Chapter 60: Crisis

After Lao Zhang's heavy cruiser sank, the other two pirate heavy cruisers did not resist at all, and were sunk by the third combat group. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, before the 3rd Combat Group could withdraw from the battle, the ship's radar alarm sounded again: "Enemy targets have appeared!" ”

"Spot the local cruiser!"

Just as the third battle group was about to go up and destroy the three pirate warships that appeared, Zhang Lin's words dispelled everyone's thoughts: "Hurry up and evacuate, this is just the vanguard of pirates, once we are dragged back, we can't leave!" ”

Time is very urgent, the third battle group must evacuate this sea area in the shortest possible time, otherwise the consequences are unimaginable, when the third battle group found the pirates, the pirate warship also found them, and then the pirate battleship began to approach, the pirates understood, as long as the third battle group was dragged down, and other pirates came to support, the third battle group would inevitably be wiped out, the gap between the two sides was too big, and the third battle group had no hope of winning!

Then the two sides began to chase after each other, because the battleships of the third battle group were very slow, they could not run at all, but the distance between the two sides was very long, and the pirates did not dare to chase too closely, so they could only follow from a distance.

The mercenaries of the third battle group felt very aggrieved, and the pirates slowly chased after them, but they could not teach this group of arrogant pirates a lesson, and then the battleships of the third battle group shot at a distance of about twenty-five kilometers, but they were easily evaded by the pirates and did not get any effective hits.

Ten minutes later, the radar alert of the 3rd Combat Group again remembered "Enemy battleships found!" ”

"Enemy cruisers spotted!"

On the right side of the third battle group, there were pirate battleships again, this time a battleship and two cruisers, and now the situation has developed in a bad direction, although with the strength of the current pirate battleship, it is not possible to defeat the third battle group, but the third battle group cannot turn back to attack the pirates, the two sides are engaged in artillery battles at a long distance, after four or five salvos, neither side has achieved effective hits, almost all of them are wasting ammunition!

"Enemy destroyers spotted!" The radar alarm sounded again, and everyone in the third battle had an ominous premonition in their hearts, the pirate's destroyers had appeared, and there were only two at the moment, but the destroyer's ability Hope's had already shown them, and if they were really dragged by the pirate's destroyer, then it would be really dangerous.

"Don't panic, everyone, continue to move forward in the current direction, and the two destroyers will be handed over to me!" Zhang Lin sent such a telegram to each member of the Third Combat Group, and then the Hope and one of the destroyers of the Third Combat Group went to find the pirate destroyers that had just appeared, and dealt with the two destroyers before they could get out, otherwise the destroyers had been scouting in the shadows and would not be able to get rid of the enemy at all.

Hope and lead a destroyer to quickly go to the sea area where the destroyer had just been discovered, in the process of advancing, the Hope turned on the underwater radar to avoid the pirate destroyer from firing torpedoes, and after arriving at that area, the pirate destroyer was not found, Zhang Lin wondered if they left? Impossible, it must be nearby, risking being discovered, Zhang Lin ordered to turn on the high-power detection radar "Enemy targets found!" ”

"Enemy destroyers spotted!"

When the pirate's destroyer appeared on the radar of the Hope, Zhang Lin breathed a sigh of relief, "Just waiting for you to appear." Zhang Lin then sent a tactical telegram to the expulsion of friendly forces, and began to approach the pirate destroyer, the two sides were thirteen kilometers apart, and at the speed of the destroyer, it would not take much time to reach it at all.

The pirate destroyer also spotted the Hope, the two destroyers turned their bows and began to approach like the Hope, the Hope took the lead and began to shoot with the ship's guns, but the first shot missed, and the shell fell not far from the pirate destroyer, and then the Hope continued to adjust the firing Zhuyuan and made a second shot, this time the design, a high-explosive shell hit the chimney of the pirate destroyer, did not cause major damage, but it was a good start.

The pirate destroyers also began to return fire, but the effectiveness of their fire was really not flattering, three salvos, none of them hit, and the shells were still far from the Hope.

The distance between the two sides was reduced to eight kilometers, and the shells of the Hope hit the enemy destroyer again, and the Hope fired another ten torpedoes to block the course of the pirate destroyer. On the other hand, the pirates were more panicked: "Chief, the torpedo launcher is seriously damaged, the hull waterline is broken, and there are heavy casualties!" ”

"What, so serious?" The pirate leader looked incredulous when he heard the battle damage report, "What are you still doing coldly, turn on the smoke generator for me, and hide first." "They didn't know that the Hope was equipped with a new underwater radar and fire control radar, and even if it was hiding in the smoke, at such a close distance, the Hope could still continue firing with the help of advanced radar!

The leader of the 3rd Combat Group led a destroyer into a predetermined position and began to shoot at the pirate destroyer, but due to the poor quality of the crew compared to the Hope, the ship's gun fire did not achieve an effective hit, but it successfully attracted the attention of another pirate destroyer and relieved the pressure on the Hope!

At this time, the pirate thought that it would be safe to hide in the smoke, but who knew that the ship's guns of the Hope had been aiming at it, Zhang Lin slightly pulled the distance in, and when shooting at such a close distance, the dispersion of the shells was almost negligible, and just when the pirates thought they could relax a little, the ship made a violent vibration again and was hit again.

"What's the situation?" The pirate leader was a little crazy, obviously he had turned on the smoke generator, and he was constantly maneuvering.

"Chief, our engines are badly damaged beyond repair."

At this time, the speed of the pirate ship continued to decrease, the shells of the Hope hit again, the damage to the ship expanded again, and even near the waterline it had already broken and began to enter the water. At this time, the pirate leader had drained all his strength, and when he gave such an order, his warship had no way to continue galloping on the sea.

Seeing that the local destroyer lost power, Zhang Lin did not hesitate to fire a torpedo at it, for the destroyer, a torpedo can sink him, and more is a waste.

Zhang Lin didn't go to catch the prisoners either, now time is life, the situation is in crisis, and he can't take care of anything else.

Then the Hope went to support the friendly destroyer, when Zhang Lin rushed to the friendly side, he found that the two sides had damage to each other, compared to the loss of the mercenaries, the pirates were more miserable, the hope joined the battle to rewrite the situation of the battle, almost pressed the pirates to fight, the high hit rate of the Hope made the sailors on both sides stunned, it took less than three minutes, the hope and the friendly destroyer worked together to send another destroyer of the pirates to the bottom of the sea, and began to return!

On the way back to the Hope, the 3rd Combat Group sent a telegram that more than 20 pirate warships had surrounded the 3rd Combat Group on three sides, and the 3rd Combat Group was breaking through to a position where there were no enemy troops, telling the Hope to be careful.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Lin took a deep breath, this time it was more dangerous than ever, "Full speed ahead, support friendly forces!" ”
