Chapter 352: The Stone Shatters the Sky
In the early morning of November 26, 1577, the navy and army of the Han and Tang Empires carried out a joint landing operation at the port of Fushaliki of the Golden Lion Empire.
For this landing battle, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires gathered a total of 680 aircraft carriers, 462 missile battleships, 236 missile battle cruisers, 1,378 missile cruisers, 1,980 missile destroyers, 2,327 missile frigates, 560 attack submarines, 78 helicopter carriers, 510 dock landing ships and 416 amphibious assault ships, in addition to 18 marine divisions.
On the side of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, 8 group armies and 40 garrison divisions were dispatched at once.
Even the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires dispatched four airborne divisions to participate in this landing operation.
The airborne division of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires, with an establishment of 25,000 people, was the smallest division in the Han and Tang armies.
In the face of the landing of the Han and Tang troops, although the Golden Lion army made full preparations in the port of Fushariki, it was a pity that it still did not resist the Han and Tang forces in the end, and the Golden Lion army also paid more than 600,000 casualties.
After the Han and Tang armies captured the port of Foshariki and the city of Foshariki, where the port of Foshariki was located, they used this as a starting point to successfully open up a second battlefield in the territory of the Golden Lion Empire, and more and more Han and Tang troops landed from the port of Foshariki.
Next, under the resistance of the Golden Lion Army, although the Han and Tang armies occupied more and more areas in the territory of the Golden Lion Empire, the casualties of the Han and Tang armies also increased sharply.
By the end of May 1578, the Han and Tang armies had captured about 5 million square kilometers of territory in the Golden Lion Empire, wiped out at least 38 million army units of the Golden Lion Empire, and the Han and Tang armies had suffered more than 5 million casualties in the Golden Lion Empire.
In the imperial palace of Tiansheng City, the capital of the Han and Tang Empires, Xiang Tao, commander-in-chief of the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires, reported to Zhou Rui in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the current territory of the Golden Lion Empire in the Western Continent is about 13 million square kilometers.
If according to the resistance of the Golden Lion Empire, our Royal Army wants to capture all the remaining 13 million square kilometers of land, and the casualties may increase by more than 10 million, or even more.
Even if the Royal Air Force bombs the entire city into ruins, the Golden Lion Army will rely on the ruins of the city to engage in street battles with our Royal Army, which is the main reason for the surge in casualties in our Royal Army. ”
Song Shenghe, deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Army, then said helplessly: "The Golden Lion Empire even has an army unit composed of female soldiers on the battlefield.
According to the reckless expansion of the Golden Lion Empire, it is estimated that the army strength of the Golden Lion Empire may still reach more than 100 million, and we want to end the fighting in the Golden Lion Empire before the end of this year, I am afraid it will be difficult to do. ”
Zhou Rui sat on the chair, the index finger of his right hand tapped on the table with rhythm, and his eyes were fixed on a military map on the table.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Zhou Rui's eyes, "It seems that the flames of war must be burned to the beast world, otherwise the Golden Lion Empire, as well as the other countries of the Nine Nations Military Alliance, will not yield to our Han and Tang Empires!" ”
Zhou Rui's words made Xiang Tao and Song Shenghe stunned.
Song Shenghe hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, although our Han and Tang Empire controls many two-way alternate space-time nodes leading to the beast world, according to the information controlled by the Royal Intelligence Bureau, those beast countries have built a circle of reinforced concrete fortifications more than 100 meters high at every alternate space-time node where our Han and Tang armies can enter the beast world.
I'm afraid that the largest caliber surface-to-surface missiles equipped by our Royal Army will not be able to destroy the reinforced concrete fortifications built around those nodes in different time and space. ”
Zhou Rui then said: "The two-way time-space nodes you mentioned have long been controlled by our Han and Tang Empires.
I don't believe that the two-way alternate space-time node that the Golden Lion Empire has just lost can immediately build that kind of reinforced concrete fortifications that are more than 100 meters high on the side of the beast world. ”
Xiang Tao's eyes lit up at this time, "The minister understands what His Majesty means, he is ready to take advantage of the fact that the Golden Lion Empire has not yet had time to build reinforced concrete fortifications around the nodes of different time and space, and our Han and Tang armies will directly break through!" ”
Zhou Rui nodded and said, "I have long wanted to enter the beast world.
If we can occupy a foothold in the orc world, then the next step is not just to drive the orcs and elves out of the Western Continent. ”
Just when the Golden Lion Empire was struggling to resist the attack of the Han and Tang armies, a shocking news suddenly shocked the entire Nine Nations Military Alliance.
After the Han and Tang armies captured a city in the Golden Lion Empire with a two-way space-time node, they suddenly attacked a city in the Spirit World of the Golden Lion Empire through a two-way space-time node.
The Golden Lion Army was caught off guard, and the city of the Golden Lion Empire located in the Spirit Race World had already been captured by the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, which also indicated that the human army had set foot on the land of the Spirit Continent for the first time.
The prime ministers of other countries, after learning the news, immediately took a plane to the city of Norya, the first capital of the Golden Lion Empire.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion in Norya City, Kudpu, the Prime Minister of the Red Tiger Empire, urgently asked Salento, the Prime Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, "Prime Minister Salento, how is the situation in Lillen City?" ”
Lillen City is the city raided by the Han and Tang Dynasty armies, the third largest city of the Golden Lion Empire in the beast world, and the largest industrial city of the Golden Lion Empire, the largest aircraft factory and the largest arsenal of the Golden Lion Empire, all located in Lillen City.
There are a total of 236 two-way space-time nodes connected to the West Continent and the Spirit Continent, but as long as the Han and Tang armies can control a two-way space-time node, the Han and Tang armies can continuously enter the Spirit Continent through this two-way space-time node.
This is not only a threat to the Golden Lion Empire, but also a threat to the other five Spirit Race countries in the Spirit Continent, and even to the Natural Elf Empire, the Light Elf Empire, and the Dark Elf Empire located in the other three continents.
Salento, the prime minister of the Golden Lion Empire, said in a deep voice: "Our Golden Lion army is carrying out a counterattack against the Han and Tang forces in Lilren City at all costs.
However, because the Han and Tang armies controlled the different time and space nodes of Lillen City, the reinforcements of the Han and Tang armies were still gathering in Lillen City.
In particular, a large number of fighters of the Han and Tang Empires, through different time and space nodes, have completely controlled the air supremacy over Lillen City, which has caused our Golden Lion Empire's counteroffensive to encounter unprecedented difficulties. ”
Prono, the Prime Minister of the Nature Elf Empire, immediately spoke: "Prime Minister Salento, our Nature Elf Empire is willing to do everything we can to dispatch all the fighters that can be mobilized, including carrier-based fighters, to assist the Golden Lion Army in recapturing the city of Rillen!" ”
At this time, even the Natural Elven Empire knew that it was necessary to put aside all the contradictions between the elves and the beasts and go all out to support the Golden Lion Empire.
Once the Han and Tang armies really gain a foothold in the Spirit Continent, it will not only be a disaster for the six beast countries of the Spirit Continent, but also a disaster for their three elf countries.
Subsequently, the Prime Minister of the Light Elf Empire, Katfi, and the Prime Minister of the Dark Elf Empire, Jegaard, also said one after another that the fighters of the air forces of the two countries and the carrier-based fighters of the two navies will also make every effort to help the Golden Lion Army seize air supremacy over the city of Lillon, hoping that the Golden Lion Empire will coordinate the fighters of the two countries to join the battlefield.
Lillen City is located in the hinterland of the Golden Lion Empire, because of the distance, even the carrier-based fighters of the three elf countries cannot take off directly from the aircraft carrier and participate in the air battle over Lillen City, and the fighters of the air forces of the three elf countries are even more unlikely to fly directly to Lillen City.
Therefore, if the fighters of the three elven countries want to participate in the war, they must transfer and refuel at some airports, and even the fighters of the air forces of the three elven countries must be transported to the spirit continent first.
Seeing that even the three elf countries are willing to take out a large number of fighters to support the Golden Lion Empire's Lillen City, the other five orc countries are certainly not far behind, but among them, the only orc country that can really take out a large number of fighters to support Lillen City is the Red Tiger Empire.
Vidoru, the Prime Minister of the Barbarian Bull Empire, said impassionedly: "Prime Minister Salento, although our Barbarian Bull Empire has no way to support too many fighters to Lillen City, as long as the Golden Lion Empire needs it, our Barbarian Bull Empire is willing to send millions of army troops to assist the Golden Lion Army in recapturing Lilon City!" ”
Salento, the Prime Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Prime Minister Vidoru, but our Golden Lion Empire's army is very sufficient, and there is no need for other allies to send army troops to the battlefield in Rillon City for the time being."
Please rest assured, His Majesty Kosno of our Golden Lion Empire has already said that even if it costs tens of millions of casualties, the Han and Tang armies will be driven out of Lierren City, and the Han and Tang armies will not be allowed to touch our Spirit Clan! ”
As a large number of fighters from other countries of the Nine Nations Military Alliance joined the battlefield of Lillen, an unusually tragic air battle broke out over Lillen.
Of course, even if the Nine Nations Military Alliance invested tens of thousands of fighters and carrier-based fighters into the city of Lillen, the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires still had the advantage.
After Xu Yunfei piloted a Raptor fighter through the giant screen of the different time and space nodes, he immediately pulled the fighter high, allowing the Raptor fighter he was piloting to rush into the air at a height of thousands of meters.
The Raptor fighter, also known as the American F-22 fighter, is currently the strongest fighter with comprehensive combat effectiveness among the four fifth-generation fighters currently equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires.
Xu Yunfei was originally a squadron leader of an American F-15 fighter squadron with the rank of lieutenant colonel.
After many air battles, Xu Yunfei, who has repeatedly made meritorious contributions, has been promoted to colonel and promoted to the captain of the 9th Flying Group of the 43rd Air Force Division of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires.
After Zhou Rui equipped the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empires with a large number of fifth-generation fighters, Xu Yunfei was transferred out and incorporated into a new unit equipped with fifth-generation fighters, and his military rank was still captain.
Today, Xu Yunfei has 64 American F-22 fighters under his command, and today is the twelfth time that Xu Yunfei has led his troops to enter the skies over the city of Lillen to carry out combat missions.
"Attention squadrons! Attention squadrons!
Check if the friend or foe identification system is in order, we are about to enter the combat zone! ”
To Xu Yunfei's surprise, after he led the flight group into the designated area, he only found his own fighters, not the enemy's fighters.
At this time, Sun Chong, the captain of another flying group, said to Xu Yunfei on the communication radio: "Old Xu, you should have come in vain today, and some of the fighters dispatched by the enemy have been wiped out by our brigade. ”
The flight group under Sun Chong's command is also equipped with fifth-generation fighters, which are Russian Su-57 fighters, which are known as Fox Eagle fighters in the sequence of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.
Xu Yunfei asked a little strangely: "How many fighters did the Nine-Nation Alliance send today?" ”
"There aren't many, maybe not even 30, and most of them are third-generation fighters, maybe the fighters of the Nine-Nation Alliance are about to be wiped out by us.
I have already reported to the front command, but I didn't expect your brigade to rush over. ”
At this time, Xu Yunfei and Sun Chong received an order from the front-line command at the same time, asking Sun Chong's flight group to return immediately, requiring Xu Yunfei to lead 64 Raptor fighters under his command to patrol over the city of Lierlen to prevent a sneak attack by the enemy's air force and provide fire support to the Royal Army of the Han and Tang Empires.
In fact, there was no need to guard against the fighters of the Nine-Nation Alliance, and after nearly a month of brutal air battles, not only were the fighters of the Golden Lion Empire's Air Force almost lost, but even the fighters supported by the other five orc countries and the three elven countries, including carrier-based fighters, were almost exhausted.
At the front-line headquarters of the Golden Lion Army outside Lillen City, the Golden Lion Imperial War Minister Rofika frowned and asked his adjutant: "What is the situation on the Air Force's side, can you send fighter jets into the sky above Lillen City to fight?" ”
The adjutant said helplessly: "The Air Force sent a telegram that the last batch of fighters that could be dispatched had all crashed this morning.
Now the Air Force can only wait for new fighters to be produced before sending fighters into the skies over the city of Rillen again. ”
Although Rofika had been prepared in his heart, when he heard that the air force could no longer continue to fight, Rofica still felt very desperate.
The entire Nine Nations Military Alliance, in order to drive the Han and Tang armies out of the Spirit Continent this time, gathered more than 54,000 fighters, of which more than 50,000 fighters and carrier-based fighters combined.
However, so many fighters have almost crashed in the city of Lillen, and the air supremacy of the entire battlefield is still firmly in the hands of the air force of the Han and Tang Empires.
Can he really lead the Golden Lion Army to recapture the city of Rillen? Reclaim that two-way alternate node in the city of Rillen?
However, the desperate thought only flashed in Luo Fika's mind for a few seconds, and then Luo Fika said in a deep voice: "Order all departments to continue to launch a fierce attack on the positions of the Han and Tang armies.
It's still the same sentence, only forward, not backward! ”
