Chapter 206 Operation Plan No. 1 (Part )
From time to time, loud noises were heard in the sky, and fighter planes fell down like birds with broken wings.
The captains of the ships in the mixed fleet stood on the command platform with solemn expressions, directing the battle with full concentration.
"Attention! Attention! Enemy aircraft are approaching our aircraft carrier. Intercept them immediately!"
However, before they could react, another frightening news came: "Oh no, several torpedoes are rushing towards our aircraft carrier!"
In an instant, huge waves rose on the sea, accompanied by deafening explosions, and those deadly torpedoes hit the hull of the aircraft carrier hard.
The huge impact force instantly tore open several hideous holes, flames shot up into the sky, and thick smoke filled the air.
"Damn it! These bastards!" the captain of the aircraft carrier roared angrily.
Then, he quickly gave orders: "Put out the fire quickly! Seal the isolation cabin immediately!"
Just then, more bad news came.
I saw a group of Dongyang fighter planes swooping down towards the mixed fleet like ferocious falcons.
"Hurry up! We must stop them as soon as possible!" The captains shouted anxiously.
All at once, all kinds of anti-aircraft guns on the warships opened fire, and dense rain of bullets shot towards the enemy planes like a downpour.
However, faced with so many aggressive Dongyang fighter planes, the mixed fleet's carrier-based aircraft seemed stretched and unable to cope.
Although the pilots tried their best, the huge disparity in numbers between the two sides put them under great pressure.
At the same time, a long black line appeared on the sea level in the distance - the Dongyang Kingdom's joint fleet was approaching at lightning speed.
On the decks of several aircraft carriers in the combined fleet, carrier-based aircraft are ready to go.
A few hours passed in a flash, and on several aircraft carriers of the Dongyang Kingdom's fierce joint fleet, carrier-based aircraft took off into the sky like birds out of the forest and quickly engaged in this fierce battle.
This incident suddenly doubled the pressure on Yan State’s mixed fleet.
Fortunately, after a busy period of work, the warships were finally successfully launched.
They gathered around the aircraft carrier one after another like loyal guards.
At the same time, more than ten submarines under the mixed fleet rushed towards the Dongyang State's joint fleet, attempting to carry out an interception operation.
For a moment, the sea was rough and the atmosphere was extremely tense and intense.
On the air battlefield, the two sides launched a thrilling, tragic and life-and-death struggle.
Planes roared past, the sound of gunfire was deafening, and from time to time fighter planes were hit, caught fire and crashed, like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky.
On the other hand, Commander Shen, who was on land, was unfortunately surrounded by five divisions of Dongyang State.
Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye it was already early morning of the next day.
Anxious Chen Yixin hurried to the front of Yanwu Palace.
He walked into the palace in a hurry, his face full of anxiety: "Your Majesty! Something terrible is happening!"
"According to the battle report from the front, Dongyang Country is currently launching a surprise attack on our mixed fleet stationed on Gaoshan Island!"
When Qin Ruihua heard the news, he trembled all over as if struck by lightning, and his heart was filled with turmoil.
He couldn't help but think back to the Battle Plan No. 1 that he had formulated a few days ago, and suddenly he realized that all this was actually aimed at him!
"Damn Dongyang country! How dare you plot against us like this!" Qin Ruihua was furious, his eyes blazing with fire, and he shouted through gnashing teeth, "Pass on my order, immediately mobilize all the fleets in the country to reinforce the front line, and do your best!!
"As for homeland defense, our powerful air force alone is sufficient."
"In addition, quickly assemble all our strategic bomber fleets and fly non-stop to the skies over Dongyang's homeland to launch a 24-hour non-stop bombing campaign!"
"We must deal a heavy blow to the ignorant Dongyang Nation!"
Marshal Chen Yixin moved upon hearing the order, straightened his body, and responded loudly: "I will obey the imperial edict and will not fail in my mission!"
After saying that, he turned and left, starting to carry out Qin Ruihua's instructions.
Then, Qin Ruihua issued another decree: "Pass it down, and formally declare war on Dongyang Kingdom immediately!"
"I will make these arrogant people pay a heavy price for their actions today and regret it for the rest of their lives!"
"Yes, sir!" Everyone shouted in unison, their voices shaking the sky, as if foreshadowing that a world-shaking war was about to begin...
At this moment, the mixed fleet consisting of multiple ships located above Gaoshan Island is facing unprecedented difficulties and huge losses.
After a thrilling and extremely fierce naval battle, one of their aircraft carriers suffered a severe blow and could no longer sail normally.
At the same time, a cruiser, three destroyers and two submarines disappeared into the sea.
An officer stepped forward and said to the commander: "Commander, please allow me to report the current battle situation to you."
"Given the current situation, we absolutely cannot continue to linger here."
"If we insist on fighting to the end, the consequences will be disastrous, and may even lead to the annihilation of the entire fleet!"
"So, in my opinion, we should make a prompt decision and quickly issue the order to retreat. This is the best strategy!"
Hearing this earnest advice, the commander's eyes became more determined.
He knew very well that what the officer said was true, but his heart was full of contradictions and struggles.
However, as the commander-in-chief of an army, he must make the wisest and most decisive decisions.
Therefore, the commander directly issued an order: "Immediately execute the retreat plan!"
"First, completely destroy the severely damaged aircraft carrier to prevent it from falling into enemy hands and becoming a trophy."
"Secondly, all other warships must closely follow the battleships and aircraft carriers and evacuate the battlefield together."
"Finally, leave all the submarines behind to cover our retreat and delay the combined fleet's pursuit of us as much as possible, buying more precious time for the main force to escape!"
After receiving clear instructions, all officers and soldiers responded in unison: "Yes, sir!"
The sound resounded through the sky, as if foreshadowing that this once majestic mixed fleet was about to embark on a difficult and dangerous escape journey.
The commander silently gazed at the smoke-filled and devastated sea before him, feeling filled with emotion.
This encounter was obviously a surprise attack that had been carefully planned by Dongyang State for a long time, with the purpose of dealing a fatal blow to its own side.
Now it seems that if I continue to stay where I am and fight the enemy, I will only fall into an abyss from which there is no return. The only way to escape from danger as soon as possible and preserve my strength is to have a chance to avenge my previous humiliation...
Thinking of this, the commander clenched his fists tightly and vowed secretly to make the enemy pay a heavy price!
