Chapter 612: The Sakura Player as Steady as an Old Dog
"These guys are actually quite tricky."
Above the Monarch airship, looking at the sea below, Jin Ming couldn't help but mutter.
Regarding this, Xia Qi, who had just given instructions to Tang Han, looked calm.
Looking down from the height they are now, we can clearly see that two cherry blossom fleets are slowly surrounding the sea.
The opponent's movements were very careful and had not even entered the radar detection range of their expedition fleet.
Judging from the situation, I'm afraid I've already figured out the performance of their radar in the previous battle.
At that time, once the encirclement is formed, even if Tang Han's expeditionary fleet can forcefully break through with his hard power, he will probably pay a considerable price.
However, all this layout is not worth mentioning for Xia Qi, who occupies a high-altitude vision.
But at the same time, the amateurity of the fishman unit was further revealed.
The control of the positions of each fleet in the sea area should be the task of the fishman troops. As a result, after the fight started, the fishman troops gathered forces to attack one of the fleets. This action directly led to their control over the entire sea area and intelligence greatly reduced.
If they hadn't had their hard power in naval battles, they would have been taught to be human beings long ago according to this style of play.
Following Xia Qi's orders, the expeditionary fleet that directly changed directions quickly evacuated.
During this period, when he looked at the movement directions of the light spots on his radar display, the commander of the Sakura Fleet who hid behind the small island, his face changed drastically.
"Retreat? Is my plan exposed? It's impossible! The other two fleets are now in the radar detection range of the Europa fleet. How did they discover it?"
The commander of the Sakura Fleet can be said to be puzzled by this situation.
Without the help of high-precision telescopes, the Monarch airship flying at high altitudes cannot be seen clearly with their naked eyes.
The rapid retreat of the Expeditionary Fleet directly made the ambush of the Sakura Fleet fall into nothing. After returning to the original sea area and joining the fishman troops, the idiots who sank all the warships of the Sakura Fleet seemed very satisfied with the results of this battle. They even put on a high-ranking attitude and praised the Expeditionary Fleet for a few words.
In response to this, Tang Han secretly curled his lips disdainfully, and then asked his adjutant Beck Ham to deal with the fishmen. After asking for advice on his own emperor's intention, he directly remembered the next plan.
At the same time, in this sea area, with the end of the battle, the flight altitude of the Monarch airship once again rose above the clouds.
Xia Qi, who had hung up the communication, stretched lazily.
Regarding Tang Han's request, Xia Qi gave the answer to him for his own consideration.
This time he came here to be a personal buf. As for combat matters, he basically gave it to Tang Han. The main purpose was to allow Tang Han to continue to accumulate combat experience.
For long-term considerations, he must quickly cultivate this potential stock to expand Daxia's naval lineup.
After experiencing this battle where he was almost attacked by the Sakura Fleet, Tang Han's decision-making became more cautious in the following actions.
Combined with the powerful combat power provided by the Fishman troops in naval battles, his thoughts almost made him in every battle in the next few battles, and also allowed him to quickly accumulate experience.
As time goes by, Yamamoto's cherry blossom fleet is almost overwhelmed by them.
Tang Han, who saw the opportunity, launched a coastal sweep. The Marine Corps quickly landed. Under the cover of fierce artillery fire, he strongly captured an entire port, allowing the fleet that had been in an expedition for a long time to rest. At the same time, under Xia Qi's long-range command, the Daxia side also directly sent a transport ship to start transporting troops to this sea area.
After all, Xia Qi's purpose was to directly capture Yamamoto's territory.
With this as a premise, once the landing operation is completed and if you want to continue advancing, the army troops between the two sides will inevitably have to engage in war. The current small amount of troops in the expeditionary fleet is obviously not enough, and another batch must be sent over.
Maintaining a specific rhythm, Tang Han led an expeditionary fleet to continue sweeping coastal cities and attacking cherry blossom ports, without choosing to occupy a certain city.
He did this, naturally, with his considerations.
Now they have limited troops in their hands. Once they occupy a certain cherry blossom city, the other side will definitely send a large number of army troops to start a recapture battle.
At that time, if they have limited troops, they will definitely fall into a disadvantage.
Therefore, it is better not to occupy it first, and wait until the rear transport ships arrive at the front line before talking about it.
Of course, during this period, he would definitely not be idle. Crazy suppression of the sea combat power of the Sakura Fleet, sweeping coastal cities, and plundering materials became Tang Han's main task during this period.
Faced with the strong approach of the expeditionary fleet, Yamamoto Qizhuba, whose maritime combat power was severely hit, was helpless and completely fell into a bad situation where he could only be beaten unilaterally.
And the citizens of those coastal cities were even more in panic.
If there is a little condition, they have already taken refuge in the central cities of each island with their families.
The arrival of the military transport ship was several months later. At this time, the entire sea area around Yamamoto's Qizhu-Eight Territory had already changed its owner.
Xia Qi, who received the news in advance, directly signaled Tang Han to capture a port city as a frontline stronghold.
In addition, all shipyards in other ports within Yamamoto's territory were indiscriminately damaged under the offensive of their expeditionary fleet and the fishman troops.
Obviously, this approach is not only suppressing Yamamoto's naval combat power, but also limiting his subsequent naval warship manufacturing.
When those shipyards were destroyed, there were still many half-built battleships inside.
It can be said that in this round, Yamamoto's seven-by-eight losses are not small.
After that, the expeditionary fleet that had steadily occupied a port city, allowing the troops and transport ships that arrived later to land successfully.
As a result, the front-line troops in Daxia were stockpiled up to more than 50,000 at once.
Tang Han continued to lead his expedition fleet to sweep around Yamamoto's territorial waters.
Since the battle has been fought, Yamamoto’s maritime power has been destroyed. It took a lot of means to establish a clear advantage. We must firmly grasp it and no longer give the other party the opportunity to develop.
At this time, the situation in this sea area is so similar to that in this entire battlefield.
The territory of Yamamoto's seven-by-eight archipelago is compared to various continents, while Tang Han's expeditionary fleet and the fishman troops in this sea area are Europa's invincible fleet.
Now that the sea power is almost completely destroyed, Yamamoto Qizhiba can only wait for them to beat them one by one, which is the end of losing control of the territorial waters.
No matter how you look at the situation in this sea area, it is impossible for you to have any problems. In this way, Xia Qi's attention was once again focused on the advancement of the Daxia Army.
Unlike the Navy, the next battle of the army will be commanded by Xia Qi and Jin Ming via radio.
The main force of this expeditionary army is the ace force in Xia Qi's hands and the Imperial City Imperial Guard!
Xia Qi, who occupied a port city, did not rush to signal his army to launch an attack, but directly carried out high-altitude reconnaissance on his monarch airship. He wanted to first see the movements of Yamamoto Qizhuba to confirm his subsequent tactical arrangements.
According to Xia Qi's expectations, before the land war started, Yamamoto Qiezhu, who had suffered frequent defeats in the sea war, should have seized the opportunity to take the initiative this time.
On the one hand, it is naturally because the other party urgently needs a victory to boost morale, so as to save back the heavy blow of frequent defeats in naval battles.
On the other hand, it is because the cities in their territory fell into the hands of the enemy. This kind of thing will affect the people's loyalty to him and even shake his rule. It must be recaptured as soon as possible.
However, what Xia Qi didn't expect was that this time, Yamamoto Qizhiba was unexpectedly calm.
The previous successive failures not only did not make him become impatient, but instead felt more cautious.
Of course, to some extent, it may be that they were beaten and worried that they would be defeated again after this movement.
At that time, the loyalty of the people to him will be reduced even lower.
Instead of that, it is better to respond to changes in the same way.
The port city was lost everywhere and vertically, and its face and prestige were almost lost. How bad would it be if it was miserable in the future?
Based on this psychology, Yamamoto Qizhuan decisively chose to play defensive battles in this wave. At least he had the geographical advantage as a defensive party and had a greater chance of winning.
At that time, just seize the opportunity and return with a counterattack and grab the occupied port city.
It's always better than going out rashly, but it ends up getting worse, which makes the injury worse.
I have to say that this idea is correct.
Because Xia Qi was prepared to use defense instead of attack at the beginning.
At that time, when Yamamoto's Qizhuan's Sakura Army attacks, he will definitely give the opponent a head-on attack without hesitation, hit the opponent until the morale collapses and then take advantage of the victory to pursue it, and then take the entire island in one go.
Now that the other party doesn't call him, it's a bit disrupting Xia Qi's plan.
However, it doesn't matter.
Since you don’t move, I’m not polite!
On the Monarch airship, after reducing the movement speed of the airship to the lowest level, with the opening of the emergency exit, several elves druids on the airship jumped out one after another.
At this moment, they were at a height of ten thousand meters, with thick clouds below, and this height did not make them feel a little scared.
As the body fell, the elf Druid's transformation technique was used one after another. In the blink of an eye, several elves in the sky lost their traces, and replaced by several giant eagles flying out of the clouds.
The area of this island is not small, but it is definitely not very large. The elves druids who escaped from the Monarch airship directly took action.
In this era when there are no skyscrapers in the current architecture, the towering signal towers are just too eye-catching, and it is easy to find them.
Depending on the distance, one after another, the elves druids took their place one after another.
Then, in the early morning half a month later, a black object fell from the sky in the dark night sky.
The next second, I heard a shocking sound. The violent explosion destroyed the signal tower and completely woke countless people from their sleep!
The destruction of the signal tower made the surrounding situation chaotic. This attack came too suddenly and there was no warning. Even at this moment, they didn't know where the enemy came from.
The Sakura Army troops stationed around were dispatched urgently, which made the whole atmosphere tense instantly.
And the same thing happened everywhere on this island.
Chapter completed!
