s: I wish all my friends a happy New Year and good luck in the Year of the Sheep.
April 5, 1913, AD 2754.
At 8 o'clock this morning, China submitted a declaration of war to Japan.
This year is the Guichou Year of the lunar calendar, so this war is often called the "Sino-Japanese Guichou War" in China.
According to the People's Liberation Army's style, this war, like previous wars, also kicked off with an air strike.
Half an hour after the declaration of war, the Northeast Group of the Chinese Air Force launched air strikes against military targets in Kanto Prefecture and North Korea.
At 8:35, 288 aircraft from three wings arrived over the Qingshui River defense line and began to bombard the defense line indiscriminately.
In the face of the increasingly serious threat from China, Japan's defense of the Liaodong Peninsula has been increasingly strengthened.
After more than three years of operation, the entire Luda area has been fortified.
The Qingshui River Defense Line was constructed starting in 1910.
It is located south of the Qingshui River and runs through the entire Liaodong Peninsula from Pulandian to Tongzicheng and Wanghai Temple.
The Qingshui River Defense Line was only the first line of defense.
A second line of defense, the Jinzhou Defense Line, was built from the relatively narrow Fenghuang Mountain to Dayao Bay.
These two lines of defense are mainly made of rock and reinforced concrete, and some key areas are reinforced with steel plates.
The firepower configuration of the two lines of defense is also quite powerful, including machine gun bunkers, forts, bunkers, barbed wire fences, and minefields.
The Lushun Fortress, which was built since the Russian occupation period, is the last line of defense.
Japan has also invested a lot of energy in transforming and strengthening it here.
After Japan learned about the construction plan of the Fuxi-class super-dreadnought ship, they even added five 356mm heavy fortress guns for full-time sea defense.
However, the flaw of these defense lines lies in air defense, especially the Qingshui River defense line.
Air defense was almost completely not considered when designing.
At the same time, in order to save costs, the top defenses of many forts on this line of defense are very miserable, and many of them are even open-air forts without even roofs.
Later, although Japan also strengthened its anti-aircraft weapons, they did not have the money to make major changes, so it was only better than nothing.
As a result, when they encountered a real air attack, the Japanese troops on the Qingshui River defense line were dumbfounded.
Yes, they did add a lot of anti-aircraft firepower later, including anti-aircraft guns imported from the UK, but the effect was not ideal at all.
As mentioned earlier, because this line of defense was not designed with air defense in mind, many locations suitable for air defense firepower points are occupied by other facilities, and positions that can be converted into air defense firepower points are not good at shooting.
In addition, the anti-aircraft artillery of this era was not easy to use, leaving them unable to fight back against China's air strikes.
However, the Japanese do not only have anti-aircraft guns and high-speed aircraft, they also have fighter jets.
Although the Japanese have always been known for their poor strategic literacy, their tactical literacy is still good.
As a great power, they have also recognized the importance of air power very early.
After China shocked the world with its powerful air force, all major powers accelerated the construction of air power.
At this time, the air power of various countries was much stronger than at the same time in the original time and space.
Japan was certainly no exception.
In 1911, they The air force, Army Aviation and Naval Aviation, was formally established.
At this time, there were two main types of Japanese fighter jets.
One was the "Newport 11" biplane fighter developed by the French Newport Co., Ltd., and the other was the British Vickers F. b. 5 biplane fighter.
The former is equipped with land aviation, and the latter is equipped with sea aviation.
The main forces stationed in Kanto Prefecture are 90 aircraft from the Second Air Force of the Army Aviation Group and 90 aircraft from the 3rd Air Force of the Hainan Airlines.
After the ultimatum was issued on April 1, the Japanese military began to enter a state of combat readiness.
As long as it was daytime, aircraft were dispatched to patrol the skies over Kanto Prefecture.
China's fleet of aircraft taking off from Shenyang, Liaoyang and other places were discovered by Japanese patrol planes before they reached the target Qingshui River defense line.
China didn't plan a sneak attack, it just came over like this.
However, at the same time that they discovered the fleet from the Northeast, 36 airships and 120 bombers taking off from the Shandong Peninsula, escorted by 122 fighter jets, also reached the sky above Lushun Airport.
Obviously, this was an oversight by the Japanese.
Their air patrol mission was divided into two parts.
The Army Aviation was mainly responsible for patrolling the Northeast region, and the Hainan Airlines was responsible for patrolling the sea.

Because according to their expectations, it is normal for the Chinese to attack the Qingshui River defense line first, not Lushun, which is farther away.
Although the Chinese navy also has the possibility of attacking, it has to pass through the Bohai Strait, so their maritime patrol aircraft have gone to the Yellow Sea outside the strait.
There is no way, this is the result of lack of air combat experience.
So amidst the sharp sirens, the first batch of bombs in the Sino-Japanese Guichou War fell.
The air raid on Port Arthur begins At this time, Japanese fighter jets at Lushun Airport were taking off one after another, preparing to intercept the incoming northeastern group of aircraft.
When they discovered the aircraft group heading toward Shandong, it was already too late.
When the air raid began, only more than 50 Japanese aircraft took off successfully.
The Chinese escort fleet had long since discovered them.
Before they even arrived at the airport, more than half of the escort fighters rushed down.
It was basically a two-on-one pincer attack.
The airships and bombers continued to do their own thing as if they hadn't seen them. matter.
Although Japanese pilots tried hard to resist, neither Newport 11 nor F. b. 5.
Facing the Chinese Air Force's J-1 and J-2, they are too fragile and are not opponents of the same level at all.
In the history of the original time and space, fighter jets only appeared a year after the start of World War I.
The weapons used on aircraft before that were very strange and varied.
They were all based on the imagination and preferences of the pilots, such as bricks and darts. , fishing nets, hooks, javelins, pistols, rifles, machine guns and more.
Of course, the combat effectiveness of these imaginative equipment is extremely limited.
In this plane, because of the emergence of the Chinese Air Force, this very strange stage was simply omitted.
The direct use of machine guns replaced the highly personal "imaginary weapons" on early aircraft.
However, the rotating propeller surface became a major obstacle to machine gun shooting.
Although the "shooting coordinator" is not complicated, it is difficult to think of it without breaking through the window paper.
Although China sells aircraft to foreign countries, it does not sell fighter jets.
They are all unarmed reconnaissance aircraft or seaplanes, as well as modified versions of the An-2 Magic transport aircraft "Yun 1" and "Dayan" launched last year.
The technology of "shooting coordinator" was sold only to the United States and Germany.
The Allies did not think of this for a while.
In order to solve the problem of machine gun shooting, they came up with two methods.
One is to mount the machine gun above the wing to avoid the rotating propeller surface.
For example, the French "Newport 11" biplane fighter has a longitudinally fixed machine gun installed on the upper wing; the other is to use a propeller type.
Propeller layout, such as the British Vickers F. b. 5 biplane fighter.
However, the first measure is not conducive to the pilot's aiming and shooting, and the second measure seriously affects the performance of the aircraft due to inherent flaws in the layout.
Therefore, although these aircraft are equipped with machine guns and can be used in aerial combat, they are not yet true fighter jets.
Coupled with their low engine power, let alone aerodynamic appearance, all aspects of performance are completely outclassed by Chinese fighter jets.
Now even at a complete disadvantage in terms of numbers, it is entirely conceivable that the result of this air battle would be one-sided.
"Hahaha, I killed another one," Wei Dabao shouted excitedly on the alliance radio, then skillfully made a semi-somersault turn, left the exploding fireball, and prepared to bite another F. b. 5.
"Dabao, get out of here, this is mine, don't take it from me," the teammates yelled from the radio.
When the J-1 on the opposite side saw Wei Dabao flying over to grab monsters, it immediately panicked and opened fire without caring about the best shooting position in the doctrine.
"Click, click, click."
The nose of the machine shot out two chains of fire.
This J-1 was lucky, only f was visible in front. b. 5 There was a shudder, the engine started to smoke, and then the Japanese aircraft fell headlong.
"Huagaimu, what are you kid?"
Seeing this, Wei Dabao had no choice but to pull the nose of the plane and go looking for other prey.
"Hahahaha, Dabao, I asked you to rob it with me," Hua Gaimu said with a proud smile.
"Oh no, it's gone."
Hua Gaimu turned around a few times in the air and found that there were no more Japanese planes in the sky.
He couldn't help shouting in disappointment.

"Damn it, this little devil is serious.
He didn't prepare too many planes.
I only have one aircraft."
Hua Gaimu's classmate is pretty good, and he finally has a victory.
There are still more than half of the comrades who are extremely hungry and thirsty.
Wei Dabao's two accounts are not the most, and there is a classmate with a great personality who has already accounted for three.
While the fighter jets were engaged in air combat, the airport on the ground was already in flames.
Key targets such as anti-aircraft gun positions, hangars, oil depots, maintenance workshops, command towers, and pilot dormitories were all bombarded by countless bombs and rockets.
At 8:50, 196 aircraft of two wings crossed the Yalu River and entered North Korea.
After receiving the report from the front line, the 3rd Japanese Army Aviation Regiment in Seoul immediately took off all fighter jets to fight.
There was no suspense in this air battle.
After half an hour of air battle, only 6 of the 90 aircraft of the Third Flight Regiment returned, and the rest were all the results of the Chinese Air Force.
Subsequently, the 11th Division stationed in Pyongyang was attacked by air attacks and suffered heavy losses.
At 10 a.m., China’s Pacific Task Force appeared on the north side of the Taiwan Strait, near Taipei.
"Sure enough, it was the Air Force who made the first move."
Gao Yujie looked at the dark fleet of aircraft over Taipei and couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Haifeng smiled and said: "Lao Gao, don't worry.
The Taipei Fortress is very strong.
It cannot be destroyed by these small planes alone.
We also have to rely on our 360 cannon."
Gao Yujie put down the telescope and said: "Fortresses are secondary issues.
What I care about now is when will the Japanese combined fleet come?"
