Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 118 Submarine Attack
Although Su Yi was very angry at the massacre of the Ziyue Empire prisoners and civilians by the Orenza army, Su Yi also knew that it was not the time to completely clean up the Orenza Empire. The most important thing for the Su family army now was to defeat the Cangyu Empire The Sharad army and the Cangyu Empire's army in the territory have given the Su family army a broader space for development.

The Ninth Infantry Regiment and No.20 Fourth Infantry Regiment of the Sharad Royal Army trapped in Dingxin City, Jinan Province, Cangyu Empire, and the 12th Infantry Regiment of the Royal Sharad Army, who were besieged in Anzhou City, Lunan Province, Cangyu Empire The Legion, the No.20 Infantry Corps and the No.20 Fifth Infantry Corps, faced the attack of the Su family army, and they were very tenacious. The Su family army stormed these two cities for more than [-] days, but still did not completely capture the two cities.

The main reason why the Su family army has not conquered Dingxin City and Anzhou City for so long is that there are a large number of civilians in these two cities, which makes it impossible for the Su family army's heavy artillery units to be used. The battle of the five infantry regiments of the Royal Army turned into the most brutal street fighting.

Of course, the Sharad Empire will not sit idly by the five infantry regiments surrounded by the Su family army. As of July 3012, 20 in the Tang Dynasty, the Sharad Empire has assembled eleven infantry regiments in the territory of the Cangyu Empire. and four independent infantry divisions, of which five infantry regiments and two independent infantry divisions, are trying to rescue the ninth infantry regiment and No. and two independent infantry divisions are launching an attack in the direction of Anzhou City, hoping to rescue the Eighth Infantry Corps, No.12 Infantry Corps and No.20 Fifth Infantry Corps of the Sharad Royal Army in Anzhou City .

On the morning of July 3012th, [-] in the Tang calendar, in a meeting room of the governor's mansion in Kangshui City, the capital of Luochuan Province in the Ziyue Empire, Su Yi was discussing with dozens of generals of the Su Family Army's army troops the situation in the Cangyu Empire. During the war, suddenly Du Zhongtie, the captain of the guard, pushed open the door of the conference room without even knocking on the door, hurried to Su Yi, and handed a telegram to Su Yi.

Su Yi took a look at the telegram, his expression changed suddenly, and then handed the telegram to He Yunfei, the commander-in-chief of the Su Family Army Army, "The port of Xingang City was attacked by submarines, and the independent fleet suffered a big loss!"

Time went back to [-]:[-] p.m. on July [-]th, when a fleet of the Sharad Royal Navy arrived in the waters near the port of Liuyun Empire's Xingang City.

The fleet of the Royal Sharad Navy includes three modified submarine motherships, eighteen Blackfish-class submarines, twelve destroyers, forty torpedo boats, and six ordinary transport ships.

The three modified submarine motherships were all transformed from old-fashioned medium-sized armored cruisers. In addition to retaining the most basic self-defense artillery, the more function of them was to provide various supplies for the Blackfish-class submarines.

On the bridge of the submarine mothership of the Beaver, Olekach, the senior officer of the Navy Department of the Sharad Empire, said to the captain of the Beaver, Feidikl: "There are only about 35 miles away from the port of Newport City." Let the [-] submarines dive immediately and head towards the port of Newport City."

The Navy Department of the Sharad Empire, in addition to the Minister of the Navy and the Deputy Minister of the Navy, there are five high-ranking naval officers, whose status is only below the Minister of the Navy and the Deputy Minister of the Navy. The attack fleet, mainly composed of [-] Blackfish-class submarines, came to attack the independent fleet in the port of Newport City. Olekach, the senior officer of the Ministry of the Navy, was personally named by the Minister of the Navy Gavriel, and served as the commander of the attack fleet. .

The captain of the Beaver, Fediker, hesitated for a moment and said, "Count Olekach, the speed of the Blackfish-class submarine is only 4 knots underwater. Should I move closer to the port of Xingang City and let [-] more submarines dive?" Otherwise, it would take about nine hours for the [-] submarines to go from here to the port of Xingang City, so even if the [-] submarines attack successfully, we will not be able to launch a second wave of attack."

Commander Olekach shook his head and said: "You can't get any closer, or you might be spotted by the patrol boats of the Independent Fleet. As for the second wave of attacks, I don't think it will have much effect. After all, the Su family army is already in the port of Xingang City. , deployed at least hundreds of large-caliber coastal defense guns, and we attacked the twelve destroyers and forty torpedo boats in the fleet. If we wanted to rush into the port of Xingang City and launch a torpedo attack, it would be no different from death."

In order to defend Xingang City, a stronghold in the Liuyun Empire, Su Yi took advantage of the mountains around the port of Xingang City to build sixteen forts. A total of 24 305mm coastal defense guns and 48 234mm coastal defense guns were deployed. And 64 155mm coastal defense guns. These coastal defense guns can not only attack enemies on the sea, but most of them can also attack enemies from land.

The captain of the Beaver, Fediker, frowned slightly, "Earl Olekach, relying on only eighteen submarines, can he rebuild the battleships of the independent fleet in the port of Xingang City?"

Commander Olekach shrugged and said: "I don't know what kind of record the [-] submarines can achieve, but the submarine is a new type of warship that can change the naval combat mode. Let us take a look next, How powerful is this new type of warship!"

The captain of the Beaver, Fediker, then asked: "Count Olekach, why didn't we choose Kangshan Port of the Skystar Empire for the first appearance of the submarine? The number of battleships deployed by the Independent Fleet in Kangshan Harbor It’s a lot more than here in Xingang City Port.”

Commander Olekach said with a slight smile: "Our mission to attack the fleet this time is only to sink some battleships of the independent fleet, so as to give an explanation to His Majesty the Emperor and the subjects of the empire. It is best to win beautifully, so We selected the target as the port of Newport City."

In fact, Olekach tried his best to choose the independent fleet in the port of Xingang City as the attack target of the [-] Blackfish-class submarines, which has another deep meaning.

You must know that Genis, the former Deputy Minister of the Navy of the Sharad Empire, had already been removed from the position of Deputy Minister of the Navy by Emperor Herris, and this position has not yet been filled. One of them is definitely the most favorable contender for the position of Vice Minister of the Navy.

Olekach hopes to lead the attack fleet to a beautiful victory this time, so that he is likely to take over the position of the Deputy Minister of the Navy.

In order to win beautifully, Olekachi must of course choose a relatively easy target. The port of Xingang City is easier to attack than Kangshan Port in any respect.

After Commander Olekach's order was issued, the 20 Heiyu-class submarines of the Sharad Royal Navy immediately began to dive. After diving to about 4 meters, the [-] Heiyu-class submarines began to head towards Xingang at a speed of [-] knots. Heading towards the port of the city.
