"Damn it, where did they come up with so many fighters? Reconnaissance planes and intelligence services are all-eating? ”

In the command headquarters of the "Zhongshan" aircraft carrier, Jiang Haoran roared like thunder, and in the battle just now, he lost nearly 40 fighters and bombers.

Yang Honglie replied curtly: "I have just carefully asked the pilots who participated in the battle, and the ratio of the enemy's army aircraft to carrier-based aircraft is one to one, and if it is not the Sixth Flying Regiment of the Island Army, then it is only possible that the Fifth Flying Regiment of Bangkok has entered the islands near Singapore at this moment. ”

Jiang Haoran stopped walking, looked at Yang Honglie and said, "Do you suspect that the island army has a secret airfield nearby?" ”

Yang Honglie said: "I can't explain anything else, I see that this secret airport is on the Riau Islands, and the Fifth Flying Regiment of the Island Army has supported Penang a few days ago, but it has hardly exchanged fire with us head-on, and it is estimated that it is a disguise, and they have landed directly on an island in Riau." ”

Jiang Haoran seemed to be a little moved, picked up a ruler and measured it on the map, his expression suddenly became solemn, and said: "This illusion is very constructive, we only focus on the distance of the fifth flight group from Bangkok to Singapore for more than 1,000 kilometers, but ignore that they may have an advance airport, as long as they make a change, they can enter the Riau Islands and even the Dutch East Indies, right...... It must be so. ”

"General seat, as long as we know their existence, we are moving forward at full speed, and we can even advance to within a hundred nautical miles from Singapore, and the superior firepower of our carrier-based aircraft can be brought into full play, even if the island army doubles its air force, we are not afraid of them, and we will definitely beat them all over the ground in the next battle."

Jiang Haoran nodded, and cast an approving look at Yang Honglie, he liked this kind of character who would take revenge immediately.

Just then, a staff officer came in to report that submarine No. 105 had just been patrolling ahead when it was torpedoed and sunk by a little devil.

The two glanced at each other, their expressions were already a little strange, and they walked out of the office in unison, quickly entered the war room, and looked at the combat sand table.

Judging from the sand table, the No. 105 ship is at least more than 300 nautical miles away from Singapore, and the submarine of the little devil actually touched their hinterland, and it is certain that there is definitely more than one.

"Anti-submarine aircraft were immediately dispatched, so the forward submarines expanded their search area, found them, and killed them."

Jiang Haoran commanded in a cruel voice, and there was already a trace of imperceptible melancholy between his eyebrows.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the bad news came, a large number of mines had been found in the sea area ahead, and there were countless submarines under the water, and the possibility of the aircraft carrier fleet continuing to move forward in a short time was almost lost.

A mine is an explosive weapon laid in water, which can be detonated by the mechanical collision of a ship or by the action of other non-contact factors such as magnetism, noise, water pressure, etc.

Mines are inexpensive in cost, but they have great destructive power, and they are loaded with a lot of explosives and have great combat power. A single large mine can sink a medium-sized warship or damage a large warship.

At the same time, its concealment is also excellent, especially the submerged mines are laid on the bottom of the sea, which is difficult to detect and detect, and can also pose a threat to the enemy for a long time, some even for several decades. It is also easy to lay out, and the navy's surface ships, submarines, and aviation can be used to lay mines, and even merchant ships and fishing vessels can do the job.

It is precisely because of these favorable conveniences that the island army has covered the entire strait with mines overnight, and the narrowest part of the Malacca Strait is only more than 30 kilometers, and the island army can blockade it without much effort.

Because the Penang landing campaign ended not long ago, the landing force also needed naval artillery fire support, and at the same time, Jiang Haoran did not want to alarm the island army in advance, so the position of the fleet was relatively backward, and the East India fleet had just withdrawn from the front, Jiang Haoran did not expect the island army to come to this hand, and now, he was completely dumbfounded with all his wisdom.

The distance of more than 500 kilometers is already beyond the optimal combat radius of carrier-based aircraft, and the fact that the fleet cannot continue to move forward means that the aviation firepower has been greatly reduced, adding uncertainties to the struggle for air supremacy over Singapore.

The most important thing is that the inability to provide strong artillery support to the army attacking Singapore will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of capturing Singapore.

Judging from the current situation, it is no longer suitable for the Chinese army to attack, and the best way is to cut off Singapore's water supply and besiege Singapore.

But in this way, it means that we can only watch the island army empty the whole of Singapore, and let tens of thousands of island troops fly away.

But this is not in line with Jiang Haoran's character.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, on the road in Johor Bahru, Malaya, Yao Menglin, the captain of the Langya Special Combat Team, and Zhu Yuanjin, the commander of the Third Marine Division, were riding bicycles and walking side by side.

"Report to the division, Commander-in-Chief Dai is in an emergency!"

"Report to the captain, Commander-in-Chief Dai is in an emergency!"

Two telegraph men came shouting on their bicycles.

Yao Menglin and Zhu Yuanjin braked together and landed on one foot. The signal corps reported, and the command ordered, to pursue with all possible force and kill the enemy in front.

"Hahaha!" Yao Menglin looked up to the sky and laughed, and then shouted: "Brothers, it's time to hunt, kill him!" ”

"Yes, Captain!" Dozens of sons and daughters nearby suddenly agreed, and the herald immediately took out his walkie-talkie and conveyed Yao Menglin's order to every squad and platoon.

The speed of the team increased suddenly, and the soldiers in the jungle quickly rode out and into the road, and the originally sparse team immediately converged into a thick grass-green army, rolling forward.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I'll eat meat first!"

Yao Menglin smiled shamelessly at Zhu Jinyuan, the terrain is limited, and it is impossible for the troops to spread out, and the wolf's tooth special combat team is naturally the vanguard that cannot be discarded.

"Look at your villain's will, get out of here, don't fight to the death, I'm right behind you."

"I can't beat it? Wait and see, I'm going to turn your Marines into corpse collectors. Yao Menglin said and walked away on his bicycle.

"Eh...... Will you kid do you have ground-air coordination, don't spoil Lao Tzu's tanks and helicopters? ”

Zhu Yuanjin yelled at Yao Menglin's back, but the people had already walked away, and the noisy bicycle team made his voice seem very weak, and it was really two words whether Yao Menglin could hear it.

Tanks and helicopters are currently in charge of the front road opening and sweeping tasks, of course, they can only be temporarily handed over to Yao Menglin's command.

Zhu Yuanjin shook his head helplessly, and then turned around and shouted: "Herald, pass my order......"
