readx; There are faint clouds over the Bohai Bay in the early morning, you can see the red early sun on the edge of the sky through the clouds, the sky over the Bohai Bay that should have been calm is not very calm this morning, the buzzing and piercing roar resounded throughout the sky, and I saw a large group of black dots galloping from Yuan Fang, the group crossed the clouds, and went from south to north in a dazzling pattern, and the five-colored stars on the fuselage exuded brilliant brilliance under the shadow of the early sun.

Huang Feihang sat on his B4 bomber, he was the captain of the 2nd Fighter Squadron before the reunification of China in 1915, and after the reunification, he also took the opportunity to ascend to the throne of the first wing of the Air Force, and his military rank was also promoted to the rank of major general. The military rank of the pilot in the air force is generally on the large side, the pilot of the ordinary two-plane wingman is generally a lieutenant, the captain of the long plane is a captain, and the leader of the four-plane squadron is already a major, and the squadron leader of the sixteen-plane squadron is a lieutenant colonel or colonel. In the early years, the rank of wing commander was the rank of major general, but with the expansion of the air force, in order to limit the number of generals, it was limited to the rank of colonel. Huang Feihang's rank of major general as a senior wing commander is a special case, and his qualifications and military rank are also important reasons why he became the front-line commander of the air raid on Lushun.

In this air raid operation, the first wing under his command attacked as the first wave of air raids on Lushun, and he was also the commander-in-chief of the front line of the air raid operation. Moreover, if this operation can be successful, then this operation will become the most glorious moment of his more than ten years in the military.

As for whether it would fail, he never thought about it!

Because he is not young and his experience is not as good as before, Huang Feihang, who was born as a fighter pilot, did not choose to fly his own aircraft in this operation as before, because a large number of main fighters in the national army are still F1 fighters, and the surname Neng is already relatively backward. However, the latest cutting-edge F2 all-metal fighter of the Chinese Air Force and the Navy's units only began to equip the troops in the second half of last year, and only three squadrons have been in service so far. In addition, he was the front-line commander of these operations, and he needed to stay in the skies over Arthur for a long time and need to use radio to direct operations, so he gave up his car and chose a B4 bomber with radio equipment as his command aircraft.

In these years, the planes had no sound insulation measures, and even the cabin was not sealed, and the planes at an altitude of thousands of meters, including Huang Feihang, were wearing thick clothes, and the two engines on the wings on both sides of the B4 bomber made a huge roar that tortured the people on the plane all the time, and in this huge roar, there was a constant sound of radio ticking. After reading the telegram, Huang Feihang shouted loudly: "Send a scheduled combat signal to the Fourth and Fifth Wings in the north, as well as the Seventh Wing, the Eighth Wing, and the HNA Wing in the rear!" ”

The telegram in Huang Feihang's hand was sent from the Weihaiwei base, and the content of it was the latest information transmitted back by the intelligence officers lurking in Lushun: Everything is business as usual in Lushun Port!

This means that the secrecy of this air raid operation has been put in place, and there has been no leakage of secrets.

At 7:15 a.m., the first wave of the air raid on Lushun was less than 20 kilometers away from the outer harbor of Lushun.

At first, he was still stunned, but then he reacted and shouted: "Plane, plane!" ”

Taro Okada, the captain of the Maru destroyer, hurriedly pulled out of the captain's room, and then the first mate pointed to the sky and said to him, "Planes, a lot of that person's planes!" ”

Why are the lookouts and first mates of the Honmaru so sure that the black spots in the sky are Chinese planes, because the army air force and the navy air force of the Ben together do not have two hundred planes, and most of them are deployed in China, and there are only a dozen of them in Lushun. And there are no air bases of the great powers around Lushun, so the large-scale aircraft groups that can appear in the sky over Lushun can only be Chinese.

The appearance of Chinese planes over Lushun is nothing new; whether before or after the war, the Chinese Air Force's reconnaissance planes came to Lushun almost every day to conduct reconnaissance, but they were all small-scale operations of one or two. But the captain of the Maruyu, Taro Okada, did not understand that even if the Chinese wanted to conduct aerial reconnaissance, they would not need to dispatch dozens of planes, right?

Close "Prepare for anti-aircraft combat!" Although he knew that the target of these planes was unlikely to be himself, Taro Okada still ordered the sailors to enter combat positions and prepare for air defense operations.

As Okada had imagined, the Chinese planes did not see the destroyer on the sea, but directly passed them and continued to the north.

At this time, Taro Okada also put his mind at ease and said: "Send a report to Lushun, just say that a large number of China's planes are heading in the direction of Lushun, please make the necessary air defense preparations!" ”

It can be said that Okada Taro has fulfilled his responsibilities and obligations, as an outpost reconnaissance ship, his original task was only to reconnoiter the Chinese warships and prevent the Chinese fleet from appearing from unknown corners, you must know that China's two battleships and a large number of warships had formed a task force a few days ago and left the Shanghai naval base, and the news of the departure of the Chinese task force from Shanghai was not concealed and could not be concealed, so it was said that 'this navy was very nervous as soon as it got the news. Their main naval force has been divided into several battle fleets to search for this Chinese task force in the Yellow Sea, East China Sea and other waters, and at the same time, it is also to guard against the Chinese task force to attack the sea supply line from Ben to Arthur and Korea. It's just that I know that China's task force has gone to sea, but now that this task force is there, what is the combat goal, except for a few high-ranking Chinese naval officials such as Chen Jingyun and Sa Zhenbing, let alone "myself, even other high-ranking officials on the Chinese side, including a large number of generals, do not know the specific situation of this task force."

Taro Okada's main task is naturally to look outside Lushun, and if he finds the main force of the Chinese Navy, he will give an early warning to Lushun. Now the warships of the Chinese Navy did not find them, but they found the many planes in the sky.

After sending the news back by radiograph, Taro Okada ignored it and was ready to continue his outpost reconnaissance mission, forgetting to ask the telegraph operator if he had received a call back from Lushun. And ten minutes later, a large number of black spots appeared in the southern sky again, and this time there were more Chinese planes, Okada Taro looked at the black pressure of the planes in the sky, and was secretly shocked: "I am afraid that there are two hundred planes in this batch, plus the previous batch, that is more than two hundred and fifty planes, what is the Chinese Air Force doing with so many planes at the same time?" ”

As a traditional naval officer, Okada's thinking has its own limitations, although he knows that the role of aircraft is not small, but like everyone else, he still limits the role of aircraft to reconnaissance, although countries in the European battlefield have built tens of thousands of planes, but there is no example of relying on aircraft to change the situation of war.

Although he did not understand, he still maintained the officer's sense of responsibility, so he immediately ordered to send an alert to Lushun, saying that more than 200 planes were flying to Lushun, and after the telegram was sent, he asked: "Did you receive a telegram from Lushun just now?" ”

The telegraph operator shook his head: "No! ”

"What's going on? How could it be that Lushun didn't have a power recovery? Okada Taro was puzzled, he had also sent several alerts from Chinese planes to reconnoiter before, and then Lushun would reply to him, but why didn't he call back this time?

At this time, Okada Taro pondered, and a soldier's intuition told him: Something happened to Lushun!

And what he didn't know was that his alert was not received by Lushun at all, or rather, Lushun's telegraph room received it but did not pass it on at all.

At 7:18, three minutes after the Maru discovered the Chinese fleet, this warning telegram had already appeared in the telegraph room of the Lushun Army, and one of the officers on duty at that time said, "Major Ben also attached great importance to this news after seeing it, and immediately took the telegram to report to the Lushun Headquarters, but he felt a huge pain in his stomach before he went out, and immediately it was as if his adjutant had sent this telegram to the headquarters, and the adjutant did not know the content of the telegram, so he was a little lazy. After being on duty all night, he didn't go to the headquarters after going out, but was going to go back to his residence first, preparing to take a shower, change his clothes first, and then go to the headquarters.

Just as he was going back to his residence, at 7:21 a.m., Huang Feihang's first wing, which was the first wave of the air raid, had already flown over Lushun.

Huang Feihang looked at Lushun below, and then pressed the maneuver in his heart: "Send a signal to each squadron and act according to the predetermined plan!" ”

Through signals such as lights and swinging wings, combat orders were quickly issued, and then the four squadrons, including two F2 fighter squadrons and two B4 bomber squadrons, began to follow the first wave of attack groups in order to smoothly sweep Lushun's air force aircraft and ground air defense firepower, all of which were currently China's most advanced F2 fighters and B4 bombers. A large number of bombers in the rear, consisting of B3 bombers and even E1 reconnaissance planes with bombs, arrived at Lushun and dropped bombs on a large scale.

With the issuance of the combat order, more than 60 planes quickly lowered their altitude and flew quickly according to the predetermined combat objectives, and at this time, the F2 fighters of the two squadrons were already playing the role of dive bombers, using machine guns and carrying 50-kilogram aerial bombs to carry out high-speed dive precision bombing. Although China has not been able to come up with a carrier-based dive bomber that can carry heavy armor-piercing aerial bombs up to several hundred kilograms in height, the theory of dive bombing is quite mature, and it has carried out dive bombing tests using the all-metal mechanism and flexible surname of the F2 fighter, and has achieved good ground support results.

Although the dive bombing of F2 fighters can only be strafed with machine guns or aerial bombs with 50 kilograms, and this power cannot pose any lethal threat to warships, the problem of accurately hitting the enemy's anti-aircraft fire points is still not a big problem.

Ten minutes later, the B4 bombers in the first wave of the attack group began to return after dropping bombs, and at this time there was a larger group of planes over Lushun, mainly composed of B3 bombers, the bomber group flew over the whole area, and put a series of bombs at this time, Lushun has turned into a sea of fire, followed by the air force bomber group, the two torpedo bomber squadrons of the Hainan Airlines also took advantage of the chaos on the ground and the sky everywhere, and quietly dropped torpedoes on the port of Arthur said, "This fleet has dropped torpedoes!"
