Chapter Forty-Eight: Chaos is about to arise
Just when Zhang Lin was repairing and replenishing at the Rakichfei harbor, the Battle of the Sidewinder Strait resumed, and the Blue Moon Imperial Navy Miracle attacked the aircraft carrier, and the General escorted the aircraft carrier, accompanied by the Fourth Fleet, to the Sidewinder Sea.

At this time, the big war was about to break out, but the high-level of the Pirate Alliance did not give the real information to the pirates on the front line, and wanted them to be cannon fodder, these pirates did not know that the Blue Moon Empire Navy had come to support, and still thought that the other party would definitely not be able to break through the rattlesnake Strait moat, plus the rattlesnake Strait sea conditions were bad, the wind and waves were strong, and most ships would bypass the Sidewinder Strait, but the Blue Moon Empire had no choice before returning here to attack, but the good luck of these pirates ended here.
At six o'clock in the morning of the third day, when the first rays of sunlight illuminated the Sidewinder Strait, the roar of aircraft was heard from the deck of the USS Miracle, and one group of bombers took off, escorted by the fighters of the aircraft carrier General, flew over the Sidewinder Strait, and then a large number of torpedo bombers took off.
At this time, in addition to sleeping soundly, the pirates were left with only a few intelligence officers lazily leaning on the observation tower to chat, and the piercing air defense siren suddenly sounded, and several pirates were shocked, but after observing a few times, they did not find any hostile situation, and turned off the radar angrily, and continued to talk about how to find the chick to be happy after going back this time.
A large number of bombers have flown over the Sidewinder Strait, when the pirates heard the whirring of the dive bombers, it was too late, there was no anti-aircraft fire, the dive bombers calmly aimed at every enemy ship, dropped bombs, the hit rate was surprisingly high, the sea was red by the dazzling firelight, explosions could be heard everywhere, most of the pirates on the defense were destroyers and cruisers, there were only a few battleships, aerial bombs could almost cause serious damage to these warships with weak protection, There were even several destroyers that were directly blown into two sections and quickly sank into the sea, and the surprise attack of the Blue Moon Empire achieved initial results.
At this time, the pirates reacted, and a large number of personnel began to use anti-aircraft guns to start counterattacking, but the planes of the Blue Moon Empire had already left, and due to a wave of air raids, the battleships in front were bombed, resulting in a large number of damage and failure of anti-aircraft guns, and the air defense capability was greatly reduced.
The surviving pirates have not yet taken a breath, a large number of torpedo bombers appeared at the place where the sky and water meet, as the roar of the aircraft engine became louder and louder, the pirates' tense nerves were finally broken, a large number of people looked hideous, and frantically began to fight back with anti-aircraft fire, but unfortunately their anti-aircraft fire was too weak, plus there was no experience in fighting aircraft, and there were only a handful of planes shot down.
A large number of torpedo bombers dropped torpedoes one after another around the battleship, and even some pilots saw that the pirate's anti-aircraft fire was so unbearable, so they directly and boldly approached the melee battleship and dropped torpedoes at close range.
At this time, the Third Fleet stationed on the other side of the Sidewinder Strait, taking advantage of the fact that the pirates were disabled, broke through the blockade, and began to carry out a surprise attack, after the pirates saw this situation, their hearts had collapsed, and the pirates who had never experienced such a tragic war had no intention of fighting again, and directly raised the white flag and surrendered, since then the Blue Moon Empire's door to the Beiyang Sea has been opened, and the army can drive straight in.
When the news reached the Rakich Seaport, the entire seaport was in an uproar, and almost everyone blamed the Pirate Alliance for not going out to support the pirates in the Sidewinder Strait, which led to this defeat, and the entire Beiyang Sea was almost under the control of the Blue Moon Empire.
In the end, the high-level of the Pirate Alliance did not send someone out to explain the time, no one was responsible for this, Zhang Lin had already understood that the Pirate Alliance wanted to take this opportunity to consume the power of these little pirates, and would definitely not support, and the Pirate Alliance wanted to completely control the northern part of Beiyangzhou, and it must rely on external forces, and the invasion of the Blue Moon Empire gave the Pirate Alliance a great opportunity.
Zhang Lin, who was repairing in the port of Rakich, was not surprised at all when he heard this news, but Zhang Lin was surprised if the pirates did not fail? It is strange to rely on those stragglers to stop a strong Blue Moon Empire Navy, but what Zhang Lin wants is a chaotic opportunity, he has been here for more than a month now, it is time to urge Smith to hurry up and deliver his Montana-class battleship, otherwise the strength is low, survival is a problem, and now is the best time to recruit troops, and you must seize the opportunity.
The Third Fleet of the Blue Moon Empire, which occupied the Rattlesnake Strait, drove straight into it after three days of repair, although there were a small number of pirates to block it along the way, but they were easily eliminated by the Third Fleet, and for a while, the officers and soldiers of the Third Fleet began to be proud, thinking that pirates were like this and vulnerable!
On the fifth day, several more pirate destroyers appeared, and the ships of the Third Fleet, even ignoring the formation of the fleet, began to rush forward to destroy the pirates, and the commander of the Third Fleet did not stop this, he looked down on these pirates who fought in an undisciplined manner, and let his subordinates take credit.
However, these pirate destroyers did not rush up and start an artillery battle like the previous ships, and finally ended miserably, but pulled away the smoke and began to release torpedoes frantically, not fighting hard with the Third Fleet, and after the torpedoes were released, they fled directly, and did not count the results at all.
As a result, the vanguard of the Third Fleet was unlucky, the fastest cruiser was hit by a torpedo before it could understand what was going on, and then a large number of torpedoes appeared in this sea area, and the cruiser was directly sunk, and the ships behind found that the situation was very bad and began to evade, but there were still several ships that were affected and seriously damaged, and the Third Fleet suffered a big loss because of carelessness.
Then the commander of the Third Fleet was completely angry, and ordered to no longer accept the surrender of the pirates, and sank them directly after encountering them, but in the following encounters, the pirates only attacked from afar, and did not fight head-on with the Third Fleet at all.
