Anti-Japanese War: The whole world is a base vehicle

Under the circumstances at the time, the British Army had always enjoyed a very high reputation and was considered one of the strongest forces on the planet.

Although the army may not be as strong as some other top land forces and has certain shortcomings, the navy is definitely the undisputed absolute overlord. Relying on its powerful fleet, advanced ship equipment and rich naval combat experience, it can walk sideways in all oceans, making many opponents fearful.

But this time, the British army faced a different opponent. They encountered the Independent Free Army, which was really not simple. It showed super strength in many aspects. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a "monster" that was a hundred times stronger than the British army.

That’s right, a hundred times!
At least from the perspective of manpower and weapons and equipment, the Independence Freedom Army has nothing to worry about.

In terms of manpower, they are never short of men. As long as there is a need, they can quickly assemble a large number of troops to fight. In terms of weapons and equipment, as long as there is sufficient funding, they can continuously bring in various advanced weapons to arm more combat forces.

In fact, if Wang Jun had not been afraid of recruiting too many people at once and affecting the overall combat effectiveness, he could have recruited more natives to serve as cannon fodder.

However, at the beginning, the reputation of the Independence Freedom Army was not loud enough, the natives did not know much about it, and not many people took the initiative to join it.

However, as the battle began, the Independence Freedom Army won victory after victory on the battlefield, and gained prestige. Naturally, their reputation began to spread, and now more and more people came to join them.

Wang Jun accepted all the natives who came to him for refuge, and then organized them into a separate army and generously provided them with weapons and equipment. However, most of these people were arranged to serve as cannon fodder, rushing to the front in battle and taking on the most dangerous tasks.

Therefore, the British army, which was extremely powerful and invincible in the eyes of others, did not seem so powerful in front of the Independent Free Army. That was all. There was nothing too powerful or difficult to defeat about them.

Half an hour later, the newly replenished Independent Freedom Army once again took action with great momentum.

The never-ending cannon roared once again, one cannon after another spewing out tongues of fire, and shells whizzed towards the British positions. For a moment, gun smoke once again filled the entire battlefield, and the scene was so chaotic that it covered the sky and the sun.

Lieutenant General Wavell was staying in the command center. At this time, the phone kept ringing. There were emergency messages from the front line everywhere. Sometimes they said reinforcements were needed, and sometimes they said artillery support was needed. The situation was extremely urgent.

But he was helpless at the moment. All the reserve troops he could mobilize had already been sent out, and he was at the point where he had no more soldiers to send. Now he could not find any reinforcements at all. He was as anxious as an ant on hot pan, pacing back and forth in the command center, but there was nothing he could do.

Now he can only hope that the air force can arrive at the battlefield in time. If the air force can come, maybe they can turn around this unfavorable situation of the battle. Otherwise, he may not be able to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, and the battle will be completely lost.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, speed up, those bastards in the army need our support." On the British Air Force side, the commander shouted at the top of his voice, his tone revealing a hint of anxiety and dissatisfaction with the army. He wondered why the army was so incompetent and was actually beaten back by a group of rebels. It was too embarrassing.

"Yes, sir." The pilots responded hurriedly and began to speed up their fighter planes under the urging of the commander and flew quickly towards the battlefield. They were also very puzzled. They originally thought that the army had strong combat effectiveness, so why did they get beaten so badly this time? It was really strange.

But when they arrived at the battlefield, they began to regret it.

"Sir, British fighter planes have been spotted." At this time, the Independent Freedom Army's ground radar vehicle quickly detected the British fighter planes and quickly synchronized them to the airport.

"Call the airport immediately and tell them that British warplanes will arrive in Cairo in half an hour. There will be about a hundred of them, and bombers are expected."

"Yes!"

After receiving the intelligence, Wang Jun did not dare to delay at all and immediately ordered the airport to start all the fighter jets.

At this time, the number of fighter jets in Wang Jun's hands has exceeded one hundred, and they are all LaGG-3 fighters. Although the LaGG-3 fighter is not the most advanced fighter, its performance is still good and it has certain advantages in air combat.

Fortunately, Lu Yuhua promised Wang Jun that he could provide a batch of LaGG-5 fighter jets when necessary. The LaGG-5 fighter jets are much more advanced than the LaGG-3 fighter jets. If he has the LaGG-5 fighter jets, his air force will be invincible in a short period of time and will have an absolute advantage in air combat.

On the other side, British fighter planes were flying towards the battlefield. Suddenly, a pilot shouted in fear: "Damn it, what is this? Oh my God, it's a LaG-3 fighter. Save me..."

boom!
There was a loud bang, and the British fighter plane in front was instantly destroyed, turning into a fireball and falling to the ground.

"Damn it, what's going on?" The British officer in charge of commanding the operation was stunned when he saw this scene. He widened his eyes with disbelief on his face. He only saw a black shadow flash by and the plane exploded in an instant. He didn't even see how the other party attacked.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Next, a large number of bullets came down like raindrops again, and several British fighter planes were directly blown up in mid-air. The pilots didn't even have the chance to parachute, and were blown to pieces along with their fighter planes. The scene was simply a nightmare.

"What the hell is this?"

"It's a LaGG-3 fighter."

"Could it be that the Soviet army has joined the war?" The pilots on the British side were all in a panic, dodging the attacks and speculating in fear.

boom!
boom!
boom!
There were endless explosions. The fighter planes of Wang's army attacked fiercely and did not give the British pilots any chance to parachute. They caught the British army completely off guard. The British pilots never expected that the enemy would ambush in mid-air. They had originally thought of supporting the army and then showing off their skills, but now they were in a desperate situation.

Fortunately, the British commander reacted quickly and made changes immediately, shouting: "Retreat, retreat quickly, withdraw from here immediately, and continue the attack after adjustment."

"Yes." The pilots responded quickly and began to operate their fighter planes to escape from the dangerous airspace.

Unfortunately, it was too late, because in order to deal with these British fighters, Wang Jun spent a lot of money and sent out all the hundreds of fighters in his hands. In other words, this time either the British army was finished or he was finished. Both sides had already fought with all their strength and there was no way back.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that the British army is more likely to be destroyed.

After all, Wang Jun's new LaGG-5 fighter jets are being produced. As time goes by, if more advanced fighter jets are added later, the British army will inevitably lose. This situation is very unfavorable for the British army.

"Follow me!" A LaGG-3 fighter pilot shouted and rushed towards the British fighter plane with his wingman. His momentum was so brave that it was obvious that he was ready to fight with his life.

Faced with this kind of fighting style, the British pilots were naturally frightened. After all, compared with the fighters under Wang Jun's command, the training cost of British fighter planes was naturally much higher. Training a qualified pilot took up a lot of resources and time, so they were reluctant to risk their lives like this and naturally could not accept such a fighting style.

"withdraw!"

"Retreat!" The British pilots shouted in panic, just wanting to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Kill!" The pilots on Wang Jun's side took advantage of the victory and continued to attack while shouting slogans.

Just like that, the air force that Lieutenant General Wavell had been waiting for for a long time was completely destroyed!
When Lieutenant General Wavell received the news via telegram, his face was stunned. He couldn't believe it at all. He had been counting on the Air Force to turn the tide of the war, but now his last hope was shattered. He stood there for a long time without coming to his senses, his heart full of despair.

"Damn it, this must be the Soviet army joining the war. If it weren't them, how could there be such powerful fighter planes?" Lieutenant General Wavell finally came to his senses, his face flushed with anger, his eyes as big as copper bells, and he began to curse.

He really couldn't swallow this. He originally thought that the arrival of the Air Force would be able to change the current passive situation of being beaten, but who could have imagined that the other side had such powerful fighter jets that destroyed the British air force in one fell swoop. This made him blame the Soviet army for everything, and he believed that it must be the Soviet army behind the scenes, otherwise how could such a situation occur.

"These bastards are sons of a bitch. I must sue them. This is war." He cursed and waved his arms. He looked so angry that it seemed as if he wanted to vent all the anger in his heart in this way.

In his opinion, the other party's behavior violated the rules of war. If the Soviet army really joined the war, the nature of the situation would be different, so he shouted that he wanted to complain, but in fact, he knew in his heart that in the current situation, he had no time to complain. It was just a harsh remark made in anger.

He is now completely helpless and furious.

Because apart from yelling and cursing here, he had no other way to solve the difficult problem before him.

The air force was gone, the defense line was shaken by the rebels, and he was isolated and helpless. These problems were like mountains, which made him breathless. But he had no way out and could only curse to relieve his inner emotions that were about to collapse.

"Sir, what should we do now?" The subordinates came back to their senses at this time, and looked at each other with pale faces and horror. They knew very well that they had been following the British army in the North African battlefield for many years, and they had done a lot of things like oppressing local people and looting supplies. If the rebels really attacked the city, they would be miserable, and they would definitely not have a good ending. That's why they were so terrified and eagerly hoped that the commander could come up with a solution.

Hearing this, Lieutenant General Wavell's expression became even gloomier. His already gloomy face looked as if water could drip out of it. His brows were tightly furrowed together, almost twisted into a knot.

"Reinforcements? How long will it take to arrive?" He asked, gritting his teeth and suppressing his anger. He thought to himself that now he could only pin his hopes on the reinforcements. As long as the reinforcements could arrive in time, maybe they could hold the position and not let the rebels succeed.

"It will take at least two more days. Because they are an infantry division, their marching speed is not that fast." The subordinate replied hurriedly, with helplessness and anxiety in his voice.

They also knew that these two days were not a short time. Given the current situation on the battlefield, let alone two days, even if they delayed a little longer, they might not be able to wait for reinforcements to arrive, and the city would be breached by the rebels. However, the infantry division's marching speed was such that it could not speed up in a short time, and they had no choice.

"Damn it, tell Tovey that I need an armored division, not an infantry division." Lieutenant General Wavell roared angrily, and the sound echoed in the command post, making people's ears buzz.

Not only does the infantry division march slowly, its combat effectiveness is also limited. At this critical moment, there is no time to wait for the infantry division to arrive slowly. Only the armored division's powerful mobility and firepower can play a role at the critical moment, and maybe even quickly turn the tide of the battle. So he eagerly requested to be replaced by an armored division, but he also knew that it would not be so easy to transfer the armored division over in such a short time. But he couldn't care less now and could only put forward his request first.

Lieutenant General Tovey, who received the telegram, looked at the contents of the telegram in his hand with a look of shock on his face, his eyes wide open, full of disbelief.

He never imagined that the air force he sent out to support would suffer such a disastrous defeat on the battlefield and was almost wiped out by the enemy.

If those pilots had not seen the bad situation and flown fast enough and tried their best to escape back, the air force would have been completely wiped out, and the consequences would have been unimaginable.

"Hundreds of LaGG-3 fighters?" Lieutenant General Tovey frowned, raised his voice and asked again to confirm. He really couldn't believe that the other side could dispatch so many Soviet fighters at once.

Such a large scale and this sudden situation made him a little confused for a moment, and he felt that the situation was completely beyond his control.

"Yes." The communications staff officer who came to report was also confused. He scratched his head and was also full of doubts. The sudden appearance of so many Soviet fighter planes clearly showed that they were ready to join the war.

He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that the Soviet army was taking revenge for some action that happened more than 20 years ago?

After all, there have been many grievances and hatreds between countries in the past. If you think about it this way, it seems not impossible.

Considering the previous relationship between the two sides, such a situation seems quite normal, but they had never expected to encounter such a change on the North African battlefield.

"This matter must be reported to General Kan'an Ning. This is not something we can solve." Lieutenant General Tovey took a deep breath, calmed his somewhat panicked mood, and said in a serious tone.

He knew very well that he was no longer able to handle the current situation. With so many Soviet fighter planes participating in the battle, there might be more complicated situations behind the scenes, and he had to let General Kan Anning know.

"Yes." The communications staff quickly responded, and then immediately arranged to report the matter to General Kanning. (End of this chapter)
