Chapter 366: The Independent Fleet That Appeared
At six o'clock in the morning of March 18, 2540, a large fleet was sailing in the blue sea, although the scale of this fleet was huge, with a large number of warships and transports, but many warships and transports looked a little miserable, and this fleet was the combined fleet of the twenty-four navies of the Orc Alliance that returned in the port of Mangers.
In the bridge of the Violet Super Dreadnought Battleship of the Red Tiger Navy, the Marshal of the Red Tiger Navy, Longcott, said with a wry smile to the captain of the Violet, Robka: "The loss is too great, I don't know how to explain to the cabinet after returning home, this time our Red Tiger Navy has lost all the old capital, alasββ"
At this time, the commanders of the naval fleets of other countries left the Violet and returned to their own warships.
There are even several countries' navies, after escaping the pursuit of the Great Qin Air Force, they have broken away from the group of the Beast Alliance Combined Fleet and sailed in the direction of their own country's mainland.
Luo Boka, the captain of the Violet Super Dreadnought Battleship, hesitated for a moment and said: "Marshal, the strength of the Great Qin Air Force is too strong, and tens of thousands of carrier-based aircraft and so many air defense weapons in our combined fleet cannot withstand the attack of the Great Qin Air Force. β
Longket shook his head and said: "Our Red Tiger Navy's losses are so great this time, someone must stand up and take responsibility, I, the commander, are the most suitable person, maybe this is the last time I command the fleet to fight, and after returning home, I should leave the navy." β
During this attack on the port of Mangers, the Red Tiger Navy sank a total of two large aircraft carriers, two medium aircraft carriers, four small aircraft carriers, forty-eight escort carriers, four super dreadnought battleships, three battle cruisers, seven dreadnought battleships, sixteen pre-dreadnought battleships, eleven heavy cruisers, twenty armored cruisers, twenty-two light cruisers, twenty-six protective cruisers, and twenty-seven destroyers.
The warships lost by the Red Tiger Navy's navy were basically sunk by the Daqin Air Force fighters and naval carrier-based aircraft during the day before yesterday, and in addition, some warships of the Red Tiger Navy's navy were also sunk yesterday morning and during the retreat.
Although the Beast Alliance's 24-nation naval combined fleet chose to retreat after withstanding the first wave of air raids yesterday morning, the Great Qin Air Force and the reserve carrier-based aircraft of the Great Qin Navy did not easily let the combined fleet of the Beast Alliance leave, and in the process of retreating, they also launched several waves of air raids, blowing up and sinking many warships and transport ships.
It was not until the combined fleet of the twenty-four navies of the Beast Alliance escaped from the attack range of the Great Qin Air Force fighters and the reserve carrier-based aircraft of the Great Qin Navy that the air raid was over.
The warships of the Red Tiger Navy, which have now joined the combined fleet of the Beast Alliance, are only two large aircraft carriers, eighteen escort carriers, four super dreadnought battleships, one battle cruiser, seven dreadnought battleships, twenty-four former dreadnought battleships, nine heavy cruisers, ten armored cruisers, eighteen light cruisers, fourteen protective cruisers, thirty-three destroyers, and forty submarines.
It can be said that more than half of the warships of the Red Tiger Navy were lost in this great battle of attacking the port of Mangers, and only the submarine forces of the Red Tiger Navy, because they have not participated in the war and have never been close to the battlefield, can not be damaged, and the warships of other types of the Red Tiger Navy have suffered very heavy losses, especially the aircraft carriers of the Red Tiger Navy.
When Longcott was still lamenting that he might have to leave the Red Tiger Navy, a lieutenant colonel in the bridge of the Violet hurriedly ran over, "Marshal, captain, Marshal Fairford of the Blood Wolf Country Navy sent an urgent telegram, the fleet of the Blood Wolf Country Navy has just discovered from the radar that a large number of enemy planes are approaching, Marshal Fairford hopes that the navies of other countries of the United Fleet can support the Navy fleet of the Blood Wolf Country as soon as possible." β
The Navy of the Blood Wolf Country is one of the naval fleets of several countries that have separated from the combined fleet of the Beast Alliance, and it is also the only naval fleet that has separated from the combined fleet of the Beast Alliance among the eight naval powers, namely the Red Tiger, the Blood Wolf, the Ice Lion, the Eastern Bear, the Black Wolf, the Southern Bear, the Spirit Ox, and the War Tiger.
Loncott snatched the telegram from the lieutenant colonel's hand at once, and after reading it quickly, he immediately ordered: "Immediately inform the commanders of other countries of the news of the attack on the naval fleet of the Blood Wolf Country, and at the same time order the entire combined fleet to turn around and support the Navy of the Blood Wolf Country!" β
The captain of the Violet, Robka, hurriedly asked, "Marshal, is it necessary to leave some warships to protect the transport ships of various countries?" It is best not to support the Navy of the Blood Wolf Country, and it is better not to bring the many transport ships carrying the army forces of various countries, after all, the speed of the transport ships is a little slow. β
"Roboka, just do as you say, we must hurry up, we are now at least nearly six hundred kilometers away from the fleet of the Navy of the Blood Wolf Country, I hope the Navy fleet of the Blood Wolf Country can survive to us to rush over."
"Boom-boom-" After a violent explosion, an escort aircraft carrier of the Blood Wolf Navy, with a full load displacement of 13,000 tons, was blown in two by a 533-mm torpedo and quickly sank to the surface of the sea.
In the bridge of the Super Dreadnought Battleship of the Blood Wolf Country Navy, Field Marshal Fairford gritted his teeth and asked Resno, the captain of the Hills, "How long will it take for the naval fleets of the Red Tiger, Ice Lion, and East Bear to come over?" β
Captain Resno said bitterly: "Marshal, we still have a distance of at least more than 500 kilometers from the combined fleet, and in a short period of time, the naval fleets of the Red Tiger, Ice Lion, and Eastern Bear countries will not be able to catch up, and then we can only rely on our Blood Wolf Nation Navy itself." β
Originally, the Navy of the Blood Wolf Country suffered very heavy losses in the process of attacking the port of Mangers, but on the way to withdraw to the country, it was attacked by hundreds of carrier-based aircraft of the Great Qin Navy, which made the Navy of the Blood Wolf Country even worse.
In just ten minutes, more than half of the remaining 300-odd carrier-based aircraft of the Blood Wolf Nation Navy were lost, and many more warships were sunk.
And it is obvious that these carrier-based aircraft come from the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy that disappeared, which means that the air attack that this Blood Wolf Naval Fleet will suffer will never be the only one wave.
Marshal Fairford of the Blood Wolf Country asked in a deep voice, "Has the radar discovered the location of the Great Qin Navy's fleet?" β
The captain of the Hill, Resno, shook his head and said, "It may be that the distance is too far, and our radar has not found any clues of the Great Qin Naval Fleet. β
Fairford was silent for a moment, and then spoke: "Let our remaining warships and transports keep the air defense formation as much as possible, we must hold out until reinforcements arrive!" β
At this time, the Blood Wolf Nation Navy still had one large aircraft carrier, one medium aircraft carrier, ten escort carriers, two super dreadnought battleships, one battle cruiser, six dreadnought battleships, twelve former dreadnought battleships, seven heavy cruisers, thirteen armored cruisers, thirteen light cruisers, twenty protective cruisers, twenty-two destroyers, and twenty-four submarines.
In addition, at this time, the Blood Wolf Country also sent 200,000 army troops and more than 260 transport ships, along with the Blood Wolf Country Navy to join the combined fleet of the Beast Alliance, and now there are only more than 100 of the more than 260 transport ships in the Blood Wolf Country, and there are about 90,000 army troops and about 90,000 people.
The captain of the Hill, Resno, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Marshal, can we still make it to reinforcements?" β
Marshal Fairford of the Blood Wolf Country opened his mouth, but finally did not return to this question, changed the topic and said: "Let the fleet advance to the east, according to the direction of the enemy's carrier-based aircraft, the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy should be in the east, if we can find the location of the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy, maybe our Blood Wolf Country Navy still has a chance." β
Just over one hundred and eighty kilometers east of the Bloody Wolf Nation's naval fleet, all the warships of the Great Qin Navy's Independent Fleet, including one large aircraft carrier, thirty improvised aircraft carriers, four super dreadnought battleships, two battle cruisers, two dreadnought battleships, four heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, and eight destroyers, were all gathered here at this time.
In the bridge of the Super Dreadnought battleship, the flagship of the Independent Fleet, Liu Bin, the captain of the Thorn, reported to Ding Haifeng, the commander of the Independent Fleet, with an excited face: "The first wave of attack aircraft is in a fierce battle, and it has been confirmed that more than a dozen warships of the Navy of the Blood Wolf Country have been sunk, including a small aircraft carrier, three escort aircraft carriers and a dreadnought battleship. β
Ding Haifeng nodded with satisfaction: "Our independent fleet has finally not become a spectator this time, how long will it take for the second wave of attack aircraft to arrive in the sky above the naval fleet of the Blood Wolf Country?" β
Liu Bin, the captain of the Thorn, immediately said: "It will take about eight minutes to reach the sky above the Bloody Wolf Nation's naval fleet, and that is when the first wave of attack aircraft will return from the attack mission. β
Ding Haifeng immediately said: "Let the fleet keep a distance from the Navy fleet of the Blood Wolf Country, and at the same time prepare to welcome the return of the first wave of attack aircraft, and let the aircraft carriers replenish fuel, torpedoes and aerial bombs for the first wave of carrier-based aircraft as soon as possible, so as to carry out the third wave of attacks, and we will use carrier-based aircraft to solve the fleet of the Blood Wolf Country Navy!" β
After receiving the news that the combined fleet of the 24 navies of the Beast Alliance had given up attacking the port of Mangas, the independent fleet immediately set off for the north, hoping to attack the 24 naval combined fleet of the Beast Alliance again.
Unexpectedly, the independent fleet would soon encounter the Blood Wolf Country naval fleet that was preparing to return to the mainland of his country, so Ding Haifeng, the commander of the independent fleet, made a quick decision and issued an attack order on the Blood Wolf Country naval fleet.
It is worth mentioning here that some of the radars equipped by the independent fleet come from the world of the Great Han Kingdom, and in terms of detection range, they are much more than those equipped by the Navy of the Blood Wolf Country and even the navies of other countries of the Beast Alliance.
The independent fleet has a large aircraft carrier and 30 improvised aircraft carriers, which together have more than 1,700 carrier-based aircraft, and Ding Haifeng divided these more than 1,700 carrier-based aircraft into two waves of attack aircraft groups, which will take turns to carry out air strikes against the naval fleet of the Blood Wolf Country.
The resistance of the naval fleet of the Blood Wolf Country can be said to be very tenacious, but after the naval fleet of the Blood Wolf Country lost all the carrier-based aircraft, the resistance of the naval fleet of the Blood Wolf Country is much more tragic, relying only on the air defense weapons on the warships and transport ships, it is difficult to resist the wave after wave of bombing by the carrier-based aircraft of the Daqin Air Force, and the warships and transport ships of the Blood Wolf Navy are sent to the bottom of the sea by the carrier-based aircraft of the Daqin Navy.
When the time came to the evening of March 18, the sea where the Bloody Wolf Nation's naval fleet was located was already full of corpses and hull fragments, and there were few warships and transports left that could still float on the sea.
On a lifeboat, Field Marshal Fairford of the Blood Wolf Country said to the captain of the Super Dreadnought Battleship Hill with a lonely face: "Our Blood Wolf Country Navy is finished, after today, our Blood Wolf Country Navy will be completely ceded to other countries, maybe in the next ten years, our Blood Wolf Country Navy will not be able to slow down." β
As the flagship of the naval fleet of the Blood Wolf Country, the Super Dreadnought battleship Hill did not hold on after withstanding seven 500-kilogram aerial bombs and four torpedoes with a caliber of 533 mm, and finally slowly disappeared into the sea.
At this time, the Blood Wolf Country Navy had not yet been sunk by the bombing, only one dreadnought battleship, two former dreadnought battleships, an armored cruiser, three light cruisers, one protective cruiser, four destroyers and twenty-four submarines remained, except for the twenty-four Blood Wolf Navy submarines that had not appeared under the sea all the time, the other surviving warships were also injured.
In addition, more than 100 transport ships carrying the army units of the Blood Wolf Country were all sunk by the carrier-based aircraft of the Great Qin Navy, and only some of the surviving officers and soldiers of the Blood Wolf Country Army were lucky enough to get on the lifeboat, but there were originally more than 90,000 people left in the Army of the Blood Wolf Country, and now there are less than 20,000 people still alive.
You must know that the Blood Wolf Country has taken out most of its family wealth this time, and has joined the joint fleet of the twenty-four navies of the Beast Alliance, and the Navy of the Blood Wolf Country has left only four super dreadnought battleships, three battle cruisers, nine dreadnought battleships, twelve former dreadnought battleships, sixteen heavy cruisers and dozens of small and medium-sized warships in various ports on the mainland.
Captain Resno said gloomily: "Marshal, the warship can be rebuilt after sinking, but our Blood Wolf Country Navy has lost 70,000 or 80,000 officers and soldiers this time, which has hurt the foundation of our Blood Wolf Country Navy!" β
Fairford sighed and said: "It's useless to think so much now, let's study how to bring the surviving tens of thousands of officers and soldiers back home!" β
