The huge Allied fleet sailed at high speed on the sea, and the entire fleet was arranged in an irregular quadrilateral shape on the vast sea! The fleets of Raeder and Count Luknall were placed in front, and the two fleets provided reconnaissance and defense for the entire fleet like two shelves of crabs. And Earl Spee's 7 large aircraft carriers are in the middle, they are the core of the entire fleet, and more than 4% of the fleet's attack capabilities come from the Earl's direct fleet! And the Austro-Hungarian fleet, which was already showing its decline, was located in the rear of the fleet and took on the task of breaking off, and as for the nominally independent detachments, the fleets of the Spanish and Turks they were only vassals of the Germans, and even the ability to protect themselves was weak, and they could only rely on the vicinity of the count's main fleet.

The unprecedentedly powerful fleet gave the Count confidence and pride, looking at the huge warships on the sea like a floating city, and the dense group of aircraft on the deck, the Count of Spee believed that there was no force in the Indian Ocean that could withstand the full force of the Allied fleet! And even within a year the German Navy was invincible!

The only thing that made the count a little unhappy was that the transport fleet behind him was moving too slowly, although in order to support this operation, the German Navy concentrated almost all the ocean-going fast supply ships that could be dispatched, but the unprecedented size of the fleet still made the ocean-going supply a little unbearable, in order to ensure that the fleet could appear in front of the opponent unexpectedly, the speed of the entire fleet was about 20 knots! And at this speed, it is a bit unbearable for some high-speed supply ships with a maximum speed of only 18 knots, and such a speed also consumes a huge amount of fleet, and many small and medium-sized warships need to replenish fuel once in a few days! And some large warships are not rich in fuel stocks.

But the high-speed rush of the Germans did play a role, and they felt the Bay of Bengal at a speed that exceeded the Entente's estimates. While the Americans were still studying the purpose of the German fleet this time, the Germans had already dropped their bombs near Chennai on the east coast of India!

A huge fleet of hundreds of aircraft of various types flew towards the airport and port near Chennai. The Americans simply did not expect the sudden appearance of the German fleet in the "inland sea" zone of the Entente. More than 60 percent of the more than 200 aircraft at three nearby airfields were destroyed on the ground, although a small number of P47 and P38 fighters took to the skies. But this time they were faced with a brand-new FW190DT fighter, equipped with a new JUMO213 engine and using C3 fuel and MW50 supercharging equipment The combat effectiveness of the new fighter at medium and low altitudes can be described as terrifying, under the huge numerical superiority, dozens of American fighters resisted for only ten minutes before turning into a fireball, and the German fleet did not stop after completing the attack, and continued to move northward, directly to the next target - Visakhapatnam!

This is one of the largest supply points in northern India! In order to ensure the safety here, the British deployed 4 Spitfire fighter wings and 6 twin-engine fighter groups! And after Chennai's warning, the British did not disappoint the Germans. Here, the new fighter of the Germans ran into the RAF, which had also just completed a refit! The all-in-one Jet-14 fighter made the new German FW190 fighter feel the huge pressure! And the new Mosquito fighter also left the first drop of blood for the German attack group!

"These planes seem to be the new toys of the Germans. Its fuselage is much more slender. It seems that the speed at low altitude is also a little faster. "Levi operated his Spitfire fighter and wandered in the distance, and after the radar found the target, Levi's squadron arrived at the battlefield first, but because of the large number of opponents, they only monitored and tracked, and did not immediately attack.

And when the brigade of the British came immediately, the tearing war officially began! It doesn't matter if it's a fight, both sides are surprised! British: "I'll go!" The Germans were so fast ?! German: "Why is this fire-breathing speed and climb so against the sky?!" ”

I have to say. The British aviation background is still very terrible, although the aerodynamic design of the Spitfire is not particularly against the sky, but relying on the absolutely anti-sky engine, the British Spitfire finally slowly crushed the former opponent BF109. Even in the face of the latest FW190D from the Germans, the new Spitfire is nothing short of nothing! The new FW190D prides itself on its speed advantage, and it looks like that's what happens to the Spitfire. And in terms of climbing, the Spitfire 14 still has a certain advantage!

The battle of the twin engines was fought from an altitude of 7000 meters all the way to the sea level! Hundreds of planes are entangled. Constantly maneuvering, shooting, tracking, getting rid of. The twin-engine pilots used their skills and blood to compose immortal battle songs in the sky. After Levi smashed a FW190DT fighter to pieces at 6,000 meters in the air, he dived down again. The Germans on the opposite side were clearly a veteran, and a simple roll and glide flight managed to dodge Levy's attack.

"It doesn't matter. Let's go around in circles! "The two sides are almost at a height, Levy, who has just failed to attack, is not frustrated, and it takes two conditions to take away the opponent with a wave of dives, first, the opponent is a rookie, and second, your luck is good! Continuous suppression and attrition with crew cooperation is the normal way in small-scale air combat. And Levi intends to give full play to the advantages of horizontal mobility to play slowly with the other party!

However, the German on the other side is obviously also a veteran, he is very aware of the weakness of his aircraft, so the other side resolutely does not fight horizontal engagement, the FW190 fighter easily slided, and entered the shallow dive state again, and the fighting spirit Cherevy also followed a little blindly!

When the combat altitude of the two sides gradually decreased to about 3,000 meters, the FW190DT fighters' medium and low altitude speed advantage began to gradually become more obvious, and the flexibility brought by the three-stage supercharging began to be highlighted! In a series of scissor chases, the Spitfire 14 gradually became a disadvantage. And when Levy was ready to pull up and climb back out of the fight, the remaining kinetic energy was no longer enough to support him to get rid of the opponent behind him, and after the half-pulled wings of the plane were removed, Levy had to say goodbye to his fifth partner since joining the army and parachute to escape.

Although the Germans held down their opponents little by little, the attack did not go well. After the first wave of attacks successfully consumed the opponent's air defense, the attack aircraft behind also had to face dense anti-aircraft fire on the ground. Although the German naval fleet was strong, it was obvious that there was some price to be paid for the complete destruction of the opponent's defenses in a hurry. And on this matter the Count of Spee backed down!

After a hasty bombardment of the port and warehouses, the Count decisively headed north with the fleet. In this air battle, the Germans lost more than 70 aircraft of various types, which may not seem like a large number, but it was enough to discourage the Count, because if this wave of pilots were to be lost, his fleet air force would probably be enriched with hairy boys who had just graduated from aviation schools!

"The new Germans have better flight performance than the original FW190AT, especially at low altitudes, and they are better than our latest Spitfire-14 fighter, which we originally intended to completely take away from the fighter's technical superiority. But alas, we failed, and at low altitudes, I think our Spitfire 14 and the new FW190 fighter are almost tied, and we may have a slight climb advantage. There may be a disadvantage in speed, but if you want to hold your opponent down, I recommend air combat at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters. The British quickly summed up the information about the battle and divided it between China and the United States.

"No wonder the Germans dare to jump out, it turns out that the long-nosed Dora has already come out!" Xu Jie sneered with a copy of the battle report. But even if it comes out, what about it? The Germans are improving, and Huaxia is also not idle, it seems that this time Huaxia's "low-altitude version of Corsair 4" is right!

After the end of the Battle of the Atlantic, the carrier-based aircraft of the Huaxia Fleet suffered equally heavy losses, but the so-called old did not go to the new and did not come. After returning home, the pilots quickly forgot the grief of losing their plane, and they found that the new toys they had been given were better and more powerful! The new Skua 3 fighter has a compact layout. Although the piloting comfort is a little worse, the aircraft is a little thinner. But the weight has really come down! WEIGHT REDUCTION OF UP TO 450KG! In addition, it has been replaced with a new low-altitude engine with a maximum horsepower of up to 2,700 horsepower! In terms of low-altitude performance, it is even stronger than the historical Corsair 4! When fighting with the Stone Tea Falcon belonging to the Huaxia Air Force. The skua gull, which has always been relatively bulky, finally turned over and pressed the opponent back!

Therefore, after receiving the information sent by the British, Xu Jie didn't care very much, just informed Su Mo of the situation and asked him to pay more attention. As early as a few months, Xu Jie had informed the navy that the Germans might be equipped with a new liquid-cooled fighter, which was particularly outstanding in its low-altitude performance, with a maximum speed of nearly 700 kilometers at 6,500 meters, and a low-altitude climb rate of around 4,200 feet per minute, which was almost provided according to the data of the FW190D of later generations, which gave the navy several preventive shots.

After hitting the nail on the head with the British, the Allied Combined Fleet decisively left, choosing a new target, and the defense of other coastal ports was not as strong as that of Visakhapatnam, and neither the early warning system nor the number of air defense fighter units could be compared with it, and in the subsequent rounds of attacks, the Allied Combined Fleet fought smoothly. In just a few days, the Allied fleet swept more than a dozen cities off the coast of India! Nearly 1,000 aircraft of various kinds were destroyed and damaged, and at the same time, hundreds of thousands of tons of transport ships were sent to the bottom of the sea, and the transportation system of the entire Entente Indian theater of operations was paralyzed! Sea transport is almost cut off!

At the same time, the German army also launched a new offensive, after Xu Huaide hit Guderian hard, several battles broke out between the two sides, although the Chinese achieved a huge victory in tactics, but in the face of a steady stream of German support, Guderian finally squeezed the Chinese troops from the Isfahan area to Qom, the Germans finally took down the salient that was like a fish in the throat, and the two sides confronted each other again on the front line of Qom, and no one could help anyone for a while.

The German army, which stabilized the rear, finally launched an offensive impatiently, several army groups launched an attack on the Gangetic Plain, and the British finally retreated after resisting for several days near the ancient capital of Delhi, and in the face of the German armored forces, the British did not have a good way except to resist and exchange space for time. And at the critical moment of the land war, there were problems with sea transportation, which undoubtedly pushed the Entente to the edge of the cliff!

"If the German fleet stays in the Bay of Bengal for a month, our military system in South Asia is in danger of collapsing!" In Marshall's report to Roosevelt, the "Grand Chief" of the American armed forces very harshly supported the current form!

"That can't be, let Nimitz take the fleet to South Asia, right? Who will cover the North Atlantic route? Roosevelt couldn't come up with a solution, not to mention that the current American fleet couldn't beat it! It's not that the Americans didn't see the new planes and new aircraft carriers of the Germans!

"It is said that the Huaxia fleet left its base in the South Seas and disappeared. Moreover, at present, Huaxia is constantly asking us for the movements of the German Navy in the Bay of Bengal, and judging from these actions, it seems that the other side intends to do a war with the Germans. Marshall suddenly remembered something.

"Huh?! This is good news, if Huaxia can weaken the German fleet, it will be even better! Roosevelt said with satisfaction, although Roosevelt agreed with the statement that the Chinese fleet was stronger than the American fleet, but he did not think that the current Huaxia could fight against the entire Allied fleet alone! He now thinks that as long as he can wear down his opponents, let the Germans go back sooner!

At the same time, 200 nautical miles southeast of Ceylon, a huge fleet no less than the Allied Combined Fleet was cruising on the sea, and the six supercarriers, six armored aircraft carriers, and eight medium fleet aircraft carriers of the Chinese Navy, plus four aircraft carriers of the Italians, formed five sub-fleets, and together with the Allied land-based air forces on the island, they faintly formed a blockade line, blocking the way for the Allied fleet to return westward. And now Su Mo is like a careful hunter, waiting for the Germans to run out of energy in the Bay of Bengal, and then go up to make up for the fatal knife himself!

However, the situation seems to be somewhat unexpected by Sumer, except for a small loss in Visakhapatnam, the Germans can be described as invincible in other battlefields! The continuous assault does not seem to have major losses, except for the consumption of some ammunition and fuel! The consumption of various materials was replenished by a large number of accompanying transport ships. It's not a big problem.

"Don't wait, the Germans are not stupid, after the British hit the nail on the head, the Germans will no longer attack those key fortified areas, and the idea of using the land-based air forces of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands to consume the opponent is not realistic!" Four days later, after synthesizing all aspects of the information, Su Mo said.
