South, a port.

This port has a long history and has direct access by railway, but the infrastructure is old, which cannot meet the berthing of 10,000-ton ships and more than 10,000-ton ships, and complete the loading and unloading of goods, so it is now being expanded, and the workers of the construction brigade are in full swing, but some of them can already be put into use.

At this time, a large amount of high-quality heavy oil was flowing from the warehouse through a thick oil pipeline into a large warship moored at the No. 1 berth, and a circle of soldiers formed a cordon to maintain vigilance.

The warship was huge, at least 20,000 tons or more, but the workers around it were not surprised at all, and almost ignored the warship.

Even the people in the vicinity were not much surprised when they saw it, and only occasionally glanced at it.

This is no longer the case.

Because of the direct railway and direct connection to the core industrial zone of the base area, as the first large port in the south to be expanded, it undertakes the export of goods from the entire base area.

Heavy industry is still far from satisfying itself, but light industry, clothes, shoes, small commodities, etc., advanced machinery and equipment, perfect production processes and processes, plus a large number of workers, has been explosive growth.

Although they can still digest it internally, Zhao Gang and others have begun to look for a market for the huge production capacity.

The expanded and renovated railway is enough to ensure the transportation volume, so at this time there is a 35,000-ton container ship and a 20,000-ton bulk ship is loading at the port, which is much larger than a warship.

Accustomed to seeing giant ships, naturally I don't have much feeling for this warship.

After all, not long ago, two battleships were refueled here, and that size is much larger than the current one.

"Let's go."

After refueling, inside the large cruiser that was classified as supercruiser, Wang Gensheng gave the order to set sail.

Their target this time was the Indian Ocean, to intercept and sink the Oshu transport ship that was supplying the devils, and considering the possibility of a battle, this large cruiser was specially dispatched for this purpose.

He was accompanied by a 01-class destroyer.

It is the second ship of the 01 class.

Due to the voyage, the destroyer is currently moored in Malacca, waiting to be assembled together.

"It's a shame."

On the occasion of the convergence, looking at the two warships, Wang Gensheng felt a little regretful.

Warships, in fact, have all of them, which are larger than the peak of the British Imperial fleet, but there are too few seamen, and the total is not enough for ten capital ships.

So he could only send two warships to it this time.

The second Class 01 missile destroyer will be stationed on Socotra Island to guard the Suez Canal and the Indian Ocean to combat piracy in the surrounding area.

"Twenty-five verses."

Wang Gensheng continued to order.

Although there are only two warships, if you underestimate this fleet, it will definitely pay a heavy price.

A large cruiser, a Class 01 destroyer, and a Class 01 missile destroyer, a total of twelve six-barreled 30-mm automatic anti-aircraft guns, and more than 30 medium-range anti-aircraft missiles.

Plus more than thirty anti-ship missiles, enough to block the attack of an integrated fleet.

This is the generation gap.

······

The other side.

White House, USA.

"How's it going in Oshu?"

Mr. President is very worried about the situation in Oshu.

Obviously, the tough arrest led by Grand Master Li before, as well as the forcible trial and conviction in disregard of the pressure of the United States, as well as the direct sinking of two submarines, made Mr. President realize that he was facing a proper ruthless person this time.

And according to Oshu intelligence, the other party seems to know the route of the transport fleet, and he is a little worried that the other party will do it directly.

In the event of a direct military conflict, it is really difficult for him to deal with it.

In case the other party and the mustache join forces, the army marches north, and creates trouble in the Pacific Ocean, then it will be a big trouble.

"The other side protested, but there was no further action, and the transport fleet was normal."

The secretary replied.

"Hmm."

Mr. President was immediately relieved.

It seems that although the other side is tough and dares to attack, it does not dare to casually launch a frontal military conflict.

Those who transported weapons and supplies for the Japanese, although they were the Oshu fleet, were disguised, nominally civilian supplies, and sent warships to escort them.

The secretary added:

"Their forces attacking the subcontinent have picked up speed."

"However, we have also increased the transportation of supplies, and this time the weapons and equipment are several times higher than the last time, including fighter jets."

"What's new in Europe?"

Mr. President continued.

It's mid-August.

It's been nearly three months since the storming of Cherbourg, but every day the news is not good.

"The situation is still not good."

The secretary's answer made Mr. President's brow furrow again.

······

The fleet, sailing at a speed of twenty-five knots, was extremely fast, and in just a few days, it reached the predetermined position and approached the transport fleet in Oshu.

Today, the Indian Ocean near the fleet is calm and the wind is beautiful.

"Seventy kilometers away, seventeen flotillas."

Inside the bridge, Wang Gensheng received a message from a radar operator.

At this time, the fleet was only seventy kilometers away from the convoy of transport ships transporting weapons to the devils, and the radar on the large cruiser had already scanned the speed, number, and direction of the fleet.

But not to mention the radar of the 60s, even the radar of the 21st century cannot accurately judge the size and model of a target at a distance of 70 kilometers.

"Seventeen?"

Wang Gensheng's eyes narrowed.

The fleet of transport ships that Oshu transports to the devils all use American liberty ships.

The maximum full-load transportation capacity of this standardized cargo ship is 9,200 tons, but due to the uncertain volume of cargo and other reasons, as well as its own fuel consumption, boiler water and other materials, each ship carries about 6,000 tons of materials on average.

I have to say that this kind of transport ship that seems to have a low level of technology has given Wang Gensheng a great impact.

The technical level of the Liberty Steamer is indeed not high, the old-fashioned design, the coal-fired piston engine, 2,500 horsepower, the standard single-layer hull, has a dead weight of more than 7,000 tons, but can only carry 9,200 tons, which is simply garbage.

But the technology used to build such a ship is extremely advanced.

It is now August of 45 years, since the United States entered the war, more than 3,500 free ships have been manufactured, especially since October last year, after having technical exchanges with the base areas, after buying some of Boss Chen's advanced manufacturing technology at a high price, the United States has accelerated the manufacturing speed of ships again.

This huge shipbuilding capacity and management ability makes Wang Gensheng really envious.

However, this is the huge wealth left by decades of industrial construction in the United States, and it is the heritage of the world's largest industrial power.

Of course, that's not the point right now.

According to detailed information, this time, Oshu dispatched an American Fletcher-class destroyer to escort the escort, and the rest were transport ships, sixteen Liberty ships, and nearly 100,000 tons of supplies.

"That's a lot of money!"

Wang Gensheng sneered.

100,000 tons of materials is enough for more than 300,000 little devils in the subcontinent, and once the weapons and equipment are in hand, they can really cause a lot of trouble to the expeditionary force.

Unlike the Hump Route and the Yunnan-Burma Highway, the supplies transported in this batch are military supplies, weapons, equipment, ammunition, and even fighter jets, as well as aircraft fuel.

"Full speed."

He then ordered:

"Catch up."

"Helicopter takeoff."

With Wang Gensheng's order, the large cruiser and the 01-class destroyer accelerated to thirty-three knots and flew towards the convoy of transport ships in the distance, and at the same time, two helicopters also took off from the tail.

······

More than an hour later.

"On the left, warship."

The transport fleet of Oshu finally spotted Wang Gensheng's fleet that was rapidly approaching.

"Damn."

Inside the Fletcher-class destroyer, an Austrian naval commander suddenly changed his face after seeing the incoming warship clearly.

His Fletcher-class destroyer was only 3,000 tons when fully loaded, and the two warships that attacked in the distance, even the smaller one, were twice as large as him, and the larger one was estimated to be ten times larger than his.

This is a.

If it was usual, he would have run away at full speed, but now, he can't leave.

"Maintain formation."

Seeing that the fleet began to twist, he hurriedly ordered.

"Let's negotiate."

He then headed for the opposing fleet.

Although the high-level government thinks that the other party does not dare to make a move, as a military, this captain knows very well that the probability of the other party making a move is very high, this is munition, 100,000 tons of munitions! Moreover, it was an arms for the Japanese who were the mortal enemies of the Republic of China, and the captain of the ship was not surprised that the other party attacked Oshu.

But the army will always serve the government.

And politicians are never short of brains.

As for running away with the fleet.

It's impossible.

The transport ship has a speed of 11 or 2 knots, the opposite warship has 33 knots, and there are planes, and none of them can run away separately.

"The barrel is flat."

During the acceleration, the captain did not forget to maintain a low-key posture.

"Report, the other party sent a contact."

At this time, a staff officer reports.

"Connected."

The captain breathed a sigh of relief.

It is the best situation to be able to talk, and at the same time, a possibility also appeared in his heart, is the other party really the same as the group of brain-dead people said, and dare not do it?

"All fleets, follow me back to our ports for inspection."

After the channel was connected, Wang Gensheng's tone was domineering and unquestionable.

"Give you five minutes to either go back with us or stay here forever."

Without waiting for the captain to speak, Wang Gensheng hung up the phone directly after saying the time limit.

"Bastard!"

The captain listened to the beep in the public frequency microphone, and was so angry that he directly smashed the microphone.

It is absolutely not possible to return to the Republic of China to investigate in China.

Their target is the subcontinent direction, where there are only Japanese except for the Republicans, and the ship is nominally civilian supplies and medical supplies, but in fact it is 100,000 tons of weapons and ammunition, and there are devil liaison officers and pilots on board, and even officers.

Once the actual evidence is left, then the trouble is big.

But.

What to do?

Will they actually do it?

If they do it, what should he do?

"Keep sailing, they won't dare do it."

Because it was a public frequency communication, all the transport ships heard the news, and the captain warned the transport ship during the hesitation.

In the midst of hesitation, five minutes passed in a flash.

At this time, the distance between the two fleets was three kilometers, and Wang Gensheng's super-patrol distance was five kilometers from the transport ship.

"Fire."

Wang Gensheng didn't talk nonsense at all, leaving the 01-class missile destroyer and the Oshu destroyer to confront each other, and he rushed to the transport ship group.

Boom...

The muzzle flames of the two twin 305 caliber 55 times the main guns burst out, and the two transport ships were directly reduced to pieces in the smoke of the explosion.

This time, the semi-armor-piercing high-explosive shells he used, a type of shell specially designed for sabotage, would slightly delay the explosion to ensure destructiveness, and the thin armor of the merchant ship simply could not block 305 caliber shells, let alone two, and the shells drilled straight into the ship, and then exploded.

Two merchant ships began to sink on the spot.

Of course, the two semi-armor-piercing high-explosive bombs were only more than 800 kilograms, and the charge was only 80 kilograms, which could not be directly blown into pieces for a merchant ship weighing more than 7,000 tons.

But.

Boom...

Less than twelve seconds later, the guns of the two turrets of the Super Patrol erupted again, and two semi-armor-piercing high-explosive shells exploded again in the two sinking merchant ships.

The merchant ship was originally not solidly structured, had no watertight cabins, and had no damage resistance, and in the face of the explosion of four 305 shells, this time, the two merchant ships directly fell apart and became fragments.

"Stop the engine and get all on deck, or they'll all be sunk."

Directly and violently destroyed the two transport ships, Wang Gensheng once again publicly warned.

At the same time, his shelling did not stop, and twelve seconds later, the front and rear turrets opened fire again, this time the two transports at the front of the transport fleet were hit, at a distance of eight kilometers, four shells hit accurately, and a large part of the hulls of the two transports exploded into fragments.

At the same time as the warning, the shelling continued, without giving the slightest hesitation, and forced to agree immediately.

This time, their main task is to capture the transport ships, not all of them can be sunk, and they must capture a few and return home to leave evidence for possible future negotiations.

"How dare you!"

In the first round of shelling, two transport ships exploded, and the commander of the Oshu Navy immediately turned red.

"Immediately cease fire."

The captain roared in public.

"Either you just shoot it, or you can stay where it's cool."

Wang Gensheng directly sneered at it and slapped his face directly.

The captain was so angry that he almost ordered to open fire on the counterattack, but the large destroyer not far away, as well as instinctive reason, calmed him down.

The second round of shelling made him completely calm down in an instant, and there was even a faint cold sweat soaking out of his back.

The third round of shelling made him break out in a cold sweat, and he was glad that he was not impulsive.

As an officer who participated in the Pacific Naval War, although he was only a destroyer captain, he knew very well that even the newest American warship had a 305 gun fire rate of only three rounds per minute.

That's already the fastest speed.

Because even a battleship could not reload a gun of the 305 level and above at full pitch angles, for example, the barrel had to be lowered to a certain height or even flat to reload.

The salvo is only one shot per minute.

The warship on the opposite side, at a distance of five kilometers from the transport fleet at the shortest distance and at the longest distance of eight kilometers, with two twin-mounted 305 heavy guns in the front and rear, fired at almost all angles, and the firing interval was only less than 12 seconds.

What's even more terrifying is that two rounds of shelling, all hit, or two turrets each aimed at different targets.

There was also a third round, firing at the first two transports of the convoy, during which the guns turned, pitched, re-aimed, reloaded, and fired, and it took only fifteen seconds.

And it's all hit accurately.

If there is a fight, let alone missiles, these two main guns will be able to send him to the bottom of the sea.

"It's a big gap."

The captain smiled wryly.

Within the Navy, including the U.S. Navy, there are many people who believe that the other side is only a little more advanced in missile radar, but now it seems that in terms of artillery, the gap between their own side is not small at all.

"Captain, us?"

Inside the bridge, all the officers and staff officers of the Oshu Navy looked at their captains in unison.

At the beginning of the shelling, they also roared in unison, and they were very unlikely to die with the enemy, but now, all of them were honest.

"We..."

The captain's mouth moved, and he sighed:

"Let them surrender."

Although the order of the military department must be kept absolutely confidential, and if necessary, the transport fleet can be abandoned, and even the lives of some of the crew members can be spared, but in the current situation, it is no longer possible.

"I don't think so."

The first mate on the side shook his head.

Only then did the captain realize that the remaining ten transport ships had all turned off their engines and hoisted white flags.

In less than two minutes, six transport ships were sunk.
