Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Back on the battlefield, after the Chinese Air Force took action, the British torpedo boats and rocket boats were sunk one after another, and the French warships continued to attack the British port of London.

However, in the battle just now, eight French transport ships were sunk, and the French army suffered heavy casualties. Further statistics are needed to obtain the specific casualties.

On the French battleship, everyone from the captain to the ordinary sailors was very excited. The British planes, submarines, torpedo boats and rocket boats were finally all wiped out, and now they can invade London.

Just as the French warship was advancing towards London, a phone call suddenly came to the desk of the French Marshal Philippe Pétain, the commander in chief of the landing campaign. Philippe Pétain answered the phone, and it was actually Xiao Yingwu who called. He is in a different headquarters from Philippe Pétain and communicates by phone.

Philippe Pétain picked up the phone, and before he could speak, he heard Xiao Yingwu's urgent voice from the translator: "Marshal Philippe Pétain, please give an order immediately to stop the attack and let all the French warships withdraw. "

Philippe Petain was taken aback, "What did you say?"

"This is the meaning of our Commander Shaw, please immediately withdraw the French warships and French transport ships, and stop attacking London."

Philippe Pétain asked in surprise: "What are you talking about? Why are we withdrawing our warships and transport ships? We have defeated British aircraft, submarines, and various combat speedboats. We are about to launch a landing operation. Now retreating is not a waste of all previous efforts." ?"

"According to the report from the General Intelligence Bureau, the British army has already laid mines in the waters where your department may land, and they are powerful mines, equipped with acoustic fuzes, and have extremely strong combat effectiveness. If your warships and transport ships enter, they will suffer heavy blows. "

"This is impossible. Our French intelligence department has conducted reconnaissance of the waters where we are about to land, and no mines have been found. Early reconnaissance also shows that the British army has no plan to deploy mines."

"What the British army deployed were all temporary mines. In other words, the British army had just laid the mines. The British army's mine deployment plan was to quickly deploy a large number of mines to block the enemy when all means of attack were ineffective. Landing troops, this information was just obtained by the General Intelligence Bureau."

Philippe Petain still couldn't believe it, but this time he didn't dare to make his own decision. Last time he made his own decision and didn't listen to the Chinese side, which led to the disastrous defeat of the first Battle of the English Channel. He thought for a while, and ordered The subordinates ordered the fleet commander Snelson to return immediately.

The messenger went to convey the order, and Philippe Pétain called the interpreter, "Come on, let's go to the Chinese headquarters and ask Xiao Yingwu for clarification."

Philippe Pétain soon came to the Chinese headquarters, and saw that the headquarters was busy, almost everyone was trotting, and he couldn't even see a person walking leisurely. In comparison, the French army headquarters was much more relaxed up.

When Philip Petain saw Xiao Yingwu, Xiao Yingwu didn't say a word, took out a stack of photos from the table, handed them to Philip Petain, and said with a smile: "I know what you came to me for, see Look at this and you'll understand."

Philippe Pétain took the photo. The first photo was a boat with a row of guide rails on the side of the ship. The guide rails were very long and extended from the hull to the water surface. Philippe Pétain couldn't help asking: "These guide rails are made of What is it for?"

"Look back and you will understand." Xiao Yingwu didn't rush to explain.

Philippe Pétain looked at the photos at the back, and saw a huge cylinder sliding from the guide rail into the water. Philippe Pétain recognized at a glance that this cylinder was a mine.

Affected by landmines, many people think that the appearance of sea mines is similar to that of landmines. In fact, sea mines have various shapes, and cylindrical mines are just one of them.

"Is this a photo of the British army laying mines?"

"To be precise, it is a photo of the British army using ships to lay mines. If you look back, you will find that there is more than one way the British army laid mines."

Philippe Pétain continued to look at the photos behind, only to find out that the British army not only used ships to lay mines, but also used aircraft, rocket launchers, and even small sampans. Once the ship passes, it will definitely be severely damaged.

Philippe Petain looked at the photos, put them on the table in surprise, and asked, "Where did you get these photos?"

Xiao Yingwu smiled heartily: "I didn't get these photos, but people from the General Intelligence Bureau. As for how they got them, this needs to be kept secret, and I can't say."

Philippe Pétain sighed heavily, and said with emotion: "The General Intelligence Bureau is really amazing. I really underestimated them before."

Philippe Petain sighed for a while, and then asked Xiao Yingwu: "What shall we do next, should we break the mine defense?"

"Of course, if the mine defenses are not broken, we will not be able to land. My suggestion is that the French army and we form a joint mine-sweeping team to jointly clear the mines laid by the British."

Philippe Petain hurriedly agreed, and Xiao Yingwu continued: "Shuai Lin specially instructed us to slow down the mine-clearing process to a certain extent, not too fast."

The military has always emphasized that "soldiers are expensive and fast". It is really strange that Lin Yuan asked Xiao Yingwu to slow down the mine-clearing speed. Philippe Pétain asked a question, and Xiao Yingwu smiled and explained: "We, Commander Lin, are going to Persuading the UK to surrender while clearing the mines, clearing the mines slowly can allow the UK to enjoy the process of being killed, increase their psychological pressure, and increase the possibility of them submitting."

Only then did Philippe Pétain understand that he asked his subordinates to discuss with Xiao Yingwu about joint mine clearance, and announced the results of the battle to the world. As soon as the results of the battle were announced, Lin Yuan's pressure came, not for anything else, just because of the eight ships that were shot down Shen's medical rescue ship belongs to the Datong Association.

One hour after the results were announced, Yang Changjun, president of the Datong Association, announced to the public that eight medical rescue ships of the Datong Association were sunk by the Chinese Air Force.

Yang Changjun is Lin Yuan's old friend and the father of a talented woman Yang Weiting. Give him special treatment.
