Chapter 527: Finished Abuse
Not to mention the Ottoman Empire, even any of the warships of the British and German naval fleets today do not have a perfect air defense system or standard air defense weapons for the time being, and now both the Allies and the Central Powers are trying their best to develop anti-aircraft weapons that are specialized in the air, including high-speed machine guns and high-speed guns.
Since China has already developed two antiaircraft machine guns and two antiaircraft guns, and both of them have been tested for nearly a year, and the air defense effect is still very good, the British side quickly sent people to contact the Chinese military after receiving the news, and asked to purchase a large number of antiaircraft machine guns and antiaircraft guns, which will be used for ground air defense on the one hand, and for naval air defense on the other, which can save not only a lot of money on R&D, but also a lot of time, as long as they are faster than the Germans in time, they will be able to take advantage, it has to be said that the British are really smart and know how to use the resources that can be used with a qiē.
For China, it is not impossible to sell anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns to the British, not only to the British, but also to other countries, as long as the other party can afford the price, but the other party's purchase quantity must reach a certain scale, if only a few hundred or dozens of purchases, then China will not sell it anyway, at this point Xiao Zhenlei gave a clear instruction to the military, each country needs to purchase more than 4,000 anti-aircraft machine guns, and anti-aircraft guns must be more than 2,000, The external argument is that if this purchase volume cannot be reached. Huaguo can't even recover the R&D funds, so why sell it?
The British are very single. Without saying a word, the deposit of 5,000 anti-aircraft machine guns and 3,000 anti-aircraft guns was directly lost, although the French had already occupied the homeland by the Germans. But it still has colonies in North Africa, the naval fleet is still there, and it also needs anti-aircraft weapons, and it has ordered 4,000 anti-aircraft machine guns and 2,000 anti-aircraft guns, and the Tsarist side needs it even more, and the Tsarist side has been bombed badly by the Germans for a period of time, and the ground troops are frightened as long as they see the German fighters, so they also ordered 4,000 anti-aircraft machine guns and two front-door anti-aircraft guns.
With these countries taking the lead, other Entente countries successively ordered a batch of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. Even the United States has ordered 5,000 antiaircraft machine guns and 2,000 antiaircraft guns to equip ground forces and ships, but has also ordered 300 warplanes to prepare for the vigorous development of the air force. The French saw that the Americans had ordered fighter planes, although France's territory was occupied by the Germans, but France still had colonies in North Africa, and considered that they could buy some fighters to protect the security of the colony's airspace, and they could also help the British Air Force fight, besides, France trained many pilots before the war. Now those pilots are too idle, it is better to find something to do for them, so they also ordered 300 fighters from Huaguo, and the Tsarist Russia was not far behind. It also ordered 300 planes from Huaguo, and as a result, Huaguo's arms business was booming. Domestic arsenals and aircraft factories are open 24 hours a day without stopping, and they have made a lot of money.
On the sea. The bombing is still going on. After a real combat bombing experience and countless bombing trainings, the pilots of each fighter plane showed that they were calm and unhurried. Many pilots regarded this operation as a training exercise, and their mentality was extremely relaxed, but they were also extremely excited.
"Allah, what have I seen and what have befallen us?" An officer on a battleship of the Ottoman Navy was stupid.
The officers and soldiers around him were all scurrying around, the warplanes of the Chinese country were shuttling back and forth in the sky, and bombs were falling from the sky like hens laying eggs, some of them exploded in the sea water, and some of them fell into the sky, and some of them landed on the ships, and everyone around the explosion was overturned to the ground, and the deck was full of potholes after the explosion, and there were corpses and broken corpses everywhere, and the smell of blood wafted in the air, mixed with the smell of salty humidity and gunsmoke.
Eight warplanes have been seriously damaged and are currently slowly sinking, and many more seriously damaged ships are no longer able to resist. Faced with this situation, the commander of the fleet of the Ottoman Navy thought that this time the fleet was only afraid of bad luck, fortunately half of the ships' power systems had not been damaged, and they could still escape, but if the sky was bombed by enemy fighters, they were afraid that they would not be able to escape.
The commander of the Ottoman naval fleet thought of the land-based air force that had been transferred to Damascus, where there were a hundred fighters, and if those fighters could rush to support immediately, perhaps the naval fleet would be saved, and this sea area was not too far from Damascus, so a radio wave was sent from the flagship of the Ottoman naval fleet.
After receiving the telegram, the commander of the Ottoman Air Force in Damascus did not dare to slack off, and immediately ordered all fighters to take off and fly to the sea where the Ottoman naval fleet was located to support.
At this time, the Chinese expeditionary fleet was not far from the Ottoman naval fleet, and the opponent's fleet could be seen from the naked eye.
After more than an hour of bombing, the bomber group basically finished throwing ammunition and began to return, after all the fighters returned, Shen Shoukun immediately ordered all the naval guns to open fire, and at this time the remnants of the Ottoman naval fleet also discovered the Chinese naval expeditionary fleet.
Since all the ships of the Chinese Naval Expeditionary Fleet are new-type warships, and the power and range of the naval guns are much higher than those of the old naval guns of the Ottoman Naval Fleet, after the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet carried out two rounds of salvo correction and artillery bombardment, only a few ships of the Ottoman Naval Fleet opened fire, and the firepower was pitifully small, all because the previous bombardment blew up most of the opponent's turrets.
The remnants of the Ottoman naval fleet saw that this was not a level of confrontation at all, and immediately fled, and the Chinese fleet immediately launched a pursuit, and the carrier-based aircraft group on the aircraft carrier Gaozu returned to land one after another to refuel and reload, while the carrier-based aircraft group on the other aircraft carrier Taizu was ordered to start taking off one after another to prepare to continue bombing the Ottoman naval fleet.
Previously, all the Ottoman naval fleets had been heavily damaged, even if they were still lightly injured, but at this time they could not be compared with the previous ones in terms of power, and in terms of speed, the old warships themselves could not be compared with the new warships, and the speed was slower after the injury.
The Ottoman naval fleet was soon caught up, and the naval guns on the ships of the Chinese expeditionary fleet began to fire salvos again, round after round, and soon there were Ottoman ships that were hit, and a burst of fire came out of the hit ship, and then the smoke rose, and the Ottoman ships that were already billowing in smoke were damaged even more severely, and several salvos came down, and several ships were sunk, and the Ottoman naval fleet, which originally had more than 30 ships, Now there are only ten faltering ships still stubbornly navigating the sea.
Seeing that the losses of their own ships were increasing, and the Chinese fleet was unscathed, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and perhaps it would be completely wiped out before its own air force, so the commander of the Ottoman naval fleet ordered the surrender with a white flag, in an attempt to delay the time and wait for his land-based air force to come to support.
"Sir, the other party has hoisted a white flag!" The operational staff officers reported to Shen Shoukun and Fang Datong.
Shen Shoukun put down the telescope to ask Fang Datong's opinion: "Old Fang, what do you think?" ”
Fang Datong said: "Since everyone has surrendered with a white flag, we can't pretend not to continue to attack without seeing it, if it is spread internationally, then our accusation of massacre will spread, let's accept surrender, in order to prevent them from cheating, we should be careful when receiving ships!" ”
"Hmm!" Shen Shoukun nodded, and said to the communication staff officer: "Order the other party to turn off all the ship's boilers, put the shells and torpedoes in the turret into the ammunition depot, and assemble all on the deck to wait for our reception!" ”
"Yes, sir!"
The Chinese fleet began to approach the remnants of the Ottoman Navy, and the distance of ten kilometers was not short, and even the maximum speed took some time.
After the fleet sailed for twenty minutes, it was already very close to the opposing fleet, all the fighters on the Taizu were hovering in the sky, and the Chinese fleet was about to start receiving ships, at this time the communications staff officer made an urgent report: "Sir, the No. 3 reconnaissance plane reported that a large number of unidentified fighters were found in the airspace of fifty kilometers to the northeast, and the number reached one hundred!" ”
Shen Shoukun and Fang Datong's faces changed greatly when they heard this, and after the two glanced at each other, Shen Shoukun immediately ordered: "Order, order all the large and small guns of the fleet to fire together to Lao Tzu to sink all the other ships, not a single one will be left!" Order all the ship's air defense systems to be ready and fire at the invading enemy fighters at any time, order the Taizu bombers and torpedo planes to return to storage immediately, and let all the fighters of the Taizu and Gaozu take off immediately to meet the enemy bomber group! ”
"Yes, sir!"
Shen Shoukun and Fang Datong had already expected this earlier, so they were also psychologically prepared. Although the number of fighters on the two aircraft carriers is not much, but there are forty in total, generally each aircraft carrier takes off fifteen fighters, leaving five for standby, and now the situation is urgent only by ordering all fighters to take to the air to meet the enemy's combat can be sure, he knows very well that the opponent's fleet cannot all be fighters, which does not conform to the principle of air force operations, after all, the role of fighters can only be used in air combat, and the role of ground combat is much smaller than that of bombers, and the Ottoman Air Force has a maximum of forty fighters is already very remarkable, The others should be bombers, but in air combat the combat capabilities of bombers are too small and simply cannot be an opponent for fighters.
