Chapter 168: Wolves
300 Tianshen-class battleships were launched, and after a few hours, 100 wolf-tooth-class frigates were launched, and Xiang Qi handed over 80 wolf-class frigates to Chiyou, leaving 20 and organizing them into his own fleet.
Xiang Qi's Celestial-class battleship is faster than the Dreadnought-class battleship in the United States, and although the range is much less, as long as it approaches the opponent's range at the fastest speed, the combat effectiveness of the two sides is basically no different.
"Speed advantage." Xiang Qi frowned, what he was thinking about was how to use this speed advantage to inflict effective damage on the troops of the American service. He remembered a classic tactic from World War II, called the wolf pack tactic. In World War II, Germany used submarines to play wolf pack tactics, and Xiang Qi could reinterpret it with these Celestial-class warships.
The United States has more than 600 islands and 1,200 coastal cities, Xiang Qi can use these Celestial-class warships to harass these places and contain the troops of the United States, if the United States disperses their fleet, Xiang Qi will immediately use the Celestial-class warships to encircle and suppress them, forming a local strategic advantage!
Next, the nightmare of American clothing began, and the cities on more than thirty of their islands were shelled to varying degrees and suffered heavy losses. After the launch of a large number of Dreadnought-class warships, the number of Dreadnought-class warships has climbed to more than 580, more than 160 more than the Luna. In order to cope with the Russian service, a large number of troops returned to help, and there were only more than 80 warships left in the entire Pacific waters.
Fisoni Island, an important strategic base and material transit point in the western Pacific Ocean of the United States, has built a large city on the island, and three newly launched Dreadnought-class warships are docked in the harbor. In order to win this war, Meifu has built a number of 10,000-ton shipyards here in order to cope with unexpected needs.
The harbor is unusually quiet, and the blue sky is occasionally filled with seagulls flying by, and the beautiful picture is pleasing to the eye. With more than 10,000 players and 70,000 mercenaries left behind in Fishoni City, coupled with the perfect level defense of a large city, the defense capability is still quite good.
Suddenly, a heavy fog slowly drifted over the sea, and the surrounding vision suddenly became very low, and everything within a few hundred yards was invisible, and the sea was already a vast white fog.
"What's going on?"
"The sea is foggy." Several players in Fishoni City watched in amazement at the fog that had risen without warning, and they didn't know why.
What they didn't know was that in the middle of the fog, fifty-three warships were slowly approaching their harbor.
The screech of artillery pierced the sky, countless shells fell into the harbor and exploded, and each of the dreadnought-class battleships was hit by dozens of shells, and before they could turn around and fight back, they were sunk by the guns.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack!" The sound of sirens swept over the entire city, and the players in the city quickly arrived at the designated place, and they looked towards the sea, only to see fifty or sixty warships lined up on the sea, shelling the city of Fishoni with naval guns.
Thousands of naval guns spewed tongues of fire, gunpowder smoke filled the air, and countless shells fell on the shipyard, which instantly exploded into smithereens, like fireworks.
The ships approached Fishoni and began shelling Fishon, the cannonballs striking the city's magical protective barrier with a muffled tom-tom sound before disappearing into invisibility.
The cannons of the walls at the head of Fishoni began to fight back against the Luna fleet.
"Zeus, the city of Phishoni has been attacked." Athena said.
"I see it." Zeus said with a blank face.
"What are we going to do? The city of Fishoni should not be able to stop the bombardment of so many warships. Athena asked, if Xiang Qi's fleet continued to bombard, the city of Fishon, which they had worked so hard to build, would be finished.
"We have three options, one is to send a small number of Dreadnought-class warships to deal with them, I'm afraid this is exactly what the moon god is ploying and will be eaten by the main force of the moon god. One is to send all the fleets up and eat these fifty-three Celestial-class battleships. The third is to ignore them at all and abandon Fishon, but let them pay some price and destroy a few of their maritime cities. Zeus said.
"The second one." Athena said, she was a little reluctant to give up Fishoni City, it was an important sea transit station for them, and the strategic location of Fishonia City was extremely important.
"No, you should choose the first one." Zeus shook his head and said, "To borrow a phrase from the Chinese, soldiers are not tired of deceit." ”
Athena nodded suddenly, Zeus wanted to command a small part of the fleet to besiege Xiang Qi's fifty-three Celestial-class battleships, lure out Xiang Qi's main force, and then annihilate them in one fell swoop.
Fishoni City, under the fierce bombardment of fifty-three Celestial-class warships, Fishoni City's urban magic protection enchantment is already a little crumbling, and the protective enchantment energy built by a large number of B-rank energy crystals is already in a state of overdraft. Even if it wasn't broken in the end, the U.S. had to spend millions of gold coins to rebuild the defenses of Fishon.
The fleet of the American service was launched, and a total of more than a hundred Dreadnought-class battleships were ready to go to rescue Fishoni City, but as soon as they were halfway through, Xiang Qi's Tianshen-class battleships had already withdrawn.
Zeus, Athena and the others looked at each other, could it be that Xiang Qi's fleet just ran away after being so disturbed?
Soon, the island of Nidia in the deeper part of the Pacific Ocean was shelled by the Luna fleet, and it was still the fifty-three Celestial-class warships.
"What do the people of the moon want to do?" Hephaestus asked sullenly, saying that the moon god's actions were too confusing.
"They seem to be preparing to go deep into our hinterland?" Zeus frowned, could it be that these fifty-three Celestial-class battleships were not bait released by the moon god at all, but were sent by the moon god to specifically disturb the hinterland of the United States? If these fifty-three Celestial-class warships had been making trouble in the hinterland of the United States, their rear would have to be thrown into chaos.
Xiang Qi's main force also had to defend the rear base of the Moon God, and it was impossible to follow these fifty-three Celestial-class warships into the rear of the American service!
Zeus felt that his judgment was right, and sent more than a hundred dreadnought-class warships to track down those Celestial-class warships, and as for the other warships, they sailed towards the island of Haddod of the moon god, and more than four hundred dreadnought-class warships began to bombard the city of Haddord. It's a big deal to disturb each other, fight together, and who is afraid of whom.
Half an hour passed, and Zeus's more than 100 Dreadnought-class battleships were behind Xiang Qi's small fleet, only more than 2,000 yards away from the fifty-three Celestial-class battleships.
Zeus never discovered the main force of the moon god, and there was a faint uneasiness in his heart, but he quickly vetoed it. If the main force of the Luna God penetrates deep into the eastern part of the Pacific Ocean, what will happen to the main base of the Luna God? The Luna should not put the big rear that is so well run under his fire. Probably not, Zeus comforted himself.
Xiang Qi's fifty-three Celestial-class battleships appeared on Odyssey Island and began to bombard the city on Odyssey Island, and countless artillery pieces fell with a roar.
Zeus's dreadnought-class battleship hid its tracks and slowly approached Xiang Qi's Celestial-class battleship.
Soon, both sides discovered each other, Xiang Qi's Tianshen-class battleship turned on its horsepower and fled eastward, Zeus hurriedly commanded the more than 100 dreadnought-class battleships to chase after it, blocking all the ways of Xiang Qi's fleet.
Xiang Qi's Celestial-class battleship found that there was no way out, and accelerated in reverse and launched a counter-charge towards Zeus's fleet.
Boom, boom, Zeus, with the range of the dreadnought-class battleship, began a fierce artillery bombardment, and dozens of shells hit a Celestial-class battleship, which caught fire and smoked, and slowly sank.
Xiang Qi was nervous, coordinating Yueming, Yuexiao and others in the team chat.
"Have you confirmed the location of Zeus' main fleet?" Xiang Qi asked.
"Their main force was still having fun at our base just now, and it's at least thirty minutes away from here." Yueming Dao, Zeus's main fleet has destroyed Xiang Qi and six sea cities, they want to draw out the main force of the moon god in this way, and fight the main force of the moon god, but they didn't expect that the main force of the moon god is in the hinterland of the United States at this time, the eastern sea of the Pacific Ocean!
Xiang Qi and Zeus's style of play is completely different, Zeus is bent on fighting with Xiang Qi's main force, destroying the base of the Moon God and occupying more territory, while Xiang Qi's style of play is to ignore the gains and losses of the territory, and try to divide Zeus's troops and annihilate them. There is a certain difference in thinking, so that the strategy adopted by the two to meet the enemy is completely different.
"Come on, get the battle done in twenty minutes." Xiang Qi gave orders to the members of the studio.
Zeus's more than 100 dreadnought-class battleships continued to attack the Moon's Celestial-class battleships, and suddenly, he found that dense red dots appeared in the surrounding field of vision, Zeus's heart jumped, it was the main fleet of the Moon God!
Zeus didn't expect that Xiang Qi would dare to pull the main fleet of the Moon God here, his more than 100 Dreadnought-class battleships had been densely surrounded, the movement speed of the Dreadnought-class battleships could not compare to the Dreadnought-class battleships, it was impossible to run, so he could only make the last resistance and try to consume the Drendia-class battleships of the Moon God.
The more than 300 Celestial-class warships on Xiang Qi's periphery quickly approached Zeus's fleet, and soon entered the 800-yard range, which corresponded with the more than 50 Celestial-class battleships.
Boom, boom, dense artillery sounded, and the two sides began to bombard, and in the artillery fire, one battleship after another sank into the sea. There were more than 400 warships on Xiang Qi's side, and only more than 100 on Zeus's side, occupying an absolute advantage in firepower. Zeus's fleet was quickly swallowed up little by little.
In seventeen minutes, this local war ended in a complete victory for the Luna, and after counting the losses, the US lost one hundred and twenty-six Celestial-class battleships, and the Luna lost thirty-six Tenjin-class battleships. It was a brilliant victory! In addition to the loss of the battleships, the seven medium-sized cities of the Luna were reduced to ruins under the wrath of Zeus.
