Chapter 509: Naval Battle (2)
"What's going on? Damn it! Damn it!! β
At this time, Tang Andu was about to go crazy, obviously they were still in a good situation before, why did they suddenly take a sharp turn?
"General, it's a mine! This sea area is covered with a large number of mines!! β
"Mines? How is this possible! How could there be mines in this place?! β
You must know that the fleets of the two sides have been guarding each other since they met, and if the destroyers on the opposite side lay mines, they could not have discovered nothing.
However, the fact is that they did not find out at all, because the destroyers on this side of Great Xia had not laid mines at all.
These mines were all laid by the salamander warriors.
In this era when there were no submarines, the presence of the salamander warriors undoubtedly made the fleet of Great Xia more flexible in battle, and at the same time, it also made the enemy defenseless)
As soon as the enemy fleet was confirmed from a distance, Lu Meng let all the salamander warriors enter the sea, and the team's actions seemed to avoid the actions of the opposing fleet, but in fact they actually led them to the mines that had been placed.
After the salamander warriors laid out the mines, they could not escape at all according to the situation at that time, so they did not choose to evacuate this sea area, but went deep.
Dive to the depths of the sea, and after avoiding being swept away by mines, this retreats unhurriedly.
Because of these mines, they don't dare to move at will, because if they are not careful, they will explode.
Now he is in a dilemma, as if he has become a live target of the Great Xia fleet.
With such an excellent opportunity for counterattack in front of him, Lu Meng certainly couldn't be soft, and all the main guns of the eight battleships were frantically aimed at the battleships of the enemy fleet and fired wildly.
Take advantage of the opportunity to solve a few ships.
The Nordic fleet is under fire and now their only way is to stay away and return and withdraw from this minefield.
However, the steel battleship is not a car, a steering wheel and a gas, and you can turn your head directly by drifting.
The movement caused by an entire steel fleet can be imagined.
But the problem is that they have no choice but to stop here and get beaten all the time.
In order to escape from this minefield, even if they knew that there were mines around, they had to drive through it.
Thunderbolts erupted along the way, and some of the lightly armored destroyers sank on the spot after several successive hits.
The Nordic battleships, on the other hand, were taken care of by the Great Xia Fleet, with a luxurious combination of shelling and mines, and they had no time to care about others, so they could only bury their heads and rush in order to get out of the minefield as soon as possible.
But it's not the kitchen door you call, you can get in and out if you want.
Before the Nordic fleet was about to crash into the minefield, the salamanders had already dived into the deep sea and escaped from the area.
Then, after quietly surfacing the sea to breathe a sigh of relief, they directly placed all the remaining mines on the retreat of the Nordic fleet.
The tactical plan of closing the door and beating the dogs with one hand, with the help of the hands of the salamander warriors, was implemented quite smoothly.
Compared with the Nordic fleet, which is too busy to take care of itself, the output environment of the Great Xia fleet at this time is called a Bashi.
In this state, the European fleet directly lost its head and did not pose much threat to them at all.
At this time, the only thing the Great Xia Fleet needed to do was to fire its guns with all its might!
At this time, the Nordic fleet was already in chaos, and Don Juan, who was in the main flagship of the fleet, hardened his head and signaled the fleet under his command to continue to attack.
In this situation, sacrifices are inevitable.
Don Juan gritted his teeth, and finally chose to save the battleship, and let a few seriously injured destroyers go to the mines, so as to clear a safe sea route.
Under the pressure of the roaring thunder explosions and the main guns of the battleships of the Great Xia Fleet, the embarrassed Nordic fleet forcibly broke through an entire minefield despite the casualties.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the scene in front of them directly made them despair.
I saw that the whole group of destroyers maintaining a single-column formation was (this chapter is not finished!). )

Sideways the ship, quickly passing in front of their eyes.
At the same time, the whole fleet began to pour fire at the same time, and the triple torpedo launchers installed on the ships were activated one after another, and a large number of torpedoes directly pulled up the dividing line of death!
The Nordic fleet, which had just escaped, was once again in hell.
A destroyer that rushed to the front, already scarred, was instantly baptized by the bombardment torpedoes of the destroyer fleet, and was directly destroyed in the earth-shattering explosion.
Don Juan, who was in the commander-in-chief room, had a very difficult face to see at this time.
"Let the perimeter war deal with those destroyers, and all the battleships will concentrate on the enemy battleships!"
After gritting his teeth and surviving a series of onslaught attacks by the Great Xia fleet, the scarred Nordic fleet quickly launched a counterattack, looking at the main guns of the Northern battleships slowly turning, Lu Meng did not dare to be careless, and immediately ordered again.
"Through the whole fleet, pay attention to the enemy's attack."
Although many of the warships in the Nordic fleet on the opposite side were emitting black smoke, from such a distance, even Lu Meng could not know how much combat power the other party's ships still had, so it was better to be careful.
And, in the initial battle, their own ships were not without damage.
After all, the huge size of the battleship was there, and it was impossible to completely avoid it in the face of dense naval artillery attacks, and the last few shelling was inevitable.
The Norse fleet's counterattack quickly unfolded, and the formation on the side of the Great Xia fleet quickly dispersed, making him more comfortable when evading.
In the previous indiscriminate bombardment, the artillery bombardment of the Great Xia fleet should have caused damage to the main guns of the enemy battleships, because at this time, Meng Neng clearly felt that the opponent's firepower had weakened.
After confirming this, LΓΌ Meng's order was issued again, and the naval guns of the Great Xia fleet roared wildly.
Above the sea, the steel fleets of both sides exchanged frenzied fire.
Although it was the first time for Lu Meng to face an opponent of this scale, the top talent of his own five-star level was there, and after a successful round of offsets, Lu Meng, who gradually mastered the rhythm of the battle, could be said to be more and more stable)
In that round of indiscriminate bombardment, the Northern Fleet, which had withstood too many attacks and suffered various degrees of damage, continued to expose various problems as the battle continued.
Gradually, the entire fleet fell into complete disadvantage.
Lu Meng, who gradually gained the upper hand, absolutely could not give the opponent a chance to turn around, led by the flagship Initial No. 1, and the main fleet, which had been holding a distance for long-range artillery bombardment, began to press.
At the same time, aside from individual frigates, a large number of destroyers moved quickly at speed, and vaguely, an invisible encirclement network had been rolled out.
Don Juan, who was aware of his situation, began to turn pale.
In these rounds, he has realized that the opponent he faced will never give him any chance to turn around.
Now, his defeat seems to be a foregone conclusion.
However, Don Juan was not reconciled!
After waiting for so many years to wait for an opportunity to enlist, is this the result?
No! Never!!
He, Don Juan, will never be killed!
"Pass the order, the whole fleet will break through in the direction of the east!"
As soon as the Nordic fleet moved, the outer Great Xia destroyer fleet suddenly moved with it.
The superiority of the destroyer's speed was greatly demonstrated at this moment, and after penetrating the minefield, it endured the continuous baptism of torpedo and artillery bombardment, and the destroyers of the Nordic Fleet were already overwhelmed and could no longer pose a threat to the destroyer fleet of the Great Xia Fleet.
After losing its restraints, the Grand Fleet acted at this moment to be unscrupulous, and a sea encirclement network always shrouded the Nordic Fleet, making it difficult for them to escape.
However, the strength of the Nordic fleet was beyond Lu Meng's expectations, originally he thought that this battle could end earlier, but he did not expect that it would cost him a lot of work unexpectedly.
Amidst the roar of the cannon, the slowly disappearing Emperor in the distance pulled down the curtain of this naval battle.

But I have to say that this flagship of the Nordic Fleet, named the Emperor, is really resistant, and it can be seen that when he was building it, Kiel Fito must have invested a lot of money in it.
So much so that even LΓΌ Meng didn't know how many shells his fleet had consumed.
And for those Nordic soldiers who fell into the water, the Great Xia fleet directly chose to shoot them.
Their mission this time was to surprise the enemy's rear, and they had no intention of returning home, so naturally they had no time to take prisoners.
After all, capturing these enemy soldiers would increase their risk and increase the cost of resources on the ship, which was really not cost-effective.
However, when it comes to resource consumption, Lu Meng immediately thought of the supply ship on the other side, just like their ship needs to bring a supply ship to supply resources when it goes out.)
Given the size of the fleet on the other side, there must also be supply ships.
As for the supply position, eighty percent is in the rear of the main fleet.
After all, there can be a battle on the side of the main fleet at any time, and it will be too much of a problem to bring supply ships at that time, so it is a safer way to let the main force and the supply fleet sail at a distance for several days.
At the very least, that's what the Great Xia Fleet is doing now.
After that, Meng first asked people to confirm the damage of his own fleet, and after spending a short time, a statistical report was sent to Meng's eyes.
Seven destroyers sank, five were badly damaged, and the rest were slightly damaged.
On the side of the battleship, the owners of two battleships were damaged by enemy shelling, one of the hull armor was seriously damaged, and three were damaged.
It is enough to see how stubborn the resistance of the Nordic fleet was.
Lu Meng took a long breath before speaking again.
"Find the nearest island to dock, and all the seriously damaged warships will be docked on the island, waiting for the rescue of the rear supply ships. The other ships continued to sail with me, searching for the location of the enemy's supply ships! β
At sea, a supply ship means a treasure full of supplies, no matter what aspect you think about, Lu Meng has no reason to let it go.
After briefly judging the position of the Nordic Fleet at that time, Meng led the Great Xia Fleet under his command to search directly in the opposite direction.
This is not a difficult thing, even if it is directly in the way with the supply ship, but in order to resupply, the supply fleet will definitely not be too far away from the main fleet.
Indeed, on the third day, the supply fleet of the Norse Fleet appeared in the field of vision of the Great Xia Fleet.
The number of ships given by the other side is a total of eight, and there are ten frigates around to escort it.
However, this little battle is obviously impossible to pose a threat to the Great Xia fleet.
The maximum speed of a supply ship full of resources is around 20 knots, and with this speed, it is impossible to escape.
Against their main team, they basically only have to be slaughtered.
The fight began and ended faster, all ten frigates were sunk, and all supply ships were captured.
The fuel, food, and military supplies of the entire eight ships were all in the hands of the Great Xia Fleet, and this harvest was not insignificant.
Although they also have six supply ships to transport supplies, which is relatively sufficient, considering the large scale, the daily consumption of each soldier still has to be controlled.
Now that he has gained the harvest of these eight ship sources, coupled with the victory in the previous naval battle, as the supreme commander of the Great Xia Fleet, Lu Meng is also quite enlightened to say that he should celebrate.
In fact, this can be regarded as an exciting kind of sales.
Traveling on the sea is boring, and the time to go to sea will only be boring in the end, and a person's spirit will be in a state for a long time, and it will invisibly accumulate pressure.
Therefore, it is still necessary for the appropriate soldiers under their command to relax and vent.
The cheers of the naval sergeants kept coming from outside, and Lu Meng himself did not mingle, at this time he was sitting in his captain's room, eating the canned oranges in his hand, and looking at the chart in front of him.
This chart was collected from the captured supply ships, and with this, he has now completely confirmed the location of the enemy's coastal cities!
