Chapter 225 The US-Russian Combined Fleet Has Been Taking a Beating

After the Russian Iron Curtain device experienced an attack by the Frost Rose that lasted for more than ten seconds, it finally exceeded the limit frequency because the output was too large. The first problem was caused by one of the warships carrying the Iron Curtain device on top of a giant dandelion. Ship, the entire power system of the ship suddenly exploded without warning, and then the explosion was transmitted along the long support rod to the top of the dandelion above, followed by a blue arc of light. Burst open. ?. . But this is not the end, but a sign of the beginning.

The entire Iron Curtain device is composed of multiple parts. As long as the minimum number of these components is not less than a certain value, the entire barrier can continue to exist. However, it is like a group of people carrying a log together. Originally, there were ten people. While carrying it, someone suddenly fell to the ground due to lack of physical strength. Then the remaining nine people had to bear the weight that was originally borne by ten people, so more people began to fail to hold on and fell one after another. When the number of fallen personnel reaches a certain value, the remaining people can no longer support the weight of this thing, and what they need to face afterwards is the collapse of the entire system.

The same thing happened with the Russians' Iron Curtain device. In the process of supporting the operation of this huge Iron Curtain device, the explosion of the ship caused the remaining burden to be fully allocated to the remaining Iron Curtain device generators, and the Iron Curtain device was already in an overloaded state. Suddenly you get more load, which basically adds insult to injury. As a result, warships in the Russian fleet began to explode and catch fire. In the end, the number of Iron Curtain devices was no longer enough to cover the entire defense system. The super weapon on the Frost Rose finally successfully penetrated the protective cover of the Iron Curtain device, and then directly hit the battleship below. The battleship that was the ultimate target was burned instantly without any preparation. The middle part was almost one-third of the length of the battleship. This part almost included all the islands of the battleship, and the remaining part was The red-hot bow and stern quickly sank into the sea with a hissing sound and white water vapor.

After burning the ship instantly, the Frost Rose's transmitter also reached its limit, the beam began to narrow rapidly, and the zero temperature also dropped rapidly. In less than two seconds, it turned into a bright thin line like a fluorescent tube. Then the thin line suddenly broke into little light particles and dissipated in the air, but even so, you can still see a large number of small arcs jumping in the air like winding snakes on the straight line where the beam just passed. It is obvious here The air has been highly ionized, and some people can even smell a special smell, which is the smell of ozone produced after the air is ionized.

"Damn it, who can tell me what happened just now?" After the Frozen Banshee got up from the ground, she frowned and looked towards us, but what she saw was the slowly closing frost with billowing white smoke. The front launch port of the Rose.

In fact, the Frost Rose's launch port was not burned. The reason why the white smoke looks billowing is because the system is undergoing forced cooling. The sprayed coolant is completely evaporated into a gaseous state by the high temperature before it touches the surface of the launcher, but the cold air outside will cause the coolant to quickly evaporate. Condensation back into small droplets. So what looks like thick smoke is formed, but in fact the principle is the same as spraying water on a red-hot iron plate. It's just water vapor. Compared to the state of the Frozen Banshee, the Gunslinger's appearance is even worse. This guy's abilities are almost all focused on attack ability, so his own resistance is obviously inferior to the Frozen Banshee. Therefore, although the infrasonic attack just now did not have much impact on the Frozen Banshee, the Gunslinger is I have suffered enough. However, when he got up, the news he got was even more sad than the headache caused by the infrasound wave just now, because he had just learned that his so-called air defense force had actually lost a full 30%. This is because their movements were too slow and some people had not yet come to the surface of the Russian warship to participate in the defense. If they had moved faster, they probably wouldn't have lost 30% of their troops, or they might have been wiped out.

The Gunslinger was depressed because of his own situation. Suddenly, I heard a Russian player over there shouting: "Watch out for shelling."

"Damn it, get down, get down!" The Frozen Banshee reacted relatively quickly, but unfortunately our bombardment this time was too accurate. The first shell to fall directly hit an armored assault ship at the front of the Russian fleet, but failed to penetrate the bow armor of this special edition modified ship, but the battleships behind it suffered. A heavy destroyer was hit by a 68mm shell that directly penetrated the ammunition depot, and then a small mushroom cloud rose into the sky. After that, the surrounding warships were hit one after another. On average, each ship was hit by three to six rounds, half of which were slightly injured, and the rest were hit. The lower part was seriously injured, and about 10% of the warships that were hit were directly sunk, and the most unlucky among them was the ship of the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger at this time. It was actually penetrated directly by a shell in the center of the ship. The armor layer on the top of the island, and then the entire island was shortened by half in an instant, and most of the back became a large radial hole. A large amount of metal rolled outwards like a blooming Higan flower, and the thick smoke in front of the island was even more intense. As a result, the entire ship's sighting system lost its field of vision. Finally, the warship began to yaw on the sea. In just a few minutes, it turned sideways and even almost hit the warship on the side.

The Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger never expected that they would be directly hit by the shells. The two of them were lying in the infirmary of a nearby American battleship. The shelling just now killed more than half of the personnel on the bridge where they were. The Gunslinger and the Frozen Banshee survived because of their high level and good attributes. If their reaction had been slower, they would probably be waiting for resurrection at the resurrection point now. .

"I'm worried about how long our people can hold on if this continues." The Gunslinger looked at the Frozen Banshee and said.

The Frozen Banshee glanced at the Gun God and said: "Now you can only pray that they can exercise restraint to the maximum extent and must persist until we reach the offshore China. By then, the ones who need to worry are the Frost Rose Alliance and not us."

"I know this too, but I'm worried that the people below won't be able to control themselves! It's really frustrating to be beaten passively all the time."

As soon as the Gunslinger finished speaking, he heard a scream, and then a dull explosion. Soon, the battleship they were on also undulated violently, and after ten seconds of not moving, a crew member walked in and attacked the ice seal. The banshee said: "President of the Frozen Banshee, more than a dozen ships have just been destroyed."

"I understand. If anything happens, report it as soon as possible." The Frozen Banshee weakly waved the player's hand to retreat. Then he stood up with support. The priest who was releasing the healing spell next to her quickly went up to support her. "No need to help me, I can barely move anymore." After saying this, the Frozen Banshee looked outside, and after thinking about it, she changed her words: "It's better to help me to the bridge, the fleet needs command."

The gunman next to him heard this and stood up with support. Then someone quickly helped him and asked him to follow the Frozen Banshee to the bridge over there.

What the Frozen Banshee saw in the bridge here was a burning flame. The lower half of the bridge glass in front was black, and the flames could be seen jumping continuously. Even strong sea breezes couldn't extinguish them.

Probably noticing the Frozen Banshee's attention on the flames, a player next to him said: "The Frost Rose Alliance just changed their shells. They fired something similar to white phosphorus bombs. The surface of our battleship was burned. The sky is a fiery red, and someone just discovered that the air forces of the Frost Rose Alliance are forming a team."

When the frozen banshee heard the man's words, she looked up at the sky. Sure enough, the aerial units that had been going in circles were forming into formation, and now it could be seen that several obvious echelons were forming.

"Pay attention to air defense, the Frost Rose Alliance's air force is coming down." The Frozen Banshee said.

"But our deck..." The player said and pointed to the deck in front of a sea of ​​fire. The consciousness was obvious. Who would you let go up in a place like that? Isn't this tantamount to suicide?

Sure enough, the Frozen Banshee herself was stuck. She also knew that air defense operations should be carried out now. But the problem is that the battleship deck is now the same as the iron plate used for teppanyaki. How do you think there are people standing in a place like this?

After the Frozen Banshee got stuck, the Gunslinger suddenly had an idea and thought of a way. "Frozen Banshee, do your guild's warships have depth charges on them?"

"Of course. Why do you ask?" the Frozen Banshee asked doubtfully.

The gunman shouted excitedly: "Let the burning warship launch depth bombs into the sea in front of you. Set a depth of ten meters for rescue, and don't set it too deep."

The Frozen Banshee screamed instinctively upon hearing this. "Ten meters of concentration? That will only make the sea water..." At this point, she suddenly froze, because she suddenly understood the meaning of the gun god and turned to the people around her: "Yes, yes, go immediately to give the order and let the fire The ship fired a depth charge in front of itself, setting a depth of ten meters."

In fact, the Gunslinger's method is very simple. It is to use the explosive power of depth charges to lift the sea water, and then the warship rushes into the spray of water at full speed. The falling sea water is equivalent to a spray on the deck. Watering down the fire not only extinguishes the fire, but also cools down the deck.

The explosive power of a depth charge is very strong. Even if it explodes at a depth of fifty or sixty meters, it can raise water columns dozens of meters high on the sea surface. If the depth is set at ten meters, the water splash will definitely fly up to five meters high. It is ten meters high, and the splash of water that is thrown up will be very huge, enough for the warships here to take a cold shower to cool down.

According to the method provided by the gun god, the Russian and American fleets quickly completed the cooling operation. The huge waves set off by the depth charges generated by the projectors were surprisingly effective. When the warships passed through it, it was like a period of time. After a short dive, the burning objects attached to the hull were instantly washed into the sea, and the high-temperature flames were cooled by the seawater. Although the deck was still smoking, the temperature was no longer high enough to hurt people.

While the Americans and Russians are busy down there, we are also very busy here, because the infrasonic attack just now affected our people on your side, which is not a good sign. Of course, because of the distance, the players on our side were relatively less affected, so we recovered quickly.

The first thing King Chuang did after returning to normal was to order the main fleet in the distance to send the US-Russian combined fleet for a bombardment. This was the bombardment in which the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger were blown away.

Of course, one shelling was not enough, so subsequent firing began without interruption, and in the end even incendiary bombs were used. There is no such thing as a white phosphorus bomb in the game. Although it can be made, it is not necessary. We use a fire element solution collected from a plant called the flame flower. They are usually stored sealed in vacuum jars. When needed, mix it with ordinary water at a weight unit of one to one hundred thousand, and then you can get a fuel that is similar to gasoline. The biggest feature of this kind of thing is that the burning time is very long. When we did experiments before, a small pool of solution burned continuously for more than eight hours.

Compared with white phosphorus bombs, this thing is easy to make, low cost, and has much less storage risk. The only drawback is that this oil is not as viscous as real oil, so it can be washed off after spraying on the target surface. But generally after a fire, how many people are free to water it is a question. People who have never been exposed to fire may not know that a large fire scene is not a small flame like your gas stove. A bonfire with a diameter of one meter cannot contain anyone within a radius of two meters. The high temperature will make your skin sting and you will instinctively hide away. And if this kind of flame turns into a larger sea of ​​​​fire, you won't be able to get close even seven or eight meters away. so. Don't think that after a fire breaks out, you can hold a small bucket or basin to extinguish the fire. That's only possible with small flames. There is absolutely no way to extinguish a real fire in this way.

Although the flames were extinguished, at least we created considerable chaos for the US-Russian combined fleet, and at this time our air force, which had been hovering over the enemy for a long time, was really about to start fighting. The previous ones were just small fights.

"Prepare all flying warships to target the US-Russian combined fleet and abandon disabled targets. Prioritize attacking warships with minor or no damage. Listen to my countdown. Five, four, three, two, one, fire."

Following King Chuang's order. The group of warships that had been above the U.S.-Russian Combined Fleet suddenly began to bombard the U.S.-Russian Combined Fleet below at the same time. And it was not an ordinary bombardment, but a targeted clearing with precise targeting.

Because of the special characteristics of flying warships, their attack positions can often carry out precise bombardment from top to bottom without interference. Although the distance is very close, due to the height difference, the enemy warships below cannot hit them even with large-caliber naval guns. As for them, as for anti-aircraft guns...that kind of thing is fine for flying small planes, but encountering these rough-skinned and thick-skinned battleships is basically like scratching an itch. Do you think those warships might be afraid of mere anti-aircraft guns with armor plates that are almost one meter thick? You must know that although the exit kinetic energy of those anti-aircraft guns is very high, as the shells climb all the way, the kinetic energy will be quickly converted into high potential energy. The result is that by the time the shells reach the vicinity of the flying battleship, they actually don't have much strength left. Isn't it a joke to expect this kind of artillery shell to penetrate armor more than one meter thick?

Precisely because aerial battleships are not afraid of anti-aircraft guns, they can approach and shoot unscrupulously. Moreover, when attacking from top to bottom, the ammunition of their own cannons will hardly lose any kinetic energy. The range will be much increased and the power will be much greater.

Just now, the Frost Rose was still on forced cooling due to the main weapon attack, and it did not participate in the ground attack for the time being. However, the Eternity led a group of subordinates to bombard the US-Russian combined fleet below. Cool.

Of course, the good fight on our side means that the US-Russian combined fleet will be miserable. Although the previous long-range bombardment was very powerful, in fact, the only ones that could attack them at that distance were the main guns of our battleships. In addition to the missed shots, the ammunition density was actually not very high. Fewer effective hits. This kind of damage is still something that the US-Russian combined fleet can withstand. This is why the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger did not surrender directly but rushed towards Isinger despite our attack, because they knew that we would not It's possible that long-range artillery fire alone could wipe us out before they reach Isengard.

However, what I said before was when we only used long-range artillery fire. The current situation is obviously not a long-range bombardment, but a flying warship from the sky. Although there are only about two hundred flying battleships in our guild here, and the number is far less exaggerated than that of the main battleships, these flying battleships do not have to use their main guns to attack, and their secondary guns can also easily reach the ones below. The target, and the cannonballs falling from the sky are so powerful that there is basically no way to defend them. The armor on the battleship itself is mainly concentrated on the sides, and the thickness of the top armor is limited. Therefore, in this case, the shelling casualties faced by our flying battleships will be very high. After all, the flying battleship was almost shooting directly. This huge accuracy caused the losses of the US-Russian combined fleet below to be very huge and rapid. After less than five minutes of free fire, more than 1,500 warships in the US-Russian combined fleet had lost the ability to continue sailing with the fleet, and hundreds of warships were sunk. The situation was so bad that Bing Bing Banshee and Gunslinger felt as if something was pressing on their hearts. Moreover, the above losses were only five minutes of shelling. At this rate, their fleet would be completely destroyed in up to two hours. Therefore, this situation is simply a disaster for the US-Russian combined fleet.

"Huh." Just when the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger were looking gloomy, they suddenly heard a Russian player next to them making a confused voice, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on this player.

"What are you doing?" Gunslinger asked.

The player ignored the gunner and looked directly at the Frozen Banshee and said: "Boss, I found that the frequency of bombardment of the Frost Rose Alliance's flying battleships is getting slower and slower."

"Huh?" As soon as she heard this, the Frozen Banshee rushed to the window, and then looked at the shells that continued to fall from the sky. Because she was shooting directly, she could see a clear trajectory, and through These trajectories can accurately calculate the number of shells fired, and combined with the time information, it is indeed relatively simple to calculate the firing frequency of our warships.

The Frozen Banshee, who had been fighting at the window for a while, suddenly said in an excited tone: "Haha, they are almost out of shells."

Following the words of the Frozen Banshee, the Gunslinger also realized something. Although the bombardment of the flying battleship just now was very exciting, the shells still have to be consumed. However, the amount of shells the battleship can carry is limited. It does not mean that you can carry as many as you want. In addition, the flying battleship itself is a flying unit, and its own armor The weight of the ship and the power system is already terrifying, and it is naturally impossible to carry as much supplies such as shells as a surface warship. All said, these battleships must not carry as many shells as those on the surface of the ship.

After considering this situation, the gunman immediately shouted excitedly: "Hahaha, now we are saved."

In fact, the number of artillery shells carried by these flying battleships in our guild is indeed almost exhausted, which is also the main reason for the decrease in the frequency of shelling. Some people may be surprised that the players in our guild all have Phoenix Dragons. Although these ordinary Phoenix Dragons cannot open up a space as big as my Phoenix Dragon Queen, there is absolutely no problem in casually stuffing 1,800 shells into it. Even if there are only a few players on a battleship, the number of cannonballs it carries is amazing. How could there be no cannonballs?

Yes, what everyone thinks is good, but unfortunately everyone thinks about this and the system also wants it, and according to the regulations of the system, all guild materials cannot be carried in personal space. In other words, consumable materials used by guilds cannot be loaded into individual players' space equipment.

Cannonballs are obviously not for personal use by players. Therefore, cannonballs are guild equipment and are consumables. Therefore, there is no way to install this item into the player's Phoenix Dragon Space. After all, the Phoenix Dragon Space is also considered the player's private space. In the equipment space, guild equipment cannot be carried either.

Because of this setting, our battleships cannot rely on players to bring cannonballs, but can only let the battleships load them themselves. This is also the reason why warships from various countries have ammunition depots that can be killed by one shot. If it is true that cannonballs can be stored in space equipment, do you think the people who designed the battleships were out of their minds and designed an ammunition depot for people to attack? Obviously not. The real reason is that the artillery shells must be carried by the warship itself, so special ammunition depots can only be designed.

"Are you out of shells?" The U.S.-Russian combined fleet below noticed the problem, and of course we ourselves also noticed the problem. King Chuang asked the data controller and was immediately confirmed that our shell reserves are running low.

"If there are no artillery shells, there will be no artillery shells." I said: "Aren't there still those Storm Dominator attack aircraft? It's time for them to take action.")
