Under the escort of three light cruisers, the Liberty went to the coordinates sent by the Hope, and at a speed of twenty-four knots, according to the information sent by the Hope, the warships of the Pirate Alliance appeared here, and they were suspected to be the Black Dragon Fleet, which made Zhang Lin very interested!

An hour later, the Liberty came to the vicinity of the Hope, and when the Liberty appeared, the warships of the Pirate Alliance had already discovered the Liberty, and since the Liberty did not fly the flag, the pirates thought that it was not the battleship of the Blue Moon Empire Navy, but only sent a telegram of inquiry, and did not take the initiative to attack, because the Liberty target was very large, and it was easy to find at a distance of twenty kilometers, just when the reconnaissance fleet of the Black Dragon Fleet was puzzled, the Hope pulled back the smoke curtain and made the Liberty disappear from their field of vision!

"Prepare for battle, order the main artillery crew to use K3 armor-piercing shells, ranging radar, fire control radar, accurately calculate the shooting elements, swing out in the T-shape, complete the loading, and immediately open the gun!" Zhang Lin crumpled the telegram from the Black Dragon Fleet, threw it into the paper basket, and looked at the red dot on the radar screen, "I won't let you pirates go so easily this time!" ”

The three escorting light cruisers followed Zhang Lin's order, the T head was swinged, and the main guns fired first, and the four battleships watched the Liberty disappear into the smoke screen, and felt that something was wrong, and when they were about to warn the Freedom again, a large number of shells flew out of the smoke screen, understanding that the enemy was not good!

"The ammunition status of the main gun crew is complete!" There was a report from the main gun group in the communicator!

"After the calculation of the shooting elements, start adjusting the angle of fire!"

"Ready!"

With the roar of the giant cannon in the smoke screen, the first main gun fire of the Liberty began, the four hundred and twenty mm giant cannon sprayed a huge pillar of fire, and twelve rounds were whistling away by the armor-piercing shells, after accurate calculations, the landing point of the shells was very accurate, although it did not hit, but the shells stirred up a huge column of water up to more than eighty meters so that the commander of the Black Dragon fleet was scared into a cold sweat! "Hurry up and retreat, the place has a battleship, the main gun caliber is unknown, it is not suitable for battle!"

But Zhang Lin will not let them go so easily, the Liberty's flare-up machine is very efficient, and it can pack the shells and propellants into the gun hall in twenty seconds, the attacked light cruiser has just turned the bow, the second main gun of the Liberty is loaded, and with the main gun salvo again, the cruiser is no longer so lucky, an armor-piercing shell penetrates the outer plate of the stern, although there is no explosion, but it destroys the stern structure, causing the steering gear to get stuck and cannot turn the rudder, and the cruiser begins to circle in place, The crane at the stern of the ship was pressed on the steering gear, and the crane weighing more than ten tons could not be moved away by manpower, even if the damage management team was already doing its best to rescue!

And the three light cruisers escorting the Liberty saw such a good opportunity, and a large number of one hundred and fifty millimeters leaned towards the cruiser, but Zhang Lin no longer paid attention to the unlucky cruiser!

Due to the enemy's escape, Zhang Lin gave the order and began to pursue, but the enemy was only a scout force, and the speed was faster than that of the Liberty, because of the huge hull and lack of maneuverability, the Liberty pursued for a period of time, and after severely damaging the two cruisers, Zhang Lin ordered to stop the pursuit!

Zhang Lin understood that the main force of the Black Dragon Fleet was nearby, Zhang Lin asked the four destroyers to start a large-scale reconnaissance, and it was necessary to find the main force of the Black Dragon Fleet, if they could fight an encounter, then it was not impossible to severely damage the Black Dragon Fleet.

"Sir, the Hope report that nothing unusual has been found!"

"Sir, the other warships reported that no anomalies were found!"

Zhang Lin thought about it carefully, the enemy received the report and may have temporarily evacuated to avoid fighting with an unknown enemy, thinking of this, Zhang Lin ordered the fleet to go to the Storm Strait at full speed, Zhang Lin understood that the most severe battle was about to unfold there! This time it was only a few light cruisers that did not enter the stream, not even a single heavy cruiser, and such a battle was not a problem for the Liberty at all!

When the Liberty went to the Storm Strait, there were constantly destroyers wandering around, seemingly looking for intelligence, but Zhang Lin did not cover up his whereabouts, the Freedom was so big, Zhang Lin had no way to hide her whereabouts, but as long as the enemy dared to stop it, it would be a direct war, no need to worry so much!

However, certain tactics are still necessary, the strength of the pirate alliance is unknown, Zhang Lin must consider the overall situation and minimize his losses!

Rakic City, the headquarters of the Pirate League.

"What you said is true, what kind of force will such a big warship be?" This time, the high-level of the Pirate Alliance was not so calm, and the seven bigwigs seemed to have all stood up for the report, and the old man at the head was very surprised, and he didn't believe the report of his subordinates at all!

"My lord, this is true, and his subordinates are desperate to run back, and they have already sent someone to keep an eye on them!" A young man in a black dragon suit half-knelt on the ground and said respectfully!

"The water splashed by the shells was eighty meters high, so it is estimated that the caliber of the main guns is more than 400 millimeters, and your battleship was severely damaged, all of which were caused by the shells passing through, and not a single shot exploded in your ship?" Another big guy was very surprised by this, according to this, it may be true, for weak armor, it is normal for armor-piercing shells to be over-pierced!

"My lord, we have checked the damage to the hull, the diameter is more than 420 millimeters, and according to the situation of the battle at that time, the battleship has at least 50,000 tons of displacement!"

Everyone was silent, and after a while, a big man asked, "So what kind of force is the enemy, and what do you want to do in our territory?" ”

"Judging from the intelligence of the past two days, the place where the enemy is going is the Storm Strait!"

"What did you say?"

……

"Sir, we are already approaching the Storm Strait, a large number of pirate warships have been found ahead, the number is unknown, according to the information provided by the strait, at least a regular fleet is stationed here!" Li Li reported the current situation to Zhang Lin!

Carefully looking at the map on the table, he used a pencil to draw an area on the periphery of the Storm Strait: "Order four destroyers to assemble here, be sure not to let the place send it, hide it, wait for my order!" ”

"Send a telegram to the strait, start attacking all pirate warships within range with shore defense artillery, then the enemy will definitely come in this direction, we are waiting here for them to send to the door, but we will say hello to them with torpedoes and shells!" Zhang Lin half-joked, the coming of the big war always makes people's emotions a little nervous, and it is better to relax appropriately!

"Order the fleet to set off for this place and arrive in two hours!" After Zhang Lin finished ordering, "Jin Zhe Li Li, follow me to each group to check on the soldiers, the battle will be cruel soon, let's go and boost morale!" ”
