"Report! A call from the Goblin...Victory belongs to Mirage Kingdom..." The adjutant handed the message to Mirage Haifeng. Everyone around him knew what this message meant.
The Goblin was doomed, and everyone saw its destruction with their own eyes: due to the serious out-of-control flooding from the side, its command tower had fallen on the sea, and it only took more than ten minutes for the battleship to capsize.
Even faster than the captain of the Goblin expected, the Goblin was doomed before even having time to lower all the lifeboats.
Farther away, the battleship Shanshuang had completely sunk to the bottom of the sea, and the main deck of Qingyu was now almost as high as the sea surface.
"Send a telegram to the base camp... All the officers and soldiers of our fleet have tried their best to fight. The responsibility for the defeat lies solely with Mirage. I am ashamed of my love for His Majesty, so I can only die to apologize." The person waiting for the record put down his pen and raised his hand.
Head, Mirage Fengcai continued to ask: "Have you recorded it?"
"It's recorded." The officer nodded.
"Then go and send it." Mirage Haifeng waved his hand.
"General! This is not your decision! You just carried out the orders of the base camp." The adjutant defended his commander somewhat unconvinced.
"So what?" Mirage Haifeng showed a forced smile for the first time in more than a day: "Now, whose responsibility does it still matter?"
"Living is torture to me. It doesn't matter. Let me die with the fleet I command. I will feel better." Mirage Haifeng patted his adjutant on the shoulder and said.
He really didn't plan to live any longer, that would be too cruel for him. To live to see his fleet annihilated, to live to see his country wiped out... It would be better to die.
Mirage Haifeng's desperate attitude moved many Mirage officers, and they also realized that dying here might be a better choice for them: in a war destined to fail, death is more like a
A kind of relief.
But just when the tragic atmosphere spread, inspiring all the goblins, and preparing them to roar and fight for the last time... an aerial bomb directly hit the bridge of the battleship Mirage, and the explosion instantly swallowed up everything here
people.
To be honest, this is indeed a bit too coincidental, but the reality is such a magic: it was not hit by Styx anti-ship missiles all night, and was besieged by many carrier-based aircraft at dawn. The Mirage's luck value was completely used up just now.
A Stuka dive bomber aimed at the middle of the ship to drop a bomb, but was interfered by the anti-aircraft guns. Finally, it dropped the bomb randomly and turned away. As a result, the bomb hit the most important part of the battleship Mirage by chance.
In this second, dozens of officers, plus the commander of the main fleet of the Mirage Navy, Admiral Mirage Haifeng... were all killed!
Even though it is protected by thick and uniform steel armor with a thickness of nearly 400 mm, it can be directly hit by a 00-kg aerial bomb, and the people inside will definitely walk very peacefully.
The violent explosion shock can also shatter the internal organs of the people inside: the armor protection on the command tower is to protect against armor-piercing bullets with small charges fired by enemy warships, and is not used to deal with aerial bombs...
Full of drama, Mirage Haifeng left the scene hastily and slightly suddenly, leaving only an incomplete and fragmented fleet.
The bottom of the Goblin is still exposed on the sea, and there are goblin sailors who have abandoned the ship and are floating on the sea everywhere.
The Shanshuang has sunk, the Qingyu has also sunk...Although the Mirage has not sunk yet, it has already caught fire, the ship island has been blown up, half of the commanders have been killed, and all command and control has been paralyzed.
A few minutes later, the Motojima, which was actually turning around and escaping, was hit by five torpedoes, broke apart and sank.
About half an hour later, the strong Mirage was sunk. It was only at this time that the Tang State carrier-based aircraft troops, who had been busy all morning, remembered one thing… There was also a Mirage battleship with thick smoke billowing in the distance.
Woolen cloth!
Yes, the battleship Great South Bay, which was the first to be hit by the Styx anti-ship missile, and was hit twice, was miraculously forgotten by the Tang Army.
It was the first to be seriously injured, and ended up falling behind due to the loss of speed. Instead, this battleship became the last Mirage battleship to be sunk.
At 11:13 in the morning, Tang's torpedo planes fired three torpedoes at the Great South Bay, sinking the giant beast that had almost lost its ability to sail and was floating on the sea.
At this point, the Mirage Navy devoted all its efforts and spent ten years to build one battleship, but all of them were sunk.
The remaining small fish and shrimps no longer have the determination to continue fighting, but in this case, the navy captains of these mirage countries also know that they may not be able to escape.
I don’t know who thought of a way to escape, that is, to escape into the nearby port of Da Nanwan! There are anti-aircraft guns and forts there...presumably they can provide some cover.
The worst thing is that the battleship sank in the Great South Bay. At least I can swim ashore to take refuge, right?
After the first warship rushed towards the Great South Bay like crazy, the remaining Mirage warships began to retreat there.
But the Tang army could not let these mirage warships leave so easily, so many more mirage warships were sunk.
The naval battle actually lasted until about two o'clock in the afternoon, because...in addition to the remnants of Mirage's main fleet in the south, wasn't there a squadron commanded by Mirage Haiang in the north?
Turning back again, the northern cruiser squadron that went south to attack the landing site ended up not much better. They were also attacked by Styx anti-ship missiles, and then encountered Tang carrier-based aircraft, which also suffered heavy losses.
What was even worse than the main fleet in the south was that there was no Great South Bay next to them where they could take refuge... So until around two o'clock in the afternoon, the entire Mirage Fleet was wiped out, and not a single battleship remained.
Mirage Haiang died in battle.
…
"Your Majesty! This is the last telegram sent by General Mirage Haifeng." Everyone in Mirage's base camp looked gloomy, and an officer carefully handed the last telegram from the main fleet to Mirage Emperor.
"Read it." Mirage Emperor stopped accepting the telegram and directly ordered.
"All the officers and soldiers of our fleet have fought hard, and the responsibility for the defeat lies solely with Mirage Haifeng. I am ashamed of my love for His Majesty, and I can only die to apologize." After the officer finished reading, he lowered his head and did not dare to speak.
"Is he responsible? Can he afford this responsibility?" Phan Haiping's voice became sharp and he scolded sternly.
It's a pity that Mirage Haifeng can no longer hear his scolding.
"Accurate news, our fleet...one battleship has sunk." Because every battleship is a treasure of the Mirage Kingdom, when every battleship sinks, a telegram, similar to a suicide note, will be sent.
s things.
Not only did Mirage Haifeng receive these telegrams, the base camp also received these telegrams. Now Mirage Emperor, Mirage Haiping, and Mirage Wuk all knew that the main fleet was finished.
"It is not a pity that Mirage Feng should die!" Seeing that Mirage Emperor remained silent, Mirage Haiping had no choice but to continue speaking.
"How are the preparations for the suicide boat?" The Mirage Emperor stopped mentioning the main fleet and instead asked about the suicide boat plan.
"We have requisitioned some relatively fast boats and prepared explosives on them... The training has already begun." Mirage Haiping quickly replied. This kind of special boat needs to be redesigned and built, so naturally it cannot be that fast.
"Hurry!" Mirage Emperor nodded and looked at Army General Mirage Wu Zhong.
"We have recruited 30 pilots who are willing to serve His Majesty... The aircraft is also being modified and a large amount of explosives will be installed..." Seeing the Mirage Emperor looking at him, Mirage Wuk did not wait for the other party to ask questions and directly reported the report.
.
Compared with the Navy, the Air Force's aircraft are readily available, so the speed can obviously be faster. If you want, letting the pilots fly the planes to hit the Tang warships can be achieved in a few days.
But for Mirage Wuzhong, he had to make the stakes clear: "Your Majesty, I believe that it is more appropriate to use novice pilots to carry out the impact mission. If we use experienced pilots, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses."
"What you said makes sense...but...I must remind you! This is war! Any timidity or mercy may lead to failure!" Mirage Emperor narrowed his eyes and said.
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Mirage Vuk immediately lowered his head and said. He knew that if he did not sacrifice dozens or even hundreds of skilled pilots, he might not be able to pass the Mirage Emperor level.
However, he wanted to know, after losing so many mature pilots, how to make up for these losses? Should we let those rookies who have just been trained for a few days fly aircraft whose performance is not as good as those of the Tang people to die in the sky?
…
Chang'an, Forbidden City.
Tang Mo's secretary knocked on the door of Tang Mo's office. After receiving permission, he opened the door, walked to Tang Mo's desk, and presented a telegram: "Your Majesty! The news just sent,
Marshal Bernard wiped out the main fleet of Mirage."
