Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

In fact, Ye Yunfei has another very powerful weapon to deal with the navy.

That is the aircraft carrier, or ACC for short.

Aircraft carriers are weapons of destructive power. When fighting on the sea, aircraft carriers are invincible.

An aircraft carrier is worth countless warships.

And Ye Yunfei does have an aircraft carrier now.

This aircraft carrier was a reward given to him by the system after the number of people in Longmen reached 400,000 last time.

Before, Ye Yunfei also took this aircraft carrier to the southeast.

He was worried that there might be trouble when dealing with Wu Fatian, so he drove the aircraft carrier over the sea and attacked from the sea.

In this way, with the power of the aircraft carrier, Wu Fatian should be easily dealt with.

However, he did not expect that the attack on land was surprisingly smooth. He had no chance to use the aircraft carrier at all. Wu Fatian's army was almost completely defeated, and the southeastern territory was all occupied by Longmen.

After the southeast battle ended, Ye Yunfei parked the extremely large aircraft carrier in the southeast waters.

Today, the aircraft carrier is still parked in the southeastern waters.

Because we were in a hurry to take over the Northeast from Zhang Hanqing this time, many things were not planned well.

So, no aircraft carrier, warship, or fighter jet came over.

Only brought 200,000 troops.

Now there are no warships guarding the Port of Lushun, and the Japanese happen to appear here again, so it feels a bit troublesome.

If the aircraft carrier were here, there would be nothing to fear.

However, although an aircraft carrier is very powerful, its speed when sailing on the sea may be slower than that of an ordinary warship.

Because the aircraft carrier is so large and surrounded by many frigates, it is like a small island.

Such a huge vessel sailing on the sea cannot go very fast.

And this is indeed the case. The aircraft carrier's cruising speed is indeed average.

If an aircraft carrier departs from the southeastern waters now, it may take two or three days to reach the Port of Lushun.

If that happens, it will be too late.

So, we can only send the fighter jets over first.

The sea surface in front of me was still relatively calm, and there seemed to be nothing unusual on the surface.

Ye Yunfei looked at his watch. It was ten past two.

He said to Liu Zhengfeng standing beside him, "Zhengfeng, how long has it been since our fighter jets took off from the southeast?"

Liu Zhengfeng said: "It's been more than two hours."

Ye Yunfei said: "From the southeast to here, at the speed of a fighter jet, it should take four hours to get there."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "According to the distance and speed, it will take four hours to get there. However, because the journey is quite long, the fighter jets will need to refuel midway, so it may take about half an hour longer."

"We should be able to get there in four and a half hours in the end."

Ye Yunfei nodded. This meant that it would take another two and a half hours for his hundreds of fighter jets to reach Port Arthur.

I hope nothing happens within these two and a half hours.

"Report."

At this time, a Longmen disciple suddenly came over and said, "Master, an unidentified warship appeared on the sea ahead and is heading towards our port."

"What? A warship?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei immediately picked up the telescope and looked towards the sea.

Sure enough, on the sea, there were a dozen warships rapidly approaching the port.

Moreover, all of these warships were flying round plaster flags.

"It's the Japanese warship."

Liu Zhengfeng said with an unpleasant expression.

Trouble.

Ye Yunfei's face also turned gloomy. The thing he was most worried about happened. The Japanese warships arrived.

They must have discovered that there were no warships guarding the Port of Lushun, so they sent the warships directly over.

Take advantage of the current weakness in defense and capture the port directly.

If these dozen or so warships open fire, the consequences will be disastrous.

Ding Li also saw the warships on the sea. He said, "Brother Fei, what should we do? The Japanese warships are coming and we have nothing to stop them."

"If these dozen warships come close, our entire dock will be razed to the ground."

Ye Yunfei said to the Longmen disciple, "How far is the Japanese warship from here? How long will it take to arrive?"

The Longmen disciple said, "It's about twenty nautical miles away. It will enter our port in less than twenty minutes."

More than twenty minutes.

This is troublesome.

It takes more than two hours for the fighter jets to arrive in Longmen.

There was simply no time.

Moreover, even if the fighter jets arrived, they could only barely stop the attack of more than a dozen warships, and could not completely drive them away.

Because the firepower of warships is also very powerful, warships now have radars and anti-aircraft weapons.

They are capable of withstanding attacks from air fighters.

To deal with such modern warships, one can only use the same warships or more powerful weapons.

However, their warships are estimated to arrive at night.

Ding Li said again: "Brother Fei, the Japanese warships are approaching fiercely. It feels like they are less than ten nautical miles away from us. What should we do?"

"If they open fire now, they can almost hit the port."

Ye Yunfei picked up the telescope and looked. Indeed, the Japanese warships were quite close.

He looked at Liu Zhengfeng and said, "Zhengfeng, do you have any ideas?"

Liu Zhengfeng frowned and said, "Master, we have neither weapons to attack nor means to resist. Although there are 50,000 people in the port, they are just sitting ducks when facing warships."

"Weapons such as tanks and mortars on land cannot attack warships. Therefore, if we start a war now, we will suffer heavy losses and will not be able to defend the Port of Lushun."

"So what I mean is that we should temporarily withdraw from the Port of Lushun and wait for our warships and fighter jets to arrive before launching a counterattack."

Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei said, "You mean, give the port to the Japanese first, and then take it back."

Liu Zhengfeng said: "That's right. We should avoid their attack first and wait for our weapons to arrive before launching a counterattack. This is the best option."

"Otherwise, if we use these 50,000 people to fight them head-on, we will just die."

"Also, although we have temporarily retreated, we are capable of retaking the port later. We don't have to worry about the port falling into the hands of the Japanese."

After hearing what Liu Zhengfeng said, Ye Yunfei also felt that what he said made sense.

Without warships and fighter jets, risking human lives to fight against warships would be tantamount to suicide.

If they really defend with all their strength, these 50,000 people might be able to hold out for about two hours until the fighter jets arrive.

However, within these two hours, these 50,000 people may suffer heavy losses or even be wiped out.

These are the elite members of Longmen. There is no need for them to die like this...
