"Whew!" An SBD2 dive bomber is diving towards one of the British transports. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info At an altitude of six hundred meters above the sea surface, a 500-pound aerial bomb was thrown directly.

The bomb smashed on the British transport ship at an almost vertical angle. The transport ship is not a warship, and the weak hull has almost no defense against aerial bombs dropped from a high altitude, and it is smashed through at once.

"Boom!" A violent explosion sounded. The flames rushed out of the inside of the hull, and the smoke began to be confused.

Sailors on transport ships, scattered in all directions. No one thought to save the transport ship at their feet. Because, the transport ship with a displacement of only a few thousand tons has already been damaged and even has the possibility of sinking.

A TBD torpedo attack aircraft aimed at a large merchant ship with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons. It's just that this merchant ship is huge, although it seems to be a small mountain. However, in the eyes of this torpedo attack aircraft, it was still nothing more than a fat fish.

Torpedo attack aircraft dropped torpedoes at a distance of three hundred meters from the British merchant ship. The 533 mm heavy torpedo slammed into the merchant ship at a rapid pace. The sailors on the merchant ship, seeing the rapidly approaching torpedo, shouted anxiously.

However, this is not useful at all. In their desperate gaze, the torpedo kissed the side of the merchant ship.

"Boom!" Explosions rang out. I saw the side of the merchant ship, and the water column rose to the sky. The sailors on the merchant ship fell on the deck. What's even more deadly is that a huge hole has appeared below the waterline. The sea is pouring madly into the merchant ships.

Merchant ships are no more watertight than warships, and there are not as many watertight compartments. This also made this huge merchant ship, under this blow, have suffered fatal damage. If more and more water enters the water, if the merchant ship capsizes, the sailors above will die.

Dozens of British merchant ships and transport ships were sunk one after another under the blows of the carrier-based aircraft of the Anti-Japanese Salvation Army Air Force. Only a handful of ships were able to escape. And this made their order to withdraw Lieutenant General Slim only end in failure. If this order continues, it will probably only lead to the last result. That is, all ships will be sunk and all people will be killed.

"Your Excellency, Commander, our plan has failed. The Chinese sent a large number of carrier-based aircraft to attack our merchant ships and transport ships. The vast majority of merchant ships and transports were sunk. A staff officer reported to Admiral Wavell.

"Damn!" Admiral Wavell scolded. He suddenly felt that he had no way to rescue Lieutenant General Slim.

"Oh God! Now, what do we do? Admiral Wavell looked at his staff team. However, all of them bowed their heads and did not say a word. Their attitude undoubtedly speaks for itself.

"Well, send a telegram to General Slim and tell him that we have done our best. The rest is up to them. Admiral Wavell said. He knew what the outcome would be after he gave this order. However, there is no way for him to do it.

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander." The staff officers hurriedly replied.

Reinforcement, surrounded British troops, Lieutenant General Slim and other British generals, are still waiting for the convoy sent by Admiral Wavell. However, three hours have passed, and the convoy is still nowhere to be seen.

"Damn, what the hell is going on? Didn't you say you would be able to arrive in three hours? "Lieutenant General Slim is losing patience. At the same time, he also had a feeling in his heart that was getting worse and worse.

"General, the matter at sea is not clear, I'm afraid there will be some delay." Major General Eric said.

Lieutenant General Slim nodded and turned to look at the sea. However, I am still a little relieved.

"General, a telegram from the headquarters." A communications officer, with an ugly face, handed the telegram to Lieutenant General Slim.

When Lieutenant General Slim took the telegram, his whole face became very ugly.

"Oh God! How so? Lieutenant General Slim exclaimed.

"General, what's going on?" Major General Eric and the others hurriedly asked.

"Our transport fleet, attacked by the Chinese's carrier-based aircraft forces, has sunk dozens of ships. The remaining transports and merchant ships have returned. Lieutenant General Slim said with a pale face.

Suddenly, everyone exclaimed. Because they know that it means they have been abandoned.

"Damn, how can this be? Why give up on us? ”

"Those damned Chinese, how can they even have carrier-based aircraft? Those Americans, are they crazy? ”

Countless people began to curse, some cursed the Americans, but more cursed the Chinese. But even so, it is no longer possible to change their fate. They were surrounded by no reinforcements and no way to evacuate. At the same time, the non-stop shelling of the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army was destroying them. This was undoubtedly fatal for the British troops in the encirclement.

"Oh God! What do we do now? "Lieutenant General Slim already doesn't know what to do?

This went on for two days. For two days, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Army did not launch an offensive. However, they continued to shell the British troops in the encirclement with artillery. The fighters of the air force were also dropping bombs and strafing the British troops in the encirclement every day. As a result, the casualties of the British army are getting bigger and bigger, and the morale has fallen to the bottom.

"General, we can't be like this. It has already appeared that the soldiers could not bear it and surrendered to the Chinese. We are running out of food. "Major General Eric found Lieutenant General Slim.

At this moment, Lieutenant General Slim is already decadent. This defeat was undoubtedly a great blow to him.

"What can we do now?" Lieutenant General Slim smiled bitterly. He even wished that a shell fell on his command. In this way, he will be able to go to God and not have to worry about this.

"General, surrender. Let's surrender to the Chinese. We still have more than 28,000 people. These people can't die here! Major General Eric proposed.

"Surrender?" A look of struggle flashed in Lieutenant General Slim's eyes. For him, it would undoubtedly be a great shame if he surrendered.

"General, even if we surrender, the Chinese will not dare to do anything to us. We and the Chinese, after all, are allies. Coupled with the pressure from the Americans, the Chinese should release us. Major General Eric said.

Lieutenant General Slim hesitated, but finally nodded.
