Chapter 53: The Fisherman's Profit
The Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire Navy, frantically attacked, three battleships and four cruisers, plus escort destroyers, a total of sixteen battleships, under the command of the commander of the Third Fleet, began to prepare to eliminate this group of pirates, of course, led by Zhang Lin's Hope!
Zhang Lin ordered the Hope to start releasing a large number of smoke screens to protect it until the Hope disappeared from everyone's field of vision, although the radar until there was a destroyer in front, but the main gun crew could not observe it, and it didn't know if it hit or not after several shots, so it had to give up!
The commander of the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire Navy was furious when he saw the Hope being so cunning, but a destroyer can't turn over any wind and waves, and it's not too late to teach it a lesson when the smoke clears, but these pirates in front of him are really damned, they dare to do this, they must let them know a little color, otherwise they will completely lose their face!
The pirates were not to be outdone, the previous invasion of the Blue Moon Empire caused the pirates to be unable to rob at all, and the good life was gone, which made this group of pirates who were used to living a comfortable life very uncomfortable, and their hatred for the Blue Moon Empire skyrocketed!
The battle was on the verge of breaking out, the two sides were very close, mobility and speed were useless at such a close distance, each main gun shot could achieve a high hit rate, no shooting skills were required at all, the pirates and the Blue Moon Empire's Third Fleet opened fire almost simultaneously, countless shells streaked across the sky, emitting a piercing sonic boom, and finally hit their respective targets. A light cruiser of the Blue Moon Empire www.biquge.info's Third Fleet was the first to be sunk, and a large number of armor-piercing shells directly penetrated its armor, destroying its internal structure, and then entering the water and sinking!
And before the pirates could be proud, a huge roar shattered their good dreams, and the three hundred and eighty mm guns of the three battleships of the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Imperial Navy opened fire, and the two twin-mounted main turrets in front of the battleship sprayed a total of twelve armor-piercing shells, directly hitting a light cruiser at the front of the pirates, although it was facing the enemy with the bow, but at close range, the large-caliber armor-piercing projectiles directly forced through the weak armor of his bow, completely destroying the bow, Three more armor-piercing shells pierced the lateral armor of the main turret ammunition depot in front of it, detonating its ammunition depot, causing the cruiser's ammunition depot to detonate, directly blowing itself into two knots and quickly sinking!
Once the two sides start a war, it is a situation of endless death, it is impossible to escape from such a close distance, only by letting go of the fight, can there be a chance to survive, and there are almost nothing that can make these pirates afraid, they have been living a life of sweet blood, and they don't know what fear is.
Then the battle turned into a close-quarters battle, the main guns and secondary guns of both sides tried their best to spray anger at the enemy, sink the enemy with the greatest ability, and gain a chance to survive for themselves, but because the pirates only had one battleship, they were suppressed on the large-caliber main guns, on the other hand, the three battleships of the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire, each salvo of the main guns could severely damage a pirate battleship, and even a salvo of the main guns could directly sink a pirate battleship, and this time the pirates became smarter!
Since it is a close-quarters battle, the role of torpedoes is highlighted, such a close distance, with the maneuverability of battleships, it is simply impossible to dodge torpedo attacks, and most of the destroyers and cruisers are equipped with torpedo launchers, in order to survive, several pirate destroyers began to desperately rush forward, risking being sunk to prepare to mine the three battleships of the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Imperial Navy! The same goes for cruisers, both sides not only fire at each other's guns, but also fire torpedoes at each other, but in order to avoid hitting friendly forces, both sides are very careful with the use of torpedoes when fighting, but these are broken by the pirates!
A cruiser was shot in many places and was seriously damaged, and fired torpedoes at his opponent, and the cruiser of the Third Fleet was not to be outdone after seeing the pirate firing torpedoes, and fired torpedoes at the seriously damaged pirate cruiser, because the pirate cruiser was seriously damaged, it was directly hit by all four torpedoes and sank directly, but the cruiser of the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire, under desperate dodge, was hit by two torpedoes, the hull was damaged, and a large amount of water entered, but fortunately, it was not a critical position, Damage management can also be controlled! 、
Other torpedoes went directly at other warships, some battleships didn't understand what was happening, they were inexplicably hit by torpedoes, and thought that their opponents fired torpedoes at themselves, and began to use torpedoes to return the color, but, under the desperate dodging of Shuangfang, there were still torpedoes that did not hit, and finally were captured by the radars of other warships, and both sides no longer estimated their friendly forces, all battleships equipped with torpedoes began to release torpedoes, and a large number of torpedoes began to string in the narrow waters of the Sidewinder Strait, There are always a few unlucky battleships that are hit by torpedoes, and even more unlucky ones are directly hit by torpedoes and turn rudders, lose their ability to steer, and cannot dodge other torpedoes and are sunk, and I don't know whether it is an enemy torpedo or a friendly torpedo!
The Hope hiding in the smoke in the distance was also torpedoed, but due to the distance, with the mobility of the Hope, it was easy to avoid the past, at this time Zhang Lin had already observed the form of the battlefield, and the two sides had no time to estimate him, and the rattlesnake Strait was now empty in defense, Zhang Lin began to order the Hope to start crossing the strait, and neither side noticed that the culprit who caused this tragic naval battle had slipped away, and was still desperate with each other, and both sides suffered heavy losses, On the contrary, the Hope, which caused this war, was not damaged at all!
In the Rattlesnake Strait, the Hope rode the wind and waves briskly, and at the entrance of the strait, the war between the pirates and the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire continued, and both sides played a real fire, due to the advantage of the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire Navy in terms of equipment and soldier quality, the losses were better than those of the pirates, on the other hand, the pirates were beaten very badly, and six of the fifteen battleships that came over were stubbornly resisting and scarred, and the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire was sunk seven warships, leaving nine warships, if it wasn't for a close-range grappling, The Third Fleet can eliminate this group of pirates almost without much cost, but this is war, victory is prepared for those who are prepared and can see the form of the battlefield, and then half an hour later, the Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire Navy paid the price of a battleship, sinking all the remaining pirate warships, and the other pirate warships watching on the battlefield were scattered, if they attacked the Third Fleet at this time, then it would be easy to destroy the Third Fleet, but no one would do this, after all, it was to let themselves fight hard!
And the Hope has already crossed the Sidewinder Strait at this time, and the real culprit has achieved his goal and let himself breathe a sigh of relief!
