Great Warlord: The Second Ancestor of the Empire

In fact, Liu Yuxi's idea is very simple, that is, let half the fleet follow the American Pacific Fleet like this, and then wait until dawn and the pilots can see clearly, and then let the carrier-based aircraft deal with the remaining American ships. .

The time soon came to the next morning.

The pilots from the Daxia Empire took off in the morning sunshine, and an hour later, the fighter planes from Daxia found the remaining Milician Pacific Fleet based on the coordinates provided by the battleships ahead.

The air battle was imminent, and this time, Daxia quickly gained the upper hand.

A large number of Militia carrier-based aircraft were shot down.

After all the Milician aircraft were cleared, the outcome of this naval battle has been determined.

Without the protection of carrier-based aircraft, Daxia's fighter planes launched an attack on the remaining fleet of Milician just like yesterday.

Soon, the battleship USS South Dakota was hit by a bomb and caught fire, and the fire spread to the entire deck.

At this time, at least the Daxia fleet that had been following also joined the battle.

As a fire broke out on the deck of the battleship USS South Dakota, everyone on the deck was busy putting out the fire.

The battleship USS South Dakota's firepower was reduced by more than half.

At 8:43 in the morning, the South Dakota hit twice in succession.

Once the waterline was hit by a Ming-class battleship, causing a large amount of seawater to pour into the South Kota.

The South Kota listed.

Another shot hit the No. 1 battery of the South Dakota and successfully penetrated it. As a result, it detonated the ammunition depot under the No. 1 turret and caused the ammunition depot to explode.

The entire No. 1 Battery was blown away, and the entire structure of the South Dakota was damaged.

Ten minutes later, two torpedo attack aircraft targeted the severely systolic battleship.

Then the two torpedo attack aircraft launched torpedoes towards the South Dakota from the left and the right.

The South Kota did not notice the two torpedoes at first, but by the time they discovered it, the torpedoes were already very close and impossible to avoid.

As a result, the sailors on the South Kota could only watch helplessly as the torpedo hit the side of the South Kota.

The South Kota was hit again. This time, even the sailors of the South Kota chose to give up.

It really can't be saved.

So the captain of the South Kota ordered to abandon ship.

Fifteen minutes later, the battleship USS South Dakota rolled over and sank.

After the USS South Dakota, one of the only two remaining battleships, sank, all of Daxia's firepower was concentrated on the USS Washington.

Another hour later, the battleship Washington sank after being hit by hundreds of bullets.

Both battleships were sunk, and the largest remaining tonnage was only a cruiser of more than 10,000 tons.

Under such circumstances, part of the American Pacific Fleet, knowing that they could not escape, chose to hoist the white flag and surrender.

Others choose to sink themselves before surrendering.

No matter what it was, in this naval battle, the First and Second Combined Fleets of the Great Xia Empire annihilated the Milician Pacific Fleet at a very small cost.

After rescuing all the prisoners, the Daxia Empire's fleet began to return.

They need to go to the Java Islands first, hold these prisoners on land, and then replenish ammunition. After that, they will cooperate with the Third Combined Fleet to deal with the combined fleets of John Empire and Millican.

Two days later, the First and Second Combined Fleets set off again.

This time they needed to go around the Java Islands and around the southern part of Sumatra.

At this time, a large-scale naval battle was also taking place on the Strait of Malacca.

Although the ships of the Third United Fleet are smaller than those of the John Empire and the Millennium coalition.

However, Gao Bo relied on numerous land-based aircraft on Sumatra Island and the Malay Peninsula to fight back and forth with the fleets of the two countries.

Gao Bo is actually a supporter of the aircraft carrier school theory, so he has quite a lot of experience in using aircraft to attack ships.

He first deployed a large number of mines in the Strait of Malacca.

Some of these mines are obvious, while others are hidden underwater.

Gao Bo had no intention of relying on these mines to deal with the fleets of the two countries. He just wanted to use mines to limit the opponent's range of action.

As a result, the fleets of the two countries had no way to enter the strait directly, and they gathered at the entrance of the strait.

Then he ordered some small submarines to hide in the mine area and prepare for sneak attacks at any time.

Since these submarines are hidden in mine areas, this ensures that there will be no submarine hunters or destroyers to hunt them.

However, this small submarine can only carry four torpedoes and cannot guarantee the continuity of firepower.

But that's enough.

Due to mines, the fleets of the two countries did not have much room for maneuver at the entrance of the strait.

At this time, Gao Bo asked land-based fighters to take off and bomb the fleets of the two countries.

The biggest difference between land-based aircraft and carrier-based aircraft is that land-based aircraft are larger and can carry more bombs.

Although the two countries have too many fleets and strong anti-aircraft firepower, Daxia also has a lot of aircraft.

In order to deal with the fleets of the two countries, Daxia specially dispatched many fighter planes from other regions and deployed them near Malacca.

Coupled with the number of carrier-based aircraft, this results in Daxia having more than a thousand fighters in the area.

Many people may not be able to imagine what it would be like to have more than a thousand planes flying above their heads at the same time.

But this time, the sailors of the two fleets saw enough.

Thousands of fighter planes covered the sky, blocking all the sunlight in the sky.

Then, as if they had suddenly received an order, these fighter planes began to scatter, and they rushed towards the fleets of the two countries below in small groups.

Since there were so many of these fighters, and there were also our own fighters, this group of sailors from both countries, who had never seen such a scene, was a little overwhelmed at the beginning.

Especially those sailors who control anti-aircraft firepower, which makes it impossible for them to fight or not to fight.

Fight, because the fighter plane is too fast, it is easy to cause accidental damage to your own fighter plane.

Let's not fight. With their fighters alone against Daxia's land-based fighters, defeat will only be a matter of time.

Finally, under the orders of the gunnery officer, the fleets of the two countries launched full anti-aircraft firepower.

At this time, the personal strength of the pilots on both sides was reflected.

As mentioned before, Daxia's fighter planes are rarely exposed to other countries because they hide them. This results in Daxia's pilots having no communication with other countries.

Their guesses about foreign pilots and anti-aircraft firepower all came from other forces in the empire.

In other words, they regard their own people as enemies, and then embark on a path of no return with insufficient firepower.

As the pilots' personal abilities improved, the air defense forces felt unsafe, so they began to develop new air defense weapons.

The newly developed air defense firepower network puts pressure on pilots, and they feel that they are not strong enough.

Then the pilots trained hard again.

So a closed loop is formed, involving itself.

Now the anti-aircraft firepower of the two fleets below makes this group of Daxia pilots feel troublesome, but it is not to the point of being unable to deal with it.
