Chapter 599 Naval Assembly
At about 5:00 pm on October 4th in the third year of Tianxuan, Sylvia Ocean has basically completed the preparations for the Battle of Dawn of the Navy on October 5th.
However, Qu Mao still chose to summon Sylvia Ocean, Fur Swamp, Christine Sirian, and Shank at exactly seven o'clock after the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet stopped fighting because of darkness. Naval heroes such as Cyril Rhett, Lesa Middleton, Justin Smith and Li Huamei held a meeting.
This time, the naval assembly meeting was not even invited to the powerful second-line naval heroes such as Lilu Argot and Yiwen Wooding. Only the heroes of the first echelon of the navy were invited to attend the meeting.
A group of naval heroes walked into the living room on the first floor of the lord's cabin with arrogance and arrogance, their faces full of unconcealable fighting spirit.
Qu Mao said straight to the point: "Dear naval heroes, thank you for your contribution to the territory of Yi Town.
The main force of the navy fought repeatedly with the Mughal Empire invasion fleet day and night for more than 10 days, which not only wiped out nearly one-third of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet’s combat power, but also delayed the arrival of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet to our territory. Ten days has given our territory plenty of time to prepare for combat.
Navy Princess Fleet and Cruise Fleet patrol the surrounding waters of the territory day and night, large and small naval battles continue day and night, protecting the security of the territory of Yi Town, and more than tens of thousands of prisoners of war are captured every day.
I am very clear that our navy, whether it is the main force, the princess fleet or the cruise fleet, is already exhausted and will fight again without a good rest.
Every time I think of this, I feel a little ashamed of our navy, but the enemy army is overwhelming, and you have all seen the cruelty of the anti-landing operations these days..."
Sylvia Ocean waved his hand and said, "My lord, the purpose of the Yizhen Territory Navy is to defend the security of our territory. Whether it is an expedition to meet the enemy or a cruise to kill the enemy, it is our duty.
Now the Mughal Empire invasion fleet has repeatedly stormed the islands in our Yizhen territory. It is also the incompetence of our navy that caused the Mughal Empire invasion fleet to directly launch a landing operation, which shows that our navy has not killed the enemy in the open sea.
Without defeating the invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire, the subordinates finally had trouble sleeping and eating all day long. They had long wanted to fight on behalf of the navy, but the adults always sympathized with the fatigue of the navy and failed to agree.
Please rest assured, my subordinates are full of confidence in the decisive battle at dawn tomorrow. "
Fur Swamp and other naval heroes also expressed the attitude of the navy that they are not afraid of war and death, eager to fight to the death with the invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire.
Qu Mao nodded and asked, "Sylvia, how is the navy assembled and prepared?"
Sylvia Ocean glanced at Faur Swamp.
Fuer Swamp coughed and cleared his throat, and said: "My lord, the Navy currently has a total of 507 refitted warships and more than 1,500 unmodified warships. The total number of warships is already on the same level as the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet. Combat warships, our number of warships is slightly higher than the total number of warships in the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet.
Although the Mughal Empire’s invasion fleet set out from two ports, with a total of 3,000 warships, one-third of them were sunk by our navy on the way here. There are also 500 troop carriers.
After coming to the territory of Yizhen, they fought for days, especially when they landed in Beigang, Jidao, and captured more than 80 ships by Mr. Zhao Pan of the army. The number of combat warships that the Er Empire can still produce does not exceed 1,400.
The total number of warships that can be deployed by our army can reach 1,800. Judging from the number of warships alone, we have far surpassed the invasion fleet of the Mughal Empire. Therefore, our navy in the territory of Yizhen will definitely be able to defeat the Mughals in one battle tomorrow. Imperial invasion fleet. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Talk about your specific battle plan."
Sylvia Ocean took out a map of Yi Town territory and spread it on the table in the living room, and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, the entire decisive battle will be carried out in five stages.
In the first stage, the main force of our navy departing from Zhongdao Sea Fortress devoured all the more than 130 warships attacking Zhongdao with lightning speed. Zhongdao southeast waters.
In the second stage, after the main force of the navy sank the warships of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet that attacked Naka Island, they immediately set off for the four southern islands between Gan Island and Bo Island. There are a total of 150 enemy warships around the four southern islands. Cruise, and usually anchor in the waters between Gan Island and Bo Island at night.
In the third stage, it is estimated that the sky is already bright, and the islands are conducting anti-landing operations as they did a few days ago, but the main naval fleet will quickly set off to Jidao, and the troops will be divided into two groups to outflank Jidao, and quickly eliminate the total of 10,200 attacking Jidao. warship. The entire princess fleet is dispatched to assist the outlying island army to resist the landing operation of the Mughal Empire invasion fleet, and the cruise fleet assists in the anti-landing operation on Yi Island.
In the fourth stage, after the main force team sank the enemy warships besieging Ji Island, they joined forces again, and joined forces with the Princess Fleet from inside and outside, attacking back and forth, and completely wiped out about 400 enemy warships attacking outlying islands.
In the fifth stage, the main battle force and the Princess Fleet rushed to the Isle of Yi at two ends, and merged with the cruise fleet to destroy more than 500 enemy warships attacking the Isle of Yi in the same way.
After all, this time we are using 1,800 warships to fight 1,400 capital warships, with an absolute superior force. "
Qu Mao said: "All of our 1800 warships can be assembled? How is the fleet organized?"
Sylvia Ocean glanced at Christine Sirian.
Christine Silian walked to the table and said to Qu Mao: "My lord, except for the 375 refitted warships of the original main force, the remaining 125 refitted warships will be handed over to Shanks Ray. Germany, Shanks Reid is incorporated into the main force, and the number of refitted warships in the main force can reach 500.
In addition to the original 280 warships, the Princess Fleet added 3 refitted warships to suppress prisoners of war and deployed 120,000 prisoners of war, and newly installed 200 unmodified warships of various types as vanguard troops. Install 483 warships.
In addition to the 680 warships at the beginning of the cruise fleet, 4 refit warships were added to suppress the warships for the deployment of prisoners of war, and 360,000 prisoners of war were recruited, and 250 unmodified warships of various types were deployed. Similarly, the cruise fleet has a total of 934 ships.
In this battle, the Yizhen Territorial Navy dispatched a total of 1917 warships. Including prisoners of war, our dispatched troops reached 1.32 million. "
Qu Mao frowned and said: "It seems that this force cannot guarantee that all warships will be fully loaded?"
Shanks Reid said: "My lord, the main ones who are dissatisfied with the warships are the warships equipped by prisoners of war, so don't worry."
Sylvia Ocean said: "My lord, before dawn tomorrow, we plan to launch an attack on the Mughal Empire invasion fleet attacking Zhongdao at three o'clock in the morning, half an hour of long-range coverage can end the battle.
Then the main navy team bypassed Bo Island in two ways, and directly attacked the 150 warships cruising around the four southern islands. The same combat time would not exceed half an hour.
What affects our combat more is the time spent at sea. After defeating the warships on the four southern islands, we will divide our troops into two routes around Ji Island to harvest the enemy warships that besieged Ji Island. The total number is only about 200, but the South Port of Ji Island, There are scattered nighttime moorings in the waters around Beigang of Jidao, and it is a little more difficult to fight.
When attacking the Mughal Empire invasion fleet on outlying islands, with the assistance of the Princess Fleet, it may be a little faster.
Of course, the subordinates also deployed 150 troop carriers on Zhongdao, Bodao, and Ludao each, and the army assisted in salvaging the soldiers and prisoners of war from both sides who fell into the water. "
Qu Mao asked: "In the first three and a half days, the army fought fiercely. They originally had fewer troops than the navy. This time, can some army soldiers land on the troop carrier to assist you in retrieving prisoners of war?"
Ivan Wooding said disdainfully: "My lord, the army fought fiercely, but most of the dead were prisoners of war, and not many soldiers in the army died at all.
Those who boarded the ship to assist the navy were not the defenders on Ji Island, Outlying Island, and Yi Island, but the army soldiers from the Four Southern Islands and Zhong Island.
Master Sylvia has communicated with Mr. Zhao Pan, and the personnel of the army are all ready, so you don’t need to worry about it. "
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Well, the number of refitted warships used by Outlying Island and Yi Island to suppress prisoners of war is still too small, why don't the four of you free up 10 refitted warships each, and assign them to Princess Fleet and Yi Island on Outlying Island? Island's cruise fleet, in order to be safe.
Zhongdao, the four southern islands, and Jidao all have less than 200 warships. I think the 460 warships in the main battleship are also a crushing situation. Too many warships may not be able to move. "
Sylvia Oshen said with a smile: "How about this, each branch fleet of the main battle force sends out 25 refitted warships to support outlying islands and Yi Island, and use them to suppress the warships that are deployed by prisoners of war.
We were thinking about the threat of coastal defense ballistas, but what your lord said makes sense. If the main battleship's warships can't be displayed, the problem is a bit big. "
Qu Mao said: "Since Sylvia and a group of naval heroes have assembled so fully, then I won't talk nonsense, you guys fight hard, and I wish you victory!"
"Triumph!" A group of naval heroes stood up and shouted loudly.
Sylvia Ocean said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates have played wargames many times, and it is absolutely a surefire victory, just wait for the good news, my lord.
Even if the adults want us to take back the sky island in one fell swoop tomorrow and pay a certain price, the Navy can do it. "
Qu Mao said: "Okay, first destroy the warships of the Mughal Empire's invasion fleet, and we will discuss later after recovering the empty island."
