The journey starts from the Titanic

The journey begins with the Titanic Chapter 557

The treatment of the Dutch is much better. With the help of the British, strategic locations such as the Strait of Gibraltar, Suez, and Malacca are open to them. They also enthusiastically provide supplies to avoid the pain of long-distance voyages, so they can maintain a good status.

The only thing embarrassing them is that before their arrival, Java Island had fallen into the hands of South China, and they didn't know where to settle down.

When Situ Yong returned to the headquarters, he was called to He Wenxiu to discuss how to deal with the Dutch.

"The Dutch may have rushed towards us, we have to be prepared." He Wenxiu said.

After the fall of Jakarta, South China was worried that Dutch reinforcements would pounce directly on Medan from the Bay of Bengal, but intelligence showed that the Dutch passed by the Medan gate under the "escort" of the British fleet and arrived in Singapore. It is estimated in the next one or two days. Will appear in the Java Sea.

"Their goal is very simple, either Jakarta or Palembang. Both of these cities were not long after we defeated them, and we don't have the ability to intercept at sea, so it is easy to get them close to Jakarta or the sea off Palembang."

"Fortunately, in Jakarta, we have forty to fifty thousand troops here, even if the Dutch go ashore, they won't get it well. The only worry is that our ammunition supply is insufficient."

Situ Yong analyzed.

"I am a little worried about Palembang. Now our main force is in Jakarta. Once the Dutch launches an attack on Palembang, it is very likely that we will not be able to defend it and the connection between Sumatra and Java will be severed."

The Chief of Staff of the Second Division Fozierdao.

If the Dutch were not backed by the British, South China would consume them even if they consumed it, but with the involvement of the British in the back, the Dutch could get external supplies by sea.

"By the way, can the submarine force give the Dutch a look?" He Wenxiu turned his head to Brigadier General Robinson, commander of the navy.

The five precious submarines in South China are important forces in addition to aircraft attacking the Dutch sea forces, and they did a lot in the last Medan naval battle.

"Of course. After the landing, I will send the submarine to Belitung Island and Bangka Island, the main access to the Java Sea. If the Dutch dare to come out of Malacca, my boy will make them look good."

Robinson believes.

They are so familiar with the waters near Belitung Island. They have been pirates for several years. The Indonesian archipelago has a large number of islands for them to hide. As long as Nanhua submarines or warships suddenly emerge, the Dutch will probably eat a pot.

"In addition to submarines, we have prepared an assault fleet. All five destroyers will be sent out. If there is a chance, we will use torpedoes to attack the Dutch fleet."

Robinson continued.

"How can this work? You add up to not enough for each other's big ship. Isn't this going to die?" Situ Yong asked in astonishment.

Even He Wenxiu looked at Robinson with some surprise, waiting for his next words.

"Haha. Face to face, of course we can't beat each other.

If we suddenly appeared in front of them, attacked them, angered them, and then led them into the submarine's ambush circle, there would still be a certainty of success."

Robinson smiled at this point.

Even if this plan is unsuccessful, the Nanhua destroyers will have no loss.Can't it be beaten or run?

He Wenxiu suddenly realized that Robinson's ambush plan was good.

The Dutch fleet should not be easily recruited as it was last time. The navy's strength is insufficient. After thinking about it, he should take more preventive measures.

"The navy will do what you said! Regarding the defense of Java and Palembang, we need more planes. Send a report to Medan and let them fly all the planes to Palembang.

At the same time, the aircraft in Jakarta must be ready to dispatch at any time. As long as the enemy's attacking direction is confirmed, the aircraft in Palembang or Medan will immediately support each other, and the Dutch must not be allowed to land."

He Wenxiu ordered, turning around and looking, there is no longer the original Air Force Commander Paul?The shadow of Mellon, then remembered, now he is the commander of the air force himself.

After receiving the telegram from Jakarta, the plane in Medan began to take off.

This is a new batch of aircraft, a total of 100, including 20 F1b Cummins Navy fighters, 80 bomber transport aircraft.

It was shipped from the United States a month ago, and at the same time a new batch of pilots trained by the United States came back.

Although they still have insufficient flight time, the severe situation can no longer allow them to study step by step, so they have to graduate urgently and gradually grow from the war.

The desire for airplanes has brought the new South China regime to a perverted state!In addition to the 100 aircraft that participated in the battle on Java Island, the total number of aircraft in South China exceeds 200!

In addition, more than 30 seaplanes for reconnaissance are deployed in port cities such as Medan, Palembang, and Jakarta. As long as the situation permits, they will conduct reconnaissance on the Java Sea and the sea near Malacca to ensure that the Dutch fleet has nowhere to hide.

It's not easy to do all this, but fortunately there is a big boss behind Nanhua who is willing to burn money, Situ Nan.

Under Situ Nan's plan, Cummins-Lincoln Aircraft Company purchased a large number of aircraft on credit to the South China government, including the latest 10 torpedo aircraft.

In order to speed up production, Meihua opened an aircraft assembly plant in Medan, importing important parts such as engines from the United States, and using Nanyang wood for the wood.

In fact, Medan’s aircraft company is also a joint venture between Cummins and Meihua.Cummins has sent technicians to Medan to instruct South China workers to produce aircraft, so that South China can obtain enough aircraft in a short time.

The South China Army’s large-scale use of aircraft aroused the interest of the US military. They also sent military inspectors to Medan to verify the role of aircraft in future wars.

Large swathes of aircraft covered the air and flew south through the tropical rainforest.

Lao Yang was the pilot this time. He was driving the latest product of Cummins Aircraft Company, the Hercules transport aircraft, and was very excited.

This new plane is much more powerful than the seaplane he originally piloted. It has strong horsepower, sturdiness, and large tonnage. It is also equipped with a new type of radio station to keep in touch with the ground airport at any time.

"Lao Yang, the next course is 38 degrees south east." The navigator next to him turned to the map and referred to the navigation instrument on the plane. After some calculations, he came to a new conclusion.

"Okay!" Old Yang Xinran responded.

He trusts this young man who has just returned from the United States. This is not their first cooperative flight. Before the large-scale flight, Lao Yang has made several successful flights and said to him between Palembang and Medan. Not a problem.

With such a group of experienced pilots, the South China military is confident of using aircraft to build a chain of defense islands around the Java Sea....

The fall of Jakarta made the situation of the Dutch local reinforcements awkward: to continue to Jakarta or simply to do nothing, forcibly land in Medan, and bring the South China base camp to the pot?

While South China’s aircraft was heavily reinforcing Palembang, Lieutenant General Philip, the commander of the Dutch expeditionary fleet who had just left Singapore, was having a headache for the next war.

He inspected the records of the Dutch-Indian colonial army and the South China army in detail, and found that the other side had a large number of aircraft and was very good at using them.

It was those planes that defeated the Dutch navy and the army without fighting back, defeated again and again!Finally Jakarta is gone!

Thinking of this, his heart was terrible.

The fall of Jakarta completely disrupted his plan. Without a base on the road, their expeditionary fleet is like a child without a mother, wandering on the vast sea with no support.

Although the British were very generous to help, they were too arrogant. The eyes of the Dutch were full of contempt. Providing supplies to the Dutch was like charity.

This hurt Lieutenant General Philip's heart!

This battle will never fail again!

He vowed secretly in his heart.

But the enemy must know the news of the arrival of the Dutch expeditionary fleet, and theirs will definitely be guarded.

Which goal is better?

Lieutenant General Philip hesitated.
