Chapter Seventeen and Fourth, Chapter and Crane Cranes Contest
On August 17th, the French Navy's Indian Fleet Commander Labers received a recovery from the British, and immediately returned to Tu Amazona's port with the Governor of Madagascar Anda.
Just when Labers was about to convene officers to meet and want to adjust some of the key positions of the fleet, they were suddenly detained by the Marine Corps.
The Governor of Oande was self -controlled by the army and tried to resist force. He was also forcibly subdued by the Marine Corps. More than 6,000 colonial troops bombarded in a large -caliber cannon, and immediately made birds and beasts.
Lieutenant General Prove Girilio was embraced as a new fleet commander. He immediately ordered the fleet to prepare in the name of Labers and sail at any time.
The fleet's radio station contacted the British, asking the Royal Navy's Atlantic Fleet to go north to take over Madagascar's defense.
The commander of the British fleet, the General Navy's General Charles Forbes worried about the local war situation. Although there are doubts about the French selling, in order to resolve the French Navy as soon as possible, he resolutely concluded that there is an aircraft carrier, a heavy patrol and six destroyers.
The South African local fleet slowly went north along the east coast of Africa, and advanced to Madagascar Island in a warning team.
On August 18th, the striker of the *** Naval Aircraft Carrier Special Fleet appeared on the Seychelles Islands.
The Seychelle Islands is located north of Madagasca, the West Indian Ocean away from the east coast of Africa, consisting of 115 islands.
Compared to other routes, starting from Mauritius in the West Indian Ocean, the journey to India via the Seychelles Islands is shorter and safer. So in 1756, the new Governor of France announced the sovereignty of the Mayridian and its surrounding islands.
And named "Seychelles" after the French Minister of Finance at the time.
However, France's control over Seychelles only lasted for 38 years. In order to protect their interests in India, the British decided to obtain maritime control between Africa and Ceylon.
Without defense, Seychelles was occupied by the British Navy.
On August 31, 1903, King Edward VII of the British King Edward VII officially announced that Seychelles was a British colony. At the same time, the construction of the same shape as London in central Victoria, the city center of Seychelle,
A hospital, and a church school, police station, post office and other institutions opened by the colonial government, which have been put into operation in the following years.
After the Royal Navy's Oriental Fleet suffered a tragic defeat in the Maldives in March this year, the British were not enough to maintain the Western Ocean rule.
Until now, *** people do not know that the Royal Navy's Atlantic Fleet has entered southern Africa, but because the strength of the French Navy's Indian Fleet is not weak, the commander of the aircraft carrier's specialty fleet Nan Yunzhong will be born in the strange sea area.
The ambush circle of the Navy has great psychological pressure, and it is extremely cautious.
After a continuous and detailed investigation by the reconnaissance aircraft, on the morning of August 19th, the main force of the *** naval fleet entered the main island of the Seychel Islands Malier Island.
The most excellent Harbor Victoria Harbor in the Islands. The port is a natural deep -water port, which can accommodate 50,000 tons of warships to settle in. With this harbor that can avoid storms, Nanyun Zhong is as relieved and immediately set Victoria Harbor as Raiders Madagascar's former out -of -base base of Madagascar.
Frequently send reconnaissance aircraft to investigate the movement of the French Navy.
On the same day, Lieutenant Prove Grieh, who was concerned about the *** Navy, used the name of Labers to call the British in the name of Labers.
Fight in the north to consolidate the security of Eastern Africa.
West of the Seychelle Islands is Britain's colonies in eastern Africa, Tanzania, Madagascar West, Mozambique of Portugal, and south of the British Swinland, Basulandland and South Africa colonies.
The French Navy and the *** Navy desperately, Sir Charles Forbes called the French fleet and expressed support for the "justice" cause of the French Navy.
On the 20th, the French Navy fleet was launched, the main force of the fleet marching towards the Chagos Islands, and the fleet aviation team carried the Command Radio to travel in northern Madagascar.
During the nearby noodles, the aviation team's "Jean-Balt" and "Xiafei" aircraft carrier, under the protection of two "La Gali Sony" class, under the protection of six super destroyers, to Seychelles
The islands move forward.
At this time, the *** Navy is searching for the islands of the Seychel Islands one by one to prevent the French Navy from sneak attacks. You must know that people who often like to attack others are most afraid that others will use the same tricks to deal with themselves.
At 7 am on the 25th, after three days of hiding a cat, they moved to the 70th "Jean-Bal" and "Xiafei" and "Xia Fei" aircraft carrier near the Agarshla Islands in the southeast of the Seychel Islands.
The carrier -based aircraft screamed to fly into the blue sky. After a French pilot flying westward for a long time, he folded to the north, and a sneak attack on Victoria Harbor, which basically had no air defense capacity, bombed the Japanese destroyer in one fell swoop.
Four ships.
Nan Yunzhongyi, who is resting in the back garden apartment in Victoria Harbor Harbor, was shocked and angry. He immediately instructed that the first aircraft carrier team swimming in the northern waters of the Seychelle Islands immediately sent a reconnaissance aircraft to search for the southwest where the plane came.
At this time, the French naval aviation team that recovered the carrier -based aircraft has sailed eastward at full speed and merged with the main force at the Chagos Islands.
Three days ago, I got rid of the US and British Navy ***, and rushed to the French Navy American Branch Fleet at the Port of Titana, Madagascar.
Combining with the main force of the fleet.
After arriving at the ground, the generals of the American Sub -fleet knew the truth of the matter.
However, most of these generals have dark ghosts in their hearts. In addition, family members emigrate to South China. At the same time, they are not very optimistic about the current prospects of France. Under the temptation of heavy money, they chose to rely on South China. There are also a few stubborn people.
The general who insisted on loyalty to General Labard was detained as well as the general.
When searching for the southwestern southwest of the Seychella Islands in the *** Navy's reconnaissance aircraft, it was found that there were a lot of black smoke in the air in front of the sea. It seemed to be the case of the main fleet. Immediately informed this abnormality to the fleet command.
Nan Yunzhong's general determined that it was the position of the French Navy's main force, and immediately ordered the first aircraft carrier team to swim in the southwest
At the time of more than a hundred nautical miles, the first wave of fighters of the Navy rose from the aircraft carrier. After the team finished the team, rushed the southwest.
At this time, the sky was clear and the tumbling blue waves of the Western Indian Ocean were dotted with countless emerald-like islands, creating a charming tropical ocean scene.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the Japanese dive bombers discovered the target and rushed towards it. After approaching the target, the Japanese naval aviation discovered that the British Navy's Union Jack was flying in the fleet below.
But at this time, the Japanese naval aviation could no longer care so much, because the British Navy also discovered the Japanese fleet at this time, and was turning the ship's bow, preparing to sail into the wind, so as to quickly release the aircraft on the fleet mothership.
Unfortunately, the British's struggle was in vain. As the dive bombers roared down, the dark Japanese bombs poured mercilessly onto the deck of the ship.
***The First Torpedo Squadron of the Navy's First Aircraft Carrier Squadron, braving the intensive artillery fire from the British fleet's two light cruisers and four destroyers, launched a fierce attack on the opponent's aircraft carrier. Three torpedoes immediately hit the target. Royal Navy
The aircraft carrier "Fury" suddenly burst into flames. A few minutes later, the Second Torpedo Squadron pursued the victory and hit the "Fury" with four more torpedoes.
At the same time, the Japanese dive bombers concentrated their firepower on the "Fury" one after another. One of the 500 kilogram-class aerial bombs landed right in the middle of the flight deck of the "Fury" aircraft carrier. The deck immediately
Thick smoke billowed out, and a quarter of an hour later, the British's first true aircraft carrier was billowing thick smoke and spitting flames, suddenly turned over and disappeared from the sea.
As the main leader of the British Navy's Atlantic Fleet heading north, the "Furious" aircraft carrier formation was attacked by Japanese naval aviation. At the same time, the aircraft carriers taking off from the decks of the "Glory" and "Ark Royal" aircraft carriers where the main fleet was located
A reconnaissance aircraft also discovered traces of the Japanese Navy aircraft carrier.
Fleet Commander Sir Charles Forbes had no time to consider where the French navy had gone and immediately led the main fleet to attack.
Of course, to deal with the opponent's aircraft carrier, the first thing to consider is to use our own carrier-based aircraft. Following Sir Charles Forbes's order, seventy bombers, torpedo planes and fighter jets took off and headed directly towards the discovered Japanese warships.
Pounced in the sea area where the ship was.
At the location indicated by the reconnaissance plane pilot, the British naval pilots indeed discovered a small fleet, a huge ship, surrounded by five or six warships. They witnessed the densely packed British fleet, and the escorting warships spit out angry tongues of fire.
Fireworks exploded in the sky.
The British naval officers all harbored a deep hatred for the Japanese aircraft carrier that had brought them great humiliation, so they rushed down in a swarm and surrounded the huge ship, bombing it for more than 20 minutes, watching it.
It caught fire, exploded, and finally raised its buttocks on the rough sea and gradually sank.
The British Navy pilots were overjoyed and immediately telegraphed the exciting news to Sir Charles Forbes' command room - the sinking of a Japanese Navy aircraft carrier.
This was the first time that the British Navy sank a Japanese aircraft carrier in a naval battle. Sir Charles Forbes couldn't help but be overjoyed and immediately reported the victory to London. At the same time, he sent a telegram to commend the officers and soldiers of the air force that launched the attack.
However, the British made a mistake. Sometimes between the Western Ocean Islands, sometimes it is inexplicable. With the rapid decrease in visibility, the British reconnaissance aircraft regards the *** fleet oil tanker and five or six protected destroyers as an aircraft carrier as an aircraft carrier.
For the formation, although the pilots responsible for the bombardment felt that the situation was a bit weird, the tanker was wide and flat, and the flat deck was indeed not much different from the aircraft carrier at first glance, so the mistake happened.
The night fell, and the two sides tied the soldiers.
The Western Oceanic Islands resumed the calmness of the past. For the first time, the *** Navy obviously occupied the upper hand. In the afternoon attack, not only sinking a British Navy aircraft carrier, but also a heavy cruiser, two destroyers, and two destroyers.
Enter the sea bottom and shot down nearly 20 planes in the British Navy, and the results are brilliant.
When the British Navy and the *** Navy died in the Western Ocean.
After a few consecutive days of hardships, at 9 am on the same day, my fleet met with the *** Navy's carrier special fleet near the Seychel Islands.
Although we have caused major casualties to the enemy, but helpless tactics are overwhelmed, the ship is seriously damaged, and the flagship will sink. I -Rabber, swore with the honor of the French Navy, coexist with the fleet, and live a long live French Navy!
The nearly "singing" telegram sent by the Indian Ocean Fleet made the Viji government a mess. Everyone did not understand what happened in the waters in the east of Africa, especially the French Navy as the general of Darlang, who regarded the French Navy as a private property.
Immediately asked the fleet to ask, but there was no news to reply. Darlang immediately found Belong, and then went to the German Embassy together.
The Germans were very surprised by the intentions of Bedang and Dallang, and quickly reported the situation to Berlin.
The Intelligence Department in Germany immediately launched an investigation. Since the Navy was fighting with the British Navy at that time, and the Navy occupied the upper hand, the situation was initially confirmed from the Japanese camp.
The future is not good.
On the night of the 25th, Nan Yunzhong got a consultation from the Battlefield and the Joint Fleet Command -Do you defeat the French Navy fleet in the daytime battle?
Nan Yunzhong has not figured out where the British Navy comes, so he vaguely declare in the re -power: Maybe! But the cruel battle will continue!
Nan Yunzhong's words were interpreted as modesty, and the Japanese base camp quickly issued a state of war -in the Western Indian Ocean Naval Battle on the 25th, the Great Imperial Navy showed her bravery, eliminating the French Navy's main fleet that occupied their strengths, and initially established the Indian Ocean
hegemony!
The media around the world quickly transmitted this news back to China. The first reaction of the British was that the French Navy had failed. Although some regrets, the hidden safety hazards around them were eliminated.
The Germans with strength were very disappointed. The German ambassador comforted the Vichy government officials without asking.
Inside the high level of the Vishi government, Darlang's hit is the biggest. His fame and power all come from the Navy. Now there is no navy.
In the official newspaper the next day, he wrote that he called on the French people to "turn sorrow into power" and "live well!"
Knowing the strength of the French Navy, the United States could hardly believe the brilliant results achieved by the French Navy. After receiving confirmation from the British, German and French Vichy governments, they could not help but have a high opinion of the strength of the French navy.
points, once again strengthening the defense of Pearl Harbor. At the same time, the U.S. Navy quickly adjusted its shipbuilding plan, making the production of aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft a top priority.
However, at this time, Nagumo Chuichi did not know the consequences of his ambiguous answer, and was still trying his best to deal with the attack that the British Navy might launch at any time.
Sir Charles Forbes, Commander of the Royal Navy's Atlantic Fleet, received domestic intelligence. Although he was full of doubts, he still agreed with Prime Minister Churchill's judgment that after the decisive battle with the French Navy, the Japanese naval strength would inevitably be severely weakened, although it is still unclear.
***The damage to naval ships, but with the strength of the French navy, it is impossible to do nothing. There is no doubt that now is the best time to regain hegemony in the Indian Ocean, so the Royal Navy must actively attack to gain sea control in the Indian Ocean region
.
In the early morning of the 26th, the atmosphere in the western Indian Ocean was extremely tense, and a war was imminent.
The *** Navy has five aircraft carriers, two high-speed battleships, six heavy cruisers, four light cruisers, and fifteen destroyers. Although the British Navy lost one aircraft carrier (formerly part of the South African Fleet) and one heavy cruiser, two
destroyers, but still retains two aircraft carriers, three battleships, eighteen heavy cruisers, and twenty-eight destroyers. If a close combat occurs, the chance of winning is much higher than that of the opponent.
The British navy decided to take advantage of the weakness of the Japanese navy and vowed not to retreat if it failed to achieve its goal. The Japanese navy has not failed since the beginning of the war, and its morale is high. It strives to work hard and achieve greater success. The strength of both sides can be said to be great.
Half a catty and half a pound, there is a lot of potential for a fight.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on the 26th, the reconnaissance plane of the Japanese Navy once again took the lead in discovering the British fleet and immediately reported the situation to the headquarters. At the same time, the reconnaissance plane of the British Navy also sent back a telegram almost at the same time.
At 9:30 in the morning, Nagumo Chuichi ordered ninety aircraft from three aircraft carriers to take off, divided into five formations, and pounced on the British fleet with lightning speed.
At 10:30, the fighter planes taking off from the "Sanglong" aircraft carrier flying in front first spotted the British warships. This time the British navy was much more clever and divided the fleet into two formations, the "Glorious" and the "Ark Royal"
They were about nine nautical miles away, and fighter jets were dispatched to escort them.
The bombers and torpedo planes of the Japanese navy were about to repeat their old tricks, but they were tightly bitten by the British carrier-based fighters. For a while, they were unable to use their hands and feet and were stalemate in the air.
However, as the best carrier-based aircraft pilots of this era, *** pilots often put on outstanding performances at critical moments. At 10:55, more than ten dive bombers, under the cover of an equal number of Zero fighters, broke through
British fighter jets
intercepted and dived towards the "Glorious". A 500-kilogram-class aerial bomb hit the right side of the bow of the ship, causing gasoline to burn. In an instant, the fire spread across the entire deck. Another aerial bomb hit the tail, and the "Glorious" suddenly
It turned into a running coffin of fire.
At this time, another wave of bombing of the Navy rushed in time, biting the embarrassing "Glory", and bombarded it again and again.
The plane could not take off, landed, and more than a hundred people were killed and injured, like a leather dog that was interrupted by the spine bones, and escaped from the injury.
While the *** Navy sent a fighter to attack the British fleet, the sixty British fighters also took off from the "Glory" and the "Royal Ark", and fiercely rushed towards the *** fleet.
At 10.55, the British fighters flew over the *** fleet, and was surprised to find that the Japanese army's zero fighter jets had been waiting. I have to say that the number of carrier -based aircraft aircraft of the five aircraft carriers in *** is almost Britain.
The fleet is more than 2.5 times, so when acting, it is even more ease.
With the cruisers around the aircraft carrier, the destroyer fired together, and the British fighter fell. The remaining British planes, while avoiding the killing of the zero -type fighter, looking for the flaws of the sea fleet.
They rushed to the *** aircraft carrier again and again, and the several torpedoes cast on the plane were rushed to the key points of the aircraft carrier at the speed of 50 verses.
Although the Japanese aircraft carrier carried out snake -shaped avoidance in time, there was still a torpedo hit the front part of the aircraft carrier of the "Sanglong".
The aircraft carrier all used the water barriers. Although it was difficult, after repair, it still returned to the Victoria Harbor of the Seychelle Islands.
The disadvantage of the British Navy in the number of aircraft carriers has led to the overall collapse of the war situation.
At 12:35 noon, the British Navy's fighter used to protect the fleet was shot down one by one by the nest, and the "Glory" aircraft carrier in the retreat encountered the torpedo attack of the Japanese torpedo machine chasing at the end.
A straight part of the left side side, a hit under the right side of the right side, and one exploded in front of the ship.
Finally, the four 500 kg -class bombs hit the hits in a row of the bombers, and directly detonated the 20 1000 pound bombs and 48 torpedoes in the "Glory" aircraft carrier machine ammunition library.
During the European War, the aircraft carrier, a brave -level large -scale light cruiser "Glory", was finally unwilling to sink into the sea.
At this time, the British have completely felt the battle without air power, what sad thing for the navy.
Now there are more than 100 nautical miles away from the opponent's fleet. If you want to rely on the fleet's advantage in the number of main ships to achieve the victory of the naval battle, it is already delusional. At the same time as the opponent can be avoided, it will frequently send carrier -based aircraft to attack themselves, but because of yourself, because of your own, but because of yourself
The carrier -based aircraft was lost and could not be returned. No one could bear the taste of passive beating, so the Royal Navy's Atlantic Fleet Commander, Sir, Donada, ordered the total retreat.
*** The Navy is unreasonable, chasing at the end of the title, chasing the British fleet all the way, before sunset, sinking three British Navy's heavy cruisers, seven destroyers, only 20 auxiliary ships, the British Navy suffered suffered
After the Maldives' naval war, another defeat was once again.
