    The fall of Malacca shocked the Japanese army.  Their hands have reached the Indian Ocean, have landed in South Africa, and controlled almost all of South Africa. At the same time, they are advancing towards the tribal locations inside to expand the area they occupy.  If Malacca falls, it means that South Africa's troops will lose contact with the country. The only way to connect is Australia.  From there, return to the mainland.  But just when Malacca fell, reinforcements from Luzon arrived, and contact was lost within two hours, a fierce war broke out in Australia.  Australia has two Class A divisions stationed in the Australian Army. Their combined total number is no more than 50,000 to 60,000.  The war broke out suddenly and violently. They were not concentrated in the first place, and they were all in town to maintain local security.  They are no more than a squadron, or simply a squad. Only large places such as Melbourne and Sydney have a regiment of troops stationed there.  But no matter what, the number of tens of thousands of troops is still too small.  As for those puppet troops, their combat effectiveness is scum and they should not be used at all. They are good at scaring civilians, but they are useless against those with guns.  The war quickly spread throughout Australia. During the war, the Chinese civilians organized anti-Japanese teams and launched a brave attack on the Japanese army.  The war in Australia made the Japanese even more panicked.  It is too important for the current location there.  The advance army occupied Malacca, and their chances of recapturing it were almost zero.  Once Australia is lost, the hundreds of thousands of troops here in Africa will lose contact with the mainland and completely lose contact.  So, Yamamoto Isoroku took the fleet out and rushed towards Australia.  Trying to use warships to assist the defenders there to defeat the rebellious people and re-stabilize the situation.  This is what Dong Ku wants. What he is waiting for is the Japanese combined fleet.  "Send the order to Mengzi to implement the plan!" Following Dong Ku's order, Mengzi, who had been waiting for a long time, ordered the fleet to set off.  From the Solomon Islands, they bypassed Australia directly to meet the Japanese troops coming from the direction of South Africa.  This will be a far-reaching naval battle and will be an excellent opportunity for the advance force to eliminate the main force of the Japanese fleet.  It is also time to test the aircraft carrier killer.  The Japanese army did not know that there would be a combined fleet far superior to them in front of them waiting for them, as long as they approached the waters near Australia.  If you want to leave again, there is no way.  The submarines here are already densely packed, waiting for the arrival of enemy ships.  Although they do not conduct the main attack, it is still enough to collect intelligence and make up for the fact that the radar cannot fully cover the sea area.  Yamamoto Isoroku did not feel too much pressure. After the army defeated the British joint forces, occupied the entire South Africa, and assisted the army in capturing Madagascar, he knew that the mission here was completed.  He wants to go back and stabilize those coastal countries or islands that he has already occupied.  The most important thing is to help the army capture Malacca, otherwise, their passage will not be smooth.  ¡°He didn¡¯t know that his detour was not going to be smooth sailing, and it was still a difficult situation to survive.  The moment Mengzi's navy moved, Sun Tao also began to cross the sea.  Use all the available tools for crossing the sea and show off.  In fact, they have thousands of helicopters.  There is no need to use the sea crossing tools at all, it is just for everyone to see.  The advance army was about to cross the sea and continue the pursuit.  His action made the British army breathe a sigh of relief. Although they were not allies with the advance army, they had the same enemy. South Africa was captured by the Japanese army within a month. This was a shame, and the losses were also considerable.  The advance army fought hard with the Japanese army.  It was better than them fighting with the Japanese army. After all, the dead people were the advance army. Although the place was controlled by the advance army, there was still reason to follow and they could still get it back.  After all, the advance army is not invading, it's just that the battlefield is on their territory.  Because of this, Churchill chose to retreat and let the advance troops fight the Japanese first. As for the land, we will talk about it later.  Not mentioning this, Mengzi¡¯s fleet arrived at the predetermined location after a day of secret sailing, while the whole of Australia was in a mess.  By this time, it was already dawn and the sight was good.  The Japanese fleet submarines were sailing underwater, and planes were hovering in the sky, searching for suspicious situations around them.  Yamamoto Isoroku had a battle with the British Royal Navy. The British army fled quickly, which made him confused and did not dare to pursue. However, he always felt that it was not the fleet that had fought with them before, and he was worried that the other side would set up an ambush.  Although we are returning to an area under our control, we still need to be safe.  Mengzi already knew the location of the Japanese combined fleet a hundred kilometers away. He did not prepare for a decisive battle. He just let the aircraft carrier's helicopter take off and fight with the Japanese aircraft first. After shooting down most of the attack aircraft, their plan could be safely implemented.  .  The four aircraft carriers all have the same helicopters. The propellers of these helicopters are all folded and they are taking off.After opening it, one by one took off, formed a formation, and headed straight for the Japanese fleet in the clouds.  The Japanese army did not know the situation ahead at this time. Their seaplanes patrolled with a radius of 150 kilometers. If they found enemy aircraft or part-timers, the battle group would have enough people to respond.  Luo Hao, who is leading the team, is the captain of this attack group. In the cloud, he has seen the battle group of enemy ships on the radar, which is no more than 20 kilometers away from them.  "Get ready to fight!" Luo Hao ordered while lowering the nose of the plane and getting out of the clouds.  Hundreds of helicopters roared and followed him out of the clouds, suddenly appearing in front of a seaplane.  The pilot of the seaplane was frightened when he saw the planes emerging from the clouds. He screamed, turned sharply, and tried to leave.  The co-pilot at the back was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening, called out clearly, and discovered the enemy aircraft group.  Luo Hao looked at the water reconnaissance plane in front of him that had completed its turn, and said with a smile: "Don't fire, wait for him to send the news back." The plane turned half of its body, but the other side had not yet opened fire. Fortunately, it was possible to escape.  Ignoring the pressure caused by the sharp turn, I turned my head and glanced at the green fleet of aircraft in the distance under the sun.  Just when he turned his head, he suddenly saw a flash of fire, and then the fire approached quickly.  ¡°What is that?!¡± he exclaimed loudly.  The co-pilot also saw the flames flying rapidly in the sky. Before his eyes could focus, a big hole was blown into the plane with a bang, and then the flames filled the air.  ¡°Ah!!¡± The two of them screamed in horror and despair.  Then it was swallowed up by the flames. In another explosion, the plane shattered into pieces, falling into the sea with flames in the air.  .  "Waste" Luo Hao muttered, but did not blame the wingman who fired.  The new weapons were used for the first time in actual combat.  It was inevitable that it would be scratched by a new root cat, but he understood.  "Wait for the enemy plane to approach!!" Luo Hao ordered loudly.  At the moment when the fleet here was stagnant, Sanbon Fifty-six received news that the enemy fleet was approaching.  This made him extremely excited.  This is the deep sea, at least six to seven hundred kilometers away from the coast. The aircraft fleet is definitely not taking off continuously, it must be an aircraft carrier.  "Find the location of the opponent's aircraft carrier and prepare to fight!!" He ordered calmly.  Subsequently, the Japanese warship sounded a piercing battle alarm, and figures ran on the deck.  One by one, they rushed to the fighting position.  The fighter planes took off in an emergency. The planes roared into the sky one after another on the flight deck. They quickly gathered and rushed towards the location where the enemy plane was found. Anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine guns were raised one after another. The battleship slowly approached the aircraft carrier.  The battleships quickly changed their formations and gathered around the battleships.  Beware of approaching submarines.  In just a few minutes, more than a dozen aircraft pounced in the direction of the enemy planes. At the same time, the mecha high-speed reconnaissance planes penetrated straight into the clouds and searched in the direction of the possible ground aircraft carrier.  "Here we come! Don't let any of them run away, and don't use new weapons. These few are not enough to fill the gap between your teeth." Luo Hao saw the enemy planes displayed on the radar. Although there were a few, he still ordered to meet the enemy. Following the order,  The helicopters formed a formation and hovered in mid-air.  There was no dodging, no maneuvering, and when the aircraft group appeared in the distance, the machine guns opened fire one after another.  The bombs roared towards the enemy plane, like a big net, firmly covering the direction from which the enemy plane came.  "So many!!" The Japanese pilots also saw the group of aircraft in the distance. They were frightened and quickly maneuvered left and right to avoid the oncoming attack.  But they seem to have forgotten that this is exactly how the advance army helicopters fight, blocking from a long distance, rotating the fuselage to shoot, or simply firing the Vulcan cannon on the side, preparing chain after chain of interceptors, waiting for the Japanese aircraft to hit.  Sure enough, the Japanese aircraft were hit again. In the process of turning, they were covered by the rain of bullets, and they didn't even have the chance to fight back. With the sound of "dongdong", one after another was hit, exploded in the air, or screamed and fell into the sea.  More than a dozen aircraft were wiped out one after another, but the message was sent back, letting the aircraft carrier know the location of the enemy aircraft and start maneuvering to avoid them.  At the same time, the assembled fleet of aircraft roared towards us and flew straight towards us, hoping to start an air battle first.  After shooting down these aircraft, Luo Hao ordered the fleet to disperse and begin to prepare to meet the enemy, approaching the enemy warships, forcing the aircraft carrier to take off aircraft to intercept when the air defense was out of reach.  He believed in the commander's judgment that the enemy's aircraft carrier would not let the aircraft group approach, otherwise they would not be able to defend against hundreds of aircraft.   The battle broke out at this moment.  The Japanese aircraft fleet saw the enemy aircraft not far away, and a battle broke out.  The flying skills of the Japanese army are not outstanding, and the circling and fighting skills of the aircraft are considered to be among the best among these countries.  However, the combat effectiveness of the helicopter fleet they faced was beyond their imagination. As soon as they faced each other, the fighter planes exploded directly in the air in bursts of fire, and they did not see what weapon was hit.  This is one of the new weapons of the advance army. It is an airborne rocket and an unguided rocket.  To deal with aircraft that have not yet reached the speed of sound, it is a one-on-one hit. As long as it is locked, it will not run away.  Moreover, the caliber of the rocket is larger than that of the machine gun. One rocket is enough to blow up the aircraft to pieces, and there is no possibility of injury at all.  With a speed of Mach 2, how could this fighter jet be able to avoid it at close range?  It was too late to react.  The Japanese army took off 85 fighter jets. In just a dozen minutes of mid-air combat, they only shot down two helicopters. In the fierce battle, one failed to return and all were shot down.  "Save people! Keep approaching the enemy ship!!" Although he won a big victory, Luo Hao was not careless and ordered to continue approaching the enemy ship, harassing the enemy ship outside the range of its artillery, forcing it to take off its fighter jets.  Yamamoto Isoroku¡¯s scalp is numb now.  Eighty-five planes flew in less than half an hour, but none of them came back. The outcome of the battle was not yet known. They got nothing except the pilots' terrified and desperate shouts.  When the observer saw that the enemy plane was approaching, how could he dare to let the enemy plane approach the aircraft carrier?  That's a sure shot.  "The attack plane takes off!!! The fast battleship approaches to assist!!!" Following the order.  Flamingos took off one after another from the high-speed aircraft carriers.  As these Zeros were the last trump card, he had to use them carefully.  Those destroyers and frigates also broke away from the formation and leaned towards the enemy aircraft, and the anti-aircraft guns even sounded.  Why would Luo Hao wait for the enemy ship to arrive?  Their target is the enemy aircraft, as long as the enemy aircraft is disturbed.  As long as you don't have the energy to bomb, the show is about to begin.  The moment the enemy ship was dispatched, the helicopters immediately separated into groups of ten, avoiding the enemy ship at a distance and waiting for the arrival of the enemy plane.  They are all transport aircraft with enough fuel to fly three thousand kilometers, so they don¡¯t have to worry about fuel consumption in air combat.  And it doesn't do emergency circling, so the fuel consumption is not great.  And those flamingos.  Relying on his fast speed, he roared towards him, trying to use his speed to defeat his opponent's agility.  So, with the enemy warships visible, a fierce air battle began.  More than 50 Zeros chased and flipped in the air for more than 20 minutes, and all were shot down without shooting down any enemy aircraft.  One after another burned into huge fireballs, under the watchful eyes of the Japanese army.  Falling towards the sea.  The enemy planes are so powerful All the Japanese troops on the battleships were stunned when they saw the air combat. This was something they could not contend with.  The opponent's firepower, the opponent's fire-breathing cannonballs and the hits rarely miss the target.  Under the observation of the rangefinder, they finally knew where the fireball came from. It was ejected from a honeycomb-shaped thing at both ends of the aircraft.  It appears to be a multi-barreled artillery piece.  They have new weapons This was the judgment that came to Yamamoto Isoroku's mind.  Having lost most of his attack aircraft, he no longer dared to take off aircraft to meet the enemy. He could only shrink his fleet to defend against air attacks.  After fighting fiercely for more than an hour, Luo Hao saw the fleet in the distance forming a circle again and ordered to return.     at this time.  Those Japanese reconnaissance planes that took off have all been left behind by the anti-aircraft guns from Mengzi, and none of them could escape. Although the Japanese army learned the location of the fleet, I believe it was too late to report the specific situation.  Hearing that the Luo Hao fighter group had returned and lost only two aircraft, Mengzi ordered the fleet to detour to avoid the enemy fleet, and sent a cruiser to follow the enemy ship, waiting for the attack to begin.  An aircraft carrier battle ended in a short air battle. After obtaining the coordinates, the Japanese bombers took off after careful discussion, trying to attack the opponent's aircraft carrier while the enemy planes were landing.  Mengzi had already calculated that the enemy would attack the fleet, so the aircraft carrier was in the middle, escorted by dozens of warships, and the anti-aircraft guns were erected, waiting for the arrival of the enemy planes.  Luo Hao and the others landed quickly, and were dragged to the edge one by one to replenish fuel and weapons.  They were about to launch an attack on the Japanese aircraft carriers and battleships.  As the helicopter landed, enemy planes pounced on it one after another.  When the radar operator locked onto the enemy aircraft group, the 127 anti-aircraft guns roared one after another, and the near-explosion shells flew up one after another towards the enemy aircraft.  Before the Japanese aircraft found the enemy ships in the clouds, the surrounding air suddenly expanded violently, and loud noises sounded their death knell.  Proximal explosive shellsThere was no way to avoid the explosion twenty or thirty meters away from their plane. In the loud roar, the torpedo bombers and dive bombers were torn apart before they could start their attack. Debris flew all over the sky.  The frame burst into flames, or its wings were broken, and it fell to the sea.  "Kill all the enemy planes!!" Mengzi yelled under the gunfire.  On the aircraft carrier, attack aircraft took off quickly. These are different from transport aircraft. They have a short range, but their progress capability is even greater than that of transport aircraft.  In just a few minutes, when the Japanese aircraft group dispersed and tried to break through and approach from all directions, they took off.  The front end of the helicopter was spraying with clouds of flames, and the rockets opened fire just a few hundred meters away.  The rockets dragged the tail fins one after another and rushed towards the enemy aircraft in the blink of an eye. Before the enemy aircraft could understand the situation, they were blown up one after another.  Those escorting attack aircraft also have no ability to fight back. Their 7.62 machine guns cannot hit the opponent from a few hundred meters away, and they can only be beaten.  This is not because the Japanese pilots are incompetent, but in fact, the advance army is at a crushing level in terms of weapons. The speed and accuracy of the rockets are not something they can avoid at all.  No matter whether they dived or climbed, they couldn't escape the attacks of machine guns and rockets.  There was a one-sided massacre in the sky. Japanese aircraft were shot down three or four kilometers away from the battleships. Looking at the aircraft carriers, the battleships were right in front of them, but they had no chance to drop bombs.  They only need a chance. As long as they get close, even if they collide, the Japanese will sink these aircraft carriers.  Unfortunately, they didn't get a chance to get close.  The firepower of these enemy planes was too fierce, giving them no chance to get close at all.  Nearly a hundred bombers and attack planes fell one after another in the smoke, making the Japanese troops crazy, but there was no hope of getting closer.  They were already prepared to severely damage the enemy ship even if the plane crashed into it.  Unfortunately, everything was in vain. They desperately showed off their flying skills, but they could not escape the onboard fire control lock.  Their flying skills impressed the pilots of the advance army, but they still could not escape the fate of being shot down.  Although they also hit several enemy aircraft, due to the weapons, they were unable to penetrate the armor of key parts of the armed helicopter. Apart from making some dents, they did not get anything. When they all crashed, not a single aircraft was left.  Beat it down.  When an enemy plane disappeared from the radar, Mengzi looked at the parachutes falling from the sky with disdain and ordered: "The destroyers will go out and kill all the parachutes. The frigates are ready. We are going to launch an attack!!" Today,  He wanted the Japanese army to see what naval warfare was. Although the other side had dozens of warships, it would only take a few days or a few hours to sink them all!  (To be continued)
