Chapter Eighty-Six: The Poor South American Fleet

Due to the high quality of the captains, the Langya fleet was able to maintain a smooth formation when traveling at night. With the help of "perception", Gangzi easily used his battle line to circle the slowly wriggling left-wing group of Seattle fleet.

In the face of the left-wing ship group that was densely spread on the sea and did not spread out the formation, Gangzi did not call the fleet close for a visual attack, after all, the visual attack was counterattacked more intensely, and the night had just begun, and Gangzi needed to leave enough warships to participate in the general attack on the Seattle fleet at dawn. So Gangzi gave all the captains a coordinate of the range of the existence of the left-wing ship group, and the rest was left to the ships themselves.

"Boom, boom, boom......"

A round of fire directed towards the center interrupted the still arguing group of left-wing ships, and then the vibration of the bullet in the hull told all the left-wing captains what a fatal mistake it was to not know the command of the battle. The roar of artillery filled the entire sea, and there were flying shells on all sides, and the South American captains, who still did not know who to listen to, did not know how to return fire on the incoming enemy ships, but in vain fired shells that were more consoling than deterrent to the flash.

There was no organized counterattack, the left flank group completely lost its defensive ability, and some of the battleships that fired back were immediately attacked by the Langya fleet after they leaked out of their positions. Seeing that the cannon died faster, the captains who were about to fire back the cannon were a little slower and immediately dispelled the idea of firing back. Then came a flood of contradictory orders: "All ships rush outward, entangle the Langya fleet, our support will arrive immediately", "Open fire!" Fire! Don't be stupid, we must suppress the enemy's firepower", "to ***; Concentrated, we must form a large-scale counterattack firepower. ”

The left-wing ship group was in complete disarray this time.

The Langya fleet, on the other hand, fired extremely efficiently at the enclosed fleet in the center, and they didn't even have to dodge the incoming shells, because there were too few. And it's not a crosshair.

The attack of the "Flying Henan" was the most efficient, and the shells fired from the steel howitzer were extremely lethal to the brig, and the 22-pound iron ball was a hole that could not be repaired. Moreover, the 30 guns on the side called "Flying Henan" maintain an extremely high output, plus having dwarves and elves does not have to worry about the replenishment and physical exertion of steel smoothbore guns. Gangzi is every shot must be inspired, and the surging cannonballs perfectly interpret Gangzi's "fire flow", which also caused the Seattle battleship to fall in pieces on the sea surface that was targeted.

To say that the cannon in the middle of the "Flying Henan People" pays attention to the number of deliveries, and the two batteries in the front and rear of it are more inclined to point kill. As natives of the Emerald World, both the Treants and the Elves have good dark vision, and with the high gunners and Elizabeth's coordinates at any time, the front and rear turrets can easily find every enemy ship on the battlefield.

"Throwing a Fortune" gives Joey and Mark more power. A single rattan could drop a 22-pound shell on a four-nautical-mile position, which meant that the entire left-wing ship group was within his firepower. Combined with the two Treants, one "Master" and one "Advanced" throwing, and the accurate bonus brought by launching the "Qiankun Throw", the two Treants are very competent for the sniper mission assigned to them by Gangzi.

A three-masted battleship belonging to the left flank group was found by Elizabeth, and the coordinates were passed to the front and rear batteries, according to which the crew members quickly identified the target ship from the middle of the sails in the thicket.

The commander of the gun calculates the angle and force, the ruler is in place, and the shell enters the acceleration.

"Launch!"

Five shells from each of the front and rear batteries were released at the same time, and a large parabola was drawn over the group of ships below that were trying to dodge the shells, and they shot at the three-masted battleship, which was not yet targeted.

"I'll just say that Gangzi Boss is constantly surprised. The previous silence was a secrecy about the fleet's whereabouts, and Hugh Hobert would definitely send someone to keep an eye on our live broadcast, so the data and signals sent to us were all screened by the Ling Xiao Operations Department. But don't be disappointed, the details of the battle of the Langya fleet will be released after the battle, and you will receive it as soon as possible. War-secrecy is the first element, please be able to understand it. ”

"Now the Langya fleet has given the picture again, although we can't see the battlefield clearly due to the light, but the boss of Gangzi did complete the movement of the fleet under the nose of Hugh Hobert, and successfully surrounded the left wing of the Seattle fleet. The Langya fleet is attacking at this time, it is so beautiful, all the circles are inward-facing firelight. However, there was very little fire in the circle, which meant that the Seattle left-wing ship group was completely suppressed by the Langya fleet. This is what the saying goes, and the opponent does not have the ability to fight back. One can imagine what the Seattle left-wing ship group was like at this time. It was ploughed over and over again by the shells of the Langya fleet, and if you resist a little, more shells will be fired, which is really desperate. ”

"Take a look, look at the left, such a dense flash, and it is two flashes, it must be the flagship of the Gangzi boss 'Flying Henan People', I will send a request to the Gangzi Boss to see if I can experience the shock of the 'Flying Henan People' up close."

The beautiful anchor's request was quickly answered, and the camera turned to the side of the "Flying Henan People" that fired the gun. At this time, the guns on the side of the port had been loaded, and the muzzles of the 30 guns poked out of the gun doors in no particular order, through which the gunners behind the guns could be seen calibrating the gun bodies, and then the torches lit the fuses. The artillery fuse that did not need to be delayed was very short, and with the roar and firelight, thick smoke erupted from the muzzles of the 30 guns, and before the audience could reflect in the shock, there was another roar, and the "Flying Henan People" was launched again.

"This is the strongest warship, and it has more than doubled its power in the hands of Boss Gangzi. Now that the camera is moving, it seems that Boss Gangzi intends to give us a closer look at his fleet. We can see that the battle line of the Langya fleet is kept very neat, all the lines are full of the roar of naval guns, the three-masted battleships and two-masted battleships are firing shells rapidly, and the fleet's speed is very slow, and there is no evasive action, which is a major mistake in the naval battle, but do you see that the Langya fleet has a battleship that has been shot? No! The Langya fleet didn't need to dodge at all, his opponent had completely lost the opportunity to resist, the battleships on their outer side did not dare to open their guns to leak themselves, and the battleships on their inner side did not have a firing angle. I don't know what happened to the Seattle Left Wing Fleet. Obviously, there was a major mistake in command, so let's bless them and hope that they will continue to make mistakes. ”

The players of Dahan are happily enjoying the battle on this side. But the screen suddenly went black, and it was obvious that the front line cut off the video.

"It seems that the reinforcements of the Seattle fleet have arrived. The Langya fleet began to make tactical transfers again, telling us to wait quietly for a while, and I believe that when the video is opened again, it will continue to be so exciting. Good! The results of the Langya fleet's attack on the left flank fleet in Seattle this time were sent, but due to the light, it can only be confirmed that 7 brigs were sunk, and it is believed that there are more battleships sunk and damaged have not been counted, and none of the Langya fleet has been sunk. That's the result of a 30-minute battle, a very beautiful record. Yes! The beautiful anchor's voice was an octave higher, "Another battleship was sunk by confirmation, it was a three-masted battleship, it was sunk by the 'Flying Henan People', and now since the start of the war, the 'Flying Henan People' has sunk two three-masted battleships, and now the Seattle fleet still has 17 three-masted battleships, according to this rate of sinking, can they support it until dawn?" I doubt it. ”

"How? Another three-masted battleship was sunk! Hugh Hobert was furious, and not just because of the large number of battleship losses. What's more, because the left flank fleet just let the Langya fleet run away, after paying a heavy price, it did not play a role in containing it at all.

The adjutant said: "The main thing is the command problem. The South American fleet was afraid that we would call them artillery fire, and the enemy was afraid of the enemy so that Gangzi took advantage of the loophole, but our rescue was timely, and the losses of the South American fleet were not too heavy, and many warships were dragged and could still sail, but they needed to be repaired as soon as possible, and it can be seen that the South American players and us are not in unison, and it is difficult to command. ”

"Then don't let them go to war. Order all the South American and Mexican warships of the fleet to march toward Pearl Harbor, and when they enter the harbor, drive their men off the ship and exchange them for ours. ”

"I'm afraid it'...... like this"

"What are you afraid of! Wait until the battle is won. The whole Pacific is what we say, and they protest at best. Are we still afraid to protest? Hugh Hobert's temper was very bad, because his dhow with the emergency flag was blocked and sunk by the battleships of the Langya fleet, and his plan to return to the fleet fell through again, this time he was going to hit the attention of the South American fleet, this time with the escort of the entire fleet. Have the ability to sink me again!

The Seattle Left Wing Ship Group, together with the South American and Mexican warships separated from the Center and Right Wing Groups, dragged the wounded ships to Pearl Harbor, and the Center Group and the Right Wing Group reformed the Seattle Main Fleet to follow. Hugh Hobert knew that Gangzi would not easily call himself back to the fleet, as long as the Langya fleet dared to intercept, the Seattle fleet would immediately pounce on them and entangle them.

"Report to the Admiral! The Seattle fleet sent a large number of dhow ships to look for us, and their main force was heading for Pearl Harbor. ”

The movements of the Seattle fleet are clear to Gangzi, while the Langya fleet has not yet been discovered by the opponent due to the protection of high-speed sloops.

Gangzi stared thoughtfully at the chart, and to be honest, he didn't want the Seattle fleet to enter Pearl Harbor. The Seattle fleet experienced the Battle of Albatross Island, and lost a lot of ammunition, although they also passed through the supply of the South American fleet, but the South American fleet obviously came with the intention of playing soy sauce, and in order to sail quickly, they did not carry much ammunition themselves, they originally planned to replenish ammunition in Hawaii, but Hawaii was blocked by the Langya fleet, and it became their supply to the Seattle fleet.

So the ammunition of the Seattle fleet was not enough to support the operation against the Hangzhou fleet, which had completed the replenishment. Now Hugh Hobert did not make a desperate attempt to order the entire fleet to break through to Pearl Harbor, but wanted to take advantage of the superiority in strength to solve the Langya fleet first, and then fight the Hangzhou fleet while supplying, relying on Pearl Harbor to drag down the Hangzhou fleet, and then wait for the fleet assembled on the mainland of the United States to arrive to lay down the victory in one fell swoop.

Gangzi guessed Hugh Hobert's thoughts, and Seattle was now assuming a posture of heading towards Pearl Harbor, which was to lure himself into attacking.

"The fleet advanced, and all Qingzhou fifth-class battleships launched an attack from the right flank of the South American Fleet, attracting the attack of the Seattle main fleet, and all the three-masted battleships moved with the 'Flying Henan'."

The flagship's order was conveyed that the Langya fleet was divided into two, and the Qingzhou fifth-class battleships sailed towards the right flank of the South American fleet at their own speed, and the remaining three-masted battleships entered the rear route of the Seattle fleet with the "Flying Henan".

Fighting broke out suddenly.

"Report to the Admiral! The South American fleet was attacked by the Langya fleet and asked for reinforcements. ”

The adjutant said: "This time you can't call the Langya fleet to run anymore, I think the fleet should be pulled away." Form a net cover to pass, eat part of the net, and keep chasing and encroaching. You can annihilate all the Langya fleet. ”

"No," Hugh Hobert said decisively. "That's just bait, the real main force of the Langya fleet is in our rear."

"Admiral?"

"Didn't you notice that the Langya fleet protected their position very well?"

"That's because their high-speed dhow is very good."

"No, Gangzi must have a way to directly obtain our location, whether there is a mole in our fleet or something, they can sprinkle high-speed dhows in our direction, and then use his vision to detect and effectively intercept in advance. However, his high-speed dhow is limited in number and can only protect the perimeter of the fleet, which means that the presence of the enemy fleet is used where the dhow is attacked. If you look at our charts, where are there more battles, except for the fierce battles of sloops around the South American fleet? ”

The adjutant looked at the chart on the front, and it was obvious that the fierce battle between the sloops in the rear of his main fleet was more intense.

"Lord Admiral, you said that the main force of the Langya fleet is in my rear?"

"I don't know if it's the main force or not, but I'm sure Gangzi is there. Ordered the fleet to turn right and make a gesture of outflanking the enemy's decoy fleet, exposing the rear of the South American fleet, and telling Gangzi to move forward boldly. ”

Seeing that the Seattle fleet was successfully mobilized, Gangzi happily ordered the fleet to move forward.

Hugh Hobert looked at the red dot in the rear that represented the dhow battle began to move forward, and said with a smile: "Inform our nearby dhow not to go to support, at this time we can't let Gangzi know that I have found him." The main fleet continues to move, and we have a little more momentum to move forward. ”

"The Seattle fleet has begun to outflank, and the Qingzhou fifth-level battleship group is ordered to start retreating."

"The Langya Fleet, the decoy fleet, is retreating. The whole fleet turned with the right rudder full, all the battleships outflanked and advanced to the coordinates I gave, the enemy's main force was there, spread out the formation, and immediately reported when the enemy's main battleships were found, all the battleships were moving at full speed, regardless of the formation, drive all your speeds. The dhow near the coordinates immediately attacked the coordinate position, and I was rewarded for discovering the enemy's capital ship group. ”

Recognize the measurement of the gang. Hugh Hobert, who was going to pursue him, was very excited, watching the battle of the dhow near the coordinates become more intense. He knew that he had really caught Gangzi this time, and now the battle was retreating to the far end. Obviously, Gangzi already knew that he was discovered, "But what can I do, when I pretended to outflank the decoy fleet, my fleet had already completed the semi-turn, and this time I lined up all the fast sloops and brigs to catch up, and the Gangzi fleet with the three-masted battleships as the main body will definitely not be able to escape." ”

"Report to the Admiral! The enemy's newly withdrawn fleet has turned back to attack the South American fleet, and they have asked for our support. ”

"Support a Fak, their warships are much more than the other side, and the opponent's capital ships are not there, they still need to support? Tell them to either be wiped out by this small fleet, or show the courage to fight back. All Seattle battleships continued the pursuit, not allowed to turn back. ”

Hugh Hobert ignored the South American fleet's pleas for help, and just blindly ordered the Seattle fleet to chase after him, as long as he destroyed the remaining battleships of Gangzi, it would not be a matter of concern.

"Report to the Admiral! The South American fleet said that their left flank was also under attack, with fierce fire, and called for reinforcements. ”

Hugh Hobert was staring at the picture of the pursuit of the Seattle fleet, ignoring the South American fleet's request for help: "This shows that Gangzi has been in a hurry under our pursuit, and even the lurking warships have been sent, and the South Americans will say that the firepower is fierce when they hear a little movement, and I will not be fooled, so I will tell the fleet to continue to pursue, and ask the South American fleet to continue to resist." ”

"But ......"

"But what? Didn't you see that our warships had broken through the barricades of their high-speed dhows? Gangzi's fleet is about to appear in front of me. ”

"But the video of the South American fleet has also been sent, and after verification of firepower, their left flank is being attacked by five three-masted warships and the 'Flying Henan People'."

"Impossible, if the 'Flying Henan People' is over there, then what are we chasing?"

"Report to the Admiral, nothing, nothing in this area, no enemy warships have been found, and the enemy's high-speed dhows have retreated."

"Fake, I've been deceived again."

"Hahaha...... Gangzi Boss gave the picture again, so I said, tonight must be exciting. I'll see who the Langya fleet is attacking, it's the South American fleet again, poor boys, they really shouldn't be coming to Hawaii. This time, Gangzi Boss attacked the South American fleet from the left and right, and the South American fleet finally had a decent counterattack, but it was not enough to pose too much threat to the Langya fleet, but I wondered, where is the Seattle fleet, didn't Gangzi Boss ask them to remember a little longer last time he besieged these South Americans? unexpectedly continued to allow these unlucky children to be ravaged by the Langya fleet. (To be continued)
