Three Hundred and Sixty Evolutions
"Let the destroyers and cruisers outflank the past! Attack the enemy's flanks first! Take advantage of the speed! The battleship troops are head-on! Keep firing!" Putting down the binoculars again, Laurens changed the formation of his fleet.
The long serpentine array was immediately divided into three squadrons. The battleships and some cruisers with relatively large gun calibers remained in the front, while some light cruisers began to accelerate forward.
These cruisers were built with varying degrees of new technology, and the previous coal-fired boilers were eliminated in favor of oil-fired powertrains. Because of this, the speed of these cruisers is much faster than the speed of the old cruisers.
The single-ship speed of many cruisers can even reach an astonishing 50 kilometers per hour, which is much faster than dreadnoughts.
It's just that when they are together with the dreadnought formation, their speed is restricted.
Now, they are ordered to act alone, which is equivalent to lifting the seal. Therefore, soon these warships with small artillery calibers accelerated away from the slower main fleet.
At the rear of the entire fleet, the destroyer fleet that was following in the distance also received an order at this time, and began to turn its bow and chose a more aggressive route.
"I don't have so many textbook tactics! I only know one! Punch the old master to death!" Laurence grinned and said to the adjutant standing beside him: "When the bayonet is used, I will Look at the demon's fleet, how capable it is!"
He is almost in a state of fearlessness now, backed by the Osa military port, as long as he buys enough time, the demon's fleet will become more and more disadvantaged.
Soon, Alan Hill's new destroyers will be in service, and those destroyers with missiles will have more combat capabilities than the warships in his hands now.
By that time, the navy of Ireland Hill would not be a defensive navy. He will command his fleet to go out to the endless sea and take the initiative to find the demon naval fleet for a decisive battle.
Therefore, the current Laurens doesn't care about losses at all, he just needs to do his best to fight the battle in front of him.
"Continue to fire! Let the demons focus on the front! It's important to give them a little bait and let them bite the hook!" Laurens dispersed his squadron and came to the crescent formation. He stood still in the middle, posing as if he wanted to attack the demon fleet from three sides.
Inside the floating castle, seeing Alan Hill's fleet began to divide into three groups, the demon general snorted coldly and raised the corner of his mouth: "You want to eat my fleet? It's not a small appetite! I want to see it. ,
Is your flanking faster, or is my central breakthrough faster! "
In fact, this is a collision in the tactical arrangement. Sometimes it is not stupid or idiot. I don't know that the enemy is flanking from the two wings, and my side is in danger.
Sometimes, the party that divides the troops is actually the party that takes the initiative to take risks, and concentrating the troops to defeat them individually is a more reasonable tactical arrangement.
Seeing that the Demon Fleet did not divide its troops, but instead picked up the regiment and rushed directly into the encirclement of the Alan Hill Navy, Laurens knew that the enemy was going to fight him decisively.
After all, the demons know that they can't afford to drag them. The nuclear weapons that will fly anytime, anywhere, and when they don't know when, are the swords of Damocles that really hang over their heads.
It is absolutely reasonable to use this kind of central breakthrough tactics for the demon fleet that pursues a quick solution.
Moreover, from another point of view, the strategic attempt of the demon fleet to go north is to land to destroy Osa, or to control Pilipi Island.
If the naval battle is protracted, the preparations for the battle will become more and more complete, and the suddenness of the attack on these two places will disappear.
Therefore, no matter which direction you look at, a quick battle to eliminate the human naval fleet in front of you as soon as possible is a strategic task that the demon fleet has to complete.
"Boom!" Alan Hill's navy started the third salvo, also 24 shells, which also fell within the Demon Navy fleet.
This time, the accuracy of the hit was higher, and three shells directly hit the demon battleship, which instantly sank three huge black battleships.
The demon battleship is not a battleship in the true sense. This kind of appearance looks majestic and a strange battleship covered with barbs. Although its defense capability is greatly improved than that of a sailboat, it is not as strong as it looks.
Its defense improvement is mainly reflected in the two innovations of the steel shell and the magic defense barrier. Unfortunately, the Magic Defense Barrier was barely able to deal with small-caliber artillery, but it seemed powerless to deal with large-caliber artillery.
At the same time, the steel hull, which is not armor and has a very general thickness, has very limited physical defense performance for large-caliber artillery shells above 300 mm. Therefore, it is not surprising that the hull was penetrated all at once.
As a result, the three demon battleships broke off and exploded, and there was no possibility of persistence at all. The unfortunate demon battleship that was penetrated by the hull earlier has now completely disappeared into the sea.
After all, these battleships are powered by magic. This kind of power system is very unstable. As long as it is destroyed, a large-scale explosion will occur, which is almost the same as the explosion of a gasoline engine of a tank.
However, the smallest of these demon warships in front of them are more than 150 meters long, and their volume is really huge. When they explode, they are far more spectacular than tanks.
"啾!" On the other side, on the demon battleship that had been passively beaten, the magic-guided gun turret with a huge magic circle engraved with magic inscriptions also spewed huge energy.
The demon fleet began to fight back. They couldn't take care of the problem of aiming. They couldn't bear it any longer. They started a frantic attack on the main fleet of Alan Hill.
The demon fleet, which has an absolute advantage in number, fired dozens of warships in one breath, and countless magic-guided artillery energy bombs flew towards the target. For a time, Ailan Hill's fleet was shrouded in artillery fire.
Some of the blazing energy directly slammed into the sea water next to the Airland Hill battleship, and it also stirred up a water column that was several tens of meters high. Some of the energy is very poor, directly crossing the fleet of Ailan Hill, and flying far away before crashing into the sea and exploding.
This round of frenzied attacks also did not cause any trouble to Alan Hill's fleet. However, this splendid attack also made Laurence, who had never seen this scene, feel the strength of the enemy.
It was completely different from the previous enemies who could not fight back, or had no effect at all. This time the enemy was not the target, so Laurens instantly felt the pressure on his shoulders.
It's a pity that his tactical arrangement has been implemented, and now he can't change anything, all he can do is just wait, wait for a result.
His Majesty the Emperor Chris once said that the navy is a very tragic service, because it is the only service that can lose the entire war in one morning...
Before, when Laurens' navy was invincible, he used to disapprove of this sentence, but now, at this moment, he really agrees with this sentence.
"Hurry up and reload! The distance is good for us!" Laurens urged his subordinates, and the whole bridge was in a busy atmosphere.
"Boom!" As the distance between the two sides continued to narrow, the main guns began to roar on the cruiser behind the battleship.
These 203mm guns joined the roar. This time, it wasn't just the 305mm main gun that fired, so the number of shells that flew into the enemy's camp suddenly increased exponentially.
A dense rain of cannonballs fell, and above the demon fleet, the magic circles of those huge magical defense barriers were hit by these cannonballs and splashed with ripples.
Magical resonance shells shattered these defensive barriers, and more shells fell, hitting the decks of the demon battleships.
The sturdy and heavy-looking demon battleship was hit by these long-range artillery shells, and soon burst into flames and smoke, turning into steel coffins one by one.
The poor demons on these battleships have not had time to show their strength and ferocity, and along with their battleships, they have become food for all kinds of creatures in the ocean.
Many battleships collided with each other in burning and exploding. Those demon battleships that gathered together and seemed to have great morale were in chaos at this moment, and even the most basic order disappeared.
The reloading time of the magic cannon is too slow, and the interval between attacks is too long. After the naval battleship of Alan Hill fired another round of salvos, these demon battleships that fired in the first round did not have time to shoot their second. salvo.
If it weren't for the existence of the floating castle above their heads, perhaps this naval battle would have turned into a one-sided massacre.
Seeing that his fleet had lost dozens of battleships in one go, the Demon General standing behind the crenel was a little helpless.
You must know that not all of his fleets are naval battleships. On these battleships, there is also a demon army for landing!
If he fights with the human navy here, where will he go to find the landing troops, destroy Osa, and land on Pilipi Island?
He must destroy the human navy in front of him as soon as possible, and then rush to the beach to land and mix with the enemy before humans drop the atomic bomb. This is his initial plan, and now he still thinks this plan is the most perfect action plan.
"Let the demonic dragon troops push forward! Take off the demon fighter jets! Cover the floating castle! Prepare all the magic guns on the castle! Target the human fleet!" The demon general commanded word by word to the shadow behind him.
