Age of Conquest Reborn

On the flagship of the ** Division Fleet "Canglang", the radar officer saw through the radar screen that the Indian fleet was changing its formation at sea. He picked up the intercom and said, "Report to the commander, the British and Indian fleet are beginning to change their formation."

, changed from a one-line formation to a two-way column."

Qiuquan smiled coldly and said: "I just remembered to change the formation now. It's too late. I ordered the aircraft carrier-based bombers to take off. The first wave of strikes targeted the cruisers and battleships of the British fleet. The fleet was divided into two lines, from the flanks.

Outflank and gradually press the British ships to the waters near Sri Lanka Island!"

Lieutenant Colonel Tang Yunfei, who has served as the commander of the aircraft carrier's fighter flight group, stood on the wide deck of the aircraft carrier and watched with eager eyes one bomber after another rushing out of the runway and into the blue sky. He said to the captains behind him:

"You see, I usually ask everyone to practice more skills. When necessary, we fighter pilots can also fly bombers to avoid being so greedy that our eyes will shine. However, today we have no chance!"

For a fleet without aircraft carriers, bombers are the nemesis. The British fleet stationed in India has been without opponents in the Indian Ocean for too long. The fleet's air defense is almost useless, and the British have not thought of it.

, one day, bombs will fall on their own warships.

Major General Jeffrey Hill, through his telescope, saw a group of black bombers in the sky, rapidly growing in size in his field of vision. The torpedoes hanging under the belly of the fish bombers reflected the cold light of metal in the afternoon sun.

, the beads of sweat on his forehead suddenly popped out, he leaned over the intercom and shouted loudly: "Air defense! Pay attention to air defense! Chinese bombers are coming!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another large aircraft group flew over from the due east, several times more numerous than the bombers already overhead. All the British ships and air defense sirens sounded shrilly. Major General Jeffrey Hill could only

Watching helplessly, no fewer than hundreds of Chinese bombers swooped down from the sky above like a dark cloud.

Le Yiqin's bomber group and the fleet's carrier-based bomber group gathered together, and according to the order of the fleet commander, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, they specifically searched for big things like British cruisers and battleships.

Rear Admiral Jeffrey Hill's flagship "Fernandez" became a key attack target because it flew the clearly marked fleet commander's command flag. If calculated based on the tonnage of the warship, his flagship can only be regarded as medium in size, but it is

The command flag revealed his identity.

For the bomber pilots of the ** division, there was almost no anti-aircraft fire and no bombing under the threat of fighter jets. It was just a real-life training. More than a dozen bombers unanimously chose the "Fernandez" as their own.

bombing target.

"Boom! Boom!" Several thick water columns suddenly rose on the sea surface, and the "Fernandez" turned around the clumsy hull. It was probably because of the outburst of character of the Fleet Commander today that he miraculously escaped.

Several roaring bombs were only a few meters away, and the warship of more than 6,000 tons shook violently.

On the deck, the British sailors at various operating positions were not so lucky. Water columns dozens of meters high suddenly hit the deck of the warship, like huge brooms. More than a dozen British sailors danced and fell into the sea.

inside.

Rear Admiral Jeffrey Hill wiped the sweat from his forehead and secretly said that he was lucky. If these bombs hit, the warship would have to be blown up in half. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the communications officer panicked and reported: "

Commander, after receiving reports from ships on the left and right wings, Chinese warships began to attack our fleet. Four of our warships have already caught fire and two have sunk!"

Rear Admiral Jeffrey Hill angrily ordered: "All warships, immediately divide into two lines to meet the enemy, use our numerical advantage to surround the Chinese warships, mix with the Chinese warships, and get rid of the threat of bombers

!”

Suddenly, Major General Jeffrey Hill became silent and looked straight at the sea to the left. Several Chinese torpedo bombers roared past the front deck of the flagship. On the sea, there were six white streaks.

The waves were full of waves and bubbles, like cheerfully jumping dolphins, swimming towards the flagship at high speed.

"Quick, full left rudder, avoid torpedoes!" Rear Admiral Jeffrey Hill shouted hoarsely. It was too late, "Boom! Boom! Boom..." A huge explosion sounded, and the huge "Fernandez"

The hull of the ship suddenly jumped up on the sea surface as if it was hit by a pair of giant hands. Then it fell heavily back to the sea surface and was broken into several pieces amidst the thick smoke and flames.

The waves in the East Indian Ocean flashed, and Major General Geoffrey Hill, his flagship "Fernandez", and hundreds of British sailors disappeared into the blue water.

The high-explosive torpedoes developed by the Special Equipment Research Institute of the Military Industry Bureau of Dingbian Special Economic Zone, in terms of explosive power, would sink the more than 6,000-ton "Fernandez" to the bottom of the sea if hit by two, let alone six.

There are so many pieces that it is reasonable to explode them into several pieces.

In addition to the hundreds of Japanese bombers in the sky, non-stop dive bombing, and the artillery battles between warships, the British ships did not take advantage at all. The Japanese fleet destroyers were equipped with newly developed triple-mounted

Although the caliber of the 280 mm caliber rapid-fire naval gun is nearly one-third smaller than that of naval guns that are often larger than 400 mm.

However, this triple-mounted naval gun excels in the speed of firing. It uses an automatic ammunition supply system. The gunners on the gun position are hidden in a fully enclosed turret. They observe the enemy ship's situation through radar and periscope and lock on it.

It goes without saying that it is safe to attack the target. As long as the gunner steps on the firing trigger, twelve rounds can be fired within one minute.

There are a total of seven such turrets on the front and rear main decks of the destroyers of the ** Division Fleet. Within one minute, nearly a hundred shells roared out. The best way to describe it is that the shells were like locusts.

In order to make up for the shortcomings of insufficient caliber of naval guns, experts from the Military Industry Bureau have worked hard on the explosive power and range of the shells. The power of the shells is no less than that of naval guns with a caliber of 400 mm or more. No warship can withstand it.

More than a hundred rounds of artillery fire, comparable to large-caliber artillery shells, hit more than a dozen British ships in one encounter, causing them to smoke, burst into flames, and collapse.

The fire that soared into the sky detonated the ammunition depot in the cabin. With several huge explosions, the British ship sank to the bottom of the sea. In the sky were hundreds of bombers raining bombs. On the sea were Chinese warships as dense as flying.

In the rain of bullets from the locusts, the more than 60 warships of the task force stationed in India lost more than a dozen ships and injured more than 20 ships in more than 30 minutes. The combat effectiveness of the fleet dropped by more than half in an instant!

The progress of the naval battle and the combat effectiveness of the task force stationed in India greatly exceeded Tang Qiuquan's expectations. If the battle continued at this speed, more than 60 British ships would inevitably become a pile on the seabed in less than three hours.

The pile of scrap metal makes people feel distressed when they look at it.

Suddenly, an idea emerged in Qiuquan's mind, and it firmly attracted him, "Order the army bomber group and the carrier bomber group to return immediately. The fleet is divided into three groups and the remaining British ships are sent to

Rushing towards Sri Lanka Island, armed transport ships and six destroyers will intercept them head-on. We want to capture the remaining British warships!"

Qiuquan's bold idea made the bomber pilots so depressed that they almost vomited blood. What did Commander Tang do? Just as he was working hard, in less than two hours, there were nothing on the sea except the bodies of the British guys and oil stains.

Although no more British warships could be seen, the bomber pilots had no choice but to return home unhappy due to the heavy military orders.

All the battleships and cruisers were lost, and the flagship, together with the commander, sank to the bottom of the sea at the first time. The British ship, which lost its command, was pursued fiercely by the Japanese division fleet, and fled towards the Sri Lanka Island at full power.

No matter which direction the ship had to flee, the warships of the Navy Division surrounded it from the left and right wings and from the rear.

The battlefield quickly shifted. When the British ships saw the coastline of Sri Lanka, they also saw the huge fleet approaching. They were six destroyers serving as fire support for the landing force, and more than a hundred armed transport ships. Together,

Form a huge formation.

The armed transport ship does not have the ferocious firepower of regular warships, but the naval combat-type "Thunder" rocket launcher fired hundreds of volleys, sending strange "hissing" rockets flying all over the sky, like a meteor shower, hitting the unprepared British troops head-on.

ship.

The rocket launcher covered such a large area that no one was missed. Walls of water consisting of thick water columns tens of meters high rose up on the sea surface. The waves rolled and foam flew, just like a boiling pot of boiling water. However, boiling

The dumplings are from more than thirty warships of the task force stationed in India.

Of course, more than a dozen rockets could not sink the remaining warships of the task force stationed in India, but the strange shells flying with long tail flames and screaming really made the captains of the British warships tremble with fear.

Oh my God, how many warships did the Chinese come to?

Although there were no bombers overhead, the tall silhouettes of two aircraft carriers emerged on the sea in the distance. Seeing this situation, the captains of the British ships turned pale. The Chinese actually dispatched aircraft carriers. It was ridiculous.

I thought that it was just a Chinese land-based bomber and could not stay in the skies over the warring waters for too long.

As long as we survive the initial attack by the Chinese warships, there is still hope for escape, but now, there is no hope at all. The Chinese bombers can fly over their warships at any time. The tragic end of the flagship, next

One of them may fall on your head.

There are pursuers behind, blockades in front, outflanks on both sides, and bombers ready to drop bombs at any time. On the vast sea, where is the way out? The task force fleet stationed in India is surrounded by the Japanese division fleet.
