Chapter 674: The Pirates Are Destroyed

Warships, only warships can deal with, this is a thing that everyone recognizes, the pirate's ironclad ships dare to rush up directly, not the bandit leaders of these pirates, willing to take their lives to joke, the key factor is that the protection of the ironclad ship is strong, can become the four major pirates, really thanks to these ironclad ships, can almost ignore the vast majority of artillery fire, in the face of hundreds of ship groups, they have enough confidence, compared with civilian ships, even if it is an old warship 30 years ago, he is also a warship, isn't it, Far from being able to deal with civilian ships and artillery.

If these pirates knew that Yang Yuanzhao actually got the big killer weapon, the 203 mm turret, to a cargo ship, they wouldn't have said so, 155 artillery, in the army, can be called heavy artillery, even in European armies, it can also be called division-level, or even army-level support firepower, but on the battleship, it is just a 6-inch gun, as early as 20 years ago in the era of the Sino-Japanese War, it can't be regarded as the main gun, not to mention now, the 203 gun is enough to penetrate his armor at close range.

It's not that the pirates haven't considered the German destroyers, they have been thinking about the destroyers before, but after the battle reached this point, especially when a large number of pirate ships were sunk, the appearance of machine guns made the pirates hesitate, and then they came out of the crowd and prepared to directly attack the ship group, because from the beginning of their attack, the Germans did not appear, but they did not expect that at this critical moment, when their main force was about to crush the opponent's ship group, the Germans were silent. It's already rushing up, and it's so close.

No matter how arrogant the pirates were, they didn't dare to confront the warships head-on. Even if the battleship on the opposite side is only more than 1,000 tons, almost half smaller than them, what they have under their feet is not a real 3,000-ton cruiser, it is an old battleship that has been built for more than 30 years, most of the things have been dismantled, leaving only protection and power plants, and even the firepower is still the ship they replaced with the army's 150. It can only exert about 40% of its original strength, even if it is 100%. In the face of a 30-year generation gap, it is definitely not an opponent against the opponent's cutting-edge warship.

The appearance of German destroyers made it possible to observe the situation of the war. Charlie, who was extremely excited, was taken aback, he almost subconsciously felt that this was a war between pirates and Chinese, and other countries should not intervene, so he was furious and directly asked the captain of the destroyer to block the German battleship.

But as soon as the order was given, he saw the captain of the destroyer, looking at him as if he were a fool. His eyes were very strange, and he didn't say a word, let alone carry out his orders.

Let's not talk about the present. The entire fleet of the Germans and the British was blocked by the ship group, and the British were left behind by the ship group, and the flotilla was more than several kilometers thick, and went around, at least more than 20 nautical miles. It takes about 30 minutes to get around, and after that. The pirates have long been solved by the Germans, a few dilapidated battleships from 30 years ago, so likely to resist the strength of the new destroyer, not to mention that the other party only uses artillery, once the torpedo is directly used, this is a big killer against the ship, at most a few rounds, the ironclad ship will all sink, to save a doomed to sink, this is not a wise man's doing.

Besides, now there are only 6 ships left in the UK, 6 against 5 ships, on the surface it looks similar, in terms of the combat effectiveness of a single ship, Germany's is still above the UK, and Germany's launching time is generally a little later than that of the UK, less than 2 years, more than 5 years, and the changes in combat effectiveness brought about are all-round, and they may not be opponents if they really want to fight.

These are the most secondary, the key is diplomacy, Britain and Germany are full of contradictions, but at this time, whether it is naval or diplomatic, the basic attitude towards the German army, or to maintain restraint, in the case that the other side is not too excessive, can not be lightly provoked, at the moment Germany and Britain are hired to protect the ship group, privately looking for pirates is privately looking, once Britain goes into battle shirtless, can they afford to cause a huge price of friction between the two sides.

Seeing that the destroyer did not move, Charlie was about to get angry, but suddenly, he seemed to think of something, his face turned pale, he shrank slightly and hid to the side without speaking, and the destroyer captain who was holding a telescope to look at the situation of the pirates, sighed and said: "These pirates are finished!" ”

At this time, the pirates' first thought was to run, this is quite harmonious and unified, scattered and fled, but unfortunately their speed, a little late, the destroyer has come to a high speed of about 2 kilometers close, several torpedo tubes almost at the same time, showing a fan launch, each of which has almost 6 torpedoes, adding up to 30, with a 15-degree fan, evenly launched, each torpedo even if it is 2 kilometers away, the distance between each other, will not exceed 300 meters, that is, It is almost impossible for these ships in front to dodge this torpedo, and they are in a position that is sidechord, that is, the position of the hull against the destroyer.

The speed of the torpedo is much faster than that of the battleship, at this time it is too late to turn around, you can only go as fast as possible, looking forward to the arrival of luck, and in the end God and his old man, there is no effort to care about them, 30 torpedoes, and finally hit 17, in a distance of about 2 kilometers, dealing with the old battleships that are side-chorded and slow, the hit rate is of course extremely high, and there are several so-called capital ships that have been affected, powerful 475 mm torpedoes, directly let these sunken battleships sink, 4 big pirates, At this moment, almost the entire army was wiped out.

After killing these main forces, Andrei didn't have much interest in the follow-up ships, for him, it was just the icing on the cake, the destroyers carried limited ammunition, and they couldn't support high-intensity battles at all, and they were already worthy of the northwest to kill them, and the rest, let them go.

The destroyer's high-speed retreat, which made the pirates and Yang Yuanzhao's side, invariably relieved, if the destroyer kills all sides, I'm afraid that next, Xiao Jianfeng's ship may not be able to keep it, he is among the capital ships, it is a little behind, and it is also the first to get Yang Yuanzhao's reminder, there is a destroyer coming, and it is not necessary to get ahead, but the destroyer continues to fight, it is not necessarily, and there is no radio, and it cannot be shown that there is an undercover agent there, if he is really injured by mistake, I am afraid that Yang Yuanzhao will not cry if he cries.

The capital ship with the greatest threat was knocked out, and there were 50 high-speed ships left, and Yang Yuanzhao would not let it go, all of them were high-level pirates, or die-hard hardcores, if these were not killed, the work of co-opting pirates would not be able to continue.

Without the threat of high-speed ironclad ships, the ships here quickly divided into more than 30 ships, all of which were high-speed cargo ships with a speed of more than 17 knots, and some places were simply reinforced, and they were also armed merchant ships with artillery. Towards the so-called capital ships within 1.5 kilometers of the swoop, torpedoed in a hurry, scattered pirate capital ships, encountered the momentum of the armed merchant ships, was immediately beaten, later statistics, the core of the pirate more than 50 warships, a total of 37 were sunk, the rest of all wounded prisoners, the shock of the entire Southeast Asia, even active in East Asia, part of the North Pacific pirate leaders, almost all were taken.

Among them, Xiao Jianfeng's ship with a unique flag is the only one that escaped from all the capital ships, he relied on high speed, escaped the battle circle, and has been wandering around the periphery, and those high-speed ships and hundreds of ships supporting behind, rushed up, wreaked havoc among the pirates, sank those that seemed to have a larger tonnage, more fierce firepower, the whole slaughter and pursuit lasted for three hours, before the curtain gradually came to an end, this piece of ocean, can be said to be a mess, screams and blood, It almost turned this place into a Shura field.

So far, this time between the ship group and the pirates, the most violent collision, finally came to an end, of course, the ship group won a complete victory, a total of 732 pirate ships were sunk, 609 ships were damaged, almost the entire sea was plowed again, the loss of pirates is not known, at least more than thirty percent, that is tens of thousands of people, as for themselves, four ships sank, and more than 20 ships were injured of different sizes, and almost 180 people died.

More than 180 and tens of thousands, it seems that the difference is huge, but this also represents the difference between advanced and backward at sea, that is, most of the ships are civilian ships, if you get a battleship, no, the general 4000-ton protective cruiser is the same grade as the Haiqi, just like Changshan Zhao Zilong, it is no problem to kill more than ten times in the pirates.

The naval battle is finally over, the ship group turned around and left after 3 hours, in fact, the main force left as early as 2 hours ago, the rest is just to clean up the battlefield, when everyone is sure to leave, a radio wave through the void, and finally received by Xiao Jianfeng, the radio wave is very simple, order Xiao Jianfeng's next task is to collect the pirates as much as possible, and then develop in Southeast Asia, select the tiger suitable from the middle, and have the opportunity to send it back to China in batches.

Xiao Jianfeng's eyes lit up, and he finally understood why Yang Yuanzhao would give that strange order, as a personal guard, Xiao Jianfeng knew a lot of things, including the cooperation between Germany and the Northwest to help the Northwest realize the strength of battleship construction, the purpose of developing the navy in the Northwest is already beyond words, and relying on the remaining navy of China now, it is simply impossible to support such a big stall, so it is the best choice to choose some Chinese with good conduct and misguided among the pirates, and now, the pirates have been hit hard, and the dragons are leaderless, It was his chance to be active.

In the first time that the Northwest Ship Regiment left, Xiao Jianfeng and the Black Mountain Pirate Regiment returned to the same place and began to treat the pirates, first of all, they were similar, or lost their leader, the Chinese pirates, and the rest were pirates from some other countries, so far the four pirates and most of the pirates across Southeast Asia have disappeared, and in their place, there is a mysterious Black Mountain pirate, at this time, in the eyes of the vast majority of countries in the world, this is still a small force that can't help but be weak, who knows, just over half a year later, He will become a powerful pirate group.
