"Those rice buckets of the intelligence system, this time they can kill the entire combined fleet of the nine navies!" Raff, the Admiral of the Golden Lion Empire, gritted his teeth and said.

Raff never imagined that the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires would suddenly appear so many aircraft carriers, and the performance of the opponent's carrier-based aircraft far exceeded that of the allied countries.

Even the fighters of the Golden Lion Imperial Air Force are not the opponents of the carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, and the carrier-based aircraft here even include the carrier-based dive bombers and carrier-based torpedo attack aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

Originally, I always thought that the combined fleet of the nine navies had an absolute advantage in aircraft carriers, but when it was attacked by three waves of air attacks from the other side in a row, the so-called superiority was just a joke.

Under the powerful offensive of the naval aviation forces of the Han and Tang Empires, the combined fleet of the nine navies did not even send out the second wave of attack aircraft.

Volod, the captain of the Giant Lion, took a few pieces of paper and walked to Raff's side with a solemn face, "General, at present, the navies of the nine countries combined, a total of 43 battleships with full main guns, 50 battle cruisers, 34 large armored cruisers, 19 light cruisers, 12 destroyers and 178 escort aircraft carriers have been sunk.

7 of the Stinger-class aircraft carriers of our Golden Lion Empire were also sunk, and only 1 of the remaining 5 could continue to fight.

In addition, a number of warships, including 15 battleships with full main guns and 19 battlecruisers, were so badly wounded that they could hardly continue the battle. ”

Raff said in a deep voice: "How many carrier-based aircraft are left that can continue to fight now?" ”

"There are less than 5,000 left, but there are still some warplanes on the Army's side," Volod said.

The Army Command on the Northern Front is also urgently mobilizing more warplanes to fly to airfields around the port of Zatvina. ”

When Raff heard this, his face became even more ugly, now that the war has only been going on for more than two hours, the number of carrier-based aircraft in the combined fleet of the nine navies is only one-third, how can this battle continue?

"Now the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires, how far away is from us?"

"At least 200 kilometers to go."

Raff hesitated for a moment and asked, "Commanders of other countries, do you have any suggestions?" ”

"General Murka of the Black Bear Empire has sent a telegram, suggesting that our combined fleet of the nine navies meet it.

Since it is impossible to defeat the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires with aircraft carriers, then it can only be face-to-face! ”

"Volod, what do you think?"

"General, there is a saying in human beings, stay in the green mountains, and you are not afraid of no firewood.

I think that in this decisive battle, the opportunity that our nine-nation naval combined fleet has lost is not as good as ......"

Before the captain of the Giant Lion, Volod could finish his words, he was interrupted by Raff, "I also know that if this decisive battle continues, it will be detrimental to our nine-nation naval combined fleet.

But the question is, will the navy of the Han and Tang Empires give us a chance to retreat from the combined fleet of the nine navies?

You must know that the losses of the opponent's carrier-based aircraft are much less than ours.

If we retreat, we will always be under constant attack by the enemy's carrier-based aircraft on the way to retreat, and where can we retreat now! ”

Raff then let out a long sigh, "Let's fight! If you don't fight, you won't have a chance at all. ”

At this time, the second officer of the Giant Lion ran over, "The radar has detected that the enemy's fourth wave of attack aircraft is approaching. ”

Raff hurriedly said: "Order all carrier-based fighters on each aircraft carrier to take off immediately."

Order all battleships, ready for air defense operations! ”

After a pause, Raff then said firmly: "Send a report to the naval commanders of various countries, all warships are heading east to meet the main naval force of the Han and Tang Empires. ”

"General, is the second wave of attack aircraft still sorted?"

"Sortie! Must be dispatched! We can't just get beaten and not fight back!

Send out all the carrier-based dive bombers and carrier-based torpedo attack aircraft! ”

When the time came to 1:20 p.m. on October 28, 1550, the Royal Navy Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires and the Combined Fleet of the Nine Nations Navy finally launched a face-to-face confrontation.

Prior to this, the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires launched a total of 8 waves of air attacks on the combined fleet of the nine navies, and the combined fleet of the nine navies only dispatched 2 attack aircraft groups, which became unsustainable because of the large losses of carrier-based aircraft.

Since the sixth wave of air raids by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, the carrier-based aircraft of the combined fleet of the nine navies have been almost completely lost.

Thanks to the air forces of the five countries, the Golden Lion, the Black Bear, the Silver Wolf, the Flying Leopard, and the Wild Bull, they constantly sent fighter planes to fly over the combined fleets of the nine navies, so that the carrier-based aircraft of the Han and Tang Empires would not completely control the air power.

"Knock-knock-"

Some all-main gun battleships and battle cruisers at the forefront of the combined fleet of the nine navies were the first to launch a salvo of main guns at the warships of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, which were 25,000 meters away.

Originally, the combined fleet of the nine navies gathered a full 1,486 battleships and battlecruisers with full main guns, but after eight waves of air raids by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, there are now only more than 1,000 battleships and battlecruisers with all main guns of the combined fleet of the nine navies.

The other more than 400 battleships and battle cruisers with all main guns were either sunk or were too badly wounded to continue the operation.

However, to the despair of the officers and men of the Nine Nations Navy Joint Fleet, just as the confrontation between the capital ships of the two sides had just begun, a dense array of Han and Tang Empire carrier-based aircraft appeared in the distant sky......

Volo is a bear clan, nearly two meters tall, and is just 19 years old this year.

Volo's family was wealthy, and his father ran two modest garment factories.

Originally, it was a conscription of the Black Bear Empire, and it was not Volo's turn, but because Volo had hoped to be a general galloping the sea since he was a child, coupled with the Black Bear Empire's propaganda for this war, Volo carried his family behind his back and signed up for the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire.

When Volo's father found out about this, he could no longer change the fact that Volo joined the army, so he could only spend money to help Volo dredge up relations in the army.

After a short period of recruit training, Volo was assigned to the Spitfire-class battleship Gift, where he became an ordinary sailor.

However, because Volo had a good father, Volo did not have to be like other recruits, and after getting on the warship, he almost became a coolie, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work.

Volo was directly appointed as a trainee rangefinder and assigned to the No. 3 main gun turret.

The Black Bear Empire's Spitfire-class full-main gun battleship has five twin 45x caliber 380 mm guns, and the No. 3 main gun turret of the Gift, located in the middle of the Gift's deck.

The Gift all-main gun battleship also joined the combined fleet of the nine-nation navy, and fortunately, the all-main gun battleship was only blown up in the first 8 rounds of air raids by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires.

The main gun turret that was blown up was the No. 3 main gun turret where Volo was.

When the turret was blown up, it was fortunate that Volo was not there, otherwise he would have been blown into a pile of meat paste like the entire Bear Clan officers and soldiers in the turret.

Volo was then temporarily transferred to the air defense department as a co-gunner for a 13-mm anti-aircraft machine gun.

"Volo, have you used an anti-aircraft machine gun before?" Gunner Soft asked.

Volo had just been brought to this anti-aircraft machine gun position by an officer, and after only a brief introduction to the machine gunner Soft, the air defense alarm of the battleship Gift's full main gun went off.

Volo said nervously: "I am a trainee rangefinder in the No. 3 main gun turret, and I have never touched an anti-aircraft machine gun before. ”

Hearing this, the machine gunner Soft couldn't help but scold his mother, "Even if the manpower is tight, you can't add a new recruit!" ”

The original two sub-machine gunners under Soft were killed by the low-altitude strafing of the carrier-based aircraft of the Han and Tang Empires.

Volo hesitated for a moment and said: "Sergeant Soft, I heard that because of the heavy losses in the personnel of the air defense department, even some boilermen have been temporarily transferred to the air defense position. ”

The machine gunner Soft had the rank of sergeant, while Volo had the rank of a 3rd class, which was equivalent to a recruit.

The machine gunner Soft said helplessly: "I can only briefly teach you how to control the machine gun.

I hope I can survive, otherwise our anti-aircraft machine gun position will be useless.

I'll show you how to reload this anti-aircraft machine gun first! ”

In the ninth wave of air raids by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, the battleship Gift, which had all its main guns, was lucky not to eat a single aerial bomb or torpedo.

However, the machine gunners Soft and Volo did not look very good, because in the course of the air raid, the battleship Gift was hit by 2 large-caliber shells in a row, which ignited a large fire.

Don't forget that there are not only carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, but also the 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires not far away.

Now the smoke rising from the battleship with all the main guns of the Gift has reached a height of hundreds of meters.

"Sergeant Soft, the Gift won't sink, will it?" Volo asked.

And as soon as Volo's words fell, another Black Bear Empire Spitfire-class all-main gun battleship not far away suddenly exploded violently, and then this Spitfire-class all-main gun battleship was blown into two pieces and quickly sank to the sea.

Heavy Soft swallowed his dry throat, "Volo, do you have a girlfriend?" ”

Hearing Soft's answer, Volo was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "I have a girlfriend, and when the empire wins this war, I will propose to my girlfriend." ”

Soft smiled wryly, "I'm already engaged to my girlfriend, and if it weren't for this damn war, my girlfriend and I would have been married a long time ago." ”

Then Soft said with a hideous face: "I don't want to die here!"

Volo, come with me! Let's get out of here! ”

"Huh? Leave?

Sergeant Soft, but ......"

"Nothing, in my experience, the Gift can't be saved, we must get out of here at once, and be ready to abandon the ship.

If we stay here, we may not even have a chance to escape by jumping into the sea. ”

"But we didn't receive an order to abandon the ship."

"Volo, if you want to stay, I have no opinion."

"That'...... That...... Sergeant Soft, I ...... I...... I'm willing to leave with you. ”

"Give! Put on your life jacket first! ”

Soft and Volo, after leaving their anti-aircraft gun position, ran all the way to the deck railing of the warship.

Then, before the two of them could reach the place, the battleship Gift, with all its main guns, was hit by another large-caliber shell, and Soft and Volo were even knocked to the deck.

Immediately after that, the hull of the battleship Gift, which was full of main guns, began to tilt, and Soft and Volo almost crawled to the deck railing.

"Volo, jump! Swim as far as you can! ”

With that, Soft climbed over the deck railing and jumped straight to the surface.

Volo hesitated for only two seconds, and then jumped down.

Jumping into the sea, Soft and Volo swam desperately into the distance, and in the process, the ammunition compartment of the battleship Gift's full main gun was detonated by fire.

In a series of explosions, the battleship Gift, with all its main guns, was blown in two from the middle position and quickly sank to the surface.

Some of the officers and soldiers of the bear clan who jumped into the sea to escape were all brought into the sea by the whirlpool generated when the battleship sank with all the main guns of the gift, and finally the more than 1,500 officers and soldiers of the bear clan who gave the battleship with all the main guns, only Soft and Volo survived.

Wearing life jackets, Soft and Volo, who were floating in the sea, couldn't help but show gloom when they saw that after the Gift battleship disappeared, there were no other living comrades on the sea.

"Volo, remember, we only jumped into the sea to escape after receiving the order to abandon the ship!"

"Don't worry, Sergeant Soft, I know what to say."

"Alas-this time, our Black Bear Empire's Royal Navy, and even the entire Nine Nations Navy Combined Fleet, have lost miserably!"

"I don't care who wins or loses now, I just want to go home as soon as possible."

In the bridge of the flagship of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, the Huarong all-main gun battleship, Wang Kedong, the captain of the Huarong, said helplessly to Liu Ergou, the commander of the Eighth Fleet: "Commander, you must abandon the ship."

The Huarong was tilted too badly and could not be saved. ”

Huarong belongs to the United States Iowa class full main gun battleship, full load displacement of 55,710 tons, is the Han and Tang Empire Royal Navy, the largest tonnage of warships, but also one of the strongest combat effectiveness of several capital ships, the Han and Tang Empire Royal Navy Eighth Fleet is equipped with a total of 48 American Iowa class full main gun battleships.

Originally, Liu Ergou, the commander of the Eighth Fleet, was very satisfied with the performance of the Eighth Fleet in this decisive battle at sea.

Up to now, the Eighth Fleet has only one American Iowa-class battleship with full main guns, two French Richelieu-class battleships with all main guns, and two German Bismarck-class battleships.

However, he never expected that although the carrier-based aircraft of the combined fleet of the nine navies were almost lost, more than 1,000 bombers of the coalition forces suddenly flew from the direction of the port of Zatvina.

The battleship Huarong was even more unlucky to eat nine aerial bombs in a row, and also caused several boilers to be killed, and was about to become the first capital ship of the Eighth Fleet to be sunk in this decisive battle at sea.

"Order all to abandon the ship! Let's go to China Resources! Liu Ergou ordered a little depressed.
