Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 200 The Commander Who Spits Blood
Outside the city of Azem, where Azem Port is located, the No.19 Infantry Corps of the Monia Royal Army was stationed. The infantry corps quickly organized its troops and launched a counterattack on the port of Azem.

However, at this time, the two field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Dynasty who attacked the Port of Azem together with the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire have already set up a defense line in the city of Azem, and are relying on the port of Azem. The artillery support of the two forts and the many warships of the Third Fleet easily blocked the No.19 Infantry Corps of the Monia Royal Army.

The news of the capture of Azem Port quickly spread to Nasya City, the capital of the Monya Empire. A minister shouted: "Who can give me an explanation? The largest military port of our Monia Empire was captured by the Tang Empire army so easily, and even the entire main fleet was almost intact by the Datang Empire." Is there anything more absurd than the capture of the imperial army?"

Prime Minister Toliczka immediately said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, calm down, no one thought that the Tang Empire would go far and near to attack the military port of the Monia Empire. In addition, there was a heavy fog in the port of Azem this morning, which made the Tang Dynasty The imperial army successfully landed easily. The No.19 Infantry Corps currently stationed outside the city of Azem has already launched a counterattack to the port of Azem. The control is in the hands of the Tang Empire army, so the counterattack of the No.19 Infantry Corps is not going smoothly."

Emperor Ippoli was a little discouraged when he heard this, and said: "This time Azem Port was attacked by the army of the Tang Empire, the loss of our Monia Empire is too great. You must know that Azem Port has our Moni The largest shipyard in the Asian Empire, in addition to the six Champion-class super dreadnought battleships and six Victory-class battlecruisers that are about to be completed, there are also a large number of warships under construction at the Azem Shipyard, and the First Fleet has gathered us Moni Almost 80.00% of the strength of the Asian Royal Navy has become someone else's spoils of war!"

Prime Minister Toliczka sighed and said: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to an end. We can only mobilize more troops to retake Port Azem as soon as possible, and strive to minimize the loss this time."

Emperor Yippoli asked with a sad face: "The Tang Empire army occupies the forts of Azem Port, and there are a large number of Datang Empire warships in Azem Port, it is not easy to take back Azem Port! "

Different from the sad expression on the face of Yipu Poli, the emperor of the Monia Empire, Su Yi, the emperor of the Tang Empire, was full of joy at this time.

Su Yi has received a system prompt, congratulations to him for capturing [-] enemy super dreadnought battleships and [-] battlecruisers, including six champion super dreadnought battleships and six A Victory-class battlecruiser.

These twelve giant ships have been basically completed, only some interior decorations are left unfinished, and even the twelve giant ships have completed a sea trial, conducted a test of the power system, and checked whether there is any problem with the hull structure. Whether the bottom of the ship is leaking or not, the twelve giant ships have finally met the design requirements in these aspects, which means that the twelve giant ships that have not been completely completed can be driven away by the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire.

The Imperial Navy of the Great Tang Empire only needs to continue to complete the interior decoration of these twelve giant ships, conduct one or two sea trials, and finally complete the painting, so that these twelve giant ships can join the Royal Navy of the Great Tang Empire That's why the system can determine that these twelve giant ships were captured by the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire, together with the capture of eight Champion-class ships and eight Victory-class ships of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of Monia, all of a sudden let Su Yi received a system reward of fourteen Japanese Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships and fourteen British Hood-class battlecruisers.

The Nagato-class super dreadnought battleship, currently the first fleet of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire has equipped three ships, and the Hood-class battlecruiser Hood is the last battlecruiser built by the British Royal Navy. Proud of the Royal Navy.

The Hood-class battlecruiser has a standard displacement of 41125 tons, a full-load displacement of 46880 tons, and a maximum speed of 32 knots. It is equipped with four twin-mounted 42-caliber 381mm main guns, twelve 140mm secondary guns, and four 102mm anti-aircraft guns. Four 533mm torpedo tubes, 305mm main armor on the side, 76mm deck armor, 381mm main turret armor, and a crew of 340.

The rewards from the system, together with the captured ones, means that the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire has 28 super dreadnought battleships and 28 battlecruisers at once, and it has achieved such a great result, but the price paid is very small. It's no wonder that Su Yi's face is smiling like a flower.

In the Hall of Virtue and Virtue in the Imperial Palace of Chang’an City, Su Yi smiled and said to Wang Chengliang, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire: “Hurry up and ask the Third Fleet to bring back the six Champion-class ships and six Victory-class ships from the Azem Port Shipyard. , plus the eight Champion-class ships and eight Victory-class ships captured in the port of Azem Port, there are fourteen super dreadnought battleships and fourteen battlecruisers. Big!"

Wang Chengliang said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there would be heavy fog in the port of Azem. It seems that God is also on the side of our Tang Empire. Thanks to the two marine brigades going together this time, otherwise it may be Because there are too many warships captured, it is impossible to bring back all the captured warships.”

At this time, Zhang Qihui, the deputy commander of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire, suddenly said to Su Yi: "Your Majesty, in the Azem Port Shipyard, in addition to six Champion-class ships and six Victory-class ships, there are also a large number of Monia Navy ships under construction. However, many of these warships have only been partially completed, and it will take a long time before they are completed. However, if our Tang Empire can occupy the port of Azem for a long time, we can complete the construction of these warships and supplement them to our Royal Navy. in the sequence."

After listening to Zhang Qihui's suggestion, Su Yi felt a little moved. After all, after this raid on Azem Port, the Monia Navy has not posed a big threat to the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire in a short period of time, and as long as there are naval warships With the support of artillery fire, it is simply an impossible task for the army of the Monia Empire to take back the port of Azem, not to mention that the twelve forts of the port of Azem have completely fallen into the hands of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire. hand.

Su Yi turned his head and asked He Yunfei, commander-in-chief of the Imperial Army of the Tang Empire, "Yunfei, what do you think of Qihui's suggestion?"

He Yunfei pondered for a while and said: "Your Majesty, if our Tang Empire occupies the Port of Azem for a long time, the Monia Empire will definitely mobilize heavy troops to try to take back the Port of Azem. Shrouded by the flames of war, the shipyard in Azem Port is also likely to be affected. In addition, if we only occupy Azem Port, we will not only need to transport a large amount of shipbuilding materials from the mainland of the Datang Empire to Azem Port, but also have to go to the Azem Port. Various shipyards in the country have transferred a large number of engineers and workers to the shipyard in Port Azem."

After a pause, He Yunfei continued: "Of course, there is also an advantage of occupying Azem Port for a long time, that is, you can use Azem Port as a bait to continuously consume the strength of the Monia Empire Army, so that the Monia Empire cannot be distracted from other areas. fighting."

He Yunfei's words made Su Yi hesitate, and then Su Yi asked Wang Chengliang, commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, "Cheng Liang, what's your opinion?"

Wang Chengliang thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the shipbuilding industry of our Datang Empire is developing rapidly. At the beginning of next year, the 36 Zhenyuan-class super dreadnought battleships and 36 Dingyuan-class battlecruisers built by our Datang Empire will be They can all be delivered to the Royal Navy, and dozens of large armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers built by the Tang Empire have already joined the Royal Navy's sequence. By the end of this year, there will be nearly two of these three types of warships. Hundreds of ships are in service, so I think that the shipyard in Azem Port is actually not very important to our Datang Empire. The six most valuable ships of the Azem Port Shipyard and the six Victory-class ships have been taken We've got the Royal Navy in the bag."

The Zhenyuan-class super dreadnought battleship was designed by the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire with reference to the Queen Elizabeth-class and the Bavarian-class. It has five dual-mounted main guns with a caliber of 42 mm and a maximum speed of 381 knots. Before the merger of the Moon Empire, the eight large shipyards of the Datang Empire built a total of twenty Zhenyuan-class ships, and the six large shipyards of the Ziyue Empire also built sixteen Zhenyuan-class ships.

The Dingyuan-class battlecruiser was designed by the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty with reference to the King Kong-class battlecruiser and the Prestige-class battlecruiser. It has four double-mounted 42-caliber 381mm main guns and a maximum speed of 31 knots. The construction situation of the Dingyuan class is the same as that of the Zhenyuan class. At present, there are 36 large shipyards in the Datang Empire, and a total of [-] Dingyuan class ships are under construction.

The reason why Su Yi named the two giant ships Zhenyuan class and Dingyuan class is to commemorate another time and space, a tragic navy in history.

Su Yi nodded slightly and said: "Since we have already snatched the most valuable things in Azem Port, there is no need to occupy Azem Port, after all, from our Datang Empire to Azem Port , It will take half a month at the earliest, if the Monia Empire does not give up the attack on Azem Port, then the logistical pressure on our Datang Empire army will be too great."

Zhang Qihui, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy, also said at this time: "Actually, it is good to give up the port of Azem. Anyway, the most valuable things in the port of Azem have been taken by our Royal Navy, but when we retreat, we cannot It’s cheaper for the Monia Empire, at least the Port of Azem will be blown up.”

The Royal Monia Army continued to attack the Port of Azem for five days, and did not even stop attacking at night. In addition to the No.19 Infantry Corps of the Royal Monia Army, there was later the Eighth Infantry Corps of the Royal Monia Army and No.12 Infantry Corps, also joined the battle to counterattack the Port of Azem.

It's a pity that the two field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Tang Empire have twelve forts in Port Azem and the artillery support of the Third Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire. , was still firmly blocked in the city of Azem, and because of the war, more than half of the city of Azem was turned into ruins.

In the end, the three infantry regiments of the Monia Royal Army entered the largest military port of the Monia Empire on the morning of May 3014, [-] in the Tang Dynasty.

It wasn't that the three infantry regiments of the Monia Royal Army broke through the defense line of the two field infantry divisions of the Royal Army of the Great Tang Empire in Azem City, but the army of the Great Tang Empire voluntarily withdrew from the port of Azem.

After the Monia Royal Army regained the Port of Azem, it was discovered that the entire Port of Azem could no longer see its original appearance.

The twelve fortresses in Azem Port turned into twelve ruins at this time. This is when the Imperial Army of the Tang Empire evacuated, detonated a large number of shells remaining in the forts, and blew up all twelve forts. .

In addition, many port facilities in Azem Port, including many warehouses for hoarding supplies, were also bombed before the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire withdrew, and the worst thing was the Azem Port Shipyard.

The largest shipyard in the Monia Empire has twelve new docks of 60 tons, twelve docks of [-] tons, ten docks of [-] tons, ten docks of [-] tons, and more than [-] tons. Docks under tons.

When the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire withdrew, all the hundreds of docks were blown to pieces. The Monia Empire wanted to restore these hundreds of docks, and the amount of work was almost equal to rebuilding hundreds of docks.

The Royal Navy of the Datang Empire only put the basically completed six champion-class super dreadnought battleships and six victory-class battlecruisers in this shipyard, as well as the nearly completed six large armored cruisers, eight light cruisers and twelve A destroyer was taken away, and the remaining warships under construction in the dock were of little value because they were not well completed, and were blown up by the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire.

Of course, the biggest gain of the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire was the almost complete capture of the First Fleet of the Monia Navy.

More than 30 warships of the Azem Port Garrison Fleet of the Monia Royal Navy, as well as more than 200 passenger ships, cargo ships and military transport ships parked in the Azem Port, were all taken away by the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire.

After returning to the port of Azem, the commander of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of Monia, Pifanu, saw the empty port and the shipyard that had become a ruined shipyard. Blood, and then fainted on the pier of Azem Port.
