On the surface of the Yellow Sea, the night has gradually receded, and the sky has quickly turned into a light blue flotilla composed of dozens of ships of various forms, plowing white waves on the sea. The fleet included cruise ships full of soldiers and cargo ships full of cargo. On their periphery, several old Sea-Breeze-class destroyers cruised around the slow fleet.

On every ship of the fleet, the sun flag is flying. On the escort destroyers, the flag of the Imperial Japanese Navy was waving.

Now the entire Yellow Sea is under the control of the Japanese Navy, and the Combined Fleet seems to have complete control over the sea power. The Kuomintang's Beiyang Fleet was only cowering in the Bohai Bay, relying on the heavy protection of submarines, mines, and planes, and acting as a "transport ship", and it did not dare to come out and have a dignified naval battle with the powerful Japanese Navy!

On the "Sea Breeze", the flagship of the escort fleet, Rear Admiral Yamamoto 56 took a leisurely walk on the aft veranda, occasionally doing a few stretching and relaxation exercises. However, he is not the commander of this destroyer detachment, and most of the destroyers in the Japanese Navy are "bad students" who have no future, and the top students like Yamamoto Isoroku, who ranked seventh in the third phase of the Etajima Naval Academy, will not come to do this errand. At present, this historically famous Japanese naval general is the head of the technical section of the Japanese Naval Aviation Headquarters.

This time, Yamamoto did not stay in the comfort of Tokyo, but went to Lushun on a destroyer, just to see with his own eyes the new dive bomber of Shina, which was crossed. This aircraft has been the hottest topic in the Naval Aviation Headquarters in the past two days, and everyone is patting their heads to guess how good or bad its performance is. However, Yamamoto thought that he should have seen the aircraft in battle with his own eyes in order to finally determine whether it would pose much of a threat to the Japanese navy, which was about to break through into the Bohai Bay. In fact, he's now waiting for the China's plane to blow up this hapless convoy!

The Chinese did not make Yamamoto wait too long, and just after seven o'clock in the morning, Daisaku Yamashita of the destroyer Kaifeng saw dozens of black dots flying from the southwest from the telescope, so he hurriedly pressed the alarm bell. Immediately, a loud air raid siren sounded on the Sea Breeze. All the sailors immediately took their positions, and they skillfully operated the anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, the muzzles and muzzles of the black holes facing the sky to the southwest of them.

Yamamoto took the binoculars from the adjutant beside him and began to look at the sky to the southwest, and soon the Chinese's plane flew to a distance that Yamamoto could clearly identify. He could see through the telescope the number and appearance of the opposing planes. The Chinese have a very single type of combat aircraft, namely a fighter with the ME-1 as a prototype, a dive bomber and a reconnaissance aircraft. Yamamoto Fifty-six had long known the shape of such aircraft, but what he saw at this time was not the famous ME-1 series. Like the previous ME-1 series, it was a biplane, with a stubby star engine, larger and more slender than the ME-1, with an all-metal fuselage, a streamlined fairing mounted on the non-retractable main landing gear, and a three-piece plexiglas windshield for the pilot. In addition, there are about 20 planes with a bomb that looks big on the belly, which is supposed to be a bombing type, and the other 20 planes that don't have a bomb on it are fighter jets, right?

The plane of the Chinese people is really simple and practical! It is much better than the garbage produced by Japanese companies such as Mitsubishi, Nakajima and 11 Aki. Yamamoto cursed in his heart, and began to silently pray that these good-looking planes would fly slower, so that the destroyer, which lacked anti-aircraft firepower, could easily take them down.

Just when Yamamoto 56 was praying to Aunt Amaterasu, as the battlefield commander of the bombing, Major Long Yuhui, who graduated from the first phase of the Cheung Chau Island Naval School, appeared full of confidence. Because the weather is so good today that it is very easy to dive bombers for bombing. In addition, the current sky belongs entirely to China, and he has never seen the fighter planes of the Japanese at all, but has only heard from those brothers in the air force. At the time of the battle in western Liaoning, the f-1B fighters of the Air Force easily cleaned up all the devil's planes, and it seemed that the f-2A fighters who escorted themselves had nothing to do.

Thinking of this, he looked down at the Japanese convoy on the sea, which was growing little by little.

There seem to be twenty or thirty ships, and there are so many of these Japanese ships! The bombing is not finished, and the naval aviation has already sunk more than a dozen ships in the past two days, and there are still so many ...... Seeing his plane getting closer and closer, Long Yuhui's heart also began to tense, although it was not the first time he had done this kind of work of dropping bombs on other people's ships. But I don't know how, at this moment, his heart is still beating wildly.

As an anti-aircraft shell exploded under his plane, Long Yuhui's mind immediately recovered. Now only about three kilometers away from the target, the silhouette of the warship of the Japanese Third Fleet is already clearly visible. Countless bullets and fragments of shells flew beneath him, and he picked up the radio intercom and issued the following command to his formation: "Attention units, attention to all flying units, attack according to the original plan, according to the previous plan... Targeted attacks. Attack in accordance with previously delineated targets. The 1st Strike Group follows me, target the enemy transport! With that, he pulled the lever to the right. Because he found that his plane had reached the sky above the target. With his action, the plane began to tilt to the left and make a left lateral turn, and then slowly broke away from the formation, and soon the optical sight on the plane locked on the largest transport ship in the entire Japanese transport fleet, a large cargo ship of more than 10,000 tons. Then he adjusted the speed of the plane slightly, aimed between the first and second smokes of the freighter, and then jerked the joystick down the pile. This is a movement he has trained countless times. Accompanied by violent vibrations.

The plane swooped down like a swooping goshawk towards its prey, and at the same time, the air-driven sounding device installed on the air intake of the plane began to run at high speed, and a terrible and terrifying sound came from there.

Lou Longlong......

A huge explosion sounded, and the 200-kilogram bomb directly hit the 10,000-ton giant ship, and a huge red mushroom cloud rose in the center of the giant ship, quickly enveloping half of the ship's hull.

"Eight grids!" Yamamoto, who witnessed Long Yuhui's wonderful performance, scolded a lot and quickly fell down on the deck.

To know that it was a freighter full of weapons and ammunition that was bombed! Then a loud sound like a mountain shook in Yamamoto's ears, and the ammunition on the hapless ship had been detonated! It's just that in an instant, this 10,000-ton giant ship that was still majestic just now, riding the wind and waves on the ocean surface, disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

However, Yamamoto did not have time to grieve the terrible losses suffered by the Japanese Empire, but stared at the Chinese planes in the sky with wide eyes. Unlike the current chaotic bombing by the Japanese naval aviation, the attacks of these Chinese pilots appeared more sophisticated and disciplined. A total of 21 dive bombers were divided into seven groups, and each group of three planes attacked in a dive bombing manner. Because in this way, above each warship there are at least three aircraft diving at the same time. This greatly dispersed the opponent's anti-aircraft firepower. Each attack lasts about a minute, and the interval between attacks is about half a minute. For a while, the entire ocean surface was shrouded in huge water columns and fireballs, and in the eyes of Yamamoto Fifty-six, who was lying on his stomach watching the battle, those planes that made a terrible scream when they swooped down were the future of the Imperial Japanese Navy. That should be the future of the entire Great Japanese Empire! Since the China Navy, which does not even have a single battleship, can rely on powerful aviation to severely humiliate an old naval power like Japan, then of course Japan can also develop a powerful naval aviation to surpass Britain and the United States in a very short period of time, and thus become the hegemon in the Pacific Ocean!

Jinan, Wanji Garden.

Luo Yaoguo stood in front of the huge map in his study, holding the battle report he had just received.

This was a good news personally sent by Rear Admiral Zhao Zheng, commander of the Beiyang Fleet. At seven o'clock this morning, twenty-one of the latest A-2A dive bombers were about 100 southeast of Lushunkou

kilometers of the Yellow Sea bombed a Japanese convoy and, according to the reports of naval aviation, six transport ships were sunk, the largest of which was estimated at the 12,000-ton Asahi Maru. And the loss was only one dive bomber shot down.

If the report from the Navy is true, this is a remarkable achievement.

Luo Yaoguo's finger lightly swiped over the map, muttering to himself: "The narrow straits of Lushunkou, Changshan Islands, and Penglai are covered with mines, like a huge iron gate, blocking all intruders. "It can also be used to close the door and beat the dog!" Zhao Zheng, who was standing behind Luo Yaoguo, grinned and interjected in a low voice.

"Will you trade the lives of the army for the glory of the navy?" Luo Yaoguo asked in a calm voice, "Han Yu, are you sure that you can completely annihilate the enemy who came to attack?" "Nope." Zhao Zheng shook his head very dryly: "But the navy can definitely achieve very considerable results, just like today, there should be six steamers, almost 40,000 tons, full of goods and people." A grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Actually, I can kill all of them today, there are four submarines following them, and the aviation is only partly dispatched." "Why don't you kill them all?" Luo Yaoguo asked himself and replied: "After killing them, no one will come, and those Japanese battleships will not come." ”

Zhao Zheng smiled lightly: "I don't know how many will come?" If only the entire Japanese Combined Fleet could come, maybe we would be able to change the ranking of the entire world's naval strength in a few days. He shook his head again: "If it was still the era of the Russo-Japanese War, maybe they would gamble everything and press the whole country down, and come up with a complete victory or a complete defeat." This is the essence of Japanese military science, they do not like to reserve a retreat like we Chinese, they want to bet on the fortunes of the country.

However, over the years, 1 Japan seems to be a big business, and it is not very willing to gamble on net worth. But it's not that I don't gamble at all, but I don't like to gamble very much......... I think they're going to suffer a lot of hard work. ”

Kure Port, Japan.

This Japanese military port was heavily guarded today, and there were sailors with white leggings everywhere, carrying Type 30 rifles and opening the cordon. It is said that His Majesty the Emperor will inspect the navy and ensure His Majesty's safety.

In the military port, warships and warships are neatly arranged. "Nagato", "Mutsu", "Hinata"

"Fuso", "Yamashiro", "Kongo", "Haruna", "Kirishima", "Akagi", "Kaga", "Kako", "Aoba", "Kinugasa", "Myoko", "Nachi", "Ashigara", "Haguro", "Tenryu", "Tatsuda", "Tama", "Kuma", "Kitakami", "Oi", "Kiso", "Nagara", "Isuzu", "Natori", "Yura", "Kinuro", "Abu Limited", "11 Nai,......,

The essence of the Imperial Japanese Navy, the third largest in the world, is here. Some of these warships were battlecruisers purchased from the British, some were self-built battleships, and there were also the "Nagato" and "Mutsu" carrying the world's largest caliber 410mm guns......

The sailors stood on the side of the hill, their uniforms were painted and motionless, only the shawls and streamers of the navy uniforms moved with the wind.

On the battleship "Fuso", a group of people gathered at the stern of the ship, with a military band on the side, the Japanese naval military song was played ticking, and a flag of the rising sun was slowly raised.

On February 10, 1931, the First Foreign Fleet of the Japanese Navy was expanded, with the battleship "Fuso", the battleship "Hyuga", the battlecruiser "Kongo", the battlecruiser "Kirishima", the heavy cruiser "Kako", "Aoba", "Kinugasa", and the light cruiser "Tenryu"

"Tatsuda", "Tama", "Kuma", destroyers, "Mine Wind", "Nokaze", "Wave Wind", "Numakaze,......... and other twenty-six large warships, combined with the fourteen warships that had arrived in Arthur, to form a huge naval fleet.

Along with this came the commander-in-chief of the 1st Foreign Fleet. Vice Admiral Koichi Shiozawa, commander of the 1st Foreign Fleet, stood in the middle of the queue.

The brief ceremony was quickly completed, and Lieutenant General Shiozawa Koichi never smiled, but only kept his face strained. It is as if I have not heard the words of encouragement to others. It wasn't until Eisuke Yamamoto, commander of the Combined Fleet, who had arrived from Fukuyama City, Hiroshima, walked in front of him that he stiffened and saluted.

"Shiozawa-kun, the fate of the empire and navy for the next hundred years is in our hands. Contemptible and the entire combined fleet of the Navy, all standing behind them"

Shiozawa Koichi didn't answer, just looked at the steel giant ship floating around, and said softly, "Got it"!
