Chapter 198: Raid on the Military Port

In the middle of the night on May 1, 3014 in the Tang calendar, there was a huge fleet still sailing on the dark sea, and it can be seen from the flags of the warships of this fleet that this fleet belonged to the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

In the bridge of the New Mexico-class super dreadnought battleship Mo Yu, the flagship of the Royal Fleet of the Tang Empire, Ma Jian, the captain of the Mo Yu, reported to Jiang Zhihang, the commander of the Third Fleet: "Commander, we should be able to arrive at the largest military port of the Monia Empire - Azeum Port early tomorrow morning. ”

After defeating the combined fleet of the five navies, the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and the Royal Navy of the Purple Moon Empire participated in the war, and it can be said that they all suffered a lot of losses, in addition to the many battleships that sank, there were many warships that were seriously injured and needed to enter the dock for repairs, so in the next period of time, although the navies of the Tang Dynasty and the Purple Moon controlled the sea dominance, they did not make any big moves.

However, it was not easy to get the right to control the sea, and if we didn't do something, it would be very sorry for the hundreds of thousands of naval officers and men who died in that naval battle.

Under the planning of several high-ranking officials of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, and with the approval of Su Yi, the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire will lead two marine brigades and two field infantry divisions to launch a surprise attack on the port of Azeum in the Monia Empire.

According to the information obtained by the Military Intelligence Bureau of the Tang Empire, the six Champion-class super dreadnought battleships and six Victory-class battlecruisers that are under construction in the Monia Navy are all in the shipyard of Port Azeem, which is close to completion.

Jiang Zhihang, commander of the Third Fleet, said in a deep voice: "Convey my order to the whole fleet, after arriving at Azeum Port tomorrow morning, immediately launch an attack on Azeum Port, so that the two field infantry divisions of the Royal Army can prepare for a beach landing." ”

Ma Jian, the captain of the Moyu, nodded and said, "Yes, Commander!" I'm going to have your orders passed on! ”

Commander Jiang Zhihang suddenly sighed and said: "Although with the strength of our Third Fleet, we are not afraid of the main force of the entire Monia Navy, but in the face of the numerous shore defense guns in Port Azeum, I still have no bottom in my heart. ”

At present, the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire has a total of twenty-four super dreadnought battleships, fourteen battle cruisers, seven heavy cruisers, fourteen large armored cruisers, thirty-two light cruisers and sixty-four destroyers.

Captain Ma Jian hesitated for a moment and said: "Commander, the main task of our Third Fleet this time is to cover the two field infantry divisions of the Royal Army and the two marine brigades of our Navy, seize the shipyard of Port Azem, and seize the super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers that the shipyard is about to be built, but it is best to let a part of the infantry attack the batteries in Port Azem at the same time, if we can capture all the batteries in Port Azem, then the entire Port Azem will be at our disposal." ”

Commander Jiang Zhihang nodded and said: "I can only do this, I hope that the attack on the Azeum Port Fort can be smoother, otherwise our Third Fleet will fight against the shore defense artillery, and the losses will definitely be not small." ”

Then Commander Jiang Zhihang asked: "Does the Military Intelligence Bureau have the latest information sent from it?" It is also not known how many warships the Monia Navy has stationed in Port Azeem? ”

Captain Ma Jian shook his head and said: "The Military Intelligence Bureau has not sent any information about how many Monia Navy warships are stationed in Port Azeum, but even if the main force of the entire Monia Navy is in Port Azeum, our Third Fleet is not afraid at all." ”

The Monia Empire is located in the northern continent, and it did not expect that the navy of the Tang Empire would go far and far to attack the military port of the Monia Empire, and when the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and a large number of transport ships arrived at the port of Azeum, the garrison of the port of Azem was quite lax.

To the surprise of all the officers and soldiers of the Tang Empire, there was a heavy fog in the morning of Azeum Port, and the dense visibility was only a few meters away, and Jiang Zhihang, the commander of the Third Fleet, immediately made a decision and immediately ordered many light cruisers and destroyers of the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, escorting hundreds of transport ships, to quickly approach Azeum Port.

At about 7 o'clock in the morning of 2 May, the originally peaceful port of Azeum was suddenly awakened by the sound of violent explosions and fierce gunfire, and soon after, the piercing sirens resounded over the entire port of Azeem.

Pifanu, the commander of the First Fleet of the Monia Royal Navy, who was sleeping in a hotel in Azeum City, was woken up by the adjutant.

The Monia Royal Navy has a total of three main fleets, and in order to form the Monia Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet, almost most of the warships of these three main fleets have joined the sequence of the expeditionary fleet.

Pifanu was originally a senior staff member of the Admiralty of the Monia Empire, and served as the commander of the expeditionary fleet of the Monia Royal Navy, although the expeditionary fleet suffered heavy losses in the great battle with the navies of the Tang Dynasty and Ziyue, but it did not affect Pifanu's position.

After leading the remnants of the Monia Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet back to the Monia Empire, Pifanu felt very remorseful for the fiasco of the entire Monia Royal Navy Expeditionary Fleet, and after returning home, he sent a telegram to the Emperor of the Monia Empire, preparing to resign from all military positions and take responsibility for the fiasco of the naval battle, but Pifanu's request was rejected by the Emperor, and the Emperor of the Monia Empire also sent a long telegram to comfort Pifanu.

Because the former commander of the First Fleet of the Monia Royal Navy was killed in a naval battle, the emperor of the Monia Empire even asked Pifanu to concurrently serve as the commander of the First Fleet of the Monia Royal Navy, which shows how much the emperor of the Monia Empire trusts and values Pifanu.

Last night, Pifanu attended a drinking party of the nobility, probably because of too much pressure, Pifanu, who rarely drank alcohol, was so drunk at the party that Pifanu's lieutenants and guards had to carry Pifanu to the hotel room and did not return to Port Azeum that night.

Pifanu, who was shaken awake by the adjutant, felt a splitting headache and was still in a trance, but a few words from the adjutant immediately made Pifanu completely sober.

"Commander, no! The navy and army of the Tang Empire raided the port of Azeum! ”

At this time, Pifanu finally heard the explosion from the direction of Port Azeum, Pifanu sat up at once, and said urgently while dressing: "We must return to Port Azeum immediately and organize the First Fleet to counterattack!" ”

When Pifanu hurried to Port Azeum in a car, he found that a large number of Moria Royal Navy and Royal Army troops had broken on the road.

"Stop!" Pifanu shouted to the driver with an unusually ugly face.

When the driver stopped the car, Pifanu opened the door and walked down, followed by an adjutant and a guard in the car.

Pifanu stopped an officer of the Royal Navy of Monia, "What's going on in the harbor and why are so many people fleeing to Azem City?" ”

This officer of the Monia Royal Navy, a gun chief on a Champion-class super dreadnought battleship, obviously knew Pifanu, and he said to Pifanu with a frightened face: "Commander, the army of the Tang Empire has taken advantage of the fog to land in Azeum Port, and the entire Azem Port is in chaos, as if many warships of our First Fleet are also controlled by the army of the Tang Empire. ”

When Pifanu heard this, he excitedly grabbed the collar of the cannon commander, and then shouted angrily, "What did you say? Many warships of our First Fleet were controlled by the troops of the Tang Empire? How is this possible? What are the officers and men on the warship doing! ”

The gunner said with a wry smile: "Commander, because there is no combat mission, only a quarter of the officers and soldiers of most of the warships are left, and the other three-quarters of the officers and soldiers live in the barracks near the port, this is still your order, when the Tang Empire launched an attack, I stayed in the barracks, and when I returned to the port with people, I found that the McGonagall where I was on was already full of soldiers from the Tang Empire." ”

The accommodation environment on the warship is very average, and it can even be said that it is very poor, so when there is no combat mission, the officers and men on the warship are not willing to live on the warship all the time, and Pifanu also took into account that the entire Monia Royal Navy has just suffered a fiasco, so he agreed to the officers and men of the warships of the First Fleet to take turns on rest.

The officers and men of the Royal Navy of Monia, who lived in the barracks near the port, did not have any training tasks, which was equivalent to giving them a vacation.

Pifanu let go of the gunner's collar, then gritted his teeth and said to the adjutant and guards beside him, "Go!" Let's go to Port Azeum! ”

At this time, the gunner suddenly said: "Commander, you'd better not go to Azeum Harbor, when I fled, I found that many of the batteries in Azeum Harbor have been lost, maybe the entire port has now fallen into the hands of the Tang Empire army, and you are going to Azeum Harbor now is tantamount to throwing yourself into a trap!" ”

Pifanu's adjutant immediately persuaded: "Commander, what this cannon chief said is reasonable, since the situation in Port Azeum is irreparable, the most important thing now is to quickly mobilize troops and take back Port Azeum, the shipyard in Port Azem has six Champion-class super dreadnought battleships and six Victory-class battlecruisers that are about to be completed!" ”

When Pifanu heard the adjutant mention the shipyard in Port Azem, his face became even more ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Then let's not go to Port Azem first, let's turn around and go to the corps headquarters of the 19th Infantry Corps outside Azem City, and we must let the 19th Infantry Corps quickly organize its forces and take back Port Azem!" ”

In the bridge of the Mo Yu, the flagship of the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, Jiang Zhihang, the commander of the Third Fleet, was extremely excited, he never expected that the raid on Port Azem would be so smooth.

Under the cover of the fog, it was not until the dense officers and soldiers of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire boarded the dock of Azem Harbor that they were discovered by the Monia Empire soldiers patrolling the dock.

Subsequently, the officers and men of the Royal Army and the Marine Corps of the Tang Empire began to seize many batteries in Azeum Harbor and many Monia Navy warships anchored in the port with lightning speed.

As of 10 a.m. on May 2, the entire port of Azeum had basically fallen under the control of the Tang Empire's troops.

A total of 12 forts were built in the entire Azeum Harbor, with hundreds of large and small shore defense guns, but as a result, these 12 batteries played almost no role, and all of them were captured by the troops of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire.

In the first fleet of the Monia Royal Navy in the port of Azeum, almost all the warships fell intact into the hands of the Tang Empire's army.

You must know that the First Fleet of the Monia Royal Navy has always been the strongest of the three main fleets of the Monia Royal Navy.

Some time ago, the four Champion-class super dreadnought battleships and four Victory-class battlecruisers that had just joined the Monia Royal Navy sequence were all transferred to the First Fleet to make up for the losses of the First Fleet, so that the First Fleet now has eight Champion-class and eight Victory-class.

The other two remaining fleets of the Monia Royal Navy currently have a total of three super dreadnought battleships and two battle cruisers.

Now the eight Champion-class and eight Victory-class ships of the First Fleet of the Monia Royal Navy are all controlled by the officers and men of the Tang Imperial Marine Corps, and the First Fleet of the Monia Royal Navy also has sixteen large armored cruisers, sixteen medium armored cruisers, twenty-four light cruisers, thirty-six destroyers and more than fifty torpedo boats, which are also occupied by the officers and men of the Tang Imperial Marine Corps.

In addition to the First Fleet of the Monia Royal Navy, most of the more than 30 warships of the Monia Royal Navy's Azeum Port Garrison Fleet also fell into the hands of the Tang Imperial Marines.

The First Fleet of the Monia Royal Navy and the garrison fleet of Azeum Harbor, only a few warships, because of the failure of the Marine Corps' ship-grabbing operation, were torpedoed and sunk by the light cruisers and destroyers of the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire.

What made Jiang Zhihang, the commander of the Third Fleet, even more excited, was that the largest shipyard in the Monia Empire had also completely fallen into the hands of the army of the Tang Empire.
