What made the British officers and men even more frightened was that even the most vulnerable water reconnaissance planes in peacetime and tried to escape when they saw fighter planes now dared to set up machine guns and strafe at the ground troops, but they could not come up with any way to defend themselves -- the antiaircraft guns that were hard to find were either destroyed by bombers or by rapidly advancing tanks.

Finally, the Kandy Air Base deployed in the middle of Ceylon Island barely took off the remaining dozen planes after emergency repairs in the morning, using several abandoned muck runways, but these hurricanes and Spitfires were quickly overwhelmed by the Japanese Bf-219 several times larger, and at most, three pairs of Japanese fighters (6 planes) surrounded 1 Spitfire 8 group fights. This scene made Akamatsu Sadaaki, who was in command at the scene in the air, feel that he was invincible, and finally set the rules to train more young people, and the wingman who was newly commissioned by the pilot launched the attack.

But even so, the pilots of the Royal Air Force can't beat their opponents, these new carrier-based aircraft pilots are still graduates of the Devil Aviation School on Socotra Island, and the usual training opponents are all German air combat aces, and they meet these rookies of the Royal Air Force in the Far East, and then they add the BF-219 they fly to beat the Hurricane by a big cut, and they catch one by one, and they hit a disparity of 1:14 in less than half an hour.

In the afternoon, three British squadrons that took off from Tamil Nadu in southern India to reinforce finally added some changes to this one-sided battle, and under the desperate search of Admiral Charles, commander of the Southeast Asian Theater Air Force, 16 SBD dive bombers, 27 Hurricanes, and 9 Spitfires were finally gathered to support Ceylon.

Originally, Mountbatten's order was to attack the Japanese aircraft carriers at sea, but Charles knew that the enemy situation was unknown and the island of Ceylon was in danger, so if he reluctantly carried out Mountbatten's order, he was afraid that the Japanese aircraft carrier would not be found, and Ceylon Island would be lost first, so he changed the order to reinforce the ground forces in Ceylon.

The British pilots lost no time in shooting down two Ju-98 attack planes attacking ground targets, blowing up four German tanks that were rapidly advancing, and forcing a German panzergrenadier company to stop and find shelter with heavy aerial strafing, giving the fleeing British and Indian officers and men extremely valuable respite.

But that's the most they can do, in less than 20 minutes, the mobile fleet carrier-based aircraft that arrived at the wind rushed violently, 44 BF-219 and the British launched a desperate fight, and finally won the final victory with a large score of 9:44 by virtue of aircraft performance and pilot quality, destroying the last hope of the Ceylon defenders, and almost sweeping away the possible reinforcement of air power in southern India.

At first, when he heard that more than a dozen planes had been shot down in front of him, Ryunosuke Kusaka, who was supervising the battle on Shozuru, was a little nervous, but later he heard that the pilots had basically successfully parachuted, and he was relieved again: Now the transport fleet has a large number of planes, and the most important thing is to replenish the planes, as long as the pilots are fine, the mobile fleet will still be alive and full of blood tomorrow. By the end of the night, the nine pilots (groups) had successfully returned to the group, and only the remaining four were missing, and everyone was finally relieved -- the losses were far less than the pre-war estimates.

By the end of the evening, when the second landing attack wave (except for the artillery) had all landed, the scene of the Ceylon defenders was completely out of suspense, and the original hard battle had forced Sher to fight a scene of destroying the ancient and decaying, not only the two most important ports of Colombo and Trincomalee were occupied, but the port facilities that Horikichi was bent on keeping were also unharmed, only the Borg, which everyone was bent on capturing, brought some troubles - the sea valve was closed by the sailors, but the water that had poured into the cabin was not easy to handle, In the end, it was decided to unload the plane on the deck first, and leave the rest for the slow salvage.

In addition to the Borg, a large number of military supplies were also found on other merchant ships, from trucks, jeeps, gasoline to howitzers, rifles, shells, aircraft engines and other accessories, and even more than 20 brand-new Sherman tanks.

On June 25, the battle in the port area was over, and all the troops were pursuing in depth, and Kondo Nobutake and Horikichi led two parts of the artillery fleet into Colombo and Trincomalee respectively, and only Tsukahara 243 remained on high alert, temporarily letting the mobile fleet float in the open sea, so as not to suddenly see American reinforcements appear.

In the afternoon of the same day, the most outrageous thing happened in the whole battle of Ceylon, a regiment of British and Indian officers and soldiers was surrounded by a brigade of Japanese marines, and repeatedly shouted to them to surrender and did not listen, so they could only launch an attack, but just before the attack was launched, a company of German panzergrenadiers was also interspersed in place, and the company commander who led the team dissuaded the Japanese army and decided to send people to shout for them to surrender.

A jaw-dropping scene appeared: the Indian soldiers who refused to surrender just now raised their hands and threw away their weapons one by one to surrender, obediently like little lambs, and what made the Japanese army even more angry was that they turned a blind eye to the obviously larger number of Japanese troops, but one by one they went to the German troops, which were far less numerous, to surrender, until the German company commander gave the order before they reluctantly accepted the management of the Japanese army.

The confidential staff officer, who witnessed the whole scene, reported the incident to the fleet command that night.

Cao Lu Yi also felt strange, and asked the person concerned: "Why are those Indians unwilling to surrender to our army?" And the Germans just go? ”

"This ......" led the team of Ikeda Shaoza Ai Ai, who seemed to have something unspeakable, held it for a long time, and finally squeezed out a sentence, "I also think it's strange, and then I caught the British and asked, he complained to me, he had long wanted to surrender, but those Indians under him said that we were not white enough, and we were not sure if we were the masters who could call the shots, so we refused to surrender!" ”

Cole next to him couldn't stand up with a smile when he heard this, and even the usually serious Scheer had a smile on his face.

"What?! Bastard! Bastard! Feeling insulted, the Japanese generals were about to go berserk, and they subconsciously thought that if the British felt that surrendering to the Germans would be a little more secure in terms of prisoner treatment, they could accept it, but it would be naked racism to decide whether to surrender by the color of their skin - or against the defeated Indian soldiers.

Seriously, few officers and men who have served in the Navy all year round are white, and the Marine Corps is even darker and shinier than ordinary sailors.

Cao Lu said angrily: "In the future, when you encounter this situation, don't talk nonsense, you will be shot!" ”

Horikichi himself couldn't help laughing, but he still dissuaded his chief of staff: "Don't be impulsive, be lenient with the Indians, Ceylon will be the base camp of the Navy in the Indian Ocean in the future, who will do things for us if you kill all the people?" The Indians are superstitious about the truth of white skin and nobility, and the officers and soldiers sent to fight in India, especially the main officers, should choose tall and fair-skinned figures as much as possible! ”

Horikichi turned his head back to Cole: "During the Battle of Ceylon and the subsequent battles, we will have to trouble your army to come forward to capture prisoners, and we can guarantee them humane treatment." ”

"Okay, we've got it."

Due to the time difference, Nimitz received the news on the morning of the 25th, and he frowned as soon as he read the telegram: "The Japanese army is attacking Ceylon? Have we been deceived? Those transport ships are actually not supplies but troops? And there are still Germans? ”

"On June 25, the battle in the port area was all over, and all the troops were pursuing in depth, Kondo Nobutake and Horikichi led two parts of the artillery fleet into Colombo and Trincomalee respectively, and only Tsukahara 243 remained on high alert, temporarily letting the mobile fleet float in the open sea, so as not to suddenly see American reinforcements pop up.
