Chapter 1095 Chapter 1096 The destruction of the fleet

"Report! The Goblin is calling...Victory belongs to Mirage Kingdom..." The adjutant handed the message to Mirage Haifeng. Everyone around him knew what this message meant.

The Goblin was doomed, and everyone saw its destruction with their own eyes: due to the serious out-of-control flooding from the side, its conning tower had fallen on the sea, and it only took more than ten minutes for the battleship to capsize.

Even faster than the captain of the Goblin expected, the Goblin was doomed before even having time to lower all the lifeboats.

Further afield, the battleship Shanshuang has completely sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the main deck of Qingyu is now almost as high as the sea surface.

"Send a telegram to the base camp... All the officers and soldiers of our fleet have tried their best. The responsibility for the defeat lies with Mirage Haifeng. I am ashamed of my love for His Majesty, so I can only die to apologize." The person waiting for the record put down his pen and raised his head. , Mirage Fengcai continued to ask: "Have you recorded it?"

 “It’s recorded.” The officer nodded.

 “Then go and send it.” Mirage Haifeng waved his hand.

"General! This is not your decision! You just carried out the orders of the base camp." The adjutant defended his commander unconvincedly.

"So what?" Haifeng Haifeng showed a forced smile for the first time in more than a day: "Now, whose responsibility is it still important?"

"Living is torture to me. It doesn't matter. Let me die with the fleet I command. I will feel better." Mirage Haifeng patted his adjutant on the shoulder and said.

 He really doesn’t plan to live any longer, that would be too cruel for him. It would be better to die if you live to see your fleet annihilated, to live to see your country wiped out in ashes...

Mirage Haifeng's desperate attitude moved many Mirage officers, and they also realized that dying here might be a better choice for them: in a war destined to fail, death is more like a kind of relief.

But just when the tragic atmosphere spread, inspiring all the goblins, and preparing them to scream and make a final brave fight...an aerial bomb directly hit the bridge of the battleship Mirage, and the explosion instantly swallowed everyone here .

To be honest, this is indeed a bit too coincidental, but the reality is such a magic: it was not hit by Styx anti-ship missiles all night, and was besieged by many carrier-based aircraft at dawn. The Mirage's luck value was completely used up just now.

A Stuka dive bomber aimed at the middle of the ship to drop a bomb, but was interfered by anti-aircraft guns. Finally, it dropped the bomb randomly and turned away. As a result, the bomb happened to hit the most important part of the battleship Mirage.

At this second, dozens of officers, plus the commander of the main fleet of the Mirage Navy, Admiral Mirage Haifeng... were all killed!

Even though it is protected by thick and uniform steel armor with a thickness of nearly 400 mm, it can be directly hit by a 500 kg aerial bomb, and the people inside must walk very peacefully.

Violent explosions can also shatter the internal organs of people inside: the armor protection on the command tower is to protect against armor-piercing projectiles with a small charge fired by enemy warships, not against aerial bombs...

Full of drama, Mirage Feng left the scene hastily and suddenly, leaving only a broken and fragmented fleet.

The bottom of the Goblin is still exposed on the sea, and it is surrounded by goblin sailors who have abandoned the ship and are floating on the sea.

 Shanshuang has sunk, Qingyu has also sunk...Although the Mirage has not sunk yet, it has already caught fire, the ship island has been damaged, half of the commanders have been killed, and all command and control have been paralyzed.

 A few minutes later, the Motojima, which was actually turning around and escaping, was hit by five torpedoes, broke apart and sank.

About half an hour later, the strong Mirage was sunk. It was only at this time that the Tang carrier-based aircraft unit, which had been busy all morning, remembered one thing... There was also a Mirage battleship with thick smoke billowing in the distance!

That's right, the battleship Great South Bay, which was first hit by the Styx anti-ship missile and hit twice, was miraculously forgotten by the Tang Army.

　　It was the first one to be seriously injured, and ended up falling behind due to the loss of speed. Instead, this battleship became the last Mirage battleship to be sunk.

At 11:13 in the morning, Tang's torpedo planes fired three torpedoes at the Great South Bay, sinking the giant beast that had almost lost its ability to sail and was floating on the sea.

At this point, the Mirage Navy devoted all its efforts and spent ten years to build 12 battleships, but all of them were sunk.

The remaining small fish and shrimps no longer have the determination to continue fighting, but in this case, the navy captains of these mirage countries also know that they may not be able to escape.

I don’t know who thought of a way to escape, that is, to escape into the nearby Da Nanwan Port! There are anti-aircraft guns and forts there...presumably they can provide some cover.

 The worst thing is that the battleship sank in the Great South Bay. At least you can swim ashore to take refuge, right?

After the first warship rushed towards the Great South Bay like crazy, the remaining mirage warships began to retreat there.

But the Tang army could not let these mirage warships leave so easily, so many more mirage warships were sunk.

The naval battle actually lasted until past two o'clock in the afternoon, because...in addition to the remnants of Mirage's main fleet in the south, wasn't there a squadron commanded by Mirage Haiang in the north?

Turning back again, the northern cruiser squadron that went south to attack the landing site ended up not much better. They were also attacked by Styx anti-ship missiles, and then encountered Tang's carrier-based aircraft, which also suffered heavy losses. What was even worse than the main fleet in the south was that there was no big south bay next to them that could allow them to take refuge... So until about two o'clock in the afternoon, the Mirage Fleet was completely wiped out, and not a single battleship remained.

 Mirage Haiang died in battle.

 …

"Your Majesty! This is the last telegram sent by General Mirage Haifeng." Everyone in the Mirage Kingdom's base camp looked gloomy, and an officer carefully handed the last telegram from the main fleet to the Mirage Emperor.

"Read it." Mirage Emperor stopped answering the telegram and ordered directly.

"The officers and soldiers of our fleet have fought hard, and the responsibility for the defeat lies with only one person in the sea. I am ashamed of my kindness to Your Majesty, and I can only die to apologize." After the officer finished reading, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

"Is he responsible? Can he afford this responsibility?" Ping Haiping's voice became sharp and he scolded sternly.

 It is a pity that it is impossible for Mirage Haifeng to hear his scolding.

"Accurate news, all 12 battleships of our fleet have sunk." Because every battleship is a treasure of the Mirage Kingdom, when every battleship sinks, a telegram, similar to a suicide note, will be sent. thing.

　　Not only did Ming Haifeng receive these telegrams, but the base camp also received these telegrams. Now Mirage Emperor, Mirage Haiping, and Mirage Wuke all know that the main fleet is finished.

“It’s not a pity for Mirage Feng to die!” Seeing that Mirage Emperor didn’t speak, Mirage Haiping had no choice but to continue speaking.

"How are the preparations for the suicide boat?" The Mirage Emperor stopped mentioning the main fleet and instead asked about the suicide boat plan.

"We have commandeered some relatively fast boats and prepared explosives on them... The training has already begun." Mirage Haiping quickly replied. This kind of special boat needs to be redesigned and built, and naturally it cannot be that fast.

 “Hurry!” Mirage Emperor nodded and looked at Army General Mirage Wu Zhong.

"We have recruited 30 pilots who are willing to serve His Majesty... The aircraft is also being modified and a large amount of explosives will be installed..." Seeing the Mirage Emperor looking at him, Mirage Wuk did not wait for the other party to ask questions and directly reported the report.

 Compared to the Navy, the Air Force has ready-made aircraft, so the speed can obviously be faster. If you are willing, letting pilots fly planes to hit Tang warships can be achieved in a few days.

But for Mirage Wu Zhong, he had to make the stakes clear: "Your Majesty, I think it is more appropriate to use novice pilots to carry out the impact mission... If you use experienced pilots, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses."

"What you said makes sense...but...I have to remind you! This is war! Any timidity or mercy may lead to failure!" Mirage Emperor narrowed his eyes and said.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Phantom Vuk immediately lowered his head and said. He knew that if he did not sacrifice dozens or even hundreds of skilled pilots, he might not be able to pass the Mirage Emperor level.

 However, he wanted to know, after losing so many mature pilots, how to make up for these losses? Should we let those rookies who have just been trained for a few days fly aircraft whose performance is inferior to those of the Tang Dynasty to die in the sky?

 …

 Chang'an, Forbidden City.

Tang Mo's secretary knocked on the door of Tang Mo's office. After receiving permission, he opened the door, walked to Tang Mo's desk, and presented a telegram: "Your Majesty! The news just sent, Marshal Bernard wiped out the main fleet of Mirage."

"Finally, there is good news." Tang Mo was relieved when he heard the news. He could provide advanced weapons to his men, but using these weapons to win victory still requires certain operations.

Bernard was able to successfully annihilate the Mirage fleet, which meant that half of the expedition to the four islands of the Mirage had been won.

Tang Mo was in a good mood and grabbed the document in front of him and handed it to his secretary: "Send this document out. Congratulations to King Qin for finally getting his wish and becoming His Majesty the Emperor of Qin!"

This is the condition agreed upon before. If the Qin State can penetrate the Shushan defense line, then the Tang Empire and the Yangmu Empire will support the Qin King in proclaiming himself emperor. King Qin fought hard for several months and finally made some progress. Now, it's time for Tang Mo to fulfill his promise.
