Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Chapter 371: Navy’s Combat Strength

This is indeed the case.

Now both sides are in a stalemate.

Because the strength of both sides is similar.

Longmenduo has fighter jet support in the air.

The Japanese won because they had more experience in naval battles.

The advantages of both sides can basically offset each other.

In addition, both sides had twelve warships.

Therefore, the battle has now entered a completely intense state, and no one can do anything to anyone else.

Ye Yunfei was not in a hurry. Not to mention that the two sides were evenly matched and in a standoff, even if the Longmen side was at a disadvantage, he had no worries.

Because the Longmen aircraft carrier is on its way here.

The aircraft carrier is his biggest trump card, and the attack from the warship in front of him is just an appetizer.

His original plan was that if the warships could deal with the Japanese troops, that would be the best solution.

If the warships cannot defeat the Japanese army, it doesn’t matter. We can wait until the aircraft carrier arrives and then clean up the mess.

In short, no matter what, Longmen is now invincible.

It depends on how long this battle will end.

Ye Yunfei looked at the time. It was almost eight o'clock in the morning. That is to say, more than two hours had passed since the battle began, and both sides were still in a fierce battle.

There is still no end to the trend.

Ye Yunfei looked calm and said, "Wait and see how long the fight can last."

Liu Zhengfeng, who was standing by, looked at the battlefield with some concern and said, "Longmen, should we find a way to support this naval battle?"

"If we continue to fight like this, it will be hard to tell who will win. I'm afraid something unexpected will happen."

Ye Yunfei said: "What accident?"

Liu Zhengfeng said: "What if we lose the battle? If we lose this battle, the Japanese may completely occupy the Port of Lushun. At that time, a large number of their troops will enter the Northeast through the Port of Lushun."

"By then, the situation in the Northeast will be dangerous."

"So I feel like I need to think of a way to help in the battle ahead."

Ye Yunfei smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, we won't lose this battle. The Port of Lushun will never fall into the hands of the Japanese."

Ye Yunfei spoke with full confidence. Liu Zhengfeng looked at him in surprise and said, "Master, how can you guarantee that we will win this battle? Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to tell who is better on either side."

"Success and failure are both 50-50. I'm afraid I may not win."

The battle was so intense that Liu Zhengfeng didn't know why Ye Yunfei was so confident and sure that he would win.

In this kind of large-scale naval battle, there are a lot of variables, and a small mistake may directly lead to the defeat of the entire battlefield.

Longmen’s naval combat experience is not as good as that of the Japanese.

Therefore, if the fight goes on for a long time, it seems that the probability of Longmen failing will be higher.

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Since I dare to say this, I have the confidence. Zhengfeng, you don't have to worry. Watch this naval battle carefully and see if you can learn something from it. In the future, we will build a strong navy and gain experience."

After hearing what Ye Yunfei said, Liu Zhengfeng frowned, looked at Ye Yunfei for a few times, and finally nodded.

Ye Yunfei is a very steady person and he basically doesn't take risks.

Now that he has said that, he should have a way to win this battle.

Even Liu Zhengfeng himself didn't know what method Ye Yunfei had to win the battle.

However, he will still believe in Ye Yunfei.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the battle on the sea continued.

After an extremely fierce battle, both sides suffered heavy losses.

Now the entire sea is littered with floating corpses and destroyed and sunk warships.

After several hours of fighting, Port Arthur had turned into a sea of ​​blood.

At least 40,000 to 50,000 people from both sides died on this sea.

The sea water seemed to be dyed red.

As for the warships, after several hours of fighting, both sides suffered heavy losses.

On the Longmen side, six warships had been sunk, and only six were still fighting.

Half of the warships sank to the bottom of the sea.

On the Japanese side, five warships were sunk, and now seven warships are still fighting.

The remaining warships of both sides were still fighting fiercely on the sea.

Now both sides have entered into a white-hot combat state.

Unless the whole army is annihilated, no side will choose to withdraw from the fight.

Judging from the current situation, the Japanese warships have temporarily gained the upper hand.

Because the Japanese still have seven warships left, and Longmen only has six warships left.

It seems like just one more warship, but this one warship is enough to change the entire situation of the battle.

On land, Liu Zhengfeng's face had become very solemn. He said, "Master, something is wrong. We have been fighting for so long and have suffered huge losses. Half of our warships have sunk."

"Although the remaining six warships are still in combat, they have basically been damaged. The Japanese also suffered losses, but they still have seven warships that can fight."

“We’re already at a disadvantage.”

Ye Yunfei held the telescope and said, "I saw it. The Japanese navy is the best in Asia. It is indeed worthy of its reputation."

"If we only talk about naval combat capability, we in Longmen are really not as good as them. It seems that we really need to vigorously develop our navy. Otherwise, it will be too shameful if we cannot defeat the Japanese in a naval battle."

This battle indeed made Ye Yunfei realize that Longmen’s current naval power was too weak.

We must vigorously develop the navy in the future, otherwise, we will likely suffer losses.

Liu Zhengfeng said: "Master, now is not the time to think about these things. We can talk about it later when we develop the navy. The key now is that we are already at a disadvantage in this battle."

"We have to find a solution immediately, otherwise, we might lose. Once we lose, the consequences will be disastrous."

Liu Zhengfeng couldn't understand it. The previous battle had already turned out like this. The Longmen Navy was at an absolute disadvantage and might even suffer a major defeat.

And Ye Yunfei was actually still thinking about establishing a navy in the future. What was he thinking?

If we lose this battle, the Japanese will occupy the Port of Lushun and invade the Northeast from there, and the situation in the entire Northeast will be in danger.

Even the entire war situation in the Republic of China will be changed.

Are you kidding me to discuss creating a navy now?

Liu Zhengfeng was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Ye Yunfei glanced at him and said, "Zhengfeng, calm down. We are just at a disadvantage now, but we haven't lost yet..."
