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

Chapter 49: Shock from the Military Command, Fuso Lands on the Island City

"This is the sixth one. God, how is this possible... This is impossible."

Witnessed by the Hans Emden light cruiser, the sixth coal ship of the Fuso fleet sank in a huge explosion.

"Captain, don't they have more than one submarine?"

"No, judging by the attack marks it shows it was a submarine."

"But I counted, it fired a total of 6 torpedoes at the first three merchant ships, and one torpedo each at the next three merchant ships, for a total of 9 torpedoes. It took less than 20 minutes, so how could it reload so quickly?

And his shooting percentage is so high, how does he do that?"

Lieutenant Colonel Kelun said quietly, "There's one more thing I want to add. We still haven't found its periscope. Damn it, how did they do that?"

Too many questions popped up in their minds without answers.

Lieutenant Colonel Colen was very eager to know the answer.

When it comes to the country with the most powerful submarine technology and the one that values submarines the most, they are undoubtedly the ones in the world.

So since the last war severely damaged them, they have never stopped researching submarines, but the technology has not made much progress.

But in the far east, this battle in the vast ocean opened his eyes.

Six merchant ships were sunk in just 20 minutes. This efficiency cannot be described as high, it is simply incredible.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that the other side has no escort ships.

But at least their single submarine cannot hunt so efficiently.

This proves that the submarine that cannot be seen underwater is more advanced than the submarines of their Hans Navy.

This was a little hard for Colen to accept.

At the same time, he was eager to know the answer, but reason restrained his thoughts.

If he rushed forward in the Emden cruiser, he might be hit by several torpedoes before he even noticed the enemy.

Although its Emden cruiser had thicker armor than those merchant ships, it was still severely damaged after being hit by two torpedoes.

Not to mention his light cruiser, even a battleship would be in trouble if hit by two torpedoes.

It was not until half an hour later that a violent explosion was heard from the seventh merchant ship. It was instantly engulfed in flames and then sank rapidly.

This was also the last merchant ship sunk by the 201 boat. The rest of the merchant ships had already run away and could no longer be detected by the sonar.

"Excellent, Captain. This time we have sunk a total of seven Fuso merchant ships. The estimated total tonnage sunk is around 7 tons, leaving us with tons to reach tons."

A smile also appeared on Song Yang's face.

This battle was a good start for them.

"How many torpedoes are left?"

"Except for the nine T9s launched, there are 4 torpedoes remaining.

However, there are only 4 T7 torpedoes, and the remaining 13 are T5 torpedoes.

The remaining power can support one hour of sailing at 12 knots."

After hearing this data, Song Yang nodded and said, "Judging from the Fuso fleet, there must be quite a few of them. We won't go to the Whale Sea first, but cruise along this route. I think we will still have some results."

The purpose of going to the Whale Sea is to attack the Fuso merchant ships. Since there are also some on this route, we can just wait here.

If you don't see one for more than 3 days, it's not too late to go to the Whale Sea.

The news of the attack on the 28th Fleet was passed through layers of communication and landed on the desk of Prince Ryunosuke Nagashima, the Chief of the Naval General Staff.

When he saw that the 28th fleet was ambushed by an unknown submarine and almost wiped out, his heart sank.

The first thought that came to his mind was that this unknown submarine was related to the Renaissance Army.

His guess was not groundless.

First, the Renaissance Army has been looking for trouble with them recently and even issued a declaration of war. Judging from the motive, it can only be the Renaissance Army.

Secondly, both the Fuxing Army and Jiang Hua are very mysterious, and no one knows their weapons channels. Since they can get airplanes, tanks, and cannons, it is not impossible for them to get submarines.

Thinking of this, he was almost certain that it was Jiang Hua who did it.

"Baga, who is actually supporting this Jiang Hua? Hans? Impossible, they have always been cooperating with Northern Frontier, it is impossible for them to choose the hostile Fusion Army.

Citi, John, Gallic Chicken and the Southern side cooperate very closely, so it is impossible.

The Russian bear? But that's unlikely. If we have to choose, we should choose the Saibei Army, not a small Fuxing Army.

Damn it, who is it?"

After thinking for a long time without any answer, Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke had to give up.

"Equip each convoy with escort vessels and organize an anti-submarine team to find this submarine for me.

Especially on the route from the mainland to the island city of Qidong Province, we must strengthen anti-submarine operations and must not allow this submarine to cause trouble."

Next, the navy will assist the army in landing on the island city in large numbers, and this route will definitely be very busy.

Then Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke picked up another report and started reading it.

This report is about the plan to bombard Donglai City in Qidong Province and the selection of ships to be included in the formation.

The number of ships involved in the shelling was not large, only 10 in total.

其中二等驱逐舰3艘、一等驱逐舰2艘、轻型巡洋舰2艘、重型巡洋舰2艘、战列舰1艘。

Although the number is small, these 10 warships are fully capable of causing devastating damage to the urban area of Donglai City.

After reading the plan, Prince Ryunosuke Nagashima signed his order on it.

On the Korean Peninsula, in a port in the central region, fleets loaded with combat personnel, equipment and supplies set out in a mighty procession.

The fleet will sail nearly 300 nautical miles at sea and land after arriving at the port of the island city.

A 300-nautical-mile journey takes only one day for a fleet with an average speed of 12 knots.

Including the speed of unloading, it only takes three days in total.

After receiving the telegram from Fuso, Yuan Shicheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I can finally put my mind at ease.

Jiang Hua is so ignorant that he goes to provoke the Fuso people. He will soon find out how powerful they are.

Then orders were issued one after another from the Prime Minister's Office.

The troops of the Northern Frontier Army also gathered towards Quancheng and Daocheng.

Quancheng is the provincial capital, and is also a railway and transportation hub, serving as an important channel connecting Zhili with Qidong Province.

So there is no room for error here.

The troops departing from Zhili have arrived in Quancheng by train, and the troops evacuated from the Zhulu battlefield are also rushing here.

Two more divisions of troops set out along the highway towards the island city.

They also arrived at the island city before the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division of the 2nd Corps of the Renaissance Army and began to deploy defenses.

Although the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division is a mechanized infantry division, it has strong mobility.

However, the hills and mountains in the northern part of Qidong Province still slowed down the advance of the 7th Mechanized Infantry Division to a certain extent.

In addition, there were people causing sabotage along the way, and the local security team, under orders, carried out large-scale destruction of roads and bridges along the way.

Although the engineering corps repaired the damage quickly, it still took some time.

It took the vanguard two days to reach the island city, and by this time the Fuso fleet had already arrived at the island city port.

The 5th and 6th Motorized Infantry Divisions have already occupied Beiwei City, which is located between Quancheng and Daocheng, and cut off the passage between Quancheng and Daocheng.

Next, the 5th Motorized Infantry Division will launch an attack on Quancheng.

The 6th Motorized Infantry Division launched an attack southward from Beiwei City and occupied Yishan City.

This is also the channel for Zhulu to support the island city.

As long as Yishan is occupied, not only can the Northern Frontier Army from Zhulu be stopped, but the entire southern region of Qidong Province can also be controlled.

“Buzz buzz buzz…”

An RB-17G high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft broke through a layer of clouds, and the view suddenly became clear, and the outline of the island city came into their sight.

"We've arrived at the island city!"

Then the RB-17G reconnaissance plane continued to fly forward. At this time, the observer inside the glass cover on the nose of the plane discovered something unusual on the side of the island city port.

"Why are there so many ships parked at the port? Speed up and fly closer."

As the distance got closer, the observers finally understood why there were so many ships parked here.

"Oh no! It's the Fuso people. It's the Fuso fleet. They've landed in the island city."

"what?"

The observer's exclamation was transmitted to the ears of others through the headset, causing a burst of exclamations.

"The speed of the Fuso people is surprisingly so fast."

"Fly closer. I want to take some photos. The radio operator should immediately send a message to the brigade headquarters to report this information."

Soon the RB-17G reconnaissance plane flew over the port, and the camera started working, continuously taking pictures of the port.

In the harbor, a Japanese brigade commander frowned at the black dot in the sky and asked, "Is this a plane from your navy?"

The officer in naval uniform nearby took a look and his expression changed.

"This is not our plane."

If it’s not from the navy, then it must be from the Renaissance Army.

Thinking of this, the brigade commander's face changed.

"Have your plane shoot it down. It must be a reconnaissance mission."

He didn't need to say that the navy would do the same.

Soon, two Type 17 carrier-based fighter jets patrolling the nearby airspace roared towards the RB-G reconnaissance aircraft.

"Two enemy fighter planes were spotted at 7 o'clock. They are Type carrier-based aircraft. There are also Fuso aircraft carriers nearby."

The bomber had a complete illustration of Japanese fighter planes, so it was not difficult for them to see that the two approaching fighter planes were Type 3 carrier-based aircraft.

This Type 29 carrier-based aircraft is also a new type of carrier-based aircraft that only began to serve in years.

This is also a biplane carrier-based fighter designed and built by Nakajima Heavy Industries based on John's Chicken fighter.

It has a flight speed of 241 kilometers per hour and a maximum range of 370 kilometers.

The weapons are two 7.7mm machine guns.

The two Type 200 fighters flew towards the RB-17G reconnaissance aircraft at a speed of more than kilometers per hour, which seemed very slow to the crew members.

Although this is a reconnaissance aircraft, it is equipped with a large number of machine guns for self-defense on the upper and lower fuselage.

Obviously, the Fuso pilot did not know how powerful the firepower of this reconnaissance plane was.

In their opinion, this large reconnaissance plane would soon become their military achievement.
