Chapter 477: The Naval Battle Begins
"Launch!"
The order to attack was given in a firm tone, and the enemy still did not react, and Vernon knew that this victory still belonged to Britannia. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
But he was doomed to be disappointed, countless cannonballs with whistling tail flames shot into the dim sky, bringing up a long parabola, but just as he was about to hit the terrified enemy, all the shells strangely exploded in midair, only a few fragments with flames fell on the warships of the Chinese Federation, Vernon held the binoculars and stayed for a while, making sure that he was not mistaken, and the imperative attack all failed.
Shell failure? The secret weapon? Or is it something else?
Vernon stood in the command room of the main ship, the wind began to roar like a devil, the long-brewing rain poured from the sky, dripping on the glass in front of him, and also knocked on his heart, although he knew that this was a period of explosive growth in technology, but he had never seen a shell fired explode before hitting the enemy for so many years of fighting in the ocean, but he knew very well that he was the backbone of the entire army, and he could not show the slightest panic no matter what.
"Keep attacking and find out why!"
Vernon pulled out a delicate tin box from his uniform, took out the last remaining cigar from it, lit it and washed the smoke deep into his lungs, which calmed his mood and gave the crew confidence in the image of smoking a cigar.
Another round of shells was fired into the dense rain curtain, and the sea fog, which was gradually fading, slowly dissipated, and this time everyone could see clearly, from the rear of the Chinese Federation Fleet flew almost a single point of fire, and all the shells in mid-air were hit, and the previous situation was repeated.
Machine gun? No, Vernon vetoed his own speculation, no machine gun could boast that density and frequency of fire.
"Will... General, look to the right! ”
At this moment, a detective next to him put down the telescope and anxiously pointed in a direction to Vernon, but he no longer needed his reminder, a huge black shadow like a prehistoric giant beast roared out from the right side of the Chinese Federation fleet, accompanied by a splash of water several meters high along the way, even under the rain curtain can feel the strong oppressive force, some things only need to have volume and speed enough.
"Fire the flares and see what that is."
Vernon was basically sure in his heart that it was a secret weapon, it could be the Chinese Federation, or it could be those mechs who had never seen it, but the unknown was always more terrifying than the known, and now that it had appeared, he believed that Britannia's strong ships and cannons would win the final victory.
Several white flares were fired into the air, and in this world where battlefield detection technology is not very developed, the lighting technology used in night battles has been fully developed, and for a while, several small white suns appeared in the rainy sky, shining on the sea surface under dark clouds and heavy rain.
"Shhhh
There were several irrepressible inhalations from the command room in Britannia, even Vernon himself almost exposed the shock in his face, and every detector with a telescope could see that the shadow that quietly stopped not far from the Chinese Federation was a triangular fortress composed of three huge iron balls, and no matter how such a huge figure traveled at such an astonishing speed, the dense turrets on the iron balls alone made people's hearts gush coldly.
A fortress of war made for the sake of war!
This was the thought of everyone present, including the people of the Chinese Federation, who had just seen with their own eyes how this war fortress shot a dense and terrifying metal storm, intercepting all the enemy shells that had reached mid-air, believing that no matter what kind of mecha it was, it would turn into a real mass of iron mud under that kind of attack.
"This... Is it your country's weapon of war? ”
Li Xingke, who returned to the deck, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, turned to look at a demon guide soldier beside him, who himself had a power far beyond that of a human being, even like a god, plus a terrifying mecha that could fly, and this kind of weapon that made his body cold just by looking at it, if the Chinese Federation was on the opposite side of them, it would be a disaster for the entire country.
"Hmm" The magic guide soldier nodded with a flat expression, "The pilot of that 'three cores' is our sister General Shen, and this time she came to help in a private capacity, so you don't have to do anything, you just need to watch carefully." ”
Slowly exhaling a breath, Li Xingke didn't say anything more, he already had a faint regret in his heart, the tip of the iceberg just revealed by the country of Huaxia has already made them have no right to refuse, it is better to say that being able to become a subject country is the best result, because this is the fate of the weak.
On the other hand, Vernon decided to try the opponent's strength after hesitating again and again, the ammunition required by so many batteries and the load at the start are unimaginable, and there is a certain upper limit to the weapons that any ship at sea can withstand, maybe the other party is just making this appearance? It's possible to use it all foam, and to reduce weight to increase speed.
"The whole fleet is lined up in the third formation! Target the enemy on the right side! Cross Attack! ”
The so-called third formation is to stretch the fleet as long as possible, disperse, and encircle the enemy in the form of encirclement, and at this time, it is used to limit the enemy's speed and dense barrage attacks.
"Just waiting for them to finish?"
Shen Fu drove the mecha cross-legged and sat in the middle of the three cores, hooking his arms to the deck to avoid being thrown out during the acceleration, because he didn't know much about the use of OBJECT in war, so all the manipulation was decided by Shen Xin himself.
"No problem, brother, the 'three cores' have no so-called attack dead spots at sea level, isn't the purpose of this war to deter?"
Shen Xin's virtual full-body image appeared in the lower right corner of Shen Fu's cockpit, in so many large and small wars that she participated in in the Slashing World, she basically decided the specific way of fighting on her own, instead of completely obeying the command as before, I don't know if it was an illusion, Shen Fu suddenly found that her body seemed to have grown slightly.
"That's right." Shen Fu turned his head slightly to look at the enemy, "They're about to start attacking." ”
The quality of Britannia's army was still very good, and from his point of view, the change of formation was very decisive and rapid, even if they remained stationary, they did not let their guard down at all, and the main ship was always under the protection of many ships.
