The British fleet had two planes of the Ming Empire hovering overhead, which gave Balek? Admiral Lem caused a lot of pressure. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the one hand, he wants to lead the LinkedIn fleet to attack the ports of the Ming Empire to create an advantage for negotiations; On the other hand, it is necessary to ensure the safety of its own fleet.

After all, these warships are a valuable asset to Britain, and the loss of any one will cost the British Royal Navy part of its strength.

The British Naval Expeditionary Fleet had now paid a considerable price: the two battleships Reckless and Collingwood had been sunk, and the St. Vincent and the Giant had been seriously damaged.

This is already half of the strength of the British Navy's expeditionary fleet, and the remaining forces must be used carefully, otherwise it will really affect the strategic deployment of the British Navy.

Three new British battleships shelled incessantly on the outskirts of the South Island, and the rumbling of the guns made Balek? Admiral Lem fell into deep thought.

It turned out that his order was to put pressure on the coastal areas of the Ming Empire as much as possible, and then try not to make the Ming Empire too angry.

This requirement was originally completed at a time when the coastal cities of the Ming Empire had no room to fight back. In the current situation, it is for Balek? Lem was a little afraid to judge.

Although it did not stimulate the coastal areas of the Ming Empire, and did not force the Ming Empire to enter a state of crazy revenge, this was not caused by Balek? Admiral Lem controls what is done.

It is entirely because the Ming Empire still has the ability to counterattack along the coast that it has become what it is now. Balek? Lem knew that such an outcome was not what Britain wanted.

"Retreat!" After a few seconds of entanglement in his heart, a little powerless Balek? Admiral Lem finally made up his mind and led the fleet out of the waters near the South Island.

The shelling of Hong Kong is obviously unlikely, and when more Ming Empire planes arrive, the British Navy will not retreat calmly, but will be forced to flee.

In the sky, the two Air-Breaking Type 2 fighters of the Ming Empire were still using their cannons, constantly strafing the British ships on the water.

Zhou Yuxin piloted his plane, dived again and again, and then aimed at the battleship floating on the sea, and strafed the ammunition onto the deck of the battleship.

In any case, even if it's just on the enemy's deck, leave a row of holes. This is what Zhou Yuxin thinks in his mind, he wants to fight for his motherland and fight until the last moment.

The wingman pilot who followed Zhou Yuxin also poured out his ammunition, and he thought the same thing, using all the weapons he could find to inflict damage on the enemy.

Even if they can pluck only one of their enemies' hairs, they will try with all their might. This is their persistence, this is the persistence of the soldiers of the Ming Empire.

"Report! Local calls! "When the British fleet had begun to retreat, the telegram from the British mainland was also on the flagship battleship Liverpool at this time.

An officer went to Balek? Behind Admiral Lem, he stood up and saluted and handed the message to Balek? General Lem.

Balek? Lem took the telegram from the other party and looked at its contents—the news from the British mainland was similar to what he had in front of him.

"The mainland let us get out of the battle and stop the attack on the Ming Empire, because the diplomatic department is about to start negotiations with the Ming Empire." Balek? Lem closed the message and spoke to the officer behind him.

He was very depressed, and with the situation in front of him, the military victory or defeat no longer affected the overall situation at the negotiating table. Now the rest is left to the diplomats.

But the most direct reason for such an ending is that as soldiers of the British Empire, they did not fight well on the front line.

……

"Whew! It's really time for a ceasefire......" Leaning on the improvised pergola, Li Haoran squinted his eyes and looked at the plane parked on the field airfield in the distance.

The Lei Gong 1 dive bomber, now the battle record painted on the fuselage is so much that it looks a little dense.

In yesterday's and today's battles, Li Haoran sank three troop carriers and seriously damaged one battleship.

However, just half an hour ago, they discovered an embarrassing problem - they had not much ammunition left.

Because of the lack of experience in naval warfare, the number of 500-kilogram aerial bombs hoarded on Luzon Island was not large, but after rounds of fierce fighting, it has now been exhausted.

In the last two sorties, Li Haoran could only carry three 250-kilogram bombs. The effectiveness of an attack on the sea is very limited and cannot be compared with a 500-kilogram bomb.

"If I take off one more time, I'll be able to take out a hundred more enemies." Li Haoran leaned against the wooden pillar and said to the air force commander beside him.

"Don't say it...... I also know, but now our planes need to be refurbished, many parts are missing, and the remaining few planes will not play a decisive role in going up. Li Haoran's commander shook his head and said with a sigh.

Although I had expected a hard battle, after all, because of too little experience, the ammunition was not enough, and the spare parts were not prepared.

The current situation is that of the more than 20 Lei Gong 1 dive bombers, less than 10 are able to take off. And the pilots were very tired, and everyone did not have much rest.

Because of this, Rui Mouguo ordered to stop the air force from continuing to attack the beachhead. As we all know, it is not easy to rely on sea transportation to support Luzon now.

The good news is not nothing, just 7 hours ago, the Ceylonese army stopped attacking on the beach, and then the shelling of the Ming Empire also stopped, and everyone consciously did not continue to provoke the war.

The Ceylon soldiers on the opposite side buried the pot to cook, and the soldiers of the Ming Empire here also enjoyed a rare calm. The two sides have not lived so peacefully since the beginning of the war.

"Ceylon ordered a halt to the offensive...... We're not going to fight anymore on our side. The Air Force commander handed a copy of the telegram to Li Haoran on the side: "It seems that the rest of the matter has nothing to do with our soldiers. ”

"It's really uncomfortable not to drive those bastards into the sea." Glancing at the message in the commander's hand, Li Haoran snorted coldly, closed his eyes as if he was asleep, and didn't say a word more.
