Power and Empire Chapter 3864: Cold current is coming (6)
Lofan Sea Area
The main force of the Imperial Navy that came in a surprise attack was like a pack of wolves swooping against the Aden naval squadron, and the Aden naval squadron hurriedly faced off. The Aden naval battleship raised frequent police posts, and white spots on the sea were clustered sideways. In a blink of an eye, white The brightness of the dots increases, and the range expands rapidly. Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked and thirsty.
"What is going on?"
The commander of the Eighth Squadron of the Aden Navy, Dan Sobyago, stood up from the command bridge and said to himself, "Why does the Imperial Navy appear in the offshore area?" The offshore area has always been the area that the navy chooses to avoid in principle. Because the offshore area is already an extension of the continental shelf, there are many reefs. For naval warships with a deep draft, the offshore area is regarded as a natural unwelcome area for the navy, so the Eighth Squadron chose to **** the Twelfth Army in Aden this time. The offshore is to avoid the possibility of encountering the imperial navy, and the sea is so vast that no matter how many warships are in the vast sea, they are just small dots on a huge plane. The imperial navy is powerful, and it can be used all the time. It is impossible to fully monitor the entire sea area, not to mention the offshore areas that the navy fleet will avoid
The main force of the Imperial Navy appeared at this moment, giving Sobya the illusion that he was waiting here for a long time ago. Although Sobyago was shaking in his heart, he still said to himself." It's impossible. It should be just a coincidence to encounter the main force of the Imperial Navy here." The adjutant next to him felt that what the Shangguan said was a bit inexplicable. The imperial navy is already in sight. It is still necessary to investigate why the imperial navy appears here?
"Rumble" came from the sound of Thunder's bombardment on the sea in the distance, accompanied by the fire soaring into the sky, shaking the entire sea area, and the dense shells of the Imperial battleships in a huge spindle queue have been across the sea, and countless black is dragged. The thick smoky Thor was bombarded like a rainstorm, hitting the bow of the eighth navy of Aden in succession, and it was blown upside down like a storm. The first impression it gave was that the sea was boiling! The sailor of Aden was completely blown by the blasting waves, and his heart was completely beaten by the sight in front of him. The imperial navy was shaped like a centipede-like wolf-toothed battleship. At this moment, it can be described as majestic, white smoke on the side of the ship. Diffuse, revealing a black muzzle,
500 meters, the imperial Thor’s accuracy is average, and few hit the target, but the momentum is amazing, and the Aden Navy sailors who have been scared are pale
When the flames flicker, there must be a large white dense smoke jetting out, and the thunderballs flying from one by one are the notes played under the fingers of the death god, forming densely packed Aden warships. The head bursts open, it feels like a ferocious wolves making a crazy mockery of a large group of sheep, a ferocious bite,
400 meters
"Slaance was shot and tilted!"
350 meters, the Imperial Navy began to turn the bow like a spindle, causing the Dragon Tooth warship to charge from the front of the ship to a slash. In this scene, the eyes of the sailors of Aden could not help but shrink, the Empire The navy’s battleship platooning is a well-known characteristic tactic throughout Obaro. Because the imperial navy’s battleships turn like a sharp razor, this tactic is also called by the navies of other kingdoms. It is the Empire Razor
"Attention, it's the Imperial Razor!" The sailors on the Aden naval battleship pulled the sails with all their strength to maximize the speed of the hull, hoping to deviate from the front of the huge razor
"Pay attention to the evasion of warships, the Imperial Navy is about to fire"
"The side deck of the Sassou was broken, request the rescue ship to be sent!"
"Rumble" platoons roared, the imperial navy’s intensive Thor artillery fire was like a chain of arquebus hinges, the ones that were hit, the ones that were wiped, were the first six warships of the Eighth Squadron in Aden, three. Immediately after being hit, an explosion occurred. The two side decks of the two ships were opened with huge gaps. The sea water went inside like a waterfall. There was also a ship that had only been seen to be uplifted. The bow of the ship had plunged into the sea. Where the battleship was hit, large pieces of sawdust seemed to have been shaved off raw. When the flying debris was stirred up like rain, the sails on the tall mast were completely blown up by a series of violent explosions, and the hull quickly slowed down. , Some sailors jumped into the sea from inside in full of fire, and then there was a huge explosion, and the flames rose into the sky
It was a fire-breathing warship of Aden. This warship was small in size and had a monster portrait capable of spraying oil and fire. Because it turned against the wind, the belly of the hull containing burning black oil was shot by Thor. The bomb was torn into pieces without mercy, and the hull of the oil-filled ship exploded violently in an instant, and the violent shock wave formed by the flame, like a hurricane, set off a wave of more than five meters high on the sea.
"Asshole!" The commander of the Eighth Squadron, Dan Sob Yage, squeezed his fingers, and his face became extremely distorted and terrifying. His Eighth Squadron had a total of 37 warships, four of them. The ships are still being repaired in Mas Bay, so the total number of warships of the Aden Navy participating in the **** this time is 33. In the blink of an eye, four or five warships were sunk. Who can withstand this loss?
Flagship sails are fully open, greet us!
Dan Sobu Yago has a firm face, and has given decisive orders. The flagship Dragon Eagle of the Eighth Squadron is the newest navy heavy armored ship in Aden that was launched in August. Its tonnage and protection are better than other Aden navies. The battleship is not a little stronger. With all the sails fully opened, the heavy and huge Dragonhawk-class battleship is like an angry behemoth, emerging from the fleet of the Eighth Naval Squadron in Aden, taking the lead. The imperial navy warships on the opposite side, at this time, there is no room for escape. No strategy and tactics can compare with the incentives brought by one's own flagship.
The heavy bow of the Dragonhawk battleship is like a huge razor breaking through the raging water in front of it,
"Boom" A scattered spray of water, a few Thor bullets exploded at the front end of the dragon eagle, the dragon eagle that came out quickly attracted the intensive firepower of the imperial navy, the smoke billowed, and the white waves were like a dragon. Just like dumplings under the eagle heavy iron-clad ship, the fire exploded densely around it, like spores that suddenly bloomed in the sea exploded around it, the water column soared, and the white waves continued to move forward with the bow of the ship. When the gunpowder dissipated, the Aden Navy Qi Qi made cheers, and the iron plate outsourcing of the Dragonhawk-class battleship was torn open one by one, revealing the solid hull behind the iron plate. Although it is broken, it obviously only damaged the surface and did not penetrate the side deck of the Dragonhawk-class ship. !
For the Eighth Squadron of Aden, this is simply a hope in despair. The huge gap in firepower and quantity between the two sides makes it impossible to reverse the situation. The entire Eighth Navy Fleet hopes now. Death can delay the imperial navy's time and buy time for the transport ship to escape from this culling. This is an offshore area, not very far from the coastline. The transport fleet full of more than 20,000 people from the Twelfth Army of Aden escaped. The possibility is very high. Of course, the premise of all this is that the Imperial Navy does not know that the transport fleet behind is full of more than 20,000 brave and fighting Imperial soldiers
"We also move forward, we follow the flagship!"
The scorched Aden Navy could not help but let out a violent cheer. The queue that had been chaotic just now seemed to have found its center of gravity. Whether it was shot or missed, it began to head toward the imperial navy. More than 30 warships of the Aden navy are like cavalry drawn towards the front, and it is almost impossible to see the number of the main forces of the Imperial Navy launching a charge. At a distance of 300 meters, a whole row of stone slings began to rise above the Aden warship. Some were solid stone bullets, and some were fireballs with billowing flames. The fire light flew through the air with a crackling sound and fell, rumbling, fireballs and boulders slammed on the sea where the imperial battleship was, and set off on the sea. The Imperial Dragon Tooth battleship swayed up and down beside a wave of water
This is the kind of the latest heavy ironclad ship that Aden people spend countless money and materials to build!
The commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, Du Stellenkai, stood on the bridge in an elevated posture, looking with a bit of scrutiny, as if the Aden Navy suddenly went crazy after a bite. This is the comparison with the Imperial Navy. The Yanan Sea Squadron has fought fiercely for more than half a year and still firmly controls the strength of the Aden Navy in the southern waters of Central and Biya
The quality of the maritime hegemony of the Aden Navy for decades is also reflected at this moment. The sail fast battleship that was hiding behind the heavy battleship began to accelerate, and all the sails were pulled up high. A series of sails were like It was like a candied haws that was completely opened. The speed that was originally equal to that of the fleet broke open at once, and spread out from the side of the main battleship. A high fighting will is a necessary factor for victory. Everyone understands this truth, but Being able to face the desperate situation and still erupt with such terrible combat effectiveness, it is not just a matter of morale, this is the confidence that the Aden Navy has accumulated in the southern waters for decades
For the glory of the navy, the navy regards death as home!
The shape of the front end of the warship of the Aden Navy is the kind of slightly upward sharp razor shape. When the entire fleet is madly advancing in an unstoppable triangular formation, even Dusternkie can feel the opponent's unrelenting courage, especially The opponent’s huge flagship is just like a blade out of the sheath
had to admit that, in addition to the difference in firepower, in terms of tonnage and defensive power, this heavy battleship is definitely comparable to the Imperial Navy’s main Dragon-class battleship, and this time the Imperial Navy is passing through Errone. Although it can drive the Longya Express, it cannot drive the huge Dragon-class hull. Therefore, the Imperial Navy warships that entered the waters of Aden this time are all Longya-class medium and light warships.
This is the biggest weakness of the Imperial Navy’s battle, because the Imperial Navy’s Thor cannons need to be fired in advance. The horizontal line of the hull provides sufficient firepower, but it also equals to the weakest hull. The side is exposed to the firepower of the Aden Navy. Once the Aden Navy launches a charge with a considerable number of heavy iron-clad ships, the Imperial Navy's fleet will fall into a huge passive, and may even be dissipated, cut open, and broken.
The young adjutant standing next to Dustlenko said with some emotion, "My lord, I didn't expect the Aden Navy to have such a high morale under the raid!"
Du Stellenkai took a deep breath, and Leng Shui said, “According to intelligence, the Aden naval squadron that guards the troop transport fleet mainly operates in the southern waters of Central Biya. From the combat literacy of this Aden naval fleet From the above, it can be seen that the Aden Navy can dominate the southern seas and the Central Bahia waters by no means of luck. It is brave, coordinated, and courageous to sacrifice. The Aden Navy is absolutely qualified as the hegemon of one side of the sea, just like it is in front of us. As long as the navy turns and flees into the offshore area, we may not be able to catch up, but they are now willing to attack with absolutely inferior forces. What do you think is the reason?"
"It should be to cover the transport ships behind!" the adjutant said hesitatingly
"Do you know why your Majesty finally set his goal at Mas Crescent Bay, which is thousands of miles away?" Dusterenkai asked
"In order to make the Aden navy exhausted, long-distance voyages have a certain weakening effect on the naval power. Our army waits for work in Mas Crescent Bay?" The adjutant looked nervous and replied like a textbook. In fact, he didn't know. Why did the fleet go to Mas Crescent Bay? Mas Crescent Bay is the top priority of the Aden Navy in the sea area of Central and Bahia. Since the last raid by the Imperial Navy, the Adenites have spent a lot of money in Mas Crescent Bay. Four defensive turrets were built to completely eliminate the possibility of another sneak attack by the Imperial Navy
"You said something, but this is not enough to be used as a bargaining chip to decide this decisive battle in the sea"
Dusit Lunkai withdrew his eyes from a distance~ IndoMTL.com~ did not continue, since His Majesty the emperor took the Mas Xingyue Bay as the final battle point, naturally he will not just drag Aden with long-distance voyages. The main force of the navy is so simple. The real reason is that, apart from the emperor, only Dusterunkai knows that the Aden heavy iron armored ship in front of you is indeed strong in defense, but it is also heavy enough, and there is only one, more than thousands of Thor. Even if it’s all made of steel, it will be blown into a ball of scrap iron. On the contrary, these extremely fast sailing clippers, if they use the space attracted by the firepower to plug in, it will pose a threat to the Imperial Navy. /
Battle at sea, in fact, is no different from fighting for advantageous terrain on land
is still fighting the number of both sides, firepower, courage and courage, confrontation of power, wisdom, and strategy. After understanding the reality of the opponent’s naval power, the main navy will start a decisive battle with firepower. As long as one side is in disorder, in addition One side will chase endlessly like a pack of wolves until the opponent’s battleship is torn into pieces of wood on the sea
And this time the Aden Navy’s latest heavy iron armored ship, the Empire’s chances are completely unknown. At the beginning, several ships were captured, but they were just ordinary warships with heavy tonnage. I didn’t know that this made the Aden Navy have the confidence to be the same as the Imperial Navy. The strength of the battle is the special reminder of the Red Dragon Palace in Aden. Only then did the Imperial Navy know the existence of this heavy ironclad ship
Because of the heavy ironclad ship, the emperor revised the plan to attack the Gulf of Aden. The abnormality of the heavy ironclad Aden in front of him also proved the correctness of the emperor’s change of the plan. If you don’t know it anymore, the main force of the Imperial Navy will be mighty. Smashing into the waters of the Aden King Capital, I'm afraid it will be a **** battle!
