Five minutes later, at 9:33 a.m.

On the northern shore of the Strait of Malacca, about thirty or forty kilometers from the coastline, there is a rubber grove.

Many of the natives living around them have no idea that in the middle of the rubber forest, an area of 38 acres in size, all the rubber trees are currently being cut down.

The ground, which had been relatively flat, was now filled with all the shallow pits and bulldozed out all the lods of earth.

Even after careful picking, there was not even a slightly larger stone in the vast clearing; After that, it was repeatedly rolled with a large stone mill.

Make the dirt on the ground as strong as possible.

In short, with the cautious and secret efforts of the Chinese compatriots in the region, it only took a few days before and after, and a field airfield that met the standards magically appeared here.

After raising his thin wrist and glancing at the time of an antique watch on it.

A signature supple wave was hidden in a fur hat, and the originally tight-fitting cheongsam with a high slit cheongsam and black socks were replaced by a set of Air Force leather jackets.

Dressed as a serious pilot, he doesn't see the glamorous appearance of the past at all, but he has another kind of indescribable heroic demeanor of the God of Wealth Xiaomei.

looked at the two teammates Da Yu and Lao Ping beside him, and looked at the past.

Soon after, his eyes swept over the big fish, a team member who was more senior than himself, and he knew that the other party didn't have to worry about him at all; Therefore, he said to Lao Ping, a novice rookie, with some worry:

"Lao Ping, it's not that the two of us don't believe in and look down on you.

The main thing is that you don't have much combat experience, and you may have some accidents because you are too nervous in battle; So if you stay at the airport, don't fly the plane together.

After all, you are a high-level technical talent, and if you can survive, you can play a bigger role. ”

When Xiaomei spoke, although the big fish on the side did not speak, he kept nodding his head, which was regarded as agreeing with Xiaomei's proposal.

Seeing this, Lao Ping first smiled faintly.

He could naturally hear that the above two people were taking care of himself, a novice rookie; I'd rather take risks on my own than keep the chance of surviving to myself.

But how can I say that? After thinking of something, he couldn't help but glance at the runway ahead.

I saw that on the flat runway, a total of 43 planes codenamed 'Big-headed Fly' and officially called 'H-1 Bomber' were lined up.

It just happened to be formed by them, the formation of an air regiment.

It can be said that each of the above planes has invested countless efforts of his Lao Ping.

After countless sleepless nights, the hairline has now moved up a bit, and there is too much hair thinning on the top of the head, which is the best explanation.

It is precisely in this way that I think of countless difficult days and nights that I have endured in the process of designing, composing, and training.

For a while, Lao Ping was willing to let himself be absent in this crucial battle.

Even if you die in battle, so what?

Just open and close your eyes and fall asleep; Anyway, according to the old birds, this thing can be resurrected perfectly as long as it completes the system task.

Without even the slightest hesitation in his heart, the aeronautical engineer of this modern plane immediately said in his mouth:

"No, I believe that the aircraft I have produced by myself is absolutely trustworthy in terms of quality; Plus the Yin Law Fleet is basically equal to the anti-aircraft firepower that there is no one, so it will be fine.

Besides, as long as you do these foreign devils, I will admit it if I hang up.

Theoretical knowledge and technical materials on aerospace and aeronautics, as long as I could think of in the previous time, I have basically left a copy now, so I really don't have to worry about that. ”

Seeing that the other party said that it had come to such a point, Xiaomei and Dayu did not continue to insist.

After turning his head, the big fish shouted at the top of his throat:

"Departure, today is the day of the debut of our Xuange Battalion Air Force, and it is also the day that shocks the planet; In this battle, the Xuange camp will win, and the flower planting will win~"

After that, together with a group of rookie pilots who had been trained in recent months, they rushed towards the planes that had already been refueled with fuel and bombs, and rushed in groups of two.

Ready to climb up the cab along a makeshift wooden ladder.

Among them, Da Yu, Xiao Mei and Lao Ping did not team up with each other, but brought a Chinese pilot as an assistant.

In the process of flying to the plane, a large group of young men and women of local Chinese descent did not know where to get inspiration.

After rushing over, they put a snow-white silk scarf around the necks of the pilots.

Perhaps they instinctively thought that these proud men of their own air must be handsome when they were flying in the air.

The person who presented Xiaomei with a silk scarf was still a handsome guy in his twenties of Chinese descent .

When putting on a silk scarf for Xiaomei, facing the big eyes of this girl's 'flickering', the little handsome guy's face turned red at that time, and Xiaomei couldn't help but blow a loud whistle.

Suddenly, a large group of people around couldn't help but laugh.

And such a small episode also made those rookie pilots calm down a little bit of tension in their hearts.

After sitting down and fastening your seat belt, you are turning the propeller on the ground side.

Xiaomei and the other three, plus all the pilots, all waved to the crowd on both sides of the runway, which was regarded as a final farewell.

Because among these people, there are not only ground staff who belong to their colleagues, but also more Chinese compatriots.

It was these people, with their own dry rations and tools, who built this high-standard field airfield in the shortest possible time, and did not ask for a penny of wages.

In their words: As long as you can win the battle against these foreigners who bully the door, you will not be bullied in the future, and let them do all the work with their heads arched, where do you need any wages?

In this way, Xiaomei took the lead in operating the bomber numbered 'Xuan 001'.

After gliding a distance on the runway, it leaps lightly like a dexterous eagle; However, instead of flying towards the Strait of Malacca immediately, it began to circle over the airport.

Then, when Da Yu, Lao Ping, and more pilots were also piloting the plane, maybe the process was not so beautiful, but after successfully taking off.

Eventually, a group of 43 bombers formed a large formation in the shape of a "many".

It was under the leadership of Xiaomei, Lao Ping, and Dayu who started at the beginning that they pounced towards the Strait of Malacca.

Between the flights, a silk scarf around their necks fluttered in the wind, which was indescribably chic; I don't know how many people on the ground have a huge yearning for the 'air knight' profession of pilot.

A few minutes later, a native who was munching on sugar cane under a coconut tree at the entrance of the village inadvertently looked up at the sky, and suddenly fell into a stupor.

Wait until he reacts under a spirit.

Immediately he fell to his knees and pressed his head to the ground, not even daring to lift his head.

Because after inadvertently seeing the first official execution of the fleet in the air, based on the barren cognition in his brain, he felt that only the gods could do this.

In the instinctive fear and envy of flying in my heart, the only thing I can do is to kneel down and show sincerity.

It's just that this ignorant native, what he doesn't know at all, is that the leader of these terrible murderous weapons; In his current state, not even his fangs are exposed......

******

Time, 9:40.

A rifle bullet hit a bulletproof steel plate in front of him, and the dense 'clanging~' sound was made.

The second fat man who scolded and scolded in his mouth, after scolding out a sentence of 'special'.

At the risk of being shot in the head by a stray bullet, he quickly poked out a little of his braincase, glanced ahead, and retracted the whole person behind the steel plate.

Is it going to use such an action to see if this torpedo boat he is in has rushed to a distance where it can launch torpedoes?

As a result, as soon as I appeared, I felt that a bullet almost flew over my left temple.

It can be said that I am a little less lucky, and I have already received a box lunch now; The whole process, that's called a lot of tension and excitement.

No way! In the previous year's main treasure time, even if the members of the equipment manufacturing team such as Wolf Qing did their best, the ability to modify was still limited.

In the face of a large number of equipment that needs to be modified and produced by them, they can only give priority to tackling some of the more important problems.

For example, airplanes, warships, aerial bombs, etc.

So on the torpedo boat, Lao Tie took the time to get those diesel engines on it; Because I'm in a hurry to get busy with some more important work.

During the battle of the torpedo boat brigade, those torpedoes used in the supporting units did not have time to produce them themselves, or to carry out a large-scale transformation.

As a result, the source of torpedoes can only be purchased from outside.

And the specific model of the torpedo they purchased is actually one of the more advanced ones at present: the German stick 365 mm black-head torpedo.

This thing is powered by compressed air, has a speed of 22 knots, a maximum range of 600 meters, and a warhead charge of 40 kilograms.

At first glance, the numbers look pretty good.

The key problem is that the above data is only theoretical.

In practice, this thing often deviates due to the influence of the current, resulting in a hit rate that is a bit difficult to explain.

Anyway, according to Erfat's many experiments, the hit rate of firing this torpedo at a fixed target at a distance of 400 meters is less than 30%.

If it is replaced by a naval gun, the hit rate can be 40%.

In view of this bad situation, how to break it?

It's actually very simple to say, get closer to the launch; As long as the distance is close enough, the hit rate can be significantly improved, even to the extent of 100%.

So there was the kind in front of him, the torpedo boat where Er Fat was, with the fire of the rifles in his hands firing frantically against the frightened Yin Fa infantry on many ships.

Rushing forward frantically, like a bayonet on a torpedo boat.

Fortunately, when Er Fat glanced at it quickly just now, he was almost killed by a stray bullet.

Xuejiao was pleasantly surprised to find that they were currently far away from a Yin nationality in front of them, with a tonnage of more than 3,000 tons, which should be called the 'Martha', only seventy or eighty meters away.

When the second fat retracted his braincase, he had already issued an order in his mouth: "Torpedo launch~"

The next second later, there was a loud sound like opening the cork of the bottle, 'dong ~'.

A black torpedo rushed out of the launch tube, and after falling into the water, it rushed headlong into the 'Martha' like an agile swimming fish.

When the torpedo was launched and did not hit the target, Er Fat's mouth immediately shouted another order:

"U-turn, turn around quickly~"

With such urgency, they shouted such an order, that is, they still made some modifications to the torpedo under their limited capabilities.

Specifically, the explosives in it were replaced with new explosives from the Surabaya factory.

With this kind of thing, which is a generation more advanced than picric acid, the power of up to 40 kilograms after explosion is far more than two or three 203 mm shells in the modern plane.

As long as it slows down a little, believe it or not, their small torpedo boat will be affected by the terrifying force of the explosion.

As a result, it is.

In the frightened wails of the soldiers and sailors on the Martha, a 365 mm torpedo hit them a few seconds later.

The huge explosion power of the torpedo caused the entire ship to bounce off the water.

Scraps of steel and all kinds of debris flew up to a distance of tens or hundreds of meters, making the surrounding sea full of stirred waves.

When the torpedo boat where Er Fat was located successfully turned a corner, it was ready to make up another torpedo against the Martha, which had a tonnage dozens of times more than them.

But I was surprised to find that there was no such need at all.

Because the port side of the torpedo in the Martha has been torn open a terrifying gap, allowing the sea water to pour into it frantically.

It was only after such a little time that the hull of the ship noticed a noticeable tilt.

It is only a matter of time before it sinks completely.

Xu is aware of this, a large number of soldiers and sailors above are currently frantically jumping towards the sea, often fighting for a piece of driftwood.

There were also soldiers who, while swearing angrily, fired at them in vain with their rifles.

For a while, various scenes were intertwined, and it was a completely tragic apocalyptic scene; It's a pity that after the second fat saw it in his eyes, he didn't even have the slightest weakness and sympathy in his heart.

Not to mention their torpedo boat fleet, they had to sink enough cargo ships to block the waterway, as well as the Yin Fa expeditionary fleet.

Just after the Yin people encountered the same situation with the 'Gao Sheng', they said lightly in their mouths, 'The two sides are at war, so it is understandable', which means that everything today is retribution.

So after taking a look at the battlefield, the second fat began to issue another new order in his mouth:

"The target is 9 o'clock, rush towards the 'Lady Luck', and sink him for me~"

At his command, the helmsman steered the torpedo boat and pounced on the next victim; And while they were busy, the other torpedo boats were not idle.

They were like a pack of wolves, besieging a flock of sheep.

Relying on the speed of the torpedo boat and the small agility of the ship, he plunged headlong into the many cargo ships and spread his fangs at the target he had chosen.

Therefore, after the torpedo boat of Erfat took the lead in firing a torpedo, other torpedo boats also launched one after another.

For a time, the sound of huge explosions was endless, and almost every explosion sounded represented the destruction of a fragile cargo ship.

Of course, there were some torpedoes that missed.

Or maybe it's a little off, and the damage is not enough.

But what does it matter? On each torpedo boat, there were six loaded 365-mm blackhead torpedoes.

One shot didn't hit and the effect was not good, it was nothing more than another shot, and it was two shots at the top of the sky.

In short, in the midst of the dense explosions, the convoy of troop carriers that stayed in the rear suffered a catastrophe.

The three warships of the Yin Fa each, since they turned around and returned, are now within the range of the ship's guns; The problem was to face torpedo boats that were constantly maneuvering around their own cargo ships.

When these battleships were greeted by a round of shells, not only did they not hit any targets, but they hit the foredeck of a freighter.

In the splash of firelight, dozens of soldiers crowded on the deck were directly put down.

After that, the captains of these six support ships did not dare to give any order to continue firing except for asking their subordinates to continue to speed up and rush back to support......

"Order the fleet, fire on the Xuange Battalion fleet~"

After retracting his hand and looking at the telescope of the rear fleet, Jackie Fisher, the commander of the Yin Law Expeditionary Fleet, issued such an order with extremely bitter bitterness.

He knew he was in big trouble.

In a careless way, he did not expect that the Xuange battalion would ambush so many torpedo boats, so that the transport fleet would suffer such terrible casualties.

Not right either! It shouldn't be too careless, because the current mainstream torpedo boats, but only have a maximum speed of 20 knots, will definitely not cause such terrible damage.

Not to mention that the six warships that supported them back were a little helpless to hold them for a while.

But even so, even if he completely annihilated the fleet of the Xuange battalion, he even entered Surabaya City and completely solved the Xuange battalion.

After returning home, he will also be held accountable by those parliamentarians because of the huge losses in the infantry.

It's just that in the current situation, what can he do? Now even if the expeditionary fleet turns around, it will not be able to solve the dilemma of the transport fleet.

So the only thing he could do now was to look forward to an immediate attack on the Xuange battalion, and the staggering pressure would make these torpedo boats come back to support.

Even if there is still a distance of four or five nautical miles between the two sides at present, the effect of the shelling should not be very good.

So under his order, the two 343 mm caliber guns on the foredeck of the Sovereign had already been filled, and the twin guns were slightly adjusted.

Just one in front and one behind, it opened fire in less than three seconds apart.

The other five or six warships that were a little ahead opened fire almost one after another at such a time, and at one time more than twenty rounds of large-caliber shells beckoned to the Xuange Battalion fleet that was fighting in front of them.

Not surprisingly, these shells made a high splash on the water, and the nearest one of them was more than 200 meters away from the target, causing no casualties.

And the Xuange camp, but after being a little slower for half a minute, also started a round of counterattacks.

Again, except for blowing up a large number of water columns, there were no casualties.

In such a situation, Jackie Fisher was not the slightest surprise, because as an expert in equipment in the Great Yin Empire, he knew too well the hit rate of naval guns in recent years.

At the current distance, it is normal for hundreds of shells to miss a single shot.

So after giving the 'fire' order, he immediately picked up his binoculars and looked towards the rear convoy.

I hope to see the Xuange battalion fleet, which can't bear the pressure, transfer those torpedo boats back.

Unfortunately, in Jackie Fisher's expectant eyes, those torpedo boats were still wreaking havoc in the transport fleet, and they waited for an even bigger crisis......
