The Lions Empire's naval fleet has not actually been wiped out at this moment, but their losses are a bit too great.
The first few alert squadrons were almost destroyed at this moment. The destroyers and cruisers were all sunk, and the supply ships that followed were also destroyed.
All aircraft carriers in the main fleet have lost their combat capabilities, and the escorting ships have also entered a stage of death struggle.
The subsequent transport fleets were even more chaotic. Some fleets had already begun to return, some ships were flying white flags and fleeing for their lives, while others were still executing orders to move forward.
There are a lot of oil stains floating on the sea, and from time to time you can see lifebuoys and some wooden boards and other things. Of course, the sailors standing on the side of the ship can also see bodies wearing lifejackets.
No way, not all people who can swim and wear life jackets can survive a torpedo explosion. Some people can indeed survive, and some people are already dead the moment the torpedo explodes.
Looking at these things, looking at the messy debris and objects left on the sunken ship, everyone remained silent.
The lifeboat flipped over on the sea, as well as some insulation boards and life jackets... prove that a giant ship once existed here.
But now there are only these things left here, floating in the dark fuel, rising and falling with the waves.
On the radio, you can still hear someone repeating the declaration of surrender on the public channel, "This is the XX transport fleet! We have surrendered! Please do not launch an attack! Repeat, this is the Lanes XX transport fleet, we
Already surrendered, please do not continue to attack!"
Originally, this fleet consisted of 40 ships and 3 destroyers as escorts. When it set off, it was so majestic that the tail of the fleet was almost invisible. But now they only have 7 transport ships left.
The three destroyers had just separated from the formation, canceled their escort mission, and were ordered to return to Bunas, the port of Lions Empire.
Several transport ships also turned and followed at that time. These transport ships that followed were generally new ships with a new design and were launched relatively late. Their speed was generally close to 15 knots, and they could get rid of the submarine.
The remaining transport ships left here are all old ships, and their speed is only 9 or even 8 knots. There is no way to escape.
So they simply hung up the white flag of surrender, then turned and ran while waiting for their own fate.
If the Tang people let them go, they would run all the way back to Bunas. If the Tang people captured them, they would go to Dragon Island to surrender... and if the Tang people launched an attack, they would have no choice but to wait to die.
There is no way, now the entire battlefield is full of old transport ships with a speed of only seven or eight knots. These transport ships are fully loaded with personnel, equipment, ammunition and food.
These ships move slowly, and most of them are requisitioned civilian ships. They have no determination to strictly implement orders and no corresponding obligations.
At first glance, those transport ships that had not yet entered the war zone turned around and ran away. After all, the electromagnetic interference of the Tang Empire did not cover the entire sea area, and the news of the submarine attack was spread out in time.
As the battle progressed, more and more battleships were sunk, more and more transport ships were sunk, and Lines' fleet fell apart.
Some ships received orders from the mainland and began to return, while other ships heard that the fleet next door was attacked and began to flee.
Some of the remaining ships continued to move forward, while others turned and retreated. Seven or eight fleets began to appear in chaos, and the command was completely unable to function.
In fact, when the fleet was about to be destroyed, the Lions Navy did not even know where the flagship was.
They watched the emperor's flag lowered from the aircraft carrier Lines, but they did not see the flag raised on other battleships for a long time.
Originally, the battleship Ice Crystal City was to replace the aircraft carrier Lions and become the new fleet flagship. Unfortunately, before Lions I could even get off the ship, the battleship Ice Crystal City was hit by a missile and was seriously injured.
So Lines I could only stay on the Lines aircraft carrier and wait for other battleships to approach. But then the Lines aircraft carrier was hit by two anti-ship missiles, and even suffered a small-scale explosion.
The violent explosion and the vibration of the ship's hull frightened Lions I. He almost fainted. In the end, the captain of the guard supported him and pulled him back to a safer cabin at the stern of the ship to rest.
After finally recovering a little, Lions I no longer wanted to stay on the aircraft carrier Lions for a single second. He wanted to leave, leave quickly, and go to a safer place.
To be honest, he has been unlucky countless times in his life. When he was still king, the Kingdom of Susas almost captured the capital.
Later, he finally became the emperor with the support of the Datang Group, but he did not control the power. After so many years, he finally took control of the empire and became a real emperor.
But now, he is facing a crisis again, and this time, he may even lose his life here.
I don’t want to die! He shouted loudly in his heart! Even if he returns in defeat this time, he can continue to be the emperor when he returns to Lanes, and he can live on for many years.
But if he dies here now, his power and wealth will all belong to his son! This is not fair! He has not enjoyed enough!
"Your Majesty! The Lines can't hold on for long! We have to leave! Leave quickly!" the guard captain suggested nervously.
He just saw that some soldiers on the anti-aircraft gun positions at the stern had gone to help control the fire. The battleship began to tilt, and they had already felt it at the stern.
The person sent to contact Bloemeyer and ask him to rearrange the battleship to pick up the emperor has not returned yet. It is not known whether he died in the explosion just now or whether he was blocked by the fire on his way back.
Now they have no way to leave, because outside the porthole, the battleship Ice Crystal City was hit again. Tang Jun's anti-ship missile directly hit the Ice Crystal City through the ship. The scene was scary to watch. No one dared to suggest forcing it now.
Scalp removal Ice Crystal City.
"How about we go back to the bridge first?" the waiter next to the emperor suggested.
The captain of the guard immediately rejected this suggestion: "No! There has just been an explosion over there. We are going there now. If there is another explosion, who will ensure the safety of His Majesty?"
"Then, let's get on the boat first! Waiting here... is not an option!" The waiter was as timid as a mouse and didn't want to wait here for a moment.
