Chapter 632: The Helpless Europa Player
In the early hours of the morning, beneath the surface of the sea, there was an undercurrent.
The news that was quickly fed back through the radio communication equipment let Xia Qi know that the fish-man troops had moved.
However, among the fishmen stationed in this area of the fifteenth sea, only the charging attack of the swordfish people can cause damage to the battleship itself.
And on this premise, the warships of the East China Sea Fleet all have their own anti-mine bulges, and even if they are swordfish, to a large extent, they still can't do anything about them.
Now, the only thing the fish-man forces can do against the Upper East China Sea Fleet is to rush to the deck of the battleship and launch an attack.
But it cannot be denied that even so, the combat effectiveness of the fish-man soldiers is still very strong.
The fish-men who constantly rushed onto the deck of the battleship posed a very big threat to the naval soldiers of the East China Sea Fleet.
However, in this attack, although the offensive rhythm shown by the fish-man troops was much stronger than the previous waves, the opponent didn't seem to have any intention of playing any special hole cards.
After receiving this news, Xia Qi was also a little skeptical for a while.
He had previously speculated if the Fish-Man troops on the other side would go back to pull reinforcements after being deflated by the offensive of his Submarine Hunter troops.
Xia Qi had to suspect that the other party wanted to wait until the reinforcements arrived to trap him, and this possibility was very high.
Moreover, he also thought in his heart that if the other party wanted to compete with his submarine hunter troops, there were only two ways.
The first is to increase the number of troops.
At present, on the side of the fish-man troops, after many casualties in successive battles, it is estimated that there is not even a thousand troops left.
And on the side of the East China Sea Fleet, there are only 2,000 submarine hunters equipped with harpoon guns, not to mention, there are also lizardmen melee troops with water vortex guns, which is completely suppressed in numbers!
If the disadvantage of troops cannot be recovered, it will be difficult to win even if the opposite side has a home advantage.
The second is to dispatch powerful units.
Since the quantity is not enough, then fight for the quality.
And once the quality of the opposite side comes up, Xia Qi estimates that his side is really a little difficult to deal with, unless his first unit can arrive at the battlefield quickly, so that he can have enough strong underwater combat power.
Combined with all kinds of speculation, this made Xia Qi more eager to establish an advantage in advance, and at the same time, he also wanted to test the reaction of the fish-man troops.
As the supreme commander of the East China Sea Fleet, Lu Meng saw the entire battle situation very thoroughly.
If they choose to attack, they will definitely be able to capture the port city at a certain cost.
However, there is no need for that.
The Europa fleet, which is now scattered in the outer seas, is pinned down by the Aztec fleet and the Fran fleet, while the escort fleet in the coastal area is attacked by the lightning strike fleet of the Sakura camp.
However, this state of affairs cannot be maintained forever.
If they choose to occupy this port city, then the Europa fleet at sea will definitely come back and start a recapture operation.
At that time, they will occupy a port, and they will be a little passive in the face of the offensive of the Europa fleet.
Rather than that, it is better to divide this operation into two groups of offensives to fight.
This time, it is enough to destroy the supplies on the opposite side first, and at the same time suppress the strength of the troops stationed in the port.
As for this port city, let the opposite side continue to occupy it first, anyway, now that the food and grass supplies are gone, in less than a month, the Europa Sea Fleet, which has been cut off from supplies, will have to destroy itself.
When the time comes, launch a second wave of offensives, and easily wipe out the opponent's fleet, and then take this port city.
With this in mind, Lu Meng, who had enough dictatorship over this naval war, immediately issued an order to retreat after seeing that the battle was almost over.
The active retreat of the East China Sea Fleet also brought this port attack battle to a temporary end, but this was almost a port in ruins, and it was obvious that no one could be at peace this night.
The next morning, when the sky and the earth were still hazy, Lieutenant Colonel Europa, who had barely slept all night, stared at a pair of bloodshot eyes, listening to the loss report of the soldier in front of him, and his whole face had turned iron blue.
The destruction of a large number of buildings and the casualties of soldiers are not mentioned for the time being, and the warehouses where grain and ammunition are stored in the port area are almost completely destroyed.
This batch of supplies, which had just arrived from the rear at the beginning of the month, was enough to support the consumption of their border fleet and garrison troops for a quarter, but now they were directly destroyed.
This time the loss is too heavy.
At this moment, the Lieutenant Colonel Europa only felt that his brain was blank, and he almost lost the ability to think.
He rubbed his face vigorously, then took a deep breath and waved his hand, letting the debriefed soldier retreat.
The moment the door of the office closed, there was a sudden sound of smashing in the office.
For this, several pro-soldiers standing at the door also knew that they were clear about the fact that the lieutenant colonel was about to be transferred to the central government, but now it seems that it is obviously invalid.
Even if His Majesty did not punish him severely, thank God.
As for the future, it is definitely gone, unless, he can make great achievements.
Otherwise, it's better not to think about it.
The originally bright career was cut off by someone, and whoever was replaced had to explode in his mentality.
For a period of time after that, the pro-soldiers were cautious in their work, for fear that some mistakes would cause the lieutenant colonel to become angry. In that case, it's too wrong.
On the other side, although this night attack failed to take the port on the Europa side, it bombed the supply depot of the opposite port and cut off the supply materials on the opposite side, which can also be said to have achieved considerable results.
Therefore, the foreign combined fleet, which is busy helping the East China Sea Fleet to cover up, naturally has no dissatisfaction, not to mention the plan to attack the port this time, which is already very difficult.
Unlike them, who only need to entangle the Europa fleet and the offshore convoy on the periphery, the night is not suitable for fleet combat, and the presence of fish-man troops requires a huge risk to attack the port at night.
It is not easy for the East China Sea Fleet to withstand such risks and pressures and destroy the material supply of the Europa side.
However, Lu Mengke did not tell them that the warehouses in Europa Harbor that were stockpiling supplies were blown up by their goblin airship with aerial bombs.
Anyway, the black light blinds, everyone can't see clearly, at most, they can hear the violent explosion and the fire generated by the explosion.
Even if they may have guessed in their hearts, they can't be sure that they haven't seen it with their own eyes.
On the side of the fish-man troops, Balk, who confirmed the latest information and the night raid battle, looked stunned, and then spoke in a deep voice.
"This is the other party's temptation, we have been showing weakness to preserve our strength during this time, and I am afraid that the other side is already suspicious, so they are testing, testing whether we still have any hole cards."
"Destroying the supplies hoarded in Europa ports is equivalent to cutting off our back routes, and even if we play any powerful hole cards beyond his expectations, it will be useless, as long as they can delay time, we will destroy ourselves sooner or later without supplies."
"And what are you going to do next?" Lieutenant Colonel Swordfish looked at Balk with a worried look on his face and asked.
To be honest, compared to the next battle, he was more worried about the state of Balk's kid. Now he is completely like a different person.
To this, Balk said: "Go according to the original plan. ”
Balk sorted out the thoughts in his head for a moment, and then continued: "Even if the other side vaguely guesses our purpose, it's useless, because they don't know when we're going to do it, as for the supply of supplies, as long as the other side doesn't drag on for time, it only takes one battle to give them a fatal blow!" ”
After a few days, after successfully cutting off the supply of supplies from the opposite side, the movements of the East China Sea Fleet and the Foreign Combined Fleet began to slow down.
It's already flying dragon riding faces, so what's the hurry, just wait for the other side to reveal their flaws.
In the face of Lu Meng's old and spicy methods, the Europa fleet will naturally not have a good time in the future.
Some time later, this news was also sent to the eyes of Europa players.
In the early years, their Europa fleet was suppressed by the opposing foreign combined fleet with the advantage of troops, and he was very calm, thinking that as long as he stabilized the situation, he would be able to seize the opportunity to turn the tables sooner or later.
In fact, it was true, and then the combined fleet of him and another Europa player directly closed off the opposite side and once mastered the hegemony of this sea area!
Later, when the Franc players joined in to form the Four-Nation Combined Fleet and swept their Europa Combined Fleet all over the sea, he still breathed a sigh of relief.
Don't panic, there's still a chance.
It turned out that with the hole card of the Wingman Legion in his hand, he successfully inflicted heavy damage on the foreign combined fleet that was preparing to land, and then the Fishman troops arrived, allowing them to reverse again, and it can even be said that it was a super comeback.
But this time, he really couldn't help but flip the table on the spot!
Probably because the pressure that has accumulated little by little over the years has completely exploded, making his whole state extremely irritable.
I just transferred a lot of supplies before, but now it's all gone!
The enemy fleet attacked at night and blew up the warehouse where they were stockpiling supplies!
If it weren't for the plea of his ministers, he would have wanted to give an order on the spot and kill that waste directly!
For an empire whose finances and economy are already very tight and have to tighten their belts to get by, it is not easy to get a batch of supplies out in a short time.
After waiting for his emotions to calm down, the Europa player quickly opened the message window and sent a message for help to another Europa player while signaling several of his important ministers to find a way to reallocate a batch of supplies.
To be honest, from a geographical point of view, the two of them were very lucky, because they were thrown by the system to the same continent as neighbors when they intervened in the battlefield at that time.
The area of this continent is almost one-fifth the size of the central continent, so there are only two players on this continent, and it is quite easy to gain control of an entire continent from the beginning, and they can be united with peace of mind.
Another player who received the message also had a look of embarrassment on his face.
To be honest, his situation is not much better, and he has no energy left to support others.
But at the same time, he knew very well in his heart that he and the other party were already grasshoppers on a rope.
Even if the fish-man troops really had any chance, they could still dive into the deep sea and escape, but they couldn't escape!
Once one of them collapses, the other will inevitably be besieged to death by the opposite side after falling into a situation of weakness.
Therefore, interdependence, mutual support, and joint efforts to resist the invasion of foreign enemies are the capital for them to survive.
Another Europa player, who knew this very well, gritted his teeth and asked his ministers to start counting the supplies in the empire.
