The people were lit up, and the wake-up call had sounded among the soldiers of Tuchengzi. Tuchengzi is a small town not far from the Yalu River, which used to be a camp of the Eight Banners. Later, it became a small town during the Sino-Japanese War. The town was destroyed by Japanese troops who had come from the Yalu River, and the inhabitants were scattered, and since then, the town has been abandoned and has been in a state of desolation. It once became a place where the green forest gathered, and it was not until Zhang Zuoshuang's cavalry was ordered to drive here that Tuchengzi became noisy.

Today, Tuchengzi is home to the Yalu River Theater Command established by the central government of China. Zhang Guoping, commander of the theater, sat here and took charge of the entire battle situation.

Before dawn, Zhang Guoping left the headquarters neatly dressed, and took the guards to the northwest suburbs of Tuchengzi, where there was a field airfield, and when Zhang Guoping arrived at the airport, the commander of the airport had been waiting for a long time, and as soon as Commander Zhang arrived, the commander immediately issued an order to attack.

Thirty-six bombers, eighteen fighters, a total of fifty-four combat planes, moved their motives in order, and then, under Zhang Guoping's gaze, the fighters took off first, then the bombers, and after taking off, the planes did not hesitate and immediately flew to the southeast. According to the pre-planned route and flight plan, these planes will fly to the Yalu River first. They then flew along the main channel towards Dadonggou at the mouth of the Yalu River and attacked the Japanese fleet and army units that were landing in Dadonggou.

Since receiving the order from the General Staff last night, the Tuchengzi Field Airfield has begun to prepare for today's air assault, due to the lack of light at night, the plane is easy to get lost, therefore. In addition to the first batch of fighters and bombers taking off, several groups of air force combat units will fly from the direction of Liaoyang and Fenghuangcheng to Tuchengzi, and after replenishing fuel here, they will also fly to the direction of Dadonggou at the mouth of the Yalu River to launch air strikes against the Japanese fleet and army units there.

After sending off the first units of air strikes. Zhang Guoping did not leave the field airfield, but patiently waited at the airfield for the arrival of reinforcements. According to the telegram received in the early morning, the air force units in the direction of Liaoyang and Phoenix had already taken off in the dark. In terms of time, they will arrive at the Tuchengzi Field Airfield within half an hour after the Tuchengzi Air Force unit takes off, and land at the airfield to replenish fuel and ammunition.

Twenty minutes later, there was a roar of aircraft engines in the sky, and the first reinforcements of the air force arrived, and when they landed at the Tuchengzi field airfield in order, Zhang Guoping Lixuan figured out their numbers, this air force unit was the second echelon transferred from the Liaoyang field airfield, and the commander was Meng Fei.

After the plane landed, the ground crew quickly assisted the pilot to complete the replenishment of fuel and the loading of ammunition, and carefully checked the aircraft's motive, control stick and other key components. The air control tower immediately fired a signal flare that allowed takeoff. Zhang Guoping didn't even have time to say a few more words to Meng Fei before these combat planes had already taken off again and flew towards the Yalu River.

After the fighter plane took off, Meng Fei glanced at the field airfield and saw that the ground crew was busy cleaning the runway and the apron, and Meng Fei was very satisfied with the efficient work of the ground crew, and it was precisely because of the efforts of these ground crews that the Chinese Air Force was able to make efficient use of its limited air power.

It was indeed efficient, last night. Meng Fei and his experienced pilots were still far away at the forward airfield in Xiongyue City, when they got the order. Xun took the train north and rushed to Liaoyang, where they were accompanied by those light bombers and fighters, and the ground crew removed the wings of these combat planes, loaded them on the train, and rushed to Liaoyang with the pilots. After arriving in Liaoyang, the same ground crew assembled the wings of these aircraft, when the pilots seized the time to rest, the field airport in Liaoyang was transparently lit, and the ground crew used their hard work and sweat to complete all the logistics work efficiently, and the rest depends on the performance of the pilots.

Originally, in recent days, the weather on the front line of the Liaodong Peninsula has been bad, and the air force has been holding its breath, but now there is a task suddenly, and all the pilots are gearing up and eager to try, but considering the importance of this air raid mission, the General Staff has only transferred those pilots with the most actual combat experience to Liaoyang, and the remaining pilots are still on the front line of the Liaodong Peninsula to provide air support for the decisive battle there.

Meng Fei participated in the Lushun Air Campaign and also participated in the air raid on Gaiping, and he has rich experience in actual combat, and it is for this reason that the second echelon of this air raid was commanded by him. The combat aircraft of the second echelon, like the first echelon, were fifty-four aircraft, but the number of bombers was much higher, and there were only six fighters, and it was one of the "Wasp" fighters that Meng Fei flew.

This is a brand new "Wasp." type fighter. The "Wasp" fighter that Meng Fei flew before had been heavily damaged in the battle a few days ago, and could not be repaired, so it could only be scrapped, in order to receive this brand-new fighter, Meng Fei had been waiting for several days, and this plane still flew directly from the factory to the front line in Liaodong, and the paint had not completely dried, sitting in this brand-new fighter. Meng Fei is naturally full of confidence, he is not afraid of the Japanese fighters rushing over, he is afraid that the Japanese army will not send fighters over, as long as the Japanese planes dare to come, then Meng Fei is confident to refresh his air combat record.

As the commander of the second echelon, Meng Fei's fighter flew at the forefront of the entire air formation, so he was also the first pilot to see the Yalu River, according to the route map, after arriving at the Liulu River. The entire flight formation will turn around and head south, fly along the Yalu River all the way to the sea, and arrive at the mouth of the Yalu River, which is the Dadonggou combat area of the air raid.

According to the flight plan, "Meng Fei commanded the flight formation to turn around and fly south along the Yalu River, looking left and right all the way, carefully monitoring the sky, but what made Meng Fei a little disappointed was that this way passed. There is no trace of a Japanese aircraft. The aerial hunting team seemed to have become an ornament, but the bomber pilots breathed a sigh of relief. The number of escort fighters was too small, and they always felt uneasy.

Tuchengzi was not too far from the mouth of the Yalu River, and it didn't take long for Meng Fei to see a vast sea in the sky. Moreover, he also saw a flying formation flying from the southern coastline to the north.

Meng Fei immediately led the formation of war bull planes to meet him. Closer observation, confirmed that it is the first echelon to return after completing the air raid mission, careful observation, you can see many aircraft wings and fuselage bullet holes, obviously, this flight formation was intercepted by the Japanese fleet's firepower, Meng Fei roughly counted, now there are only 45 planes left in the first echelon of the return, it seems that there are nine planes that have not returned.

Although there was a slight loss, the morale of the first echelon was still very strong, and when they saw the second echelon coming from the north, they lined up into a huge goose marching formation, and narrowed the distance between the two flying formations, passing by the second echelon, which was shouting and cheering for their comrades.

Meng Fei soon led the fighter formation back to his own team. Continue to command the second echelon to fly towards the mouth of the Yalu River.

In fact, along the way, Meng Fei saw many light warships of the Japanese Navy on the channel of the Yalu River, but he did not order the attack, and he really didn't look down on these small warships. Moreover, the order of the General Staff is also very clear, that is, to attack the main force of the combined fleet of the Japanese Navy, and those large warships are the targets of this air attack. Of course, as a secondary target, those Japanese army units that were gathered at the landing sites on the coast would also be bombed, and before the operation, all combat missions were drawn up in great detail, and there was a clear division of labor which bomber detachment would bomb the fleet and which bomber detachment would bomb the beachhead landing site. Once they arrive over the combat zone, they will carry out their air raid missions in a step-by-step manner.

Finally, many ships appeared on the sea, and Meng Fei did not hesitate at all, and immediately issued a combat order.

Meng Fei did not see any Japanese planes in the sky, and the wreckage of several planes appeared on the sea, some of which had sunburst flags faintly visible on their wings, apparently shot down by the first echelon.

Meng Fei first threw down the small bomb mounted by the fighter jet, and then began to circle in the sky, dodging the shells and bullets fired from the warships and the beachhead landing field, while clumsily searching for worthy targets, since there was nothing worth attacking in the sky, then, he could only focus on those warships. Japanese vehicles and ships apparently intensified their anti-aircraft fire. Anti-aircraft machine guns were dominant, albeit with a limited range. However, there was still some threat to the bombers on low-altitude bombing missions, so Meng Fei decided to suppress the machine-gun fire on the deck of the warship and cover the bombers as much as possible.

"Da Ga Bi,"

Meng Fei flew down in the "Wasp", spotted one of the largest warships, and fired fiercely at the warship with the two aviation machine guns in the nose.

At the same time, the machine-gun fire on the warship also fired wildly at the Chinese fighter that pounced, and the bullets rained into the sky, and Meng Fei suppressed the opponent's anti-aircraft fire in this rain of bullets.

As soon as one swooped over, several anti-aircraft machine guns on the warship were dumbfounded, and Meng Fei's "Wasp" also swept over the warship and flew into the distance.

Just as Meng Fei pulled the plane up and was about to turn around and dive to attack again, he noticed that it was in the direction of the port side of the large Japanese warship. Beneath the surface of the sea about 500 meters, a slender black shadow was hidden, and it was ghostly approaching the warship.

"Submarines?"

Meng Fei speculated, and then, he saw a burst of bubbles suddenly rise directly in front of the slender black shadow beneath the surface of the sea.

"Fish Collection"

Meng Fei grinned, perhaps the air force attack distracted the Japanese sailors. Until the torpedo hit the port side of the warship, the huge Japanese warship did not make any action to avoid the torpedo.

"Boom!"

The port side of the warship exploded violently near the waterline of the ship's airline, stirring up a column of water more than 10 meters high. The violent shock wave caused a wave on the surface of the sea, and even in the air, Meng Fei felt the sway of the plane caused by the air wave.

With attacks from the air on one side and attacks from below the surface of the sea, the fleet was in complete confusion today, with some warships still sailing in anti-aircraft formation, others trying to rush to the shore like flies. Wanted to rely on shallow water to evade torpedo attacks.

As for the large warship, which had been hit by the torpedo, it also tried to run aground, but before it could reach the shallow water, another torpedo hit its starboard side, and then the huge battleship lost most of its power, collapsed on the surface like a dead fish, and began to sink rapidly.

The sailors on the warship began to evacuate the warship. Some jumped into the sea with lifebuoys, while others tried to lower their lifeboats and go ashore in lifeboats, most of whom were officers.

At this time, the bomber group of the Chinese Air Force had completed the bombing mission and began to return, Meng Fei seized the opportunity, drove the "Wasp" to pounce over, took the wingman, and fired at several lifeboats, he didn't care about his knightly demeanor, as long as it was the enemy, he would not be polite.

Then, Meng Fei shook the tail of the plane and flew triumphantly into the air, caught up with the bomber formation with his wingman, and embarked on the road home.

At the same time, on the surface of the wretched sea, the Japanese naval officers on a lifeboat were staring at the sky in amazement, and beside them, a Japanese naval marshal lay down. At this moment, the admiral had stopped breathing, and in his chest were several bloody bullet holes, which were caused by the strafing of the two Chinese fighters just now.

This Japanese naval marshal was none other than Heihachiro Togo, who died so quickly that he didn't even leave a last word.

As for the large warship that was hit by two torpedoes, it was none other than the battleship "Kawaoi", the flagship of Heihachiro Togo.

For the Japanese Navy, it is not just a naval marshal or a capital warship that it has lost, and for the Japanese government, the tide of war is completely impossible to turn around.
