Alien Arms Empire

  Chapter 1092 1093 Bullying the small with the big

On the other side, the naval soldiers of the Tang Army witnessed the changes of the times with their own eyes. They fought fiercely all night with almost no contact with the enemy. They launched dozens of Styx anti-ship missiles, but they did not even look like the enemy. Saw it.

It was not until daybreak that some of them saw the appearance of the enemy fleet: frankly speaking, he felt sad for these enemies.

These enemies spent a whole night recklessly at sea. They were beaten by anti-ship missiles and turned upside down in thick smoke, but they didn't even see the shadow of the Tang fleet.

 The outcome of the battle is no longer determined by the caliber of the artillery on the battleship. Killing the enemy only requires pressing a button in front of the console.

 The era of missiles is coming! Whether others accept it or not, the era of missiles has arrived!

"Look at these mirage warships... Sometimes I even sympathize with our opponents. They are doomed to fail." Seeing the main fleet of the mirage navy sinking one after another in the distance, the people on the East Bay No. 1 battleship The staff officer sighed.

For the Tang Empire's navy, war has always been elegant. As the captain of the main battleship of the Datang Empire's navy, usually he is just a bystander admiring the destruction of the enemy fleet.

 The senior leaders of the navy are accustomed to sitting in their seats, drinking hot tea like a noble, waiting for news of victory.

There is no way. The navy is a high-tech branch. The technology of the Tang Empire is ahead of other countries, so the combat effectiveness of the navy is superior to other countries.

That kind of **** fighting belongs to the army. The navy has always pursued elegance and calmness. They play with the enemy in the palm of their hands and watch the enemy go into the abyss with ease.

"You are too merciful. The more we fight like a massacre, the less our own soldiers will sacrifice. Do you know what I like most about what our Majesty said?" The captain glanced at the mirage billowing with smoke in the distance. The Chinese fleet asked disdainfully.

Hearing the word "Your Majesty," the staff officer subconsciously straightened his body a bit, held his head high and asked, "Excuse me...which sentence did your Majesty say?"

"Your Majesty, our army of the Tang Empire cannot be liked by people all over the world, so we just need to be liked by the people of the Tang Dynasty. As long as we can be loved by the people of the Tang Dynasty, even if the rest of the people hate us, that's fine." The captain smiled and answered the staff officer's question.

"This is what His Majesty said at the military meeting held two years ago..." The staff officer was very familiar with the admonishment Tang Mo said. He even remembered clearly when Tang Mo said it.

The captain smiled and nodded, agreeing with the staff officer's statement: "So, don't think so much, let's kill people and set fires, just to make the Tang people drink and eat meat!"

"Let everyone in the world hate us, as long as the Tang people love us." He stood in front of the porthole and looked at the Dongwan No. 2 battleship that had completed its turn. The enemy's main fleet was in a state of embarrassment: "We are the army of the Tang Dynasty! Others regard us as ghosts, so count us... Let's do this right."

The cruisers and destroyers of the Mirage felt that their courage could be recorded in history: they rushed to the Tang landing site desperately, and were about to complete the task that even the main fleet could not complete.

The only things standing in front of them were destroyers with a displacement of several thousand tons. In the eyes of the cruise captains of the Mirage Kingdom, such opponents were really too weak.

 In fact, this fleet is indeed weak: most of the destroyers that come here to form the last line of defense are old destroyers.

They did not have the ability to participate in the previous missile attack mission, so they could only take advantage of the darkness to launch all the torpedoes they carried at the main fleet of the Mirage.

 These destroyers now have all their torpedoes and are not equipped with missiles. Their combat effectiveness is indeed limited. Compared with the large-tonnage cruisers of the Mirage, they are so small that it makes people feel pitiful.

　　The commanders of the Mirage cruiser, who had been angry for the night, were already excited: they could immediately defeat the Tang State's destroyer fleet, then rush to the landing site and complete a classic counterattack.

The current situation is that they are bullying the small with the big: among the remaining cruisers of the Mirage, the largest one has a tonnage of nearly 10,000 tons, which is not a bit larger than the destroyers of the Tang.

Not to mention, following these cruisers, there are a bunch of mirage destroyers! Their artillery, both in quantity and caliber, is much more numerous and larger than that of the Tang destroyers, which emphasize air defense and anti-submarine warfare and do not pay much attention to anti-ship warfare.

 “Just bully your ship for being small! How about it? Hehehehe!” The commander of the Mirage cruiser who had been frustrated all night said with a sneer.

The people around them were also in a good mood. They felt that they had a sure victory: even though there were many Tang Army planes wreaking havoc above their heads, it was indeed more difficult for these planes to attack destroyers and cruisers than it was to attack battleships.

  After all, relatively speaking, cruisers and destroyers are faster and can avoid aircraft attacks more quickly.

“Who told you that we are all just small boats?” The Mirage commander on another cruiser’s eyes were full of hatred: “Fire! Sink all these little toys blocking the road!”

“It’s time for us to win!” In the bridge of the cruiser at the rear, the captain of Mirage, who had just watched the Serpent and Snow Mountain being sunk, also gritted his teeth and said.

They plan to avenge the sinking of the Mirage warships one after another, and avenge the dead Mirage goblins!

At the same time, Tang's destroyer fleet lined up in a row and aimed all its guns at its opponents. They had no intention of taking a step back, because not far behind was the landing area where the Tang State's transport fleet was located.

Frankly speaking, if enemy warships are allowed to rush into these formations of civilian ships that do not even have naval guns, it is really equivalent to letting a bad wolf into the sheepfold.

Putting down the telescope in his hand, the captain of the destroyer of the Tang Kingdom loudly ordered: "Let these **** of the Mirage Kingdom have a taste of our power! They really treat us as weak persimmons!"

 “Fire!” the weapons officer immediately ordered loudly.

“Fire!” The gunners at each gun position also roared, and all the main guns on the destroyer that were pointed at the enemy spewed out tongues of flame almost at the same time.

“Boom!” A volley was deafening, and then the brass-colored bullet casing was ejected and fell onto the blanket laid on the deck, still making a dull sound.

On those newly built destroyers, the automatic loaders began to reload. Because the caliber of the artillery was relatively small, the rate of fire of these main guns was very high.

After the first salvo was fired, only a few seconds passed before half of the Tang Army's destroyers fired another salvo.

 With the blessing of fire control radar, these Tang Army destroyers, which looked weak and indifferent, were like a gust of wind and rain when they opened fire. They instantly stunned the oncoming Mirage cruisers and destroyers with a dense barrage.

The commanders of the Mirage Navy have seen some rapid-fire cannons, but they have never seen such a terrifying rapid-fire cannon: when they fired one round of shelling, the opponent had already fired three or even five rounds of shelling!

The cruisers with certain armor protection were fine, but they were beaten badly by the incoming shells and were a little unable to withstand them. However, the Mirage destroyers following these cruisers had a hard time.

They themselves don’t have much armor protection. Facing the rapid-fire main guns of the Tang Army’s destroyers, they really have no power to fight back at all.

The shells that hit the head like hailstones instantly smashed several mirage destroyers into sieves.

Those captains of the Mirage Kingdom who originally wanted to pick on the weaklings could not tell at this moment which one was more pitiful, between themselves and the main fleet that was being slaughtered by Tang Kingdom's carrier-based aircraft in the distance.

Fortunately, the Mirage's cruisers relied on their relatively thicker armor and larger-caliber guns to compete with the soft persimmons in their eyes.

Because the distance between the two sides was already very close, the Mirage cruiser, which was extremely lucky, hit a Tang destroyer after several rounds of salvo fire.

But at this moment, on the bridge of the southernmost Mirage cruiser, the goblin captain picked up his telescope and looked in the direction pointed by his adjutant's finger. He was so frightened that he almost fell down. on the ground.

In the eyepiece of the telescope, he saw two huge battleships, leading a dozen cruisers, menacingly heading towards his direction.

“That, that’s a battleship from the Tang Kingdom!” As soon as he reacted, the goblin captain shouted in fear: “Them! They are so unreasonable!”

Just now he was clamoring to use his cruisers to crush Tang's destroyers, and now he is complaining that Tang is bullying the small.

Soon, more and more captains of the Mirage Kingdom discovered the main fleet of the Tang Kingdom coming from the other side of the battlefield.

They didn't even penetrate the Tang destroyer fleet in front of them, let alone say that they could engage in a head-on battle with the Tang battleship fleet.

But they really don’t understand why the Tang Kingdom’s main fleet had the courage to put down their Mirage Kingdom’s main fleet, but instead fled the main battlefield and went to the secondary battlefield to make trouble!

The captains of these mirage cruisers and destroyers didn't know yet that six battleships in their fleet had been sunk.

 To deal with these warships whose air defense energy has been almost exhausted by missiles, in the opinion of the senior officials of the Tang Navy, carrier-based aircraft are enough.

Anyway, Bernard has at least about 40 minutes to destroy the remaining Mirage main fleet before Mirage Feng approaches the beach.

From Mirage Haifeng's point of view, no matter how optimistic he is, he does not think that his fleet can continue to sustain it for another half hour under the siege of so many enemy planes.

He felt that he might not be able to hold on for ten minutes.
