The end of the military era

Because Penang Port is the closest port to the Silver Wolf Empire, when the coastal defenses of Penang Port were being built, the Zhou family was determined to build Penang Port into a strong fortress.

为此利用港口稍微复杂的地形，总计修建了32座炮台，配备有40门45倍口径360毫米岸防炮、60门五十倍口径356毫米岸防炮、80门五十倍口径305毫米岸防炮、120门五十倍口径210毫米岸防炮、60门五十倍口径155毫米岸防炮，火力堪称恐怖。

另外槟城港海防旅还配有一个拥有60门88毫米高射炮、60门40毫米高射炮和120挺127毫米高射机枪的防空团。

结果黑熊帝国皇家海军的舰队，仅仅与槟城港的炮台群对轰了不到2个小时，就被击沉了3艘全主炮战列舰、4艘战列巡洋舰、2艘大型装甲巡洋舰、4艘轻巡洋舰和3艘驱逐舰。

The Black Bear Empire sent a total of 20 escort aircraft carriers to join the joint fleet of the nine navies. This time, in order to destroy Penang Port and Penang, the First Deputy Minister of the Navy of the Black Bear Empire, Murka, brought all 20 escort aircraft carriers.

However, the attack effect of the 20 escorting aircraft carriers was not obvious, and because of the strong anti-aircraft firepower of the Penang Port Coastal Defense Brigade, dozens of carrier-based aircraft were shot down.

The performance of several carrier-based aircraft of the Black Bear Empire is much worse than that of the Golden Lion Empire.

When more than 200 Hantang Empire Royal Air Force fighter jets from several temporary field airports around Penang arrived in the sky above Penang, the carrier aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire were only left to be slaughtered.

On the bridge of the full main gun battleship HMS Giant Lion of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, Volod, the captain of the Giant Lion, held a telegram in his hand and said to Raff, the Navy Minister of the Golden Lion Empire: "Mulka of the Black Bear Empire The general sent a telegram, hoping to get support."

Raff snorted coldly, "Trash!

There is not even a warship of the Han and Tang Empire in the entire Penang Port, and the Black Bear Navy can't even take it down.

Murka brought nearly 200 battleships this time! "

Captain Volod of the Giant Lion hesitated for a moment and said: "General, according to the situation on the battlefield, the Han and Tang Empire built many solid forts in Penang Port, and equipped them with many large-caliber coastal defense guns.

It seems that it is much more difficult to destroy the Penang Port than we expected. "

Raff waved his hand: "Let's go up to help and show other countries the strength of our Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire!"

When the Golden Lion Fleet also joined the attack on the Penang Port Battery Group, the battle became more intense.

It's just that when the time came after 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Ralph, the Navy Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, had to issue an order to retreat temporarily.

这时候黑熊帝国皇家海军的损失，已经上升到了5艘全主炮战列舰、7艘战列巡洋舰、4艘大型装甲巡洋舰、7艘轻巡洋舰和6艘驱逐舰。

而金狮帝国皇家海军也已经损失了4艘全主炮战列舰、5艘战列巡洋舰、5艘大型装甲巡洋舰、8艘轻巡洋舰和8艘驱逐舰。

Moreover, many warships of the navies of the Golden Lion and the Black Bear were injured.

"How thick are the turrets in Penang Port? Why can't even the 400mm artillery shells of the Giant Lion and Flying Leap be able to touch those turrets on the shore?" Raff, the Navy Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, said through gritted teeth.

Volod, the captain of the Giant Lion, said with a bitter smile: "General, those forts in Penang Port are like turtle shells. We are really at a disadvantage when we use naval guns to bombard them."

"We can't just let it go, and order the other seven countries to immediately dispatch carrier-based planes to completely wipe out the Penang port and even the urban area of ​​Penang with aerial bombs!"

"General, the air force of the Han and Tang Empire seems to have deployed many fighter jets in the area around Penang."

This time, Ralph, the Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, did not bring the 12 aircraft carriers and 24 escort aircraft carriers of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire.

Who would have thought that Penang Port, which has lost the protection of the fleet, turned out to be such a difficult bone!

"Didn't the three elven countries bring all the escort aircraft carriers here? I happened to take a look today to see how good the carrier-based aircraft of the three elven countries are!"

After Raff, the nominal commander-in-chief of the joint fleet of the nine-nation navy, gave the order, the navies of the other four orc countries and the navies of the three elf countries gave Raff some face and sent carrier-based aircraft one after another. Started bombing Penang port and Penang.

This time, the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empire, in order to cooperate with the Penang Port Coastal Defense Brigade to guard the port, gathered 3 air divisions around Penang, of which there are more than 406 French s300 fighter jets alone.

Even the carrier-based fighter jets of the three elven countries are not the opponents of the French S406 fighter jets in air combat. This also led to the combined fleet of nine navies using carrier-based aircraft to bomb Penang Port and Penang at a considerable price. heavy.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when the three air divisions of the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Empire gathered more than 3 fighter jets and more than 200 bombers, they carried out an air strike on the joint fleet of nine navies outside Penang Port.

Only then did Raff, the Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, have to announce that the entire United Fleet retreated immediately.

这场大战，总计让九国海军联合舰队损失了18艘全主炮战列舰、21艘战列巡洋舰、8艘护航航母、2艘全钢制战列舰、19艘大型装甲巡洋舰、25艘轻巡洋舰、22艘驱逐舰和上千架舰载机，阵亡和失踪加起来，超过了65万人。

On the side of the Penang Port Coastal Defense Brigade, only one fort was blown up, killing a total of more than 600 people. Most of the casualties came from the air defense regiment of the Penang Port Coastal Defense Brigade.

The fort was destroyed not because the shell penetrated through the thick reinforced concrete, but because a shell hit it through the muzzle of the fort unluckily, detonating a large number of shells in the fort.

The Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Dynasties lost a total of 386 fighters in this port defense battle, most of which were shot down during the air strikes on the joint fleet of the nine navies.

Because many bombers were destroyed, all crew members died, which also caused the Royal Air Force of the Han and Tang Dynasties to die in this port defense battle, and the number even exceeded that of the Penang Port Coastal Defense Brigade.

But compared to the results of the defense of Penang Port, this loss is almost negligible.

Zhou Rui was very happy when he learned of the results of the Penang Port defense battle, and immediately asked the newly established Royal Broadcasting Station of the Han and Tang Empire to broadcast the victory.

At the same time, the Royal Daily of the Han and Tang Empire, which was just launched, also published the detailed process of the defense of Penang Port on the headlines of the front page.

The behind-the-scenes boss of the Hantang Empire Royal Radio Station and the Hantang Empire Royal Daily is the imperial concubine Chu Yingying.

Chapter 266 Four Nations Alliance

After the joint fleet of the nine-nation navy was hit in the port of Penang, the remaining warships directly withdrew to the Zatvina port of the Silver Wolf Empire.

In the conference room of a small two-story building in Zatvina Port, Raff, the Navy Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, said to the naval commanders of the other eight countries in a deep voice: "Everyone, although our nine-nation naval combined fleet has suffered a lot in the first battle It was a loss, but after all, it almost destroyed a coastal city of the Han and Tang Empires, so it can't be called a failure.

I think that our joint fleet of the nine countries' navies should continue to implement the original plan to turn the coastal areas of the Han and Tang Empire on the western mainland into scorched earth!

What do you think about this? "

In order to boost the morale of the nine-nation military alliance, the newspapers of the six orc countries and the three elf countries reduced the losses of the joint fleet of the nine-nation navy by more than ten times, and exaggerated the results of the battle many times.

In the eyes of the people of the six orc nations and the three elf nations, the first battle of the joint fleet of the nine nations' navies was a big victory.

Naval Admiral Bolianka of the Natural Elf Empire frowned and said: "If every port of the Han and Tang Empire on the western mainland had built a large number of strong forts like Penang Port, and the surrounding area was equipped with a large number of fighters.

If our joint fleet of nine navies wants to continue to implement the original plan, I am afraid it will pay a considerable price.

Of course, what I mean is not to overthrow the original combat plan, but to reduce the losses of our joint fleet of nine navies. "

Raf, the Navy Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, said immediately: "Penang Port is a military port, and it was built by the Han and Tang Empires like a fortress.

I don't think that so many ports of the Han and Tang Empires on the western mainland can be built like the Penang port, and there will always be soft persimmons.

I suggest that you can choose the civilian port of the Han and Tang Empire to attack it. "

Murka, the First Vice Minister of the Navy of the Black Bear Empire, said: "The ultimate goal of our joint fleet of nine nations is to force the main naval forces of the Han and Tang Empires to engage in a decisive battle with us.

Ganyang City, the accompanying capital of the Han and Tang Empires, is a port city. Why don't we attack Ganyang City directly? "

Ralph, the Navy Minister of the Golden Lion Empire, shook his head, "The location of the decisive battle must be on the Western Continent.

An expedition across thousands of kilometers of ocean is not so easy. "

Eager to save face, the joint fleet of nine navies launched an attack on Zeyun Harbor in Lanzhou Township of the Han and Tang Empires on April 1550, 4.

Zeyun Port is only a civilian port. Although it has 6 forts and is equipped with dozens of large-caliber coastal defense guns, its defense capability is far worse than that of Penang Port.
