Chapter 2 Burning City

The largest of these seven Japanese warships does not exceed 0 meters. Although these are already considered very large warships, they are still much smaller than ours. In contrast, they were relatively flexible in turning, and quickly completed the formation. Our movements will be a little slower, but this is already very good. Our battleships are several times larger than theirs, and the formation is only a little slower, which is already a very good performance.

In any case, the Japanese completed the alignment first. Their seven warships were not of the same level, but of three types. Four of the ironclads should be considered to be between destroyers and cruisers according to our tonnage standards of Essinger, but the Japanese obviously regard themselves as battleships, because they are also in a line-up array. One of the other three ships is a catamaran, and it is probably a flying dragon aircraft carrier. The Japanese have a lot of them. The remaining two boats are both wooden boats. The funniest thing is that one of them is actually the one we sold last time, which means I can detonate it remotely. Hey Hey! (The 'treacherous' smile...)

After the formation was completed, the Japanese fired first. Most of the artillery can reach the distance of not too far, and I heard that the Japanese introduced artillery technology from the United States. Now the range of Japanese naval guns is generally between 30 and 60 kilometers. . A burst of smoke rose from the opposite side, and the Japanese warship fired shells at us first.

Heavy pound shells flew over with a scream in the air, and with a continuous burst of clanging, a row of columns rose up next to the Eternal. Pu Yin was so frightened that she squatted on the ground, but she soon discovered that none of us moved. He looked around and seemed to find no problem before standing up again. The Japanese shells failed to cause any damage to the Ever Given's armor and had no effect other than leaving some marks on the armor plates. How can I deal with the fortress cannons in the city in the future if the super battleship I have invested so much in and can't even stop such a small cannon?

I directly shouted through the external loudspeaker: "Fire! After the salvo, each ship is free to fire! Listen to me and the count begins."

The other two battleships also responded with loudspeakers modified by the amplification magic array: "Victory understands." "Flash understands."

"Three, two, one, fire!"

boom! The three ships shook violently at the same time. Park Yin and the Korean crew members who were unprepared were almost knocked down by the shock. Fortunately, the new soundproofing equipment played a role, and although the sound was loud, it was not unbearable. Due to the powerful power of the 5mm cannon, even a battleship with a displacement of 198,000 tons will still experience significant shaking and translation. Fortunately, the weight of the battleship itself offsets a lot of the impact.

Ten seconds later, the shell landed in the Japanese battleship array with a sharp whistle. A large column of water rose around the second Japanese warship in the middle, but miraculously not a single shot hit it. But this cannot make the Japanese feel any happy, because hundreds of tons of seawater raised by the shells are hitting the battleship from an altitude of several meters. A huge swell threw the battleship in the middle sideways. The battleship fell back to the water and was almost broken into two pieces by the waves.

Although this battleship survived, the battleship next to it was not so lucky. The first battleship at the front was hit by 7 5mm shells, and the entire ship exploded into eight pieces. The third battleship was even worse. It was hit by 30 5mm shells and didn't even break. The whole ship turned into countless fragments flying around like broken glass. The last battleship was luckier, it was hit by one shell, but what was more pitiful was that the shell took away the main battery and the smaller half of the bow. The battleship with billowing smoke began to flee in a hurry. But unfortunately, the thick smoke affected the view, and it hit the Feilong aircraft carrier next to it, causing a big gap in its own aircraft carrier.

The second round of reloading on our side was completed, and the Victory opened fire first. Five shells landed on the unlucky aircraft carrier with a scream. The aircraft carrier, which had been knocked out of a big hole, rolled and sank, taking the injured warship with it. The Eternal No. 2 and No. 3 turrets were loaded at the same time, and 10 heavy-pound shells fell on the battleship that had just been spared. This time it was not so lucky. The poor battleship sank into the sea with black smoke.

The main force was finished in an instant, and the two wooden ships behind turned around and ran away, but they were not as fast as the cannonballs. A cannonball fell on the deck of one of the warships, and the warship was blown to pieces by the cannonball. In the end, there was only one battleship left that we sold. We didn’t need to waste the shells this time. We asked a member to fly with the detonating crystal to a controlled distance to activate the crystal. The battleship flew into the sky inexplicably. It is estimated that they will not die until they die. Know what hit you.

Park Yin looked at our battle with bright eyes. "Your battleships are so powerful!"

I said meaningfully: "You get what you pay for. The material cost of this ship exceeds the total cost of 10 wooden-hulled warships. If it's not powerful, why would I spend so much effort?"

"Brother...!" Pu Yin began to lean in with a coquettish voice.

"Don't think about it, I won't sell it." This is a trump card. Selling a few small battleships is nothing. How can a capital ship be sold? No matter how short of money I am, I can't do such a stupid thing!

"I beg you……!"

I pulled my arm out of his grasp. "If you want an ironclad ship, it's easy to negotiate. I can sell you the ones that are no longer than 300 meters like the ones just now. But how can I sell it if it's my battleship?"

Park Yin saw that my tone was so determined and said nothing more. "Okay then! I'll buy you a small battleship, 300 meters long."

"Don't be angry. 300 meters is already quite large. Our ships have special uses, so they are built so big. In normal operations, 300 meters is a large warship."

"All right!"

"By the way, I want to tell you that I can sell ships, but not too fast. I haven't built my own fleet yet! The shipyard's manufacturing capacity is now limited, and it is impossible to completely produce warships for you."

"I understand that, but you have to ensure at least one or two ships a week, right?"

"That's no problem."

"Okay, I'll send someone to discuss the specific matters with you when I get back." Park Yin may seem young, but in fact he has a very shrewd business acumen.

The warship left the warring waters and continued to move toward Japan, and soon reached Japanese territorial waters. There are no more waves here, but the rain is still falling, but it has become much lighter. I don’t know why, but we went deep into Japanese waters for more than half an hour, but we didn’t encounter a single Japanese warship. Ordinarily, the number of Japanese warships should have recovered after the last disaster took so long! How come there is no boat?

After circling the Japanese waters for a long time, they did not encounter a single Japanese warship. Instead, they encountered a group of Korean fleets first. The other party was shocked when they saw us, and they didn't come close until they saw our flag. I sent Park Eun and the others onto a Korean warship and asked them to take them back.

The other party's commander was a middle-aged man, and I asked him about the situation. "Did you see the Japanese ship?"

"No!" The other party shook his head. "what about you?"

"We didn't see it either, that's why we asked you. Originally, we came to Xunhai for a decisive battle today, so we didn't know we wouldn't run into anyone!"

The South Korean captain also sighed: "That's right! I didn't find any Japanese warships. I don't know why all the large warships in Japan are missing. From this morning to now, all I have encountered are small warships in groups of 10,000 tons." All the above warships are gone!"

I thought to myself, where on earth could they go? The large warships across the country acted collectively, what a huge fleet it was! What goal is worthy of dispatching so many warships together? "No!" I jumped up. "Sorry, we have something urgent and we have to leave first."

He quickly rushed to the bridge, picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "Every ship turns around, let's go back to China, fast, the Japanese warships may go to China to cause damage!"

"Wait a minute." Rose stopped me and said, "They set off in the morning and should have arrived by now. Even if we sail at full speed, it will take several hours to arrive. By then it will be too late to do anything."

"What should we do?"

"They want to destroy Chinese ports. Aren't we going to destroy Japanese ports? Let's compete to see who can demolish them faster."

"Okay." I picked up the loudspeaker again. "The plan has changed. The entire fleet is approaching the coast. We will filter all the coastal cities along the Japanese coast."

Fortunately, the supply difficulties were taken into consideration when designing, so the three warships were equipped with very large ammunition depots, and the players in our guild all have dedicated space for Fenglong, which is a natural ammunition depot. This time Urban annihilation wars can show the advantages of giant ammunition depots. The three warships quickly left the Korean fleet and approached the Japanese coast. The first city had already appeared in the observation mirror. In order to save ammunition, we plan to get closer and shoot accurately, which will be more effective.

The Japanese port also discovered us at the same time, but their reaction was quite strange. They didn't take the initiative to open fire. Ordinarily they shouldn't! Ultimately I decided to ignore the Japanese's strange behavior and let's fire first. The Victory, which was running at the front, opened fire first, and 25 heavy artillery shells took care of the five forts in the port. But the strange thing is that there is still no response here even after we opened fire. Is there no one in the city?

"Zi Ri! The situation is a bit strange!" Chuang Wang said.

"Ignore him, don't fight back, just get close and bulldoze him."

The three warships began to shoot while approaching the port. When we were only ten kilometers away from the port, suddenly there was a loud noise in the city, and a sharp whistle immediately appeared above our heads. "No, fortress cannon! Cunning Japanese!"

boom! A shell landed on the first turret on the bow. There was a dull sound of metal twisting, and the entire top of the No. 1 turret was dented. King Chuang quickly used the team channel to contact the people in the No. 1 turret. Although the chat system at sea has distance limitations, it is not a problem to cover the entire ship. "No. 1 Battery? How is the situation? No. 1 Battery? Answer quickly? No. 1 Battery?"

After asking for a long time and getting no response, I opened the cabin door and rushed out. "King Chuang, inform all ships to pay attention to fire suppression."

I rushed all the way to Fort No. 1, and Rose ran over after me. Green smoke was rising from the top of the No. 1 turret, but it didn't look very serious. I grabbed the hatch of the turret and pulled it open. Fortunately, the turret was not seriously deformed and the door could still be opened.

When I opened the hatch, I discovered that the inside of the turret was not filled with flames as expected. There was no damage at all. The only difference was that the roof was dented. The 12 players in the turret were all lying on the ground, and all of them had no obvious injuries. I picked up a player and shook it. "Hey! Wake up! Get up quickly, are you okay?"

The girl got up in a daze. "Well! What's wrong with me! Oh! My head! It feels like someone hit me with a sledgehammer!" It seems that they are all fine and just fainted!

He told King Chuang in the team channel: "It's okay, everything is normal. Our battleship is not bad, but the roof is a little deformed, and the people inside were stunned. The turret has not lost its combat effectiveness."

"That is not bad!"

Just after I finished speaking, there was another loud "dang" sound, which knocked me to the ground. I quickly ran out of the cabin and saw a dent on the side of the battleship's control tower, but it was not serious. Use the team channel again to give orders to the people on the battleship. "Each fort concentrates its firepower to suppress the opponent's heavy artillery. Don't let them fire again."

Judging from the deformation of the battleship, the caliber of the Japanese fortress guns should be more than 500 mm. The two cannons just made two dents, indicating that the opponent's shells are very powerful, but to penetrate our armor, the caliber must be larger. Angry, I climbed up to the top of the magic light cannon. After searching for a long time with my star pupil, I finally saw the damn fortress cannon. That gun was much larger than I thought. Its caliber was at least 800 mm, but its power seemed not as powerful as our 5 mm naval gun. At first, I thought it was some kind of high-power artillery, but it turned out to be a super cannon. That damn cannon was hidden in a specially built bunker-shaped building, and the barrel protruded from a window. No wonder the target wasn't discovered at the beginning.

I operated the magic light cannon to start gathering energy. When it was about to reach the critical point, the armor shield slowly opened, and the magic light cannon's firing port was stretched out to aim at the target. Pulling the firing rod fiercely, the magic light cannon immediately shot out a bright white beam. Slowly rotate the barrel so that the beam draws a straight line on the ground. The dazzling white light easily destroyed the fortress cannon's bunker and melted the fortress cannon inside into molten iron. The beam continued to move and draw a passage in the city. After the firing, the shield was immediately closed, and water mist sprayed down from the top to dissipate heat from the magic light cannon. The Japanese fort noticed our super weapon. As soon as the shield was closed, there was a clanking sound outside. But without the super fortress cannon, they couldn't do anything to us. After handing over the magic light cannon to the players in the meeting, I returned to the command tower.

After the shelling on land was suppressed, it was our turn to show off our power, and I gave the order again. "Everyone is free to shoot."

It was great now. 75 giant cannons and 3 magic light cannons, coupled with the cooperation of thousands of small and medium-sized artillery pieces, continued to bombard the city. A heavy artillery shell accurately landed on the top of the Japanese temple in the center of the city. With a bang, the entire temple was turned into pieces. A shell landed in the middle of the road, and half of the entire block was blown away by the shock wave. The two nearest buildings were in ruins. Many Japanese players fled in panic on the streets, but the shells were raining down, and there was no place to hide. Ordinary players can still escape offline, but players in the city's guilds can only run desperately towards the forts and ports.

A few minutes of shelling turned the entire city into ruins. In an era without aircraft carriers and missiles, cannons and giant ships were the strength, and whoever had the bigger caliber was the boss. Our strategy was very correct. Three battleships completely suppressed the port forts, leaving the entire city vulnerable.

Rumbling sounds of artillery continued to be heard from each ship, and they began to leave the port after dumping the last round of artillery shells on the city. None of the Japanese battleships were there, and the coastal defense artillery was no match at all. We were simply massacred.

Minutes later we arrived at the second city, which turned out to be the city of our old friend the Black Dragon Society. Judging from the scale, this is a large city, and there is a dock at the port. Generally, small ports only provide docking for ships and do not build docks. Only large ports are equipped with docks. This port actually has two docks lined up side by side. It must be a front-line base level port.

"Be careful!" I jumped up and grabbed Chuang Wang's steering wheel, and violently turned the steering wheel around. boom! A water column exploded on the right side of the bow. The Victory in front immediately fired back, and the fort that fired the gun was immediately blown to pieces.

The door of the opponent's dock suddenly opened, and a ship's bow appeared in the dock. I didn’t expect there to be a large warship in the harbor! Seeing that the enemy ship had not yet completely come out of the dock, the artillery fire could not be effective in a short period of time and quickly gave the order. "Speed ​​up the Victory, drive fast and sink it!"

"Victory understands!"

The Victory in front suddenly accelerated and broke away from the array. The opponent's port fort saw our intention and immediately intercepted the Victory with fire. I ordered the ship: "Fire cover!" The dense artillery shells immediately rained down on the Japanese fort. A heavy artillery shell fell to the ground, and a dozen Japanese were lifted away from the fort along with the cannons by the air waves. The Flash behind immediately covered the fort behind with fire, and a rain of shells smashed the port fort to pieces.

The Japanese warship that just left the dock is more than 300 meters long and has a displacement of at least 50,000 tons. It seems that it was just completed and therefore did not attack with the large force. As soon as the battleship left the port, the Victory rushed in front of it before it had time to adjust its course. The Victory's front main gun fired five shots at the middle of the enemy ship. At such a close distance, even such a large warship could not withstand the attack of heavy artillery shells, and a large hole was blown open in the entire middle. The Victory then aimed at the cut and rammed into it. Boom, a loud bang was followed by a huge sound of metal twisting. The newly completed warship sank into the sea unwillingly.

"There is another fort in the northeast corner. Victory, kill it."

The No. 3 turret of the Victory quickly turned around and started bombarding. After more than a dozen shells were fired, there was no complete building on the entire turret. The city-breaking cannon on the Flash also began to roar, and high-explosive armor-piercing shells opened a large hole in the port city wall. Then the magic crystal cannons opened fire and tore the entire city wall apart to make it easier for the main gun to fire.

My Eternal was anchored outside the harbor. Anyway, the enemy had no cannons, so it would be more stable to fire if we stopped. Boom, the No. 1 turret roared, half of a high-rise building in the city was missing with a bang, and the remaining half of the building collapsed. Then heavy artillery shells rained down on the city one after another, and buildings fell one after another.

Suddenly a member's voice came from the team channel. "President, there is another battleship in the dock."

I immediately paid attention to the dock, and sure enough I saw the shadow of a ship's bow, and many Japanese were running towards the dock. Apparently the ship didn't move just because there were no people there. "Concentrate firepower to blockade the dock. Don't let them get on the ship. We will tow the warship back."

"I know, let's start the blockade immediately."

The Japanese players in the port ran frantically towards the dock, but shells fell intensively near them, and groups of people were blown into a ball of red mist and disappeared into the air. However, the blocking effect with artillery was not good, and many Japanese rushed to the vicinity of the battleship. I suddenly remembered that there was a rotating gun improved from a rapid-fire ballista on the ship! "Attention on all artillery positions, level the anti-aircraft guns to prevent the Japanese on land from approaching the dock."

"clear."

I climbed up to the bridge myself and pointed the rapid-fire cannon at the port ahead and started strafing. This thing was much more enjoyable than the cannon. The Japanese fell one by one like wheat. The shelling and fire blockade forced most of the Japanese to fall unconscious outside the dock. At this time, the city was completely wiped out by the other two warships, and the entire city was destroyed.
