ACT161: Christmas Eve

The original version of the King Kong, because of the 533mm torpedo launcher, naturally also received training in lightning warfare. But the Japanese Navy soon realized that it was too wasteful to involve a large warship like her in lightning strikes, so it removed the torpedo tubes in the first modernization.

However, the skill of firing torpedoes, King Kong still did not forget jì!

Although the power of the self-made jet torpedo is quite good, the range and speed are very poor, so in battle, light warships are often required to reach a very close distance before they can be launched. The erosion torpedo, on the other hand, has more power, faster speed, and longer range, and has a huge performance advantage. As long as the hit can be guaranteed, taking the original King Kong as an example, 2~3 erosion torpedoes can completely paralyze it.

While the Zhao ship was still nervously preparing, the enemy was also slowly moving behind the republican fleet. Zhao Jian guessed that they were preparing to wait for the rebel fleet to assemble before they acted, so they marched 30,000 kilometers behind the target and entered the "stealth" state again. Zhao Jian asked the system to mark their last position before disappearing, and then ran to the other party's path in advance, ready to intercept.

The praying mantis wants to catch cicadas, but the yellow finch doesn't have to come from behind!

It took more than 1 day for the rebel fleet to finally prepare for battle. The hull of the sisters Alfontso and Canalias had been hastily repaired, and patches of steel were everywhere, but the morale of the ship's mother and crew was high. On the other hand, on the side of the Republican Fleet, although the hull and the ship's mother are in good condition, many of the sailors are rookies, confused and uneasy about the upcoming battle, and there is a hidden fear in their hearts.

The day of the decisive battle was set for December 24, and the rebel commander joked with all the officers and soldiers on the mobilization radio before the departure that we were actually fighting with the enemy for the right to spend Christmas. Then the whole fleet left the harbor under the watchful eye of the German and Italian fleets. Majestic to the front. Not long after they set off, two mysterious warships reappeared.

In the empty space, with a distorted glimmer of light, two huge warships suddenly emerged out of the darkness like ghosts. Then the water traces of the quantum ocean formed on both sides of the hull, and the two mysterious warships slowly moved, like crocodiles lurking underwater, slowly approaching their prey by borrowing the shadow of the planet.

At this time, on these two mysterious ghost warships, a large number of crew members wearing black metal masks were busy at their respective posts. None of the thousands of officers and men on the ship made a noise, and only the sound of various machinery in the cabin was one after another. The discipline of the crew is simply so good that it feels weird!

The two warships were moving slowly at a speed of 12 cosmic knots, and they were ready to wait for the fight to start on that side, and then fight from behind to catch the Republican fleet off guard. But just when they were still 40,000 kilometers away from the target area, several large flares suddenly lit up around them, and they suddenly had nothing to hide.

"I saw them, the target was confirmed, and the battle began!"

Waiting for the rabbit to wait on the way of the other party's advance, Zhao Jian and the others successfully intercepted the other party. A few time-delay flares unilaterally pulled the opponent out of the cover of darkness, safely exposing the silent truth. In front of the King Kong.

Violently exposed the target. The two enemy ships were only slightly flustered, and they did not appear to be too flustered. The Lion-class Queen Mary immediately turned around and moved to the pseudo. The bottom of the King Kong forms a standard cover formation. The main and secondary guns were all turned and aimed around, like a combined hedgehog.

Apparently! The other party plans to kill the interceptor, so as not to wait for a sneak attack, and he will be followed by a "little tail".

"Young Master. The target has been reduced to combat speed, and Xiao Lu and I are ready to shell at any time. ”

"Wait. Wait until half of the bait is lit before you fire. In addition, don't call me young master in wartime, call me Lord Admiral! ”

"Okay, less...... Lord Admiral. ”

At this time, the maintenance station that relied on simulated optical camouflage stealth was lurking in the darkness not far from the ambush point, and this battle plan was independently formulated by Zhao Jian, and almost all the combat power he could use at hand was arranged. After the two enemy ships were exposed, they did not flee immediately, but put on a fighting posture, which played into the hands of the Zhao ship!

Soon located in the upper position of the defense of the pseudo. The King Kong observed a sudden flash of light at six o'clock, and immediately deduced that it might be the fire of the ship's guns. The two ships immediately made evasive actions with an astonishing synchronization rate, and their postures were as graceful as a ballet on water. But after dodging 5 groups of "shelling" in a row, the other party sensed that something was wrong.

They were not shot, they didn't even observe any traces of shells, nothing but a flash of light. At this time, the sixth bright light flashed, and this time the two ships made a very bold move, that is, they did not evade anything. Sure enough! None of the observation positions found any traces of smoke from the shells, and the two ships, realizing that they had been fooled, immediately flew towards the location where the light was emitting, and then found something strange.

What the other party found was a long rope of more than 300 meters, and there were charred black iron barrels on the rope at intervals. But just as they breathed a sigh of relief, the 7th flash lit up, and the two ships that did not evade were both shot after 20 seconds!

used 6 sets of baits to confuse the other party, so that they could be careless, and Zhao Jian won a chance for Hongling to hit a "fixed target". And the other side did not disappoint him, 8 out of 8 rounds of shelling hit the target in 5. King Kong received two shots, and Queen Mary received three shots, one of which hit her oil depot.

Only then did the enemy ships find out that they had underestimated the level of firepower of the interceptors, and that the other side was definitely not Spaniard!

After being hit by live ammunition, the two ships that were hit by the bullets immediately began to return fire, and they first fired a group of flares with their secondary guns in the general direction, and then the King Kong, which was sneaking in the dark, was exposed, and then the two ships separated and wrapped up with each other. Seeing this, Hongling and Xiao Lu immediately used the three-dimensional space of the universe to get rid of the trap, and the two sides shot at each other while moving.

And not long after the battle started on their side, the Spanish and communist fleets on the other side also collided head-on, and Alfontso saw no one else in his eyes, and went straight to his sister Haimei I. Seeing that they were going to come to the "main general", the Canarias sisters simply led the remaining warships to find the other party's destroyers and pick up these "soft persimmons" first.

In this way, the four teams of men and horses were divided into two battlefields, and at the same time launched a battle to the death! (To be continued......)
