Chapter 261: Brilliant Results
Hearing that the specific losses of the Royal Navy of Yingluoba have not yet been counted, Penelope, the emperor of the Yingluoba Empire, immediately said to Prime Minister Auguste in a deep voice: "Send a telegram to General Petru, and ask him to send back the data on the losses as soon as possible, I will wait here tonight!" β
Prime Minister August nodded bitterly, "Your Majesty, the minister will send a telegram to General Petru immediately, why don't you sleep for a while." β
"At this time, where can I sleep, I am waiting for Petru's telegram here!"
It was not until about 5 o'clock in the morning of September 13 that Petru, commander of the Royal British Navy, sent the specific data of the losses back to Merseca, the capital of the British Ropola Empire.
When Emperor Penelope, who had not slept all night, saw the telegram sent back by Petru with his own eyes, his body couldn't help but shake, and Prime Minister Auguste, who brought Petru's telegram, saw Emperor Penelo's appearance, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you better rest for a while, although our Royal Navy in British Lopa has suffered great losses this time, but at least General Petru has brought out most of the capital ships." β
In a telegram from the commander of the Royal Navy of Yingluopa, Petru, it was said that after breaking through the encirclement and interception of the Datang Navy, the Royal Navy of Yingluoba, which joined the combined fleet of the three navies, counted the total loss of forty-six super dreadnought battleships, fifty-eight battle cruisers, seven dreadnought battleships, twenty-eight large armored cruisers, thirty-three small and medium-sized armored cruisers, fifty light cruisers, sixty-four destroyers, ninety-two submarines, ten minesweepers, eighty-nine torpedo boats, and fifty-six supply ships. In addition, almost all of the surviving capital ships were wounded.
You must know that this time the Royal Navy of British Ropa can be said to have exhausted its main force, sending out one hundred and six super dreadnought battleships, ninety-seven battle cruisers and thirteen dreadnought battleships, and as a result, so many capital ships were lost in the first battle, and Emperor Penelope was distressed when he saw this loss data.
What's more critical is that the losses of the Royal Navy of Yingluoba are so large, but it does not make the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty pay too much, Emperor Penelope gritted his teeth and asked Prime Minister Auguste: "Prime Minister, where do you think our Royal Navy of Yingluoba should go next?" β
Prime Minister August hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, since the air force of the Tang Empire is equipped with dive bombers that can attack warships at sea, the minister suggests that the main force of our Yingluoba Royal Navy should quickly retreat to the coast of our Yingluoba Empire, so as not to fall into the trap of the Tang Air Force again." β
Emperor Penelope nodded slightly, "Immediately send a telegram to General Petru, asking him to bring the remaining main force of our Royal Navy of Yingroba back to China as soon as possible." β
In the bridge of the British Royal Navy's flagship Princess Alice Super Fearless Battleship, the British Royal Navy Commander Petru took the telegram sent to him by the Prime Minister's Office, and said to the commanders of the other two navies' fleets with a wry smile: "The domestic order has been issued, let me lead the remaining fleet of our Royal British Navy to return home immediately, it seems that our combined fleet of the three navies must be disbanded." β
The commander of the Royal Navy of Sharad, Denis, sighed and said: "The losses of our three navies this time are really too great, just now I also received a telegram from China, asking me to quickly lead the remaining fleet of our Royal Navy of Sharad to withdraw to China, the combined fleet of our three navies has lost too much this time." β
The losses of the Royal Navy of Sharad have also been counted, with thirty-seven super dreadnought battleships, forty-one battle cruisers and six dreadnought battleships lost on the capital ships alone.
Porfi, commander of the Noomi Royal Navy, immediately said in a deep voice: "Although I have not yet received the order to withdraw to the country, but since your two navies are going back, then I can only lead the remaining fleets of our Noomi Royal Navy to return to the coast of our Noomi Empire, and the main task of our three navies should no longer be to attack, but to defend the coasts of our three countries." β
In this battle, the Royal Navy of Noomi lost a total of 39 super dreadnought battleships, 39 battle cruisers and 7 dreadnought battleships, and other types of warships also lost a lot.
The commander of the Royal Navy of Yingluopa, Petru, sighed at this time and said: "Last night, in order to break through, I had to let some injured capital ships stay behind and break off, I haven't reported this matter to the country, maybe because of this matter, I don't need to worry about dealing with the Datang Navy and the Datang Air Force in the future, alasββ"
Because the temporary fleet of the Datang Royal Navy suddenly appeared on the retreat path of the combined naval fleets of Yingluoba, Sharad and Noomi, blocking the retreat of the combined fleets of the Angloba, Sharad and Noomi navies, and was caught up by several main fleets of the Datang Royal Navy.
For this reason, the combined fleets of the British navy, Sharad, and Noomi had to give up some seriously damaged capital ships, and ordered these seriously injured capital ships to cooperate with other types of warships left behind, so as to create more time for the main forces of the combined fleets of the three navies to retreat as much as possible, which also caused the capital ships of the combined fleets of the three navies to lose dozens more.
The commander of the Royal Navy of Sharad, Denis, said helplessly: "In the situation last night, we have no choice, if we don't sacrifice those seriously injured capital ships, maybe our entire combined fleet of the three navies will have to take it." β
Noomi Royal Navy Commander Porfi said at this time: "Now that the sky is dawn, although we are far enough away from Huifeng Port, we still have to be careful, it is best to leave the waters of the Tang Empire as soon as possible, I don't want to see the bombers of the Datang Air Force again in my life!" β
The range of the Goshawk dive bombers can reach 2,000 and 30 kilometers, and if the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty is willing, the Goshawk dive bombers taking off from the vicinity of Huifeng Port can still bomb the combined fleets of the three navies five or six hundred kilometers away.
Nearly 400 goshawk dive bombers were shot down by the anti-aircraft fire of the combined fleets of the navies of the three countries, but the remaining 600 goshawk dive bombers were still ready to carry out bombing missions at any time.
It's a pity that after the joint fleet of the three navies broke through last night, the Tang Empire lost its monitoring of the combined fleet of the three navies, and the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty was no longer able to grasp the specific coordinates of the combined fleet of the three navies at sea.
Although the remnants of the combined fleet of the three navies escaped, Su Yi was very satisfied with the outcome of this battle.
In the 14 waves of air raids, in addition to nearly 400 Goshawk dive bombers were shot down, the Royal Air Force also lost more than 300 Xiuniao fighters.
The Royal Navy lost a total of three super dreadnought battleships, four battle cruisers, two dreadnought battleships, two heavy cruisers, one large armored cruiser, two medium armored cruisers, six light cruisers, and twenty-two destroyers.
However, the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty and the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty sank hundreds of warships, of which the capital ships of the Angloba, Sharad, and Noomi navies were more than 240.
Last night, after the main force of the combined fleet of the three navies broke through, the Datang Royal Navy also captured 16 seriously damaged super dreadnought battleships, 15 seriously damaged battle cruisers, and three seriously damaged dreadnought battleships, and also captured nearly 100 armored cruisers, light cruisers, and destroyers left behind by the combined fleets of the three navies.
After being abandoned by the main force of the combined fleet of the three navies, the warships of the three navies that remained behind were only given to the main forces of the combined fleet of the three navies who escaped, and they fought for more than an hour, and the remaining warships of the three navies chose to surrender to the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty.
After the end of the battle at sea, Su Yi immediately received a prompt from the system, congratulating him on capturing eighteen seriously damaged super dreadnought battleships, fifteen seriously damaged battlecruisers, and three seriously damaged dreadnought battleships of the enemy.
The system then rewarded Su Yi with four George V-class super dreadnoughts, four Richelieu-class super dreadnoughts, four North Carolina-class super dreadnoughts, four South Dakota-class super dreadnoughts, fifteen Kong-class battlecruisers, and three King-class dreadnoughts.
Subsequently, Su Yi embodied these super dreadnought battleships, battle cruisers and dreadnought battleships rewarded by the system in the real world, so that the strength of the Tang Royal Navy after a fierce battle with the combined fleet of the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad and Noomi increased, and the Tang Empire also took the initiative in this war with the military alliance of the nine countries.
On the afternoon of September 13, 3016 in the Tang calendar, in a study in the palace of Feni City, the capital of the Salad Empire, the emperor of the Sharad Empire, Herris, said to Prime Minister Shurik in a deep voice: "Our Royal Navy of Sharad only lost 37 super dreadnought battleships, 41 battle cruisers and six dreadnought battleships at once this time, and the losses of the Yingluoba Navy and the Noomi Navy were also not small, and what was even more depressing was that the Tang Empire had dive bombers that could pose a huge threat to warships. In this way, our Sharad Empire, as well as the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire, will lose the right to dominate the sea. β
After a pause, Emperor Herris continued: "Presumably, the Monia Navy, the Rilland Navy, the Herssel Navy, and the Revelli Navy, after learning of the defeat of our combined fleet of the three navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi, will no longer rescue the Gisk Navy and the Orenza Navy trapped in the Gronin Port of the Gisk Empire, and it can be said that our nine-nation military alliance has fallen into disadvantage in this war. β
Prime Minister Shurik sighed and said: "I never thought that the Tang Empire would hide a killer feature, just using some new dive bombers, to blow up the huge combined fleet of the three navies, if the navies of Monia, Ryerland, Hessel, and Revelli do not come to the rescue of the main forces of the Jisk Navy and the Orenza Navy, and open a passage for the four land forces to enter the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire, then the situation of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire will be even worse." β
Although both the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire organized a large army and civilian armies, and also adopted tactics to fight for every inch of territory in the face of the attack of the Tang army, large areas of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire continued to fall.
Emperor Herris hesitated for a moment and asked Prime Minister Shurik: "Prime Minister, do you think that our Royal Army of Sharad, as well as the Yingluoba Army and the Noomi Army, should take the initiative to attack the Tang Empire according to the original plan?" β
At present, the Sharad Empire has gathered 120 fully equipped infantry divisions and nearly 1,000 fighters in the border area with the Tang Empire, and 120 fully equipped infantry divisions are 12 million army units.
In addition, the Anglopa Empire has sent 6 million army troops and 1,200 warplanes to the territory of the Sharad Empire, and the Noomi Empire has also sent 9 million army troops and 800 warplanes to the territory of the Sharad Empire.
Originally, according to the plan of Yingluopa, Sharad, and Noomi, in early October, they were ready to launch an active attack on the western border areas of the Tang Empire, so as to relieve the pressure on the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire.
Prime Minister Shurik said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, since the combined fleet of the three navies has been defeated, then the land war is our only chance to turn the tables, and the minister believes that the attack on the western border area of the Tang Empire cannot be canceled because of the defeat of the combined fleet of the three navies, if the armies of our three countries can launch an offensive, it can also relieve some of the pressure on the Gisk Empire and the Orenza Empire." β
Emperor Herris asked again, "Then the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire will not back down, right?" β
"Your Majesty, rest assured, the Yingroba Empire and the Noomi Empire should both know that if they want to continue this war, it is the best choice to launch an active attack on the western border areas of the Tang Empire, and we should also ask the Yingroba Empire and the Noomi Empire to send more army units and aircraft to our Sharad Empire, and transport more weapons, ammunition and supplies."
Emperor Herris nodded and said: "It is true that the Yingluoba Empire and the Noomi Empire have to put more forces into the war to attack the western border areas of the Tang Empire, and the Tang Empire can become the world's first military power, and its huge army accounts for a large proportion." β
