Chapter 2166: The Navy of the Northern Star Empire
Commander Frost Dragon looked at the city before him, whose defenses had been almost completely destroyed by artillery fire.
He couldn't help but swallow.
With such intense artillery fire, several defensive lines in the city were almost completely razed to the ground.
And those cannons were extremely accurate.
All of them landed in the designated locations.
This clearly demonstrates just how high the hit rate of the JF-17 artillery is.
"Cough cough cough."
Don't just stand there.
Now is the time to act, while the enemy has not yet fully restored order.
Leave the enemy's lines and launch an attack.
"Strive to take this city as quickly as possible!"
The Frost Dragon Commander, seeing the group of officers still in a daze, went up and kicked them a few times.
"yes!"
These officers were mobilized immediately.
During the first half of the charge, they encountered almost no enemy fire.
Because of the artillery fire that had preceded their attack, their defensive lines were in complete chaos.
Not many people survived.
Only those who hid in air-raid shelters had a chance to survive under such circumstances.
Those who survived were demoralized by the continuous bombings, and many even threw down their guns and dared not fight anymore.
They were utterly routed.
Only a few soldiers were able to rush back to the defensive line at this critical juncture.
But by this time, the soldiers of the Frost Dragon Legion had already rushed to the front lines.
And those tanks, they had targeted those positions early on.
The moment they appeared, guns and cannons came flying.
Before long, the Frost Dragon Legion stormed into the city.
Compared to previous battles.
This siege was remarkably easy, requiring minimal effort.
The next target, naturally, is the capital city of this country.
"What?"
Within the capital of the Northern Star Empire.
The Emperor of the Northern Star, seated on his throne, heard an incredible piece of news.
One of his vassal kingdoms.
In less than three hours.
They lost two cities and a military fortress, one of which was even their capital.
Their king was killed instantly by a stray bullet during his escape.
This directly resulted in the remaining territory of the country being completely powerless to resist the onslaught of the Frost Dragon Kingdom's army.
They either fled directly to the territory of the Northern Star Empire, or they surrendered with their hands raised.
"We've tied up the Frost Dragon Kingdom's army on the front lines, haven't we?"
"How could they possibly still have troops to attack the countries on their flanks!" The Emperor of the Northern Stars could hardly believe it.
"According to the information we have received."
The Frost Dragon Kingdom also had allies appear during this battle.
It is a navy.
It possesses very advanced warships, as well as aircraft carriers.
Unfortunately, all these cities and military bases were within range of those naval guns and carrier-based aircraft.
"That's why these cities fell in such a short time," the subordinate reported.
The Emperor of the North Star frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "There was intelligence before that indicated that there was a mysterious force supporting the Frost Dragon Kingdom."
That makes sense when you think about it.
How could a kingdom that suddenly appeared become one of the top powers in our Northern Continent in such a short period of time?
This speed of development is beyond imagination.
If I remember correctly.
Our intelligence agents discovered that the mastermind behind this is a group called JF-17.
Send someone to find out exactly what's going on with this JF-17 Thunder fighter jet!
"yes!"
"Your Majesty, now that the JF-17's navy has joined the fray, how should we respond?" someone asked.
The Emperor of the North Star pondered for a moment.
"If it's just the navy, then it doesn't pose much of a threat to our land battlefield."
But we cannot allow them to continue their harassment.
Let's do this.
Assemble our navy, and then send some men to find out exactly how many navies are on the other side.
If not many.
"Then we'll launch the first attack and crush them on the sea."
The Emperor of the North Star seemed to have thought of something, and he said excitedly, "Speaking of which, if we can defeat the army of the Frost Dragon Kingdom's backers on the front lines..."
That might just cause the Frost Dragon Kingdom to completely lose its original illusions.
Then we can extend an olive branch, and they'll know who they should truly follow!
Hearing the words of the Emperor of the North Star.
All the ministers expressed their strong agreement.
The reason why the Frost Dragon Kingdom has been able to hold on is largely because they still rely on the power behind them.
If they could severely damage the JF-17's navy, they could greatly demoralize the enemy.
Under these instructions from the Emperor of the North Star.
The Royal Navy of the Northern Star Empire immediately began preparations.
Don't underestimate the Royal Navy of the Northern Star Empire.
They have a total of three fleets.
These are the Northern Star Royal Navy, the Northern Star Royal Northern Navy, and the Northern Star Royal Eastern Navy.
Each of the three fleets has nearly fifty warships of different types.
In total, there were nearly 150 warships.
On the northern continent, this navy is quite considerable in size.
But if we're talking about combat strength...
The naval combat power of the Northern Continent is still far inferior to that of the Western Continent.
The Western Continent's naval development is at least thirty to fifty years ahead of the Northern Continent.
This can be seen from the fact that a certain proportion of the warships deployed by the Northern Continent are ironclads.
The quality of the two is completely different.
However, the people of the Northern Continent still believe that their navy is powerful enough.
However, the Emperor of the North Star was not an arrogant or complacent person; otherwise, he would not have been able to get to where he is today.
He specifically sent a telegram to his 'allies' in the Western Continent, explaining the situation.
They requested that the other side send naval reinforcements.
The other party readily agreed.
They also indicated that they would send a fleet of fifty ships as reinforcements, whose technological level far surpassed that of the warships of the Northern Continent.
As a result, the Northern Star Emperor prepared two hundred warships to deal with this naval fleet from the JF-17.
In their eyes, they were hunters.
But these hyenas were completely unaware that they were eyeing a giant dragon.
But this giant dragon had actually been eyeing them for a long time.
In a shallow trench on the outskirts of a harbor in the Northern Star Empire.
A submarine from the Dragon Kingdom is lurking here, occasionally using its periscope to observe the movement of warships in the port.
From their observations over the past few days, they have discerned that the Northern Star Empire is deliberately mobilizing its warships.
Over the past few days, the number of warships in the port has been steadily decreasing.
It's clear that something big is about to happen.
This news quickly reached Marshal Medusa's side.
When Marshal Medusa saw this battle report on her aircraft carrier.
She gave a slightly mocking smile.
A giant dragon has been targeted by a pack of hyenas. I don't know whether to be angry or amused.
"Fine."
This saved us a lot of trouble.
We can take down the entire navy of the Northern Star Empire in one fell swoop.
"By then, the entire coastline of one side of the Northern Continent will become our target." Marshal Medusa looked at the Northern Continent before her.
"So, how do you plan to fight?"
A voice came from behind Medusa.
Marshal Medusa looked over.
That person was none other than Emperor Zhao Chen.
To be honest, Marshal Medusa was very unhappy about Zhao Chen, the Emperor of the Dragon, appearing on the front lines.
It's not that she believes the emperor is interfering with her command.
Rather, she was worried about His Majesty the Emperor's safety.
"Aren't you going back yet?" Marshal Medusa tried to persuade her again.
Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "I came here specifically to help you."
Don't worry.
I won't interfere with your commands; just consider me your secretary.
"I heard from Secretary Barbara that you sneaked out because you had too much work piling up lately," Marshal Medusa said, squinting at Zhao Chen.
Their little schemes were exposed.
Zhao Chen showed no shame whatsoever, but said helplessly, "There's nothing I can do about it."
There's just too much work.
Moreover, as I've already said, those tasks can be submitted to the staff department for approval.
You don't have to give me everything.
But Barbara is even more stubborn than Lilith.
All of these things are to be handled by me!
One or two days is fine.
I've been dealing with this for a month now.
I feel like my head is about to explode.
If I don't come out for a while, I feel like I'm going to go crazy.
Therefore, Marshal Medusa.
Please, have mercy and let me stay here a little longer.
It has been several years since I commanded a battle from a warship.
Although this warship cannot fly.
Zhao Chen looked at the antique-looking bridge structure in front of him.
Although the bridge of this aircraft carrier is already very advanced for people in this world, and even uses many designs that they have never seen before.
But for Zhao Chen, he came from an era of interstellar warships.
So these things are really like antiques to him.
However, Zhao Chen didn't mind this kind of experience at all.
It's much better than burying yourself in work at your desk.
"Okay."
But I've already made it clear to you.
"You are not allowed to leave this bridge without my permission," Marshal Medusa said sternly.
"Yes, sir!" Zhao Chen stood up straight and saluted Medusa like a subordinate of Marshal Medusa.
Marshal Medusa glanced at the officers next to Zhao Chen and gave them a meaningful look.
The officers immediately understood what it meant.
His Majesty the Dragon Emperor can stay here, but his safety must be ensured first.
Nothing is more important than his safety.
You may not know this.
"Secretary Barbara is actually Secretary Lilith's cousin," Marshal Medusa blurted out.
Zhao Chen was taken aback.
He then patted his head and said, "No wonder I said this girl looks so much like Lilith."
"We're still family!"
There is no way to get His Majesty the Dragon Emperor to return.
Marshal Medusa could only continue planning for the next battle.
"In order to ensure that all enemy warships can be annihilated in one strike."
Then we need to form an encirclement!
so.
Two fleets were deployed to continue harassing and attacking the vassal kingdoms of the Northern Star Empire along the coastline, as originally planned.
It was as if we had no idea that the Northern Star Empire was preparing to attack us.
At the same time, two fleets were positioned behind the two decoy fleets, maintaining a certain distance.
Then, three more fleets were deployed to the flanks.
When the battle breaks out...
The two fleets at the rear entered the battlefield at full speed.
The three fleets on the flanks were to flank and outflank the enemy at full speed to their rear.
Three lines of blockade were formed.
When the enemy realized something was wrong and prepared to retreat.
"Eat the enemy right here!"
Marshal Medusa's battle plan was simple.
Invite them into the trap, then surround and annihilate them.
It's very simple, but for the navy of the Dragon Kingdom, it's a very effective combat tactic.
"What about the remaining four fleets?" an officer asked.
Marshal Medusa glanced at the other party and said calmly, "Based on the intelligence we received earlier."
The Northern Star Empire's navy has a total of only 150 warships, many of which are ironclad ships.
Even if intelligence indicates that the Northern Star Empire has cooperated with some forces in the Western Continent.
The navy from the Western Continent was invited to provide reinforcements.
How many naval forces can those powers on the Western Continent mobilize?
Don't even mention that some people left.
Even if they mobilize their entire army, they would only have a maximum of three hundred warships.
Let's put them together and say they have five hundred warships.
We have two hundred warships in our seven fleets.
The difference is only 2.5 times.
"The odds of winning are just too high." Marshal Medusa smiled dismissively.
With a difference of 2.5 times, how can the winning probability be so high?
To the native officers of this world, hearing such words might make them think that Marshal Medusa was a bit too confident.
But for the JF-17 officers, this was far too much.
You should know, what were they fighting before?
That's a difference of more than ten times.
So this single-digit difference is nothing to them.
"However, the remaining three fleets certainly cannot be idle either."
The two forces continued their operations on the western continent.
One unit remains as a reserve, ready to support any battlefield where it may be needed!
We'll proceed according to this plan, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.
"Let's discuss this further," Marshal Medusa said, slamming her hand on the table.
"yes!"
This combat mission has been deployed.
The JF-17 Navy's first naval battle on this planet is about to begin.
In the Northwest Ocean.
A naval battle that will shake the Northwest Continent is about to take place here.
At this moment, another naval fleet...
Frost Dragon Royal Navy Fleet
Commander Hordia is on her flagship.
She was still fantasizing about how to coordinate with the fleet to eliminate the enemy in the upcoming naval battle.
Little did they know, the JF-17 fleet was now preparing to wipe out all their prey in one fell swoop.
By then, even though Huo Lidia had warships, she found herself with no rivals.
