From the design of the ship, it can be seen that the Richelieu-class battleship is an out-and-out "offensive weapon", and her two quadruple turrets are all placed in the front of the hull, which means that even if the battleship is facing the enemy with the bow, it can exert all the main gun firepower, and there is no need to worry about the problem of "T unfavorable".

So from the moment he took over the hull, Richelieu understood that he was a battleship that could not escape!

Anyway, the steering gear was also broken and could not make a large turn, so the Richelieu consulted with its own captain, Colonel Mazen. It was decided to immediately transfer the command of the ship, and then attack the enemy position with a single ship, so as to win a chance for the other friendly forces to evacuate to Stargate 2.

Now that France is left with only their last fleet, the loss of the mighty Richelieu is distressing, but it is better than the total destruction of the entire fleet. And Richelieu also felt that if she couldn't give these treacherous Britons a little color, she couldn't swallow this breath!

So, after risking the transfer of the personnel of the command office in a jet boat, the Richelieu began to accelerate and rushed towards the British Grand Fleet, which had already appeared in the field of vision. The other French warships silently saluted the flagship. Collectively turned and flew towards Stargate No. 2.

At this time, the Richelieu received a persuasion from the Hood to surrender, and the British said that they had no ill intentions, but that they needed the strength of the French navy in order to fight the Germans. Richelieu sneered disdainfully.

"Hood! You hypocritical little! ”

Gritting his teeth and glaring at the battlecruiser Hood in the center of the British fleet, Richelieu's eyes looked like they were about to burst into flames. When the two first met, they did have a good time, but because of this, the betrayal of their friends made Richelieu even more difficult to accept.

Indignant, Richelieu rushed straight at the British, all eight of his main guns aimed at the Hood.

"For the sake of France, open the !!"

With a coquettish shout, the Richelieu, which had assaulted to the distance of the attack, opened fire first, in the most straightforward way possible. Make your own "reply" to the persuasion of the British army to surrender.

The Richelieu was equipped with a 15-inch gun that was superior in all respects to the British army's old 15-inch guns. Even in the absence of firing corrections from observation ships, the first round of shelling, although it did not hit the target Hood, achieved a fairly decent dispersion, two of which were grazing.

The two shells, one of which crossed the port side of the Hood, sparked a spark, and the other shot ricocheted on the first turret, and then cut off the antenna on the bridge, leaving Hood's scalp cold. And the French army was so accurate in artillery. It also caused a lot of shock to the British army.

And Lieutenant General Holland, who commanded the British army, sighed and said.

"It seems that the French will not give in, notify the ships, and shoot freely!"

Anyway, there was only one target in front of him, and Horan, who couldn't bear it, deliberately ignored the rest of the French fleet and only fired at the Richelieu. Holland didn't want to disobey orders and exterminate his former allies, so he planned to sink the pride of the French navy and severely damage the morale of the French army!

On the orders of Horan. Dozens of British warships, long guns and short cannons fired together, and the Richelieu was suddenly "bathed" in a rain of bullets. Small-caliber shells naturally posed little threat to the heavily armored Richelieu, but the 15-inch guns from the British army's 3 battle cruisers and 2 battleships were very powerful.

The Richelieu was soon hit twice by the Prestige and one by the Resolve. The left side of the bridge caught fire from a bullet, but none of the damage stopped the opponent's footsteps, and Richelieu focused on hitting Hood.

In this way, the two sides quickly rushed to a distance where they could tear their faces at close range. The Richelieu, already scarred, did not slow down, and rushed straight towards Hood. In the face of the opponent's desperate charge, Hood, who did not want to die together, had to retreat. Sideways with the Richelieu.

And the other British troops were obviously shocked by Richelieu's desperate style of play, and watched the other side pass through their array!

"Turn around, turn around right away! Don't let her run! ”

With a beautiful frontal piercing, the Richelieu managed to throw her opponent behind and take advantage of the opponent's turn to quickly open the gap between them, but also exposed her most unfavorable side to the British. When facing the enemy head-on, the Richelieu could indeed exert all the firepower of the main guns, but once it was switched to the back, she was left with only three triple 152mm secondary guns available.

Use this to threaten the heavy patrol at most, and it will be very powerless against the main force of the British army.

However, Richelieu and the French sailors on her ship also understood that their battle was originally a matter of life and death, mainly to contain the British Grand Fleet and give friendly forces a chance to evacuate.

Leading a British fleet, he turned to the ineffective Richelieu to do his best to avoid the asteroids along the way, and handed over all three secondary guns in the rear to the artillerymen. But even so, they were still unable to suppress the pursuit of the British army, and the distance between the two sides became closer and closer.

If this situation continues, it will be sooner or later before the Richelieu is surrounded!

"Colonel! The enemy is already less than 5000 meters away from us! ”

"The No. 2 secondary gun was destroyed, the No. 3 had a mechanical failure, and the suppressive fire was insufficient!"

"Captain! The enemy's light cruisers are trying to outflank from both sides, what to do? ”

Bad situations came one after another, and the captain, Colonel Mazen, felt that he had reached the end of his rope in the truest sense of the word. But just as he was about to give the order to stop the ship and fight to the death with the British army for the sake of the last dignity of the French navy, an unexpected situation happened to him and the British army!

Seeing that the British were about to catch up with the Richelieu, suddenly a group of more than 100 planes rushed straight from their right side. They had never seen an aircraft with a strange forward-swept wing design that the other side was able to navigate between asteroids with precision and speed, demonstrating excellent piloting skills.

That is, in the blink of an eye, the opponent rushed to the front of the British fleet and launched an attack.

However, to the surprise of the British, these fighters did not carry ship-to-ship weapons, and they threw a strange airborne smoke grenade at the British instead of torpedoes or bombshells.

These cylinders, which resemble oil drums, appear to be magnetic, and when they touch the hull, they cling to them. There are a large number of vents on the outer wall of the bomb, which can release a thick milky white smoke and interfere with electronic equipment. The British radar was completely paralyzed, and only a cacophony of cacophony remained on the radio.

In the face of such powerful interference methods, the British warships that lost contact with each other soon fell into chaos. Those who reacted faster immediately began to organize people to clear the smoke bombs, while others tried to pass through the smoke, but smoke came out as they ran, and the encirclement formation of the fleet was dispersed as a result.

The Richelieu, on the other hand, was confused about the "savior" that suddenly appeared.

At this time, a "friendly (?)" The plane "came in front of the Richelieu, first swayed its wings from side to side in a gesture of friendship, and then flashed its own tail lights." Mazen realized that this was what the other party meant to lead the way.

I don't know who these guys are, but they don't have any other choice right now! (To be continued......)

PS: PS: Here is a correction of a wrong name, the British commander should be called Holland, I easily called Holland, and I just reacted to ORZ recently!
