Chapter 464 Operation Whaling Fork

On May 8 of the 4th Gregorian calendar, in order to relieve the supply pressure of troops in the monthly provinces and New Territories provinces, the Holy Sword Empire once again organized a large-scale maritime transportation, and attacked the troops of the kamikaze Empire wandering in the Kamikaze Strait, immediately severely damaging this unprecedented transportation plan.

A total of 411 civilian merchant ships requisitioned by the Seisen Imperial Naval Transport Fleet, under the protection of 57 warships, crossed the Kamikaze Strait and headed for the port city of Amian in the New Territories Province. This maritime transport force carried about 300 new tanks, more than 300,000 shells, and more than 70,000 tons of magic. Crystal Power, the plan code name of this adventure supply is "Conveyor Belt".

On May 9 of the 4th year of the Gregorian calendar, the day after the full start of the "conveyor belt" project, the white horned whale attack force of the kamifeng Empire found the transport fleet of the Holy Sword Empire, but because the number of wild white whale whales in this sea is very rare, the attack has not been able to be launched, and soon the ships of the Holy Sword Empire The team avoided the first wave of white whale attacks with the advantage of speed.

However, the good times did not last long. Another white whale attack force collided with the transport fleet of the Seijian Empire, and then there was a fierce battle between the two sides. The escort destroyer fired fiercely at the attacking white whales. Finally, the destroyer escort fleet of the Sword Empire repelled the Kamin Empire Department that came to attack at the expense of six destroyers. Team.

It is regrettable that in this attack, more than a dozen transport ships were still sunk by the White Horn of the Kamikaze Empire Navy, but the rest of the transport ships of the Seiken Empire were effectively protected, and the fleet continued to drive north and finally crossed the Kamikaze Strait.

When approaching the northern edge of the kamigaze Strait, the kamigaze imperial navy launched a third fierce attack, which cost the navy of the Holy Sword Empire.

The Kamikaze Imperial Navy's horn whale troops gathered and ambushed the sea fleet of the Seiken Empire. During the fierce battle for more than 2 hours, at least 13 destroyers were hit and sunk by the white whale, 4 destroyers were seriously injured, and two cruisers were hit, and they had to slow down and fled to Doles. Nearby port.

The record reported by the White Horned Whale Force of the Kamikaze Empire was a little exaggerated. In the report received by Hirobo kamikaze claimed that he had sunk about 72 warships of the Seijian Empire, but later according to the analysis, the loss record provided by the Seiken Empire was close to the truth, that is to say, in this battle, the Sword Empire lost a total of 2 5 warships of various types, including 6 were injured and 19 were sunk.

At the same time, as many as 51 transport ships of the Holy Sword Empire were sunk, and a large number of military materials sank to the bottom of the sea. The shipbuilding industry of the Holy Sword Empire could not make up for such a huge loss. The naval transport fleet was forced to suspend its plan to return to the departure port and stayed near the port of Doles.

However, this transportation operation of the Kamigaze Strait became a turning point in the battle of the Kamigaze Strait.

The injured cruiser 529 brought back an important message. Before the ship was injured, it accelerated to the flank of the fleet. They found the other party's sailing fleet and some strange white whales on the flank of the fleet.

According to the information they provided, the senior officials of the Seiken Empire learned that some people of the kamikaze Empire rode on the dorsal fins of the white-horned whale and made some strange slaps on the white-horned whales.

According to the careful analysis of Genesis and Arcado, the sword empire unlocked the secret of a large number of suicide attacks on sword warships by white whales.

These maritime targets look similar to the headquarters. They control the domesticated bback whales to make low-frequency calls, making other non-artificial domesticated wild white whales think that the ships of the Sword Empire are just enemies and guide other natural white whales to attack ships.

As for the so-called suicide attack, it is because before the ironclad ship of the Sword Empire comes out, hitting the sailing ship will not kill the white-horned whale. In other words, it is because the ironclad ship of the Sword Empire is so defensive that it is defeated by both sides.

On May 13 of the Gregorian calendar, after learning of the other party's weaknesses, the Sword Empire held an emergency combat meeting. Arcado looked at the naval loss report and was furious. In anger, he announced at the meeting that the Kamikaze Empire must perish, and the battle of the Kamikaze Strait will not stop!

Acudo ordered the navy's "Dragon King Plan" to cancel the trial voyage and join the Battle of Kamikaze Strait. After the naval battleships meet, it will launch the "whaling fork operation" to comprehensively counterattack the kamikaze Empire.

As early as before the start of the Fourth Battle of Arante of the Sword Empire, under the order of Arcado, the First Naval Ship Manufacturing Plant under the Yong'an Military Base on Rome Island of the Sword Empire has secretly begun to implement the Dragon King Plan. Now seven secret warships of the "Dragon King Plan" have been produced.

What puzzles all admirals is that this naval warship, the largest tonnage so far, is not equipped with a magic guide gun. No one knows whether this huge thing has any other role than transporting marines.

The main force of the navy of the Seiken Empire converged 7 "super warships" starting with the number 6, and a total of 175 warships of various types sailed to the Kamikaze Strait, and a new sea decisive battle was imminent.

The God Sword Empire Naval Transport Fleet deployed in Doles ushered in their new mission. This mission is to cross the Kamigaze Strait and transport the army to land on Fengshen Island.

The 2nd Army Group under the command of Gavin*, who was replaced from the front line, has arrived at Doles, and 250,000 troops are ready to attack.

In fact, in order to reduce the supply journey, the 2nd Army Group began to move south after the Battle of Egret City, leaving the 13th Army Group of the Bright Orcs as a strategic reserve. The reason for this arrangement is that the 13th Army Group basically only needs meat and food, as well as a small amount of weapon wear and tear, and the logistics supply pressure is relatively small compared with the 2nd Army Group.

The other force is the landing force composed of the 3rd Division of the New Seiken Division and the 1st, 2nd and 3rd Marine Division. This unit is transported by the Spirit Forest Transport Fleet of the Sword Empire and a large number of civilian ships, following the main fleet of the navy, and they shoulder the heavy responsibility of the first wave of landings.

Because of participating in the Nemesis Project, this landing force has rich experience in landing operations, and after fighting with the orcs, the combat effectiveness of these troops is quite high.

Operation Whale Fork officially began on May 19, Gregorian calendar. Under the command of Sean, the naval general of the Sword Empire, and the army * Gavin, the sword empire participated in the battle with more than 360,000 people (including the navy and marines), 314 ships of various types, and fought a decisive battle with the Kaminaze Empire in the Kaminaze Strait.
