Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 1679 1680 is enough

The missile flying from a distance directly hit the bridge of the battleship. The huge explosion engulfed the steel welded tower, causing the tens of thousands of tons of sea monsters to make a creaking sound of twisted steel.

On the turret pointing to the side, the huge cannon that had just been fired was being loaded. The anti-aircraft guns densely packed on the sides were like decorations, showing no reaction to the incoming missiles.

Although this battleship was just launched a few years ago, its technology is still too old: for a battleship, its technology is very advanced, but for modern naval warfare, its performance is too backward.

The anti-aircraft gun group, which is numerous but ineffective, cannot intercept the incoming anti-ship missiles at all. Those gun barrels pointing to the sky like a jungle can only embolden the sailors on the battleship.

 The fact that a battleship can be named after the empire is enough to prove how much hope it has been given. But it is indeed too old, so old that it can no longer see the future.

"Captain...an anti-aircraft gun magazine on the side has exploded...the fire has been out of control and the speed will soon be affected." The adjutant came over and brought some bad news.

The missile hit the middle of the battleship as it turned, hitting the anti-aircraft gun position vertically, and disabled several anti-aircraft guns.

The explosion caused the shells accumulated in these anti-aircraft gun positions to explode. Now the side of the battleship is on fire, and the fire is quite serious.

“Let the damage control personnel do their best to rescue, we are already close to the enemy...” The captain still looked at the rough sea, without looking back, he just said this.

 “Yes! Captain.” The adjutant took the order and left.

“After the turn is completed, the two turrets at the back will fire immediately! It’s still the same coordinates as before!” After the captain issued a new order, he raised the telescope, as if he wanted to see the enemy on the other side of the sea.

Unfortunately, the distance between them is still more than 20 kilometers, and he can't see the Tang Army's destroyer at all - the current sea conditions are not very good. Even if the distance between the two sides is closer, he actually has no way to see the target with the naked eye.

 This newly built battleship was equipped with a new type of radar, which roughly detected the position of the enemy ship before being jammed by electronics.

 So he carried out shelling on the possible locations of the enemy ships based on his experience. He didn't know whether he hit or not, but he could only rely on these limited parameters to continue the attack.

 What else should we do? He could only rely on weather cover to even get into range, and he was very lucky to have the chance to fire.

 The fleet, which was much more powerful than his, was completely wiped out under good weather conditions without even being able to figure out where the enemy was. Several aircraft carriers and hundreds of aircraft couldn't even launch a decent attack.

 The fact is so cruel. Now that he has a chance to fire, it is considered a very fair duel. So he has no right to complain, and he is not here to complain.

 When he carried out this mission, he knew that both himself and the battleship he commanded were certain to die. He had the courage to take orders and come here, but he was actually ready to die.

 Since you dare to die, there is nothing to be afraid of. He wants to exert as much effect as possible here to intercept the enemy's fleet or paralyze Rewind Port.

Meeting this huge fleet was just an accident. In fact, his fixed goal for this trip was the Rewind Port, which was already within easy reach. He wanted to bombard it there to cause maximum damage so that the Tang army would not be able to use the port in a short period of time and buy precious time for the surrounding friendly forces.

Ten thousand steps back, he also wanted to prove the existence of the Elf Navy as much as possible so that the Tang fleet would not dare to easily go south to threaten the Osa military port, which actually had no defensive power.

 Anyway, he had to do something...

Just as he dragged the injured battleship, he staggered and turned, aiming his bow at the Rewind Port dozens of kilometers away. And all the guns on this battleship are pointed in the direction where the enemy fleet may exist.

"Boom!" The 380-caliber cannon roared in despair, and the smoke-belching warship was making its final struggle. This is the farewell from the old era to the new era, full of unwillingness and the loneliness of being destined to retire.

The shells fired earlier landed about 7 kilometers away from the Tang Army destroyer. Now these shells happened to land about 5 kilometers away... It seemed to be getting closer, but nothing seemed to have changed.

The two escorting destroyers of the Tang Army did not continue to sail along the original route. They made a 180-degree turn and aimed the anti-ship missiles on the other side at the incoming target.

 After turning, the shells that fell down were far behind them. The towering water column was getting further and further away, looking like a joke.

 Fine rain began to fall from the sky, and it didn't even leave a trace on the clothes. But the rain finally came, accompanied by surging waves and an unfair duel.

After firing a few more shells, an anti-ship missile directly hit the No. 3 turret on the battleship. It was unknown what ignited, and thick smoke billowed into the sky.

The speed of this still brand-new battleship has slowed down. It can no longer sprint at a speed of 50 kilometers. Now it is like a dying old man, plodding forward towards a distant goal.

Those places that seemed close at hand in the past now seem to be far away in the horizon. The elf captain standing on the bridge has a dull expression, as if waiting for his last moment to arrive.

"There are still 35 kilometers to Rewind Port...Sir." When the adjutant reported the news to him, the battleship under his feet suddenly trembled. Everyone subconsciously stretched out their hands to hold on to the wall beside them, and then a deafening sound penetrated their ears.

I don’t know what caused the explosion. The situation of the battleship is already very bad. The middle part of the hull is burning, and the tail part has been submerged in a thick black smoke.

“Can’t you hold on anymore...” The captain of the battleship Yangmu showed a wry smile. It cannot be said that he was unlucky, but in fact he did have a little bit of bad luck.

If...if they hadn't encountered this transport fleet, they might really have a chance to get close to Rewind Port and use artillery to prove the value of their existence.

"Keep firing! Let the No. 1 and 2 turrets adjust their pointing... Aim at the Rewind Port! Fire as soon as you get the chance..." Staring at the sea in the distance, the captain of the battleship Yangmu decided to make a final struggle.

Even if only one shell falls into Rewind Port, it is enough.
