a maneuver, the wingman could only follow the same maneuver, at the same time, the other four "Wasp" also pounced, and the pilots all understood that the wing commander was planning to attack.

Meng Fei piloted his "Wasp" fighter jet into the attack route very quickly, and due to the limited altitude, he opened fire almost the moment he entered the attack route.

"Tart tart bark," tart throat tart

The two aviation machine guns above the nose immediately roared, spewing out long tongues of fire, and two strings of tracer incendiary bombs passed through the gap of the high-speed rotating propellers, pulled out a string of red bands of light in the sky, and accurately hit the nose of the "Falman" seaplane on the left.

In an instant, the originally calm sea suddenly became murderous. After the seaplane was hit and smoked, the pilot of the other "Falman" seaplane realized the danger, and from the flash just now, he realized that the attack was coming from a high altitude and that it was likely to have bitten his tail, so the Japanese pilot quickly maneuvered the plane to slide to the right in an attempt to get rid of the attacker.

The maneuver of the Japanese pilot did have some effect, and Meng Fei's second shot failed to hit the target, considering that his "Wasp" was too close to the sea, so Meng Fei could only quickly swing his wings, notify the team members to "fire freely", and then, with a pull of the control stick, quickly ended the plane's dive maneuver, and withdrew from the attack route.

However, in a short period of time, the altitude of Meng Fei's "Wasp" dropped to 200 meters, and because it deviated from the attack route, he could only fly the plane to choose a new attack position, and at the same time watched the five "Wasp" fighters surround the lone "Valman" seaplane.
