Chapter 107: Stranded Super Water God
When Shi Jinshui hurried to the island of Taiwan, the largest naval base in New Carthage in Asia, the bad news had already come back one after another. The group of unidentified enemies www.biquge.info took advantage of the destruction of the main fleet of New Carthage in Indonesian waters to attack those islands in a big way, and in just one month, they had already captured more than 30 of the largest islands. Moreover, these islands are all in an important position of the island chain defense line carefully arranged by Shi Jinshui, and the enemy's hand directly completely destroyed this defense line that he had arranged for several years.
Seeing that the situation has evolved like this in such a short period of time, Shi Jinshui can no longer sit still, and after summoning all the fleets nearby on the island of Taiwan, he is ready to set off to find out the group of enemies, even if he can't destroy the other party at once, then he must first find out the whereabouts and strength of the other party, so that he will not be like now, his eyes are black, and he doesn't know how to deal with the enemy's offensive.
However, that group of enemies was obviously also paying close attention to Shi Jinshui's actions, and when Shi Jinshui had just assembled the fleet and was about to set off, the other party actually struck first and came directly to the door.
At this time, Shi Jin had a total of twenty-three warships at his disposal, including five True Dragon-class battleships, ten Qilong-class battleships and seven Jiaolong-class battleships, in addition to his flagship Super Water God. In addition, 50,000 elite infantry units were stationed on the island. In those places suitable for landing, dozens of batteries were also built by Shi Jinshui, and the latest new heavy artillery was installed on them.
It can be said that as a farming player, Shi Jinshui is actually better at defense, which can be seen from the fact that in just a few years, he built Taiwan Island into what it is now easy to defend and difficult to attack. It was precisely because he was extremely confident in the defense he had arranged that Shi Jinshui was surprised that the enemy dared to take the initiative to attack this island.
However, he was surprised in his heart, since the enemy was coming, then he had no reason to retreat, and immediately led his fleet out of the port, preparing to fight this group of enemies to the death.
But after Shi Jinshui led his fleet out of the port, the enemy fleet that was originally rushing towards this side suddenly stopped.
Shi Jinshui was feeling strange in his heart about this, but on the enemy ships opposite, a large number of air force units were quickly lifted into the air. The enemy's air force includes three types, one is the kind of large fireflies, the largest number, there are tens of thousands, the second is those beast riders riding giant eagles, the number is about five hundred, and the last is those giant ape dragon knights with the most powerful combat effectiveness, the number is only more than a hundred.
After the enemy's air forces were in the air, half of the giant fireflies were commanded by the beast riders to rush towards Shi Jinshui's fleet, and the other half rushed towards the shore defense batteries. As for the smallest but most powerful dragon knights, they pounced on the airship troops that led to New Carthage.
As soon as Shi Jinshui saw that the enemy actually had air troops, and their strength seemed to be much stronger than his own, he immediately wisely stopped those wind resisters who were preparing to take off, and at the same time ordered his own airship troops to quickly retreat and withdraw to the sky above his own fleet, so that the warships below could also use the anti-aircraft fire above to support the airship troops and make up for the lack of their own air power.
It's a pity that Shi Jinshui still knows too little about this group of enemies, so the strategy he thinks is correct is actually useless at all. Just like Jiang Qin and them, when the fleet below used anti-aircraft fire and airship troops to resist the attack of those suicide fireflies, the enemy's one-horned super monitor lizards had already quietly dived from the water to the bottom of their ships, and then just waited for those beast commanders to give an order, they would destroy the bottom of the ship and sink these enemy warships.
However, what suffered more than Shi Jinshui were the infantry who were arranged on the shore defense batteries. Shi Jinshui and they can still rely on the battleship and airship troops to barely resist the attack of the giant fireflies in the sky, but those weak infantry can't, although they have those powerful shore defense heavy artillery around them, but these heavy guns are used to deal with enemy warships! It can't be used to fight those big bugs flying all over the sky. So these infantry can only rely on the bows and crossbows in their hands to shoot those giant fireflies. But how could this be killed, and soon many fireflies broke through their barriers, rushed to the fort, and then exploded violently, secretly blowing up the expensive coastal defense heavy artillery and those infantry.
Shi Jinshui couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that the situation on the shore had suddenly become so unfavorable to his side, and at the same time, he finally understood why the enemy was able to capture so many heavily garrisoned islands from his own side in just one month. The power of these suicide fireflies of the enemy is really terrifying! Don't look at the only one that is so small, but once it explodes, the killing range is dozens of meters away, just like a high-explosive bomb.
Boom! The hull of the ship suddenly shook violently, which also woke Shi Jinshui up, and he, like Jiang Qin at the beginning, was puzzled by this situation. In order to find out what was going on, Shi Jinshui immediately sent several water ghosts to dive into the water to check.
But after these water ghosts went down, they went directly and never returned, making Shi Jinshui wait on the ship for a long time, knowing that a Jiaolong-class battleship in the fleet was completely sunk by those super monitor lizards because of the small tonnage, Shi Jinshui realized what happened.
In the panic, Shi Jinshui still had the heart to entangle with the enemy's air forces, and immediately ordered the remaining airships and battleships to retreat towards the port. Because Shi Jinshui discovered the enemy's conspiracy relatively late, in the process of retreating, battleships began to sink one after another, and the sinking of each battleship represented the loss of anti-aircraft firepower for the fleet.
After sinking seven or eight battleships in a row, because of the large lack of anti-aircraft firepower, the enemy's giant fireflies finally found an opportunity to break through the anti-aircraft fire of the fleet and rushed to the battleships below that had not yet sunk.
Because it is the largest, the flagship that Shi Jinshui is riding, the Super Water God, has naturally become the enemy's key target. Soon several giant fireflies exploded on the ship, killing dozens of crew members on the spot. Seeing this, those soldiers hurriedly escorted Shi Jinshui and retreated to the bow turret of the Super Water God.
In order to prevent the shells in the turret from being attacked by the enemy and detonating, these guys put a layer of 100 mm thick steel plates on the outside of the turret, except for the two turrets in the bow and stern, the entire side chord of the Super Water God was also equipped with the same thick steel plates, and the purpose was the same as the steel plates on those turrets. In order to prevent the shells of the numerous gun emplacements on the side from detonating due to enemy attacks.
For this design, Gan Ning and Shi Jinshui were very worried about it at the beginning, because they felt that the naval strength of all countries in this era was very weak, and it was impossible to pose any threat to the heavy hull of the Super Water God.
However, after today's attack on the Inca Divine Kingdom, the design of this pit father came in handy by coincidence, the turret that was as strong as a turtle shell took on the role of a safe haven very well, no matter how fierce the fight was outside, it could not hurt Shi Jinshui hiding in the turret.
But Shi Jinshui also understood that this safety was at least temporary, although the tonnage of the Super Water God was huge, even if the enemy wanted to sink it, it would take a lot of effort. But it's still going to sink! Therefore, Shi Jinshui must come up with a way to get out of danger as soon as possible.
Because a large number of warships were sunk, the anti-aircraft firepower of the entire fleet was much worse than before, and Shi Jinshui felt that the chances of his side being able to safely withdraw to the port were really small. So after thinking about it for a while, he ordered all the warships to change course, and instead of going to the port, they headed directly for the nearest coast. Shi Jinshui thinks like this, as long as these battleships are successfully driven to the shallow water, then even if all these battleships are sunk later, then it is more convenient to salvage them in the shallow water, as long as they can hold the island of Taiwan, they will still have the opportunity to salvage and repair these warships in the future, and recover some losses, and at the same time, after arriving in the shallow water, if the enemy's potential underwater monitor lizards continue to follow, they will no longer be able to hide their figures, and if they continue to attack, they will be exposed to their own artillery fire. Shi Jinshui felt that no matter how powerful those monitor lizards were, in front of the cannons, they would only be defeated!
Just as Shi Jinshui thought, the enemy's one-horned super monitor lizards, after their own fleet gradually retreated to the shallow water, the huge body could no longer be hidden, and they appeared in Shi Jinshui's sight one after another.
This time, Shi Jinshui would not be polite, and immediately adjusted the gun position and bombarded those monitor lizards indiscriminately.
Under the bombardment of hundreds of warships and heavy artillery, although these one-horned super dragons had rough skin and thick flesh, they really couldn't withstand it, and they were killed in a short time.
In fact, in the eyes of those people in the Inca God Kingdom, the enemy's fleet has been completely abolished, because the bottom of the enemy's warships has been hit by their monitor lizards, and they don't dare to drive into the deep water area to fight anymore. I could only stop in the shallow water, waiting for the hull to sink slowly after entering the water.
Just like those people in the Inca God Kingdom thought, the fleet in Shi Jin's sailors really had no strength to fight anymore, and some of the smaller tonnage of the Dragon-class battleships were already slowly sinking at this time. Although Shi Jinshui's flagship Super Water God has not yet shown a tendency to sink, its speed is getting slower and slower.
Taking advantage of the fact that the battleship could still move, Shi Jinshui and a group of subordinates desperately continued to sail the behemoth towards the shore, and finally ran the battleship aground in a shallow water area with a depth of only seven or eight meters without waiting for the battleship to sink. At this time, there was already a close contact between the bottom of the Super Water God and the bottom of the sea, and the whole ship was completely unable to move.
The soldiers of the Inca God Kingdom, who had not yet gone far, laughed happily when they saw the enemy's flagship fall into such a miserable situation, which was indeed ridiculous. Such a large ship, in the end, was not sunk by the enemy, but was driven and stranded by its own people, and a battleship that could no longer move for half a minute after being stranded, even if it was huge and fierce, it was no longer half a threat to them.
