Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 363 Revising the Battle Plan
Just when the navies of the 24 countries of the Orc Alliance gathered in the Vina Port of the Ice Lion Country, in an office of the National Defense Force Headquarters in Yueyang City, Su Yi said to Sun Guodong, the Deputy Commander of the National Defense Forces, and Liu Pengbin, the Chief of Staff, with a serious face: "The joint fleet of 24 navies of the Orc Alliance will launch an attack on Manges Harbor in the near future. I don't know if the navy and air force of our National Defense Forces can stop this huge fleet with hundreds of warships and tens of thousands of carrier-based aircraft. ?”

Chief of the General Staff Liu Pengbin said loudly: "Commander, now a large aircraft carrier and 31 simple aircraft carriers of the Independent Fleet have arrived at Manges Port. These [-] aircraft carriers have more than [-] carrier-based aircraft. The Navy has also placed more than [-] spare carrier-based aircraft in several temporary field airports near Manges Port. In addition, the Air Force has assembled [-] full-staffed air divisions in Manges Port. These fifteen air divisions together have more than [-] fighter planes, which is enough to cooperate with the army to defend Manges Harbor!"

After the Yueyang Front Army was renamed the Great Qin National Defense Army, the independent air force division of the former Yueyang Front Army was divided into 36 air force divisions by Su Yi. Each air force division had five air force regiments, and each air force regiment had two fighter brigades and one bomber brigade. Each fighter brigade has 36 Xiubird fighters, and each bomber brigade has 36 Goshawk dive bombers. In this way, each air division has 360 Xiubird fighters and 180 Goshawk dive bombers.

Thanks to the round-the-clock production of several large aircraft factories in the world on the side of the Tang Empire, the 36 air divisions of the Daqin National Defense Force are almost always at full strength. There are spare fighters coming in. The number of spare fighters in the Great Qin National Defense Force now exceeds [-], and it is more than enough to form ten new air divisions.

Deputy Commander Sun Guodong went on to say: "Currently the entire No.12 Army has taken over the Manges Port area. In addition, the No.30 Second Army, the No.30 Fifth Army, the No.70 First Army, and the No.90 First Army have been temporarily organized. .[-] The Second Army, the Provisional [-]th Army, and the Provisional [-]th Army, a total of six temporary armies have also entered the Manges Port area, which means that our National Defense Forces have gathered nearly a hundred soldiers in the Manges Port area. Wan's army, if necessary, can send an additional group army and nine temporary army units to the Manges Harbor area in a short period of time, and the army strength to defend Manges Harbor should be sufficient."

Today, the 230 and six independent army-level units of the Great Qin National Defense Army are still named temporarily, and they belong to the 36 and six armies of the 210 group armies.

The words of Chief of Staff Liu Pengbin and Deputy Commander Sun Guodong did not ease the expression on Su Yi's face. Su Yi said in a deep voice: "This battle against the combined fleet of the 24 navies of the Orc Alliance in Manges Port can be said to be It is related to the direction of the entire war. Once our Daqin National Defense Army loses in this war, the situation of this war may take a turn for the worse. Therefore, no matter what, the army of the Orc Alliance cannot be successfully landed in Manges Port! My suggestion is Shouldn't we send a few more air divisions to the Manges Harbor area?"

Chief of the General Staff Liu Pengbin pondered for a while and said: "Commander, our national defense force now has a total of 36 air divisions. This time, we have tried our best to gather 5000 air divisions in the Manges Port area. After all, we are on land. Several battlefields in China also require a large number of fighters from the Air Force to cooperate in combat, and more than [-] fighters from [-] air divisions, plus more than [-] carrier-based aircraft from the Navy, should be enough to control the air supremacy in the Manges Harbor area. .”

Su Yi immediately said: "According to the information obtained by the Intelligence Bureau, the warships of the combined fleet of the 24 countries of the Orc Alliance this time are as many as hundreds of warships, and these hundreds of warships are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft weapons. The thousands of transport ships of the army are also equipped with some anti-aircraft weapons, and the tasks of our air force fighter planes and naval carrier-based aircraft, in addition to fighting for air supremacy, also need to attack hundreds of enemy warships and thousands of transport ships , when the time comes, the losses of Air Force fighter planes and Navy carrier-based planes will definitely be very large."

After a pause, Su Yi continued: "Since the Navy can gather more than [-] spare carrier-based aircraft near Manges Port, I think the Air Force can also transfer some of its spare fighters to Manges Harbor." In the Port of Manges area, I remember that the Air Force has spare fighter planes, but there are more than [-]. If it is not convenient to command, the Air Force can set up several new air divisions to rush to the Port of Manges area. Anyway, the fighter planes and pilots are all off the shelf."

Because clone soldiers and biochemical soldiers can enter the world of Daqin through the Stargate, the Daqin National Defense Force under Su Yi has enough pilots, and almost all of them are ace pilots. For fighter jets, it can be said that it is very simple to form several new air divisions.

Chief of the General Staff Liu Pengbin nodded and said: "Sun Peng has been arguing these days to form a few more air divisions to deal with the increasing number of Orc Alliance fighters on the battlefield, so why not take advantage of this time to guard Manges Port, Form four new air divisions, and transfer all four air divisions to the airport in the Manges port area."

Sun Peng, the former division commander of the Air Force Independent Division of the Yueyang Front Army, has now been promoted to the commander of the Air Force Unit of the Great Qin National Defense Army.

Su Yi waved his hand: "Anyway, we still have a steady stream of fighters being produced, and now the Air Force has more than [-] spare fighters. In my opinion, we should directly establish ten new air divisions, and then use these ten air divisions Immediately transfer to the Manges Port area. Today is March [-]. I request that ten newly formed air divisions must be stationed in the Manges Port area before March [-]. I wonder if it can be done? "

Chief of the General Staff Liu Pengbin hesitated for a moment before saying in a positive tone: "Pilots and fighters are ready-made. As long as our National Defense Forces headquarters gives orders, ten new air divisions can be formed immediately, and the Manges Port area will be built again. It should not be a big problem if we have built a large number of temporary field airports and stationed more than 5000 fighter planes in ten air divisions. However, the production of spare fighter planes will have to be further strengthened. The upcoming battle of the US Navy's combined fleet will definitely cause great losses to the Air Force's fighter planes, and even the Navy's carrier-based aircraft."

Su Yi said: "There is no problem with the production of Air Force fighters and Navy carrier-based aircraft. Before the end of this month, more than [-] new Air Force fighters and more than [-] new Navy carrier-based aircraft will be delivered to us. Daqin Air Force and Daqin Navy."

Chief of the General Staff Liu Pengbin nodded and said: "Commander, rest assured, before March [-]th, ten newly formed air divisions will definitely be able to enter the Manges Port area!"

Su Yi touched his chin suddenly and said: "Since we have gathered so many Air Force fighter planes and Navy carrier-based planes at many airports in the Manges Harbor area, the more than 31 aircraft on the 24 aircraft carriers of the Independent Fleet The role of carrier-based aircraft in defending Manges Port and attacking the joint fleet of the 24 navies of the Orc Alliance is not too great, so can the independent fleet be withdrawn from Manges Port? After all, we are the Great Qin It is not easy to save such a family fortune, if the independent fleet stays in Manges Port, it will definitely be the focus of attack by the tens of thousands of carrier-based aircraft of the joint fleet of the [-] navies of the Orc Alliance!"

At present, the Daqin Navy has a total of six fleets, namely the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, the Third Fleet, the Fourth Fleet, the Fifth Fleet and the Independent Fleet. The first five fleets are all naval forces controlled by the former Daqin Defense Ministry. However, these five fleets add up to only more than [-] warships, and most of them are torpedo boats and gunboats. There are only one warship with some combat effectiveness, one dreadnought battleship, one heavy cruiser, one light cruiser, two destroyers and three warships. Submarines, these eight warships were managed by the Daqin Navy under the attack of the Ice Lion Navy, and tried their best to preserve them.

After the five fleets controlled by the former Daqin Ministry of National Defense surrendered to Su Yi, Su Yi has not yet had time to completely reorganize them, so the capital ships of Su Yi's navy are still concentrated in the independent fleet.

Su Yi's words made Deputy Commander Sun Guodong and Chief of Staff Liu Pengbin's eyes brighten. Deputy Commander Sun Guodong immediately agreed and said: "Although the strength of the independent fleet is already good, compared with the joint fleet of the 24 navies of the Orc Alliance, But the difference is too much. According to the information obtained by the Intelligence Bureau, the Red Tiger Navy alone has dispatched ten regular aircraft carriers, 66 escort aircraft carriers, eight super dreadnought battleships, four battlecruisers, fourteen Dreadnought battleships, forty pre-dreadnought battleships, twenty heavy cruisers, thirty armored cruisers, forty light cruisers, forty protected cruisers, sixty destroyers and forty submarines, joined the Orc Alliance The combined fleet of 24 navies."

After a pause, Sun Guodong continued: "Actually, our independent fleet would have difficulty dealing with the warships of the Red Tiger Navy alone, not to mention the navies of 23 other countries. To deal with this combined fleet of the Orc Alliance, we mainly rely on taking off from land. The air force fighter planes and the navy's spare carrier-based aircraft allow the independent fleet to evacuate Manges Harbor, and the defense of Manges Harbor and the attack on the combined fleet of the Orc Alliance should not have a great impact."

Chief of the General Staff Liu Pengbin then said: "I agree with the commander's idea. Since we have gathered enough aircraft in the Manges Harbor area, there is no need for an independent fleet to make huge sacrifices to defend the Manges Harbor area." .”

"Since both of you have no objection to this, then immediately revise the battle plan for defending Manges Harbor!"

On the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship Thorn, the new flagship of the Independent Fleet, Liu Bin, the new captain of the Thorn, said to Ding Haifeng, the commander of the Independent Fleet, with a look of unwillingness: "Commander, our Independent Fleet has prepared for this battle. After such a long time, why did the commander-in-chief let our independent fleet evacuate Manges Harbor at this time? You must know that the joint fleet of 24 navies of the Orc Alliance is rushing towards Manges Harbor aggressively!"

The Thorn was originally the last super dreadnought battleship built by the Red Tiger Navy. It belongs to the fifth ship of the Violet class. The Red Tiger Navy has built a total of five Violet class super dreadnought battleships.

The Thorn super dreadnought battleship has a full load displacement of 45 tons. It is equipped with four triple-mounted 432-caliber 50mm main guns and eighteen 155-caliber 22.5mm secondary guns. The maximum speed can reach [-] knots.

The Thorn was bombed and sunk outside Minggang Port. Since the sinking location belonged to a shoal near an island, the Thorn was finally salvaged and repaired at the Minggang Shipyard.

After the Thorn joined the Independent Fleet, Ding Haifeng, the commander of the Independent Fleet, immediately made the Thorn the new flagship of the entire Independent Fleet. The new captain of the Thorn, and the name Thorn was retained by the Independent Fleet.

Ding Haifeng, the commander of the independent fleet, said with a wry smile: "The commander-in-chief was worried that our independent fleet would suffer too much loss in this war, so he asked our independent fleet to withdraw from Manges Harbor and become the general reserve force for this battle."

The captain of the Thorn, Liu Bin, sighed and said, "Fortunately, we have placed more than [-] spare carrier-based aircraft in several temporary field airports near Manges Port, otherwise our navy will We can only watch the Air Force sing a one-man show."

Ding Haifeng, commander of the independent fleet, said immediately: "The telegram from the headquarters of the National Defense Forces also stated that the Air Force will soon form ten new air divisions, and these ten new air divisions will also be stationed in the Manges Harbor area. In this way, The air force will gather 25 air divisions in the small Manges Harbor area. With such a powerful air force, the role of our independent fleet staying in Manges Harbor is indeed of little use. Instead, it will become an orc if it stays The focus of the combined fleet attack of the 24-nation alliance's navies."

Liu Bin said helplessly: "According to the establishment of the Air Force, the 25 Air Force divisions have a total of [-] Xiuniao fighter jets and [-] Goshawk dive bombers, plus our navy's reserve of more than [-] Bamboo Dragonflies. Carrier-based fighter jets, more than a thousand Black Butterfly carrier-based bombers, and more than a thousand Moth carrier-based torpedo bombers, our independent fleet really does not need to take the risk of participating in this war, but I can't participate in a war of this scale. It's a bit of a pity."

"Compared with the joint fleet of the 24 navies of the Orc Alliance, our independent fleet has a huge gap in strength. The commander-in-chief also wants to preserve the strength of our independent fleet. After all, our independent fleet almost represents the entire strength of the Great Qin Navy. Alas -"
