Chapter 1265: 1266 reinforcements dispatched
Chapter 1265 Chapter 1266 Reinforcements dispatched
In the southern part of the Qin Empire, in the port of the original Shu Kingdom, a naval general of the Qin Kingdom frowned at the officer who came to deliver the message, and asked: "What do you mean?"
"A fishing boat just sent a message on the public channel, saying that they saw some aircraft with very strange sounds on their way back..." The officer spoke with some anxiety and repeated what he had just said.
“What do you mean by a very strange voice?” This general of the Qin State was previously the commander of the Qin State Army. Later, because of his relatively high ability, he was transferred to the Navy.
It is precisely because of his high ability that he cares so much about such a very undetailed information: just now, he had ordered to contact the United Fleet, which maintained radio silence, hoping to confirm the safety of the fleet.
"The other party was not a professional soldier, so they only provided limited intelligence. The message they sent said that the sound was very loud, which I have never seen before." The officer shook his head with regret.
There is no other way. The person who sent the message was a fishing boat, using a civilian public channel, and after sending the message, there was no response from this channel.
Contact has been interrupted, and there is no way to know more information. In line with the principle of not letting go of any information, the officers of the Qin State came over to report this information that did not sound detailed.
Listening to this description, it is easy to think of advanced jet fighters, because after all, in the Qin and Shu countries, there are almost no new things like jet airliners.
But why are there jet planes in the sea near Shu? This is not common sense... The naval general of Qin State kept speculating in his heart, hoping to guess something.
"Report!" At this moment, the officer in charge of communications walked in. After standing at attention and saluting, he reported to his superior: "We sent five telegrams, but there was no response from the Combined Fleet."
"Are there any submarines, transport ships... or patrol aircraft near the fleet?" The general was already worried, and a bad premonition came to his mind.
"There should be a patrol plane and two submarines over there... However, there is no news..." the officer in charge of communications immediately replied.
After receiving the order, he also contacted nearby ships. In fact, no ship responded to him. It seemed as if all the ships in that area of the sea had disappeared.
"There was interference over there." Of course the naval general heard about what happened to the army on the northern front. The Tang State didn't know what kind of weapons it used, but it was able to completely paralyze all the Qin army's communication equipment within hundreds of kilometers.
This kind of interruption of communication and command and the chaos of the troops simply made it impossible for the Qin army to fight. The passive battle situation on the northern front was largely related to the interference of the Tang army.
In order to combat this kind of interference, the Tang Army in almost all areas is laying wired communication facilities. I heard that communication methods such as telephones can be more effective in combating the interference of the Tang Army.
Now, the navy seems to have been disturbed, which means that the combined fleet is no longer safe: they have been discovered by the Tang Army, and the Tang Army has even launched an attack on the combined fleet.
"The situation is not good... If the fleet is attacked, our plan will be completely ruined!" Qin's naval general grabbed the phone on his desk and ordered: "Hello? It's me! Give me the air force command Ministry! Yes...yes! It's me." He paused, and then continued: "The communication from the Combined Fleet has been interrupted, and there is intelligence showing that there are jets operating in the nearby waters..."
Over the phone, the commander of the Air Force was obviously a little stunned. He was stunned for a few seconds before denying: "Impossible! We have never taken off a jet fighter!"
Just kidding, the jet fighters of the Air Force are all treasures, and the number of jet fighters deployed at the ports of Shu is even more pitiful. How could he be willing to let these treasures fly around randomly?
"I know!" Of course the Navy general knew that it was not a flight training or patrol by the Air Force. He said with a heavy tone: "Take off all the jet fighters that can take off immediately... rush to the anchorage of the United Fleet! You may be the Navy's best The only reinforcements awaited.”
After a few more seconds of silence, the air force general finally spoke: "I understand. I will take off all fighter jets and rush to the joint fleet anchorage."
He did not hesitate because he knew what kind of person the admiral on the other end of the phone was. The other party would not hastily request air force support, so the problem must be very serious.
Hang up the phone, the admiral looked at his subordinates again: "Find a way to restore communication! Contact the combined fleet...As soon as contact is restored, confirm their status immediately."
“If they are really attacked, let them move closer to the port immediately!” His idea is simple. If you get close to the port, you can at least get support from the coastal defense forces and a little bit of help, so that you won’t have to fight alone.
After all, he is an army general and does not have much experience in naval warfare, so he immediately thought of the cumbersome defense method close to the coastline.
In fact, the naval fleet would rather escape in the open sea than hide in the port. Because entering the port means losing the navy's most valuable mobility, being blocked by the enemy in the port and attacking wantonly is really the most humiliating and life-or-death ending for the navy.
"Yes!" Several officers hurriedly went to do their own things. They were not sure whether the Combined Fleet had been attacked. They were just sure... The Tang Army was interfering with their communications, and jet fighters seemed to appear at the anchorage of the Combined Fleet. .
Of course, this kind of intelligence alone is not enough to prove that something happened to the United Fleet. Some people even think that even if the Tang fleet arrives nearby, it may not be the United Fleet that suffers.
That’s more than 600 aircraft and 10 aircraft carriers. How could any fleet dare to challenge an opponent of this size?
What they don't know is that at this moment, on the bridge of the aircraft carrier Viva Dorn Empire, the flagship of the United Fleet, John Cleeves has confirmed that the number of ships in his fleet that have been sunk has exceeded 7!
Another battleship was hit and set on fire, and it is still being rescued. Also injured were 2 cruisers and 5 destroyers.
That's right, several destroyers and cruisers were sunk, and an aircraft carrier was sunk... The current combined fleet is already in a very embarrassed state.
