Although the littoral combat ship cannot be called a real naval warship. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But it was also a war vehicle with a displacement of several hundred tons of tonnage, built for the purpose of naval warfare.

Now, when it was facing a shell from afar, the hull of the ship, which was tens of meters long, flew in all directions like fragile glass.

Seeing this explosion, even Hilgard's youngest son knew that the battleship must be facing a large capital ship of a comparable caliber level or above.

Stretching his gaze to the end of the farther horizon, he didn't know when two slender figures appeared on the blue sea, and the dazzling purple tones magically made them the same color as the sea and the sky.

The sky is blue.

The sea is also blue to a certain extent.

But the brilliant purple paint of the two graceful and slender warships is like the best natural camouflage, and suddenly you lose your sight and ask the enemy to cross their real position.

Smoke rolls up.

The flash of fire flickered.

Shadows roared out from the hulls of the two mysterious warships.

Everyone on the shore watched them fire, watched the shells that seemed to be out of place streak across the sea, and watched them fall near the warships of the garrison of Kagu City on the coastline.

The cannonball fell into the water, followed by the characteristic sharp whistling of the cannonball piercing the sky, long and rapid but not particularly noticeable, because the battlefield was in fact too far away from the abandoned factory where everyone was.

It is so far away that everyone can only make up for it through the blurred figure and visual subjectivity.

But what they see is real.

Battleships on the sea are fighting!

"Reinforcements ......"

Except for the Blue Sea Mist Fleet, no one has ever seen anyone use it anywhere else.

There are also the two hulls on the canvas of the distant sea, which are exaggerated in length, and they look like they are three times the length of the naval battleship of Gagu City, and they are undoubtedly large capital ships on the surface.

In the waters around Kagu City, only the newly arrived Admiral had a warship of that rank under his command.

Even the fleet in the city of Zakun cannot be compared in this respect.

What's more, you haven't seen the fleet of Zakun City!

"Our reinforcements? Is that the fleet of the Admiral you are talking about? ”

Hilgard had never seen the admiral's fleet, but it seemed that only this explanation made sense.

"How...... Coming so fast? ”

Hawkeye rubbed his eyes stupidly, and finally dared to confirm that there were really two huge capital ships on the sea.

"So, did they come to us?"

Hilgard's wife asked with joy and anticipation.

"I think the answer is yes, those two warships at sea are the shipwives under the command of Admiral Ni Haoer I just mentioned, and they must have rushed to reinforce us after receiving the signal."

"Great...... Great......"

Tears of joy, after all, no one likes to escape the hopeless darkness.

Hilgard was calmer than his wife, and more sober than most of the people here.

The reality is not as good as everyone expects.

The logging factory built on the top of the hill by the sea allows everyone to see the battleship duel on the sea because of its height and wide view, and at the same time, it also clearly shows the sense of distance to everyone.

The two warships that rushed to the rescue were so far away that there were only two phantoms.

Surprised by their extraordinary range, Hilgard sensed another sense of imminent crisis.

"It is initially estimated that the other side is still 40 kilometers away and fires at the longest range, although the fleet in Kagu City is all small artillery ships, but they are equipped with a lot of torpedoes, and the two shipwresses are bound to be afraid to approach directly."

"Even if it's two battle cruisers, it will take at least a few hours to completely disperse the fleet in Kagu City."

And yet they don't have the hours at all!

The pursuers behind him are already less than a kilometer, and the other party may find this factory at any time.

After discovering reinforcements from the sea, Gagu City will inevitably speed up the search, and before the fleet officially opens up the situation, Hawkeye and the others will be a dead end as long as they are exposed to the vision of the Gagu City fleet.

So the situation is actually more urgent than before.

"Aircraft carrier, that admiral also has an aircraft carrier, the famous ship Lexington." Hawkeye is also aware of the current situation.

Hilgard shook his head.

In the navy, he is much more familiar than Hawkeye.

"Today's weather is the most ideal condition for aircraft carrier operations, if the admiral sent the aircraft carrier, the first phase of the bombing attack should be carried out, we did not see the carrier-based aircraft, it means that his aircraft carrier is not nearby."

"He should have received our request for help and urgently mobilized two battle cruisers to rush over."

With only two battlecruisers as the main unit, they were not as advantageous as we thought when faced with a large number of small battleships.

The battleships in the city of Gagu were too small.

This is a fatal shortcoming in most cases.

But in the face of two battle cruisers that took the route of large and rough mines, it became a certain advantage.

The small boats did not dare and could not approach the battle cruisers, and the battle cruisers could not carry out effective artillery bombardment, because they were too small and too far away to hit and did not dare to go too deep to be surrounded by small warships.

The maneuverability of large warships was notoriously bulky.

A torpedo attack in a surrounded situation was fatal enough for them.

As a result, the time of this battle at sea will be stretched out for a long time, and the pace will be slow, and the key point is still on everyone on the shore.

"Battlecruisers?" Hawkeye looked surprised.

"Huh? Am I wrong? Hilgard didn't realize why Hawkeye was on this expression.

"I got the news that Admiral Ni Hao's fleet is two battleships, one Andrea Doria and one Cayo Duilio, and they are not battle cruisers."

"Andrea-class battleships?"

Hilgard looked at the two purple figures on the surface of the sea again.

The Andrea-class is a dreadnought-class battleship and is not a member of the family of high-speed battleships that appeared later but is rare.

Although it is far away, the slender silhouette that is slightly clear under the telescope and the design of the curves full of agility are the characteristics of the battle patrol.

"Yes, Admiral Ni Haoer has two battleships instead of battle cruisers." Hawkeye affirmed.

Battleship.

Battlecruisers.

Two grades that are somewhat similar but slightly different.

In some cases, battleships and battlecruisers were very different.

"Really...... Two battleships, really! "What is the difference between a battleship and a battlecruiser, the Hilgard is clear to everyone on the scene.

Defense.

That is, the level of armor protection.

As the strongest Iron King (Harmony) eight-hulled, the battleship was born with armor protection that was higher than that of the battle cruiser.

The battlecruiser dared not face the fire, the battleship dared to rush up against the artillery fire, the battleship did not dare to eat the torpedo, the battleship dared to hit you in one breath and a few without smoking.

(Ahem, it's not that exaggerated, but it's true that battleships can withstand attacks better than battlecruisers, so after the advent of high-speed battleships, no one pursued the stuffed and thin-skinned battlecruisers anymore.) ）

The two "battle cruisers" in the line of sight, which were supposed to maintain their range advantage, changed their normal behavior and drove straight to the coastline.

They didn't even take the threat of the small boats on the other side of them.

Now it was Hilgard's turn to be dumbfounded.

Andrea?

How did you make him believe that those two battleships at sea were Andrea sisters.

"The ...... Damn Europeans! "What Nima's Ni Haoer not only owns two regular battleships, but he also transformed the battleship into a battle patrol image so sickly.

Hilgard is well aware of this concept.

Because as a shipbuilding engineer, he fantasized about this kind of brain hole more than once.

Free up all the excess space on the hull of the ship Niang to the armor, and truly turn the battleship Ship Niang into the Iron King (Harmony) Eight Shells...... No, the Iron King (Harmony) Eight Spindles.

The combination of ship mother and industry.

An idealized true form of the ship's hull.

"Mr. Hilgard, you ...... What are you talking about? "Europeans? Hawkeye doesn't understand the terms that circulate in Admiral's circles.

"It's fine!" Gritting his teeth, Hilgard didn't look like he said he was fine.

Damn it.

I didn't expect to be exposed to the face if I didn't enter that circle.

The ensuing battle on the sea also confirmed Hilgard's suspicions.

The two purple battleships that drove straight in ignored the gunfire of the Gagu City Fleet and had almost no intention of dodging, and as the distance between the two sides approached and the formation of the Gagu City Fleet converged, they began to be hit by cannonballs.

How many millimeters is the maximum caliber main gun of the Maritime Guard in the city of Gagu?

380 battleship class?

You think so much.

252 Heavy Patrol?

Hehe!

127 destroyer class?

It's all about destroyers, do you think those small bodies that can only be called gunboats can resist it?

The main guns, which did not even have a caliber of 127 mm, their shells exploded on the hulls of the two Andrea-class battleships, and they were not even as good as small artillery battles, not to mention the side armor that made you fall on the deck by luck......

In addition to being able to see the fire, the two battleships "did not change their colors" in direct disregard.

The fleet of the city of Kagu could not even inflict damage worthy of being called battle damage on two battleships.

People often like to use the phrase "a group of heavy cavalry rushing into the phalanx" or "a tank rushing into the phalanx" to describe the scene as devastating and devastation, and now the Andrea sisters have perfectly interpreted this idiom.

Perhaps they seem to be the ones who are being bullied by the fire.

Perhaps their attacks didn't seem to be as high as the hits of the opposing gunboats.

Or maybe it feels like the crowd in Gagu City will reach the strength of the last straw that crushes the camel in the next moment.

But they just drove into the fleet defense area of Gagu City, as if two deep-sea beasts were slowly approaching their target.

When the battleships of Gagu gathered to a ridiculous extent, when the distance between the two sides approached an ideal range for shelling, when they directly destroyed a littoral warship with a single shell.

The situation was reversed in an instant.

And at this time, Hawkeye is leading his men out of the pursuers.

They didn't get a chance to see the ragtag flotilla of the rabble in Gagu City fleeing in a hurry after seeing that none of the torpedoes they relied on could pose a threat to the two giant ships.

Just one head-to-head engagement.

Thirteen wrecks were left on the tranquil surface of the sea, burning with billowing smoke and gradually sinking.

The city of Gagu paid the price of two-thirds of the city's naval warships for his death.

And the results of the battle were only black stains on the Andrea sisters.
