After quickly crushing the defense line in the southern border area of the Ice Lion Country, the attacking forces of the Great Qin Yueyang Front Army continued to advance towards the hinterland of the three southern states of the Ice Lion Country.

Although many of the Army units of the Ice Lion Country that retreated from the southern border defense line stubbornly held on to various towns in the three states in accordance with the orders of the Ice Lion Cabinet, and even the orcs of all races in these towns joined the battle to resist the Great Qin Yueyang Front, but the towns of the three states still fell one after another under the onslaught of the Great Qin Yueyang Front.

As of the end of May of the year 2539 of the Divine Calendar, the three states of the Ice Lion Country near the Great Qin State, almost more than 90% of the area has fallen into the hands of the Great Qin Yueyang Front, and at this time, the Army of the Great Qin Yueyang Front has entered the territory of the Ice Lion Country, and the total strength has exceeded five million.

After launching an attack on the southern region of the Ice Lion Country, Su Yi ordered a large number of backbones to be drawn from the twelve temporary armies, plus the millions of human soldiers of the Ice Lion Country who rebelled, as well as more than two million reserve officers and soldiers of the Yueyang Front, and then formed six new temporary armies, each new temporary army still has six temporary divisions and twelve supplementary regiments, and the six newly formed temporary armies are equivalent to increasing the total strength of the Yueyang Front Army under Su Yi by nearly four million. This also allowed Su Yi to devote more troops to the southern region of the Ice Lion Country.

Lisakov Oblast belongs to one of the three states of the Ice Lion State near the Great Qin State, under the attack of the Yueyang Front, Lisakov Oblast and even the capital Sanna City fell into the hands of the Yueyang Front, but the eastern coastal area of Lisakov Oblast, due to the existence of the Ice Lion Navy, is still in the hands of the Ice Lion for the time being.

More than 80 kilometers east of the port of Mangers in the Lisakov region, a huge fleet is cruising, including a large aircraft carrier, four super dreadnought battleships, three battle cruisers, five dreadnought battleships, six heavy cruisers, twenty light cruisers, thirty destroyers, and dozens of auxiliary ships, all of which belong to the first aircraft carrier group of the Ice Lion Navy.

The aircraft carrier Magic, the flagship of the First Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy, has a full load displacement of about 46,000 tons and has 132 carrier-based aircraft, including 66 fighters, 60 bombers and 6 reconnaissance aircraft.

At about nine o'clock in the morning on May 29, 2539, in the bridge of the aircraft carrier Magic, the captain of the Magic, Nasiye, frowned and said to Drava, the commander of the First Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy: "Commander, according to the information obtained by the intelligence department, the Daqin Air Force has built many field airfields in some places near the coast of Lisakov Oblast, and stationed a large number of fighters and bombers of the Daqin Air Force, and these fighters and bombers are very threatening to our first aircraft carrier group. The Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation was almost wiped out under the attack of the Great Qin Air Force. ”

The commander of the first aircraft carrier group, Delava, sighed and said: "It is precisely because of this that I gathered all the warships of our first aircraft carrier group together, and have been cruising in the waters close to the port of Mangers to prevent the attack of the Daqin Air Force, after all, our Ice Lion Air Force has more than ninety fighters deployed in the port of Mangers, if the Daqin Air Force attacks our first aircraft carrier group, the fighters of the more than ninety air forces can still help some." ”

Nassiye, the captain of the Magic, immediately said: "Commander, in fact, with the current situation in Lisakov Oblast, it is no longer meaningful for our first aircraft carrier group to stay on the coast of Lisakov Oblast, it is better to go north as soon as possible and merge with the second aircraft carrier group and the fourth aircraft carrier group, the second aircraft carrier group has the aircraft carrier Castle, and the fourth aircraft carrier group has the aircraft carrier Brave, I feel that the three aircraft carriers can unite in order to resist the possible attack of the Daqin Air Force." ”

The Castle aircraft carrier of the second aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, which is the same type as the Magic aircraft carrier, also has 132 carrier-based aircraft, and the Brave aircraft carrier of the fourth aircraft carrier group is a medium-sized aircraft carrier, with a full load displacement of about 28,000 tons and 76 carrier-based aircraft.

Originally, the aircraft carrier Brave suffered some minor injuries under the attack of the Independent Division of the Great Qin Air Force, but now the Brave aircraft carrier has been repaired in a shipyard in the Ice Lion Country.

The commander of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Formation, Drava, said with a wry smile: "I also reported this proposal to Marshal Mochka earlier, but the cabinet is unwilling to give up the coastal areas of Lisakov Oblast in vain, and at the same time believes that the strength of our 1st Aircraft Carrier Group is very strong, and it should not be afraid of the attack of the Daqin Air Force." ”

The captain of the Magic, Naciye, frowned and said: "The strength of our first aircraft carrier formation is indeed very strong, but there is only one aircraft carrier, and in the face of hundreds, or even thousands, of fighters from the Great Qin Air Force, our first aircraft carrier formation can only take passive defense, and if we don't do it, we will suffer a big loss." ”

The commander of the first aircraft carrier group, Drava, said in a deep voice: "In every city along the coast of Lisakov Oblast, there are large radar stations, once it is discovered that the Daqin Air Force has dispatched a large number of fighters and has an attempt to attack our first aircraft carrier group, our first aircraft carrier group will retreat to the north, and try not to entangle too much with the Daqin Air Force." ”

As soon as Delaware's words fell, a major of the Ice Lion Nation Navy ran to Delaware and Nasieh's side in a panic, "Commander, captain, the radar has found that a large number of planes are approaching our first aircraft carrier formation in the east!" ”

The words of the Lieutenant Commander of the Ice Lion Nation Navy immediately made the commander of the first aircraft carrier group, Delava, and the captain of the Magic, Naciye, show an incredible look.

To the east is the sea that stretches as far as the eye can see, and if the Daqin Air Force wants to attack the first aircraft carrier formation, the attack aircraft group of the Daqin Air Force should fly from the coastal direction of Lisakov Oblast in the west, and where did these planes appear now?

"Could it be the commander of the carrier-based aircraft of the navy of which country, what should we do now?" asked Naciye, the captain of the Magic, urgently.

"No matter which country these planes belong to, it is certain that the first aircraft carrier formation of our Ice Lion Navy's first aircraft carrier group is friend or foe, immediately order all the fighters of the Magic to take off, and let the six reconnaissance planes also take off immediately, go to the east to search for possible aircraft carriers, and let all warships prepare for air defense operations!" The commander of the first aircraft carrier group, Drava, said with a solemn face.

At this time, there was also a fleet cruising on the sea about one hundred and fifty kilometers east of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, but the scale of this fleet was much worse than that of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, all of which added up to only eleven warships and a few auxiliary ships, and this small fleet was the independent fleet of the Yueyang Front that had just been established.

The eleven warships of the Yueyang Front's Independent Fleet, including a super dreadnought battleship, a light cruiser and a destroyer captured in the Fourth Fleet of the Ice Lion Navy, have all been repaired by the Minggang Shipyard, and the Star Super Dreadnought battleship has just joined the sequence of the Independent Fleet on May 25.

The other eight warships are all simple aircraft carriers converted from the Minggang Shipyard, and four of them have a full load displacement of more than 20,000 tons, and the remaining four simple aircraft carriers have a full load displacement of more than 10,000 tons.

These eight improvised aircraft carriers are carrying dozens of carrier-based aircraft, totaling more than five hundred, including two hundred and fifty-six Bamboo Dragonfly fighters, one hundred and forty-eight Black Butterfly bombers, one hundred and forty-eight Moth torpedo bombers and sixteen Ladybug reconnaissance aircraft, all of which are from the world of the Tang Empire.

In the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen, Ding Haifeng, the commander of the independent fleet, said to Liu Bin, the captain of the Xingchen, with some excitement: "After today, our independent fleet will definitely be known to the world!" ”

After the Super Dreadnought was incorporated into the Independent Fleet, the name was still the Star.

Liu Bin, the captain of the Xingchen, couldn't help but say with emotion: "I don't know if the Xingchen has a chance to compete with the four super dreadnought battleships of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, we haven't seen it yet, and the scene of the four triple 45 times caliber 406 mm main guns on the Xingchen is fired!" ”

Ding Haifeng, commander of the independent fleet, immediately shook his head and said: "The Xingchen has just joined our independent fleet, it is not easy for the officers and soldiers to let the Xingchen go to sea with eight aircraft carriers, and the current Xingchen does not have any combat effectiveness, this attack on the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, mainly relying on the carrier-based aircraft of the eight aircraft carriers, as well as the independent air force division belonging to our Yueyang Front." ”

Originally, Su Yi was going to let the Independent Division of the Air Force clean up the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, which had not left the coast of Lisakov Oblast, but Ding Haifeng, the commander of the independent fleet, took the initiative to ask Su Yi for help, hoping to cooperate with the independent division of the Air Force to attack the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy.

Considering that the Minggang Shipyard had already transformed eight improvised aircraft carriers for the Independent Fleet, Su Yi finally decided that the Independent Fleet and the Independent Air Force Division would work together to try to damage the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy's Navy as much as possible.

Just as the first wave of attack planes of the Independent Fleet was about to fly over the First Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy, more than 300 Xiuniao fighters and more than 300 Goshawk dive bombers of the Independent Air Force Division were also flying towards the sea area where the First Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy's First Aircraft Carrier Formation was located.

The first wave of attack aircraft of the Separate Fleet consisted of a hundred Bamboo Dragonfly fighters, seventy-four Black Butterfly bombers and seventy-four Moth torpedo bombers.

When the first wave of attack aircraft of the Independent Fleet launched an attack on the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, all sixty-six fighters on the USS Magic had already taken to the air.

However, these 66 fighters of the Ice Lion Navy's navy were no match for the Bamboo Dragonfly fighters of the Independent Fleet in air combat, and they could not talk about air interception of the Black Butterfly bombers and Moth Torpedo bombers, and the warships of the First Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy's Navy could only rely on air defense weapons to resist the attacks of the Black Butterfly bombers and Moth Torpedo bombers.

"Boom-boom-" A battlecruiser with a full load displacement of more than 35,000 tons was hit by four 800-kilogram aerial bombs and two 533-mm torpedoes in a short period of time, and then in a violent explosion, it was blown in two and quickly sank to the surface of the sea.

"It's over, the Dawn is gone!" The captain of the Magic, Naciye, shouted in horror that the Dawn was the battlecruiser that had just been blown in two.

The commander of the 1st Aircraft Carrier Formation, Drava, gritted his teeth and asked: "When will the Air Force's more than ninety fighters in Port Mangers arrive?"

Captain Naciye of the Magic hesitated for a moment and said: "Our first aircraft carrier formation is about eighty kilometers away from Mangers Port, and the more than ninety fighters of the Air Force in Mangers Port should be coming soon!" ”

At this time, a lieutenant colonel of the Ice Lion Country Navy ran over, "Commander, captain, the radar has found that there are also a large number of planes approaching our first aircraft carrier formation in the west, and these planes are not those fighters of our Ice Lion Air Force stationed in the port of Mangers!" ”

The eyes of Drava and Nasiye suddenly showed deep fear, and a sense of bad luck rose in their hearts at the same time.

What made all the officers and men of the First Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy's despair was that not long after the first wave of attack aircraft of the Independent Fleet completed the first round of strikes, hundreds of fighters from the Independent Division of the Daqin Air Force flew over again and launched a second round of attacks on the First Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy.

After the first attack of the first wave of attack aircraft of the independent fleet, the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy had sunk one battle cruiser, one dreadnought battleship, two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and five destroyers, and the sixty-six fighters raised from the USS Magic aircraft carrier were also almost lost in the air battle with many Bamboo Dragonfly fighters.

The only thing that made Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Country, somewhat relieved, was that in the short interval between the two rounds of attacks by the enemy attack aircraft group, all sixty bombers on the aircraft carrier Magic had successfully lifted into the air, and had already flown towards the sea area to the east, trying to find the location of the aircraft carrier formation of the Great Qin Navy with the help of the three surviving reconnaissance planes and seven fighters, and launch an attack on the aircraft carrier formation of the Great Qin Navy.

In the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen, Liu Bin, the captain of the Xingchen, reported to Ding Haifeng, the commander of the independent fleet, in a deep voice: "The radar on the Xingchen shows that dozens of carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier Magic of the Ice Lion Navy are flying in the direction of our independent fleet, whether to let the second wave of attack aircraft intercept it?"

Ding Haifeng, the commander of the independent fleet, said indifferently: "Isn't it that there are fifty-six bamboo dragonfly fighters that have been guarding the sky above our independent fleet, just let these fifty-six bamboo dragonfly fighters intercept them, and the attack plan of the second wave of attack aircraft groups remains unchanged!" ”
