    Looking at the huge plume of smoke and the "sparrows" raging all over the sky, Akira Ono's eyes almost popped out of his head.

    As a naval pilot, he was very proud when he returned from studying in France, because with the aircraft, the navy could see further, so he cherished the French Newburgh under him very much, and would not allow others to touch it.  But he didn't expect that when he was carefully maintaining the aircraft in Sasebo, he heard that China was also equipped with aircraft and appeared in the war to recapture southern Manchuria. Therefore, the War Department hoped that the Navy would provide aerial reconnaissance support.

    Those useless armies!  This is the thought of all navy people. The country allocates tens of millions every year but has raised a nest of worms that cannot even be defeated by China. Fortunately, they still have the nerve to say that the navy is corrupt. At least the navy can still maintain world standards, even in terms of equipment.  Planes are only one year behind Europe.  But complaints are complaints. The land-sea dispute is an internal matter. Faced with the crisis in Kanto State, the navy still dispatched all its forces except the First Fleet.  As for the First Fleet, it is not something that can be dispatched if it wants to be dispatched. A dispatch of all those big guys will cost at least millions of national currency, and will also consume a small amount of Welsh white coal reserves. Of course, the most important thing is that China has nothing worthy of their dispatch.  Target.

    So he and five other aircraft were sent to Lushun to support the army, but they did not expect to see such a horrific scene on their first mission.  Amaterasu comes again!  Are these all Chinese planes?

    Even though he had heard about pilots dropping bombs during the Italian-Turkish War while he was studying in France, and he had practiced throwing small bombs with his French comrades, but in the face of the blooming fire spots on the ground at this moment, the clouds of explosion smoke were still  He and everyone were stunned. He and everyone did not expect that the Chinese ** team actually had so many planes!  And he also learned how to throw bombs down.

    Asia¡¯s first army equipped with aircraft was actually ravaged by aircraft by the people who had stepped on it in the past His surprise suddenly turned into anger. He pulled out his pistol and rushed towards the nearest aircraft.

    Cui Daomei had just started to cheer for his victory when he heard the pilot shouting, and then the wings of the plane deflected rapidly and a Japanese aircraft almost passed by.  "Turn back, I'll kill him later." Cui Daomei was startled by the sudden appearance of the plane, but when he saw the Japanese pilot holding only a pistol, his courage suddenly grew like an inflated balloon, and he yelled and opened the cockpit.  The light machine gun safety was ready for the attack.

    Whether it is the National Defense Force or Japan, everyone has never experienced air combat. It is the first time to fly an aircraft in combat. The aircraft on both sides are not born for air combat.  French Newburgh is known as the best aircraft in Europe at present, and its opponent "Sparrow" is the Curtiss JN-2 trainer aircraft that was supposed to be born two years later. The power and flexibility of both sides are similar, and they immediately formed a mutual rivalry in the air.  Chase situation.

    Although the group of "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 allow the enemies to escape, so they simply dispersed and let Cui Guangmai and the others deal with them. Of course, they were also prepared in advance, and all  After throwing away the cocktails and mortar shells, they picked up the machine guns, and there was a tendency to start a group fight over a disagreement.

    "Left! Left!" Cui Guangmao operated the machine gun. Newburgh in the crosshairs flicked left and right, which made him particularly angry. Several times he could aim at it but ran away again. With his already hot temper, he was so angry that he almost couldn't direct it.  Yelling bumped into.  The sight of the two planes circling back and forth also alarmed the Japanese troops on the ground. Many infantrymen shouted to cheer for the surrounded Newburgh, but they also did not dare to shoot randomly for fear of hurting their own pilots.

    Ono Shoji, who studied flying for a year in France, obviously has a more technical advantage than the young men in the flight team who became a monk. He patiently circled left and right and performed horizontal maneuvers. When he reached a certain height after several consecutive laps, he suddenly jumped upwards and flew towards Cui Da.  They made a contemptuous gesture at the head.

    If Shoji Ono had already won this tactic ten years later, he would have been able to easily shoot down the Sparrow due to his high altitude 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 Sparrow pilot is  The pilot simply gritted his teeth, and then suddenly made an extremely bold move!  I saw that the sparrow first dived to make an attack, and then suddenly started to jump after rushing for a certain distance. As the speed became faster and faster, the angle also became larger and larger, until finally the entire aircraft appeared to be flying upside down!  inverted flight?  Head down!  While the Japanese soldiers on the ground were stunned, the sparrow rolled again and returned to level flight.

    Yin Mailman turns!  If Yang Qiu saw this scene, he would definitely jump up with joy. He had talked about this world-famous air combat maneuver with the young men of the flight team when he inspected the aviation school, but he never expected that it would actually appear!  The German pilot who came to observe from the back seat of one of the Sparrows was even more surprised. A few months later, he brought this tactical maneuver back to Europe and named it Yu Lei Turn after the pilot named Yu Lei.

    Ono Shoji was also startled by this action, but when he recovered from this series of dazzlingWhen he woke up, he realized that the other person was already at the same height as him, and the grinning black-faced guy in the back seat had a huge light machine gun in his hand.

    "Damn" When the two words were still echoing in Ono Shoji's throat, Cui Daomei, who was only a hundred meters away, opened fire.  Although the Army-standard light machine gun was not very suitable for aircraft, it still quickly punched a series of bullet holes in Newburgh when the enemy was unable to even fight back.  Shoji Ono was so frightened that he quickly lowered his altitude, but left the tail of the plane under the muzzle of the gun. After a series of bullets hit there, the downward speed caused the bullet-filled tail to suddenly break.

    The Newburgh, which had made the Japanese soldiers proud just now, was like a fly with its head cut off. No matter how hard Shoji Ono tried, the Newburgh, which had lost its tail fin, still fell headlong.

    "Ha ha"

    ¡°Cui Guangmao, who didn¡¯t know that he had already experienced the world¡¯s best air combat record, saw his opponent fall headlong, and he was so excited that he simply threw the bullets down. This waste of ammunition also only caused a little chaos on the ground.

    With the fighter planes that shot down an enemy plane and effectively bombed once, the sparrows roared over the Japanese positions in a show of force. After returning to the camp and reporting the results, Yang Qiu went to the airport in person to praise the young men of the flight team for shooting down the enemy planes.  The successful bombing pilots Yu Lei and Cui Fubin, nicknamed Cui Big Brain, were also awarded the Medal of Valor.  In the end, with this intentional or unintentional connivance, the "Sparrow" group was mobilized across the board in the next few days, dropping a total of more than 500 80mm mortar shells and Molotov cocktails on various targets of the Japanese army. Although the results were not great,  The psychological pressure caused to Japanese soldiers was great. No one liked the bombs and Molotov cocktails falling on their heads every day.

    As more and more small bombs fell every day, the sound of ground artillery that had been silent for almost half a month gradually became more intense. In order to test the defense line, the Japanese army dispatched two brigades for the first time and launched an attack on Dagushan under the cover of a cruiser.  , but faced with the urgently repaired heavy artillery on the Dagushan Fortress, the battle ended in only one hour.

    On June 26, a Japanese regiment launched an attack on Baiyanggou in Xiuyan with the support of 24 Meiji 38-type 75mm field guns. The 1022 Brigade of the 102nd Division of the National Defense Force also held on tenaciously with the support of a 105 howitzer battalion, and finally defeated  this attack.  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. When they were about to reach Gaizhou City, they were bombarded by a 150-meter heavy artillery battalion of the 1st Division that had just arrived, and had to retreat temporarily.  .

    Attacks occurred at three points simultaneously within two days, which was obviously an attempt to test the weak points of the defense line. This also made the Haicheng headquarters, which had been relaxed for a few days, nervous. As troops arrived one after another, they gathered from Dagushan in the east to Gai in the west.  The state's troops have reached four divisions, not counting the two divisions deployed along the Yalu River in Fengcheng and Jiuliancheng.

    Seeing more and more National Defense Forces pouring into Fengtian, General Zhengyi in the temple could not sit still and called the military officers for a meeting again.  But when the officers entered the conference room, they discovered that the table was filled with soju from Kagoshima.  Japan is a country that is extremely short of food. Although the main ingredients of this kind of soju are potatoes, buckwheat and other miscellaneous grains, after several consecutive years of food shortages, Japan has not seen much wine for sale. The fact that so much wine is available at this moment only shows one thing.  Problem, a large-scale attack is about to begin.

    The officers were extremely excited. General Zhengyi Temple was even more excited when he stood in the center. He pointed at the map of South Manchuria behind him and said with fists: "Everyone, the remaining two regiments of the Fifth Division will arrive in Lushun tomorrow! There are also some who arrived with them.  There are sixty artillery pieces of various types! The country has now been mobilized. The Guards Division, the 3rd Division and the 18th Division are ready to come to Lushun. The Second Fleet will also fully provide us with artillery support this time.  . As you all know, the 50 million people of the empire tighten their pants not because they want to see a disastrous defeat, but because they want to see a victory!

    They made a mistake. If they had done it all, I believe it would have been worse, but now they have no chance!  This time, I ask everyone to use all their strength. I ask all divisions to go all out. Don¡¯t be frightened by the appearance of the Chinese army. The bombs dropped by their planes only killed less than fifty people. They  The defense line also had holes. The Lucians' firepower ten years ago was more powerful than they are now, but they still collapsed under the continuous charge.  I believe that the result this time will not change, and victory must belong to our Empire of Japan.  "

    After finishing speaking, Terauchi Masaki waved his hand and asked the orderlies to pour wine for everyone: "Since the food disaster, I believe many of you have not smelled such a fragrant smell for a long time. Come on! Let's toast together, with the most beautiful wine  Let¡¯s drink wine to strengthen our journey, this time we will bring back the entire Manchuria and Mongolia for the empire!¡±

    Raising the wine glass high.
