Chapter 465 Anti-submarine aircraft carrier
40 bombers secretly transported by train to Bark Province were deployed at a secret field airport near the Kamikaze Strait. The newly formed aviation sabotage division will be responsible for finding guerrilla white whale attack fleet within the radius of combat. Once such a ship is found, it will attack immediately.
With this terrible air weapon, the sword empire's defense at sea finally recovered its decline, ensuring the safety of offshore routes to a certain extent and restoring part of maritime transportation, which finally gave the 7th Army under the command of Karus, which was far away in Egret Province, a decent supply.
With the unique advantage of the aircraft in attacking surface ships, the loss of the white whale guerrillas sent by the Kamikaze Empire has climbed all the way. It was also because no one returned to Fengshen Island alive and reported that he saw what means the other party used to attack the white horn whales to attack the fleet, so kamikaze Hirobo could not make corresponding countermeasures.
On May 25, within just 6 days, 30 white-horned whale tamed animals of the kamigaze Empire and their supply ships were sunk in the coastal area of Buck Province, accounting for half of the total number of bucans deployed along the coast of Buck Province.
After losing about 30 bucans tame, kamikaze had to recall all the bluca tlers deployed in the coastal area of Bark Province, because he could not afford such a huge loss.
Even in the kamigaze Empire, the white-horned whale taming is a scarce resource, and the kamigaze empire can only maintain about 300 animals after hundreds of years of efforts.
It's really heartbreaking to lose one-tenth of the number in World War I, so even Hirobo Kamikaze dared not take risks easily before finding a way for the Sword Empire to find the white whale to attack the troops.
Arcado, the emperor of the Holy Sword Empire, personally called Her Majesty the Elf Forest and invited the Elf Forest to send troops together to attack the Kamikaze Empire. Her Majesty the Elf Forest readily agreed. According to Her Majesty Arcado's request, 700 white-headed eagle knights became the first elves to openly participate in the war against the Sword Empire. Soldier.
And these white-headed eagle knights were deployed by Arcado on seven large aircraft carriers produced by the Dragon King Project. Because the short-range landing technology has not been achieved, the Dragon King plan has been in a state of stranding. The white-headed eagle of the elf forest makes up for the defect of the plane in take-off and landing. These bald eagle knights can take off and land vertically and do not need a long deck at all.
The kamigaze Imperial Navy does not have a decent air defense system, especially the white whale attack fleet. Their methods against the air force are like a child's play for these eagle knights who have participated in the air battle of the Elf Forest.
The white-horned whale taming must be controlled by humans to play a role, so they cannot dive and can only operate on the surface. In order to provide food and drink supplies for the professionals who command the white-horned whale, drag the tamed bucans, and there are large sailboats at the same time. In this way, the Air Force finds that they are simply easy to reverse. Palm.
These aircraft carriers equipped with white-headed eagles have created a horrible record of sinking 62 white-horned whales taming in the middle of the Kamikaze Strait. For a while, Sean's naval fleet seems to have returned to an invincible state.
Then, because the Kaminaze Empire indiscriminately attacked all the ships of the Seisen Empire, including passenger ships, the Seisen Empire issued a decree that the Seisen Empire Navy would destroy any ships on the sea of the Kaminade Empire, including fishing boats.
The navy of the Sword Empire, which received orders, searched everywhere for ships of the Kamikaze Empire to attack. For a moment, the Kamikaze Strait became another slaughterhouse. There were all kinds of wooden boards and wine barrels everywhere on the sea, as well as a soaked white corpse.
The Sword Empire finally survived a nine-month disadvantage and successfully controlled the middle area of the Kamigaze Strait. After more than nine months of silence, it once again seized the initiative of naval warfare.
The resumption of maritime transportation has enabled the Holy Sword Empire to regain supplies from the Egret Province and other areas. As a result, Field Marshal McVlon sent a letter to the Naval Staff, praising the support and contribution of the Navy's "Operation Whaling Fork" to the Army.
After losing about one-third of the white-horned whale tamed animals, the Kamikaze Empire gave up the offensive operation of the Kamikaze Strait and turned it into defense. It dispatched a large number of naval sailboats to cover the white-horned whale towing ships.
Hirobo kamikaze understands that if the white horn whale no longer has the advantage, the kamikaze empire will be completely suppressed by the powerful navy of the sword empire, and the loss of the sea is no different from the subjugated country for the kamikaze empire.
In fact, without the two trading countries of the Southeast City State and the Eternal Night Empire, the current situation of the kamikaze Empire is very unoptimistic. The total collapse of the trade system, the comprehensive blockade of the Holy Sword Empire, and the military expenses caused by the war have made the whole kamikaze Empire out of its cover.
This time, the Holy Sword Empire won the Battle of Egret City on the Eastern Front and the Battle of Nemesis on the Western Front, mobilized the elite troops who were experienced in fighting between the 2nd Army Group and the Elf Forest, and aimed at the last stumbling block behind him.
After analysis, Yu Qiansui and Akado, the staff headquarters had a comprehensive discussion, and the joint deployment of the three armies, including Aiwen of the Ministry of Commerce, and Old Tom of the Maritime Transport Headquarters, agreed to fully occupy Fengshen Island and permanently relieve the troubles of maritime transportation.
Because the indiscriminate attack of the Kamikaze Empire caused incalculable losses to the new class, the capitalist class and the big chaebols of the Holy Sword Empire, and the aristocratic chamber of commerce, and almost paralyzed the sea transportation of the vital Sword Empire, so there was almost no resistance. The Sword Empire passed the plan to invade Fengshen Island.
Even, the merchants donated 50 million gold coins to the Sword Empire to support this "just war" for this battle.
After nearly 20 days of heroic fighting, the white whale attack troops are no longer mysterious, and the maritime threat to the Sword Empire is becoming more and more insignificant. The "whaling fork operation" is coming to an end.
On May 9, 4 of the Gregorian calendar, in the dark days before the "Conveyor Belt Project", the average loss of a white-horned whale tamed animal can sink about 100 ships of various types of the Holy Sword Empire, sometimes even higher.
However, in early June of the 4th year of the Gregorian calendar, this proportion dropped to every time a warship or transport ship of the Holy Sword Empire was sunked, a white-horned whale was lost.
By mid-June, the navy of the Seiken Empire reported that it had attacked a total of 130 horned whale targets and sank 90 of them. The Seiken Empire lost only 3 warships and did not lose transport ships.
In fact, many targets are not bucans taming, but only wild bucans, but the proportion of losses has been reduced to such a point that the bucans of the Kamigaze Empire seem to have reached its end.
The white-headed eagle knight carried on the aircraft carrier of the Holy Sword Empire has won unanimous praise from naval officers and soldiers in actual combat, and this form of combat mode also impressed Sean.
