Chapter 141: Carrier Dive: Target-Royal Navy

Chapter 141 Carrier Aircraft Dive: Target-Royal Navy
Within the territory of Xuwen, Leizhou Peninsula, Hai'an Port.
Soon after dawn, the tranquility of the harbour was broken. On the road leading to the port, military trucks loaded with Southwest Army soldiers and equipment and drove into the port.
On December 5, 1931, the Southwest People's Army's battle over the sea in Qiongzhou officially began. With a sharp charge, the soldiers, carrying combat packages and rifles, quickly jumped off the truck, and the whole team lined up from time to time.
When the sun had just jumped from the sea level, the port had already assembled a large number of troops.
Commander-in-chief Huo Dingguo and Guangdong Provincial Government Director Chen Jitang appeared at the military port. With the order of Huo Dingguo, the 5th Division of the Southwest People's Army's main force immediately ran to board the ship.
There are no large transport ships in the military port. Some are just a few ordinary transport ships of the Southwest People's Army Navy and some medium-sized cargo ships solicited from the Hohai Transport Company under the Shusheng Group. The new Hai'an Port was shortly after it was newly built, and the port was able to provide docking for 10,000-ton ships, making it one of the earliest coastal ports to be built in the fourth five-year plan in the southwest. Because it is close to Qiongzhou, the Southwest People's Army intentionally strengthened its construction, not only the construction of the seaport, but also several large antenna nets rotating toward the sea 24 hours a day even on the top of the mountain against which the seaport was backed.
Of course, in addition to these advanced auxiliary equipment, the two Ruili-class destroyers in the port and the dense antiaircraft guns in the port defense facilities also make it possible for enemies who may come to do so.
When the Fifth Division boarded the ship one after another, the two Ruili-class destroyers numbered 1 and 3 also sounded the whistle, slowly left the berth, and sounded the whistle of the entire harbour, as if it were the brightest bugle.
One of the two advanced destroyers fully loaded with displacement tons was built by Shanghai Jiangnan Shipyard and returned to Fangchenggang Shipyard for outfitting, and one was later built by Horseshoe Bay Naval Shipyard. The whole ship is 429 meters long, 4 meters wide, and has a draft of 315 meters. The design of the warship abandoned the traditional design thinking, and neither used heavy armor protection nor the large-caliber naval guns still favored by the navies of various countries, but adopted a new mm gun. However, the dense anti-aircraft gun barrels above, the large-caliber torpedo tubes on both sides of the deck, and an unknown weapon system consisting of more than a dozen short barrels placed in front of the main gun are all combined tusks of Ruili-class destroyers.
Standing on ship 1, Huo Dingguo took a deep breath of the sea breeze with a slight smell, but did not feel any discomfort. Instead, he felt the whole body was full of blood. Chen Jitang was standing behind him, and he couldn't help raising his telescope to watch the distant ships still boarding Officers and soldiers of the Fifth Division of the Southwest People's Army.
"It's so spectacular." Compared to two years earlier, when Chen Jitang wanted to deal with Chen Ce, he still had to rely on a few broken planes as a deterrent. What he could get was only some fishing boats, but now he sees a dense opening from the port. Look at the new type of warships under your feet.
Huo Dingguo nodded, seeming to remember the plot when he crossed the sea to Japan, "Yeah. When I went to Japan, I was still in the cabin of a British ship. When I arrived in Yokohama, the whole ship was detained by the Japanese navy. Now, even the British ship had to yield in front of the powerful Japanese navy. Let me think about the caliber of those giant artillery, I am afraid that it is a few millimeters. "
"The Japanese warships are tens of thousands of tons. It is indeed large enough, but it is okay for us to start late in the southwest and the ship ’s displacement is less. The Japanese ’s military ideology is too crazy." Of course, as a coastal warlord, Chen Jitang knew the Japanese army. Some of the developments, especially the fleets of various countries moving from time to time in China's territorial waters, among them the Japanese fleet is the worst.
Huo Dingguo smiled mysteriously, but did not tell the truth, but just said vaguely, "Director Chen, since you got on the boat today, you will not be in vain. Both you and I will become alternative witnesses for this cross-sea battle."
"Of course, of course." Chen Jitang didn't know anything, but just laughed.
After the entire division boarded and left the port, Huo Dingguo and Chen Jitang came to the observation room on the destroyer.
"I said, brother, we really built this ship ourselves? But it's really a big guy." Ye Mingguang picked up the cigarettes handed over by Huang Bing, a second-class soldier from the navy, and picked up a lighter in Huang Bing's hand. Two bites.
Huang Bing's post is special. It is also one of the few people allowed to smoke on the warship. He smoked an egret in his hand and proudly said, "Of course. The warship under this foot is produced by us in the southwest. Alas, this telescope It's from Kunming. The smoke is from Yuxi. The lighter is from Guilin ... "
"None are foreign goods, good guys. Well, I said Brother Huang, this has been with you since I got on the boat. Is this job to accompany you to the sea?" Since being hired by the southwest army squadron a few days ago Ye Mingguang always felt that the fog was in the clouds. First, he met the Southwest Army, which was completely different from the previous Guangdong army. He was shocked by the strange guns and artillery, and then he boarded the ship in the morning. The grand scene let me only see it. Ye Mingguang, who went to the sea with more than a dozen fishing boats, is still limping. The more so, the more he felt uneasy. These soldiers apparently went to war, and what he did as a grass-roots person who could only fish.
"Nice Comrade Ye, we just want you to help look at the sea." Huo Dingguo's voice sounded. Although the second soldier Huang Bing had been staying in the observation room and didn't know him, he saw a yellow star on his shoulder at first sight, and threw away the cigarette. Go to the ashtray box, put your feet together, and salute him with a snap. "1 ship looked at the second class soldier Huang Bing, met the general"
General, general? When Ye Mingguang heard it, his feet were soft. The biggest officer he had ever seen was the village chief and the officials who came up from the township. Of course, the squad leader the other day was also counted, but he never expected that the grand general came to find himself. And I was still talking to myself, and suddenly I was stammered. I wanted to follow the salute and didn't know how to put my hands. I swallowed, "I, my name is Ye Mingguang, yes, I am a fisherman. I have also seen the general."
"Comrade Ye, don't be nervous, you are not a soldier. This general, or a soldier, don't need to be so restrained. Military regulations can't control you, haha." Huo Dingguo patted his shoulder, and saw that the smoke in his hand was almost burning. Now, he took out a pack of Chinese tobacco purchased at his own expense and handed it to him, "Come, keep smoking. This time we are looking for you, mainly to let you follow the landing troops to observe the rising tide on the coast of Qiongzhou Island, although we have done a lot Early work, but no fisherman who is most familiar with the sea leads the way, and everyone is not at ease during this high tide. "
"No, no problem, I'm the best at this." Speaking of the bank, Ye Mingguang didn't stutter. He is righteous, not afraid of being served by soldiers, or afraid of being unable to help him, so he is anxious.
"Well, you and Comrade Huang Bing are responsible for observing the tide changes. If something is abnormal, you must warn as soon as possible."
At the same time, a type of gunboat formation in Haikou Port is sailing out of the shabby port and heading towards the Qiongzhou Strait.
This is Chen Ce's naval force, a naval force consisting of five gunboats. It was on them that Chen Ce escaped Chen Jitang's offensive before.
Today, Chen Ce leads the army himself and wants to rely on this "southeast only" navy to prevent the Southwest Army from landing.
"uncle"
On the gunship Haikou, Chen Liren saw his second uncle standing there watching the sea with serious thoughts, stepped on the deck and walked over.
"Liren, why are you here? Didn't I let you stay in Haikou?"
Seeing his nephew Chen Liren suddenly appeared on the gunboat, Chen Ce was a bit annoyed. He had nothing to say about this sea battle, and the whole person felt restless. So he deliberately left the nephew in Haikou and prevented him from boarding the ship.
Although there are many males in the family, this nephew is the most productive and self-reliant. At a young age, he went to the southwest for thousands of miles. Although his letters continued for several years, his family still doesn't know what book he was studying in the southwest. He never asked his family for money, because reading was free there. Even if he had to pay some expenses because he didn't have a proof of poverty, he was covered by his own work-study program.
"Liren, you are always so disobedient. When I was going to send you to Great Britain to study, you went to Kunming alone. Now it ’s better, the war is near, and you ca n’t wait for the good southwest, but run back. Although the southwest government There is no navy, but this is a war after all. It is better for you to go away as a reading boy. "Chen Ce had a lot of heart and heart, training Chen Liren on the spot.
"Uncle, I already told you about your deal with Colonel Deng."
"Huh, the deal? The wife's kindness, it's not enough to succeed or fail." To this day, Chen Ce no longer avoids this nephew. Deng Wenyi's money has indeed been collected, and he is also tempted by his promises. Deng Wenyi showed him the letter of appointment of Chairman Jiang and appointed him as the Deputy Minister of Naval Operations of the Nanjing National Government. In addition to the 200,000 oceans delivered to him, once the war is over, he will be promoted regardless of success or failure. , To work in Nanjing.
Chen Liren stepped forward two steps, leaning on the railing, endured the bumps of the gunboat, and looked at the sea in front of him. "Uncle, aren't you all curious. What books have I read in the southwest these years? Maybe I shouldn't hide it You guys. I'm actually a student of the Fangchenggang Naval Academy. I've been awarded the rank of second lieutenant and will soon enter the Southwest People's Army Navy.
"what???"
Chen Ce was shocked and turned around to seize his nephew. This time, the formation was ready to organize the Southwest Army to land in Qiongzhou, but did not expect that there was a person from the Southwest People's Army in front of them. "Liren, are you crazy? Why join the Southwest Army?"
"Second Uncle, why can't I join the Southwest Army? Maybe you think I'm still a kid who didn't understand anything a few years ago, but I still have to say that looking at the whole of China, only Southwest can save this nation, and only Southwest can let everyone Lead a good life. "
"Liren, these are the tactics of politicians. For politicians, not all are so deceptive. They are blinding you."
"Uncle, it wasn't me who was blinded, but you. Just five or six gunboats could not even turn over a spray in front of the Southwest Navy. Do you really think the Kuomintang wants you to block the Southwest Army? They are just everything and the Southwest Right, reactionary in everything. "
"The whole southeast, except the Nanjing government, I have never seen a ship."
"Uncle, we can't be a frog at the bottom of the well. The strength of the Southwest Navy is no longer able to withstand these gunboats. Earlier closing down will not only allow these Qiongzhou Erlang to die, but also make a good end."
"Dash, are you cursing your second uncle?" Chen Ce didn't understand. Several gunboats might be able to block several sea ships, but if the Southwest sends an air force, there will be no way to deal with it. However, these are not his concerns. Regardless of success or failure, Chairman Jiang's promise is the most important.
The quarrel between the two people immediately attracted the attention of the sailors on the gunboat. Chen Ce avoided his words, but Chen Liren wanted to say something, but saw Deng Wenyi come up from the bottom of the cabin.
"Your name is Chen Liren, right? I'm Deng Wenyi, a special agent of the Central Government of Nanjing." Deng Wenyi came over, not angry, but looked at the young man with interest. Just now he had heard the conversation between the two people under the deck. "You can't tell. You are actually a naval student at the Southwest Military Academy, and you can be regarded as a family member. You are on the same path haha."
"Deng, Chief Deng, the children are young and ignorant, you have a lot of adults ..." "It's okay, young people don't see the big picture, I don't blame him. Although the Southwest has reacted a little, the talents trained are still good. This time After completion, if Li Ren is willing, I can go to the Navy Department, I will vouch for him. "Deng Wenyi, a young man like Chen Liren, has seen many of these people who have not been involved in the world. Seduction of color will be so idealistic. I really want him to follow Nanjing, and after seeing the style of the central government in power in China, these ideals and faction disputes will be thrown away by him. Only with high weight and more money is the most practical.
"Colonel Deng, it's not that I'm young and ignorant, but it's true. Today, the southwest is no longer able to be blocked by these gunboats. The current affairs expert is Junjie, and the cliff is the right way. Although I am on a higher level, but in Privately, I am even more reluctant to have any unforeseen circumstances between the second uncle and these soldiers. "Chen Liren did not conceal anything. The original mission was like this. The superior sent him back to Qiongzhou in advance in order to allow him to persuade Chen Ce to solve the Qiongzhou issue peacefully. Do not want to cause innocent casualties.
Deng Wenyi shook his head. This young man is still too young and ignorant. It is recognized that there is no navy in the southwest. As the chief of the intelligence department, he has not received information about the southwest navy. Even if there are some ships, not all of them are sent to Qiongzhou. Strait. Even if it came, the gunboat formation blocked the bombardment, and then flew away, it was considered to complete the task entrusted to President Jiang. In his opinion, the principal of Qiongzhou, who was lonely overseas, couldn't swallow this breath, and gave the Southwest a stumbling block. First, the landing troops were shelled, and then the slogan of armed counterattack against the southwestern occupation was sloganed, and then the gunboat formation was carried away to Nanjing to shape the heroic navy to counter the southwest. This is the whole plan.
"Uncle, you ..."
"Come here, tie me up to this scumbag." Chen Ce tied Chen Liren decisively. Although he still hurts his nephew, but now there is a character Deng Wenyi who is related to the future of the Chen family, he has to do so.
Deng Wenyi nodded with satisfaction and went into the cabin again.
Seeing this, Chen Ce approached his nephew Chen Liren and whispered, "Liren, don't make any more trouble. The opportunity for our Chen Jiafei Huang Tengda is today. You don't want to hurt your comrades, and I don't want to kill the people. Start a war At that time, I ordered the brothers to deliberately go wrong. "
"uncle……"
"Okay, I'm done. Now that you have learned the skills of a navy, go with me to Nanjing. There will be an opportunity for our Chen family, it is a world you have never seen before, nothing better than yours The rank of second lieutenant is a hundred times stronger. "
When Chen Liren saw that persuasion was invalid, he felt a little annoyed, but thinking of some details, he felt relieved. Things may change, depending on how the second uncle chose when the Southwest Navy appeared. Now, I have laid the foundation anyway.
Seeing that his nephew no longer spoke, Chen Ce calmed down. Even if there were some gunboats in the southwest, it was a big draw. If a few planes bombed themselves, the specially strengthened 'aircraft machine gun' of the formation should be able to play a role. The target of the ship is, as a whole, even if you can't prevent the other party from landing, it is OK to withdraw.
As for Qiongzhou Island, less than two regiments of infantry are outdated, and even if the other party came across the sea in a fishing boat, it was unstoppable. Therefore, Chen Ce ordered the troops early in the morning, and once the opponent successfully landed, he dropped his arms and did not resist. The real collision place was chosen by him instead.
Time passed quickly, the narrow Qiongzhou Strait was only twenty nautical miles, and the gunboat would not take long to run. For two forward sailing fleets, degrees.
"The commander-in-chief reported that the front-line airport had called in. The naval aviation fighter aircraft had already appeared in the gunship formation to which Chen Ce belongs.
The communications staff saluted and handed the documents to Huo Dingguo.
Huo Dingguo glanced carefully and nodded. "Return to the military headquarters and say that everything is going as planned."
"Yes," the communications staff saluted again and was about to go out. Another intelligence was sent.
"Report, the military call, the radar of Leizhou Airport has just revealed the fleet of other countries that are approaching the Qiongzhou Strait."
"Uh? Which country?"
Huo Dingguo jumped in his heart, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, Jiang Taigong fished, and the fish didn't get enough, but the other main lord came.
"The Leizhou Airport is dispatching fighters to the waters where the radar is currently targeting, and the results should soon be available."
Huo Dingguo nodded, and said to some worried Chen Jitang, "Director Chen need not worry. Liberation of Qiongzhou is the first battle across the sea in our southwest. Foreign forces want to intervene, or to watch, all in our plan. Yesterday. , We have already received intelligence on the departure of the British Far East Navy Second Division in Hong Kong. I can tell you for sure that the crossing of the sea is only part of this plan.
"Is that so? Can our two destroyers deal with each other?"
"Maybe not. The other side has a light cruiser, a three-ship formation, not two of our destroyers." Huo Dingguo not only was not in a hurry, but reassured him, "Relax, let's wait and see what happens. "
"Order each ship to go forward, and order 3 ships to move closer to us." Huo Dingguo was not a naval officer. The order issued was a long-term prepared battle plan. Captain Ge Yunsheng of 1 ship naturally obeyed the command of the general command of crossing the sea. "Yes"
"Southwest Army Plane"
When the sound of the engine of the aircraft rang over the sea, Chen Ce knew that the Air Force of the Southwest Army had arrived. There were no third-party aircraft here. Qiongzhou had two broken aircraft, and the rest was opposite the Southwest Army ’s Leizhou Peninsula Airport near Zhanjiang. Already.
However, when Chen Ce was preparing to order the formation to prepare for air defense, the two fighter planes took a circle and flew back. This made him a little puzzled. What happened to the Southwest Army, did he still have to talk about it before he started fighting? Or really want to rely on Liren to persuade yourself?
Unsure of the situation, he immediately ordered the formation to go forward.
Twenty nautical miles away from Chen Ce's shattered gunboat formation, a three-ship formation was sailing towards the middle section of the Qiongzhou Strait in a non-combat formation.
The three warships all carried the flag of the Royal Navy of the British Empire, the navy flag of the cross with a red cross and the brave flag. The first one was a big guy, the Royal Navy's Linxian class light cruiser: the Penelope. With a displacement of 6715 tons at full load, it is definitely a giant class in the southeast China.
"Major Edgar, we are about to reach the scheduled sea area." On the flagship of the three-ship formation Penelope, a major navy officer reported to Major Edgar, the formation's highest commander.
Edgar, smoking the big pipe in his hand, ordered: "As planned, sail into the strait. When will the Chinese want to cross the sea, we will just take a look at how their fishing boats sent troops ashore Maybe, we can accidentally sink several ships, hahaha ... it will be reported to the Admiralty at that time, it is their ship too, and the waves generated by our cruisers are too big. "
The Royal Navy ’s fleet ignored the fact that it was already China ’s territorial waters, and in their opinion, the oceans of the world should open access to the British Empire.
"Om ..."
When an airplane came in the distance, Major General Edgar knocked on the table with a pipe angrily, "Damn Chinese, airplane. Order the air defense team to be ready to strike these birds."
Because Southwest China has an air force and the Far East Fleet has also put air defense on the agenda, this has added a sufficient number of anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns to some important ships. Of course, this sufficient number is only what they think.
At this time, Edgar didn't seem to have thought about it at all, if the Chinese sent many planes to attack the three Royal Navy warships at this time, what would be the result.
"The majesty of the Royal Navy cannot be offended by the Chinese." This was Edgar's thought.
"It is reported that the British warships are still sailing towards the strait after our aircraft is present."
After receiving the information, Huo Dingguo knew that it was time to execute the next plan. Captain Ge Yunsheng of ship 1 immediately ordered the flagship to turn towards the British fleet, leaving 3 ships to deal with the possible Qiongzhou gunboat.
Soon after sailing, the ship encountered the outrageous British fleet.
"Warning this is China's territorial waters, please change course immediately." The protest was sent to the British fleet by General Electric Code. The pilot also turned on the radio and shouted to the other party in plain English. And at the same time, the first ship also played a slogan to make the other side back.
"God, these Chinese actually want us to take a step back ?? Tell them, Chiang Kai-shek doesn't even say that their ridiculous territorial sea will not even be three seas. This is the high seas, and we have the right to sail." The anxiety spoiled the order and replied. "The former main gun was ordered to be ready for shelling. Damn, for the yellow-skinned monkey, we have to be tough and tough. The army is waste, which does not mean that the great Royal Navy will also be afraid of the Chinese."
The British's fleet did not turn, but instead traveled high, which was also planned. How could the Royal Navy, who had been outrageous for hundreds of years, succumb to the southwest without a navy.
"Damn, they have such a big ship, it must be an American, no, maybe the Dutch sold it to them." Seeing the other destroyer, Edgar was still very uncomfortable despite the small displacement, The Chinese actually have a decent warship, shouldn't they find an excuse to sink it? Stifle their navy in the cradle.
Major Edgar has been hesitating, is he crazy?
On the 1st ship, Chen Jitang was dissatisfied when he saw that the British warship was so arrogant. "Dinguo, what should we do?"
Huo Dingguo smiled. "The British are quite accustomed. Although they cannot sink them now, they can humiliate them severely and wait for a good show."
Ge Yunsheng then ordered a ship to withdraw slowly to monitor the British fleet.
"The Chinese are indeed guts, huh, do they want to rely on their air force to deal with us. Order the air defense groups, pay attention to air defense." Major General Edgar is not worried about the small number of Chinese aircraft, in his view, the southwest is too large As for that plane, the entire Leizhou Peninsula will not be divided into a few. The Royal Navy's three-ship fleet, with the cruiser as its flagship, was enough to deal with them.
On the other side, when Chen Ce finally saw the landing fleet coming from the direction of the Leizhou Peninsula opposite him, the whole person was stagnant, and he could see very clearly in the telescope. The other party was actually a 2-3 ton warship.
At this time, he believed what his nephew Chen Liren said. Whoever said that there was no navy in the southwest, this warship alone could send the entire gunboat formation to the sea floor.
"Liren, this is your warship in the Southwest Navy?" Chen Ce asked his nephew aside, and Deng Wenyi frowned. The shelling plan in the original plan seemed to be delayed.
"Uncle, you'll know when you wait and see." Although he didn't know the specific action plan, when he saw that the landing fleet stopped slowly on the opposite side, he predicted what was going to happen.
The opposing landing fleet also showed up with this gunboat formation. The 3 ships immediately maneuvered and were ready for battle, however, they did not fire.
Just when the two sides were deadlocked and Chen Ce did not know what would happen next, the entire sea area suddenly boiled.
In the distance at the Tianshui junction, a huge warship gradually exposed the superstructure, and then, even without a telescope, you could see the entire warship. It was too big. Compared to these gunboats, transport ships, and even destroyers, then The big ship made everyone dry.
"It's Kunming"
Sudden cheers burst out on the 3rd ship, and the captain of the 3rd ship shouted with excitement in the communication broadcast: "Attention of all departments, attention of all departments, the first aircraft carrier Kunming in our southwest is three miles away. . Comrades, we Chinese aircraft carriers. "
The 3 ship is not in the aircraft carrier convoy because of its organization. It is new to the Kunming.
When the entire aircraft carrier formation was displayed in front of everyone, it became apparent that a large aircraft carrier was surrounded by five and some warships. Only the captains of the three ships fully recognized the models of these warships. The naval surface power that has been exhibited throughout the Southwest for many years is almost completely included in this aircraft carrier special mixed combat group.
In the original special fleet construction, the aircraft carrier Kunming and the aircraft carrier Chengdu were flagships. In addition, there were two Chongqing-class cruisers, three Guilin-class destroyers, and two supply ships.
Today, this fleet has only one aircraft carrier and several frigates. Another aircraft carrier Chengdu was not seen.
If you count the remaining four Kunming-class destroyers, Southwest has a total of two aircraft carriers, two light cruisers, three new destroyers, old Kunming-class destroyers, and a total of eleven large warships. This is the southwest dormancy. Years of full naval power.
Although, one of the two aircraft carriers was an American flat-top ship modification, although the two Chongqing-class cruisers had just been tested at the Navy-based groundwater in Horseshoe Bay a month ago. Although the construction technology of these destroyers has not yet reached the top standards in the West (the construction technology has failed to reach the design concept and the ship's firepower layout concept), although the Southwest has only built a total of four destroyers and two light cruisers in recent years, but This is the first time that the world has been broken.
This will also be the first formal announcement by the Chinese to the world: at the end of 1931, the Chinese once again had a naval force that was self-defeating.
The difficulties encountered during this period are beyond words. Starting from the first aircraft carrier, in the past five years, the degree of shipbuilding in the southwest can almost be described by a turtle. In order to save valuable funds and train skilled shipbuilders to the maximum, in order to maximize the level of shipbuilding, the southwest is in the early stage. After relying on the Jiangnan Shipyard to build two undressed warships, the construction of the Horseshoe Bay Naval Base was completed and the ship was built every two years. (The Jiangnan Shipyard was responsible for the construction of the supply ship and some undressed destroyers. The aircraft carrier Chengdu was converted by a flat-top ship purchased by the Philadelphia Shipyard in the United States.)
It seemed to show the power of the new navy to more Chinese people. The special task force headed by the Kunming adjusted the wind direction. In the eyes of everyone, a carrier-based aircraft jumped from the deck. Take off at an angle. After a circle in mid-air, the three carrier-based aircraft formed a formation. After taking off, the three formations flew to the British fleet.
"Not here to bomb us." Chen Ce only felt that his whole body was cold. The Southwest military hides it very well. Not only did it expand its economy, occupy the territory, expand the army, or even silently raise such a huge navy, even if it was more than Western powers are far behind, but in China, this is absolutely extraordinary.
Of course, he didn't understand how much Zhang Shusheng had invested to raise this navy. The navy is a bottomless pit. This is true.
"My guys, the Chinese are bluffing, nothing terrible."
Major General Edgar waved his hands and loudly inflated to the sailors on the deck. He had made up his mind to disrupt the Chinese sea crossing plan.
However, after a few minutes passed, Edgar could no longer roar so aggressively, but stared blankly at the west sky.
In the northwest sky, a large group of neat fighters are flying to this side. Although Edgar hadn't seen the fighter plane sinking the warship in person, he could already imagine the horror.
"Damn Chinese, where have they got so many planes ... It's not close to Leizhou Airport, they don't have time to mobilize so many planes ..."
Thirty fighter planes flew in the sky in ten batches, and they were aggressively killed towards the British three-ship formation.
"Ready to fire ... No, never fire. Correspondent, ask the other party's intentions ..."
However, Edgar didn't finish his words. The first batch of fighters had flown over the warship. Edgar only felt cold in his hands and feet. At such a close distance, he could even see that the Chinese fighter was opening the bomb magazine .
"Enemy attack"
When the airstrike alert rang through the waters, Edgar witnessed the huge bombs dropped by Chinese fighter jets. That kind of strange dive fighter can dive down from an angle that can suffocate the antiaircraft artillery shooter and drop a bomb on the warship, but it instantly falls on the deck and the superstructure of the warship.
He even regretted not firing the order, and now it is too late for anti-aircraft firing.
Like all sailors, Major General Edgar faced such a fighter formation's dive and bombardment. The first reaction was to lie on the ground and find a corner to hide.
The British Royal Marines, who had not experienced war for a long time, were at a loss, and some of the bile sailors even scared to cry. What an unprepared "air strike"
"Bang bang ..."
However, something shocking was born.
Just when most of the three warships were in hiding, the shells dropped by the Chinese fighter jets did not explode. Instead, they rolled onto the deck one by one, like an iron bullet rain.
Many people even think of the solid bombs that hit the British ships during the Manchurian Navy.
"Hahaha ... the Chinese dropped solid bullets." Many sailors began to laugh wildly, but some people were wrong, because the shells did not explode, but there were words on them, a line of eye-catching red English ~ www. EbookFREE.me ~ British, get out of Chinese territorial waters, Chinese territorial waters are not three nautical miles but thirty nautical miles. "
Edgar flushed with anger and almost didn't mention it. He understood that he was being played by the Chinese and that the entire Royal Navy was being played by the Chinese in an extremely absurd way.
However, the tragedy has not stopped, because the ship of the three-ship formation came with an emergency report, "Reporting General, Mediterranean destroyer Captain Nefer, was unfortunately hit by Chinese bombers and was killed on the spot."
"嘭"
Major Edgar couldn't help it anymore, and fell to the deck, completely fainted.
Shameful record that the Royal Navy Colonel was actually killed by the Chinese iron bomb
