Indian Ocean, Diego Garcia Island. ※※※※※ I want ※※※ net ※ (5) ※ (1) ※ Ο ※ ΝΕΤ ※※ Thousands of Indian laborers sweated like rain, after the Chinese navy stationed in Mumbai, tactfully expressed the need for some workers to rebuild the base, the Congress party was very "skillful" to hand over tens of thousands of Indian soldiers armed by the British to China for disposal, and Emperor Li Zhen, who knew his father's interest, immediately sent some prisoners of war to the Seychelles and Chagos Islands, and then requisitioned a large amount of food, cement, steel and other materials from India in the name of military supplies. It was used for the construction of naval bases in the two places.

Because of this incident, Commander Long also specially praised his son-in-law's excellent naval traditional "spirit" for supporting the construction of the Indian Ocean base in the two places, especially on Diego Garcia Island, without a penny of money from the empire and the navy.

Diego Garcia Island is a huge roundabout island with a narrow entrance and a V-shaped shape, the leaky lake in the center of the island is 24 kilometers long, more than 6 kilometers wide, and the average water depth reaches 13 meters, which is a rare natural harbor in the Indian Ocean. Therefore, after the removal of hundreds of aborigines from the island, the Chinese parliament has reached a consensus that after the war, this place will be included in the unorganized territory off the coast of China, and the Admiralty has also made up its mind to make this an important base in the Indian Ocean similar to Guam.

Although the scale of construction here is very large, under the supervision of the engineers of the Navy Logistics Department, in order to redeem themselves as soon as possible, the Indian prisoners of war also swept away their lazy style, and in just a few months, they built this place in a good way.

Today's Indian laborers are a little absent-minded, because they wake up to find that in the leaky lake, where only transport ships usually come and go, there are several warships, especially two of them, which are so huge that they are terrifying.

Viscous light and heavy oil is continuously injected into the tanks through pipes, and the deck of the tanker, which is loaded with nearly 20,000 tons of oil, has been piled with used fuel pipes thicker than a waist. As the tanks gradually emptied, the tanker's waterline began to slowly rise, leaving many recruited temporary shipwrights stunned. "I can't figure out what kind of monster this is" actually swallowed so much oil in one go.

On the lù sky platform on the left side of the bridge of the Taiwan, Liu Haitao held the corner of his cigarette mouth cracked, looked at He Wenyu next to him and said with satisfaction: "Hehe, it's finally our turn to lead a strong battleship." ”

He Wenyu smiled slightly, Li Haitao's nickname is the sixth child, and like him, he is an early navyman, he has been fighting with the emperor since the first day of the first day, and he himself is the captain of the flagship Polaris, but the younger generations are star-studded, but they have covered the two of them a lot.

However, he is much calmer than the sixth child, "Although he is also very excited to lead the Taiwan, but this mission has made him a little stressed, because the command requires them not to be discovered before they arrive in Cape Verde!"

In order to achieve the goal, first of all, the size of the second task force fleet has been greatly reduced, except for the two Taiwan-class and two Qinshan-class combat support and supply ships in front of them, there is only one light aircraft carrier and two light cruisers from Perth. 【 I want: super fast update 】

Secondly, the route also needs to avoid the islands along the way as much as possible, the only good news is that the probability of encountering the enemy is very low before reaching the coast of South Africa, but once you enter the Atlantic, you will need to test your sailing skills.

"Wenyu, you said that if Jericho learned that the port of Djibouti had been replaced by the Shanxi, would he jump to his feet?"

"Definitely!"

He Wenyu said with certainty, I am afraid that he would be surprised, who would have thought that the one who claimed to return to Djibouti Port for maintenance was only the Shanxi that had just installed naval guns and had not yet been tested at sea, and now as long as the Shanxi stopped there and did not move, "Even if you are as shrewd as Jerico, you can't know that Taiyuan has quietly changed to a raccoon."

When he and the sixth enter the Atlantic, it will be really lively......

"Let's go." Seeing that the tanker began to slowly retract the refueling pipe, He Wenyu looked at his watch and patted the sixth man on the shoulder: "Go to the base to send a message to report that you are safe, starting tonight" We are about to disappear from the map. ”

"Ahead is Grand Cayman, the first group is flying in a circular search along the island, the second group enters the Gulf of Honduras to the left, and fighter jets are on standby to support." Looking at the group of islands in front of him, Xiao Sheng turned on the radio.

"All eyes widened, the activity of American bombers in this area...... "Also pay attention to submarines."

In the Caribbean Sea, 40 kilometers south of the Cayman Islands, a group of 16 Dragon's Teeth and Hornets suddenly dispersed, and when not on combat duty, torpedo attack planes were good scouts on aircraft carriers.

As the captain of the North Qi aircraft carrier's torpedo attack aircraft wing, Xiao Sheng first began to descend in altitude, dozens of white bars and three gold stars outside the cockpit, telling others how many combat take-off and landing missions he had carried out, and he also achieved the proud record of sinking three ships.

The Cayman Islands under the wing are composed of only three islands, Grand Cayman, Little Cayman and Cayman Brac Island, as a British colony, there are no special resources here, but because it is located between Cuba and Honduras, it is the only place for the Caribbean Sea to enter the Gulf of Messij, and the geographical location is important, and it was once known as a must-defend place in the Caribbean Sea by the United Kingdom.

With the seizure of Panama, the United States quickly approached Britain and upgraded Grand Cayman to a military base, where at least 10 destroyers and a large number of submarines were stationed, and a number of Curtiss D300 bombers were deployed recently.

When it comes to the speed of making aircraft, Hua is really not as fast as Britain and the United States, not that the technology and resources are insufficient, but the metal aircraft and the biplane wooden aircraft are completely different things, but Xiao Sheng is not afraid of a hornet's nest-like enemy, even if there is no Hornet to escort him, the dragon's teeth equipped with millimeter self-defense machine guns are enough to deal with the other party.

"Four o'clock ......, three submarines!"

Just as Xiao Sheng was flying low against Cayman Brac Island, the shouts of his comrades came from the earphones, and after he immediately pulled the joystick, the dragon's teeth flew towards the direction of four o'clock.

On the sea, three whale-like submarines like lù out of the back seemed to have also spotted the reconnaissance plane, and a large number of bubbles began to emerge on both sides of the hull, which is the characteristic of submarine diving, in order to prevent the other party from escaping, Xiao Sheng immediately ordered strafing, and at the same time contacted the fleet behind.

The 762 mm machine guns posed little threat to the submarine, but the 25 mm guns on the Hornet fighters that arrived later were very powerful against torpedo boats and small warships.

"Stationed in ...... Old"

I don't know who shouted, Xiao Sheng, who raised his head, only saw that a large group of biplane American-made barge fighters appeared in the direction of Grand Cayman, and he had to let the fighters give up the attack and intercept the enemy planes first, while he led people to hover over the submarine and wait for the support of the fleet.

After receiving the alarm, eight dragon teeth carrying four anti-submarine bombs each rushed out of the deck first, and then the four Weiqing-class destroyers quickly drilled out of the formation and rushed towards the direction of the Cayman Islands.

Standing in the bridge of the flagship Zhongmen navigation ship, Fang Jin raised his telescope and continued: "Order the Dongqi to take off two more reconnaissance teams, the first team will conduct reconnaissance along the line between Grand Cayman and Little Cayman, and the second team will go to reconnoiter the Yucatan Strait, and send a cruiser and 3 destroyers to advance along the mouth of the Gulf of Honduras, so that all ships are ready for air defense and anti-submarine." ”

Now most of the imperial admirals like to use aircraft carriers as flagships, but Fang Jin is a weirdo, he likes aircraft carriers, because aircraft carriers have strong combat capabilities, but when choosing a flagship, he only considers battleships.

The Koo-1 Battleship Detachment is the combat unit of the Fifth Task Force second only to the First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group with three aircraft carriers, consisting of one aircraft carrier, four Guam-class battleships, four light cruisers, and 12 destroyers.

The main purpose of his coming out this time was to escort the convoy.

A few days ago, an oil carrier was sunk by a US submarine when it entered the port, warning everyone that this is the Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico, which are full of crises, and are the backyard of the United States.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth arrival of the 41 transport ships behind them, the first battleship detachment personally escorted them after the study of the command.

In fact, in addition to escorting the convoy, this operation also had another purpose, which was to test whether Jellicoe would take the capital ship interception action, in order to try to consume part of the enemy's forces before the decisive battle. The distance of 70 kilometers is a bit far for the ships, but it only takes ten minutes for the aircraft, and when the first Bō Dragon's Tooth carrier-based aircraft arrived at the round, they did not rush to attack, because everyone knows that although the United States has also built a large number of submarines after the war, it is inferior to the technical force of Europe, not to mention the snorkel, so that these submarines cannot be underwater for a long time, and can only last for about an hour, so everyone waits in the sky in a circle without hurrying.

With the arrival of the two destroyers first, the American sailors in the submarine finally couldn't endure the pain of lack of oxygen, and when the small periscope like a bamboo pole reappeared on the surface of the sea, Xiao Sheng immediately captured the tiny water streaks on the surface of the sea. Eight teeth swept the sea at low altitude in groups of twos and twos, and the 150-kilogram airborne anti-submarine bombs were all improved from stocked milk-millimeter shells, which may not be powerful compared to other bombs, but they are more than enough to deal with submarines of several hundred tons. The 32 bombs were 32 violent water huā, and the two American submarines that were the first to prepare to be thrown into the water seemed to be thrown into the waves, and the narrow hull was constantly writhed by the explosion, and after a while, it disappeared into the sea with a large mass of oil.

The other was also sunk by the twin L47/130mm rapid-fire guns on the destroyer, and by the time everyone thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, not only a Curtis D300 bomber with torpedoes in the distance, but also several American destroyers.

Xiao Sheng frowned, even he could see it clearly, Britain and the United States were deliberately using inferior equipment in an attempt to achieve the purpose of delaying through an uninterrupted war of attrition in a medium scale.

"Let...... "Help the destroyer stop the bomber first." Xiao Sheng took a deep breath and quickly rushed towards the Curtis D300 fleet. @。
