Chapter 180: Enemy Planes and Tanks

In Huifeng Port, which has been tightly sealed, after Su Yi extracted all the hundreds of warships in the system goods warehouse, he bought the 160,000 navy-type primary combat biochemical people that were not purchased in the previous three months and this month in the system mall, as well as the 2,000 navy-type intermediate combat biochemical people that can be purchased this year, and embodied them on the port wharf of Huifeng Port.

However, even if there are 162,000 naval officers and sailors, they still can't fully equip all these hundreds of warships, but fortunately, there are still many reserve officers and soldiers trained by the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire here in Huifeng Port, which is enough to fill the other vacancies, and there is no need to even transfer biochemical officers and soldiers from the three marine brigades stationed in Huifeng Port.

According to Su Yi's meaning, the fifty-one super dreadnought battleships, thirty-four battle cruisers, twenty-two dreadnought battleships, and sixteen former dreadnought battleships will be classified as which fleet of the royal navies of the Tang Dynasty and Ziyue will be assigned according to their models.

For example, the four Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships, four Nelson-class super dreadnought battleships, eleven revenge-class super dreadnought battleships, four Queen Elizabeth-class super dreadnought battleships, four Bavaria-class super dreadnought battleships, eight Kong-class battlecruisers and eight prestige-class battlecruisers purchased from the system mall will belong to the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, because there are already warships of the above types in the sequence of the first fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

In this way, the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire will have sixty-one super dreadnought battleships, including sixteen Queen Elizabeth-class, fourteen Bavaria-class, fifteen revenge-class, eight Colorado-class and eight Nelson-class, in addition to sixteen Kong-class battlecruisers and sixteen prestige-class battlecruisers, which has even exceeded the number of super-dreadnought-class battlecruisers and battlecruisers in the current service of the Yingluoba Navy, which was originally known as the world's first.

The 48 large armored cruisers, 48 light cruisers, and 144 destroyers purchased from the system mall this time will join the armored cruiser formations, light cruiser formations, and destroyer formations of the royal navies of Datang and Ziyue respectively.

As for the thirty Type VIIC submarines, they will be formed as the submarine forces of the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire.

After extracting all the hundreds of warships in the system goods warehouse, Su Yi did not stay in Huifeng Port for long, and soon rushed to the border area adjacent to the Sharad Empire by armored train, fighters, eight hundred camel fighters, four hundred Ilya Muromets heavy bombers and eighty airships, as well as two thousand air force primary combat biochemical personnel and two hundred air force intermediate combat biochemical people, delivered to the Tang Imperial Air Force, and also appointed a commander-in-chief to the Tang Imperial Air Force.

In the new year, Su Yi bought another all-round senior elite combat biochemical named Xia Xuezhi, and now Su Yi let Xia Xuezhi serve as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire.

Subsequently, Su Yi delivered 1,600 Daimler armored vehicles, 800 Renault FT-17 light tanks and 800 2C heavy tanks in the system goods warehouse to the armored troops of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire, and then returned to Chang'an City by armored train.

However, before Su Yi arrived in Chang'an City, he received the armies of Noomi, Sharad, and Yingluoba to launch a full-scale attack on the western defense line of the Tang Empire, and the armies of the three kingdoms even used a large number of new equipment, including airships, fighters, bombers, and tanks.

Su Yi looked at the telegram in his hand and was a little surprised, he didn't expect that the three countries of Noomi, Sharad, and Yingluoba had already developed fighters and tanks, and the intelligence systems of the Tang Empire and the Purple Moon Empire had not received any news about this.

Su Yi thought about it for a while, and sent a telegram to Xia Xuezhi, the commander-in-chief of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, ordering that the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire must seize air supremacy over the entire battlefield as much as possible, and since the opponent's fighters and bombers have come out, the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire can no longer continue to hide.

At about nine o'clock in the evening of January 18, 3014 in the Tang calendar, in a building in Sareo City, Rudisuk State, in the eastern part of the Sharad Empire, Yemelia, the commander of the Yingluoba Imperial Expeditionary Force, frowned and said to Karp, the commander of the Noomi Imperial Expeditionary Force, and Kirilka, the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Sharad Empire: "I didn't expect that the army of the Tang Empire is equipped with so many air defense weapons, and on this day alone, our Yingluoba Empire Expeditionary Force has lost thirty-five airships, forty-eight fighters and twenty-six bombers. ”

The armies of Noomi, Sharad, and Yingluoba are all equipped with airships capable of dropping aerial bombs, but only the army of Yingluoba has a large number of fighters and bombers, and the armies of Noomi and Sharad only have a small number of reconnaissance planes.

And the tanks that appeared in the armies of Noomi, Sharad, and Yingroba were all from the army of the Angloba Empire.

The land forces of the Anglopa Empire and the Noomi Empire that are currently entering the territory of the Sharad Empire are called expeditionary forces by their respective countries.

Karp, the commander of the Noomi Imperial Expeditionary Force, immediately asked Yemelia, the commander of the British Ropa Imperial Expeditionary Force: "Marquis Yemelia, I don't know how many fighters and bombers your British Expeditionary Force has left, and whether you can continue to fight tomorrow?" Today, in several battlefields in which fighters and bombers participated, considerable results were achieved, while in other battlefields without the participation of fighters and bombers, little progress was basically made. ”

Yemelia, the commander of the Yingroba Empire Expeditionary Force, smiled slightly and said: "Marquis Karp, Marquis Kirilka, you can rest assured, this time our Yingroba Empire's Royal Army Expeditionary Force has brought a total of 600 fighters and 300 bombers, which is enough to maintain absolute air superiority over the Tang Empire's army, and in addition, our Yingroba Empire's domestic aircraft factory is working overtime to manufacture fighters and bombers, and it is expected that more fighters and bombers will arrive at the front line soon." ”

As a matter of fact, the fighters and bombers currently equipped by the Royal Army of the British Ropola Empire were only successfully developed in March last year.

The fighter, named the Stinger, was a single-seat biplane fighter with a maximum flight speed of 120 kilometers per hour, a flight time of 2 hours, and a machine gun.

The bomber, named the Eagle, had a maximum flight speed of 90 kilometers per hour, a endurance of 3 hours, a maximum range of 270 kilometers, was armed with three machine guns and could carry two hundred kilograms of aerial bombs.

At this time, Kirilka, the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Sharad Empire, said: "The fighters and bombers independently developed by our Sharad Empire have also entered the stage of mass production, and their performance should be no worse than the two fighters of Yingluopa, and in three days, the first batch of one hundred fighters and forty bombers will be delivered to the front-line troops of our Royal Salad Army." ”

Kirilka's words made Yemelia, the commander of the Yingroba Imperial Expeditionary Force, frown slightly, he did not expect that the Sharad Empire would also have fighters and bombers so soon, although because the Tang Imperial Army has a large number of air defense weapons, the fighters and bombers of the British Empire Expeditionary Force today have suffered great losses, but it is undeniable that the two new aircraft, fighters and bombers, can play a decisive role in determining victory or defeat on the battlefield.

Even if the Sharad Empire and the Yingluoba Empire are currently allies, Yemelia, as the senior staff member of the Yingrapa Empire's War Department, still has a strong defensive psychology against the Sharad Empire, and the Sharad Empire can keep up with the Yingluoba Empire in terms of fighters and bombers so quickly, which makes Yemelia's heart feel a little uncomfortable.

And the commander of the Noomi Empire's expeditionary force, Culp, heard that the Sharad Empire had also begun to manufacture fighters and bombers, and secretly decided in his heart that after the end of this meeting, he would immediately send a telegram to His Majesty the Emperor, asking the Noomi Empire's arsenal to produce reconnaissance planes and produce the Noomi Empire's own fighters and bombers as soon as possible.

The reason why the commanders of the three countries did not mention the tanks of the Anglopa Empire is because in today's battle, the hundreds of light tanks dispatched by the Anglopa Empire basically did not perform.

This kind of light tank of the Yingroba Empire is equipped with a 37 mm gun, and the firepower is okay, but its frontal armor is only 15 mm, and it can't even stop the strafing of the 12.7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire.

Next, Kirillka, the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Sharad Empire, smiled slightly and continued: "Judging from the attacks on various battlefields today, the Tang Imperial Army has indeed deployed enough troops on the border adjacent to our Sharad Empire, and it seems that our three armies have to increase the strength of the attack force, I don't know what the Marquis of Yemelia and the Marquis of Karp think?" ”

Commander Kalp of the Noomi Imperial Expeditionary Force nodded and said: "At present, our Noomi Imperial Royal Army's Expeditionary Force has twenty-five infantry regiments in the eastern region of the Sharad Empire, and there is no problem at all in increasing the strength of the attack force. ”

Yemelia, the commander of the Yingroba Empire's expeditionary force, nodded and said: "I have no opinion, at present, our expeditionary force of the Royal Army of the Yingroba Empire has also gathered fifteen infantry regiments in the eastern region of the Sharad Empire, which can be described as sufficient troops. ”

Kirilka, the commander-in-chief of the front line of the Sharad Empire, immediately said: "Since the Marquis of Yemelia and the Marquis of Karp are not opposed, then starting tomorrow, the armies of our three countries will increase their attacks again, and strive to break through the defense line of the Tang Imperial Army in the border area as soon as possible." ”

Yemelia, commander of the Yingroba Imperial Expeditionary Force, said: "I think it is best to invest more offensive forces on the battlefield that our Yingroba Imperial fighters and bombers can cover, as long as we can break through a few points on the border defense line of the Tang Imperial Army, then we can use these points to quickly advance in depth, and even let the troops of our three armies go around the rear to face the Tang Imperial Army on the border and carry out front and rear flanking attacks." ”

"What the Marquis of Yemelia said makes sense, I agree!"

"Then do as the Marquis of Yemelia says!"
