Strictly speaking, letting the "Occurrence-5E" of the two brigades under the cover of the "War-9B" of the two brigades, the long-distance attack on Weisha Military Port is more like a tactical feint.

However, it is not necessary to deploy heavy attack aircraft or even air force to deal with the three frigates of the Fanluo Navy's Eastern Fleet. The three frigates were parked next to the dock and could not escape at all. It is enough for the submarines ambushing outside the port to launch anti-ship missiles.

The highlight of the day was on this side of the West Coast.

Although from the perspective of a global war, the Vanluo Kingdom had no need to develop a navy at all, because even if it was to do its best to build a navy, it would not be possible to shake the hegemony of the Imperial Navy. However, in order to maintain the so-called regional hegemony and to restrain the Imperial Navy, the Vanluo Kingdom still built a navy that was not too small in scale and not too poor in combat effectiveness within its ability.

Of course, this is also inseparable from the support of the Republic of Newland.

Before the outbreak of the war, the Fanluo Navy had a total of more than 100 ships and more than 40 large ships, including 2 imported light aircraft carriers.

Almost all of these large warships were deployed in Mengmeng.

In fact, in the Fanyan Ocean, the strength of the Fanya Navy is only under the Imperial Navy, and it is also the first maritime power to have aircraft carriers in the Fanyan Ocean region.

Interestingly, these two small aircraft carriers have no direct relationship with the Republic of Newland, but are imported from the Kingdom of Sban. They were all built during the last war. After the war ended, they were handed over to the Kingdom of Sban as light aircraft carriers. After the service period reached, the Kingdom of Sban sold these two aircraft carriers to the Kingdom of Vanluo as "scrap", but they needed to be funded by the Kingdom of Vanluo.

Of course, the shipyard in Sban Kingdom must have undertaken the renovation project.

To be honest, the Sban Kingdom has gained a deeper understanding of the internal structure of the aircraft carrier by modernizing and improving these two aircraft carriers, and has also trained the design and construction teams to lay the foundation for the next construction of the "strategic support ship", which is the small aircraft carrier designed by the Republic of Newland.

However, these two small aircraft carriers that have been in service for more than half a century are only used as decorations.

During peacetime, these two aircraft carriers often went to the Pakistan Railway offshore, saying that they were showing off their military power. However, after the war broke out, it was precisely back to Mengmai Port before the Kingdom of Vanluo officially joined the war and entered the inner port, without any intention of going to go to sea to fight.

In addition, dozens of "Sea Harrier" fighter jets carried by aircraft carriers also went to the air force base.

As for other large ships, they also huddled in Mengmai Port.

Actually, this is easy to understand.

Before the Kingdom of Vanluo officially entered the war, the Imperial Navy deployed submarines outside its main port, but did not attack passing ships.

The key is that what the Fanluo Navy lacks the most is its anti-submarine combat capability!

Although the Fanluo Navy has more than 20 destroyers and frigates, two light aircraft carriers can also carry anti-submarine helicopters, and dozens of anti-submarine patrol aircraft deployed on land, it is not targeting large attack submarines of the Imperial Navy, but small submarines of the Pakistan Railway Navy.

In addition, the Fanluo Navy is basically unable to provide cover for anti-submarine patrol aircraft in the long sea, so it does not have the ability to perform anti-submarine missions in the long sea. Strictly speaking, after flying out of the effective range of long-range air defense missiles, it is difficult for the Fanluo Navy's anti-submarine patrol aircraft to survive.

Unfortunately, all long-range air defense missiles belong to the Air Force and are only enough to protect the main strategic facilities.

It was precisely because I was unsure that the Fanluo Navy retreated back to the port.

In addition, the disaster that occurred outside Weisha Port at the beginning of the month also had a great impact.

After the large missile boat sank outside the port, the first thing the Fanluo Navy thought of was not a mine, but a torpedo launched by a submarine. A few days later, an anti-submarine patrol aircraft of the Western fleet discovered the whereabouts of the submarine outside the Mongmei Port, and it was also determined that it was a large attack submarine of Liang Xia Navy. Then, the day after the "Battle of North Honu Island", the Imperial Navy fired more than 200 cruise missiles at Mongmei Port.

After these strikes, the Vanluo Navy concluded that the Imperial Navy had deployed more than a dozen large attack submarines outside the Port of Mumai.

Obviously, this is obviously an exaggeration.

Make excuses for cowardly avoiding war by highlighting threats.

Even at the most, there were only 3 submarines moving outside Mumai Port, and the distance from Mumai Port was more than 50 kilometers.

In theory, only one large attack submarine can block Mengmai Port.

That's why it was reduced to 2 ships in mid-October, and there was a front-and-back deployment. Only one ship was on standby outside Mumai Port, and the other one was active in the far sea, mainly to monitor passing ships and assist the shore-based aviation forces and regional fleets to implement a strategic blockade on the Vanluo Kingdom.

As for the cruise missiles attacking Mengmai Port, they were launched by large warships of the 31st Special Mixed Fleet.

All of these warships come from the 51st Special Mixed Fleet.

The main reason is that in peacetime, the Third Fleet stationed in Fanyan Ocean was actually an regional squadron and did not undertake too many combat tasks. Even after the outbreak of the Boshawan War, the battle groups that entered Muahai and Boshawan were organized under the name of the 52nd and 53rd Special Mixed Fleets. It was not until the 51st Special Mixed Fleet was defeated and evacuated from Lu Xinhai that the Third Fleet was strengthened.

According to the navy's arrangement, these large warships from the 51st Special Mixed Fleet will go to Nanxuan Kingdom at the end of the year and be incorporated into the upcoming 71st Special Mixed Fleet. In the future, it will focus on sea-making operations and will need to adjust ammunition before it will be sent to carry out the task of attacking Mengmaigang.

Even if those cruise missiles are not used, they must be taken out from the vertical launch system after arriving at Nanxuan's military port.

Rather than being so troublesome, it is better to use it before this.

In this way, the ammunition can be supplied in the Jibu Fortress, saving the trouble of transporting to Nanxuan Kingdom.

In any case, under the huge threat of submarines, the Western fleet built by the Vanluo Navy was still a turtle.

It is precisely because of this that after the war, many people believed that the unimprovement behavior of the Vanluo Navy missed the best opportunity to seize the initiative in the war. Some people even felt that this was one of the main reasons for the decline of the Western Alliance led by the Republic of Newland and its defeat.

According to these people's views, there was an excellent opportunity to seize the initiative in the Fanyan Western battlefield at that time.

The reason is that the Imperial Navy's military presence in Fanyan Ocean fell to the bottom and it will not be restored until the beginning of the 151st year of the New Calendar.

To put it simply, the Imperial Navy is really like this.

At that time, the 51st Special Mixed Fleet basically lost its aviation combat capability, and the other three aircraft carrier battle groups participating in the Posa Bay War were also in a "non-war" state. All three aircraft carriers were resting in the Kibu Fortress. Even if they could go to sea to fight, there were no carrier-based aircraft available.

The main reason is that during the Posa Bay War, almost all carrier-based aircraft were dispatched beyond the standard, and more than half of the carrier-based aircraft had to be returned to the factory for overhaul, and the rest also needed to be fully maintained.

In addition, the pilots of these carrier-based aviation corps are not in the state.

In order to get the pilots to adjust as soon as possible, the Imperial Navy sent them to the resort area on Socotra.

The place has always been an exclusive care resort for senior generals and has never been opened to grassroots officers and soldiers.

It is precisely because of this that the escort warship of the 51st Special Mixed Fleet was drawn out and the 31st Special Mixed Fleet was formed, and then participated in the combat operations against the Vanluo Kingdom.

If the Western fleet of the Vanluo Navy could rush out from Mummei Port at this time, it would be unstoppable.

Unfortunately, this possibility is not possible at all.

Not to mention the aviation troops deployed in Slan, the submarines that were just squatting outside Mumai Port could send the Western fleet to the bottom of the sea.

Of course, blockade cannot completely eliminate the threat.

This is precisely because after completing the adjustment of the troops, the Imperial Navy immediately organized an aviation force to launch a strike against Mumai Port and the Western fleet.

For this purpose, the Imperial Navy dispatched 40 "War-9B" from two brigades and 80 "Occurrence-5E" from four brigades.

The fleet set off on the afternoon of the 24th.

When choosing this time, it is mainly necessary to determine whether there is a long-range alert radar that destroys Trifan to ensure that the strike performance can be carried out in a concealed manner.

After taking off, the fleet first flew southwest to avoid the Varo land.

After bypassing the Maldives Islands, he turned to fly northwest, and before turning, he joined the Air Force's tanker for the first air refueling.

Then, the fleet bypassed the Laksha Islands from the west.

About 500 kilometers southwest of Mumai Port, after joining with the support formation from Kara Port, the aircraft group organized before the attack.

At around 4:50 pm local time, the first "Occurrence-5E" formation began to drop bombs.

According to the arrangement, the two attack aircraft brigades that arrived first focused on dealing with the warships in the port, using all air-fired anti-ship missiles.

Because of the assistance of early warning aircraft and the targets are all in the port, the Imperial Navy mastered the signal characteristics of the main warship of the Fanluo Navy before the outbreak of the war, so there is no need to use radar to lock the target before dropping the bomb. All attack aircraft enter from an ultra-low altitude to launch an attack.

Even after the bomb drop, these attack aircraft did not increase their flight altitude.

As a result, it was not until hundreds of anti-ship missiles fell from the sky and hit the warships parked in the port that the officers and soldiers of the Vanluo Navy realized that they had been hit by the air.

The result is no suspense.

In less than 10 minutes, dozens of large warships in Mumai Port were all hit.

A few minutes later, the second round of bombing began.

The third brigade's "October-5E" carries short-range air-to-ground missiles, which shoulder two tasks. One is to continue bombing large warships that have not yet sunk or have not been hit, especially two aircraft carriers, and the other is to bomb the infrastructure in the port.

At that time, at least one team of four "Occurrence-5Es" rushed towards the aircraft carrier that had not yet been overturned.

That's why the credit for sinking the aircraft carrier was later counted on these four "Occurrence-5Es".

In fact, according to the conclusions drawn from the post-war survey, the fourth brigade of the fourth brigade that sunks two light aircraft carriers.

These 20 "Occurrence-6E" finally arrived, and they were all carrying 500 kilogram-level laser-guided bombs, and two of them were armor-piercing bombs.

To be precise, it is to use a delay time fuze, and the delay is set to 500 milliseconds.

This delay time is enough for the bomb to detonate after breaking through the coating of general fortifications, and it can produce an effect similar to an armor-piercing bomb.

Of course, it is definitely no problem to penetrate the armor of the warship.

According to the arrangement, the main task of these 20 "Attack-5E" aircraft is to destroy important facilities such as ammunition depots and oil depots.

However, at least one team of four "Occurrence-5Es" flew towards two aircraft carriers that had not yet sunk and dropped laser-guided bombs.

It was this round of attack that the two small aircraft carriers died.

Unfortunately, none of these four "Occurrence-5E" could return to Slan. Three were shot down after dropping bombs, and the other one crashed on its way back.

The result is that when counting the results, no one mentioned the situation of these four attack aircraft performing missions.

In fact, in the attack on Mengmaigang, only these four attack aircraft were lost in total.

On the contrary, in the air combat that broke out after the attack, the 20 "War-9Bs" that covered the retreat of the attack aircraft, shot down 47 Fanluo fighters under the command of the early warning aircraft, and did not suffer any losses themselves. It was because the losses were too heavy that the Fanluo Air Force withdrew all combat aircraft after dark.

According to convention, the Van Luo Air Force later claimed that it had shot down hundreds of invading enemy planes near Mumai Port that day.

Because the fleet had not returned yet, and some attack aircraft were injured by anti-aircraft artillery during the battle, it was not until the morning of the 25th that the Imperial Navy Command announced the battle report, claiming that it had wiped out the Western fleet of the Fanluo Navy at the slight cost of losing four attack aircraft.

Of course, Ding Zhennan got the battle report before this.

In order to confirm the results of the attack, the Imperial Air Force sent a "Dark Night Phoenix" to fly over Mengmaigang that night and took a large number of photos.

There is no doubt about the result of the crackdown, but Mengmaigang has not been completely paralyzed.
