Chapter 68 The Troops Are Approaching the City

On Saturday morning, the Sulawesi Sea was still shrouded in mist. There was no wind or waves on the calm sea, and everything seemed so peaceful. But in this quiet mist, a huge fleet was approaching the Makassar Strait at an unimaginable speed.

This channel was chosen for a reason. First, our spies reported last night that there would be heavy fog and little wind in the strait today, which is a suitable weather for beaching. Second, of the five main islands in Indonesia, exactly two of the four we need to be responsible for are on either side of it. Third, the mission of our main fleet is to patrol and fight decisively, and of course we must start in the central area of ​​Indonesia. Fourth, our Chinese guild is responsible for the most enemies on Sumatra. Entering from the Makassar Strait, you can first establish beachheads on Kalimantan and Sulawesi, where the density of enemies is small. This can attract enemies to leave Sumatra. , to facilitate our subsequent attack. The last and most critical reason is that those damn bastards parked my Noah at the port of Rout Island. We can get our Noah back first by rushing down from the Makassar Strait. If we were slow, who knows what those Indonesians would do to our ship. It would be better if it was towed away, but if it was destroyed, I would cry all my tears!

Most Indonesian players are not online yet early in the morning. Saturday morning is a good time to sleep in, so most people are not online yet. The few warships on the sea did not notice us, and our fleet went all the way deep into the strait. In order to cooperate with the operation, we also mobilized a part of the fog fleet to come to assist in the battle. What we want is that their fog will help us penetrate deep into the enemy's interior and attack suddenly.

The presidents of those guilds and I have arrived at the fleet through the cross-border teleportation array in Windmill City. The fleet flagship Tyrant is walking in the center of the fleet. Through the high observation room, we can see traces of the enemy through the fog. The spies' communication suddenly reached the battleship command room.

"President, this is Dolphin No. 1."

"I'm Ziri, what's going on?"

"The fleets of Indonesia's major guilds are now resting in their respective ports. No large fleets have left the port yet. Currently, Indonesia's largest Hong Kong fleet is in the port of Samarinda, and there is a building that has just been completed on the opposite coast. In the city of Siniyu, Indonesia’s second largest fleet and third largest fleet are both in the port of this city. Currently, two-thirds of Indonesia’s warships are in these two ports.”

I immediately looked at the map. "Understood. You should keep an eye on the movements of other fleets now. Also, tell Dolphin 2 to pay attention to the troop mobilization in Sumatra and report any situation at any time."

"clear."

After hanging up, I picked up another communication machine. "I am Ziri."

"This is the Rangers. Do you have any orders from the president?"

"How's Noah doing?"

"Noah is in the port in front of me and I can see it from here. The Indonesians have done a lot of research on it these days and they have figured out that it is an advanced mobile city ship. But they don't have enough We need the funds and technology to complete it. Last night we also eavesdropped on a meeting of theirs. Some people wanted to sell it to the Indians to make some money. Others said that we would definitely intercept it, so it should be dismantled on the spot to prevent us from having it. Take the opportunity to take it back."

My face turned pale with anger after hearing the report. "If there is anything going on with Noah, report it immediately. The fleet has entered the middle of the Makassar Strait and is approaching the target."

"We understand, good luck."

"hope so!"

Our fleet was divided into three off the coast of Samarinda, with a total of 1,800 warships remaining. They will be divided into two fleets and simultaneously deal with Indonesia's second and third largest fleets in the port of Siniyu and the first fleet of Indonesia in the mainland of Samarinda Port opposite. In order to ensure that they are not discovered, we put the ships seconded from the Mist Fleet to these two fleets to protect them with the Mist. The naturally formed heavy fog will gradually intensify as you go south, and the main fleet does not need artificial fog to protect it. More than 2,300 warships of the main fleet will go all the way south, first surrounding Lauter Island and retrieving Noah. At the same time, the battle between Samarinda and Siniyu will begin at the same time.

The enemy will probably concentrate more troops on those two cities, so we will take the opportunity to attack Sumatra and Java. At that time, the guilds in Papua New Guinea will also launch an invasion campaign to cooperate with us. When the time comes, flowers will bloom all over Indonesia, and they will be too busy to send reinforcements even if they want to. They were attacked everywhere and it was impossible to save anyone. If they are smart enough, they can quickly gather into a strong fortress city while the teleportation array is still available, which may cause some casualties to us. If they divide their forces to guard, then we can defeat them one by one.

A small fleet had just left Lauter Island and began sailing along the strait. Their destination was Samarinda. There were only three ships in this small fleet. Although they are all battleships, they are all wooden-hulled ships and are at the cannon fodder level. This small fleet passed our lead ship in the fog. Our fleet in the heavy fog did not find the other party at all, their tonnage is too small!

An Indonesian player stood on the bow of the boat, took a deep breath and said to the people around him: "I like the feeling of being in the fog the most. It's so dreamy, like a dream."

The person next to him immediately objected: "Only a lunatic like you would like it, and I'm not interested."

The third player came out of the cabin. "Dense fog is the most dangerous weather. We are running around like blind men in the strait. It will be bad luck if we bump into other people's ships!"

"Doesn't this boat have a long oar? Let the oars out so that if there is a boat, we can turn around and avoid it!"

"that's right."

The three old Indonesian warships lowered their long oars. Almost a few seconds later, the hydrophone operator on the Tyrant suddenly shouted: "Burst sound! Oh my God! There are hundreds of them!"

I was so scared that I almost fell off my seat. "Are you not mistaken?" Even if the Indonesians have torpedoes. It is definitely not a simple matter to launch hundreds of torpedoes at the same time.

As soon as I finished speaking, the listener said again: "No, no. It's not a torpedo. What is this sound? It's strange!"

I immediately opened the general channel of the fleet and asked all listeners to focus on identifying what the sound was. Rose raised her head and said to the observation room above: "Did you see anything?"

There was no answer yet. King Chuang said: "The fog is too heavy. I'm afraid that the observation mirror will condense and affect the battle for a while, so I asked them to turn it off. There is a pilot ship in front. They should be able to see something."

Suddenly a listener shouted: "It's an oar! That sound is the sound of a wooden-hulled warship's long oar!"

When he called out, the other listeners immediately reacted. Our guild has long since eliminated wooden-hulled warships, let alone long oars. As a result, no one reacted to this long-lost sound.

When we reacted, the three warships were already approaching our warship. The Indonesian player standing on the bow of the boat asked the person next to him: "What is that black shadow?"

"Dark shadow?" The man looked at it for a long time but didn't recognize what it was, so he called others over.

When everyone was talking about the landing, the distance was gradually getting closer, and the black shadow suddenly revealed a huge figure from the fog, which was a huge bow like a small island. The Indonesian players were stunned almost instantly. The middle one of the three Indonesian warships collided with the Tyrant.

A booming sound pulled everyone back from the shock. The Tyrant easily crushed the wooden-hulled battleship into a pile of wood chips like it smashed a model. The people on the boat only heard the impact and did not feel the vibration. The super battleship Tyrant with a displacement of 237,000 tons is completely different from this unknown wooden-hulled battleship. They are basically the difference between a big whale and a small goldfish.

The collision happened so suddenly that all the Indonesian crew members fell into the water. The two warships on both sides had no time to save anyone and turned around and ran away. They know that they can't outrun these armored ships, but it is certain that the big guys will not turn well. As long as they can reach the shore, they can activate the chat channel and send out the message. The two battleships passed through the Tyrant on both sides and escaped outward through the small gap between the fleets.

The Glorious fast cruiser saw a wooden-hulled ship approaching and immediately accelerated its speed. The destroyer Skylark next to him immediately cooperated with him and moved closer to the wooden-hulled battleship in the middle. There was no bang. That wooden warship actually fired at us. With a bang, the shell hit the side string of the Glorious, but it had no effect other than wiping off a piece of paint. How could this kind of mortar that fired solid iron balls be able to hit the armor of a cruiser, even if it was a fast cruiser.

The Skylark quickly moved closer to the Glory, and the two ships managed to sandwich the wooden-hulled battleship between them. Then they continued to turn the rudder and came closer, only to hear a sound of wood breaking, and the wooden-hulled warship was crushed to pieces.

Another wooden-hulled battleship was much luckier than this one. The battleships Huashan and Taishan that flanked it did not hit it. That damn wooden ship had a steam engine. It didn't use that thing in the first place, so our hydrophones never picked up on them. Now he suddenly activated this secret device, and as a result, he suddenly accelerated and ran out of our battleship. The Huashan and the Taishan collided with each other with a roar but did not catch the damn rotten wooden battleship.

The Indonesian wooden-hulled ship quickly rushed towards the coast after leaving our fleet. A destroyer on our side of the fleet suddenly made a sound of deflation, and a torpedo entered the water. The wooden battleship was hit before it could run very far. There was a loud bang and the battleship was reduced to nothing in a huge fireball. This little episode forced us to speed up and rush towards Lauter Island.

We thought the battleship was doomed, but it turned out that someone on the ship drove away in a speedboat before the torpedo hit them. It's too foggy. We didn't see the boat leave. The search team only saw a pile of wreckage and thought they had wiped out all the enemies, but in fact three people ran away.

As soon as these three guys landed, they immediately informed the president of their guild via private message. Because there was video evidence, their words were immediately accepted. The Indonesians moved quickly, and Noah was dragged out of the port and began to move. People in various cities began to become nervous, and all ports were in chaos. Everyone ran to resupply the battleship and prepare for the battle.

Thanks to my thoughtfulness, I sent a lot of spies here first. I received the report as soon as the Indonesians made any move. "President, the Indonesians seem to be aware of our actions. Every city has entered a state of war. Our actions have also been restricted. The 7th Ranger Team was just discovered, but they have lured the enemy away. We are now Noah is being monitored and it appears the Indonesians are trying to drag him away."

"Is there anything you can do to stop them?"

"If Dolphin 3 and 6 are allowed to use self-defense torpedoes to sink a few tugboats, it should be able to slow them down. If we blow up the port trestle, we should be able to hinder them for a while."

"That's enough, let's do it now. Hold on as long as possible. We will enter the range of the main gun in ten minutes."

"I think it should be okay!"

"It's not that you should. It's that you must."

"Yes, definitely."

I transferred the communication to the two fleets off Samarinda. "King Chuang?"

"I am here."

"We were exposed and started planning the birthday party in advance."

"Understood."

In the port of Samarinda, a large number of people were running to the warships, and some fast-moving warships had already begun to weigh anchor. But unfortunately, they were still a step too late. White tracks in the water quickly rushed into the port, followed by an earth-shaking explosion. Indonesia's only giant battleship of over 150,000 tons jumped into the air with a huge bang. Fireball. Immediately afterwards, this big ship was attacked by more than ten torpedoes in succession. The battleship immediately began to tilt, but it still persisted and did not sink. The Jakarta super battleship has a displacement of 189,000 tons and is the only Indonesian warship exceeding 150,000 tons. However, it is a pity that it has not sunk any battleship so far. However, it is not that it has never sunk other ships. Quite a few small fishing boats used by players in our country have been sunk by it. It’s just that I haven’t touched a Chinese warship.

The Jakarta was struck by mines in many places and began to take in water, but the damage control team still worked well and the battleship never sank. It slowly begins to adjust its angle and prepare to fire back, but will we give it the chance?

A giant dragon swooped down from the sky carrying eight bombs. He dropped all eight bombs in one breath. Because it was a dive bomb, the accuracy was very high, and all eight bombs hit. Eight bombs, each weighing three thousand pounds, easily tore off half the deck of the Jakarta. Immediately behind the dragon, a group of long guns began to dive and drop bombs. These small bombs were indeed meaningless against battleships, but their target was the small houses in the port. These stone buildings cannot stop bombs, and the ammunition, fuel, food, and medicine inside are all important supplies. Boom boom boom boom. A row of fireballs shot up from the port, and those precious supplies were destroyed.

The American players stood on the boat and whistled: "Yo! It's so enjoyable! It's much more enjoyable than watching it in the cinema!" Just after they finished speaking, a long gun whizzed past their heads, making them shrink their necks in fright. I've watched a lot of these American gamer movies, but the kind of shock wave movie theater where something really flies overhead cannot be simulated. They were startled just now, but as soon as the spear passed by, they immediately started jumping and shouting, "Come on!" They were so energetic!

King Chuang commanded the super battleship Storm to use its huge cannon to destroy the forts in the port one by one, while the other battleships concentrated on bombarding the warships in the port. Most of the Indonesian players have not yet boarded the ship, and many battleships only have a dozen or so people on board. Can't drive out at all. A group of players ran out of the port. They rushed towards the battleship in an attempt to drive it out, but the accurate low-altitude bombing of the long guns quickly destroyed the wooden trestle. The players running above were also sent to the sky.

The pier was destroyed, and the players behind them desperately jumped into the water and swam towards the battleships, but more torpedoes entered the port, and their targets sank one after another. The port was filled with whirlpools caused by sinking battleships, and many people were pulled into the whirlpool and never came out.

After King Chuang commanded the naval guns to knock out all the forts, the fleet began to advance towards the port. As the distance shortened, the accuracy of the cannonballs improved significantly. The remaining individual warships were also sent to the bottom of the sea one by one. These were not 'operated' The personnel's warships are completely good fixed targets, and they can be hit accurately every time.

Although the battleship Jakarta was severely damaged, it never sank. King Chuang ordered the follow-up troops to stop attacking the ship. The initial torpedo destroyed its operating mechanism, and the subsequent bombing also silenced its artillery. Now this target does not pose any threat, and it can be repaired and sold to nearby small countries. Our guild looks down on this kind of shabby warship, which is what small countries without manufacturing capabilities want. After all, the Jakarta is considered a giant ship, and it should still be very capable if it had not been attacked.

The First Detachment led by King Chuang plowed the port like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, and the next task was to launch a landing operation. With the cooperation of a large number of American and German players, the city was occupied, and then the German flag was hung. After canceling the city definition and reapplying for the city, the city officially became German territory. After securing the port, the giant ships in the fleet quickly left the port. On the opposite side of the strait, the Second Squadron was attacking Xiniyu. However, according to the spy report, the city of Xiniyu had just been built and had not yet been equipped with forts, so King Chuang left all the capital ships to the first detachment, and this second detachment only had small and medium-sized warships. Now that it's over here, of course the large battleships will go over to help.

Those American players also followed the large battleship to Xiniyu on the other side, where the sky was really filled with smoke. Samarinda's warships were not prepared, so they were settled without any resistance at all. However, the warships on Xiniyu's side happened to be going out to do something, so they had already started loading supplies. After receiving the news of the invasion of the foreign fleet, the fleet immediately armed itself and prepared to resist the attack. The second detachment arrived relatively quickly and blocked most of the opponent's warships in the port, but a small half still escaped, and a real naval battle broke out.

When King Chuang arrived, the fleet was in a lively fight. Cannonballs were flying across the sea, and occasionally there were giant fireballs rising from battleships whose ammunition depots exploded. The deafening explosions, terrifying shock waves, and the strong smell of sulfur on the sea all made those American players extremely excited. American players are not like us. We have frequent wars with Japan, but the U.S. fleet can basically only bully the small neighboring countries. There are no battles to fight at all, so this large-scale naval battle is still very exciting for them.

"Be careful!" King Chuang caught an American girl who suddenly fell from the turret. "Why did you climb onto the fort? Are you trying to kill yourself? We are still fighting!"

"It's rare to see such a fierce battle. It would be a pity not to watch it. My name is Luna, the vice-president of the Patrali Guild. What do you call me handsome guy?"

"My name is King Chuang, Commander-in-Chief of the Navy of the Frost Rose Alliance."

"It turns out to be the fleet commander! Happy meeting. Thank you just now."

King Chuang had no intention of chatting with her, and said politely: "It's a little effort. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now." After that, he climbed into the turret and began to explain things.

Luna muttered outside: "It's strange, why is this guy so cold. Has my charm failed? Or are all Chinese men like this? No, we can't let him be so arrogant. How dare he not pay attention to me, I have to let him Pay attention."

Chuang Wang suddenly sneezed unprepared: "That's strange, who is talking bad about me!"

"Captain, the Indonesian fleet has entered the firing range." The report from the observation room interrupted Wang Chuang's thoughts.

"Open fire, kill them one by one from big to small, don't leave any behind."

"clear!"
