The airport is brightly lit, and a dragon-like convoy keeps entering the airport, and the combat supplies transported from the dock are piled up on the airport. The airport is even more busy, with an average of one aircraft taking off and landing every two minutes. The US Air Force Transportation Force transports day and night to meet the supply of China's battlefield.

Americans deeply admired the brilliant achievements made by Chinese soldiers in the counterattack against Japan. In addition, the American ground troops do not need to participate in large-scale wars, which is something that Americans cannot seek. Therefore, Americans can say that they have all their money in satisfying war materials. The huge war machine of the United States really shocked the world. Now Americans cherish life is more important than cherishing money. Perhaps this is the way of thinking of the Americans.

I heard that China was going to send a Marine Corps to cooperate in combat, so there was no reason not to agree. The US Department of Defense immediately sent a telegram to Eisenhower, the chief of staff of the Chinese theater, which prompted Li Yunlong to successfully complete the journey. The US Navy Indian Ocean Command sent a convoy to the airport to greet him. The Indian Ocean Navy Commander General MacArthur personally went to the airport to greet him!

At present, the US Navy is expanding its capacity on a large scale, but it is unrealistic to hunt aircraft carriers in the short term. Therefore, the counterattack plan formulated by the Americans is very realistic, that is, to concentrate existing aircraft carriers to launch a raid on the Japanese army. After repeated research, the Americans finally formulated an Indian Ocean counterattack plan.

Not to react from the eastern Pacific coast is to catch the Japanese Navy off guard. At present, the main aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy are basically concentrated on the front lines of Pearl Harbor and Guam. The Japanese Navy has only two quasi-aircraft carriers, and these two aircraft carriers of the Japanese Navy are modified from large cruisers, with displacements between 30,000 tons and 40,000 tons. Therefore, the Americans decided to first eliminate the Japanese aircraft carrier fleet in the Indian Ocean and cooperate with the army to counterattack the South China Sea.

"Report to General, Chinese Special Forces Commander Li Yunlong, led the Marines to Mumbai, please inspect!" As soon as he met, Li Yunlong gave a standard military salute. MacArthur held a pipe in his mouth and also responded with a military salute, saying, "Commander Li, welcome the Chinese Marines to join the US Navy sequence in the Indian Ocean. I believe that the Sino-US coalition forces will definitely achieve great results. I look forward to the arrival of that day as soon as possible." The welcome scene was very grand. MacArthur judged by Li Yunlong and his subordinates that this was a well-trained force.

Soon, Li Yunlong arrived at the barracks near Mumbai with MacArthur himself. The Americans' arrangements were very thoughtful. That night, Li Yunlong rested in the barracks. The next morning, Commander MacArthur sent someone to pick up Li Yunlong. The car went straight to the military port wharf. Li Yulong was a little confused. He didn't go to the headquarters and ran directly to the military port wharf. Why did he do if the car didn't go to the headquarters?

The US Navy officer who came to pick him up was a strange face, and Li Yunlong was inconvenient to ask. The car passed the US military police's inspection car and then headed straight to the shore of the dock. Li Yunlong got out of the car and saw MacArthur and many US officers waiting on the dock. Douglas saw Li Yunlong out of the car and hurriedly walked over from the crowd to greet him.

Douglas said enthusiastically: "General Li, Commander MacArthur made a special trip to invite you to visit. The Indian Ocean aircraft carrier fleet arrived. Li Yunlong came forward to greet him. MacArthur made an exception and grandly introduced Li Yunlong to the officers present. Every general present came forward to shake hands with Li Yunlong and showed respect, and the atmosphere seemed to be happy.

Every general sincerely expressed his greetings to the Chinese soldiers, and this made the accompanying translation awkwardly. When Li Yunlong heard the translations of almost the same words of praise, he said to the translator: "You don't need to translate them all. If there is nothing new, just nod to me."

After a while, everyone calmed down. After a while, the figure of the US Navy fleet appeared on the sea. Accompanied by the distant whistle, the huge bodies of the three American aircraft carriers showed a clear outline. Various warships following the aircraft carrier were even more powerful. The military bands on the shore began to play music. In the distance, many British residents living in the local area, most of whom were women and children, were waving the colorful flags in their hands and began to cheer.

When Li Yunlong saw the huge fleet, he felt a sense of mission and felt that the burden on his shoulders was heavier. When can we have such a fleet that gallops across the ocean and stand out in the eyes of all the heroes? Li Yunlong secretly made up his mind to live up to the trust of Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mu, resolutely complete the task, and strive to build Chinese naval forces as soon as possible and gallop across the ocean.

The tall hull of the US Navy aircraft carrier was parked on the sea a hundred meters, and the leading one was the USS Enterprise. After repair, the Americans carried out a lot of modifications, and the heads were poked out on both sides of the deck to form a larger space. Obviously, this move was to park more carrier-based aircraft. After modification, the number of carrier-based aircraft carriers of USS Enterprise increased by one quarter. As an aircraft carrier platform, carrier-based aircraft is a weapon for combat.

On the left is the USS Saratoga aircraft carrier, which was unexpectedly absent at Pearl Harbor, has a much smaller hull than the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier. After all, the USS Saratoga aircraft carrier is modified from a battleship. On the right is the USS Hornet, the main aircraft carrier warship of the United States, which was originally part of the US Atlantic Fleet. Its displacement is not as good as that of the USS Enterprise aircraft carrier.

The Hornet aircraft carrier was originally a member of the Atlantic Fleet. According to combat needs, it formed an Indian Ocean Fleet, so it recruited the Hornet aircraft carrier to join the Indian Ocean Fleet. The Americans had to show morale in the first battle, so they used three aircraft carriers to deal with the two Japanese aircraft carriers to ensure victory and boost the morale of the US Navy. The welcome scene was not narrated, and Li Yunlong was depressed on his way back to the barracks. The young translator tried to talk to him about his feelings, but when he saw Li Yunlong with a tiger face, he fell tactfully into silence.

When he returned to the barracks, the captain Zhan Kai accompanied the inspection barracks. When he saw Li Yunlong's expression, he asked carefully: "Commander! You will be depressed when you come back to the US military headquarters. Has the Americans stumped you?" Li Yunlong said: "MacArthur asked me to go to the military port terminal to welcome the arrival of the US Indian Ocean aircraft carrier fleet."

"Damn it! Seeing the US aircraft carrier fleet is really eye-catching, and the shocking power is indescribable in words. Now I understand why Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mu is obsessed with the navy. In the future, China will not be called a military power without a powerful naval force, let alone a military power!" Li Yunlong was obviously stimulated.

Zhan Kai said: "Is it because the Deputy Commander-in-Chief let us capture the Japanese aircraft carrier?" Li Yunlong shook his head and said: "Deputy Commander-in-Chief Mu did not like a single existing aircraft carrier of the Japanese army. He said that the future aircraft carrier battle group, the US model is the development direction. Our current mission is to capture the Japanese Navy's frigates and destroyers, as well as transport ships, minesweepers, etc. The aircraft carrier fleet must have a large number of assisted ships."

Zhan Kai asked: "Did we ask the Americans to build aircraft carriers for us?" Li Yunlong said: "I don't know this. Deputy Commander Mu is unfathomable. He is probably confident. This time we fight side by side with the US military, and our main task is to capture the Japanese Navy's warships. Therefore, we should not disclose this training subject for the military training for the time being, so as not to let the Americans notice our intentions!"

Two days later, at the corner of the military port dock, MacArthur visited the Marine Corps' military performance. The performance courses were mainly armed swimming, sea shooting performances, and landing combat drills. The Americans borrowed several coastal gunboats from the British Navy to assist the Marine Corps in training and performances. Li Yunlong personally accompanied Commander MacArthur and other generals to watch the training performance.

The weather was gloomy and waves surged on the sea. Several gunboats were dragging the target, and several other gunboats carried Marines, with a distance of about 400 meters between the gunboats. When the two teams of gunboats intersected, the shooting performance officially began. Accompanied by the crisp gunfire, the black balloons on the target boat were blown out one by one, which was completely shot. The Marines' marksmanship won rounds of applause and shouts.

Then, two gunboats set off a team of marines about 3 kilometers away from the shore. They swam to the shore with weapons with all their might. The team members entered the shallow water area, quickly took off their blocking rifles, destroyed the targets on the shore, and then rushed ashore to perform landing operations. The team members' agile skills were dazzling.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of Marines appeared on the shore, performing bare hands fighting. The fierce fighting between the team members was frightened, and the Americans present were almost stunned. Then another team of Marines held short guns, and a moving human target appeared in front of them. In order to perform realistically, the American soldiers were manipulating the moving target.

With the Marines' accurate, rapid and fast shooting of targets, dense bullet holes appeared on the head and chest of the moving humanoid target. Seeing this, MacArthur, who had no expression for a long time, said to Li Yunlong: "Commander Li! Your country has reached the forefront of the world. You have trained a terrible maritime combat force. Your training level is so far the only powerful force in the world, and it is worth learning from us!"

Li Yunlong said: "Commander, this army was formed three years ago. We have been training for three years for sea combat!" MacArthur looked at Li Yunlong in confusion and said: "I can't understand the super-strong thinking mode of your country's military strategists. It stumped you three years ago that China and the United States will jointly fight at sea today? It's incredible!"

Li Yunlong did not answer the question, and his face showed an unfathomable expression. In fact, he was no longer surprised by Mu Yaping's amazing moves. Besides, he could not answer the questions raised by MacArthur. Seeing that the other party was unwilling to answer the questions, MacArthur knew that it was involved in military secrets, he had to shrugge his shoulders to express his understanding.

Then MacArthur said: "Commander Li, after watching your military performance, I am full of confidence in your troops fighting across islands on the sea. Now we can form a combination punch. According to your combat characteristics, we will soon formulate a combat plan. We will officially hold a military meeting tomorrow. Now I have a plan in my mind to use you."

The next day, the US Indian Ocean Fleet Command held a military meeting. According to the intelligence provided by British submarine reconnaissance, two Japanese aircraft carrier battle groups are currently active in the Nicobar Islands. The Japanese Navy set up a temporary supply base on Songzhu Island, the largest island in the Nicobar Islands, and stationed a large group of Japanese troops.

The combat mission assigned by Li Yulong was to attack and capture Songzhu Island.
