Chapter 847: The Battle of Chongyang Island is over
The commander-in-chief of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, Dankraka, heard the loss reported by the captain of the missile battleship Yulias, Monsa Bangsu, and his eyes were black for a while, originally the aircraft carrier battle group was fighting, relying on radar detection, hiding the position of the main force of its own aircraft carrier is the first element, and attacking the enemy should use carrier-based aircraft to seek and destroy the opponent's aircraft carrier battle group as an effective combat method, but Dankraka, as the commander-in-chief, underestimated the combat effectiveness of the main fleet of the Merlin Kingdom Navy, After learning that the main fleet of the Merlin Kingdom Navy had appeared on the sea transportation line from the Lombalou Empire to the Great Liang Empire, Dankraka directly ordered all four reinforced aircraft carrier formations to be dispatched and greeted them mightily. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
This is also the intelligence department of the Lombalou Empire, and I don't know that the navy of the Merlin Kingdom has converted out 10 escort aircraft carriers using large transport ships in a short period of time, and Dankraka thinks that the navy of the Merlin Kingdom only has 4 large aircraft carriers and 6 small aircraft carriers, in this way, the number of carrier-based aircraft owned by the 4 reinforced aircraft carrier formations led by Dankraka is enough to be twice that of all the carrier-based aircraft on all aircraft carriers of the Merlin Kingdom Navy, and it can completely use overwhelming air power, Defeat the main fleet of the Merlin Kingdom Navy, but unfortunately this is not the case.
After the outbreak of the naval battle, Dankraka learned that the main fleet of the Merlin Kingdom Navy still had 9 or 10 escort aircraft carriers, so that the process of the naval battle was directly out of Dankraka's control.
It's a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world, otherwise Dankraka will have to buy one no matter how much it costs, if Dankraka is given another chance, he will definitely not lead 4 reinforced aircraft carrier formations so recklessly, easily approach the main fleet of the Merlin Kingdom Navy, and start the most stupid face-to-face duel!
Dankraka eased his depressed mood a little, and then asked Jolfori, the captain of the USS Jewel aircraft carrier beside him, in a deep voice, "Did you send a telegram for help to the air force units stationed in the Great Liang Empire?" Although the current position of our fleet has exceeded the combat radius of the third-generation fighters, the Air Force still has hundreds of fourth-generation fighters in the Great Liang Empire, which can completely support our fleet! Why has it been so long that the support fleet of the Air Force has not come over? ”
The combat radius of the third-generation fighters of various types of the Lombaru Imperial Air Force is generally between 300 kilometers and 400 kilometers, and the sea area where the main fleet of the Merlin Kingdom Navy and the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy are engaged is already more than 600 kilometers away from the coastline of the Daliang Empire, which exceeds the combat radius of the various types of third-generation fighters of the Lombalou Empire.
However, several models of fourth-generation fighters of the Lombalou Imperial Air Force have a combat radius of more than 800 kilometers, and they can fly to the warring sea area and join this sea battle.
Of course, if air tankers are used, the third-generation fighters of various models of the Lombalou Imperial Air Force can also fully support the four reinforced aircraft carrier groups of the Lombalou Imperial Navy.
The captain of the sunken aircraft carrier Jewel, Jolfuri, said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency Commander, before I have time to report to you, our telegram for help to the air force units in the Great Liang Empire has already been sent, and the air force has also replied that it will send a group of fighters as soon as possible to support our four reinforced aircraft carrier formations, but the air force telegram also said that the air force of the Merlin Kingdom has dispatched a large number of fighters and launched large-scale air strikes on the airfields of our air force stationed in the territory of the Great Liang Empire. Perhaps the fighters of the Air Force were all dragged by the Air Force of the Kingdom of Merlin. ”
When the commander-in-chief, Dankraka, heard this, he turned his head and ordered Monsa Bangsu, the captain of the missile battleship Yurias: "Immediately send another telegram to the air force units in the Great Liang Empire, urging them to send support aircraft groups as soon as possible, and tell the air force about the loss of our four reinforced aircraft carrier formations, if there is no support from the air force, not to mention the victory in the naval battle, even our four reinforced aircraft carrier formations are in danger!" ”
At this time, there was another violent explosion on the sea, and a series of explosions occurred on a missile destroyer of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, and the hull was seriously tilted, and it was slowly sinking towards the sea.
The captain of the USS Jewel, Jolfori, hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Excellency, your Excellency, now that our four reinforced aircraft carrier formations have suffered heavy losses, it is better to ......"
Before Jolfory's words were finished, he was interrupted by the commander-in-chief Dankraka, "I know what you mean, Captain Choelfuri, but you must know that even if I use up all the 4 reinforced aircraft carrier formations, at most it will be my improper command, maybe after returning to China, I only need to take off this military uniform, but if I give the order to retreat without authorization, what awaits me will definitely be a trial by a military court." ”
The commander-in-chief Dankraka still has not said a word, the situation of this naval battle, has been reporting to the Lombalou Empire in real time by telegram, if the emperor and the Ministry of Defense allow them to retreat, there is no need for Dankraka to say anything, the order to retreat will be conveyed to Dankraka's hands, but until now, the emperor and the Ministry of Defense have only sent a telegram encouraging them to fight to the end, and there is no mention of retreat.
Immediately, the commander-in-chief, Dankraka, ordered: "Let the ships maintain their anti-aircraft formations and continue to fire anti-ship missiles at the enemy's warships, except for submarines, other ships do not need to continue to approach the enemy." ”
In the palace of Prairie City, the capital of the Lombalou Empire on the southern continent, the emperor of the Lombalou Empire, Elvira, angrily shouted to Prime Minister Prudensl and Minister of War Robert Taruth: "The air force units stationed in the territory of the Great Liang Empire, why haven't they sent support yet?" The four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the reorganized North Road Attack Group are almost exhausted, but not a single fighter plane supported by the Air Force has been sent over! ”
Minister of War Robert Tarus said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the air force of the Merlin Kingdom dispatched a large number of fighters, and soon after the outbreak of the naval battle of Chongyang Island, it launched a large-scale air raid on various airfields of our air force in the territory of the Great Liang Empire. ”
Emperor Elvira then shouted: "Our air force in the territory of the Great Liang Empire, after the replenishment in recent days, already has more than 4,000 fighters, can't even dozens of fighters be deployed?" Even if it's a third-generation fighter, you just need to send a few air tankers to support it! ”
Minister of War Robert Taruth sighed and said: "Your Majesty, this time the air force of the Merlin Kingdom has at least used more than 6,000 fighters, and may even exceed 7,000 or 8,000, although there are many backward second-generation fighters, but more are third-generation fighters and fighters belonging to the second and a half generations, and the air force of the Merlin Kingdom is fighting very fiercely, so far, our air force has been damaged to a great extent at many airports in the territory of the Great Liang Empire, and the loss of fighters has exceeded 1,500 aircraft. Moreover, looking at this situation, the losses of the air force will continue to expand, and the air force stationed in the Daliang Empire is indeed powerless to support the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the North Road Attack Group. ”
Emperor Elvira gritted her teeth and asked, "What about the air force within the Great Chu Empire and the Great Wu Empire?" Can you support the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Northern Route Attack Group? ”
Minister of War Robert Taruth said helplessly: "Because of the combat radius of the fighters, the air force units in other places are basically unable to support, and in terms of time, it is too late now." ”
"Whoa-" Emperor Elvira angrily pushed a bunch of folds on the front bookcase to the ground, "Then what about the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the North Road Attack Group?" ”
Prime Minister Prudencel hesitated for a moment and suggested: "Your Majesty, it is better to order a retreat!" It's still the sentence of the Tang people, stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood! ”
Emperor Elvira did not speak for a long time, and the Minister of War, Robertaluth, opened his mouth and did not say anything against Prime Minister Prudencel, and the whole hall fell silent.
The four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy suffered extremely heavy losses, and the main fleet of the Merlin Kingdom Navy on the opposite side also suffered very large losses, in the bridge of the Abyss-class aircraft carrier Abyss of the Merlin Kingdom Naval Fleet, the captain of the Abyss, McLands, reported to the Marshal of the Merlin Kingdom Adzybald: "Marshal, the large aircraft carrier Jewel, the flagship of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, has been sunk, but the command of the enemy fleet has not been confused, and it seems that there are other enemy ships acting as the flagship." ”
Archibald rubbed his left shoulder, just now the Abyss aircraft carrier was hit by a missile near the bridge, there were several Merlin Navy officers and men in the bridge of the Abyss who were hit by the aftermath of the explosion, and Archibald's left shoulder was also injured, "McClanz, how many warships do we have left?" How many carrier-based aircraft are there? ”
McClans, the captain of the Abyss, then said gloomily: "There are only 2 large aircraft carriers, 2 small aircraft carriers, 2 escort aircraft carriers, 6 missile battleships, 5 missile battle cruisers, 7 missile cruisers, 12 missile destroyers, 15 missile frigates and 18 submarines left, and many ships are seriously injured." ”
Then McClans continued: "There are now 11 fourth-generation fighters, 71 third-generation fighters, 1 AWACS aircraft, 2 electronic attack aircraft and 8 multi-functional helicopter gunships left, although we have suffered great losses, but the naval losses of the Lombalou Empire are even greater, their large aircraft carriers have sunk 3, and there are not many carrier-based aircraft left, maybe not as many as we have left." ”
Marshal Archibald nodded, although the number of losses had already made his heart bleed, but Archibald still said in a deep voice: "Order all ships to continue to approach the remnants of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, and order the carrier-based aircraft to launch a sixth wave of attacks on the enemy fleet immediately after they are reloaded!" In order to cooperate with our naval battle, our Merlin Air Force dispatched most of its strength to launch a large-scale air attack on the Lombalou Imperial Air Force stationed in the Great Liang Empire. ”
Soon, the sixth wave of attack aircraft of the Merlin Kingdom Navy, consisting of 60 fighters and 2 electronic attack aircraft, flew over the 4 reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, and at this time, the 4 reinforced aircraft carrier formations added up, leaving only about 1 reinforced aircraft carrier formation.
The remnants of the carrier-based aircraft of the Lombalou Imperial Navy soon fought with the sixth wave of attack aircraft of the Merlin Kingdom Navy in the sky above their own fleet, and the warships of the Lombalou Imperial Navy also used a variety of air defense weapons to cooperate with their own remnants of carrier-based aircraft to attack the Merlin Kingdom Navy.
Of the 60 fighters and 2 electronic attack aircraft of the sixth wave attack aircraft group of the Merlin Kingdom Navy, only 12 fighters and 1 electronic attack aircraft returned to the flight deck of the Merlin Navy aircraft carrier, but they made the Lombalou Empire's Navy pay the price of 1 escort aircraft carrier, 1 missile cruiser, 1 missile destroyer and 2 missile frigates, and at the same time, the Lombalou Imperial Navy's 4 carrier-based aircraft to strengthen the aircraft carrier group, and 6 fourth-generation fighters, 32 third-generation fighters and 1 AWACS aircraft were destroyed.
The fierce battle between the two fleets lasted until more than 1 o'clock in the afternoon of January 13, when the missile battleship Yulias, the temporary flagship of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, which had been scarred, suddenly had a series of explosions, and the entire hull was blown into two pieces and quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.
However, many of the remaining warships of the Lombalou Imperial Navy are equipped with high-power radio stations, which can communicate with the mainland of the Lombalou Empire at any time, so the officers and soldiers of the Lombalou Imperial Navy immediately reported the news of the possible death of the commander-in-chief Dankraka to Emperor Elvira and the Ministry of Defense of the Lombalou Empire.
Soon after, the remnants of the warships of the Lombalou Imperial Navy received the retreat order personally issued by Emperor Elvira, and then the remnants of the four reinforced aircraft carrier formations of the Lombalou Imperial Navy began to retreat in the direction of the coastline of the Great Liang Empire.
However, the Merlin Kingdom Navy, which also suffered heavy losses, was unwilling to let the enemy leave just like that, and under the order of the Merlin Kingdom Navy Marshal Archibald, the remaining warships of the Merlin Kingdom Navy launched another chase battle. (To be continued.) )
