Chapter 894 Kill From the Rear
(It’s a bit unbearable to update 10,000 words every day for dozens of days. Let’s not talk about the problem of wrist pain, and the idea of the article seems to be a bit slow. Adjusting. If you have any suggestions, please leave a message in the book review area. Thank you.
By the way, I held up my red and swollen hands—asking for a ticket. )
In the east of the sea, the aircraft carrier of the Shang Dynasty is rolling forward. On the huge aircraft carrier, there is only a faint light.
In the sky, the plane is dancing and searching. No such luck here, so far nothing has been found.
However, Gao Shirong on the aircraft carrier was not in a hurry, at least on the surface, he was not in a hurry.
In fact, the reason is very simple, because it would take almost a day at the current speed of the aircraft carrier just to run 9,000 kilometers; and if the Bian Guo fleet circled so far, it would probably take longer.
In other words, if Gao Shirong's calculation is correct, the aircraft carrier may encounter Bian Guo's fleet tomorrow night. Of course, the premise is that the estimate is correct and the deviation should not be too large.
However, Gao Shirong didn't put all his eggs in one basket, and he left more than a dozen patrol ships along the way. Once the enemy fleet is spotted, these patrol ships with a height of 450 kilometers should be able to escape. Besides, there are aircraft to cooperate with patrol ships.
…………
Here near the sea, Jing Xiaowei followed the direction of the ripples and finally saw Bian's first fleet—a very small fleet. There are only six ships, which can be roughly judged by their outlines: one 10,000-ton warship and five 5,000-ton warships.
The direction of Bian's fleet was not going directly north, but heading northeast.
"It's so insidious. If the plane didn't block the starlight, you might have escaped!" Seeing this, Jing Xiaowei sighed. Lament the enemy's cunning, but even more lament your own luck and the enemy's misfortune!
People are unlucky and have nothing to do. Drinking cold water will get stuck between the teeth.
But there are only six warships here, where are the rest?
High in the sky, Jing Xiaowei notified others of his discovery while investigating carefully. Not daring to get too close, Jing Xiaowei controlled his plane and kept circling fifty kilometers away.
Detect through water ripples, detect through the detection system on the plane, or watch directly with the naked eye. Finally, Jing Xiaowei found the second fleet thirty kilometers away. The fleet leaned slightly to the west.
Searching along the direction, Jing Xiaowei found the third, fourth, fifth... the twentieth one! A 30,000-ton flagship was also found.
A total of twenty small fleets moved forward in the shape of a bowl. This is like a big net.
"It's so insidious!" Jing Xiaowei once again sighed fiercely when he saw this formation. But then Jing Xiaowei laughed again—once the hidden enemy was discovered, the danger would be gone. What is in danger now is the country of Bian!
But are these fleets too small? This is only 121 warships. According to the intelligence system of the Shang Dynasty, Bian should have at least 200 warships - not including whether there are hidden ones!
While Jing Xiaowei passed on the message, he waited for more planes to come over and looked around. All the planes are careful not to get too close.
But apart from this fleet, no more ships were found.
When the admirals of the Shang Dynasty got the news, they were overjoyed—as expected by Marshal Gao Shirong, Bian Guo divided his forces, and a fleet headed further east. Not discovering more fleets is essentially a greater discovery.
Immediately pass this news to Gao Shirong in the distance. After receiving the news, Gao Shirong also smiled, and then commanded the fleet to move on.
Not to mention Gao Shirong's side. Let's talk about Ma Jianliang first, five fleets began to gather.
On the computer screen, Ma Jianliang was telling his plan: "According to the aircraft investigation, the speed of Bian Guo's warship is about 350 kilometers, and Bian Guo really spent a lot of money to rebuild the fleet.
But this speed is still relatively slow and cannot keep up with our speed.
Since we have the advantage of speed and have discovered the enemy's fleet, I think the best way is to follow up from behind, bite the enemy's tail, and chase after it! "
Chasing from the rear can form a "chasing effect", so that the enemy cannot escape the ending of being locked and wiped out; at the same time, chasing from the rear also makes the enemy's attack somewhat inconvenient.
After discussing for a while, everyone made a decision. The most difficult thing on the sea is to find the enemy. But once the enemy is found, the next step is the easiest - let's fight with fists!
In the Shang Dynasty, three fleets began to turn to the east. The strength of the three fleets was enough, and it happened to be "surrounded by three and lacked one". The other two fleets continued to search around, looking for any fish that slipped through the net.
The fleet of the Shang Dynasty suddenly changed direction, and the eyes of the audience in the ocean and on the sea immediately widened.
"There is a situation!" Ao Han wagged his tail and swam happily in the sea, "Xiaoling, let's follow up and have a look. I saw the naval battle between Jin and Liu two years ago, but it felt a little strange." It's enjoyable. Now it's the naval battle between the Shang Dynasty and the Bian Kingdom, it must be very exciting!"
"Yeah!" Bai Xiaoling nodded viciously, and then the two little guys swam forward excitedly; behind them, a group of dolphins were playing happily... I don't know if they will be happy again.
A little further away, Crown Prince Long, Second Prince Ao Zhen Ao Guang, and many Sea Clans also followed slowly.
On the sea, some merchant ships, etc., are also advancing with the fleet, preparing to see what kind of naval battle will break out ahead.
As time passed, the fleet turned around and turned in the vast sea, leaving white waves behind them. The audience all maintained the demeanor of a "true gentleman watching chess without words", or everyone wanted to see what a real naval battle would be like.
Gradually, dawn! White belly began to appear in the east. But the sky is bright, but the sea is still somewhat dark at this time. Even because of the flickering light, the line of sight was blocked for a while.
At this time, the three fleets of the Shang Dynasty had completed a big turn, and the direction of the fleet changed from south to northeast.
The sky was getting brighter and red clouds began to appear in the east, and the Bian fleet was still heading northeast.
The expected collision didn't happen, Cheng Yunbo was a little uneasy, but he was still a little fortunate—could it be that he passed the fleet of the Shang Dynasty in such a muddle-headed way?
Also, the sea is so vast, it would be too normal to just cross it!
Thinking of this, Cheng Yunbo immediately ordered the fleet to turn around and head northwest. This time, Cheng Yunbo is going to go straight to the coast of the Shang Dynasty, and will bombard the port of the Shang Dynasty at any cost!
The fleet slowly turned around, and suddenly, a silver reflection flashed from the corner of Cheng Yunbo's eyes. That is the light reflected from the sun shining on the high altitude, silver-gray light. It wasn't very strong, it seemed a little far away, but Cheng Yunbo didn't let it go.
His heart skipped a beat, his eyes narrowed, and Cheng Yunbo looked carefully into the distance. Even took out a telescope to observe.
After a long time, Cheng Yunbo's pupils suddenly shrank. In the distant sky, there were actually three silver-gray planes flying quietly, apparently following her side! If it weren't for the reflection of the sun just now, maybe it would not be possible to detect the other party at all.
At least fifty kilometers away, it is still hidden behind the clouds; if it is not a coincidence, it will be difficult to find!
But after seeing such a situation, Cheng Yunbo did not panic, but analyzed calmly.
First of all, I can be sure that I have been discovered by the fleet of the Shang Dynasty, but the fleet of the Shang Dynasty should not have followed!
Secondly, based on the position of the aircraft, the fleet of the Shang Dynasty is very likely...behind him!
Cheng Yunbo is an excellent general. He once served as an army general and was one of the four generals of the Jin State. He later switched to the navy and studied hard. Therefore, the form of the two sides was judged immediately.
Cheng Yunbo handed Qiao Pengfei over, and the two began to discuss. "Old Qiao, the situation is like this now. The enemy has discovered us and is already following us. The speed of the Shang Dynasty fleet should surpass us. Therefore, once the enemy catches up, we will only sink into the sea forever!
Now, we have another advantage: the Shang Dynasty probably didn't know that we had discovered them! This is already our only advantage. "
After Qiao Pengfei heard this, he immediately frowned and thought. After a while, Qiao Pengfei finally had a suggestion: "I think this is the only advantage that is not particularly useful.
After all, it is difficult for this advantage to win a decisive victory for us.
Since this is the case, it is better to give up this advantage, we will now turn around, go directly south, and take the initiative to choose a decisive battle! "
After a short pause, Qiao Pengfei continued: "Sometimes, too much emphasis on advantages leads to loss of courage. Too much emphasis on tactics leads to the neglect of blood!
If giving up an insignificant advantage allows us to charge with all our confidence, determination, and courage, I think this is worth considering. "
Cheng Yunbo closed his eyes and thought for a while, and finally breathed out: "Old Qiao, you are right! We need to fight back in the most powerful way."
Immediately, Cheng Yunbo ordered that the fleet immediately turn around and speed up the assault!
Direction, aiming directly at the opposite direction of the three aircraft's advance.
Not only did they change direction, but in the process, Bian's 121 warships also began to rearrange. The flagship is in the front, and the 120 warships behind are staggered by a certain distance in turn, forming a formation similar to a long snake formation. But it's not a complete one-word long snake formation.
The direction of the fleet's advance is from south to west; while the direction of the fleet's arrangement is from southwest to northeast. It looks like a moving saw blade, and every warship is a saw tooth.
The cannon barrels have been raised, and the shells are ready; all the soldiers, their eyes almost bloodshot, stand behind the cannons, as if ready to engage in full-scale war at any time.
Also, next to the guard formation of the warship, there are also soldiers ready to open the defense at any time.
There are even masters who are already standing on the bow of the ship and can take off into the air at any time.
Of course, the plane is indispensable. Although the quality of Bian Guo's aircraft is poor, it is still an aircraft. And at this time Bian Guo has more aircraft in number.
The change of Bian's formation was immediately detected by the planes in the sky.
After Ma Jianliang heard the news, he immediately made corresponding arrangements. The three fleets formed three formations 10 kilometers apart, forming a real long snake formation.
However, this so-called long snake array was not without consideration, but aimed at the bow of the Bian army with the side of the warship—that is, the so-called seizing the T position (horizontal ship’s side versus vertical bow). Because in the artillery battle, there are more artillery on the side of the ship, and the output firepower is stronger, which is an advantage.
The two fleets advanced rapidly, and their relative speed reached the limit.
Not long after the two sides adjusted their posture, the telescopes could already see each other's fleet.
The sea was full of waves, and the two fleets came head-on with an indomitable momentum. The tense atmosphere attracted countless eyes. All audiences are eagerly awaiting...
On the side of Bian, Cheng Yunbo pinched his fingers to calculate the distance, and suddenly shouted: "Now the distance is 50 kilometers, everyone is ready to fire as soon as it approaches 40 kilometers, and adjust the coordinates now."
At the same time, in the Shang Dynasty, Ma Jianliang was also estimating: "50 kilometers, our artillery can hit this distance, but if it is too far away, there is no accuracy at all. Wait, we have to wait until 40 kilometers to fire."
From 50 kilometers to 40 kilometers, each side only needs to travel 5 kilometers. According to the current speed, it only takes seven or eight minutes.
Finally, the two fleets fired almost simultaneously!
The flames began to roar, and the thunder began to roll. Amid the roar of the artillery, the warship began to shake slightly. The sea water around the warship also began to splash because of the artillery.
In the sky, dark red lines continued to extend, which were red-hot shells.
The Shang Dynasty had only 3 battleships, 6 frigates, and 18 patrol ships, a total of 27 warships. Among them, the patrol ship is still 2,000 tons. In this way, the three fleets are still advancing separately, with a distance of 10 kilometers between the fleets.
There are 121 warships on Bian's side. Although there is only one 30,000-ton battleship, there are 20 frigates and 120 5,000-ton destroyers.
Seeing the huge disparity in the number of fleets between the two sides, the Bian soldiers immediately became excited, screaming one by one, frantically stuffing shells into the artillery. At the same time, the warships began to form attack units, targeting their respective targets.
More than ten seconds later, the shells began to fall, and a large number of shells fell into the sea water. The explosion sounded, and pieces of water rose into the sky. A large number of marine life that broke into the vicinity died in the explosion.
However, no one pays attention to these anymore. What everyone is concerned about is the peak duel between the two fleets.
The three fleets of the Shang Dynasty were small in number, but they were like three sharp knives. A powerful defensive barrier has risen on the surface of the fleet, and only a few shells of Bian Kingdom can hit the target, but they cannot break through the defense.
On the contrary, there are many warships in Bian State, but within two minutes of the battle, an armor-piercing projectile broke through the defense. In an explosion, a 5,000-ton destroyer was cut off, and the ship sank into the sea with a rumble. A large number of soldiers who were below the foundation-building stage were swept into the sea by the tumbling sea; only a few soldiers above the foundation-building stage escaped.
The distance between the two sides began to approach, but they also formed a strategic formation that staggered from each other.
There were few warships in the Shang Dynasty, but the artillery hit rate was extremely high! With the assistance of the computer, almost 30% of the hit rate; and 50% of the shells exploded around the Bian warship. From now on, almost every ten seconds or less than a minute, a warship in Bian State will be injured.
On the contrary, the hit rate of Bian Guo's fleet is extremely low, less than one hundred. However, there are many warships in Bian State, and there are still endless shells falling.
The fleets of both sides approached crazily and launched crazily. The sound of the explosion suppressed the sea breeze, and the sea water was heaving in the explosion, and the sea seemed to be boiling. Such a fierce military battle made many masters in the transformation stage look very solemn.
