Realm of Power

"Boom!"

Countless white smoke enveloped the foggy sea, like huge white smoke bombs exploding on the sea level. The Chekhov squadron's hundreds of Thors suddenly burst out in salvos, setting off a wave of lightning on the sea. The huge boiling water column "popped" and the light battleship serving as the vanguard at the forefront of the enemy fleet was immediately turned into a hornet's nest by countless roaring shells.

In an instant, a ball of fire exploded about 500 meters in front of the Falcon Navy. The Dragon Tooth Battleship, with full firepower, opened fire in sequence. A series of thunder bullets and fierce flames illuminated the entire sea,

In the thick fog at sea where it is almost impossible to see a thousand meters away, the spray of sparks is even more eye-catching than the sunshine at noon, especially the Dragon-class battleship with the most powerful firepower.

, the deck flew into the air with the explosion, and the battleship's mast broke into several pieces in mid-air, and then directly crushed the dilapidated battleship below. There were rising water columns everywhere, as if the entire sea was boiling, continuing Continuously more violent explosions The explosion sound was like a row of huge fireballs covering the front of the fleet, causing the sea water to surge. Almost 8 heavy local warships were directly blown into the air, and then exploded in mid-air, fragments of wooden planks and North Saha All human corpses The falling body pours into the dark red sea water.

But for a huge fleet with more than 250 ships, this little loss is just a scratch. The number of battleships is increasing, and they are densely covering the entire sea. Because the forward battleship is attacked, the entire fleet is temporarily stop,

News of the attack on the fleet quickly reached the command room of the Congolese flagship in the rear fleet.

The encounter that was completely unexpected by both sides made Chekov on the Falcon Navy feel suddenly, and also made the Marquis of Langiamu, the commander of the Congo Navy who was reviewing the sea chart. He raised his head curiously, his blond and handsome hair, and the cold and straight facial curves all showed that he was a man with a strong character. In the Gang African Navy, the Marquis of Longiamou was known as the most outstanding genius in the navy in the past thirty years. Commander, he entered the Congolese Naval Academy at the age of eleven and entered the Congolese Navy as the top scorer at the age of fifteen. He went from being the captain of a small warship to the commander of the main fleet commanding thirty-seven large warships. The Marquis of Longiamme only spent eleven years, except for the posthumous

He looked at the communications officer who came to report the situation and stammered and gestured, and finally described the situation, "Sir, the forward fleet is asking for instructions if it needs to retreat! After all, the situation is unclear now, and the forward fleet thinks it is too If you get too close, you might fall into an ambush!" the communications officer said cautiously!

"Retreat? Are you kidding me?" Longiamu snorted angrily. He did not expect to encounter the Falcon Navy here. In addition to lamenting the enemy's audacity, he was also emotionally and intellectually unable to accept the fact that the forward fleet was thinking of escaping as soon as it made contact.

When, the mighty Gang Fei Navy. We have reached the point of being blocked by a small fleet!

"This is the offshore area of ​​​​Gangfei, and the route this time is so secretive... We can rule out the possibility that the other party ambushed deliberately!" Langiamu thought about various possibilities. In the incoherent description of the communication officer, Langiamu Mu Shaoyou had a clue of the truth. ,

Winter fog off the coast of Africa often causes ships to become disoriented, apparently. , this Falcon Navy fleet that suddenly encountered was such a lost lamb,

What a gift from God! "A cold light flashed in Longiamu's eyes, and he suddenly stood up from his seat and walked a few steps back and forth in the cabin.

Punching the table with his hand, Langiamu loudly ordered with determination, "Command the vanguard fleet to eat it with all your strength. This is the best sacrifice to boost the morale of the whole family before this battle. He ordered the flankers to The 6th and 8th local squadrons move forward with all their strength. Regardless of losses, they must completely annihilate this Falcon Navy! Otherwise, let the two squadron commanders commit suicide!

Ever since the Gangfei Navy was beaten by the Falcon Navy in the southwest area, it has been in a state of decline. Coupled with the defeat in the Battle of Kesili, everyone from top to bottom, from the fleet commander to every sailor, has been facing the powerful force from the bottom of their hearts. The Falcon Navy fleet has a phobia, even Longiamu himself has to admit, According to the current combat power of the Congolese Navy, under the same combat conditions, it would take four to six Congolese warships of the same type to sink a Falcon Navy warship. Such a disparity in combat power ratio makes When the Gangfei Navy faces the Falcon Navy fleet alone, it always feels awkward to be beaten!

This time, the Congo Navy accurately grasped the characteristics of large-scale fog seas that are prone to occur in the Congo offshore waters in winter and are almost indistinguishable from thousands of meters away. They used the arrogance of the Falcon Navy to disperse the attack and launched a large-scale fog sea near Congo Kyoto. area, taking advantage of absolute advantages to set up ambushes,

Just send a small fleet to lead the approaching Falcon Navy into the foggy sea, and the numerically superior Gangfei Navy cluster will swarm in and carry out a brutal siege.

Even if the Falcon Navy has the terrifying Thor, in an unprepared close combat, the Thor's long range will be obliterated. However, the trebuchet, which is not a naval warship, can break through the deck of the Falcon Navy warship without any hindrance. , this is the best way to reduce the gap in combat power between the two sides.

In order to achieve the maximum effect of the counterattack, the Congolese Navy has gone all out. In addition to the main force of the two squadrons that have just withdrawn from the south, it has also assembled all combat-capable warships along the way, with the total number reaching a historic 258. This is definitely Gangfeihai This is the largest military build-up in the past thirty years, and it is also a long-awaited heavyweight counterattack by the African Navy. It is like a huge side knife stabbing the Falcon Navy's flank in the fog. It is so sharp that it makes people feel scared. The Gangfei Navy, fighting for dignity, has gone all out,

If successful, after strangling the main force of the Falcon Navy, the Congolese Navy will insert itself into the northern waters of Congo and retake the lost northern hub of Kasili Island.

It is undeniable that this battle plan is very well formulated.

Even Dostronkai, the experienced commander-in-chief of the Imperial Navy, did not expect that the African navy would dare to take advantage of the unique climate to launch a desperate counterattack. If it were not for the accidental loss of the Chekhov squadron, it would be The Falcon Navy squadrons surrounding the waters off Kyoto were at a disadvantage in this strangled battle in terms of time and location. It is inevitable that they will encounter extremely heavy losses and fall into a deadly battle that is difficult to escape. This will be a devastating disaster for the Falcon Empire Navy. Not to mention the loss of battleships, only the outstanding sailors all The heavy price of death was enough to even the gap between the Confederate Empire Navy and the Falcon Empire Navy.

The vanguard fleet that received the order began to move forward. In front of them was a fierce blocking line composed of fourteen Dragon Ya battleships and three Dragon class battleships. Countless volleys of fire were sprayed out from the side of the Dragon Ya battleship. This unexpected attack encounter. It made both sides fight crazy,

Relying on their numerical advantage, Gang Fei's navy moved forward without fear of casualties, only to see black spheres with tails of black smoke roaring towards them, booming! The battleship beneath his feet exploded like a ball that had been inflated by force. Countless people and debris were thrown into the control. The fierce bombardment made the Gangfei forward fleet pay a heavy price. Near-miss bombs continued to fall, and the water columns raised frightened many Gangfei Imperial Navy who had never seen such a scene. Gotta slow down.

"Shoot, kill the ones that slow down first!"

The Falcon Navy's gunners preferred these targets. Several rounds of Thor bombs landed on the deck of the Confederate fleet and exploded, the wind fanning the fire. The fire on the battleship became more and more intense. At first, only the middle deck started to burn. In less than a few minutes, the fire quickly spread to the front and rear ends of the battleship. Fierce fire surrounded the entire battleship. The "Rumble" hull was completely covered by the violent explosion, and all the masts were immediately broken. The ship's side was smashed down with the sails. "Bang!" The side of the ship on the left side was also penetrated and shattered. The water poured in desperately, and there was no chance of rescue at all. The bow of the battleship began to tilt up and sank rapidly.

In the thick fire, countless Gangfei sailors jumped into the sea. A warship approached the burning flagship of the local fleet in an attempt to pick up the people on it. However, the raging fire on the flagship prevented it from getting close quickly. After two consecutive attempts, the battleship successfully landed on the tail that had not yet caught fire.

Several sailors hurriedly pulled a middle-aged African-American military officer onto the rescue rope, however. God seemed to have destined the fate of this captain. Just when he was about to board the temporary wooden bridge and prepare to board the new battleship, suddenly, the figure of such a captain was once again hit by a violent explosion nearby. It's covered, but the billowing black smoke is rising

"Bastard, is the other party crazy? He just jumped up desperately!" Chekov put down the watch glass with a somewhat anxious expression. The scene just now was still floating in his mind. The death of the officer was not the second priority, but the death of the officer. The bravery of Gang Fei's navy far exceeded his expectations.

The fleet's endurance has reached its limit. In just half an hour, the entire gun warehouse was foggier than the fog outside, and there was a choking smell of saltpeter everywhere. The fierce artillery fire was spectacular, but the connotation represented here was The Falcon Navy's ammunition began to show weakness,

Fortunately, the modified Dragon Tooth ship has been equipped with an ammunition warehouse, and there are only 20 Thors on the side. The consumption can still be continued for a period of time. The ammunition storage of the three Dragon-class battleships is completely disappearing at an alarming rate. Every time An extremely spectacular salvo is taking one step closer to the point of death where ammunition and food are exhausted. Just now, First Officer Etek has come to report that the ammunition will not last for less than half an hour!

"Boom!"

Not far away, a Dragon Ya battleship that was on the outside suddenly had a violent explosion, and the hull almost broke. In front of the Dragon Ya battleship, one majestic battleship after another was directly hit by the fireball without any obstruction. . The thick external deck of the battleship was thrown away in all directions, and the hard body was torn apart by the meteor-like fireballs with terrifyingly large holes.

Several Gangfei warships rushed up, desperately throwing red fireballs at the Dragon Tooth ship that entered the range. The fire ignited some of the Thor bombs on the deck that had not been transported to the gun warehouse. The main attack weapon of the Gangfei battleship is oil-soaked projectiles. It is specially used to attack the opponent's battleship deck after igniting it and destroying the opponent's canvas. These flammable materials were accumulated on the lower deck of the deck. Now they were ignited at once. The violent explosion fire wave raised a pillar of fire more than ten meters high, and the fierce flames suddenly Group after group scattered and exploded on the Dragon Fang battleship, and the deck was shattered.

Chekov looked at the Dragon Tooth battleship, the first of his squadron that suffered a devastating blow, and his pupils tightened unnaturally. The flames spread to the ammunition depot, and a truly huge explosion was like a huge pillar of fire rising from the sea. Countless firelights exploded in the middle of the dragon tooth battleship,

"Damn it. We can't carry on like this!"

Chekov punched the side of the ship with an angry expression. The white light from the explosion burned his eyes. The red firelight in the distance shone on his uncertain face. There were many falcons on the hit battleship. Navy sailor from almost ten meters tall The deck jumped directly into the sea, and even jumped directly from the top of the mast more than 20 meters high, causing dark red waves to hit the ice floes on the sea. Those who did not have time to jump into the sea were directly swept by the roaring flames, tragically came the screams. It was so tragic that almost none of the 150 sailors on board the Dragon Tooth Battleship survived.

Even those who were lucky enough to jump into the sea only flopped a few times in the cruel ice sea and then disappeared. Every ship was fighting to the death! No one had the strength to launch a rescue and could only watch their colleagues die. Instead, the first Dragon Tooth ship sank tragically. The faces of the Falcon Navy sailors on other battleships suddenly became silent. Where there was the first ship, there would be a second ship, under the fierce bombardment of the fleet. More than seventeen Gangfeiren warships have been sunk or damaged. The wreckage of the battleships is floating on the sea not far away. However, the Gangfeirens that were defeated at a single stroke in the past have shown staggering tenacity this time. .

"Pop!"

As the distance approaches. The sling bombs from the Gangfei naval battleships have begun to appear intensively in the area of ​​the smaller Dragon Ya battleship. If it were not for the modification and thickening of the baffle, the losses of the Dragon Ya battleship would have occurred again. The water column raised by the live bombs made the Dragon Tooth battleship sway from side to side. The flaming balls were like stars rising in the night sky. It even gave Chekov a slight illusion on the flagship. They were shining on the sea. Starlight, even if the dragon-class battleship's huge hull was hit on the side, the hull could not stop shaking and exploded into balls of fire.

"hold fast!"

On another Dragon-class battleship in Chekov's squadron, the captain has completely given up on the plan to fight in roundabouts. The incomplete hull and broken sails still seem to be fighting to the death despite the huge rain of stones and bombs coming from the opposite side. Warriors, fighting against the approaching wolves,

All the explosive bombs had been fired, and the captain could only order to use the hammer bombs used to destroy the opponent's sails. The sailors who moved the hammers were sweating in the cold night, and the gunners almost didn't even need to aim, and directly targeted them. Launched at the huge hull that was passing by not far away,

The fire was like a cloud, and it seemed that even the surrounding white mist was burning.

Balls of fire turned the surrounding sea into a blood-red color. Two huge iron balls were hung on an iron chain, and the crisp and harsh squeezing and breaking sounds sounded intensively in front, from the rumbling cannons. Launched from the mouth, the iron ball rotated at high speed with a violent whistling sound, and landed on the side of a Gangfei battleship in front. The hull was directly disemboweled, and broken wood flew everywhere. Even if it was solid, The baffle could not block the close-range strike of the hammer ball. The solid iron ball relied on its huge inertia to smash in and crush all obstacles inside. The hull of the hit Gangfei battleship was violently shaken, and it quickly It stopped quickly, and finally stopped completely on the sea. The huge hull was lying sideways like a lifeless fish, and you could clearly see the chaotic figures running back and forth on it.

"It's Beaks' Sea Wolf!"

Chekov was dumbfounded as he watched the Long Wave Dragon-class battleship, which was the core of the first layer of defense, suddenly break away from the core position of the fleet, and actually rushed directly towards the oncoming Gangfei fleet and "snapped" a large ship. The smaller Gangfei battleship was directly squeezed away , the side of the ship was shattered, the Sea Wolf was much taller than other Congo Navy warships, and its tonnage was far more than the main battleships of the Congo Navy. It ran rampant among the Congo Navy fleet, and the Thor muzzle on the side was like a god of death. , firing violently without stopping for a moment

The gunners reloaded crazily amidst hysterical shouts and fired wildly, like a huge cold sword cutting through the weak neck, exploding the deck and side of the enemy warship opposite. This kind of tit-for-tat charge came from The exciting feeling makes every sailor's face show bloodthirsty ferocity.

The violent explosion and the blood-curdling screams echoed across the sea. The powerful Gang Fei Navy was obviously stunned.

All the violence and arrogance turned into panic and humiliation in front of this unscrupulous raider.

Huge tonnage, not afraid of fatal collisions, and pressing them hard at close range,

"Rumble!" Another Congolese warship was like a burst tomato. Huge flames tore open from the side. The roars that shook the sea had a kind of shocking magic, like a chilling anger. ! The people in Gangfei felt that this battleship was a ferocious beast, a bloodthirsty wolf!

The Gangfei warships around it finally showed a hint of timidity, and the tidal wave of offensive was like a slap in the face,

They dispersed desperately to both sides, as if no one wanted to provoke this lunatic.

Above Chekov's head, the flagman on the mast was shouting in a shrill voice, "Sea Wolf has sent a flag. The enemy is numerous. Please evacuate the main force of the fleet immediately!" (To be continued...)
