Part 6 Chapter 31 Relying on the Air Force

The weather gradually warmed up, and the roads in Russia in spring became muddy with the melting of ice and snow. Yang Zhi, who was sitting in the new jeep, looked no change on his face, but in his heart he scolded the bad road conditions of the Russians over and over again.

The jeep is good, but it can also make people fall apart. Yang Zhi felt sore all over his body, and he couldn't help but secretly scold him for being useless. It's only been a few years, but his body is much worse. When he was fighting the Russians in the early years, he took his brothers to ride on the land of Liaodong, and he didn't have any fatigue for three or five days.

"Hey, the conquests on Japanese ladies over the years seem to be a bit too much." Yang Zhi laughed secretly and looked up and saw a tank in front of him parked on the side of the road, which seemed to be broken.

Seeing the back of the lieutenant who was lying on the mud and repairing, Yang Zhi couldn't help but raise his hand and said, "Stop, go down and take a look."

"What's going on?" Yang Zhi stepped forward and asked loudly. The busy lieutenant next to the tank didn't even look back. He smiled while working: "It's nothing big, there's something wrong with the tracks, and it's already done. This makes it hard to tighten the parts that should be tight. Don't let the chains fall off when you go to the battlefield. That's a joke."

As the commander of the temporary rapid army, Yang Zhi also served as the First Garrison Division, and his rank was not changed. However, Yang Zhi still felt proud. The guard with a submachine gun behind him also had the smell of a chicken and dog ascending to heaven, and his chin was raised when he walked.

Seeing that the above text was still lying on the ground and still had no intention of saluting, Yang Zhi did not take his heart, and his guards were a little unhappy. One of them stepped forward and kicked the captain gently and said, "Hey, are you talking to the commander like this?"

Yang Zhi was unhappy when he heard this and whispered to the guard: "What's Zhang Kuang? Didn't you see someone working?"

When the second lieutenant heard the word "Sir" and quickly got up from the ground. When he saw Yang Zhi, he was stunned. Then he stood attentive and saluted: "Report to the division commander, Shen Liyao, the second lieutenant of the First Armored Regiment, I will salute you."

Yang Zhi secretly called luck in his heart. If he had been a little bit gentle just now, wouldn't he offend the prince? Thinking of this, Yang Zhi was secretly ashamed that he had been busy accepting the matter of the rapid army these days, and had forgotten the matter of the prince in the army.

"Well, where are your subordinates?" Yang Zhi asked after replying a greeting and smiled brilliantly.

"Two have gone to fetch water. The ice on the nearby lake has not melted yet. One is checking it inside. Do you want to call it out?" Shen Liyao was not very nervous. He wanted to see how Yang Zhi faced his special subordinate. After entering the First Garrison Division, he really didn't really meet Yang Zhi, a beloved general who goes home every year.

Yang Zhi smiled faintly and said, "No need, you are busy. The army is not as good as the family, be careful." Yang Zhi said as he turned around and drove away, making the guard behind him a little dizzy. He was not understanding what Yang Zhi's last words with personal concern were for?

After the jeep drove away, Yang Zhi quietly reached out and wiped the fine sweat beads that emerged from his forehead. He remembered the incident of the 1st Independent Cavalry Division snatching people. He wanted to shave himself, why did he snatch the prince back? What if... Thinking of this, Yang Zhi turned his head and said to the adjutant beside him: "Let's go back and let the commander of the First Armored Regiment come to see me."

Yang Zhi's uneasiness made Chen Liyao sigh slightly, thinking that his identity was indeed a little embarrassed. When he came, he didn't think of the gaze. Who had knocked him out of Chen Yiyang, but later he found the troops that his father had just arrived. Thinking of his father Chen Liyao, he couldn't help but look back at the direction of Beijing. While thinking of his parents, he also remembered his pretty face.

"Boom!" A muffled sound came from afar. Chen Liyao couldn't help but turn around. The direction was not far ahead. It was probably because the vanguard and the Russians encountered it.

At this time, the two men came back with buckets. Chen Liyao hurriedly called out: "Hurry up and go to the road, and the fight will start in front."

…………………………………………

The vast sea was endless, and this scene was so familiar to General Betty. Standing on the deck of the flagship "Lion" battleship, General Betty did not feel much relaxed because he learned that the Chinese special-mix fleet had just begun to enter Kuala Lumpur.

In order to save the crisis in the Indian Ocean, the domestic government attached great importance to the action plan code-named "Shaw Hunting". Betty was full of confidence in the strength of the Far East Fleet, and even believed that as long as he encountered the Chinese special-mixed fleet, he would be sure to defeat the Chinese fleet with only one dreadnought within three hours. However, having strength sometimes does not mean that he has absolute initiative. Britain is an island country, while France is backing the sea and has no guarantee of a lifeline for the sea transportation. Victory is just empty talk for the Allies. However, the cruel reality shows that if Singapore is not recaptured, the route to the Indian Ocean will be basically paralyzed. To defeat the Chinese special-mixed fleet and then regain Singapore, it is better to rely on strategies and luck.

Fifty nautical miles south of Kuala Lumpur, a fleet with golden dragon flags was shaking waves on the sea. Li Zhun, who was standing in the command cabin facing the naval chart, looked a little shaky and unstable. He was not worried about how powerful the British navy was. Li Zhun was very clear in his heart. Over the years, Li Zhun also had some complaints about the Chinese navy's departure from the track of giant cannons and ships, but he could only keep these in his heart. After all, it was not Chen Congyun's direct line. The fact that he could reach this point today was due to hard work and caution. The development direction of the navy was not something he could worry about, just do the things at hand.

"Report No. 69, the main force of the British Far East Fleet is hidden in this position and is currently in a state of radio silence." The adjutant who came in with the telegram quickly pointed to the location on the chart.

"How far is the British squadron from us?"

"Called on 58 said that the distance between the two sides is about 10 nautical miles."

While talking, a rapid alarm sounded, and Li Jun couldn't help but look shocked. At this time, the deputy commander of the fleet Qiu Baoren rushed in quickly and shouted: "The British squadron was found ahead."

……………………………………

"Discover the Chinese special mixed fleet!"

Wilkinson received a report almost at the same time, rushed out of the command cabin quickly, raised his telescope, and on the sea in the distance, there was a piece of black smoke covering the sky and the sun.

"Report to General Betty, order the fleet to lean on and take the initiative."

The British squadron, with six armored cruisers as the main force, drew a beautiful arc on the sea surface and tried to occupy a powerful position as fast as possible. For the proud British Royal Navy, the Chinese Navy cannot be called an opponent. Even if it encounters the Chinese special-mixed fleet that is far above the squadron, Wilkinson decided to meet them first and teach these barbarians a lesson.

When the two sides were 10,000 meters away, there was a slight vibration on the sea. This was the main gun of the Chinese special mixed fleet's dreadnoughts were firing. When the shells that did not hit any target stirred up a huge column of water on the sea, Wilkinson's face showed a sarcastic expression.

"Not anyone can fight the artillery battle on the sea." After a very arrogant sneer, Wilkinson ordered: "Fire!"

……………………………………

"The arrogant British man, only a dozen warships dared to challenge me nearly forty warships. Do you think it was during the Daoguang period? Go up and beat me hard." Li Zhun's face became a little hideous. The right-wing light cruiser formation had already raised the banner of encirclement.

Wilkinson quickly paid the price for his arrogance. When three consecutive heavy cannons landed on the Lions, Wilkinson's face changed a little.

"Boom!" The front main gun's turret was shot and a bloody flew everywhere.

In less than twenty minutes, none of the main warships of the squadron were spared and were all hit by a few strokes. "War-weary" even directly hit the middle of an armor-piercing bomb. After a violent explosion, the entire hull jumped up slightly, making a sound of Kra, and it immediately broke into two pieces.

Wilkinson then remembered that the technology of the Chinese dreadnought seemed to be supported by the Germans. The technology of the Chinese large-caliber artillery seemed to be supported by the Germans.

Wilkinson's heroism disappeared after just half an hour of battle, and the banner of retreat suddenly shook. He was originally doing the job of luring a snake out of the hole. What would be a good ending if he didn't do his job properly?

Of course, Li Jun was going to pursue him. At that moment, the bomber at the Kuala Lumpur Airport had taken off, and he could arrive at the battlefield after an hour.

When he saw the black smoke rolling in the distance, Li Zhun did not hesitate at all and immediately ordered the front team to become the back team and run away quickly.

Even if Li Jun ordered it in time, the six armored cruisers responsible for the cut-off were not caught. The shells from the British Far East Fleet that had turned around and chased them down, they fell like rain, and Li Jun's flagship was hit so many times.
