"Dididi" radio station is very busy.

The British command in Lamber was busy, but all the spirits were more exuberant than ever.

"Report to the commander, our air force fleet has been engaged in a struggle with the Chinese air force over East Bengal, and the fleet is safe and has not suffered any losses."

"Good!" Both Dannatt and Marshall were in good spirits.

Dannatt then asked, "What are the Air Force losses?" ”

"Not big." The staff officer replied, "According to General Olife's observational reply, with the current losses, it is entirely possible that our air force will entangle the opposing side for a whole day. ”

Marshall was overjoyed: "Great. It's a pity that the main fleet of the Chinese actually ran away, otherwise it would have killed them. ”

The corners of Dannett's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and then he said expressionlessly: "They can't run." What about the fleet? ”

The staff officer replied: "According to the information from the fleet, the fleet has pressed towards the coast and is ready for shelling the enemy's coastal defenses. ”

Danner took a long breath and said, "Very good. Immediately telegraphed to Olife and General Xia Fei to let the troops, with the fire support of the naval guns, launch a fierce attack on the whole line, and succeeded in this move. ”

Marshall and Hagrid have already nodded their heads one after another, the combined fleet is such a huge scale, how powerful its naval artillery strikes are, under the cover of naval artillery strikes, it is easy to break through, this rainy coastal zone with soft geology is even more impossible to build a strong position, and the Chinese side does not have time to build permanent fortifications, even if they do. It is also absolutely impossible to withstand the main gun hit of the capital ship.

"Report! A swarm of planes was found in the sky. At that moment, a staff officer flew in.

Someone immediately laughed and said, "It should be that we are going to bomb the group of planes in Guwahati and return home." ”

Dannatt smiled and said, "Did you see the logo of the plane clearly?" ”

"Nope. There were quite a few clouds in the sky, blocking the view, and we could only tell from the sound that it was a group of planes, about a hundred planes. ”

Danner nodded, quantitatively matching the group of returning aircraft, and immediately said: "Continue to pay attention to observation, and report the situation immediately." Our fleet bombed the super airfield that the Chinese were preparing to build in Guwahati, and I think the Chinese Air Force must retaliate and must be careful to guard against it. ”

"Yes!" The staff officer answered with a loud voice.

Dannatt called out to the staff officer, "Wait. Outgoing call to contact the fleet. Confirmed. ”

"Yes!" The staff officer responded.

Marshall laughed, "General Dannatt is very cautious." ”

Admiral Dannatt smiled bitterly: "Deal with such a powerful opponent. If you're not careful, you'll only lose badly. ”

At this time, a staff officer ran over and said: "Report to the commander, the river defense troops have returned to the upper reaches of the Brahmaputra River with a large amount of oil"

"Hahaha," Dannatt, Marshall, Hagrid, and the generals laughed. They already know about it. The tentacles of the Chinese tanker ship are broken. Tens of thousands of tons of jet fuel were lost. It's simply something that makes them feel happy for the group.

Dannatt smiled and said, "We already know about this. They did a good job, continuing to be on alert, paying special attention to air defense. Prevent the Chinese Air Force from destroying our pontoon bridges, which will affect the retreat of the troops at that time. ”

"Yes!"

One of the generals asked for a bottle of champagne and said with a smile: "Shouldn't we have a toast now and celebrate our victory in advance?" For a time, many officers chimed in.

Dannatt frowned, he was far less optimistic than the generals, and in his opinion, even if the rescue was successful, the battle as a whole would still be a great defeat for the Western coalition. He really wasn't in that mood, and of course he couldn't dampen everyone's confidence. Remembering the staff officer's report just now, he immediately said: "Have you contacted the aircraft group?" ”

"Report to the commander, we have called, but there is no reply."

Dannatt's heart tightened inexplicably, and he said sharply: "Keep it on!" Order the other party and reply immediately. The airfields were ordered to enter a combat state and prevent air strikes by the enemy's air force. ”

Marshall said in surprise: "General Dannatt, are you too nervous?" ”

Dannatt patted his forehead and said, "I hope I'm overthinking." ”

Marshall said with a smile: "Our sortie this time is all bombing by fighter jets, and the pilots need to fly, especially when there are so many clouds in the sky, while flying, while translating telegrams, and at the same time sending telegrams, it is normal to be slow." ”

Dannat suddenly came to his senses and immediately shouted: "Immediately send a telegram to contact again." ”

Sure enough, this time, the generator group quickly replied: "The group has completed its mission and is returning home, and it will be over the Brahmaputra River in three minutes." ”

This callback was like a bolt from the blue for Dannat and other senior officials of the command.

The planes had not yet reached the Brahmaputra River, and the group of planes that had just flown over their heads

"Enemy planes!" In an instant, the entire command was in chaos.

"Immediately telegraph to the airfield to prepare for air defense, and the stranded planes will immediately take off to meet the enemy"

"Woo" sharp air defense sirens stirred up the airfields of the coalition forces on the west bank of the river.

There are planes at the airport, mainly some planes that cannot fly because of a breakdown, and ground technicians are rushing to repair them, and several repaired planes have been quickly refueled, and immediately rushed to the airport runway to taxi after refueling

Suddenly, two silver planes in the clouds in the sky swooped down like swallows, dropping two bombshells, two of which were taxiing to the landing, and a huge crater like a basketball court appeared in the violent explosion, although the bombs did not hit, but the shrapnel and the debris that blew up smashed the nose of the taxiing plane to pieces, one of the planes was directly overturned, and one plane lost control and still rushed forward, and plunged into a huge crater

Immediately after that, four H-1 Thunderbird bombers appeared over the airport, and countless 50-kilogram and 100-kilogram bombs rained down, and in an instant the entire airport was shrouded in the flames and smoke of explosions.

The anti-aircraft fire of the airfield frantically sprayed tongues of fire into the sky, and the shelling of the anti-aircraft artillery formed brilliant fireworks in the sky

The Chinese command of "Dididi" Di Brueger was also very busy.

Li Songshan took the telegram in his hand and said excitedly: "Great, our plan to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle has succeeded." ”

Li Bufan sneered: "This is taken for granted. Enemy aircraft have a limited range, and if they want to entangle our air force as much as possible, then their airfields must be as far forward as possible. Despite the fact that the enemy fears our air force and is full of air defense posts, it is impossible to contact us with a clear code telegram at the first time when the battle is tense, it takes time to translate the telegram and reply to the telegram, the pilot is not a real telegraph personnel after all, and this time difference is enough for our planes to arrive over the enemy's airfield. Even if they find out, our air force can carry out a strong attack, even if it suffers some losses, it will be worth it. ”

Zhang Xiaozhun nodded and said, "The commander-in-chief is wise." Although the bombing detachment was escorted by only two fighters, they were all the best pilots, and it was a big deal to directly drop the bombshells on their loads, and with the superior performance of our J-2 fighters, they could also take out the enemy planes that took off in a hurry. ”

Li Songshan said with a smile: "It's just that we have sent fewer planes, and we can't completely destroy the enemy's airfield." ”

Li Bufan said: "It doesn't matter. Our aim is to destroy the enemy's runway so that enemy planes cannot land on their way back. ”

Zhang Xiaozhun smiled and said: "The enemy airfield has been destroyed, and I am afraid that the enemy plane will run away." ”

Li Bufan nodded and said, "That's just to beat the water dog." Although the fleet of aircraft departing from southern Myanmar and Dibrugarh airport had to return due to the range, there were also several hundred aircraft with sufficient fuel to pursue them at the ASEAN temporary airport. ”

Li Songshan said with a smile: "As soon as the enemy plane runs like this, I am afraid that the enemy's fleet will also retract." ”

Li Bufan smiled: "Do they still want to run?" Order Li Haijun to kill the horse pistol. ”

At Chittagong, the Western Combined Fleet was already 10 kilometers off the coast, and countless naval guns were turning their muzzles and aiming at the Chinese positions on the shore.

Panetta and the corners of his mouth showed a cruel smile, and Panetta laughed wildly: "Damn Chinese devils, go die!" I order" He drew his command knife, and was trying to put on a wild and uninhibited posture to show his heroic posture, knowing that as long as there were no fortress guns, the army on the shore would not pose a big threat to the navy, even if the opponent's cannon would at most cause some damage to destroyers and light cruisers, and it could only be regarded as scratching the armor of battleships.

"Report: Commander, the main fleet of the Chinese has been found in the east!"

Panetta and Miller were taken aback, and hurriedly looked, and sure enough, they saw that the main Chinese fleet was coming at full speed, and it might not take a few minutes to get into the range of the ship's guns.

A sly smile flashed at the corner of Miller's mouth: "Great, just take them out." ”

Panetta sighed, and glanced at the shore with some reluctance, in this case, he could only give up the "lambs to the slaughter" on the shore first, and immediately shouted: "Turn the muzzle of the cannon and prepare for battle!" ”

Miller stared at the movements of the main naval forces of the Chinese side with a telescope, and soon said with a sinking face: "The main naval forces of the Chinese are interspersed with the coastal waters. ”

Panetta frowned, "What do they want to do?" If the depth of the offshore sea is not enough, the operation will be limited, and sure enough, it is a group of baby navy. ”

Miller said in a deep voice: "I think the Chinese still have this common sense of naval warfare." I think their purpose is that if the warship is sunk in the coastal waters, they can make it easier to salvage and repair it, and reduce the damage as much as possible. ”

Panetta sneered: "The fleet is incapacitated, the speed of the ship decreases, that will greatly increase our shelling hits." They're looking for death. ”

Miller frowned, fighting with the Chinese, he always felt full of weirdness, he didn't believe that the Chinese Navy would not know the common sense of this naval battle, but since he knew, why did the main naval force of the Chinese still do this? (To be continued......)
