Chapter 0461 - Volley and firefight
The battleship forward attack group faced two interception groups sent by Sheno, each numbering 8,000 ice giants.
The Ice Giant galloped forward in an S shape on the surface of the sea on the ice floe, and used the sea water to condense a huge ice block to throw at the battleship, which was convenient and fast.
The ratio of fire between the two sides is 1225:16000, and the combination of naval guns and spears on the battleship is considered a point of fire.
The Ice Giant's attack units were more than thirteen times that of the battleship, but the rate of fire was hundreds of times lower, and although the ship's guns needed to constantly adjust their direction when aiming at the target, the Ice Giant still did not have the upper hand due to the numerical superiority, and it did not take long for the battle to lose nearly 1,000 men.
One of the Ice Giants shouted to several of his men around him, "Stop throwing and shoot horizontally!" ”
"Yes! Captain. ”
The ice suspended in front of the ice giants no longer arced towards the battleship, but slammed straight into the battleship, and was struck into ice chips and mist by the bursting armor-piercing projectiles spit out by the ship's guns.
"Still can't hit it!" An ice giant shouted.
The leader quickly moved his position and shouted back, "Defense! Attract firepower! Got it? ”
"Yes."
The ice cubes hit in a straight line are used as temporary shields to keep oneself safe and attract enemy fire, in order to contain the fire point and create conditions for the attack of comrades.
Most Ice Giants still attack by projectile, throwing huge blocks of ice at the high school, causing them to smash into the battleship in a parabolic line.
The battleship battle group still maintained two rows of queues, 12 in front and 13 in the rear.
The 8 ships on both sides of the rear aimed all their firepower at the attacking ice in the air and smashed them all, while the 5 ships in the middle were aimed at the ice giants closest to the fleet group, killing the most threatening targets for the fleet. Provide cover for the attacks of the forward fleet.
The front battleship unleashed its maximum firepower attack on the Ice Giant without protection, and the six battleships on both sides carried out indiscriminate strafing in the predetermined direction, and the middle six ships carried out precision strikes on the Ice Giant.
The warhead from the gun's guns blasted the Ice Golem to pieces, sending out the steam generated by the heat.
I could clearly see that the shattered remnant ice flew backwards, which was caused by the impact of the impact spear, and the ghost soldier who was originally in the ice body did not escape the impact of the impact spear in time. Completely wiped out.
The tactics proposed by the Ice Giant Boss worked in this case, at least surviving longer than the other Ice Giants around him, but in the end, he couldn't escape his fate.
The leader of the ice and snow giant quickly transferred his spirit body after his body burst, extinguished his elemental light, hid his body, and flew wildly in the air in his second form, but saw that the naval guns in the distance were still adjusting their direction to track him, and hurriedly beckoned other ghost soldiers in the same situation beside him, shouting: "Dive underwater!" ”
Just as these ghost soldiers were deep into the water. The battleship fired a torpedo from its side.
The cyan explosion of light not only wiped out the ghost soldiers, but also shattered the ice floe on the surrounding sea, causing the ice giant on the ice floe to fall crookedly into the sea.
The Ice Golem didn't sink much after falling into the water, but the bad thing was that his movement speed dropped considerably, giving the ship a chance to attack, and the chance of being hit skyrocketed.
The torpedo-like miniature submarine began to cooperate with the battleship's attack, constantly causing explosions in the sea, shattering more ice floes under the feet of the ice giants.
After five minutes of fierce fighting, the Ice Giant lost more than 2,400 troops. This number will increase as their strength decreases, and the Combined Fleet side has not suffered the slightest damage.
The top commanders of the two Ice Giant interception groups readjusted their deployments. One group divided the forces into two groups and detoured to the flanks of the fleet to the rear, dispersing the fire that attracted the battleships.
The second group divided its forces into three teams, with the northern team concentrating on attacking the opposing ships in front, the middle lane covering the northern team, and the southern team mainly responsible for attracting enemy attacks.
The Ice Giant's new tactics still didn't show much effect. Although some of the ice smashed into the battleship, it was only strafed by the impact spear during the fall, and although it did not shatter, the impact force was greatly reduced.
The 1st Interception Group encountered the other two battleship battle groups of the Cloud Pavilion at the rear of the fleet, and fell into an even more dangerous situation.
Shen Ge watched the holographic screen showing the battle ahead in the command headquarters. On the left screen are another thirty interception groups that have been sent out, they are still halfway through, there are eight on the eastern front, and the rest are on the western front, and it has not yet been decided whether to intercept the battleships now, depending on the combat effectiveness of the first two interception groups.
On the right screen, there is a real-time communication with Zhang Meng, which shows the latest message from Zhang Meng, whether or not to provide nuclear bomb support now.
Shen Ge wanted to see if his interception group could deal with the battleships, and now that the tentative results of the two interception groups had come out, he had to give those fleets a lethal attack before the two sides officially engaged, and said politely to the holographic screen that communicated with Zhang Meng: "Request for support." ”
"I have 27 nuclear bombs at my disposal, how many will I need for this attack?" Zhang Meng asked.
"8 pieces."
"Do you want to start now?"
"Start now."
"Okay."
Zhang Meng immediately operated the Iron Horse system to launch eight long-range missiles carrying nuclear warheads, and the final attack coordinates would be decided after the missiles reached the area above the area, and informed Shen Ge that they would have to wait 37 minutes before the missiles arrived.
"No problem." Shen Ge turned his gaze to the screen showing the battle ahead, which marked that there were less than 8,000 troops left in the first and second groups of the volley, and instructed them: "Don't fight hard, you are only responsible for pinning them down in that place." ”
"Why don't you let them come back, I'm afraid there won't be any left if it's too late." Concerned about their situation, the Overlord suggested, "I think we can let them retreat to the blockade line and use our floating icebergs as cover to contain those warships together." ”
Shen Ge vetoed: "It's useless, the firepower of these warships is too fierce, and the gathering of our forces will only increase their chances of hitting." ”
Baxia insisted on his opinion, asked Shen Ge to see the situation where the first and second groups were about to be surrounded, and asked, "What should they do?" Don't want it? ”
There is very little sympathy and pity in the ghostly world, and the soldiers who cherish themselves are because they are used as capital.
Shen Ge shook his head slightly, looked at the real-time troop map of the enemy and us displayed on another screen, hesitated for a moment, gave the order to attack the interception groups that were stuck on the halfway, and sent the last four interception groups in his hands to march towards the Eastern Front Fleet.
His Majesty strongly disagreed with Shen Ge's order just issued, reminding him that the Hades Lord's order was to hold this place, not to fight the enemy, and asked Shen Ge to put the enemy near the outermost blockade line.
I haven't tried it, how do you know if this method increases the enemy's hit rate, or can you suppress the enemy's firepower with the advantage of troops? (To be continued.) )
