When the 007 Fighter Squadron led by Chen Sanyun took over the important task of leading the route again, after flying for a few minutes, Lushun Port was already very eye-catching. After the signalman immediately understood and issued a combat alert signal, the escorting fighter jets suddenly accelerated their speed and spread out to form a huge encirclement. All the machine guns were removed from them, just to modify them so that they could load more fuel. Defend it with the bombing Raptor bomber.
Before the war began, the Republic of China had used the Bureau of Investigation's spies in Lushun and high-altitude tracking and aerial photography to conduct a thorough investigation of the Liaodong Peninsula under Japanese control, especially Lushun Fortress, Dalian and other strategically important places heavily guarded by Japan. Xi'an is well aware of the Japanese garrison and equipment in Lushun. Xi'an can basically get first-hand information, and the error will not exceed 12 hours. It can be seen that the Republic of China fought with the Japanese in order to win this battle. The war has been prepared for more than a day or two.
Since last year, Japan has attempted to support the puppet regime of the Semyonov organization in Eastern Siberia to achieve complete control of the region. As the governor of Eastern Siberia appointed by the Russian tsarist government, Semyonov was also the de facto controller of the Vladivostok Port. He used an 'invitation' to invite the Japanese navy to dock at the Vladivostok Port to prevent the Republic of China from taking the opportunity to intervene and take back the Vladivostok Fortress. .
Semyonov's 'invitation' to the Japanese Navy for co-operation was naturally planned by the Japanese government. It even caught the United States and the United Kingdom off guard. Before the two countries could react, Japan would use two quasi-dreadnought-class battleships (Hanoi -class battleship)¡ª¡ªA fleet headed by the Kawachi, the Settsu, and the Izumo armored cruiser were sent to Vladivostok. Taking the opportunity to control this strategically important military fortress and seaport in Northeast Asia.
After the March 1st Revolution broke out in North Korea in March, the North Korean governor sent by the navy was unable to suppress the peninsula, causing the Korean peninsula to develop in the direction of chaos. After the Japanese Navy's movement, this fleet was first sent to the Korean Peninsula to suppress the ground. Then, after the Republic of China exposed the Japanese planning of the "Huanggutun Incident", it was sent to the Liaodong Peninsula and rounded up Asami who was in Port Arthur. The armored cruiser formed a powerful naval squadron that could tear apart the Bohai Bay defense line of the Republic of China at any time and intimidate Tianjin to intimidate the Republic of China.
In this way, the Japanese government tried to exert military pressure on the central government of the Republic of China and force China to compromise with Japan. However, this arrangement played into the intentions of the top leaders of the Republic of China. This "undeclared war" is formulated in response to this strategic plan of the Japanese government.
The large Japanese battleships currently stationed in Lushun include the quasi-dreadnought-class battleships Kawachi and Settsu, and the heavy armored cruisers Izumo and Asami. According to the combat plan formulated by the General Staff Headquarters, both the Army aviation fighters coming from the direction of Fengtian and the Army fighter jets coming from the direction of Dengzhou will give priority to these four warships. These four warships are the main ships of the second and third detachments of the Japanese Combined Fleet respectively. Eliminating them will be equivalent to severely damaging several fingers of the Japanese Combined Fleet and will cause a huge blow to the morale of the Japanese government and army. Moreover, only by eliminating them can some Republic of China Navy battleships that have been blocked in the Bohai Bay break through the Japanese Navy's blockade and come out to wait for opportunities to interfere with Japan's transportation of troops and supplies to the Korean Peninsula, especially the Liaodong Peninsula. The strategic plan of the Republic of China will not be disrupted by this.
Therefore, the Army Aviation's attack force can completely ignore those destroyers and gunboats, and should focus its main bombs on these four large warships.
In order to complete this strategy of the General Staff, the Raptor-class bombers carry a lot of high-explosive bombs. As long as two or three bombs hit a warship, it can cause serious damage. It would be even better if it happened to hit the ammunition depot. It could directly sink a warship and achieve the campaign goal.
Of course, all these arrangements were made based on pre-war reconnaissance reports. Taking into account the rapidly changing battlefield conditions, the General Staff also gave the assault troops the power to adapt to changes. The commander of the commando team and the captain of each bomber have the power to choose the target they consider to be the most important to attack if necessary. In short, there is only one basic principle: heavy losses must be caused to the Japanese fleet.
Now, Chen Sanyun and the others have suddenly broken into the sky above Lushun and have a clear view of the entire military port.
Looking at the lightly guarded harbor below, Chen Sanyun was full of pride. He suddenly had a feeling that maybe after today, their names will remain in the annals of history forever, for the descendants of the Republic of China to admire!
"Pay attention to the six o'clock direction. We have spotted several enemy planes and prepare to intercept them!"
"007 Combat Squadron is here to fight!"
"013 Combat Squadron is here to fight!"
"The remaining fighter squadrons are responsible for protecting the 'Eagle', and I wish you victory!"
As signals were sent out one after another, Chen Sanyun tightened the joystick and pulled hard, and his landline took the lead in breaking away from the group.? Heading towards several Japanese fighter planes.
April 20, 1919, is a day that will be remembered by future generations. If there was no war, then for many people, this day would be just an ordinary day. But there is no but
Oshima Yoshimasa sat cross-kneeling in his living room, waiting for Shinnosuke Kikuchi, Jinzaburo Masaki and others. Because he didn't rest until very late yesterday after handling military affairs, this morning he did not get up before dawn to practice swordplay as usual. As a result, when the time reached about a quarter past six and his attendants hurriedly called him up, Oshima Yoshimasa was still sleeping.
However, his sleepiness soon disappeared, because the attendant brought a message, which was sent by a destroyer patrolling the southern coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula using the ship's radio, "There is a strange sound in the southwest, and there is something in the sky. Strange color, there are a large number of unidentified bird-like objects flying towards Kanto Prefecture, please request the flying team to dispatch reconnaissance!"
Because Japan has gradually increased its emphasis on the sky, all aircraft on the Liaodong Peninsula are under the personal command of the Governor of Kwantung. Therefore, although the following are unconcerned and only want to send a reconnaissance plane to go around, they obviously do not He believed that the Republic of China had the guts to wage an undeclared war against the Empire of Japan, which had a prosperous military fortune.
It¡¯s still Oshima Yoshihashi, considering that the situation in Northeast China has become increasingly unstable recently. Not only has China massively increased its military presence in the Northeast, but gunfire has also occurred frequently between the border patrols of the two countries.
Considering this, he cautiously ordered several fighter planes to be sent to check. As a result, there has been no news from this trip.
A trace of gloom quietly filled his mind at some point. Oshima Yoshimasa didn't know if he was being too cautious, but he was indeed very uneasy. He had a vague feeling and he really didn't want that to become a reality. .
"Your Excellency, the two adults are here!"
An attendant said respectfully through the door. Inside, Oshima Yoshimasa, who was kneeling on the tatami, responded. Soon after, footsteps came from the corridor. Not long after, Shinnosuke Kikuchi and Jinzaburo Masaki entered the reception room under the guidance of the attendants.
"Your Majesty, you are anxious to recruit us. Why is this?"
"Your Majesty the Governor, is it possible that there are some new instructions coming from the country?"
The two of them had just arrived, and they started asking questions, wondering what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.
Oshima Yimasa opened his eyes, glanced at the two of them seriously, and said in a deep voice: "There was news from the coastal defense ship, saying that half an hour ago, they found something abnormal in the sky on the southern coastline. It seemed that they were seeing something strange. Some huge flying objects arrived, suspected to be airplanes. But the telegram was not sure, because they saw a relatively large number, maybe a hundred, maybe two hundred or more. They suspected they were seabirds, so they were just out of caution. Let me send out a few reconnaissance planes to have a look!"
The two of them were slightly stunned. Kikuchi Shinnosuke narrowed his eyes, "Could it be a Chinese plane?"
"Noimpossible!" As soon as he said it, he was denied by Jinzaburo Masaki. "Let's not talk about which direction Fengtian wants to send a plane over. Even if there is one, is the direction we arranged a fiction? Why hasn't there been any news yet?"
What he said made sense, but it was too disrespectful to the seniors. Kikuchi Shinnosuke's face darkened, but thinking that he was Prime Minister Lu's confidant, he did not refute him.
Oshima Yoshimasa nodded, "What Mr. Masaki said is reasonable, but I am always a little worried in my heart. I have sent two groups of planes to check. This time, I invite you here. The main thing is to ask you to pay attention. I am worried about the Chinese people." It is very likely that we have already made preparations for war. Recently, the intelligence coming from the Northeast and Guan Nei all shows that our two countries are likely to have a war this time!"
Jinzaburo Masaki didn't take it seriously, "I'm afraid the Chinese people are just threatening. War is not a child's play. Even the empire is not ready now. Can the Chinese people prepare faster than our empire? Your Majesty Don¡¯t forget, China had a fight with the Lu Kingdom two years ago. Although it also severely damaged the Lu Kingdom¡¯s Far East Army, the losses of the Chinese people, according to the intelligence we got from various aspects, were not much smaller than those of the Lu Kingdom. Can they recover and prepare for war in two years? In my opinion, this war may be unavoidable for our two countries. But now that all foreigners are stuck in the quagmire of the European War, and the Chinese have lost their asylum, it is inevitable Don¡¯t dare to be an enemy of my empire!¡±
"Masaki-kun underestimated the China people too much!" Shinnosuke Kikuchi frowned, "Today's China is completely different from the China we are familiar with. In the third year of Taisho, our empire sent troops to Shandong because it underestimated the war of the China people. Determination and preparation resulted in a defeat. In the seventh year of Taisho, the Chinese people and the Lu countryDuring the war, they not only mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, but also left an armed force to guard our empire. This shows that the Chinese people are determined to defend our empire! Now that China's new president is in power, under his iron-fisted rule, China's development momentum is very fast, and it is even more decisive. During the Manchu-Tatar period, the territory annexed by the Lu Kingdom was not only recovered, but also took the opportunity to control part of the fertile land of the Lu Kingdom. Judging from the current situation, there are only two countries that still occupy part of China's territory: my country and the United Kingdom. Compared with the British threat, the Chinese people must be more hostile to our country, and may not lack the determination and courage to go to war! "
After all, he was an old general. His words made Oshima Yoshimasa nod repeatedly. He was also worried about this. After all, the person who controls the Republic of China now is a man called Napoleon of the Far East by some European media. He dared to declare war on Russia at the expense of offending the entire Allied Powers, and defeated hundreds of thousands of Russian expeditionary troops on the battlefield in the Far East. Nowadays, in order to regain the Liaodong Peninsula, the Republic of China took the initiative to declare war on Japan, which is not impossible.
