1691 Gangfei Storm (7)
"Boom!"
Countless white smoke shrouded the foggy sea, as if a huge white smoke bomb exploded on the sea level, and the salvo of hundreds of Thor of the Chekov detachment suddenly erupted, setting off a huge column of water like boiling on the sea, "snapping" the light battleship that served as the forward ship in the front of the enemy fleet, and was immediately hit into a hornet's nest by countless whistling shells.
In an instant, a ball of fireball exploded at a distance of about 500 meters in front of the Falcon Navy, and the side of the dragon's tooth battleship with full firepower fired in order, and the rumbling cannon sound suddenly resounded continuously across the sea, one after another Thor bullets, and fierce firelight illuminated the entire sea.
In the dense fog of the sea, which is almost impossible to see at a distance of thousands of meters, the jet of sparks is even more eye-catching than the midday sun, especially the Dragon-class battleships with the most fierce firepower,
, The deck flew into the air with the explosion, and the mast of the battleship broke into several sections in mid-air, and then directly crushed the dilapidated battleship below, and there were rising water columns everywhere, like the whole sea was boiling, and the continuous and more violent explosions were like a row of huge fireballs shrouded in front of the fleet, causing the waves of the sea water, almost 8 heavy local battleships were directly blown up, and then exploded in mid-air, and the fragments of the planks and the corpses of the Northern Sakha people were all poured into the dark red sea in free fall。
But for a huge group of more than 250 ships, this little loss is just a little scratch of the surface, and the number of warships is getting more and more, densely covering the entire sea, because the forward warships are attacked, and the entire group of ships is temporarily stopped.
The news of the attack on the fleet quickly reached the command room of the flagship of the Gangfei Army in the rear.
The encounter was completely unexpected between the two sides, and Chekov on the Falcon naval side was stunned, so that the commander of the Congo Navy, Marquis Longiamu, who was also examining the charts. Raised his head with a curious look, golden handsome hair, and a cold and straight face, all show that this is a person with a resolute character, in the Congo-Africa Navy, Marquis Rangiamu is known as the most outstanding genius commander of the Navy in the past 30 years, entered the Gangaf Naval Academy at the age of eleven, and entered the Congo-Africa Navy at the age of fifteen with the first grade, from the captain of a small warship to the commander of the main fleet commanding thirty-seven large warships. It took only eleven years for the Marquis of Rangiamu to die, except after his death
He looked at the stammering gestures of the communications officer who came to report the situation, and finally described the situation, "My lord, the forward fleet asks for instructions, whether it needs to retreat! After all, the situation is unclear now, and the forward fleet thinks that if you get too close, you may fall into an ambush circle!" The communication officer said cautiously, "Retreat? What are you kidding?" Rangiamu snorted angrily, he didn't expect to encounter the Falcon Navy here. In addition to feeling the audacity of the enemy, it was also emotionally and intellectually unable to accept the fact that the forward fleet was thinking of escaping as soon as it came into contact
When, the mighty Gangnon Navy. It's time to be stopped by a small fleet!
"This is just offshore, and the route is so secretive...... The possibility that the other party was deliberately ambushed can be ruled out!" Rangiamu pondered various possibilities, and in the incoherent description of the communication officer, Rangiamu rarely grasped a trace of the truth. ,
It is clear that the winter fog off the coast often leads ships to lose their way. , this sudden encounter of the Falcon Navy fleet is such a lost lamb,
What a gift from heaven!" A cold light flashed in Rangiamu's eyes, Huo Ran got up from his seat and walked back and forth in the cabin for a few steps,
With a heavy fist on the table, Rangiamu made up his mind and ordered loudly, "Order the forward fleet, eat it with all your might, this is the best sacrifice to boost the morale of the whole family before this big battle, order the sixth and eighth local squadrons on the flanks to lean forward with all their might, regardless of losses, and must completely annihilate this Falcon Navy!"
Since the Falcon Navy lost its armor and disarmed its armor in the southwest region, and the defeat in the Battle of Cassilee, from top to bottom, from the fleet commander to every sailor, they all have a phobia of the powerful Falcon Navy fleet from their hearts, even Langiamu himself has to admit that according to the current combat strength of the Ganganon-Navy, under the same combat conditions, to sink a Falcon Navy warship, it takes four to six Gang-Africa warships of the same type!
This time, the Navy, which accurately grasped the characteristics of the Navy, which is prone to a large area of fog in the coastal waters of Gangfei in winter, and is almost indistinguishable from a distance of 1,000 meters, took advantage of the Falcon Navy's arrogant psychology of scattered attacks, and used its absolute superiority to set up an ambush in the area of the Sea of Fog near Kyoto.
All it takes is to send a small fleet to lead the Falcon Navy approaching outside into the Sea of Fog, and the outnumbered Gangfei Navy clusters will rush up and carry out a brutal siege
Even if the Falcon Navy has a trembling Thor, in a close combat, Thor's long-range feature will be wiped out, and the trebuchet of a non-naval battleship can break through the deck of the Falcon Navy battleship without hindrance, which is the best way to reduce the gap in combat power between the two sides.
In order to achieve the maximum effect of the counterattack, the Congo-Africa Navy has gone all out, in addition to the main force of the two detachments that have just been withdrawn from the south, it has also assembled all the warships that can fight along the way, with a total of 258 ships, which is definitely the largest military build-up of the Congo-Africa Navy in the past 30 years, and it is also a heavyweight counterattack that the Gang-Africa Navy has been building up for a long time.
In the event of victory, after strangling the main force of the Falcon Navy, the Congo-Africa Navy will be inserted into the northern waters of Gang-Africa to recapture the lost northern hub of the island of Kexili
It is undeniable that this battle plan is very well formulated.
Even Dustrenkai, the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, who had rich combat experience, did not expect that the Gangfei Navy would dare to take advantage of the unique climate to launch a desperate Jedi counterattack, and if it were not for the accidental loss of the Chekov Fleet, the various detachments of the Falcon Navy, which were surrounding the waters of Gangnon-Kyoto, would be in a strangulation battle in which the weather was at a disadvantage. It is inevitable that they will suffer heavy losses and fall into a battle to the death that is difficult to get rid of, which will be a devastating disaster for the Falcon Imperial Navy, not to mention the loss of the battleship, just the heavy price of the death of all the excellent sailors is enough to close the gap between the Falcon Imperial Navy and the Falcon Imperial Navy.
The forward ship group that received the order began to advance, and in front of them was a fierce blocking line formed by the fourteen Dragon's Tooth battleships and three Dragon-class battleships, and countless volleys of fire erupted from the sides of the Dragon's Tooth battleship, this unexpected encounter. Drove both sides crazy,
Relying on the superiority in numbers, the Gangfei Navy was not afraid of casualties, only to see black spheres dragging their tails of black smoke whizzing and flying, booming! The battleship under its feet exploded like a ball that had been forcefully inflated. Countless people were thrown along with debris, and the fierce shelling made the Gangfei forward fleet pay a tragic price, and the near-missed bullets continued to fall, setting off a column of water, which made many Gangfei Imperial Navy, who had never seen such a scene, frightened and slowed down.
"Shoot, take out the slowdowns first!"
The Falcon Navy's gunners preferred these targets, and several rounds of Thor shells landed on the deck of the Gang Fei fleet and exploded, fueling the fire. The fire on the battleship became more and more intense, and at first only the middle deck began to burn, and in less than a few minutes, the fire quickly spread to the front and rear ends of the battleship. The fierce fire surrounded the entire battleship, and the hull of the "Boom" was covered by a violent explosion, and all the masts were immediately broken. Even the side of the ship on the left side of the "pop" was smashed down with the sails and shattered, and the sea water poured in desperately, and there was no chance to rescue the ground, and the bow of the battleship began to and sink rapidly,
In the thick firelight, countless Gangfei sailors jumped into the sea, and a battleship approached the burning local fleet flagship, trying to pick up the people above, but the raging fire on the flagship made it unable to get close quickly, and after two consecutive attempts, the battleship successfully approached the tail that had not yet caught fire.
Several sailors hurriedly pulled a middle-aged non-officer onto the rescue rope, however. God seemed to have doomed the captain to the end, just as he was about to board the temporary wooden plank bridge and prepare to board the new battleship, suddenly, the figure of such a captain was once again covered by a violent explosion nearby, but in the billowing black smoke that rose "Bastard, is the other party crazy, it's just a desperate rush up!" Chekov put down the lookout with a somewhat anxious expression, the scene just now was still floating in his mind, the officer's death was secondary, but the bravery of the Gang Fei Navy greatly exceeded his expectations,
The fleet's endurance has reached its limit, in just half an hour, the entire gun compartment is even more foggy than the fog outside, there is a choking saltpeter smell everywhere, and the fierce artillery fire is spectacular, but the connotation represented here is the weakness of the Falcon Navy's ammunition that is beginning to be insufficient,
The modified Dragon's Tooth Ship is good to say, with an ammunition warehouse, and there are only 20 Thor on the side, and the consumption can continue to shoot for a period of time, like the ammunition storage of the three Dragon-class battleships, it is completely disappearing at an alarming speed, and every spectacular salvo is going further to the death of the bullets, just now, the first mate Etek has come to report that the ammunition will last less than half an hour! "Boom!"
Not far away, a dragon's tooth battleship that was testing outside suddenly exploded violently, and the hull was almost broken, and in front of this dragon's tooth battleship, one after another majestic battleships were directly hit by fireballs without any barrier. The heavy outer deck of the battleship was scattered and scattered, and the hard shell was directly torn apart by the meteor-like flames.
Several Gangfei battleships that forcibly rushed up desperately threw red fireballs at the Dragon's Tooth ship that had entered the firing range, and the fire ignited a part of the Thor shells on the deck that had not had time to be transported to the gun compartment. The main attack weapon of the Congolese warship is the oil-soaked projectile. Specially used to attack the opponent's battleship deck after ignition, destroying the opponent's canvas, these flammable materials were piled up on the lower deck, which was ignited at one time, and the violent explosion and fire wave rose up a pillar of fire more than ten meters high, and the fierce flames spread out one after another on this dragon's tooth battleship, and the deck was shattered
Chekov looked at the first dragon's tooth battleship in his detachment that had been destroyed, his pupils constricted unnaturally, and the flames spread to the ammunition depot, and the real huge explosion was like a huge pillar of fire rising from the sea, and countless fires exploded in the middle of this dragon's tooth battleship,
"Damn it. I can't carry it like this!"
Chekov slammed his fist on the side of the ship with an angry expression, the white light of the explosion scorched his eyes, and the red and bright fire light in the distance shone on his uncertain face, and on the battleship that was hit, many Falcon Navy sailors jumped directly into the sea from the deck almost ten meters high, and even jumped directly into the sea from the top of the mast more than twenty meters high, smashing dark red waves on the ice floe on the sea surface, and those who did not have time to jump into the sea were directly swept by the whistling flames, and a miserable scream came. The tragedy was extremely fierce, and the one hundred and fifty sailors on the entire Dragon Tooth battleship basically did not survive.
Even those who were lucky enough to jump into the sea only fluttered a few times in the cruel sea of ice, and then disappeared, and all the ships were fighting to the death! No one had the strength to carry out the rescue, but could only watch their colleagues die, but the first dragon's tooth ship sank tragically. Let the Falcon Navy sailors on other warships suddenly become silent, there is the first, there will be the second, under the fierce bombardment of the fleet. More than seventeen Gang Fei warships have been sunk or damaged, and the wreckage of the battleship is floating on the sea not far away, but the Gang Fei Ren who was defeated by one touch in the past has shown amazing tenacity this time.
"Smack!"
As the distance approaches. Catapults from non-naval warships have begun to appear intensively in the area of the smaller Dragon's Tooth battleships, and if it were not for the modification and thickening of the baffle, the losses of the Dragon's Tooth battleships would have reappeared. The column of water raised by the live bomb made the dragon's tooth battleship sway from side to side, and the balls with flames were like stars rising in the night sky, and even Chekov had a trace of illusion on the flagship, it was the starlight shining on the sea, even if the huge hull of the dragon-class battleship was smashed into the side, the hull could not be suppressed and exploded into balls of fire,
"Hold on!"
On another Dragon-class battleship of the Chekov detachment, the captain has completely given up the plan to fight in a roundabout way, the broken hull, the broken sails, and the huge catapult rain on the opposite side are still like warriors fighting to the death, fighting with the approaching wolves.
All the explosive bombs have been fired, and the captain can only order the chain ball bomb used to destroy the opponent's sail is also used, and the sailors who carry the chain ball are sweating profusely in the cold night, and the shellers almost don't even need to aim, they directly fire at the huge hull that is dangling not far away,
The fire was like a cloud, and it seemed that even the white fog around it was burning,
The flames turned the surrounding sea into a blood-red color, and the two huge iron balls hung on an iron chain. The crisp and piercing sound of squeezing and shattering sounded intensively in front, launched from the rumbling muzzle, the iron ball rotated at high speed with a violent whistling sound, and fell on the side of a Gangfei battleship in front, the hull directly came to a disembowelment, and the broken wood flew sideways, even if it was a solid baffle, it could not block the close strike of the chain ball, the solid iron ball relied on the huge inertia, smashed into it and smashed into the qiē obstruction inside, the hull of the Gangfei battleship that was hit shook violently, quickly stopped, and finally stopped completely on the sea, the huge hull was like a lifeless fish swinging sideways, you can clearly see the chaotic figure running back and forth above,
"It's Bix's Seawolf!"
Chekov was stunned to see the Dragon-class battleship of the Waves, which was the core of the first echelon of defense, suddenly detached from the position of the core of the fleet, and rushed directly towards the oncoming Gangfei ship group "Snap" A smaller Gangfei battleship was directly squeezed open, and the ship's side was shattered, the size of the Seawolf was much higher than that of other Gangfei naval warships, and the tonnage was far beyond the main warship of the Gangfei Navy
The bombardiers frantically reloaded and fired frantically in the hysterical shouts, like a huge sword that slashed through the weak neck, blasting open the deck and side of the opposing enemy battleship, and the thrill of this-for-tat charge made every sailor's face show bloodthirsty hideousness
The violent explosion and the creepy screams in the middle resounded across the sea, and the imposing Gangfei Navy was obviously stunned.
Yiqiē's brutality and arrogance, in front of this unscrupulous raider, turned into panic and humiliation,
Huge tonnage, collisions that are not afraid of death, and the fierce bombardment that presses them at close range,
"Boom" Another Gang Fei warship is like a tomato that has been stabbed, the huge flames are torn apart from the side, and the roar that shook the sea surface has a kind of awe-inspiring magic, like a chilling rage!
The warships around it finally showed a trace of timidity, and the tide of attack was like a bad blow.
They scattered to both sides of the lifeless, as if no one wanted to provoke this madman
Above Chekov's head, the flag-bearer on the mast was shouting in a terrible voice, "The Seawolf has sent a flag, the enemy is overwhelming, please withdraw the main force of the fleet immediately!" (to be continued......)
