It is not easy for the Daheng Empire to do this, especially for the navy to defeat their main force and then block their remaining fleet at the port.
But the Kyle Empire Navy can become an existence fleet and stay in its own port and dare not come out. That is because they have never become a global navy and have never experienced the concept of "global presence, global attack".
But the Krul Kingdom Navy is different!
Their navy has always been designed for offense!
Even the Navy of the Daheng Empire has learned this from the Navy of the Kingdom of Krul, and pursues global presence and global attack.
To a certain extent, the strategy of the Krul Kingdom Navy is very similar to that of the Daheng Empire Navy. They both want to win a decisive victory through a decisive battle, and then block the opponent's maritime supply lines and let the war
The balance is tilted towards oneself.
It is precisely because the naval strategic concepts of both sides are so imaginary, and both sides were confident of winning the decisive battle before the naval battle broke out, that ultimately led to this huge naval decisive battle!
In this huge decisive battle, unfortunately, the Krul Kingdom Navy lost.
In the battle to set up the stall, they were almost completely defeated!
In the lightning strike and counter-lightning strike operations at night, the Krul Kingdom Navy once again suffered heavy losses!
Under the attack of the almost endless light formations of the Daheng Empire Navy, the Krull Kingdom Navy was once again defeated by three battleships and one battlecruiser was unfortunately sunk by a torpedo.
This brings the total number of battleships and battlecruisers lost by the Krul Kingdom Navy to twenty-one, which is exactly half of the loss!
The navy of the Kingdom of Krul mobilized exactly forty-two battleships and battlecruisers to participate in the war!
After a day's line battle and a night's lightning strike, half of their battleships had been sunk in direct combat.
Moreover, almost all the remaining battleships were injured, and the combat effectiveness they could exert was equivalent to ten intact battleships.
And they also lost their third commander-in-chief!
At the beginning, the Commander-in-Chief and Admiral of the West Sea Fleet of the Kingdom of Krul Navy, Prince Schumaner, who commanded this huge fleet, was killed not long after the daytime naval battle began because the bridge of his flagship was attacked by a main gun.
Immediately, the commander of the Eighth Task Force, Admiral Duke Joseph, took over the command. However, it was also at noon that the wireless communication equipment of the flagship Angela was damaged. When transferring to other warships, the traffic boat was
Missing after being hit by a shell.
Subsequently, the commander of the Ninth Task Force, Admiral Count Sgra, took over the command.
That night, the ship of Admiral Siglar, commander of the Ninth Task Force, was attacked by a torpedo. This man had a chance to escape, but he did not escape, but chose to sink into the sea with the ship!
How should I put it, this man is actually quite unlucky. Although he is only the third commander, if we want to evaluate, he is estimated to be responsible for more than half of the disastrous defeat of the Krul Kingdom Navy.
Because he had just taken over the command and before he had even figured out the situation of the battle, the Third Mobile Fleet rushed over, and then there were defeats one after another, and the sinking of one capital ship after another. This kind of tragic defeat was not Cruel at all.
The navy of the Kingdom of Er can resist unilaterally.
After ordering the movement and retreat, they were chased and beaten again. At night, they were attacked by large-scale torpedoes, resulting in the loss of troops and generals.
After his ship was sunk in the middle of the night, he had no reason to escape!
If he returns alive, he may become a sinner in Krul's thousand-year history!
The Kingdom of Krul has never suffered such a tragic defeat.
So, he chose death!
After all, he died in battle, and he was able to give an explanation to others and himself!
After the unlucky Admiral Getras sank, the command of the Krull Kingdom's naval fleet was handed over to the commander of Task Force 11, Admiral Count Pitt.
But at this time, Admiral Pitt could no longer change the situation of the war. He had no other option but to lead the fleet to continue to escape.
This chase-and-escape game lasted for two days before it ended.
Because this place is already close to the mainland waters of Kingdom Island, the emergency rescue fleet of the Krull Kingdom Navy is about to arrive.
At the same time, a lot of the warships of the Daheng Empire Navy have been burned out of ammunition, and many have even consumed more than half of their fuel. Although there are high-speed supply ships that can directly replenish at sea, they cannot replenish too much after all.
Moreover, the Daheng Empire Navy itself also had many damaged warships, and its own soldiers also suffered many casualties.
For this reason, the Daheng Empire Navy gave up the final pursuit of the enemy's remaining soldiers and chose to return home.
But at this time, Admiral Pitt did not feel happy about escaping from his life. Instead, he had a look of despair!
Because at this time, he led the remaining fleet and only had seven battleships, two battlecruisers and dozens of cruisers and destroyers left.
others?
All sunk in the cold seabed!
A total of thirty-three battleships and battlecruisers were sunk by the Daheng people or disposed of themselves, sinking in the depths of the cold endless sea!
The losses of other cruisers, destroyers and old battleships were in the hundreds!
He looked at the remaining friendly warships on the surrounding sea from the bridge, closed his eyes slightly, and then turned back to his lounge.
When the Krul Navy's reinforcement fleet arrived and the remaining fleet was finally safe, a dull pistol shot was heard in Admiral Pitt's lounge!
Like General Getras, he chose to commit suicide!
Because they could not afford the defeat of this huge fleet and the sinking of as many as thirty-three capital ships!
Thirty-three battleships or battlecruisers, and the loss of other types of battleships reached more than 200!
The battleship losses were huge, and the personnel losses were even more heavy!
In this battle, only the senior generals of the Krul Kingdom's navy were killed. One marshal, five admirals, 13 vice admirals, 23 major generals, and 36 commodores were missing.
In addition, more than a thousand school officers were killed or missing in action!
Although some of them were salvaged and rescued by the Daheng Empire Navy's search and rescue ships, and then became prisoners of war, naval battles these days were actually very cruel. If the battleship sank very quickly, there would be basically no chance of escape and rescue.
Therefore, not many people could be rescued after the battleship sank.
Interestingly, this naval battle also caused additional damage to the Kingdom of Krul. Strictly speaking, it was not a harm to the Kingdom of Krul, and was even a benefit.
That is, this battle severely damaged their traditional aristocratic system!
