Chapter 822: The Sixth Aircraft Carrier Formation is destroyed
Proudens, the commander of the Sixth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, saw that the Follower missile battle cruiser was blown in two at once and quickly sank into the sea, and immediately struck a thrill, Prudence knew that he could not go on like this, otherwise the entire Sixth Aircraft Carrier Formation would probably suffer a great blow here, or even be completely annihilated.

After all, the air power of the sixth aircraft carrier group has been lost, after the end of the air battle between the two sides, there are only 21 carrier-based aircraft of the Lombalou Imperial Navy that escaped, and when the aircraft group of the Chu people arrived at the sixth aircraft carrier group, the remaining carrier-based aircraft of the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier did their best to cooperate with the anti-aircraft fire of their own warships to resist the air attack of the Chu people's fighters, and now there is no longer any carrier-based aircraft of the Lombalou Imperial Navy in the sky, and the 21 remaining carrier-based aircraft have been the enemy fighters with an absolute superiority, All shot down.
However, the anticlimactic retreat in this way made Prudence a little unwilling, and August, the captain of the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier next to him, saw Prudence's hesitation, and immediately persuaded urgently: "Commander, in addition to the Follower missile battlecruiser can no longer avoid the fate of sinking, our 1 missile destroyer and 1 missile frigate can no longer be saved, now is the time to make up your mind!" Commander, if you leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, our Sixth Aircraft Carrier Formation will be passively beaten here again, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Prudence looked at the countless enemy planes in the sky through the observation window in the bridge, and said with a helpless sigh: "I didn't expect that the people of Chu have so many advanced fighters, I really want to send all those rice buckets of the intelligence department to the military court, such important information is not reported in detail, it's really damned!" Alas, all warships were ordered to maintain their formation, immediately retreat to the east, and get rid of the bombardment of Chu fighters as soon as possible. ”
However, at this time, it is not so easy to retreat, hundreds of Freikorp Air Force fighters in the sky, seeing the remaining 10 Lombalou Imperial warships on the sea, accelerated their retreat to the east, and immediately followed these 10 Lombalou Imperial warships and continued to attack.
With a loud bang, another missile frigate of the Lombalou Empire exploded, and as soon as I saw the situation of this missile frigate, there was no other possibility than to sink to the bottom of the sea.
August, the captain of the USS Wolf Warrior, saw that another of his own warships had been blown up and sunk, and said to Proudens, the commander of the sixth aircraft carrier formation, in a panic: "Commander, what should I do?" The fighters of the Chu people have been following us, this is the rhythm of eating our entire sixth aircraft carrier formation in one bite! ”
Prudence frowned and said: "I have already sent a signal for help to the naval aviation troops on Chernan Island, Chernan Island is less than 700 kilometers away from us, as long as we hold on a little longer, when the fighters from Chernan Island rush over, our sixth aircraft carrier formation will be safe!" ”
Cernan Island is an island more than 700 kilometers away from the coastline of the Eastern Continent, with an area of about 4,300 square kilometers, this Chernan Island was occupied by the Lombalou Empire several decades ago, and has been built by the Lombalou Empire as a giant aircraft carrier that will never sink, the Navy of the Lombalou Empire has arranged a large number of warplanes on Chernan Island, and it can be said that Chernan Island is the bridgehead of the Lombalou Empire peeping into the Eastern Continent.
This time, the navy of the Lombalou Empire sent 12 aircraft carrier formations at once, with nearly 4 million army troops, to land in the 12 ports occupied by the Kas army and the Merlin army of the Great Chu Empire, the Great Liang Empire, and the Great Wu Empire.
August, the captain of the USS Wolf Warrior, glanced at the sinking missile frigate and said in a wailing voice: "Commander, can the naval aviation troops of Chernan Island arrive in time?" If they are late, they will have to collect the corpses of our sixth aircraft carrier formation! ”
Prudence, commander of the sixth aircraft carrier group, said with a wry smile: "Now we can only count on the naval aviation units of Chernan Island, although the anti-aircraft firepower of our warships is very strong, but in the face of such a large number of advanced fighters, we have no choice but to be stiff!" ”
As soon as Prudence's words fell, the lieutenant of the Lombalou Imperial Navy who was in charge of the radar in the bridge exclaimed: "The warships of the Chu people have appeared, and there are 7 on the sea!" It's coming after us at high speed! ”
Prudence and August looked at each other, their faces became even more ugly, they had already suffered heavy losses from the fighters of the Chu people, and if the warships of the Chu people were also involved, the sixth aircraft carrier formation would really be more auspicious.
Prudence commanded in a deep voice: "All warships retreat to the east as fast as possible!" ”
"No! Commander, have you forgotten that the maximum speed of our aircraft carrier Wolf is only 20 knots? If the other warships retreat as fast as possible, our Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier will have to be thrown off, in that case, the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier will definitely not be able to be saved! August said urgently.
Prudence thought for a while, sighed helplessly and said, "Cancel the order just now, let the other warships follow the speed of the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier, maintain the formation and retreat to the east." ”
In the process of retreating eastward of the Sixth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, the Freipulp Air Force fighters who had been attacking it in the air immediately returned to various airfields along the coast to replenish missiles, aerial bombs and airborne ammunition after some ammunition ran out, and then took off again to pursue the enemy's fleet, which made the Fretilegs Air Force fighters at the head of the Sixth Aircraft Carrier Formation of the Lombalou Imperial Navy always maintain more than 150 aircraft.
When only the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier, as well as the USS Triumph missile battleship, as well as 1 missile cruiser, 2 missile destroyers, 1 missile frigate and 4 submarines remained in the 6th Carrier Formation of the Lombaru Imperial Navy, 1 missile cruiser, 3 missile destroyers, 3 missile frigates and 2 conventionally powered attack submarines of the Lombalou Imperial Navy also approached the remnants of the 6th Carrier Formation of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, and then launched the most fierce attack on the remaining warships of the 6th Aircraft Carrier Group of the Lombalou Imperial Navy.
At this time, the first batch of reinforcements that the sixth aircraft carrier group of the Lombalou Imperial Navy was looking forward to also arrived, and 36 fourth-generation fighters, 128 third-generation fighters, 6 electronic planes and 2 early warning aircraft of the Lombalou Empire that took off from Chernan Island also flew to the sky above the sixth aircraft carrier group of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, and then launched another tragic air battle with the air force fighters of the Free Corps.
Lin Daxin was very surprised by the sudden appearance of the Lombalou Empire's aircraft group, I don't know where these Lombalou Empire fighters came from, could it be that there is an aircraft carrier formation of the Lombalou Imperial Navy nearby?
However, the battle has reached such a point, and there is no reason to stop, so Lin Daxin ordered the Air Force of the Free Corps to make persistent efforts to eliminate the sudden appearance of the Lombalou Empire aircraft group, and cooperate with the Freedom Corps naval fleet to eliminate this Lombalou Empire's aircraft carrier formation.
At about 7 o'clock in the evening of October 20, 1360, the sky had already darkened, and this sea and air battle, which lasted for more than four hours, also came to an end.
In the bridge of the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, August, the captain of the frightened Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier, said bitterly: "It is really too dangerous to finally escape, it is already a miracle that our Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier can be saved!" ”
The Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier was hit by more than a dozen missiles and 5 aerial bombs in the engagement, although the hull leaked seriously, and the speed was only less than 15 knots, but it was still able to drive on the sea, and finally relying on the cover of the naval aviation troops of Chernan Island, the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier escaped from the attack range of the Free Corps Air Force and Navy.
Prudence, the commander of the sixth aircraft carrier formation of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, said with a pale face: "The Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier escaped, but our sixth aircraft carrier formation suffered too serious losses, except for the Wolf Warrior, only the Triumph missile battleship escaped, and the other warships, including 4 submarines, were sunk, so how can I explain to the Admiralty!" ”
August said comfortingly: "Commander, it's not that our sixth aircraft carrier group doesn't work the battlefield, it's really that the enemy is too strong, the carrier-based aircraft on the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier, now there is only 1 multi-functional armed helicopter left, and all the other carrier-based aircraft have been lost, and the air force of the Chu people has combat effectiveness beyond our imagination!" By the way, didn't the naval aviation units on Chernan Island also send a telegram saying that their losses were very large, and let the remaining warships of our sixth aircraft carrier group retreat to Chernan Island as soon as possible, and then continue to fight with the air force of the Chu people, and the naval aviation troops on Chernan Island should have no planes available. ”
Prudence listened to August's words, and his face became even more ugly, "In order to seize the territory of the Great Chu Empire, the Great Liang Empire and the Great Wu Empire this time, our navy has previously sent a large number of additional fighters to Chernan Island, as far as I know, the naval aviation forces of the entire Chelnan Island have at least 150 fourth-generation fighters and 400 third-generation fighters, in addition to some early warning aircraft, electronic attack aircraft and helicopters, and now even the naval aviation troops of Chernan Island are shouting that there are almost no planes available, It can be seen how great the loss of our Lombal Empire will be this time! ”
After a pause, Prudence sighed and said: "Alas, as the commander of the Sixth Aircraft Carrier Formation, I am to blame for this failure, not to mention winning the Golden Eagle Medal of the Empire, and my military career will end if I don't get it." ”
August's brows furrowed, if Prudence was punished for this failure, he, the captain of the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier, would not want to escape punishment, August said in a deep voice: "Commander, our defeat this time is so miserable, it should be the responsibility of the intelligence department, if we had already had the detailed information of this Chu army, we would not have advanced lightly with 1 aircraft carrier formation, we must explain the situation to the Admiralty." ”
Prudence smiled bitterly and said: "I will explain the detailed process of this naval battle to the Admiralty, but the Sixth Aircraft Carrier Formation has almost suffered a devastating blow, and someone must bear this responsibility, August, you said that in addition to letting me carry this responsibility, can the Admiralty find a more suitable person?" ”
August wailed and said, "Commander, if you are to bear the responsibility for this fiasco, then I will not be able to escape, alas-"
At this moment, the lieutenant of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, who was in charge of the radar display in the bridge, shouted hoarsely: "Not good! There are torpedoes! ”
Prudence and August's faces suddenly changed drastically, "Where is the torpedo, hurry up and avoid it!" ”
"Admiral Prudence, Captain, it's over, the torpedo will ...... soon"
Before the lieutenant of the Lombalou Imperial Navy, who was in charge of the radar display, finished speaking, the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier was hit by 2 torpedoes at the same time, and the good luck of the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier finally ran out, and it was hit by 2 torpedoes in less than 10 minutes, and the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier, which had a full load displacement of up to 89,000 tons, completely disappeared on the sea.
This time, Prudence and August don't have to worry about their defeat, the two of them and more than 3,000 officers and sailors of the Lombalou Imperial Navy on the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier all sank to the icy bottom of the sea together with the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier, and none of them survived, even if there were some Lombalou Imperial Navy officers and sailors of the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier, they were able to jump into the sea first to escape, and they were also brought to the bottom of the sea together by the whirlpool generated by the sinking of the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier.
And just when the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier was hit by 2 torpedoes, the nearby Triumph missile battleship was also hit by 2 torpedoes one after another, but the rough-skinned and thick-skinned Triumph missile battleship still did not sink, seeing that the Wolf Warrior aircraft carrier was no longer saved, the Triumph missile battleship continued to retreat in the direction of Chernan Island while frantically firing shells, missiles and depth charges into the sea around it.
The attack on the USS Wolf and the USS Triumph missile battleship were launched by two conventionally powered attack submarines of the Freikorps Navy, and after they sank four Lombalou Imperial Navy submarines, they received an order to pursue the two Lombalou Imperial warships that had escaped.
After the USS Wolf began to sink, the two conventionally powered attack submarines of the Free Corps Navy put their firepower on the top of the USS Triumph missile battleship, and finally the thick-skinned USS Triumph missile battleship, after being hit by more than a dozen torpedoes in a row, could no longer bear it, and after a rollover, it slowly sank to the sea.
The Triumph missile battleship had a full load displacement of 58,000 tons, and none of the more than 2,500 officers and sailors of the Lombalou Imperial Navy on it could escape from the ascension, and all of them sank to the bottom of the sea with the warship. (To be continued.) )
