Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 345 The Independent Fleet Attacking

After the various attacking troops of the Great Qin and Yueyang Front Army quickly defeated the defense line in the southern border area of ​​the Ice Lion Country, they continued to advance to the hinterland of the three southern states of the Ice Lion Country.

Although many Ice Lion Army troops retreated from the southern border defense line, in accordance with the orders of the Ice Lion Cabinet, they carried out tenacious defenses in various towns in the three states, and even the orcs of various ethnic groups in these towns also joined in resisting the Great Qin and Yueyang Front Army In the midst of the battle, the towns in the three states still fell under the onslaught of the Qin Yueyang Front Army.

As of the end of May in the year 2539 in the divine calendar, the Ice Lion Kingdom is close to the three states of the Great Qin Kingdom, and almost 90.00% of the area has fallen into the hands of the Great Qin Yueyang Front Army. Troops, the total strength has exceeded 500 million.

After launching the attack on the southern part of the Ice Lion Country, Su Yi ordered a large number of backbones to be drawn from the twelve temporary armies, plus millions of human soldiers from the Ice Lion Country who revolted, and more than 200 million reserve officers and soldiers of the Yueyang Front Army , Form six new temporary armies and each new temporary army still has six temporary divisions and twelve supplementary regiments under its jurisdiction. The six newly formed temporary armies are equivalent to letting Su Yi's Yueyang Front Army The total strength of the army has increased by nearly 400 million, which also allows Su Yi to devote more troops to the southern part of the ice lion country.

Lisakov State is one of the three states adjacent to the Great Qin State in the Ice Lion State. Under the attack of the Yueyang Front Army, even the capital of Lisakov State, Sanna City, fell into the hands of the Yueyang Front Army. However, Lisakov Due to the presence of the Ice Lion Nation's navy, the eastern coastal area of ​​Fuzhou is still under the control of the Ice Lion Nation's army for the time being.

In the sea area more than 80 kilometers east of Manges Harbor in Lisakov State, a huge fleet is cruising, including a large aircraft carrier, four super dreadnought battleships, three battlecruisers, and five dreadnought battleships , six heavy cruisers, twenty light cruisers, thirty destroyers and dozens of auxiliary ships, and these warships all belong to the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy.

The flagship of the Ice Lions Navy's first aircraft carrier formation, the Magic aircraft carrier has a full load displacement of about 130 tons and has 66 carrier-based aircraft, including [-] fighter jets, [-] bombers, and [-] reconnaissance aircraft.

At around nine o'clock in the morning on May 2539, 29 in the divine calendar, in the bridge of the aircraft carrier Magic, the captain of the Magic, Nassieh, frowned and said to Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy: "Commander According to information obtained by the intelligence department, the Daqin Air Force has built many field airfields in some places near the coast of Lisakov State, and has stationed a large number of fighters and bombers of the Daqin Air Force, and these fighters and bombers are the first to us. For the aircraft carrier formation, the threat is very great, and the fourth aircraft carrier formation was almost wiped out under the attack of the Daqin Air Force."

Delaware, the commander of the First Aircraft Carrier Formation, sighed and said: "It is precisely because of this that I gathered all the warships of our First Aircraft Carrier Formation together, and have been cruising in the waters near Manges Port to guard against the Daqin Air Force. After all, our Ice Lion Air Force has more than 90 fighter jets deployed in Manges Port, if the Daqin Air Force attacks our first aircraft carrier formation, the more than 90 fighter jets of the Air Force can still help."

Naciye, the captain of the Magic, said immediately: "Commander, in fact, given the current situation in Lissakov State, it doesn't make much sense for our first aircraft carrier formation to stay on the coast of Lissakov State. The aircraft carrier formation and the fourth aircraft carrier formation merge together, the second aircraft carrier formation has the aircraft carrier Castle, and the fourth aircraft carrier formation has the brave aircraft carrier. I think the combination of the three aircraft carriers can resist the possible attack of the Daqin Air Force."

The aircraft carrier Castle of the second aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy is the same model as the Magic aircraft carrier. It also has 130 two carrier-based aircraft. The Brave aircraft carrier of the fourth aircraft carrier formation is a medium-sized aircraft carrier with a full load displacement of about 76. Eight thousand tons, with [-] carrier-based aircraft.

Originally, the "Brave" aircraft carrier suffered some minor injuries under the attack of the Daqin Air Force Independent Division, but now the "Brave" aircraft carrier has been repaired in a shipyard in the Ice Lion Country.

Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation, said with a wry smile: "I have also reported this suggestion to Marshal Mochka, but the cabinet is unwilling to give up the coastal area of ​​​​Lissakov State in vain, and at the same time thinks that our first aircraft carrier The strength of the formation is very strong, and it should not be afraid of the attack of the Daqin Air Force."

Naciye, the captain of the Magic, frowned and said: "The strength of our first aircraft carrier formation is indeed very strong, but there is only one aircraft carrier. Facing hundreds or even thousands of fighter planes of the Daqin Air Force, our first aircraft carrier formation We can only adopt passive defense, otherwise we will suffer a lot.”

Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation, pondered for a while and said: "There are large radar stations in every coastal city of Lisakov state. Our first aircraft carrier formation will retreat to the north, trying not to get too entangled with the Daqin Air Force."

As soon as Delaware's words fell, a major of the Ice Lions Navy ran to Delaware and Naciye in a panic, "Commander, captain, the radar has detected a large number of planes heading towards our No. An aircraft carrier formation is approaching!"

The words of the Lieutenant Commander of the Ice Lion Kingdom immediately caused the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation Delaware and the captain of the Magic to show incredible expressions.

To the east is an endless sea. If the Daqin Air Force wants to launch an attack on the first aircraft carrier formation, the Daqin Air Force's attack fleet should fly over from the coastal direction of the Lissakov State in the west. The planes appearing now are Where did it come from?
"Could it be the carrier-based aircraft of some navy? Commander, what should we do now?" Captain Naciye asked anxiously.

"No matter which country these planes belong to, what is certain is that they are neither friends nor foes with the first aircraft carrier formation of our Ice Lions Navy. Immediately order all the fighter jets of the Magic to take off, and let six reconnaissance planes take off immediately to go to the east. Search for possible aircraft carriers, and prepare all warships for air defense operations!" Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation, said solemnly.

At this time, there is also a fleet cruising on the sea about 150 kilometers east of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy, but the size of this fleet is much worse than that of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy. , all add up to only eleven warships and a few auxiliary ships, and this small fleet is the newly established independent fleet of the Yueyang Front Army.

The eleven warships of the independent fleet of the Yueyang Front Army, including a super dreadnought battleship, a light cruiser and a destroyer captured by the Fourth Fleet of the Ice Lion Navy, these three warships have been repaired by Minggang Shipyard Yes, among them, the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen just joined the sequence of the independent fleet on May 25.

The other eight warships are all simple aircraft carriers transformed by Minggang Shipyard. Four simple aircraft carriers have a full-load displacement of more than 1 tons, and the remaining four simple aircraft carriers have a full-load displacement of more than [-] tons.

These eight simple aircraft carriers are equipped with dozens of carrier-based aircraft, a total of more than 250 aircraft, including 140 six bamboo dragonfly fighters, 140 eight black butterfly bombers, [-] eight moth torpedo bombers and [-] ladybugs The reconnaissance aircraft, these carrier-based aircraft all come from the world of the Tang Empire. After Su Yi transported the parts of these carrier-based aircraft to the world of the Great Qin Kingdom, he asked the factory to assemble these carrier-based aircraft according to the drawings. .

On the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen, Ding Haifeng, the commander of the independent fleet, said excitedly to Liu Bin, the captain of the Xingchen: "After today, our independent fleet will definitely be known to the world!"

After the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen was incorporated into the independent fleet, its name was still called Xingchen.

Liu Bin, the captain of the Xingchen, couldn't help but said with emotion: "I don't know if the Xingchen has a chance to compete with the four super dreadnought battleships of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy? We haven't seen it before. The four triple-seaters on the Xingchen What about the scene where the 45mm main gun with 406 times the caliber is fired!"

Ding Haifeng, the commander of the Independent Fleet, immediately shook his head and said: "The Xingchen has just joined our independent fleet. It will not be easy for the officers and soldiers to let the Xingchen go to sea with eight aircraft carriers. The current Xingchen does not have much combat effectiveness. The attack of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Lion Kingdom Navy mainly depends on the carrier-based aircraft of the eight aircraft carriers, as well as the independent air force division belonging to our Yueyang Front Army."

Originally, Su Yi planned to let the Air Force Independent Division clean up the Ice Lion Navy's first aircraft carrier formation that had not left the coast of Lisakov State. However, Ding Haifeng, the commander of the Independent Fleet, took the initiative to ask Su Yi to cooperate with the Air Force Independent Division. Together, they launched an attack on the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy.

Considering that the Minggang Shipyard has transformed eight simple aircraft carriers for the independent fleet, Su Yi finally decided that the independent fleet and the independent division of the air force will cooperate to fight as hard as possible to damage the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy.

Just as the first wave of attack aircraft from the Independent Fleet was about to fly over the Ice Lions Navy's first aircraft carrier formation, more than [-] Showbird fighter jets and more than [-] Goshawk dive bombers from the Air Force Independent Division were also attacking the Ice Lions. Fly over from the sea area where the first aircraft carrier formation of the Chinese Navy is located.

The first attack fleet of the Independent Fleet consisted of 74 Bamboo Dragonfly fighters, 74 Black Butterfly bombers and [-] Moth torpedo bombers.

When the first attack fleet of the independent fleet launched an attack on the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy, all 66 fighter jets on the Magic aircraft carrier had already taken off.

However, these 66 fighter jets of the Ice Lions Navy are no match for the Bamboo Dragonfly fighters of the independent fleet at all in air combat, and it is impossible to talk about the air interception of the Black Butterfly bombers and Moth torpedo bombers. The first aircraft carrier of the Ice Lions Navy The warships in the formation can only rely on anti-aircraft weapons to resist the attacks of the black butterfly bombers and moth torpedo bombers.

"Boom—boom—" A battlecruiser with a full load and displacement of more than 533 tons was hit by four [-]-kilogram aerial bombs and two [-]mm torpedoes in a short period of time. In the sound of the explosion, it was blown into two pieces and quickly sank to the sea surface.

"It's over, the Dawn is hopeless!" the captain of the Magic, Nassieh, shouted in horror. The Dawn was the battlecruiser that had just been blown into two pieces.

Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation, gritted his teeth and asked, "When will the more than 90 fighter jets of the Air Force in Manges Harbor arrive?"

Naciye, the captain of the Magic, hesitated for a while and said, "Our first aircraft carrier formation is about 80 kilometers away from Manges Port. The Air Force's more than 90 fighter jets in Manges Port should be coming soon!"

At this time, a Lieutenant Colonel of the Ice Lions Navy ran over, "Commander, Captain, the radar found that there are also a large number of planes approaching our first aircraft carrier formation in the west, and these planes are not our Ice Lions Air Force stationed in Manchester. Those fighter jets in Gus Harbor!"

Delaware and Naciye's eyes suddenly showed deep fear, and a sense of ominous and ominous arose in their hearts at the same time.

To the despair of all the officers and men of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy, shortly after the first wave of attack aircraft of the Independent Fleet completed the first round of strikes, hundreds of fighter planes from the Independent Division of the Daqin Air Force flew over again, attacking the Ice Lions Navy. The first aircraft carrier formation launched a second round of attacks.

After the first round of attacks by the first attack fleet of the independent fleet, the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy has been sunk with one battlecruiser, one dreadnought battleship, two heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and five destroyers, and the 66 fighter jets launched by the aircraft carrier Magic were almost lost in the air battle with many bamboo dragonfly fighters.

The only thing that comforted Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation in the Ice Lion Country, was that in the short interval between the two rounds of attacks by the enemy attack fleet, all sixty bombers on the Magic aircraft carrier successfully lifted off, and they were already heading east. He flew over the sea area, trying to find the position of the Daqin Navy's aircraft carrier formation with the help of the surviving three reconnaissance planes and seven fighter jets, and launched an attack on the Daqin Navy's aircraft carrier formation.

On the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen, the captain Liu Bin of the Xingchen reported to Ding Haifenghui, the commander of the independent fleet in a deep voice: "The radar on the Xingchen shows that dozens of ships of the Ice Lion Navy's Magic aircraft carrier The carrier plane is flying towards our independent fleet, do you want the second wave of attack planes to intercept it?"

Ding Haifeng, the commander of the Independent Fleet, said indifferently: "Isn't there 56 Bamboo Dragonfly fighter jets that have been guarding the skies over our Independent Fleet? Let these 56 Bamboo Dragonfly fighter jets intercept it. The attack plan of the second wave of attack aircraft groups constant!"
