Warlord: Red Alert Base, I challenge the whole world alone

Chapter 195: A battle that changed the future of naval warfare, shocking countries around the world

Although the three battleships Hyuga, Kongo and Haruna are all old battleships built during the last war.

For example, the Kongo battleship was built by the Vickers Shipyard in John Country.

But all three battleships were modernized in the mid-to-late 20s.

Its performance is not very advanced among the many battleships in the world, but it is definitely not weak, and can at least be ranked at a medium level.

However, these three battleships, with a combined full-load displacement of over 100,000 tons, all sank right before their eyes in less than an hour.

Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you feel the shock that this naval battle brought to them.

For many battleship officers and soldiers, it was like the sky was falling.

The most powerful battleship in their eyes was sunk by the fighter plane they looked down upon.

Moreover, in this naval battle, the Renaissance Army not only demonstrated advanced tactics, but also displayed a variety of new fighter jets and weapons.

These tactics and weapons will have a profound impact on future naval battles.

"This naval battle will definitely promote the reform of future naval battles.

When facing the attack of fighter planes, battleships can play no role at all except passive defense.

This naval battle will probably be the beginning of the end for battleships!"

On the John Country destroyer, the captain said with a serious expression.

The non-commissioned officer next to him did not refute when facing the captain.

"It's unbelievable that the reform of future naval warfare is actually being promoted by the Restoration Army. They haven't even unified their country yet."

"But have you noticed that in the fields of aviation and submarines, even we are lagging behind the Restoration Army?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell into silence.

As hard as it is to accept, this is indeed the truth.

"boom....."

After the three battleships sank, it was time for the submarines and naval aviation to reap the rewards.

Faced with the attack from the air, the destroyer no longer cared about anti-submarine warfare, but instead increased its speed and focused on air defense.

But they didn't take anti-submarine measures, and the submarine still found them.

The Hurricane-class attack nuclear submarines, having completed torpedo loading, launched a counterattack against these ships.

In less than half an hour, more than ten ships, including the heavy cruiser Kaohsiung, sank in this sea area.

This also made the "observers" feel more deeply the powerlessness of the ships in the face of air strikes.

No matter how advanced the fighter jets and warships are, the cost will be lower.

If warships could be exchanged for low-cost mass-produced fighter jets, I'm afraid all countries would be very willing to do so.

The war is over, but its profound impact has only just begun.

After seeing that the fighter planes of the Restoration Army had left, the observer ships made a joint decision.

Rescue the surviving Fuso sailors.

They did this not out of kindness, of course, but because they needed more detailed intelligence about the naval battle.

Although they had observed the entire process of the naval battle, they knew less than these eyewitnesses.

After all, they were too far away and many things were not clear.

Fuso, Kyoto!

The telegram in the hand of Prince Ryunosuke Nagashima, Chief of the General Staff, slipped quietly, and his face turned pale.

"How is this possible...How is this possible..."

He kept mumbling to himself, finding it hard to accept this fact.

Just as two heavy aircraft carriers sank, the entire battleship fleet of more than 20 ships was wiped out.

This loss was a heavy blow even to the Combined Fleet.

It can even be said that the entire combined fleet is almost left alone.

Previously, the Fuso Navy Combined Fleet had a total of more than ten battleships.

So far, 7 battleships have been sunk by the Restoration Army.

Among them, the Ise-class battleships Ise and Hyuga were completely sunk.

The Fuso-class battleships Fuso and Yamashiro also sank.

Three of the four Kongo-class battleships sank, leaving only one, the Kirishima, surviving.

Now the only three battleships left in the entire Fuso Navy are the Nagato, Mutsu and Kirishima.

Although there were still a few aircraft carriers, the largest ones, Kaga and Akagi, were sunk.

The number of battleships went directly from double digits to single digits.

Not to mention the heavy cruisers, which have basically all sunk.

There are only three Kaohsiung-class heavy cruisers left, which only entered service this year.

As for the first ship of the Kaohsiung class, the Kaohsiung, it sank along with the three battleships.

Dozens of light cruisers and destroyers were also lost.

The number of ships in the entire combined fleet was less than one-third of what it was at its peak.

From this number, we can intuitively feel how badly the current Combined Fleet has been beaten by the Restoration Army.

Before they knew it, the Combined Fleet was completely crippled.

How could Prince Nagashima Ryunosuke, the Chief of the Naval General Staff, accept this?

Not only he couldn't accept it, but Emperor Tamashii couldn't accept it either.

When the ministers saw Emperor Tamehito acting like an angry lion, they could not help but remain silent. No one dared to offend His Majesty the Emperor at this time.

This blow was too heavy for the Combined Fleet.

Compared with the misery of Fuso, the country is now full of jubilation, at least in the more than ten provinces ruled by the Fuxing government.

The two key universities in Shangjing, Shangjing University and Shuimu University, were plunged into a sea of jubilation.

Excited students ran around to tell each other.

"A great victory in the Battle of the Yellow Sea. The Fuxing Army completely annihilated dozens of Japanese pirate ships and sank three battleships."

"A great victory at sea! A great victory at sea! The Restoration Army has won a complete victory."

Although the southern provinces are relatively less active than the northern provinces, they are not small either.

All this is not because the people in the South are unhappy, but because the Southern Association for Regional Cooperation has blocked the news and does not allow the people to celebrate or even talk about it openly.

If it were in the past, perhaps they could have blocked the news.

But with the popularity of low-priced radios from the Parrot factory and the establishment of radio stations, basically one in five households had a radio.

It has become a rare entertainment activity for people across the country.

The cheapest Parrot brand radio was priced as low as three dollars.

This also made radios, once a luxury item, enter every household.

It is also because many families already have radios from the Parrot Factory that they can receive news from the outside world more quickly.

The great victory in the Battle of the Yellow Sea was reported to the whole country through the Northern Broadcasting Station.

Shanghai, the financial capital located in the eastern coastal area of the ancient country and one of the most prosperous cities, also has a large number of Parrot brand radios, with a conservative estimate of more than 20 units.

In a luxurious hotel in the Zhabei area of Shanghu, the two brothers and sisters of the Huang family also heard the news of the great victory in the Yellow Sea.

"Win? Just like that?"

If Huang Shuye had not confirmed that the channel he was listening to was the Northern Broadcasting Station, he would not have believed the news.

Mainly because it is too unbelievable, it feels like a dream.

After all, such a powerful Fuso Navy was defeated so quickly that people couldn't react.

"Brother, I told you that the Renaissance Army would definitely win. Look, it's only been a few days, and they've already won, haven't they?"

"Yes, we won. This battle was definitely not easy to win. We must set off north as soon as possible. I really want to go to the north and see what the difference is between it and the south."

However, when they were packing up to go to the train station, they found a group of big men in black clothes at the door.

The leading man was wearing a windbreaker similar to Huang Shuye's.

"Huang Shuye, our boss wants to talk to you. Please come with us!"

Huang Shuye looked at them with a gloomy expression, and he already had some guesses about their identities in his mind.

Then he winked at Huang Jiahui and nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you, but you must ensure my sister's safety!"

"Don't worry, we can guarantee that no one can get close to Miss Huang!"

........

The news of the Fuxing Army's great victory in the Yellow Sea spread from Dongzhou to the West at the fastest speed.

The first people to know the news were the top leaders of John, Gaul, Citi, Italy and other countries.

This news was like an earthquake to the top leaders of the Western powers, leaving them stunned.

Because their ships witnessed the entire process of the naval battle, and they also had some intelligence from the Fuso sailors.

So they also learned the whole process of the naval battle through telegram.

It is precisely because I know the whole process that I feel even more shocked.

As the news spread, many military scientists throughout the West were speechless.

At this moment, the dispute between the battleship faction and the aircraft carrier faction has been resolved.

In this battle, they did not even see a single ship of the Restoration Army. The three battleships and more than twenty ships of various types on the Fuso fleet's side were all sunk.

This directly proves that the battleships can no longer cope with the threats from the sky.

Therefore, this also directly led to the revision of the battleship construction plans of John, Citi, Gaul, Italy and other countries.

Reducing the number of battleships and building aircraft carriers has become a consensus among these countries.

There is more information about this naval battle than this.

During the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the many advanced weapons displayed by the Fuxing Army became the focus of research by the military and military scholars of various countries.

Through the photos taken, the military, military industry experts and military experts also obtained a lot of information.
