In the command tower of the Freedom www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion, Zhang Lin tapped the table rhythmically, closed his eyes and rested: "Sir, the battle report has been counted, please take a look!" Li Li took out a statistical sheet and put it on the table!

"The Liberty lost one hundred and thirty people, two hundred and twenty-nine seriously wounded, three hundred and fifty-five lightly wounded, the superstructure was badly damaged, and two 100-mm secondary guns were destroyed! The appearance of the hull is seriously damaged! A light cruiser sank, 781 people were killed, only 120 were rescued, and another 76 were missing! The rest of the ships suffered seventy-nine casualties! After reading it, Zhang Lin felt very heartbroken, but this is also a helpless choice, war is accompanied by fire and chaos, and no one can avoid it!

"Sir, Chief Engineer report, Liberty power restored!"

"Prepare to go full speed ahead and pursue the White Tiger Fleet!" After Zhang Lin gave the order, he asked the correspondent: "Where are the other three destroyers?" ”

"Sir, the destroyers report that they have been tracking the White Tiger Fleet, and they are currently seventeen kilometers away from the right flank of the White Tiger Fleet, and the White Tiger Fleet is going all the way south, and it is currently thirty-five kilometers away from us!" The correspondent reports!

"All the way south?" Zhang Lin quickly watched the route of the White Tiger fleet on the map: "I still want to run when I come, it's not so easy, notify the fleet to pursue at full speed, order the expulsion fleet, and use torpedoes to interfere with the enemy's route!" ”

"Sir, according to our speed, it only takes an hour and a half for us to completely catch up with the White Tiger fleet, and now our fire control radar is still locked on them, and they are still within the range of the main gun of the USS Liberty!" Li Li reported the collected data to Zhang Lin, and at present, the White Tiger Fleet has not yet left the range of the main guns of the Freedom!

After Zhang Lin listened, he immediately ordered: "Order the main gun to assemble and fill the ammunition, and the propellant package to fill six!" Thirty seconds later, the main cannon fired a salvo! ”

"The main gun crew is ready!" The voice of the chief gun of the main gun was heard from the communicator!

"Fire!"

As the twelve 420-mm main guns of the Liberty fired, the twelve armor-piercing shells roared away at a speed of 820 meters, and under the precise control of the fire control radar, they headed towards a battleship of the White Tiger Fleet!

The Supreme Commander of the White Tiger Fleet is sending a telegram to the headquarters of the Pirate Alliance at this time!

"Draft a telegram and send it to the top of the Alliance!"

"The White Tiger Fleet was in the stormy sea, encountered the enemy, and after six hours of fierce fighting, suffered heavy losses, withdrew from the battle, sixteen destroyers were sunk, one heavy cruiser was sunk, one was seriously damaged, one light cruiser was sunk, two were slightly damaged, one battleship was sunk, one enemy light cruiser was sunk, and the battleship was damaged!" The Supreme Commander of the White Tiger Fleet paused, and was about to continue! Suddenly there was an explosion, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the situation?" ”

"Commander, the battleship next to us was attacked, was hit on the deck by two shells, exploded inside the hull, the current situation is unknown!" The correspondent said!

"Ask about the damage!" After speaking, the Supreme Commander of the White Tiger Fleet continued to ask, "Who attacked us?" ”

"Commander, it's the battleship just now, we haven't gotten out of her range yet, judging from radar observations, the enemy is rapidly approaching us, and we are expected to encounter it in an hour!" The radarman looked at the supreme commander of the White Tiger Fleet with a gloomy face and said cautiously!

"There is still an hour, the enemy is coming really fast, how many kilometers are we still from now?" The Supreme Commander of the White Tiger Fleet asked again!

"We're still thirty kilometers away!"

"Order the destroyers in the rear, release the smoke screen, interfere with the enemy's line of sight, and also order the fleet to speed up and get out of here!" The Supreme Commander of the White Tiger Fleet was a little depressed, he didn't expect the Liberty to troubleshoot in such a quick time and catch up!

The Liberty maintained a steady speed of thirty knots, chasing the White Tiger Fleet, with Zhang Lin's order, the six 420 mm main guns in front of it fired again, because it was the maximum loading shot, in order to protect the barrel of the main gun, Zhang Lin ordered the main gun to fire a salvo a minute, under the accurate control of the fire control radar, the main gun hit rate of the Liberty was surprisingly high, at a distance of 30 kilometers, three salvos, three effective hits, it was already very good!

"Commander, we should immediately come up with countermeasures, the enemy is getting closer and closer to us, currently only twenty-four kilometers away from us, we have been passively beaten, and it is unacceptable to lose losses like this!" The combat staff of the White Tiger Fleet can't sit still, they will definitely be severely punished when they return to the alliance, and if the losses continue to expand, maybe their lives will not be guaranteed!

"Why is there a smoke screen to protect the enemy's main gun with such a high hit rate?" The Supreme Commander of the White Tiger Fleet was a little strange: "Does the Alliance have any information?" ”

"Report to the Commander, no information has been received from the Alliance at this time!"

"Commander, that battleship is equipped with the most advanced fire control radar, if it weren't for this, the hit rate of the main guns would not be so high!"

"How many fire control radars do you think it would take to shoot so accurately?" The Supreme Commander of the White Tiger Fleet asked!

"It takes three radars to be so accurate, our ship's fire control radar is not as good as the enemy's, several main gun shots, the shells are spread too large to hit, the enemy's speed is faster than ours, it is expected to catch up with us in less than forty minutes!" After hearing this, the supreme commander of the White Tiger fleet immediately came to the radar: "It turned out that it was only twenty kilometers away from us!" ”

"Commander, fifteen kilometers to the right, three enemy destroyers have been spotted!" The observation tower, the flagship of the White Tiger fleet, spotted three destroyers and immediately reported them to the conning tower!

Just as the White Tiger Fleet was fleeing at full speed, the destroyer in front sent a report: "Commander, a large number of torpedoes have been found on the right side of the fleet, the number is unknown, it is recommended to avoid it immediately!" ”

Hearing this news, the supreme commander of the White Tiger Fleet slammed the table: "It seems that these destroyers have been eyeing us for a long time, order the fleet, turn the bow of the ship, and prepare to avoid torpedoes!" ”

The detection radar of the Liberty showed that the White Tiger Fleet suddenly changed course, although there were a large number of smoke screens that could not be directly observed, but Zhang Lin understood very well that the enemy had encountered a torpedo attack by the destroyer fleet, and it seemed that the torpedo had been discovered, but it didn't matter, Zhang Lin's purpose was to slow down the enemy's navigation route, not to let the torpedo sink the enemy ship, the purpose had been achieved!

"Commander, the destroyer fleet reports that the shipboard torpedoes are depleted!" Zhang Lin knew that destroyers carry out many tasks, have a lot of equipment on board, have a small displacement, and cannot carry a large number of weapons and ammunition.

"Order the ships to prepare for battle, and this time we will let the Pirate Alliance know that it hurts!" After Zhang Lin finished ordering, the main guns of each ship began to adjust the angle, and the battle was about to break out!
