022 The Soul of the Deep

The New European Union (NEU) and HER are located in the heart of the Black Sea.

"General Alain, the HER is almost the same number of ships as our army, but the humanoid weapons they carry are more suitable for land warfare, and they can rely on flying devices to hover in the air, and they lack maneuverability. And our army only needs to fire a round of electromagnetic pulse missiles at the HER front, as usual, to interrupt the enemy's artillery fire that hinders the take-off of our 'partner cavalry'. Take advantage of the mobility of the 'Partner Cavalry' and strike first! ”

Hearing the staff officer's report, Admiral Alain was satisfied. The NEU's "partner cavalry" has an advantage in performance, speed, and air superiority. The only drawback is that it can only take off as a fighter in naval combat, and knowing this, HER will fire a dense stream of low-altitude artillery at the NEU fleet to prevent the "partner cavalry" from taking off.

And the tactic of paralyzing the enemy through electromagnetic pulse missiles to create opportunities for the "partner cavalry" to take off was precisely proposed by Admiral Allan. The Osiris recovers in just five seconds after being attacked by an electromagnetic pulse, but that's because the Osiris is the most advanced warship. It takes tens of seconds or more for the HER ship's electronics to return to operation, and by that time, the "partner cavalry" has already been killed in front of them.

"HER fired!"

"Not a long memory, an electromagnetic pulse missile salvo!"

Admiral Alain gave the order, and NEU's EMP missiles rained down on HER's front. The HER was only able to intercept a small number of missiles and soon fell into a state of paralysis of the entire army.

"Fellow cavalry attack!"

"Fellow cavalry attack!!"

After the rain of missiles, there were companion cavalry leaping out of the deck, shooting at her like a rain of white arrows.

"Your tactics are brilliant, Your Excellency!"

In the face of the staff officer's praise, Admiral Alain's expression did not change in the slightest, but his heart was still very proud.

"Your Excellency, three destroyers on the left flank have been sunk!"

"Why didn't you report it earlier?"

"Your Excellency the Admiral, the report has just been sunk!"

"What?"

Alain thought that the damage was due to HER's initial artillery fire, but now HER's fleet should be paralyzed...

"That's not right..."

Admiral Alain remembered something, something that made his hair stand upside down, but his expression remained calm.

"Order the whole army to sonar to ask for the enemy, and report to me immediately if you find something!"

"Report, left-wing sonar detected several objects in the water moving in a regular manner, and it is not a submarine in terms of volume."

"Report, another destroyer has been sunk!"

"Is the object in the water similar in size to a humanoid weapon?"

"Uh... Yes, Your Excellency, how do you know? ”

A drop of cold sweat broke out from the corner of Admiral Alain's forehead.

A few days ago, the "Phoenix" crashed on a small island in the territory of the New Moscow Principality (TPM), after which the pilot submitted a report that a newly developed underwater humanoid weapon of the HER was found on the island, and that the electromagnetic pulse missile was ineffective against it.

Admiral Alain read the report, which mentioned that three of the four HER newly developed underwater humanoid weapons had been destroyed. Alan thought that these underwater bodies that were not afraid of electromagnetic pulse attacks were still in the testing stage, and four should be the upper limit, but he didn't expect that there were far more HERs than those four.

“… Do you know how many enemies there are in the water? ”

"At present, it is judged to be about 6 planes."

"There are only six..."

This number is not bad, although he has not yet thought of a way to prevent the smelting of humanoid weapons in the water, but six humanoid weapons will not be able to set off too much storm in a short period of time, and NEU's "partner cavalry" formation is now also attacking HER's fleet. It remains to be seen whether the arrow from the sky will kill the enemy first, or whether he will be destroyed first by the speargun fired from under the water by HER.

The most important thing in this battle is whether or not the Crimean peninsula can be taken.

The Osiris flew a kilometer close to the eastern shore of the Black Sea, and from the ship you could see the heavy artillery line set up by the Novomoscovy Principality (TPM) on the eastern coast.

"It's no wonder that HER doesn't dare to provoke TPM, and if you want to pass through these lines of defense without damage, you can only smash nuclear bombs."

The pilots of the Osiris were all on standby in the hangar, but they were still far from the defensive line into the Crimean peninsula, and Bart and the others gathered to watch the scenery outside through the screen.

Anton sprayed wax on his head as he walked over and said, "What are you doing!" Not yet on standby on their respective bodies. ”

"Boss, you are the one, and you are still spewing wax before the war?"

"You know what, I don't fix my hairstyle, it obstructs my vision when I snipe."

Anton's hairstyle is modeled after a star named Leonardo a hundred years ago, Leonardo when he was young.

"I can't imagine that the 'White Eagle' who makes HER frightened should care so much about his hairstyle."

The reporter trio was also mixed in the driver, and seeing Anton's "beauty-loving" appearance, Sima Qian couldn't help but ridicule.

"This is the hangar! The war is about to start, and the irrelevant personnel leave immediately. ”

"We're going to record what the crew of the Osiris looked like before the battle, don't you agree?"

"I'm only limited to you to shoot for 10 minutes, you've already run out of time, let me leave!"

The trio of reporters reluctantly loaded the equipment and left the hangar, and the crew members who had gathered together dispersed in a hurry. Lin Ao was about to go back to the cockpit, but he was held down by Anton.

"What's wrong?"

"You're nervous, aren't you?"

Lin Ao blinked: "How do you know?" ”

"You recruits, you all walked the same way before the war."

"I'm sorry, I haven't experienced such a big battlefield..."

Anton patted him on the back: "Don't be nervous, remember not to rush too far when you fight, just hide behind and shoot." ”

"Are you the same as the sergeant?"

Anton punched Lin Ao in the face: "Bastard boy, I'm sniping!" Can it be called hiding? The war will start in a while, you charge with Team A for me! “

"You're not being reasonable, are you?"

The Osiris did not attack the Crimean Peninsula alone, it was also underwater with 4 submarines of the NEU. Bard's squad of "buddy cavalry" was also on the submarine.

Luke, the pilot of the Phoenix, was also participating in the Battle for the first time, and he was now in the cockpit of the Phoenix, which was fixed to the deck of the submarine Swordfish, which meant that he was in the water. Although the Phoenix's oxygen supply system was fine, Luke still felt some difficulty breathing because it was in the sea.

"The psychological effects are horrible, I have to think of something else to distract me."

Luke pulled out a book on mechanics and tossed it aside without turning two pages.

"How long will it take!"

At this time, Brigadier Billy's communication came in:

"All attention, submarine sonar has detected an unidentified object in front of us, which is moving towards us, all on alert."

Luke swallowed, his hands gripping the joystick tightly. He had heard his fellow team members scare him by saying that there were sea monsters in the Black Sea.

The objects spotted on the sonar were getting closer and closer to them, and the captains of the submarines were ready for each other to get closer to each other for another 100 meters to give it a taste of torpedoes.

30、50、80… 100 meters up! Four submarines fired a salvo of torpedoes at an unknown object, but they did not hit a single shot.

"Captain Antoine, the unidentified object has picked up speed!"

Captain Antoine of the Swordfish immediately reported the information to Brigadier Billy, who in turn informed Luke of the information.

"Luke, do you remember what you saw on the shipwrecked island?"

"Could it be... Brigadier Colonel, please inform the submarines not to approach the humanoid weapon alone! ”

Approaching them from the water was none other than Warrant Officer Lawn of HER, who had escaped from the island earlier. A total of 10 HER underwater humanoid weapons, "Trireth", were newly developed in order to compete for the earth's seas, and a total of 10 units were distributed to the European theater. A few days ago, Warrant Officer Lawne attacked TPM port with four of them, only to be destroyed by Luke and Lynn Ao.

Warrant Officer Lawn had always been concerned about this, and he risked being shot to break away from the fleet, intending to circle from the eastern shore of the Black Sea to Trabzon to attack the Osiris parked there, and avenge the death of his comrades.

"NEU's fleet and the Osiris were all bumped into by me! Dechen, Dennis and Reuben, you wait for me to avenge you! ”

Warrant Officer Raune maneuvers Terry Reeth approaching NEU's submarine at full speed. In the face of his aggressive attack, the submariners could only fire torpedoes at Lawne, and now turn around, exposing the more vulnerable flanks to the enemy.

"No, Brigadier Billy, I suggest that your 'fellow cavalry' formations take to the skies and leave this sea!

"That's all it can be..."

"Quasi-Colonel! The Phoenix is now in fighter mode and can fight in the water, allow me to stay! ”

Faced with Luke's request, Billy had a hard time deciding. Indeed, in the face of much more flexible underwater humanoid weapons, the four carrying submarines basically had no power to fight back. But if the "Phoenix" is destroyed in the water, it will be more than worth the loss ...

"Brigadier!"

"I see... But I'll only allow you to fight in the water for five minutes. In five minutes, whether or not the enemy plane is shot down, you have to fly it out for me! ”

"Yes!"

Eleven companion cavalrymen flew out to sea, while Luke's "Phoenix" followed the Swordfish to meet "Terryth".

Lawn and the submarine group still got closer, and under his control, "Triris" turned around the sea like a bloodthirsty sea monster. One submarine was sunk by him at close range with a "speargun cannon", and the other was paralyzed by the electric harpoon of "Trireth" ...

"The Swordfish stops moving! Stop moving forward! ”

Captain Antoine stopped his submarine in time, and now it is like sending meat to the tiger's mouth.

"Luke, can you hear me?"

"Here, Captain, what do you command?"

"Listen, you pilot the 'Phoenix' to lurk below, and wait until the enemy's humanoid weapon approaches the Swordfish before you attack."

"But..."

"It's an order!"

Antoine asked the other submarine to retreat at the same time, and he turned to face the entire crew: "I'm going to make the Swordfish a decoy, you all go to the escape pod, I'm going to live and die with this ship!" ”

"Captain, we..."

"Don't talk nonsense! NEU also needs you to continue to fight against HER's aggression, get out! ”

"We will never forget you!"

The officers and men of the Swordfish were in tears and saluted Antoine one after another.

Luke also understood what Antoine was going to do, and he wiped the tears from his eyes and focused on the front of the Swordfish.

The Swordfish fired a torpedo as it rushed towards Lawn, who praised him: "The captain of this submarine is a man, but you are all going to be underwater ghosts today!" ”

Terry Reth cocked his electric harpoon and headed for the Swordfish. As his electric harpoon pierced the Swordfish, Luke fired a laser.

"I can't go back to the universe with Janis anymore..."

With the explosive flames of "Trireth" and the Swordfish, "Phoenix" rushed out of the sea.

"Brigadier Colonel, Captain Antoine, he..."

"I see, he's good."

Billy. Bud looked to the northwest, and the outline of the Crimean peninsula became clearer and clearer.
