www.biquge.info When the Liberty spotted the enemy warship, the enemy also spotted the Liberty, and the flag of this fleet stationed in the Storm Strait was a tiger with a black background, which is the White Tiger fleet that is widely spread in the Pirate Alliance!

At this time, the commander of the White Tiger fleet was observing the Liberty with a viewing glass, and his lieutenant was next to him! When the commander of the White Tiger fleet saw the Liberty, he gasped: "I'm not dreaming, right?" ”

The adjutant of the White Tiger Fleet was a little strange when he saw his commander so out of shape for the first time, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, what shocked you so much!" ”

The commander of the White Tiger Fleet gave the scope to his lieutenant: "Look at it! ”

The adjutant walked to the observation mirror and carefully looked at what shocked his commander, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he was even more shocked than the commander of the White Tiger Fleet, and he kept comforting himself in his heart, this is not true!

The commander of the White Tiger fleet patted his adjutant on the shoulder and woke him up from shock: "What do you think? ”

"Sir, I'd rather retreat now if I could!" The adjutant still has no peace in his heart, and the scene in front of him is difficult to calm down at all!

"We can't go, they're just waiting for us to appear, and now we don't have a chance to go at all, we have to fight to the death, let the destroyer go first, and the cruiser waits for the opportunity to harass the enemy, our palace!" This is the only way that the commander of the White Tiger Fleet can think of, look at that battleship, with its own 350 mm main guns, it is impossible to penetrate the opponent's main armor belt at such a distance, and it is difficult to cause devastating damage, and it seems that the caliber of the opponent's naval guns is very large, and it does not take much effort to sink himself, rather than this, otherwise let the destroyer try it with torpedoes, maybe you can reap the unexpected results!

His order was faithfully carried out, and the four destroyers flying the White Tiger flag began to approach the Liberty, while the three heavy cruisers provided fire cover, because the escort battleship of the Liberty was a light cruiser, it could not be compared with the heavy cruiser on the opposite side in terms of the caliber of the main gun and the amount of firepower, but the Hope was the one who changed the battle!

As the battle began, Zhang Lin sent a telegram to the Hope, asking the Hope to block the sailing route of the enemy ship with a torpedo and act at any time!

And the behavior of the destroyers of the White Tiger Fleet is invisible under the high-power detection radar of the Liberty, the speed and concealment they rely on are useless, their movements and sailing routes are clearly observed by the Liberty, but Zhang Lin didn't care about them, these three light cruisers are enough for these destroyers to bother, plus the 155 mm 155 mm 10 Gaoping dual-purpose secondary guns and 10 100 mm Gaoping dual-purpose secondary guns on the side of the Liberty are enough to suppress their firepower, and there is no need to worry that they will get close to release torpedoes!

The range of the 155-mm secondary guns of the Liberty is 20 kilometers, and the range of the 100-mm secondary guns is 15 kilometers.

However, the other party's destroyer behaved very cautiously, and did not rush closer, but cautiously probed, it seems that the commander of the White Tiger fleet is not a reckless person! His greatest hope for a comeback lies in the destroyer's lightning strike tactics, and the destroyer is easily sunk by enemy fire, so he would rather be cautious!

However, Zhang Lin was not willing to wait, the twelve 420 mm main guns of the Liberty were all pointed at the only battleship of the White Tiger Fleet, judging from the observation glass, this battleship was like the New York class, but there were only four twin-mounted main turrets, and its displacement was limited, and its performance was limited by the displacement and it was difficult to pose too much threat to the Liberty!

The two sides were eighteen kilometers apart, and the first salvo of the main guns of the Liberty, the dazzling fire from the giant cannon could be seen from a long distance, and the commander of the White Tiger Fleet saw the Liberty firing the cannon, and immediately ordered the rudder to turn to avoid the shells, but the rudder of the battleship was very slow, and even if it dodged, it was difficult to effectively avoid the incoming shells!

But the first salvo of naval guns was only to provide data services for subsequent naval gun shooting, and did not think that the first shot could achieve an effective hit, the actual combat is different from target shooting, and the sailors of the Liberty used the main gun of the Liberty for the first time against the enemy, there was no long run-in, if it was not for the excellent fire control radar, maybe the shooting effect would be even worse!

When the commander of the White Tiger Fleet saw the main gun firing from the Liberty, he ordered the observation tower to record the splash of the enemy's shells, so as to guess the caliber of the enemy's main gun! He was even mentally ready to be hit! Perhaps his mental preparation was correct, twelve shells landed exactly around this battleship, and one shell hit its hull under water, but did not penetrate, only made it shake! But this also made the commander of the White Tiger fleet very nervous: "Report the location of the damage!" He asked quickly on the communicator!

"Report to the commander, the shell hit the location in the mine protection bulge, it was a water-borne bullet, but it did not penetrate the armor!" The damage management team quickly reported the losses from this shell hit!

Hearing that there was no penetration, the commander of the White Tiger fleet breathed a sigh of relief: "The main artillery group immediately returned fire!" ”

The battleship fired eight 350 mm shells at the Hope, two of which hit the Liberty, but the angle of incidence was less than 30 degrees, and the thickness of the main armor belt armor of the Hope was 420 mm, and it was impossible to penetrate it, from the sound of hitting the hull, Zhang Lin judged that the enemy shell was ricocheting, and then the damage report came up, which was the same as Zhang Lin expected!

In the subsequent three salvos of the main guns of both sides, no effective hits were achieved, and the commander of the White Tiger Fleet was looking at the report sent by the observation tower: "Commander, according to the splashing height of the enemy's shells falling into the water, the caliber of the enemy's main guns is between 400 mm and 420 mm, and the specific caliber cannot be speculated!" After reading it, his brow tightened, but now was not the time to think about this: "Order the destroyer to press down at once and launch a torpedo at a suitable distance!" "Their battleships are far behind the Liberty, and only large-caliber torpedoes can pose a threat to the Liberty, and they need to hit multiple torpedoes!

"Sir, the pirate's destroyers are starting to press up, and now they are fourteen kilometers away from us, do we need to fight back?" Li Li reported the information detected by the radar to Zhang Lin and asked Zhang Lin if he would fight back!

"Don't worry, we'll open fire when the destroyer gets closer, order the three light cruisers to prepare to attack the enemy destroyer, and after receiving the order, be sure to suppress the enemy destroyer!" Zhang Lin knew that the destroyer was too flexible, and only firepower suppression could effectively suppress the destroyer's attack: "Then I'll play with you this time!" ”
