217 Unequal firepower, collapse in an instant!
New world.
Former G5 branch of the Navy.
The navy here is more appropriate than a navy and a bunch of pirates.
Whether it is in terms of mental outlook or usual behavior.
And at this moment, in the branch chief's office, Virgo was frowning deeply.
Because, he got the news that Sean held a meeting three days ago, and for this meeting, the lieutenant generals who went out on a mission were all recalled.
But now, he is also part of the New World Navy, but he did not receive a notice to attend the meeting.
This situation is not good, very bad!
"Could it be... Did Sean find something? ”
Boom!!!
Just then, the office door was pushed open.
But after glancing at who it was, Virgo didn't say much.
After all, the person who comes in is his own henchman.
"Vice Admiral Virgo, no, a steel fleet was found approaching outside the branch, it should be the rumored fleet under the command of Sean, after all, apart from him, even the headquarters navy only has a few steel warships!"
"Huh? Have you recently received a message from the headquarters that they are coming? ”
"No, I'm pretty sure!"
"Sound the alarm and keep all sailors on standby at combat posts!"
"Lieutenant General?"
I was stunned.
Although he is Virgo's confidant, he also helps him with a lot of things.
But when Sean's fleet arrives, what are you doing when you sound the alarm?
Do you really want to tear your face and quit the Navy?
"Don't talk nonsense, just do it if you want to!"
"Yes, Lieutenant General!"
was yelled at by Virgo, and he didn't say anything more, and immediately went down to execute.
At this time, Virgo took out a special phone bug from his body.
Blu Blu Blu...
"It's me!"
"Dover, I'm Virgo!"
"What's the matter?"
"The ironclad fleet under Sean's command has come to my side, I'm afraid that the comer is not good, and I may even have been exposed!"
......
Hearing this, the other end of the phone bug fell silent.
Until a minute later...
"You deal with it first, it's best if it's not exposed, if it's really exposed, then hold on for an hour, I'll come over now!"
"Understood!"
Virgo nodded, put down the phone bug, and then grabbed the Navy justice coat next to him and walked out of the office.
------
A few minutes later.
Outside the branch, at a shore artillery bunker.
"Admiral, the headquarters fleet is still two nautical miles away from us!"
"No, they're not the main fleet!"
"Lieutenant General?"
The sailors were stunned.
It's not the headquarters fleet, but that kind of warship is only equipped with a lot of equipment from the headquarters of the New World Navy, and the flag on it is not wrong.
"If the headquarters fleet wants to come over, they will definitely contact me first, but in the past few days, I have not received such a notice at all."
"Therefore, I suspect that this is a pirate fake!"
"You immediately arrange for someone to go and raise the flag, ask who the other party is and what they are doing here!"
Virgo's eyes twinkled, and he said.
When the sailors heard this, they felt that it seemed to make sense, and immediately asked people to follow what Virgo said, and the flag language was played.
A minute later.
The sailor ran into bunker again.
"Vice Admiral, the other party replied to the flag that they were the First Fleet of the New World Headquarters, and they came on the orders of Marshal Sean, and at the same time said..."
"What else?"
"Say that Lieutenant General Virgo is a spy for the pirates, and ask all the sailors of the G5 branch to arrest you immediately, otherwise they will all be dealt with as a crime of treachery!"
"I'm a spy for the pirates?"
Virgo was stunned.
Although there has been speculation, he may have been exposed.
After all, I didn't let myself participate in the meeting three days ago, and now a whole fleet has killed me.
But now that I heard this, I was still shocked.
Are you really exposed?
However, everything is clean from beginning to end, and it stands to reason that it shouldn't be exposed...
"Lieutenant General?"
"Don't look at it, the other party is a group of pirates pretending to be the headquarters fleet, you continue to wave the flag and ask the other party to stop advancing, wait for us to contact the headquarters to confirm first."
"Lieutenant General, what if the other party keeps warning and keeps moving forward?"
"Then it is even more confirmed to confirm the guess just now, the other party is not the navy, but the pirates, and immediately launch an artillery bombardment!"
"Yes, Lieutenant General!"
------
The other side.
The First Fleet of the New World Navy.
On that battleship as the flagship.
"General, the G5 branch has raised a flag and asked us to stop advancing immediately."
"The reason is that they have not received any notification from the Ministry that we will be coming, so they cannot confirm our identity."
"And they said that if we don't stop advancing, they will open fire immediately!"
A colonel trotted into the bridge and reported after saluting the Akainu.
"Moving on, the G5 branch is equipped with the original navy's standard artillery, with an accurate firing range of only about 300 meters, although the maximum firing range can indeed reach 1 kilometer, but there is almost no accuracy."
"Moreover, even if that old shell hits us, it won't do much damage to our ironclad!"
"Tell the battle alarm to sound, everyone is immediately in position and ready for battle, and if the G5 branch really dares to open fire, immediately knock out all their coastal artillery positions."
"Yes, General!"
Speaking of which.
If Akainu really wants to do it, he can even go to the G5 branch by himself and kill everyone.
But this was the first time he had commanded such a large steel fleet, so he also wanted to experience the ground-washing ability of this giant ship's cannon.
This is a very interesting thing, and today's Akainu has a feeling that commanding the operation of such a powerful fleet is even more powerful than relying on his own crushing strength to kill in the past...
More feeling!!
That's why I didn't ride alone.
Soon, the fleet approached within a kilometer, and at this very moment, the G5 branch really opened fire.
Although the artillery is very backward and the shells are still spherical shells, after all, it is one of the only two naval bases rooted in the New World, and its number of artillery pieces is still quite large, more than 200 pieces.
This wave of volleys down, at least the power is in place.
It's just that, as Akainu said, the kind of front-loading smoothbore gun with outdated technology, plus spherical shells, this quasi-head...
Of the 200 shells that came down, only one could land within 10 meters of the warship.
The point is that it was also directly hit by a certain colonel on a destroyer, and failed to pose any threat.
The next moment, the ships that had already calibrated every artillery position on the G5 branch directly opened fire and counterattacked.
Anyway, the G5 branch is also a naval base, and its architectural drawings and the deployment location of the coastal artillery positions can be retrieved by Sean at any time.
Whoa...
Boom boom boom...
As a wave of blows fell, more than 30 percent of the artillery positions along the coast were directly hit.
And the remaining part, although it was not directly hit, but more than fifty percent, because the landing point was too close, it was also affected by those super-large caliber naval guns, and it was almost in a half-destroyed state.
Then, in the remaining positions that could still fire, the sailors of the G5 branch were diligently cleaning the barrels in preparation for the second fire...
The fleet on the surface of the sea took the lead and delivered a second blow.
This made everyone in the G5 branch start to doubt their lives.
Obviously, the first wave was the first fire we fired at, but how did the second wave turn out to be that you fired first?
And according to this interval, I'm afraid that if you don't fire 3-4 times, we can only fire 1 time, right?
Hit far, hit accurately, and powerful, not to mention these, even the frequency of fire is so high, and it doesn't give people a little way to live...
Suddenly, the sailors who were still alive on the entire coast directly dispersed.
They fled their positions and withdrew to the branches behind.
"Damn it!"
"Everyone, withdraw to the branch and prepare for street fighting!"
Knowing that he could no longer stop it, Virgo shouted and retreated with the others.
Although Sean's warships were strong, as long as everyone withdrew to the branch fortress, then it was impossible for them to continue to bombard with naval guns.
After all, there are only two branches of the Navy in the New World, and each of them is extremely precious, so you can't just erase one, right?
Therefore, as long as you withdraw to the branch fortress, and then drag it out for a while in street fighting, and wait for the young master to come.
That's how Virgo planned it.
However, whether it is in the eyes of Sean or Akainu, this G5 branch is already a group of traitors, traitors who need to be completely eliminated.
Don't say anything about innocent sailors.
In this big dye vat, the sailors who insist on justice will not survive.
Either you go along with it, or you die "accidentally"!
Therefore, Akainu has no pressure at all.
Besides, he had given them a chance before, telling them that they only needed to take Virgo and wait for him to deal with it.
But apparently, none of them listened.
"Command the fleet, all naval guns are aimed at the G5 branch!"
"Wipe it off the island!"
Looking at the large number of sailors of the G5 branch, they are constantly retreating and fleeing into the fortress.
Akainu waved his hand and ordered directly.
It's a pity to erase this fortress?
If it had been before, Akainu might have thought so.
But since seeing with my own eyes how this guy Sean mobilized so many companies to complete the super project of the entire New World Navy Headquarters in two and a half months.
Akainu no longer has that kind of thought.
Isn't it just a branch?
What about erasing it?
Even if it is not erased, I am afraid that Sean will directly bulldoze and rebuild it later.
So...
It doesn't matter, does it?
"Fire!"
Boom boom boom...
On the other side, Virgo, who had already pushed into the branch fortress, after seeing the cannonballs falling from the sky...
My face is black!
