532 persistent swoop
"Your Excellency, there is news from the Ceylon side that we want to retreat back and cooperate with their battle plan. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "An officer went to Balek? Admiral Lem was behind him and handed the telegram in his hand to the other party.
Balek? When Admiral Lerm heard the news, he frowned, then took the telegram and looked at it carefully: "It seems that those Ceylonese people have begun to play those inexplicable conspiracies and tricks again. ”
Because of the long-term partnership, and because he was also involved in this intrigue throughout the battle, Balek? Admiral Rem is very elegant at this moment.
The Ceylonese seem to want the British naval fleet to be more restrained, and from this point of view, at least Miao Shengye, the main battle faction, is estimated to lose power.
Even Baalek, who knows Ceylon? Admiral Lem didn't expect at this time that Miao Shengye, the speaker of the Ceylon parliament he was familiar with and the leader of the main battle faction, had been beaten into a sieve at this time.
Although he didn't know that Miao Shengye was dead, what he knew was that in the future, Ceylon would no longer have the determination to fight and the courage to fight.
As for the grand strategic goal of occupying Luzon, capturing Taiwan and other regions, and completely compressing the Ming Empire on land, it is completely impossible to achieve.
"Miao Shengye is still a character, but other Ceylonese people really don't have much ability." Balek? Admiral Lerm sneered and commented on the Shen family, who had not had much contact with him.
Even in the distant British Empire, the Shen family is definitely a well-known behemoth, which shows the strength of this family, and how difficult it is for Miao Shengye to be able to suppress the Shen family.
Compare the UK, Balek? Admiral Lem thought Ceylon had missed a great opportunity. Britain is isolated from Europe and has gained a unique geographical advantage, which has made Britain strong today.
Ceylon has a territory dozens of times larger than that of Britain, and has an equally larger population, but it is really a bit humiliating that it cannot suppress the Ming Empire at sea.
However, as a soldier, he obviously ignored the difference between the two - Europe across the sea of the British Empire was a divided European continent, and although Ceylon was huge, the huge Ceylon faced an ironclad Ming Empire.
Of course, he was fighting now, so he didn't say much about Ceylon. What he wants to do now is to continue to attack Hong Kong and make the Ming Empire have a long memory.
"If there is a next time, don't forget the powerful naval fleet of the British Empire, and don't forget the feeling of being blocked at the door and being beaten today!" Balek? Admiral Lem muttered coldly, then looked at the turret in the distance.
The distant battery was still firing back, and from time to time shells landed there, sending up columns of black smoke. The battle was invisible, but it was still tense.
Because on the sea near the British fleet, there are also water columns rising from time to time, and it looks very spectacular to reach the sky.
Balek? Admiral Lem placed the telegram in his hand on the table, then looked at the light smoke of Nandao in the distance, and reluctantly gave the order to retreat.
After all, now his navy has the upper hand, and his fleet has not been hit even once by enemy shells. A vague retreat in this case would affect the face of the naval hegemon of the British Empire, in his opinion.
Fighting against the enemy is a glorious tradition of the British Navy 200 years ago, after defeating the Ming Empire's expeditionary fleet with weak forces.
Tradition is clearly meant to be continued, so Balek? Admiral Lum has no intention of changing this tradition.
However, soon he received news from the mast lookout post that the plane of the Ming Empire appeared in the sky.
In the beginning, it was two old two-winged aircraft, which only hovered far outside, providing firing parameters for the shore defense guns of the Ming Empire.
The presence of these aircraft forced the British fleet to frequently change its course, and at the same time reduced the accuracy of the guns on the ships.
But now, the new aircraft of the Ming Empire appeared on the battlefield, so that the commander of the British fleet, Balek? Admiral Lerm was a little timid.
Soon, two Ming Empire planes, which they didn't know where they came from, swooped down in the sky. However, they did not carry bombs on their bellies, and they were not dive bombers more suitable for attacking warships.
On the battlefield were two Piercing 2 fighters, which had just descended south from Shanghai to Guangzhou yesterday, to patrol and guard the mission of preventing British Empire warships from attacking Hong Kong and Guangzhou as much as possible.
At this time, the Lei Gong 1 dive bombers were concentrated on the front line and had not yet been deployed back to the coastal areas. The battle on the front line had just ended a few hours earlier, so they hadn't had time to fly back yet.
Therefore, at this time, the number of dive bombers that could attack the fleet of the British Empire was really rare in the 10,000-mile sea frontier of the Ming Empire.
The Shanghai area just yesterday received 20 newly produced Lei Gong-1 dive bombers. The pilots were still novices, and they didn't even have time to complete their training for land attacks.
In the vicinity of Tianjin's Jingshi, the situation is slightly better, an aviation regiment transferred back from North Korea has just arrived, at least the air force stationed here are all old pilots, and the combat effectiveness can still be guaranteed.
Sea power, at least Jang Rudeok's naval fleet in the Gyeonggi area, plus superiority in aircraft, should be able to guarantee safety.
At the same time, the Ming Empire in the Shanghai area also had the remaining two battleships to escort it, plus the novice pilots, of course, there was also the strength to fight......
In this way, that is, in the area of Guangzhou in Hong Kong, the coastal area of the Ming Empire, a temporary vacuum was formed, and there was not much power to stop the battleship fleet of the British Empire.
And because of this, so Balek? Admiral Lerm can also bombard Hong Kong safely and securely, without worrying about the threat posed to him by the Ming Empire.
"Suddenly! Dodo! Zhou Yuxin piloted his fighter jet and dived towards a British warship, he had no aerial bombs for attack, and could only use the cannon shells he carried to vent his anger.
The bullet hit the armor of the thick battleship, and it could only sputter a spark that didn't hurt or itch. However, the two fighters still dived again and again, pouring the ammunition they carried on these steel behemoths.
Although, their attack could not hurt the battleship in the slightest, but their persistent attack made Balek? Admiral Lerm began to worry: will there be another, more threatening aircraft, on the battlefield later?
