Looking at the huge pillar of smoke and the raging "sparrows" in the sky, Shoji Ono's eyes were about to pop out.

As a naval pilot, he is very proud to return from studying in France, because the navy can see farther after having an airplane, so he cherishes the French Newburgh under him, and usually does not even allow others to touch it. It's just that he didn't expect that when he was carefully maintaining the planes in Sasebo, he heard that China was also equipped with planes and appeared in the war in a vain attempt to recapture South Manchuria, so the War Department wanted the Navy to provide aerial reconnaissance support.

Those useless armies! This is the idea of all the navy people, the state allocates tens of millions of dollars every year but raises a nest of moths that even backward China cannot defeat, and they still have the face to say that the navy is corrupt, at least the navy can still maintain the world level, and even the equipment of aircraft is only one year later than that of Europe. But whining is complaining, the land-sea dispute is an internal matter, and in the face of the crisis in Kanto Prefecture, the Navy still dispatched all forces except the First Fleet. As for the First Fleet, it is not possible to dispatch it if it wants to, and all those big guys will consume at least millions of national dollars at a time, and will also consume a small amount of Welsh white coal reserves, of course, the most important thing is that China has no targets worthy of their dispatch.

So he and five other planes were sent to Lushun to support the army, but they didn't expect to see such a horrific scene on their first mission. Amaterasu is back! Are these all Chinese planes?

Even though he heard about the pilots throwing bombs in the Italian-Turkish War during his stay in France, and practiced throwing bombs with his French comrades, he was still stunned in the face of the blooming fire points on the ground at this moment, and the clouds of explosion smoke were still stunned. And I also learned how to throw bombs down.

Asia's first army equipped with airplanes was actually ravaged by the people who had stepped under their feet in the past, and their surprise turned into anger, and they pulled out their pistols and rushed towards the nearest plane.

Choi had just begun to cheer his victory when he heard the pilot shout, and then a Japanese plane almost passed by in a rapidly deflected wing. "Turn back, come back and I'll kill him." Choi was startled by the sudden appearance of the plane, but when he saw that the Japanese pilot was only holding a pistol, his courage suddenly grew like an inflated balloon, and he shouted to open the light machine gun safety in the cockpit and prepare for the attack.

Neither the Wehrmacht nor Japan had ever experienced air combat, and it was the first time that they had fought in an airplane, and neither plane was born for air combat. Neuburgh, France, claims to be the best aircraft in Europe at present, and its opponent "Sparrow" is the Curtis JN-2 trainer that should have been born two years later.

Although the "sparrows" next to them were also eager to try, they were afraid that entering the battle circle would affect the movements of their comrades and let the enemy escape, so they simply dispersed and handed over to Cui Brain Shell to deal with.

"Left! Left! Cui braincase operated the machine gun, and Newburgh in the crosshair flickered left and right, which made him extremely angry, and several times he ran out when he saw that he could aim, and his temper was already so hot that he almost screamed and crashed into it. The sight of the two planes circling back and forth also alarmed the Japanese troops on the ground, and many infantry shouted for cheering for the encircled Newburg, but they also did not dare to shoot indiscriminately, for fear of hurting their pilots.

Shoji Ono, who had studied flying in France for a year, was obviously more technically superior than the boys of the flying team who had become a monk in Hakuding, patiently circling left and right to do horizontal maneuvers, and when he reached a certain height after several consecutive laps, he suddenly jumped upward, and made a contemptuous gesture to Cui's braincase.

If Shoji Ono had won this tactic in ten years, he could easily shoot down the Sparrow with a height advantage, but now there is still more than a month before the First World War, and there is no machine gun on his plane, so the pilot who piloted the Sparrow simply gritted his teeth and suddenly made an extremely bold move! I saw that the sparrow first dived to make an offensive move, and after rushing for a certain distance, it suddenly began to jump, as the speed became faster and faster, the angle became larger and larger, and finally the whole plane once appeared to fly upside down! Flying upside down? Head down! While the Japanese soldiers on the ground were dumbfounded, the sparrow made another roll and returned to level flight.

Inmaiman turns! Yang Qiu would definitely jump up with joy if he saw this scene, this world-famous air combat action he had talked to the boys of the flight team when he inspected the aviation school, but he didn't expect it to really appear! The German pilot, who sat in the back seat of one of the Sparrows, was even more surprised, and a few months later he brought this tactical maneuver back to Europe, naming the pilot named Yu Lei Turn.

Shoji Ono was also taken aback by this action, but when he woke up from this series of dazzles, he found that the other party was actually at the same height as him, and the grinning black-faced guy in the back seat still had a huge light machine gun in his hand.

"Damn." When the two words were still echoing in Shoji Ono's throat, Cui's brain shell, which was only 100 meters away, opened fire. Although the army-standard light machine gun was not very suitable for aircraft, it quickly punched a series of bullet holes in Newburgh when the enemy was not even able to fight back. Shoji Ono was so frightened that he quickly lowered his altitude, but left the tail under the muzzle, and after a barrage of bullets swept there, the speed of the downward rush caused the bullet-ridden tail to snap suddenly.

The Newburgh, which had just made the Japanese soldiers proud, was like a fly that had its head pinched off, and no matter how hard Shoji Ono tried, Newburgh that had lost its tail still fell headlong.

"Haha."

Choi, who didn't know that he had experienced the world's No. 1 air combat record, saw that his opponent was falling headlong, and excitedly simply spilled the bullet, and this waste of ammunition also caused only a little chaos on the ground.

After returning to the camp to report the results, Yang Qiu also personally went to the airport to praise the young men of the flight team, and the pilot Yu Lei, who shot down the enemy plane and successfully bombed, and Cui Fubin, nicknamed Cui Brain Shell, were also awarded the Medal of Bravery. In the end, under this intentional or unintentional connivance, the "Sparrows" group was dispatched on all fronts in the following days, dropping a total of more than 500 80-mm mortar shells and Molotov cocktails on various targets of the Japanese army.

As more and more small bombs fell every day, and the sound of ground artillery that had been silent for almost half a month gradually intensified, in order to test the defensive line, the Japanese army dispatched two brigades for the first time under the cover of a cruiser to launch an attack on Dagushan, but in the face of the heavy artillery on the fortress of Dagushan that was urgently repaired, the battle ended after only one hour.

On 26 June, a Japanese wing supported by 24 Meiji Type 38 75mm field guns launched an attack on Xiuyan Baiyanggou, which was thwarted by the 1022nd Brigade of the 102nd Division of the Wehrmacht, also supported by a 105th howitzer battalion. On the same day, the Japanese army also attacked Gaizhou, this time with the help of naval guns, the Japanese army successfully broke through the Daqing River, but when they were about to arrive at Gaizhou City, they were bombarded by a 150 heavy artillery battalion of the 1st Division that had just arrived, and had to temporarily retreat.

The simultaneous attack at three points in two days was obviously an act of testing the weak point of the defensive line, which also made the Haicheng Command, which had been relaxed for a few days, nervous, and with the arrival of a group of troops, the troops gathered in the east from Dagushan West to Gaizhou had reached four divisions, not counting the two divisions deployed along the Yalu River in Fengcheng and Jiuliancheng.

Seeing that more and more Wehrmacht troops were pouring into Mukden, General Terauchi Masatsuki could not sit still and convened a meeting of the officers again. However, when the officers entered the conference room, they found that the table was filled with shochu from Kagoshima. Japan is a country that is extremely short of food, and although the main ingredients of this kind of shochu are miscellaneous grains such as potatoes and buckwheat, there is not much alcohol for sale in Japan after several years of food shortages, but the fact that there is so much alcohol at this moment only shows that a large-scale offensive is about to begin.

The officers were extremely excited, and General Terauchi Masatsuki stood in the center with an even more excited expression, pointing to the Nanman map behind him and clenching his fists: "Everyone, tomorrow the remaining two wings of the Fifth Division will arrive in Lushun!" They were accompanied by sixty cannons of all kinds! The Guards Division, the 3rd Division, and the 18th Division are ready to come to Arthur, and the Second Fleet will also provide us with artillery support this time. As you all know, the 50 million people of the empire tighten their belts not to see a crushing defeat, but to see a victory!

They made a mistake and I'm sure it would have been worse if they had done it all the way, but now they don't have a chance! This time, I ask everyone to give all their strength, I ask all divisions and regiments to give their all, not to be frightened by the appearance of the strong and middle-class cadres of the Chinese army, the bombs dropped by their planes have killed less than fifty people, their lines are also porous, the Lucia were more powerful than they are now, ten years ago, but they still collapsed under the continuous charge. I believe that the result will not change this time, and that the victory must belong to our Imperial Japan. ”

After Terauchi Masayi finished speaking, he waved his hand and asked the orderlies to pour wine for everyone: "Since the food disaster, I believe that many of you have not smelled such a fragrant smell for a long time. Come on! Let's toast together and make a grand march with the most beautiful wine, and this time we will bring back the whole of Manchuria! ”

The glass was raised high.
