Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 24 The Star Empire Navy Ready to Break Through

Su Yi calculated based on the information from the Liuyun Empire's Admiralty that the Sharad Empire's fleet of four super dreadnought battleships would arrive in Xingang City at the end of May or the beginning of June.

This made Su Yi hesitate, should he take the initiative to attack before the fleet of the Sharad Empire arrives, and weaken the strength of the Jisk Empire Navy and the Orenza Empire Navy first, or wait for the three navies to unite, and the Liuyun Empire in Su Yi's hands The chances of winning the Royal Navy's independent fleet will be very slim.

In fact, Su Yi didn't know that the Sharad Empire, the Jisk Empire, and the Orenza Empire had already delineated their respective spheres of influence at the beginning of this war. This is also the navy of the Jisk Empire and the Orenza Empire. There is no reason to trouble Su Yi.

At noon on April 3011th, [-] in the Tang Dynasty, Su Yi, Wang Chengliang, and He Yunfei were discussing whether the independent fleet should take the initiative to attack. At this time, a guard sent a telegram to Su Yi.

Su Yi took a look at the telegram and immediately frowned, then Su Yi handed the telegram to Wang Chengliang, and after Wang Chengliang finished reading it, he handed it to He Yunfei.

He Yunfei said to Su Yi: "Commander, if we go to rescue the First Fleet and Third Fleet of the Skystar Empire, we can take the opportunity to weaken part of the strength of the Jisk Empire Navy, which coincides with what we discussed before."

It turned out that this telegram was sent by the Navy Department of the Liuyun Empire, hoping that the independent fleet would go south to Kangshan Port of the Skystar Empire to assist the First Fleet and the Third Fleet of the Skystar Empire Navy to break through.

The Star Empire has four main fleets, of which the first fleet has two pre-dreadnought battleships, four armored battleships, four armored cruisers, eight light cruisers, ten destroyers and thirty torpedo boats. The strongest.

The Second Fleet of the Skystar Empire has two former dreadnought battleships, two ironclad battleships, two armored cruisers, six light cruisers, six destroyers, and twenty torpedo boats, the same equipment as the heavily damaged Third Fleet of the Skystar Empire.

After the war started, the first fleet and the second fleet of the Skystar Empire were trapped by the navy of the Jisk Empire in Kangshan Port, the largest military port of the Skystar Empire. Pao had some scruples and never launched an attack on Kangshan Port.

Now the Jisk Empire's army has invaded Weinan Province where Kangshan Port is located by land, and is heading straight for Kangshan Port. It is obvious that they want to seize Kangshan Port and capture the two main fleets of the Tianxing Empire.

The First Fleet and Second Fleet of the Skystar Empire had no choice but to prepare to break through, otherwise, once Kangshan Port was captured by the Jisk Empire's army, it would be difficult for these two fleets to break through.

Su Yi touched his chin and said: "According to the information sent by the Skystar Empire Navy, the Jisk Empire Navy has gathered at least six dreadnought battleships, eight former dreadnought battleships and ten iron-clad battleships outside Kangshan Port, and armored cruisers There are dozens of ships, light cruisers, destroyers, and torpedo boats, Cheng Liang, how many warships do you think the Independent Fleet will send this time?"

When Wang Chengliang heard that Su Yi wanted to send troops, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Marshal, I think the first and second teams can be dispatched, together with four 'Fei'-class large armored cruisers, Four light cruisers and ten destroyers are enough to defeat the Gisk Empire Navy outside the harbor of Thornhill."

The first battle group Wang Chengliang mentioned refers to the two Bavarian-class battleships Yongxiang and Yonghui, two Ise-class battleships Tongan and Tongrui, and two Iron Duke-class battleships Chubo. , Chutai, the formation of super dreadnought battleships.

The second battleship refers to the dreadnought battleship formation composed of two British giant-class battleships Ping Hai and Ping Gong, and two German King-class battleships Deji and Desheng.

In addition, the Independent Fleet also has a third battleship, a former dreadnought battleship formation composed of six Edward VII-class battleships Jianwei, Jianyong, Jianren, Jianwu, Jianli and Jiansignal.

Su Yi immediately said decisively: "Then follow what Cheng Liang said, dispatch the first and second teams, as well as four large armored cruisers, four light cruisers and ten destroyers, and set off in the afternoon to head to the Skystar Empire." Kangshan Port, go meet the fifth navy in the world!"

Wang Chengliang nodded and said: "Xingang City is not far from Kangshan Port, and it should arrive within two days. Don't worry, Commander, the Independent Fleet will definitely send you a victory report!"

Su Yi's next words made both Wang Chengliang and He Yunfei frown, "I will personally go to Kangshan Port with the independent fleet for this battle. You don't need to persuade me. No matter what, I must go!"

He Yunfei hesitated and said: "Commander, there are many things going on here in Xingang City, and you still need to stay and sit in charge!"

Su Yi waved his hand and said: "I am very relieved to have you here in Xingang City. This battle is of great importance. I must go there in person. In addition, there is another important reason for me to go to Kangshan Port..."

The reason why Su Yi insisted on going to Kangshan Port was that he was going to inspect Kangshan Port to see if there was a chance to occupy Kangshan Port.

Although the port of Xingang City is not small, it is only a civilian port, and the terrain is not suitable for use as a military port. Su Yi has no choice but to regard the port of Xingang City as the home port of the independent fleet. After all, the territory in Su Yi's hands is only Xingang City .

Kangshan Port is known as the largest natural ice-free port in the eastern mainland. The terrain is extremely dangerous, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the entrance faces east. , constituting the natural barrier of Kangshan Harbor.

Knowing from the telegram sent by the Admiralty of the Liuyun Empire that the Skystar Empire was planning to abandon Kangshan Port, Su Yi immediately had the idea of ​​taking Kangshan Port as his own. The army of the Skystar Empire could not defend Kangshan Port. Hong Kong does not mean that Su Yi cannot defend Kangshan Port.

On March 5000 and April 8000, Su Yi bought all the products that could be purchased in the system mall, which increased the army-type junior combat biochemicals under Su Yi's command by [-] people, and the navy-type junior combat biochemicals. The number of people increased by [-].

Now the Xingang garrison has six infantry regiments and one infantry brigade, with a total strength of more than 5. The six infantry regiments of the Xingang garrison are placed in Kangshan Port, which may not be able to block the attack of the Jisk Empire army.

What's more, Su Yi now still has nine ad hoc infantry wings composed of more than 1000 naval officers and soldiers, as well as a powerful independent fleet.
