    Of course, Soviet Russia will not let go of this new weapon, it is too sharp.  With this rapid-fire, powerful rocket launcher, the Beards have reason to believe that they can win the war, completely defeat the German army in the winter, and regain all the lost land after the spring.  As for the price, although it is expensive, the other party wants not only gold, but also miscellaneous jewelry and cultural relics, as well as rare metals, so the pressure on him is not particularly great.  Especially cultural relics. Those bottles and jars are worthless now, and countless of them have been damaged. If they can be exchanged for high-end weapons, wouldn't he make a lot of money?  So, before the afternoon, all the procedures were completed, and the trucks were on the train from the Urals to Soviet Russia, all covered with canvas.  As for the payment, Soviet Russia is also shipping it quickly, and it is not a one-time or two-time transaction. Goudan is not worried that the goods will arrive in Soviet Russia first and he will not be able to receive the money.  Of course, Big Beard will never do such a thing now. He also expects a steady stream of fuel and various supplies, especially the transportation of food and ammunition. Although it is purchased with money, it must be able to  They have to buy it, otherwise their army will have trouble even eating, so why talk about fighting?  The completion of the transaction here is unknown to other countries in the world. Of course, Soviet Russia's confidentiality work is in place, not to mention Dong Ku's side. Of course, no news will be revealed by chance.  However, Germany's Plauer Island material base has also added new artillery, with a range of 150 howitzers that can reach 35 kilometers.  This is for Lao Xi to deal with rocket launchers. He uses long range to deal with rocket launchers with a relatively short range. Even if it has relatively strong maneuverability, it cannot avoid dense covering fire, forcing Soviet Russia, which consumes too much, to continue to purchase and increase orders.  The result was exactly as Dong Ku expected. The artillery had just arrived in Germany and had not yet been installed and sent to the front line. Lao Xi was still thinking about placing these 500 artillery pieces in the upper position.  Soviet Russia has already used new weapons on the second day.  The rocket's rapid corn machine and rapid position transfer caused heavy losses to the German army. In just one day, tens of thousands of German troops were killed by the intensive artillery fire of this new weapon, forcing the German army's defense line in Stalingrad to be compressed. Once again  Back to the city.  Hold on to the city and give up the strategic intention of attacking the Caucasus.  The firepower is too strong.  Lao Xi was shocked. He didn't know whether such fierce firepower was a new weapon given by Dong Ku or developed by the Soviet Union itself. But such threatening firepower made it impossible for his tanks to withstand it. In one day, more than thirty Tigers were all destroyed.  Scrap iron, this is the first time such a big loss has occurred.  This time.  He did not dare to be exaggerated, and postponed his plan to attack the British mainland while taking advantage of the chaos, and transported the long-range artillery he had just obtained to the Soviet front line to fight against this new weapon.  At the same time, collect information and prepare to purchase from weapons companies.  However, when he heard the name Katyusha, he was destined to eliminate the weapons company and Dongku.  After all, this is a weapon with a Russian name.  Neither Dongku nor the weapons company would name weapons after Russians.  Of course, Lao Xi¡¯s actions couldn¡¯t be hidden from Dong Ku. Knowing that Lao Xi¡¯s attention had returned, Dong Ku was relieved.  He just wants to fight a local war, and he will never take sides. Otherwise, how can he accept employment tasks in the future?  After taking care of Lao Xi, his eyes turned to the upcoming first battle of Furious.  This battle must be clean and tidy, and the British main fleet must be destroyed, including those aircraft carriers.  Kill them all, let the British Royal Navy temporarily withdraw from its position as maritime hegemony, let the Raging Tide Fleet take the lead, and lay the foundation for world hegemony.  He had already learned that the British troops were mobilizing and preparing for a decisive battle, so he ordered conventional warfare to attract all British warships.  Destroy most of their main battleships in one fell swoop.  Each warship has six large-caliber missile launch tubes, as well as small anti-air missiles and anti-aircraft weapons.  The number of naval guns has been reduced again, and missiles have replaced the role of artillery.  It didn¡¯t take long to modify these, after all, the basis for modification was left before.  Therefore, at this time, the Mengzi fleet is already equipped with guided missile destroyers and guided missile frigates. All warships are more or less equipped with missile launch systems and missile positioning systems.  After receiving Dong Ku's order, the fleet that had passed Portugal left behind escorting battleships to protect the supply fleet. The battleship group formed a battle group and sailed towards Britain without any cover-up. During the march, it continuously sank  A dozen nearby submarines, no matter which country they were from, were all discovered and sunk, and they were absolutely not given a chance to launch torpedoes.  News of the high-profile attack quickly spread to the United Kingdom, and the Royal Fleet also responded. Aircraft carriers were dispatched one after another and began strategic movements. The main battleship groups on both sides also left the harbor, preparing to encircle and eat the invading enemy in one fell swoop.  This move is undoubtedly a decisive battle, and the British armyAt this time, the Japanese army no longer cares about the opponent's artillery range and firepower allocation. They just need to use quantity, proximity to the coastline, convenient supply, and the advantages of land-based aircraft support to win this naval battle.  As the vanguard, Li Rongbin slowly entered the Celtic Sea with six guided missile destroyers, guided missile frigates, and an aircraft carrier, approaching the British mainland.  Reconnaissance planes were shot down one after another, but his specific location was also exposed. It was learned that the other party only came with a dozen medium-sized ocean-going battleships, and there were no battleships and cruisers among them. Charles Moore, commander of the British Royal Navy's Home Fleet,  Sir John Forbes was surprised when he received the report. It was already confirmed that the enemy would invade, but he did not expect that only less than twenty warships came, and there were no heavy warships. Can such a fleet win a naval battle?  Is it just one aircraft carrier?  However, he soon received new information again, that is, a group of more than 40 warships, including five aircraft carriers, were more than 50 kilometers away from the protruding warships, and slowly followed up.  Want to lure the enemy?  Charles curled his lips and immediately ordered the main battleship groups on the left and right to surround the enemy ships and keep a distance of 150 kilometers from the coast.  As long as the enemy does not enter the encirclement, once they enter this range, they will encircle and kill them quickly.  At the same time, land-based fighter jets are in emergency preparation and ready to take off at any time.  The enemy¡¯s movements had long been captured by the approaching submarine. Mengzi looked at the position of the enemy warships on the chart and couldn¡¯t help but smile.  If you don¡¯t come, won¡¯t I still go?  "Order the vanguard to make a quick assault to attract firepower, and evacuate immediately after engaging." Following his order, Li Rongbin, who was still 100 kilometers away from the enemy ship group, ordered the warships to move up and quickly approach the enemy ship.  Conduct long-range bombardment.  In less than two hours, Li Rongbin¡¯s warship had advanced 60 to 70 kilometers and was already less than 30 kilometers away from the enemy ship.  "Left rudder five! Free fire of armor-piercing shells for the main battery and secondary battery!!" With his roar, all the warships began to deviate from the course. While passing sideways, the main battery and secondary batteries fired in unison.  A swarm of projectiles roared towards the fleet that was approaching slowly, leaving time for the encirclement on the left and right.  Charles did not know at this time that the enemy ship would fire at such a long distance.  His order was for all warships to prepare for battle, and for land fighters and bombers to take off. Regardless of whether the distant main battleship group entered the encirclement, the more than 20 approaching warships and the aircraft carrier must be destroyed first.  At the same time, the aircraft carrier fighters and bombers here also took off.  Lift off behind the main battleships and begin to assemble the formation, preparing to disrupt the opponent's formation before entering the firing range, creating opportunities for the battleships to get closer, and eat these battleships in one fell swoop.  They had a good plan, but it¡¯s a pity.  As their plane took off, the artillery shells had already flown in first, roaring and falling towards the battleships and patrols.  "Artillery attack!!!" When the observer sounded the alarm, the shells had already fallen with the shout.  Then there was a loud bang, and jets of water rose into the sky and exploded around the speeding battleship.  When the water curtain rose, artillery shells also fell on the battleship.  How can the enemy's artillery fire be so accurate with such a long range?  The British troops who already had stupid radar equipment on the battleship were shocked.  Such distances were the limits of their artillery.  Fighting back can't reach the opponent at all.  "Fighters rush forward and entangle the opponent!!!" Charles calmly ordered during the explosion.  He believes it.  As long as the fighter planes are forward, even if the opponent's air defense is strong, they will be entangled. In just ten minutes, they can enter the shooting range and bite the opponent.  At that moment, land-based fighter jets also arrived, under overwhelming attack.  The enemy's main fleet will never show off and wait and see from behind, it will definitely rush forward, and by then the encirclement of both sides will be completed.  Even if the opponent's artillery has a long range, it can't stop the overwhelming attack here.  He seemed to have seen victory.  He confidently picked up the coffee and took a sip.  Loud banging noises continued one after another, and the ones that rushed forward were all heavy battleships. Although shells fell from time to time on the battleships, the damage was not serious. It was obvious that the opponent's artillery caliber was not enough to quickly damage the battleships and heavy cruisers.  This place is far away from the coast. They all know that submarines will not set up an ambush here, and even if they set up an ambush, the shells on both sides do not have eyes, and it is unclear whether they can launch torpedoes.  Therefore, during the bombardment, they all accelerated, rushed towards the enemy ship quickly, and tried to get closer to carry out bombardment.  At the same time, the fighter planes from the aircraft carrier behind passed over the battleship group and roared towards the enemy ship.  "Open anti-aircraft fire with full force! Prepare anti-aircraft missiles!" Li Rongbin ordered unhurriedly.    Following his order, the battleship fired its anti-aircraft guns while shelling. With the sound of "boom", the shells flew into the sky one after another.  Steel ball shells and near-explosion shells formed an interception network in front of the battleship, intercepting all enemy aircraft preparing to approach.  The British aircraft are very sophisticated in their tactics. The moment they see an enemy ship, fighter jets and bombers scatter in all directions, flying high or low in groups, or around the back, without swarming towards the enemy ship.  "It's a pity, how can you fly an air defense with fire control and you still don't have full control?"  Boom!  A near-explosion shell shredded the wings of a fighter jet, leaving the pilot no time to even scream. He plunged his head into the sea, splashed with waves, floated for a while, and then poured in seawater, sinking quickly. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? A series of sounds were like rain hitting banana trees. Holes appeared densely on the glass and fuselage of a fighter plane. When the glass shattered, the pilot's blood also flew everywhere. The fighter jet howled and drew an arc.  Falling towards the sea.  "No! The other side has close-explosion anti-aircraft shells!!" Yi Mingming, the pilots exclaimed and pulled up the nose of the plane to try to avoid it.  But the dense double-linked steel ball anti-aircraft guns kept coming and going there one after another, giving them no chance to escape at all.  The 127-caliber anti-aircraft gun also continued to fire, reaching its maximum rate of fire, and fired close-explosion shells at the escaping aircraft.  In the roaring smoke, fighter jets and bombers exploded or crashed into the sea one after another six or seven kilometers away from the enemy ships. They didn't even have a chance to attack. At most, they exploded with fireworks in the sky.  Those torpedo bombers had no chance to get close enough to drop bombs.  He hurriedly fled for his life while hanging a torpedo.  But can they escape?  The answer is of course no.  Intensive air defense is a piece of cake for experienced warriors with fire control. How can they escape with the fighting methods they are accustomed to?  Even the helicopters on the aircraft carrier did not take off. They just relied on the dense air defense to block the enemy's air attack.  While fireworks bloomed in the sky, the chasing battleships also kept flashing with fire.  The good thing is that the damage is not big.  Just some deck facilities.  The damage to those anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns is not important at present.  "The enemy ship's speed exceeds thirty-five knots!" During this period, Charles received the report.  Speed ??up so much!  !  Charles was secretly shocked.  After four or five minutes of probing attacks by Geothermal's air defense, twenty or thirty aircraft were lost, and it was difficult to get close, no matter how fast the enemy ship was.  Then wouldn't their battleships with an average of less than 30 knots have to watch each other escape and be unable to enjoy the baptism of bombardment?  "Order the left and right fleets to encircle each other, and we must entangle each other for a close decisive battle!!!" He was stunned for a moment, and then gave the order.  At the same time as he gave the order, land-based fighter jets and bombers had arrived, and then intensively pounced on the enemy ships ahead.  How could Li Rongbin, who had known about their return for a long time, give the enemy planes a chance to intensively break through the defense line and hit the warships?  He had given the order to move closer to the battleship group before the enemy planes arrived.  at the same time.  Mengzi in the distance also ordered to continue advancing, moving closer to Li Rongbin, and used dense high altitude to block the enemy's dense aircraft.  The fleets on both sides approached rapidly, at about the same speed. When the enemy planes arrived at the outer perimeter of the defense circle, the two dozen fast destroyers that rushed forward merged with Li Rongbin at a speed of forty knots. The battleship group behind them would have another three to five minutes at most.  Entered the 10,000-meter air defense, but Mengzi wanted to avoid losses.  Helicopters have been ordered to take off, carry out long-range strikes on the left and right sides, and use rockets to deal with enemy aircraft.  The helicopter that took off arrived at Li Rongbin¡¯s camp in a dark atmosphere together with the protruding warships. Amidst the dense explosions in the sky, seeing that the enemy plane had broken through to three thousand meters and was about to approach, tongues of fire spurted out in the sky.  Rockets flew towards the fleet one after another.  "What is that!!??" The British pilot relied on his comrades to resist the gunfire and sacrificed several display racks. When he was about to approach the enemy ship, he suddenly saw a patch of fire flashing in the distance. He was shocked and said:  What kind of weapon is it.  The moment they exclaimed.  A flash of fire came, followed by loud banging noises in the air. Bombers and attack planes were bombed in the air. The pilots were blown to pieces without even having a chance to parachute.  Before the fighters behind them could react, the warships that had entered the range opened fire one after another, and dense shells flew towards the attacking group of fighters.  "Disperse!!!" The British pilot was shocked and quickly acted.In response, it roared and turned, and began to attack in a scattered manner.  But how could they avoid such a dense attack?  In just three to five minutes, when the battleship group arrived from behind, most of the hundreds of planes flying in were left behind, while the rest saw the opportunity early and fled one after another.  However, their losses also delayed Mengzi's fleet, allowing Charles to get closer to more than ten kilometers and enter the range of artillery.  "Fire!!!" As orders sounded from the warships one after another, the British warships roared angrily.  Cannonballs tore through the sea and air, heading straight for the Raging Tide Fleet.  "The aircraft carrier turns around and other warships stay out of the enemy's range. Our feast is coming!!" Mengzi did not panic at all and gave the order calmly.  We had just reached the edge of the bombardment, but Mengzi's fleet had already turned around. When the shells fell, they were one or two hundred meters away from the last dozen or so warships. They could not hit them at all, and they only blew up water columns all over the sky in vain.  At this moment, the battleship's flexibility and speed came into play. If the battleship had a speed of only twenty knots, it would be difficult to avoid the enemy's bombardment when turning around. Seeing that the enemy fleet was biting, Charles ordered the fighter planes to fly again.  Pounce, and at the same time let the battleship group quickly encircle, be sure to block this fleet and engage in a close decisive battle.  He wanted a decisive battle for no other reason. The opponent did not have large-caliber artillery. Mei-oh and the solid battleships had thin armor. If they had speed, they would have to sacrifice armor. Therefore, when they came close to bombard the opponent, Mei-oh had the advantage of speed and distance.  , there is only one way to fail.  The battleship groups on both sides were advancing at full speed, rushing forward quickly to encircle them, preparing to make dumplings and eat this fleet.  At the same time, those fighter jets circling around jumped out again, trying to take advantage of the chaos in the artillery battle, sinking several warships or aircraft carriers, so as to hold back the enemy fleet.  At this time, they had given up the idea of ??using aircraft as the main attack. The enemy's air defense was too powerful, and the advanced weapons of the opponent's aircraft gave them no chance to get close to fight.  Facing the enemy planes flying back again, Mengzi did not dare to be careless at all.  When implementing the final plan, he must eat these aircraft, otherwise it will affect the accurate shooting of the missile.  If a ship-to-ship missile shoots down an aircraft, it will cost you your life.  "Down with all the planes!! Missiles on helicopters and battleships are allowed to be used!!" Following the order, the long-awaited missiles flew out one after another. Fireworks fell like meteors in the sky, and tongues of flame spurted out from the battleships.  Amidst the roar of anti-aircraft guns, planes were bombed in the air six or seven kilometers away from the battleship group.  "These pilots didn't understand what the opponent's weapons were until they died. How could they be so accurate? Even if they evaded, they couldn't escape the rapid pursuit.
