The end of the military era

The 10,000+ army troops in Direk City can't change the whole situation of the battle at all, so it's not surprising that they were abandoned. "

Commander Dwight's expression suddenly became a little frustrated, "Kordy, what should we do next? We will definitely not be able to defend!"

"Commander, the number of imperial troops that surrendered to Zhou's army was in the millions.

Since you can't hold it at all, why bother to let 10,000+ soldiers die in vain! "

"You mean to surrender?"

"I heard that there are 23 groups of our Royal Army that have surrendered to Zhou's army, so our No.60 Sixth Group Army is not bad.

Commander, it's not that we don't want to stick to Direk City, it's because the Navy abandoned Direk City first. "

After the navies of the three orc nations in Port Direk withdrew, the bull army in Direk City raised a white flag on the city wall.

Knowing that the main force of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet had appeared in Port Direk in the province of Kunclair, the combined fleet of the six navies immediately began to assemble, and even the combined fleet of the six navies was dispatched to the other two ports in the province of Kunclair. Some of the warships also evacuated one after another to join the main force of the combined fleet of the six navies.

Immediately, the barbarian army in these two port cities chose to surrender to Zhou's army. So far, the entire Kunklei Province has completely fallen under the control of Zhou's army.

At this time, there are only two port cities in New Constance Province that have not been captured by Zhou's army. However, if the three main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet want to reach these two port cities in New Constance Province, they must detour. 3 kilometers, it is necessary to bypass the remaining 3 provinces of the Manniu Empire and the coastal areas of the entire Red Tiger Empire.

However, the three main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet are still in Direk Port, and the warships of the combined fleet of the six navies have evacuated from the two ports in the province of New Constance.

Even the two garrison fleets of the Buffalo Navy in the two ports of the New Constance Province also withdrew together.

Can't do it!

Xiang Tao knew that it was unrealistic for the three main formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet to circle tens of thousands of kilometers, so he ordered several air regiments to continuously bomb the enemy warships in the two ports of New Constance. , and achieved very good results, and even became a battlecruiser of the Flying Leopard Navy.

After the navy withdrew, the barbarian army in the two port cities of the new Kangsiao province happily chose to surrender to the Zhou family's army, making the entire new Kangsiao province also belong to the Zhou family.

After completely conquering the provinces of Kunclair and New Constance of the Bull Empire, Zhou Rui immediately announced that the province of Kunclair was renamed Kunzhou Town, and the province of New Constance was renamed Kangzhou. town.

In addition, Kunzhou Town and Kangzhou Town were merged into the jurisdiction of the southwestern tutelary government of the Han and Tang Empires.

On August 1545, 8, the main force of the joint fleet of the six navies arrived in the waters near Direk Port, only to find that the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet previously stationed in Direk Port had disappeared.

On the bridge of the Dragon and Lion-class all-main gun battleship Oath of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, the commander-in-chief of the joint fleet of the six navies and the first deputy minister of the Navy Department of the Golden Lion Empire, Ralph, spoke to the commanders of the other five navies. Said: "What should we do now? Everyone talk about it!"

The Second Vice Minister of the Navy of the Red Tiger Empire, Pogue, immediately said: "Obviously, the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire, originally stationed in Direk Port, deliberately avoided the joint fleet of our six navies.

What we have to do now is to find out the trace of this human fleet! "

Yegor, the First Deputy Minister of the Navy of the Silver Wolf Empire, followed up and said: "The Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire stationed in Direk Port is only a part of the entire Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet. The main force engages in a decisive battle.

But this is a good opportunity for us to weaken the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet for the combined fleet of our six navies. They must be found! "

Raff nodded, "It's true that the enemy's squadron can't just be spared. If this squadron can be eliminated, the strength of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empire will be reduced by a small half."

At this time, Murka, the second vice minister of the navy of the Black Bear Empire, said: "What about Port Direk? Can we blow up Port Direk into ruins?"

The Naval Minister of the Manniu Empire, Larion, hastily stopped and said: "It must not be done!

There are millions of people in the city of Direk, including about 20 Niu people. Large-scale bombardment of the port of Direk must not be carried out! "

Although Direk City is now occupied by Zhou's army, the Manniu Empire still regards Direk City as its own city, thinking that sooner or later it will take back Direk City, and even the 4 provinces occupied by the Zhou family. .

Murka, the second vice minister of the Navy of the Black Bear Empire, then shrugged his shoulders and said nothing, and no one from the commanders of other countries mentioned the bombardment of Direk Port.

The First Deputy Minister of the Navy Department of the Golden Lion Empire, Raff, said next: "Immediately form several scouting fleets, and we must find out the squadron of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet of the Han and Tang Empires!"

At this time, the third formation, fourth formation and No.12 formation of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet that the combined fleet of the six navies wanted to find had already embarked on the return route.

On the bridge of the flagship of the third formation, the all-main gun battleship Fa Zhan, Liu Ergou, the commander of the third formation, held a telegram in his hand and said to the captain Wu Shaoli with a smile: "The fifth formation, the sixth formation and the The transport convoy escorted by Formation No.11 has arrived outside Xinying Port in Weizhou Town and is in the process of demining.

The tasks of our third formation, fourth formation and No.12 formation have been completed. "

It turns out that the third, fourth and No.12 formations of the Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet cooperated with the army to seize several port cities, mainly to attract the attention of the combined fleet of the six navies.

In order to allow the transport fleet escorted by the other three main formations to safely arrive at Xinying Port in Weizhou Town.

The transport fleet this time mainly transported fighter planes and tanks, including British camel fighter jets that can equip 10 air regiments, and Italian ca7 bombers that can equip 36 air regiments.

There are more than 6000 tanks, including some German Tiger heavy tanks and German Panzer IV tanks.

The German Tiger heavy tank was still called the Tiger heavy tank by Zhou Rui, and the German No. [-] tank was renamed the Black Wolf tank by Zhou Rui.

According to the scale of Zhou's army's security division, these more than 6000 tanks can be expanded into 6 more security divisions.

These fighter planes and tanks were all recently drawn by Zhou Rui from the lottery system.

另外抽奖系统在6月份、7月份和8月份白给的3张三星抽奖卡，还开出了12艘英国胡德级战列巡洋舰、12艘美国科罗拉多级战列舰和6艘英国纳尔逊级战列舰。

The British Nelson-class battleship has a full load displacement of 43140 tons and a top speed of 23 knots.

装备了3座三联装45倍口径406毫米主炮，6座双联装152毫米副炮，6门120毫米高平两用炮，4座双联装100毫米高平两用炮，6座八联装40毫米高射炮，2具620毫米鱼雷发射管。

The thickest side armor belt is 360 mm, the main deck armor is 160 mm, the main turret armor is 406 mm, and the full crew is 1314 people.

At present, Zhou Rui has not extracted the 12 battlecruisers and 18 battleships with full main guns from the lottery system.

Captain Wu Shaoli also said with a smile: "Those orcs probably wouldn't have imagined that our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet made such a big noise this time, mainly to allow the transport fleet to reach Xinying Port safely."

Liu Ergou said: "From the previous battles to capture Kunzhou Town and Kangzhou Town, we can see that fighter planes and tanks played a huge role in the war.

After Xiang Tao has these extra fighter planes and tanks in his hands, maybe he can add a few more new feudal towns for our Zhou family. "

Captain Wu Shaoli immediately asked: "Liu Zhi, when will our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet start a decisive battle at sea with the combined fleet of the six navies?"

"What? Are you a little anxious?"

"It's okay to be anxious, but this decisive battle at sea will have to be fought sooner or later.

According to the information obtained by the intelligence department, the six orc nations have started the construction of a new batch of capital ships. Even the Barbarian Empire is in the orc world, and has begun to build a large number of large docks for the construction of the main force. ship.

So I think the longer the delay, the more detrimental it will be to our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet.

After all, even if our Zhou family has six major shipyards, we cannot compete with six orc nations at the same time. "

Liu Ergou sighed and said: "A decisive battle at sea is not so easy to fight!

Once our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet loses the battle, the sea channel with the Western Continent will be completely cut off, so the Marshal and Song Zhi may still be hesitating whether to engage in a decisive sea battle with the combined fleet of the six navies. "

"Liu Zhi, the combined fleet of the six navies is not much stronger than our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet. What's more, once the navies of the six orc nations go to the battlefield, they may not be single-minded. Our Southwest Coastal Defense Fleet should have a great chance of winning. "

"Old Wu, don't forget that not all the warships of the six orc nations have been organized into the sequence of the combined fleet of the six navies."
