Chapter 160: The Battle of the Storm Pirates 4

In order to avoid being seized by www.biquge.info the Storm Fleet again, this time Alan and Li Bolong converged the main force of the fleet and rushed towards the Storm Fleet together!

Although Zhang Lin received the information and already knew that the Pirate Alliance had a large number of people coming this time, when Zhang Lin saw that there were all warships in front of him, he felt his scalp tingle at night!

There are at least sixty warships, and the number of main warships is very large, reaching an astonishing thirteen, which makes Zhang Lin a little speechless, how can a small pirate alliance raise so many warships?

It seems that he was a little too cautious, and he should vigorously expand the fleet, so that the gap between the enemy and us is not so big now!

In fact, Zhang Lin is a little greedy, the economic power of the Storm Strait can't afford to raise so many warships at all, if it wasn't for the gold coins extorted from elsewhere, the Storm Strait would have gone bankrupt a long time ago!

Looking at the Pirate Alliance warships that are getting closer and closer, Zhang Linbu's nervousness is fake, but at present, Zhang Lin Zhang Lin needs to keep a cool head, and the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe!

The ships are ready, as for the Pirate Alliance's side, this time the two fleets are combined into one, just to defeat the Storm Fleet at once, since you dare to come up, then don't blame us for being polite!

The battleships of both sides began to engage in artillery battles at a distance of thirty kilometers, and although the long-range main gun fire had a low hit rate, it could achieve good results in terms of fire suppression!

However, in fact, the Black Dragon Fleet and the Vermilion Bird Fleet misestimated the final combat effectiveness of the Storm Fleet, in order to achieve the greatest results, the Storm Fleet quickly approached these two fleets, and under Zhang Lin's order, all the warships adopted the mode of strong ammunition to shorten the life of the main guns to obtain the maximum firepower!

In the main turrets of the three battleships, the work of the automatic loafers was almost doubled, and the sailors desperately loaded the shells from the loafers into the gun hall, and then quickly loaded the cartridges, this process took only twenty-four seconds, and then the main guns were under the control of the fire control radar, aiming at the enemy battleship and firing!

Allen frowned and observed the situation ahead, he and Li Bolong stayed at the rear of the fleet to command the battle, he found that although his own battleships had a great advantage in numbers, they could not suppress the battleships of the Storm Fleet, the main reason was that once the cruiser approached a distance of twenty kilometers, the enemy's battleship's secondary guns would fire with all their might, and in terms of firepower projection, it was even stronger than the cruisers of the two fleets!

In terms of the battleship's main guns, Allen paid close attention to the new battleship, and there was intelligence that the battleship's main guns even exceeded the astonishing caliber of four hundred and twenty millimeters, and Allen had to pay attention to it!

The main gun of the Intrepid did put great pressure on the battleship of the Pirate Alliance, in the state of strong charge shooting, the main gun of the Intrepid almost did not ricochet, although the life of the main gun was greatly shortened, but the armor-piercing effect of the shell was effectively improved, and at an angle that the enemy thought was impossible, it actually penetrated the armor of the enemy ship, which surprised the commanders of the front of the Black Dragon Fleet and the Suzaku Fleet, and had to be impressed by this battleship!

At this moment, a heavy cruiser of the Suzaku fleet was firing at the enemy at an angle of forty degrees to the side, but unfortunately, it was targeted by the Dreadnought, and nine 460 mm guns roared at the heavy cruiser!

Although the captain of the heavy cruiser believed that at such angles it would be difficult for enemy shells to penetrate the armor of the ship, the main guns of the Dreadnought completely shattered his illusions, and at a distance of twenty kilometers, three shells hit the heavy cruiser!

After this heavy cruiser was hit by a shell, it barely had time to react, and the No. 1 main turret in front of it exploded violently, causing the hull to break from under the No. 1 main turret, and the No. 1 main turret of this heavy cruiser was also overturned by the explosion, becoming the first battleship to be tragically sunk in this naval battle!

The strength of the Dreadnought made the enemy fearful, and the observer of the Black Dragon Fleet, who was in charge of recording the observation, recorded the height of the water column when the Dreadnought's shell entered the water, and after calculating according to the formula, he was taken aback and quickly reported this information to Allen!

Alan took the information in his hand, his face was extremely ugly, his guess really came true, the four hundred and sixty mm main gun, it seems that it is extremely important to sink this battleship, otherwise it will be too much of a threat to his own battleship, and it will be hit by his shell, and the consequences will be unacceptable!

After receiving Allen's order, all the warships of the Black Dragon Fleet turned their main guns to the Dreadnought and fired wildly, and for a time the Dreadnought turned out to be the target of all the people, and shells of various calibers continued to fall into the water around the Dreadnought, and even a cruiser dumped high-explosive bombs on the Dreadnought's hull!

But the sailors on the Dreadnought did not panic, they understood the performance of this battleship, with this level of attack, it was not possible to pose a mortal threat to the Dreadnought, and now was the best time to use the four hundred and sixty mm caliber main gun!

When the Black Dragon Fleet paid too much attention to the Dreadnought, but ignored the Freedom and Victory not far away, and the Suzaku Fleet withstood the ferocious fire of these two battleships, wondering why the Black Dragon Fleet only attacked one Storm Fleet ship!

The Liberty's 420 mm cannon is not necessarily inferior to the Intrepid's 460 mm cannon, not to mention that the Liberty has one more main turret than the Intrepid, and its firepower density is stronger than the Intrepid!

These two battleships made the Suzaku fleet miserable, because the fleet was too large and difficult to deploy, and was slammed by two battleships when it was unable to give full play to its own firepower advantage, which really made Li Bolong crazy, on the other hand, Allen let the fleet open the formation early, although the large-caliber main gun of the Dreadnought was caught off guard in the early stage, but now after the firepower of the Black Dragon fleet is concentrated, it slowly occupies the initiative!

Zhang Lin, who was paying close attention to the enemy's movements on the Liberty, had already discovered the predicament of the Dreadnought, and the two Hope-class destroyers opened a smoke screen around the Dreadnought, and the fire of the Black Dragon Fleet cruiser attracted by the two heavy cruisers on the flanks made the sailors of the Dreadnought breathe a sigh of relief and were able to calmly extinguish the fire that broke out in the bow of the ship!

Allen looked at the scattered formation of the Suzaku Fleet, and was furious, could it be that you Li Bolong didn't have any command talent, and was beaten like this by the two battleships of the Storm Fleet, this is too unusual!

Then the Black Dragon Fleet came to the aid of the Suzaku Fleet, allowing the formation of the Suzaku Fleet to unfold!

Watching the formation of the enemy fleet unfold, Zhang Lin understood that the battle below would be extremely unfavorable to the Storm Fleet, just taking advantage of the fact that the formation of the Suzaku Fleet had not yet been expanded, and achieved a certain advantage, and now the enemy's numerical superiority is about to suppress the Storm Fleet, and the most difficult moment is coming!
