Chapter 260: The Surprise Soldier Who Suddenly Appeared

The Datang Royal Navy has been preparing in Huifeng Port for so long, where will the combined fleet of the three navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi easily leave, just after the sixth wave of attack aircraft of the Datang Royal Air Force left, in the southeast direction of the combined fleet of the three navies, an unusually large fleet appeared.

And this huge fleet that appeared was composed of the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, the Seventh Fleet, the Fourth Fleet, and the two teams of the Sixth Fleet of the Tang Royal Navy, and the capital ships alone had 199 super dreadnought battleships, 188 battle cruisers, and 106 dreadnought battleships.

Seeing the main force of the Tang Royal Navy in the distance, the three commanders of the combined fleet of the three navies, looked at each other, and their faces were not very good-looking.

The commander of the Royal Navy of Yingluopa, Petru, said to the other two in a deep voice: "The capital ships of our three navies combined, in the six waves of air raids by the Datang Air Force, nearly 100 capital ships have been sunk, and many of the surviving capital ships have been seriously damaged, and the fighters of the Datang Air Force are likely to launch a seventh wave of air raids, what do you think the combined fleet of our three navies should do?" ”

The commander of the Royal Navy of Sharad, Denis, said categorically: "If we just escape, some capital ships whose speed is seriously affected will definitely not escape the fate of being captured by the Datang Navy, and in this way, the losses of the combined fleet of our three navies will increase a lot, rather than this, it is better to fight with the Datang Navy, even if the combined fleet of our three navies has been bombed and sunk by the Datang Air Force Nearly 100 capital ships, in terms of overall strength, the combined fleet of our three navies is still no worse than the Datang Navy gathered in Huifeng Port!" ”

Dennis was very unwilling at this time, counting this battle with the Tang Navy, Dennis was already the fourth time that he led the Salad Navy to fight against the naval fleet under Su Yi, did he have to taste the bitterness of defeat again?

Commander of the Noomi Royal Navy, Porfi, hesitated for a moment and said: "Our Noomi Royal Navy is not afraid to fight with the Datang Navy, but what about those fighters of the Datang Air Force?" If the Datang Air Force takes the opportunity to continuously launch waves of air raids when the combined fleet of our three navies fights with the Datang Navy, the combined fleet of our three navies will have no hope of victory. ”

Although Porfi was not willing to withdraw like this, he knew that according to the current situation, the combined fleet of the three navies was indeed not suitable to continue to fight a decisive battle with the main force of the Datang Navy.

The commander of the Royal British Navy, Petru, hesitated for a moment and said: "Now it's not that the combined fleet of our three navies can withdraw if they want to, let some armored cruisers and light cruisers first drag the seriously injured capital ships to retreat, and the capital ships that can continue to fight are pressed behind, we can only retreat while fighting, what do you think?" ”

Janis and Polfi looked at each other, and they couldn't think of a better way, so they both nodded.

In the bridge of the Bavaria-class super dreadnought battleship Yongxiang, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire, Zhang Qihui, deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, put down the binoculars, turned his head and said to Yuan Fan, the commander of the First Fleet: "Order all teams to rush forward with full horsepower, try to entangle the main force of the combined fleet of the three navies, and create opportunities for the Royal Air Force to continue bombing, and today the Royal Air Force is the protagonist!" ”

The First Fleet of the Tang Royal Navy consists of four capital ships, the first fleet consists of twenty-eight Japanese Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships and seventeen British Hood-class battlecruisers, the second team consists of sixteen Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships and seventeen British Hood-class battlecruisers, the third team consists of fourteen Nelson-class super dreadnought battleships and eighteen Dingyuan-class battlecruisers, and the fourth team consists of nineteen Bavaria-class super dreadnought battleships and eighteen Dingyuan-class battlecruisers.

The Second Fleet of the Tang Royal Navy consists of three capital ships, the first team consists of thirty-six Zhenyuan-class super dreadnought battleships and ten Kong-class battlecruisers, the second team consists of twenty Queen Elizabeth-class super dreadnought battleships and ten Kong-class battlecruisers, and the third team consists of eighteen revenge-class super dreadnought battleships and ten Kong-class battlecruisers.

Yuan Fan, commander of the First Fleet, said loudly: "Deputy commander-in-chief, rest assured, the combined fleet of the three navies will not be able to run this time!" ”

After Zhang Qihui's order was issued, several fast-sailing capital ship squadrons of the Datang Royal Navy quickly rushed towards the retreating combined fleet of the three navies, the twenty-eight Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships and seventeen Hood-class battlecruisers of the First Fleet under the jurisdiction of the First Fleet of the Datang Royal Navy, as well as the sixteen Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships and seventeen British Hood-class battlecruisers of the Second Fleet under the First Fleet of the Datang Royal Navy. Almost simultaneously, a salvo of main guns was fired at a group of super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers in the rear of the combined fleet of the three navies.

Immediately after that, those super dreadnought battleships and battle cruisers behind the combined fleet of the three navies also launched a counterattack with their main guns, and the rumbling cannons suddenly sounded on the sea.

And just when the capital ships of the two sides exchanged fire with each other, hundreds of fighters of the Datang Royal Air Force flew from the direction of Huifeng Port, and the seventh wave of air raids by the Datang Royal Air Force on the combined fleets of the three navies was immediately launched.

In the face of the joint attack of the Datang Royal Air Force and the Datang Royal Navy, the navies of Yingluoba, Sharad and Noomi showed great tenacity, and more than 300 submarines of the three navies even attacked the pursuing Datang Royal Navy from under the sea, although it did not cause much damage to several main fleets of the Datang Royal Navy, but it slowed down the pursuit speed of several main fleets of the Datang Royal Navy.

On the evening of 12 September, after the 14th wave of attack planes of the Datang Royal Air Force withdrew from the skies above the combined fleet of the three navies, the three commanders of Petru, Dennis, and Porfi breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at this time, there was no trace of relief on the faces of the three people, but they were full of bitterness, and the combined fleet of the three navies suffered too much in the waves of air raids by the Datang Royal Air Force.

Because the combined fleet of the three navies has always maintained a retreating posture, coupled with the stubborn resistance of the capital ships and submarine forces left behind, it has always maintained a certain distance from the main force of the pursuing Datang Royal Navy.

This also made the joint fleet of the three navies face the main force of the pursuing Tang Royal Navy, and the losses caused were not large.

However, the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty, which followed it like a shadow, continued to carry out wave after wave of bombing, and almost every wave of air raids could sink many capital ships of the three navies.

From the beginning of the seventh wave of air raids to the end of the fourteenth wave of air raids, more than 100 capital ships of the combined fleets of the three navies were sunk.

At this time, the three commanders of the combined fleet of the three navies had completely lost the idea of continuing the decisive battle with the main force of the Tang Royal Navy, and now the three of them just wanted to bring more of their own warships back home safely.

In the bridge of the Princess Alice, the flagship of the Royal Navy of Yingluopa, the super dreadnought battleship, the commander of the Royal Navy of Yingluopa, Petru, said gloomily: "It's finally going to get dark, and if it is bombed by the Datang Air Force like this, our combined fleet of the three navies will be blown up." ”

Princess Alice is still relatively lucky today, in the next eight waves of bombing, Princess Alice was only hit by an 800 kg aerial bomb, and still did not cause too serious injuries, at this moment Princess Alice's five-seat twin 343 mm main gun, is still intact, Princess Alice's speed, has not been affected in any way.

Noomi Royal Navy Commander Porfi said with a wry smile: "Let's hurry up and take advantage of the night to get out of battle with the Datang Navy as soon as possible, and leave Huifeng Port as far as possible, I don't want to see those bombers of the Datang Air Force again!" ”

Hearing the words of the other two commanders, Denis of the Royal Navy of Sharad also said decisively: "The navies of our three countries have gathered a total of 580 capital ships this time, and now there are about 200 capital ships that have been sunk by the Datang Air Force, and they can only retreat first. ”

As soon as Janis's words fell, an Angloba naval officer in the bridge of the Princess Alice ran to the side of the Royal Anglopa Navy Commander Petru with a telegram in his hand, "Commander, in front of the retreat of our three navies, another huge fleet suddenly appeared, and this fleet is also under the banner of the Datang Navy!" ”

The words of this Yingluoba naval officer immediately made the faces of Petru, Dennis, and Porfi change greatly, and Petru couldn't help but exclaim: "Where did this fleet of the Tang Navy come from?" ”

It turned out that the Datang Navy fleet that suddenly appeared was the temporary fleet of the Datang Royal Navy, which had just been established.

The ten super dreadnought battleships, twenty-four battle cruisers and one hundred and forty-four destroyers of the provisional fleet of the Datang Royal Navy were all just purchased by Su Yi from the system mall, and according to the order of Zhang Qihui, deputy commander-in-chief of the Datang Royal Navy, the temporary fleet left Huifeng Port one step ahead and ambushed into the depths of the ocean, waiting to cut off the retreat of the combined fleet of the three navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi.

With the help of the Tang Royal Air Force, Zhang Qihui, deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, also had the certainty of victory, so he arranged the temporary fleet to expand the results of the battle, and now this strange soldier has really worked.

In fact, even if the combined fleet of the three navies suffered great losses at this time, with the strength of the provisional fleet, it would not be possible to block the retreat of the combined fleet of the three navies, but if the speed of the retreat of the combined fleet of the three navies was slightly blocked, the temporary fleet could still do it.

Due to the obstruction of the temporary fleet, the main fleets of the Tang Royal Navy, which were pursuing behind, and the combined fleets of the three navies quickly narrowed the distance between them, and the battle on the sea suddenly became fierce again.

"Boom-boom-boom-" A Noomi Navy's Tengyun-class super dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of more than 40,000 tons was hit by multiple large-caliber shells in a row, and an ammunition compartment with 406 mm shells was detonated, and then after a violent explosion, the Tengyun-class super dreadnought battleship was blown into two pieces and quickly sank to the sea.

Commander Porfi of the Noomi Royal Navy, who witnessed the Tengyun-class super dreadnought battleship being blown in two, couldn't help but say to the other two commanders: "We can't continue to fight like this, we must choose to break through, otherwise our entire combined fleet will be dumped by the Datang Navy!" ”

It was now more than eight o'clock in the evening of 12 September, just over two hours after the appearance of the provisional fleet of the Tang Royal Navy, and in just over two hours, the losses of the combined fleets of the British Navy, Sharad, and Noomi had increased a lot.

The commander of the Royal Navy of Yingluoba, Petru, let out a long sigh and said: "It is true that we can no longer continue to entangle with the Datang Navy, and now we can only leave some warships behind to cover the retreat of the main force of our combined fleet as soon as possible." ”

"What about those seriously wounded super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers?" Royal Navy Commander Denis of Shalad couldn't help but ask.

Petru sighed again, "If you can escape one by one, you can only let those seriously injured capital ships ask for more blessings!" ”

In the middle of the night of September 12, in the palace of Merseca, the capital of the British Empire, the Emperor of the British Empire, Penelope, had not slept, and he anxiously waited for the news of the combined naval fleet of the British Empire, Sharad, and Noomi.

At two o'clock in the morning of September 13, August, the prime minister of the British Empire, came to Emperor Penelope with a gloomy face with a telegram, and Emperor Penelope saw Prime Minister Auguste looking like a mourner, and his heart suddenly tightened, "Prime Minister, did you lose the battle?" ”

Prime Minister August hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, not only did you lose the battle, but you lost very badly. ”

Emperor Penelope snatched the telegram from Prime Minister Auguste's hand, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, "I didn't expect that our combined naval fleet of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi would fall into the trap of the Tang Empire, it turned out that the Datang Air Force already had a bomber with very good performance, and could even carry out dive bombing, and the initiative in this war seemed to have fallen into the hands of the Tang Empire." ”

After a pause, Emperor Penelope asked in a deep voice, "What are the specific losses of our Royal Navy Yingluoba?" ”

Prime Minister August said bitterly: "General Petru is leading the remnants of the combined fleet of the three navies to retreat, and the loss data of our Royal Navy of Yingluoba, Admiral Petru has not yet been counted." ”
