There were five provinces in the northwest of the Great Qin Kingdom, namely Ganjiang Province, Lankang Province, Longxi Province, Tiansu Province and Fu'an Province, and the northeastern region of the Great Qin State included a total of six provinces, namely Jinping Province, Huijiang Province, Yuan'an Province, Hushan Province, Tongyu Province and Guangyuan Province.

From March 5, 2539, when the Yueyang Front launched a counteroffensive against the northwest and northeast regions at the same time, by the end of March 2539, the Yueyang Front had captured Longxi Province, Tiansu Province and Fu'an Province in the northwest region, as well as most of Ganjiang Province and most of Lankang Province.

The remaining half of Ganjiang Province and the small half of Lankang Province are close to the southern part of the Ice Lion Country.

Under the fierce offensive of the Yueyang Front, the Army units of the Ice Lion Kingdom stationed in Yongkang Province and Qiannan Province in the southwest region of the Great Qin State have been cut off from the other armies of the Ice Lion Kingdom by the Yueyang Front.

In the northeast, the Yueyang Front captured almost most of Jinping, Huijiang, Yuan'an, and Guangyuan provinces, as well as most of Hushan Province and most of Tongyu Province.

The remaining small half of Hushan Province and the small half of Tongyu Province also border the southern part of the Ice Lion Country, and some cities near the coast of Huijiang Province, Yuan'an Province and Guangyuan Province have not yet been recovered by the Yueyang Front due to the presence of the Ice Lion Navy.

Early in the morning of 29 March, outside the county seat of Minggang County, Huijiang Province, Li Haichuan, commander of the 62nd Division of the 11th Army of the Yueyang Front Army, put down the binoculars in his hand, turned his head to Gao Peng, deputy division commander, and said: "When will the Air Force start its operation?" ”

Gao Peng, the deputy division commander, immediately said in a deep voice: "There is news from the air force that at nine o'clock this morning, the main force of the Ice Lion Navy's navy in Minggang Port will be launched on time. ”

The county seat of Minggang County, Huijiang Province, has the largest port in the northeast of the Great Qin Kingdom, and most of the warships of the Ice Lion Navy on the coast of the northeast of the Great Qin Kingdom are gathered in the port of Minggang.

Division Commander Li Haichuan frowned and said, "Boss Gao, do you think the Air Force's attack on the Ice Lion Nation's Navy will be successful?" If the Air Force can't defeat the fleet of the Ice Lion Navy stationed in Minggang, then our 62nd Division will not be able to capture the county seat of Minggang County at all, and the maximum caliber artillery of our 62nd Division is only 155 mm, while the main guns of the Super Dreadnought Battleships, Battle Cruisers and Dreadnought Battleships of the Ice Lion Navy are all more than 300 mm in caliber, and even have more than 400 mm naval guns. ”

Deputy division commander Gao Peng hesitated for a moment and said: "The Air Force should be able to succeed!" Our Yueyang Front does not have a navy, and now if we want to defeat the navy of the Ice Lion Country, we can only rely on the independent air force division that belongs to our Yueyang Front! ”

Li Haichuan, the commander of the provisional 62nd Division, and Gao Peng, the deputy commander of the 62nd Division, had already followed Su Yi when they were fighting in Xinji Town, and with the continuous expansion of the army under Su Yi, both of them have now become division-level officers.

Division Commander Li Haichuan sighed and said: "Since our 62nd Division entered the Northeast Region, it can be said that it has been pushed all the way, but I didn't expect to be stumped by a small county town, according to intelligence, in the county seat of Minggang County, the Ice Lion Army may not even have 10,000 people. ”

Deputy division commander Gao Peng said with a wry smile: "There is no way, the Navy of the Ice Lion Country has gathered a medium-sized aircraft carrier, a small aircraft carrier, a super dreadnought battleship, a battle cruiser, two dreadnought battleships, two heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, ten destroyers and more than a dozen other auxiliary ships in the port of Minggang County. ”

Division Commander Li Haichuan glanced at the blue sky, sighed and said: "I don't know when our Yueyang Front Army will have its own navy, and then only the brothers of the Air Force can clear the obstacles for our 62nd Division." ”

At about 8 o'clock in the morning of 29 March, at a military field airfield in Huijiang Province, Leng Jianlang, commander of the 13th Air Force Regiment of the Independent Division of the Daqin Air Force, said to a large group of pilots: "Brothers, today's task is very arduous, our 13th Air Force Regiment needs to cooperate with the other nine air regiments to attack the naval fleet of the Ice Lion Country in the port of Minggang. Only by letting the navy of the Ice Lion Kingdom know that they are not invincible in the waters of our Great Qin Country, can our Yueyang Front have a chance to recover the entire territory of the six northeastern provinces! ”

The independent air force division now subordinate to the Yueyang Front Army has a very large establishment, with a total of 30 air regiments, and each air regiment has 72 Xiuniao fighters and 36 Goshawk dive bombers in its normal establishment.

Each air regiment has two fighter groups and one bomber group, each with 36 fighters, and three squadrons, each with 12 fighters.

This time, in order to attack the Ice Lion Navy, which was gathered along the coast of the northeast region, the independent air force division of the Yueyang Front Army concentrated 17 air regiments at once, and ten of them were going to attack the Ice Lion Navy's fleet in the port of Minggang.

Today, most of the warships of the Ice Lion Navy's navy along the northeast coast of the Great Qin Kingdom are gathered in the port of Ming Port, and in several other ports along the coast of other northeast regions, the Ice Lion Navy also has a small aircraft carrier, a battle cruiser, a dreadnought battleship, a heavy cruiser, four light cruisers, and seven destroyers.

A group commander of the 13th Air Regiment immediately shouted: "Commander, don't worry! The brothers of our regiment will never drop the chain at a critical moment! ”

The other pilots also echoed it, and they all patted their chests and promised that they must let the navy of the Ice Lion Country know the power of the Great Qin Air Force.

Regiment Leader Leng Jian then waved his hand, "Brothers! Don't say more, all board, let's go teach the Navy of the Ice Lion Country a hard lesson! ”

In a lounge of the medium-sized aircraft carrier of the Ice Lion Navy, Loret, the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, was brushing his teeth after getting up, and a sharp knock sounded outside the door of the lounge, "Commander, the radar has detected a large number of planes, which are flying in the direction of Minggang Port!" ”

When Lolit heard this, he hurriedly rinsed his mouth, and came to the bridge of the aircraft carrier Brave, and ordered all the fighters on the Brave and the other small aircraft carrier Protector to rise into the air, and ordered all the warships of the Ice Lion Navy in the port of Minggang to start immediately and sail to the sea area outside the port of Minggang to form an air defense formation.

The Navy of the Ice Lion Kingdom has a total of four aircraft carrier formations, of which the fourth aircraft carrier formation is deployed along the coast of the northeast region of the Great Qin Kingdom, the third aircraft carrier formation is deployed along the coast of the southeast region of the Great Qin Kingdom, and the remaining first aircraft carrier formation and the second aircraft carrier formation remain in the waters of the Ice Lion Kingdom.

The First and Second Aircraft Carrier Formations of the Ice Lion Navy, both have one large aircraft carrier, and the Third Aircraft Carrier Group has two medium-sized aircraft carriers.

As one of the main fleets of the Ice Lion Navy, the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation, in addition to one medium aircraft carrier and two small aircraft carriers, also has one super dreadnought battleship, two battle cruisers, three dreadnought battleships, three heavy cruisers, ten light cruisers, and seventeen destroyers.

The flagship of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy, the Brave medium aircraft carrier, has a full load displacement of about 28,000 tons and has 76 carrier-based aircraft, including 42 fighters, 30 bombers and 4 reconnaissance aircraft.

At this time, the small aircraft carrier Protector, which was in the same harbor as the Brave, had a full load displacement of 13,000 tons and 44 carrier-based aircraft, including 24 fighters, 18 bombers, and 2 reconnaissance aircraft.

The captain of the aircraft carrier Brave, Retano, said in a deep voice to the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier group, Lolit: "Commander, the radar shows that the fleet of the Daqin Air Force flying to the port of Minggang this time is very large, and there will be hundreds of fighters, but our two aircraft carriers combined only have more than a hundred carrier-based aircraft, including only sixty-six fighters, I am worried about ......."

Before the captain of the USS Brave Retano's words were finished, he was interrupted by the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier group, Lolit, "Our Ice Lion Navy has never had an example of running away without a fight, no matter how strong the enemy is, our fourth aircraft carrier group must also touch the enemy!" ”

In this attack on the main force of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy, the independent air force division of the Yueyang Front, the first wave of attacks dispatched all the fighters of the five air regiments, including nearly 348 Xiuniao fighters and 166 goshawk dive bombers.

Although each air regiment has 72 Xiuniao fighters and 36 Goshawk dive bombers under the establishment of independent air force divisions, in the fierce battles in which the army units captured the northwest and northeast regions in the past, each air regiment of the independent air force division lost some fighters, and the fighters lost by some air regiments have not yet been replenished.

After the attack aircraft group of the five air regiments came to the sky above the port of Minggang, they immediately launched an attack on the warships of the Ice Lion Navy.

At this time, all sixty-six fighters of the aircraft carrier Brave and the aircraft carrier Protector of the Ice Lion Navy, but they were soon besieged by many Xiuniao fighters.

The other part of the Xiuniao fighters cooperated with 166 goshawk dive bombers to bomb the warships of the Ice Lion Navy.

On the sea, two aircraft carriers, a super dreadnought, a battlecruiser, two dreadnought, and two heavy cruisers of the Ice Lion Navy's navy became the focus of the attack of one hundred and sixty-six goshawk dive bombers.

The Goshawk dive bomber is the German Junkers-88 bomber, which can carry 2.5 tons of ammunition, this time in order to attack the large warships of the Ice Lion Navy, most of the Goshawk dive bombers carry 500 kg and 800 kg aerial bombs, and even some Goshawk dive bombers have been simply modified and carry a 533 mm torpedo.

Soon after the attack of one hundred and sixty-six goshawk dive bombers began, a heavy cruiser with a full load displacement of about 10,000 tons was sunk by a 533-mm torpedo.

In the bridge of the aircraft carrier Brave, the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier formation, Lolit, saw that he had just started the battle and was sunk a heavy cruiser, and his face couldn't help but change, and he said to the captain of the Brave next to him, Retano: "Order all warships to maintain an air defense formation, once there is a gap in the formation, the gap must be plugged immediately to ensure the safety of the two aircraft carriers in the center of the formation!" ”

The anti-aircraft fire on the warships of the Ice Lion Navy is very strong, and from time to time there are Show Bird fighters or goshawk dive bombers in the sky that are shot down by the anti-aircraft fire of the warships, but as time goes by, the losses of the fourth aircraft carrier group of the Ice Lion Navy are also getting bigger and bigger.

"Boom-boom-" The Dreadnought battleship of the Ice Lion Navy, with a full load displacement of 23,000 tons, finally could not stand it anymore after withstanding two 533-mm torpedoes, four 500-kilogram aerial bombs, and three 800-kilogram aerial bombs, and was blown into two pieces in a violent explosion and quickly disappeared into the sea.

Immediately afterwards, the battle cruiser Honor of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy was also detonated by an 800-kilogram aerial bomb, and the power of the explosion also blew this battle cruiser with a full load displacement of more than 40,000 tons in two, and quickly sank to the surface of the sea.

When the first wave of attacks by the independent division of the Air Force subordinate to the Yueyang Front was over, the main force of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy's Navy, which was in Minggang Harbor, had sunk one battle cruiser, one dreadnought battleship, one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, and two destroyers.

However, what made the officers and men of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy's Navy's a little desperate was that not long after the first wave of attack planes left, the second wave of attack planes of the Great Qin Air Force flew over the remnants of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Ice Lion Navy.

After the second wave of attacks began, the small aircraft carrier Protector of the Ice Lion Navy was sunk, and the eighteen bombers and two reconnaissance planes that had not risen above the Protector aircraft carrier also sank into the sea along with the Protector.

Seeing that the USS Protector aircraft carrier was sunk, the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier group, Lolit, said with a lonely expression: "It seems that it is impossible for our fourth aircraft carrier formation to help the army and hold the coast in the northeast region of the Great Qin Kingdom." ”

The captain of the aircraft carrier Brave, Retano, immediately said with a wry smile: "Now not only the warships of our Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation here in Minggang have been attacked by the Great Qin Air Force, but the warships of our Fourth Aircraft Carrier Formation in other ports along the northeast coast of the Great Qin Country have also been attacked at the same time, and the situation is not good. ”
