232. Battle of East Bengal 21

The dawn broke, and the light gradually sprinkled into the heavens and the earth.

The Western Combined Fleet is cleaving the waves, and they are finally ushering in the light.

Fleet Commander Panetta sighed to himself, he now knew how frightening the darkness was.

Although the Chinese aircraft pose a great threat to the fleet, their fleet has practiced anti-aircraft fire coordination tactics for at least half a year, as well as allied aircraft support. However, if they were ambushed by Chinese submarines in the dark night, they would have almost no power to fight back. In this era, there are no underwater radar and sonar surveillance systems in the navies of the Western world, and it would be a dream to detect lurking submarines in the dark.

Panetta came almost all night in fear, wondering if a torpedo would be launched underwater in the dark to send the warship to the bottom of the sea and send him to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish. You must know that a year and a half ago, a Chinese submarine ambushed and almost paralyzed the main force of the Japanese Navy, can he not be afraid?

What kind of country is the United States? Money comes first, profit comes first. A multi-ethnic country with no history is doomed to its greedy nature and national behavior of bullying the weak and fearing the hard, because they have no glory to be guarded, and no spiritual inheritance that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Actually, does the United States really have no history? Of course. But the United States did not dare to make it public in the first place, because the history of the United States has nothing to do with the current Americans, it is the history of the Indians. And the history of the Americans today is full of plunder and massacre, tens of millions of Indians were slaughtered, and hundreds of thousands remained. Americans don't want to be called executioners. The descendants of the butcher, that only self-proclaimed has no history.

If the enemy is weak, the United States will absolutely dare to crush the opponent with absolute strength, because both US aggression and expansion have shown that there will be benefits if the enemy wins. What is the quality of American servicemen? It can be seen from the Spanish-American War that the United States dared to attack Spain only when it had several times the strength of Spain, but it was rumored that Spain wanted to reinforce Cuba and even attack the United States, causing countless people on the east coast of the Atlantic to flee inland, and they were terrified.

This is the characteristic of the country of immigrants, how can Europeans shed their blood for the place of migration in order to avoid the war and even abandon their motherland? They can immigrate to the United States. You can then emigrate to other places. To put it mildly. They themselves are a bunch of people who are afraid of death.

The arrival of light gave Panetta a sense of security, although she was still a little uneasy inside, but it was much better than in the dark.

"Your Excellency, Commander. Command emergency call. ”

Panetta was startled by the voice. But he saw that it was Miller. Then he said with some annoyance: "General Miller, can you not appear so silently next time, is it okay?" ”

Miller frowned slightly. Then he answered, "Yes, Commander." But now there is an urgent telegram from the command. As he spoke, he handed over the telegram.

Panetta took the telegram and looked at it, and after a few seconds, his hands and feet were trembling, and cold sweat instantly poured out.

Miller was extremely contemptuous in his heart, but his mouth said solemnly: "Your Excellency, I think General Marshall has analyzed it well on the telegram. Now that the sky is bright, soon the Chinese reconnaissance planes will discover our fleet, and then there is no doubt that we will be pursued by the Chinese Air Force, with unimaginable consequences. ”

Panetta's teeth made a sound of fighting up and down: "You speak lightly. Do you know how long a whole day is? Here, at least a full twelve hours, this time is enough for the Chinese Air Force to send us to the bottom of the sea dozens of times. ”

Seeing that it was unproductive, Miller said angrily on the spot: "Then what do you want? Is it because of danger that you want to take this huge fleet that is at least half of the Chinese navy combined, and surrender to the Chinese without firing a shot? ”

Miller's frenzy made Panetta stunned, his face was blue and white, and he didn't know how to answer.

Miller suddenly felt that he was a little excessive, his tone softened, and he said seriously: "Your Excellency, at this point, we can only believe that our anti-aircraft fire drills are effective, and we can only believe that our air force can contain the Chinese's aircraft." ”

Panetta also gradually woke up from his fear, he was able to sit on the throne of the commander of the navy, and he was certainly not a fool. The situation has reached such a point that no matter how much he regrets it, he can't change the status quo, and now he can only survive in the crisis.

He wanted to think of a way, but his mind was a mess, you must know that although the US Navy is huge, the Navy in this area is really a rookie who has no experience in naval warfare, and it is impossible to be as calm as the British Navy that has experienced a hundred battles, so he has to say: "Then what should we do now?" ”

Miller said: "We should attack, take the initiative to attack the Chinese navy." ”

Panetta was surprised, "Attack? "He almost thought Miller was crazy at the moment, he didn't even have time to hide at this time, and he was still thinking about attacking?

Miller said solemnly: "Yes, it's an offense." If our air force succeeds in intercepting the Chinese air force, we can defeat the Chinese navy with overwhelming strength and establish merit; But if our air force fails, we can launch a sea attack on the entire line of the Chinese fleet, stir the two fleets together, so that the Chinese air force will not dare to attack us unscrupulously, and we will have a real 'white-knuckle battle at sea' with the Chinese navy." ”

"White-knuckle combat at sea?" The corners of Panetta's mouth were full of bitterness, and the U.S. Army had no tradition of white-knuckle warfare, let alone the Navy. In the eyes of the US military, war is to destroy the enemy, and the problems that can be solved with artillery shells will never be solved with guns, and as for waste, they have not thought about it, they only know that they have the most powerful industrial capacity in the world, and they also know that the more materials they consume, the happier the arms groups will be, and the more promising they will be

Miller nodded seriously and said, "The Chinese have an old saying that the brave wins when they meet on a narrow road." We have no other choice. ”

"Brave?" Panetta lamented inwardly: I finally understand that the brave are forced out-

"It was just perfect."

Zhang Xiaozhun received the battle report from the Air Force and exclaimed.

This large-scale bombing by the Chinese Air Force was simply a stroke of genius, especially the destruction of several airfields along the coast of the enemy.

Li Bufan and Li Songshan smiled at each other, Li Bufan said: "To put it bluntly, it's nothing special, that is, first use bombers to drop arson bombs, and then use J-2 dive bombing to accurately destroy the runway of the enemy's airfield, so that the enemy's planes cannot rise into the air to fight, and can only be bombed." ”

Zhang Xiaozhun said with a smile: "It's not easy, it's a miracle that you can locate the location of the enemy's airfield so accurately and grasp the timing so accurately." It's incredible that the interval between the bomber and the dive bombing is less than a minute, and then the bomber group bombs is less than three minutes. The enemy had no time to react in such a short period of time, and was completely reduced to a passive beating, and this kind of cooperation was simply seamless, and General Li Air Force was simply amazing. ”

Li Bufan and Li Songshan knew that if it weren't for the fact that there were base vehicles close to the coastal areas for reconnaissance and monitoring and to report information at any time, the Air Force would not have been able to achieve such a precise strike, and at least it would take several times as long to connect the attack. But the matter of the base car must not be leaked.

Li Songshan smiled and said: "Anyway, we have destroyed part of the enemy's air force and greatly reduced the pressure on the air force. I think that the enemy's air force is still evaluating the combat effectiveness of our air force by the air battle during the first battle of Assam half a year ago, and they will be very wrong. ”

Li Bufan and Zhang Xiaozhun both laughed, China's foundation is too thin, even if China has the world's best fighters, but for the time being, there is no world's largest and best pilot team, China's air force has rapidly expanded before, and the vast majority of pilots are unqualified rookies. But half a year has passed, and the rookie has become an old bird. You must know that in the past six months, although the Chinese Air Force has not continued large-scale sorties, aerial reconnaissance and occasional bombing are also a kind of exercise.

This is not only the growth of the Chinese Air Force, but even the training of the reserve pilot echelon of the Chinese Air Force is gradually on the right track. Under the pressure of the war, the entire nation has burst into potential, and the retired J-1 biplane fighters of the Chinese Air Force have all become trainer aircraft, and pilots are constantly being trained in the rear.

Zhang Xiaozhun said with a smile: "It is best to annihilate all the elite of the enemy's air force." It is said that the West is ready to jointly develop more advanced biplane fighters to compete with our J-2 Swallow, and we want to beat them, even if there are excellent aircraft, there are no excellent pilots. ”

Li Bufan smiled, he once thought that biplanes were king, but with the existence of Wu Di, a traverser, he knew that biplanes would be replaced. In addition to him and Wu's enemy, outsiders don't know that the so-called J-2 Swallow, a world-famous multi-functional fighter, is a big trap. According to his and Wu Di's plan, it is to use this base vehicle scientific research simulation system to modify the nearly perfect fighter many times, to hurt the Western world with its excellent performance, and to make the Western world think that the biplane will be the mainstream of development in the future, and desperately put all the cutting-edge forces into the research and development of the biplane. If there is a next round of the game, then Westerners will find that the original biplane is an incomparably huge pit, but they have already fallen into it and cannot climb out in a short time.

After boasting about the Air Force, Li Songshan said solemnly: "Commander-in-Chief, our arrangements should also be prepared." ”

Li Bufan hesitated for a moment and said, "Wait first." It is not too late to start after the reconnaissance planes have spotted the enemy's fleet. Our industrial capacity is still a short board, so we need to finish our work in one battle, and we need to fight this battle so that the other side cannot launch a strategic counterattack for at least a year, so that we can have enough manpower and material resources to 'plan for the city'. ”

"Understood!" Although Li Songshan and Zhang Xiaozhun are not very clear about the specific content of the "plan for soldiers to come to the city" for the time being, Li Bufan is so solemn, which shows that the matter is very important. And Li Bufan kept it a secret for the time being, and they didn't dare to ask more. (To be continued......)
