In the Bahamas, fierce fighting continues.
The 1st, 4th and 7th Divisions of the Russian Imperial Marine Corps, supported by the powerful firepower of the naval fleet, launched a fierce attack on the defense line of the 5th Division of the Lighthouse Marine Corps.
The Russian Imperial Navy’s carrier-based aircraft destroyed the fleets of the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aircraft units in the Bahamas and has gained air superiority. This allows the Russian Imperial Navy to launch carrier-based aircraft to provide air support for the Marines.
This also puts the Lighthouse Marine Corps in a more disadvantageous position.
Their defense line is constantly broken by the Russian Imperial Marine Corps, and a large number of troops are surrounded or annihilated.
At this rate, perhaps before sunset, the Russian Imperial Marine Corps will be able to win on Eleuthera Island, New Providence Island and Grand Bahama Island.
Next, the Russian Empire’s Marine Corps will split up and attack other islands in the Bahamas.
It won’t take long for the entire Bahamas to fall under the control of the Russian Empire.
At the same time, the Russian Empire’s Navy aircraft carrier formation 03 is also heading towards the Bahamas.
Although the Russian Empire’s operations in the Bahamas went smoothly. But it is foreseeable that the Lighthouse Country will never give up. They will definitely find ways to reinforce the Bahamas. At worst, they will send a large number of aircraft to attack the Russian Empire’s Marine Corps and fleet.
The mission of the Russian Empire’s Navy aircraft carrier formation is to provide air defense protection for the Marine Corps and fleet. Even through air combat, the air force of the Lighthouse Country will be strangled, further weakening the air combat power of the Lighthouse Country and preparing for the next landing on the Lighthouse Country’s homeland.
However, as expected by the Russian Empire, the Lighthouse Country’s counterattack soon began.
That afternoon, the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based aircraft units took off a large number of fighter planes from the airports located on the Florida Peninsula and the southeast of the Lighthouse, attacking the Russian Empire Marine Corps and the Russian Empire Navy Fleet that landed in the Bahamas.
This time, the Lighthouse Army Air Force and the Navy’s shore-based forces also spent a lot of money.
The Lighthouse Army Air Force dispatched 600 P-41 fighters, covering 300 B-25 medium bombers and 200 B-17 heavy bombers, ready to be put into the bombing of the Bahamas. They not only want to bomb the Russian Empire Marine Corps. At the same time, they also want to destroy the airports on the island to prevent these airports from falling into the hands of the Russian Empire. Even if the Russian Empire is found to have built an airport on the island, it will also become their bombing target. In a word, it is to prevent the Russian Empire from gaining a foothold in the Bahamas, and to prevent the Russian Empire from using the Bahamas to attack the Lighthouse mainland.
The Lighthouse Country Navy’s shore-based aircraft unit launched 300 F4G fighters to cover more than 200 SBD2 dive bombers and TBD torpedo attack aircraft launched an attack on the exposed battleship division of the Russian Empire Navy.
Although battleships are no longer the main force of the navy. However, the Russian Empire Navy’s many battleships undoubtedly still pose a huge threat to the Lighthouse Country. If these battleships can be severely damaged or even sunk, it will be a major victory for the Lighthouse Navy.
In addition, the Lighthouse Navy Fleet also received orders and began to move south. As for when to engage in battle, it depends on the specific situation. If possible, the Lighthouse Navy naturally hopes to severely damage the Russian Empire Navy in one fell swoop. If the main force of the Russian Empire Navy can be destroyed in one fell swoop, it would be even better.
The huge fleet took off from the airports on the Florida Peninsula and the southeast coast of the Lighthouse Country.
The densely packed planes covered the sky and almost blocked the sunlight in the sky, leaving a huge shadow on the ground.
However, when these planes just flew out of the homeland of the Lighthouse Country and entered the sea, the air search radar of the Russian Empire Navy had already discovered them.
Several battleship squadrons of the Russian Empire Navy reported the news to the aircraft carrier formation as soon as possible. At the same time, several battleship squadrons also began to retreat and evade.
If you can escape and avoid being hit by the aircraft of the Lighthouse Country, that would naturally be the best.
Even if you can’t escape, you must try your best to gain more room for maneuver!
On a wider sea, air defense operations will be smoother.
The Russian Empire Navy aircraft carrier formation responded immediately. Every aircraft carrier began to take off carrier-based fighters.
According to the order, all aircraft carriers took off half of their carrier-based fighters. The remaining carrier-based fighters were also ready to take off at any time to fight.
At once, the 33 aircraft carriers of the Russian Empire Navy began to frantically launch carrier-based fighters.
More than 1,500 MiG-41 fighters soon took off from the aircraft carriers of the Russian Empire Navy.
The huge fleet of carrier-based fighters, under the guidance of the air search radar, headed straight for the fleet of the Lighthouse Country.
The Lighthouse Country Army Air Force and Navy wanted to severely damage the Russian Empire 930 Marine Corps and even the battleship division of the Russian Empire Navy. However, when they faced such a large fleet of carrier-based aircraft of the Russian Empire Navy, they would probably be frightened. (To read the violent novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
On the flagship battleship Peter II of the Russian Empire Navy, the fleet commander Marshal Isakov and the chief of staff Lieutenant General Kasatolov both had serious expressions.
They all knew that it would be very important to face the counterattack of the Lighthouse Country next.
The Russian Empire wanted to win this battle, gain a foothold in the Bahamas, and gain an advantage in the next battle.We must resist the counterattack of the Lighthouse people.
Otherwise, if we can’t resist it. Then, the entire battle plan of the Russian Empire may be in vain.
Even if the Russian Empire wants to implement such a plan again, it will be very difficult.
The Lighthouse Country has been prepared, and naturally will not let the Russian Empire succeed easily again.
Therefore, it can be seen how important the next battle is.
Even if the Russian Empire Navy has gone all out this time, it still dare not relax at all.
Of course, if nothing unexpected happens, the Russian Empire Navy will not have much problem resisting the counterattack of the Lighthouse people. .
