Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 340 Captured Super Dreadnought Battleship

The commander of the [-]th aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, Lolett, heard that the captain of the brave aircraft carrier, Retano, said that the warships of the [-]th aircraft carrier formation in other ports on the northeast coast of the Great Qin Kingdom were also attacked. He sighed and said: "In fact, our fourth aircraft carrier formation should have given up on the ports along the northeast coast of the Great Qin State long ago. After all, Su Yi, the Great Qin State, has a very powerful air force. Now our fourth aircraft carrier formation can't even withdraw. Easy."

As soon as Lolett's words fell, another light cruiser experienced a series of violent explosions, and then the hull of this light cruiser tilted severely, and soon a rollover hit the sea surface, and it quickly fell to the ground. sink.

Retano, the captain of the aircraft carrier Brave, hesitated for a moment and said, "Commander, can we consider evacuating Minggang? It's not an option for us to carry on here all the time, or we all have to stay here!"

Lolitt sighed and said: "Let's survive this round of Daqin Air Force's attack first! Now the sky is full of Daqin Air Force fighter planes, and our fourth aircraft carrier formation is impossible to escape even if we want to. These Daqin Air Force The fighters will follow our fourth aircraft carrier formation like flies."

The Super Dreadnought Battleship Star is the most powerful super dreadnought battleship of the Ice Lion Navy. It is also the first ship of the Star-class super dreadnought battleship. The Ice Lion Navy has built a total of two star-class super dreadnought battleships.

Although after the advent of aircraft carriers, the importance of super dreadnought battleships in the navy has been greatly reduced, but the power of super dreadnought battleships is still unquestionable.

The Xingchen super dreadnought battleship has a full load displacement of 45 tons. It is equipped with four triple-mounted main guns of 406 times the caliber of 45 mm, and sixteen secondary guns of 150 times the caliber of 40 mm. The large-caliber naval guns of the Eagle Dive Bomber and the Star Super Dreadnought Battleship are useless, and can only rely on sixteen double-mounted 20mm anti-aircraft guns, sixteen quadruple-mounted 24mm anti-aircraft guns, and [-] anti-aircraft machine guns. , to resist the densely packed Goshawk dive bombers in the sky.

During the first wave of attacks by the Air Force Independent Division of the Yueyang Front Army, the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen was hit by a 533mm torpedo, three [-]kg aerial bombs and three [-]kg aerial bombs, but the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen Relying on the armor with rough skin and thick flesh, there is no serious problem.

However, during the second wave of attacks by the Air Force Independent Division of the Yueyang Front Army, the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen was hit by three 533mm torpedoes and several [-]kg aerial bombs and [-]kg aerial bombs in succession. The super dreadnought battleship had to choose to rush to the shallows on the shore of the port.

If the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen does not choose to run aground, according to the injuries of the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen, it is very likely that it will eventually sink due to severe water ingress.

Inside the bridge of the USS Brave, Captain Retano reported to the commander of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Fleet Lolite in a deep voice: "The Star sent a telegram requesting that the officers and soldiers on the Star be allowed to evacuate, otherwise the grounded Star will , is a living target, once the ammunition magazine above is detonated, the consequences will be disastrous."

Lolett said with a sad face: "Is there any possibility for the Star to retreat?"

Retano, the captain of the aircraft carrier Brave, shook his head and said: "The super dreadnought battleship Xingchen is seriously injured, and has entered thousands of tons of sea water. It is almost impossible to withdraw, and there are fighter planes from the Daqin Air Force. It exists, and other warships are unable to rescue the Xingchen, Commander, in order to prevent the Xingchen from falling into the hands of the Great Qin State, should the officers and soldiers on the Xingchen blow up the Xingchen before evacuating?"

The commander of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Group, Lolitt, immediately shook his head and said, "The Super Dreadnought Battleship Star was built by our Ice Lion Navy with huge sums of money, and the cost of one Super Dreadnought Battleship Star almost caught up with the construction of three Braves." The aircraft carrier, even if the Xingchen is temporarily captured by the Great Qin, our Ice Lion Navy will have a chance to get the Xingchen back in the future, but once the Xingchen is completely blown up, our Ice Lion Navy will lose this ship with comprehensive capabilities forever. Powerful super dreadnought battleship."

After a pause, Lolit continued: "Let the officers and soldiers on the Xingchen evacuate immediately, and also... raise a white flag on top of the Xingchen to prevent the fighter planes of the Daqin Air Force from continuing to attack the Xingchen."

The brave aircraft carrier, the flagship of the fourth aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy, was lucky. In the two waves of attacks by the independent division of the Air Force of the Great Qin State, they did not suffer any fatal injuries. When the second wave of attacks by the independent division of the air force ended Afterwards, the commander of the Fourth Aircraft Carrier Group, Lolitt, immediately ordered the aircraft carrier Brave and other remaining warships to retreat to the deep sea east of Minggang Port.

At this time, apart from the aircraft carrier Brave, only one Dreadnought battleship, one light cruiser, and two destroyers remained among the Ice Lion Navy warships that could retreat together.

Most of the other warships in the fourth aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy have sunk into the sea. Only the stranded super dreadnought battleship Xingchen and a seriously injured destroyer that has lost power have no choice but to stay on the sea outside Minggang Port. .

Since the military field airports in Huijiang Province where the first attack fleet of the Independent Division of the Air Force is located are some distance from Minggang, when the first attack fleet returned to the various military field airports to reload aerial bombs and fuel, When they returned to the warring sea area and prepared to launch the third wave of attack, the second wave of attack by the Air Force Independent Division had ended for almost an hour, and most of the remaining Ice Lion Navy warships had disappeared, leaving only A super dreadnought battleship and a destroyer of the Ice Lions Navy were disembarked.

Hundreds of fighter planes from the independent division of the Great Qin Air Force hovered in the sky for a long time, but did not launch an attack on a super dreadnought battleship and a destroyer that had already raised the white flag. After the 62nd Division got in touch, hundreds of fighter jets and bombers from the independent division of the Daqin Air Force began to cooperate with the provisional 62nd Division to launch an attack on the Ice Lion Army troops entrenched in Minggang County.

On the evening of March 2539, 29 in the divine calendar, the county seat of Minggang County, including Minggang Port, fell into the hands of the 62nd Division of the Yueyang Front Army.

Li Haichuan, the commander of the provisional 62nd division, came to the wharf of Minggang Port excitedly, looked at the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen and another destroyer that had lost power on the sea in the distance, and said to the deputy division commander Gao Peng with a smile : "Quick, hurry up and send someone to take over these two warships. Don't let the Lions destroy these two warships. There is a super dreadnought battleship of the Ice Lion Navy!"

The deputy commander Gao Peng immediately said: "Lao Li, don't worry, the officers and soldiers of the Ice Lion Navy on these two warships should have withdrawn. I didn't expect that we would be able to capture a super dreadnought battleship of the Ice Lion Navy this time, and it was an ice lion ship." Among the super dreadnought battleships of the Lion Kingdom Navy, the star class is the most powerful, but I don't know if this star class super dreadnought battleship can be repaired?"

The division commander Li Haichuan said with a smile: "Whether it can be repaired or not is out of our control. Anyway, at least a small half of the credit for capturing this star-class super dreadnought battleship and this destroyer fell to our 62 division. picked it up."

The deputy division commander Gao Peng sighed and said: "I hope that this star-class super dreadnought battleship can be repaired. Now the coasts of Huijiang Province, Yuan'an Province and Guangyuan Province in the Northeast will all fall into the hands of our Yueyang Front Army. Our Yueyang Front Army Then there has to be a navy."

Division commander Li Haichuan nodded and said: "With the commander's great powers, I believe that our Yueyang Front Army will soon form a naval fleet."

While Li Haichuan, commander of the provisional 62nd division, and Gao Peng, deputy commander of the division, were happily discussing the formation of a naval fleet, on the bridge of the USS Brave, Captain Lei Tano spoke bitterly to the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier formation. Loret said: "Commander, in addition to the one aircraft carrier, one dreadnought battleship, one light cruiser and two destroyers withdrawn from Minggang, one aircraft carrier, one battlecruiser, a dreadnought battleship, a heavy cruiser, four light cruisers, and seven destroyers. In the end, only one dreadnought battleship, a light cruiser, and two destroyers were successfully evacuated, and the other warships were basically destroyed. Shen, a light cruiser was abandoned after being stranded."

The commander of the fourth aircraft carrier formation, Lolitt, said sadly: "So, our entire fourth aircraft carrier formation now only has one aircraft carrier, two dreadnought battleships, two light cruisers, and four destroyers. Account to the Cabinet and the Admiralty!"

Retano, the captain of the Aircraft Carrier Brave, said in a deep voice: "Commander, the air force under the command of Su Yi in the Great Qin Kingdom is really too powerful. It's lucky that our fourth aircraft carrier formation didn't be wiped out this time. Suggest to the cabinet and the Ministry of the Navy that according to the situation in the northeast of the Great Qin State, it does not make much sense for our fourth aircraft carrier formation to stay on the coast of the northeast region. Instead, it may be attacked by the Qin Air Force, but the cabinet and the Ministry of the Navy did not accept you Suggestion, the fiasco of our fourth aircraft carrier formation this time, the responsibility should not be borne by you."

Lolitt, the commander of the fourth aircraft carrier formation, shook his head and said: "The responsibility must be borne by me. It is impossible for the cabinet and the Ministry of the Navy to be responsible for the fiasco of our fourth aircraft carrier formation. We will return to China first, and then study other Let's do it!"

With the disastrous defeat of the fourth aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy, the coastal areas of Huijiang Province, Yuan'an Province, and Guangyuan Province in the Northeast region soon all fell into the hands of the Yueyang Front Army, leaving only a small half of the six Northeast provinces. The lesser half of Tongyu Province has not yet been recovered by the Yueyang Front Army, and in the five provinces in the northwest region, only the lesser half of Ganjiang Province and the lesser half of Lankang Province are still under the control of the Ice Lion Army.

Su Yi is very happy to be able to capture a super dreadnought battleship, a light cruiser and a destroyer. After all, the height and width of the Stargate are limited, and Su Yi has no way to separate the two kingdoms of the Tang Empire and the Han Kingdom. The warships of the world are brought to the world on the side of the Great Qin, so Su Yi wants to have a naval fleet in the world on the side of the Great Qin, so he can only rely on himself.

On the morning of April 2539, 406 in the divine calendar, at the City Defense Command of Yueyang City, Sun Guodong, the deputy commander of the Yueyang Front Army, reported to Su Yihui: "Commander, the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen captured by the Ice Lion Navy has been captured by several A tugboat was towed into a 150-ton dock in Minggang Shipyard. After a preliminary inspection of the Xingchen, the steam turbines and boilers of the Xingchen's power system were intact, only some pipes were damaged, and repairs were not a problem. The main gun with a caliber of [-] mm is basically undamaged, only a few secondary guns with a caliber of [-] mm, some anti-aircraft guns, and anti-aircraft machine guns need to be replaced, and some parts of the armor of the Xingchen need to be repaired."

Su Yi's eyes brightened, "So the Super Dreadnought Battleship Xingchen can be repaired? How about the technical capabilities of Minggang Shipyard? Can it completely repair the super Dreadnought Battleship Xingchen?"

Sun Guodong nodded and said: "The Super Dreadnought Battleship Xingchen can indeed be repaired. In addition, the commander can rest assured that the Minggang Shipyard is the second largest shipyard in our Great Qin State. It once built the first ship of our Great Qin State Navy. Dreadnought battleship, there is no problem in repairing the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen."

Su Yi showed a little smile and said: "After the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen is repaired, it's time for our Yueyang Front Army to form a naval fleet."

Sun Guodong said: "Commander, this time we also captured a light cruiser and a destroyer of the Ice Lion Navy, and these two warships can be repaired in the shipyard. In addition, we also captured a batch of warships in several ports. Torpedo boats and small gunboats, these torpedo boats and small gunboats originally belonged to our Great Qin Navy."

Su Yi pondered for a while and said: "Although the combat effectiveness of the torpedo boats and small gunboats is very weak, they are still warships, so first use these torpedo boats and small gunboats as the basis to form a naval fleet belonging to our Yueyang Front Army, and wait After repairing the Super Dreadnought Battleship Star and the captured light cruiser and destroyer, they will all be transferred to this naval fleet."

Sun Guodong nodded and said: "In our Yueyang Front Army, there are many officers and soldiers of the former Great Qin Navy. Using these torpedo boats and small gunboats, we can immediately form a small naval fleet, and at the same time, we can also transfer a large number of recruits to join this navy. Fleet, prepare for future expansion."
