Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 346 The Aircraft Carrier Sinks
The reason why Ding Haifeng, the commander of the independent fleet of the Daqin Navy, did not care about the attack aircraft fleet flying over from the Ice Lion Navy's Magic aircraft carrier, was because of the exceptional performance of the carrier-based fighter, the Bamboo Dragonfly, which gave Ding Haifeng great confidence. .

Although the Bamboo Dragonfly carrier-based fighter came from the Royal Navy of the Tang Empire and was produced by several aircraft manufacturers in the Datang Empire, many of the technologies of this carrier-based fighter came from the world of the Han Kingdom.

The level of science and technology in the world of the Great Han Kingdom is decades ahead of the world of the Great Tang Empire and the Great Qin Kingdom.

When the bamboo dragonfly carrier-based fighter came to the world of Great Qin, its excellent performance made the bamboo dragonfly carrier-based fighter immediately become the most advanced carrier-based fighter in the world, and it can even be said to be the best fighter.

Even the Xiuniao fighter jet equipped by the independent division of the Daqin Air Force, which is the Messerschmitt Bf109 fighter jet of Germany during World War II, lags behind the bamboo dragonfly carrier-based fighter in all aspects of performance, and the Xiuniao fighter jet is currently in Daqin The world on China's side is already one of the top fighter jets in all aspects.

The Bamboo Dragonfly carrier-based fighter did not disappoint Ding Haifeng, the commander of the Independent Fleet. The attack aircraft group consisting of three reconnaissance planes, seven fighter jets and sixty bombers on the Ice Lion Navy's Magic aircraft carrier was responsible for guarding over the Independent Fleet. Dozens of Bamboo Dragonfly carrier-based fighter jets were easily intercepted in the air a few kilometers away from the independent fleet.

Due to the lack of sufficient number of fighter jets to protect the attack fleet dispatched by the USS Magic aircraft carrier, this air battle, which was more than ten kilometers away from the independent fleet, almost turned into an aerial massacre. The machine can break through the interception and launch a substantial attack on the eight simple aircraft carriers, one super dreadnought battleship, one light cruiser and one destroyer of the independent fleet.

Of the 69 Ice Lion Navy carrier-based aircraft, only one reconnaissance plane managed to escape, and the remaining [-] Ice Lion Navy carrier-based aircraft were all destroyed by the Bamboo Dragonfly carrier-based fighter jets.

When Delaware, the commander of the Ice Lion Navy's first aircraft carrier formation, received the news that the Magic aircraft carrier's attack fleet was almost wiped out, the second wave of the Daqin Navy's independent fleet attacked the third of the Ice Lion Navy's first aircraft carrier formation. The round of attacks has just ended.

"I really didn't expect that the navy of the Great Qin Kingdom would produce seven or eight crudely modified aircraft carriers, and successfully damaged the first aircraft carrier formation of our Ice Lion Navy. If I hadn't experienced it myself, I wouldn't even believe it. !” Delaware said with a wry smile.

Naciye, the captain of the aircraft carrier Magic, said sadly: "The loss of our first aircraft carrier formation this time is really too great. Although the modified and simple aircraft carriers of the Daqin Navy are not worth mentioning, the carrier-based fighters and fighter jets owned by the Daqin Navy The carrier-based bomber has excellent performance, and the carrier-based aircraft of our navy and the fighter jets of our Ice Lion Air Force are quite far behind the opponent."

Under the three rounds of attacks by the Navy's independent fleet and the Air Force's independent division, the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy already has one super dreadnought battleship, two battlecruisers, two dreadnought battleships, three heavy cruisers, nine light cruisers and Eleven destroyers sank to the bottom of the sea.

Almost all of the surviving aircraft carrier, three super dreadnought battleships, one battlecruiser, three dreadnought battleships, three heavy cruisers, eleven light cruisers and nineteen destroyers of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy Injured, several of the warships were still seriously injured, and basically lost their combat effectiveness temporarily.

More than 90 fighter jets deployed by the Ice Lion Air Force in Manges Harbor, when more than [-] Show Bird fighter jets and more than [-] Goshawk dive bombers from the Air Force Independent Division launched an attack on the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion National Navy , also flew to the battlefield at sea.

However, the more than 90 fighter jets of the Ice Lion Air Force did not play a role in turning the tide. In the air battle with many Xiuniao fighter jets, they were quickly lost.

Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy, sighed and said: "I think the enemy will have a fourth round of attack, let the remaining warships continue to maintain the air defense formation with the Magic aircraft carrier as the core, and keep the magic anyway." No! Without the Magic, our first aircraft carrier formation will be in name only!"

Naciye, the captain of the Magic, hesitated and said: "Commander, several warships in our first aircraft carrier formation are seriously injured, and may no longer be able to retreat northward with the fleet."

Delaware shook his head and said: "Let the officers and soldiers on the warships that cannot retreat immediately evacuate to the top of other ships, and order the evacuated officers and soldiers to open the water inlet valve at the bottom of the warship before evacuating. The warships of our first aircraft carrier formation, You can't cheapen the Daqin Navy like the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen!"

Before Delaware's order was delivered, more than [-] fighter planes from the Independent Division of the Daqin Air Force flew over the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy and launched a fourth round of attacks on it.

The first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy fled all the way to the north, and was constantly attacked by the independent division of the Daqin Air Force and the independent fleet of the Daqin Navy. From time to time, warships of the Ice Lions Navy were sunk.

"Boom—boom—" A heavy cruiser of the Ice Lion Navy had its ammunition detonated, and the power of the explosion instantly blew up the heavy cruiser with a full load of more than [-] tons into several pieces. , quickly disappeared into the sea.

When the sky was getting dark on May 2539, 29 in the divine calendar, the independent fleet of the Great Qin Navy dispatched five waves of attack aircraft groups against the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy, and the independent division of the Great Qin Air Force also attacked the first aircraft carrier of the Ice Lion Navy. The formation launched four waves of attacks.

In the end, the flagship of the Ice Lions Navy's first aircraft carrier formation, the Magic aircraft carrier, was still not kept. After being hit by [-] aerial bombs and six torpedoes, the Magic aircraft carrier rolled over due to severe water ingress and slowly sank into the the bottom of the sea.

The first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy has only one super dreadnought battleship, one dreadnought battleship, one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers, four destroyers and several auxiliary ships. An aircraft carrier formation has been completely disabled after the first battle.

In this naval and air battle, the independent fleet of the Daqin Navy lost a total of 190 carrier-based aircraft, and the independent division of the Daqin Air Force lost [-] four fighters, which means that the Yueyang Front Army only used more than [-] aircraft. At the same price, it almost completely wiped out the first aircraft carrier formation of the ice lion country's most powerful navy.

Compared with the army of the Ice Lion Kingdom, the fighting will of the Ice Lion Kingdom Navy is much weaker. Since the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Kingdom Navy fled in a hurry, the officers and soldiers of the Ice Lion Kingdom Navy on several seriously injured warships did not even have time to withdraw As for other ships, finally a super dreadnought battleship, a heavy cruiser, a light cruiser and two destroyers were forced to land by the super dreadnought battleship Xingchen of the independent fleet of the Great Qin Navy.

The super dreadnought battleship Caiyun captured by the independent fleet has a full load displacement of 21 tons and a maximum speed of 45 knots. It is equipped with four double-mounted 406-fold 45mm main guns and fourteen 150-fold 40mm secondary guns. Guns, twelve double-mounted 20mm anti-aircraft guns, twelve quadruple-mounted [-]mm anti-aircraft guns and twenty anti-aircraft machine guns.

The captured heavy cruiser Wave had a full-load displacement of 32 tons and a top speed of 50 knots. It was equipped with three dual-mounted 234-caliber 45mm main guns, eighteen 150-caliber [-]mm secondary guns and A large number of anti-aircraft weapons.

Ding Haifeng, Commander of the Independent Fleet, looked at the five Ice Lion Navy warships that had lost power in the distance, and said excitedly to Captain Liu Bin of the Xingchen: "We can send a good news to the commander! Wait for the super fearless Caiyun After the battleship and the heavy cruiser Waves are repaired, they can form a heavy firepower squadron with the Star!"

Captain Liu Bin of the Xingchen said with a smile: "I never thought that the attack on the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy would go so smoothly. This is a great victory that will definitely shock the world!"

Ding Haifeng said with a smile on his face: "Our independent fleet has these types of carrier-based aircraft. Even if the aircraft carrier is transformed from a large transport ship and a large passenger ship, there are many defects. Our independent fleet also has the ability to compete with the world's major naval powers The strength of the wrist."

"It seems that we have to urge Minggang Shipyard to rebuild more simple aircraft carriers for our independent fleet!"

Delaware, the commander of the Ice Lions Navy's first aircraft carrier formation, and Naciye, the captain of the Magic aircraft carrier, did not sink to the bottom of the sea with the Magic aircraft carrier.

After determining that the sinking of the USS Magic was unavoidable, Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation, immediately issued an order to abandon the ship, and withdrew to a light cruiser together with the captain of the USS Magic, Naciye.

And the light cruiser where Delaware and Naciye are located is also on the list of surviving warships of the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lion Navy.

Looking at the sparse warships around, Delaware, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation, said bitterly: "With the current strength of the Great Qin Navy and the Great Qin Air Force, our Ice Lion Navy and our Ice Lion Air Force have completely Not an opponent, the next war against the invasion of the Great Qin Kingdom will become very difficult."

Naciye, the captain of the Magic, sighed and asked: "Commander, should we now report the specific loss of our first aircraft carrier formation to the cabinet and the Ministry of the Navy?"

"Let's report! Our first aircraft carrier formation has been disabled. I don't know when it will recover."

At around eight o’clock in the evening on May 29th, at the Prime Minister’s Mansion in Ice Lion City, Admiral Mochka of the Ice Lion Country said in a sad voice to Prime Minister Zahar: “Prime Minister, the commander of the first aircraft carrier formation, Dela Wa sent a telegram that there was only one super dreadnought battleship, one dreadnought battleship, one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers and four destroyers left in the entire fleet. More than 3 naval officers and soldiers were killed or missing. The worst defeat for the Ice Lions Navy!"

Prime Minister Zahar gritted his teeth and said: "Since the navy of the Great Qin Kingdom can use some large transport ships and large passenger ships to convert them into aircraft carriers, so can our Ice Lion Country. I will immediately let the major shipyards in our Ice Lion Country , Transform a batch of aircraft carriers and deliver them to the Navy!"

After the first aircraft carrier formation of the Ice Lions Navy suffered an almost devastating blow, the overall strength of the Ice Lions Navy suddenly dropped a lot. The main ship of the entire Ice Lions Navy was left with only one large aircraft carrier, Three medium-sized aircraft carriers, six super dreadnought battleships, five battlecruisers, eleven dreadnought battleships, and nine heavy cruisers are equivalent to losing the ranking of the world's third navy, and even No.4 can hardly be ranked. up.

In addition to the four major powers in this world, there are several countries that rank in the second echelon of strength. Among them, the Molang Kingdom, which was also established by the wolf tribe, has a rather impressive navy, which has always been ranked among the world's navies. fifth place.

After suffering heavy losses, the ice lion country's navy is no more powerful than the black wolf country's navy.

Admiral Mochka said helplessly: "Prime Minister, even if several large shipyards in China can transform a batch of simple aircraft carriers, our navy does not have enough carrier-based aircraft to equip these simple aircraft carriers!"

Due to the confrontation with the independent division of the Daqin Air Force, the Ice Lion Air Force lost too many fighters, and many domestic aircraft manufacturers in the Ice Lion Country rushed to work day and night, and they could not make up for the lost speed of the Ice Lion Air Force. The navy's carrier-based aircraft are also produced by these aircraft manufacturers.

Prime Minister Zahar immediately said: "I will order several large aircraft manufacturers to assign part of the production share to the Navy, and several other large aircraft manufacturers are expanding their production capacity. Much faster."

Admiral Mochka pondered for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, the situation in our Ice Lion Country is very bad. If this continues, the areas captured by the Great Qin and Yueyang Front Army in our Ice Lion Country will definitely not only have the three southern regions. states."

"Marshal Mochka, what good advice do you have?"

"Prime Minister, presumably other countries are unwilling to see the Great Qin Country invade our Ice Lion Country. After all, the Great Qin Country is a country formed by human beings. Can our Ice Lion Country contact other countries, such as the Red Tiger Country, The East Bear Country and the Blood Wolf Country will jointly deal with the Great Qin Country, a human country!"

"Well——I have also considered this method, but if we want countries such as Chihu Country, Dongxiong Country, and Blood Wolf Country to join this war with Great Qin, our Ice Lion Country must come up with something that satisfies these countries. benefit."

　I wish you all a happy Chinese New Year and all the best!
