Volume 19, Chapter 32: Remnant Ship
"Oh, I finally see you." While Matsumoto was congratulating them on rushing to Fulcrum City, Matsumoto's so-called fleet was docked with the fleet sent from our guild on the sea near Mysterious Kiri Island. The people were greeting each other through the fence at the edge of the deck, just like the Red Army divisions after the Long March.
If this weird picture spreads, I believe most Japanese players will vomit blood and die. But it's a pity that there is fog everywhere near Mist Kirishima. Let alone peeking, it is difficult to figure out the direction even if it is a little further away.
Naval battles are different from battles on land. Although players can fight with NPCs on the ground, because the combat effectiveness of NPC troops is generally not as good as that of players, the main force of most guilds is still players rather than NPCs. But naval warfare is different. The battles at sea mainly rely on ships rather than people. As long as the battleship is operated in a standardized manner, the cannon fired by the player or the NPC will not affect the power. Even on the issue of accuracy, it seems that the player's attributes can't help much, so generally according to the international Conventionally, warships are basically equipped with only NPCs besides the captain and first mate. Only some warships with special missions will be temporarily equipped with more players.
The fleet sent by Masamoto Matsumoto is also a fleet that abides by international conventions. Although the entire fleet seems to have a lot of ships, there are actually only a few players. Most of them are PCs, and our guild has paid for Matsumoto Masaru to buy them. Yes, they are the kind of people who know the inside story. Because there were few players on the ship, in order to completely control the fleet, Masamoto Matsumoto arranged for the battleships to be filled with spies we sent him who knew about our relationship. Because everyone on the battleship knows the inside story, there is no need to show off to others like on land.
In our guild, the fleet dispatched this time is also a specially selected group of people. The group of people who 'operate' the battleship were temporarily informed of Matsumoto Masa's true identity. Although the members who knew the situation were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, they quickly adapted to the shock of the news. The members who 'operated' the battleship immediately swore not to tell anyone after receiving our order to keep it secret. So this force, which was fully aware of the inside story, took the special formation composed of active servicemen that I arranged and went to sea together.
Since there were insiders in both fleets, there was no need to disguise. After the two fleets discovered each other from a distance, they used light signals to confirm each other's identities as planned, and then the two fleets came together openly and openly. .
This time, the commander-in-chief of our fleet is King Chuang himself, and the player commanding the Ghost Dragon Society fleet was an old subordinate of King Chuang. After the two of them chatted together for a while, they began to accept the new plan conveyed by the God of War.
Before the fleets on both sides merged, the God of War only told them the general mission process, but did not tell them the specific details, so neither side knew what they were going to do after they merged.
"God of War, we have reunited, tell us what to do next?" In the command room of the Tyrant, King Chuang and his old subordinates were waiting for God of War's next plan.
After receiving the information, the God of War quickly said: "Your next phase of the mission is not difficult, but the process is more complicated. Please note it carefully." After saying that, the God of War began to inform them of the detailed attack, and the two men began to work in earnest. records information. After taking more than ten minutes to record the contents of the mission, the two said a few words and then began to command their own fleets to take action.
The first thing the two fleets did after they set sail again was to separate most of the warships in the fleet. These warships were independently formed into a mixed fleet that was a mixture of the two fleets. The special forces of the guild that had been loaded onto the ship in front of many Chinese players in Essinger were all assigned to this special task force. As for the remaining warships, although there are still more than a dozen ships in total, compared with the fleet that originally left the port, it is actually only a few tenths left.
The two fleets, one large and one small, were re-separated after being mixed. After blowing their whistles to each other, they separated. The larger fleet was led by Chuang Wang directly back to the 'Mis' Kirishima station, and the other fleet The small fleet of only a dozen ships was led by the old subordinate of King Chuang and headed towards Japan.
According to our plan, the huge fleet that was hidden with King Chuang will be completely hidden in the name of sinking in battle. After that, these ships will be gradually added back to our guild or the ghost dragon guild's fleet in various ways as needed. , of course it is necessary to change its appearance, and it may also appear in the name of a new ship by then.
On the other side, the fleet that left with Yuki Yumiko, the old subordinate of King Chuang, was the main force at sea in this battle. Of course, their enemies were either outsiders or themselves.
Yumiko Yuki was also a Japanese player who joined the Sakura Club after joining our guild. However, she liked sailing very much, so she always followed King Chuang. Before being assigned to Matsumoto Masaga, she was already in our guild. She has been promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Fourth Fleet in the fleet, but for a long time in the future her identity will be the Commander-in-Chief of the Ghost Dragon Society Navy.
Although there are more than a dozen battleships assigned to Yuki Yumiko, the number is not evenly distributed. Twelve of these seventeen ships are warships belonging to the Ghost Dragon Society, while our guild only has five ships.
Among the twelve remaining battleships of the Ghost Dragon Society, one is a super battleship, and there are two heavy cruisers. The others are destroyer-class or even frigate-class boats. Among the five ships in our guild, there is one battleship, two heavy cruisers, a fast frigate and a troop transport. In terms of quantity, the number of ships on our side is obviously much smaller, but the total combat power output is basically the same. According to the convention that the battleships of our guild are generally one level larger than those of other countries, the battleships of our guild are actually on the same level as the super battleships of other countries. And our heavy cruisers are actually battleships. The Ghost Dragon Society's boats are many but small, while our boats are big but few. But we have a weakness here, that is, we have a troop transport ship here. In order to protect the troop transport, the warships cannot fight freely, so if there is a fight, our five ships will definitely not be able to defeat the twelve Ghost Dragon Society ships. However, ours is not a real fight anyway, it is just a show.
Although the Japanese actually don't have much maritime power anymore, just in case, Yumiko Yuki led the seventeen ships and immediately divided the two fleets into two halves after leaving the range of Kirishima. According to our The guild's boats are in one group and the Ghost Dragon Society's boats are sailing separately, so that even if someone sees us, they won't suspect that we are wearing the same pair of pants.
After calculating the distance, Yumiko Yuki directly picked up the intercom under the command podium and shouted: "Xiazi, can we start pulling?"
Xiazi is the temporary commander of the five guild warships. Because the warships on both sides were actually built by our guild, the communicators can naturally communicate with each other.
Hearing Yumiko Yuki's urging, Xiazi first looked at the chart, and then said: "Well, it's almost done. Let's start here."
"Then get ready, we are evacuating now."
"OK."
The two sides had just discussed this, and Yumiko Yuki immediately took the people on her ship to evacuate to the nearby battleship, while our battleship opposite turned the No. 2 main turret on the ship to face Yumiko Yuki's seat. The ship fired in one salvo. Three shells flew across the sea and hit Yuki Yumiko's ship, the Yukijo. One of the shells landed on the No. 2 main turret of the Syracuse, turning it into an abstract metal sculpture. The other two shells hit the rear of the conning tower and the mainmast of the ship respectively, resulting in the A big hole was chewed out of the Syracuse's conning tower, and the main mast at the back was also blown off and hung diagonally on the hull.
After the first firing was completed, the battleship group on the opposite side turned their side cannons and bombarded the Xuecheng with a barrage of fire. However, the Xuecheng is a super battleship after all. Just rely on our guild. The secondary guns on the battleship are not enough to destroy it. This round of shelling did nothing more than blast the Syracuse's hull into pockmarks and leave black spots all over the hull. This shelling was basically ineffective against the hull structure.
After the Snow City was baptized by artillery fire, our four warships did some processing to the remaining warships in turn. Although they were not sunk, they were all injured, which made people feel that those ships were He looked like he had just come off the battlefield.
After the battleships on the Ghost Dragon Club's side were dealt with, the two sides immediately switched around and launched another round of bombardment, injuring four of our battleships. Especially, the battleship among our battleships specially used explosives. 'The simulation blasted a gap and deliberately tilted the ship with water before closing the waterproof door, causing the battleship to be hit and lose its balance.
After the hulls on both sides were camouflaged, the only uninjured troop carrier drove over and began to remove a large number of dead bodies from the ship. Yumiko Yuki and Xiazi directed the people on both sides to put the bodies on various ships to pretend to be dead in battle, and then separated.
According to the plan, all five of our warships among the warships participating in the performance were to be completely annihilated. Therefore, in the spirit of economy, we did not arrange too many people on the warships, and only equipped each ship with barely enough people. People who can drive the ship, this is why our warship only had one main gun that could be activated during the camouflage, mainly because no one was operating it. Even those few shots were made by Xiazi himself with several players.
After the basic camouflage was completed, the personnel on both sides of the warships checked each other from a distance. After confirming that there were no loopholes, the two fleets got back on the road and drove towards Fulcrum City one after another.
