Chapter 101: Full Fire

Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info The Liberty was hit by a torpedo, but it was not as the enemy expected, the hull was flooded, and the battle has been until now, the White Tiger Fleet's assessment of the combat effectiveness of the Liberty has once again risen to a higher level, and after the light cruiser escorting the Liberty was sunk, many sailors escaped, but there was no way to rescue them!

After Zhang Lin saw that all the battleships had left the encirclement of the White Tiger Fleet, he immediately ordered: "All battleships, attack the local formation!" "After the White Tiger Fleet broke through on the Liberty, the formation did not change in time, Zhang Lin seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to assault and hit the White Tiger Fleet by mistake!

Then the Liberty took the lead, and the two light cruisers were behind, and when they saw the Liberty rushing over, the face of the Supreme Commander of the White Tiger Fleet changed: "Change the formation immediately!" "But his orders were somewhat futile, due to the large number of warships, it was difficult to change the formation in a short time, and the fleet was relatively chaotic, although they were all trying to carry out the order, but with little success!

Zhang Lin seized the opportunity and ordered the Liberty to be reckless, all the guns fired at the fastest rate of fire, the three sets of fire control radar devices on the Liberty played a huge role at this time, the secondary guns had a surprisingly high hit rate at close range, and a destroyer of the White Tiger Fleet wanted to get close to the Liberty "Close dog fight?" Zhang Lin knew the destroyer's intentions, but before the destroyer released the torpedo, the secondary gun of the Liberty had already beaten it into a hornet's nest, although the excessive use of the gun would greatly reduce the service life of the gun, but at this stage, no one cared about this!

The Liberty was also constantly hit by enemy shells, but with its heavy armor protection, the enemy's shells could not cause fatal damage to the hull of the Liberty, but instead allowed the Liberty to slaughter here with its high rate of fire secondary guns!

With a loud roar, the main guns of the Liberty opened fire again, and a salvo of the six main guns in front directly sank a light cruiser nine kilometers away from the Liberty, and the large-caliber armor-piercing shells directly tore through the weak side armor of the light cruiser, destroying its important internal compartments, and causing a large number of deaths, the sea water poured into the hull from the opening at the waterline, and the hull of the light cruiser tilted and continued to sink into the ocean!

The remaining two battleships of the White Tiger Fleet also shelled the Liberty with armor-piercing shells, but the Liberty was the bow of the ship against them, several shots, none of the shells ricocheted, as the main guns of the Liberty were reloaded again, a dull roar resounded through the sea, this time the Liberty fired at the flagship of the White Tiger Fleet, fourteen kilometers away from the Liberty, six armor-piercing shells hit four, one of them ricochet, two penetrated, and one pierced!

Due to the angle of fire, the battleship was lucky not to be protected by the armor of the Liberty in the vital parts, but the two piercing armor-piercing shells killed more than 300 sailors and dealt a fatal blow to the White Tiger fleet's flagship communications system!

Taking advantage of the chaos of the White Tiger fleet, the Hope began to rescue the sailors of the light cruiser that was sunk by the enemy according to Zhang Lin's order, even if there was a glimmer of hope, Zhang Lin would not give up!

The flagship of the White Tiger Fleet had a communication failure, so it had to use a lighthouse to signal the fleet to withdraw, but the battle was fierce, only a few battleships received the signal, and the other warships fought separately, and it was difficult to form a strong threat to the Liberty, although the Liberty hull had fires several times, but it had no impact on the combat effectiveness of the Liberty, and the secondary guns desperately sprayed anger at the enemy ships, and after nearly an hour of fighting, six destroyers were sunk by the secondary guns of the Liberty, and a heavy cruiser was seriously injured, and they were evacuated from the battle in a hurry. But the bad luck did not pass for it, the six main guns in the rear of the Liberty fired a salvo, at a medium distance, all hit, two of which hit the No. 2 main turret in front, causing a fire in the ammunition room, although a large number of sailors tried their best to extinguish, but it was difficult to extinguish, and finally the high temperature detonated more than a hundred tons of shells in the ammunition depot, and the heavy cruiser sank!

The supreme commander of the White Tiger Fleet saw the fleet wedding and the battle situation was very unfavorable to him, so he immediately sent a communication to the surrounding warships and ordered the fleet to retreat, and then the White Tiger Fleet began to withdraw from the battle in an orderly manner!

Zhang Lin saw that the White Tiger Fleet wanted to withdraw, and did not give it a chance to go at all, although there was a destroyer cover, and the smoke screen protection was released, but because the Liberty had rushed into the interior of the fleet, all the artillery was firing wildly, and the torpedo launchers on both sides finally came in handy for their real use, close dog fighting, the battleships of the White Tiger Fleet were afraid of hurting friendly troops, and did not dare to release torpedoes at will, but the Liberty had no such scruples, and the projection of a total of twenty torpedoes on both sides at a time let the White Tiger Fleet know what a real war machine is, There are always torpedoes inexplicably attacking, and I thought it was released by friendly forces, but in the end, it wasn't until I was hit by a torpedo that I found out that the culprit was the battleship!

When the supreme commander of the White Tiger Fleet saw this situation, he wanted to scold angrily, your battleship is equipped with twelve 420 mm main guns, forty high rate of fire secondary guns, and four five-pack torpedo launchers, is it still alive?

However, the cruel war will only favor the strong, the assault of the Liberty made the White Tiger Fleet suffer, but the speed of this battleship is too high, it can't get rid of it at all, like a dog skin plaster sticking up, fierce firepower, accurate fire control, almost all the battleships sunk by the White Tiger Fleet are caused by this battleship, but the heavy armor protection of this battleship makes the White Tiger Fleet helpless, and the armor-piercing shells are difficult to penetrate, even if there is a penetration, it is blocked by the armor inside, and it is difficult to cause effective damage at all, Let the Supreme Commander of the White Tiger Fleet be furious!

But the balance of war will not always be in one direction, because the pressure of the boiler of the Liberty has been in a warning position, and finally the engine was overwhelmed and temporarily paralyzed once, giving the White Tiger fleet a chance to evacuate, the Liberty could not maintain a high speed, so that the surviving battleships of the White Tiger Fleet breathed a sigh of relief, and several destroyers wanted to release torpedoes to the Liberty, but they were all taught a lesson by the secondary guns of the Liberty, and ran away in disgrace!

"Ask the engine crew, how's it going?" Zhang Lin asked!

After a while, Li Li took the report of the engine group and handed it to Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin looked down and looked at it carefully, frowning, it seems that some places still need to be improved!

"Sir, what's wrong!" Li Li asked!

"The boiler pressure is too high and the engine load is too high, resulting in an unstable power output, and only 30% of the power output can be maintained temporarily! However, when the boiler pressure stabilizes, the power will be restored! After Zhang Lin finished speaking, he ordered Li Li: "Count the battle damage, and continue to pursue the White Tiger Fleet after recovering the momentum!" ā€
