Chapter 601: The Burning Ocean (VII.)

Thanks to the brave fighting of the two amazing troops of the Aviation Brigade and the Submarines Brigade, the White Gull Fleet, which was cut off by the waist, finally got a chance to breathe, and the flagship "Yangbo" issued an order: adjust the formation and switch to counterattack on the spot!

After paying the price of sinking two frigates and damaging one destroyer, the Harbor Whitegull fleet was finally on the right track, with eight warships of all classes evenly distributed on the left and right flanks, spreading out two battle lines and bombarding the Maximian fleet in the central sea!

Although in terms of the efficiency of naval artillery attacks, Viktoria's fleet still suffered, at least it got rid of the predicament of being completely passively beaten, and regained the hope of victory. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

At 5:20 p.m. on June 19, at 56°5 north latitude and 147°4 east longitude, the sea area near Pearl Island in Beiwan Bay was divided by sea level, and battles in the air, at sea and under the sea began at the same time.

At this moment, the warring parties have not yet realized that what they are engaged in is an unprecedented three-dimensional war in the North Sea region!

At 5:25, the pirate Admiral Maximian assessed the situation and issued a series of combat orders on his flagship:

"The 2nd and 3rd Flying Shark Brigades set sail to assist the 1st Flying Shark Brigade in meeting and destroying the enemy eagles!"

"Renard leads the Sea Wolf Wing to attack and stop the enemy's 'water ghosts' from destroying our ships! When the time is right, you can retaliate by destroying or looting enemy ships, and Renard can be cut by yourself! ”

"Ducatt commanded the Sawa Marine Corps to ride a sea slug out of the warring sea area, and immediately went to Baiou Harbor to land on the beach and carry out 'Operation Z'!"

"Parsacis led the 2nd Warlock Regiment to ride the Flying Shark to escort the Sawa Marines and assist Ducatt in completing Operation Z!"

The so-called "Z operation" refers to the fact that while Maximian dragged the main fleet of the Baiou Harbor Navy, he sent an elite marine team to Baiou Harbor to launch a surprise attack, and the targets of the attack were mainly two: the Mecha Research Institute and the Airship Company.

Based on the information gathered by Helena and Parsassis, Maximian learned that Port Baiou was developing a new type of mechanical armor called the "Yangbo Mecha", which was said to be much better than the "Qualisch Device" in all aspects.

Just look at the hapless "Angry Waves" to know how much of a threat the submarine unit of Baiou Harbor equipped with the "Kualish device" poses to the battleship, and how powerful will the new mechanical armor be stronger than the "Kualish device"? Helena and Parsacsis did not give a clear report, and such military secrets were not available in a short period of time. Maximian didn't want to see White Gull Harbor test his warship with a new type of mechanical armor one day, even if the "Yangbo Mecha" appeared on the battlefield, it should also fight for the side of the Giant Demon Island. Therefore, he planned "Operation Z", taking advantage of the fact that the military power of the Yangbo family was all attracted by naval warfare, and sent marines to infiltrate Baiou Harbor to seize the new mechanical armor and its related research and development materials, and if possible, it is best to kidnap Morozov, the main designer of the new mechanical armor.

One of the more important targets of "Operation Z" is the airship company. From the point of view of military value, the potential of the airship is still above the new mechanical armor. Maximian was interested in all new types of weapons and even military technology, mainly under the influence of his mistress Kraken. Her Majesty the Queen of the Giant Demon Island made it clear that in order to obtain the latest technology of the airship, of course, he would spare no effort to complete the task assigned by Kraken.

In fact, the "airship" was the fuse for the conflict between the Giant Demon Island and the White Gull Harbor. At the beginning, Maximian publicly shouted to the authorities of Baiou Port in the newspaper, and secretly contacted the professional lobbyist Kuntiliang through "Ms. D" Parsacis to talk to Lyubov Yangbo about conditions, trying to use Akari threat + private negotiation to obtain the shares and technical information of the airship company, but Lyubov did not give him face, and returned a resounding slap to him, saying that he would rather die than give in.

Very well, then let Lyubov and her Yangbo family die!

Maximian has been begging for a living at sea since he was a child, from the lowest sailor to boatswain, swordsmanship instructor, first mate, captain to fleet commander, he has experienced countless ups and downs for thirty years, he is very aware of every detail that may determine the outcome of a naval battle from the beginning to the end, of course, it can also be seen that the commander of the opposite "Yangbo" still lacks actual combat experience, otherwise she should have seen that the defeat of the Baigull Harbor side is only a matter of time.

To put it bluntly, naval warfare is a drain on resources. The two sides set up a position to bombard each other's naval guns, sinking and damaging the opponent's warships is the ultimate goal, and when the battleships consume a certain degree of firepower, it is not enough to confront the enemy, and then there are only two options but escape and surrender.

At this moment, there are still eight warships of all levels on the sea belonging to the side of Baiou Harbor, but only six can still fire guns, except for the flagship "Yangbo", the rest of the warships are either heavy or light, and while persisting in fighting, they also have to be tired of repairing leaking bullet holes and extinguishing fires on the deck, and the mental pressure of the crew is on the verge of collapse.

The Giant Demon Island side lost the destroyer "Angry Waves", and the light cruiser "Nanfeng" and her two wingmen "Shahua" and "Blackwater" were seriously injured by the armored knights, and temporarily withdrew from the battlefield and are receiving emergency repairs from the engineering ship, and can return to the battlefield to participate in the battle in another hour at most.

Since Renard led the Sea Wolf Brigade into the water to escort his own ships, the armored knights who were still showing their might just now have completely lost their sense of existence, and they still have no time to destroy the enemy ships.

The days of the giant eagle that dropped bombs stealthily in the air were also not good, and a large group of flying sharks patrolled over their respective motherships with the blessing of "seeing through the invisibility", and when they found the giant eagle, they swarmed up and launched a fierce attack. The giant eagle was loaded with heavy bombs, and its mobility was greatly affected, and it was besieged by a group of sharks before it could even escape......

Maximian looked at the overall situation of the battlefield, even if he did not count the three ships of the South Wind, his fleet still had a slight upper hand in the confrontation with the White Gull Harbor fleet, so it was obvious -

"When Nanfeng, Shahua and Blackwater return, this naval battle will be over." With a smile on his face, Maximian prophesied victory to Sir Dodge and the representatives of the three city-states.

Maximian was not alone in looking at the overall situation on the battlefield, and Lyubov was aware that the balance of war was tilting in his favor.

She saw Viktoria's efforts, and she couldn't see anything wrong with her sister's tactics in her eyes, and the reason why she was in a passive position was a true reflection of the strength of the fleets of both sides.

What else can you expect now?

Lyubov remembered Roland's admonition: persistence is victory!

However, the "Eagle Island" and the "Pearl Island" are no less than 500 nautical miles apart, and the weather at sea is changeable, the wind and waves are fierce.

Frankly, Lyubov did not have much confidence.

The combat commander couldn't help her sister, and the rescuers didn't know where, so all she could do now was to buy some time for this fleet that gambled on the rise and fall of the Yangbo family by herself.
