(Ask for collection)

At midnight, Li Guangmu sent the 10,000-ton freighter away, most of the people on board had just arrived at Shixiang Island, the enemy was coming, they were forced to embark on a wandering journey again, people were very confused, and they didn't know if they could return to this overseas paradise again. They didn't stay on the island for long, but they were impressed by everything about the stone statue - there was work here, there was enough food here.

They had just left their war-torn homeland, and after a short rest, they had only eaten a few peaceful meals, and were forced to wander again, and many of them wept silently, and the ship was full of sobs.

Li Guang was under heavy pressure and the enemy was strong, but he did not think that Chile would be able to take the Statue Island with just a few warships. Li Guang is also a rookie about war, but he still understands knowing himself and his opponent. Thinking about the strength at hand of the Naval Resistance Army, Li Guang was not afraid.

The navy and naval resistance forces are weak.

Although there are not many regular troops in the army and the navy, the total strength of the army is more than 5,000, and if you add the workers, it is a full 8,000. And the Navy's resistance forces are now fully equipped with light weapons, and there is no shortage of ammunition. Except for mortar shells, there were plenty of shells, and the other shells were relatively insufficient.

Although the air force of the Naval Resistance Army is weak, the opponent does not have fighters at all, and there is no doubt that it has an advantage in this regard. But how big the advantage is, it is difficult to say without actual combat Li Guang.

In the Air Force, there are now four crews of eight people capable of flying two reconnaissance aircraft. There are only six people who can fly the P40 fighter, and one of them is Li Guang.

As for whether the P40 fighter can dive, bomb, and strafe, Li Guang estimates that only Yuan Yin and Liu Gensheng can do it, while the others are now only able to fly and make do with landing.

Don't look at the fact that the Air Force has been training for four or five months, but before that there was only one Yue reconnaissance plane, and later a German reconnaissance plane was added. Only these two fighters are two-seater fighters, which are used as training aircraft by the Naval Resistance Army.

The so-called flight instructors are actually Yuan Yin, the pilot, and Liu Gensheng, the more rookie pilot. These two people have never been in contact with monoplanes before, and it is already a very good achievement to be able to fly on their own in just over a month, and to train a few pilots who can go to the sky.

The situation of the bomber squad was slightly better, and the two transport planes left on the stone statue island, the pilot and crew were double-matched. Fighters who practice dexterous bomb dropping, most of the time training on the top of a mountain. Several training sessions on transport planes were not satisfactory. The best result is to achieve an altitude of 4,500 meters and hit a target with a diameter of 100 meters. The dexterity bombs are immature, the fighters are immature, and the results are extremely unstable.

Even so, the immature air force is the only advantage of the naval resistance force.

The arrangements at the military meeting seemed to be in good order, but Li Guang was extremely depressed in his heart. The plan cannot catch up with the changes, and the planned warships are not yet able to form combat effectiveness, even if we do not talk about aircraft carriers, even if we wait for a few submarines to be launched, Li Guang will not be so passive.

In fact, Li Guang knew that with the force of the statue island and Chile, there was almost no hope of victory. For Li Guang, the greatest hope is to keep the stone statue island and win the battle in front of him.

Although Chile is located in South America, it is remote enough for Europe, the center of the world at present. But the Chilean Navy is almost in the top 10 in the world in this era.

Brazil, Chile, Argentina, the three major powers of South America. These three countries are actually not weak at all in this era, and they can be considered evenly matched in terms of navy. At present, there are not many countries in the world whose navies can show their hands, and the United Kingdom and the United States are in the first echelon, and France, the Soviet Union, Italy, and Germany are in the second echelon. Further down the line, it's the turn of the Netherlands, Spain, and South America.

Despite the fact that Chile is far less populous than Brazil and Argentina, the navy has had a real history. One only has to look at the shape of Chile's territory to know how powerful its navy is. Chile is on the west coast of South America, from south to north, covering more than 4,300 kilometers, and the terrain is a long strip. And Bolivia, located in the northeast of Chile, has not even had an outlet to the sea by Chile. Peru in the north has been ceded many times by Chile. It is impossible for the navy and army to retain such a piece of land in the war-torn 19th and early 20th centuries without combat effectiveness.

Just look at the lineup that the Chilean Navy has put on this time to know that it is powerful. In order to deal with the naval resistance forces, Chile actually dispatched his only battleship.

Chile defeated Bolivia and Peru decades earlier, and its most famous aggressive fleet was a major force of seven cruisers. And this time a battleship was dispatched.

Regardless of the strength of its army, these four warships can defeat a small country. Even if the total displacement is not as good as the Chinese army before the Anti-Japanese War, its combat effectiveness is far superior. Although there are many aircraft carriers in the world now, they do not play a leading role in war. The might of the battleship was almost a symbol of invincibility in the naval battles of this era. As for the combat effectiveness of the Chilean battleship, the naval resistance forces are not clear. But the pilot of a reconnaissance plane, who had never seen a battleship, could tell at a glance that it was a battleship, which was enough to show the size of the battleship.

And the Chilean Navy is not just such a battleship, but also three cruisers and destroyers. Even in the context of the war between Germany and Great Britain in the Atlantic, this kind of power is definitely not a force to be underestimated.

Li Guang also thought a lot about the reasons for the Chilean Navy's dispatch. In fact, there is no conflict of interest between the Navy's business and Chile's main focus on copper, lead, coal and grain. For Chile's large-scale offensive this time, Li Guangneng can think of only one reason -- this one. And Li Guang did not know that behind the large-scale attack of the Chilean Navy, the British Minister to Uruguay, Raquel, played an inglorious role. The information about the base of the Naval Resistance Army on Stone Statue Island was spread by Ryker intentionally or unintentionally.

At four o'clock in the morning, the Chilean Navy, led by the battleship "Admiral Latorre", approached the island of Statues.

The two 600-ton warships of the Maritime Resistance Army had already gone to sea before midnight and took the initiative to attack. After Zheng Xuechang led two warships to sea, he went all the way to the east.

Originally, the fleet that searched for the enemy on the vast sea did not have radar, but even if there was a radar, the radar of this era did not have a long search distance, and trying to find the enemy's fleet was almost like hitting a big luck. But this time, Zheng Xuechang found the Chilean fleet almost effortlessly.

The Chilean Navy was so proud that it sank a fishing boat yesterday, not even realizing that the operation had leaked. And its sailing route is like a textbook, straight, really straight.

Zheng Xuechang only calculated the route of the Chilean Navy a little, and according to the chart, he easily discovered the Chilean fleet.
