On September 6, 1915, 150 kilometers southwest of Kolkata, India, on the west side of the mouth of the Hoogri River, in front of the beach near the small town of Gandi, hundreds of ships of all sizes flying the dragon flag, the sun flag and the Taiji flag were densely spread on the front of more than ten kilometers of coastline.

Admiral Ma Shengyu, commander of the Second Fleet of the East Asian Joint Navy, and Vice Admiral Yu Dalong, commander of the 1st Marine Corps, were holding binoculars side by side and observing the actual situation of the landing operation with different expressions on the bridge terrace of the second-class battleship "Ruixiang," the flagship of the Navy's landing fleet and escort force.

"Almost...... I didn't meet any resistance, and it seems that I really got into the gap in the defensive line. ”

Yu Dalong excitedly put down the binoculars, and when he turned around, he ordered the orderly: "Go, get two of the box of cigars from Honolulu." ”

"It's too early to celebrate." Ma Shengyu commented without emotion in his tone.

Yu Dalong was full of optimism: "Commander Ma, I think there should be no problem, look at this, that, the first wave has consolidated the beachhead, the second wave is unloading, and the third wave is also ready, the other party has not yet counterattacked worth mentioning, I estimate that your hundreds of naval guns are all over the sky, and they have already scared those Indian Baotou soldiers out of their pants." ”

"Maybe we did avoid the enemy's strong lines and attacked the right shore at the right time, but let me remind you that the real battle has not yet begun." Ma Shengyu responded with a glance.

Yu Dalong thought to himself: "What a boring guy." ”

Shut up, raised the telescope and looked east and west for a while, and finally waited for the orderly to bring the cigar. handed Ma Shengyu one, but was politely declined.

"Thank you, I never smoke."

It's really a bad guy to get along with, no wonder he doesn't have any popularity, it's all covered by it...... Yu Dalong muttered for a while in his heart, cut his own one, lit it, picked it up, and rewarded the extra one to the orderly who ran errands and took cigarettes.

"Maybe I shouldn't have asked. I'm just a little curious, though. That Jay what the Concorde Combined Fleet. You should be killing us now, right? Yu Dalong still couldn't bear to be quiet, spit out a cigarette, and came with his mouth open.

Ma Shengyu put down his gilded imperial binoculars, leaned lightly on the iron railing in front of the terrace with one hand, and nodded lightly: "The latest news, I drove to the vicinity of Ceylon earlier, and when that Admiral Jericho received the news that we landed here, he should hurry up and rush over, I estimate, within three days...... The fate of you and me, the fate of the tens of millions of soldiers under your command, the fate of the empire, and the fate of the world will all be decided. ”

Yu Dalong whistled, flicked the cigar in his hand, tilted his head and smiled, "Decide the battle or win?" I like this tone. But why do I think this battle will be fought for a long time? ”

"As you can imagine. The war may continue for several more years, and our fate, the fate of the world, will still be determined by similar decisive battles again and again, and we have no choice, and no one else has a choice. = Junzitang first = this world of the world. Only a handful of people can choose how to influence their own fate and that of others. We do nothing but do what we can. We can only pray that the final victory will fall on our side. ”

Yu Dalong snorted his cigarette and clapped his hands with a "snap": "Of course the victory belongs to us, there is nothing to say, no matter what kind of chicken feathers and turtle feathers he has, Lao Tzu will decide it, and he will dare to gamble with his head!" ”

Ma Shengyu was silent, and looked in the direction of the beachhead for a while, then suddenly turned his head with a serious expression: "This battle is completely different from Hawaii, please be careful with Commander Yu." I just made it clear that I just need to send you and your people and goods ashore, and the rest of the matter can only wait until Jericho's fleet is settled, if it can't be solved, your department will ask for more blessings, don't blame this commander for being ruthless...... No, I shouldn't be there then......"

Yu Dalong didn't care about the land, but he was arrogant: "I know that it is important for you to escort the fleet, besides, if you really want to fight with Najeliko, you can't be a big guy under you." Don't worry, my 1st Marine Army is made of iron and steel, even if there is no backup, it will still sweep across both sides of the Ganges River and fight all the way back to Burma, it's no big deal! In my Yu Dalong's dictionary, defeat is exclusive to the enemy! ”

After listening to Yu Dalong's encouragement and self-encouragement, Ma Shengyu's long face that seemed to be an ice sculpture finally showed a rare smile, and he took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Yu Dalong: "It's my honor to cooperate with you, take care."

Yu Dalong pouted and smiled, and stretched out his hand to shake it: "Don't worry, I will reserve a first-class room for you in the best hotel in Kolkata." ”

In a certain sea area in the northern part of the Bay of Bengal, the "Pinghai," the general flagship of the East Asian Combined Fleet, Sa Zhenbing, had been pacing for half an hour in the sweltering chart room.

On the wide-area chart centered on the Indian subcontinent, starting from Mumbai on the west coast of India, a blue line marked with directional arrows has extended to the sea west of the island of Ceylon......

Next to the broken points of the line, there are lines of numbers, and the number at the end is: 09-

This means that the last time the submarines of our alert unit discovered the enemy fleet was at 18:15 p.m. yesterday, a full 12 hours have passed.

Twelve hours, at the usual cruising speed of twelve knots, can advance one hundred and forty-four nautical miles, enough for Jericho to bypass the island of Ceylon from the south and burst into the Bay of Bengal.

Although the Paulk Strait between Ceylon Island and the Indian subcontinent is a shortcut into the Bay of Bengal, its maximum width is only 64 kilometers, the average water depth is only 2 to 3 meters, and the maximum water depth is only 9 meters, which is not suitable for large warships.
