Chapter 274: The worse world is hopeless

As for the stubborn problem of poor rocket accuracy, it is not a fatal flaw in land and naval warfare, and if you dare to take off with such an unreliable weapon in an air combat situation where both the offensive and defensive sides are in a state of high-speed maneuvering, you can only be classified as a little expert in death.

The Wake Reef Arsenal added a balance wing and tail to the air-to-air rocket, following Luo Zhengdao's incomplete aerodynamic theory from an old-world copycat, increasing accuracy from almost zero to a barely acceptable magnitude of poor albeit low, at the cost of soaring production costs and an increase in the size of the projectile. The size of the improved rocket has increased greatly, and it cannot be stuffed into the old rocket launch nest at all, not to mention that with the current technical level, it is impossible to create a rocket with foldable balance wing and tail, and this new rocket can only be suspended on the external attachment point of the fighter wing. In addition to the standard armament, the Pirate Fighter is close to the load limit of four rockets per sortie, so it is necessary to launch the rockets before starting the dogfight to avoid affecting the maneuverability of the fighter.

"All ready, all salvo! Three, two, one, launch! โ€

"Woo woo ......"

At the command of the wing commander, the pirate fighters flying over the Goblin Navy lined up in a neat line and dived and strafed the sea below, rockets are not suitable for precision strikes, but the more weapons with poor accuracy, the more they can compensate for the congenital defects. At this moment, hundreds of pirate fighters launched air-to-air rockets at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, the sky immersed in the golden morning sun was obscured by countless staggered gray-white trails, and the whistling rocket clusters rushed into the goblin air cavalry ranks below, bursting into fire balls one after another.

"Spread out! Spread it all out! โ€

Before today, the Goblin Air Cavalry had also seen pirate fighters launch air-to-air rockets, and don't forget that this was an isolated phenomenon, and how to deal with the threat of this new weapon, the Air Cavalry lacked sufficient vigilance and coping skills.

Due to the low trust of human pilots in their new weapons, in addition to those test pilots who undertake test missions, most pilots tend to use outdated light rotary guns in battles with goblin air cavalry, so the power of air-to-air rockets is underestimated by opponents. This is a normal phenomenon, I have not seen the whole process of the development of new things from quantitative change to qualitative change, only with a few small clues can accurately judge the future development trend of imagination, this kind of genius head melon can be called against the sky, a hundred years can not grow a half, goblin air cavalry do not have to be embarrassed by short-sightedness.

The so-called demon who can grow by eating a trench and growing wise, and can grow on his own without suffering any losses, is after all the patent of a very small number of geniuses, and mortals don't have to ask for luxury.

The two air forces only had to fight each other, and the goblin air cavalry was hit by more than a fifth of the flying rockets, and the unlucky ones who were injured and hung up were not included, and when they looked up at this scene on the new flagship, Modo Blackwater's entire face began to turn purple.

I vaguely felt that today's day was unlucky, but I was afraid that it would be more auspicious and less auspicious, and the big goblin commander didn't dare to expect too much, so he turned his head and said to the adjutant:

"Order all the fire attack ships to attack, and those who dare to disobey will be executed on the spot."

"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander."

Seeing that there is a big pit in front of him, animals with an IQ higher than 5 will not jump down, not to mention that the moral behavior of human pseudo-soldiers is despised by others, and the average intelligence level can still be classified as a normal person.

"Greenskin is going to send us to death, everyone run!"

How could Najaf, an evil warlock who has never been profitable, have a mind that is not self-interested and specializes in benefiting others, and his efforts in the puppet army are not shallow, not to mention that the penetration is like a sieve, and the actual situation is not much better. At this time, as Modo Blackwater's order spread, the dark lines that Najaf had laid in ambush in advance in the puppet army began to cooperate with each other, and these fire attack ships that were supposed to rush to the heavily fortified Funayama Islands to send them to death, only a few people who were completely unaware fell into a state of confusion, and the rest either turned around and fled towards the two flanks of the battlefield, or they threw away the flammable materials while running.

Seeing this scene, the furious Modo Heishui was about to order the interception of these unknown things, but at this time, Luo Zhengdao sensed that the time was ripe for an attack and signaled the naval fleet to attack.

Several colorful signal flares leisurely jumped into the sky, and the first detachment of the human navy led by six original fast ironclads and the second detachment composed of six goblin ironclads that had been salvaged and repaired not long ago came out of the harbor one after another, followed by an artillery formation composed of more than forty old battleships. Since the beginning of the war, the detachment of mine-striking ships, which had been cruising outside the harbor in search of fighters, continued to keep an eye on every move of the goblin fleet, and when they found that the enemy was exposed, they pounced on it and launched a deadly wave of lightning strikes.

The torpedo dragging a long white trail rushed on the surface of the sea like a school of fish, and it was impossible to forget that kind of spectacular scene once in a lifetime, and Modo Blackwater did not want to learn from his opponent and what new tricks he could play, and he also did not want to recall the scene of the thunderstorm ship raging, so he spoke:

"Stand back and prepare for shelling!"

The emergence of the new ironclad ship means that its strong defense dwarfs the wooden sail battleships that dominated the seven seas in the past, except for the gold-swallowing beasts that are smashed out with a lot of gold coins like the Yaling I and World War II battleships, which can bombard the ironclad ships with good eyeballs, and the idiotic idea that low-level wooden battleships and ironclad ships bombard each other with cannonballs, which basically belongs to the old birthday star who eats arsenic and is tired and crooked. A stone bullet from your side is immediately bounced off by the opponent's armor plate, and when you turn around, you will be killed or wounded, and this battle will not be fought at all. It's as difficult as having a swordsman in a cloth suit and a knight wrapped in a full-body plate armor one-on-one, and looking horizontally and vertically is always suspicious of bullying, and it is no longer possible to play happily together.

Despite repeated defeats, Modo Blackwater is also a veteran navy, and it has a clear understanding of how to fight against ironclads.

The idea of the big goblin commander is to destroy the human battleship detachment at any cost, no matter how strong the combat power of those ironclad ships is, due to the double constraints of expensive construction and the supply of metal materials, the number of equipment has never been able to rise, and the lack of quantity means that it is unable to undertake daily cruising tasks such as protecting their own transportation lines. There is no doubt that as long as the battleship detachment can be wiped out, or severely damaged, the supply route between Wake Reef and the Funayama Islands can be cut off immediately. At that time, this newly seized enclave island will not only fail to become a springboard for Will Needham's counterattack on the main continent, but will greatly restrain his energy and become a heavy burden that cannot be shaken off.

The shape of the battlefield was not good for the goblins, but it was not to the point where it was impossible to fight, and the pirate fighters still failed to completely disperse the goblin air cavalry, and bombers with bombs could not attack until they seized air supremacy. Those clumsy flying machines like flying targets are not much stronger than the mud pigeons on the training ground in front of the goblin air cavalry, and it is better to do less to send them to death in vain, it is too hurtful to the character!

Without air support for the time being, the human pirates can only compete with the Goblin Fleet in a classic battleline artillery duel, and the first to fire on both sides is the light warship. Under the cover of the fire of their own cruisers and light cruisers, the human detachment of mine-striking ships attempted to assault in units of five, repeatedly trying to rush within the range of torpedoes. The light warships attached to the goblin fleet did not hesitate to intercept these small but lethal special warships to prevent them from threatening the safety of their own capital ships.

Seeing that the human puppet army driving the fire attack ship gradually ran farther and farther, Vina Dubov was still a little angry, she was unwilling to be used by Najaf, and said angrily:

"It's cheap again this time Najaf bastard."

Seeing this, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but shake his head and said:

"Vina, if this happens, the goblins will definitely turn against him, and there won't be many opportunities for Najaf to bother us in the future, which is also good news!"

The relationship between the evil sorcerer Najaf Needham, who is accustomed to wandering the gray area, and the goblin Second Empire wolf Bรจi, has almost come to an end after he instigated the puppet army to flee. Even if the biggest real threat to goblins is Will Needham's Regent, that doesn't mean they will tolerate Najaf's unbridled digging into their corners, and this kind of silent infiltration is even more terrifying. You must know that there are tens of thousands of human puppet armies who have been specially sent to be cannon fodder this time, and the number of puppet armies with various names in the entire main continent has increased to nearly one million.

Assuming that Najaf's influence has been secretly extended to those puppet army units, the potential threat he poses to the goblins is no less than that of Luo Zhengdao, the regent.

Historically, elbow and armpit changes have been the most difficult to guard against, and it is impossible for goblins not to understand it, so it is impossible for Najaf to continue to fight left and right as he did in the past. Because of this, no matter how reluctant he may be, he is forced to side with the camp of human exiles, which is the inevitable result of no other choice.

Luo Zhengdao anxiously scanned the battlefield situation in the command tower, and finally couldn't help but get closer to the spar communicator and said:

"Pick me up Brando...... Yes, end the battle as soon as possible. โ€

"Roger! Please rest assured, Your Highness, that we will definitely drive the green skins out of the waters of the Funayama Islands. โ€

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao shook his head and sighed, and said:

"No, the point is to annihilate their living forces, today we take out a sailor, tomorrow the goblins will have one less captain. Brando, do you understand? โ€

"Yes, follow your instructions."

After leaving the hedron communicator in his flagship Commander Tower, Commander Brando Crimson straightened his face and said in a deep voice:

"Ladies and gentlemen, you have heard that Your Highness is urging us. This battle must be fought beautifully, we are now a navy, and we must not disgrace the glory of the imperial navy. โ€

"For the sake of humanity, revive the empire!"

The slogan rang out, Brando Scarlet nodded, he turned to stare at the silhouette of the goblin fleet that looked like small black dots on the sea in front of him, drew his command knife and said loudly:

"I order, start attacking!"

The pirate fighters that had just begun to take off had already returned to the field in rotation because they had run out of rocket fuel and ammunition, and the group of fighters that were once again carrying rockets to attack were far less than their own as soon as they appeared, and the goblin air cavalry who were dragged exhausted were blown up. Although the casualties caused by this round of strikes were not large, the morale of the air cavalry, who had never been able to get a moment of respite, was hit hard, they could no longer support it, and they retreated backwards to find the mothership to land, the flying monster is not a perpetual motion machine, and the energy of the air knight is also limited.
