ACT309: Desperate Survival

De Fleeter feels like he's been in a state of decay these past few days!

Since taking this secret mission to the Shattered Star Region to search for some "ancient people sample", she and her crew have been "favored" by the plague god, and they have been unlucky all the way from the beginning to the present!

Two weeks earlier, they had encountered a group of suspected Japanese naval fleets on the edge of Satellite Sector 9, and the two sides had set up a posture for an exchange of fire, but they were put on a confrontation by the cunning guys. The British fleet, which arrived later, opened fire without saying a word, and showed a fierce posture of destroying them all.

With his side at an absolute disadvantage, De Fleeter ignored Dr. Harrick's order to "prioritize the pursuit of samples" and immediately led the team to turn around and slip away. However, the British army, who had lost the Blackwater River, was not willing to give up, and followed the running De Fleeter's butt in hot pursuit, and the two sides launched a fierce chase in the asteroid belt of the Shattered Star Zone.

In terms of numbers, the Germans had only one battle cruiser, the Fleeter, and five destroyers, while the British, excluding the two detachments that were on duty elsewhere and the recently destroyed Blackwater, had one Hood battle cruiser, five light cruisers, and nine destroyers, which were 2.5 times the number of their opponents.

And in terms of firepower, the caliber of the Hood's main gun is a full 4 inches larger than that of the De Fleeter! It also has a full 4-seat turret. Fortunately, the two sides were in pursuit of one after the other, and De Fleeter was able to use two rear turrets against Hood's two forward turrets, and the advantage in rate of fire made her reluctant British troops in the early stage dare not get too close.

However, De Fleeter's style of play, regardless of ammunition consumption, could not last long, and the British troops behind them were determined to turn this German fleet into a "missing person" who disappeared into the Shattered Star Zone. If they were allowed to return alive, not only would it create an international dispute between Britain and Germany, but the officers and men of the expeditionary fleet would also be blamed for violating the policy of Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.

Therefore, from the moment Lieutenant General Holland gave the order to open fire, he had already made up his mind to be a "total annihilation of the party"!

Thankfully, Frilinger had just completed the power and armor upgrades last year, and the speed had been increased to 32.5 knots, and the thickness of the main armor belt on the side side had also been increased to 330mm, which greatly increased her survival rate under Hood's pursuit. You chase after me on both sides. De Fleeter specially led the team to drill into that kind of high-density area, and got rid of the pursuit three times before and after, but was found by the other party twice.

It wasn't until the last encounter between the two sides that De Fleeter risked a trick of "black dog drilling" and broke the propeller of the Hood, which made the other side temporarily incapacitated, so as to get rid of these annoying British fleets. But Fleeter herself was also seriously wounded, and none of the five destroyers that followed her survived.

After nine days of pursuit, Fleeter's hull took 12 rounds, not counting the scars left by those small-caliber shells. The firing command post and the bridge were destroyed by the opposing side. The hull was also damaged in many places, and it survived thanks to the defensive nature of the German War Cruiser.

Sadly, however, the area of the first two battles between the two sides was not within the walls of the realm, so after the destruction of the ship's hull, De Flinger, who was unable to maintain the barrier, had to let the crew of the broken cabin use their physical bodies to radiate the universe.

Of the 1,420 members of the ship, including the captain, the first officer, the first officer, and the annoying Dr. Harrick, nearly 900 people were killed in the battle. Nearly two-thirds of the survivors were also injured, and many seriously injured committed suicide in desperation without medical treatment.

And what makes the survivors even more desperate. Although the power compartment of the De Fllinger was lucky not to be shot, the oil tank was leaked, and more than 80% of the fuel was lost, and the remaining fuel was not enough to support them to fly to any of the stargates under their own power. Unless someone comes to their rescue, there is little hope of returning home.

"Damn...... I knew that this would be the end of escaping, so it was better to sacrifice my life to hit Hood's chrysanthemum. ”

Since leaving the fight five days ago, De Fleeter hasn't run into those damn Britons. Although the escape is an escape, the current situation makes many people feel that it is better to die in battle. These days, De String has been sitting cross-legged on the most intact turret No. 1 in a daze, and he has not even changed his dirty tattered military uniform.

Facing today's dilemma. De Fleeter felt most sorry for the sailors on his ship. She is the ship's mother of the energy body, and she eats and drinks only to satisfy the desires of her tongue, and has no practical impact on survival. Even if she runs out of fuel in the future, she can still continue to exist as a "ghost" on this space wreckage.

But those sailors are human beings, and they need food and water to survive. Once the living materials on the ship are exhausted, what awaits them will be in the most aggrieved way of death!

De Flinger was in a daze, when a crisp gunshot suddenly sounded from the stern of the boat, and she didn't need to confirm that it was someone who chose to kill himself because he couldn't bear the torment of despair.

However, not long after this gunshot, De Fleeter noticed that there were some black dots approaching in front of her, and at a cursory glance, the number was about a dozen, and she subconsciously thought that the British were catching up again. This time she didn't turn around and run away, she didn't even bother to move the turret, she was completely in a posture of waiting for death, and Fullinger even lay down directly on the turret with the word "big", and even closed her eyes.

"Come on, come on! On the front, the old lady, whatever you want! ”

Both De Friinger and the surviving crew in the cabin chose to give up resistance when they learned that the "British" had caught up again. They had already exhausted all their shells in the previous battles, and there was not enough fuel left to ram the enemy ships at a rapid pace.

The sailors, completely demoralized, chose to wait for death to come, and the surviving logistics officers even opened the officers' wine cellar and gave each of the surviving brothers a bottle of wine. Among them, the best bottle of the year, everyone unanimously decided to give it to Miss Friing, the "goddess of war" to everyone, and gave this "beauty difference" to the youngest sailor on the ship.

The 16-year-old German boy, Tommy, took the wine and ran as fast as he could towards the deck, which would not have been conveyed if he had not delivered it to Miss de Fleeter before the enemy began shelling.

However, just as Tommy arrived on deck, the enemy ships that had surrounded him did not start shelling as expected, but instead began to shout at them with a loudspeaker.

"Listen to the German navy on the other side, you have been surrounded, abandon your weapons and surrender immediately!" (To be continued......)
