"Report to the headquarters, at present, the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet is about 460 kilometers away from the port of Vladivostok, and the Japanese army has begun to clear the deck, and it is estimated that preparations are being made before launching an attack." At an altitude of more than 10 kilometers behind the Japanese fleet, two Flying Eagle 5 lightning high-altitude reconnaissance planes were watching this huge fleet from an altitude of 10,000 meters, and they were reporting their situation to the naval base at all times.

Today is already the second day of the discovery of the Japanese fleet, and the Japanese fleet, which is rapidly moving in the direction of Vladivostok, has reached a place less than 500 kilometers from Vladivostok. Yoshimyu Tanaka had also ordered the fighters on the two aircraft carriers, the Akagi and Kaga, to issue an order to prepare to set off for the bombing of Vladivostok. At the same time, the pilots who had already begun to put on first-class alert at various airfields in Vladivostok also received orders from the naval headquarters Chen Shaokuan, "All the naval divisions set off, and the target is the Japanese mixed fleet!" ”

Shrill sirens whistled over the airfields of various airports, countless pilots rushed to their beloved fighters, countless fighters also slid to the runway, they will fly to the sky with the expectations and trust of countless people...... "Let's drink this bowl of wine today and go out with endless joy!" Expedition to the land of the rising sun, ah, we to the land of the rising sun! My dear girl, when you receive the letter I left and this medal, I have blessed you in heaven, bless you, my most beautiful girl, and when night falls, when you look at the sky, do not forget that the most beautiful star is my eyes on you......."

The young men of the naval aviation division collectively sang loudly this song 'going out' that was circulated in the naval aviation division, and the throttle valve was increased under their feet. Suddenly, one after another warhawks rose into the sky with three red signal flares, and at this moment, they had only one belief in their hearts, that is, to destroy Japan's aircraft carrier fleet at all costs.

By the time the huge fleet .......of planes had been assembled in the sky, the fleet had gathered a total of 560 fighters, including 360 Flying Eagle 4 'Wildcat fighters and 200 Flying Eagle 5 'Avenger' torpedo attack planes.

Gao Zhihang, commander of the 1st Division of the HNA Army, the commander-in-chief of the air group, piloted a Flying Eagle 4 Wildcat fighter and commanded this huge group of planes in the sky to gallop towards the southeast. Chen Shaokuan's order was very clear: even if the two naval divisions were exhausted, the Japanese fleet must not be allowed to approach the port of Vladivostok.

The number of aircraft carrier-based aircraft was limited, with the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi having 72 aircraft and the Kaga aircraft carrier 81, making a total of 153 sorties.

On the surface, the number of Japanese planes is less than one-third of that of the two naval divisions, but please don't forget that the Japanese aircraft carrier formation is a fire hedgehog, and the anti-aircraft fire of the battleships, destroyers, cruisers, and frigates around it is not an ornament.

When the young men of the naval division were still more than 100 kilometers away from the Japanese fleet, they were already discovered by the Japanese 88 Kawasaki reconnaissance plane hovering in the air, and although this reconnaissance plane was immediately chased by two Flying Eagle 4 Wildcat fighters and exploded in the air, in this short period of two minutes, it was enough for the reconnaissance plane to report everything it saw to the commander of the Japanese task force through the radio.

At the operational headquarters of the Akagi, the flagship of the task force, an operational staff officer came to report: "Report to Your Excellency Commander, reconnaissance planes have come to report that the group of more than 500 attack planes in China is less than 100 kilometers away from us!" Tanaka Jialong still had a melancholy face, and said in a deep voice: "I know, order all the Type 96 Mitsubishi fighters to take off, but remember not to leave the sky above the fleet, and order them to attack the Shina aircraft group under the cover of the fleet's firepower!" "Hello!"

The 100-kilometer journey was only a matter of moments for a Wildcat fighter with a cruising speed of 249 kilometers per hour, and twenty minutes later, the huge fleet of aircraft was already approaching the sky above the Japanese task force. At this time, the Japanese task force had formed an air defense formation under the order of Tanaka Yoshitaka, with two aircraft carriers in the middle, two battleships and four heavy cruisers around, and a defensive circle composed of more than 30 destroyers and frigates on the outermost periphery.

Seeing the arrival of the naval division, the first to pounce was the carrier-based planes of the Japanese fleet, and 112 Type 96 Mitsubishi fighters immediately swooped down on the group. Major General Gao Zhihang ordered loudly: "The 5th and 6th Regiments of the 2nd Navy Division will immediately meet the battle, and they will entangled the Japanese carrier-based aircraft to cover the attack of the torpedo planes," "Yes!" Suddenly, a voice sounded in Gao Zhihang's headset: "Report, report 6028, the Japanese fleet has collectively fired at our aircraft group, the enemy fleet is fierce, and our aircraft group cannot get close!" ”

"Understand, all planes are six thousand in height and rise to the level of clouds." As the order was given, the group also followed him to climb high, fuel the throttle, and occupy a position to prepare for a dive attack. "Report 6023, the enemy destroyer 'Takamaru' is within the control of our firepower." "Six zero twenty-three knows!" After Li Guidan finished answering, he turned on another channel, "The 16th Torpedo Squadron will immediately attack the outer anti-aircraft fire centered on the enemy's 'Takamaru' and open up an attack channel for our main attack group." ”

After receiving the order from the air commander, Major Shi Jianying, the leader of the 16th Attack Torpedo Squadron, hurriedly said: "The 16th Torpedo Squadron followed me at an altitude of 1,000 meters. "Twenty-four Flying Eagle 5 'Avenger' torpedo attack planes of the 16th Torpedo Squadron, which had lost their auxiliary fuel tanks, swooped down on the Japanese destroyer 'Takamaru' under the command of Squadron Leader Major Shi Jianying.

"Major Shi, enemy planes appear, enemy planes appear! Left front, left front! "The reconnaissance aircraft hastened to report. Shi Jianying saw that twelve Japanese Type 96 fighters had emerged from the clouds in front of the left, and each group of two opened up the attack formation. "Ask for fighter cover, enemy planes are attacking me." Shi Jianying shouted loudly. "Chief Shi, the enemy plane has entangled me!" Three torpedo planes flying in the tail reported loudly.

Shi Jianying saw that sure enough, the four Japanese planes bit the three torpedo planes flying in the rear, and he roared: "The fighters hurry up to reinforce, we are entangled and unable to attack!" At this time, sixteen Flying Eagle 4 Wildcat fighters rushed over after receiving the battle order, and fought each other with twelve Japanese fighters. Even so, one of the 'Eagle 5 Avengers' was hit, and a puff of black smoke came out and carried it down.

"Get rid of the enemy planes, launch an attack on the enemy's surface ships, and the third squad will attack immediately!" At this time, Shi Jianying found that the firepower of the Japanese fleet was very fierce and dense, and almost all the air raid lanes were fired. Shi Jianying pulled down the nose of the plane and said loudly: "The third squad, immediately organize an ultra-low-altitude attack!" The height is three hundred meters! ”

"Team 3 understands!" The leader of the third squad who received the order quietly flew to the west side of the "Takamaru" with six "Avengers" close to the sea, which was the dead end of the artillery fire. "Sail to the right, sail to the right." Shi Jianying corrected the course of the third squad on the radio! When the six Flying Eagle 5 'Avengers' flew to a distance of 600 meters from the 'Takamaru', the deputy captain of the destroyer, Kumamoto Dairo Nakasa, who was observing from the destroyer, suddenly spotted six torpedo planes rushing from 300 meters above the ocean and shouted in amazement: "Hurry up and fire to the west.....

Late, six large-caliber torpedoes had already broken away from the belly of the 'Avenger' and rushed towards the destroyer 'Takamaru' at a speed of forty-six knots. "Evade, evade!" Vice Captain Kumamoto hurriedly rushed into the wheelhouse, sounded the collision alarm, and shouted: "Left full rudder, left full rudder immediately!" "Woo woo woo ....."

The poignant collision alarm sounded immediately on the ship, and the Japanese Navy was worthy of being a well-trained elite, and in less than thirty seconds, the sailors were ready for a collision. Six fan-fired torpedoes rushed towards the Takamaru, and although the Takamaru dodged three torpedoes, three torpedoes hit it, and in the explosion of three torpedoes weighing 907 kilograms each, the 2,000-ton destroyer immediately broke in two and sank into Peter the Great Bay, 8,000 meters deep, in less than five minutes.

On the Japanese aircraft carrier Akagi, the combat staff officer came to report, "Your Excellency Commander, the 'Takamaru' has sunk!" "Got it!" After hearing this, Tanaka Yoshitaka was silent for a moment before replying: "Order all ships to increase their anti-aircraft firepower, and we must not allow the Chinese fighters to easily break through our army's firepower network!" "Hello!"

Looking at the dense group of enemy bombers in the sky and the fighters fighting fiercely in the air, Tanaka Yoshiryu had a feeling of worry in his heart for the first time. "There are more than 500 fighters, I heard that this is all their fighters in Vladivostok, are the people of China going to make a desperate bet?" Looking at the clear sky outside the window and the fierce fighting in the air, as well as the constant firelight and the fighters that exploded in the air from time to time, Tanaka Yoshiryu muttered: "Yo Xi, it seems that the Chinese fighters are going to be re-evaluated, and the Chinese people have begun to have the courage to fight to the death like the imperial warriors, it seems that I want to retract my previous evaluation of the Chinese people."

The fierce battle in the air continued, dozens of Japanese surface ships were still desperately pouring tongues of fire into the air, and all the dense air in the sky was black smoke and shrapnel from the explosion of anti-aircraft guns. Countless warplanes shuttled through these beautiful death fireworks, constantly looking for opportunities to deliver a fatal blow to the ships below.

Among the so many Japanese ships, the Japanese battleship Nagato had the most fierce anti-aircraft fire.55 Its four 12.7-centimeter twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns and 10 25-millimeter triple-mounted antiaircraft guns blocked the surrounding attack lanes, leaving not the slightest gap. Within twenty minutes of the start of the offensive, six Flying Eagle 5 torpedo bombers had already been hit by it and exploded in the air. In particular, its four 127-mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns are even more powerful, and as long as the plane touches it, it will be smashed to pieces on the spot, and there is no second possibility.

The rampant Nagato caused Gao Zhihang's anger, and he tuned to a channel and ordered: "Seventh Torpedo Squadron, you guys immediately dispatch to attack the Japanese Nagato!" Flying six regiments cooperate with the attack! "Understood!" Major Li Tianjian, commander of the 5th Torpedo Squadron of the 7th Flying Eagle, replied loudly. "Flying Eagle 5 torpedo machine attention, cloud height six six zero, enemy ship line twenty, attack!" Li Tianjian ordered loudly.

The torpedo planes broke away from the formation and set off, and after a large maneuver, they found that several Japanese warships were now in flames on the sea, and the smoke and flames on the ocean were nearly 600 meters into the sky. Li Tianjian was worried that his group would be killed by the gunfire of the Japanese ships, so he hurriedly asked: "The torpedo plane reports the battle situation, and the torpedo plane reports the battle situation!" "Report to Chief Li, the artillery fire of the enemy ship 'Nagato' is very rampant, and our torpedo planes cannot attack, and again, they cannot attack."

Li Tianjian said without thinking, "Altitude 1350, height 1350, pay attention to the attack, the 'Wildcat' fighter is covering with all his might!" "'Wildcat' understands! More than 20 Flying Eagle 4 'Wildcat' fighters emerged from the clouds and swooped down on the 'Nagato' despite the heavy artillery fire around it. "On the deck of the Japanese 'Nagato,' Yoshino Daisa, the operational staff officer of the 'Nagato', was in the artillery command center, looking at the sky with his eyes wide open, staring at the Chinese fighters in the sky. Ignoring the shells fired by the Huaxia fighters and the bombshells dropped by the 'Avengers', he ordered the artillerymen to bite the Huaxia fighters in front of him who were making all kinds of feints and trying to sneak attack.

"Attention, attention, the enemy bomber group is approaching my left foredeck under the cover of clouds!" Yoshino told the gunners. "Your Excellency, please pay attention to the point of my shell!" Gunner Yoshino Umegawa said loudly. "Umegawa Ryoya Juncao, you have to play the role of a sharpshooter!" Yoshino Osa hurriedly replied, "Shina heavy bombers are approaching the ship, fight!" ”

"Umegawa Ryoshi also understands!" Umegawa Ryoya replied in his mouth, the manipulator cannon in his hand, when he put the figure of the Chinese fighter in the sky into the halo, he pressed the artillery fire button fiercely, and a fireball came out of the 127-millimeter gun muzzle and rushed towards the enemy fighter. Yoshino noticed that the Huaxia plane that Umegawa Ryoya had shot turned 90 degrees to the right at the moment when the shell was about to hit its head, and flew into the clouds and mist, avoiding the blow of broken bones.

"Umegawa Ryoya Guncao." Yoshino Daisa ran out of the headquarters and rushed to the gun emplacement of Umegawa Guncao and roared loudly, "Aiming, aiming, you know? Umegawa Ryoya Jun Cao turned his head unhurriedly, stared at Yoshino Osa and gritted his teeth, "Your Excellency Osa don't worry, who in the artillery can guarantee that all the shells can't hit an enemy plane?" If so, then I wouldn't be just a little military coo! ”

"China plane!" There is a whew. A Huaxia 'Avenger' torpedo plane swooped down to starboard in a roundabout way, and a shell was being fired in the chamber of the gun, and Umegawa Juncao, the Japanese sharpshooter, stared at the Huaxia fighter stubbornly, and when the plane entered the halo, he made another skillful twisting action of pressing the cannon, and with a "boom" sound, the Huaxia fighter exploded in volley.

"Yo Si! The Chinese fighter exploded in volley, it exploded in volley! Yoshino whispered excitedly. Another one, another one! "Another 'Avenger' is constantly avoiding the attacking shells, cleverly approaching the middle of the 'Nagato'." Umegawa, Umegawa, enemy planes, enemy planes! Yoshino Osa reminded loudly, "The first five hundred meters on the left, the first five hundred meters on the left!" ”

"Understood, Your Excellency!" Umegawa Juncao quickly traced the enemy plane with the gunner, and said calmly. "Da Da ......" swept dense machine-gun fire from the wings of the heavenly 'Avenger' fighters, which are small arms equipped by the 'Avengers' to kill and injure enemy gunners. Ah......h

Yoshino Osa followed the sound and saw that the gunner Umegawa Ryoya fell on the gun position, and the two soldiers hurriedly ran over and hugged him with both hands. A 127-mm cannon paused, the firepower on the side of the ship weakened, Yoshino Osa looked up, and at the moment when the artillery fire stopped, the Huaxia fighter took the opportunity to dive over, and then jumped violently, and two black bombs fell on the 'Nagato' battleship in the tail....

"Enemy bombs, enemy bombs......." exclaimed the Japanese soldiers on the deck. Hit, fight, drive the Chinese fighter into the sky, the fairway! Yoshino Osa shouted. Rumble! "A bomb that fell first exploded in the sea on the port side of the battleship, and the huge column of water rose higher than the conning tower, and Yoshino Osa swept his eyes and understood in his heart that this was a super-heavy giant bomb." Boom ....." was followed by a loud explosion, and under the spread of a black smoke, flames erupted in all directions.

"Report to Your Excellency Osa, the first bombshell penetrated the deck of the battleship, the officer's lounge, exploded in the galley, and the fire is spreading to the deck!" "Extinguish the fire, extinguish the fire!" "Dazuo, Dazuo, enemy aircraft!" There was a roar.

Yoshino Osa raised his eyes and watched, a Huaxia torpedo plane swooped down from a high altitude, and was about to rush to the deck of the battleship, he shouted: "Shelling, shelling, knock him down!" "Almost all the naval guns that can be adjusted turn their muzzles towards the Huaxia torpedo machine that is flying over, and countless shells are spraying at it, as long as one shell hits it, this crisis can be resolved, but unfortunately Amaterasu did not bless them today.

The fighter plane that rushed straight at was none other than Major Li Tianjian, commander of the No. 7 Torpedo Squadron, who was carrying two 500-kilogram bombs of various kinds today, and he knew that he would not be spared under the fierce attack of various Japanese artillery fire. Li Tianjian glanced at the photo on the dashboard, on which a girl was smiling at him. He swooped down vertically from the air and headed for the Nagato.

"Boom....." There was another deafening roar on the 'Nagato'. According to the report, a suicide plane hit the middle chord of our ship, and the two heavy bombs carried by the plane exploded at the same time, destroying the six fire hoses on the ship! A second lieutenant rushed out of the smoke to report. As soon as Yoshino Daisa saw the repertoire, a thick smoke rose into the sky on the ship, and groups of soldiers flew out of the flames, and a soldier with heavy casualties was dragged out in the exclamation.......

"Rescue the damage pipe, rescue the damage pipe!" There were commanders who shouted orders in the midst of fireworks. Yoshino Osa immediately added: "The gunners are in place, air attack, air attack, Shina fighters are looking for an opportunity to attack again!" ”

The crew members of the 'Nagato' were desperately fighting with the flames, and the gunners were firing frantically into the air, however, another group of Chinese attack planes was rushing towards the 'Nagato', and a sea and air battle became more and more fierce.... Disaster struck Nagato, as well as the Japanese fleet. This time, it was the remaining sixteen Flying Eagle 5 'Avenger' torpedo attack planes of the 7th Torpedo Attack Squadron that pounced on the 'Nagato', and the heroic sacrifice of the squadron leader, Major Li Tianjian, made the remaining young men red-eyed.

The remaining planes frantically pounced on 'Nagato' under the command of a squad leader, "Attack at low altitude, attack at low altitude!" "Under the order of the squad leader, all the torpedo planes followed the squad leader to reduce the altitude to twenty meters, almost clinging to the sea and rushing towards the 'Nagato'.

Yoshino Osa was almost frightened when he saw the torpedo machine flying close to the sea with the rear chord, and hurriedly shouted, "Muzzle turn, muzzle turn, right rear chord, open fire!" "Brush brush brush ......" There were constantly torpedoes falling into the water, and 16 torpedoes were like arrows from the string towards the 'Nagato'.

Looking at the torpedo with white wave trails coming to his starboard side not far away, Yoshino Daisa was almost frightened, he subconsciously rushed to the wheelhouse, grabbed the helmsman's rudder without saying a word, and desperately hit the rudder to the right. The massive hull slowly turned to the right, and finally avoided eight torpedoes, but eight torpedoes hit it at the same time.

I saw its huge hull turn over violently in the ocean, followed by a deafening roar, and a pillar of fire smoke cloud soared into the sky, nearly a thousand meters high..... "Hit, hit!" "There were bursts of cheers in the ears of the remaining pilots of the 7th Torpedo Squadron. At the site of the explosion, a huge mushroom cloud rose into the air, and more than 2,500 Japanese officers and men on board the ship were buried at the bottom of the sea.

The Japanese battleship "Nagato" was sunk ...."Report, the enemy battleship "Nagato" has been sunk by me! Gao Zhihang roared excitedly, "Okay, good job, brothers continue to attack, we must not let the little devil breathe......" Under Gao Zhihang's order, another group of 'Avengers' rushed towards the Japanese task force......
