    Then, a big explosion occurred in the main ammunition depot on the battleship Settsu. After the deafening explosion, the battleship weighing more than 20,000 tons was lifted high by the power of the explosion. A huge hole appeared in the hull.  The seawater that quickly poured in crazily sank into the battleship, and the battleship Settsu sank.

    Perhaps it was the madness of the unnamed young pilot that infected every warrior in the Army Aviation. Some pilots began to let go of their movements, frequently making seemingly dangerous moves.

    At this time, some Japanese warships in the harbor had begun to react after the initial chaos. As pillars of smoke rose into the sky in the harbor, more and more Japanese warships were launched, preparing to forcefully leave the harbor and avoid the sky.  threats above.

    Then, another Raptor bomber suddenly lowered its altitude, rushed over from the other direction, and dropped a bomb more than forty meters above the Izumo armored cruiser. One bomb accurately hit the Izumo.  The violent explosion of the armored cruiser's port side secondary battery even shook some Japanese sailors on the deck into the sea.  At this time, in the harbor, with the sinking of the Hanoi and the Settsu, only this giant battleship of nearly 10,000 tons was left, which naturally attracted the attention of most raptors.

    Soon, another high-explosive bomb landed on the port side of the Izumo, and not long after, another high-explosive aerial bomb hit the starboard side of the Izumo again, immediately appearing on the waterline of the warship.  Several huge vortices were created, and seawater quickly poured into the ship. Although it had not sunk yet, everyone knew that the Izumo had lost its combat capability and suffered unprecedented heavy losses.

    The fuel of the sneak attack fleet is already very dangerous. They must return as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult to wait until they reach some supply airports built by the Republic of China on the Salmon Islands to complete the supply.

    When more and more fighters realized that most of their fuel had been consumed, several signal flares took off.  The army aviation warriors who were still gathered in the port and were frantically chasing and bombing the Japanese light cruisers and destroyers knew that this was a signal flare to return home. Now more and more Raptor bomber formations began to climb to high altitudes, and were climbing.  In the process, all the bombs that had not been poured down fell on the port and Lushun Fortress, destroying a large number of military facilities, port facilities and even civilian buildings.

    At the same time, the fighter units also received the signal and returned one after another amidst the billowing black smoke and explosions at the military port, covering the return of the bomber group.

    At this time, the Army Aviation bombers and fighter formations departing from the Army Aviation Base near Fengtian also successfully arrived in the Jinzhou area occupied by Japan, and headed towards the Japanese Third Division stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula and all Japanese military buildings.  launched an attack.  They received different orders from the Dengzhou sneak attack troops.  From Fengtian to the Liaodong Peninsula, because most of the aviation flight areas are under the control of the Republic of China, their task is to mainly help the National Defense Forces who are about to launch an attack to clear the Japanese defense positions on the front line, and, if possible,  Conduct air strikes north of Lushun, to be precise, the entire territory of Dalian and Jinzhou.

    So, when I think of the explosions and machine gunfire in Port Arthur, the same scene is going on almost in Jinzhou to the north.

    Chen Sanyun rubbed his eyes with red eyes, pulled the joystick and started to control the plane's return.  The 007 Fighter Squadron suffered heavy losses in this sneak attack. Of the original sixteen fully equipped fighter planes, there were now only eleven left, and almost all of them were injured.  Except for one that was accidentally hit by a Japanese machine gun on the ground and crashed, every other one was lost in head-to-head encounters with the Japanese flying team.

    Looking down through the cabin into the Port Arthur Fortress, the wreckage of more than a dozen crashed fighter jets and bombers were clearly visible. The Chinese people used their actions to prove their responsibilities and obligations as soldiers, and were prepared at all times.  Fight for the sovereignty and dignity of the motherland, even if you die on the battlefield.

    The plane hovered in the sky for a while. Chen Sanyun silently stared at the wreckage of the fallen comrades' planes, then raised his right hand and saluted those who died and those who may have survived. That's all he could do now.

    Chen Sanyun looked at the outer parking area of ??the military port again. It was already a mess. The two quasi-dreadnought-class battleships Hanoi and Settsu sank successively. The heavy armored cruiser Izumo suffered heavy damage and the hull was still flooded. The sinking was  Sooner or later, the other light cruisers such as Ito Maru, Wakame, Tianlong, Ryuta, and destroyers were all injured, and many main and secondary guns were blown up. The fire on the ship has not yet been extinguished.

    Looking at the Port Arthur Fortress, although it is not their focus of ¡®care¡¯.  But tons of bombs were still dumped on the Port Arthur Fortress.  A number of military buildings, including the Kwantung Governor's Mansion and the Lushun Ordnance Factory, were hit, and even a Japanese warehouse storing supplies was accidentally destroyed.It appeared and destroyed, burning with raging flames, so that half of the city could feel its smoke.

    "Leave the rest to our brothers in the National Defense Army and Navy! We have tried our best"

    " Turning back to take one last look at the still burning Lushun, Chen Sanyun thought silently in his heart.  He knew that this war against Japan was by no means an independent operation by the Army Air Force. In fact, although the Army Air Force's mission was important, they could not go to sea, land to attack cities, or recover the ground.  All they can do is to reduce the difficulty of siege as much as possible for the brother armies of the army and navy when they attack.  The army and navy are also very important. Although I am curious about what actions the weak fleet of the Republic of China will take, Chen Sanyun knows very well that the war has just begun!

    Before the outbreak of the European War in 1914, when the name submarine was mentioned, most people in the Far East and even in the so-called civilized places in Europe and the United States had no idea what this thing was.

    The outbreak of the European War quickly made Germany the public enemy of the world, especially the unrestricted submarine warfare that Germany once promoted. In a few years, it destroyed and sunk millions of tons of warships and merchant ships, causing navigation companies and enterprises in various countries to suffer losses of up to 100,000 tons.  Billions of dollars.  For this reason, Germany was dubbed "evil", and the U-boats made in Germany were called "undersea devils" by the world, becoming the most eye-catching submarines in the world.

    Although Germany is recognized in the world as the country that is best at manufacturing submarines, few people know that the world¡¯s first modern submarine was built in 1878 by Irish-American John Philip Holland.  At the same time, the first submarine that could be equipped with torpedoes was the "Fenia Collision" submarine he built three years later in 1881. It was equipped with a gasoline engine and a pneumatic launch gun and could be launched underwater.  A torpedo.

    With the advent of the second industrial revolution, the world has entered a more advanced era of large-scale industry.  More and more advanced weapons are being manufactured, either for war or for national defense.  With the outbreak of the European War, countless new weapons were finalized during the war and were widely equipped by various countries.  With the advent of the second industrial revolution, the national defense systems of countries around the world are also facing the most severe test.

    In modern national defense, a strong army and navy are inevitable to defend the country.  The navy has gradually become a highly technical service since the Age of Discovery, especially after the birth of submarines. The navy, which originally sailed on oceans wider than the seven continents, also updated the technology of surface ships.  , Underwater military technology has also achieved a staggering development rate.

    The birth of the underwater wolf pack was actually not smooth sailing. Since gasoline engines were initially used as surface power machines, the evaporated gasoline vapor filled the submarine cabin.  A spark can cause an explosion, which makes piloting this underwater weapon a very risky job, with a very limited range and mediocre performance. This is why the United States took the lead in inventing and purchasing six John Philip Holland  After the Holland-class submarine, it did not continue to purchase newer submarines, and it also refused to spend more money on research.

    Therefore, the Americans¡¯ leading position in underwater military technology was quickly surpassed by the British and French who purchased a large number of Holland-class submarines from them for research.  After the British purchased a batch of submarines from the United States for testing, they also released an improved version with better performance. However, the arrogant British insists that they have the world's most powerful navy and will definitely not be hidden under the sea.  Drilling into the submarine was stopped as some rats threatened.

    At the end of the 19th century, the French had the second most powerful navy in the world and had always been the British's most powerful opponent at sea. Therefore, they were also fully suppressed by the British.  In the battle for world hegemony that lasted for hundreds of years with the British, France's overseas colonies were gradually swallowed up by the British, and its national power was increasingly exhausted.  Therefore, at the end of the 19th century, France made a wrong decision in order to reverse the unfavorable situation and get out of the quagmire of military competition with the British navy.  They massively destroyed and sold some old and new warships in the French Navy, halved the procurement and research funding for new navy warships, streamlined the scale of the French Navy, abandoned the blue water navy, and began to develop a force solely for offshore operations.  Brown Water Navy.

    This negative naval development strategy seriously injured the French Navy, the second largest navy in the world. By the beginning of the 20th century, the powerful French Navy, which once dominated the world and competed fiercely with Britain on the oceans and was not far behind, had declined and became the European power.  The Fourth Navy, whether it is the newly emerging naval power Germany or the Russian Navy with ambitious maritime ambitions, is stronger than the French.  At this time, the French realized that there was a mistake in their naval strategy, but they had no choice but to make a mistake. In a short period of time, France's finances were not enough to support the immediate rebuilding of a strong navy, and they could only rely on other aspects to make up for the navy's shortcomings.

    As a result, the French introduced a large amount of horticulture from the United States.??-class submarines were used for research. Soon after, French shipyards first mass-produced ocean-going attack submarines to make up for the lack of their own naval strength.

    As for France¡¯s feuding Germany, it was slow to respond at first. It was not until the French submarine tactics stimulated the German emperor that German shipyards began to imitate French submarines.  And eventually came from behind. Relying on its strong national strength and advanced technology, as well as Germany's enthusiasm for colonial expansion, German submarines finally became the technological leader.
