In the sky, the dark clouds pressed the top, and on the sea, the wind and waves were turbulent, wave after wave of huge waves, setting off waves more than ten meters high, and swooping fiercely towards the coastline in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Four helicopters weighing more than four tons flew in a column close to the surface of the sea, and they were like dragonflies in the wind, disturbed by the restless air currents, up and down, left and right.

"Keep your distance from the sea and try to cut in from the northwest coast before the rainstorm arrives!"

On a helicopter in the center, Major An Haoyang, chief of the reconnaissance section of the intelligence department of the Fourth Army, looked at the stormy sea and said calmly into the interlocutor.

"Understood!"

Lieutenant Duan Junsheng, the pilot of the Type IV-A helicopter gunship at the front, replied as he exerted all his strength, tightened the control stick of the plane, and tightly grasped the throttle stick with his right hand.

As he entered the harsh Pauk Strait, Duan Junsheng had already turned off his flight aids and relied entirely on himself and his co-pilot to control the helicopter. Behind them, the pilots of three other IV-Y helicopters also chose the same way of flying.

IV helicopter compared with III helicopter, technology has a new leap, this is mainly engine technology and composite materials have made great progress, the new research and development of FX1942--21 turboshaft engine, with 1300K horsepower, strong power, and composite materials have light weight, high strength, easy forming, fatigue resistance, crash resistance, not easy to be radar detection and electromagnetic compatibility and other advantages, the use of Syria Academy of Science and Technology Institute of materials research and development of new composite materials, can reduce weight, The most obvious performance improvement is the use of composite materials for the life of the propellers, which has increased from 1,200 hours for the all-metal propellers of Straight II and Straight III to 3,600 hours now, almost three times as much as before.

Like the Z-III helicopter, the IV helicopter also has four models, the most important of which is the general purpose and the military type, the IV helicopter adopts a single-engine single-rotor with tail rotor layout, the tail rotor is mounted on the left side of the tail oblique beam, and the fuselage is an ordinary all-metal semi-monocoque structure, consisting of two longitudinal beams and a number of bulkheads and metal skin.

Electronic equipment includes all-weather flight instruments, multi-channel high-frequency transceivers, heading, airframe and glide path relative position omnidirectional indicators and instrument landing indicators, VHF beacon receivers, navigation compasses and all-attitude flight indicators, etc.

Compared to the Z-III, the fuel tank of the Z-IV has been rearranged and the cabin volume has been increased to 6. 8 cubic meters, which can carry fifteen soldiers or six stretchers plus a medical staff or two thousand kilograms of cargo, of which two pilots are not counted, and the effective load is much more than that of the Z III.

After nearly three months of uninterrupted testing, it has been proved that the model has improved its performance in terms of supply and personnel transportation, command and control, electronic warfare, medical aid, minelaying, and airborne landing compared with the Z-III.

The military version of the Z-IV is an IV-A helicopter gunship, with a crew consisting of a pilot and a co-pilot and gunner, and the weapon system is a three-barreled 20-mm Vulcan cannon with 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and a four-barrel rocket nest that can fire 16 rockets, one pylon each on the left and right, each carrying two missile launchers, which are loaded with four "Woodpecker" I missiles.

The "Woodpecker" I missile is the first generation of air-to-surface missiles developed by the Rocket Research Institute, with a launch weight of 177 kg, a maximum range of 45 km, an effective range of 12 to 16 km, a speed of twice the speed of sound, a tracking and guidance method, a passive single-pulse radar seeker, a fragmentation kill warhead, a weight of 66 kg, a loading of 25 kg, and a solid rocket engine for the power plant, which is mainly used for accurate destruction of ground targets, especially radar.

The four helicopters flew silently across the coastline and continued south along a meandering river, passing a large lake and a dense forest, and when they reached the second large lake, they turned westward, crossed the lake about 30 kilometres long, landed on land again, and finally stopped at the edge of a dense forest.

Major An Haoyang took the map, compared it with the signal fed back by the high-altitude radar on the helicopter's electronic display, and nodded heavily: "This is it, let's land!" ”

The IV-A helicopter gunship continued to be on alert in the air, and the remaining three IV-Y utility helicopters descended vertically to the ground before finally coming to a solid ground, and a heavily armed Anjia Army scout jumped from the helicopter's flat cabin, including two communicators carrying military radios on their backs.

An Haoyang finally landed on the ground, he took the cockpit radio transmitter, briefly explained a few words, and then came to the middle of the assembled team, beckoned his teammates to his side, took out the map, and whispered: "We only need to pass through the dense forest in front of us for a radius of about five kilometers, and we can reach the edge of Jaffna City." Jaffna is the main military stronghold of the Japanese army in the northeastern region of Ceylon, and there are many military facilities of the navy and army, and we can only open a gap from here if we want to thoroughly understand the situation of the Japanese army.

"During this time, the Air Force carried out a reconnaissance of Ceylon, and at first it did not find anything wrong, but after comparing the photos of the past few months, the intelligence department found that there were many fewer people on the ground, and there were not many pedestrians in the originally lively city and communication lines, and it was suspected that the Japanese army had withdrawn on a large scale!

"Come, this is where the main barracks of the Japanese army are located, and I will assign the task......

An Haoyang divided the team of 45 people into eight groups, seven of which were five people each, each responsible for a Japanese camp, and he himself took the team headquarters and went straight to the military port area in the southwest to investigate the situation of the Japanese navy.

Finally, An Haoyang instructed: "Everyone should be careful when acting, if you find that the situation is not right, you would rather take more detours to ensure that you don't startle the snake." Although each of us here is an elite, tempered by a thousand tempers, and is not afraid of the siege of the Japanese, we must remember our main task and not lose the big because of the small. ”

"Yes!"

The officers and soldiers dispersed in groups, An Haoyang looked at his watch and beckoned: "Let's go too!" ”

Perhaps it was the reason why the storm was coming, the whole city of Jaffna was silent, the team led by An Haoyang, from the edge of the big lake, bypassed the city, and then followed the coastal road and entered the port, the officers and soldiers were surprised to find that there was not a single boat in sight in the entire port, and even when they entered the area marked with the naval base on the map, they did not find a single Japanese soldier stationed!

Standing on the empty wharf, An Haoyang looked around and saw a ** wave, hitting the breakwater in the distance, but because of the breakwater surrounded by crabs in the port area, the waves on the wharf were not big. At this moment, a thunderclap suddenly flashed in the sky, and then a bean-sized raindrop fell.

An Haoyang took two correspondents into the garbage-strewn four-story building, which was once the naval building of the British army, and the Japanese did not hesitate to use it, but now it is obviously empty, and the silence is terrifying.

The soldiers who were scouting around had already gathered, and except for the sentries who left guards, the rest of the people were all talking about what they had seen and heard to An Haoyang.

"The artillery on the anti-aircraft gun positions on the pier is all wood painted green on the outside!"

"The barrel of the fortress gun sticking out of the harbor fort is a section of oil drum painted with black paint, so the caliber looks very amazing!"

"The soldiers standing guard outside the barracks in the west are scarecrows wearing Japanese military uniforms!"

"The cars parked in the parking lot at the back are all cleverly placed wooden boxes, and due to some decorations, they look like rows of cars from a high place!"

……

The continuous intelligence made An Haoyang's heart brighter and brighter, and after a little groaning, he immediately asked the communication soldier to turn on the radio station and listen to the surrounding radio waves.

As expected, the radio was very quiet, from medium waves to short waves, all messages from the opposite continent, and there were no radio waves in and around Jaffna, which did not look like a heavily garrisoned city should have.

An Haoyang paced back and forth, and said decisively: "Break the radio silence and truthfully report the situation here to the group army!" Finally, I would like to enclose my opinion: The Japanese army has been in a maze in order to cover up the truth of the emptiness of its troops, which is by no means a sign of weakness, but that its main force has indeed retreated, and it can only be delayed for one day under the lack of personnel.

"According to the analysis of various signs, the Japanese army in the Indian Ocean has begun to shrink, and we must hurry up and move south, otherwise the cooked duck is very likely to fly away!"

……

Half an hour later, Admiral Xia Jian, who had set up his theater headquarters in Jiaozhou City, which had been renamed from Madras, received a telegram from Lieutenant General Luo Lei, commander of the Fourth Army, and immediately ordered an emergency military meeting to be called, and Vice Admiral Zhao Lei, commander of the Navy's Indian Ocean Fleet Aircraft Carrier Task Force, was invited to attend.

Lieutenant General Yan Yaohuan, deputy commander of the theater, briefly introduced the situation of the telegram, and Xia Jian said straight to the point: "Although it is windy and rainy outside, there will always be a time when the rain will pass and the sky will be clear. If all the intelligence is true, then there is absolutely no need for us to wait until the end of next month's parade to launch a landing campaign! Let's discuss! ”

Pei Guangrong, chief of staff of the Front Army, was transferred from the position of political commissar of the Fourth Group Army, and he is very familiar with An Haoyang, an officer: "Section Chief An is a graduate of the Boy Scout Military Academy, the special major of the Syrian Non-commissioned Officer Academy and the Chang'an Military Command College.

"At present, the Allies are fighting in North Africa, and they have no time to take care of the Indian Ocean, let alone know that the Japanese army has taken the initiative to escape, if they find that the once difficult hard bones have now become soft-footed crabs, they will definitely jump out to compete with us for the interests of the Indian Ocean!

"Although we have signed an agreement with the Free French Movement, and the French have promised to lease their colonies in the Indian and Pacific Oceans to us for a period of 200 million Chinese dollars, valid for ninety-nine years, after all, the Free French Movement is not yet the legitimate government of France, and now that de Gaulle has passed the most difficult period and his international status is increasing day by day, he must be pondering how to reverse it!

"In such a situation, we waste an extra day, and these islands with empty defenses are like undressed brides, just waiting for the groom to go to bed. Whether we can enjoy all the benefits of being a bridegroom depends on whether our actions are resolute, otherwise we will regret it when the robbers come to the door! Therefore, I think that as soon as the sky clears, we should immediately start the operation to seize the island, and the operation must be strictly secrecy, even if we occupy the whole island of Ceylon, we should not be busy until we take down the other islands! ”

Major General Pan Che, director of the Political Department, and Colonel Guan Zhonghao, chief of the Operations Division, both agreed with the chief of staff's proposal, and the words of Colonel Qian Yushang, director of the Intelligence Division, were the most representative: "In the past six months, other fraternal units have been eating meat, and we are drinking porridge. ”

Zhao Lei hesitated a little: "What if the General Staff and the Navy Command oppose our plan?" ”

Xia Jian was deeply satisfied with the strong desire of his brothers to fight, and said with a smile to Zhao Lei: "Don't worry, no one knows the chairman as well, if he knows everything that is happening here, he will definitely be more anxious than me, I believe he will agree with my plan of action...... I've already reported the details and my thoughts before you come, and we'll make a plan now, and we'll get to action as soon as the order comes......

The generals looked at each other, nodded their heads again and again, and soon started to think about how to take the island of Ceylon as quickly as possible.
