Chapter 522 Anti-ship War

The news of the missing ship loading the medicines that the soldiers needed the most reached the Myanmar Command of the British and French coalition forces. General Alexander, the commander of the coalition forces, was furious.

But what can you do with being angry? After calming down your anger, General Alexander ordered all ships to strictly follow the routes they had already confiscated, and it is strictly forbidden for such a situation to happen again.

Although it was just missing, anyone could guess that these five cargo ships were already in danger.

Wars cannot always avoid them. If they avoid them blindly, they will be led by others. Now, in the entire Indian Ocean, the navy of the British and French coalition forces is too long and the navy has always regarded the European local defense forces as the center of gravity. Alexander does not have many naval forces at hand.

However, this does not mean that Alexander is just a soft persimmon. General Alexander, who lost five cargo ships, ordered a fleet of fourteen ships, including cruisers, light cruisers, frigates, etc., to advance to the southern part of the Andaman Sea and fight back against the Chinese Navy.

This fleet is the last ship that Alexander can use in addition to ensuring the escort and patrol of the logistics maritime line. It doesn’t matter if the follow-up visit is successful, but once the follow-up visit is unsuccessful...

Then Alexander had to make his life in Myanmar a little harder.

Two days later, a formation of fourteen ships advanced to the Andaman Sea near the tenth direction of the north latitude, God was very helpful to the Chinese. It has been relatively sunny during this period, and early warning aircraft can always conduct air early warning and monitoring under better working conditions.

The powerful lineup of fourteen warships is extremely dazzling on the screen. From the time of discovering these targets, the air early warning aircraft have firmly set their sights on them.

"Commander, this British and French coalition fleet, should you eat or not?"

Looking at the telegram sent back in a hurry, Cheng Wenli turned his eyes to Xu Jiangwen, meaning that you are the commander of the navy, and you will decide on this battle.

"Eat! Meat passes through your mouth, it is a sin not to eat it!!" Xu Jiangwen waved his hand and determined the future outcome of these fourteen warships.

"Since Commander Xu has spoken, I agree, but warships are different from cargo ships. Let the young men of the navy prepare more. Attract the other side first, try to lure the enemy into the depths, and be sure to wipe them out in one fell swoop!" Seeing Xu Jiangwen making up his mind, Cheng Wenli added the combat requirements next to him.

It is better to have long-range early warning aircraft with airborne early warning aircraft. The fleet of the British and French forces was discovered from a distance, and there were more than 400 kilometers from the location where they were discovered to the last bottom line of the Gret Strait, which is more than 240 nautical miles.

This distance is not too much, nor too little. Naval ships cannot always drive at high speed at maximum speed. In order to protect boilers and other old ships with low speeds, the speed of twenty knots is usually considered a relatively normal naval speed.

In this way, it will take at least ten hours before the opponent can enter the final ambush circle, which gives the Chinese Navy and Navy aviation the precious time to adjust and prepare for the jackal hunting rifle.

Bombers drawn from Kuala Lumpur Air Base and Jakarta Air Base flew all the way to reinforce with anti-ship missiles under the wings. Even the Chinese Air Force leased airport in Bangkok was alarmed, and two bombers carrying anti-ship missiles were seconded from Saigon Air Base in Vietnam to reinforce.

The Bangkok Air Force Base is located in a good location. It is the best position to use it to copy the back of the British and French coalition fleet and give a fatal blow behind it.

It has to be said that it is a good thing that technology is ahead of the other party. The cruiser with the largest tonnage in the British and French Allied Forces fleet is not without air radar, but the ship is built early.

The radar was later modified, and the model was also an early air reconnaissance model, and the detection distance and accuracy were not satisfactory.

Moreover, it also has false alarms and misjudgments from time to time, which often makes people have false alarms. Moreover, even if the weather is clear, the detection distance of the air radar is only about a hundred kilometers.

On the other hand, China's high-altitude early warning aircraft has been hanging far away from about 200 kilometers. I can see you and you can't see me, I can't hit you and you can't hit me.

"Col. The captain asked me to tell you that we have been out for eighteen hours this time. Will the plane continue to fly?" A voice came from the front reminding the commander on the early warning plane.

Although eighteen hours of continuous work are nothing for these young and energetic young men, there are special rest rooms on the early warning plane for people to take turns to rest, the fuel of the plane cannot withstand such a long time.

"Of course, the other party is about to enter the best ambush area, and there is only one early warning aircraft in this area. No one can come to replace us when we leave! Tell the captain to continue flying and maintain surveillance. Correspondent, contact the Air Force tanker to prepare to refuel the aircraft in the air."

"Young guys, cheer up. After fighting this battle, I still have two bottles of good wine. After I get off the field, I will invite everyone to the restaurant!"

“Ohhh!”

Simple words aroused a little morale among the soldiers. Although material guarantees have been much better than before, it is only in China.

For the army, especially those who have fought abroad, the cities of Kuala Lumpur are still devastated. Malaysians are still working hard to rebuild their homes. The various materials and food that were plundered by the Japanese have made the food here still lack.

More beggars and unemployed vagrants saw soldiers wearing Chinese military uniforms and went forward to beg for change, candies, biscuits, canned food and all the supplies they could ask for.

At this time, the price of grain on the black market is still quite high. Even on the black market, there are various locals selling mountain goods in small quantities, but they are usually expensive. Most of them are used to trade with soldiers who want to start a meat-based dentistry and wealthy people to earn more materials and price difference.

If the people on this plane want to get out of the restaurant outside, they will probably be able to eat the colonel poorly. If they encounter any fresh and high-priced products such as wild mountain products, hehe, they will probably have to put the colonel there.

But no one would do such a bad move. Everyone just used a small banquet to celebrate their battle with such an amazing achievement and record together.

Successfully rekindled the morale in the cabin. The colonel came to the bathroom with a smile. Suddenly, he covered his stomach and leaned against the wall of the aircraft bathroom. His face suddenly became pale like a piece of paper, and cold sweats as big as beans continued to gush out from his forehead, and his expression suddenly became quite painful.

Shortly after shaking hands took out a box of pills from the bag of clothes and swallowed them, the colonel's face became better.

"Damn it, the stomach problems caused by irregular eating, drinking, defecation and urination over the past decade are so uncomfortable. If you bear it, bear it again... you have a new dish. You can't let everyone miss the opportunity because of stomach pain!"

Fourteen warships say that there are more, but in terms of quantity, they are double digits. Fourteen warships say that there are fewer, and in terms of tonnage, they cannot be compared with cargo ships.

However, the role of the fourteen warships is powerful. There is no doubt that if you kill these fourteen warships, the naval strength of the British and French forces in the Indian Ocean will be reduced. Only after waiting for the main fleet in the European region to arrive can the stretched navy breathe a little relieved.

In order to kill these fourteen coalition ships wearing shoes, bombers on standby at various aviation bases in the Nanyang War Zone were quickly mobilized in just ten hours. These powerful aerial turrets were not ordinary bombers, but bombers that could carry anti-ship missiles after being modified.

These bombers are scattered in various air bases in Southeast Asia on weekdays. Now, after rapid and effective reconnaissance and dispatch, a huge anti-ship bomber formation is gradually emerging in various air bases.

At the same time, the air base in Banda Aceh was also assembled. Not only did multiple bombers quickly gather here, but more than 60 naval attack aircraft, torpedo aircraft, and various types of aircraft in their own base were also collected from other air bases.

There were hundreds of aircraft participating in the confrontation this time, and such a "high-standard" "welcome" further highlighted the Navy's determination to sink all fourteen coalition warships.

At 4:30 in the morning, on the high-altitude early warning aircraft that was still flying in the sky, the highlight that touched many people's hearts on the screen was still tirelessly advancing towards the south. The Lieutenant Colonel sent a cup of brewed milk tea to the colonel who was still staring in front of the radar surveillance screen.

"How is it? Can you fight? It's almost dawn."

"Well, let's notify you and order all crews to take off and fight!"

The colonel's eyes were a little red, which was the consequence of not sleeping all night. The hand that took the milk tea gently brought the milk tea to his mouth, and whispered the order as easy and simple as drinking milk tea.

Behind this ease, there are generations of hard work, sweat and even blood that many people have devoted to this advanced weapon industry.

At 4:40 in the morning, a trace of white snatching was found in the sky, and a shrill whistle suddenly pierced the quiet sky. A large number of people quickly poured out from the dormitory of the ground crew.

Under the plane parked on the apron, some ground crew members who were on duty all night jumped up like springs to prepare for the plane before takeoff.

No one really fell asleep, just took a nap in their resting places, their ears were always listening to the whistle sounding at any time.

The moment they heard the harsh whistle, their brains immediately changed from a semi-dormant state to a fully excited working state, directing their bodies to make a series of movements and rushing towards their plane.

Aircraft that had been filled with fuel and had ammunition hung were waiting for the pilots to arrive. With the help of the ground crew, the pilot quickly boarded the plane, fastened the seat belts and various auxiliary equipment that had been adjusted, closed the hatch door and cockpit cover. Under the guidance of the ground crew, he activated his engine.

The guide lights of the runway were turned on, and a long dragon composed of several lights appeared in the eyes of everyone. In the dark night, the long dragon composed of these lights would guide them to fly to the sky.

On the ground command tower, the commander who had also been sleeping all night on the tower skillfully dispatched each plane waiting to take off to enter each runway in turn.

When the first bomber flew out of the ground with two huge anti-ship missiles, the ground crew at the airport burst into cheers, although these ground crew members were used to seeing the plane take off - landing - take off - and landing on the runway every day, and this cycle was repeated.

However, it was the first time to face such an expectant fighting mentality. The two bombers dispatched many ground crew members two days ago and had no idea that they were going out to fight.

Just today, all the planes taken off here are for combat. This kind of expectation is like a child who is on a long journey. The mother stands at the highest point at the village and watches the child leave, happy and afraid.

It is because the child has grown up, and the wings of the eagle are finally hard and have to spread its wings and soar in the blue sky, but I am afraid that the child will never return when he goes there.

This complex mentality can only be understood by those who have been parents and those who have worked and lived here. Who has not had contact and communication with a pilot or a crew member or crew member.

Everyone is a soldier who has left the motherland. In addition to letters, you can also be very excited to meet fellow villagers in foreign lands. Here, perhaps the little sentry standing guard is a fellow villagers who joined the army later than you.

So even though the pilot is high, maybe it is not strange that an ace pilot and some of the most inconspicuous soldier are best friends throughout the base.

"Come back! You must come back!"

This is the most sincere wish and expectation in the hearts of all ground staff. They are like parents standing at the entrance of the village - hoping that every child can return to their side intact.

On the vast sea of ​​the South Pacific, there was no one urging the two missile ships and the ships escorted by them last time, but all the crew members stayed at their jobs since last night.

All the soldiers in the computer room cabin carefully checked the work instructions of each engine, checked every pipe, and listened carefully to every strange noise in the huge noise of the engine that was different from the past. All the soldiers in the computer room were working hard to ensure that the maximum power was output to the ship at any time.

In the missile weapon compartment, the soldiers here carefully checked each anti-ship missile several times, and even did not let go of a wire and circuit connector.

The shell and hatch of the launcher were even more spotlessly wiped, and the backup anti-ship missile was also lying quietly on the waiting rack, waiting to enter the launch tube with the help of the soldiers beside it, and complete its shocking attack.

In the communication room not far behind the cab, several soldiers who usually rotated were waiting in the communication room under the leadership of the communication officer. They had been wearing communication headphones on their ears for a long time. The earphones without any sound made people quite bored.

The pen in their hands flipped quickly in their hands, and the pointer of time flipped slowly rotated to the next moment.

"Col. All the aircraft participating in the battle at the three airports have taken off. According to the time difference, all entered the attack position in 70 minutes. Two Navy missile ships have also entered the best shooting area 160 kilometers away and are driving in the same direction as the British and French fleet in accordance with the direction we designated."

The lieutenant colonel took the reply message he had just received and came to the colonel commander who had just finished drinking milk tea. No one noticed that the colonel's hand had just stuffed the bottle of medicine back into his pocket and throat, and a few pills mixed with milk tea had just flowed into his stomach through it.

"Very good. Pay attention to the time when the sun rises, launch missiles from the east, and use the rising airflow of the sun and the interference of the sunlight background to the viewer's sight. Give more time and better raid effects for the missile raid. The attack aircraft group then raids at low altitudes, and quickly expand the results when the missile strikes the opponent and causes chaos!!"

The colonel finalized the final attack plan. In fact, this plan had been drafted several hours ago and was waiting for the final moment to be implemented.

On the other side of the battlefield, white people from the West also looked at this magnificent and charming ocean.

"It's so beautiful, although it's a view that you can see almost every day."

Standing on the lookout on the cruiser, the lookout John would come to the lookout to watch the sunrise every day whenever he had the chance. This is what everyone on the cruiser knows. The captain did not restrict his preference when he was not on duty. Anyway, his job was to stand on it and look out.

If he wants, it doesn’t matter if he eats, drinks, defecation and sensation are all on it.

John has a pair of sharp eyes, and has been engaged in observation for a long time, and has accumulated a lot of experience. He has observed and judged some things in advance many times before, allowing the cruiser to avoid many dangers. The captain and the driver also like this young man who likes to see the scenery on the observation deck.

"John, I really envy you and admire you. You can actually see such boring things with relish, and you can also see anything different on such a vast sea." Another lookout beside you yawned,

Although he was on duty, he did not raise the telescope because he knew that with John by his side, he could also be lazy.

Not only did John maintain a high degree of curiosity and good mood for boring things every day, but he could also often find various things floating on the sea.

During the floating boat, lifeboat, iceberg, island, and even during the training with the naval submarine, John also discovered the submarines trying to attack. This made the captain and the first mate look at John with admiration. Not only did he pay attention to him, but he could treat him differently from others in terms of food and treatment on the ship.

"That's because you didn't look at it carefully. In fact, on the same sea, any sudden scene will be like a stain on a white paper, destroying the overall beauty. As long as you regard the scene you see as a beautiful oil painting, you will feel uncomfortable if you eat a fly, so that you will easily find what you want to find."

John smiled and explained his thoughts to his partner. The cheerful John no longer knew how many times it was to explain the key points to his new partner around him.
