For a while, Lao Jiang couldn't immediately determine the candidate, but this matter couldn't be delayed, Zuihou he could only make a list of three times the number and directly hand it over to Hu Weidong to choose, after all, the warship was captured by his troops, and according to the consultation between the two parties, the Third Fleet was also assigned to the command of the First Theater after it was rebuilt, but in order to prevent the Red Party from taking advantage of this to win over the future captains, Lao Jiang did not allow Hu Weidong to mess around, he asked the captain of the battleship to have at least the rank of rear admiral of the Republic of China Navy. The captain of a heavy cruiser must have at least the rank of lieutenant commander, the captain of a destroyer must have at least the rank of captain, and as for those auxiliary ships that everyone doesn't want to go to, Lao Chiang doesn't bother to pay attention to them

Sa Zhenbing, a veteran of the Republic of China Navy and one of the survivors of the Beiyang Naval Division, strongly advocated naming the battleship "Dingyuan" and the heavy cruiser "Zhiyuan" to commemorate the officers and men of the Beiyang Naval Division who sacrificed their lives for the country in the First Sino-Japanese War, which was unanimously supported by the navy. In fact, after the news that the 15th Army had recovered Qingdao and captured a large number of devil warships, the happiest person was this old man, who was so excited that he burst into tears, looking up to the sky and shouting, "Shame on Zhenyuan being captured, it will snow today!" The reason why he proposed to name the battleship "Dingyuan" instead of "Zhenyuan" was that in addition to the fact that Dingyuan was the flagship back then, Zhenyuan Zuihou was captured by devils and incorporated into the Japanese Combined Fleet, which was also an important reason.

The two giant ships attracted much attention, and the naming of the eight destroyers and those auxiliary ships was not much of a concern, and it was basically done in accordance with the practice of the Republic of China Navy. But most of these ships still use the names of the same type of ships of the Chinese Navy that have sunk since the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, to commemorate the heroic sacrifice of naval officers and soldiers

When Hu Weidong sent a telegram to the central government, he was already ready for the devils to attack Qingdao in a few days, or even within a day, but Hu Weidong never liked to wait for the enemy to attack first, even though he knew that the devils had sea and air superiority, he still chose to strike first!

Since the Russo-Japanese War, Japan has occupied the Port of Arthur for more than 30 years. As a result, this excellent ice-free port has become the most important naval base for Japan along the coast of Puppet Manchuria. After the Japanese army headquarters learned that the 15th Army was advancing eastward, considering that the Japanese army in Shandong was not enough to compete with it, those old devils not only made full use of the airfields in Dalian and Lushun as much as possible. In addition, a large fleet, including all four Japanese aircraft carriers, was stationed at Arthur Pass (Note 1) to support the Japanese forces in Shandong.

The Japanese base camp made such a decision mainly because the new tactics of the First Flight Division of the North China Air Corps could not be cracked. However, as long as the fleet of aircraft in a sortie is large enough, the enemy's special air combat tactics greatly reduce the lethality (the average number of enemy planes shot down by each sortie is less than one-seventh of that of conventional tactics, and if you deduct the results of Zhong Ming's freak, it is only one-tenth). As long as you don't care about the loss of aircraft, the devil's large-scale fleet can forcibly drive over those important targets to bomb, and at the same time, if the Soviet air force takes off to intercept, the devil can also fight happily, unlike in the face of the obscene tactics of the first flight division. However, the Soviet aid air force is full of masters, and the performance of the aircraft is getting better and better under the improvement again and again. The Devil planes are not several times (if the Japanese Navy is engaged with the Soviet Air Force, the number of fighters must be at least twice as large to win, and the Army Air will still lose even if it has a threefold numerical advantage.) The numerical superiority has no chance of winning at all, and it has to be guarded against the fact that the first pilot, who mainly plays obscene streams, suddenly joins the battle directly with blood...,

However, although the devils have hoarded a total of thousands of land-based or carrier-based aircraft in the Luda area (the airfield in Dalian is larger than Lushun). But before they could launch a large-scale air raid, the unstoppable Chinese 15th Army had almost swept away the Japanese army in Shandong. Considering that even six or seven hundred fighters may not be able to completely suppress the North China Air Corps (the Soviet Air Force fighting on the inside line can be supported by anti-aircraft fire), and no matter how large the scale of the air attack without the cooperation of the army, the effect is not much better (according to actual combat statistics, in the case of shelter by buildings or fortifications, the average number of aircraft in a simple air raid can only kill less than one enemy per sortie). Even in the field, for a large corps of hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, it is still a disease of ringworm), and the Japanese base camp finally had to temporarily suspend the air raid Jihua, and instead ordered the Kwantung Army to urgently build more than a dozen field airfields near Luda to further expand the numerical superiority of the Japanese air force in North China.

In order to eliminate the truth of the Qingdao incident and expose the huge threat posed to Qingdao by the Japanese air forces in the two places, Hu Weidong decided to take advantage of the good opportunity of the concentration of thousands of Japanese planes in the Luda area to preemptively strike a devastating blow to it. For this reason, Hu Weidong, who was desperate, sent almost all the combat planes of the North China Air Corps out, and almost obscured the huge fleet of planes in the sky and rushed straight to Lushunkou!

However, because the Devil's Airfield had already suffered several heavy losses, the vigilance work had made much progress compared with before, and even though Hu Weidong had let 108 fighters captured from the Japanese Navy fly in front, the Japanese army in Lushun still saw the problem, so the sneak attack naturally turned into a strong attack. However, the devil could not have imagined that the Chinese would send all their planes in one breath, and although the Japanese fighters on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier at Lushun Airport and in the harbor all took off urgently to intercept them, in the face of more than 300 enemy fighters, these sporadic resistance was tantamount to a mantis arm

After the capture of 108 Japanese monoplane fighters with relatively balanced performance in Qingdao, those traditional pilots who flew Jishu in the first flight division of the North China Air Corps also had a place to play, among which Le Yiqin and Liu Zhesheng, who were known as "double walls", were the most active, and Le Yiqin, who flew the Japanese Nakajima 97 fighter to charge ahead, took the lead in achieving results, and shot down a Japanese fighter of the same type that had just been pulled up and had not yet increased its speed

Note 1: At first, the devils wanted to send them to Qingdao to provide support, but the Japanese army base camp was jealous of the strength of the North China Air Corps, and suffered the loss of air raids, and finally let it be stationed in Lushunkou, which had been operated by Japan for many years, and there was a military airfield that had been built in Haode for a long time, and in the event of an attack, it could also obtain a total of no less than 1,500 land-based aircraft from neighboring Dalian and a little farther away from Shenyang, Jinzhou, Changchun, and other places in a short period of time.
