Chapter 1209: The First Encounter at Sea
At the same time that the Americans' submarine inflicted heavy damage on the devil aircraft carrier, the Americans also encountered an attack by the devil's submarine group!
The devils dispatched a full twenty submarines this time, how could they not make good use of it, in fact, they have been around the fleet all the time, and as soon as the battle started, they had already quietly lurked past, and just when the American fleet was on guard against the devil's planes, these submarines appeared!
Their appearance was so sudden, and so unexpected!
And the timing chosen is also the time when the American fleet gathers to fight against the aircraft!
As soon as these submarines appeared, there was almost no moment's hesitation, and the torpedoes had already been launched!
By the time the fish were discovered, it was too late......
Boom Boom!
After a series of explosions, even one destroyer was directly silent, and one cruiser was also extremely damaged!
Once seriously injured, then there are only two fates that await them, either they are captured by the devils or they are sunk by the devils!
This battle was not an equal battle from the beginning, the number of devil fleets exceeded the Americans, and there was the support of aircraft carriers, but the Americans?
There are no two carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier, what else is there to fight?
Without hesitation, the commander-in-chief of the American fleet gave the order to retreat!
Because at this time, they have also completed the task of covering, and the aircraft carrier is already far away from the battlefield!
Whether it is depth charges or mines, they are constantly thrown into the sea by the Americans at this moment, and they are retreating while throwing these things into the sea, in order to be able to stop the pursuers of the devils!
Besides, the devil really can't help these things!
When two submarines were destroyed by touching depth charges, and a destroyer was half-blown up by rushing into a mine swarm, the devil had no choice but to take a detour.
However, this circumambulation, I am afraid that it will be difficult to catch up with the American fleet!
After all, people are now desperate to escape, and in the vast sea, once there is no trace on the radar, how can it be so simple to find it?
This battle was not much of a naval battle, although there were losses on both sides, but after all, from the very beginning the American fleet thought about retreat and not fighting.
But this battle also represents the official start of the naval war between the Americans and the devils in the Pacific!
When the news came back, no one would pay attention to the embarrassment of the fleet, their focus was on the successful bombing of the devil's homeland by bombers!
This has made many Americans angry!
And at the same time, the Pacific Fleet of the Americans began to set off in search of the Navy of the devils!
Of course, it will inevitably be accompanied by transport ships, after all, the capture of those important islands is even more meaningful!
If the fleet needs to move, then it must need a supply port, so the battle for the island is also very important!
Not many people know about this naval battle in the Pacific Ocean, at least, Huaxia will not pay attention to this at all!
At this time, Lao Jiang and Yan Laoxi, and even many warlords were most concerned about resources!
Whether it's steel, aluminum, or even rubber gunpowder, that's what they're most concerned about right now.
After all, Chen Qingzhi gave them all kinds of production lines, and as long as they had the resources, they could only directly produce tanks, airplanes, or rifles.
But only if they get the resources!
Although Chen Qingzhi has opened a lot of factories, even factories that have formed an industrial chain, it is not said that it can be built after completion.
Then now, Lao Jiang and they must need to get resources from other places!
Robbing the devil is undoubtedly the best choice.
Who told the devil to block Huaxia's foreign aid routes, and who is it who doesn't rob them now?
But in China, the devils also have a lot of industries in the Northeast and North Korea, and it is obvious that the North China battlefield has not yet been fought, and it is obviously impossible to obtain those industries.
Therefore, Lao Jiang's eyes focused on the expeditionary force.
The expeditionary force went abroad to fight, firstly, at the invitation of Britain and the United States, and secondly, it was also to open up the foreign aid route for China.
But now there is an additional mission, which is to snatch resources from the devils!
Nanyang generation, not to mention the rest, there is still a lot of rubber, but there are almost no rubber production parks in China, rubber is a necessary thing for the production of wheels, so naturally will not let go!
Besides, the devils set up a lot of factories in the South Seas, and these factories plundered resources from the South Seas and then transported them back to China.
Although speaking of which, in fact, there are not many factories opened by devils in Nanyang.
But for Lao Jiang, that is also a lot of resources.
Therefore, after the expeditionary force entered the South Seas, the first task it received was to take the initiative to attack a base of devils!
Here, there are a lot of resources that the devils have not had time to transport away, and once they get it, then Lao Jiang will be able to produce a large number of weapons immediately.
These resources are mainly rubber, minerals!
Of course, in order to achieve this goal, the first thing that the expeditionary force must break is the blockade of the devils.
In fact, don't look at the expeditionary force with the help of the British, it has landed, and some of them have been redressed, but in fact they are still surrounded by devils.
The Nanyang battlefield is no better than the Chinese battlefield!
Here, the most is dense forest, so it is also destined that this battle will not be so easy to fight!
The three divisions that received the order to complete their equipment were the first to be pulled, and their goal was to take down an airfield and two bases in Nanyang for the devils!
As long as you take here, then it is equivalent to opening up the situation and breaking the blockade of the devils!
"You have also seen the order, our three divisions are the only ones who have completed the refitting now, so this task can only be done by the three of us, one airport, two bases, just right, one of our divisions, come on, one person chooses a target!"
The division commanders of the three reorganized divisions gathered together and discussed casually.
Because the plan of action of the expeditionary force is to first reach the place designated by the British by air or ground march from the country, and then receive the equipment of the British, and conduct simple training to familiarize themselves with the new equipment, so this also leads to the fact that the troops are not too concentrated!
After all, the devils have choked the British enough, and their bases are also one in the east and one in the west, and they can't be concentrated together at all.
The three divisions were already considered extremely lucky, as soon as they arrived, they were able to receive equipment and immediately put into training, and the rest of the troops were either waiting for equipment or on their way to other British bases.
"Lao Chen, don't say it, my hands are itchy now, I get so many good things, if I don't have a good fight with the devil, how can I be worthy of so many good things!"
