Chapter 120: Attack

www.biquge.info The Reims Empire command received a distress signal from the battlecruiser Reagan, and immediately ordered a fleet to rescue, although everyone understands that this may be a trap for the Morgan Empire and the Aslan Empire, but the Reims Empire has to rescue its own fleet, because the Reims Empire can't afford to lose any warships!

Six fleets, after the change and integration, there are only three fleets left, not including the fourth fleet stationed in other seas, of course, as an old naval power, the naval strength of the Reims Empire is still obvious to all, this time in order to rescue the Reagan battlecruiser, dispatched the only three aircraft carriers in the country, the Galaxy as a large main battle aircraft carrier, with a displacement of 40,000 tons, hangar capacity of seventy-eight aircraft, the remaining two aircraft carriers as escort aircraft carriers to attack together, this time a total of sixteen warships sailed, Three aircraft carriers, two battleships, seven destroyers and four anti-aircraft cruisers, in fact, the Reims Empire thought that since you dispatched the battleship, then I would sink your battleship, at least it could delay the offensive of the Aslan Empire and the Morgan Empire, and when I breathed a sigh of relief, you would not be my opponent!

But the intelligence of the main force of the fleet of the Reims Empire was quickly intercepted by the Aslan Empire and the Morgan Empire, which made the upper echelons of the two countries happy, after all, you are huddled in the harbor, you can protect the main force of the fleet, we can only blockade you, it takes too long to defeat you, and there are too many accidents, and now you have come out, it will be easy to do, the main force of the fleet will fight a decisive battle, and the victory will be determined in one battle!

Not long after the main fleet of the Reims Empire was dispatched, the Aslan Empire and the Morgan Empire jointly dispatched a fleet, a total of thirty warships, six battleships, two aircraft carriers, three battle cruisers, five heavy cruisers, three light cruisers and eleven destroyers, which were twice as many as the Reims Empire in terms of strength, but the aircraft carriers of these two countries did not have the strength of the Reims Empire, only two medium-sized aircraft carriers, each aircraft carrier hangar capacity of forty aircraft, the advantage of the Reims Empire was the aircraft carrier!

Both sides are hurrying to the battlefield, after all, whoever arrives at the battlefield first will be able to take the initiative, but the Reims Empire is relatively close to the battlefield and can arrive in advance, and the Aslan Empire and the Morgan Empire have an advantage in strength!

At the headquarters of the Reims Empire, the news of the troops sent by the Aslan Empire and the Morgan Empire was transmitted back by the spies, and the command was in chaos, and the officers of the Reagan family and the Edward family thought that they should evacuate in time to avoid being annihilated by the enemy, after all, there was a huge gap in the strength of the two fleets, while the other officers were the main battle, thinking that once evacuated, the patrol fleet would definitely be wiped out, and the strength of the Reims Empire's navy would be exhausted little by little. Not only can you save your own battleship, but also can inflict heavy damage on the enemy's fleet, and buy the most precious time for the Reims Empire, maybe the tide of the battle will change because of this, and finally Wilhelm II will take the advice of the main battle faction and give it a go, success or failure in one fell swoop!

When the aircraft carrier Galaxy was seventy kilometers away from the battlefield, the torpedo bombers had been maintained, three elevators transported the planes to the deck in the hangar, a large number of planes began to take off, and the fighters of the two escort aircraft carriers had already risen into the air, circling around the fleet, ready to go to the battlefield, surrounded by the roar of aircraft engines, one after another planes took off on the aircraft carrier, ready to support the battlecruiser Reagan!

At this time, Edward Moqi was already desperate, although he received a telegram from the high command and knew that a fleet had been sent, but the Reagan battlecruiser had been shot in many places, although her main gun also hit the opponent's battleship several times, but it did not cause serious damage, but the Reagan was different, due to the weakness of the armor protection, several hits caused serious damage, and at present, the Reagan battlecruiser can only maintain half of the power output, and the waterline at the stern has been broken down, and the hull is flooded, The rudder turning efficiency also decreased a lot, causing the battlecruiser Reagan to change course to avoid shells a lot down, and almost became a live target on the sea!

"Commander, there's a telegram from the aircraft carrier Galaxy!" The adjutant took the telegram and wanted Edward Moki to report!

At this time, Edward Moqi was distraught, and he didn't care about this at all, and waved his hand to the adjutant and said, "Read! ”

"Attention Reagan, my fleet has taken off, hold on for fifteen minutes, and support will arrive later!" After the adjutant read the telegram, Edward Moqi immediately ran over from the map, snatched the telegram from the adjutant's hand, looked at it carefully, and laughed after reading it: "Heaven will not kill me!" ”

Then Edward Moqi began to command the fleet to cross-cover the Reagan battle cruiser, and until now, the patrol fleet of the Reims Empire has sunk a light cruiser and three destroyers, on the other hand, the fleet of the Aslan Empire is just an unlucky destroyer that hit a torpedo and sank, and the rest of the ships were only slightly injured, which shows how badly Edward Moqi commanded!

However, as soon as he thought of the reinforcement about to arrive, Edward Moqi thought of commanding the fleet, but the current situation is very unfavorable to the Reims Empire, the two battleships of the Aslan Empire are now full of staring at the Reagan battlecruiser, after all, once the Reagan battlecruiser is sunk, the rest of the battleships will have no threat, and it is only a matter of time before they are destroyed!

Subsequently, the two battleships launched a fierce shelling of the Reagan battlecruiser at a distance of eighteen kilometers, although the Reagan had tried its best to avoid the shells, but due to the loss of power and the reduction of the efficiency of the steering gear, it would be hit by a 380 mm armor-piercing shell in almost three salvos, but fortunately the shells did not hit the hull around the waterline, they all ran through the superstructure, although there was no explosion, but the superstructure of the Reagan battlecruiser had been beaten into a hornet's nest, Two of the three fire control radars were damaged, the rear detection radar was destroyed, fifteen of the twenty secondary guns were destroyed, the anti-aircraft artillery crew was completely destroyed, except for the conning tower, the sailors in the superstructure were almost killed and wounded, and even if they were lucky enough to survive, the complete overhaul of the battlecruiser Reagan was certain, and perhaps it would be dismantled because of the high difficulty of repair!

But these are not what Edward Moqi is thinking about now, he only has one idea, that is, how to survive the crazy fire of the two battleships, maybe it is the favor of God, the Reagan and other air fleets to support!

On the battleships of the Yaslan Imperial Patrol Fleet, the air detection radar was densely covered with red dots: "Sir, the Reims Imperial Air fleet has been discovered, which is only twenty-five kilometers away from us, and it is expected that the fleet will be attacked by aviation in three minutes!" ”

"It's too late to release the smoke screen protection now, pass on my order, the fleet anti-aircraft artillery group is on full alert and ready to deal with air attacks!"

"Main artillery group, continue to attack the battlecruiser Reagan, she can't reduce her holdings for long, let's send her to the bottom of the sea as soon as possible, and quickly evacuate the battle!" With the order of the commander of the Aslan Imperial patrol fleet, the battlecruiser Reagan was covered by fire, and almost all the warships of the Aslan Imperial patrol fleet aimed their main guns at her, and a large number of shells began to fall into the water around his hull, this scene frightened Edward Moqi, and the enemy wanted to sink him at any cost!

The two-minute wait was almost like a year for Edward Moki, but Lady Luck would not always favor him, and unfortunately, a 380 mm armor-piercing shell hit the engine of the battlecruiser Reagan, completely paralyzing her power system!

"Sir, the turbine has completely lost power, the power is about to be interrupted, the spare motor will be activated in a minute, the damaged pipe is rescuing the turbine, and it can be repaired in thirty minutes!" The news from the communicator almost sentenced Edward Moqi to death, and he lost motivation at this critical juncture, and he didn't need to think about it!

But the enemy's firepower suddenly stopped, it turned out that the air fleet was coming, the enemy warships were changing formation, it can be seen that the air defense artillery group of the Yaslan Empire patrol fleet was on alert, with their commander's life order, the air defense artillery group began to spray fire dragons, a large number of anti-air three-phase bombs began to attack the planes of the Reims Empire, and the bombers of the Reims Empire flew over the patrol fleet of the Aslan Empire, the pilot pressed the button in his hand, and one by one the aerial bombs fell quickly on the plane, and the bombs fell into the water, The waves stirred up by the explosion frightened the sailors of the Yaslan Empire's patrol fleet, and the waves of more than 100 meters reminded them that the charge of no aerial bomb was amazing, and once it was hit, the consequences would be unimaginable!

A battleship of the Yaslan Empire's patrol fleet was hit by two aerial bombs, a huge fireball rose on the hull, all kinds of broken superstructures on the bridge were flying sideways, a large number of anti-aircraft artillery groups were destroyed, a large number of sailors died, and not a single anti-aircraft gun fired for a while!

The explosion of the bomb also caused a fire, and the damage was incalculable for a while! However, the damage management report was still counted in the shortest possible time, and it was reported to the captain's office: "Sir, the bridge is seriously damaged, half of the anti-aircraft fire has been lost, and the deck fire is serious and difficult to control!" This damage management report seemed to give the battleship a death sentence, a large number of bombers began to drop aerial bombs on the battleship, and the torpedo bombers who came later took advantage of the gap in the enemy's anti-aircraft fire, immediately approached and dropped the next torpedoes, ready to sink the battleship completely!

This battleship was very unlucky, but with her displacement of 40,000 tons, it was still difficult to sink her with a few torpedoes, after all, the anti-sinking resistance of the battleship was very good, although the hull was seriously damaged underwater, the anti-mine armor was penetrated, and it began to enter the water, but the damaged sailors decisively sealed the hatch of the watertight compartment and saved the battleship!

Then the battleship's eight 380-mm guns were aimed at the battlecruiser Reagan, and with this salvo, eight armor-piercing projectiles flew off the Reagan, which was completely out of power!
