。

The ships of the Combined Fleet of the Ji Yan Empire came to Lunan Bay to fight this time, and there were more than 100 ships in total.

After defeating the Blue Flag Empire fleet and covering the landing of the Army soldiers loaded on the transports, some of the cruisers escorted the transports back to their homeland, preparing to continue transporting more Army follow-up troops.

The vast majority of the new battleships were left at the Lunan docks, after all, there were still three fleets of the Blue Flag Empire that had not suffered any losses.

And at this moment, moored on the dock is the remaining fleet led by three brand-new Kongo-class battleships.

The Kongo-class battleship was an all-steel battleship designed and built by the Kigar Empire only after the last Battle of the Blue Ki.

With a tonnage of more than 10,000 tons, this type of battleship is the largest displacement battleship of this era, and it is also the first new battleship to be made of all-steel.

What's more, this new battleship is not only a stronger hull, but also the two triple 314 mm caliber new cannons equipped on it are the biggest advantage of this King Kong-class battleship.

In fact, since the last Battle of Lanji, the Ki Empire has not only made rapid progress in the improvement of gunpowder, but also a variety of new high-strength steels and various novel warship designs have sprung up in the major shipyards of the Ki Empire.

And this King Kong-class battleship is the product of the combination of these new technologies.

The Kongo-class battleship located in the middle of the Lunan pier is the flagship of this combined fleet, the Majima Kongo-class battleship.

However, due to the special summons of the Emperor of the Kiraki Empire, the commander-in-chief of the Combined Fleet, Kurosawa Eagle, has already left with the returning fleet, so the captain of the Majima is now commanding the flagship, Rear Admiral Feitian Fang.

Unlike most countries in this world, the people of the Kija Empire do not strictly have a fixed surname, only a name, and in order to distinguish the family they belong to, they usually put their family name after their name on formal occasions.

Rear Admiral Flying Fangs has been unable to sleep today, although now is not the time for special combat readiness, in fact, as the acting commander of the fleet, Rear Admiral Flying Fangs does not have any pressure, but I don't know why I can't sleep after tossing and turning.

"Forget it, let's go out for a walk, I guess I've been on the boat for too long. I'll get off the boat tomorrow and go for a walk on land, I heard that the chicks of the Wasi tribe are very smart. ”

As he put on his gown, he pushed open the door to the captain's quarters, and Rear Admiral Flying Fangs prepared to go to the deck to breathe.

"Uh......h Yo ......"

Suddenly, a rush of sirens came from the passage.

"What's going on"

Rear Admiral Flying Fangs, who was stepping out of the captain's room, looked at the flashing red warning lights in the passage in confusion, which were only lit up when the fleet was attacked by an enemy.

"Captain, there's something unusual in the sky......"

At this moment, the red phone in the captain's room rang, and Rear Admiral Feifang hurriedly went back to grab the phone, and before he could ask, the anxious voice of the first mate on duty came from inside, but unfortunately before the rear admiral could hear it clearly, a loud roar, as well as violent swaying and trembling from the hull of the ship, interrupted the first mate's words.

"Could it be that the other fleets of the Blue Flag Empire have arrived? But why didn't the reconnaissance ship in the open sea send an alarm in advance? ”

Judging from the magnitude of the battleship's swaying and the loud explosion in his ears, Rear Admiral Flying Fangs immediately judged that this was a movement that could only be caused by a heavy artillery of more than 300 mm hitting the Majima.

However, the possibility of such a thing happening is very low now, and unless the Blue Flag Empire's fleet heavy artillery also has a large-caliber heavy gun equipped with a new type of gunpowder like the Majima, it will not be able to send shells to the harbor from the open sea.

"Boom!"

Another huge explosion sounded, although this time the Majima did not sway sharply, obviously this time the explosion did not happen on the Mashima, but the flying fangs did not dare to hesitate any longer, and immediately pulled out his legs and ran towards the bridge.

The captain's room of the Majima was not very far from the bridge, and Rear Admiral Flying Fangs soon arrived at the huge bridge of the Majima.

At this time, the gunhole of the bridge was already blazing, and the officers who stayed on the bridge were also busy in a panic, although no one could see that they were out of fear because of fear, but everyone's faces were full of shock and disbelief.

"What the hell is going on!"

Glancing out of the blazing porthole, although I didn't know the damage of the Majima, looking at the direction of the fire, it was definitely a major attack on the bow.

"Boom,"

Before the first mate could reply, a louder and more violent explosion came from outside.

"Bang!"

By the time everyone turned their heads in the direction where the explosion came from, the glass of the porthole of the bridge had been shattered by the violent shock wave that followed, and those blocky glass shards swept through the entire bridge like countless bullets.

"Ah...... My eyes ......"

As everyone had just turned their heads, many officers were hit in the eyes by the shards of glass that swept over, and for a time the entire bridge howled.

"Medical Department, hurry up and save people."

Major General Flying Fangs were lucky, because his position happened to be at an angle to the direction of the explosion, so the shards of glass that swept in did not hurt him and the first mate.

But seeing the officers covering their faces and wailing in pain, Rear Admiral Feifang also didn't know what to do, after all, the bridge can be said to be the head of this battleship, and now most of the officers here are injured, if it really encounters an attack by a strong enemy, then the combat effectiveness of the Majima will be greatly weakened.

"Damn, why haven't those resting officers come up yet, let them know quickly...... Has the boiler in the power room started to burn...... How about the gun emplacement......"

Although he was a little at a loss, as a captain, Rear Admiral Feitian Fangs quickly entered the state, came to the command platform, and gave orders one after another.

"Boom!"

This explosion was different from the previous ones, and with this explosion, the huge hull of the Majima shook violently. And since the glass of the bridge had been shattered just now, with this violent explosion, a shockwave that was even hotter than just now swept into the bridge again.

"Ahh

Rear Admiral Flying Fangs, who was standing on the podium, was about to raise his binoculars to look at the bow, but the deafening explosion nearly burst his eardrums, and the hot shock wave immediately toppled him to the ground.

"Ahem!"

Feeling like he had been overthrown to the ground by a tremendous force, Rear Admiral Flying Fangs felt his eyes go black and almost lose consciousness, and when his optic membranes regained sense, he was greeted by the oak floor full of shards of glass and the shaking hull of the ship.

He couldn't hear anything in his ears except the slightest tinnitus.

In the flickering firelight, he seemed to see several pairs of big feet running towards him.

"The ship seems to be tilting...... It's so stinging ......"

This was the last thought of Major General Flying Fang, and soon, his vision blurred again, and his brain fell into darkness.
