136 duels
"Keep your distance! Don't let the opposing destroyers get too close, first echelon, salvo! β
Missouri stood in the center of the fleet, looking at the deep-sea base in the distance.
The deep-sea base wrapped in a wall is like a long-dormant giant beast at this time, slowly showing its fangs.
After the salvo attack, the response of the deep sea fleet was very fast, and in just five minutes, dozens of light points had already appeared on the originally empty radar, each of which represented the awakened deep sea ship mother, who would use their weapons to "entertain" any creature that intruded into their domain.
"It's coming," Missouri had just finished speaking, and a spot of light that was almost three times the size of the other spots appeared on the radar.
"The special ship code comparison has been executed, the execution is complete, the enemy ship has been identified, code: D.Yamato"
"Hahahahaha, today is really a good day, you guys actually took the initiative to send it to the door, do you want to enjoy the taste of death in advance?"
"I've been knocked on by you, and after a long time, it's a little uncomfortable after all, so I want you to taste this taste today" Missouri didn't plan to talk to D.Yamato anymore, if he couldn't put enough pressure on the deep sea in the front, then Yu Xing and the others would face more enemies.
"The second and third echelons, according to the plan, began shelling, and the fourth echelon began to carry out the bombing"
With the order, the huge fleet instantly divided into three parts, respectively, to block the enemy that appeared, and the destroyers scattered one after another and began to search for the opponent's underwater forces.
Gunpowder and steel, the two play a magnificent music, a music that symbolizes death.
More and more red dots began to appear on the radar, and the number was already close to that of the First Fleet led by Missouri, but Missouri knew that this was not enough, "the fleet is pressing, we are running out of time"
Ten minutes had passed, and the number of deep seas had not reached expectations, and only when D. Yamato felt the pressure would she mobilize more ships to defend.
As the fleet pressed forward, the density and accuracy of the opponent's firepower also began to increase, and the damage report In the twelfth minute, Missouri received the first damage report, a destroyer on an anti-submarine mission was hit by an aerial bomb at close range, but fortunately still retained the ability to sail, and has now retreated to the rear of the fleet under the cover of his companions.
Fifteen minutes have passed since the first round of shelling, and the deep-sea ships that have gathered have reached 1.5 times that of the First Fleet, and soon, the second and third injured ships have also begun to appear, and the firepower in the deep sea is more fierce than Missouri expected, and there are more and more ships who have retreated from the front line for repair, and many of them are the results of D. Yamato.
'It can't go on like this,' Missouri looked at D. Murphy not far away. Yamato, as the fleet advanced, the two sides could already clearly see each other, D. Yamato noticed Missouri's gaze, provocatively turned all the barrels of the gun to Missouri, his lips moved slightly, and then with another salvo from D. Yamato, the damage of a battleship girl reached the warning line, and began to retreat under the cover of the aviation unit, losing the firepower of a battleship girl, making the front line even more precarious.
"Wales, you're in charge of the rest of the command"
"You're going to fight her on your own?"
"I have to do this, or the plan will fail" Missouri knew she didn't have a second choice, and even if she had, she wouldn't choose.
"I understand" Wales didn't say anything more, this companion from across the ocean has already shown his determination, as a member of the Royal Navy, Wales understands Missouri's decision, just like Vice Admiral David Betty in the Battle of Jutland dared to shout "Approaching the enemy" even when he was at a disadvantage, the Zhiyuan used his body as a sword to stab at the incoming enemy, the navy, there is never a shortage of people who dare to fight.
D. Yamato, apparently noticing Missouri's move, perhaps appreciating the courage of the other side, stopped the shelling and stood in place waiting for Missouri.
As Missouri advanced, the artillery fire of the deep sea also avoided her course, and it was clear that D. Yamato intended a "just" duel with Missouri.
Missouri stopped at a distance of two kilometers from D.Yamato, at a distance where the shell took only three seconds from launch to hit.
"I admire your courage, Missouri," D. Yamato's voice was approving, "to be honest, I was surprised that you dared to attack this base, what was it that made you make such a decision?" Andβ" D. Yamato looked over Missouri to the fleet behind her, "your people don't seem to be here, Veneto didn't come, let me guess... Well, you're planning to sneak up on our flanks, right? β
To this question from D. Yamato, Missouri's answer was a salvo of the main guns.
"Oh, can't you wait? Or is it... Did I guess it? The shells ejected from the 406mm caliber cannon directly hit D.Yamato, and the smoke from the explosion of the high-explosive shell completely enveloped D.Yamato, and no sound came out of the smoke, but Missouri knew that the salvo just now was just a painless attack for D. Yamato.
Missouri stared closely in the direction of D. Yamato, and in an instant, the smoke composed of fire and gunpowder smoke dissipated, and the sound of the main gun fire completely blew away the smoke, and the muzzle of the main gun in front of D. Yamato was filled with a faint smoke, and the snow-white 91 bullets flew wantonly in the air, bringing death and flames.
At the moment when the smoke dispersed, Missouri jumped to the right without warning, the thrusters on the soles of his feet instantly reached their maximum output, and the instantaneous acceleration even with the body of the ship girl, I also felt a sharp pain, just two seconds after Missouri left, in the original position, a column of water rushed to the sky, bringing a local rain with a range of tens of meters.
The sea water dripped on the barrel of the Missouri gun, and in an instant it turned into a cloud of mist, and the deafening sound of the cannon being ejected was only too late.
Missouri, who had dodged an attack, did not stop, and after continuing to rush forward to the right for two seconds, he stopped suddenly, and one of the barrels in the back turret suddenly lifted and fired, and with the recoil force of the shell, Missouri completed a 90-degree turn, and at the same time aimed the main guns on both sides of the body at D. Yamato.
Salvo.
"Not bad," D. Yamato charged forward as he opened fire in Missouri, revealing the two batteries behind him, "but I'm still a long way from being able to win!" β
'Bang! The counter-thrust from the two guns firing together even stunned D. Yamato's movements, and the six shells formed in a zigzag formation, sealing the path of Missouri's advance.
"Your words, that's a lot," Missouri maneuvered to the left, avoiding the fire from D. Yamato, "Don't you know that people who talk a lot on the battlefield usually die faster?" β
"Hahaha, that's because they don't have enough strength, and I, have enough strength" D.Yamato raised his left hand, "Resistance can only slow down the arrival of death", A ball of light shot out from the ship's uniform on the left side of D.Yamato, this is a weapon exclusive to the special ship girl of the deep sea, in the seemingly beautiful ball of light, is a mass of plasma of tens of millions of degrees, the raw material of the ball of light is taken from the core of D.Yamato, an ultra-miniature nuclear fusion reactor, that is the source of power for D.Yamato, and also the source of her life.
The speed of the ball of light was not slow, the distance of thousands of meters was crossed in an instant, and Missouri had already felt the terrifying heat emitted by the ball of light, in the face of this temperature, any metal would dissipate in an instant like broken ice under the scorching sun.
Without any hesitation, Missouri used all his strength to resist the thrust brought by inertia, twisted his body to the left, and the main gun that had completed the loading roared at the ball of light, and the shell fearlessly rushed towards the ball of light, and the dynamic vision against the sky made Missouri even see the changes that had occurred on the shell, the shell made of alloy became red at high temperatures, and then dissolved, the ionized air distorted the picture, the gunpowder in the warhead of the high-explosive shell was ignited by the high temperature, the flames burst out from the inside, and the remaining part of the shell turned into countless fragments in the explosion, the lucky fragments use this force to fly into the distance and fall into the sea, and the fragments that fly towards the ball of light become part of the ball of light.
Missouri was waiting for the explosion, though.
The explosion of the high-explosive bomb formed a shock wave, and the shock wave formed by the explosion of the six high-explosive bombs had a strong impact force, even enough to crash the fragile ship's mother into the middle of the break, but with the thrust brought by this shock wave and the salvo of the main gun, Missouri forcibly shifted more than ten meters to the left, and escaped from the attack range of the light ball.
"Warning, slightly damaged armament"
The only good news is that the blaster does less damage than expected.
The ball of light that was opened by Missouri continued to rush to the sea, as the ball of light approached, the sea surface gradually concave, a large amount of water vapor began to rise, and the diffuse water mist made the battlefield look like a fairyland.
And the shells that pass through the mist turn red under the extremely high temperature of the mist.
"Yes, really good" D. Yamato's eyes were full of approval when he saw Missouri dodge his attack again, and of course, the laughter was greeted by the whistling cannonballs.
Once again, the Missouri shells were hard carried with the ship's load, and D. Yamato replied with a salvo of three main guns.
At this time, shells are the best answer.
