It was the first time for Gao Fei to encounter an enemy plane at a high altitude. Almost the moment the enemy plane entered its field of vision, the line of fire formed by two aviation machine gun bullets had crossed and shot towards Gao Fei. At that moment, Gao Fei was almost blocked. A reconnaissance plane faced two fighter planes, and the reconnaissance plane was within the range of the opposite side. If the situation continued like this, the result would undoubtedly be that the reconnaissance plane fell, and Gao Fei would be the first pilot to die in the official air combat in history forever.

But of course, Gao Fei was unwilling to encounter this end. At that moment of life and death, the pilot's subconscious mind formed by the trials saved him. He pulled the joystick suddenly and almost used his strength to suck his breasts. The petite skylark rose up in an instant, soaring straight up, almost at a 70-degree angle, avoiding the two bullets and flying out of the enemy's attack circle.

As the crystallization of the most survivable technology among the Imperial fighter jets, the reconnaissance aircraft was the most important technology of survivability. At this moment, its extreme climbing force and high speed were displayed, and in the blink of an eye, it climbed to a height of 10,000 meters. The enemy aircraft crossed behind the flying high, chased after a while, and then gave up helplessly.

At this time, Gao Fei turned around and realized that the enemy could not reach him. He turned around and looked at it. Sure enough, two enemy planes were wandering back and forth at an altitude of six or seven thousand meters, but could never get up again. Even if the altitude was added with the strong air machine gun, it would not threaten an existence like Skylark.

Oh! Sure enough, the enemy did fly less than eight thousand meters, but the altitude was infinitely close, and the range of the machine gun could already threaten the altitude of eight thousand meters.

So, just now, Gao Fei played an extreme adventure and was almost kosted by the enemy.

It seems that the performance of the enemy's fighter jets has improved a lot. This time, the enemy's fighter jets have improved a lot compared to the Battle of Northern Xinjiang. This situation must be reported as soon as possible. In Ceylon, the enemy actually had Air Force fighter jets ambushing, which is also a new situation. After being transmitted back, it has a great impact on the empire's strategy and tactics, which means that the scope of the Imperial Air Force's activity will be greatly reduced.

As a reconnaissance aircraft pilot, Gao Fei is one of the best in this regard.

There is no doubt that this is an important message. Its significance is even more significant than all the situations that Gao Fei had just worked here for a few hours and photographed.

Gao Fei, who was in a false alarm, calmed down and hurried back with excitement and excitement. This time he made great contributions.

After returning to Myanmar, Gao Fei's report indeed attracted the attention of the command center. Deng Ai quickly passed this information to the special mixed fleet at sea.

Zhou Yu and Li Dingguo received the news and were very grateful. This must be a huge variable. Now the enemy has such high-performance fighter jets. Who can guarantee that there will be no real land-based bombers? If the entire fleet covers its head without any preparation, if it really encounters an enemy air strike, it will definitely suffer a great loss. After all, the navy cannot compete with the air force.

It seems that many things in this time and space are no longer the original time and space situation. Since large-scale tank wars appeared in North Africa decades ahead of schedule, the performance of the enemy's fighter jets once again surprised the National Defense Forces.

This time, the National Defense Forces will inevitably encounter greater challenges. War is indeed the first driving force to stimulate the development of military technology.

"The situation has changed. The fighter jets from Bangladesh Airport must be required to take off for a long distance to participate in the war. Otherwise, it would be too dangerous for the fleet to line up alone." Zhou Yu said seriously. This situation was definitely beyond his expectations. It has become the number one obstacle for the fleet to complete its mission.

Now the special-mix fleet has reached the Andaman Sea, and although the surrounding airspace can still be protected by fighter jets taken off on Sumatra Island. However, after driving there, the range of the fighter jets is very limited. After flying over such a long distance, the fighter jets themselves do not have much combat time. In this way, they will fight at an absolute disadvantage, and the enemy may threaten the entire fleet on the sea at any time.

For a time traveler, no one knows how small the warships of this era survive the premeditated air strikes. Even the inexperienced bombers are enough to threaten the seemingly indestructible steel body.

Li Dingguo frowned and replied:

"But even if it takes off from Bangladesh, the distance from Ceylon is absolutely impossible to say it is close. Can the Imperial Air Force still maintain Ceylon's air supremacy after flying such a long distance?"

Yes! Bangladesh is not much closer to Ceylon. Land-based fighters take off from here and fight against the enemy are also very dangerous. Think about it, after flying over a thousand kilometers, the Imperial fighters may face the danger of exhausting fuel and drying out at any time. The return flight is still more than one thousand kilometers. In this way, can the fighter guarantee a return? Even if the performance is an absolute advantage, the result is probably many failures. The enemy doesn’t have to do anything else, just drag you to play.

Alas! aircraft carrier, aircraft carrier! At this time, both of them suddenly thought of this thing in their hearts. With aircraft carriers, everything in front of them will inevitably be solved. At this time, the strategic role of aircraft carriers is the unquestionable maritime overlord, which gave birth to the heyday of the era of global hegemony in the Navy. At this time, if there is it in the fleet, there is no need to have many. As long as there are two, less than a hundred imperial fighters, it is enough to rule the sky of Ceylon.

But now, for the reason of confidentiality, although the Empire has done relevant preparations, it has not taken action to get it out for a long time. The Imperial Navy now has no aircraft carrier to use.

This is really regrettable and sad!

what to do?

Do you go with your head? Obviously not a wise decision.

Or, if you give up this plan and still advance by land, it would be too slow. The reason why the Imperial Defense Forces wanted to use the navy to start the Ceylon landing plan was because the Indian continent was too big. From north to south, the two armies were smooth sailing. It would probably take more than half a year.

This is completely inconsistent with the Empire's usual style of quick battles and decisions, and it will inevitably increase military spending greatly. As time goes by, the burden on the Empire will increase. There are complaints from all walks of life, and media doubts will inevitably follow.

You should know that the reason why the empires won every battle was that their national strength was not affected too much. Instead, they fought stronger and stronger. Everything was related to the meticulous planning of the war by the Imperial Staff and the cabinet and the strong implementation of the process. The prosperity of the arms industry was promoted through war, but this scale was controlled within a limit. In each war, the imperial army seemed to be grand, but in fact they did not dispatch many troops and fought neatly. There was no drag. Naturally, it did not greatly consume national strength, but promoted a certain amount of industrial development.

This is incomparable to the war in Europe.

If the empire dispatched such a large army in the Indian conquest, and had to fight for more than half a year, the empire's national strength and the perfect process of rapid domestic development would undoubtedly be affected, which was completely inconsistent with the plans of the cabinet and the General Staff.

If the war is fought like this, several important generals at the Front Army Headquarters will be responsible.

For a time, Deng Ai, Zhou Yu, Jiang Wei and Li Dingguo, and several generals at the Front Army Headquarters made frequent radio waves, but it was a dilemma and no one could make a decision.

Suddenly, Zhou Yu seemed to think of something and said to Li Dingguo: "Stop moving forward and don't rush back for the time being. Call Your Majesty in Nanjing directly. This strategy was achieved by His Majesty the Emperor. Now when we encounter the situation, of course we must let Your Majesty who is always paying attention to know. Follow his guidance, are you right?"

Li Dingguo must have, his eyes lit up, right! His Majesty the Emperor!

In front of His Emperor, nothing is called a problem. Such a situation is a difficult and complicated disease for ordinary people, but for His Majesty, it is proved by countless examples in the past. Moreover, now, this place is thousands of miles away from Nanjing, but only a moment for His Majesty.

Instead of letting the fleet get in a dilemma here, it is better to directly expose the problem to His Majesty to solve it. Although it seems a little incompetent, this situation is also a problem that was not expected in advance, isn’t it?

"Well, it's right. Now it's time to obey His Majesty's Hadith. But the situation may be upside down. We still have to detect the situation on the other side clearly, so that we can avoid asking for it."

Alas! Speaking of this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but sigh in his heart. When something happened, he actually wanted His Majesty to solve it himself. This was already extremely incompetent.

"Yes, this will be solved by the reconnaissance department of the First Army Air Force, which is closest to Ceylon, which is already on standby in Bangladesh."

After saying this, Zhou Yu himself felt that his face had become thicker.

The two of them were planning to stop here, and then discussed with Deng Ai that the fleet advanced towards the Bay of Bengal. At the same time, the air force stationed in Bangladesh took off and long-range reconnaissance of the Colombo Port in Ceylon.

Gao Fei had not figured out the situation there before. We must figure out what the enemy's air force is, where the airport is, and even the performance of the aircraft. If necessary, we must try it.

So, in the next few days, the Imperial Air Force frequently visited Colombo in batches. However, this time, the Imperial Air Force came prepared. More than a dozen reconnaissance planes divided the surrounding areas of Colombo into small grids, filtering them one by one, and making sure to figure out the intelligence of the scale of the enemy air force.

The British Air Force did not have anywhere to hide in the face of this carpet-style search. Soon, they found the airport and took photos. According to the situation, there was indeed an airport outside Colombo. According to its size, based on the preliminary estimate, there were between 80 and 200 aircraft.

It turns out that Britain has a killer move here!

...

Meanwhile, in Colombo, General John Edindoll, commander of the East India Fleet of the Royal Navy of Great Britain in Ceylon, was furious at his subordinates:

"You idiots! A bunch of lowly stupid pigs! I went through so much trouble to invite you from the Africa where birds do not shit. Is it easy for you to expose it to the enemy? A mere reconnaissance plane makes your subordinates dizzy! Don't you know that I brought these planes over to deal with the enemy's large fleet?

Idiot, foolish! It’s simply unforgivable!”

General Edindole's thunder was furious, and the spitting stars almost drown the listeners below, but obviously one of them wanted to explain a few words:

"But, our Air Force is destined to be air combat. When we see the enemy's plane, there is no reason not to intercept it. Moreover, we hid it better in advance, but we really didn't expect that the enemy's reconnaissance planes flew so high, and the most advanced fighter jets in our empire were completely out of reach. This is really amazing. It must be a special design and has no air combat capabilities. Otherwise, with the elite pilots of the empire, the two most advanced fighter jets in the empire will definitely be able to eliminate the enemy! In this way..."

"Bad!"

Unexpectedly, before the unlucky subordinate finished speaking, General Edindoll simply interrupted him with the roughest words.

"And it will be eliminated? You group of pigs, don't you know that the Chinese Air Force is the world's number one? If you encounter the Chinese Air Force, it would be better if you are not eliminated. Although the Imperial Air Force has made great progress in recent years, since it cannot even suppress Germany in Europe, can it be so delusional to suppress the Chinese people here? Let me tell you, the young men from Europe, the East is definitely not as backward as you imagined, and China is definitely not as simple as you imagined.

It can be said that when you are exposed, I can almost imagine that the Chinese air force will come over the sky and cover the entire sky of Colombo. You guys who have brought bad luck to Great Britain, just wait here to burn them all! The strategy I finally thought of has delayed the group of green-headed people like you. You are really...hey!"

Edindole said at the end, with an indignation on his face and almost a desperate look, and walked away with his sleeves.

A few subordinates were left behind and looked at each other in the office, very puzzled.

As for it, wasn’t it just that the Air Force exposed it early? Although the British Air Force cannot completely defeat Germany in Europe, it still has a slight advantage. Will it really lose to these yellow-skinned monkeys in the East? This is the crystallization of the hard work and wisdom of countless scientists in the empire in recent years!

General Edindoll, it seems that he has been waiting for the Eastern world for a long time and has been completely fooled by this land! He actually exaggerated the combat power of the Chinese people so much. No wonder the strategic situation in Asia in the past two years... Tsk tsk! These guys who just didn't dare to talk back in front of the general are now constantly complaining in their hearts.

These young prides of heaven who have just gone from Europe to Africa and Asia are each of them pride of Great Britain. In their hearts, they will never be scared by the name of China, the so-called overlord of the Eastern world. (To be continued...)
