The combined fleet of the West rushed straight to Chittagong with great momentum, like an outlaw.

No matter how unwilling and regretful the American commander of the fleet, Panetta, was about to attack, it could not change the crisis that the fleet was about to face. Through this crisis, he finally understood that no matter how strong the US Navy is, in this era of giant ships and cannons, they will not be able to become the supremacy of the sea, because their tactics and combat literacy cannot keep up.

The fleet went straight to the location of the main forces of the Chinese Navy, which was the suggestion of the British Chief of Staff Miller.

"Did our plane take off?" Panetta's anxiety burned like fire, and she fidgeted.

Miller despised in his heart, and the other party was already the seventh to ask the same question, but he still replied: "Your Excellency, Commander, I have already told you just now, the plane has taken off ten minutes ago. ”

Panetta said "oh" and said in a trance: "Then when will our plane arrive?" ”

Miller said lightly: "About half an hour." We are now only fifty kilometers from Chittagong, we should thank God for help, there was a light rain just now, otherwise we would have been discovered by enemy planes long ago. I am sure that the Air Force will arrive in time before we engage the Chinese Navy. I think even if the Chinese find us now, their air force will not have time to strike at us. ”

Panetta was about to nod when he suddenly heard the sound of a motor in the sky, and then he heard a naval soldier on the warship exclaiming: "Airplane, Chinese plane." The frightened cries caused a panic among the officers and men on the warship.

Panetta didn't care about anything else, and Miller immediately rushed out of the command cabin to look into the sky. Sure enough, I saw a Chinese reconnaissance plane hovering in the sky, but it soon flew in the direction of Chittagong to the north.

Panetta shouted angrily: "Damn, the Chinese reconnaissance plane should be killed." ”

Miller shook his head and said, "It's useless." This reconnaissance plane of the other side was modified with J-2 Swallow fighters, and our seaplanes did not say that they could not catch up, but even if they caught up, they could almost only be said to be sent to death. ”

Panetta said hurriedly: "But then the position of our fleet will be exposed. ”

Miller sneered: "I think Your Excellency Commander has not had in-depth exchanges with the navy of your country and the Chinese side, and has not fought with the Chinese, you will never know how rampant the Chinese's planes are." God forbid that we were able to get close to the enemy fifty kilometers away and be discovered. "I think when he led the fleet in the South China Sea, the Chinese found him 600 kilometers away. Of course. At that time, the Chinese used the H-1 Thunderbird modified reconnaissance aircraft, not this one.

Panetta said anxiously, "So what should I do now?" The Chinese Air Force will arrive soon. ”

Miller said with some anger: "Your Excellency, you are the commander of the fleet, don't yell at the slightest little thing. That would be a loss of your majesty. He paused. Listen. The enemy's air force did not arrive so quickly, and our air force had absolutely no time to arrive and intercept it. Your performance like this will affect the morale of the entire fleet. If you don't want to be defeated and don't want to be a prisoner of the Chinese, then stay calm. ”

Although Miller was still trying to remind him, he was extremely disappointed. The timidity, cowardice, panic and other bad performances of the American generals made him gamble on the future full of disappointment, and his heart was extremely bleak, because he knew one sentence - he was not afraid of god-like enemies, and most of all pig-like teammates.

In his eyes, Panetta's performance is not even as good as a "pig", and only a country like the United States can have such a strange general, replaced by the British Empire, this kind of person has long been thrown away to clean the toilet, because the Royal Navy of the British Empire does not need waste. He believed that if the U.S. Navy and the Chinese Navy fought alone, even if the U.S. Navy was two or three times stronger than the Chinese Navy, I am afraid that it would be the Americans who would lose, because the U.S. Navy was like an emasculated man who lacked courage and dedication to battle, and a fleet without a military soul was like a rabble on the sea.

Based on Panetta's performance just now, if he was in the British Royal Navy, it would be enough to send him to court-martial, no matter how hard the background is, the best result is to be ordered to retire.

Miller looked at Panetta, who was trying to calm himself, and was extremely disappointed in his heart, and became more and more determined in his heart: with the development of aircraft, aircraft carriers will definitely be the new generation of sea supremacy, and the era of battleships will become history.

"Report, traces of the enemy fleet were found, which was only fifty kilometers from Chittagong."

Li Bufan, Li Songshan, and Zhang Xiaozhun were all taken aback, and after letting the staff officers go out, they stared at the sand table, they never expected that the Western Combined Fleet would be so close to them, and they had only been discovered until now.

The specific information was quickly gathered, which made them breathe a sigh of relief, not because they had relaxed their vigilance, but because it was actually raining lightly in this area at that time, which made reconnaissance difficult. It can also be seen that the impact of climate on war is incomparably huge, and a small mistake and change can lead to huge consequences.

Li Bufan said: "No matter what, I found it in time. ”

Zhang Xiaozhun said: "Commander-in-chief, is it time for our operation to begin?" ”

Li Bufan groaned and said, "Let's start." At the same time, the Lee Air Force Air Force was ordered to act immediately as planned. ”

Zhang Xiaozhun said solemnly: "Yes! ”

Radio waves came out one after another.

On the Tibetan River (Brahmaputra River), a fleet of hundreds of boats has been rapidly advancing westward, down the river.

These ships were littered with seals and warnings - no open fires. Because these ships are carrying huge oil tanks, according to the order, their fleet is to transport more than 100,000 tons of aviation gasoline to the Guwahati airfield, which is temporarily repaired on the front line, which is almost all the oil reserves of the Dibrugarh oil field so far.

Suddenly, a patrol boat in front of it rushed straight up the current at high speed, and that posture almost threatened to crash into the transport ship.

The convoy was taken aback and evaded urgently, but the ship hit the rocks, the oil tanks burst in the impact, and countless oil flows onto the river, while the transport ships behind were also in a panic, one after another rear-end collided, and countless oil tanks burst.

In a short time, the entire river was covered with fuel.

Such a drastic change was not only "stunned" by the Chinese patrol boat, but also by the transport fleet.

Chen Ping is a fisherman, known as the "fishing tyrant", this is not to say that he is domineering, but to say that every fishing is the best, absolutely the most, familiar with hydrology. He is shrewd and observant. He always felt that there was something wrong with this accident. The patrol boat seemed to have an "urgent military business" on the part of the fleet, but the fleet was so big that it was determined to take the other side and send it to the Judge Advocate General's Office.

Chen Ping is just a boatman who has been requisitioned, he can't care about this, but he thinks this "accident" is too much, right? How can all the ship's oil storage tanks break? With doubts he looked closely, and he wondered if there was a spy sabotage.

So, he carefully inspected the rupture of the oil storage tank, and the suspicion was even more serious, although these rupture marks were very "natural", and he could think that he thought of it after careful observation. So he couldn't sit still any longer, and immediately ran to the fleet command office and found the "boss" report.

The boss of the fleet is a colonel, and his expression seems to be a dead man's face all the time, which is intimidating: "Do you suspect that there is a spy sabotage?" ”

Chen Ping said affirmatively: "Yes, sir. This person is very clever in cheating, but I make a living on the water, and I have seen a lot of things about this ship, and some traces don't look like they can be made by loading a boat, they are definitely artificial. I dare vouch for my head. As a member of the water livelihood, he clearly felt the benefits of the country's strength. When the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China declined, the warships of the great powers rampaged in the Yangtze River, and many fishing boats were destroyed and killed. But after the rise of China, this kind of thing has become extinct, and a series of tax cuts, people's lives have become better, and as a good fisherman, his family has undergone great changes, and he has everything.

For this unprecedented recognition of the government, this time the government recruited fishermen to run boats, and he came voluntarily. He hopes that the country will win the war, and his good life can go on forever. For this reason, he never wants spies to sabotage and cause problems in the war.

The colonel waved his hand expressionlessly, and several soldiers immediately set him up.

Chen Ping was taken aback: "Sir, what are you doing here?" What I say is true. ”

The colonel said lightly: "Whether it's true or not, I won't know until I investigate." I'm sorry to wronged you first. You must tell me now, who else knows about this? I don't want your inferences to circulate and startle the snake. ”

Chen Ping breathed a sigh of relief and said immediately: "No." I reported it to you as soon as I found out. ”

The colonel nodded, "Very good." You can stay here in peace, and I guarantee your safety whether there is a spy or not. You can rest assured that I am from the Commander-in-Chief Guard, and I will never be careless of human life. ”

Chen Ping was even more relieved and nodded vigorously.

Soon, an electric wave emanated from the fleet. At Dibrugel's headquarters, Li Bufan, Li Songshan, and Zhang Xiaozhun all looked at the telegram in amazement.

"Actually seen out?" Zhang Xiaozhun said in disbelief, "This guy named Chen Ping is amazing." ”

Li Bufan smiled and said: "It seems that my Chinese folk Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger." Fortunately, only he could see it, and he had immediately controlled it. Even if others have suspicions, they are only suspicions, and they can only say that there is a problem and that some of the oil tanks have burst. ”

Li Songshan nodded and said: "There are so many people here, it's not strange that there are spies bought by the enemy, even if some people don't want to sell the country, but get some money from selling some news, it is possible to leak the news." However, in such a short period of time, I believe that it is impossible for them to figure out the truth, and when they find out, it will be too late. ”

Li Bufan nodded, and suddenly asked, "Has the Air Force been dispatched?" ”

"It's already gone!" (To be continued......)
