The red sun rose on the horizon, and against the morning glow, a heavy bomber came in four directions, flying in a southeasterly direction, flying steadily at an altitude of two thousand meters, and the low roar of the motive seemed to be waking up the earth.

This is a "vulture" heavy bomber, stationed at the Kumagakushi Air Force Forward Base, and in fact, this bomber took off from the Kumagakushi field airfield.

This "vulture." The fuselage of the heavy bomber was painted with the standard squadron number, and judging by the pattern and numbers, it belonged to the "Nighthawk." squadron, and it is an air liaison aircraft, or rather an air command aircraft.

The captain of this "Vulture" is the "Nighthawk". Lieutenant Colonel Qin Bing, commander of the squadron, commanded the bombers to take to the air this time, and his mission, as yesterday, was still to go to the airspace above Dalian Bay, first, to reconnoitre, and second, to provide artillery units with firing Zhuyuan, so as to facilitate the train artillery to attack the Japanese defense line in Dalian

According to the flight meter, "Fly all the way from Kumatake Castle." This "Vulture" flew as a single aircraft, and along the way it was the superior air control zone of the Chinese Air Force. There is no need to equip the bombers with fighter escorts, and only after arriving in Pulandian, fighters will take off from the Pulandian field airfield to meet them, and they will always escort the "vultures" to the skies over Dalian Bay and provide air alert tasks when the "vultures" are cruising.

Today, however, there are not only fighter planes, but also large groups of bombers, mainly light bombers, which will go to the skies over Dalian together with this "vulture" heavy bomber commanded by Qin Bing to carry out tactical bombing missions.

Qin Bing commanded this "vulture." The heavy bomber came all the way from Kumayue City, did not encounter enemy planes on the way, and the motive operation was also very good, he and the crew members were full of confidence in this aerial reconnaissance mission, in fact, in their opinion, the reconnaissance mission is secondary, and the main thing is to act as an eye for the artillery units on the ground, and guide the artillery to the correct firing position, ordinary reconnaissance planes and light bombers are not suitable for this task, because they do not carry radios, and only "vultures" can carry that set of bulky wireless telegraph equipment, And pull up a sufficiently long antenna.

Yesterday, Qin Bing and his crew had already performed the same task once, and they worked very well with the artillery, precisely through the "vultures." Under the command of the Chinese Army, the train artillery of the Chinese Army was able to knock out several batteries set up by the Japanese army in the port, so that the Japanese army's barrage and artillery bombardment of the Jinzhou Isthmus was completely stopped, and now the Jinzhou Isthmus has been unimpeded, and more Chinese Army units are successively assembling the attack positions in Dalian through the narrow bee waist zone of the Jinzhou Isthmus.

In addition to suppressing Japanese land artillery fire, "Vultures. He also has an important task for the train artillery unit, that is, to implement an artillery blockade of the waters of Dalian Bay to prevent the Japanese fleet from approaching Dalian Bay and carrying out naval artillery fire; in the face of such a coordinated tactic of air and land, unless the Japanese army can regain air supremacy, otherwise, the Jinzhou Isthmus is a thoroughfare for the Chinese army units.

Qin Bing commanded the "vulture" to take off before dawn, and after a long flight, it was now close to Pulandian, and he also saw several aviation landmarks on the ground, and he knew that it would not be long before he could see the group of planes taking off from Pulandian Field Airport.

Sure enough, a few minutes later, when Qin Bing's "Vulture" heavy bomber swept over Pulandian, a squadron of fighters had already followed from the rear, fighting with the "Vulture." Maintaining the same altitude of 2,000 meters, it quickly flew ahead of the "vulture".

Taking advantage of this time, Qin Bing tested the radio station again, and successively contacted the radio stations in Pulandian and Jinzhou, and everything was fine, so he was waiting to fly over Dalian Bay.

After another distance in the air, I can finally see the sea. At this time, this fleet has become very large, more than 100 large and small planes have maintained a flight altitude of 2,000 meters, flying with the guide plane flying at the front, and after arriving at the coastline, they change their course and fly southwest along the coastline.

Finally, the vast Dalian Bay was ahead, and at this time, according to the battle plan, the aircraft group was immediately divided into several assault forces, dispersed, and pounced on their respective targets, and only the "vulture" commanded by Qin Bing continued to fly towards Dalian Bay under the escort of two fighters.

Since it did not carry any aerial bombs, the "vulture" could not directly attack any target on the ground or sea, and its mission was only reconnaissance and artillery firing.

Qin Bing commanded the "vultures" to fly over Dalian Bay and circled around the bay, but nothing appeared, the sea was almost empty, only those half-sunken ships warned any warships and merchant ships that tried to approach Dalian Bay in vain.

On the contrary, on the sea of Sanshan Island at the mouth of Dalian Bay, Qin Bing appeared two destroyers of the Japanese Navy, but first, the target was too unworthy of artillery bombardment, and second, the range was also somewhat "a cart of guns may not be enough." Even if it's enough. The accuracy of the shooting will also be greater, so Qin Bing let go of the two small Japanese warships that were desperately fleeing to the open sea, commanded the "vultures" to change course, and flew towards the city of Dalian again.

By the time the "vulture" heavy bomber commanded by Qin Bing flew over the city of Dalian, what he saw was already billowing black smoke, soaring into the sky, and the group of attack planes that had taken off from Pulandian had already carried out bombing, and the entire sky over Dalian had become a forbidden descendant of the Chinese Air Force, and the Japanese fortifications in the city of Dalian had also become unrecognizable under the attack of the Air Force.

In addition to the Japanese fortifications in the urban area, in the suburbs of Dalian, the Japanese army was also bombed, and in the sky, the entire Dalian area was full of black smoke, which was the effect of incendiary bombs, while ordinary aerial bombs left large and small craters on the ground, and between these craters, the Japanese fortifications appeared so fragile and vulnerable.

The Japanese anti-aircraft fire was very weak, and it was mainly machine-gun, and once fired, it was often suppressed by air fire, so the whole air raid process can be said to be very uneventful.

In just over 10 minutes, the group of attack planes that took off from the Pulandian Field Airfield completed its bombing mission and began to return one after another, until the "vulture" heavy bomber commanded by Qin Bing was still hovering over Dalian, and in order to protect this slow-moving bomber, the number of fighters providing escort missions for it increased to six, which happened to be a fighter detachment.

After the Pulandian attack plane group returned, Qin Bing ordered the telegraph operator to shoot Zhu Yuanze into code for the shelling targets he had just identified.

Soon, the cannonballs of the train cannon flew from the direction of the Jinzhou Isthmus and landed on the ground and exploded, a powerful shock wave stirring the air, even at an altitude of two thousand meters, in the roar of that motive, Qin Bing seemed to be able to hear the explosion from the ground.

However, due to the close to the maximum range of the train cannon, the accuracy of the first round of shelling was very poor, and it almost did not hit the target that Qin Bing wanted to attack, so after the shelling stopped, Qin Bing once again ordered the telegraph operator to shoot the telegram and correct the shooting of Zhu Yuan.

"Boom! Poison! ”

Soon, the train guns opened fire again, and this time the salvo was extremely accurate, destroying not only a front-line ammunition depot, but also a building that appeared to be a command post.

, Wanbi North

Some Japanese soldiers escaped from the half-collapsed command post, rushed to the trenches in a panic, and then took refuge in an anti-artillery bunker.

Qin Bing could see clearly with a telescope in the observation window of the plane, so he immediately ordered the telegraph operator to take a report in the direction of Jinzhou, and asked the artillery to concentrate their artillery fire to bombard the few anti-artillery bunkers that were very close to each other.

Just as Qin Bing was bombarding the anti-artillery bunker, the supreme commander of the Japanese forces in Lushun and Dalian, Fukushima Yasumanori, was squatting in an anti-artillery bunker, cursing the four heavy bombers of the Chinese Air Force hovering in the sky in the most vicious language.

As a soldier, Fukushima Yasumasa knows very well what the heavy bomber is doing, the Chinese artillery can fire the artillery so accurately, it is impossible without an air observation post, and according to the current battlefield situation, the air observation post that the Chinese can use can only be the Chinese Air Force heavy bomber hovering over Fulian.

Just a few minutes ago, Fukushima Yasumasa was still in the command post, but it was precisely because of the extremely accurate shelling of the Chinese artillery that the command post was directly hit by a heavy shell, fortunately it was a reinforced concrete structure, otherwise, Fukushima Yasumasa was likely to be killed by a shell in the command post like the Russian major general Kontrachenko in the Russo-Japanese War.

At present, Chinese artillery is still violently bombarding the positions near the anti-artillery bunker, and more and more Japanese soldiers are hiding in the anti-artillery bunker, and some frightened soldiers are even crying in the anti-artillery bunker, which greatly annoys Fukushima Yasumasa.

The shouting of the officers in the darkness, mingled with the explosion of shells coming from outside the anti-artillery bunkers, and Fukushima Yasumasa was distraught and unable to concentrate.

The shelling lasted about half an hour before stopping, just as all the Japanese officers and men were glad that the anti-artillery bunker had not been directly hit by shells. Suddenly, there was the sound of an artillery shell exploding outside, and compared to the shelling just now, the shelling was now more violent, and the sound of the shell explosion was somewhat different.

Yasumasa Fukushima jumped up, grabbed the field phone, and contacted the commander of the abandoned line.

Fukushima Yasumasa guessed correctly, the shelling just now was caused by the Chinese field artillery on the front line, and the Chinese infantry had already appeared in the front of the forward positions.

There are all kinds of signs that the Chinese Army's attack on Dalian has begun. If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the muscle, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!
