Chapter 258: Air Raid on Portsmouth Shipyard

In any case, APEC is an alliance to be reckoned with, and despite their claims of only economic cooperation, the countries of South and Central America, in particular, are nervous and expanding their military capabilities.

The three countries hastened to meet with the Brazilian leadership, believing that the creation of the Asia-Pacific region would be the beginning of China's overt intervention in South America, which would pose a great threat to them.

Under the leadership of the United States, the Inter-American Economic Cooperation (AX) was rapidly established, with more member countries than the Asia-Pacific region, including most of the countries in South America and Central America, and the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, and Colombia became members of the council, followed by Venezuela and other member states.

The will and plan announced by the United States are not as good as those of the Asia-Pacific region at all, and the countries are united only on a temporary basis, and the United States is an economic and industrial power, and Argentina and other countries do not want the market to be completely occupied by the United States, so the United States is only a temporary alliance.

There is no doubt that this move by the United States is aimed at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation established by China, and the purpose is to maintain the current situation in the Americas and prevent China from interfering too much in the affairs of the Americas.

The establishment of the two major economic cooperation countries made the Entente and its allies feel the pressure, but at the same time, they also relaxed a little, and China and the United States were the most willing to see on the bar, and they would probably sing with joy if war broke out between the two countries.

On the other hand, the two camps are also actively co-opting these two organizations that have just been formed, so that one can suddenly turn the tide of the European war, and the other can dominate the earth, and it is no wonder that the two camps are not moved.

Time flies, two months have passed in a blink of an eye, and many major events have happened during this period, but the European war has not stopped.

Fuso had surrendered unconditionally to Huaxia in mid-August 1914, and Yamaguchi Aritomo and others were tried by the court and sentenced to death, and the emperor was changed to Tenno, and the Fuso royal family was imprisoned in Fuso Kyoto City.

Shikoku Island became independent from Fuso, and the shogunate government was formed, and the country was called the Toyi Republic, and the ninth generation of the Tokugawa family lived in Tokugawa Ieda as the president, and the new government after the surrender of the Fuso government recognized the independence of Toi.

After the surrender of Fuso, the islands of Tsushima and the area south of Hiroshima were ceded to Goryeo, and the islands in the northeastern waters of Hokkaido were ceded to Huaxia, and the Fuso Sea was renamed the Sea of Korea at the strong request of Goryeo.

Huaxia and Goryeo had the power to garrison Fuso, and the number of Fuso's troops must also be within the number set by Huaxia, and Fuso paid tribute to Huaxia.

In addition, with the support of the Chinese people, Fuso was divided into several warlords, which were very similar to the previous Huaxia, often attacking each other for the sake of population and profit, and did not obey the government's orders at all.

Fusang's fate was already doomed, as a defeated country, they had no choice, they could only survive for a long time, and it was already a great luck that they did not destroy the country.

For more than two months, nothing has happened in APEC, and almost all of it has been economic cooperation, which has vigorously promoted the development of several countries. The US Economic and Economic Organization, on the other hand, has been quarreling all the time, and there has been no substantive progress at all, and in the final analysis, several South American countries do not dare to fully trust the United States and have a grudge against it.

In the European war, the Allies completely occupied most of the territory, and the troops were under the city of Toulouse, and the two sides gathered more than 4 million troops, and the war was about to break out.

Even if the coalition forces have bombers and tanks comparable to the Huaxia Fire Dragon fighters and first-generation tanks, they can be said to be almost the same as the allies in terms of performance, but they are not the opponents of the allies at all in terms of numbers.

At this time, most of France fell, and it was impossible to make bombers and tanks with all its might, so it could only rely on the desperate production of Britain and Portugal and Spain.

The British government, which was afraid of death, deployed a large number of bombers and reconnaissance planes on the mainland, and the number was almost comparable to that of the front line, but there was still no progress in submarines, and Huaxia directly refused to sell submarine drawings, and they were helpless.

………………

In the British English Channel, a large number of patrol ships flying the British flag and the naval flag were patrolling, and suddenly there was a roar of engines in the air, at first the British soldiers thought that their own bombers were rushing back, but when they picked up the binoculars, they found that it was not their own plane at all, but German bombers.

"Quick, report the news, a large number of enemy planes have been spotted near the Isle of Wight, and they are flying towards Portsmouth!"

After receiving the information, the British government decided to send reconnaissance planes and told the planes stationed along the English Channel coast to dare to come to the aid and intercept the enemy planes.

Portsmouth, because there are several large shipyards here, and all of them are important factories that cooperate with the military to produce warships for Britain, so an air force unit composed of ten reconnaissance planes is specially stationed here to defend the security here.

A large group of British reconnaissance planes frantically rushed towards the German fleet this time, looking like they were menacing. Because of the drawings of the Huaxia bomber, Britain successfully produced a large number of bomber engines, and then installed them on the modified reconnaissance aircraft, which greatly improved the attack power and performance of the reconnaissance aircraft.

In the past half a month, the new-type reconnaissance plane has successfully blocked several German air raids and shot down a German bomber, and Germany does not dare to come to the British coast every day to fight the autumn breeze.

The German air force attacked this time with more than 50 planes, including 20 reconnaissance planes, 10 bombers, and 20 fighters. The bombers were the most bulky, but they were placed at the front by the Luftwaffe, followed by reconnaissance planes, and fighters at the rear.

The German fighter was a Fokker E.I. aircraft, officially known as a warhead fighter, the aircraft was equipped with a firing coordinator, and the machine gun was fixed to the head of the fuselage, which fired through the rotating surface of the propeller in the nose without the bullet hitting the rotating blade. In this way, the shooter in the back seat was eliminated, and both the flight and the shooting were done by the pilot.

The emergence of this kind of aircraft is due to the research of German and Huaxia aircraft, they successfully developed the shooting coordinator, which greatly increased the attack power of the aircraft, and after the secret research of Germany, they created a more advanced coordinator.

"Only bombers? Wait, what kind of plane is behind you, why haven't you seen it, is it a new type of aircraft, is this the basis for them not to be afraid of reconnaissance aircraft strikes? ”

"Make a move and tell the brothers to be careful of the plane behind the Germans, don't be careless!"

"Haha, the Germans' bombers are here to kill again, it would be nice to shoot down a few more, let them taste our awesomeness!"

"What? Enemy planes are not all bombers, there are other planes behind them, be careful of them? ”

Although Britain has had bombers for a short time, they have also owned reconnaissance planes for a long time, and the transmission of various information is often transmitted through the actions of the aircraft, and over time they also have their own set of transmission methods.

The lead plane slowed down after rolling a few times, which meant to be careful of the enemy aircraft in front, especially the enemy aircraft behind.

More than 30 reconnaissance planes with attack capability pounced on the attacking German air force units and encircled them from three sides, left, center, and right.

Suddenly, the bombers in front of the Germans slowed down, the reconnaissance planes behind pulled up, and the warhead fighters flew out to the wings, and in a short time the bombers retreated behind.

German reconnaissance planes and warhead fighters split into three directions and headed for the British aircraft units, and when the British planes came into their range, they opened fire decisively. I saw warhead fighters spraying out from the nose of the plane, and a series of fire snakes crossed to form a net towards the cover of the British reconnaissance plane.

The British reconnaissance planes were all fired by the shooters in the back seat with pistols, rifles and machine guns, and the accuracy was very poor, the shooting distance was short, and the shooters were easily affected by various influences, such as clouds and fog and low temperatures at high altitudes.

After seeing the bullet nets of the German planes, the British reconnaissance planes panicked, and the bullets hit their fuselage, and they could only keep rolling sideways to dodge, but it also made it impossible for the shooters in the back seat to shoot.

The German reconnaissance plane was also equipped with a machine gun in the nose, but there was only one, and the attack power was far less powerful than that of the warhead fighter, so it was very cautious when dealing with the British reconnaissance plane.

In addition to rolling, the British reconnaissance planes also wanted to pull up to avoid shooting, but they did not expect that the German fighters were faster and more experienced than them, and they were always biting them tightly.

"Fuck, the fuel tank has been hit, hurry back and land, or we'll all be finished!"

A British reconnaissance plane was hit in the fuel tank and made a somersault to return but was chased by German fighters, and the temperature generated by the bullet rubbing the air caused the diesel fuel that was leaking out to catch fire instantly, and the whole plane exploded.

Explosions rang out one after another, and the British reconnaissance planes were constantly blown up by German fighters, and the propellers of many reconnaissance planes were destroyed and fell.

This was simply a one-sided massacre, and the British reconnaissance planes were no match for the German fighters at all, constantly falling.

The German bombers that were originally behind had already crossed the battlefield and flew to the shipyard in Portsmouth on the shore, and the British reconnaissance planes wanted to intercept but were dragged by the German fighters.

Thousands of soldiers with anti-aircraft guns stood by the sound of air raids over Portsmouth.

"Boom ......"

Ten bombers flew over Portsmouth, confirmed the target, and dived down, at which point ten British reconnaissance planes came out from below and began to attack the bombers.

The 10 reconnaissance planes stationed in Portsmouth also knew that the enemy planes were coming, and the local air force, which did not know what the enemy planes were thinking, did not go to help, but continued to guard Portsmouth according to the previous orders of their superiors.

"Boom ......"

Anti-aircraft guns on the ground attacked, but the shells were almost always missed, because it was difficult for the human eye to keep up with the speed of the aircraft.

Ten reconnaissance planes each looked for a target, assigned all ten bombers, and then excitedly met the enemy plane.

The German bombers did not give these British reconnaissance planes a chance to keep a certain distance from them, not to let them get closer, and to take them around in circles.

More than 10 minutes later, five warhead fighters were the first to arrive, and without saying a word, they attacked the British reconnaissance planes, and the five bombers took the opportunity to break away from the battle and swooped down on the shipyard below, and the bombs also fell immediately.

"Boom! Bang! Bang! ”

The shipyard below burst into flames in the explosion, and the warships under construction were also blown out of several holes, some even to pieces of broken iron.
