Chapter 102 The Battle of Ingus Island Begins
Chen Yu was holding a black cover letter in his hand, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of suspicion in his heart. He sat in a daze on the chair. It lasted for about five or six minutes. Chen Yu picked up the phone on the table and said, "Send a telegram to Grand Duke Gao Haisheng, and he said he can take action."
In just twenty-three days, all the islands near Yaochi in the Principality of Jacques were lost, and the remaining fleet also retreated to the capital, and they were ready to defend Kran Island to the death.
At the same time, the Grand Duke Gumit of the West also took action. Of course, he did not help Chen Yu, but to take advantage of the situation and quickly occupied several islands close to the Duchy of Gumit...
In less than a month, the Principality of Jacques was beaten to no counterattack and could only defend Kran Island, and did not dare to step out of the island. The sea lion on the other side and the Principal of Pando completely united, gathering all its troops on Ingus Island, which is only 180 nautical miles away from Baishan Island, preparing to fight to the death with Yaochi.
Heidao was also very anxious. On the one hand, he sent a large amount of supplies and ammunition to the Panduohaishi coalition, while observing Ling Xiaotian, wondering why he still attacked Yaochi.
Ling Xiaotian was furious when he learned about his father and brother. However, after he was angry, he had to consider whether it was feasible to attack Yaochi. He was not stupid. After intelligence, he learned that the Gao family's Principality had already gathered a large number of troops on the borders of the two countries. If he dared to attack Yaochi, the Gao family's Principality would definitely take advantage of the situation, and the consequences would be even more unbearable.
After many considerations, Ling Xiaotian decided to wait and see for the time being, but Pandu and Haishi could not wait. Their power was very panicked. The war was about to break out. At that time, either you die or I die...
Chen Yu did not rush to order an attack. Three of the five Yaochi fleets were pulled to Baishan Island. The other two needed to continue attacking the Principality of Yak, and the other one was guarding against Ling Xiaotian. Although the Principality of Gao had promised to drag Ling Xiaotian's fleet, if Ling Xiaotian ignored the rear and attacked Yaochi, it would be troublesome.
From the perspective of military strength, Chen Yu is not very advantageous. There are only seven warships on Chen Yu's side, but there are many warships, more than 300. Nearly one hundred of them were manufactured by the Haisha Island Warship Manufacturing Factory in the past three years. There are also many small torpedo speedboats, with a total of fifty-eight.
After investigation by Duke's intelligence department, Chen Yu learned that the Pan Duohai-Shi coalition had ten frigates alone, more than 500 warships, and hundreds of torpedo speedboats.
Chen Yu knew very well that close to the economic strength of these two countries, he could not support such a powerful fleet at all. Without thinking, it must be the one who made the Black Island a fool.
For Chen Yu, Black Island is becoming more and more mysterious. He has even begun to speculate that there may be a huge country outside the Roland Sea, which is the backend of Black Island. That country produced a large amount of materials, even weapons and ammunition, for profit, and then sold them to the Roland Sea.
A powerful Ling family principality has already made Heidao very unhappy. Now another Yaochi has come out. They will definitely not let Yaochi unify the southern waters. At that time, economic development will be carried out, and no one will fight, who will buy arms.
Chen Yu himself has arrived at Baishan Island. He has to personally command this war. On the one hand, in order to stimulate the morale of the people, on the other hand, he feels that although Yang Shan and others have good command capabilities, their ability to adapt to changes is still insufficient, so he is still a little worried.
After all, this war is very important to Yao Chi, different from before. If it fails before, you can retreat. But now most of the troops in Yao Chi are concentrated here. If it loses the entire Yao Chi, it will probably be over.
Although the strength of the two armies is somewhat different, the morale of Yaochi is very strong, and everyone is very confident. After all, they have won so many games in a row. However, the two countries of Pan Duohai and Shi have no morale at all. After continuous defeats, no one can boost morale in a short time.
...
"I have remembered the combat plan, right?" Chen Yu said while scanning everyone.
In this battle, except for Ma Kui and Yan Hu, everyone else came. Ma Kui was going to attack Kelan Island, and Yan Hu led his fleet to guard against the Duchy of Ling, so the two did not come.
After three years, Philip was still the same, his shiny bald head kept shaking, as if he didn't take this matter seriously at all. Yang Shan was like a different person, his temperament was less impetuous and more pragmatic.
Seeing that everyone nodded, Chen Yu said again: "The founding leader of China hundreds of years ago once said that we should despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically. As long as we remember this sentence, we will have no battle that we cannot win!"
Everyone's morale was immediately raised by Chen Yu's words. After so many battles, they were very confident. However, Chen Yu was worried that this was the case, so he said things that should be taken seriously in tactical terms.
After a week of tentative attacks, both sides were injured. Just when they were confronting each other for half a month, the coalition forces on Ingus Island received a shocking news that the road to transport supplies from Black Island to Ingus Island was cut off.
In the early morning of July 1, 304, nine hours after the logistics transportation route of the Ingus Island coalition forces were cut off, the Yaochi fleet launched an attack on the Ingus Island enemy for the first time under the command of Commander-in-Chief Chen Yu.
This attack is divided into three routes: upper, middle and lower. The middle route is the first fleet under Yangshan and the most powerful fleet among the five major fleets of Yaochi. Their mission is to attract the firepower of the enemy fleet and buy time for the other two fleets.
The upper-road fleet is the third fleet led by the one-legged commander Tony. Their fleet is equipped with long-range artillery. The mission is to go around the back of Ingus Island, bombard the enemy troops on Ingus Island, and try to destroy all the arsenals and other things above.
The bottom lane fleet is the Fifth Fleet led by Philip, and it is also the most mobile in the Yaochi Fleet, because the engines of the Fleet are both warships and warships. The disadvantage is that they even gave up some defenses for speed and replaced the originally thick armor with relatively lighter leather steel.
Philip's goal was to bypass Ingus Island and head to Longdong Island behind it. Chen Yu once suspected that the logistics base of the Ingus Island coalition forces was there, because he thought that if it were him, he would definitely put the logistics base there.
"The test is over! Retreat five nautical miles!" Chen Yu directed while looking at the orientation map given by the radar soldiers.
Yang Shan immediately picked up the phone and said, "The whole person retreated five nautical miles! Avoid the enemy's artillery fire!"
Both Chen Yu and Yang Shan knew very well that the task of the First Fleet was to hold the enemy down, rather than face it directly. If you forcefully fight, the First Fleet would have to rely on these warships and more than a hundred warships, which was not enough for others to eat.
