Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Chapter 701: Battle against the British Royal Navy (2)

The waters west of Kalimantan Island,

On the rough sea,

A huge fleet slowly sailed towards Jakarta, Indonesia's largest port and capital.

On the flagship British battleship Vanguard,

Admiral Porter, commander of the task force, is washing up. He is a man with a very regular schedule. He has to get up at 6:10 in the morning and go to bed at 30: in the evening!

They will reach their destination in ten hours. Porter whistled leisurely while shaving.

Have a safe and smooth journey,

The Union Jack of Great Britain is still a golden signboard.

There was a hurried knock on the door, and a British officer stood at the door.

"General, I'm sorry to bother you, but the radar detected a plane of unknown nationality in the sky!"

"Unknown nationality? Call in plain text. If there is no response, send a plane to kill it!"

"Two Seahawks have already flown over, but the enemy aircraft is also climbing rapidly. The USS Eagle reports that the enemy aircraft has reached an altitude of meters. The Seahawks cannot reach that altitude!"

The Sea Hawk fighter is the latest generation of aircraft carriers in the UK. The jet fighter-bombers carried on the Hawk are also the latest carrier-based aircraft in the UK, but their ceiling is only meters!

This time, Admiral Portal brought three aircraft carriers from the mainland, one was the Eagle aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of tons and 84 carrier-based jet aircraft. It was the newest aircraft carrier that had just been launched. Another was the Glorious aircraft carrier and the other was the Vengeance aircraft carrier, both with a displacement of tons and 48 carrier-based piston aircraft. This is almost all the assets of the British Navy now!

Porter suddenly felt inexplicably irritated.

"Where did the plane come from? Could it be from Haizhou?"

"General, it should be a reconnaissance plane!"

"Don't worry about him for now. We'll deal with him when we get to Jakarta!"

"Yes, General!"

After shaving, Porter came to the dining room and began to enjoy his breakfast, which included oatmeal, toast with jam, and bacon and eggs. Dining with him was Captain Frederick of the battleship Vanguard!

Frederick said with some disdain,

"General, have you read the announcement from Haizhou?"

"A ridiculous warning. Are they crazy? This reminds me of the Qing Dynasty. They refused to let us enter the city! Haha, but what happened next?"

"General, why don't we go directly to Haizhou Port? With the 15-inch main guns of our battleships, we can easily bomb Haizhou City into ruins!" Frederick asked puzzledly.

Porter stirred his oatmeal slowly with a silver spoon.

"Now that the Indonesians are eager for revenge, why not let them land first? We can also observe from behind to see what the strength of Haizhou is like."

A shrill alarm suddenly sounded, and in the restaurant, the horn suddenly began to howl.

"An unknown group of aircraft is approaching. Please take your positions and prepare to fight!"

Frederick had an incredible look in his eyes.

"General, is the Haizhou Kingdom crazy? Do they dare to attack our British Empire's fleet?"

Porter continued to drink his oatmeal. He was not panicked at all. This time, the three aircraft carriers brought 180 planes! Although the Indonesians reported that Haizhou also had dozens of planes, he did not think that Haizhou was a qualified opponent of the British Empire!

On the USS Eagle,

Radar soldier Scott huddled in front of the fluorescent screen of the Type 281 height-finding radar. The sound of electricity in his earphones suddenly turned into a sharp buzzing sound.

On the green radar screen, the originally scattered light spots suddenly turned into a jumping light spot, like a dense swarm of mosquitoes before a rainstorm.

His face was pale, and he began to yell into the microphone, "Bearing 270, altitude 8000 feet, number of enemy planes... at least eighty!"

There was a shrill alarm on the deck, mixed with the roar of the steam catapult starting.

Through the observation window, Scott saw Seahawk fighter jets soaring into the sky one after another, and the rockets under their wings glowed coldly in the sunlight.

Britain's radar technology is the best in the world. The aircraft carrier's onboard Type 281 radar can detect aircraft targets at a distance of 200 kilometers!

10 minutes later,

The black spots in the sky have broken through the clouds, and the fighter jets of Haizhou Kingdom are swarming in like locusts. The golden dragon logo on the wings is looming in the clouds. In the blink of an eye, the roar of the planes is deafening, and they begin to swoop down like black vultures.

迎战英国战机的编队是由陆航第一战斗机中队的18架青龙战斗机和13架P51战斗机,第二战斗机中队的15架青龙战斗机和19架P51战斗机组成,

At this moment, 35 "Sea Hawk" fighters have just taken off! 12 "Sea Fury" piston fighters took off from the aircraft carrier "Glorious", and 9 "Sea Fury" piston fighters took off from the aircraft carrier "Vengeance"!

The fighter planes of both sides met in the air, and an air battle broke out!

Li Shaoyang, captain of the 1st Fighter Squadron, had his finger firmly on the trigger. Through the windshield, he saw the silver wings of the British Sea Hawk fighter drawing a dazzling arc in the sun.

"Three o'clock direction! Scatter!" Li Shaoyang pulled the stick suddenly, and the fuselage shook violently to avoid the oncoming tracer bullets.

12.7mm machine gun bullets grazed the skin of the "Qinglong". He pressed the firing button with his backhand, and the four machine guns roared at the same time, and the flames tore through the air, hitting the flaps of a "Sea Fury" and sending them flying.

In the lower right corner, the Qinglong fighter piloted by pilot Zhang Qing was fighting with two Sea Furies. The heavy fighter relied on its thick armor to withstand the rain of bullets. The twin machine guns on both sides of the wing suddenly fired a salvo, smashing the tail of a Sea Fury. The unbalanced British plane fell to the sea, trailing thick smoke, and the propeller was still spinning wildly, splashing waves tens of meters high.

"Pay attention to cross cover!" Li Shaoyang's shout was swallowed by the roar of the engine. He drove the "Qinglong" in a rolling maneuver and bit a "Sea Eagle" that was trying to sneak attack Zhang Qing. The 20mm shells accurately penetrated the fuel tank of the enemy plane, and the "Sea Eagle" instantly turned into a ball of fire.

But at the same time, machine gun bullets from another "Sea Eagle" suddenly attacked from the side and rear, hitting the vertical tail of Zhang Qing's "Qinglong" fighter and causing sparks to fly! The Qinglong fighter fell into the sea with black smoke!

On the other side, the Army Air Force launched its first attack on the Eagle aircraft carrier.

Seven P-51 fighters swooped down like black arrows. The 127mm rockets mounted under the belly of the aircraft shone coldly in the sun. Pilot Wang Hailong bit his lower lip and locked onto the huge outline of the Eagle aircraft carrier in the distance through the scope.

"Three planes on the left wing, follow me to dive! The right wing formation suppresses the anti-aircraft firepower!" The captain's hoarse roar came from the radio. Wang Hailong's fighter plane was the first to break through the anti-aircraft barrage, and the dense 37mm anti-aircraft guns exploded black smoke around the fuselage. He pulled the lever suddenly to avoid the splashing shrapnel, and the wings brushed the hot air waves over the superstructure of the aircraft carrier. The eight 12.7mm Browning machine guns under the wings spewed out flames, and several anti-aircraft gunners on the deck were instantly beaten to pieces.

On the other side, the P-51 piloted by Zhang Liwei suddenly trembled violently - the blast from a shell almost flipped the plane over. He endured the tinnitus and pressed the joystick to the right. The rocket dragged its tail flame past the aircraft carrier island, exploding a water column more than ten meters high on the sea surface. He immediately pressed the machine gun firing button!

A Seahawk fighter on the Eagle had just slid into the catapult track when its wing was broken by a sudden air strafing. The burning wreckage rolled on the deck and fell into the sea.
