Chapter 114 Brigade Great Battle
Weihai Wei Port, the Tang Army’s first aircraft carrier battle group temporarily requisitioned ports and dock facilities to repair damaged warships in the Yellow Sea War.
The hull of the Chiguo Tianwang aircraft carrier was originally seriously tilted, and Li Haichen ordered the abandonment of the ship and transferred it to the Growth Tianwang aircraft carrier to command operations. The Tang army destroyer was originally preparing to launch a torpedo to sink the Chiguo Tianwang aircraft carrier, but unexpectedly found that the Tang army's first-generation aircraft carrier had stopped sinking.
Until the end of the Yellow Sea War, the aircraft carrier, which was hit by the Japanese Kamikaze Special Attack Fighter, did not sink, but was floating alone on the sea.
The Tang army immediately transferred a tow boat and towed the aircraft carrier of the throne to the nearest seaport Weihaiwei.
When the aircraft carrier Chiguo Tianwang was dragged into Weihai Weigang Wharf, the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty breathed a sigh of relief. This aircraft carrier had special significance to the Tang Dynasty Empire's navy. It was the first aircraft carrier of the Tang Dynasty Empire and also won countless honors for the fleet flagship of the Tang Dynasty Navy for many years. If it was sunk by the Japanese army, it would be very sad.
War sinking and heavy damage are two concepts. For the Tang Navy, the main battleship was not sunk by the Japanese army, which was a victory in itself. Vice versa. For the Japanese Navy, sinking the aircraft carrier of the Tsarkota Tianwang will make the entire Japanese Navy happy, even though their naval main fleet has been eliminated.
The Tang army naturally did not want the Japanese Navy to be happy, so they made every effort to repair the USS Guotianwang aircraft carrier.
Fortunately, the Tsukui Tianwang aircraft carrier focused on defense and anti-sinking capabilities from its initial construction, which eventually helped her survive.
In addition to the Datang naval engineers, many naval workers from the National Government in Weihaiwei participated. When these people saw that the huge hull of more than 20,000 tons of the aircraft carrier of the Tsingguo Tianwang was severely damaged. The huge black holes on it were shocking.
Looking at the entire harbor, more than a dozen Tang army light cruisers, destroyers, escort aircraft carriers, etc. were also severely damaged. Countless workers were repairing the situation. They could imagine how fierce and cruel this naval battle was.
Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty Navy won, just as the National Government Navy won, and people cheered and celebrated it.
However, Weihaiwei's maintenance equipment was not enough to completely repair the aircraft carrier of the Chiguo Tianwang. It could only barely block some of the explosion gaps for it, so that it could safely return to the local dock of the Tang Empire for thorough repairs.
It was not until this time that the naval officers and soldiers of the National Government in Weihaiwei saw the huge gap in the naval power between the two sides, but they soon disagreed. The Tang and China were allies, and the stronger the Tang Empire, the more helpful it would be to them.
The news of the Tang and Japanese Yellow Sea Battle quickly spread all over the world. Although all countries knew that the Tang army would win, they were still uproar after the news was confirmed. The Tang Empire wiped out the Japanese joint fleet twice. If the first time was a lucky one, then this time it was a direct contest between the two sides. The Tang Empire's navy won the victory with its strong strength, and at the same time it won the recognition and recognition of the strength of the Tang navy by the powerful powers of various countries.
After eight years, the Tang Empire's Navy was truly recognized by the great powers as a powerful naval force.
The people of Tang and China cheered and celebrated the victory. Allied countries Germany and Italy also sent congratulatory messages as soon as possible to celebrate the Tang Empire's seizure of sea and air supremacy in the Pacific. They also hope that the Tang Empire's navy could be transferred to Europe to participate in the war as soon as possible. Hitler was ready for the sea lion plan to attack Britain, and the Tang Empire's navy was urgently needed to participate in the war, so that it would be perfect.
In a reply to Hitler, Zhang Meng said that the Tang Empire Navy will go to the North Atlantic to participate in the war within three months, and the Tang and Germany will jointly attack Britain. The Tang Empire Navy will be responsible for restraining the British Empire Navy, so that the Luftwaffe can let go of the decisive battle with the British Air Force.
Several were happy and some were sad. The laughter of the Tang, Germany, Italy and the three countries was based on the pain of Britain, France and Japan, especially Japan, and eventually lost the main force of the joint fleet. The Yamato-class super battleship they were proud of was blown up by the Tang army before they were put into service. The only remaining aircraft carrier battle group was eventually wiped out in the Yellow Sea. I thought that the main aircraft carrier of the Tang army was even more flagship, the flagship of the Tang army, the Tianwang aircraft carrier could save some face for the Japanese army. As a result, the other person's aircraft carrier was shaking and did not sink. The Tang army only lost four escort aircraft carriers, three light cruisers and seven destroyers, while the Japanese Navy paid the heavy price of the navy's total destruction.
Britain and France were also very sad. Needless to say, France had fallen, and it was numb to hear the news of failure. Britain was heartbroken. It was originally expected that Japan could continue to contain the Tang Dynasty and China in the Pacific, but the Japanese navy was completely destroyed. It was only a matter of time before Japan failed on the battlefield in China.
The most important thing is that the Tang Empire Navy has no enemies in the Pacific Ocean, and its main force will be transferred to the North Atlantic Ocean, which will put huge military pressure on the British Navy.
Britain will fight alone in Europe and face military siege from the Tang, Germany and Italy, which is very critical.
The Chamberlain government tried to persuade the United States to join the war, but unfortunately the isolationism in the United States was very strong, the United States and Tang had a non-aggression treaty, and Zhang Meng had a good relationship with Hoover. When the Tang, Germany and Italy achieved great military victory, the United States was even more unlikely to join the war.
However, based on the traditional relationship between the United States and Britain, the United States still exported military supplies and various war resources to Britain. The Americans still wanted to make money in the war, and Hoover hoped to get rid of the troubles of the economic crisis. Zhang Meng even emphasized to Hitler many times that the German naval submarines would never be allowed to attack American merchant ships. Although Hitler was not very happy, he did not want to bring the United States in, nor did he want to unhappy the Tang Empire, the largest ally. Therefore, the naval submarines of the Tang and Germany have never touched the American merchant ships, and they did not give the United States an excuse to participate in the war.
After the victory of the Yellow Sea Battle, the second aircraft carrier battle group of the Tang Empire Navy was immediately transferred to the North Atlantic to prepare to participate in Hitler's Sea Lion Operation.
At the same time, except for the warships that returned to the local area for maintenance, the Tang Army's first aircraft carrier battle group stayed in the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Bay to participate in the brigade battle.
At this time, the Tang Marines had already gathered four divisions in the brigade area. Under the bombardment of dozens of warships on the sea, and under the air cover of hundreds of Tang fighter jets, the armored troops on the Tang army swept the Japanese army in the brigade fortress with a destruction of Gula. In just three days, they captured the brigade fortress in one fell swoop, destroying more than 30,000 Japanese defenders and reinforcements, and achieving a great victory.
However, the Japanese Kwantung Army would not wait to see the loss of the Great Fortress of Brigade. Soon, the strength of ten Japanese divisions carried 500 artillery, 120 tanks and 200 aircraft to launch a full counterattack against the Great Fortress of Brigade controlled by the Tang army, trying to retake the Great Fortress of Brigade.
Hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides fought fiercely on the small brigade peninsula. The Tang army was not in a hurry to attack, but instead relying on the remaining fortifications of the brigade's fortifications to defend, building powerful artillery fortresses and machine gun fire fortresses, and maneuvering cover with various combat vehicles. With the support of the Tang army's first aircraft carrier battle group in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, it confronted the Japanese army.
The Tang army hoped to control Lushun at the lowest cost, because the Tang army had limited troops and did not want to be the main attacking party, but instead restrained the Japanese army, so that the National Revolutionary Army in North China could take on the main attacking troops and form a pincer attack on the Japanese army.
