    An order from the ** division commander Tang Qiuli scared the division chief of staff Zhao Yuhe. He was also shocked by his crazy and bold plan. All of this was beyond his understanding.

    Tang Qiuli looked at his chief of staff with a dull expression and said: "Yuhe, the purpose of the war is to stop the war. Our attack by the Army Aviation is to weaken the British military power in the South Asian subcontinent to the greatest extent, so that they  Don¡¯t dare to provoke another war and win permanent peace for Indochina. Go ahead and convey my order!¡±

    Zhao Yuhe reacted and said: "It's the division commander. I will convey your order immediately. I am not afraid of your plan. Moreover, it is beyond the scope of my imagination. I think what you said is very reasonable. However, I  It still takes time to digest!" After saying that, he saluted and left in a hurry.

    Looking at Zhao Yuhe's back, Tang Qiuli smiled helplessly. He also knew that his plan was crazy enough to capture several islands in the East Indian Ocean, especially Sri Lanka.  It is inevitable that the British, who have been arrogant for more than a century, will be driven crazy and fight for their own lives.

    However, this naval fleet combat plan was decided by Tang Qiuli after carefully weighing the current international and Southeast Asian situation. The British were now on the mainland and were suppressed by the Germans. They were only half-breathed.  Before June, any cost or means will be used to prompt the German head of state, Hitler, to capture the British Isles.

    Now that the British mainland has fallen, how powerful is the British army in India? Their plan for the Hukang Valley and Magao battles is to weaken the British strength in India to the greatest extent. From another perspective, even if the British lose their mainland  If India is thinned out, then the blockade formed by itself from the land to the back to block the expansion of the British will be enough to curb the chance of the British rising again.

    The only thing that should be considered is the attitude of the Americans. The only ones who can stand up for the British are the Americans. However, the biggest threat to the Americans now is the Japanese. Moreover, according to the development of the situation in Southeast Asia, there will be another two to three months.  In time, the Japanese will take action against the Americans, and a war between the United States and Japan is inevitable

    By then, the Americans will be too busy taking care of themselves, and are busy with their own interests in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, that they will have no energy to take care of things in the East Indian Ocean. Even if they have the intention to take care of things, they will be unable to do so. What's more, the Americans were beaten to a pulp by the Japanese.  When you are in trouble, you will definitely turn to yourself. Americans are so cunning that they will not do such stupid things.

    Therefore, his plan, which seems crazy and bold, is actually based on the favorable situation of the war in Southeast Asia. In later generations, the Americans will not come up with the first island chain and the second island chain targeting mainland China, blockade and siege.  Blocking China's seaport? Then I will be in the British colony and pull up a chain.

    Regarding the final results of the Northern Burma War and the East Indian Ocean War, Tang Qiuli had no doubts about his victory. No matter in terms of the comparison of troops and armed equipment, the British were at a disadvantage. When the time came, he would march into the East India region and face  In a situation of total defeat and unable to resist their own attack, the British had no other choice but to sign a series of treaties in order to lose their colonies in India.

    Legalizing the areas they occupy in the form of legal principles is just like the partition of India and Pakistan carried out by the British after World War II in order to curb the strength of India, and the East Pakistan rebellion carried out by India in order to dismember Pakistan.  It is a general principle that words with big fists have power. This was the entire intention of Tang Qiuli's expanded campaign in northern Myanmar. Although it was bold and risky, the benefits after the war were astonishing. This risk was worth taking.  , must also risk

    At around 8 pm on April 25th, in Leizhou Bay, at the Zhanjiang base of the Japanese Navy Fleet, in the fleet headquarters, the fleet commander, Lieutenant General Tang Qiuquan, raised his head from a pile of documents, looked at his watch, and rubbed his sore hands.  Eyes, he packed up the things on his desk and was about to get off work. His security staff had already picked up his military uniform for him.

    There was a rapid "bang bang bang" knock on the door. Tang Qiuqun stopped and shouted "Come in!" in slight surprise.

    As soon as the door opened, Major General Xin Xiguo, chief of staff of the fleet, hurried in and said, "Commander, I just received an urgent telegram from the division commander!" After saying that, he handed a telegram marked top secret to Tang Qiuquan's hand.  Inside, the security staff immediately went out, closed the door tightly, and then stood upright at the door on guard.

    After reading the telegram, Tang Qiuquan said to Xin Xiguo: "Xiguo, immediately notify the members of the fleet headquarters and each captain, and in twenty minutes, go to the fleet war room to hold an emergency military meeting!"

    ??"Our opponents don't even have an aircraft carrier, and the largest warship is less than 4,000 tons. Such an opponent is very unchallenging."

    At 11:30 that night, two aircraft carriers and more than 20 warships of the Japanese division fleet left the Zhanjiang military port. In the previous hour, more than 100 armed civilian ships were at the Yulin naval and air force base on Hainan Island.  Three brigades of Marines, escorted by more than a dozen warships, sailed towards the Strait of Malacca. At the same time, a telegram was sent to the headquarters of the Magao Division, with only one short sentence, "Our fleet  At 11:30 -< >-!

    At this time, Tang Qiuli was already soundly asleep. Zhao Yuhe, the chief of staff on duty, thought for a moment and put the telegram carefully away. When Chief Bao Bao comes over tomorrow morning, he will be able to see that he seems to have grown  After taking a breath, with a serious look on his face, he walked to the large military map, looked at the positions of the Hukang Valley and the East Indian Ocean, and stared at it for a long time.

    In the early morning of April 26, the morning star in the east had not yet been obscured by the dawn. The Myitkyina field fighter jets of the ** Southern Flying Group were brightly lit. All personnel began a tense and busy day.

    Bombers and fighter jets were pulled out of the hangar and lined up neatly on the take-off runway. Mechanics were busy doing the final inspection of the fighter planes. Ground crews were busy refueling the fighter planes, loading ammunition and hanging bombs. The pilots were on the runway.  On the side, according to their respective units, they lined up in horizontal formations. The commander was making pre-battle arrangements in front of the formations.

    In the airport command post, Commander Le Yiqin looked at the busy scene at the airport through the big window with a thoughtful expression. Director He of the Flight Group Operations Department asked behind him: "Commander  , the fleet is about to take off, will today¡¯s bombing continue in the same way as yesterday?¡±

    Le Yiqin turned around, with a hint of sternness in his eyes, and said: "Continue, if you don't change the way, as long as the British planes don't come out for a day, I will bomb to death every day. However, today the departure time of the bomber group has been postponed.  Within an hour, order all the ground radar stations in northern Myanmar to turn on the aircraft immediately after taking off, and keep an eye on the direction of East India."

    Minister He did not understand Le Yiqin's intention and asked: "Commander, can the British plane show up today? Will our pilots, especially fighter pilots, maintain such an air alert posture, cause fatigue or fatigue?"  Is it carelessness? What¡¯s the use of taking off an hour later?¡±

    Le Yiqin replied affirmatively: "Yes, the British plane will definitely come today. I threw out such a big bait. There is no reason for the British not to take the bait. Taking off late is for the British plane to arrive.  Leave some time, Lao He, you see, as long as the bombs of our bomber group fall on the heads of the British and Indian soldiers again, the British planes will definitely come, and their ground commanders will definitely not be able to stand this.  The bombing!¡±

    Minister He still didn't quite understand. In fact, Le Yiqin ordered the bombers to take off for an hour late. It was purely a feeling. He couldn't explain the beauty of this feeling. He just thought that doing so would be beneficial to today's air battle.  That's all. Faced with his deputy's doubts, he didn't explain. In fact, he couldn't explain clearly.

    Le Yiqin continued: "In addition, Wu Xinrong, commander of the 8th Fighter Regiment, was ordered to increase the number of fighter jets responsible for air security at the Magao Division Headquarters to a brigade, and expand the range of security to the airspace 400 kilometers west of Magao, and the remaining  The two groups are ready to take off at any time. I have a hunch that today¡¯s arrival will not only be British fighter jets, but also bombers!¡±

    At 7:30 in the morning, the morning sun was shining brightly, and the white clouds dyed red by the rays of the sun were floating lazily in the sky. It was a good weather for bombers carrying out bombing missions. Three red flares were fired slowly over the airport.  Rising, it was the signal to take off. The bombers roared out of the runway and soared into the blue sky. Then, they lined up in neat formations and flew westward.

    At about six o'clock in the morning, Lieutenant General Bright, the commander of the British Air Force in India, issued the take-off order to several aircraft supervisors. The British pilots, with nonchalant expressions, joked with each other and stepped into the aircraft in a relaxed mood.  cockpit to perform a mission they will never forget. Many of them will never return to the airport in India.

    Lieutenant General Bright put down the phone, feeling empty in his heart, and a trace of fear could not help but hit his heart. This time, the air force of the Indian Army was deployed in full force, with five fighter wings, 624 fighter jets, and two bomber wings.  Team, one hundred and thirty-five bombers, all put in at once

    If this battle is won, Lieutenant General Bright is a well-deserved hero of the Indian Army. What if he fails?  He didn't dare to think about the consequences, and he didn't want to think too much about it.
