"Don't panic, follow the rhythm of our training!"

On the deck of the warship on the surface of the sea, some officers roared and roared loudly, and it was time to test the psychological endurance of the soldiers.

A destroyer sank to the bottom of the sea in front of them, with their familiar comrades, their feared superiors, and the Federal Navy's pursuit of power, and the morale of the Federal Navy entered a low point at the first moment of the confrontation between the two sides.

For the current Union Navy, there is good news, and bad news.

The bad news is that the enemy is stronger than they expected, and this strength is not something that can be reflected in the kind of war deduction, it is not the strength of the ordnance, it is not the strength of tactical command, but the strength of the ability to execute.

From the first test firing correction to the first salvo to take out the target, the speed was too fast, and the combat ability honed by Gavrela's sailors from hundreds of real wars was difficult for the Union Navy soldiers to catch up with in a short time.

The good news is that after the morale has been severely damaged, it seems that there will not be a more drastic change, and the Federal Navy has thrown away the naivety of "I thought".

As soon as the federal navy came up, it faced the worst situation, the pressure on the navy was very great, if it couldn't withstand this pressure, it would be roughly dealt with on the spot, even if the Bayler Federation was a country that paid attention to the spirit of freedom, and when faced with the fatal behavior of deserters, it would not let it go.

But as long as they can withstand it and gradually improve their morale, the naval soldiers who can survive this naval battle will form the core of the naval soul!

Besides, no matter how bad it is, with the current situation, how bad can it be?

"Seventeen seconds to ......," the officer instructed the gunners to adjust the coordinates, they had studied the speed of the shelling of Gevra, and it took about twenty-eight seconds to carry out an artillery bombardment, and it had been eleven seconds since the last shelling.

They must counter before the opponent fires a second volley, otherwise it will demoralize the Federal Navy even worse.

People become "mentally retarded" in war, and the intensity of war makes people lose their ability to think precisely, and they are only frustrated that the Gevras can shell twice, but they can only shell once.

In terms of accuracy, there can be less emphasis on hit rate, but the speed must catch up with the opponent.

In the last four seconds, the flag bearer waved the flag in his hand? At the same time the ship's whistle sounded? The hull of the ship that was moving forward seemed to have been lightly touched by something, and the whole hull felt a little shaky.

The sound of shelling from all around made the soldiers temporarily deaf? The moment when the roaring barrel spits out the shell? The morale of the Navy was immediately boosted.

Maybe it was the beginning of accepting reality that the soldiers went through the initial panic? Devoted to the war.

This round of salvos, in addition to trying their luck, is also to calibrate the coordinates of the shelling? At the same time, it also boosted morale.

? At present, long-range salvo is the most important combat method of naval warfare, and it is also the most powerful combat method.

The moment a rain of shells fall through the clouds, it can not only destroy the enemy's warship, but also destroy the enemy's self-confidence!

Observers constantly report on the shelling? The gunner began to adjust the coordinates? The loader pulled open the gun bay and unloaded the huge shells while starting to load new shells......

Everyone has their own position, and everyone is under tremendous pressure.

A screeching sound came from overhead, a second salvo from Gefra arrived, and two ships were unlucky enough to be shelled? But the good news is that this hit didn't make them lose their ability to fight and move.

At this time, the tactics of naval warfare were still stuck in the confrontation of naval guns, whose gun barrel was thicker? Whoever has thicker armor has the initiative in naval battles.

This idea of war from the very beginning? It has always been the supreme idea of naval warfare, and the Royal Navy of Gavrera has taken this idea to the extreme.

Previously, the combat command had considered a tactical scenario for a confrontation with the Royal Navy of Gavrela? It seems that those staff officers still think that the only way to defeat the Gevra is to defeat them in such an upright way? It's the real defeat of them.

But the current situation does not allow it? This salvo of the Federation Navy was very embarrassing, except for creating some water columns and setting off some water mist, it did not hit any enemy ships at all, and none of them were close.

This kind of failure can be called a test launch, but this accuracy is also a little too bad, if the stiff and rigid do not know the change, continue to bombard, the Federal Navy is very likely to have large-scale battle damage.

If the plan against the bombardment does not work, then we can only follow the original plan and fight the speed war.

The commander-in-chief of the fleet immediately issued a request, and all the battleships increased their power to the maximum, and except for the four battleships, which were still evading and shelling according to the tactics of counter-bombardment, the destroyers took the lead in the charge.

The Federalists knew the parameters of the Gaivra warships, but the Gevrites did not know the parameters of the Federation's warships, and their usual invincibility made them conceited and arrogant to ignore any challengers, and those warships that suddenly accelerated startled the Gevrites, but only startled.

They quickly calmed down, even if the ships rushed in front of them, they could not do anything, they also had destroyer frigates, as long as they were not hit in the ammunition compartment and caused a martyrdom, the main battleship of Gavra did not even think about the possibility of being sunk.

The second round of mutual fire and bombardment broke out again, and after correcting the target, this time the Federation battleship hit one of the opposing warships, which was good news, and when a column of smoke rose on the opposite side, everyone could feel a clear excitement.

The morale boost is as simple as that, just hit it!

The soldiers' movements have become smoother and more natural, and the psychological pressure has been reduced.

People say that the Royal Navy of Gavra is invincible, and they have even created a proud record of winning naval battles of the same scale without injury, but now they have just engaged in the battle, and the other side is smoking, which at least shows that even if there is a gap between the strength of the Federal Navy and the Gavra Navy, this gap is also within the acceptable range of people.

The battle at sea has attracted much attention from the beginning, and there are many observation ships outside of this warring sea.

Some people know the story behind this naval battle, and they know that the Federation Navy is facing the Gevrerites, so they come to see if the Gavras are still as invincible as they were during the war.

Some were purely to see the excitement of the Federation, which was the first time that the Federation had conducted a large-scale military operation in an international public area.

At first, these people laughed at the Federal Navy, because they were too cowardly, just to exterminate a group of pirates, and actually took out a whole formation, and some incomprehensible submarines.

They took the pirates too seriously, which gave the military observers a reason to laugh at them, and they even figured out how to report what they observed to their own defense apparatus when they returned.

For example, "the Federation Navy is vulnerable" or "natural cowards" or something like that, but when they see those "pirates", they realize that it is not that the Federation takes this anti-bandit battle too seriously, but that they must do their best.

Because they weren't facing some weak pirates, they were facing the Gevra capital ship group, which was one of the strongest warship formations in Gevra, except for the loss of two battleships and some escort destroyers.

When the Federation's first destroyer was sunk, everyone fell silent, as they found that Gavra's Royal Navy was as strong as ever, and there was no appetite for the slightest challenge.

But with the formation of the federal navy and the change of speed of the destroyers, an momentum that is actually no less than that of a naval power rushed to the face.

They didn't panic, they fought back and forth with the Gavreas in a very rhythmic manner, and even concentrated Gavra's warships many times in the confrontation.

The pace of the war was scorching, and for more than twenty minutes it was constantly changing direction, evading, and salvoging, and for the first time it became clear that the Union Navy was not as weak as one might think.

This change in perception is actually very complicated, probably like the surprise of a girl with a straight body when she suddenly takes off her loose coat and reveals her amazing figure!

The course of the war took some changes in the forty-seventh minute of the battle, when warships from each side were hit.

The sudden sinking of a destroyer facing the Federation Assault Fleet shocked the military observers, who asked what had happened.

If it is an artillery bombardment and a martyrdom, then there should be a huge column of fire and smoke, in the current naval battle, the battleship may lose power, it is possible to lose its combat capability, but if you want the battleship to sink, there are roughly only two possibilities.

The detonation of the ammunition depot, like the first destroyer of the Federation to be set on fire, directly broke the warship into two parts.

There is also an attack from below the waterline, where the hatch cannot be closed quickly, resulting in too much water entry and the warship loses its buoyancy and sinks.

In addition, if you only shell the deck and the position above the waterline of the hull, it is very difficult to have such a situation as sinking.

Without fire, what sank this destroyer?

Torpedoes?

However, there are many problems that have not been solved in actual combat as a torpedo weapon, and although all countries are developing torpedoes, their main efforts are still focused on improving the caliber and armor of artillery.

It's not just these military observers who are confused, but the fleet commanders of the Royal Navy of Gavra are also confused, how can they sink so well?

Could it be that the torpedo technology of the Federation has been able to accurately sink a warship of the destroyer level in a real naval battle?

"Do not let their warships get close to our firing positions, drive them away, in addition, pay attention to the torpedoes underwater, they may have made a new breakthrough in torpedo technology. ”

"Those spies lurking in the Federation should be hanged, they ignored such important information!"

The commander was not as relaxed as he was just now, and his face was frosty.
