Chapter 169: Another Air Raid (Part I)

No matter how distressed and anxious Kato Dingyoshi was, the coastal defense ships, light cruisers, and destroyers of the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet that were targeted for bombing basically did not escape the fate of being blown up and sinking. Only two destroyers, which were fast and reacted in a timely manner, were lucky enough to break out of the encirclement and evacuate the waters of Jiaozhou Bay with the main fleet.

Looking at the second fleet of the Japanese Navy fleeing in panic, Chen Yifan sneered: "Even if you run fast, otherwise even if the explosion does not sink, you will have to be stabbed a few times to make you bleed, and you know that you will run to someone else's house without permission to play tricks!" ”

At the beginning of the Sino-Japanese air war, the German governor of Jiaozhou, Waldeke, who was in the Qingdao fortress, had been standing on the lookout of the fortress and watching the battle situation through a telescope.

Until the bomber group sank a large number of Japanese ships and scared away the main battleships of the Japanese Navy's Second Fleet, Waldeck still exclaimed in shock and exclaimed: "Oh, God! Felix, seeing no, the Chinese aircraft group actually blew up so many Japanese warships and completely drove the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy out of the waters of Jiaozhou Bay, it is really incredible! ”

Felix, chief of the General Staff of the German Army in Qingdao, was also shocked: "It is inconceivable that just a hundred Chinese planes have driven away the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy, which has suffered huge losses these days. ”

Waldeck suddenly exclaimed, "Oh my God, what are the Chinese doing?" They flew their planes and opened fire on the surviving Japanese naval soldiers in the sea, a bloody massacre, a total violation of international humanitarian law! ”

The so-called international humanitarian law was nothing more than a decoration on the lips of the colonizers of this era, and Felix did not pay much attention to this, but said with some appreciation: "Compared with the destruction of the ships of the Japanese, the slaughter of these Japanese naval soldiers who have been painstakingly trained for many years is the real heavy damage to the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy." Also, Your Excellency the Governor, you may have forgotten that international humanitarian law probably has no way to bind the Chinese. ”

"Then you can't so savagely and bloody slaughter soldiers who have lost the ability to continue fighting, Chinese are not a member of the civilized world after all." Waldeck said.

In Waldeck's view, at this time, the Chinese should exert their humanitarian spirit and rescue the Japanese naval soldiers who survived the sea. The massacre is a barbaric and bloody act. Of course, he chose to ignore the massacres that had taken place during the German occupation of the colonies. It can be seen that no matter what kind of fight between the European powers, they are still immersed in the strong concept of the superiority of the white race in their bones. Despise the indigenous peoples of the colonies of the world.

Felix did not continue to dwell on the massacre of Japanese naval soldiers by Chinese aircraft, but said with some excitement: "I have to say that the Chinese are really amazing, and the power of large-scale aircraft bombing is actually so huge!" After this battle, the theory of winning the naval battle of 'giant ships and cannons' is probably going to be swept into the trash. It was as if I had seen the birth of a new naval battle mode. As long as the empire can learn from the Chinese to use aircraft, then the disadvantage of the imperial navy will no longer exist! ”

Hearing Felix's words, Wardeck also deeply agreed with this, nodded and said: "That's right, the plane will definitely become a weapon for the empire to win!" However, after the news of this battle spreads, I am afraid that Britain and France will also pay more attention to aircraft and learn from the Chinese to form a huge bomber group. In the final analysis, the war is ultimately a contest of the overall strength of the country. ”

"Your Excellency the Governor, don't worry too much, I don't know if you've noticed. What was the situation of the air battle between the Chinese aircraft group and the Japanese aircraft group just now? Felix asked.

Speaking of this, Waldeck exclaimed again: "Of course, the Chinese's plane is really amazing!" There was a fierce battle between 15 planes and as many as 42 seaplanes of the Japanese army, and it was easy to fight 0:42. Another very strange thing is that the Chinese planes actually fired from the nose but did not break the propeller, God, how did they do it? The East is really a mysterious land, and the Chinese are really a group of amazing people! ”

Felix analyzed: "Your Excellency the Governor, the fact that the Chinese plane can shoot from the nose but not break the propeller is very likely an advanced technology secretly developed by the Chinese. We can see from the results of this battle. The power of this advanced technology. As long as it is in possession, the Reich's planes can completely control the skies of Europe, and then use the great power of the bombers. Think about it, what a wonderful thing that would be! ”

"Yes. Felix, you're so right! Waldeck suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "The Empire needs this advanced technology, hurry up and send a telegram to report to His Majesty the Emperor." I believe that if His Majesty the Emperor had learned of the great power of this advanced technology, he would have obtained it from the Chinese at all costs! ”

With that, Waldeck hurried down the lookout and walked briskly towards the confidential telegraph room.

Just when Waldeck urgently reported to the German Emperor Wilhelm II by telegram that Chinese aircraft could easily defeat the Japanese fleet using advanced technology. Chen Yifan led the Blue Eagle Flying Brigade to complete the final sweeping work of the battle.

Chen Yifan drove the plane to climb up and climb alone, giving all the planes of the Blue Eagle Flying Group a signal to return.

Seeing Chen Yifan's return signal through the flight action, the planes of the Blue Eagle Flight Group began to re-form a large group formation, and then turned around and returned to Jiaoxian Airport.

When more than 100 planes of the Blue Eagle Flying Group swept over Qingdao in the sky, countless Qingdao citizens leaned out of their windows, walked out of their homes, poured into the streets, and looked up one after another.

The sound of violent explosions in the waters near Qingdao continued to sound, and the vast majority of Qingdao citizens could clearly see it, and they also knew that it was the aircraft group of the Nayimeng Autonomous Alliance Army engaged the Japanese fleet.

Now that the explosions on the other side of the sea have stopped, and at this time, I saw as many planes as when I came, and I still didn't understand that it was the group of planes of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army that had won an overwhelming victory, and everyone was overjoyed.

"We won!" The crowd didn't know who shouted.

Immediately, the crowd exploded!

"We won!"

"Our plane has won against the Orientals!"

"Hooray! Long live the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance! ”

……

It's boiling, and the citizens of Qingdao are completely boiling!

The streets of Qingdao were filled with cheering and celebratory crowds, with businessmen walking out of shops, workers walking out of factories, students rushing out of classrooms, and even teachers joining in the cheering frenzy.

If the Germans had defeated the Orientals, these Chinese citizens of Qingdao might not have been so crazy. But this is our own Chinese plane defeated the fleet of the Orientals, and the evil spirit of being repeatedly bullied by the Orientals since the First Sino finally came out today, which makes them not excited, how not to rejoice!

Cracking sound......

As if there was a tacit understanding, citizens in the streets and alleys of Qingdao spontaneously lit firecrackers, and the whole Qingdao was suddenly intoxicated with firecrackers and cheers and celebrations.

Perhaps joy and enthusiasm can be transmitted, and after the Chinese citizens of Qingdao enthusiastically cheered and celebrated the victory of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army, the whole country was equally boiling after learning of the outcome of the battle, and joined in the frantic celebrations one after another.

The flight group of the Yimeng Autonomous Coalition Army inflicted heavy damage and expelled the Second Fleet of the Japanese Navy in one fell swoop, which made the compatriots see for the first time the hope of China to expel the Japanese who wanted to encroach on Chinese territory and recover Qingdao.

Streets, alleys, teahouses, pubs, classrooms, factories, etc., almost everywhere there is a crowd gathering, you can hear people's discussions and cheers about this exciting World War I.

"Oh my God, is that Yimeng Autonomous Alliance really a bandit, it's so powerful!"

"It doesn't matter if they are bandits or not, even if they are, if they can beat the Orientals all over the head, it will be very happy!"

"Haha, that's right! From now on, Lao Tzu wants to see how the ships of the Orientals show off their might on our seas! ”

"Give those little oriental radish heads a hundred ambitious leopards and dare not be as arrogant as before, maybe the plane of the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army will appear, and blow him up, his mother is sloppy, that's called pleasure, haha......"

"I really didn't expect this plane to be so powerful. With the plane, Lao Tzu wants to see which of those foreigners dares to blatantly oppress us in China! ”

"How do I think this Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army is a bit like the Sichuan Army, and now it seems that they have planes all over the world, not even the Beiyang Army."

"Don't say it, it's really possible to be the Sichuan army."

"It's the Sichuan Army that is better, Lao Tzu originally felt that the Sichuan Army was much stronger than the messy Kuomintang and the Beiyang Army, which couldn't stand up in front of foreigners!"

……

As if there was a hidden force secretly pushing it, the news that the Yimeng Autonomous Alliance Army and the Sichuan Army belonged to the same force gradually came out, and many people across the country more or less knew some of the situation.

Not only did the people of the whole country enthusiastically praise the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army, but all Chinese and foreign newspapers and periodicals also increased their attention to the Yimeng Autonomous Allied Army, and sent reporters to Jiaoxian County one after another to try to get first-hand the battle situation.

In addition to Chinese and foreign journalists, representatives of foreign powers and embassy personnel in China also rushed to Jiaoxian. Of course, their goal was not to be a first-hand battle situation, but to annihilate the Chinese fighters of the Japanese army's huge seaplanes with an absolute numerical inferiority. To be precise, their target is an air combat weapon that they don't know about yet, called the "Machine Gun Firing Coordinator".

The British were the first to learn of the amazing power of the Chinese fighter because they were informed by the Japanese, and the German Emperor Wilhelm II was the first to learn about the amazing power of the Chinese fighter because he received a report from the governor of Jiaozhou, so he reacted the fastest and sent a representative to Jiaoxian County as soon as possible to seek the possibility of purchasing this fighter.

In the Sino-Japanese war, it is not difficult to see that the status of aircraft in the war is rising sharply, and if it were not for the limited range of bombers and the weight of bombs carried, I am afraid that they would have been qualified to officially become an independent service that can be compared with the navy and the army.

The British and Germans are well aware that in future wars, the fight of aircraft in the air is inevitable, so the air combat weapons in the hands of the Chinese are very important! (To be continued.) )
