Compared with the two heavy aircraft carriers, the two medium-sized aircraft carriers, the Soryu and the Flying Dragon (which were built and commissioned a year earlier than in history), could not withstand the frenzied attacks of bombs and torpedoes, and could not escape the fate of sinking one after another

Hu Weidong said before the war that the main targets of this campaign were the airfields in Lushun and Dalian and the devil aircraft carriers in the Lushun Military Port, and as for the other warships in the port, because they could not pose a direct threat to Qingdao for the time being, they were only used as secondary targets. Therefore, after destroying the Lushun airfield and sinking the four devil aircraft carriers, Gao Zhihang immediately ordered the planes that had not lost their torpedoes to find a nearby target to use (because many warships have been launched at this time, unless multiple torpedoes are fired at the target from all directions at the same time and the angle is completely sealed, it is easy to avoid even large ships, plus the bomber pilots of the First Flight Division have never had experience in using torpedo attacks before, it is okay to hit a dead target that cannot be hit, once the target moves at high speed, The hit rate is miserable, not to mention the size, most of the other warships cannot be compared with 4 aircraft carriers. Therefore, after a dozen torpedoes were dropped, no results were achieved), and then he immediately flew with him to Dalian to meet the Soviet aid air force that had separated from the 1st Division and went to bomb the Dalian airfield as soon as it reached the skies over Lushunkou.

When the Soviet aid air force rushed to Dalian Airport, it happened that the airport was in a hurry to send planes to the rescue after knowing that Lushunkou had been attacked, and drove most of the planes in the hangar to the runway and apron. The distance between Dalian and Lushun is not far, and it does not take much time for airplanes, so as a result, only a few planes flew up at Dalian Airport, and more than 100 planes of the Soviet Air Force rushed here. Pokryshkin was overjoyed when he saw the hunter, "There are so many targets, comrades, don't be polite to the enemy!" ”

The dozen or so Japanese fighters that took off first and were pulling up hurriedly rushed over to intercept them, but they were no match for the Soviet aid air force at all, and the four bomber squadrons of the Soviet aid air force seized the time to drop special cluster aerial bombs on a large number of Japanese planes parked on the airport (Dalian airport was larger than Lushun, so it received special "preferential treatment"), and after the continuous explosions, there were no more finished haode planes on the airfield. Even the airstrip was blown to pieces, and even the Soviet pilots flying the bombers were shocked by the terrifying power of the cluster bombs

But. No matter how powerful the cluster bomb is, it is not a nuclear weapon, and the fact that almost no enemy planes survived after a round of bombing is enough to show the excellent quality of the bomber pilots of the Soviet aid air force. In his first battle, Litwak blew up three enemy planes and shot down a barely pulled Japanese fighter with four aviation machine guns on the bomber, thus brilliantly completing the mission and forcefully refuting the fallacy that many people in the air force said that "women should be at home with children."

Gao Zhihang led the first division and just flew in the direction of Dalian. received a signal from Pokryshkin, so he immediately ordered his subordinates to turn around and fly back to Qingdao, and asked Pokryshkin and them to retreat together. Now that the task assigned by the superiors has been completed, there is no need for the North China Air Corps to continue to stay. It must be known that after these two battles, the North China Air Corps has consumed a lot of fuel and ammunition. Once the Japanese planes in Shenyang and other places arrived and entangled, it would be a big trouble

Gao Zhihang's decision was very wise. Less than three minutes after the Soviet air force withdrew from the Dalian airport, no less than 200 Japanese planes from Shenyang arrived here, but they only saw the Dalian airport, which was already unrecognizable

After listening to the report of the North China Air Corps, Hu Weidong was naturally very satisfied, and secretly thought, "With the loss of less than 20 aircraft, we have blown up 6 or 700 enemy planes (including the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier), and also blown up and sunk 4 Japanese aircraft carriers. ”

However, the three words "Pearl Harbor" suddenly reminded Hu Weidong of something, he immediately asked the pilots how the four aircraft carriers sank, and after learning that they were all heavily damaged by torpedoes and sunk too much water, he couldn't help frowning slightly, "In history, almost all of the US ** ships that were sunk by the devils in the Pearl Harbor incident were later salvaged and repaired, and if the hulls of these four devil aircraft carriers were not completely dispersed, there is a good chance that they would be salvaged and repaired by the devils, okay?" ”

After Hu Weidong expressed this concern, Gao Zhihang immediately regretted why he didn't let the torpedo planes replenish the aircraft carriers with a few more torpedoes, blowing them apart and never repairing them. At this time, Hu Weidong comforted in turn, "You don't have to worry too much, even if the devils can repair the aircraft carrier, with their national strength, it will definitely not be completed in one or two months, the main purpose of this air raid is to buy time for us to train the navy, so even if the aircraft carrier really repairs the devils, our goal has still been achieved." ”

"Besides, even if the aircraft carriers are all fished up and repaired, so many planes will still be killed, and it is impossible for the dead devils to come back to life!" , Hu Weidong smiled and comforted, but there was another reason in his heart that he couldn't say, "In fact, if the devil can really repair those aircraft carriers, it may not be a bad thing, at least the possibility of Pearl Harbor still exists."

In this battle, the North China Air Corps blew up a total of 617 Japanese planes (another 82 were wounded) and sank 4 aircraft carriers (all of them were salvaged by the devils after the war and repaired within a few months), killing and wounding more than 3,000 Japanese soldiers, while the North China Air Corps only lost 17 planes and killed 12 people (Note 1). This "Air Raid Brigade Brigade" also replaced the historical "Surprise Attack on Taranto" battle, becoming the first successful example in the history of this time and space to raid the enemy's naval base and harbor fleet with a large-scale aircraft group, and objectively, it also gave the devil more and more valuable hints about the "sneak attack on Pearl Harbor" in the future than the "surprise attack on Taranto".

Note 1: Due to Hu Weidong's repeated admonitions and the fact that the mission had been completed, the pilots who were still conscious when the plane was shot down chose to parachute, and were later replaced by Hu Weidong with captured Japanese pilots, and were able to continue to be active on the battlefield of resistance against Japan. It is worth mentioning that in history, the soldiers captured during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea were treated unfairly after returning home, largely because of the influence of the Soviet Union in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China (in history, even during the War of Liberation, the PLA soldiers who were captured by ** would not have anything to do after they escaped and returned to the team, and there were even a few unlucky guys who were repeatedly captured on both sides), and this time-space red party did not make the same mistake because it was stronger and communicated more with Shijie countries (to be continued).
