Thirty heavy bombers from the Yangon airfield in Miandian were taken off by the Chinese Empire and crossed the ocean into the British Indian colony, the British colonial authorities immediately received this startling news. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the authorities of the British Indian colonies did not have a complete air defense system at all, let alone any experience in air defense, and this mysterious aerial vehicle came, just watching the plane fly in the sky, and did not even know how to inform the plane of the direction of the advance in advance.

As a matter of fact, the world's largest and most powerful country did not have any means of air defense, and after the plane, it took off a few airships as if it were in order.

These airships are no match for aircraft in terms of flight altitude or flight speed, even if they have reached the flight altitude and speed, they are not at all opponents of the Huaxia Army in terms of weapon systems and combat experience, or they can only watch others fly overhead and let countless propaganda leaflets float down overhead.

It was a long time before the nimble English officials remembered to collect and destroy these leaflets that would affect British colonial rule.

However, the people of the Chinese Imperial Strategic Fool Bureau had already thought of this problem, and a considerable part of the propaganda leaflets were hung under the balloons, and after they were emitted from a height of several thousand meters, they were blown by the wind, and the area of the fall was extremely wide, and some drifted to a place of five or six hundred kilometers.

As a result, the colonial authorities did not know how many leaflets were distributed by the Chinese army, nor did they know where the leaflets were placed, so they were exhausted by these papers, and it took more than half a month to recover half of the 30 million leaflets, which was the first shot for the collapse of India's colonial rule.

However, after dropping the leaflets, the 30 heavy bombers of the Huaxia Army did not care about other things, but used the simple navigation system to navigate, flew over the Indian continent more than 1,600 kilometers, and smoothly entered the airspace over the port of Mumbai.

The intelligence officers of the Chinese Empire had long drawn a detailed map of the port of Mumbai, and all the crews of the heavy bomber fleet knew it by heart, and as soon as they entered the airspace near the port of Mumbai, they immediately began to descend in altitude.

Yin Tianxiang had been using a high-powered telescope to watch, and at this time, he noticed an unfortunate situation: dozens of tall plumes of smoke rose near the harbor and were rushing towards the open sea.

It is clear that the English were still somewhat alarmed by the arrival of the heavy bomber fleet, and now the Indian Ocean Fleet is fleeing from the narrow port area!

"All crews immediately follow the predetermined plan, use the No. 4 scheme, throw off the auxiliary fuel tanks, and immediately enter to bomb the enemy fleet!"

In order to annihilate the Indian Ocean Fleet, the Air Force gathered a group of excellent officers, analyzed various situations, and developed a number of detailed countermeasures.

In the event of the Indian Ocean Fleet fleeing from the port, there is, of course, a plan for coping with it.

At the same time as descending in altitude, the heavy bomber fleet immediately divided into two groups: a group of eighteen aircraft, with their backs to the sun, went straight to the enemy ships; A squad of twelve, circling in the air for a moment, followed as a reserve.

The heavy bomber could have carried eight 250-kilogram aerial bombs, but with the extended range of the drop fuel tank, it could only carry four 250-kilogram bombs, and after carrying 500-kilogram leaflets, it could only carry two bombs.

This is a bad thing, but after throwing leaflets and drop tanks, it turns out to be a good thing.

When the heavy bomber with a heavy body lowered its altitude at this moment and dived down, the pilot obviously felt that it was much easier to maneuver.

"Oh my God, this is the devil's flying bombing machine!"

Since the First World War in the South China Sea, the world's armies have been shocked by the air fleet of the Chinese Empire, and they have all been frantically obtaining and studying the advanced military scientific and technological intelligence of the Chinese Army.

Although the Huaxia Army maintains a strict secrecy system, it cannot keep any advanced weapons secret as soon as they appear on the battlefield.

Therefore, the British army still learned some secrets of the Chinese Army's air fleet, and the warships of the Indian Ocean Fleet installed more anti-aircraft machine guns, small-caliber rapid-fire guns, and other air defense weapons, and also prepared some targeted preventive measures, and conducted some exercises, one of which was that when they saw the planes of the Chinese Army, they must evacuate the formation, leave the narrow port, and evade the bombs falling in the vast sea to evade the bombs falling from the air.

The heavy bomber fleet of the Huaxia Army marched all the way west, and the Indian colonial authorities pondered for a long time before finally figuring out that the final target might be the Indian Ocean Fleet, and only when the heavy bomber fleet was approaching the port of Mumbai did they hurriedly send a telegram to inform the Indian Ocean Fleet.

Vice Admiral Sanders, commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, was taken aback when he received the telegram and hurriedly ordered all the warships of the fleet to immediately start the steam engines and rush out of the open sea outside the harbor to evacuate and avoid the bombing.

But most of the ships of the Indian Ocean Fleet had just been launched, and the rumbling of the heavy bomber fleet had already appeared in the sky over the port of Mumbai.

As soon as the black-pressed aircraft formation appeared, it caused great fear and panic among the officers and men of the Indian Ocean Fleet, who had never seen an airplane before.

"Run, don't talk about any formation, whoever can run first will run out of the port first!"

A 350-ton destroyer, which was speeding up to a maximum of 23 knots, crashed headlong into a slow-moving logistics transport ship, causing a violent explosion of tons of explosives on the transport ship, blowing the destroyer and the transport ship into countless pieces.

All the battleship commanders were giving the middle finger to the captain of the destroyer, who had already been killed, and carefully bypassed the area of the big explosion and rushed out of the harbor.

At this time, there were also many explosions near the city of Mumbai, which were the auxiliary fuel tanks thrown by the heavy bomber fleet, and there was still a large amount of aviation gasoline left in them, and when they hit the ground, they caused a huge explosion, and the flames soared into the sky.

This did not cause much harm, but everyone thought that it was the heavy bomber fleet of the Huaxia Army that was bombing, causing great chaos in the city of Mumbai.

The police and troops rushed out to the blast site, while the locals, who did not know whether they liked to watch the excitement or panic, also rushed out into the streets, scurrying around like headless flies, blocking the way of the military and police.

The English commander of the colonial military police was furious and ordered anyone who stood in his way to be killed, and bullets swept through the civilian crowd in a torrential rain.

At this time, before the bombardment of the Huaxia army really began, there were many people killed in the city of Mumbai, the streets were stained with blood, and after the panicked crowd dispersed, only corpses were scattered all over the streets.

The city of Bombay was in chaos, but Senior Colonel Yin Tianxiang did not have time to pay attention to such idle matters at this time, and commanded the first group of eighteen bombers to pounce on the large warships of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

The fierce heavy bombers let out an astonishing and terrible roar when they dived, causing the officers and men of the Indian Ocean Fleet to tingle their scalps and move even more in a panic.

The first to be attacked was the Indian Ocean Fleet's flagship, the USS Liverpool, a 13,700-ton warship with a maximum speed of 17.5 knots, desperately evading, scurrying around like a fat pig to avoid the onrushing hornets.

With a speed of 32.41 kilometers per hour at 17.5 knots, the battleship could not escape the impact of bombers traveling at hundreds of kilometers per hour.

"Flying Shark One enters to attack the enemy's flagship!"

The captain of the Flying Shark One, Second Lieutenant Lin Mingde, pushed the gear lever suddenly, and the nose of the plane swooped towards the Liverpool two or three kilometers away, and the wingman Flying Shark 2 also followed up and covered behind the side.

The heavy machine guns and small-caliber rapid-fire guns on the Liverpool frantically fired bullets and shells into the air, and even the 305 mm, 203 mm, 152 mm and other large-caliber heavy guns raised their muzzles to fire shotguns in an attempt to stop the dive of the Flying Shark 1 and Flying Shark 2.

"Machine guns, heavy machine guns fire!"

The three 12.7 mm heavy machine guns and two 23 mm machine guns on the bombers could not suppress the powerful firepower on the battleship, but firing all of them at this time could also create a certain deterrent to the enemy, so that the enemy did not dare to stand on anti-aircraft machine guns and small-caliber rapid-fire guns without shields and fire into the air with impunity.

Flying Shark 1 and Flying Shark 2 dodged left and right in a hail of bullets, and finally forced into a distance suitable for bombing.

Lin Mingde looked at the Liverpool that was frantically evading, and a thought quickly flashed in his heart, and he gave an order: "Flying Shark 1 and Flying Shark 2, each with a ricochet attack!" ”

This so-called ricochet attack, of course, is based on the tactics of ricochet attack warships provided by Hu Zhen from later generations, and has been developed after countless training.

The bomb broke away from the hook in an instant, rushed forward with great inertia, and fell into the water sixty meters before the Liverpool, like a stone that has been hit by water, jumped several times on the surface of the sea, and smashed into the hull of the Liverpool.

"Circumvent, circumvent!"

Vice Admiral Sanders roared hoarsely, and many officers and men on the ship closed their eyes in fright, not daring to look at the terrible moment when the bomb was about to hit the hull, which made the blocking fire on the battleship suddenly stagnant.

Unfortunately, none of the bombs dropped by Flying Shark 1 and Flying Shark 2 hit the hull of the Liverpool, and only one bomb crossed the stern of the Liverpool and hit the amidships of a 4,000-ton unarmored cruiser, causing a violent explosion.

The power of the 250-kilogram bomb, equal to that of a 305-mm large-caliber heavy artillery shell, exploded and immediately sank the unarmored cruiser into two sections.

Taking advantage of the greatly weakened firepower on the Liverpool, Lin Mingde commanded the Flying Shark 1 and Flying Shark 2 to quickly rise and break away from the fire circle of the Liverpool, and asked Yin Tianxiang, the commander of the heavy bomber fleet, for instructions: "Flying Shark 1 requests to enter again to bomb the enemy's flagship!" ”

Yin Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, and asked through the communicator, "Do you still have bombs?" ”

"Both planes just dropped a bomb, and now they each have a bomb!"

Yin Tianxiang looked around, and saw that the Flying Shark No. 1 and Flying Shark No. 2 twin-plane formations were the closest to the enemy's flagship, and it was the shortest distance for them to attack again, so he agreed: "Okay, pay attention to the target this time!" ”

Under the command of Lin Mingde, Flying Shark 1 and Flying Shark 2 circled and flew back, diving towards the Liverpool again.

The Liverpool, which had just escaped death, was in a state of panic at the moment, and the two planes went back and forth, and went crazy again, spraying all the fire in the direction from which the planes were flying.

Several heavy machine gun bullets and shotguns hit the body of Flying Shark One, and several wooden ones burst into flames.

Flying Shark 2 was also shot in several parts.

Fortunately, neither aircraft was hit in the vital area, and it did not affect the subsequent high-intensity dive operation.

Lin Mingde ignored these circumstances, but guided the plane to the most appropriate distance before ordering: "Flying shark formation drops bombs to attack the enemy!" ”

After receiving the order, the bombardiers of Flying Shark 1 and Flying Shark 2 aimed at the target through the aerial bomb sight, and pressed the bomb drop button almost at the same time.

Both bombs detached from the hook at the same time and flew towards the target.

This time, the Flying Shark 1's bomb did not fall into the water, but hit the Liverpool's apostle.

The wingman Flying Shark II was a little farther away, and the bomb fell into the water thirty meters in front of the Liverpool's hull, jumped a few times, and hit the stern of the Liverpool fiercely.

The bomb dropped by Flying Shark 1 passed through the deck and deep into the hull bilge of the Liverpool before exploding inside.

From the outside, it was impossible to see the extent of the trauma, except to see a fire coming out of the deck, and then a jet of water from the hull of the ship rushed out of the deck.

The bomb dropped by the Flying Shark II exploded in the stern of the Liverpool, lifting the entire Liverpool two or three meters high, and its thrusters were blown to pieces in the explosion.

Hundreds of tons of seawater poured into the interior of the Liverpool, its bow slowly cocked, and the stern sank into the water little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yin Tianxiang could see clearly from a distance, and felt that it was better to cut off one of his fingers than to hurt his ten fingers, so he immediately ordered to transfer troops in the reserve team to mend the knife: "Whale No. 1, Whale No. 2, go up and kill the enemy's flagship!" ”

Whale 1 and Whale 2 immediately swooped down fiercely.

At this time, the Liverpool had completely lost power, but it still maintained a speed of about ten knots by inertia.

There was a great chaos on the deck, the heavy machine gunners and gunners all left their posts and ran around the deck in a hurry, while Vice Admiral Sanders and the captain were worried about whether they should give the order to abandon the ship and escape.

Only some unwilling people are still using scattered shots to block the dive of the two planes of the Huaxia Army, which cannot pose any major threat at all.

Taking advantage of this perfect opportunity, Whale 1 and Whale 2 swooped down to the distance where the bombs were dropped, dropping all four bombs in one go.

This time, all four bombs hit Liverpool's right side.

"Abandon the ship, abandon the ship immediately!"

Sanders finally gave the order to abandon the ship, but it was too late, and the four bombs exploded almost simultaneously, and the huge impact overturned the Liverpool on the sea, and hundreds of British soldiers were thrown into the sea like dumplings.
