"I knew you wouldn't hesitate to blow up the ship." Scarlet Rose said as she took the map of the explosive point, "The underwater demolition team is ready, and we can go right away." β
"Let's get started."
The Guild's Steel Claws and Jet Skis from Atlantis are great underwater vehicles, with our players using Steel Claws and specially trained NPCs using underwater scooters carrying large amounts of explosives towards the marked ships. I didn't consult the Americans at all, because it wasn't necessary. They won't know who attacked them, and it's completely understandable that there were "accidental injuries" in such battles.
A total of 37 blast points required blasting, 29 of which were American warships. It took the underwater team more than 10 minutes to find the points, and then it took another 10 minutes to load the ships with bombs, and we lost a demolition team in the process, but this did not affect the completion of the work.
After getting the signal to complete, I stood on the top of the Great White Shark and looked at the floating island-like group of warships on the sea, True Red helped me hold the detonation control board, and Scarlet Rose helped me hold the detonation sequence diagram next to me. The Children of the Night stood behind me with the head of the Seratis, and Yellowstone, ready to see how I solved the problem, and the members of the Seratis, who still did not know our plans.
I picked up the communicator: "Attention to all the warships of the Frost Rose Alliance, I am the leader of the Purple Sun, and now I issue a first-level battle order." All the ships entered an engaged state, the full gun doors were loaded, the submarine forces dived to the depth of battle, and five minutes later the battle began. β
Scarlet Rose pointed to the illustration and explained to me, "This is the sequence diagram that Issinger has passed over, and it will blow up these two points first, and then here." Somi said that after exploding at this point, it would have to wait for it to sink completely before detonating the point below. Then the group of battleships will begin to regain some liquidity, and at this point the remaining points will be blown out to ensure that the fleet is completely dispersed. β
"Okay, I see. True red, you help me time it. Sue sΓΉ Chuang King, he is in charge of the battle sequence, and I am in charge of the Great White Shark and the Great White Shark's escort fleet. β
"Understood."
FΓΌhrer Seratis, who was looking at us from behind, was obviously quite surprised, but he was not too exaggerated, and the old man was calmer after all. Huang Shi, a hairy boy, doesn't have the kind of cultivation of his father, and he is quite excited to jump around.
"Ziri, you are so handsome. Is such a large fleet all yours? Huangshi asked me excitedly.
The Children of the Night replied for me, "This is part of the power of our guild. Because the defense of the homeland also needs a navy, it is impossible to send them all. β
"It's an exaggeration."
I looked at the timer and picked up the communicator again: "Attention the whole fleet, the last minute countdown, in a moment I will blow up a few concentration points in the mixed fleet and collapse the entire fleet group." The battleships of the Americans and the Japanese will completely disperse in ten to twenty minutes, and I ask you to open fire as soon as you find an opportunity during this period. You are free to fire if you have a good word about your technology, and I will help you deal with the aftermath if you accidentally injure your American allies. But it's best not to get me in too much trouble. β
"Haha, you're bad enough, President?" I didn't know that the post captain came to such a sentence on the communication machine, and there was a lot of laughter in the local channel.
"Which bastard is talking nonsense, beware of going back and I'll let you clean the toilet of the god of the country." My scolding was louder and louder. I waited for them to finish laughing before continuing, "Okay, okay, let's go back and start the joke." The countdown of ten seconds before the detonation was all on point, and I tried not to hit the American battleship.
VII. VII. ...... Three, two, one, detonation. β
I quickly pressed a control crystal, and there was a muffled sound in the battleship group, not much movement, and no fire. The underwater blast was obscured by the hull of the ship, the flames were barely visible, and the sound was not very loud because it came from underwater. But the power of the explosion was indeed on display, and the bombed ship suddenly jumped upwards and then sank down the middle, the bow and stern of the ship cocked, and the battleship quickly slid down to the surface. From the binoculars, a large group of players and NPC sailors can be seen slipping from the deck into the water, and the scene is extremely tragic.
Press the second set of crystals again, and then two ships explode at the same time and begin to sink, this time the charge is far behind, the battleship first sinks stern, then begins to roll on the sea, and finally completely turns its belly there. The red bottom of the ship held on for a short time and began to sink to the surface, and some of the people who did not have time to swim away all sank with the battleship to the pitch-black bottom of the sea.
Press it to activate the third set of crystals, and another series of explosions will blow up several battleships at the same time, and the wreckage will not be able to maintain balance at all, and it will tumble and sink into the sea. There were suddenly a few more big edges in the battleship group, and some battleships immediately moved their positions, and then the battleships on the periphery began to move outward, and the battleships inside also gained room for adjustment and began to disperse, and the whole frame really began to loosen.
Sumi's calculation is correct, just blow up the center point to loosen the battleship group.
I picked up the ship's internal communication machine and ordered: "Dive to the depth of battle." β
The exit of the Great Jaws is the shark's mouth, and it would be difficult for the battleship to get out without letting this part of the water out, so we floated high at first. It's dangerous for us to do this during the battle, so we can sink a little bit as long as the battle platform is on the water.
A string of bubbles quickly rose around the Great White Shark, and the battleship began to rapidly shallower downward.
I detonated a few more battleships, and the fleet immediately moved even harder, some of the battleships were completely separated, and some of them even began to bombard them with secondary guns at close range.
"Over there." I quickly pointed to a Japanese battleship: "Rose, order the shelling." Our angle is just enough. β
Scarlet Rose quickly picked up the microphone: "Artillery fire control room, request shelling, the target has been marked on the synchronization monitor." β
"What is a sync monitor?" The head of the Seratiss clan asked.
"That's it." Rose patted a small instrument beside her. "This picture shown above will appear between the command post and the artillery room at the same time, and we can see it below the target drawn on it. Because the picture is exactly the same, the speed and accuracy of combat command are improved. β
"Sure enough, it's an advanced instrument."
As he spoke, a small door opened on the side of the Great Jaw's shark fin, and a giant weapon came out. This thing looks similar to a normal cannon, but the barrel is very elongated.
I saw the tip of this weapon light up. A ray of light hit the target ship. The ray doesn't end all at once, it's getting brighter and brighter.
Rumble. A small fireball rose from the target in the distance, and the ship's conning tower had turned into a pile of molten iron. The rays slowly taper and dim again, finally extinguishing completely. The FΓΌhrer of Serlatis didn't say anything this time, but Huangshi jumped excitedly and applauded.
I turned to True Red and said, "Activate the rest of the explosions." β
True Red immediately pressed all the crystal switches, and a string of sparks rose in the fleet group, and the chaotic formation completely fell apart, and the fleet began to expand outward. If we continue in this direction, we should be able to get rid of it completely.
After ten minutes of waiting, the fleet dispersed. The sea was at least in order, but things didn't go the way I thought. For some reason, the American battleships seemed to be underpowered, and the Japanese battleships came out before the Americans when they got out of the chaos. King Chuang rushed up with our advance fleet, intending to meet the American warships. Unexpectedly, he crashed into a Japanese battleship first. Without saying a word, the two sides fired head-on, and the official artillery battle suddenly began without warning. There was a rumbling sound on the surface of the sea. The artillery battle was much more intense than the hand-to-hand combat scene.
I turned from the tower and walked to the edge of the stairs: "Rose, I'll leave it to you." The Great White Shark is not a battleship. It's better not to get involved in the official battle, you guys go back a little, it's better to dive a little deeper. I went to command aboard the Poseidon. β
"Take me with you." Huang Shi looked at me and asked.
I looked at the FΓΌhrer of Seratis, and he didn't seem to mean to stop it. "Well, follow me, don't leave me. True Red and the Children of the Night, will you follow me or stay here? β
"I'll go to the commander over there." True Red pointed to another battleship.
The Child of the Night said, "I'd better follow you." β
I stepped onto the Poseidon with the Children of the Night and Yellowstone, and then the Great White Shark slowly began to dive and slowly retreated some distance. This kind of very different naval battle is a typical multi-handedness, and I don't want anything wrong with the Great White Shark.
I stood in the command room of the Eternity and picked up the communicator: "Attention to the Great White Shark Escort Fleet, I am Purple Sun, and now I am in command. The fleet unfolded in the shape of a goose, taking care to maintain the formation, all the energy guns began to be reloaded, and the artillery was temporarily on standby. β
Huang Shi asked curiously, "Why don't you reload the artillery?" β
"The Japanese warships are not completely close, we are not sure what kind of ammunition is suitable for the time being, if it is wrong, it will be troublesome to withdraw again, and we have automatic loaders, and the temporary reloading speed is also very fast."
"I see."
The fleet of the king in front of him and the Japanese fleet that rushed out first had come into contact, and it could be seen from the neat formation of the Japanese fleet that their fighting conditions were much better than those of the Americans. The U.S. fleet was in a mess, but the Japanese fleet formed small temporary detachments on the chaotic sea. Although the large corps was more conducive to fighting, now everyone was in chaos, and the small fleet was already the limit of the capabilities of the Japanese.
Relying on the advantage of range, the fleet led by King Chuang took the lead in firing at the Japanese, and the first round of shelling was mainly the main gun and the magic light cannon, which were very powerful, and almost directly killed several large warships of the Japanese fleet. The Japanese did not slow down after receiving a round of blows, and the fleet of King Chuang immediately fired a second round of fire. This time the guns of both sides opened fire at the same time, and by the time our fleet fired the second round, they were already in range.
"Dodge!" King Chuang ordered loudly. Our fleet immediately began to maneuver on the sea, and a displacement column was raised on the side of the battleship. The accuracy of the shelling of Little Japan has always been exaggerated, but we never know why they hit so accurately.
"Report the loss." When King Chuang saw the end of the first round of shelling, he immediately asked the first mate.
The first mate quickly inquired in front of the communication machine and then turned around and said, "The battle cruiser Takanawa was shot in the bow battery, and I request to turn to the tail cover group in advance." The rest of the battleships remained largely undamaged. β
"Reply to Takanawa to agree to their request."
"Yes." The first mate quickly relayed the order to the communicator.
Immediately after a round of shelling of Japanese battleships on the sea, several special warships accelerated out of the formation. These bunnies dare to play tricks at this time. The shape of those battleships was like a cauldron upside down on the sea, with no protrusions on the smooth top, and the extremely large inclination of the battleship hull made the battleship quite low, if it were not for the distance. It's almost time to lose the angle of fire.
King Chuang immediately ordered the battleship group to shoot at these battleships first, once the distance approached a certain limit, it would no longer be able to get enough angles to bombard, and then it would be dangerous. Immediately after receiving the order, the ships began to return fire, but the situation was very bad. The first shell hit the shell of the battleship and immediately ricocheted, and only a spark was scratched on the shell, which was bounced up and exploded in mid-air, leaving only a cyan mark on the shell of the battleship.
"What a hard shell!" The gunner who fired the gun was shocked when he saw the shelling.
The chief of the bombardment slapped him: "It's not a matter of material, the shell is too oblique and not stressed at all." β
The sound of breaking into the king's land suddenly sounded in the shelling room: "All gun positions are equipped with condensation shells." β
"Understood."
Shelling long pulled the cannon door. The half-ton shell slid out on its own due to gravity. The loader catches the shell and places it in the fixed slot on the wall, and the off-hand operates another semi-automatic loader to push the new shell into the chamber. The gun commander quickly closed the gun door and pressed the calibration switch, and the gun emcourse automatically rotated to track the target according to the ground signal of the ship's fire control room.
"Fire." King Chuang's voice reappeared.
The gun commander pulled the handle hard, and there was an immediate muffled sound in the shelling room. A shell flew to the target. But this time there was no spark. As soon as the shells touched the turtle-like shells, the shells of the battleships exploded, and a large area of blue liquid erupted. As soon as the blue object spread out, it began to smoke. The white steam steamed up like a fire. The hull of the battleship was quickly covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and large flakes of broken ice appeared on the surface of the nearby sea. This is the Guild's special artillery shell condensation shell. The liquid at the bottom boiling point is rapidly transpired and instantly rammed the temperature of the local area.
King Chuang ordered again: "All main guns are loaded with explosive armor-piercing shells." β
The gun commander in the bombardment room opened the cannon door, because the second round was reloaded too quickly, and the smoke in the gun chamber had not been completely smoked, and a puff of gunpowder smoke entered the room, but the players and NPCs here didn't care about this.
The loader quickly pushed a shell with a yellow warhead into it, and the gunner, after closing the door, began to wait for orders.
"Fire."
Boom, this time the shells are all blasting warheads, and they are very powerful. The ultra-low temperature freezing had made the shells of those battleships brittle like raw glass, and although the shells were still being bounced, the shock wave of the high-explosive warhead detonation at close range still completely destroyed the frozen area. The steel plates hung with hoarfrost burst like glass, and the internal structure of the battleship was completely exposed.
King Chuang shouted, "Load all angled gun emplacements with long-lasting incendiary bombs, aim at those holes, and fire them as soon as they are done." β
This time there is no need to give the order to open the cannon, as long as the shells are loaded, you can fire. The operators of all gun emplacements quickly pulled the doors open, and a shell with a red bullet was pushed into the chamber. Immediately afterwards, because of the difference in skill proficiency, the sound of shelling sounded one after another. A reddish cannonball flew through a large hole in the tortoiseshell battleship and into the hull, then detonated by a small bomb embedded in it.
As soon as the bomblets exploded, the shells outside immediately disintegrated, and the yellow oily substances were sprayed everywhere, and these yellow substances began to burn as soon as they touched the air, and the flames jumped up instantly. The turtle shells on the surface of the sea did not stop, and it took some time for the flames to destroy the battleship, but the gaps and all the places where the battleship could be left were automatically opened. A large number of Japanese covered in fire screamed and crawled out of the battleship and jumped into the sea, but this yellow substance is insoluble in water and has a good stickiness, so if you stick to it, you can't get down. Diving does extinguish the flame, but this thing burns when it sees air, unless you don't get out of the water. Otherwise, no matter how long you've been down there, you'll burn up again as soon as you pop up.
The screams of the burning men on the surface of the sea were at the bottom of the break, and finally turned into a charred corpse floating on the sea. After losing all their crews, the turtle-hull battleships continued to advance for several hundred meters, and suddenly there were explosions one after another, and the high temperature finally caused the fuel and ammunition in the ship to be destroyed. Although the hulls of these battleships were resistant to external shocks, the internal explosion it was powerless. None of the turtle shell battleships could get into the dead end of the artillery fire, and they were finished.
The Japanese probably intended to rely on such battleships for penetration, but they did not expect our shells to be so fierce. However, although these ships did not come into contact with our ships, we missed three salvos for their sake, and the Japanese ships took the opportunity to get close and began a second round of shelling.
As soon as the cannon on the Japanese side went off, King Chuang shouted: "Urgently avoid." Note that the resistance fleet moved instantly. But this time it's too close to dodge so well. The shells were as dense as raindrops. The battleship group under the command of King Chuang was subjected to covering fire, and many battleships were shot in an instant. King Chuang took advantage of the shaking of the Tyrant on the ground and quickly stabilized it, and King Chuang knew that there was no time to prepare for a salvo. "Inform all ships to return fire nearby and launch freely."
"Ships are free to return fire." The first mate conveys the command to the communicator. Irregular shelling immediately began in the fleet.
Because of the shelling on our side, the shelling on the Japanese side quickly followed the mess.
The salvo is usually very powerful. But that must ensure the coordination of the whole fleet, and if you still insist on using a salvo at such a close distance, then I am afraid that the only chance for a salvo is that after all the battleships are sunk, there is still one battleship left to fire a salvo by itself and on its own.
In the middle of the sea. The Americans finally relented and began sporadic shelling. The Japanese shelled quickly and accurately, but the American artillery fire was chaotic, but fortunately, there was a large difference in numbers between the two sides, and the Americans were not suppressed.
Suddenly, the voice of King Chuang rang from the communication machine on my side. "Purple sun, nine o'clock."
As soon as I turned my head, I saw a fleet leaving the combat area, and it looked like there were quite a few of them. "How did the Japanese fleet escape?"
"The Americans were responsible for that paragraph, how do I know how they did it! It looks like that's the main force of Japan, please go and block it, I'm stuck by the fleet here. β
"Got it." I cut off the communication and called the first mate. "Little Japan wants to learn how to dock the tail of a gecko. Order the Great White Shark convoy to turn around and chase the fleeing Japanese main force. After thinking about it, I connected to the command room of the Great Jaws again: "Rose, follow us, you don't show your head, just support us with torpedoes and long-range beam cannons below." β
"Understood."
Terry's fleet had been crouching outside like me at first, but now they saw my convoy turn abruptly and immediately followed. The communicator on my ship rang suddenly. "Ziri, is that you?"
"Terry? How did you have my guild's telegraph? β
"Didn't you give it to me?"
"I gave it to you? It seems like I'm just here to get in touch with you, didn't my people take it with me? β
"I told them I needed to contact you at sea and ask them to leave the plane on my ship." Terry abruptly changed the subject: "What are you turning to?" β
"The main force of the Japanese wants to run."
"How can I not see."
"Your position is just obscured, and you can see it a little further ahead."
"Then I'll chase after you."
"Okay."
Terry is very smart and knows that I never suffer, so he is with me so that if I have any benefits, he will definitely be able to make some gains, but he may not be able to get benefits by following me this time. The fleet that escaped was almost more than 400 warships, and although the number was less than a quarter of the total number of ships, it was all elite large warships, and they seemed to have towed a cargo ship, and it was estimated that the most valuable things were on that ship.
The Japanese battleships left behind were very stubborn and stuck the American and King Chuang's warships in place, and only the 130 or so warships of our side and the underwater Jaws and Terry's fleet of 100 warships were chased out. We may be at a disadvantage in terms of the number of ships alone, but we have the Great White Shark underwater, and it has at least a hundred ships per one. Therefore, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, we are slightly better than the Japanese.
Today is destined to be a chaotic day, and nothing has gone according to my plan since the Japanese were caught in a trap designed by me. Originally, when the main Japanese force fled, King Chuang and I meant that I would first entangle that fleet, and then wait for King Chuang and them to get rid of the Japanese fleet over there, and then come back to help us encircle and kill this escaped Japanese elite fleet. But the reality is that King Chuang couldn't get out, and they themselves were entangled in the melee group. Terry's reinforcements could have made up for the problem, but now the situation has changed.
Now the Japanese fleet is running ahead, and I am pursuing the Great White Shark and its escort fleet behind, with Terry following us. Our guild's warships are very fast, and the propulsion technology of Atlantis, combined with the technology learned from the Octopus and Jaws, makes our warships extremely fast, and no warship of any country can outrun our warships. The Japanese warships are also very fast, but they are not our opponents, and the speed difference makes us chase closer and closer, but the problem is that the speed of Terry's fleet behind is not as fast as the Japanese fleet. I just remember chasing the Japanese, and I completely forgot that there was a Terry behind me.
After several hours of chasing and the sky began to turn yellow, we finally caught up with the Japanese fleet.
The Japanese fleet knew that if they ran any longer, they would only be wiped out one by one from behind, so they simply turned around and attacked us. I was happily preparing for a decisive battle with the Japanese when I suddenly realized that only we were stabbed in the surrounding sea, and Terry's fleet was gone. Damn, the Great White Shark can indeed fight a hundred, but I'm not going to let it fight hard! Besides, even if the Great White Shark is gone, we add up to the combat strength of more than 200 warships. Even if our battleships are more powerful than the Japanese ones, two hundred against four hundred will definitely not be able to win.
I hurriedly said to the correspondent: "Contact the American fleet that will follow us immediately." "Terry still has a telegraph in his hand, and as long as it's not far away, we won't have a problem delaying it for a while. Although we only have half the combat strength of the Japanese, it is not said that we can defeat them by fighting.
My abacus is good, but it's a pity that God is always bent on making trouble for me. The correspondent replied very simply: "The communication machine left in the American guild has no energy because it has been turned on for a long time, and no one in their guild will use the crystal tong machine, and that thing is the patent of our guild." Shura Ziyi adjusted the frequency of the communication machine to Terry according to my requirements, and there were no technicians, so Terry and they can communicate directly at the screen, and they don't know that this thing should be adjusted to the standby state to save energy if it is not used, and now it's okay, and it can't be contacted at the critical moment. I don't know if Terry is chasing in the right direction, what if they go astray? Do you want us to fight the Japanese like this? I worked so hard to devise such a plan, but in the end, I was surrounded by other people!
