Five Hundred and Forty-Nine Battles of the North Sea
On the sea full of wreckage, the sharp bow of the guided missile destroyer of the Elland Hill Navy cut through the waves, and at a very high speed, it knocked away a small wooden boat that blocked its route.
The escape boat full of demon soldiers sank in the sea in an instant, leaving only a few planks still rippling in the water.
Not far behind the guided missile destroyer, the giant battleship Victory of Ireland Hill is using the 406mm heavy guns equipped on its own battleship to fire at the farther demon battleship.
The sound of the artillery that shook the ground echoed on the sea, and with the white missile tracks flying in the sky, the whole battlefield seemed very lively.
"Boom!" Already moving forward, the Arranhill artillery cruiser approaching the demon fleet is firing non-stop salvos. Those powerful 203mm caliber artillery are actually faster than the powerful 406mm caliber main guns in terms of rate of fire. The gun is much taller, and the ability to dump ammunition is stronger.
In the face of demon warships with poor defense capabilities, these 203 mm caliber artillery can achieve even more amazing results, and at the same time save ammunition.
After all, 406mm shells really take up a lot of space, and even the super battleship of Alan Hill cannot carry too many.
The 203 mm caliber shells are different. Even cruisers can carry sufficient ammunition, and their lethality against demon warships is not weak.
In addition, in terms of manufacturing costs, 203 mm caliber shells are much, much cheaper than 406 mm caliber shells.
At a distance of 20 kilometers, the gunfire pouring ability of the artillery cruiser is quite impressive, and it is actually not weak compared to the battleship-the only difference between the two is actually the ability to damage heavily armored targets.
After all, 406 mm caliber shells can penetrate half a meter thick hardened armor plate, but 203 mm caliber artillery may not even be able to penetrate the same thickness of 300 mm steel plate.
However, the devil's battleship does not have such a thick armor protection at all, so for the battleship of Alan Hill, it is more economical to attack these thin-skinned and stuffed targets with 203mm artillery shells.
At this moment, six artillery cruisers of Alan Hill lined up, relying on their powerful firepower, across the path of the demon navy. Constantly using fierce artillery fire to sink the demon navy warship that was trying to approach.
Their efficiency is really too high. These warships equipped with MK16 self-loading naval guns can automatically load shells at any artillery elevation angle.
Maintain a terrifying rate of fire of 10 rounds per minute.
With such a high rate of fire, these cruisers are simply demon warships in the face of carnage. Before the opponent entered the attack range of the magic cannon, he was hit by these shells with equally terrifying armor-piercing capabilities, broke and sank in the martyrdom explosion.
With the progress of this North Sea naval battle, Alan Hill's main fleet has adjusted its formation, forming a "V" formation, and the two wings have sandwiched the demon fleet in the middle.
The agile and faster Ellanhill fleet dispatched destroyer fleets to harass the periphery, with cruisers as the main force to storm the opponent's flanks, defeating the main force of the demon fleet.
The fleet deployed on both wings of the Demon Fleet was defeated by the battleship fleet commanded by Genesis. They suffered heavy losses and had to change their course in the same way.
But when the demon fleet changed its course and tried to separate and break through, it was discovered that Alan Hill's sky fleet had already arrived behind him.
After a scuffle, the left wing of the Demon Fleet was held back by Mahir's 2nd Cruiser Fleet. Although it was still attacking non-stop, it was already at the end of its strength.
The main force of the Demon Fleet on the other side was overwhelmed by Genesis and Wagron's pincers, completely unable to assist the decoy fleet in the encirclement.
The demon decoy fleet caught in the V shape has been almost eaten up now. After persisting for such a long time, they now only have the ability to be beaten.
Standing on the wall of the devil's floating castle, the devil general who was in charge of commanding this battle looked at the battlefield with thick smoke billowing in the distance while clenching his fists with an ugly face.
Most of his fleet has been eaten up, but the peripheral warships that were supposed to pinch the human fleet are still missing.
The originally agreed battle plan has now become a complete joke: the intelligence sent by the liaison officer shows that the forces deployed by humans on the left and right wings are even stronger than those of the demon fleet.
This is very interesting: who is surrounding whom? If this kind of plan to encircle human beings turns out to be surrounded by human beings, then from the moment this battle started, would the demon fleet be over?
"Hundreds of warships! How could it be so vulnerable? Order the 4th and 5th fleets to attack the two wings!" He looked at the officer behind him threateningly, and ordered loudly.
The officer standing behind him looked embarrassed, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then reported: "My lord... The 4th Fleet has been severely damaged, and I have no ability to get away and turn the bow to fight back."
"What about the 5th Fleet? Huh?" Some angry demon generals asked loudly: "Let the 5th Fleet launch a fierce attack on the right wing! Break through the human fleet and cut off the connection between them..."
Hearing this unrealistic order, the officer had no choice but to bite the bullet and pass the order—but he knew very well that if the 5th Fleet could break through the encirclement of humans, cut off the opponent's fleet formation, and disrupt the opponent's deployment, They are not so passive now.
In fact, from the destruction of the 1st Fleet and the 2nd Fleet, it can be seen that the current encirclement on his side is caused by the absolute gap in combat power.
If you want to challenge the enemy's superior technology with inferior technology in naval warfare, you are basically courting death.
But now, the demon commander is doing this kind of unnecessary struggle: hundreds of warships have been sunk, but the demon fleet only sank two small human warships not long ago.
Those were two guided missile destroyers. Because the missiles were exhausted, they were destroyed by the demon bats and dragons. But then a human battleship arrived, drove away the demon bat and dragon, and rescued the human soldiers who fell into the water.
The only victory was achieved by the Air Force, which embarrassed the Demon Fleet. In fact, they have only fired less than a hundred shots since the start of the war. Because of the disadvantages of the magic cannon in range and serious flaws in accuracy, most of these attacks did not cause any damage to the human fleet. trouble.
"Damn it, when did these bastard humans become so strong?" The demon general of the industrialized fleet who just arrived in this world and just saw humans complained in a low voice full of resentment.
Before the words of his complaint fell to the ground, the demon floating castle under his feet suddenly trembled.
Immediately afterwards, the demon general frowned, and when he opened his mouth to ask the people around him what happened, he felt the floating castle he was stepping on suddenly tremble, and then shook violently.
"What's going on? What happened?" He leaned on the crenel on the city wall, managed to stand still, and shouted loudly: "Check the inside of the castle! Go and see what happened!"
"Boom!" Under the core tower of the castle in the distance, a huge thick smoke rose into the air, followed by a deafening explosion, and then the floating magic circle under the demon castle began to weaken.
"The core has exploded!" The demon general who was familiar with the structure of the demon castle suddenly realized that something was wrong, but when he realized all this, it was too late to stop the demon floating castle under his feet from going to destruction.
In the next second, he felt something flying past him, because the speed was so fast that he didn't even hear the sharp sound of breaking the wind.
Everything was so quiet, and everything was so fast, almost when the demon general felt something flying by, the thing had passed by where he was standing and crashed into the walls of the castle.
In just an instant, the thing penetrated the thick walls of the castle, penetrated a house behind the wall, and penetrated the house behind this house.
The huge kinetic energy shattered these houses all at once. Before the broken rubble fell to the ground, the thing crashed into the core of the castle, and it was no longer visible.
Not even a second passed, the demon castle, which was already collapsing, began to disintegrate and collapse even faster.
"What is that?" The thing flying past him was so fast that he didn't even see what it was. So the demon general looked at the subordinates beside him and asked in horror.
Or, it's not that he really doesn't know, so he wants to ask, but it's just a way to vent, to vent the fear in his heart, to vent the anger that he is about to lose.
No one answered him, because the demons didn't know what had just passed by. They only know that the thing easily penetrated the reinforced magic defense barrier around the demon castle, and instantly penetrated the city wall, the house, and the ground tens of meters thick, destroying the floating castle. power core.
Thus, amidst the silence, the power core of this huge floating castle could no longer maintain stability, and it exploded in an instant. A huge explosion appeared in the sky, and the entire demon castle exploded into countless pieces, like a piece of falling hail, falling on the head of the panicked demon fleet.
And in the sky more than 50 kilometers away, in the sealed artillery control room, the human artillery commander stood on his command position with his hands behind his back, and raised his chin and loudly reminded his subordinates: "Change the track... Railgun reloading begins!"
