Chapter 13: A Great Victory
With the Second Fleet joining the naval battle, the Reims Empire completely turned the tide and morale was high, the ships of the Aslan Empire were constantly sunk, and the huge explosion filled the sky of Moroccan waters with dark clouds!
Lanto paid a huge price at this time because of his command mistakes, first the aircraft carrier formation was wiped out, and then the combined fleet was raided from the rear, chaotic, there was a chance to stabilize the formation, but a temporary fleet, the order could not be carried out in place, like a plate of scattered sand, unable to form combat effectiveness, defeat is inevitable, if Lanto can really command this fleet, then even if it fails, it will not be defeated so badly!
Zhang Lin watched the combined fleet of the Yasco Empire begin to flee for their lives, and directly ordered, "Now is the best time for us to expand the results of the battle, the chaos of the enemy has made us, no need to scruples, open fire at will, and strive to completely annihilate the enemy army!" Zhang Lin also understood that it was impossible to completely annihilate the enemy, but he would not let go of the opportunity to beat the water dogs, and when the credit was finally assessed, the second fleet was indispensable!
With Zhang Lin's order in place, the Second Fleet began to show the power of the latest technology to manufacture ships, 50% faster than others in the main gun loading time, excellent maneuverability, and high-strength armor-piercing projectile body, all show that the Second Fleet is well-equipped, when the armor-piercing shell hits the enemy ship, the shell is rarely broken, the phenomenon of ricochet is inevitable for anyone, but the excellent strength of the projectile makes it easy for the shell to penetrate the enemy's armor!
One enemy ship after another was sunk or captured, and the naval battle turned into a one-sided war, and Lanto ran to the second chamber to command the Spirit to leave the battlefield, when suddenly the siren sounded "Torpedo found in the bow!" ”
"Torpedo approaching the bow of the ship!" Lanto's face was pale, it was really a roof leak that happened to rain overnight, and with the violent shaking of the Spirit ship, Lanto was thrown to the ground again, this time he couldn't care about tidying up his image anymore, and commanded the damage management team of the Spirit to repair, delaying a lot of time!
Zhang Lin's second fleet entered the harvesting stage, and every salvo of main guns could completely defeat an enemy ship, and the Reims Empire completely won this naval battle, and it was a complete victory, although the losses were relatively heavy, but it was nothing compared to the Aslan Empire!
Lanto finally repaired the inlet of the Spirit, but found himself surrounded by enemies, and Lanto, who did not intend to surrender, was ready to put up a stubborn resistance, but before he could finish preparing his artillery, he was surrounded by shells, and then he sank into the sea with the Spirit!
As a large number of ships of the Aslan Empire fled, Zhang Lin received an order from his superiors to pursue the enemy with all his might, and be sure to destroy the enemy's living forces, so that the Aslan Empire could not organize a decent fleet in the short term, and then Zhang Lin led the second fleet to start pursuing!
Relying on the Second Fleet's advantage in speed, Zhang Lin quickly caught up with some battleships that were injured and could not quickly leave the battlefield, and the three heavy cruisers opened fire directly at the boiler room of the enemy ship, completely causing the enemy ship to lose power. After a day www.biquge.info and two nights of pursuit, they arrived at the deep-water port of Datong in the Yaslan Empire, and Zhang Lin ordered to stop the pursuit to avoid entering the range of the enemy's coastal defense guns in the harbor, causing unnecessary damage to the Second Fleet!
Zhang Lin said to the clerk: "Report the battle damage!" ”
"Commander, in this naval battle, I was hit by a total of seventeen shells, the Edward Hao II radar was damaged, the crane behind the Warrior Battleship was hit by a shell, the crane was ineffective and could not recover the reconnaissance aircraft, a five-pack torpedo launcher on the Iceberg was destroyed, the torpedo did not explode, the bridge of the Allure was pierced by enemy armor-piercing shells, but no explosion occurred, the fire broke out on the battleship Invincible, and a large number of empty guns were burned! Although the rest of the ships were hit, there was no damage, and a total of 746 sailors died in this battle. The clerk saluted Zhang Lin and closed the record book!
"Zhang Lin silently passed my order, and everyone in the fleet paid silent tribute to the sacrificed comrades!" Then Zhang Lin took off his military hat, bowed his head and paid silent tribute to the sacrificed sailors, three minutes later Zhang Lin took up his hat, and the staff officers and other personnel of the command headquarters also waited for Zhang Lin to speak: "Our victory is the comrade-in-arms in exchange for their lives, we must not forget them, the secretary, report our results!" ”
Then the clerk picked up another record book, opened it and reported loudly to Zhang Lin: "Commander, our military industry has consumed 358 high-explosive incendiary bombs, 1,670 armor-piercing shells, hit a total of 432 shells, and the hit rate is 21.3 percent, sinking a total of two enemy aircraft carriers, sinking three enemy battleships, sinking seven enemy heavy cruisers, one light cruiser, sinking nine enemy destroyers, sinking 16 enemy ships and four enemy ships with other auxiliaries, and capturing four enemy ships. ”
"Send a report to the Supreme Command, report the results of the battle, and the whole army will return!"
As the Second Fleet began to return, the Reims Empire celebrated, this time the Empire defeated the old rival Aslan Empire, and achieved a lot of benefits at sea, on the other hand, the Aslan Empire, a wail, not only the main force of the sea was disabled, a large number of maritime interests were lost, and from a first-class military power to a barely second-rate naval state, the enemy who had offended would definitely fall into the ground, and it would take at least thirty years to restore the military strength in its heyday, which was still in the case of everything going well, but this is simply impossible, the standard of living of the name of the country has dropped by several grades, the national economy has collapsed, order is chaotic, and crime has skyrocketed!
The Louis Military Port is lit up, and this row of salutes is placed at the entrance of the military port, and all the people who greet them at the entrance are wearing dresses and are in good spirits, waiting for the return of the heroes!
When Zhang Lin led the Second Fleet to approach Port Louis, seventy-four salutes began to sound earth-shattering, and the crowd let out enthusiastic cheers. When Zhang Lin led the personnel of the Second Fleet to get off the ship, Zhang Long led all the personnel of the United Fleet to meet him, Zhang Lin trotted two steps, and immediately saluted Zhang Long with a standard military strength, "Report to the general, the Second Fleet returns to Hong Kong!" ”
Zhang Long then formally replied, "Congratulations to you Zhang Lin, you have lived up to the expectations of the empire, you are a hero of the empire, and your name will be recorded in the annals of the empire!" Then Zhang Long looked at the few pompous young masters who had been, and followed Zhang Lin, they also had a share of this huge achievement! At least you can't see the ruffians you once had in them, and it has a heavy impact on their lives!
The sailors of the Second Fleet were treated to the highest standard, it was their glory, and it was the honor they had exchanged for their declarations, and Louis had just had a sleepless night, and they celebrated all night, cheering for the heroes, praying for the dead!
