Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 260 Six Waves of Attack Aircraft Group
For the Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter jets and Junkers-88 dive bombers equipped by the Royal Air Force of the Tang Empire, countries such as Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi have not seen how powerful they are, so the combined fleet of the three navies After failing to attack Weishan Port and Yuedao Port, they still sailed mightily to Huifeng Port where several main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty gathered.

In the early morning of September 3016, [-] in the Datang calendar, the combined fleet of the three navies came to the waters less than [-] kilometers away from Huifeng Port, and encountered two destroyers of the Royal Navy of the Datang in charge of maritime reconnaissance.

The joint fleet of the three navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi is not worried that the main force of the Datang Royal Navy gathered in Huifeng Port will not go out to meet the battle, otherwise the combined fleet of the three navies can take several main fleets of the Datang Royal Navy. , directly blocked in Huifeng Port, even with the help of the coastal defense artillery of Huifeng Port, the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty must suffer in the end. After all, so many warships are blocked in the port, and they lose their mobility. , can only be beaten passively.

In order to prevent the three navies of Inaba, Sharad, and Noomi from fighting independently in the naval battle, after discussion by the three commanders of the three navies, it was decided to set up a joint command, and the joint command was located in the Royal Navy of Inaba The top of the super dreadnought battleship HMS Princess Alice.

The commander-in-chief of the Royal Navy of Inaba, Petru, served as the commander-in-chief of the combined fleet of the three navies, while the commander of the Royal Navy of Sharad, Commander Genis, and the commander of the Royal Navy of Noomi, Porfi, served as the deputy commander-in-chief. Of course, the details The battle still requires three people to discuss it. It is impossible for these three commanders to give up the command of their own navy to others.

Petrou, commander of the Royal Navy of Inlobal, took a deep breath, and said to the commanders of the other two countries on the bridge: "Facing another decisive battle with the Datang Navy, although the overall strength of the combined fleet of the three navies needs to be Beyond the several main fleets of the Datang Navy gathered in Huifeng Port, but I have always felt a little uneasy in my heart, and I always feel that there is something I have not considered."

Commander of the Royal Navy of Sharad, Johnny said with a sigh: "It may be that we lost too badly last time. To be honest, I have experienced the most battles with the Datang Navy, but I have never won a victory. I am now My heart is also up and down, and I have been cast some shadows by the Datang Navy."

Before the war between the Tang Empire and the Alliance of Seven Nations, Gennis had led the Sharad Navy twice against the fleet under Su Yi's command, and each time they returned with disastrous defeats.

Noomi Royal Navy Commander Porfi smiled slightly, "General Petrou, General Genis, the overall strength of the combined fleet of our three navies this time far exceeds the strength of the Datang Navy gathered in Huifeng Port. Rather, I think that the final winner of this naval battle must belong to the joint fleet of our three navies!"

Petelu nodded and said: "What General Porfi said is very true. The combined strength of the combined fleet of our three navies can definitely be called shocking. This time, in the decisive sea battle with the Datang Navy, the final victor It must belong to us!"

As soon as the words of Petru, the commander of the Royal Navy of Yingluoba, the ear-piercing sirens sounded on the sea, and a large number of fighter planes flew from the direction of Huifeng Port, even as if they wanted to cover the sky Living.

"Why are there so many fighter planes! Everyone in the intelligence department should be sent to the gallows!" Sharad Royal Navy Commander Janice shouted in horror.

As the commander-in-chief of the joint fleet of the three navies, Petrou, although his face became very ugly at this time, he was still relatively calm, "Immediately order all warships to deploy air defense formations, and let all armored cruisers, light cruisers and destroyers do whatever they can. Protect the capital ships at a price!"

At several military airports around Huifeng Port, the Royal Datang Air Force gathered a total of 109 Messerschmitt Bf88 fighter jets and [-] Junker-[-] dive bombers. After discovering that the combined fleet of the three navies had come to the waters near Huifeng Port, the Royal Air Force of Datang sent [-] Xiuniao fighter jets and [-] Goshawk dive bombers in the first wave of attack.

The Xiuniao fighter is also the Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter, and the Goshawk dive bomber is also the Junker-88 dive bomber.

Five hundred Xiuniao fighter jets and four hundred Goshawk dive bombers soon flew over the combined fleet of the three navies, and pounced on the warships of the three navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi.

The main task of the Xiubird fighter is to attack the anti-aircraft firepower on the enemy warships, and provide the goshawk dive bomber with a dive bombing opportunity, while the goshawk dive bomber mainly targets the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers of the three navies and the top of the Dreadnought.

"Da da da... bang bang bang..." The eight anti-aircraft machine guns and four 47mm anti-aircraft guns on a brave-class super dreadnought battleship of the Yingluoba Navy continued to fire into the air, preventing the Royal Air Force of Tang Dynasty from flying in the air. Those fighter planes are approaching.

And around this Bravery-class super dreadnought battleship, there are also a light cruiser and two destroyers of the Inrobar Navy, using anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns, trying to stop the fighter planes of the Royal Air Force of Datang from rushing towards them. The brave-class super dreadnought battleship protected.

Six Xiuniao fighter jets pounced on the Bravery-class super dreadnought battleship from high altitude, using a 30mm cannon and two 7.9mm machine guns to continuously attack the Bravery-class super dreadnought battleship and a surrounding light The cruiser and two destroyers strafed to suppress the anti-aircraft firepower of the four warships.

Although after the emergence of military aircraft, navies of various countries have added anti-aircraft weapons on top of warships, but navies of various countries do not believe that aircraft will pose a real threat to capital ships with a displacement of tens of thousands of tons, so like this ship with 406 mm The main gun, the brave-class super dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of up to 46900 tons, is equipped with only eight anti-aircraft machine guns and four 47mm anti-aircraft guns, while a light cruiser and two destroyers around them are equipped with anti-aircraft weapons. Not as good as this brave-class super dreadnought battleship.

At the cost of one being shot down, the six Showbird fighter jets quickly silenced almost one-third of the anti-aircraft firepower of the four warships. At this time, three Goshawk dive bombers began to attack the Brave-class super fearless ship on the sea. The battleship dived, and at the same time, the two 13mm machine guns and three 7.9mm machine guns on the Goshawk dive bomber also fired fiercely at the anti-aircraft firepower of the brave-class super dreadnought battleship and the surrounding light cruiser and two destroyers.

The bomb load of the Goshawk dive bomber can reach 2.5 tons. This time, in order to carry out air bombing against the joint fleet of the three navies of Inroba, Sharad, and Noomi, each Goshawk dive bomber is equipped with three 800-kilogram air bombs. bomb.

In the end, the three Goshawk dive bombers successfully dropped three 800kg aerial bombs on the brave-class super dreadnought battleship, and all nine aerial bombs hit, immediately covering the brave-class super dreadnought battleship. In the flames of an explosion, but this brave-class super dreadnought battleship showed no signs of being bombed and sunk.

And just after the three Goshawk dive bombers pulled up after dropping the aerial bombs, two more Goshawk dive bombers pounced on the Bravery-class super dreadnought battleship that was still exploding...

After [-] Xiuniao fighter jets and [-] Goshawk dive bombers launched their attacks, the sound of explosions one after another has covered up all other sounds. The ship sank slowly into the sea amidst the intense explosion.

It wasn't until all the Goshawk dive bombers dropped the aerial bombs that the Datang Royal Navy fleet, which launched the first wave of attack, retreated in the direction of Huifeng Port.

There are two large armored cruisers, two light cruisers, and four destroyers surrounding the super dreadnought battleship Princess Alice, the flagship of the Royal Navy of England. With these eight warships and Princess Alice itself In the first wave of air strikes by the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty, the Princess Alice was not hit by an aerial bomb. Instead, the Princess Alice cooperated with eight other warships and shot down a Xiu Bird. fighter jets and a Goshawk dive bomber.

However, the faces of the three commanders of the entire United Fleet in the bridge of the Princess Alice were extremely ugly. The commander of the Royal Navy of Inlobal, Petelu, gritted his teeth and turned to an adjutant behind him, saying: "Immediately!" Count up the losses, and I want to know the losses of the three navies as soon as possible!"

At this time, the commander of the Royal Navy of Sharad, Johnny said bitterly: "The fighters and bombers equipped by the Datang Air Force are too powerful. If it weren't for the fact that the combined fleet of our three navies has enough warships, the anti-aircraft firepower has been enhanced. Our navies of the three countries have no good way to take these fighters and bombers of the Datang Air Force. Facing these fighters and bombers with exceptional performance, the air defense weapons on the warships of our three navies are really too few."

Noomi Royal Navy Commander Porfi looked at a Noomi Navy battlecruiser that was sinking in the distance, and said with a painful face: "The loss is too great. Just this wave of air strikes, our three countries At least [-] to [-] battleships in the joint naval fleet were sunk, and if the Datang Air Force launches a few more air strikes, the joint fleet of the three navies will not have to fight a decisive battle with several main fleets of the Datang Navy."

As if to confirm Porfi's words, soon another huge fleet appeared in the distant sky, the second attack fleet consisting of 250 Xiubird fighter jets and [-] Goshawk dive bombers It also came, and part of the Xiubird fighter jets also carried a [-] kg aerial bomb on the pylon on the centerline of the belly.

Noomi Royal Navy Commander Porfi suddenly said a little timidly: "I think it's better to retreat first! The Datang Air Force doesn't know how many planes are deployed here in Huifeng Port!"

When the time came to twelve noon on September [-]th, the sixth wave of attack aircraft consisted of more than [-] Xiuniao fighter jets and more than [-] Goshawk dive bombers. The airports around Fenggang returned, but at this time the joint fleet of the three navies already had nearly a hundred capital ships, which disappeared in the sequence.

The Datang Royal Air Force fighter planes gathered at several military airports around Huifeng Port all carried out two attack missions. After completing the first air strike against the combined fleet of the three navies, the Xiuniao fighter jets and Goshawks that flew back to the airport The dive bombers quickly replenished ammunition and aerial bombs, and launched another wave of air strikes.

The super dreadnought battleship HMS Princess Alice, the flagship of the Royal Inaba Royal Navy, was only hit by an 800-kilogram aerial bomb during the six waves of air strikes. Moreover, the aerial bomb hit not an important part, and the fire caused by it was also Controlled by the damage control personnel of the Princess Alice, the Princess Alice was almost unaffected except that two 155mm secondary guns, three anti-aircraft machine guns and two 47mm anti-aircraft guns were destroyed. fighting power.

Inside the flagship of the Princess Alice, the naval commanders of the three countries each held a piece of paper in their hands, all with dull expressions on their faces.

Petru, commander of the Royal Inlobal Navy, gently placed the paper in his hand on the table in front of him, and then said with a wry smile: "Our Royal Navy in Inlobalia had fourteen super dreadnought battleships during the six waves of air strikes. , [-] battlecruisers and four dreadnought battleships were sunk, more than [-] warships of other types were also lost, and almost all the remaining capital ships were injured. It never occurred to me that the combined fleet of our three navies This is the way to lose the battle."

The commander of the Sharad Royal Navy, Genice, rubbed the paper into a ball vigorously, and said through gritted teeth: "Our Royal Sharad Navy also suffered a lot of losses. There are eleven super dreadnought battleships, fifteen battleships The cruiser and three dreadnought battleships were sunk by the bombers of the Datang Air Force, and the other capital ships were also injured, and several of them even lost their combat effectiveness."

Noomi Royal Navy Commander Porfi said with a wry smile: "Our Noomi Royal Navy also has twelve super dreadnought battleships, fourteen battlecruisers and two dreadnought battleships that have been bombed and sunk. The fleet can only withdraw as soon as possible, the farther away from Huifeng Port the better, don’t even think about a decisive battle with the Datang Navy.”

During the air strikes by the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty on the combined fleet of the three navies, the combined fleet of the three navies was dealing with the attack fleet above them, while retreating to the northwest far away from Huifeng Port. The sea area of ​​Fenggang is about [-] kilometers.
