Chapter 339: Capturing the Super Dreadnought Battleship

Lolit, commander of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy, heard the captain of the aircraft carrier Brave Retano say that the warships of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation in other ports on the northeast coast of the Great Qin Kingdom had also been attacked, and he sighed and said: "Actually, our Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation should have abandoned the ports on the northeast coast of the Great Qin Country a long time ago, after all, under the command of Su Yi of the Great Qin Kingdom, there is an air force with very strong combat effectiveness, and now it is not easy for our Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation to withdraw." ”

As soon as Lolit's words fell, another light cruiser exploded violently, and then the hull of this light cruiser was seriously tilted, and soon it rolled over and smashed into the sea, quickly sinking downward.

The captain of the USS Brave, Retano, hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander, can we consider evacuating Ming Harbor?" It's not a way for us to be here all the time, we have to stay here! ”

Lolit sighed and said, "Let's survive this round of attacks from the Great Qin Air Force first!" Now the sky is full of fighters of the Daqin Air Force, and it is impossible for our Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation to escape even if it wants to, and these fighters of the Daqin Air Force will follow our Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation like flies. ”

The Star Super Dreadnought Battleship is a super dreadnought battleship with the strongest comprehensive combat effectiveness in the Ice Lion Navy, and it is also the first ship of the Star-class super dreadnought battleship, and the Ice Lion Navy has built a total of two Star-class super dreadnought battleships.

Although after the advent of aircraft carriers, the importance of super dreadnought battleships in the navy is much less than before, but the power of super dreadnought battleships is still unquestionable.

The Star Super Dreadnought Battleship has a full load displacement of 48,000 tons, equipped with four triple 45 times the caliber of 406 mm main guns, sixteen 45 times the caliber of 150 mm secondary guns, the firepower can be described as very powerful, but unfortunately in the face of many Goshawk dive bombers, the Star Super Dreadnought Battleship These large-caliber naval guns are useless, and can only rely on sixteen twin 40 mm anti-aircraft guns, sixteen quadruple 20 mm anti-aircraft guns and twenty-four anti-aircraft machine guns, to resist the dense goshawk dive bombers in the sky.

In the first wave of attacks by the independent division of the air force of the Yueyang Front, the Xingchen Super Dreadnought battleship was hit by a 533 mm torpedo, three 500-kilogram aerial bombs and three 800-kilogram aerial bombs.

However, in the second wave of attacks by the independent division of the air force of the Yueyang Front, after the Xingchen super dreadnought battleship was hit by three 533-mm torpedoes and several 500-kilogram aerial bombs and 800-kilogram aerial bombs in succession, the Xingchen super dreadnought battleship with serious water ingress had to choose to rush to the shallows on the shore of the port.

If the Star Super Dreadnought did not choose to run aground, according to the injuries of the Star Super Dreadnought, it would probably eventually sink due to serious water ingress.

In the bridge of the USS Brave, Captain Retano reported to the commander of the 4th Aircraft Carrier Formation, Lolit, in a deep voice: "The Star has sent a telegram requesting permission for the officers and men on the Star to evacuate, otherwise the stranded Star will be a live target, and once the ammunition compartment above is detonated, the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

Lolit said with a gloomy face: "Is there any possibility of retreating from the Star?" ”

The captain of the USS Brave, Retano, shook his head and said: "The injuries of the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen are very serious, and it has entered thousands of tons of seawater, it is almost impossible to evacuate, and there are fighters of the Great Qin Air Force, and other warships cannot rescue the Xingchen, commander, in order to prevent the Xingchen from falling into the hands of the Great Qin State in the end, do you want the officers and soldiers on the Xingchen to blow up the Xingchen before evacuating?" ”

The commander of the fourth aircraft carrier formation, Lolit, immediately shook his head and said: "The Star Super Dreadnought Battleship has been built by our Ice Lion Country Navy at a huge cost, and the cost of a Star Super Dreadnought Battleship is about to catch up with the construction of three Brave aircraft carriers, even if the Star is temporarily captured by the Great Qin State, our Ice Lion Country Navy will have the opportunity to get the Star back in the future, but once the Star is completely blown up, our Ice Lion Country Navy will forever lose this super dreadnought battleship with strong comprehensive performance." ”

After a pause, Lolit continued: "Let the officers and men on the Star evacuate immediately, and ...... Raise the white flag above the Star to prevent the fighters of the Great Qin Air Force from continuing to attack the Star. ”

As the flagship of the fourth aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, the aircraft carrier Brave was not bad, and in the two waves of attacks of the independent division of the air force of the Great Qin State, it did not suffer any fatal injuries, and when the second wave of attacks of the independent division of the air force ended, the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier group, Lolit, immediately ordered the aircraft carrier Brave and other remaining warships to retreat to the deep sea east of Minggang Port.

At this time, in addition to the aircraft carrier Brave, the warships of the Ice Lion Navy, which could retreat together, were only a dreadnought battleship, a light cruiser and two destroyers.

Most of the other warships of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy have sunk into the sea, only the stranded Star Super Dreadnought battleship and a destroyer that has lost power after being seriously damaged have reluctantly stayed on the sea outside the port of Minggang.

Because the first wave of attack planes of the independent air force division is located in all military field airfields in Huijiang Province, which are located at some distance from Minggang, when the first wave of attack planes returned to various military field airfields to reload aerial bombs and fuel, and then returned to the sea area where they were engaged to prepare for the third wave of attacks, the second wave of attacks of the independent air force division had ended for almost an hour, and most of the remaining warships of the Ice Lion Navy were gone. Only one super dreadnought battleship and one destroyer of the Ice Lion Nation Navy were left on the sea.

After getting in touch with the 62nd Provisional Division of the Yueyang Front Army, which was preparing to attack the county seat of Minggang County, hundreds of fighters and bombers of the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force began to cooperate with the Provisional 62nd Division and launched an attack on the Army units of the Ice Lion State entrenched in the county seat of Minggang County.

On the evening of March 29, 2539, the county seat of Minggang County, including the port of Minggang, fell into the hands of the 62nd Division of the Yueyang Front.

Li Haichuan, the commander of the provisional 62nd Division, came to the dock of Minggang Port with an excited face, looked at the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen stranded on the sea in the distance and another destroyer that had lost power, and said to the deputy division commander Gao Peng with a smile: "Quick, hurry up and send someone to take over these two warships, don't let the lion people destroy these two warships, there is a super dreadnought battleship of the Ice Lion Navy!" ”

Deputy division commander Gao Peng immediately said: "Lao Li, don't worry, the officers and men of the Ice Lion Navy on these two warships should have withdrawn, I didn't expect that we could capture a super dreadnought battleship of the Ice Lion Navy this time, and it is also the Xingchen-class with the strongest combat effectiveness among the super dreadnought battleships of the Ice Lion Navy, but I don't know if this Xingchen-class super dreadnought battleship can be repaired?" ”

Division Commander Li Haichuan said with a smile: "It's not up to us whether it can be repaired or not, anyway, at least half of the credit for capturing this Xingchen-class super dreadnought battleship and this destroyer fell on the head of our 62nd Division, which is equivalent to picking it up for nothing." ”

Deputy division commander Gao Peng said with a sigh: "I hope that this Xingchen-class super dreadnought battleship can be repaired, and now the coasts of Huijiang Province, Yuan'an Province and Guangyuan Province in the northeast region are about to fall into the hands of our Yueyang Front, and our Yueyang Front Army must form a navy next." ”

Division Commander Li Haichuan nodded and said, "With the commander's vast supernatural powers, I believe that our Yueyang Front Army will soon form a naval fleet." ”

Just when Li Haichuan, commander of the provisional 62nd Division, and Gao Peng, deputy division commander, were happily discussing the formation of a naval fleet, in the bridge of the aircraft carrier Brave, Captain Retano said to the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier group, Lolit, with a bitter face: "Commander, in addition to one aircraft carrier, one dreadnought battleship, one light cruiser, and two destroyers withdrawn from Ming Port, one aircraft carrier, one battle cruiser, one dreadnought battleship, and one heavy cruiser in several other ports along the coast of the northeast region. Of the four light cruisers and seven destroyers, only one dreadnought, one light cruiser, and two destroyers managed to evacuate, and the rest of the warships were largely sunk, with one light cruiser running aground and being abandoned. ”

The commander of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation, Lolit, said gloomily: "In this way, our entire Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation now only has one aircraft carrier, two dreadnought battleships, two light cruisers and four destroyers, how can I explain to the Cabinet and the Admiralty!" ”

The captain of the aircraft carrier Brave, Retano, said in a deep voice: "Commander, the air force under Su Yi of the Great Qin State is too powerful, and it is a great luck that our fourth aircraft carrier group was not completely wiped out this time, before you suggested to the cabinet and the Admiralty that according to the situation in the northeast region of the Great Qin State, it is actually not of much significance for our fourth aircraft carrier group to stay on the coast of the northeast region, but it may be attacked by the Great Qin Air Force, but the cabinet and the Admiralty did not adopt your suggestion, this time our fourth aircraft carrier group was defeated, The responsibility should not be on your shoulders. ”

The commander of the fourth aircraft carrier group, Lolit, shook his head and said: "The responsibility must be borne by me, it is impossible for the cabinet and the Admiralty to be responsible for the fiasco of our fourth aircraft carrier group, let's return to the country first, and then study other things!" ”

With the disastrous defeat of the fourth aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, the coasts of Huijiang Province, Yuan'an Province and Guangyuan Province in the northeast region soon all fell into the hands of the Yueyang Front, so that only half of the six northeastern provinces of Hushan Province and half of Tongyu Province have not been recovered by the Yueyang Front Army, and in the five provinces of the northwest region, only half of Ganjiang Province and half of Lankang Province are still under the control of the Ice Lion Army.

Su Yi was still very happy to be able to capture a super dreadnought battleship, a light cruiser and a destroyer, after all, the height and width of the stargate were limited, and Su Yi had no way to get the warships of the two worlds, the Tang Empire and the Han Kingdom, to the world of the Great Qin Kingdom, so Su Yi wanted to have a naval fleet in the world of the Great Qin Kingdom, so he could only rely on himself.

On the morning of April 6, 2539 in the Divine Calendar, at the City Defense Headquarters of Yueyang City, Sun Guodong, deputy commander of the Yueyang Front, reported to Su Yi: "Commander, the super dreadnought battleship that captured the Ice Lion Navy's Star has been towed into a 50,000-ton dock in the Minggang Shipyard by several tugboats. The four triple 406 mm main guns were also basically undamaged, only a few 150 mm secondary guns, some anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns needed to be replaced, and some parts of the Star's armor needed to be repaired. ”

Su Yi's eyes lit up, "So the Star Super Dreadnought Battleship can be repaired?" What about the technical capabilities of the Minggang shipyard? Can the Star Super Dreadnought be completely repaired? ”

Sun Guodong nodded and said: "The Xingchen Super Dreadnought Battleship can indeed be repaired, and the commander can rest assured, the Minggang Shipyard is the second largest shipyard in our Great Qin Kingdom, and it has built the first dreadnought battleship in our Great Qin Navy, and there is no problem at all in repairing the Star Super Dreadnought Battleship." ”

Su Yi showed a slight smile and said, "After the Super Dreadnought Battleship Xingchen is repaired, it is time for our Yueyang Front Army to form a naval fleet. ”

Sun Guodong said: "Commander, this time we also captured a light cruiser and a destroyer of the Ice Lion Navy, and both warships can be repaired in the shipyard, and we also captured a number of torpedo boats and small gunboats in several ports, these torpedo boats and small gunboats originally belonged to our Great Qin Navy. ”

Su Yi pondered for a while and said: "Although the combat effectiveness of torpedo boats and small gunboats is very weak, but they are also warships, then first use these torpedo boats and small gunboats as the basis to form a naval fleet subordinate to our Yueyang Front, and wait for the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen and a captured light cruiser and a destroyer to be repaired, and then all of them will be transferred to this naval fleet." ”

Sun Guodong nodded and said: "Among our Yueyang Front Army, there are many officers and men of the former Great Qin Navy, using this batch of torpedo boats and small gunboats, we can immediately form a small naval fleet, and at the same time, we can also send a large number of new recruits to join this naval fleet to prepare for future expansion." ”
