Rise of the Overlord

Chapter 261 The Surprising Soldiers Appearing Suddenly

The Royal Datang Navy has been preparing for such a long time in Huifeng Port. How can the joint fleet of the three navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi leave easily? In the southeast direction of the joint fleet of the three navies, an unusually large fleet appeared.

And this huge fleet that appeared was composed of the First Fleet, the Second Fleet, the Seventh Fleet, the two teams of the Fourth Fleet, and the two teams of the Sixth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty. It has 190 nine super dreadnought battleships, 180 eight battlecruisers and [-] dreadnought battleships.

Seeing the main force of the Tang Royal Navy appearing in the distance, the three commanders of the combined fleet of the three navies looked at each other, and their faces were not very good-looking.

The commander of the Royal Navy of Inlobal, Petru, said to the other two in a deep voice: "The combined capital ships of our three navies have sunk nearly a hundred capital ships in the six waves of air strikes by the Datang Air Force. The surviving main force Many warships were also seriously injured, and the fighter planes of the Datang Air Force are likely to launch a seventh wave of air strikes, what do you think the joint fleet of the three navies should do?"

Commander of the Sharad Royal Navy, Janice said decisively: "If we just escape like this, some capital ships whose speed is seriously affected will not escape the fate of being captured by the Datang Navy. In this way, the loss of the combined fleet of our three navies will It will increase a lot. Instead of this, it is better to fight with the Datang Navy. Even if our combined fleet of the three navies has been bombed by the Datang Air Force and sank nearly a hundred battleships, in terms of overall strength, our combined fleet of the three navies is still no better than the combined fleet of the three countries. The Datang Navy in Huifeng Port is on duty!"

Genis was very unwilling at this time. Counting the battle with the Datang Navy this time, it was the fourth time that Gennis led the Sharad Navy to fight against Su Yi's naval fleet. Would he have to taste the bitterness of failure again?

Noomi Royal Navy Commander Porfi hesitated for a moment and said: "Our Noomi Royal Navy is not afraid to compete with the Datang Navy, but what about the fighters of the Datang Air Force? During the bloody battle with the Datang Navy, the Datang Air Force took the opportunity to continuously launch wave after wave of air strikes, and our combined fleet of the three navies will have no hope of winning."

Although Porfi was not willing to withdraw like this, he knew that according to the current situation, the combined fleet of the three navies was indeed not suitable for continuing a decisive battle with the main force of the Datang Navy.

Petrou, commander of the Royal Navy of Inlobal, hesitated and said: "It is not possible for the combined fleet of our three navies to withdraw if they want to. Let some armored cruisers and light cruisers drag the seriously injured capital ship to retreat first. , the capital ships that can continue to fight are behind the formation, we can only retreat while fighting, what do you think?"

Janice and Porfi looked at each other, and they couldn't think of a better way, so they both nodded.

On the bridge of the Bavarian-class super dreadnought battleship Yongxiang, the flagship of the First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Datang Empire, Zhang Qihui, the deputy commander of the Royal Navy, put down his binoculars, turned his head and said to Yuan Fan, the commander of the First Fleet: "Order all the teams to join forces! Charge up with full horsepower, try to entangle the main force of the combined fleet of the three navies, and create opportunities for the Royal Air Force to continue bombing, the Royal Air Force is the protagonist today!"

The First Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty consists of four capital ships. The first battleship consists of 28 Japanese Nagato-class super dreadnought battleships and [-] British Hood-class battlecruisers. The second battleship consists of [-] ships Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships and [-] British Hood-class battlecruisers, the third battleship consists of [-] Nelson-class super dreadnought battleships and [-] Dingyuan-class battlecruisers, and the fourth battleship consists of [-] Bavarian-class battlecruisers. Class super dreadnought battleship and [-] Dingyuan class battlecruisers.

The Second Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty consists of three battleships. The first battleship consists of 36 Zhenyuan-class super dreadnought battleships and ten King Kong-class battlecruisers. The second battleship consists of [-] Queen Elizabeth-class super dreadnoughts. Composed of battleships and ten King Kong-class battlecruisers, the third battle group consists of eighteen Vengeance-class super dreadnought battleships and ten King Kong-class battlecruisers.

Yuan Fan, the commander of the First Fleet, said loudly: "Don't worry, the deputy commander in chief, the combined fleet of the three navies will not escape this time!"

After Zhang Qihui's order was issued, several faster battleship battleships of the Datang Royal Navy quickly rushed towards the retreating combined fleet of the three navies. There are 28 Colorado-class super dreadnought battleships and [-] Hood-class battlecruisers of the Second Squadron under the First Fleet of the Datang Royal Navy, and [-] British Hood-class battlecruisers. Almost at the same time, a group of super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers behind the combined fleet of the three navies launched a salvo of main guns.

Immediately after the combined fleet of the three navies, the super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers also launched a counterattack with their main guns, and the sound of rumbling guns suddenly sounded on the sea.

And just as the battleships of the two sides exchanged fire, hundreds of fighter planes from the Royal Air Force of the Great Tang flew over from the direction of Huifeng Port, and the Royal Air Force of the Great Tang launched its seventh wave of air strikes on the combined fleet of the three navies.

Facing the joint attack of the Royal Datang Air Force and the Royal Datang Navy, the navies of Inroba, Sharad, and Noomi were very tenacious. The more than 300 submarines of the three navies even went under the sea to fight against the pursuers. The Datang Royal Navy launched an attack. Although it did not cause much damage to the main fleets of the Datang Royal Navy, it slowed down the pursuit speed of the several main fleets of the Datang Royal Navy.

On the evening of September 14th, after the No. 15 attack aircraft group of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty evacuated from the sky above the combined fleet of the three navies, the three commanders, Petrou, Genis, and Porfi, were slightly relieved. At this time, the sky had already darkened, and the three commanders knew that the fighter planes of the Datang Royal Air Force should not be able to continue to launch the No.[-] wave of air strikes.

But at this time, the faces of the three people did not have a trace of relaxation, but were full of bitterness. The combined fleet of the three navies suffered a terrible loss in waves of air strikes by the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty.

Since the combined fleet of the three navies has been maintaining a retreating posture, coupled with the stubborn resistance of the battleships and submarine forces staying behind, it has always maintained a certain distance from the main force of the pursuing Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty.

This also made the combined fleet of the three navies face the pursuit of the main force of the Datang Royal Navy, and the losses caused were not large.

However, the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty, who followed like a shadow, continued to launch wave after wave of bombing. Almost every wave of air strikes could sink many capital ships of the three navies.

From the beginning of the seventh wave of air strikes to the end of the No. 14 air strikes, more than a hundred capital ships of the joint fleet of the three navies were sunk.

At this time, the three commanders of the joint fleet of the three navies completely lost the idea of ​​continuing a decisive battle with the main force of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty. Now the three of them just want to bring more warships of their own country back home safely.

On the bridge of the super dreadnought battleship HMS Princess Alice, the flagship of the Royal Inlobal Navy, Petelu, the commander of the Royal Inlobal Navy, said sadly: "It is finally going to be dark, and it will be blown up by the Datang Air Force. , our combined fleet of the three navies was bombed and collapsed."

The Princess Alice was relatively lucky today. During the next eight waves of bombing, the Princess Alice was only hit by an 800-kilogram aerial bomb, and still did not cause too serious injuries. At this moment, Princess Alice The five twin-mounted 343mm main guns of the USS are still intact, and the speed of the Princess Alice has not been affected in any way.

Noomi Royal Navy Commander Porfi said with a wry smile: "We should take advantage of the night to get out of the battle with the Datang Navy as soon as possible, and leave Huifeng Port as far as possible. I don't want to see those from the Datang Air Force again." There's a bomber!"

After listening to the words of the other two commanders, Genis, Commander of the Sharad Royal Navy, also said decisively: "Our navies of the three countries have gathered a total of 580 capital ships this time, and now there are [-] capital ships sunk by the Datang Air Force. We can only retreat first and then talk about it.”

As soon as Janis finished speaking, an officer of the Inlobal Navy on the bridge of the Princess Alice ran to the Inlobal Royal Navy Commander Peter with a telegram in his hand, "Commander, In front of the retreat of our three navies, another huge fleet suddenly appeared, and this fleet is also under the banner of the Datang Navy!"

The words of the Yingluoba naval officer immediately changed the faces of Petrou, Genis, and Porfi. Petrou couldn't help but exclaimed: "Where did this fleet of the Datang Navy come from?" from?"

It turned out that the Datang Navy fleet that suddenly appeared was the temporary fleet of the Datang Royal Navy that had just been established.

The ten super dreadnought battleships, 24 battlecruisers and 140 destroyers of the Datang Royal Navy's provisional fleet were all purchased by Su Yi from the system mall just now. According to the order of Zhang Qihui, the deputy commander of the Datang Royal Navy, The provisional fleet left Huifeng Port first, and ambushed in the depths of the ocean, waiting to cut off the retreat of the joint fleet of the three navies of Yingluoba, Sharad, and Noomi.

With the help of the Royal Air Force of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang Qihui, the deputy commander of the Royal Navy, was sure of victory. That's why he arranged a temporary fleet of surprise troops in order to expand the results of the battle. Now the surprise troops really worked.

After the temporary fleet appeared, the combined fleet of the three navies had no choice but to bite the bullet and go forward. In fact, even if the combined fleet of the three navies suffered a lot at this time, relying on the strength of the temporary fleet, it was impossible to stop the combined fleet of the three navies from retreating. However, if we slightly hinder the retreat speed of the joint fleet of the three navies, the temporary fleet can still do it.

Due to the obstruction of the temporary fleet, several main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty and the combined fleet of the three navies quickly narrowed the distance between each other, and the battle at sea suddenly became fierce again.

"Boom—boom—boom—" A Noomi Navy Tengyun-class super dreadnought battleship with a full load displacement of more than 406 tons, after being hit by multiple large-caliber shells in succession, a tank with [-]mm shells in reserve There was a martyrdom explosion in the ammunition warehouse, and after a violent explosion, the Tengyun-class super dreadnought battleship was blown into two pieces and quickly sank to the sea.

Witnessing the Tengyun-class super dreadnought battleship being blown into two pieces, Commander Porfi of the Noomi Royal Navy couldn't help saying to the other two commanders: "We can't continue fighting like this, we have to choose to break through Otherwise, our entire United Fleet will be dumped by the Datang Navy!"

The current time has reached more than [-] o'clock in the evening on September [-]th, and it has only been more than two hours since the appearance of the temporary fleet of the Royal Navy of the Tang Dynasty. The losses of the joint fleet of the three navies of China, Sharad, and Noomi have increased a lot.

The commander of the Royal Inlobal Navy, Petru, said with a long sigh: "It is true that we can no longer continue to entangle with the Datang Navy. Now we can only leave some warships behind, and the main force covering our combined fleet will retreat as soon as possible."

"What about those seriously injured super dreadnought battleships and battlecruisers?" Sharad Royal Navy Commander Genis couldn't help asking.

Petroleum sighed again, "It's only one ship that can escape, and those seriously injured battleships can only ask for their own blessings!"

In the middle of the night on September [-]th, in the royal palace of Meseca City, the capital of the Inaba Empire, Penello, the emperor of the Inaba Empire, stayed up all the time. The news of the joint fleet of the three navies of the United States.

At two o'clock in the morning on September [-]th, August, Prime Minister of the Inlobal Empire, came to Emperor Penello with a sad face, and Emperor Penello saw that Prime Minister Augustus Te looked like a concubine, and suddenly felt tense, "Prime Minister, did you lose the battle?"

Prime Minister August hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, not only did you lose, but you lost badly."

Emperor Penello snatched the telegram from Prime Minister August, and the more he looked at it, the more ugly his face became, "I didn't expect that the joint fleet of the three navies of Inaba, Sharad, and Noomi would fall into the trap of the Tang Empire. , it turns out that the Datang Air Force already has bombers with very good performance, which can even conduct dive bombing, and it seems that the initiative of this war has fallen into the hands of the Datang Empire."

After a pause, Emperor Penello asked in a deep voice: "What is the specific loss of our Royal Navy of Inaba?"

Prime Minister Auguste said bitterly: "General Petrou is leading the retreat of the remaining combined fleet of the three navies. General Petrou has not yet calculated the loss data of the Royal Navy of Inaba."
