Chapter 220: Seizing Qiongya Island (Part )
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was time for the naval battle that would decide the outcome.
Feng Ziqi, the Navy Minister of Yan State, took on the important task of commander of the main fleet.
At the same time, in the far east, the Navy Minister of Dongyang State, Yamamoto Noriyuki, was also entrusted with the important position of Commander-in-Chief of the Combined Fleet.
Standing on the command platform of the flagship, this battle-hardened general is majestic and dignified.
On the eve of the war, Navy Minister Yamamoto Noriyuki passionately mobilized the troops before the war: "Brave and fearless soldiers!"
"Today's battle is related to the honor, disgrace, rise and fall of our great Dongyang Empire."
"Let us join hands and jointly defend the dignity and glory of the empire!"
"Victory will surely belong to our great Dongyang Empire!"
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Empire!"
All the soldiers shouted in unison: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Empire!"
Navy Minister Noriyuki Yamamoto continued to shout: "Yoshi, all fleets must work closely together."
"According to reliable intelligence, the main fleet of Yan Nation is approaching here."
"We must strangle it in the vast waters of the Southern Continent."
"In this battle, we can only stop if we win. There is absolutely no retreat."
"If we lose the war, we will have no choice but to retreat to our homeland and endure the humiliation."
"But I firmly believe that victory will belong to us!"
"Hey, Commander, victory will belong to us!" The soldiers' response was thunderous and their morale was high.
In order to ensure victory in this naval battle, the Dongyang State tried its best.
The Army Air Force and the Navy Air Force gathered together, with tens of thousands of fighter planes of various types, including more than 3,000 Zero fighters.
These advanced fighter jets soar in the sky like steel eagles, ready to deal a fatal blow to the enemy.
They are the pride of Dongyang’s army and a powerful guarantee for defeating powerful enemies.
Even countries around the world were in a panic and did not dare to send even one war correspondent to frequently record such shocking moments.
It’s because the scale of this battle is unprecedented and beyond imagination!
If you are not careful, it is very easy to cause accidental injuries.
However, if someone disregards life and death and insists on coming here to record this thrilling naval battle.
Then perhaps it will be remembered forever and recorded in history.
It is true that some war correspondents are brave and fearless, but otherwise how could they have resolutely devoted themselves to this dangerous and challenging profession?
In order to truthfully record the entire picture of this magnificent war, some war correspondents were still fearless and brave enough to die.
They either pilot various types of aircraft or ride on ships of varying sizes, moving forward courageously.
Even though the two countries were at war, these war correspondents were not usually given special attention.
But things in this world are unpredictable and accidental injuries are inevitable.
Moreover, the two countries have already publicly stated that anyone who steps into this vast sea will be responsible for their own safety, regardless of life or death.
It must be understood that the number of various fighter planes produced by Yan Country has exceeded ten thousand!
Such a large fleet undoubtedly demonstrates Yan Country's strong aviation industry strength and national defense capabilities.
Among these many fighter jets, some were dispatched to Annan because of its superior geographical location.
It can constitute an effective deterrent and strike against the joint fleet of Dongyang State.
As for the navy, it has more than 3,000 fighter jets of various models.
However, the remaining fighters must hold the home defense line just in case.
After all, in this operation, Yan State sent out almost all of its warships, leaving the rear defense relatively empty.
If another country takes the opportunity to launch a sneak attack at this time, the consequences will be disastrous.
Today, Dongyang's industrial production capacity is no longer as good as before.
Day after day, they endured frequent air raids and bombings from the Yan State, which caused the domestic situation to be turbulent and the people lived in dire straits.
Up to now, Yan State has lost a total of nearly ten strategic bombers, but fortunately, although these bombers crashed within the territory of Dongyang State.
However, the possibility of Dongyang State attempting to obtain relevant technology from it is very small.
The reason is simple: these bombers are pre-installed with a series of sophisticated self-destruction devices or explosives to ensure that core technology will not fall into the hands of the enemy.
Time flies, and the next morning arrives as expected.
The top priority for the Yan State’s domestic fleet is to capture Qiongya Island.
In this war, Yan State's battleships were like a seriously wounded warrior and could not participate in the battle at all.
After all, it had suffered severe damage in the last war and was still recuperating in the shipyard like a wounded patient on a sickbed.
It will take at least several months to recover.
The Dongyang Kingdom’s joint fleet is now located in the vast sea area between Qiongya Island and Gaoshan Island.
At this moment, a shocking scene happened - hundreds of Annan Air Force fighter jets suddenly took off like birds of prey.
Among them, there are more than 200 attack aircraft.
They rushed straight towards Qiongya Island.
The commander of the fighter formation decisively issued an order through the advanced radio intercom: "Attention everyone! Attention everyone!"
"Our first priority is to destroy Dongyang's air force on Qiongya Island!"
"Got it!" The response was neat and firm.
At the same time, the Dongyang Kingdom's air force stationed on Qiongya Island quickly noticed the aggressive enemy aircraft.
In an instant, thousands of fighter planes of various types took off into the sky like arrows and engaged in fierce battle.
For a moment, the sky seemed to have turned into a huge battlefield, with thousands of fighter planes engaging in a thrilling chase in the air.
However, due to the superior performance of Yan State's fighter planes, many Dongyang State's fighter planes were hit and crashed like birds with broken wings.
Why was Dongyang State able to detect this large fleet of aircraft so promptly?
It turns out that the malicious "troublemaker" Li Jianguo was behind this.
They secretly assisted Dongyang State in building an advanced radar station, enabling Dongyang State to provide early warning and respond.
