The actions of the destroyer on the bearded side were clearly seen by Zhang Lin, Zhang Lin smiled and said, "Just wait for you to come, I can't help you if you don't come, since you come, don't go back, pass my order, now order the secondary gun to shoot the enemy destroyer with high-explosive shells, be sure to sink it before it releases the torpedo!" ”

With the secondary guns of the Edward Battleship ready, the battlecruiser Reagan also cooperated with the Edward to suppress the destroyer's firepower!

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Edward's 150 mm 54 times the caliber ratio of the rapid-fire secondary gun fired wildly at the destroyer, the Reagan was not to be outdone, in an instant, the poor destroyer was drowned by the waves stirred up by the shells, although it was not hit in a salvo of secondary guns, but as the distance closed, it was a matter of time before it was hit, and with the poor 16 mm armor protection of this destroyer, it was not much different from nothing, once hit, his own ship was likely to be sunk, and it was not yet the best position to release the torpedo, When the destroyer was about to adjust its course again, a 150 mm shell from the USS Edward hit the stern of the ship, rendering its rudder useless, and then a 208 mm high-explosive shell from the heavy cruiser Morgan instantly tore through the destroyer's hull, and the turbulent sea water poured into it, and the destroyer's damage management mechanism could not prevent the fate of its own battleship being sunk, and in just a few minutes, the destroyer was swallowed by the raging waves!

The bearded man saw that his destroyer was sunk, and his face became extremely ugly in an instant, he lost the hope of turning the tables, and the desperate bearded man was ready to fight to the death and sink one of the opponent's cruisers, but after the bearded man saw the actions of the opposite battleship, he wanted to scold his mother angrily, only to see the opponent's two cruisers and the battlecruiser began to retreat at full speed, and the battleship that was obviously larger than himself was heading towards him, and he only had two battleships left, and the cruiser had been beaten and scarred, Their own battleship was also hit three times by 208-mm armor-piercing shells on the opposite side, although they did not cause major damage, but their own sailors were killed by shells dozens of people.

Zhang Lin smiled at the bearded battleship, "We want to kill the other side with zero losses!" With his battleship, it is impossible to penetrate our armor, the caliber of his main guns is not as thick as our armor, in order to avoid us being damaged by shells penetrating from above, we close the distance, we can only let the main guns of both sides fire flat, so that we will not have too many casualties, pass my order, approach the enemy ship at full speed, the main guns are aimed at the enemy cruiser, one salvo, I will sink it! As Zhang Lin's order was issued, the sailors began to carry out the order in an orderly manner, "Bang! "With a salvo of main guns, the scarred light cruiser finally went from crumbling to sinking, and the 406-mm armor-piercing projectile exploded a huge hole in its bottom, and soon turned its belly up like a dead fish and sank into the ocean!

The remaining bearded battleships, Zhang Lin ordered that in addition to the armor-piercing shells used by the Reagan battlecruiser, the two cruisers used high-explosive shells to cause the enemy battleship to catch fire as much as possible

"Position No. 4 has been broken down, a large amount of water has entered, and the hatch has been closed!"

"The second main turret has been destroyed!"

"The boiler compartment No. 1 was hit, it lost its effect, and the power dropped!"

"Three secondary guns on the port side were destroyed!"

The bearded man didn't hear a single briefing, and the pressure in his heart was greater, and his main guns attacked the battleship on the opposite side without being able to penetrate its main armor belt, either ricocheting or shattering! Unable to cause serious damage at all, suddenly his hull shook violently, and then the hull tilted to the right, with an amplitude of sixteen degrees, causing the main and secondary guns of his battleship to be unable to fire, and then the battle damage was reported "The main armor belt on the starboard side was penetrated by eight rounds of enemy 406 caliber armor-piercing shells, and a large number of fractures were caused by the waterline, and a large amount of seawater poured in, and the damage pipe was uncontrollable!" The bearded man had no choice but to give the order to abandon the ship, and with the bearded man's order, the whole rabble began to flee in a panic, and the whole ship was in a mess, each taking care of its own affairs, and every escape boat was crowded with people, and even some escape boats were overturned!

"Pass my order, all the warships surround the pirates who fled on the opposite side, and they must not let go of a single person!" Zhang Lin looked at the slowly sinking battleship opposite, and a sentence suddenly popped up in his heart: "Sink the enemy battleship!" Randomly shook his head and smiled, and said to the dispatcher next to him, "Order a ship to report the battle damage to me!" ”

"Chief Reagan reported that three armor-piercing shells were hit, but they did not penetrate the vital point, and nine high-explosive shells were hit, causing a fire on the foredeck of the ship, and the whole ship suffered sixty-four casualties! The Morgan reported that the whole ship was hit by two armor-piercing shells, one hit the No. 2 engine, the power dropped by 25 percent, and there were 112 casualties, and the Yamashiro reported that the whole ship was hit with 16 high-explosive shells, and there was no major damage to the hull, but the appearance was destroyed, and the whole ship suffered 17 casualties, and our ship was hit with 37 armor-piercing shells, none of which penetrated, and the appearance of the whole ship was slightly damaged, and there were 6 casualties! ”

Zhang Lin listened to the battle damage, his brows furrowed, war is the endorsement of death, although he tried his best to command, but still caused one hundred and ninety-nine casualties, but for my results, it is already considerable, the Black Wind Pirate Gang that has been entrenched in this nearly ten years has been exterminated, and all the prisoners have been caught, it is time for me to send a telegram to the Commander's Department to inform me of the results!

"Drafting a telegram, Zhang Lin led the fleet to eliminate the Black Wind Pirate Regiment, sank a battleship, two light cruisers, and one destroyer, and captured 637 pirates, of which the Morgan was hit by the engine, causing a 25 percent drop in power, and the rest of the ships were not seriously damaged, and now the fleet is starting to return!"

"In addition, send a message to the Glory and the Dawn, and ask them to wait for the fleet to converge and return together at coordinates XX, XX!"

Zhang Lin led the fleet towards the harbor in the south of the empire, the quicksand port, which was the home port for his fleet supply and the only deep-water port that could park a huge battleship like the Edward, and now he returned to his home port with honor!

"Report to the chief, the chief's department is calling!"

"Read!"

"Yes, Zhang Lin led his troops to defeat the Black Wind Pirate Regiment, the casualties were quite small, and the combat achievements were outstanding, so he was specially promoted to colonel and awarded the title of first-class baron, and the captains of the other ships were upgraded by one rank, and the salaries of the soldiers on each ship were increased by one class! Awarded the USS Edward the Order of the Imperial Warrior. Order of Commendation from the Supreme Governor's Department of the Empire, July 22 of the first year of the Empire! ”
