Volume 2 My Youth Chapter 9 The Battle of the Sea of Silence
In the tower of the command fortress of the Kirov, Marshal Kuznetsov, the Supreme Commander of the Navy of the Kingdom of Roshil, is conducting combat command through the real-time update of the observation tower and the communication tower.
This kind of alchemy golden plate is engraved with several alchemy matrices at the bottom, and the position and number of battle flags on the mountain plate can be adjusted at any time, which can well simulate the overall situation of the battle that cannot be known clearly by the telescope alone.
The presence of a stealthy force like the Kirov seems to have attracted the strange creatures, and countless sea monsters have also come to the warring seas.
Now it can be said that it is a three-way melee.
The battle situation was very chaotic, and some of the Combined Fleet's warships were not equipped with anti-sea beast weapons, so they had to make adjustments immediately and move them away from the direction of the sea beast impact.
There are also ships that are about to run out of fuel and have to return to colonial ports for repairs.
Some of the small ships of the South Loya Empire were directly devoured or destroyed by the sea beasts, which caused the imperial fleet to have to spare its strength to deal with those sea beasts.
Naturally, the submarine forces hidden at the bottom of the sea were not spared, and some of the giant beasts that could swim in the sea also attacked, and in order to protect those friendly forces that could not effectively attack the bottom of the sea, the submarine forces also began to fight bloodily.
Beneath the dark and silent surface of the sea, the two sides, relying on sonar and ultrasound feedback organs, began to rapidly transform between prey and hunter.
The situation on the sandbox was changing from moment to moment, and the admiral of Kuznetsov and the Principality of Gaul, Riemans, was frowning at the battle flags representing the battleship formations of the Southern Loya Empire.
"Those battleships haven't moved yet," Riemans said, "it's strange." ”
"Maybe the Kirov and Nautilus haven't used their full strength yet?" Kuznetsov said.
"You mean, this is actually a tentative attack by the Southern Loya Empire?"
"Yes, otherwise it is impossible to explain why, not long after the Kirov and Nautilus entered the battle, so a huge formation of battleships suddenly joined the battlefield."
"Yes." Riemans nodded.
"Then the current policy of operation is to avoid using the full strength of the Kirov and the Nautilus as much as possible."
"No problem."
"Then throw the fuse at the fleet of the South Loya Empire."
"Agreed."
On Kuznetsov's orders, a statue carved with a strange sea monster was loaded into a special turret and then shelled to the center of the fleet of the South Loya Empire.
Soon, the surrounding sea monsters seemed to be attracted to something, and frantically approached there, and the attack on the Imperial fleet became more and more fierce.
The battleship formations of the Reich had to go on the attack.
Countless cannonballs with arcs of electricity were fired at those sea monsters, and the huge kinetic energy directly tore their bodies apart.
However, there were too many sea monsters, and batch after batch of successive servants finally broke through the outer defenses of the Southern Loya Imperial fleet and came to the center.
An octopus-like sea monster dives to the bottom of the ocean and swallows the monstrous statue into its belly.
Instantaneous mutations are generated.
Its body began to swell, countless hematomas were produced, and then began to turn into tentacles full of claws.
Its eyes began to increase rapidly, and it became insane and crazy to look at.
It roared, and several thick tentacles directly sank the small ship.
The huge monster soon began to attack the battleship formations of the Imperial fleet.
The electromagnetic railguns weren't able to wipe out the monster quickly.
Its torn body was quickly filled with reborn flesh.
The warships of the Combined Fleet took advantage of this opportunity and began to fire several salves at the fleet of the South Loya Empire.
The Imperial fleet soon suffered its first heavy losses, and several battleships were immediately sunk by concentrated fire.
Faced with this situation, the South Loya Empire quickly made adjustments.
The battleship formations began to quickly rebuild formations and quickly counterattack.
The intervals of all battleships began to widen.
All secondary guns and missile systems began to be reloaded.
The battleships began to use their true strength.
When they fired together, even the sunlight dimmed because of it.
The octopus monster was soon caught in a sea of fire.
In just a few minutes, it was consumed by the powerful firepower of the battleship formation, and the rest of the sea monsters were quickly annihilated.
Under the Empire's powerful firepower, the tripartite battle quickly reverted back to a two-way battle, only this time, the Combined Fleet was shocked by its display of strength.
Kuznetsov and Riemans tacitly agreed that the main forces of the fleet would begin to slowly retreat, and the ensuing battle would become a battle and retreat, doing everything possible to slow down the offensive of the South Loya Imperial fleet and not allowing the enemy's battleship formations to enter the battle.
The submarine and the sea fortress Kirov became the main force of the ensuing battle.
The submarine forces slowed down the enemy's advance by taking turns of fish/torpedo harassment, while the Kirov withstood the enemy's advance during the submarine force attack rotation.
By the end of the hours, the outnumbered Kirov had been scarred, seven of the sixteen main guns had been destroyed, twenty-three of the thirty-two secondary guns had been lost, several decks had been breached, and the internal structure had been moderately damaged.
The fire had been extinguished by the damage control forces, and the leaky compartment had been sealed.
The command fortress tower has already brushed shoulders with death four times, if it were not for the defense of the alchemy matrix even if it was deflected in the direction of the shells. Probably, Marshal Kuznetsov and Marshal Riemans may have been martyred long ago.
For the safety of the fleet commanders, they had to be escorted by the guards to the war conference hall inside Kirov for the rest of the battle command.
Here, staff officers and technicians urgently converted the conference table into a command sand table.
The sweaty Kuznetsov threw away his hat and unbuttoned it, and Riemans, regardless of his own image, continued to direct the troops in the hot and unventilated conference hall.
It was only after more than ten hours that the fleet had retreated to the coastal waters of Serbia.
The port was ready for battle, and the non-combatants were evacuated from here.
It's just that I don't know if the South Loya Empire will completely capture Serbia this time.
In order to avoid this result, the army of the Kingdom of Rothschild urgently sent an additional 10,000 soldiers and various war weapons to the island and local troops to assist in the defense.
The Holy Kingdom also sent its own army of war monsters to the island to support.
The whole island is turning into a fortress.
Once the Combined Fleet enters Serbia's coastal waters, it means that the area of combat detours will be smaller, and the number of close-quarters combat will increase.
But this was inevitable, because the South Loya Imperial fleet was unstoppable.
It was at this time that a lot of damage to the combined fleet began.
No matter how strong the Monro alloy was, it could not withstand the intensive attack of the electromagnetic railgun, and soon the Kirov was heavily damaged, the conning tower was knocked down, and then the observation tower and communication tower collapsed one after another.
The entire sea fortress became a circle, almost smoothed out the edges and corners, and the turrets on the sea were almost completely destroyed.
The surface seemed to be smoothed out, and only the wreckage and the surviving artillery crews that continued to fight in the wreckage remained.
The precision of the missiles left the Kirov without both eyes and most of its means of attack.
In order to keep the core of the Kirov from being destroyed, it had to retreat.
The positions it left vacated had to be replaced by one battleship after another, bearing the devastating firepower of the South Loya Imperial fleet.
It's just that they are not as good as the sea fortresses after all, and they have been severely damaged or sunk one after another.
The speed of the fleet's retreat continued to increase, and soon, the Serbian coastline was in view.
The Battle of the Sea of Silence has now entered its second phase, the Battle of the Harbor.
The shore defense guns built into the permanent fortresses on the ground began to attack the approaching Imperial ships.
Shooting begins immediately.
Serbian ports were immediately enveloped in flames.
The Combined Fleet then relied on the nearby small islands as bunkers to fire at the Imperial fleet's warships.
In the face of the enemy's battleship formation's missile precision attack, the combined fleet was quickly defeated.
The remnants of the troops had to continue to retreat, giving way to the Serbian sea defense.
At this point, the second phase of the Battle of the Silent Sea is over, and the third phase has begun, the Battle of the Island.
At this time, Kuznetsov and Riemans were no longer in command, and they quickly became exhausted and sent to the infirmary.
What needs to be done at this time is to do everything possible to preserve the living forces of the combined fleet, and there is no need for a commander-in-chief to command.
They retreated with all their might, and the South Loya Imperial fleet did not stop them, but only began the landing battle against the two colonies of Serbia and Dougle.
The sailors who were lucky enough to survive headed for the two islands, and the defenders on the islands did everything they could to help them.
I just don't know if this is from one hell to another.
The South Loya Imperial fleet shelled the islands that had lost their coastal defenses for several hours.
Turning the once beautiful and rich coastal area into a potholed, scorched earth.
The surviving defenders did not have time to thank the Spirit Lord for his protection, so they had to pull themselves out of the dirt and repair their positions as much as they could before the enemy came ashore.
Fortresses and fortresses, which had not yet been destroyed, began to attack the enemy's logged ships.
Although more than a dozen landing ships were successfully destroyed, they were only a drop in the bucket for the huge landing force.
The first landing craft arrived on the beach, and out of it were mechanical soldiers carrying bulletproof heavy shields, and began to charge under the fire of machine guns and heavy machine guns.
The amphibious landing fleet came to the shallow sea, opened the hatches and released one amphibious assault heavy tank after another.
With the increase in the number of troops ashore, the Sino-Turkish coalition army is also sending additional reinforcements to the coastal defense line.
Fenrir, the wolf of war, rushed into the enemy line and began to tear apart the enemy in front of him.
The Knights of the Decay Expedition carried heavy artillery systems and began to support from a distance.
In the face of enemy shelling, its powerful self-healing power is able to keep them standing. It's just that the surrounding land is more corrupted.
But the scorched earth has long since become too corrupt to decay.
The constant addition of these war machines scorched the front.
