Chapter 114 Big Reversal

"I knew you would blow up the ship without hesitation." Bloody Rose said while taking over the map indicating the explosion point: "The underwater demolition team is ready and can set off immediately."

"Then let's get started."

The steel claws of our guild and the underwater motorboats from Atlantis are very good underwater vehicles. Our players use steel claws, and specially trained NPCs use underwater motors to carry a large number of explosives. 'Medicine' drove towards the warships marking the points. I didn't discuss it with the Americans at all because there was no need. They would not know who attacked them, and it was completely understandable for "accidental injuries" to occur in this kind of battle.

There are a total of thirty-seven explosion points that need to be blasted, and twenty-nine of them are American warships. It took the underwater team more than ten minutes to find these points, and then it took another ten minutes to install bombs on these warships. In the process, we also lost a demolition team, but this did not affect the completion of the work.

After getting the completion signal, I stood on the top of the Great White Shark and looked at the floating island-like battleship group on the sea. True Red helped me hold the detonation control panel, and Bloody Rose stood beside me and held the detonation sequence diagram. The Son of the Night accompanied the leader of the Seratis tribe and Huangshi and stood behind me, preparing to see how I would solve this problem. The members of the Seratis tribe still don't know our plan.

I picked up the communication machine: "Attention all battleships of the Frost Rose Alliance, I am the president Ziri, and I am now issuing a first-level battle order. All battleships enter the combat state, all gun ports are loaded, and the submarine force dives to the combat depth, five minutes Then the fight started.”

Bloody Rose pointed to the explanation diagram and explained to me: "This is the sequence diagram passed by Essinger. These two points will be blown up first, and then here. Su Mei said that after the explosion at this point, we must first Only after it has completely sunk can you detonate the lower points, and then the battleship group will begin to regain some of its mobility. At this time, exploding the remaining points can ensure that the fleet is completely dispersed."

"Okay, I understand. Zhenhong, please help me time it. Tell King Chuang that he will be in charge of the order of battle, and I will be in charge of the Great White Shark and the Great White Shark's escort fleet."

"clear."

Head of State Seratis was obviously very surprised when he watched our preparations for battle from behind, but he didn't act too exaggerated. The elderly are calmer after all. Huang Shi, a hairy boy, didn't have the same self-cultivation as his father, and he was jumping up and down very excitedly.

"Ziri, you are so handsome. Do you own such a large fleet?" Huang Shi asked me excitedly.

The Son of the Night answered for me: "This is part of the strength of our guild. Because homeland defense also requires the navy, it is impossible to send them all."

"It's really exaggerated."

I looked at the timer and picked up the communication machine again: "Attention all fleets, there is a countdown to the last minute. I will blow up several concentration points of the mixed fleet to collapse the entire fleet group. American and Japanese warships will be there." Disperse completely within ten to twenty minutes. I ask you to fire immediately if you find an opportunity during this period. If you are confident in your own skills, you can fire freely. If you accidentally injure American allies, I will help you deal with the aftermath. But it is best not to give it to me. Too much trouble.”

"Haha, President, are you bad enough?" Some captain said this into the communication machine, causing the whole channel to burst into laughter.

"Which bastard is talking nonsense? Be careful when you get home and I will ask you to clean the God's toilet." My reply made me laugh even more. I waited for them to finish laughing before continuing: "Okay, okay, let's start the joke again. Ten seconds countdown before detonation. Keep an eye on me and try not to hit the American warship. Seven, six... three, two, one, Detonate."

I quickly pressed a control crystal, and there was a muffled sound in the battleship group. There wasn't much movement and no fire. The underwater explosion was blocked by the hull, so the flames were basically invisible, and the sound was not very loud because it came from underwater. However, the power of the explosion was indeed revealed. The bombed ship suddenly jumped upward, and then sank from the middle, with the bow and stern tilted up. The battleship quickly slid down the water. From the telescope, you can see a large group of players and NPC sailors sliding from the deck into the water. The scene is extremely tragic.

Pressing the second set of crystals again, the two ships exploded at the same time and began to sink. This time, the charge position was farther back. The battleship sank first at the stern, then began to roll on the sea, and finally came to a complete bottom. Chaotian sunbaked his belly there. The red bottom of the ship persisted for a while and then began to sink under the water. Some people who had not had time to swim away all sank to the dark bottom with the warship.

Next activate the third set of crystals. Another series of explosions. Several battleships were blown apart at the same time, and the wreckage could not maintain balance at all. Tumbled and sank into the sea. Several large holes suddenly appeared in the battleship group. Some battleships immediately moved their positions. Then the outer battleships began to move outward. The inner battleships also gained room to adjust and began to spread out. As expected, the entire frame began to loosen. Su Mei's calculation is correct. As long as the center point is blown up, the battleship group can be released.

I picked up the ship's internal communication machine and ordered: "Dive to combat depth."

The exit of the Great White Shark is the shark's mouth. If this part is not allowed to come out of the water, it will be difficult for the warship to drive out, so we floated very high at the beginning. This is more dangerous for us during combat, so we can sink a little as long as the combat platform is on the water.

A string of bubbles quickly rose around the Great White Shark, and the battleship began to sink rapidly downwards. I detonated several warships again, and the fleet group immediately became more violent. Some warships separated completely, and some even started to use secondary guns to bombard them at close range.

"Over there." I quickly pointed to a Japanese warship: "Qiangwei, order the bombardment. Our angle is just enough."

Bloody Rose quickly picked up the microphone: "The artillery control room, requesting shelling, the target has been marked on the synchronization display."

"What is a synchronization display?" asked the leader of the Seratis clan.

"That's it." Qiangwei patted a small instrument next to her. "The picture displayed above will appear between the command platform and the gunfire room at the same time. We draw the target on it and see it below. Because the picture is completely consistent, the speed and accuracy of combat command are improved."

"It is indeed an advanced instrument."

Just as he was talking, a small door opened on the side of the shark fin of the Great White Shark, and a giant weapon stretched out. This thing looks similar to an ordinary cannon, but the barrel is very slender. I saw the tip of this weapon light up, and a line of fire hit the target warship. The 'shooting' line does not end at once. It's getting brighter and getting brighter.

boom. A small fireball rose from the target in the distance, and the battleship's control tower had turned into a pile of molten iron. The radiation slowly became thinner and dimmed again, and finally went out completely. Head of State Seratis didn't say anything this time, but Huang Shi jumped up and down excitedly and kept cheering.

I turned to Zhenhong and said, "Activate all the remaining explosion points."

Zhen Hong immediately pressed all the crystal switches, and a string of sparks rose in the fleet group. The chaotic formation completely fell apart. The fleet began to expand outward. If it continues in this direction, it should be able to escape completely soon.

After waiting for ten minutes, the fleet finally dispersed. At least order was restored on the sea, but the situation did not develop in the direction I thought. For some unknown reason, the American warships seemed to have insufficient power. When they got out of the chaos, the Japanese warships came out before the Americans. King Chuang rushed up with our advance fleet, intending to meet the American warship, but unexpectedly he hit the Japanese warship first. The two sides fired head-on without saying a word, and the formal artillery battle suddenly started without warning. There was a rumble on the sea, and the shelling battle was much more violent than the hand-to-hand combat.

I turned around from the command tower and walked to the edge of the stairs: "Rose, I'll leave this to you. The Great White Shark is not a battleship. It's best not to participate in a formal battle. You retreat a little, and it's best to dive a little further. I'm going to Poseidon Command on board."

"Take me with you." Huang Shi looked at me and begged.

I looked at Head Seratis. He seemed to have no intention of stopping me. "Okay, follow me. Don't leave my side. Red and Night, will you follow me or stay here?"

"I'll go take command of the ship over there." Zhenhong pointed to another battleship.

Ye Zhizi said: "I'd better follow you."

I boarded the Poseidon with Nightchild and Huangshi, and then the Great White Shark slowly began to dive and slowly retreated a certain distance. This level of naval battle is typical of many people and many hands, and I don't want anything to go wrong with the Great White Shark.

I stood in the command room of the Eternal and picked up the communication machine: "Attention the Great White Shark escort fleet, I am Ziri, and I am now in command. The fleet spreads out in a wild goose shape. Pay attention to maintaining the formation, and all energy cannons begin to recharge. On standby temporarily."

Huang Shi asked curiously: "Why not let the artillery load?"

"The Japanese warships are not completely close yet. We are not yet sure which ammunition is appropriate to use. If we load the wrong ammunition and then exit, it will be troublesome. Moreover, we have an automatic loading machine, and the temporary loading speed is also very fast. "

"So this is ah."

The Chuangwang fleet in front has already come into contact with the Japanese fleet that rushed out first. From the neat formation of the Japanese fleet, it can be seen that their combat quality is much better than that of the Americans. The American fleet is simply a mess. The Japanese fleet formed small temporary squadrons on this chaotic sea. Although a large corps is more advantageous for fighting, everyone is in chaos now, and the small fleet is already the limit of the Japanese's capabilities.

Taking advantage of the range advantage, the fleet led by Chuang Wang took the lead in firing at the Japanese. The first round of bombardment was mainly the main cannon and the magic light cannon. These cannons were very powerful and almost directly destroyed several ships of the Japanese fleet. Large battleship. The Japanese took a round of hits and rushed over without slowing down. King Chuang's fleet immediately launched a second round of shooting. This time the artillery from both sides fired at the same time. When our fleet fired in the second round, they had already entered the firing range.

"Dodge!" King Chuang ordered loudly. Our fleet immediately began to snake and maneuver on the sea. A row of columns rose from the side of the battleship. Little Japan's artillery accuracy has always been exaggerated. But we still don't know why they hit so accurately.

"Report the damage." King Chuang asked the first mate immediately after seeing the first round of shelling.

The first officer quickly asked in front of the communication machine and then turned around and said: "The bow battery of the battlecruiser Takanawa was hit by a bullet. Please turn to the rear to cover the brigade in advance. The other battleships are basically undamaged."

"Reply to the Takanawa and agree to their request."

"Yes." The first mate quickly conveyed the order to the communication machine.

Immediately after a round of shelling by Japanese warships on the sea, several special warships accelerated out of the formation. These bastards. Dare to play tricks at this time. The shape of those battleships is like a cauldron turned upside down on the sea. The smooth top has no protrusions, and the super-inclined hull of the battleship makes the battleship quite low. If it were not for the relatively long distance, it would almost be lost. The shooting angle is up.

King Chuang immediately ordered the battleship group to shoot these battleships first. Once the distance reaches a certain limit, it will no longer be possible to obtain a sufficient angle for bombardment, and it will be dangerous at that time. After receiving the order, each ship immediately began to fight back, but the situation was very bad. The first shell hit the outer shell of the battleship and ricocheted immediately. It only scratched a spark on the outer shell and was bounced up and exploded in mid-air. Only a green streak was left on the outer shell of the battleship. imprint.

"What a hard shell!" The gunner who fired the gun was shocked when he saw the result of the bombardment.

The bombardment commander patted him: "It's not a problem with the material. The shell is too tilted and doesn't bear any force at all."

Chuangwang's voice suddenly sounded in the bombardment room: "All gun positions are equipped with condensation bombs."

"clear."

The bombardment commander pulled the gun door, and the half-ton shell slid out on its own due to gravity. The loader caught the shell and placed it in the fixed slot on the wall. The deputy operated another semi-automatic loader to push the new shell into the barrel. The gunner quickly closed the gun door and pressed the calibration switch. The turret automatically rotated to track the target according to the signal from the battleship's fire control room.

"Fire." King Chuang's voice appeared again.

The gunner pulled the handle hard, and there was a muffled sound in the shelling room. A shell flew to the target, but this time there was no spark. As soon as the shells came into contact with the shells of those turtle-shell battleships, they immediately exploded, and a large amount of blue liquid erupted and spread over a large area. As soon as the blue liquid dispersed, it immediately began to smoke, and the white steam steamed up like a fire. The outer shell of the battleship was quickly covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and large pieces of broken ice appeared on the nearby sea surface. This is the special artillery shell condensed bomb of our guild. Rapid evaporation of liquid with a low boiling point is used to instantly cool the temperature of a local area.

King Chuang ordered again: "Load all main guns with explosive armor-piercing shells."

The gunner in the shelling room opened the gun door. Because the second round was loaded too quickly, the smoke in the gun chamber had not been completely exhausted. A burst of smoke entered the room, but the players and NPCs here did not care about this. The loader quickly pushed in a cannonball with a yellow warhead. The gunner closed the gun door and began to wait for orders.

"Fire."

Boom, all the shells this time are explosive warheads, which are very powerful. The ultra-low temperature freezing has made the shells of those battleships as brittle as raw glass, although the cannonballs were still bounced. However, the shock wave from the high-explosive warhead's close-range explosion still completely destroyed the frozen area. The steel plates covered with hoarfrost burst like glass, completely exposing the internal structure of the battleship.

Chuang Wang shouted loudly: "Load long-lasting incendiary bombs on all angled gun positions, aim at those holes, and fire immediately after completion."

This time there is no need to issue an order to fire. You can fire as long as the shells are loaded. The operators at all the gun positions quickly opened the gun doors, and a shell with a red warhead was pushed into the gun barrel. Immediately afterwards, due to different skill proficiency, the sounds of artillery fire were heard one after another. A red-colored cannonball flew into the hull from the big hole in the turtle-shell warships and was detonated by a small embedded bomb.

These red warheads are all filled with long-lasting incendiary agents, and the small bombs explode as soon as they occur. The shells outside immediately disintegrated, and yellow oily substances were sprayed everywhere. These yellow substances immediately began to burn as soon as they came into contact with the air, and the flames burst out instantly. The turtle shells on the sea did not stop, and it would take some time for the flames to destroy the battleship, but the gaps and all the positions that could leave the battleship were opened automatically. A large number of Japanese people covered in fire screamed and climbed out of the battleship and jumped into the sea. However, this yellow substance was insoluble in water and was very sticky. If it sticks up, it won't come down. Diving really does put out the flames. But this thing will burn when it sees air, unless you don't get out of the water. Otherwise it doesn’t matter how long you are down there. As soon as it appears, it will start burning again.

The burning men on the sea screamed hysterically, and eventually turned into charred corpses floating on the sea. Those turtle-shell warships continued to move forward for several hundred meters after losing all their crews, and suddenly explosions occurred one after another. The high temperature finally caused the fuel and ammunition inside the ship to explode. Although the hulls of these battleships can withstand external impacts, they are powerless against internal explosions. All the turtle-shell warships were finished before they could enter the blind spot of gunfire.

The Japanese may have planned to rely on this kind of warship to penetrate the defense, but they did not expect that our artillery shells were so fierce. However, although these warships failed to contact our warships, we delayed three salvo shooting opportunities for them. The Japanese warships took the opportunity to get close to us and started the second round of bombardment.

As soon as the Japanese cannon fired, Wang Chuang shouted: "Emergency avoidance. Pay attention to resist the impact."

The fleet moved instantly, but this time the distance was too close and it was not easy to dodge. The shells were as dense as raindrops. The battleship group commanded by Chuang Wang came under comprehensive fire, and many battleships were hit in an instant. King Chuang took advantage of the situation where the Tyrant shook for a while and then quickly stabilized. King Chuang knew that there was no time to prepare for a salvo. "Inform all ships to return fire nearby and launch freely."

"Each ship is free to return fire." The first mate conveyed the order to the communication machine, and the fleet immediately began irregular bombardment.

Because of the shelling on our side, the shelling on the Japanese side quickly became chaotic. Salvo fire is usually very powerful, but it must ensure the coordination of the entire fleet. If you insist on using salvo fire at such a close distance, then I am afraid that the only chance of salvo fire is when all the warships are sunk and there is only one left. The battleship itself has a chance to volley with itself.

The center of the sea. The Americans finally calmed down and began sporadic shelling. The Japanese shelled quickly and accurately, but the American artillery fire was in chaos. Fortunately, the numerical gap between the two sides was large, and the Americans would not be suppressed when they arrived.

The communication machine on my side suddenly sounded the voice of King Chuang. "Purple sun, nine o'clock direction."

I turned around and saw a fleet leaving the battle area. It seems there are quite a few. "Why did the Japanese fleet escape?"

"The Americans are responsible for that section. How do I know what they did? It seems that it is the main force of Japan. Please block it. I am stuck by the fleet here."

"Got it." I cut off the communication and called the first mate over. "Little Japan wants to imitate the gecko's tail-cutting. Order the Great White Shark escort fleet to turn around. Go after the main Japanese force that escaped." After thinking about it, I called the Great White Shark's command room again: "Rose, follow us, you guys Don't 'show' your head, just support us below with torpedoes and long-range beam cannons."

"clear."

Terry's fleet also squatted outside like me at first and did not enter the battle group. Now they saw the sudden turn of my escort fleet and immediately followed. My ship's communication machine suddenly rang. "Ziri, is that you?"

"Terry? How come you have my guild's communication machine?"

"Didn't you give it to me?"

"Shall I give you the land? I seem to be just using it to contact you. Didn't my people take it with me?"

"I told them that I needed to contact you at sea and asked them to leave the machine on my boat." Terry suddenly changed the subject: "What did you turn to do?"

"The main force of the Japanese wants to run."

"Why can't I see it?"

"Your position is just covered. You can see it if you move forward a little bit."

"Then I'll chase you."

"OK."

Terry is so smart. He knows that I never suffer, so he stays with me specifically, so that if I gain any benefits, he will definitely get some, but this time he may not get any benefits from following me. This escaped fleet has almost more than 400 warships. Although the number is less than a quarter of the total fleet, they are all elite large warships, and they seem to have towed a cargo ship, which is probably the most valuable thing. All on that ship.

The remaining Japanese warships stubbornly held the Americans and Chuang Wang's warships in place. The only ones that were chased out were the 130 or so battleships here, the underwater Great White Shark, and the 100 battleships from Terry's fleet. We may still be at a disadvantage based on the number of ships alone. But we have the Great White Shark underwater, which is worth at least a hundred ships. Therefore, in terms of actual combat effectiveness, we are slightly better than the Japanese.

Maybe today is destined to be a chaotic day. Ever since the Japanese were trapped in my trap, nothing has developed according to my plan. Originally, when the main force of Japan fled, King Chuang and I wanted me to entangle the fleet first, and then wait for King Chuang and the others to deal with the Japanese fleet over there, and then come back to help us encircle and kill the escaped Japanese elite fleet. But the actual situation is that King Chuang couldn't get out of it, and they themselves were entangled in the melee. Originally Terry's reinforcements could make up for this problem, but now the situation has changed again.

Now the Japanese fleet was running ahead, I was chasing behind with the Jaws and its escorts, and Terry was following us. The warships in our guild are very fast. The propulsion technology of Atlantis and the technology later learned from the Octopus Tribe and Great White Shark Tribe make our warships super fast. No warship from any country can outrun our warships. . The Japanese warships are also very fast, but they are no match for us. The speed difference makes us chase closer and closer, but the problem is that Terry's fleet behind them is not as fast as the Japanese fleet. I only remembered chasing the Japanese, but completely forgot that there was Terry behind me.

After chasing for several hours, the sky began to turn yellow, and we finally caught up with the Japanese fleet. The Japanese fleet knew that if they ran any further, they would be eliminated one by one from behind, so they simply turned around to attack us. I was happily preparing for a decisive battle with the Japanese when I suddenly discovered that we were the only ones left on the surrounding sea, and Terry's fleet had disappeared. Damn it, the Great White Shark can indeed fight one against a hundred, but I don’t intend to let it fight to the death! Besides, even if the Great White Shark is no longer needed, our combined strength is equivalent to the combat power of more than 200 battleships. Even if our warships are more powerful than the Japanese warships, we will never be able to defeat two hundred against four hundred.

I quickly said to the correspondent: "Contact the American fleet following us immediately." Terry also had a communication machine in his hand. As long as the distance was not far, it would not be a problem for us to delay for a while. Although we only have half the combat effectiveness of the Japanese, we can't be defeated by a fight.

My abacus was good, but it's a pity that God deliberately caused trouble for me. The correspondent answered simply: "The communication machine left in the American guild has no energy because it has been turned on for a long time."

No one in Terry's guild knows how to use a crystal communicator. That thing is the patent of our guild. According to my request, Shura Ziyi gave the communication machine to Terry and adjusted the frequency without leaving any technical personnel. Therefore, Terry and the others could communicate directly by facing the screen. They did not know that this thing should be adjusted to standby mode when not in use to save energy. , it’s fine now, but I couldn’t be contacted at the critical moment. I still don’t know if Terry and the others are chasing in the right direction. What if they go astray? Do you want us to just fight the Japanese? I worked so hard to design such a plan, but in the end I was surrounded by others!
