Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 357 The Miracle Didn't Happen
In the early morning of November [-]th, the four-nation naval joint ship that gave up attacking Minggang Port came to the outside of Lengshan Port, which is about [-] kilometers away from Minggang Port.

At this time, the size of the joint fleet of the four navies has shrunk a lot. In the confrontation with the independent fleet and the independent division of the air force, as well as the landing operations that stormed Minggang Port, the losses of the combined fleet of the four navies can be described as very heavy.

As the most powerful Red Tiger Navy in the combined fleet of the four navies, only two large aircraft carriers, one small aircraft carrier, six super dreadnought battleships, two battlecruisers, five dreadnought battleships, and four Heavy cruisers, sixteen light cruisers and twenty-six destroyers.

You must know that the Red Tiger Navy initially had [-] regular aircraft carriers and [-] escort aircraft carriers joining the joint fleet of the four navies, but now there are only three aircraft carriers left, and all of them were injured, and other capital ships were also lost. More than two-thirds.

As the combined fleet of the four navies, the Blood Wolf Navy, which is second only to the Red Tiger Navy, now only has one large aircraft carrier, one escort aircraft carrier, four super dreadnought battleships, two battlecruisers, three Dreadnought battleships, two heavy cruisers, seven light cruisers and fourteen destroyers, the losses were also very heavy.

The Ice Lions Navy still has a large aircraft carrier, a super dreadnought battleship, a dreadnought battleship, a light cruiser and two destroyers left.

The East Xiong Kingdom Navy has only one medium-sized aircraft carrier, one super dreadnought battleship, one dreadnought battleship, one heavy cruiser, two light cruisers and two destroyers.

On the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Violet of the Red Tiger Navy, Admiral Longkot of the Red Tiger Navy said hoarsely to the other naval commanders of the three countries: "Now we are about seven weeks away from the Lengshan Port of the Great Qin Kingdom. Ten kilometers, let the army prepare to launch a landing operation!"

Originally, the fleet commanders of the navies of the four countries gathered on the aircraft carrier of the Red Tiger Navy's No. Hit by bombs and torpedoes, although the USS Sturdy aircraft carrier did not sink in the end, it was also seriously injured, and its flight deck could no longer allow carrier-based aircraft to take off and land.

And the fleet commanders of the four navies had already been transferred to the super dreadnought battleship Violet of the Red Tiger Navy before the injury of the aircraft carrier Sturdy was not too serious.

The Violet is the last super dreadnought battleship of the Red Tiger Navy, with a full load displacement of 45 tons, equipped with four triple-mounted 432-fold 50mm main guns, and eighteen 155-fold 22.5mm secondary guns. The speed can reach [-] knots.

Admiral Delaware of the Ice Lion Kingdom said with a sad face: "The losses of our navies of the four countries are really too great. The army of the Ice Lion Kingdom, the Army of the East Bear Kingdom, and the Army of the Red Tiger Kingdom also suffered great losses. Our Will the Allied Forces of the Four Nations still have the ability to open up another battlefield in the northeast of the Great Qin Kingdom?"

In the process of rushing to Cold Mountain Port, the joint fleet of the four navies encountered ten rounds of air strikes from the independent fleet and the independent air force division. A considerable part of the aerial bombs and torpedoes were sent to the numerous transport ships carrying the Ice Lion, Dongxiong, and Chihu armies.

In these ten rounds of air strikes, at least nearly 13 transport ships carrying army troops were sunk, causing the three armies of Ice Lion, Dongxiong, and Chihu to lose about 27 people. Now there are only 80 people left in the Ice Lion, Dongxiong, and Chihu armies that follow the combined fleet of the four navies.

In such a short period of time, there was a third of the loss, which made the morale of the army troops of the three countries very low. What's more, because the joint fleet of the four navies also suffered heavy losses, almost in the next landing operation, the enemy launched a landing The armies of the three countries can not provide too strong artillery support and air fire cover.

Marshal Fairford of the Blood Wolf Country said with a sigh: "Now we have only seven aircraft carriers left in the navies of the four countries, and several of them have basically lost their combat effectiveness, and the number of carrier-based aircraft that can take off is less than seventy. , and the Great Qin Yueyang Front Army will definitely deploy a lot of fighters in the area of ​​​​Lengshan Port. I feel that with the current strength of our combined naval fleet of the four countries, it may not be successful to storm Lengshan Port. The loss of our combined naval fleet of the four countries is indeed It's too big, oh-"

Admiral Withertum of the Eastern Xiong Kingdom is more determined to attack Cold Mountain Port, "We have already paid such a high price for the navies of the four countries. If we can't achieve more achievements, the four of us will face considerable difficulties after returning home." Therefore, I think we must follow the original plan and let our East Bear Army, Ice Lion Army, and Red Tiger Army launch a landing operation on Lengshan Port, and we must take Lengshan Port at all costs.”

Withertum's words made the faces of the other three commanders turn serious.

Admiral Long Kete of the Red Tiger Navy coughed and said: "Although our submarine forces of the Red Tiger Navy and the Blood Wolf Navy severely damaged the Daqin Navy Fleet belonging to the Yueyang Front Army and sank more than a dozen ships of the other side. Aircraft carrier, but these achievements alone cannot make up for the huge losses of our navies of the four countries. I agree to capture Lengshan Port at all costs, otherwise I really cannot explain to the cabinet after returning to China."

Admiral Delaware of the Ice Lion Country said hesitantly: "According to the information we have in the Ice Lion Country, the Great Qin and Yueyang Front Army built 24 forts in Lengshan Port and deployed many large-caliber coastal defense guns. If we storm Lengshan Port , our Ice Lion, Dongxiong, and Chihu Army troops will probably suffer very heavy losses."

Lengshan Port is the largest civilian port in Yuan'an Province. After the Yueyang Front Army captured Lengshan Port, it did not completely close Lengshan Port. Therefore, the Yueyang Front Army built 24 forts in Lengshan Port. The intelligence department of the Lion Kingdom.

Marshal Long Kete of the Red Tiger Kingdom picked up the binoculars, looked in the direction of Lengshan Port, and then said in a deep voice: "No matter what, we have to try and order the army to prepare to land at Lengshan Port!"

As soon as Long Kete's voice fell, a large number of fighter jets and bombers from the Air Force's independent division appeared in the sky above Lengshan Harbor, and quickly flew towards the joint fleet of the four navies.

Long Kete's face changed accordingly, but he did not cancel the previous order, "Let all the carrier-based fighter jets that can take off be lifted into the air, and all warships maintain an air defense formation, and tell the officers of the army forces of the three countries that this battle will advance and never retreat! "

The Air Force Independent Division of the Yueyang Front Army learned that the joint fleet of the four navies was likely to launch a landing operation on Lengshan Port. In a short period of time, eight full-staffed air force regiments were assembled at various airports near Lengshan Port.

According to the establishment of the independent division of the Air Force, each air force regiment has 72 Xiubird fighters and 36 Goshawk dive bombers. Eight fully staffed air regiments add up to 570 six Xiubird fighters and 280 eight Goshawks. Dive bomber.

When the joint fleet of the four navies approached Lengshan Port, more than 800 fighter planes from the eight air regiments of the Air Force Independent Division all dispatched, and first launched an air strike on the combined fleet of the four navies outside Lengshan Port.

The army units of Ice Lion, East Bear, and Red Tiger launched a landing operation on the port of Lengshan Port during the air strike of the Yueyang Front Air Force Independent Division. The nearly 24 large-caliber coastal defenses of the [-] forts in Lengshan Port As the landing craft carrying the Ice Lion, Dongxiong, and Chihu Army troops approached the port, they launched a fierce shelling.

This landing operation lasted for a full day and night. In the early morning of November [-]th, Admiral Long Kete of the Red Tiger Kingdom had to issue an order to stop attacking the port of Lengshan Port.

During the one-day and one-night forced landing operations, the army troops of the Ice Lions, Dongxiong, and Red Tigers lost about 20, but they did not capture any of the forts in Lengshan Port.

In fact, if the attack continues, although the army forces of these three countries have suffered heavy losses, they can barely hold on, but the joint fleet of the four navies can't bear it.

Throughout the day on November [-]th, the eight air regiments of the independent air force division of the Yueyang Front launched a total of nine waves of air strikes against the joint fleet of the four navies. Other places flew to various airports near Lengshan Port, and participated in the four waves of air strikes against the joint fleet of the four navies that afternoon.

Although the various air regiments of the Air Force Independent Division suffered heavy losses in multiple air strikes, they also dealt a devastating blow to the joint fleet of the four navies.

As of the evening of November [-]th, there were not many warships remaining in the joint fleet of the four navies. A large number of warships were bombed and sunk in nine waves of air strikes.

At this time, there were only four super dreadnought battleships, one battlecruiser, two dreadnought battleships, one heavy cruiser, five light cruisers and eleven destroyers left in the Red Tiger Navy.

Only two super dreadnought battleships, one battlecruiser, one dreadnought battleship, two light cruisers, and six destroyers remained in the blood wolf navy.

Only one super dreadnought battleship and one destroyer are left in the Ice Lions Navy.

The East Xiong Kingdom Navy has only one super dreadnought battleship, one dreadnought battleship, one light cruiser and one destroyer left.

Under the key care of the various air regiments of the Air Force Independent Division of the Yueyang Front Army, the remaining seven aircraft carriers of the combined fleet of the four navies were all sent to the bottom of the sea in the nine waves of air strikes, and the remaining dozens of warships of the combined fleet of the four navies were also sent to the bottom of the sea. Almost everyone was wounded.

Originally, after the nine waves of air strikes, the fleet commanders of the four navies knew clearly that if the combined fleet of the four navies continued, perhaps the only way left was to destroy the entire army.

After all, if it wasn't for the darkening sky, the enemy's attack fleet could continue to launch the next wave, or even the next wave of air strikes, until all the remaining dozens of warships in the joint fleet of the four navies were sunk.

At around [-] o'clock in the evening on November [-]th, Admiral Delaware of the Ice Lion Kingdom suggested to Marshal Longkett of the Red Tiger Kingdom in a deep voice: "Marshal Longkett, we can no longer take any chances. Yes, the enemy planes that attacked us today, although they suffered a lot from the anti-aircraft firepower of the warships of the joint fleet of our four countries, there are at least hundreds of them surviving. Once tomorrow dawns, these hundreds of enemy planes will , launch an air strike against the combined fleet of our four navies again, then the combined fleet of our four navies will really be wiped out."

Admiral Delaware of the Ice Lion Country had a very ugly face at this time. The Ice Lion Country finally got a large solid-class aircraft carrier from the Red Tiger Navy. The bombers were sent to the bottom of the sea.

Moreover, the Ice Lions Navy had suffered a lot in the confrontation with the Yueyang Front Army before. As a result, the first aircraft carrier formation rebuilt by the Ice Lions Navy this time joined the combined fleet of the four navies with a large aircraft carrier, two super dreadnought battleships, and two There are four battlecruisers, two dreadnought battleships, two heavy cruisers, six light cruisers and eight destroyers, and now there are only one super dreadnought battleship and one destroyer left.

This also means that the Ice Lions Navy's first aircraft carrier formation, which has just been rebuilt, has once again changed to exist in name only, and the situation is even worse than last time.

Marshal Long Kete of the Red Tiger Nation immediately said in a hoarse voice: "Since the sky has darkened, there is no need for our combined naval fleet of the four countries to retreat in a hurry. If we can continue the landing operation tonight, if the army forces of our three countries can capture the port of Cold Mountain Harbor, we still have a chance to turn defeat into victory."

East Xiong Kingdom Admiral Withertum gritted his teeth and said: "The battle has already been fought to this point, I am really not reconciled to fleeing in such a state of embarrassment, why not put all your eggs in one basket and let the army forces of our three countries attack again?" One night, let’s see if we can capture the port of Lengshan Port, if we still can’t take it overnight, we can only admit defeat.”

Admiral Ferford of the Blood Wolf Nation immediately suggested: "Anyway, the remaining warships of our four-nation navy are unable to support the three-nation army troops who landed in combat. It is better for the warships of our four-nation navy to stay away from Lengshan Harbor first. It is still impossible to conquer the port of Lengshan Port at night, and the navies of our four countries will not really be wiped out tomorrow morning."

In the end, the fleet commanders of the other three navies listened to Fairfort's suggestion and led the remaining dozens of warships of the navies of the four countries to evacuate the waters outside the port of Lengshan Harbor at night.

However, the miracle did not happen. The armies of the Red Tiger, Ice Lion, and Dongxiong stormed the port of Lengshan Harbor overnight, but did not make any progress. In addition, the remaining warships of the navies of the four countries also withdrew. The army forces of these three countries , can only choose to give up the landing operation on the port of Lengshan Port.
