Starting from Zero

"Each fleet prepares, the enemy has entered the predetermined position, the muzzle of the first formation is to the left, and the muzzle of the second formation is to the right. Here, keep the speed and wait for the next order.”

After the military announcement of the military god, our fleet quickly adjusted the shooting Zhuyuan, and then waited for the mist fleet in front to give us guidance, and this At that time, the Fog Fleet was busy adjusting its position.

Although the Mist Fleet itself has the advantage of line-of-sight distance in the mist, the problem is that the entire fleet must be interspersed in the formation of the US-Russian combined fleet, which cannot be seen by the other party. This is not in itself. A simple thing. Although the fog of the Fog Fleet is different from the naturally formed thick fog, the concentration is much higher than normal thick fog, but the fog is not completely dark after all, so the US-Russian combined fleet still has a little line of sight. Considering the size of the sailing battleship of the Fog Fleet, to ensure that it is not seen by the opponent, it must be at least fifteen meters away from the opponent to be possible. However, because the battleship of the US-Russian combined fleet has no navigation in the fog, the distance between the ships of their fleet is not stable. Originally, these battleships kept a distance of more than two hundred meters from each other. It is indeed very simple for the fog fleet's battleship to pass through them without being noticed, but after driving in the fog for a while, this distance becomes Quite confused. The distance between some battleships can be extended to more than 500 meters, and some even sail side by side with a distance of more than 20 meters.

Because the formation of the US-Russia combined fleet itself is messy, and the position is constantly changing, so the misty fleet’s battleship wants to be inserted into these gaps and cannot be seen. Then you need to be very careful. However, although the effort was a little bit harder, the Mist Fleet finally reached a suitable position safely.

I and the ghost captain of the Mist Fleet stood on the bow of one of the ghost ships. Beside us, there is a neat row of front-mounted artillery, a large group of skeletons, evil spirits and the like. The demons and ghosts are busy loading shells, and on the mast behind are a large row of water ghosts wrapped in kelp and shells. Don't think that the ghost ship will shoot at you, these guys are actually better at getting on the ship. These water ghosts stand on the mast just to jump directly from the top for a while and use the power of the rope to swing to the enemy battleship on the opposite side. Of course, their task this time is not to play the battle in the past, but to install the locator. In addition to gun shooting positioners, we also have many positioners for precise positioning. However, this type of positioner needs to be thrown manually. The method of use is similar to that of a grenade. Although there is no safety switch, you must first press the switch before throwing it. Otherwise, this thing won't take effect.

The water ghosts on the masts each carry a backpack on their backs. There is an opening under the special backpack, and a locator can be pulled out by just reaching out. When using it, just press the start switch and throw it out. Of course, you can also find some hidden places to stuff it in. This gadget has its own magnetic attraction function. There are steel structures everywhere on the battleship, and you can stick it on wherever it is.

"This should be their flagship, right?" Looking at a huge black shadow a hundred meters away, I asked the ghost captain next to me aloud.

Captain Ghost is holding a tattered handbook that is almost full of holes, turning it over and comparing it with the shadow of the battleship on the opposite side. Although the thing in his hand seems to be very old, it is quite a magical thing. This thing is called the Ghost Navigation Manual. It looks like a hard-skinned diary, but it is actually a Treasure Item. Although this thing looks like one or two hundred pages, it actually has an infinite number of pages. If you are not too tired, copying the encyclopedia will never fill it up. Moreover, this thing is just like Doraemon's other-dimensional pockets, which has the ability to sense. As long as the corresponding information is recorded in it, when you want to look for it, just open a page in the middle part, and it must be the content you are looking for. Of course, the premise is that this information must be recorded in it, and things that are not available cannot be displayed. However, although this thing can automatically search for the information you want, you have to copy the information yourself, and you can’t write a single word on behalf of others.

The captain’s handbook is his personal manual. The contents on it are all copied by himself, and the content is extremely informative. There are not only some diaries, but also various The ship shape of the enemy ship is introduced, and there are even hand-drawn sketches.

The ghost captain held this thing and turned two pages and said directly: "This is the Banshee King super battleship belonging to the Banshee House in Russia, with a displacement of 197,000 tons. It is a big guy."< /p>

"That's it." I drew out Eternity and asked: "The enemy's line of sight is only 15 meters, right?"

"Yes, as long as 15 meters away If we don’t fire, we will never see us."

"Then get closer to 18 meters and prepare for the bombardment. By the way, inform other battleships, and when you approach, follow the instructions to fire uniformly."

"Understand."

Because the Fog Fleet has a visual range advantage in the mist created by itself, when we get close to the enemy ship 18 meters away, we can already see it from the ghost ship. Now that the enemy ship is clear, even the personnel on the opponent's deck can vaguely see a rough outline, and the opponent can't even see the outline of our battleship now.

"The ships are already in place." The ghost captain looked towards me and sent a report back soon.

I nodded raised the eternity in my hand, and shouted in the communicator: "Attention, all ships of the Mist Fleet, aim at the enemy ship, prepare for... fire."

Sails battleship The salvo of is not a full-ship salvo, but a sequential salvo. First, the gun that is located on the bow and the highest position starts to fire, then the guns on the lower deck of the ship fire at an interval of 0.5 seconds, and then the interval is zero. For five seconds, the artillery on the side of the artillery fired by the first sect fired, and then the artillery below it, that is, the artillery of each layer fired successively at intervals of one second, and the next layer was delayed by 0.5 seconds from the previous layer. If there are three-layer or fourth-layer gun positions, the interval between the upper and lower layer gun positions will be shortened to 0.3 or 0.2 seconds. Anyway, try to ensure that the first sect guns of all layers can complete a round of shooting within one second. Of course, this time is only an approximate interval, because it is manually ignited, and the speed of the old artillery is different each time, so the interval is not completely stable in fact, but as long as it is implemented according to this standard, even if it is early or late, it does not affect it. Effect.

As my shooting order was issued, the battleship we are in and all the battleships belonging to the Fog Fleet began a sequential salvo almost at the same time. The US-Russian combined fleet on the opposite side didn’t expect to be here. They were bombarded at this time, and what made them didn't expect that the bombing position was so close, it was almost sticking to them and firing.

The distance of eighteen meters is almost impossible for the shells to feel the distance. Almost as soon as the shelling sounded from here, there was a big hole in the US-Russian combined fleet battleship over there. , And what you can see from the US-Russian combined fleet is a group of red lights lit up in the distant fog and the big holes that keep appearing on your own battleship.

As I said before, although the Fog Fleet’s cannons seem to be old-fashioned front-mounted guns, and they fire solid iron bullets, theoretically they should simply not be able to fight these iron shell battleships of the US-Russian combined fleet. Cause any damage. But in fact, the situation is completely different from what you imagined. The Fog Fleet’s naval guns have special attributes. When they fire at someone else, their battleship armor will become the hardness of wood of equal thickness. Therefore, the steel battleship is not necessarily safe in front of the Fog Fleet. It feels like the Fog Fleet. Those old-fashioned artillery fired are not solid iron balls at all, but tungsten core armor-piercing bullets.

Because the shelling took place too suddenly, the combined U.S.-Russian fleet was hit by a intensive rain of shells without any preparation. Fortunately, the shells that occurred in the Fog Fleet had super armor-piercing capabilities. None of the battleships can stop them, but the explosive power of these shells is average. Although these shells actually explode, this formidable power is really negligible. Unless it hits the ammunition pile, even if it is shot into the ammunition depot and exploded, it will not necessarily detonate the ammunition.

Although because the formidable power of the shells is not as big as imagined, the battleship of the US-Russian combined fleet did not suffer serious casualties during the first round of shelling, but almost all the US-Russian combined fleet battleships that were targeted Being beaten like a sieve, almost all the holes facing the misty fleet battleship, although each hole is not too big, but such a large dense bullet hole looks scary enough.

"Damn it, the Frost Rose League’s mist fleet, fight back, fight back." The captains of the US-Russian combined fleet on the battleship screamed, but soon they found out that their orders were not The law was executed because they discovered that they could not see the enemy ship at all, and what was even worse was that they were very sure that there were a large number of battleships on their side in the direction where the artillery shells flew. In this case, the chance of firing a cannon indiscriminately and hitting one's own person was much higher than that of hitting the enemy, so these captains immediately withdrew the order after issuing the order.

"What can I do?" The gun god and the ice-bound Banshee were also hurriedly circled in a circle on the bridge at this time. Those captains can think of the problem, of course they both want to get it, but like those captains, they don't know how to fight back. All around are your own battleships, and what's more terrible is that you can't see the enemy's specific location at all. You know the approximate direction. Although the sound seems to be not far away, what will happen if you can't hit it? Everyone is surrounded by their own battleships. The probability of hitting them is too high. Most people simply don't dare to bet. Besides, the ice-bound Banshee and Gun God are both the highest commanders of the fleet. Of course, they cannot give such orders.

Ice-bound Banshee turned for a while and suddenly thought of something, and then directly opened the guild channel and shouted: "Attention all battleships. After seeing the enemy’s artillery fire, move closer to the enemy, and you can see it as long as you get closer. Enemy."

The words of Banshee on the ice can be described as awakening the dreamer. Everyone is worrying about not seeing the exact position of the enemy, but the muzzle flame can still be seen when the enemy fires. So as long as you see the muzzle flame, you will actively move closer to the enemy. Once you get close enough, you can naturally see the enemy.

Although the US-Russian combined fleet can no longer see each other due to the heavy fog, the guild channel can still be used, but this thing cannot cover the entire fleet, and the outer ships only You can rely on a relay to hear the sound, and this guild channel cannot be used to maintain the formation, because everyone can't see others at all, and there is no reference to the communication ability, and simply cannot pinpoint the position of oneself or others, so Everyone has never thought of using this thing to position themselves or others, but now Bingfeng Banshee suddenly shouted such words on the channel, which reminded everyone.

The US-Russian combined fleet that suffered a round of shelling simply did not fight back. It was just that some of the small artillery on the battleship fired a few random shots, and most of them failed to hit the target. One of them missed the target. Human. However, now with Banshee's suggestion of freezing Banshee, everyone is suffocating and waiting for the next round of shelling before posting it fiercely to avenge our fleet.

However, what made the combined US-Russian fleet quite unexpected was that the expected second round of shelling simply did not appear, and the surrounding attackers suddenly fell silent as if they had disappeared. Although the players of the US-Russian combined fleet searched the sea for a long time with staring eyes, they still saw nothing.

"What is the Frost Rose Alliance doing?" The long-term silence has caused the psychological pressure of the gun god to continue to rise. The quieter the situation, the more nervous he is, because of this The feeling of knowing that the enemy is around but not being attacked is like waiting to die, which is really intolerable.

The Frozen Banshee is similar to the gun god, but she has to calm down a little bit, after all, the pressure on the Russians is not as great as the Holy Gun League. If the Russian operation fails, the price is that the occupied eastern region may not be able to return in a short period of time. For the Holy Lance League, failure represents a complete loss of the future. If they fail to win this time, then the Holy Lance League will no longer exist, so the gun god here is a complete backstop, and naturally the psychological pressure will be much greater. It's not that the ice-bound Banshee has better psychological quality than the gun god. .

"The Frost Rose League should be planning something." Frozen Banshee said: "But we are in a passive state, and all we can do is keep moving forward. The Mist Fleet is impossible to keep us Shrouded in it, I have collected this information before. This dense fog state also requires magical power and other things, and will not be maintained forever. Therefore, we can rest assured that they are now more pressing than our time."

After listening to Frozen Banshee's words, the Gunners finally felt a little more relieved. Just like Frozen Banshee said, the fog of the Mist Fleet also has a time limit, so compared to them, we should It is the one who values ​​time more. However, the more this is the case, the more the Gunners can't figure out why we suddenly stopped after the first round of shelling and continued to attack.

In fact, the answer to the doubts of Banshee and the Gun God is very simple. The reason they don't know is because they can't see the entire battlefield in the mist.

The real reason why the Fog Fleet stopped shelling is actually to make room for our main fleet to shoot. In the first round bombardment just now, most of the launches were actually new standard rounds instead of attack ammunition, plus the beacon launchers that the water ghosts climbed onto the opponent’s battleship, and now the battleships that have been attacked are already full of location letters. Although they are still under the obscuration of the fog, they are as eye-catching as a beacon in the dark on the monitor on our side.

"Very good, the signal is very clear." King Chuang took the communicator to answer my question.

After knowing that the signal marking was completed, I immediately let the Fog Fleet go around to the rear of the US-Russian combined fleet and stopped mixing with them to avoid being hit by our own shells. After all, the sea is so strong that our artillery With the aid of a beacon, it may not be perfect. even more how there are many Japanese battleships in our combined fleet. Most of their battleships do not have a unified command system installed, so it is basically unlikely to reach our hit rate. Therefore, it is better to pull the mist fleet. The opening distance is relatively thick.

After the distance on our side was widened, I directly sent a new number to the fleet, and the King Chuang immediately began to shout after seeing the signal: "Attention each ship, according to the military god Your target position, start aiming."

The coordinate position generated by the beacon transmitter is not directly input to each battleship, but all are received by the military god, and then the coordinates are classified. According to the tonnage and location of the marked battleship, find a battleship with suitable firepower and distance in our fleet group, and then assign this goal to it.

After the military god’s allocation, each battleship in our fleet only needs to attack one target. The advantage of this is that it is convenient for all the artillery on the battleship to fire uniformly. Otherwise, If a ship has to attack multiple targets at the same time, then the angle parameters will become very troublesome. In addition, the coordinates assigned by the military god are basically not too far from the position of the battleship that received the task, and must be a target that the opponent can effectively damage, and there will be no case of assigning battleships to their own destroyers for shelling.

"Attention to all units, fire at will after the calibration is completed. Repeat, fire at will after the calibration is completed, no need to wait."

After the final order of the military god, I put it in the fleet. The battleship belonging to our Frost Rose League started shelling almost in no particular order. After all, our guild’s battleship originally had a unified shooting parameter input system. As long as the enemy’s azimuth and distance information were obtained, it could be adjusted quickly. The firepower of the ship is much simpler and faster than the manual calculation of the battleship of the Japanese fleet. Therefore, our battleship began to roar almost at the same time when the order of the military god was issued, while the battleship of the Japanese fleet started firing after a delay of more than ten seconds.

"The gun god? Did you hear any sound?" Bingfeng Banshee suddenly stood up from his seat, and then asked with a nervous look at the gun god, while the gun god was frowned looked Towards Frozen Banshee, he obviously heard that voice too.

"Sounds like..." The gun god suddenly changed his face after hesitating for a while, and then exclaimed, "Shell, evade!"

Although the gun god reacted It's fast, but it's a pity that this reaction speed is significantly slower for the shells. Just as the gun god shouted such words, a large group of shells fell with rustling sound, and the hit rate was amazing. The surrounding battleship, including their ship, was also taken care of by the barrage. While shouting "Painting Evasion", the Gunslinger, who was about to grab the steering wheel and turned towards the helmsman, felt like he was flying just halfway through the run. Three shells exploded on the fore deck of this battleship almost in random order. One of them hit the bow, cutting off the entire bow, and the second hit the deck in front of the first turret. In the area, a big hole was opened directly there, and the unbiased third shot at the center of the No. 1 turret instantly penetrated the armor on the top of the turret, and then exploded inside the turret, lifting the parts of the entire turret everywhere.

Because all three shells hit the bow area, the front end of all this battleship suddenly sank. In addition, because the bow wave breaker was blown up, the reverse flow structure was destroyed and suddenly enlarged. The resistance made the battleship slam the brakes, which is why the gun god felt that he was flying.

The sudden deceleration of battleship allowed the Gunner to directly install the front console, and then rolled over from the console and turned to the edge of the front circle before being blocked, but he did so. It was a bit cheap, although it was not lightly dropped, it escaped the porthole glass that burst afterwards. Of course, this thing itself does not cause much harm.

The speed of the ice-bound Banshee and Gunshen’s ship suddenly decreased when the bow was shot, and then less than two seconds later, in the middle of the battleship, the side of the central area of ​​the island was suddenly hit by a large-caliber artillery shell. It penetrated, but I don’t know if it’s luck or the reason. The shell didn’t explode. It passed through the side armor of the middle section of the island and filled the personnel rest area below, and finally got stuck in the central ammunition storehouse just one wall away, and It didn't explode in the end. However, as this shell landed, it was followed by another three consecutive hits. Their luck was not so good this time.

The first shell of the second three-fire type directly hit the side armor and exploded outside the armor belt. Because it was the thickest armored position on the battleship, the explosion only caused a large area of ​​armor to be deformed and failed to penetrate, but the second round of shells followed by almost hit the same position. This time it was opened directly on the deformed armor. A big hole, then penetrated into the internal fuel tank and caused a violent explosion. The entire battleship jumped up a bit, and then suddenly fell to the surface of the sea, the entire ship can be seen obviously deformed and twisted with naked eye. However, the last shell still did not miss the battleship, but accurately hit the front shield of the fourth turret pointing in this direction. Although the shell did not penetrate the main armor, all three barrels were blown up, and a huge dent appeared on the front of the bare turret, which was completely scrapped.

After these three bursts, the battleship was attacked by several shells one after another, but all of them were near misses and no hits. However, even so, this battleship is sinking at an exaggerated speed, and even if there is no shell to continue hitting, it will not escape the sinking fate.

As soon as the ice-bound Banshee got up from his position, he saw the Gunslinger holding his head and walking over. Neither of them looked very good-looking. This is the third time the US-Russian combined fleet has changed its flagship. , And so far they have not actually played a regular game with our fleet.

"You'd better come to my boat." Gunman glanced at the ice-bound Banshee and said. "Your battleship always seems to be taken care of."

The ice-bound Banshee did not refute this matter, but directly nodded and went out with the gun god. As for this ship, there is no need for rescue at all. The shell that hit the fuel depot before has exploded and deformed the keel of the battleship. It can be repaired if anything is broken. Only the keel is the core of the battleship. If something goes wrong, even if it can be towed back to the port, it will only be dismantled and reused. There is no magic cultivator rationale at all.

Just as the ice-bound Banshee and the Gunslinger were busy changing their flagships, the battleships in the US-Russian combined fleet that were attacked by the Fog Fleet were successively hit by our long-range firepower, although some of them Good luck was not directly destroyed, but most battleships were hit hard, and nearly half of them sank directly.

This is the worst loss since the merger of the US-Russian combined fleet, and this loss made Banshee and the Gunners feel that their hope of victory is very slim. If our previous battle can only be regarded as harassment, then this is actually a hunting action. In this attack, the Sino-US-Russian combined fleet sank a total of more than 70 battleships, and almost all of these battleships are large-scale battleships. This is what worried Banshee and Gun God.

Our attack targets are all large-scale battleships, which means that we can see their battleships, otherwise it is impossible to explain how we choose targets. However, if we can see their battleship, they will always be shelled, and because they can't see us, they have no way to fight back. In this way, their battleship can only be passively beaten, and the loss rate is quite exaggerated, and they will soon lose their battle strength completely.

Because of these discoveries, Banshee and the Gunslinger are both very lost now. They have some not knowing what to do. Originally, they expected to get close to Isengard, close to our country, and then forced us to fight them decisively, but absolutely didn't expect us to come up with such a tactic. Trapped in the mist, they simply don't have the slightest chance to counterattack, but our battleship can unscrupulously pour out firepower. In this way, it is a question of whether it can bypass Japan, not to mention the coastal waters of China.

"What are we going to do?"
