In the evening, the battleship Malaya appeared near Bandar Abbas with more than a dozen cruisers and destroyers.

At this time, both sides discovered each other's existence.

Although Bandar Abbas is only a small port, its location is very important.

Now tens of thousands of Persian troops are gathered here.

The First Armored Division of the Babylonian Defense Force is stationed here.

This is also the bottom line of the Persian side. With Bandar Abbas as the core, a defense line is built to block the British attack.

So at this moment, Bandar Abbas and its surroundings are crowded with people.

Looking at the scene in Bandar Abbas, the captain of the battleship Malaya felt as if he had hit the jackpot.

"This is where the main force of the Persian army is.

Let all the warships prepare for battle and blow up the port of Abbas and the city into ruins."

It was a whim before, and I was ready to come here.

I didn't expect that I would accidentally discover the main force of the Persian side.

It seems that the scale is not small, which is very important information.

On the Persian side, a Persian colonel officer who is the commander of the fortress also issued the same order.

"All artillery batteries are ready for battle. If enemy ships enter the range of 20 kilometers, they must open fire immediately. They must not be allowed to interfere with Bandar Abbas."

A total of 8 artillery batteries were built around Bandar Abbas, with a total of 24 308mm caliber coastal defense guns.

This coastal defense gun is a triple-mounted naval gun made in China, with a maximum range of 30 kilometers.

The armor-piercing and armor-piercing shells it fired can penetrate the armor of the battleship Malaya at a distance of more than 20 kilometers.

These naval guns were built within two months with the assistance of China.

Persia itself wanted to use it to control the Strait of Hormuz.

After all, coastal defense guns are cheap and effective.

Unexpectedly, they were used by accident this time.

The British army was unaware of the existence of these naval guns.

Because they did not have any advantage in the air, they could not conduct aerial reconnaissance deep into Persia. , naturally, they could not know the situation on the Persian side.

When the battleship Malaya was about 30 kilometers away from Bandar Abbas, neither side opened fire.

At this range, the maximum charge is required, which will cause greater damage to the naval guns, and the accuracy is very touching.

After all, in the era without precision-guided weapons.

The longer the distance, the greater the error. This is true even if they are sailors of the British Royal Navy.

The Persian fortress artillery unit also remained motionless.

When the British fleet approached to about 20 kilometers.

The Persian fortress artillery opened fire first.

At this moment, the sky has been shrouded in darkness, and only a faint light is still spreading on the sea.

"put!"

"boom...boom...boom....."

24 The 308mm naval guns began firing in unison.

Dozens of shells were directed at the battleship Malaya.

""Artillery fire!"

Only when the shells were very close did the experienced soldiers hear the whistling sound of the shells.

By this time, it was already late.

Because except for tracer bullets, shells were difficult to detect in the dark.

"boom...boom....boom....."

Fixed artillery fire has certain advantages in attacking targets on the sea.

Although no shells hit the Malaya, two shells were hit.

This sudden bombardment immediately stunned the British fleet.

"Coastal artillery, the Persians have coastal artillery, damn it, retreat immediately, retreat immediately."

Only idiots would give orders to engage in a firefight with coastal artillery.

Especially in the dark.

Obviously, the Royal English Fleet could not be idiots.

Although the Royal Navy has declined, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and they still have absolute dominance in terms of naval talent.

But now they have fallen into the trap set by Persia.

At this moment, on the left and right sides in front of the British fleet, there were more than 10 S2 torpedo boats rushing towards the British fleet at a speed of more than 40 knots.

Taking advantage of the cover of night, the British side had not yet discovered their traces.

However, the battleship Malaya was hit by a shell at this time.

This also focused the attention of all British warships on the battleship Malaya.

These deadly weapons approaching at high speed have not been discovered.

It was not until several nautical miles away from the British fleet that a British destroyer discovered the incoming torpedo boats.

"This is not our ship, it must be the Persians, damn it, they are going after the Malaya"

"They are so fast, they must be torpedo boats, they must be torpedo boats.

This feature is completely consistent with the characteristics of a torpedo boat, and it is not difficult to identify it.

"There are also more than ten ships here, and their speed is at least 40 knots, damn it."

Suddenly, the British fleet fell into greater chaos.

There were 24 coastal defense guns firing in front, and now there were torpedo boats attacking.

The destroyers and cruisers also approached the Malaya at full speed.

At the same time, their artillery began to fire in unison.

No matter whether they could hit the target or not, they would just fire first.

The night was the best cover for the S2 torpedo boats.

They were all determined to die with the British battleship Malaya.

When they set out, they all wrote suicide notes.

They knew that most or even all of them might not be able to go back.

Even if they could get close to the battleship Malaya and sink it. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)

But the surrounding destroyers and cruisers would tear them all apart.

The battleship Malaya also discovered the torpedo boats getting closer and closer.

The secondary guns on the ship began to fire frantically at the torpedo boats.

During this period, two S2 torpedo boats were hit.

The flames of the explosion filled the two S2 boats in a short time.[]

Finally, there were 6 torpedo boats approaching the Malaya battleship on the left, less than 3 kilometers away.

One by one, the S2 torpedo boats began to launch their TP-2 acoustic self-guided torpedoes.

The TP torpedo is also a torpedo specially used by China for foreign trade. It is an improved model of the Yu-2 torpedo.

Previously, the Yu-2 torpedo sank the battleship Nagato.

TP-The performance of the S2 torpedo is stronger than the previous Yu-2.

The maximum range can even reach 6 kilometers, the maximum speed is 40 knots, and it has passive acoustic self-guidance capability.

If the British army carries jamming equipment, there is still a chance to interfere with this torpedo.

But it is obvious that the battleship Malaya did not.

No matter how it dodges, it cannot avoid the fate of being hit by torpedoes.

The 12 torpedoes fired by these 6 S2 torpedo boats killed the battleship Malaya.

In the explosion, the main battleship of the British Royal Navy was sunk.

And Persia also paid a heavy price.

Only 8 S2 torpedo boats returned to Abbas Port.

A total of 14 were lost, and this battle was very tragic.

But it also played the prestige of the Persian Navy.

After all, they sank the main battleship of the British Army.

At the cost of 14 200-ton boats, the battleship of more than 30,000 tons was sunk. This deal is definitely worth it.

However, this almost wiped out the Persian Navy's already limited resources.

The S2 torpedo boat was not expensive, but the talents that were cultivated with great effort could not be measured by money.

The battleship Malaya was sunk, and the remaining ships had to retreat in a hurry.

This bad news also spread to the Y Fleet.

When Vice Admiral John Ming of the Y Fleet received the news, his face was full of disbelief.

"Did the Chinese join the war?"

In Asia, only the Chinese have the ability to sink their battleships.

If the Chinese attack their battleships, the situation will escalate.

"No, it was the Persian torpedo boats that approached the battleship Malaya under cover of night and launched a torpedo attack. In the end, the Malaya was hit by more than ten torpedoes......."

Needless to say, we all know how miserable the battleship Malaya was.

No battleship can withstand more than 10 torpedoes.

"Bastard! The Persians will definitely pay the price for their actions. 687."

In the waters of central and northern Arabia, on the Fuxi super battleship, Fan Xiangming chuckled after receiving the news from Persia.

"The British paid the price for their pride and underestimation of the enemy.

Since our allies are so powerful, let us do it tomorrow."

Now the main force of the British Y Fleet is within the radar surveillance range of their KJ-100A carrier-based early warning aircraft.

The distance between the two sides is less than 100 nautical miles.

The two sides will be able to meet after dawn.

The navy suffered a big loss, while the army is still advancing all the way.

It advanced more than 50 kilometers overnight.

The situation on the battlefield is unusually smooth, so smooth that it makes people uneasy.

In China, all pre-station preparations have been completed.

This time, the strategic rapid reaction force is still entering Persia to fight.

A total of five divisions of troops were selected.

They are the 100th Airborne Division, the 1st Airborne Division, the 25th Light Combined Division, the 20th The 6th Light Combined Division and the 27th Light Combined Division.

The troops of these five divisions are absolutely elite troops of the Chinese National Defense Army.

Although the 25th, 26th, and 27th divisions are all light combined divisions.

But they have the ability to fight against armored forces.

They are equipped with a large number of anti-tank missiles.

There are single-soldier launches and vehicle-mounted launches.

Not to mention the 100th Air Assault Division, it is simply the nemesis of tanks.

Their biggest shortcoming may be that they cannot fight for a long time. What they are best at is to fight fast.

At present, these troops have completed their assembly.

The Southern Theater Command and the Western Theater Command have deployed more than 400 Y-8 Bandicoot tactical transport aircraft.、Y-10 Strategic transport aircraft、Y-12 strategic transport aircraft.

The main force of this air transport is still the largest number of Y-8 Bandicoot tactical transport aircraft.

The first to depart is the 100th Air Assault Division.
