The international situation is changing day by day.
On the 12th, the North American U.S. military, under the command of the famous general Patton, annihilated two regiments of the Japanese 143rd Division that broke into Little Rock, Arkansas, and successfully recovered the lost territory. Japanese-Mexico Allied Forces Commander Doihara Ken
The second lieutenant general had to order the remnants of the division to retreat to the high ground from Hot Springs to Malvern, waiting for subsequent reinforcements to arrive.
In the Panama region, the 19th Army, commanded by Lieutenant General Adachi 23 and placed under the command of the Japanese Army's Southern U.S. Forces Command, once again repelled the U.S. military's landing operation at the Port of Colon. In this battle, more than 6,000 U.S. troops were killed.
Twelve ships were sunk and stranded, four destroyers were severely damaged by Japanese fighter planes and returned for repairs, and the remaining ships also suffered varying degrees of trauma. The U.S. Navy landing formation had to return to Kingston Harbor, Jamaica, to lick its wounds.
In South America, the Japanese army in South America, which has been strengthened repeatedly, received an order from General Ishihara Kanji, the new commander after the theater was upgraded (previously led by the US military), to launch a summer offensive. The five divisions of the Japanese Eleventh Army took on defense tasks.
It was handed over to the newly arrived Fifth Army, and then aggressively marched into Guyana, preparing to occupy Suriname and French Guiana within the next month, completely consolidate the northern coast defense of the South American continent, and prevent the US military from launching a landing operation.
In addition, the Japanese 12th Army, 19th Army, 20th Army and 29th Army, a total of 18 divisions, respectively entered the vast and sparsely populated northern and northwest Brazil from the borders of Colombia and Venezuela.
At the same time, the five divisions of the 33rd Army attacked Peru, which was wavering in attitude. Under the iron heel of the Japanese army, the entire South American continent was in panic.
In Europe, the Germans engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the Soviet army on their eastern front, in the city of Moscow and surrounding areas. Hitler believed that this was Stalin's death struggle, and ignored Heydrich's advice and once again reduced the supplies of the northern and central clusters.
, strengthening the South and Middle East clusters.
Hitler did not know that every move of his army had already been monitored from all directions by South China's satellites, airship radars and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft. He was still putting on a show, constantly deploying troops and generals along the Atlantic coast, trying to create a mass gathering of troops ready for landing.
The illusion of the British Isles.
In the early morning of November 13th, the German aircraft carrier formation set off from Iceland and quietly entered the North Sea, preparing to cover the German air force paratroopers and seize the Isle of Wight. Surface ships would then transport the troops to the Isle of Wight, using it as a base to launch the attack on Britain.
With the clarion call of the Three Islands, when everyone's eyes were focused on Germany's western front, the eastern front launched a surprise attack on South China with lightning speed.
In accordance with the agreement reached with Germany, the Japanese Navy's third aircraft carrier task force consisted of seven aircraft carriers, two high-speed battleships, two heavy cruisers, two light cruisers, 16 Akizuki-class air defense destroyers and more than 20 other ships.
With fifteen troop transport ships and twelve landing ships, they quietly set out from Nagasaki Port, bypassed Jeju Island, and headed for the Bohai Bay.
The Japanese fleet maintained radio silence after setting off.
According to the plan, they will arrive at the sea outside Yingkou Port in the early morning two days later, and immediately launch a beach landing operation. After occupying Yingkou, part of the force will go south to cooperate with the navy to capture Port Arthur and Dalian Port, while the other part of the force will attack Shenyang and capture the port.
This is the core city of Manchuria and Mongolia.
If all goes well, follow-up troops will continue to arrive from the sea, occupy Huludao, Qinhuangdao and other ports in turn, and occupy Shanhaiguan and Tangshan, creating a favorable situation in which they can advance to attack northern Manchuria and retreat to the south to capture Pingjin.
In accordance with the agreement reached with Germany, one week after the launch of the landing operation, the German army launched a full-line offensive on the territory of South China and West Asia. The east and west fronts responded to each other to contain the strength of the Anjia Army, gradually encroaching on the territory of South China and pushing the Axis powers forward.
The purpose of taking one step closer to victory.
The Nanhua intelligence agency, which was extremely concerned about the movements of the Japanese army, determined the movements of the Japanese navy almost immediately. Subsequently, reconnaissance satellites, high-altitude radars and reconnaissance aircraft cooperated with each other. Every move of the Japanese army was under their noses, and there was almost no secret at all.
In the early morning of the 13th, An Yi, who returned to Xinjing in advance, received the exact information that the Japanese army would land at Yingkou, and immediately convened an emergency military meeting to make tit-for-tat arrangements for the Japanese army's plan.
This time is different from the past. The Japanese Navy's third aircraft carrier task force is equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft destroyers. At the same time, its battleships, cruisers and aircraft carriers have also undergone modern transformation, and their anti-aircraft firepower is extremely amazing.
The weapon systems of the Akizuki-class destroyers include four Type 98 100mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns, six 40mm Bofors cannons, twelve 20mm Oerlikon cannons, and one Type 92 Type 4 quadruple 610mm cannon.
The torpedo launch tube can launch the famous Type 93 oxygen torpedo.
Among them, the Type 98 100mm double-mounted anti-aircraft gun is amazingly powerful. Its biggest feature is its long barrel and high power. Its barrel length reaches 65 times the caliber, the projectile weighs 13 kilograms, the charge package weighs 27.15 kilograms, and the muzzle velocity is
Reaching an astonishing 1000 meters/second, far exceeding the 720 meters/second of the Japanese 127mm anti-aircraft gun.
Its artillery pitch angle ranges from +90 to -10 degrees, its maximum range is 14 kilometers, which is similar to the 13.2 kilometers of the Japanese anti-aircraft gun, but its maximum firing height reaches 11 kilometers, far exceeding the 8.1 kilometers of the Japanese anti-aircraft gun, and its rate of fire reaches 15
rounds/minute, when shooting at an elevation angle of 90 degrees, it can reach a maximum of 19-20 rounds/minute, which is far above the 14 rounds/minute of the Japanese anti-aircraft gun.
The turret rotation speed of this anti-aircraft gun reaches 10 degrees 40 minutes/second, and the artillery pitch speed is 16 degrees/second, which is obviously faster than the anti-aircraft gun with a rotation speed of 7 degrees/second and a pitch speed of 12 degrees/second.
The only flaw is that the barrel life of the Japanese anti-aircraft gun is 1,000 rounds, but this gun is reduced to 350 rounds, and the barrel is replaced frequently.
Due to the substantial improvement in Japan's industrial technical capabilities and productivity, the mass production problem of this type of artillery has been solved. In addition to the Akizuki-class destroyers, aircraft carriers, battleships and cruisers have all been equipped with this type of artillery to enhance their anti-aircraft capabilities.
It is completely conceivable how difficult it is for dive bombers and torpedo planes to get close to their opponents under the intensive crossfire of 100mm twin anti-aircraft guns, 40mm Bofors cannons and 20mm Oerlikon cannons. In addition,
The Japanese army upgraded its air and sea search radar and air fire control radar systems based on captured British and American warships. It is no longer possible to replicate the classic battle of using dive bombers and torpedo planes to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop under the opponent's strict air defense formation.
At this time, the "Seahawk" I-type shore-to-ship missile developed based on the "Falcon I" anti-ship missile had just been put into mass production, and the Far East, which was the first to be liberated, had just been deployed. Among them, two sets of launchers were deployed in Vladivostok and one in the Soviet port.
, there is one set in Temple Street, but in the Bohai Bay Rim area, only one set is deployed in Port Arthur, and none of the newly liberated ports in the Han Peninsula are equipped with it.
A complete "Seahawk" I anti-ship missile system includes: four launchers installed on trailers, a warning and target designation radar, a weapons control system and four missile monitoring vehicles, twelve missiles
The transport loading truck and a refueling truck carry a base number of twelve anti-ship missiles.
This shore-to-ship missile is very similar to a traditional aircraft layout. It is equipped with a triangular wing in the middle of the missile body, and a vertical stabilizer and a tail composed of two horizontal stabilizers at the tail of the missile, making them mutually exclusive.
It forms an angle of 120 degrees. Its power plant includes a cruise liquid rocket engine and a launch booster.
When the anti-ship missile reaches cruising speed after launch, the launch booster automatically detaches from the missile body. Due to this design layout of the power unit, the launch weight of the "Sea Eagle" I-type anti-ship missile is 2,300 kilograms and can be used
Its flight speed in the cruise segment reaches Mach 0.85.
At the same time, the maximum range of the "Sea Eagle" I anti-ship missile can reach 50 kilometers, and it uses a 400-kilogram armor-piercing blasting warhead equipped with a delayed explosion fuze, which poses a great threat to the target.
At this time, it was too late to wait for post-production deployment, and the possibility of Japanese attacks on Lushun and Dalian could not be ruled out, so An Yi ordered two sets of launchers deployed at Vladivostok Port, which had a relatively complete coastal defense system, to be urgently transported to Yingkou Port via airship for emergency response.
While deploying shore-to-ship missiles and improving and strengthening the Ying Port's fortresses and forts, the Navy dispatched torpedo planes and bombers to lay mines in the waters near Yingkou and near the mouth of the Liaohe River. At the same time, in order to prevent the Japanese army from temporarily changing their targets, they also deployed mines in Huludao and Lushun to prevent the Japanese from temporarily changing their targets.
, a large number of mines have also been deployed in the waters near Dalian Port and the Yalu River Estuary to ensure the safety of Huludao Port, Lushun Port, Dalian Bay and the Yalu River Estuary.
Huang Xunyi was not satisfied with this, and assigned fighter planes to place many mines on the Japanese route. He was disgusted and sneaky like a Japanese thief.
As for the active mobilization of troops, this is what the title implies. Gu Changfeng was leading his troops to Liaodong via the railway line, and there was no way An Yi would let the Japanese troops plunder the place after landing.
At 6 o'clock in the morning on the 15th, a mine in the fleet was triggered on the road, causing serious damage to a light cruiser in the fleet and having to return for repairs. The Japanese Navy had to move forward while clearing mines, and arrived at the scheduled sea area four hours later than scheduled.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, Lieutenant General Tsukahara 243, the commander of the Japanese Navy's third aircraft carrier task force, without any hesitation, immediately decided to launch a surprise attack on Yingkou at dawn. More than a hundred carrier-based aircraft were on the deck of the aircraft carrier.
They took off one after another, formed a formation over the fleet, and flew towards Yingkou.
Every move of the Japanese army was under the surveillance of our army. When the Japanese carrier-based aircraft took off and formed a team above the aircraft carrier, Anjiajun's fighter planes located at Panjin, Jinzhou, and Anshan airports also took off one after another. Yingkou's military airport was located at Dashiqiao in the northeast.
, the propellers roared, and the fighter planes took off one after another, formed a battle formation, and flew towards the Yingkou airspace.
...
At Yingkou West Fort, Commander of the Northeast Military Region Yang Guan stood in the command post of the fortress, observing the sea in the distance through the periscope.
The air defense siren sounded shrilly in the fortress. In the early morning light, only small black dots appeared on the sea in the distance, which were traces of the Japanese fleet. At the same time, rolling dark clouds appeared on the line between the sea and the sky.
The dense fleet of aircraft flew towards the fort at high speed.
Seeing that the Japanese warships had entered the range of the fortress artillery, a call requesting to fire went into the command headquarters. Yang Guan calmly ordered: "Don't be in a hurry to fire. We will fire again when the enemy starts clearing mines. The enemy's air force,
Let our air force deal with it, and at the same time order the air defense forces to prepare!"
"yes!"
At this time, a fierce and large-scale air battle was about to break out in the sky over Liaodong Bay.
The First Aviation Group of the Northeast Military Region, led by Lieutenant Colonel Xiang Shuang, who had the home field advantage of Yingkou Airport, was ordered to take the lead. Seventy-five A29 fighter jets from five fighter squadrons met the Japanese fighter jets flying from the sea level.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the screams and whimpers of airplanes resounded in the sky, the roar of machine guns and the firing of machine guns came one after another. Occasionally, Anjiajun's fighter planes would fire unique rockets, and meteors and fire showers shuttled back and forth in the sky.
It was spectacular, with planes constantly exploding in the air, and planes dragging thick smoke into the sea, causing a column of water to rise into the sky.

The weather has been so uncomfortable these two days. The emperor will get sick if he turns on the air conditioner. If he doesn't turn on the air conditioner, he only blows the fan, and the heat is unbearable. In the high temperature of 36 to 7 degrees, his head is confused all day long! It is said that what will happen next
The temperature will rise to 39 degrees. I really don’t know how to survive.
