1483 The Battle of Life and Death in Rwanaca (2)
Everywhere the battleships were shot, the whole fleet was in disarray, the scattered queues rolled in the artillery fire, and the thick flames that exploded like fire snakes coiled around the bursting hull of the battleship, making a piercing and sudden crackling burning sound,
In the thick black smoke. Filled with a disgusting scorching stench, scorching flames devoured the body of the battleship unscrupulously, and finally turned into even greater flames, only to turn the battleship into a sea of fire, and the sailors on it jumped down, and the bodies of the sailors floated on the sea
This time, it was the weak flank of the Southwestern Combined Fleet, completely exposed to the ferocious fangs of the Falcon Navy, the battleships were shot everywhere, and the spindle array was completely beaten into an array, although adjustments were made in a hurry, Angus Wiley ordered the fleet to spread out as much as possible, but the strangulation from the north and south still made him completely unable to resist,
The people above bounced up like black dots that had been thrown, jumping into the water in pieces, the bombardment surface continued to expand, advancing towards the flagship in the center, and the battleships along the way were like encountering a great hurricane that destroyed a qiē, covered by a dense explosion, like a ferocious big yellow croaker caught in a cross-square, dying and struggling,
My lord, let's go into the cabin and hide, it's too dangerous here!" The adjutant was full of wolves, ran over from the messy deck in front of him, and asked Angus Wiley, who had witnessed the fleet in a desperate situation, "No, even if it fails, I will see it with my own eyes!" Angus Wiley's face was full of determination,
"Boom" Before his words fell, a violent explosion finally hit the front end of the flagship, and countless fragments smashed on the sails hanging above the mast like sharp blades, and then a rain of fragments fell from above,
If it weren't for the iron railing at the top of the bridge, Angus Wiley would have been hit by debris, most of which were sharp patches. Some sailors who couldn't dodge fell to the ground one after another, wailing all over the ground, although Angus Willie had already looked down on life and death, but he also felt a little lucky, and smiled bitterly, it was so dangerous, if there was no roof, he would probably become the first Imperial Navy Admiral to be killed by a fragment inserted into his head, but his adjutant was not so lucky, and the turmoil caused by the explosion caused the adjutant to fall directly into the sea. There was a miserable long sound in his mouth, and he could no longer find a trace, not swallowed by the sea, but there were too many dead people on the sea, and now it was a cold winter, and if he fell into the cold sea water near the sea, he would freeze to death in less than ten minutes, and some of the sailor's corpses floating on the sea surface even formed white frost "The bow of the ship is on fire!
Whirring flames spread along the battleship's hull. There was a crackling sound in the wind, and the sailors on deck were shaken and rolled around, and the surface of the flagship was covered with iron armor strong enough to withstand the flames. Soon it was scorched and became hot
"Your Excellency. The Duke of Ion is no longer working, please evacuate immediately!"
The first mate ran over to report that Angus Wiley was still standing on the bridge near the ruins, and the Duke of Ion was the name of the flagship. "No, I'm not going anywhere! As a navy, I should have realized that I would have faced this day!" Angus Willie stood on the bridge. Shaking his head, he glanced at the first mate, and then at the fleet that was in the midst of fire and explosions, and the flash of explosion from the flanks stung his retina in an instant,
Another heavy battleship was smashed through the side deck and exploded violently, the energy scattered by the explosion broke through the surrounding sea, and countless fragments were directly smashed and splashed, directly hitting many sailors running on the deck, densely falling a large piece, the flames broke through the deck, and many people were swept in, and they jumped into the sea with fire and pain all over their bodies.
Angus Willy couldn't bear to turn his head, and ordered coldly, "Order all ships to find opportunities to evacuate, in this battle, our army has been defeated! There is no point in insisting! If the other party accepts surrender, surrender! As for me, just coexist with this Duke of Ion, which is full of imperial glory!" "My lord!" the first mate shouted heartbreakingly, his cry full of despair and anxiety,...... "The hunter has become the prey, this is a trap designed for me by the other party, there is no doubt about it!" Looking at the Southwest Combined Fleet, which was completely shrouded in artillery fire in the distance, Algernon Katya, the commander-in-chief of the Southwest, who was taken away from the flagship halfway, stood arrogantly in the stern of the battleship, his fists clenched, and his face was filled with a kind of chagrin
"The enemyity of the navy, I Kardenokadya will be avenged!" Algernonkatya's eyes were cold, looking into the distance and whispering to himself, the battleship was heading in the opposite direction of the battlefield, and found that the situation was not right, Algernonkatya ordered the battleship to leave the battle in the name of the Southwest Commander-in-Chief, because the battleship was located in the rear of the ship group, and almost encountered any obstacles, and quickly left the battlefield,
The farther and farther he went, but the occasional explosion and dazzling fire in the distance were still flickering in Algernonkatya's pupils, and the whole area was like a death hell.
The Southwest Combined Fleet is finished, and the combat power of the Falcon Navy shocked him, the size and combat power of this fleet should definitely not be just a local fleet, this is a powerful force that is not inferior to the Congo Navy, with the strength of the Southwest Combined Fleet, it has fallen into such a fate in such a short period of time, I am afraid that it is difficult for the main fleet of the Gang Philippines to do it!
"Wrong judgment and wrong intelligence led to today's complete defeat!" "Now I don't know that there is a problem with the intelligence, then I am really a fool, and what makes him feel most annoyed is his own judgment error, which is the main reason for the destruction of the combined fleet.
If it weren't for that miscalculated intelligence, if it was known that the other side had gathered such a large number of troops, if it was possible to check the authenticity of the information in advance, if it ...... Too many ifs
Although the remnants of the Southwest Combined Fleet are still struggling, even a layman like himself can see that it is difficult to reverse the trend of the Combined Fleet trying to escape from being pursued and destroyed.
The sea strategy is no longer possible, it is still a land battle, Algernon Katya cleaned up his mood, as a general who defended one side, he naturally has his own reliance, naval warfare is what he is good at, defeat is defeat, at most it is less help on the sea, the real main battlefield is in Rwanacre, he has set a mortal trap with an army of 100,000, as long as the other party steps in, he is sure to completely drag the Falcon Army down, drag to death!
