"Qiuqiuqiu..." Sharp and ear-piercing whistling sounds rang out, covering the entire sky above Lushun.

Heavy aerial bombs fell one after another, and the entire Lushun Military Port was suddenly in chaos.

The transport ships that were transporting supplies and soldiers to the dock started to move one after another, trying to turn around and escape.

The Japanese soldiers who had already landed on the dock and the heavy soldiers carrying supplies were running around to avoid them.

"Boom...boom...boom, boom, boom..." As the first aerial bomb fell and exploded, huge and ear-splitting explosions sounded one after another.

The violent explosion on the water set off terrifying waves. Under the huge shock wave, the transport ships rolled over and entered the water. Some small landing craft at the center of the explosion were blown to pieces.

The shell fell onto the pier, igniting a roaring fire and a mushroom cloud.

The Japanese army worked hard to transport a large amount of military supplies from the mainland, which were destroyed in an instant. The Japanese soldiers who could not escape were instantly swallowed up by the fire, and no bones were left.

The entire Lushun Military Port was completely enveloped by the huge explosion. Everyone felt a buzzing and roaring in their ears, and the violent explosion made their eardrums hurt.

At this time, the Japanese army's anti-aircraft firepower points at the military port and Dalian City and the Stuka dive bombers of the Duli Division also engaged in a fierce strangled confrontation.

Although Japan does not have 88 anti-aircraft guns, it still has its own 13mm large-caliber anti-aircraft machine guns. Dozens of anti-aircraft machine guns fire at the same time, and their power cannot be underestimated.

A dense barrage of bullets crisscrossed the Stuka bomber trying to get ahead of it and shoot it down.

But few can achieve this. Although the speed of the Stuka dive bomber is slightly slower than that of the Zero, when it dives at a large angle, its speed will increase sharply compared with when flying parallel.

In this way, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower was like a whip, moving quickly as the Stuka flew past.

The bullet finally hit the air and almost formed a horizontal line.

As a sharp scream passed by, aerial bombs weighing 250 kilograms accurately landed on the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower points that were firing.

At an altitude of one thousand meters, the Stuka's accuracy varied by no more than fifteen meters.

Experienced pilots can even reduce the error to within five meters.

Within this range, the destructive power of the aerial bombs was enough to cause a devastating blow to the Japanese air defense firepower points.

After the violent explosion, the Japanese air defense fire points everywhere were covered in fire and thick smoke. After the smoke, they were in ruins.

Due to the huge overall performance gap between the two fighters, the Zero fighters flown by Liu Cuigang and Gao Zhihang quickly ended the battle and wiped out more than 20 Japanese fighter jets that took off to attack.

Afterwards, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang flew directly to the Dalian Airport of the Japanese Army with their comrades.

At this time, all the Japanese fighter jets that could fly were shot down. The air defense firepower of the airport was simply not enough to withstand the extremely fast and superior Zero Type.

Relying on their flexible mid- and low-altitude maneuverability, Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang easily evaded the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese military airport, and then destroyed it with the machine guns and machine guns they carried randomly.

After destroying the anti-aircraft firepower of the Japanese military airport, Gao Zhihang and other pilots began flying at ultra-low altitudes, and began carpet bombing and sweeping of the Japanese bombers, reconnaissance aircraft, and transport aircraft that had nowhere to escape on the airport.

The bombers parked on the tarmac were basically fully loaded with fuel and ammunition. After being hit, they exploded immediately.

The Zeros driven by Gao Zhihang and others were each equipped with two 60-kilogram small aerial bombs.

Under such a devastating combination of bombing and explosives, the entire airport quickly turned into a sea of ​​flames.

More than a hundred fighters and bombers that Japan had just brought from the mainland were all destroyed.

The Dalian Airport was completely paralyzed, and the aviation building was collapsed by the shock wave generated by the distant explosion.

After destroying the Japanese army's airport, 25 Zeros, led by Gao Zhihang and Liu Cuigang, were divided into two groups to support the He111 bombers that were bombing the Lushun military port, and to conduct air strikes on areas that might be the Japanese army's headquarters.

.

At this time, under the threat of huge air strikes, the anti-aircraft firepower on the Japanese navy ships had opened fire.

However, it has little effect on the He111 bombers that carry out horizontal bombing at high altitudes.

Aerial bombs are still falling from high altitudes in a free way.

The heavy losses of the Japanese army continue.

Several large-tonnage ships have suffered varying degrees of damage, and the situation is extremely critical.

At this moment, extremely fast Zero fighter groups and Stuka dive bombers joined the battlefield one after another.

As a result, the pressure on the Japanese Navy suddenly increased, and the warships would not be able to withdraw for a while. After the Stuka bombers destroyed most of their shipboard anti-aircraft firepower.

More than 20 large and small ships anchored in Lushun Military Port have become lambs to be slaughtered.

This air raid, which could go down in history, finally ended after more than half an hour.

The mixed fleet of the Li Division Flying Group achieved brilliant results with the loss of only two Stuka bombers.

Of the more than 20 Japanese warships in Lushun Military Port, all were destroyed by intensive aerial bombardment, and half of them were seriously damaged and sank to the bottom of the sea as soon as the battle was over.

The other half was also blown up and smoke was everywhere, the power system was completely lost, and most of it was still flooded. It was only a matter of time before it sank.

In addition, they also destroyed Japanese airports, hundreds of aircraft of various types, and a large amount of military supplies.

It is impossible to calculate the casualties of the Japanese army, navy and army.

Half an hour after the air raid, the Japanese Kwantung Army in Lushun was in the secret room of the underground air defense bunker.

Kwantung Army Commander Nanjiro and several division commanders were all in shock and restless in a conference room, waiting anxiously for the report from the ground personnel.

Suddenly, a rush of footsteps broke the silence in the basement.

Nanjiro and others turned around when they heard the sound, only to see senior staff officer Ishihara Wanji, who had risked his life to stay on the ground, walked in with a solemn expression.

"Ishihara-kun, how is the situation above?" Nanjiro asked urgently. When the bombing from the Duli Division came, Nanjiro and several division commanders hurriedly hid in the underground bunker that had been repaired long ago to avoid the air attack.

.

So, I don’t know the above situation.

"General, just now more than ten Chinese Army fighter planes flew through the airspace near our headquarters, but they did not find our specific location.

After launching an air raid on several pairs of Royal Army patrols patrolling nearby, they turned around and left.

"Oh." Nanjiro felt relieved and asked again: "What about the military port terminal?"

Ishihara smiled and lowered his face and said: "The Second Fleet of the Navy lost more than 20 ships, including two cruisers, four large transport ships and a large number of landing craft."

"What? Twenty warships were lost?" Everyone, including Nanjiro, was shocked.

"How is this possible? Where is our aviation force? Why don't we take off to attack the China Air Force?" Nanjiro asked unwilling to believe it.

"The newly added air force took off more than 20 fighter jets as soon as the China Air Force attacked, but all of the more than 20 fighter jets were shot down by the China Air Force's escort fighter jets!

After that, Chinese planes attacked and destroyed our airport. Nearly 80 bombers and reconnaissance planes at the airport were destroyed, and the entire airport was completely destroyed." Ishihara smiled and said with an even uglier face.

"Nani? The newly replenished air force was also completely wiped out?" Nanjiro looked shocked.

Lieutenant General Jusunho Sakabe, the current commander of the Third Division, stepped forward in disbelief and said, "Ishihara-kun, is everything you said true?"

Ishihara Wanji nodded with a painful expression.

"How is this possible?" Sakabe Shisunho murmured in disbelief: "When did the China Air Force become so powerful?"

The entire basement fell into a dead silence, and no one knew the answer.

"Nanji-kun, we must strengthen our air defense capabilities. In addition, we need to ask the base camp to send additional sea-based aviation forces to strengthen the air power of the imperial army. Otherwise, tragedies like today will continue to happen." After thinking for a long time, Shisunho Sakabe turned to

He turned to Nanjiro.

However, Nanjiro shook his head with a miserable look on his face and said: "Sakabe-kun, the Navy Ministry does not agree with this large-scale dispatch of troops to the Northeast. The heavy losses of the Navy's 2nd Fleet are now the result of the Japanese Empire's military buildup since the Meiji period.

It has never been done before.

Will they still agree to continue to increase investment in the Northeast War?"

"Then what else can we do? Now five of the 12 divisions we mobilized have landed, and the remaining seven divisions should also have boarded the ship. Will the base camp let us give up military operations in the Northeast?

Then why did we come to Northeast China? To watch the China Air Force performance?" Sakabe Jusunho said with some annoyance.

"General, I think it is best to report the news of the attack on Port Arthur to the base camp and the Army Minister as soon as possible and ask them to make a decision." Ishihara Wanji reminded him aloud.

…………The flying brigade achieved an unprecedented victory and returned home with a full load.

Zhang Xinghan was on the train heading to Harbin. Zhang Xinghan and his party entered a carriage.

There was a small private room in the carriage. At this time, Zhang Xinghan was looking out the window at the scene of rapid retreat, frowning in thought.

He was worried about whether the air attack on Lushun by the flying brigade went smoothly, and at the same time he was also thinking about how to help Li Du, Xing Zhanqing and others defeat Xi Qia, Gu Xing and other Han Jiān.

As well as the question of the whereabouts of Li Du and other troops after defeating him, from Zhang Xinghan's heart, he was extremely eager to recruit Li Du, Xing Zhanqing, Feng Zhanhai and other troops.

Because they are all famous anti-Japanese heroes in history, their loyalty to the nation and the country is unquestionable, and they can be reused with confidence.

However, how can we persuade them to give up Changchun, or even temporarily abandon the ancient forest?

Also, Li Du's military rank is Army Lieutenant General and his position is higher than his own. Would he be willing to join forces with his Du Li Division and listen to his command?
