The sky of Chuanhan, the gorgeous morning sun, the fresh sky with, this is indeed the good weather of the dagger.

In the sky, six fighters covered eighteen light bombers flying from south to north, maintaining an altitude of two thousand meters, forming a trapezoidal formation, dense enough to provide sufficient cover for each other.

Among the two light bombers was Su Shiyu, chief of staff of the Air Force, and because of his average flying skills, he could only sit in the position of a machine gunner in the back seat, wearing a flight cap on his head and goggles on his eyes, and he looked no different from an ordinary pilot, and even the flying armor was half old and not new.

Su Shiyu took off from the Dengzhou Air Force Task Force Base on the Shandong Peninsula and the destination was the Pulandian Field Airfield on the Liaodong Peninsula, and his flight formation was the last group to leave the Dengzhou Air Force Base, once they landed at the Pulandian Field Airfield. Then, this transition mission is considered complete.

Now that the war on the Liaodong Peninsula is nearing its end, as long as Lushun and Dalian are conquered, the war on the Liaodong Peninsula will be truly over. Originally, the Air Force stationed a part of its troops in Dengzhou for tactical attacks on the Japanese troops in Lushun some time ago, because it was necessary to fly across the sea and take off from Dengzhou to attack Lushun, which required some risks, once the plane made a forced landing on the sea due to failure or miscarriage and other reasons, it became a relatively difficult thing to search for pilots, although at present the central government has mobilized local light ships to join the maritime vigilance and sea rescue missions. However, it is indeed not an easy task to find a pilot floating on the sea in the vast sea, and it is precisely with this in mind that at the end of the war on the Liaodong Peninsula, the General Staff finally decided to transfer all the Dengzhou air force units to various field airfields on the Liaodong Peninsula to be stationed, first, to avoid unnecessary sea flight accidents, and second, to facilitate unified command and deployment. And for logistical support. It is also more advantageous for air forces to be stationed in the same direction.

Therefore, as soon as the General Staff Headquarters' transfer order arrived yesterday, Su Shiyu began to work on the transfer, and yesterday afternoon a batch of planes had already flown to the Pulandian Field Airport, and today, all the remaining planes will fly to the Pulandian Field Airport. In order to strengthen the air force of the Liaodong Peninsula, such a deployment. It can take into account both the north and south operational directions, whether it is the Lushun battlefield or the Yalu River battlefield, once the army units need air support, then the air force planes can rush to the battlefield in the shortest possible time.

This way from Dengzhou to fly, basically no danger, even the motor failure did not appear, which made Su Shiyuzhou happy, in fact, now that the Chinese Air Force has completely mastered air supremacy, the threat of Japanese aircraft is no longer to worry, but the problem of motivation has been plaguing Su Shiyu.

Although China's internal combustion engine manufacturing technology can be on par with the world's advanced level, but due to the fact that some technologies have not yet been penetrated, and the overall immaturity of the world's motor manufacturing industry, the quality of China's self-made aviation engines is uneven, coupled with the poor quality of fuel, the failure of the engine has seriously affected the operation of the Air Force, some fighters and bombers are not lost to the enemy's anti-aircraft firepower, but to the failure of the engine, the Air Force high-level and the General Staff have noticed this problem, but there is no good solution at present, Only strengthen ground maintenance, and at the same time remind the pilots that once there is a problem with the motivation, whether they have entered the battle or not, they must immediately return home, if the plane really cannot be saved, the pilot should immediately parachute to avoid personnel losses, the loss of the aircraft can be rebuilt, but the loss of the pilot can not be replenished in the short term, although there are many reserve pilots in China at present, but this regulation can also be regarded as the center's attention to the air force officers.

Since the center attaches so much importance to the air force, the air force naturally must go all out, and it must not let the center or the army down, and in any case, it must also prove the strength and courage of the "proud son of heaven" with its achievements.

Sitting in the back seat of the machine gunner, Su Shiyu was not idle, he held an atlas, on the top of the depiction gun Air Force now undertakes important aerial mapping tasks, before the war, the Air Force dispatched reconnaissance planes, the Liaodong battlefield has been carefully mapped and mapped, but this kind of mapping work is still somewhat difficult, inevitably there are some errors in the mapping, which has brought trouble to some units of the army, these troubles are fed back to the General Staff, and then transferred by the General Staff to the Air Force, Although the General Staff did not say anything, Su Shiyu knew very well that the General Staff was very dissatisfied, and it was for this reason that he was now holding the atlas and estimating the deviation of the error according to the location of the islands on the sea surface that he had actually observed, so as to revise some details of the aerial mapping.

Soon, Su Shiyu saw the land on the sea, that is, the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, because it was a light-loaded flight, there was no aerial bomb loaded, so the flight group would not fly to the northeast, nor would it fly to the sky over Lushun, but flew in a straight line to the north.

When they got to the land, the pilots could see some Japanese barracks on the ground, and the Japanese soldiers were obviously very panicked about the arrival of these unlucky guests in the air, running around on the ground, but the pilots did not pay attention to it, but continued to fly north.

Soon, the flight formation flew over Jinzhou Bay, and soon after, it saw several islands separating Jinzhou Bay and Pulandian Bay, where the pilot plane turned course and flew northeast.

By the time I saw the land again, it was not far from the Pulandian Field Airport, and it was in this airspace, Su

As one of the defense measures, there are still some torpedo boats and coastal defense submarines lurking in Pulandian Bay, and although the possibility of the Japanese fleet rushing through the Bohai Strait into the Bohai Sea is not high, the General Staff still does not dare to be careless, and specially orders the navy to strengthen the vigilance in Pulandian Bay.

The Pulandian Field Airport is not very far from Pulandian Bay, in a sorghum field five miles away on the northern outskirts of Pulandian, and the sorghum has already been harvested. The ground had also been leveled so that it would not be a problem to land fighters and light bombers, but the runway at the field airfield was still too soft for heavy bombers, and until the engineering units built a special runway with rollers, all the heavy bombers would be stationed at Kumagake Castle airfield to the north, which was farther and safer from the coast.

The light bomber that Su Shiyu was riding was the last to land on the runway, waiting for him to jump off the plane. Several officers waiting on the side of the runway had rushed over to greet their commander.

Su Shiyu asked a few words, and had figured out the current strength of the Pulandian Field Airport, although there are still a few Liaoyang Air Force squadrons that have not yet arrived here, but in terms of the current strength, the Pulandian Field Airport is fully capable of organizing a large-scale air assault, and now it is only waiting for the order of the General Staff.

Leaving the airport, Su Shiyu rushed to the Pulandian City Defense Headquarters, met with Jiang Zuobin, the commander of the city defense, and learned about the current battlefield situation.

According to Jiang Zuobin's briefing, at present the Jinzhou Isthmus has been completely controlled by the squadron, and the Japanese army has retreated to Dalian, and according to the air force's reconnaissance in the morning, the main force of the Japanese Combined Fleet has already appeared in Dalian Bay, and it can use naval guns to bombard the Jinzhou Isthmus at any time; because the Jinzhou Isthmus is very narrow, the artillery of the Japanese warships can even directly sweep through the isthmus and hit the Jinzhou Bay on the opposite side from Dalian Bay. Therefore. At present, the greatest threat to the army units is not the Japanese Army, which is holding Dalian and Lushun, but the Japanese Combined Fleet in Fulian Bay.

But on the other hand, also according to the reconnaissance of the Air Force, the Japanese Combined Fleet seems to be withdrawing, as for whether it is worried about the attack of the Chinese Air Force or the submarine forces of the Chinese Navy. This is unknown.

As for how the Japanese Combined Fleet will participate in the Battle of the Brigade Brigade, it is impossible to judge exactly, but one thing is clear, as long as the air force participates in the war. It would be impossible for the Japanese Combined Fleet to provide effective artillery support to the Japanese Army, after all, the strength of the Chinese Air Force should not be underestimated.

After Jiang Zuobin finished introducing the situation on the front line, Su Shiyu did not immediately return to the airport, but carefully checked the reconnaissance photos taken in the sky over Dalian and Lushun a few days ago in the urban defense headquarters.

According to the information provided by the reconnaissance photos, Su Shiyu can confirm that the Japanese army has completed the construction of fortifications and seems to be desperately transporting military supplies and supplies to Dalian and Lushun, and half-sunken Japanese cargo ships can be seen everywhere in Dalian Bay. Some are the achievements of the Navy, some are the results of the Air Force.

A notable one. The details are that the Japanese have destroyed all the railways from Jinzhou to Lushun, which is obviously a defense against Chinese train artillery, but since the engineering units have arrived at the front, the repair of the railway is only a matter of time.

Thinking of this, Su Shiyu decided to go to the railway with Jiang Zuobin to have a look.

Su Shiyu and Jiang Zuobin rushed to the Pulandian Railway Station, just in time for a train carrying equipment for the engineering troops to enter the station, and they were about to unload the goods, the two were very strange, because the engineering troops were stationed in the south, not in Pulandian.

, Wanbi North

But what made them even more strange was still to come, and what came down from this train was a strangely dressed army, and on a hot day, both officers and men were wearing a strange costume made of rubber and canvas, and a pig-faced mask on their faces, and after the train entered the station, they immediately got off the train and organized the movement of goods, and did not ask for assistance.

Unloaded from the stuffy tank carriage of the train is a one-man high steel can, the tank body is painted with skeletons, very eye-catching, but also very terrifying, in addition to these steel cans, there are boxes of heavy mortar shells, and the outside of the wooden box is also painted with skeletons, which makes people panic.

"What's that?" Jiang Zuobin asked Su Shiyu.

Su Shiyu knew the answer, but he didn't directly answer what it was, but said lightly: "A very powerful weapon, but it is also very dangerous, it must be ordered directly by the General Staff, or ordered by the president, otherwise, no one has the right to use these weapons." What it is, you'll understand it when you use it, but right now, I can't say

Jiang Zuobin understood what Su Shiyu meant. didn't ask any more questions, and accompanied Su Shiyu around the train station for a while, and then rushed back to the Pulandian City Defense Headquarters together.

At this time, there was one more guest in the city defense command, and it was none other than Jiang Dengxuan, the commander of the Air Force.

Jiang Deng was selected, not only to be ordered to move the Air Force Headquarters to Pulandian, but also to bring Su Shiyu an order.

"After dawn tomorrow, the first large-scale air assault on the Japanese army in Dalian will be launched."

This order was directly issued by the General Staff, which also means that starting tomorrow morning, the Battle of Dalian in Arthur will officially begin.
