Lucknar's 1st Naval Fleet easily evaded the British Navy's patrol fleet and arrived at Truk Naval Base in the early morning.

He clenched his pipe with his teeth, blowing the early morning sea breeze, and his eyes were on the fleet that was entering the base.

This is the most powerful fleet in the history of the world, and this time, in addition to his own battleships: "Qingdao", battlecruisers: "Yantai" battleships, "Weihai", the battleships of the Second Fleet: "Tai'an", battlecruisers: "Weifang", and battlecruisers: "Liaocheng".

When 6 giant warships and as many as 6 improvised aircraft carriers appeared at the Truk naval base, the strength of their fleet naturally surprised the German naval officers at the Truk naval base.

They couldn't figure out how Luknar's fleet could swell to such an extent when it left Truk, except for the astonishing 34,000-ton aircraft carriers, the small size of the ships even made people worry about whether they were enough to escort the ship. Even if someone were willing to sell them battleships, they wouldn't be able to buy so much at once, would they!

On this point, Luckner explains it this way.

He took the long mouthpiece of his pipe and tapped his head: "Think, dear gentlemen, if you think about it often, you will also get something that you think is not easy to get your hands on, and it is not too difficult, to be honest!" ":一:本:Read:

Not too difficult?

Even if there were a head like Count Luckner, there would have to be 140 airships and thousands of tons of mines on standby, and if the captured Japanese knew that less than half of those mines were just outward play, they would not have crashed to death!

Of course it's fake, otherwise where would you let Tang Yunyang find so many mines for a while, but there are torpedoes from the "Benlei II" group at sea to protect the minefield, and it is not so easy for little Japan to find out and warships to collide.

Because the purpose of this operation was different, all five improvised aircraft carriers carried aircraft, and no marines were carried. As a result, the entire fleet has as many as 350 aircraft, and because of Tang Yunyang's strict order, naval aviation will not launch attacks on the coast and inland of Australia except for participating in naval operations.

The operation here will be carried out in two stages.

First of all, under the coordinated attack of naval and air forces, the infantry German units completely occupied Port Moresby, and the naval aviation was used to cooperate with the German planes on land on Irian Island, and the "Eagle Eye" reconnaissance and command airships in the air were used to sweep the nearby waters and gain complete sea supremacy.

Subsequently, one tank regiment and one heavy infantry regiment of the 2nd Tank Division, which had been stationed in Batavia, would land on Irian Island from here. They would work in tandem with the German infantry, eventually compressing the British forces on the island to the west, increasing their density and the need for supplies as a result of the gathering.

During the whole process, aircraft will be used on a large scale to intensively attack the enemy's material storage and rotation centers, in order to finally force the British to surrender due to lack of supplies.

After gaining full sea supremacy, large warships will also approach Irian Island to provide accurate naval artillery support for the attack of German and armored divisions on the island.

The 402-mm guns of the Ise-class battleships could fire 1,014 kg of shells from a distance of 40 kilometers, and the main guns of the Jingang-class battlecruisers had a range of 32 kilometers.

The Germans moved equally quickly, quickly organizing the Truk Base Infantry Unit to board the 1st Special Fleet and preparing to land in Port Moresby.

These 6,000 German infantrymen, the German soldiers rescued from the Japanese Empire by the former Thunder International, recovered their combat capabilities and re-armed after a few months of recovery. This time, the small arms they used were already equipped with a large number of submachine guns, and in the battle from the forest, this kind of dense weapons at close range was obviously more suitable than the Mauser rifle.

What particularly thrilled them was that this time, they would have the honor of fighting with the Chinese and clearing the British front with the support of air power. For these German soldiers, who had seen the combat might of the Air Assault Division, there was nothing more reassuring to them.

The battle was carried out quite urgently, and the Chinese and German sides almost hit it off, which made Lucknar, who led the operation, somewhat worried.

As a German, he should not have such thoughts, as a good German nobleman, he should not have the slightest hesitation to fight for the glory of the empire.

But as the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Navy, he could not help but think more.

The whole of Shandong is in full swing of construction, and a large number of enterprises are starting production one after another. However, despite his income, he still knows that the overall economic situation is not optimistic. From a certain point of view, the whole of Shandong is struggling to support.

The scale is already not small, the most advanced army in the world, especially the navy, which is a bottomless pit of money.

"Perhaps, our battle is being used to alleviate this relatively tense economic situation! Perhaps, this is the reason why he desperately needs Irian oil! ”

Behind the fiery Shandong and the modern army is the contradiction of a large consumption of original resources and insufficient replenishment, and well-educated European and American scholars or students studying abroad are slightly worried about this.

If you want to see those members of the China Renaissance Party, I am afraid that only Tang Yunyang, including some first-level members, do not have any worries.

"Is it because they don't understand economics at all, so they don't feel like this at all?"

In fact, in this matter, people such as Gu Weijun and Li Shizeng are quite worried, and only the one who is not worried is extremely any Tang Yunyang's Mike. Lang and some soldiers who knew Tang Yun's temperament. The battle to resolve the economy is now being intensively formulated in the staff headquarters of Chief of Staff Jiang Baili.

The biggest problem in Lukner's mind was that this battle would certainly allow the Germans to completely occupy Irian Island, and it would be very difficult to make a silent landing after the German flying teams on the island were replenished.

But it did not help in the slightest for the situation in China, which would anger the British and make it possible for them to interfere in the future of China, which in the long run would not necessarily have a good prediction.

As for the fighting on Irian Island itself, it was not used to solve the economic crisis, as Lucknar had speculated, but it had a much longer-term effect.

Port Moresby is the southernmost port of Irian Island, which is shaped like a Tyrannosaurus rex, and is also the southern side of the tip of the Tyrannosaurus rex's tail.

The port of Morbiz on the "tip of the tail" was the main lifeline of the British army on the island, and the place where the Australian Air Force and the German Flying Corps had been fighting to the death, and today the port is about to change hands.

If you study it carefully as an offensive launched by the Germans at sea, you will find that this offensive has the same wonderful effect as the German army's actions on land.

In the darkest hour of the morning, the planes took off, and before the sun rose into the sky, the attacking fleet had reached the skies over the harbor that had been carefully scouted by the Eagle Eye.

As usual, the "Sea Sabre", which was the first to arrive, stopped the counterattack of the anti-aircraft fire of the British ** team on the island with heavy machine gun and machine gun fire. Subsequently, the "sea mines" that skimmed the sea and flew used torpedoes to solve the military ships parked in the harbor, and finally the air attack planes and fighters swept away the ground fire points.

"Let's watch the first release together, please support genuine reading, and support the author's creation" Don't laugh and give birth to a group: 35761481; Mailbox:.

This was the first wave of the air attack, and the planes had only one operational purpose, which was to completely eliminate the artillery positions and anti-aircraft combat capabilities near the port. At least for now, their efforts have borne fruit.

One after another, the anti-aircraft guns were lying crookedly on one side. Above the airfield, the "Tomcat" heavy air superiority fighter raised scorching black smoke in the flames of the hangar, and the ammunition that exploded in the flames made violent explosions from time to time.

Five fighters and seven attack aircraft were lost to ground fire in the first wave of attacks. But the whole of Port Moresby was drugged into smoke and fire everywhere under their blows.

However, it is puzzling that the first wave of their offensive went out with all 350 aircraft, and should they wait for the British to re-prepare their air defenses before they have another such battle? Could it be that Lucknar was kicked in the head by a donkey, and he didn't even understand how to maintain the continuity of the attack!

British and Australian soldiers, who took advantage of the first wave of running around in the air, were busy rescuing the wounded and extinguishing the fire. There are also groups of soldiers righting anti-aircraft guns or clearing craters on the road. All this suggests that they will fight back if possible.

However, at this time, the sound of airplanes was heard in the mountains to the north, and at this time, the German flying team on Irian Island was stationed. Also Vice Admiral Luknar, another force used to maintain the continuity of his offensive.

The British soldiers, who were regrouping their positions, were stunned by the sudden second wave of attacks, and they knew that the earth-shattering explosions of the first wave had just drowned out the sound of their arrival, making it impossible to know that they had arrived here along the mountains, and that the second wave of attacks still caused surprise attacks on the ground forces of the British and Australian forces.

As for the air power of the Australian side, he did not count it, unless they could avoid the "Eagle Eye" reconnaissance in the sky and the gaze of the observers on the airship, and people could take off into the air without knowing it.

Luknar was not at all worried about this, he stood on the bridge where he usually stayed, and the telescope in his hand looked at the sky, which was the direction of the return of the first attack wave.
