Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Chapter 360: Battle of the Faroe Islands, Hans Navy Defeats

The Meteor fighter planes roared upwards, then exploded, disintegrated, and fell in the air like torches in the sky...

The F-15E fighter only needs to drop the AIM-120 medium-range missiles it carries.

It no longer needs semi-active radar guidance and control like the Phoenix or the Sparrow.

And it is much smaller than the AIM-54 Phoenix.

An F-15E multi-role fighter can easily carry more than nine AIM-9 medium-range missiles.

Due to the need for full escort, two auxiliary fuel tanks were mounted, so the number of AIM-120 medium-range missiles carried was reduced to 7.

These Meteor jet fighters produced in the United States were like moths to a flame, and still could not stop the ancient country's air force's strategic bombing of Mosgrad.

It is also like the powerlessness of the current Tsarist Russia in the face of the ancient country.

The strategic bombing of Mosgrad was very encouraging for the attacking Wehrmacht.

After the strategic bombing ended, they launched another offensive.

In the following period, the ancient country's strategic bombers began to carry out strategic bombing against the main rear industrial cities of Tsarist Russia.

Destroying these industrial cities is more strategically significant than bombing Mosgrad.

The effect of the ancient country's strategic bombing can be said to be immediate.

There was no so-called safe place in the entire Tsarist Russia in front of the ancient country's strategic bombers.

After these industrial cities were destroyed, Tsarist Russia began to have problems with its supply of weapons and ammunition.

Citibank's sea supply lines to Tsarist Russia were also attacked by Hans' navy.

Four Yamato-class battleships, two Hans versions of Yamato-class battleships, two 30,000-ton aircraft carriers, and two battlecruisers constitute the current main fleet of the Hans Navy.

Plus a large number of S-21 conventional-powered submarines.

The Allied fleet on the Norwegian sea route suffered heavy losses.

Basically only two out of ten merchant ships can arrive safely.

Even the United States cannot afford such a huge loss.

So the Allied Combined Fleet began to implement its plan of encircling and suppressing the Hans battleship at sea.

The main force of this joint fleet is the Atlantic Fleet and the English Home Fleet.

The two sides had assembled 10 battleships and 12 aircraft carriers.

The Home Fleet sent out almost all its main forces to destroy the Hans Fleet, which seriously threatened the safety of their shipping routes.

The Hans Navy also sensed danger and began to reduce the frequency of attacks.

However, one of the battleships, numbered H-42, was captured by the Allied aircraft carrier.

The H42 battleship, accompanied by a cruiser and two destroyers, attacked several Allied fleets in succession and then began to retreat towards the port of Norway.

However, this fleet was captured by the cruising English aircraft carrier fleet.

Hundreds of carrier-based aircraft launched from four aircraft carriers launched a massive bombing campaign against the fleet.

The H42 battleship was tough and was hit by 12 torpedoes and more than 30 bombs, and eventually died in the Norwegian waters.

The loss of the H42 battleship also made Hilt very sad.

This was a 7-ton super battleship, which cost 3 million Reichsmarks to build, and yet it sank.

So he ordered the Navy's H-class battleships not to attack unless necessary.

If one ship sank, their navy would only have five battleships left in total, a loss they could not afford.

However, doing so allowed Tsarist Russia to regain supplies from the Allies and recover a significant amount of damage.

Although Hans ordered the battleships not to attack unless necessary, the Allied Combined Fleet was still concerned about these battleships.

When the Allies learned that two H-class battleships were docked in a port north of Norway, they assembled eight aircraft carriers and four battleships and launched a surprise attack at night.

The attack was not very effective, but it also caused damage to two H-class battleships, which took more than a year and a half to repair.

This also resulted in the number of combat battleships in the Hans Navy being reduced to three.

At this time, Hilt started to make mistakes.

Have the navy plan an attack on the Allied fleet to take revenge.

This led to the outbreak of the Faroe Islands War.

The Faroe Islands are located between Iceland and the English Archipelago, at the junction of the Norwegian Sea and the North Atlantic Ocean.

This is also the only way for Hans Navy to reach the North Atlantic.

If Hans wanted to attack the Allied forces, he certainly couldn't go to the English Archipelago. That would be tantamount to seeking death.

So they wanted to go to the Atlantic to hunt the Allied merchant fleet and escape the encirclement of the Allied fleet.

When they were sailing in the waters near the Faroe Islands, they were discovered by a maritime patrol aircraft that took off from the Faroe Islands.

Although it was shot down by fighter jets taking off from the Hans aircraft carrier, its whereabouts were still leaked.

So the main Allied fleet began to gather in the waters near the Faroe Islands and blocked Hans' main fleet.

A naval battle inevitably broke out.

6 battleships and 9 aircraft carriers against Hans' 3 battleships and 2 aircraft carriers.

The outcome of this naval battle is actually very obvious.

Hans was at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of aircraft carriers, and the performance of his carrier-based aircraft was no different from that of the Allied forces.

During the 17-hour naval battle, Hans sank two aircraft carriers, two battleships, and more than 20 other ships.

The Battle of the Faroe Islands directly led to the almost complete annihilation of the Hans Navy, and it never recovered from that defeat.

Jiang Hua also felt a little sad when he saw the information about this naval battle.

Unexpectedly, the strengthened Hans Navy was still no match for the Allied forces.

But then he thought that it was not just the Hans Navy that needed to be strengthened.

The naval fleets of England and the United States were also strengthened under the stimulation of the ancient country.

This can be seen from the number of aircraft carriers of the two countries.

Under Hilt's influence, Hans paid more attention to battleships.

Although two battleships were converted into two 30,000-ton aircraft carriers, the level of these two aircraft carriers was still far inferior to that of the Allies.

The tonnage of the United States' aircraft carriers has reached 60,000 tons.

England's heavy aircraft carrier also has a displacement of 50,000 tons.

But this is also a good thing for the ancient country.

The failure of the Hans Navy meant that they had lost the ability to go to sea and could only be trapped on the European continent and become a land power.

As for the territories outside Europe, the ancient country can only rely on itself.

As for the strength of the ancient country's navy, it only needs one fleet to challenge the allied navy.

After the ancient country carried out a new round of military adjustments, the navy currently has five major fleets under its jurisdiction.

The ships also underwent a new round of replacement.

Because during this period, shield ships had already appeared.

These new shield ships also replaced the nuclear-powered cruisers and destroyers in service with the ancient navy.

The navy is the core prerequisite for the ancient country to achieve the strategic goal of human alliance.

Therefore, Jiang Hua directly and roughly decommissioned the warships that were already outdated.

Although this will cause a huge waste.

Take the Long Beach-class nuclear-powered cruiser for example. After the second modernization modification, it is still usable, but it does not have a vertical launch system. However, it can still be equipped with the Aegis combat system.

However, the cost of the modification is enough to equip a Ticonderoga-class cruiser, so what's the point of modifying it?

Therefore, we adopt the method of decommissioning parts, equipment parts and construction parts for updating and iteration, and no modernization modification is carried out to extend the service life.
