Southern Squadron, command center.
Whoosh.
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan took a deep puff and put out the cigarette. He looked up at the clock on the wall. It had been several hours, but there was still no news.
He didn't know if his confidence was blocked or if the communication equipment on the ship had been destroyed.
"Commander, don't worry too much. Yang Dingtian is one of the most outstanding young captains. Even if he can't win, he won't be completely wiped out.”the major general whispered.
They never thought they could win.
The four warships of the Annan Empire were too powerful. They were completely on the level of suppression. They thought that Yang Dingtian and the others could hold those guys back and wait for the reinforcements to arrive.
Nodding, Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan said," That's true. Yang Dingtian has always been calm and collected. He's not a reckless person. He should be able to stall him."”
Swoosh.
At this moment, the messenger suddenly stood up. His face was full of shock, and his voice was trembling." Report."。。Report, 681 ships have reported that they have sunk Annan Empire's 4th, 5th, and 10th ships, and captured 16th ship.”
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan: "???"
The other generals and officers were speechless.？？”
Damn it, they must have heard wrongly.
It wasn't strange to stall those ingrates.
They could accept it if they beat those guys away. After all, the strength of the warship was also closely related to the quality and ability of the crew. If those ingrates could not be defeated for a long time, it was possible for them to retreat.
However, it was too much to sink three ships and capture one. Four ships were not even as big as one.
What was the most important thing?
It was almost impossible to sink a large warship with a small-caliber cannon. Many water-tight cabins and perfect damage control were not just for show. So, how did they sink three warships?
Swoosh.
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up immediately." Are you sure?”
Those ingrates from the Annan Empire had just repelled the foreign devils. They had extremely rich combat experience and were not pure trash. In just a few hours, they had been completely wiped out. It was too unbelievable.
"Commander, this is the message from Boat 681. It has been verified.”the messenger replied. He was sure that was the case.
Hiss.
Instantly, all the generals and high-ranking military officers present couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air. Their eyes and faces were immediately filled with shock.
It wasn't that they weren't calm enough, but it was too unexpected. They had never thought of this outcome.
Even Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan found it hard to control his emotions. He remembered that he had told Yang Dingtian to stall those ingrates as much as possible. However, they were all killed.
A few seconds later, he calmed down and ordered," Inform them to retreat after the battle to prevent the Annan Empire's reinforcements from attacking.”
"Yes."
"Inform the shore-based fighter jets to speed up. Those guys might send out their fighter jets for revenge.”
Even though the combat aircraft would not last long, it would at least make the Annan Empire's air force wary.
"Yes."
After the arrangements were made, Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan said again," Ask clearly what happened.”
"Yes."
The communicator responded and quickly contacted Boat 681.
Two minutes later.
The messenger spoke again, but he was already shocked to the extreme.
"Boat 681 reported that under Captain Yang's command, they closed the distance and weaved through the gunfire. Entering the enemy's formation, causing the enemy's flagship to fire and accidentally injure the enemy's No. 16 ship.”
"After that, the 681 ship rushed to a distance of tens of meters from the enemy flagship and fired a depth bomb, destroying the enemy flagship.”
"But not long after, the enemy's No. 16 returned to the battlefield after repairs and ambushed ships 385 and 387 from the side.”
" At this time, the 681 ship chose to charge forward, which was almost certain to die. After receiving continuous artillery fire, it successfully collided with the enemy ship 16. Then, it used submachine guns, machine guns, grenades, and rocket launchers to attack, causing heavy casualties to the enemy.”
"After the enemy's No. 16 ship surrendered, our ships 682, 385, and 387 were relieved of their crisis. We concentrated our firepower on the enemy's No. 4 and No. 10 ships and sank them with rocket bombs.”
Swoosh.
At this moment, the generals and high-ranking officers present could not help but turn to look at Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan. Was this the so-called calmness?
If this was called being calm and collected, then there was probably no normal person in this world. This was simply crazier than a madman, okay? How many people could do such a thing?
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan was speechless.
Yang Dingtian was one of the young officers that the Southern Fleet had focused on nurturing. He had carefully understood that he was indeed very calm and collected.
"I think that kid should be called Crazy Yang from now on.”
"Yes, it's indeed too crazy."
"Those ingrates are probably scared silly. In this era, they're actually still being engaged in a boarding battle.”
"Definitely."
The few generals spoke up, and the stone that was hanging in their hearts was finally lifted.
"This isn't pure madness. He wouldn't have chosen to do this if he wasn't certain.”
Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan said in a deep voice," If we rush over recklessly, we'll probably sink before we even get close. Those ingrates from Annan can chase away the foreign devils, but they're not all trash. The automatic cannons of the foreign devils are not just for show.”
That was true.
Everyone nodded.
As for the details, they would have to wait for Yang Dingtian and the others to come back and review the entire battle. Then, everything would be clear.
But no matter what, they all knew that Yang Dingtian, that lunatic, had become a god in one battle. Not to mention the Southern Squadron, he would probably have a name in the Fire Country's Military Headquarters.
He had no choice.
This battle record was really too dazzling.
The four small warships added together were not even as big as one of the Annan Empire's warships. Their firepower was not as good either, but they had directly sunk three of them and even captured one.
What was this called?
Let's call the heifer a rocket, awesome. He was forcing the heavens.
They all believed that as long as Yang Dingtian did not make any mistakes in principle, his future military career would be smooth sailing.
"Immediately report to the military headquarters that the southern fleet's 681 formation has been completely annihilated. The invading Annan Empire fleet will now begin to send troops to recapture Golden Spring Island and other invaded areas. The battle plan to occupy the island." Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan spoke again.
"Yes."
"Also, ask Madman Yang if he can still fight. If he can, let him take the warships that can fight to Golden Spring Island to provide support.”Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan added.
"Yes."
Upon hearing this, everyone present knew that Yang Dingtian's reputation as a lunatic would never be shaken off.
As for whether he could still participate in the island seizing operation, it would depend on the specific situation on Yang Dingtian's side. After experiencing a big battle, the losses must not be small.
On the other side.
As Lieutenant General Fang Zhennan and the others had expected, although the naval battle had ended, the problems that Yang Dingtian and the others had encountered were still not small. He was also dealing with them.
