Chapter 226 The Addition of the Japanese Fleet and the Results of the Air Raid

The US-Russian combined fleet discovered that we were running out of ammunition, and we had already made plans to dispatch Storm Dominator attack aircraft. This article was first published by: The Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger were not happy for a long time when they saw that the aircraft that had been hovering around us for a long time finally began to enter a dive state and roared towards their battleship group.

"Damn it, the Frost Rose Alliance's air force finally took action." The Frozen Banshee was the first to notice the movement in the sky, and then shouted from behind: "Gun God, tell your people to get in position quickly."

Because the defense personnel who attacked the Paladin League before did not dare to land directly on the decks of the battleships, they could only wait for our air strikes to start before taking action. However, at this time, the action was obviously a little late. However, thanks to them not going in the morning, otherwise everyone would probably be dead again by now.

Just after the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger gave their instructions, the fleet heard a whistling sound first. It was not the sound of the aircraft overhead rushing down, but the familiar sound of flying cannonballs.

Just after the Storm Dominator attack aircraft on our side began to dive, a large wave of artillery shells from the opposite side reached the head of the US-Russian combined fleet first. The roaring rain of bullets swept away the US and Russia who had already prepared for air defense. The players in the combined fleet were blown away and turned upside down. Although the warships can bear the shells, the personnel inside the warships need to withstand shock waves and violent shaking. More importantly, the shelling makes it impossible for the anti-aircraft weapons on the warships to carry out effective air defense in a short period of time.

At the same time as this hail of bullets exploded, our Storm Ruler attack aircraft had taken advantage of this opportunity to cross the opponent's optimal attack height. Then it entered a dive bombing state. The Storm Dominator attack aircraft at the front was the first to enter the attack position, and then the cover under the belly opened, and two black objects fell out of the cabin, followed by two loud noises. The No. 1 turret of a Russian battleship instantly turned into a huge torch, and thick smoke and flames rolled into the sky dozens of meters high.

The first hit here seemed to kick off the show, and the Storm Dominator attack planes behind began to spread out to find their own targets. The Frozen Banshee watched as a Storm Dominator attack plane roared over her head, and then dropped a heavy bomb. She even forgot to get down, but the people around her reacted quickly and pushed her to the ground. . However, the subsequent explosion caused the player who pinned down the Frozen Banshee to lose his upper body. The two legs supported the part below the waist and swayed twice before falling down with a plop.

It was only then that the Frozen Banshee got up from under the console. Look ahead again. The observation windows of her second command ship were all gone. And the door on the left has turned into a twisted I-shape, with dark burn marks all over its surface. Further forward, the third turret in front of the only ship island has completely disappeared, replaced by a large hole filled with thick smoke.

Although the Frozen Banshee really wants to say something now. But she really didn't know what to say. He could only look ahead blankly. The power of our bombing was beyond her expectation. Although we have tried our best to think of our air force as terrible. But at this time, I was still deeply shocked.

While the Frozen Banshee was in a daze, the roaring Storm Ruler attack planes were still scurrying around in the sky, and the American and Russian warships that had escaped from the cover bombardment began to bombard the air. American warships only have a small number of anti-aircraft guns. There is actually not much difference between firing and not firing, but the Russian anti-aircraft guns are quite powerful. Not only are they numerous, but the shells are also very powerful.

An anti-aircraft gun on a battleship in the Russian fleet that had just reacted suddenly turned its muzzle towards a Storm Dominator attack aircraft. Then the gunner inside suddenly pulled the joystick, and the turret instantly rotated. He pulled his arm to point the gun barrel at an oncoming Storm Dominator attack aircraft, and then suddenly pulled down the other handle. Only a series of bang-dang-dang sounds were heard, like an iron hammer hitting an iron ingot. The Storm Dominator attack aircraft in front was suddenly surrounded by a string of orange-red photoelectrics, and then a large exploding black firework. When the Storm Ruler attack plane passed through one of the fireworks, it was directly sifted through a sieve and plunged into the sea, burning like a sieve.

"Oh..." As the first Storm Dominator attack plane was shot down, the morale of both Russian and American players was obviously greatly improved.

Taking advantage of the first downing of the Storm Dominator attack aircraft, the anti-aircraft artillery fire on the warships of the Russian fleet began to spit fiery snakes into the air. Those rapid-fire cannons fired a string of fire whip-like barrages into the sky, and the sky was full of fire. The Storm Ruler attack planes were constantly rolling and moving in the air like flying elves, weaving in and out between the gaps in the fire whips, and sometimes flying almost grazing the enemy's shells. If you have a little less mental endurance, He probably died of a heart attack. But we don’t need to worry, because the Storm Ruler attack aircraft are drones. Except for the captain aircraft who is responsible for the command and has a commander, those who are angry with him are drones that use simplified versions of artificial souls, so there is no need at all. Worry about psychological problems. The advantage of weakening intelligence is that you don't have to worry about various negative emotions, because these simplified versions of operating systems simply do not have the intelligence level to think about emotions such as fear.

Facing the aerobatic flying attitude of our Storm Dominator attack aircraft, the Russian artillery attack was also quite distinctive. The Frozen Banshee had obviously put in a lot of effort before. These people actually knew how to carry out cross-covering and use the cross-fire between various battleships to block the flight and bombing routes of the Storm Dominator attack aircraft on our side. If the Storm Dominator attack aircraft forcibly drops bombs, it will hit the fire net, and then turn into a flying fireball and crash into the sea or an unlucky battleship. However, if you try to avoid these barrages, the Storm Ruler attack aircraft will eventually lose its attack angle and miss the target. Even if it barely releases the bombs, most of them will be near-misses and will not be able to damage the warship itself at all.

The sea and air battle between the two sides entered a fever pitch from the beginning. From time to time in the sky, we can see our Storm Dominator attack aircraft being hit and exploded into parts all over the sky, dragging flames into the sea, and from time to time we can see huge fireballs rising above the American and Russian warships on the sea. started, and every time this happened, it meant that a warship had been severely damaged. Although the conventional bombs carried by these Storm Ruler attack aircraft are not powered by liquefied magic crystal steam, the bombs are different from artillery shells. They often have a large charge, so their power is quite terrifying. The turret in front of the Frozen Banshee's ship just hit one bomb and was completely blown away. This effect can show how powerful these bombs are.

However, although our bombs are very powerful, the battleship cannot be killed by one or two bombs. On the contrary, our Storm Ruler attack aircraft is too fragile. So as long as it is hit by an anti-aircraft artillery, it will completely turn into a big fireball. so. Although we can see the U.S. and Russian fleets being shot from time to time, more often than not we see images of our Storm Dominator attack aircraft exploding and crashing into the sea.

Seeing this situation, the American and Russian players were in a very good mood, and it even seemed to dispel the previous depression. However, it is different from those players. The Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger are quite calm. It can even be said that they are quite depressed.

What ordinary players see is just the picture of our Storm Dominator attack aircraft being shot down continuously. As for their own injuries, because they only happened once in a while, they never paid enough attention to them. but. As leaders, the Frozen Banshee and Gunslinger obviously cannot have the same vision as ordinary players. They obviously see more essence from the phenomenon.

Our Frost Rose Alliance has our own long-range wireless communication system. This is not a secret and many people know it. Therefore, our Storm Ruler attack aircraft must have this kind of thing, at least it can accept command and remote control at any time. Both the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger are very sure of this.

Everyone can see what happened just now. Our Storm Dominator attack aircraft suffered heavy losses and were continuously shot down. In just a short while, at least hundreds of Storm Dominator attack aircraft were shot down. However, only five warships in the US and Russian fleets were silent and 11 were injured. , this kind of loss seems to be a big advantage for American and Russian players. However, if you think about it carefully, this matter is not that simple.

Among the two sides of the battle, the American and Russian players used battleships, which were very slow, while our Frost Rose Alliance used aircraft. The speed of these things is many times faster than the battleships. Therefore, the initiative on the battlefield is actually in our hands. As long as we do not want to fight, we can withdraw our aircraft from the battle at any time.

But we didn't do that.

Despite such high casualties, our planes are still bombing their warships desperately. What does this mean? If we are now in China's offshore waters, our guild has no way out, and will soon start a fleet decisive battle, and use the air force to weaken the enemy's strength in advance, then it still makes sense. But the problem is that this place is still far away from China's offshore waters, and it has not even reached Japan yet. Therefore, we still have a lot of time, but in this state, we have put up a desperate posture and confront them head-on. This Something is obviously abnormal.

After analyzing and analyzing the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger, the only reasonable explanation is that we don't care about this loss.

Neither the Frozen Banshee nor the Gunslinger knew what the Storm Ruler attack aircraft was, but they knew that it could fly and carry bombs. However, they still have an important piece of information, that is, there are tens of thousands of them. Our guild didn't make so many of the original Mobile Angels, which were so useful, but as soon as this thing appeared, there were nearly 100,000 of them. This scale and the speed of its emergence can only mean one thing - this thing is cheap and high-quality and can be mass-produced.

So, the conclusion drawn from analyzing these situations is that the price of Storm Dominator attack aircraft is very cheap, and the production speed is very fast, and it can be quickly replenished after losses. The cost of their warships is more than one million crystal coins, and the construction period is calculated in weeks. Even an iron-hulled battleship in the game takes at least a week to complete, but this Storm Dominator attack aircraft obviously doesn't take that long.

If we use Storm Dominator attack aircraft to compete with American and Russian warships, even if we maintain a very high loss ratio, we may still have an advantage, because even with such a high loss ratio, the total loss caused by our Storm Dominator attack aircraft may be It is still only one-tenth or even one percent of the loss price of their warships. If this is really the case, it can completely explain why we would rather waste our time than evacuate these aircraft.

When the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger thought of this, they instantly felt as if all their strength had been drained from their bodies. Because if their guess is correct, then everything they do now will be in vain.

In fact, what the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger didn't know was that their guesses were indeed the truth.

Although the Storm Ruler attack aircraft is an enhanced version of the Bird, basically it is still a consumable designed to reduce costs. Although its cost is much higher than that of the Bird, it is still a consumable. A production line has been designed in Steel City. If the production is at full capacity, it can produce 10,000 or 20,000 of these things in a day. This is under the premise that there is only one production line. If we increase the production line, the production speed will continue to increase. By then we will be able to produce 100,000 Storm Dominator attack aircraft per day. certainly. No matter how much you produce, you still have to pay the cost price. After all, materials cost money.

However, compared to the price of a battleship, even a hundred Storm Ruler attack aircraft cannot match the price of a heavy cruiser, and if it is a battleship. The price of one is enough to buy more than 150 Storm Ruler attack aircraft.

Now let’s look back at the loss ratio. The number of our Storm Dominator attack aircraft shot down is about three hundred. Less than four hundred. Let’s count it as four hundred. Let’s look at the US-Russian combined fleet. Five ships were sunk and eleven were damaged. Even if the injured are not included, the five sunken battleships alone can hold up to at least 500 Storm Ruler attack aircraft. If the injured are included, our losses are actually less than one-fifth of the combined fleet. This kind of battle loss is completely bearable for us. After all, if the battle continues, our chances of winning will become greater and greater.

The combined fleet's anti-aircraft firepower requires density. Only when the number is large enough can it be a deterrent. The smaller the number, the less effective it is. This is why the Frozen Banshee would rather let the fleet be bombarded than let the fleet gather together. However, conversely, the smaller the number of our Storm Dominator attack aircraft, the harder it will be to hit them. In other words, whether it is the loss of the United States and Russia or our own losses, the interception efficiency of the United States and Russia will become increasingly lower. The odds of winning such a battle are certainly ours. Besides, we don’t only have flying units here, there are also a lot of Qi and other attack methods that are not involved.

The combined fleet and our Storm Ruler attack aircraft were fighting passionately on the sea, but in the room in another place, there was an oppressive silence.

"Matsumoto Masaga, isn't your proposal a little strange?" A Japanese guild president looked at Matsumoto Masaga in front of him and asked.

Just now, Masamoto Matsumoto summoned all the Japanese guild presidents together and told them that the Japanese fleet may need to be dispatched in the future to help our Frost Rose Alliance fleet intercept the joint effort between Russia and the Americans. fleet.

The news from Masamoto Matsumoto was simply a bombshell, which instantly stunned all the Japanese guild presidents here.

In fact, these Japanese guild presidents cannot be blamed for this kind of thing. How do you say that? It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s that the world is changing rapidly.

Just a week ago, Japanese players thought that the Russians were their allies, while American players were an irrelevant force, and we, the Frost Rose Alliance, were their mortal enemies. However, just a week later, they suddenly learned that they and our Frost Rose Alliance were allies, and the Russians were actually enemies. You must know that not long ago they were fighting life and death with our Frost Rose Alliance. How long has it been? Why did the Japanese guild and our Frost Rose Alliance unite to deal with the US-Russian coalition forces when they turned around? Is this joke too big?

"Then what..." A Japanese guild president looked at Masamoto Matsumoto with some uncertainty and asked: "Our joint development of land in Russia this time does have some intersection with the Frost Rose Alliance, and so far The development is pretty good, but this suddenly turns us from the enemies of the Frost Rose Alliance into their allies. Isn’t this too strange?”

Matsumoto Masako glanced at August Xun next to him, and August Xun immediately stepped forward and explained: "Everyone, let me explain it to you. In fact, this matter cannot be considered an alliance, because we There is no joint agreement signed with the Frost Rose Alliance. Our previous joint defense agreement was limited to the land in the development zone and did not include maritime battles. Therefore, we have no alliance relationship with the Frost Rose Alliance on the sea. This point Everyone knows it.”

"That's right! It's because we know that we, you, are wondering why the Frost Rose Alliance would send us a defense request at this time. What I can't understand even more is that Matsumoto Masaru-kun, you actually agreed!" That Japanese guild The president was obviously a little emotional, and his expression was quite unstable when he spoke.

August Xun stretched out his hand to suppress the discussion below, and then continued: "Yes, this is the reason I want to explain." August Xun asked someone to take out a map, then pointed to it and said, "This They are all Russian lands, and now they have become our development zones, so the Russians are now in a hostile relationship with us. Everyone knows this. The relationship between the Americans and us is a little more complicated. Originally, we had no relationship with the Paladin. Yes, they had a conflict with the Frost Rose Alliance before, and attacked a secret research institute of the Frost Rose Alliance through Isinger Mobile Fortress. This is no longer a secret. But. Now, because of this matter, the Holy Lance Alliance has begun to fight with The Frost Rose Alliance went into full-scale war, and the Russians also joined in.

Russia's purpose is obvious, to help the enemy's enemies fight the enemy together. That is to say. The Russians helped the Paladin attack the Frost Rose Alliance. Once the decisive battle on the sea fails, the Frost Rose Alliance will inevitably be forced to conduct anti-landing operations in coastal areas in order to defend its country. They definitely need to concentrate their forces scattered around the world and return to the country, which must also include the forces in the development zone. "

Masamoto Matsumoto said at this time: "The purpose of the Russians is here. With the Frost Rose Alliance supporting here, and guilds like us supporting them, they can't get in at all. However, once the Americans land in China , then the Frost Rose Alliance needs to return to defend the country, and only our guilds will face the Russian counterattack alone. Do you think we can stop the Russian counterattack without the participation of the Frost Rose Alliance? "

As soon as Matsumoto Masaru's words came out, all the Japanese guild presidents below fell silent. These Japanese guild presidents are not fools. They may do stupid things like killing chickens and laying eggs for profit, but it is all for profit. As long as they see that their interests are threatened, these guys don't actually care about getting rid of them. Such a threat.

What Matsumoto Masaru is doing now is to let these people understand that what they are doing now is not only for our Frost Rose Alliance, they are actually fighting for themselves. Because after our Frost Rose Alliance suffers, the next one will be theirs.

Precisely because the presidents of the Japanese guilds have their own interests and views, after Masamoto Matsumoto explained the current situation clearly, these people made a decision quite quickly.

A Japanese guild president suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Matsumoto Masaru-kun, count me in."

"Count me in too." Another Japanese guild president stood up.

"Count me in……"

"Count me in……"

"..."

Someone took the lead, and others immediately began to respond enthusiastically. In the end, all the Japanese guild presidents present agreed to attack together with Masamoto Matsumoto, and they wanted to fight together to defend their own interests.

As the decision was made, the Japanese fleet was quickly assembled. However, unlike ours, in addition to Masamoto Matsumoto's new Black Dragon having many large battleships, the president of the Japanese guild was angry with him. What they brought were all small and medium-sized warships. The previous Sino-Japanese war was quite fierce. The Japanese navy was almost completely wiped out, and there was nothing left at all. Therefore, the navy of the Japanese guilds has just been established, and there are almost no decent ships. As for why there are so many battleships here, Matsumoto Masaru congratulated him. One reason is that Masamoto Matsumoto invested money in his "personal name" to purchase many battleships, and the other is that they once "captured" some battleships of our Frost Rose Alliance. Therefore, the New Black Dragon Society still has some relatively good battleships.

Although the battleships were not very good, Matsumoto Masaga and the Japanese guild presidents managed to build a relatively spectacular fleet to go to sea, and this fleet soon met us on the sea. The guild will first withdraw some light battleships.

The long-range bombardment of the US and Russian fleets over there is done by our large warships. The artillery range of these small boats is not enough. It will be dangerous if they get close, and it is easy to block the waterway if they follow the main force. After all, there are too many ships, so we All the light battleships came back early. It happened that the Japanese fleet went to sea and met our returning fleet on the sea.

When they first saw the Frost Rose flag flying, many Japanese Navy players almost stopped stuffing shells into the cannons. Fortunately, Masamoto Matsumoto had anticipated this situation before and asked the presidents of each guild to go down and talk to him. The person said hello several times. Thanks to the repeated warnings of these Japanese guild presidents, these Japanese players and NPCs finally did not directly attack our ally out of habit.

After thinking clearly that our Frost Rose Alliance is now an ally, the players of the Japanese fleet watched with strange eyes as their fleet and our fleet gradually merged and then mixed into one fleet. This situation is much more peaceful than the mixed fleets between the United States and Russia. After all, the Frozen Banshee and the Gunslinger are really hostile, and Matsumoto Masako and us are actually in the same group. The difference is still very big. obviously.

After the Japanese fleet and our light fleet merged, the battle on the other side of the sea also entered a fever pitch.

Our Storm Ruler attack aircraft have lost nearly 30,000 in previous battles, and this is not all losses, because our flying units are not only Storm Ruler attack aircraft, but also birds. The defense of the Bird attack aircraft was even weaker, so more than 40,000 of them were killed. It can be seen that the improvement of defense power does not have a great impact on the safety of aircraft, because no matter how armed it is, unless it is like the battleships overhead, the aircraft is destined to be unable to compete with surface ships for armor.

However, although more than 100,000 aircraft of various types before the war began, more than 70,000 have been lost now, but the US-Russian combined fleet that caused us such heavy losses is not so easy.

The cost of our loss of 70,000 aircraft was the destruction of 2,000 warships of the US-Russia coalition. Note that this is for damage, not damage. In fact, in addition to the sinking of more than 2,000 warships in the U.S.-Russian combined fleet, nearly 3,000 warships suffered varying degrees of damage. This means that the current number of warships in the U.S.-Russian combined fleet has been reduced by one-sixth. Although there are still more battleships than us, the total number is not much different. However, our warships are all in complete condition, while most of the warships in the US-Russian combined fleet are damaged. In this comparison, our chances of winning are obviously very high.

"Gun God, don't you have any trump cards?" The Frozen Banshee looked at the Gun God and said, "If you do, don't hide it. If you don't use it, you may not have the chance to use it."

The Gunslinger looked at the Frozen Banshee, struggled with his thoughts for two minutes, and finally stood up with a stamp of his feet. "Forget it, what you said makes sense. If I don't use it now, I won't have a chance to use it again. Expose it in advance, expose it in advance!" (To be continued...)
