This is not the first time Weiss has witnessed the 'exchange' of flying battleships, but whether it is the battle in which he was "killed" by a Norman armored ship over the Monamolin Mountains, or the fleet combat 'exercise' he saw during the 'spring' season, the impact of the visual senses and the shock of the 'spirit' senses are far less than the great air battle that took place over the Ulster-Wessex border line...

In the battle of the gods, mortals can only look up.

With the bitter lessons of the Royal Fleet of Wessex and the Garrison of Montston of the Federation, this Federation fleet certainly does not play hand-to-hand combat with its opponents. While the Norman fleet was still at the end of its sight, the Federation fleet had already adjusted its battle formation, put on a winged array that was relatively rare in actual combat, and the ships were changed from bows facing the enemy to facing the enemy diagonally on the port side. This combat posture not only slows down the speed at which the fleets of the two sides reduce the distance, but also takes into account the output of firepower, and reserves room for maneuver, which is a fleet tactic that is conducive to medium- and long-range artillery battles.

In the line of sight, the loyalty-class battleships that gave great encouragement to the federal officers and soldiers occupied the forward line, they not only have the most powerful main guns of this era, but also the level of protection is second to none, the improved carburized steel armor they use is the essence of the federal heavy industry, it is said that the protection capacity of the same thickness is 30% higher than that of ordinary carburized steel, and the key protection design of the revolutionary "sex" has greatly improved the survival "sex" of the battleship. After the two giants, there are four honor-class battleships with the same appearance, they are the most efficient capital ships built in batches between the two wars, from the start of the first ship to the completion of the last ship only 4 years and 10 months apart, their first public appearance has stunned the world, and is known as the strongest guardian force of freedom and peace, although their single ship strength can not be compared with the loyalty, Norman, and even amethyst class, long-term training and cooperation make this battleship detachment full of tacit understanding.

The Loyalty-class and Honor-class battleships in the wargroup formed the strongest battle line of the Federation fleet, and two Freedom-class battleships, which were nearly 20 years old, led the armored ships to form the second battle line. During the long service period, they have been modified twice, and the biggest change is that all the main guns have been upgraded to the 66PIR caliber naval guns used in the honor class, so that they have the qualifications to compete with their juniors in terms of firepower, and will not be reduced to a bystander in the current long-distance fleet artillery battle.

Four new, imposing Admiral Castille-class battlecruisers, along with a number of cruisers of similar silhouette, formed the tail of the winged array. When the battleships of both sides engaged in a huge artillery battle on the edge of the 'firing' range, they waited like a group of cavalrymen with graceful posture and composure, waiting for the order to charge unhurriedly.

On the other side of the battlefield, with new ship-based weapons with incredible deterrence, the Normans appeared to be emboldened. They did not hurry to lay out the usual "Cobra" battle line, and such a huge battle fleet, the "Cobra" formed was naturally huge: two Hoss-class battle cruisers were at the top of the array, like two cold and shining fangs, ready to stab at the prey at any time; Two Norman-class battleships are placed side by side in the second position, and the 10 '77pir' main guns that can fire at the front at the same time spit out deadly venom, and under the Norman-class battleships, there are two Vermillon-class battleships that are highly photographed in peacetime, they are the first type of battleships designed and built by the Norman Empire after the war, and are known for being the first to realize the full twin installation of the main guns, which was once regarded as a symbol of the Norman Empire's rearmament, and they also have 10 'doors' to align the targets in front Although the caliber of the 72 pir is a notch smaller than that of the Norman class, it has a high degree of technological maturity, and the accuracy of the 'shooting' within the effective 'firing' range is obviously better than that of the Norman class, and it is still a powerful weapon that should not be underestimated on the battlefield; at the bottom of the main array of the Norman fleet are two slightly aging Wallegg-class battleships, on paper. In terms of performance, this kind of battleship equipped with 65 pir caliber guns has completely lagged behind the main ships of the Ulster Free Federation and the Kingdom of Wessex, and it is difficult to be competent for the high-intensity mission of charging into battle, but in a battle with the main fleet of Wessex, their performance at both offensive and defensive ends can not help but be impressive.

Amid the rumbling roar of large-caliber naval guns, the ground trembled, and smoke and dust dispersed. Time passed quietly, five minutes passed, ten minutes passed, and in Weiss's special vision, the capital ships of both sides were still in a state of full blood, but this did not mean that both sides had no intention of putting each other to death. After many rounds of artillery fire, the Normans took the lead, only to see the two Horse-class battlecruisers occupying the highest position suddenly accelerate forward, and the cruisers in groups of two followed suit, closely covering their flanks. At first glance, this assault detachment was centered on Horse-class battle cruisers, but judging from the several examples of Norman flying units winning more with less, those armored ships and cruisers loaded with "devil's bombs" were the real assault fighters.

Seeing that the Norman fleet's array had changed, the Federation fleet quickly adjusted its firepower deployment. After a brief period of silence, the four Honor-class and two Freedom-class battleships began to 'fire' at the Norman air assault group, and as their relative positions changed, their rear main guns, which had not been given a 'shot' range, joined the bombardment. Immediately afterwards, the Federation armored ships formed in the second battle line opened fire one after another, and the cannon fire on the battlefield was tense for a while, and the battle atmosphere suddenly heated up.

In the magnified field of view through the telescope, Weiss saw that the Norman Horse-class battlecruisers and accompanying cruisers did not rush forward, they sometimes pressed the bow and descended rapidly, sometimes raised the bow and climbed again, sometimes quickly turned left, sometimes quickly turned right, in this rapid and continuous tactical maneuver, their guns were almost accurate to distant targets, but they were firing frequently, as if they were cheering with the sound of cannons, or they were trying their luck by disrupting the opponent......

The blocking artillery fire of the Federation warships was dense and fierce, but it was slow to hit the high-speed Norman patrol, and with the speed of the battlecruise, it only took more than two minutes to cross one-third of the battle distance. As the threat loomed, the formation of the Federation fleet finally changed: four Admiral Castille-class battlecruisers led six cruisers out of the battle line, and they moved in a straight line, maintaining a track of about 60 degrees from the Norman assault group. The strongest battle patrolmen adjusted their artillery and put on a posture of bombarding each other.

With a limited view from the bunker's observation port, Weisso walked out of the regimental headquarters and stood in the trench like an ordinary soldier and looked up at this crucial aerial duel. People say that the layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the 'door' road. In Weiss's special vision, the combat effectiveness of the two warships is fully displayed in numerical form: on the side of the Federal Fleet, the combat potential, equivalent protection, and action speed of the four Admiral Castillier-class have reached 81700+, 11780+, and 1930+ respectively, and there are slight differences between the ships. In terms of data, its offensive and defensive capabilities reach 3-4 times that of ordinary armored ships, and the maximum speed is close to twice that of armored ships. The upper limits of combat potential, equivalent protection, and action speed of the two Hoss-class ships on the opposite side are 78323.9/78455.4, 11411.1/11392.4, and 2097.4/2090.2, respectively.

Looking at the data alone, the absolute attack power and protection of the Norman Patrol are slightly inferior to those of the Federation Patrol, and the maximum speed is slightly advantageous. There is not much difference in the strength of the two battle cruisers, it can be said that they are chess opponents, and the Federation Army uses four battle cruisers to deal with the two battle cruisers of the Normans, which makes no sense to suffer, but when Weiss carefully inspected the four Norman cruisers, he immediately found clues - the upper limit of the combat potential of the Federation cruisers is usually between 24000-30000, and the four Norman cruisers accompanying the battle cruisers, the equivalent protection and action speed are not abnormal, but the upper limit of combat potential is as high as 60000+, Far more than the Federation cruisers and armored ships, and even the Freedom-class battleships of the Federation fleet!

It is no wonder that the Norman fleet is invincible, virtual and real, real and virtual, so that the opponent is unable to defend against it.

With his "fiery eyes", Weiss saw through the enemy's tricks, and he thought about using the radio to contact the commander of the Federation fleet, and even if he achieved his wish, how to convince the other party of himself would still be a big problem. Besides, the battlefield competition is strategy, judgment, determination, determination, will, and various combat skills, as well as the unquantifiable luck factor, even if you stand beside the fleet commander and provide him with all kinds of information in time, you may not be able to bring victory to the fleet; Even without the help of this anti-heaven skill, as long as you repeatedly ponder the previous tactics of the Norman fleet, plus the observation and judgment of the battlefield situation, it is not difficult to 'penetrate' the battle intent of the Norman assault group.

Good luck, Mr. Fleet Commander! Weiss prayed silently in his heart.

In the line of sight, the Norman assault group continued to 'close' close to the Federation fleet, and a short distance should be within the 'firing' range of the "devil's bomb", and at this time, the resistance they encountered was also unprecedentedly strong - the main and secondary guns of large warships and the main guns of light warships were concentrated on this air assault group. In the blink of an eye, two Hoss-class cruisers were shot one after another. The bow position of the lead ship was penetrated, and the explosion caused a fire, and the billowing black smoke from the bow made the view of the bridge command room a mess, while the port side of the other battle cruiser was hit hard, and the twin main guns on the left side were directly destroyed, and the violent explosion temporarily debalanced its hull. The four cruisers covering their flanks were also hit head-on, some of them were shot in their hulls, and smoke was billowing from the ships, and some of the bridges were bombarded, and the battleships lost their command......

The embarrassed appearance of the Norman assault group attracted a burst of cheers from the federal officers and soldiers on the ground, and many people thought that the federal fleet would soon win the first game point of this air duel, and then break the undefeated record of the Norman fleet in this war, but the wounded Norman battle cruisers and cruisers did not show even a trace of timidity, and they continued to move forward, because some ships were impaired in their maneuverability and could no longer maneuver as flexibly as before, they simply 'nature' straight line forward, and quickly showed the 'precision' that the Norman fleet is proud of Shoot' ability to hit. Within half a minute, one Norman cruiser was blown up in the air, the other was seriously wounded and stalled and fell, and the two battle cruisers were also covered in bruises. After paying such a heavy price, the Norman assault group finally got close enough to the main force of the Federation fleet, and the two cruisers flicked their tails and sharply turned, and each 'fired' 3-4 "devil's bombs" without pause.

In order to circumvent these high-powered assault weapons, whose operating principles are not yet clear, Federation ships have to make emergency maneuvers. In this process, the formation of the Federation fleet was not 'chaotic', and only one Honor-class battleship was hit, and the fleet's combat effectiveness was almost lost, but when they survived the crisis and prepared to regroup, they found that the Norman fleet in full formation had reduced the distance between the two sides by nearly half, and the six Norman battleships poured fierce and accurate artillery fire on the opposing Union battleship. After a while, the Federation ships were shot, and while one or two shells might not have dealt them a heavy blow, they could damage their guns, blow up their equipment, and weaken their combat capabilities, making it more difficult for them to defend themselves against the assault tactics of the Norman fleet in the ensuing battle.

In the trench, Weiss silently maintained a standing posture, looking up at the sky for a long time, always paying attention to the changes in the combat values of the warships on both sides. With the current situation of the war, the Federation fleet has no way to retreat if it wants to hold the border defense line and keep the retreat for the hundreds of thousands of troops who have penetrated deep into Wessex, and must win this vital air duel if they can hope to continue to defend their precious freedom; The Normans had been gaining momentum for a long time, winning successive battles, and their fighting spirit was high, and it was a good time to finish their work, and if they slackened, they could fall into a war of attrition like the previous one, and their determination to fight to the death was as hard as steel.

No one can predict who will win or lose this battle, but it is certain that its outcome will inevitably affect the course of the entire war. Being in it, even if you have the ability that ordinary people can't reach, you can't change anything, which is the helplessness and sadness of the little people. Under the sky full of bullet marks and gunsmoke, Weiss suddenly had an epiphany: since God has endowed him with extraordinary supernatural powers, he should have the courage to undertake a special mission, why should he look ahead and hide it? As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, the future road, is the time to change the way!
