In the second half of the night, when the sky was full of stars, Yangon Airport was brightly lit and the surrounding area was brightly lit, but fortunately the surrounding residents had already been relocated, otherwise I don't know how many people would not have been able to sleep all night.

"Overhauled, all bombers are ready!"

"Radio check complete, all normal!"

"Aerial bomb reloaded!"

"The main fuel tank and auxiliary fuel tank have been filled!"

"All three runways have been inspected!"

After a busy night of ground crew, they were finally all ready, and an officer came to General Du Ligao, who was sitting in the tower command, and reported: "Report to the general, everything is ready, and now all 30 heavy bombers can take off!" “

"Good!" Du Ligao raised the watch on his wrist and saw that the hour hand was pointing to 4:35, and asked the telecommunications staff officer standing beside him: "Where is the aircraft carrier formation under the command of General Zheng Dingbang now?" ”

The telecommunications staff officer replied: "Report to the general, according to the telegram twenty minutes ago, there are now strong winds and waves in the Indian Ocean, and it will be five hours before the aircraft carrier formation enters the predetermined position, which is nearly four hours later than planned!" ”

Originally, at the strategic meeting, it was decided that the navy and air force would act alone, and the air force would bomb the British Indian Ocean Fleet, and the navy would plunge directly into the Red Sea to threaten the Suez Canal, but Hu Zhen felt that the forces were too scattered and inappropriate, so he ordered the battle plan to be revised, requiring that after concentrating forces to annihilate the British Indian Ocean Fleet, the aircraft carrier formation would go all out to move westward.

According to the emperor's order, the navy and air force jointly developed an operational plan to take off separately and at the same time rush to the port of Mumbai to bomb the Indian Ocean fleet.

According to the battle plan, the Air Force heavy bombers at the Yangon airport took off at five o'clock, and the aircraft carrier formation was to take off the bombers three hours later, and at the same time rush to the Bombay airport to deal a devastating blow to the Indian Ocean Fleet.

However, judging from the current position of the aircraft carrier formation, no matter how fast it sails, it will be impossible for the bombers to take off and fight together as originally planned.

"On the sea, unexpected things can happen at any time, and the navy is not easy!" Du Ligao sighed, raised his hand and waved it down, and gave an order to everyone: "Immediately contact the naval aircraft carrier formation and make another appointment for the combat time!" ”

At this time, in the Indian Ocean, on the dark sea, the wind set off huge waves.

The Chinese Navy's aircraft carrier formation in the wind and waves is crawling forward with difficulty.

An officer ran to report to Zheng Dingbang: "Report to General Zheng, the Air Force has sent a telegram asking when we can get to the predetermined position?" If the battle plan is revised, please give us a definite time! “

After hearing this, Zheng Dingbang looked back and forth twice on the nautical chart and said: "Four hours, this is a big distance, if we postpone the plan by four hours, it will be noon, and the air force will have to land at night when it flies back to Yangon Airport, with current technology, landing at the airport at night is a big adventure!" No, a four-hour postponement certainly won't work! ”

According to the existing technology, the Air Force's heavy bombers will only stay in the air for nine hours even after they are equipped with auxiliary fuel tanks, and the original plan was that the Air Force would take off at five o'clock, use four hours of time, fly to Mumbai at nine o'clock, bombard the enemy fleet with one hour of combat time, and then fly on the return journey at about 10 o'clock and fly back to the Yangon airport to land at about 14 o'clock at noon.

But if the take-off is delayed by four hours, the time to return to the Yangon airport may be after 18 o'clock, and if there is any more accident, the Air Force heavy bombers may suffer heavy losses if they are forced to land without sufficient technology to support the landing at night.

The entire Chinese Empire only had these thirty bombers, but they were produced under the personal guidance of the emperor, and they were the flesh of the emperor's heart.

Zheng Dingbang hoped that the wind and waves outside would stop immediately, so that he could speed up towards his destination.

But at this moment, the dark and dreary ocean outside was stormy, and there was no sign of stopping.

There was silence in the command cabin for a while, and Lin Moguang, deputy commander of the aircraft carrier formation, suggested: "Chief Zheng, our air force can take off three hours later, and when it sets sail for the return journey after striking the enemy fleet, the planes of our aircraft carrier have just arrived to carry out relay bombing against the enemy!" In this way, the Air Force has an extra hour to deal with accidents on the way. “

Although it is not the air force and navy that concentrate their forces to attack the enemy at the same time, the "refueling tactic" used in this helpless situation can also ensure the safety of the air force's heavy bombers.

Zheng Dingbang pondered for a while and said, "Okay, just follow this method and reply to General Du of the Air Force!" “

When everyone in the command cabin was busy, Zheng Dingbang sighed in his heart: If only the wind and waves had subsided earlier, at least one or two more hours could be gained!

However, the wind and waves are not transferred by human will, and Zheng Dingbang can only continue to wait.

Emperor Hu Zhen, who was far away in the capital, received news from the navy and the army, and immediately replied to the telegram saying that he agreed with the plan proposed by the navy to carry out a continuous attack on the Indian Ocean fleet.

After receiving the telegram, Du Ligao did not hesitate to order thirty heavy bombers to take off at eight o'clock.

This day is destined to be another day that shocks the world

When the sun rises, it's seven forty o'clock.

"Report to General Du, according to the telegram sent back by the fourteen intelligence stations of the Ministry of Intelligence in India, the route we are about to fly through now has a good climate and is completely suitable for the flight of our army's heavy bombers!"

In order to destroy the British Indian Ocean Fleet in this joint raid by the Air Force and Navy, the Ministry of Intelligence has spent a lot of money, in addition to sending intelligence officers composed of local Indian people to closely monitor the Indian Ocean Fleet in the port of Mumbai, it has also used 14 intelligence stations throughout India to provide climate observation information for heavy bombers.

After listening to the weather intelligence along the way of the raid, Du Ligao judged that today's weather was completely suitable for the heavy bombers to launch a surprise attack, so he decisively ordered: "Order the flight crew to board the plane and start the aircraft engine!" “

There was a bang, and a green flare flew into the air.

The flight crews walked to the tarmac in a neat queue, walked separately to their bombers, pulled on the glass hatches, fastened their seat belts, and the pilots started the engines.

Thirty bombers, four engines, a total of 120 engines, let out a deafening roar, and the propellers rolled up huge air currents and swept across the airport like a storm.

The communicator at the tower received a voice from Senior Colonel Yin Tianxiang, commander of the heavy bomber division: "The heavy bomber division is all ready, please take off early!" ”

It is clear that the crews of the heavy bombers, who have been waiting all night and have to delay their takeoff, have long held their breath, and now they are asking for an early takeoff, even if it is a minute early.

"Hmph, these guys, they can't wait!" Du Ligao raised his wrist and saw that the time was exactly 7:45, and he was about to reject Yin Tianxiang's request, when suddenly an officer came in a hurry, saying that he had just received a telegram from the navy, saying that the wind and waves on the sea had become smaller, and the speed of the aircraft carrier had been greatly accelerated, and at least 20 minutes could be reduced to the predetermined place to release the planes on the ship.

Du Ligao no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered: "Agree to take off, agree to take off!"

After receiving the order, the pilot of the first heavy bomber on the airfield pushed the gear lever sharply, and the plane slowly left the stand and walked onto the runway, getting faster and faster, quickly reaching the speed of take-off, and the nose was raised and flew into the sky.

When the first heavy bomber left the ground, the ground crew at the airport erupted in a tsunami-like cheer.

Then the second, the third, the fourth...... Thirty heavy bombers took off one after another, formed a formation in the sky, flew westward, and slowly disappeared from people's sight.

Du Ligao looked at a group of black spots in the distance and said in his heart: "The heavy bombers have already taken off, it's up to them." God bless China, let us win! ”

At this time, everyone in the bomber group was the first time to carry out such a large distance bombing, and everyone was very excited.

"Attention of all crews, attention of all crews, maintain a strict formation flight in accordance with the usual training, and pay attention to searching the airspace through which they fly, and take measures immediately once they find abnormalities!"

In fact, Yin Tianxiang's words are a bit redundant, this British airship over the Indian continent, with its snail-like speed, it is impossible to threaten the safety of the heavy bomber fleet, but as the commander of the heavy bomber team, he must maintain a cautious attitude to ensure the completion of the bombing mission.

At this time, the wind and waves in the Indian Ocean had subsided, and Zheng Dingbang ordered the aircraft carrier formation and the covering battleship formation to advance at the maximum speed to the predetermined position to release bombers and torpedo planes, and follow behind the heavy bomber fleet to strike at the enemy's fleet.

After an hour's flight, the heavy bomber convoy flying over the sea finally saw the outline of the Indian continent in front of it.

Yin Tianxiang calmly ordered: "Attention of all crews, prepare to drop propaganda leaflets over the Indian cities that you fly!" ”

It turned out that this time to bomb the Indian Ocean Fleet, each aircraft of the heavy bomber fleet of the Huaxia Army could carry four 250-kilogram bombs, but this mission carried only two bombs, and the position where the two bombs were used carried 500-kilogram propaganda leaflets. Because in total only sixty bombs entered the battle, which is why the heavy bomber fleet had to wait until the planes on the naval aircraft carriers acted together.

The leaflet was written in Chinese, ancient Indian Sanskrit, and English to publicize the great victory of the Chinese Empire in the battle with the European Combined Fleet, and to encourage the Indian people to rise up against the tyranny of British colonial rule, win the independence of their own nation-state, and decide the fate of their own nation.

The huge rumble of the heavy bomber fleet greatly shocked the people on the Indian continent.

These Indians do not know what kind of myth the plane flying in the sky is, and in this rich religion of India, most people believe that it is some kind of revelation from the heavens.

During the flight of the heavy bomber fleet from east to west, countless Indian people worshipped the "artifact" in the air, and both men, women and children knelt down and prayed to the sky to forgive their sins, and they would promise to do everything in the world according to God's will.

However, the "artifact" that can make a loud roar in the air unexpectedly threw down countless leaflets and papers.

"Huaxia Empire!? Is there such an artifact in the world? ”

"Why can humans fly in the sky?"

"No, no, this must be God's revelation to us, let us learn from the Chinese Empire and rise up against the tyranny of the English!"

This soon planted the seeds of revolt in the hearts of the Indian people.

But everyone doesn't know that when Hu Zhen mobilized the Indian people to rebel against the tyranny of British colonial rule, he also secretly laid a nail: to split India, no matter what, India cannot be made a whole, lest it become a regional power in the future and threaten the super power of the Chinese Empire!

Hu Zhen directly asked the imperial propagandists to indicate in the leaflet that the Chinese Empire supported each independent tribe in India to become an independent state, each caste to become a state, or simply to form a nation of people with different dialects within each tribe.

In terms of religious beliefs, Hinduism is encouraged to form a Hindu country, a green religion to form a green country, and Buddhism to form a Buddhist country.

If the tribes on the Indian continent were to form a country according to Hu Zhen's proposal, there would be at least one or two hundred small countries.

One or two hundred countries are fighting each other every day after independence, which is what Hu Zhen is most willing to see, so that no one can do without the Chinese Empire, and even the Chinese Empire can make a lot of money by dumping old arms.

Of course, Hu Zhen will not openly express his intentions to the whole world, but asks the mysterious strategic flicker bureau to do this in secret, to ensure that even if India breaks away from British colonial rule, it will not become one or two big countries, and must be divided into more than six or seven small and medium-sized countries.

However, the officers and men of the heavy bomber team did not know Hu Zhen's thoughts, but they only felt that their 30 planes carrying only 60 bombs were too little, but it was an order issued by the emperor himself, and they had to obey it.

Along the way, from east to west, the heavy bomber fleet dropped 15,000 kilograms of 30 million leaflets on densely populated areas of India.

Although the army and police of the English colonies frantically confiscated the leaflets and paid for them from the illiterate Indians, this had a great impact on the Indian people, and it did not take long for the news to spread throughout India.

The leaflets dropped by thirty heavy bombers on the Indians were far more devastating than the sixty bombs dropped on the British Indian Ocean Fleet.

The telegraph man in charge of receiving the telegram reported to Yin Tianxiang: "Division commander, the intelligence officer of the port of Mumbai sent a wireless telegram saying that the Indian Ocean Fleet is still hiding in the port this morning!" ”

"Haha, this is really great, God help me!"

After Yin Tianxiang heard this information, he couldn't help laughing.

At this moment, the fleet is not far from the port of Mumbai, even if the British colonial authorities discover the heavy bomber fleet and see the propaganda leaflets that keep flying down from all over the world, and still think that these planes are just here to drop propaganda leaflets, as long as the 60 bombs in the hands of their own fleet sink a few capital ships in the Indian Ocean, it means that the Indian Ocean Fleet, which has 30 or 40 large and small ships, has lost its combat effectiveness, which is basically equivalent to being crippled, and as for the aircraft carrier fleet, it is just the icing on the cake. And the heavy bomber team made the first contribution in this battle. (To be continued.) )
