On 3 September, the Air Force bombing airship formation led by Yan Di, consisting of five Kunpeng-6 light airships, nine Kunpeng-7 medium-sized airships, and six Kunpeng-8 heavy airships, took off from the Yuanhe City Air Base in Siqiyuan City and flew to the Yaxi Air Base in Shandong, a distance of nearly 2,100 kilometers between the two places.

The Air Force bomber airship formation will rest for one day at the Shandong Yaxi Air Base and then fly to the Yokosuka Naval Base, which is 1,700 kilometers away, the next day.
The Air Force of the Han Kingdom bombed the airship formation on this mission, and wanted to destroy the main force of the navy, and also destroy the shipyard in Yokosuka.
At the same time, the Yangtze River Fleet and the brigade-level Marine Corps were dispatched to the north to cooperate with the Suzaku Regiment to attack Korea.
In the early morning of 4 September, the "Zhonghua Daily," which had been postponed for four days, was finally put on sale, and this issue of the "Zhonghua Daily" began with the headline "The Great Han Kingdom Annihilated the Combined Fleet of Britain and France."
Residents of Yuanhe City were the first to see the "China Daily," and 20,000 copies of the "China Daily" were quickly sold out in the entire Yuanhe City.
After reading this issue of "China Daily", the residents of Yuanhe City knew how powerful the Anglo-French combined fleet was, but the Han Kingdom was even more powerful, and the Han Kingdom completely annihilated the Anglo-French Combined Fleet with a slight loss, and no country in the world could do this except the Han Kingdom.
"Long live King Han! Long live the Han Kingdom! A young man shouted excitedly after reading the newspaper, but he didn't expect it to cause a group response.
"Long live King Han!"
"Long live the Great Han Kingdom!"
From one person shouting, to ten people shouting, hundreds, thousands, thousands of people, cheers sounded in various areas of Yuanhe City, and in the end, Yan Xueyi, who was playing physical fitness boxing in the back garden of the Han Palace, seemed to hear the shouts in Yuanhe City.
Near noon, the air force bombing airship formation led by Yan Qi landed at the Yaxi Air Base in Shandong.
At 10 o'clock on 5 September, the Air Force bomber airship formation took off from the Shandong Yaxi Air Base and flew straight toward Yokosuka, which was the terminus of the Air Force bomber formation.
On this day, the "China Daily" has been sold in nearly half of the four provinces, and the people of other regions are like the residents of Yuanhe City, celebrating the victory of the Han Kingdom.
In the past five years, the common people of Siqi Province have understood what a country is and what a nation is, and if there is no strong country to shelter them, ordinary people, they will only be bullied by foreigners and even foreigners, just like the various teaching plans that broke out in the past, those religious people rely on the support of Western missionaries behind their backs, and oppress the people at will, and the Manchu government did not dare to take action.
It is as if foreigners are superior people, and ordinary people are inferior people.
In the Han Kingdom, everything will change, foreigners will be punished harshly for their crimes, and foreigners will no longer be the superior people in the land of China.
However, the area outside the province is very different from the province of Siqi, and those common people do not see how much difference there will be under the rule of the Manchu Dynasty and the rule of the Han Kingdom, and even many ordinary people still retain the pig's tail.
At 6:19 a.m. on 6 September, the bombing airship formation of the Han Kingdom Air Force led by Yan Ji appeared in Yokosuka.
Yokosuka was originally a fishing village, built a steel mill in 1865, later developed into a naval shipyard, designated as a military port in 1877, set up a town guard in 1884, and the navy built forts, barracks and schools along the coast, at this time the main force of the navy was docked in the Yokosuka military port.
The navy was established in 1872, and its own strength was relatively weak, and even if it gathered the strength of the whole country to develop the navy, it did not make much progress, not to mention that it was far from catching up with the Western powers, and even the navy of the neighboring Manchu Dynasty could crush the navy, and since the second half of 1883, the navy of the neighboring Manchu Dynasty could crush the navy, and since the second half of 1883, the navy plundered a large amount of wealth from Korea, and in the process of plundering the wealth of Korea, hundreds of thousands of Korean people died at the hands of Japanese soldiers.
After looting a large amount of wealth in Korea, the government spent a large part of it on the development of the navy, and now it is 1888, only five years have passed, and even if the government is fully engaged in developing the navy, it will not be able to build a powerful navy in such a short time.
At present, the navy consists mainly of 17 warships with a total tonnage of 19,000 tons, including the 3,650-ton 'Naniwa' and 'Takachiho' dome-armored cruisers, the 3,777-ton 'Fuso' battleship, and the 2,250-ton 'Hiei' second-class gunboats.
However, at present, there are still warships under construction in the shipyard of Yuben, and at the same time, the warships purchased from the British are still lying in the shipyards of the British, once all the warships are built, the naval strength of Yuben will surpass the Beiyang Fleet of the Han Kingdom at this time.
After the bombing airship formation of the Air Force of the Han Kingdom came to Yokosuka, the airship that Yan Ji was riding gave a signal: reduce the flight altitude!
After receiving the order, the 20 airships of the Air Force bombing airship formation lowered their altitude one after another and flew towards the Yokosuka Military Port.
"Look, what's that in the sky?" One said that he accidentally saw a group of black spots approaching in the west.
"It's a flock of birds." His companion glanced at the West and replied casually.
At this time, many residents of Yokosuka saw something strange in the western sky approaching this side, saying that it was a flock of birds, and people talked about it, but they did not know that danger was approaching.
The airship is getting lower and lower, and the residents of Yokosuka finally get a good idea of what it looks like, but they don't know what it is.
"Oh my God! That's an airship, such a big airship! "A knowledgeable man finally recognized the behemoth in the sky of Yokosuka, and likewise, he did not notice that danger was approaching.
The soldiers on the Japanese battleships docked in the Yokosuka military port also saw the airship, and the Japanese soldiers gathered on the deck of the battleship curiously to watch the airship "slowly" approaching them, but there were also individual Japanese soldiers or officers who were a little uneasy in their hearts, it was impossible for these things to appear for no reason, they must have some purpose. It's just that the Japanese warships in the military port did not make any moves.
Slowly, the air force of the Han Kingdom bombed the airship formation to the sky above the military port, and under Yan Qi's order, the airships stopped advancing, but they continued to decline.
"Oh no, they're coming for us." A Japanese captain suddenly reacted and wanted to start the battleship and leave the military port, but the steam-powered battleship was very difficult to start and could not be started in a short time.
The soldiers and officers of the Navy could only watch as the airship got closer and closer to the battleship.
However, some uninformed Japanese soldiers actually took their rifles and fired at the airship, and some people who knew the airship immediately stopped the soldiers' actions.
Soon, the sky of the Japanese battleships was obscured by behemoths.
"Look, something has fallen!" (To be continued.) )
