Chapter 131: The Great Defeat of Aslan (Part II)

Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Aslan Empire's fleet pursued the fleet of the Reims Empire at the fastest speed, but halfway through the pursuit, a light cruiser hit a mine, and the damage was serious, and the right side of the bow was blown up by a mine to open a gap of nearly fifty centimeters, causing the bow to enter the water, reducing seaworthiness and reducing speed! The captain of the ship quickly reported this information to the fleet commander: "Commander, the enemy has laid mines on the course of our pursuit, request to stop the advance!" ”

The commander of the Aslan Imperial fleet was greatly annoyed after receiving the information, and he had already seen catching up with the Reims Imperial fleet, but now he encountered this situation, which was really unpleasant: "The fleet stopped advancing, and ordered the destroyers to start minesweeping!" ”

The destroyer that received the minesweeping order turned on the underwater detection radar, and the dense red dots on the radar screen made the radar soldiers feel numb: "Oh my God, how many mines did the Reims Empire lay on us?" ”

After hearing the exclamation of the radar soldiers, the captain of the ship immediately came to the radar screen, and couldn't help but curse angrily in his heart: "Connect the flagship to me!" ”

"Commander, I suggest that we retreat immediately, a large number of mines have been found around us, and the demining work will be very slow, and the fleet will not be able to move safely for a while!"

After receiving the report, the commander of the Aslan Empire's fleet also had a retreat in his heart, he was afraid of falling for the tricks of the Reims Empire, after all, there are mines all around the waterway now, once the war starts, the Aslan Empire's fleet will fall into the disadvantage of being annihilated, and it will not be so easy to leave when the time comes!

"Pass my order, immediately clear the mines around the fleet, the fleet turns around, and this place is at once!" However, Zhang Lin finally arranged the situation of catching turtles in the urn, how could he not have a follow-up The destroyer fleet that went to the northern seaport of the Aslan Empire had already come to the rear of the Aslan Empire's fleet, just to interfere with the evacuation of the Aslan Empire's fleet!

At a distance of 20 kilometers from the Aslan Empire, torpedoes began to be released, this time these destroyers are equipped with the latest development of oxygen torpedoes, this kind of torpedoes track is unclear, difficult to find, fast speed, long distance, Zhang Lin asked the destroyers to launch torpedoes at a speed of 45 knots, torpedoes can sail at a speed of 45 knots, sail 30 kilometers, the entire destroyer fleet in a fan shape surrounded the Aslan Empire fleet, began to fire torpedoes frantically, in order to maximize the carrying of torpedoes, Zhang Lin asked the destroyer fleet to reduce other ammunition and materials to basically maintain the normal operation of the warships, and the remaining space is all equipped with torpedoes, this time is to let the Aslan Empire taste the tactics used in World War II on the earth, this kind of unlimited torpedo tactics should be the first time for the Aslan Empire fleet, and it can achieve unexpected results!

Of course, the Storm Fleet needs to go up again to expand the results of the war, this time it will definitely make the Aslan Empire collapse, you must know that the development of the navy is not an overnight thing, but also requires a lot of money and time investment, just like the Lance Empire, even if the industrial base is very strong, but in order to restore the strength of the navy It will take at least two years, and it will take nearly ten years for the navy to recover!

It took more than twenty minutes for the destroyers of the Aslan Imperial Fleet to keep the surrounding waters in a safe state, of course, this is only to give the fleet's warships room to turn the rudder, if the navigation does not change, thunderstorming is inevitable!

But this gave Zhang Lin the most precious time, at this time the storm fleet was only forty kilometers away from the Aslan Imperial fleet, under Zhang Lin's order, the fleet quickly headed for the battlefield at a speed of thirty knots, and a fierce naval battle was about to break out!

As soon as all the warships of the Aslan Imperial fleet turned their bows, the detection radar found that there were a large number of destroyers active in front of the fleet, and after several confirmations, no other warships of the Reims Empire were found.

The distance of more than ten kilometers is enough for the best range of most of the warships of the Aslan Imperial fleet, even if the destroyer has the most flexible maneuverability, under the pressure of a powerful fleet, it is a matter of time before it is defeated!

It's just that the Reims Empire destroyer fleet will not fight head-on with the Aslan Empire fleet at all, their task is only to lightning strike and drag the enemy army, and buy time for the storm fleet to reach the battlefield, which is enough, and then this destroyer fleet began to open the smoke screen protection on a large scale to avoid being attacked by the enemy's ferocious firepower, and although the Aslan Imperial fleet clearly knew that the enemy battleship was in the smoke under the radar, but after losing the observation of the observation scope, it didn't know whether it hit the enemy or not after several shots, but wasted a lot of ammunition!

Just when the Aslan Imperial Fleet was about to bypass this destroyer fleet, a large number of torpedoes came from the front, and if it weren't for the destroyers who kept the underwater detection radar on, I was afraid that the Aslan Imperial Fleet would be severely damaged by this wave of torpedoes!

It's just that this torpedo is an anti-fan attack, no matter how you avoid it, there will be a risk of being hit by a torpedo, in this case, you can only choose a way with less loss to avoid this wave of torpedoes, and finally the commander of the Yaslan Imperial Fleet ordered the two destroyers to attack the position of the lateral torpedoes, and the sailors all abandoned the ship, and the other battleships hid in the safety zone of the two destroyers to block the torpedoes, preventing large surface warships such as battleships from receiving torpedo attacks!

It is estimated that Zhang Lin would not have thought that the Yaslan Empire's fleet would use this kind of tragic behavior of a strong man breaking his wrist to avoid this wave of torpedoes, of course, this is a relatively small loss, if it is a battleship with poor maneuverability, the sinking of a battleship is an unacceptable loss for the Aslan Empire, so he simply abandoned the two destroyers!

Behind the blockade of these two destroyers, more than a dozen battleships crowded into this small safe zone, waiting for this torpedo attack to pass!

The muffled sound of two destroyers being hit by torpedoes kept coming from underwater, and the sailors on the ships of the Aslan Imperial Fleet heard it, and the feeling in their hearts was indescribable, obviously they were stronger than the enemy, but they had let the enemy lead the way until they left the port, and this feeling was difficult to accept!

Although there were two destroyers blocking torpedoes for the fleet, there was still a battleship hit by a torpedo, and the muffled sound of the explosion made the whole battleship shake, fortunately, the torpedo did not explode directly at the battleship, but only penetrated the battleship's underwater anti-mine bulge, causing a slight water ingress in the anti-mine bulge, and most of the energy of the explosion was absorbed by the seawater, and did not penetrate the mine-proof wall compartment, and the battleship did not enter the water, just a false alarm, but this also made the battleship's sailors shocked!

Just as the Aslan Imperial fleet dodged the torpedo attack and was about to leave the area, the detection radar reported "Enemy target has appeared!" ”
