At 2 p.m. on September 7, the southeastern airport of Luga City.

Chen Dao finally waited for a key telegram, and two infantry regiments under the 30th Infantry Division advanced to the towns of Kirovsk and Siniavino on the banks of the Neva River.

"Very good, our last battle today has finally arrived, let the Secker and Moltke attack."

The Secette and Moltke are the names of the Secette-class aircraft carriers, No. 1 and No. 2.

In the design of the German Navy, the Seccot class aircraft carrier is a large aircraft carrier with a beveled deck and a displacement of 45,000 tons. The number of carrier-based aircraft carriers reaches the number of two Zeppelin-class aircraft carriers.

With Chen Dao's order, two hundred and fifty-six aircraft took off from two airports around Luga City, and formed two groups of aircraft in the sky and rushed towards Lake Radoga, with the targets pointing directly to the "USS Kirovsk" and "USS Siniavino".

In the southern suburbs of Siniavino town, a German captain waved his hand and stopped the No. 3 assault gun behind him, and then climbed onto the roof of the car with his hands and feet.

Standing on the roof of the car, the captain looked north with a telescope.

A faint light flashed in the telescope, and there was no sight at all.

"I saw Lake Ladoga." The captain said to the commander of the No. 3 assault gun.

"Let's work harder and try to take a shower at Lake Ladoga tonight." The commander said with a smile.

The town of Siniavino is only two kilometers north of Lake Ladoga and three kilometers northwest of Fort Slisheli, which is the last barrier of Fort Slisheli.

The entire town is long from east to west and narrow from north to south. The road leading to Fort Shlisheli passes through the town.

When the sky in the southwest direction flashed in black spots and the noise of the aircraft engine shocked the eardrums of the German infantry, the green smoke bombs fell in time to the town of Siniavino.

The aircraft formation attached to the USS Secette aircraft carrier saw the agreed green smoke and then scattered.

The dive bomber formation launched dive bombing from the east, and the torpedo attack aircraft formation launched an attack from the south.

The fighter formation rushed to the sky in the northwest, and a team of Soviet Air Force fighters were approaching the battlefield from that direction.

The war instantly burned from the sky to the earth, with 250 kilograms, 500 kilograms and 1,000 kilograms of bombs covering the town of Siniavino.

Wherever the flames and shock waves burst out from the bombshell passed, the buildings were shattered like biscuits hit by heavy punches.

After the brutal bombing, the raised buildings disappeared, replacing the sunken crater.

In the bushes outside the town, alongside drainage ditches on both sides of the highway, German infantry hid inside, excitedly observing the performances of the bombers.

When the last bomber dropped the bomb and turned around and left, the German infantry were surprised to find that the explosion in the town did not stop, but continued.

With the explosion, dirt and rubble were thrown into the sky from time to time in the northwest corner of the town.

"It's an ammunition depot, it must be the Russian ammunition depot that was detonated."

The infantry experienced the source of the explosion and then chose to launch an attack from the east far away from the Soviet ammunition depot.

The battle in the sky was in full swing, and the fighter jets on both sides chased and circled each other, shooting machine cannons and machine guns at each other.

Soviet fighters tried to use their excellent low-altitude steering capabilities to pull German fighters into dog fights, but found that German fighters were not fooled, but instead used their high-speed advantage to get rid of the entanglement of Soviet fighters.

The German fighter jets, which had the advantage in numbers, quickly gained an overwhelming advantage. However, in the northwest, a group of Soviet fighter jets still rushed to the battlefield and joined this impossible battle.

From time to time, fighter jets and bombers from both sides were shot down. When white parachute flowers fell to the ground, German infantry would soon rush to their side in a seat motorcycle or an armored vehicle.

German pilots were given gifts to nearby airports, while Soviet pilots were given gifts to prisoners of war camps.

At around 3:20 pm, Chen Dao received a report that the bombers and torpedo attack aircraft pilots on the aircraft carriers of the Sekt and the Moltke returned one after another, and the fighter pilots continued to stay over the battlefield and fought with the Soviet army.

"It's very good, it's necessary to maintain this intensity of battle and lure them all out and eliminate them. Let the Fifty-four combat aviation regiment and Yin Maiman dive bomber wing attack, bomb Shlisheli Fort, continue to put pressure on them, and never stop until dark." Chen Dao gave the order decisively.

After receiving the order, the Fifty-four Combat Aviation Regiment numbered jg54 and the Inmaiman dive bomber wing numbered stg2 took off one after another, rushed to Fort Shlisheli on the shore of Lake Radoga, and pressed the victory balance of the air battle against the German side.

The attack on the direction of Lake Ladoga was to cut off the connection between the Soviet Leningrad Front and Volkhov Front. For Chen Dao, it was not just a cooperation with the army's bombing operation, but instead seduced the Leningrad Front's air force and annihilated it, reducing the pressure for future air strikes on the Baltic fleet.

After Chen Dao discussed with General Coral, the First Air Force commanded by General Coral was responsible for dealing with the Soviet Air Force of Volkhov's Front.

The naval aviation force commanded by Chen Dao, with two wings, jg54 and stg2, was responsible for luring and killing the Leningrad Front's air force.

On September 7, the battle in the sky on the shore of Lake Ladoga continued until the evening of that day.

In order to protect the lifeline of Leningrad, the Leningrad Front’s air force entered the battlefield one after another with the spirit of moths to the flames. It was then shattered in the strangulation battle, but it still could not stop the German army from advancing.

In the evening of that day, the 30th infantry division successively captured Kirovsk and Siniavino and advanced to the outskirts of Shlisheli Fort.

That night, Chen Dao waited for the battle report on September 7th.

The Navy Air Force and two regiments, JG54 and Stg2, bombed four Soviet towns, and cooperated with the 30th Infantry Division to capture Kirovsk, Desovo and Siniavino.

The result of the air combat was that the naval aviation was shot down fighter jets, bombers and torpedo attack aircraft.

Of the seventy-four pilots, 31 were killed or missing. Among the 43 pilots who parachuted into the German-controlled area, 11 were injured and were temporarily unable to participate in the subsequent battle.

On the contrary, among the results submitted by the Navy Aviation Army, a total of 212 Soviet aircraft were shot down, plus 57 shot down by the JG54 Wing, a total of 269 aircraft.

After reading the report, Chen Dao said to Major General Hessman: "Today's results are very gratifying. If we can always maintain this battle-loss ratio, our air force will soon rule the sky in Russia. Tomorrow is the launch date of the general attack on Leningrad. We will do our real work and replace the torpedo attack aircraft with a torpedo hanger."

"We are changing our equipment and we can set off on time tomorrow," said Major General Hessman.

"In tomorrow's battle, the jg54 United will not participate. They and the main force of Inmaiman United will continue to put pressure on the Russians in the direction of Lake Radoga, and cooperate with the army to occupy Fort Shricheli. A brigade of Inmaiman dive bomber wing will strengthen us and launch an air strike against the Baltic Fleet together. Remember to do a good job of coordination."
