Although Su Yi was very angry at the Orenza army's massacre of prisoners of war and civilians of the Purple Moon Empire, Su Yi also knew that it was not the time to completely clean up the Orenza Empire, and the most important thing for the Su family army now was to defeat the Sharad army in the Cangyu Empire and the army of the Cangyu Empire, so as to gain a broader development space for the Su family's army.

The 9th Infantry Regiment and the 24th Infantry Regiment of the Salad Royal Army trapped in Dingxin City, Hebei Province, Cangyu Empire, as well as the 8th Infantry Corps, 12th Infantry Regiment and 25th Infantry Corps of the Salad Royal Army surrounded in Anzhou City, Lunan Province, Cangyu Empire, showed great tenacity in the face of the attack of the Su Army, and the Su Army stormed these two cities for more than 20 days, but still did not completely capture these two cities.

The main reason why the Su army has not conquered Dingxin City and Anzhou City for so long is that there are a large number of civilians in these two cities, which makes the heavy artillery units of the Su army unable to play, which makes the battle of encircling and annihilating the five infantry regiments of the Salad Royal Army the most brutal street battle.

As of July 10, 3012 in the Tang calendar, the Shalad Empire has assembled eleven infantry regiments and four independent infantry divisions in the territory of the Cangyu Empire, including five infantry regiments and two independent infantry divisions, and is trying to rescue the ninth infantry regiment and the twenty-fourth infantry regiment of the Shalad Royal Army in Dingxincheng, and the other six infantry regiments and two independent infantry divisions. It is attacking in the direction of Anzhou City, hoping to rescue the 8th Infantry Regiment, the 12th Infantry Regiment and the 25th Infantry Regiment of the Salad Royal Army in Anzhou City.

On the morning of July 11, 3012 in the Tang calendar, in a conference room in the Governor's Mansion of Kangshui City, the capital of Luochuan Province of the Purple Moon Empire, Su Yi was discussing the war in the Cangyu Empire with dozens of generals of the Su Army, when suddenly Du Zhongtie, the captain of the guard, pushed open the door of the conference room without even knocking on the door, hurriedly walked to Su Yi's side, and handed a telegram to Su Yi.

Su Yi took the telegram and looked at it, his face changed suddenly, and then he handed the telegram in his hand to He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the army unit of the Su family army next to him, "The port of Xingang City has been attacked by submarines, and the independent fleet has suffered a big loss!" ”

The time rewinded to five o'clock in the afternoon of July 10, and a fleet of the Royal Navy of Sharad came to the sea near the port of Newport City of the Liuyun Empire.

The fleet of the Royal Salad Navy consists of three converted submarine carriers, eighteen Blackfish-class submarines, twelve destroyers, forty torpedo boats, and six ordinary transports.

The three converted submarine motherships are all converted from old medium armored cruisers, and in addition to retaining the most basic self-defense guns, they are more functional to provide various supplies for Blackfish-class submarines.

In the bridge of the submarine mothership of the Beaver, the senior officer of the Admiralty of the Sharad Empire, Olekachi, said in a deep voice to the captain of the Beaver, Fejkkel: "There are only about thirty-five nautical miles left from the port of Newport, let the eighteen submarines dive immediately and advance to the port of Newport." ”

The Admiralty of the Sharad Empire, in addition to the Minister of the Navy and the Vice Minister of the Navy, there are five senior naval staff, whose status is only under the Minister of the Navy and the Vice Minister of the Navy, this time the Royal Navy of Sharad in order to save face, specially sent an attack fleet dominated by eighteen Blackfish-class submarines to attack the independent fleet in the port of Newport City, and the Admiralty Senior Staff Olekachi was personally named by the Minister of the Navy Gavril and served as the commander of this attack fleet.

The captain of the Beaver, Feticel, hesitated for a moment and said: "Count Olekachi, the underwater speed of the Blackfish-class submarine is only 4 knots, is it better to get closer to the port of Newport City, and then let the eighteen submarines dive, otherwise it will take about nine hours for the eighteen submarines to get from here to the port of Newport City, so that even if the eighteen submarines attack successfully, we will not be able to launch a second wave of attacks." ”

Commander Olekach shook his head and said: "You can't get any closer, otherwise it is likely to be discovered by the patrol ships of the independent fleet, as for the second wave of attacks, I don't think it will be of much use, after all, the Su army has already deployed at least 100 large-caliber coastal defense guns in the port of Newport City, and the twelve destroyers and forty torpedo boats of our attack fleet want to rush into the port of Newport City to launch a torpedo attack, which is no different from sending them to death." ”

In order to defend Xingang City, the stronghold of the Liuyun Empire, Su Yi took advantage of the mountains around the port of Xingang City to build sixteen forts, and arranged a total of twenty-four 305 mm coastal defense guns, forty-eight 234 mm shore defense guns and sixty-four 155 mm shore defense guns, which can not only attack the enemy on the sea, but also most of them can attack the enemy from the land direction.

Fejkkel, the captain of the Beaver, frowned slightly, "Count Olekachi, can you rebuild those battleships of the Independent Fleet in the harbor of New Port City with only eighteen submarines?" ”

Commander Olekach shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know what kind of results eighteen submarines can achieve, but submarines are a new type of warship that can change the mode of naval engagement, so let's see how powerful this new warship is!" ”

The captain of the Beaver, Fejkir, then asked, "Count Olekachi, for the first appearance of the submarine, why don't we choose the port of Kangshan in the Celestial Star Empire?" The number of battleships of the Independent Fleet in the port of Kangshan is much larger than that of the port of Newport City. ”

Commander Olekach smiled slightly and said: "This time our mission to attack the fleet is only to sink some battleships of the independent fleet, so that we can give an explanation to His Majesty the Emperor and the subjects of the empire, and it is better to win beautifully, so we chose the target as the port of Newport City." ”

In fact, Olekachi tried his best to choose the independent fleet in the port of Newport City as the target of the eighteen Blackfish-class submarines, and there was another layer of deep meaning.

You must know that the former Sharad Imperial Admiralty Denis has long been removed from the position of Admiralty by Emperor Herris, and this position has not yet been held, Olekachi, as one of the five senior staff of the Admiralty, is definitely the most favorable contender for the position of Admiralty Admiralty.

Olekach hoped for a beautiful victory with the attack fleet this time, in which case he would most likely take over the position of Admiralty.

In order to win the beauty, Olekachi of course had to choose a relatively easy target, and the port of Newport City, in any respect, was easier to attack than the port of Kangshan.

After the order of Commander Olekach was issued, the eighteen Blackfish-class submarines of the Royal Navy of Sharad immediately began to dive, and after diving to about twenty meters, the eighteen Blackfish-class submarines began to sail in the direction of Newport City Harbor at a speed of 4 knots.
