Chapter 5 Layout
The 'harassment' has been going on all the time, and the Japanese people hate it deeply. They really wanted to retaliate against this fleet in the fog, but no warship could touch the sides of these ghost ships in the dense fog. What makes the rb people even more angry is that the ghosts actually have no problems with supplies and intervals. They can attack various places 24 hours a day, but RB players are completely unable to compete with them because players always have to sleep.
If such a situation had occurred in the past few months, the Americans would have definitely intervened, but last time the RB camouflaged fleet pretended to be Chinese warships and frequently harassed the coast of the United States. Now, as long as the American guilds with ships are eager to go to RB again How can you help when someone is stepping on someone's head?
Americans act by inaction, when our actions are non-existent, and there is no response at all. The fleets of country H and our country began to harass the coastal areas of rb from time to time, and the rb people were helpless about this. Last time, China and the United States jointly defeated Japan's strongest fleet. Now the maritime hegemony is completely controlled by us. Japan's fleet can only play a defensive role, and there is no hope of a decisive battle. Besides, we still have many allies here.
But when it comes to allies, it’s not true that there is no one to help them. Surprisingly, the first country to help them was Vietnam. It was noon on Thursday when we found out. A Vietnamese fleet inexplicably raided a transport fleet departing from Essinger. This fleet was responsible for transporting supplies to Mist City, and was attacked as soon as it entered the high seas. However, the Vietnamese fleet was indeed a failure. A main fleet attacked a transport fleet and actually achieved a score of 3 to 5, and even let our transport team run away. The Vietnamese fleet lost one destroyer and two frigates, and our transport group lost five medium transport ships.
The guilds that cooperated with our guild all laughed when they heard the news. They didn't quite understand why a main fleet could lose three ships when fighting a transport team. Those guilds with ships are very curious about how my fleet escaped. They also wanted to learn how to make a group of sheep escape from the wolves and kill a few wolves.
I showed them the video of the battle, and they all understood. Everyone knows that Steel Claw, one of the guardian beasts of the guild, is amphibious, and its combat effectiveness in water is even better than on land. In previous naval battles, we used steel claws to serve as commandos, asking them to dive underwater with explosives, stick the bombs directly on the bottom of the opponent's warship, and then detonate them remotely. Although our fleet this time is all transport ships, most of the materials transported are bombs. The players on board the ship naturally thought of the assault function of the steel claw, so they blew up the first few Vietnamese warships to disrupt the opponent's position. Our transport ship took the opportunity to escape. Of the only five losses, three were caused by the initial raid and two were hit by the opponent while escaping. Overall, the losses were not significant. But this incident was quite infuriating, as he was stabbed in the back. If it weren't for being busy now, I would definitely take the entire fleet back to find a place, and I would have to beat their fleet so hard that they dare not leave the harbor.
Compared with the Vietnamese, there is another force that suddenly joined the group, which is very strange. This force is a guild belonging to Russia. The name is very long and we can’t remember it clearly. Only one guild in Russia responded to this incident, and their response was to join the RB team to fight against us.
The sudden entry of the Russians caught us off guard. They started participating in the war on Thursday night and killed more than 300 warships in three fleets of the H country that night. Early on Friday morning, the fleet suddenly appeared off the coast of Tianmen Island. We snatched Tianmen Island from the Japanese people, so the Japanese people know the location. This time the Russian fleet appeared so accurately and suddenly, no need to think about it to know that it was the news given by Japanese people.
At around eight o'clock on Friday morning, the fleet began to enter the Tianmen Island warning range. Our guild made a last-ditch effort and sent a giant dragon to carry the players over to warn them of invading our guild's territorial waters. Ask them to turn. As a result, the other party didn't answer anything and directly fired cannonballs at our envoy dragon. Fortunately, the dragon was not a plane. It rolled and rolled in the sky, dodged all the cannonballs, and then ran back high.
Since the other party clearly wants to fight, we will naturally not be polite. This Russian guild is quite large, with more than 3,000 warships. All the warships in our guild have gone out and are not here at all. Moreover, the last time we fought with the rb camouflage fleet, both sides suffered losses, and now their strength has not been fully restored. The reason why we were able to suppress the rb fleet was because the opponent was more seriously injured than us. It's not that our fleet is really huge. I guess the Vietnamese dared to help the Japanese because they took a fancy to the fact that our guild had insufficient warships.
The Russian fleet's combat effectiveness is very strong, and its numbers are large, so its strength is really good. In particular, the armor of Russian warships is extremely thick, and small-caliber artillery is completely ineffective against them. However, the Russians still suffered a big loss this time, because the company did not just have cannons. There are 450,000 snow eagles stationed on Tianmen Island as a guard force. These snow eagles are not high in level, but they are very large. When a group of snow eagles appeared over the Russian fleet, covering up the sky and avoiding the sun, the other side did not understand what was going on. Then they saw many small black dots falling down. Some players actually think the black spots are bird poop. But when the first "bird poop" landed on the front deck of a battleship and suddenly smashed the entire bow into the water, they realized that it was a bomb.
"Air strike!" Only then did the Russian player realize what went wrong. Before their warship entered the firing range, they were greeted by a hail of bullets from our guild's super-large-caliber fortress cannon. Just as the bombardment stopped, the bombs arrived again. What makes them even more depressed is that so far they have not entered the range of their own artillery. Completely passive beating.
The 3,000 kilogram bombs carried by Snow Eagle are specially prepared for battleships of over 100,000 tons. As long as one hits, no matter whether you are a battleship or an aircraft carrier, you will all be launched into the water and used as a submarine. The brave Russian fleet worked hard and finally reached the firing range of its own warships, but at this time they only had one-third of their warships left. However, the bombardment of these thousand warships was still very powerful. The ground buildings and port on Tianmen Island were immediately damaged. Many buildings were destroyed, and the docks burned with raging fires. Fortunately, we had early warning, and the shells and other flammable and explosive items were transported to underground warehouses. The harbor was full of insignificant things.
The firepower of both sides tilted towards each other. The Russian warships were very fierce. Unfortunately, the suppression of the fortress by the warships relied on numerical superiority. They had a numerical advantage at first, but unfortunately they lost it after two-thirds were killed. The number of artillery on Tianmen Island is not large, and it mainly relies on Snow Eagle's bombing for defense. But it is an island after all. No matter how many artillery shells are fired, it will just make some big craters, and the island will not sink to the ground. But no matter how strong the Russian warships are, they are still warships. If you hit too many bombs, they will sink.
The battle ended in just over half an hour. The Tianmen Island base turned into ruins, and the Russian fleet was completely wiped out, not a single one of them escaped. Although the damage to Tianmen Island was serious, it did not damage its fundamentals. The supplies were still in the underground warehouse. Although all the forts were destroyed, Tianmen Island was not defended by artillery. Snow Eagle, the main battle force, was still alive and well. Let's talk about losses. The most serious loss was the destruction of the port. It will take some time to clear the port, and within three days Tianmen Island will lose its role as a frontline supply base. This is most likely what the Japanese meant by inciting the Russian fleet to attack Tianmen Island. They know that Tianmen Island is a frontline base, and destroying it is equivalent to destroying our supply lines. This is the real reason for their attack on Tianmen Island. As for why the Russians are willing to make such a big sacrifice, I don't know. Maybe the Russians guarantee compensation for all war losses. Maybe there is something else that makes them so brave.
In any case, Tianmen Island has been completely paralyzed, and there is no hope for it in the short term. The Essinger fleet now has to travel between Essinger and rb in order to supply supplies, but fortunately the war is not far away, so there is no need to worry too much about this kind of thing.
Friday afternoon. rb local area is quite quiet. Tianmen Island was destroyed, all Chinese warships returned to Essinger for supplies, and there was no harassment force along the coast of Japan. The Mist Fleet did not need supplies, but their mission had been completed. Continuing to participate in the war now would only disrupt the plan, so they were also transferred. The leaders of the Black Dragon Society believed in the judgments of Masa Matsumoto and Shota Tanaka. They always believed that the plan obtained from Country H was true and reliable, which meant that they believed that the war would happen tomorrow morning. That means starting on Saturday morning. For the war in the next few days, RB players need to take a good rest to replenish their physical strength, so the number of people online at this time is surprisingly small, and most of them are sleeping in preparation for staying up late tomorrow.
On such a quiet afternoon, Fujiang City, located on the Wudao Islands in Japan, was in the abnormal tranquility before the storm like other cities in Japan. At about one o'clock in the afternoon, it was still sunny over Fujiang, with only a few clouds and good visibility in the sky. Several rb players were sitting on the beach chatting. They are left-behind defense personnel. Although the Black Dragon Club believes that the war will not start until tomorrow. But they didn't dare to really evacuate all the people, they still had to have basic sentry posts.
One of these players suddenly noticed a strange-shaped cloud in the distant sky. Generally speaking, the clouds will not be too big in such clear weather. But this huge cloud was pitch black, and its area was very huge. The player noticed this huge dark cloud even though they were still far away.
The companion next to him noticed that he was looking at the sky and turned his head to look. "What a big rain cloud! It looks like it's going to rain heavily tonight."
Another rb player said: "It would be better to lower it a little bigger, soak the ground into mud, and see how those Chinese pigs land."
The player who was originally suspicious of Yun Tuan was distracted by his companion's words and did not think about it in detail. After all, rb is close to the sea, and cloud formation and change are much faster than those in inland areas of China. Basically, wind is rain. It is normal for such a large cloud to appear.
Several guards quickly lost interest in the clouds and chatted about other things, and the clouds above them finally approached their heads around two o'clock in the afternoon. In fact, when they first saw the cloud, it was still far away from them, so it took them more than an hour to get close to them. Only then did they realize that the cloud was really big, and a large area was covered in its black shadow. The player who said that rain could reverse the landing happily said that this time it was God blessing rb, and the rain came before the battle to stop the Chinese from seizing the beach.
The clouds gradually began to approach the sky above Fujiang, and the edges of the clouds were rolling abnormally, but no one paid attention to him. After all, clouds appeared so often that no one was too lazy to study them. As the clouds approached, the huge black shadow gradually left the sea and covered the island's beach, and quickly approached the city. Crabs and some small creatures on the beach reacted quickly and fled into the sea water, but this did not attract anyone's attention. But soon, a larger-scale incident finally attracted everyone's attention. Unfortunately, the rb people did not take this matter seriously, and as a result, the last chance to stop us was wasted.
After all the creatures on the beach ran away, the black shadow formed by the dark clouds approached the city. The special situation discovered by the players in the city was that the rats and small animals in the city reacted abnormally. "Zero" is very realistic. There are things like cockroaches and rats in cities, and Fukue City is no exception. rb players soon noticed that the rats in the city began to flee collectively in the opposite direction of the dark clouds. What was even more terrifying was that when they ran to the beach and found that there was no way to go, they actually rushed into the sea collectively. Although mice can swim, this is the ocean, and the problem cannot be solved by just being able to swim. A large number of rats splashed in the sea water, and finally they all drowned. In addition to rats, a large number of insects and other creatures had the same reaction. Most of the creatures showed a restless state, and even some low-level combat creatures began to react abnormally. The horses in the city station kept neighing and circling in the fence, as if they wanted to leave here. All the pigeons and other small birds that were released refused to take off, and they all landed on the ground and did not dare to move.
When abnormal situations occurred to the animals, the dark clouds were still some distance away from the city, so Japanese people did not connect these situations with the dark clouds. But as the dark clouds got closer, something new happened in the city.
