963 Total annihilation of the Indian fleet
The Wyvern fighter encountered the clouds and immediately retreated, and the battle came to an end.
This battle took place near Preparis Island in Burma, so it is called the "Preparis Island Battle", this battle, is the first direct dialogue between aircraft and battleships in human history, although the Chinese fleet and Japan have fought a sea and air battle, but that time it is an aircraft aircraft carrier converted from a merchant ship.
As a result of this battle, the Chinese side lost five Nine Flying Dragon fighters, four of which were shot down in battle, one crashed because of the pilot's spatial disorientation, and the British fleet, two large cruisers were sunk, and the remaining six battleships were all damaged, of which two final-class battleships were seriously injured and had to return to the port of Calcutta for overhaul.
The cumulonimbus cloud soon came to the sky over the Huaxia fleet, and it rained, and in such weather, the Nine Sky Wyvern fighters would never be able to take off, so Liu Daming ordered the Huaxia fleet to advance to the military port in southern Burma and temporarily anchor.
The heavy rain continued, and the military operations of the Chinese fleet were forced to be suspended, and at this time, the news of the crushing defeat of the British fleet, like wings, flew around the world, and the world was shocked.
Before the war, military experts from Britain, Germany, and the United States unanimously agreed that the Huaxia Fleet would be completely inferior in the confrontation with the British fleet, because the performance of the final-class battleships was several times higher than that of the Dynasty-class battleships, and the final-class battleships were large battleships equipped with 380 mm caliber guns, while the main gun caliber of the Dynasty-class battleships was only 240 mm.
Although there were rockets on the Dynasty-class battleships, in the eyes of countries such as Britain, Germany, and the United States, rockets were equivalent to the "sideways" of naval warfare, and they were "wild roads", which were not enough to determine the victory or defeat at sea.
In the analysis of military experts, no one mentioned the role of aircraft at all, and they all believed that the Chinese Empire, like them, did not regard aircraft as main combat equipment, and the Chinese Empire only regarded aircraft as reconnaissance equipment.
And now, military strategists from all over the world suddenly discovered that the planes of the Chinese Empire were so powerful that even the most powerful final-class battleships were no match.
Countries around the world hurriedly want to develop airplanes and use airplanes as main combat equipment, but it is too late, and the Nine Flying Dragon fighters have thrown them far away, and the level of aircraft research and development and manufacturing of the Chinese Empire is beyond the reach of all countries in the world.
At this time, all the planes in the world were double-layer wings, and factories in various countries wanted to replace them with single-layer wings, but found that there was no theoretical basis and experimental data at all.
The planes of all countries in the world are still wooden, and the Nine Flying Dragon fighters are already all-metal, and a large number of lightweight aluminum alloys are used, but countries around the world have no technical reserves for the smelting and processing of aluminum alloys, and they cannot come up with products in a short time.
As for other aspects, such as the development of machine guns and cannon sights, all countries in the world are blank, and all countries in the world want to come up with a type of aircraft that surpasses or basically reaches the performance level of the Nine Flying Dragon fighters, and it will take at least eight years without stealing the secrets of the Nine Dragons fighters.
At this time, there are only two countries in the world that have developed aircraft carriers, one is Japan, and the other is the Chinese Empire, but the aircraft carriers of these two countries are converted with large merchant ships, which shows the difficulty of manufacturing aircraft carriers.
Even if it is to convert an aircraft carrier with a large merchant ship, it will take two years for the Chinese Empire, and it will take at least three to four years for the countries of the world to refit an aircraft carrier, and during this time, the newly manufactured aircraft carrier of the Chinese Empire will also be launched, and the Chinese Empire will still have a technological advantage at that time.
The aircraft advantage of the Chinese Empire is at least ten years ahead of all countries in the world, and these ten years are enough for Lin Fei to gain a foothold in the Middle East and dominate the world.
Lin Fei was bound to wipe out the British fleet, because the fleet of two final-class battleships and two large cruisers could also pose a huge threat to the transportation lines of the Chinese Empire.
Although Lin Fei hid the idea of killing them all, Lin Fei did not take direct action, Lin Fei summoned the British ambassador and launched a persuasion offensive against the British ambassador, and asked the British ambassador to tell the British fleet to surrender to the Chinese Empire immediately, otherwise the Chinese Empire would launch a fatal blow to it.
Of course, the British ambassador would not let the British fleet surrender, so the British ambassador categorically rejected Lin Fei's persuasion to surrender, Lin Fei did not care, and told the British ambassador to be patient, please wait patiently for the news of the total destruction of the British fleet.
On 29 April, the heavy rain that had lasted for four days stopped, and the Chinese fleet was again dispatched to look for the British fleet.
The Chinese Empire sent two planes to search to the west and south, because Burma to the north and the territory of the Chinese Empire to the east, it was absolutely impossible for the British fleet to move in either direction.
After a day's search, a Wyvern fighter spotted the Expedition, a battleship of the last class that had been damaged earlier, and was being escorted by a small destroyer heading towards Calcutta.
Lin Gecheng immediately ordered the Nine Wyvern fighters to dispatch and sink the Expedition, and forty Nine Wyvern fighters were dispatched at the same time, this time the Nine Wyvern fighters did not carry torpedoes, because the final battleship was too seriously injured to waste torpedoes for it, these Nine Wyvern fighters carried bombs, large-caliber aerial bombs.
The Nine Dragons fighter jets dropped aerial bombs on the Expedition, and the aerial bombs did not only have a direct hit on the battleship to produce lethality, the aerial bombs fell on the side of the battleship, and the shock wave generated by the explosion could also cause great damage to the battleship.
There were five more anti-aircraft guns on board the Expedition, and six small-caliber anti-aircraft guns on the small destroyer, and there was a fierce battle between the two sides, in which two Wyvern fighters were damaged, and the small destroyer and the battleship Expedition were all sunk.
Two hours after the sinking of the two British battleships, a Dynasty-class battleship rushed to the area where the battle took place and rescued the British sailors who had fallen into the water, and after interrogation, the Chinese fleet learned that the remaining three Final-class battleships and two large cruisers of the British fleet had arrived in Calcutta.
Liu Daming immediately asked Lin Fei for instructions on whether to enter Calcutta and bomb the British fleet.
Lin Fei quickly gave an affirmative reply, the British fleet was not a small threat to the Chinese Empire, and it must not be left behind.
So Liu Daming led the Huaxia fleet to Calcutta, and three days later, on May 2, the Huaxia fleet came to the port of Calcutta, ready to attack.
At this time, the warships of the British fleet were all parked in the port of Calcutta, and they were unprepared for the attack of the Chinese fleet, and they all felt that it was impossible for the Chinese fleet to chase down the military port of Calcutta, which was the territory of the British Empire, and the Chinese Empire did not dare to attack the territory of the British Empire even if it ate the courage of the ambitious leopard.
What the people of the British fleet did not expect was that the Chinese fleet really came.
At 7 a.m. on 3 May, all 100 Wyvern fighters flew straight to the military port of Calcutta, striking a devastating blow at the British fleet.
Due to the complicated sea situation inside the port, the Nine Flying Dragon fighters will have different difficulties when completing the low-altitude dive and throwing torpedoes, so the Nine Flying Dragon fighters do not carry torpedoes, but carry aerial bombs, and each Nine Flying Dragon fighter can carry four aerial bombs.
A hundred Nine Flying Dragon fighters rushed into the military port of Calcutta, and the British fleet below did not react at all, and the shooters on the anti-aircraft gun positions were not even in position, and the Nine Flying Dragon fighters dropped their bombs.
In order to control the scale of the war, Lin Fei instructed the Nine Wyvern fighters not to attack ground targets, but only to attack British warships.
The final class battleship was quickly unable to support under the blow of a large number of aerial bombs, and the decisive was damaged in the last naval battle, and the damage has not been completely repaired, and this time it was attacked by aerial bombs, and the damage was even greater.
An aerial bomb exploded underwater on the port side of the Decisive Victory, and the shock wave tore open a barely repaired hole, the hole opened even wider, and a large amount of seawater poured in, and the Decisive soon sank.
Another final-class battleship, the Final, which was the lead ship of this class, landed on its deck, directly through the deck, and exploded in the ammunition bay, the aerial bombs detonated the entire stockpile of ammunition, and sank the entire battleship.
The last final-class battleship was named "Triumph", and it found that the Wyvern fighter was attacking very strongly, and if it stayed in the harbor, it would definitely be sunk, so the Triumph began to sail out of the port.
In the process of leaving the port, the Triumph collided with a large tugboat, which exploded and caught fire, and the Wyvern fighter did not let it go, and the volley blew down, blowing up both the Triumph and the tugboat.
The attack of the Nine Dragons lasted for more than two hours, and the three battleships of the final class, two large cruisers, four small destroyers, and more than a dozen auxiliary ships of various kinds in the port of Calcutta were all sunk, and the British fleet was completely annihilated.
The British fleet at the port of Calcutta was almost all of the elite of Britain, and without these warships, only the battleships and large cruisers before the dreadnoughts were left in the British mainland, although there were many of them, but the quality was not high.
The Chinese fleet annihilated the British fleet, and Lin Fei immediately summoned the British ambassador to put forward a request to lease Ceylon, and solemnly stated that if the British did not agree to the Chinese Empire's lease of Ceylon, the Chinese Empire would send troops to support the Indian people's war of independence.
