Chapter 217 Air Strike Task Force

"It's nonsense. It has no shadow at all. China has always been a country of etiquette. Unlike some people who like to fight undeclared wars, the Chinese government has definitely not sent troops to India." Foreign Minister Wang Chonghui spoke sternly, and the Japanese minister was said to be dejected.

Leave. In the pre-Beiyang period, Japanese Minister Songgang had already gone into a rage. He was speechless when he was retorted. He must have banged the table and shouted for war and to send warships. Are you afraid? In this time and space,

He didn't even dare to use this move to kill Songgang.

Japan's intelligence department quickly took action. The intelligence department established specifically for China was also called the Mei Agency in this time and space. However, the leader was replaced by Ishizaka Fufen, and Kage Sasaki was Ishizaka Fufen's assistant. This agency is still Ishizaka.

He took the initiative to establish it and served as the first person in charge and the director of the Mei Agency.

The most unlucky thing at this time is the task force drifting in the Indian Ocean. It dares not to advance, cannot retreat, and is wasting time in waiting. The Japanese navy is lying, saying that it is not afraid of the Chinese navy, especially the Japanese navy.

At this time, what is most feared is that China will suddenly turn its back on China, and even the elite troops scattered outside will not be able to be recovered.

A group of people were in a daze in Konoe Fumimaro's office. They were so noisy that their mouths were dry and their energy was consumed. They took a break and waited for the news. It was long enough until it got dark before the director of the Mei Agency, Ishizaka Fubu, pushed away.

The door, everyone's eyes looked over at the same time.

"Juzi's feedback is that China has no intention of fighting Japan. Their main force is attacking the Tashkent Fortress in Central Asia. Their president has been studying the situation in Central Asia all day long, and there is absolutely no possibility of sending troops to India." Shi Zhongbu said.

As if the judge pronounced the verdict, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems that the matter in India has little to do with China. It should be the new fighter planes that Britain purchased from China. This is undoubtedly aimed at the empire's Indian strategy. The Chinese hope to use the British to make the empire's warriors bleed more.

"Konoe Fumimaro seems to have the foresight to characterize this matter. In fact, he hopes that this matter will pass quickly, otherwise the Navy Ministry and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to quarrel for several days.

At this time, news continued to come back from various places, and fishing boats and submarines scattered around to monitor China reported one after another. The Chinese naval fleet was still quietly staying in the port, and the ones patrolling outside were some destroyers. Well, the Chinese and keen

Nearly a hundred destroyers have been built, and they claim that their naval strategy is offshore defense. The question is, why build so many aircraft carriers? Therefore, the Japanese have not seen the so-called offshore defense strategy.

In any case, as long as the Chinese navy does not participate in the war, everything is not a big problem. Didn't the Chinese sell fighter jets to the UK? Isn't it just 12 or more? How did they know that President Fang directly gave it to India?

Throwing away the fighter jets of one wing, there were a total of 120 fighter jets from ten groups. The second son of President Fang Da’s family personally participated in the battle and served as the captain of the first group concurrently. Gao Xiaoqiang was actually the deputy captain.

When the finalized information reached Nagumo, he breathed a sigh of relief and ordered the fleet to move forward. Anyway, there was no hope of hiding the British from attacking India. Sooner or later, there would always be an attack.

There was joy and laughter in the British camp in Calcutta. The Chinese Air Force won the first battle, shooting down eight Japanese planes and finding out the situation of the Japanese task force. Alexander attended the dinner in person and delivered a speech to thank the Chinese people for their friendship. Because of this incident, Alexander

A call has been made to China requesting the purchase of China's latest fighter jets to supplement India's supply.

Churchill was very poor now, and how could he have the money to buy something as expensive as a new fighter plane? But he had his own way. He sent a telegram to Roosevelt saying that the performance of the Chinese new fighter plane was far better than the Japanese Zero, and he requested

The United States also produces this Mustang fighter jet and provides aid to the United Kingdom. What is aid? It is free. Churchill now has no intention of restoring the British Empire to the glory of the Victorian era. He is content with preserving most of Britain's overseas interests.

We can't blame Churchill for not having great ambitions. There is really no solution at all. India is a bit out of reach, and the problems in Africa are more troublesome. It is not known when Rommel will launch his next attack. At present, the main force in Egypt is actually two US troops.

Armored divisions and ten infantry divisions, the total British army totaled less than 30,000. The battle in Greece caused Churchill to lose another armored brigade. Churchill, who did not have much property in total, could only rely on others and was not as good as China.

That's good.

Roosevelt took Churchill's telegram very seriously. The U.S. Navy suffered a terrible defeat at Midway. According to the Navy, the main reason for the defeat was that the performance of the fighter jets was not as good as its opponents. The Japanese Zero could easily climb to

10,000 meters, then turn around and dive to kill the US Navy's F4F carrier-based aircraft.

The Chinese are really weird. They obviously have good enough fighter jets, but they want the United States to assist obsolete aircraft like the P-39. Roosevelt was very puzzled. He could only understand that China's production capacity is insufficient and requires U.S. assistance. This understanding is still

Correct, the biggest limitation on China's aircraft production is the engine

The production is insufficient. The main reason is the shortage of skilled workers, which leads to the production limit of Mustang fighter. Forget it if the opponent is Japan, adding a Soviet Union will be fatal. In a two-front battle, some parts must be liberated from the battlefield against the Soviet Union.

The mission of the Mustang fighter plane and P-39 is to attack the ground.

Roosevelt could only ask people in his office to contact China and request the introduction of Mustang fighter jets. During the time when the telegram came and went, the Japanese navy's task force had approached within fifty nautical miles of Calcutta. The British navy in India had withdrawn to Egypt.

Germany was still more important. Therefore, the Japanese navy never found any trace of the British navy, so they boldly began to attack.

Alexander's defense plan was to abandon Calcutta, not because he didn't want to defend it, but because the combat effectiveness of the British and Indian Division was worrying. The Japanese Navy's naval guns were all large-caliber, and nine out of ten Indian soldiers in the British and Indian Division would not be able to withstand it.

Once the camp is blown up, it's over.

Therefore, the defense line retreated thirty kilometers to avoid the range of Japanese naval guns, and at the same time dispatched all aircraft to attack Japanese naval ships. This plan was still very wise. When the Japanese army started to attack, they first released Zero fighter jets to escort them, and then used

Battleships and cruisers bombarded the selected landing sites.

Nagumo carefully released 12 Zeros to monitor possible British air attacks from all directions. Relying on its ultra-long range, the Zeros could hover in the air for a long time. The Zeros shone in the Battle of Midway, and everyone in Japan was

When he thought the Type Zero was invincible, Nagumo received a blow in the head. He was silently praying in his heart that too many Mustang fighters would not appear.

The so-called fear comes from what Chuichi Nagumo is feeling right now. "We found enemy planes flying towards our fleet, the number of which is no less than a hundred." Genda Minoru exclaimed, dropped the microphone and went to the deck.

Run up. The siren sounded, and the Zeros took off one by one from the deck. The well-trained Japanese naval aviation troops completed the formation in a very short time.

What is coming is the Chinese Aviation Volunteer Wing, with 120 Mustang fighter planes covering the British 36 Hurricanes that play the role of attack aircraft and 36 torpedo planes. This torpedo plane is left behind by the British Indian fleet. The one who leads the way is naturally the whole army.

As for the faster Mustang fighter group, the total number of Zeros in the task force was only 62. The original total was 72, of which 8 were killed and 2 were left unrepaired.

Genda Minoru personally piloted a Zero fighter and bravely attacked the slightly lagging British attack aircraft and torpedo planes. The Fanghei Wing responsible for the escort certainly did not let the Zero get close to the slower attack planes and torpedo planes that were loaded with bombs.

Although the Mustang can also carry bombs, to fight battleships and aircraft carriers, you still need torpedo planes. The 225 kilogram bombs carried by the Mustang can only cause some minor damage to the battleship. So I simply didn’t carry any bombs and carried all the bombs.

Machine gun bullets.

The sky quickly became a mess, with more than 200 aircraft circling in the sky. The shrewd Minoru Genda commanded the Zero to stare at the torpedo planes. The problem was that such a battle directly led to the Zero being constantly bitten and hit.

!The sacrifice of the Zero fighter planes was worth it. Torpedo planes were constantly being hit, and the sky exploded into brilliant balls of fire.

After Fang Ping shot down two Zeros in a row, he finally set his sights on Genda Minoru's fighter plane. At this time, the British hurricanes and torpedo planes had desperately rushed to the sky above the task force, braving intensive anti-aircraft artillery fire, regardless of

began to dive.

The British pilots were ruthless when risking their lives. A Hurricane was hit by anti-aircraft artillery and smoked, but they still rushed to the aircraft carrier Soryu regardless. After dropping two 225 kilogram bombs, the fighter plane was also broken into pieces by anti-aircraft artillery.

.But it also left two large holes on the deck of the Soryu and caused a fire. Several soldiers on the aircraft carrier were also killed.

All the artillery fire of the entire task force was directed at the air. At this time, there were still 20 British torpedo planes left. Half of them were destroyed when they passed through the artillery fire, but in the end, 10 torpedo planes dropped their torpedoes.

The targets of these torpedoes are all faster warships and aircraft carriers, they are all aimed at ships carrying soldiers. The British are very smart in their calculations. Destroy your troop transports, and I will see what you use to land them.

This move is indeed quite cruel. Even though they tried their best to avoid torpedoes, some freighters were still hit by torpedoes. One of them was equipped with tanks and soldiers from the armored brigade. Even though Japan's tanks were not very powerful, the steel resources were amazing.

The Japanese army, which was in short supply, regarded these tanks as treasures.

Genda Minoru had fallen into despair. No matter how he dodged, turned and rolled, the enemy plane behind him kept biting him tightly. In order to avoid being shot down, Genda Minoru could only speed up and dive desperately, trying to escape and then fly level.
