Chapter 334 Comprehensive Advancement
Lu Tianhao sat in the command center, frowning slightly, staring deeply at the battle map in front of him, and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he raised his head and slowly said, "Do you think this proposal of launching a quick counterattack against the enemy is feasible?
Before that, I would like to take a look at the current situation of our fleet.
Everyone, please tell me first, have the warships that were damaged in the battle been repaired now? "
As soon as he finished speaking, a naval general quickly stood up, saluted Lu Tianhao with a standard military salute, and answered loudly.
"Reporting to the commander! After our maintenance personnel's hard work day and night, most of the damaged warships have been basically repaired and can be put into battle at any time.
However... ten of the carriers have suffered serious damage to their decks and have not yet been fully repaired, so they are temporarily unable to carry out combat missions."
Hearing this, Lu Tianhao nodded slightly to show his understanding, and then asked, "Then may I ask, where are these ten carriers that have not yet been repaired?"
At this time, Du Xiaowei on the side hurriedly stepped forward and responded.
"Marshal, these ten aircraft carriers are currently docked in a harbor west of Ming Island and are under strict protection and repair."
Lu Tianhao nodded slightly and spoke calmly.
“Since the ten carriers have not yet been repaired, let the maintenance personnel continue the repair work in an orderly and leisurely manner.
But don't worry, I will first add ten aircraft carriers to our navy to ensure that the complete establishment of sixty aircraft carriers remains unchanged.
I will also replace all the damaged warships and carrier-based aircraft in this battle.
There is no time to lose, let's start the action immediately! Once everything is ready, it will be time for us to launch a desperate counterattack against the enemy's combined fleet!"
At this point, a fierce look flashed in Lu Tianhao's eyes.
He went on to emphasize, "This time the counterattack is not as simple as just sending out our carrier-based aircraft.
After the carrier-based aircraft take off and attack, our powerful naval fleet must also assemble quickly.
Rush straight to the sea where the enemy fleet is at the fastest speed. This time we are going to launch a full-scale counterattack."
Before he finished speaking, Lu Tianhao stood up suddenly, looking resolute and decisive.
It seemed as if he could not wait to lead all the naval generals to the front line and personally command this crucial battle.
At this moment, an army general looked anxious and asked hurriedly.
"Marshal, should our landing troops immediately launch an offensive against the enemy on Ming Island?"
Lu Tianhao frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
"If we adopt a strong offensive strategy, it will inevitably lead to considerable casualties, which is undoubtedly a situation we are extremely reluctant to witness.
Therefore, it is necessary to temporarily delay the current offensive operations of the troops.
Do you remember that I deliberately left behind hundreds of planes?
You can arrange people to fly these fighters to launch continuous harassment attacks and fierce bombing operations against the enemy.
However, it is important to note that when bombing, we must be careful to avoid areas that may endanger the lives and property of civilians. "
Hearing this, all the generals of the army nodded in agreement and responded in unison. Then they each received orders and returned to their respective units to deploy relevant matters.
Lu Tianhao arrived at the airport first without stopping. He left behind a large amount of fuel, as well as various bombs and ammunition needed for the plane.
After everything was ready, he took Wang Hui and many naval generals and hurriedly rushed towards the direction of the naval fleet.
Lu Tianhao anxiously began to work intensively to replenish the warships that had suffered severe damage.
The more than 2000 carrier-based aircraft that were originally lost were also replenished.
Not only that, he also added a full ten majestic and huge aircraft carriers to the naval fleet, further enhancing the combat effectiveness of the entire fleet.
However, it is heartbreaking that this fierce battle resulted in the casualties of more than 10,000 brave and fearless naval soldiers.
More than 500 skilled pilots shed their blood in the sky.
Lu Tianhao felt helpless about the issue of personnel replenishment.
After all, the naval fleet is not at its own naval base at the moment and cannot obtain sufficient manpower support in time.
In desperation, the naval fleet had to make a difficult decision - to significantly reduce the personnel ratio on each warship.
Although doing so may increase the burden on the crew, it is currently the only way to ensure that every warship in the naval fleet can quickly restore its mobility.
The location of the joint fleet of the bandits and the multinational coalition had already been successfully obtained by the intelligence personnel of the National Salvation Army, and their accurate location information was sent back.
Lu Tianhao was cheered up after hearing the news, and all the losses of the naval fleet were fully replenished.
He gave the order without hesitation, and the National Salvation Army's naval fleet rushed towards the enemy fleet at full speed like an arrow from a bow.
For a moment, the sea was rough and the waves splashed.
I saw the carrier-based aircraft on the 60 aircraft carriers roaring into the sky one after another.
Like soaring eagles, they will take the lead in launching a fierce counterattack against the enemy's combined fleet with a rage for revenge.
Lu Tianhao came to the side of a carrier-based aircraft and was about to fly the plane to join the battle himself, but was stopped by Wang Hui.
"Marshal! You are the commander of an army. How can you be so careless as to personally go into battle and kill the enemy?"
Wang Hui's face was filled with anxiety, and his voice unconsciously rose a few degrees.
Lu Tianhao just chuckled, with a confident look on his face, "Chief of Staff, don't you know my abilities?
With my skills and abilities, there would be no danger even if I personally participated in the battle.
Moreover, if I join the battle, the chances of successfully counterattacking the enemy fleet will be greatly increased?
At the same time, it can also minimize the casualties of our soldiers.
So, I did this entirely out of consideration for the overall situation! "
Having said that, Lu Tianhao paused for a moment, looked at Wang Hui with sharp eyes, and continued.
"Besides, as a commander, if I can't lead the charge, how can I boost morale and make the soldiers willingly follow me and fight to the death?"
Wang Hui was speechless for a moment after listening to Lu Tianhao's passionate speech.
But he knew in his heart that the battlefield was changing rapidly and the situation was extremely dangerous. Even the most powerful people would inevitably encounter accidents.
However, facing this resolute and ambitious commander, he really didn't know what words to use to dissuade him.
