The combined fleet of the West swooped down on Chittagong with great vigour.

Li Haijun looked at the smoke of the chimneys rising from the enemy fleet in the distance with a telescope, and although he could not directly see the whole picture of the enemy's fleet for the time being, he could imagine the size of the other side.

Sharp battle sirens stirred the skies over Chittagong's main Chinese fleet, and everyone knew that an inevitable and difficult sea battle was coming.

Sa Zhenbing came to Li Haijun's side and said, "Commander, give the order, we have made all the preparations." ”

Haijun Li nodded and said, "Order the fleet to retreat along the coast to the east." ”

Sa Zhenbing was almost dumbfounded, and said with wide eyes: "Retreat, retreat? "Commander, but the commander-in-chief's order is for us to stop the enemy from shelling our coastal positions at all costs, and if we withdraw, our entire coastal positions will be exposed to the enemy's naval artillery strikes, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be in danger." ”

Li Haijun said lightly: "I know this very well. If they want to carry out artillery strikes on our coastal troops, they must be as close to the shore as possible. Old Admiral Sa, it's not that our Li Navy is arrogant, our capital ships are almost captured by the enemy, how long have we been training? Even if every naval officer and sailor is a genius, it is impossible to compare it with the training system of the navies of the great powers for decades. Not to mention the fact that the enemy's capital ships are one and a half times more numerous than ours, and with normal operations, we have almost no chance at all. ”

Sa Zhenbing frowned and said, "You mean, a sortie when the enemy's navy is preparing to shell the army on our shore?" ”

Li Haijun smiled and said, "That's pretty much what it means." In short, only offshore operations. We have a chance to win. ”

Sa Zhenbing frowned deeply: "Offshore combat? However, we didn't have time to install fortified artillery in Chittagong. ”

Li Haijun sneered: "We really don't have fortress guns, otherwise the enemy navy would not dare to approach. However, we need to know one thing, and it will be solved. ”

"What's the matter?" Sa Zhenbing was surprised.

Li Haijun said proudly: "In any case, after this battle, East Bengal will definitely be under the control of our army." ”

Sa Zhenbing knew very well that the so-called Battle of East Bengal was launched by the coalition forces in order to save the Xiafei Burmese Front, and the time was so rushed that the Chinese side would not have time to fully prepare troops and materials, which also made the enemy's idea possible. But as long as it drags on a little longer. The Chinese army pressed the border. The Western coalition forces have no chance of victory, and the best outcome is to retreat to the line of the Tibetan South River-Tista River, relying on natural dangers to block the powerful offensive of the Chinese National Defense Forces, for which East Bengal will inevitably be in the pocket of the Chinese side.

But. For a moment, he couldn't figure out what this had to do with naval operations. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration occurred in my head. Shocked: "Commander, are you?"

Li Haijun nodded with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth: "It's good to know." Immediately order the fleet to retreat to the east! ”

Although the ships of the Chinese Navy cannot understand it, the military orders are like a mountain. Soon the fleet moved east, and the gateway to Chittagong was opened.

Panetta and Miller never dreamed that they had mustered up their strength and finally mustered up the courage to fight to Chittagong, only to find that the main force of the Chinese Navy had withdrawn, and it was like a punch with all their strength to smash the air, which was extremely uncomfortable.

However, this also made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, and as soon as this breath was relaxed, the desperate momentum was gone.

The vigor in the Chinese art of war refers to this momentum. When this momentum escapes, it is impossible to condense again.

"What should I do?" Panetam looked at Miller.

Miller's heart at the moment is extremely complicated, as the representative of the British Navy in the Combined Fleet, he knows that Dannatt planned this battle for multiple purposes, the most important of which is to use China's navy to consume the strength of the US Navy, you must know that the main naval forces of Britain and France have almost lost everything, and the main force of the US Navy is only because the South China Sea Combined Fleet lost less than a quarter in the bombing of Da Nang, and the US Navy is now the world's largest scale.

He wanted to order the fleet to pursue, but he knew that the Chinese Navy attached great importance to speed, although their fleet was almost composed of warships in the "post-dreadnought" era, but the speed was still inferior to the Chinese Navy.

He knows that the Chinese art of war has repeatedly emphasized that soldiers are noble and fast. And it's not just the Army, it's the Navy as well.

Miller took a long breath and said: "A large number of elite Chinese troops are deployed along the coast of Bangladesh, and the top level of the Chinese side will definitely not watch them destroyed by our naval guns. As soon as we launch an artillery strike on the shore, the Chinese will definitely ask their main naval forces to come and stop it. ”

Panetta nodded and said, "Well, I will immediately order the fleet to sail into the coast and launch an artillery bombardment of the enemy's troops on the shore." As he was talking, he heard the countless officers and men on the warship shouting from the heaven-shattering cheers.

Panetta and Miller glanced at each other, and when they came to the lookout of the command module, the two huge groups of planes over East Bengal had been instantly intertwined, and only in this moment they saw several planes explode in the air, several planes fell with thick smoke, and they also saw the parachute flowers of the pilot

"Great!" Panetta exclaimed excitedly, "The Air Force has entangled the Chinese Air Force, and our skies are safe." ”

Miller sighed secretly in his heart, after all, the combined fleet is the power of the coalition forces, and he hopes to use the American fleet to consume China's main fleet, but it does not mean that he wants the American fleet to die meaninglessly. At that moment, he said: "Your Excellency, Commander, we also have to hurry up. ”

Panetta nodded in high spirits and said loudly, "I order"

Thousands of warplanes fought fiercely over East Bengal, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Although fighter planes crashed almost every moment, in reality the air battle between the two sides was not a dead end.

Due to the destruction of some airfields and planes by the Western coalition forces, the air force of the Western coalition no longer has the certainty of victory because of the difference in the performance of the aircraft, and the orders they received are mainly to entangle the Chinese air force. Protect the security of the battlefield and naval airspace. For them, buying time is victory.

On the Chinese side, because Li Bufan and Li Air Force took into account the limitations of China's industrial capacity and the comparison of the industrial production capacity of the two sides, they were not prepared to compete with the other side's air force at all, but adopted the plan of drawing salaries from the bottom of the kettle. For this reason, the order received by the Chinese Air Force is also entanglement.

As a result, although the fierce battle of thousands of planes flying up and down in the sky over East Bengal seemed to be extremely fierce. But in reality, the losses on both sides are far less huge than imagined.

Both sides have the idea of preserving strength. Air Force battles are almost always touch-and-go.

But this is not absolute.

Gao Zhihang was extremely excited, and in the first wave of hedging, he directly killed an enemy plane, and then quickly rose into the sky and soared to an altitude of more than 6,000 meters. Then it dived down at high speed.

Gao Zhihang's wingman kept shouting: "Gao Zhihang." You madman. What exactly do you want to do? ”

Gao Zhihang shouted excitedly: "You deflated calf, what are you talking about, can you still eat the meat that reaches your mouth?" If you're cowardly. Just get out of the morning. If you want to make meritorious contributions, follow Lao Tzu, don't worry, Lao Tzu will leave you some soup. ”

The wingman was furious: "Why do you eat meat and drink soup." If it weren't for my Ma Fei helping you make false testimony back then, saying that you were eighteen years old, you might still be playing with mud at home now. How can you say that according to age, Lao Tzu is also your brother, respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation, do you know? ”

Gao Zhihang said "bah" and said: "Don't be ashamed, aren't you three years older than me?" Let me tell you, there is no elder or younger, and the best is the first. Lao Tzu is more powerful than you, so Lao Tzu is a long machine, and you are a wingman. Stop talking nonsense, Fortune City. Gao Zhihang had already stared at an enemy plane, adjusted his position during the dive, and directly discounted the opponent's wing with a point shot, and the enemy plane lost its balance when it boarded

Gao Zhihang took advantage of the momentum to dive to a low altitude at high speed, because at that height, there were many enemy planes rushing over, if they were pulled up directly, they might be bitten, and when they saw that it was safe, they immediately shouted: "See no, the second one." Immediately afterwards, he saw Ma Fei's plane directly hit an enemy plane and explode in the air, and then dived down.

Ma Fei said disdainfully on the radio: "Lao Tzu also killed one." When it explodes in the air, it will kill with one direct hit. ”

Gao Zhihang smiled: "That's good, let's compare." ”

"Who's afraid of whom!"

The planes were extremely fast and fast, especially the two air force hedges, which penetrated the aircraft groups of both sides in an instant.

"It's coming!" Gao Zhihang quickly pulled up a roll, bit the tail of the enemy plane, and fired a point, but he didn't expect the opponent's enemy plane to seem to be a veteran, and found him, and a roll dodged, which made him angry: "Deflated calf, actually wasting Lao Tzu's bullets?" I'm going to kill you. But then Ma Fei's smug laughter was heard, but he saw an enemy plane shot down by Ma Fei again.

Gao Zhihang gritted his teeth fiercely, and also rolled over, biting the enemy plane again. However, the enemy plane was unusually keen, and in just a moment, it rolled on its side to avoid it.

Vic was a hero of the French Air Force in World War I, and had shot down nineteen enemy planes, although he did not shoot down the most fighters, but he thought that except for the "red baron" of the Luftwaffe, no one was technically his opponent, but now he was actually bitten by a Chinese air force.

Vic made more than a dozen rolls in a row, wanting to shake off the other party, and then bite the other party back to shoot the other party down, but he never dreamed that although the other party's technology was a little jerky, but his comprehension was extremely high.

There was a "creaking" sound from the plane, and Vic knew that the "Napoleon" fighter he was piloting had reached the limit of its endurance, and that the plane might fall apart if it rolled at such a high intensity. Gritted his teeth: "I don't believe you can bite it all the time." At that moment, he quickly dived down at high speed, and when he looked sideways, the other party also quickly chased and dived down.

A sinister smile flashed at the corner of Vic's mouth: "Come on." "Dive, dive, and dive again, knowing that it was close to the ground for a hundred meters before it was quickly pulled up, the inertia of the plane made him almost close to the ground twenty or thirty meters high and pulled up, he was about to see the opponent's plane directly crash into the ground, but unexpectedly the opponent's plane actually pulled up, almost close to the ground.

"Damn it!" Vic cursed, because the noise and tremor of the plane were more violent, and he knew that it was not that the technology was not good, but that the plane was much worse than the other party. didn't dare to fight at the moment, and got into the other formations.

Gao Zhihang was so nervous that he was sweating profusely, but he found that the other party had rushed into the other teams, and he couldn't find it at once, so he scolded angrily: "Dog, count your fate!" "I almost hit the ground just now, which made him feel a little uneasy, and he also felt that his skills needed to be improved (to be continued......
