readx; No one knew that the outside world was paying close attention, and the main force of the Chinese Navy, which the navy had worked so hard to find, had gone straight to Sasebo in Nagasaki. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Speaking of which, the sea area of the East China Sea is actually not very large, the distance from Shanghai to Ben is only about 800 kilometers in a straight line, and the distance from Jeju Island in North Korea to Taiwan is only more than 800 kilometers from north to south.

Obviously, the Chinese navy itself knew that it had not been hiding for too long, so after going out to sea, it first turned southeast, avoiding the many reconnaissance ships near the Tsushima Strait, and then turned 70 degrees and headed straight for the Honsasebo military port.

And what did the Chinese Navy do in Sasebo? Quite simply, the Chinese Navy intends to use carrier-based aircraft to carry out a large-scale air raid on the Sasebo military port!

Since aircraft carriers have been in the limelight during naval exercises in the past two years, even conservative air force leaders have had to pay attention to this result, and the two active admirals in the navy, Sa Zhenbing and Cheng Biguang, have both attached great importance to the role of aircraft carriers and have formulated a series of new combat theories with aircraft carriers as the core, including the high-speed aviation mobile fleet. The most obvious sign of this was the creation of the First Air Fleet.

You must know that although the previous aircraft carriers were attached to the First Fleet, they were generally used as auxiliary forces to cooperate with the battleships, but the establishment of the First Air Fleet broke this example, although the First Air Fleet still belongs to the First Fleet, but it has achieved the same status as the First Battlefleet, and you must know that in the establishment sequence of the Chinese Navy, the First Fleet, like the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet, is to some extent an administrative establishment. In specific operations, several fleets are often combined into a task force to carry out operations.

For example, this time the operation at sea was to form two strike groups with the First Air Fleet and the First Battlefleet as the core, respectively, with a large number of auxiliary forces.

The most important thing for these reorganizations for naval aviation is that naval aviation has the right to read freely, and it is even more important, you must know that the main combat force in this air raid operation is the four aircraft carriers, and the four battleships that follow are just to escort the escort.

Chen Shaokuan, who was standing on the bridge of the Hengshan aircraft carrier, looked at the planes on the deck ready to go, and thought that these planes would soon launch an air raid war that would be enough to cause changes in the history of the world's navies.

Chen Shaokuan, like other senior Chinese naval generals, was born in the early naval school, but he had no experience of studying abroad in his early years, and joined the Nationalist Navy after the Xinhai Revolution with a large number of junior naval officers. This is not to say that he made a personal choice, but that it was the common choice of the vast majority of naval officers back then, nor that they were willing and optimistic about Chen Jingyun's development, but that they had no other choice, and if they wanted to continue to be in the navy, they could only take refuge in Chen Jingyun.

Chen Shaokuan's ability is not bad, and the development speed of the Chinese Navy is too fast, and there is an extreme shortage of qualified officers, so the only officers are promoted quickly, and in just a few years he was promoted to lieutenant commander and served as the captain of a light cruiser.

During World War I, he was sent to England with a large number of naval officers for an investigation, and this kind of investigation was actually a kind of advanced training, otherwise with Chen Shaokuan's qualifications, if he did not continue his training, he would have ended his life as a colonel. During his time in the UK, he even participated in several naval battles with the British Navy, accumulating a wealth of experience.

After returning to China in 1919, he was promoted to colonel, but it didn't take long for Chen Shaokuan to be interested in aircraft carriers, and took the initiative to apply for transfer to the naval aviation, and even in order to master the essence of naval aviation, he also specially went to learn to fly an airplane. Of course, there is a more important reason here, that is, although Chen Jingyun did not say it explicitly, he has always emphasized that the command of naval aviation forces must be commanded by the aviation forces themselves, so if you want to command the aviation forces in the future, it is best to be a pilot.

In 1922, Chen Shaokuan was appointed as the captain of the Huashan aircraft carrier, which can be regarded as his luck, in order to give more naval officers the opportunity to become captains, so the Navy's important positions, including captains, fleet commanders, and staff officers, have a tenure of only about one year, even in extremely special circumstances, only more than two years. After all, there are so many officers in the navy, and there are only so many warships, if one person sits for a long time, it will be difficult for others to climb up.

However, just when Chen Shaokuan's term of office was coming to an end, the Sino-Chinese War broke out in 1923, and he participated in the East China Sea naval battle in the last part of his one-year term. After the victory in the naval battle, not only the officers of the battleship were promoted, but also many officers on the aircraft carrier.

With his qualifications in naval battles in the East China Sea, Chen Shaokuan crossed the threshold that most middle-level naval officers could not cross, and was successfully promoted to rear admiral in 1928, and after two years in the Admiralty, he was transferred to the Second Air Group as commander in the first half of 1930.

The First Air Fleet is under the jurisdiction of the First Air Group and the Second Air Brigade, of which the First Air Group is under the jurisdiction of the Huashan aircraft carrier and the Huangshan aircraft carrier, while the Second Air Group is under the jurisdiction of the Hengshan aircraft carrier and the Lushan aircraft carrier.

And his luck is really good, just half a year after taking office, he encountered the second Sino-Chinese war, and now he is leading the Second Air Brigade and the First Air Group to prepare to launch an air attack on the military port of Bensasebo.

If this battle can be successful, it will not only be able to achieve a huge position for the naval aviation, but will also be extremely important for its continued promotion in the future.

"General, the preparation of the fighter is almost complete!" The chief of staff beside him walked in front of Chen Shaokuan.

After Chen Shaokuan hummed, he raised his left hand and looked at his watch, and saw that the hand of time was almost at the appointed time, so he immediately said: "Attack on time when the time comes!" ”

At the same time, on the Huashan aircraft carrier, Vice Admiral Guan Shijie, commander of the First Air Fleet, was also standing on the bridge, and on the deck downwind of the bridge, a large number of planes were already lined up on the deck, and some planes were being raised from the hangar to overtime through the elevator.

"This battle is related to the prosperity of the country and the nation, and there must be no mistakes! Do you understand? Guan Shijie looked at the colonel in front of him who was already wearing a pilot's combat uniform.

The pilot in front of him is named Feng Haoran, although this person's name is ordinary, and the rank of colonel is not high, but his identity is somewhat special, he is the son of Feng Qin, who died of illness at an early age, Feng Qin was the chief of staff of the National Army, and died of illness in the war in southern Jiangsu, and was posthumously awarded the rank of general. Later, Chen Jingyun also took care of his family, although the Feng family lost Feng Qin, but the status and power have not decreased, although there is some guilt for Feng Qin, but more of it is for others to see. This Feng Haoran did not follow in his father's footsteps to join the army, but joined the navy, and was still a naval aviation, and now he is the commander of the fifth air wing, with the rank of colonel.

China's aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are not subordinate to each other, but read separately, usually when in the port, warships are warships, carrier-based aircraft wings are training on the shore, aircraft carriers will be stationed on aircraft carriers when they want to go to sea to perform tasks, and the aviation wings stationed in this are not the same every time, the reason is very simple, because the Chinese Navy now has four aircraft carriers, but the Navy has five carrier-based aircraft aviation wings, originally this fifth carrier-based aircraft was modified aviation by Taishan, but after Taishan was decommissionedHowever, the Fifth Carrier-based Aircraft Aviation Wing was not disbanded, but continued to retain its establishment and even replaced it with new aircraft. In the case of more planes and fewer aircraft carriers, every time they go to sea to perform a mission, they are rotated.

Since aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft are separated, and operations are also dominated by carrier-based aircraft, this is why the actual commander of the air group is not the commander of the aircraft carrier.

Feng Haoran said with a resolute face: "Haoran understands that if you don't win this battle, you will become a benevolent!" ”

In this battle, he Feng Haoran not only served as the wing commander of the Fifth Air Wing, but also the supreme battlefield commander of the first wave of attacks, and he would personally lead the first wave of attack aircraft to attack Sasebo.

In the morning, when the sun had not yet fully exposed the sea, the four aircraft carriers of the First Air Group and the Second Air Group had already begun to take off planes one after another, and the planes that had been lined up on the deck took off one after another to meet the sky.

At 6:15 a.m., more than 150 planes from four aircraft carriers flew toward the Sasebo Military Port in Nagasaki. And when this wave of planes all took off, the intense work on the four aircraft carriers did not stop, and the aircrew continued to fight with sweat to prepare the second wave of attack groups.

At 6:50 a.m., the four aircraft carriers had already completed the take-off of the second wave of attack groups, and the second wave of more than 140 planes flew from the skies of the First Air Fleet to the Honsasebo military port.

When these two waves of aircraft were released, most of the more than 300 planes carried by the four aircraft carriers in the First Air Fleet had already been released, leaving only a small number of direct guard fighters. But the work on the aircraft carrier did not stop, and the flight crew began to prepare the spare aircraft, on the one hand, to prevent the air attack on the fleet, and on the other hand, to prepare for the third wave of attacks after replenishing the first wave of aircraft returning home.

He said, 'The Honsasebo Military Port will usher in the largest air attack in human history!'
