The setting sun burns like fire, burning the sky red, the ground red, the mountains and trees, and the ocean red. The setting sun shines thousands of golden lights on the sea water, making everyone feel

It's like rippling on the golden light./.qb5,/

The sunset is beautiful, but for the pilots flying the plane, they are a little annoyed because of this beautiful sunset.

"You won't be late!"

Almost everyone will have such thoughts. For the pilots of the air force, they know that this may be the last attack they can launch today.

After today there is tomorrow, but what is the effect of the surprise attack?

By then, the effect of the surprise attack will no longer be there!

As the captain of the aviation force, Zhu Binhou knows better than anyone else that now that the communication jammer has returned and the Japanese army's communications have been restored, this means that the Japanese fleet may be able to obtain the result at any time.

After hearing this news and escaping with the help of the coming night, it was already too late.

The first battle force, with its main force intact, can once again threaten China's coastal cities and external shipping at any time. By then, even the air force's mobilization along the coastal provinces will be exhausted.

"The battle must be successful!"

In a hurry, he conveyed new orders through the radio station Zhu Binhou.

accelerate!

As this huge aircraft formation divided into three levels, upper, middle and lower, accelerated towards the target sea area, a smaller aircraft formation, dozens of kilometers away in the opposite direction, also accelerated and flew southward, thirty kilometers away.

The formation of six aircraft does not look very spectacular, but it is still a formation with extremely powerful attack capabilities. Thirty-six torpedoes, based on the ideal hit rate of four to one, mean that this small

The formation can sink eight battleships.

"I really don't know how long it will take!"

While talking to himself, Zhu Xiang looked anxiously towards the western skyline. The sun was about to set at this time, and the sunset reflected the sky and sea red. This beautiful and spectacular sunset was so hateful in his eyes.

.

Damn it, it’s too early to go down the mountain today!

While he was muttering in his mind, he saw what seemed to be a few black smokes on the distant horizon. When he took a closer look, it was yes! It was a fleet! When he got closer, he saw that there was actually something on the sea.

The white tracks dragged by hundreds of ships. In Asia, except Japan, who else has such a huge fleet.

"What a bunch of idiots!"

As the merchant ship sailed towards the coast, Kiyokawa Zehei cursed.

As an army captain, he has a very hot temper. Because of this, his soldiers secretly call him "Ghost Captain". He is not ashamed of this, but is proud of it. In his opinion, this is

The soldiers praised him for his harsh style.

However, this time, on this unknown coast, the army lost nearly a thousand people, which really annoyed him. This was simply a group of cowards commanded by extremely incompetent officers.

"They are truly a bunch of cowards from the Hirosaki Division!"

His tone was extremely contemptuous. Unlike the Eighth Division, the Sixth Division was the real elite of the Japanese army and one of the six original divisions established in Japan. The Sixth Division was established in Kumamoto, Kyushu. The people of Kyushu were poor.

However, the people are fond of fighting, and men in Kyushu have always considered joining the army as a way out. There is a saying in Japan.

"The Japanese soldiers are the best in the world, and the Japanese soldiers from Kyushu are the best!"

It is this kind of arrogance that makes the entire Sixth Division, from top to bottom, feel that as soon as the Sixth Division lands ashore, just one Sixth Division can reach Beijing, and in the plan of the military headquarters

, the Sixth Division really has to shoulder a heavy responsibility, so there is no landing mission for them. Now that the landing is completed, the only thing left is to expand the results and advance inland. This is what the Sixth Division is best at.

With a complacent look on his face, Kiyokawa Zehei stood on an empty box containing bullets. The bullets in the box had been distributed to the soldiers. Because of the landing operations, each soldier did not only carry the standard 120 rounds.

Bullets, considering logistical factors, each soldier received an additional 60 rounds of bullets, which is enough to support the coming battle.

"Everyone,"

As soon as his voice fell, the soldiers standing on the deck immediately screamed and stood at attention. They had long been accustomed to the cruelty of this "ghost captain" and were even numb. This reaction was mostly out of instinct, for fear of being "ghost captain".

"Captain" discovered that there was something wrong with his military appearance and beat everyone up.

"I have always believed that our Sixth Division is Japan's most powerful army division. That's why we will take on the task of attacking the interior of China and expanding our results. Not only will we be the final victor,

We will also open up a brand new world for the Japanese Empire on this continent occupied by inferior pig-tail slaves."

While Kiyokawa Zehei was delivering a speech, a steady stream of soldiers from the Eighth Division landed on sampans towed by motor boats. Although it had only been half an hour, thousands of Japanese soldiers had already landed in China.

land, and more Japanese soldiers were disembarking from merchant ships.

"I swear to all of you that I will definitely lead everyone forward and open up a new world for Japan on the mainland!!"

"Break new ground for Japan!!"

"We solemnly swear that we will open up a new world for the Japanese Empire!"

When the soldiers took the oath, reporter Nishino Soichi had already stepped onto the deck. After witnessing the soldiers and junior officers disembarking from the ship one by one along the climbing net on the side, they then took a small boat on the yellow sea by a traffic boat.

Dragging towards the mainland, now it all begins!

As an Asianist, he felt that he had seen that with the help of Japan, after China established a government dominated by the revolutionary party, they became Japan's closest allies. In the end, under Japan's leadership, Japan relied on China

Resources, manpower, defeating those Western countries, and it will all start here.

"Soon, we will hit the interior of China from here. The Longhai Railway has been built to Henan and will even enter Shaanxi Province soon. Our troops will follow the railway in China and help the revolutionary party occupy the entire country!

"

The person who spoke was a young lieutenant. He had a cigarette in his mouth and was leaning on the railing. He had a child's face with a slight smile on his face.

"Hey, Lieutenant Ishihara,"

Nishino greeted Lieutenant Ishihara Wanji next to him. He was the captain of the first infantry squadron of the 2nd Battalion of the 32nd Regiment of the 8th Division. He was very smart, and it was for this reason that the two of them established a friendship on the ship.

A relatively deep friendship.

On the ship, he once heard Ishihara mention an old incident three years ago. Deep down in his heart, Ishihara Wan'er sympathized very much with China, which also belongs to East Asia. This sympathy was completely different from that of North Korea. In his opinion, North Korea

It is a "place" that is not qualified to be called a country, but he has extremely complicated feelings about China. Three years ago, during the Revolution of 1911, he happened to be living in Chunchuan, North Korea. At that time, he heard about the Wuchang Uprising.

When news of the success came, and when the title "Republic of China" was shouted out, he took a small group of soldiers in his hand to a mountain, and then fired a gun into the sky. All the people above were crying and shouting,

It is "Long live the Republic of China".

Because in his heart, he felt that China and Japan actually had a sense of unity in destiny. He felt that if this people of color had only one Japan, it would definitely be annexed and eliminated by the Western powers. If China

Like Japan, it has risen, so Japan has someone to rely on.

However, after the Revolution of 1911, the current situation in China made Ishihara Wanji very disappointed, especially the suppression of the revolutionary parties by the Chinese central government. Those revolutionary parties had a friendly attitude towards Japan, but Yuan Shikai and other Beiyang officials who controlled the central government did not

He holds a "pro-British and American" attitude and is extremely wary of Japan, which cannot help but disappoint him.

China, which rose after achieving national independence, did not become an ally of Japan. Instead, it became a friend of the Westerners and might even become an enemy of Japan. Disappointed, he naturally hoped to help the revolutionary party regain power.

"Would it be a little sad to attack China now?"

Nishino's words stunned Ishihara Wanji. Then he looked at the coast less than a kilometer away, threw the cigarette in his hand into the sea, stood still, and then said while holding the railing with both hands.

"It's sad for sure, but..."

Ishihara smiled and murmured the reasons. He said.

"This war is not only related to Japan, but also related to the future of China. If China and Japan form an alliance or even a union, then in the future, Westerners will no longer dare to look down on us East Asians!"

While speaking, he slapped the railing hard, then looked at the mainland without saying a word. Nishino nodded and looked into the sky with some boredom. Suddenly, a group of black spots in the sky attracted his attention.

force.

"Look, it's a China plane!"

"Team Three follow me!"

While pressing down the control stick, Zhu Xiang issued the order. When he was still nearly two kilometers away from the "Hanoi", he led three aircraft and flew towards the "Hanoi" battleship. Thirty-six aircraft formed a nine-kilometer formation.

There are four attack teams. The first wave of attacks is from four of the attack teams. They respectively attack the four battleships "Settsu", "Kawachi", "An Yun" and "Satsuma" belonging to the first team. This is

The primary goal of the air force.

"China plane!"

As the plane flew towards the battleship, the Japanese soldiers on the sampans towed by motorboats on the sea shouted loudly. When the plane flew over their heads, many soldiers' caps were caught by the propeller.

The rising wind blew them down, and the soldiers screamed and shook their caps. This was the first time they saw a China plane at such a close distance.

Zhu Xiangcai, who was intently aiming at the battleship "Hanoi", did not notice the panic of the Japanese soldiers on the sampans on the sea, nor did he hear their screams. Instead, he concentrated on flying the plane in the hope of being unable to escape. Throw torpedoes at close range.

"The plane flew towards the battleship!"

"Look, below the plane,..."

"It's a bomb!"

"There is a bomb on the China plane!"

Since the flying height of the aircraft was only a dozen meters, the Japanese soldiers on the sampan could clearly see the torpedoes hanging under the cabin of the aircraft flying at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour. They may not recognize the torpedoes, but their intuition told them that it would It's a bomb.

"Quick, rifle! Shoot the plane!"

While the sergeant on one sampan was shouting loudly, he loaded his rifle and pulled the trigger to shoot at the plane. After a while, almost every Japanese soldier on the sampan was a Japanese soldier holding a rifle and shooting at the plane. At this time, most of the aircraft were approaching the battleship clumsily and dangerously close to the sea surface, and most of them were at a height of about ten meters.

Bullets hit the plane from time to time, and the sound of the bullet colliding with the steel plate was even heard. But Zhu Xiangcai didn't care at all. When he got closer, he could already see the Japanese sailors running on the battleship "Hanoi". They had already begun to operate the small cannon. At the moment when the muzzles of the rapid-fire small-caliber cannons spit out smoke clouds, he decisively dropped the torpedo. The moment the torpedo was dropped and the fuselage suddenly lightened, he pulled up the plane with all his strength and Avoiding random gunfire on the sea, maybe most of those bullets were not accurate, but the fact that the plane had been hit still forced him to deal with it carefully. While he pulled up the plane, he looked towards the sea again. Ten meters in front of the torpedo throwing position, a clearly identifiable track appeared. The torpedo tail was flying straight towards the "Hanoi". At this time, the other three attack teams also began to launch torpedoes according to the area sector method. Compared with the Lianyungang Corps, the Qingdao Air Force has been practicing this kind of formation attack for a long time in the past to improve its hit rate.
