Chapter 273: Killed

In the Ghost 4-class submarine numbered 106, Zhang Donghua, who had been observing the surface situation with a periscope, suddenly turned his head and shouted: "No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 torpedo tubes are filled with water!" ”

The No. 106 Ghost 4-level submarine, which had been squatting in the pit for almost 3 hours, finally squatted to its prey.

The four Black Bear Empire's all-main gun battleships approached the No. 106 Ghost 4-class submarine while firing at the battleships of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires in the distance.

In addition, around the 4 all-main gun battleships, 3 large armored cruisers, 3 light cruisers and 4 destroyers of the Black Bear Imperial Navy were followed.

Zhang Donghua did not let the submarine start in order to find the best launch angle, because in that case, the other party's sonar would most likely capture the position of his submarine.

After the three 550mm torpedo tubes in the front of the Project 106 Ghost 4 submarine were filled with water, only some heavy breathing remained inside the submarine.

The officers and men of the submarine all focused their eyes on Zhang Donghua and waited for Zhang Donghua's next order.

Zhang Donghua stared at the periscope, silently muttering in his heart: Closer, closer.

Due to the two warring sides, many battleships were injured and caught fire, and even a Black Bear Empire all-main gun battleship that was close to it also ignited a fire, which made Zhang Donghua's line of sight quite clear.

"It's now! Torpedoes No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, all fired! ”

When the Black Bear Empire's all-main gun battleship that caught fire approached about 800 meters away from the No. 106 Ghost 4-level submarine, and the side side was facing the front of the No. 106 Ghost 4-class submarine, Zhang Donghua did not hesitate to give the order to attack.

"Tom-tom-tom-"

Three 550-mm torpedoes, after being fired from the torpedo tubes almost simultaneously, quickly burrowed to the surface of the sea, formed three white waves on the surface of the sea, and rushed towards the Black Bear Empire's all-main gun battleship that was on fire.

Zhang Donghua's calculation was very accurate, and even considered the amount of advance, and finally all 3 550 mm torpedoes hit the target, and soon the battleship of the Black Bear Empire's main gun was tilted, and the amplitude became larger and larger, and it was hopeless.

After the Black Bear Empire's all-main gun battleship was hit by 3 torpedoes, the nearby Black Bear Empire battleships opened fire on the surrounding sea, and 3 light cruisers and 4 destroyers even began to drop some depth charges into the sea.

However, after firing 3 torpedoes, the No. 106 Phantom 4-class submarine did not move anymore, and stopped close to 200 meters below the surface, and the attack of these warships of the Black Bear Empire did not affect the No. 106 Phantom 4-class submarine at all.

"Zhang Zhi, let's just wait?" The first mate Tian Heng asked Zhang Donghua in a low voice.

Zhang Donghua is not only the captain of the No. 106 Ghost 4-class submarine, but also the commander of the entire submarine force of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, so Tian Heng will call Zhang Donghua Zhang Zhi.

Zhang Donghua said with a smile: "To be able to sink an enemy's capital ship, our No. 106 has already overfulfilled the task."

Now that we move, we will be found out if we don't get it right, so it's better to be honest.

The task of our submarine force is only to cooperate with the 12 main fleets, and there is no need to risk it in order to expand the results of the battle.

In fact, even without the icing on the cake of our submarine force, the 12 main fleets are enough to clean up the current combined fleet of the nine navies. ”

After Zhang Donghua's more than 400 submarines joined the battlefield, it could only be regarded as the icing on the cake for the 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, but for the combined fleet of the nine navies, it was even worse.

When it was more than 5 o'clock in the morning on October 29, 1550, there were less than 400 battleships and battlecruisers with all the main guns that could still continue to operate in the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy.

You must know that the combined fleet of the nine navies gathered a total of 1,486 battleships and battle cruisers with full main guns for this decisive battle with the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

Excluding the all-main-gun battleships and battlecruisers that had temporarily returned to the port of Zatvina because they were too seriously wounded, the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy had sunk more than 800 battleships and battlecruisers.

The death squads composed of light cruisers, destroyers, and submarines at night caused certain losses to the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, but also caused extremely heavy losses to these three types of warships of the combined fleet of the nine navies.

In the bridge of the Golden Lion Empire's Royal Navy Giant Lion's all-main gun battleship, Raf, the Minister of the Golden Lion Empire's Navy, who had not slept all night, asked Volod, the captain of the Giant Lion, in a hoarse voice: "When will the fighters of the Air Force arrive?" ”

At 5 o'clock in the morning, it was already dark, and Raf hoped to rely on the fighters of the five air forces of the Golden Lion, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, the Flying Leopard, and the Wild Bull to redeem the disadvantage of the combined fleet of the nine navies.

The voice of Volod, the captain of the Giant Lion, also became a little hoarse, "General, the air forces of various countries at the field airfields around the port of Zatvina have begun to move, and soon there will be fighters from our coalition forces arriving on the battlefield.

However, because many fighters from the air forces of the five countries were still converging at the field airfields around the port of Zatvina, we could only get support from more than 700 fighters at the beginning, including about 500 fighters. ”

For what Volod said, Raff actually knows it, "As long as we can hold on, the fighters of the Air Force will continue to join the battlefield."

The combined naval fleets of our nine countries have not yet been defeated, and as long as the air force can seize air supremacy, there is no chance of turning defeat into victory.

We will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory! ”

In the last sentence, although Raff said it to Volod, the captain of the Giant Lion, it was more to cheer him up.

However, what made Raff a little uncomfortable was that the first thing to appear in the sky today was the thousands of carrier-based aircraft of the Han and Tang Empires.

"How many aircraft carriers did the Han and Tang Empires hide?" Raff gritted his teeth.

Up to now, Raff still has not figured out how many aircraft carriers the Han and Tang Empires participated in this decisive battle at sea.

Compared with the nominal commander-in-chief of the combined fleet of the Nine Navies, Song Limin, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires at this time, was in a much better mental state.

Although Song Limin didn't sleep all night last night because he was worried about the war, Song Limin was in good spirits, after all, there was almost no suspense about the outcome of this decisive battle at sea.

"Commander-in-chief, the combined fleet of the nine navies has suffered such a big loss, and it still has no intention of retreating, it seems that it wants to rely on the air forces of the five countries, Golden Lion, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Wild Bull to turn the tables." Zhang Zongtao, the captain of the Bird's Nest, said.

"Turnaround?"

The corners of Song Limin's mouth curled slightly, "Don't worry, the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy can't turn the tables."

Although the carrier-based aircraft of our aircraft carrier fleet suffered heavy losses, there are still more than 11,000 carrier-based aircraft that can still fight.

According to the information sent by the Royal Intelligence Agency, the air forces of the five countries, the Golden Lion, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, the Flying Leopard, and the Wild Bull, have gathered a total of about 27,000 fighters on the northern front.

Yesterday, the air forces of these five orc countries had already lost thousands of fighters, and today they can gather at most a few thousand fighters to participate in the battle, and it won't change anything. ”

After a pause, Song Limin said again: "5 minutes later, order the second wave of attack aircraft to take off!" ”

Chen Yang sat in the cab of his fighter plane, turned his head to Feng Bao behind him and asked, "Xiaobao, can you do it?" ”

At this time, Feng Bao, who had gauze wrapped around his head, loaded the machine gun in his hand, "Squadron leader, my head is scratched a little bit, it's really nothing."

I'm going to take out a few more enemy planes today! ”

Yesterday, Chen Yang and Feng Bao's SBD dreadnought dive bomber flew a total of five sorties, that is, participated in five waves of air strikes on the combined fleet of the nine navies.

In total, 1 Stinger-class aircraft carrier, 1 escort aircraft carrier and 1 light cruiser were sunk, and 11 enemy aircraft were shot down, including 4 enemy planes shot down by Feng Bao.

It was only during the last air raid yesterday that Feng Bao's head was hit by a stray bullet, fortunately, only scratched the skin.

Chen Yang rubbed his hands at this time, "Although we had good results yesterday, it's a pity that we didn't even kill a battleship with full main guns or a battlecruiser.

Today I hope we have some luck, the old Bi of the third squadron, yesterday not only killed 1 battleship with all main guns, but also killed 1 battle cruiser. ”

Chen Yang and Feng Bao's SBD dreadnought dive bomber was classified into today's second wave of attack aircraft group.

When the second wave of attack aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires arrived in the sky above the combined fleet of the nine navies, the first wave of attack aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires had just retreated.

Barely giving the combined fleet of the Nine Nations Navy any respite, more than 3,000 carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires swooped down again.

Originally, more than 500 fighters supported by the air forces of the five countries, namely the Golden Lion, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, the Flying Leopard, and the Wild Bull, had almost been destroyed by the first wave of attack aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

Therefore, when the second wave of attack aircraft flew over, there were no coalition fighters in the air to obstruct them.

Chen Yang aimed at the big guy this time, and dived down against a Golden Lion Empire's all-main gun battleship, and there were also 2 SBD dreadnought dive bombers under Chen Yang's hand, which also pounced together.

However, the anti-aircraft firepower of this Golden Lion Empire's all-main gun battleship is very strong, and there are several warships of the Golden Lion Empire next to it, which are also using anti-aircraft firepower to help this Golden Lion Empire's all-main gun battleship resist the bombers that dive down.

The two SBD dreadnought dive bombers that swooped down with Chen Yang were blown up in the air one after another, but Chen Yang successfully threw 700 kg of aerial bombs onto the deck of the Golden Lion Empire's all-main gun battleship.

The aerial bomb directly penetrated the deck armor, and then exploded inside the hull of the Golden Lion Empire's all-main gun battleship, and instantly detonated an ammunition magazine.

In a series of violent explosions, the Golden Lion Empire's all-main gun battleship was quickly blown in two and quickly sank to the surface of the sea.

And this Golden Lion Empire's all-main gun battleship suddenly depleted the last bit of morale of the combined fleet of the nine navies, because this Golden Lion Empire's all-main gun battleship was the Giant Lion that the Golden Lion Empire's Navy Minister Raff was riding.

Due to the speed at which the Giant Lion sank, in the end, very few of the lion officers and soldiers on the Giant Lion could escape, and Raff, the Minister of the Admiralty of the Golden Lion Empire, was not on the list of survivors.

The death of Raf, the Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, is also equivalent to tearing off the last straw of the combined fleet of the nine navies.

Svia, the Admiral of the Red Tiger Empire, who had taken over Raff's command, decided to have the entire combined fleet of the nine navies retreat to the port of Zatvina, after seeking the opinions of the naval commanders of the other countries.

Svia, the Minister of the Red Tiger Empire's Navy, also sent a telegram to the coalition command on the northern front, hoping that the air forces of the five countries, Golden Lion, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Wild Bull, would do their best to cover the retreat of the combined fleet of the nine navies to the port of Zatvina.

On the bridge of the Red Tiger Empire's Admiration battleship, Svia asked the captain of the Admiration, Fick, with some gloom, "How is the situation on the other side of the port of Zatvina?" ”

The Admiration is the lead ship of the Red Tiger Empire's latest all-main gun battleship, the Admiration class, with five twin 45 times caliber 400 mm main guns, a full load displacement of up to 43,000 tons, and a maximum speed of 23.5 knots.

Captain Feke of the Admiration said in a deep voice: "Thanks to General Raff, he has been asking the injured warship to withdraw to the Spirit World through the Alternate Time and Space node.

So there were not many wounded battleships stranded in the port of Zatvina. ”

One of the most important reasons why the combined fleet of the nine navies chose Latvina Harbor as its station is that Zarvina Harbor has a different time and space node that connects to the orc world.

And on both sides of this time-space node, artificial canals to the sea have been dug by the Silver Wolf Empire, allowing ships to move freely between the two worlds.

With the current situation of the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy, even if it returns to the port of Zatvina, it will not be able to avoid the situation of continuing to be beaten.

Therefore, the combined fleet of the nine navies can only get rid of the pursuit of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires by retreating to the side of the beast world through different time and space nodes.

Svia, the Admiral of the Red Tiger Empire, sighed and said, "That time-space node is only about 200 meters wide, and there are at least 1,800 warships left here in our Nine Nations Navy Combined Fleet.

It is not easy to retreat to the spirit world through that different time and space node. ”

Captain Feck hesitated for a moment and said, "General, the port of Zatvina has a full 30 batteries, equipped with more than 200 large-caliber shore defense guns.

Can't our combined fleet of the navies of the nine countries rely on the battery group of Zatvina Harbor and fight with the navy of the Han and Tang Empires? ”

Svia smiled bitterly and shook his head, "200 large-caliber coastal defense guns are actually equivalent to the firepower of 20 capital ships, and even because of the caliber, the firepower can't catch up with 20 capital ships."

Do you think that even if we have 20 more capital ships, even if we have 20 more capital ships, even if we have 20 Admiration-class all-main gun battleships of our Red Tiger Empire's Royal Navy, we will be able to change the current disadvantage?

It's better to find a way to escape as much as you can! ”
