Chapter 363: The Great War is Coming

On the morning of March 15, 2540, the combined fleet of the twenty-four navies of the Orc Alliance arrived at the sea about three hundred kilometers east of the port of Mangers.

Inside the bridge of the Super Dreadnought Battleship Violet of the Red Tiger Nation Navy, Marshal Long Cote frowned and asked Admiral Delva of the Ice Lion Country: "Admiral Delaware, I don't know about the intelligence system of your Ice Lion Country, do you know about the withdrawal of the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy from the port of Mangas?" The many reconnaissance planes sent to the port of Mangers did not find a single warship of the Daqin Navy in the waters near the port of Mangers! ”

Admiral Delva of the Ice Lion Country shook his head and said: "The intelligence department of our Ice Lion Country can know the situation of the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy, or because this main fleet of the Great Qin Navy entered the port of Mangers many days ago for replenishment, and then the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy left the port of the Port of Mangers. ”

Marshal Longcott of the Red Tiger Country frowned a little tighter, "But at present, in the waters near Port Mangers, there is no trace of this Great Qin Navy's main fleet, so where is this Great Qin Navy's main fleet at this time?" ”

Marshal Fairford of the Blood Wolf Country then said in a deep voice: "According to the previous intelligence, this main fleet of the Great Qin Navy has a large aircraft carrier and thirty improvised aircraft carriers, and the number of carrier-based aircraft is at least more than 1,500, which can be said to be a huge threat to our twenty-four national naval combined fleet, if we can't find out the specific location of this main fleet of the Great Qin Navy and destroy it, then this main fleet of the Great Qin Navy is equivalent to a sword hanging over the head of our combined fleet, It could give our Combined Fleet a fatal blow at any moment, especially at the critical moment of attacking the port of Mangers! ”

Admiral Withertham of the Eastern Bear Kingdom immediately said: "Since this main fleet of the Great Qin Navy has come to Mangers Harbor, it must be to prevent our combined fleet from capturing Mangers Harbor, so this Great Qin Navy Combined Fleet should not be too far away from Mangers Harbor, we can send more reconnaissance planes to expand the search range, and we should be able to find out the specific location of this Great Qin Navy's main fleet." ”

Marshal of the Red Tiger Navy, Long Kete, nodded and said: "Now it can only be like this, immediately dispatch more carrier-based reconnaissance planes, expand the search range, and be sure to find out the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy, and before that, our twenty-four national naval combined fleet temporarily stopped advancing, and ordered the naval fleets of all countries to prepare for air defense operations." ”

The combined fleet of the twenty-four navies of the Beast Alliance then sent a large number of carrier-based reconnaissance planes to search the waters around the port of Mangers, hoping to find traces of the independent fleet of the Great Qin Navy.

It's a pity that what the commanders of the twenty-four national naval fleets of the Beast Alliance don't know is that at this time, the independent fleet of the Great Qin Navy has already left the sea near the port of Mangers.

At present, the distance between the independent fleet of the Great Qin Navy and the port of Mangers is about 600 kilometers, and the distance between it and the combined fleet of the navies of the 24 countries of the Beast Alliance is even more than 800 kilometers.

On the night of March 15, in the bridge of the Violet, Marshal Longcott of the Red Tiger Kingdom said in a deep voice to the commanders of the naval fleets of the other twenty-three countries: "After searching for a whole day, there was no trace of the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy within a range of 300 kilometers around the port of Mangers. ”

As soon as Longcott's words fell, Admiral Delaware of the Ice Lion Country spoke: "Although it is confirmed that the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy is not in the waters near the port of Mangers, after our combined fleet launches an attack on the port of Mangers, the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy is likely to launch a surprise attack on our combined fleet when the battle is stalemate, so when attacking the port of Mangers, the aircraft carrier battle group of our combined fleet must leave enough carrier-based fighters to guard against the attack aircraft group of the main fleet of the Great Qin Navy." ”

Marshal Fairford of the Blood Wolf Country nodded and said: "Since our twenty-four national naval combined fleet has arrived here, then we can't delay too much time because of a fleet of the Great Qin Navy, after all, behind our twenty-four national naval fleets, there are more than three million army troops, and every day we delay, we will consume a lot of supplies, I suggest that we continue to approach Mangers Harbor at night, and as soon as it dawns tomorrow, we will dispatch carrier-based aircraft to launch air strikes on the batteries of Mengus Harbor and the surrounding airfields!" ”

Marshal of the Red Tiger Nation Long Cote also nodded slowly, "It is true that we can't delay our battle plan to capture Port Mangers because of a fleet of the Great Qin Navy, so we can implement it according to Marshal Fairford's suggestion, do you have any other opinions?" ”

The commanders of the naval fleets of the various countries nodded their heads in favor of launching an attack on the port of Mangers early tomorrow morning.

At this time, in the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship of the flagship of the independent fleet, Ding Haifeng, the commander of the independent fleet, excitedly said to Liu Bin, the captain of the Thorn: "The commander-in-chief has called back to our independent fleet, agreeing that our independent fleet will stay in this sea area for the time being, waiting for the opportunity to return to the vicinity of Port Mangers, and launch the final fatal blow to the combined fleet of the twenty-four navies of the Orc Alliance!" ”

When Liu Bin, the captain of the Thorn, heard this, he couldn't help but say, "Great! In this way, our independent fleet still has a chance to participate in this decisive battle at sea! ”

Ding Haifeng, commander of the independent fleet, immediately said: "As long as the more than 3,500 spare carrier-based aircraft of our navy deployed at the airfield around Port Mangers, as well as the 25 air divisions of the air force deployed in the port of Mangers, can severely damage the 24-nation naval combined fleet of the Beast Alliance, our independent fleet will have a chance to participate in the war. ”

Liu Bin, the captain of the Thorn, said confidently: "In this naval and air battle, the carrier-based aircraft force of our Daqin Navy and the Daqin Air Force not only have an advantage in the performance and number of aircraft, but also can be said to crush the other party in terms of pilots, and our independent fleet will definitely be able to participate in the war!" ”

Ding Haifeng hesitated for a moment and said: "I hope that our navy's more than 3,500 spare carrier-based aircraft and twenty-five air divisions can give our independent fleet a chance to strike a fatal blow to the combined fleet of the twenty-four navies of the Beast Alliance, but the enemy's warships and transport ships are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, and it is not easy to severely damage the combined fleet of the twenty-four navies of the Beast Alliance." ”

In the early morning of March 16, the warship at the front of the combined fleet of the 24 navies of the Beast Alliance was only about 130 kilometers away from the port of Mangers, and because this combined fleet was so large, the last transport ship was still about 200 kilometers away from the port of Mangers.

At 5:30 in the morning, the first group of carrier-based aircraft attack planes of the Combined Fleet of the Beast Alliance took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier, and twenty minutes later, more than 1,500 carrier-based fighters and more than 1,000 carrier-based bombers of the Combined Fleet of the Beast Alliance had gathered in the sky, and then more than 2,500 carrier-based aircraft flew in the direction of Port Mangers.

However, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft attack aircraft of the Combined Fleet of the Beast Alliance was intercepted by more than 2,000 Xiuniao fighters of the Great Qin Air Force before it could fly over the port of Mangers, and a large-scale air battle broke out immediately.

The pilots who flew these Xiuniao fighters were basically air-force clone soldiers and cyborg soldiers, and at the beginning of the air battle, the Great Qin Air Force had an absolute advantage, and carried out a strangulation of more than 1,500 carrier-based fighters and more than 1,000 carrier-based bombers of the combined fleet of the Beast Alliance.

After only ten minutes, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft attack aircraft of the Beast Alliance Combined Fleet had already lost nearly sixty percent, and the fighters of the Great Qin Air Force had lost even less than forty aircraft.

On the bridge of the Violet, Marshal Longcott, who had already learned about the air battle, said to the commanders of the naval fleets of other countries: "After this trial, there is still a clear gap in strength between the carrier-based aircraft forces of our navies and the Daqin Air Force, and I feel that we can give up taking the initiative to carry out air strikes on the port of Mangers, and the next task of the carrier-based aircraft of our navies is mainly to protect our combined fleet to approach the port of Mangers, and let the naval guns of the capital ships of our combined fleet, It can cover the land force to carry out a beach-rushing landing. ”

In fact, the commanders of the naval fleets of various countries are prepared for the failure of the first wave of carrier-based aircraft attack aircraft groups, after all, the joint fleets of the four navies of the Red Tiger, the Blood Wolf, the Ice Lion, and the East Bear have proved this point with their bloody lessons.

Marshal Fairford of the Blood Wolf Country nodded and said: "Don't look at the fact that our 24-nation naval combined fleet has tens of thousands of carrier-based aircraft, but if we fight hard with the Great Qin Air Force, it must be our combined fleet that suffers, so I agree with Marshal Longcott's suggestion, let the carrier-based aircraft force stop the needless initiative, and the carrier-based aircraft force only needs to protect the airspace above our combined fleet." ”

Admiral Withertham of the Eastern Bear Kingdom followed and said: "The warships of our navies are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons, and even each transport ship is equipped with a lot of anti-aircraft weapons, so that the carrier-based aircraft force can cooperate with the anti-aircraft firepower of our combined fleet and guard the sky above our combined fleet, it should be the most correct choice, so as to consume the strength of the Great Qin Air Force to the greatest extent." ”

After the remnants of the first wave of carrier-based aircraft attack aircraft of the Beast Alliance Combined Fleet fled back in embarrassment, the Beast Alliance Combined Fleet did not send carrier-based aircraft to try to attack the port of Mangers, but let thousands of carrier-based fighters rise into the air, escorting the entire combined fleet and more than 5,000 transport ships behind, and continued to approach the port of Mangers.

Of course, the Great Qin army couldn't watch the combined fleet of the Beast Alliance stay so close to the port of Mangas, so they dispatched a large number of air force fighters and naval carrier-based aircraft from the airfields around the port of Mangers, and began to launch wave after wave of air raids on the combined fleet of the Beast Alliance.

At 11 o'clock at noon on March 16, when the Combined Fleet of the Beast Alliance was about thirty kilometers away from the port of Mangas, the Combined Fleet of the Beast Alliance had already suffered nine waves of air raids, which caused heavy losses to the warships and transports of the Combined Fleet of the Beast Alliance.

In the bridge of the Violet, Marshal Longcott of the Red Tiger Country Navy held a report on the losses of the Red Tiger Navy, and said in a trembling voice: "Finally approaching the port of Mangers Port, the remaining super dreadnought battleships, battle cruisers, dreadnought battleships and former dreadnought battleships of the navies of various countries immediately formed a battle line and prepared to cooperate with the army forces for landing operations!" The port of Mangers must be taken, otherwise the previous sacrifice of our combined fleet will be in vain! ”

In the eight waves of air raids, the Red Tiger Navy has already sunk one large aircraft carrier, one medium aircraft carrier, two small aircraft carriers, 19 escort aircraft carriers, one super dreadnought battleship, one battle cruiser, two dreadnought battleships, five former dreadnought battleships, three heavy cruisers, six armored cruisers, seven light cruisers, nine protective cruisers, and nine destroyers, and many warships have been seriously damaged.

In addition, this time, the Red Tiger Army sent a total of 400,000 troops to fight with the combined fleet of the Beast Alliance, and in order to carry these 400,000 troops and a large number of war materials, the Red Tiger Country sent a total of more than 500 transport ships.

In the eight waves of air raids, nearly 100 transport ships were blown up and sunk, and before the landing operation began, the Red Tiger Army had already lost 60,000 or 70,000 people.

The navies and armies of other countries in the Combined Fleet of the Beast Alliance also suffered considerable losses in the eight waves of air raids.

Marshal Fairford of the Blood Wolf Country said with a wry smile: "Finally survived this difficult journey, these eight waves of air raids by the Great Qin Air Force have brought considerable losses to our combined fleet, and our Blood Wolf Country Navy alone has been blown up and sunk one medium aircraft carrier, two small aircraft carriers, nine escort aircraft carriers, one battle cruiser, two dreadnought battleships, four former dreadnought battleships, three heavy cruisers, five armored cruisers, six light cruisers, seven protective cruisers and six destroyers. ”

Marshal of the Red Tiger Navy, Long Cote, immediately turned the loss report of the Red Tiger Navy's navy in his hand into a paper ball, "No matter how big the losses of our navies are, we must also cooperate with the army forces of various countries to capture the port of Mangers!" ”
