042 Taffy Assault
Compared to the morale-boosting human fleet, the deep-sea fleet was in chaos at this time. Although Rudolph hid near the battlefield with his fog ability to command, and was not afraid www.biquge.info of being discovered by the enemy, if the battle situation continued like this, the deep-sea habitat ship would be defeated and retreat, and he would not be able to escape the end of death.
Rudolph, who had just tasted the power of darkness, was not willing to be defeated.
"Maintain your formation and keep fighting back!" Rudolph ordered, "As long as we hold on, we can destroy the enemy!" ”
As a former human admiral, Rudolph is very clear about the principle of the ship's weapons. Although it is not known why Roy's new armor-piercing bullet is so powerful, it is an eternal truth that the more lethal the weapon, the more energy it consumes.
Maybe one or two more salvos, and the ammunition of the four human battleship mothers will be exhausted.
At that point, it will be possible to launch a counterattack.
At this moment, dozens of white tracks suddenly appeared near the deep-sea fleet led by the battleship water ghost, rapidly approaching in a left-right flanking manner.
"Acid torpedo!" Rudolph gritted his teeth.
The acid torpedo is extremely hidden, so when it is discovered now, it is unavoidable.
Rudolph simply ordered the deep-sea perched ships to resist torpedo attacks in order to maintain an artillery battle formation. The four battleships with the new armor-piercing shells were the biggest threat, and the torpedoes were less important.
His judgment was correct.
Accompanied by a series of underwater explosions, seventy percent of the torpedoes fired by the two mine teams hit the target. However, the results achieved were not great, only the heavy patrol Qi Ji who was broken was sunk, and the other two heavy patrol Qi Ji and the battleship water ghost, as well as the expulsion of Qi Ji, caused some damage.
However, the impact and concussion caused by the continuous explosion of the torpedo made it impossible for the deep-sea ships to aim accurately, so that they lost the opportunity.
The four battleships, which had completed loading and aiming first, were the first to launch the third round of artillery bombardment.
Rudolph let out a wild scream, and at the last moment, he used the spell-like ability bestowed by Cthulhu to pull up a black mist that was so dense that it was almost impossible to see through between the two fleets engaged in the same artillery battle.
"Target lost!"
The sudden change surprised Musashi. She wanted to suspend the shelling, but the ship that had been given the order had faithfully carried out the order.
A dense fog of dark chaotic energy can not only obscure vision, but even change the density and resistance of the air. These minor changes reduced the accuracy of the third round of artillery fire of the battlefleet considerably.
Roy thought that this round of artillery bombardment was enough to establish a victory, but who knew that after the dense fog cleared, he found that it only caused the heavy patrol to break one and expel the Qi Ji to sink one. As a deep-sea habitat ship, the damage is still not great.
"Although the number of the deep-sea fleet has been further weakened, I am afraid that to solve the battle, I am afraid that it will have to rely on the hand-to-hand combat of light cruisers and destroyers."
Roy already had a clear judgment of the battle situation in his mind. He ordered Musashi, Yamato, Iowa, and New Jersey to retreat and return to the Zhurong to replenish ammunition. At the same time, as the leader of the mine team, Noshiro and Yatsu began to lead all the destroyers except Roberts, who specializes in air defense, to quickly attack the battleship in the direction of the water ghost.
In the sky, the roar of the propeller and the screech of the jet engine came at the same time.
The second attack wave of carrier-based aircraft released by the carriers has already flown over the battlefield.
Shelling! Lightning strike! Air raid!
Roy wants to use the continuous attack of the sea and air to make the deep-sea fleet never have a chance to breathe!
The two empty mothers in the deep-sea habitat ship have lost the ability to fly carrier-based aircraft because they were hit by four battleships. And the roadbed fighter of the flying field Ji could not arrive in time due to the distance. At this time, battlefield air supremacy is completely in the hands of the human side.
Of the 240 AD-1 Sky Raiders released in the second attack wave, 60 did not carry torpedoes or aerial bombs, but chose to carry six 32-pack rocket launchers.
The power of the rocket is not great, and the armor-piercing ability is close to zero, and even destroyers cannot deal with it. But these weapons have an advantage that torpedoes and aerial bombs cannot match, and that is the excellent incendiary effect!
Although aviation rockets cannot deal with the armor of deep-sea habitat ships, as long as a rocket hits the exposed organic tissue of a deep-sea habitat ship, it can ignite instantly.
Although the pain caused by the flames cannot sink a deep-sea ship, it can greatly disrupt the enemy, causing it to hit and avoid a large decrease, and even make it difficult to enter the battle normally.
Under the command of the aircraft carrier girls, the carrier-based aircraft fiercely pounced on the enemy. Because the artillery bombardment of the battleships weakened the armor of the deep-sea habitat ships, this wave of air strikes caused very desirable results.
The heavy patrol Suhime, who was already wounded, was all sunk, and the remaining three expulsion ships were also injured in various sizes. The flaming deep-sea ships let out a painful scream that almost made the sea tremble.
Finally, when the enemy plane flew away and the flames were extinguished, Rudolph made a desperate, crazy, but completely correct decision.
"Assault on the enemy's carrier fleet!"
Now, among the ships under Roy's command, four battleships have returned to Zhurong because of the empty ammunition. Two mine teams are flanking around. As a result, the six carriers did not have an escort fleet by their side. Moreover, the carrier-based aircraft they released have not yet been recovered, and now they have almost no ability to fight back.
If they were really approached by a battleship water ghost and three expelled Qi Ji within range, I am afraid that the result waiting for them would be one cannon and one after another.
Just when Rudolph gave the order for the whole army to assault and prepare for a crazy fight, the sea surface of the entire theater of operations suddenly began to fill with a white fog.
A sense of unexplained fear hit him, and Rudolph's frantic brain suddenly calmed down.
In the battle of Truk Podi, Roy's wonderful performance of successfully sinking the southern war ghost in the night battle was clearly seen in the integrated war room. The special ability obtained by Cong Yun Gaier also made him quite jealous.
And now, the other party has once again activated this ability. This time, it was Rudolph's turn and his deep-sea perching ship, in a state of confusion where they could not detect the enemy.
Suddenly!
Rudolph saw that on the right side of the deep-sea fleet, three clusters of dazzling light were rapidly approaching. The light was red and blue, and there was a long ribbon of five-star light. From a distance, it looks like there are three dynamic Star-Spangled Banners, fluttering in the wind.
When such a vision appears, it must be that a ship girl has launched a special ability.
Because he had just launched his special ability to interfere with the battleship shooting, Rudolph's magic power was exhausted at this time, and he was powerless in the face of the destroyers that pounced on him.
Cong Yun's special ability "Thunder from the Clouds" weakens the hit rate and armor of the deep-sea habitat ship, resulting in the shells fired at Johnston, Hall, and Herman, none of which hit.
In the historical Battle of Samar Island, the Johnston was once hit by Yamato's 46CM naval guns, and the entire superstructure was completely destroyed, and finally it was heroically sunk.
But in this world, the Yamato-class 46cm naval guns became friendly firepower, causing considerable damage to the deep-sea habitat ships, paving the way to victory for the Taffy trio who launched the final charge!
Launching the "Taffy Triple Star" skill, the three Fletcher-class destroyers who shone all over their bodies and greatly improved their attributes rushed towards the deep-sea fleet with unparalleled bravery. Behind them, there are Noshiro, Yasu, Congyun, Island Wind, Hamagaze, Isokaze, Kasumi, and Morning Frost.
Although they were only petite destroyers, the momentum they exuded made a deep-sea dwelling ship as powerful as the battleship Water Ghost feel a little timid.
The main gun is ready!
Torpedo tubes on!
Shoot it all and leave no stone unturned!
In the relentless attack of the storm, the remaining deep-sea habitat ships that escorted the battleship water ghost were quickly wiped out. This was followed by a fierce siege of the battleship water ghosts.
Previously hit by a new armor-piercing projectile, the battleship water ghost was already injured a lot, and the ship's armor was damaged or cracked in many places. Now the destroyers are attacking its fragile breakdowns, eating away at its durability.
Finally, after nearly ten minutes of siege, Cong Yun sent the battleship to the bottom of the sea with three powerful enhanced acid torpedoes wrapped in electric light.
With the final cry of the deep-sea dwelling ship mixed with reluctance and resentment, the entire sea area of the Gulf of Siam returned to calm.
After nearly a day of fierce fighting, it was already evening. The sunset gradually sinks into the distant horizon, sprinkling a touch of gold all over the sea. The sea is sparkling and brilliant.
Although the smell of gunsmoke in the air has not yet dissipated, witnessing such a beautiful scenery, Roy's tense nerves also relaxed, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Miss Aoba was wrapped in the joy of winning the battle, at this time, like the rest of the people in the general war room, she fell into a wonderful atmosphere, and instead of jumping and jumping and cheering loudly, she silently pointed the camera at Roy, who was quietly looking into the distance.
The sun shone down on Roy, gilding him with a pale golden halo. At this time, the camera freezes, and time seems to stand still. Viewers all over the world have this scene deeply imprinted in their minds through TV, and they also remember Roy, a man who seems to be able to create endless miracles and defeat the deep sea again and again.
With the cheers of victory spread around the globe, Roy found that his mage level was increasing at a breakneck rate.
The names of the shipwives who participated in this naval battle, especially the destroyers and light cruisers, who were originally unknown but shone in the last assault that sank the battleship water ghost, began to appear frequently on television, and quickly became known to every viewer.
Eventually, when Roy felt the surging power in his body finally quiet down, his mage level stayed at level 5 (89%).
