Chapter Eighty-Nine: Return to Laayoune
Just when Xu Zhonglin was chatting with the goddess of wisdom, Sissi suddenly had a telepathy: Admiral, there is a change on Admiral Lily's side.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone quickly gathered.
"Canarias said that they heard the news in Casablanca that someone went to Laayoune to salvage the wreckage, so they followed, and there was a battle, there were many people on the other side, there were eight heavy cruisers, Lin Xian received a shell, moderate damage, Canarias also received three shots, the problem is not big, the other side has a big break, but it should be able to be rescued."
"Where are they now?"
"They're going to the town of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands now."
"Where are we?"
"We've just passed Wachlan, and we're about a thousand nautical miles from Las Palmas."
"Full speed!"
Xu Zhonglin now felt that this world was really good, in the original world, if the battleship could maintain full speed for an hour, it would be considered qualified, but his fleet continued to sail for thirty hours at 33 knots, and finally arrived at Las Palmas Town Guard Mansion the next night.
As soon as he got off the boat, Xu Zhonglin asked, "Are you injured?" What happened to Canarias and Lin Xian? ”
Lily greeted her: "No injuries, both of them are fine." ”
"Then let's set off overnight and introduce the situation on the road."
"But Anne can't play at night."
Xu Zhonglin said: "Time waits for no one, what if they take the core away?" Besides, Anne is here just right, it's only sixty nautical miles from Laayoune, and I'll have her send a plane in the morning. ”
"Okay." Lily was also anxious and decisively agreed.
"Anne is here on standby, and the others are leaving."
At night, Laayoune Beach was pitch black, and more than two dozen warships lay there silently on the sea, like dormant beasts. On one of the largest of these ships, a closed compartment was illuminated by a dim glow.
Butter seemed to get fatter, and he said to the man opposite him, "Cripple, let's get out tomorrow for another day!" ”
The lame man had a face full of meat: "Grass! Butter, didn't you say there's a lot of good stuff here? It took Lao Tzu two days, and it was easy to consume all the planes of that Qi Ji on the shore, and how many resources were smashed into it, and you tell me to withdraw now?! ”
On the other side, a piercing voice also helped: "That's it, butter, we can fish for a day today, this little thing is not enough to lose, how can we leave?" ”
Seeing that the two disagreed, Butter jumped up: "Parrot, you don't want to die?!" Didn't you see that Black Widow came yesterday? ”
The parrot was very disdainful: "Haha, when Lao Tzu is scared?" Black Widow only has four boats left, what's there to be afraid of?! Didn't we beat it away? ”
Butter was anxious: "She must have gone to move the rescuers, maybe she was already on her way." ”
The cripple was also dissatisfied with Butter's timidity: "Rescue? Haha, who the doesn't know now, Black Widow ran away with a little oriental white face, who can she find now? Going to Casablanca for a striptease fundraiser? ”
The parrot also let out an ugly laugh when he heard this: "Butter, are you too timid, we have eight heavy patrols, ten light patrols, and six expulsions, and the cripple also deliberately hid a battle patrol, even if the black widow has reinforcements, her estimate of our strength is insufficient, what are you afraid of?" ”
Butter thought about it too, so he didn't say anything more.
At midnight, a fleet of five heavy cruisers was sailing in columns.
"Report, Canarias found the other party. The target situation has changed. There was one that was particularly huge, like a battleship or a battlecruiser. ”
Xu Zhonglin estimated that it would not be so simple: "What about the others? ”
"There are four heavy cruisers, six light cruisers, and three destroyers that have been temporarily confirmed, and Canarias does not dare to go any further."
"Let Barcelissa go up, disguise yourself as a lost ship, and make sure to find out the whole situation."
"Yes!"
The Butter Trio is discussing the scope of tomorrow's salvage. At this time, a shipwreck suddenly came over and reported: "Admiral, we have found a light cruiser approaching us. ”
The parrot stood up: "How big?" ”
"It's small, about 4,000 tons, but it's fast."
"Grass, let him get out of here, if he doesn't roll, he'll be sunk."
"Admiral, the other party said that he was lost and was going to the Canary Governor's Mansion, and he was asking about our route."
The parrot was relieved when he heard this: "Haha, it is estimated that he is a rookie of the academy, and there will always be some guys who don't know the height of the sky at this time of year, forget it, it is estimated that this little guy has no oil and water on him, you tell him, this is the sea area of Madeira, tell him to go all the way south, and he will arrive soon." ”
The cripple laughed: "Parrot, you are so bad, don't you send people to death when you go south?" ”
"You can't find a stupid way, what's the difference between dying early and dying late?"
Butter suddenly stood up: "Something is wrong, keep an eye on that ship, it's best to send a destroyer to scout around, I'm afraid this is a pathfinder, how can it be so coincidental?" ”
The cripple and the parrot, though not satisfied with Butter's timidity, scolded and ordered to go on, and it didn't take much effort anyway.
On the other side, Rena reported: "Admiral, Barcelissa has seen clearly, there is a total of one battle patrol, eight heavy patrols, ten light patrols, and six expulsions, but she was followed by the other party. ”
"Let her speed up the disengagement, get rid of it and then go back around."
"Admiral, the other party has sent destroyers to reconnoitre, and four of them are coming this way."
This made Xu Zhonglin realize that he was discovered by the other party: "Line up the battle line, knock out all the opponent's destroyers!" ”
The night expulsion lightning strike is always a great threat to the Heavy Patrol.
As soon as the order was given, the six battleships on the sea immediately lined up, and the huge gun muzzles turned one after another, aiming at their respective targets.
"Get closer, hit 20,000 meters again, and make sure to sink."
Soon, when the 20,000 meters were about to arrive, Rena reported: "Admiral, the other party seems to have discovered us and is turning around." ”
"Fire!"
With the sound of the order, more than 50 balls of fire broke out on the sea surface, and the advanced fire control radar omitted the need to score a calibration and directly entered the salvo. In particular, five Des Moines-class heavy cruisers rained 450 rounds of high-explosive bombs on the opposite side within a minute, and two of them were immediately sunk. Another ship has also stopped at sea.
The last one didn't go far, and in the next minute it was hit by more than four high-explosive shells, which exploded directly into pieces.
Four ships were expelled in two minutes, and for the first time, Xu Zhonglin's fleet opened its fangs hideously.
"What are you doing so fast? The opposite side has been blown to pieces, how to find the loot? ”
Rena was a little excited: "It's the first time to use such a good cannon to fight, and I'm a little excited." ”
Other ship girls also sent telepathy, probably with similar meanings to Rena, maybe they were holding back hard, and they all beat them very fiercely.
Xu Zhonglin was a little dissatisfied: "It's good to fight fast, but you also have to fight well, look at you, one percent hit rate, is it like words?" ”
