Alien Arms Empire

It is not an easy task to find a warship sailing fast in the vast sea, especially when the warship has a relatively high speed.

Datang Group's engine technology has always been the best in the world, and even Cyric has never questioned this point.

In the previous two racing competitions hosted by Datang Group, the team of Datang Group won the well-deserved No.1.

This also reflects from the side that Datang Group has a strong technical reserve in the power system and an amazing sense of innovation.

The Weigang-class cruiser, also known as the Wolf-class cruiser before, with its sharp bow like an arrow missing, parted the waves and galloped across the vast sea.

This battleship was ordered to set off from Linshui Port, and alone carried out the task of going north to harass the mirage's sea transportation line.However, it is still difficult to find Mirage's transport ship in the endless sea.

Although we already know about the route of the mirage people, there are also a large number of mirage warships patrolling near this route, so the warships of Datang must be very careful not to overwhelm the enemy.

You must know that the warships serving in the navies of various countries are equipped with radio telegraphs, and their communication capabilities are much better than those of the army.

Once these guard posts are triggered, the enemy's navy will soon arrive and sink the incoming opponent with more bullying and less.

If it weren't for the fact that the main fleet had already moved north and was already quite close to the war zone, Tang's navy would not even be willing to dispatch warships to prove its presence.

Now it's all right, Bernard's fleet started to go north, everyone has confidence, and the call for the battle is getting louder and louder, so there is this code-named stepping stone operation.

This action is to send a cruiser to cut off the transportation line between Mirage Kingdom and Beiyuan City by using its speed.

The captain of Tang Jun stood on the bridge and stared at the distant sea with his binoculars. He didn't want to miss a target, and he didn't want to fall into a trap.

"Is the position correct?" After cutting to this route, the captain asked the same question for the third time.

The navigator, who was writing and drawing on the chart table, confirmed his route again, nodded and replied: "That's right, sir! I think we are already on their route."

"Keep the course!" The captain gave the order, then walked to the navigator, and said, "I hope you are right, we did not encounter any enemies here."

"I also hope that I have not made mistakes." The navigator smiled awkwardly. In fact, none of them can guarantee that they will not make mistakes.

It is possible that they are not on their route at all. It is possible that they are hundreds of kilometers away from that route. The navigation technology of this era is so outrageous.

Therefore, before the enemy is actually discovered, everyone in the bridge is restless, restless, and a little nervous.

Naval battles without radar and reconnaissance planes are so boring and embarrassing: Sometimes there is no trace of an enemy for a few days or even ten days.

"Do you want to adjust the route?" The first officer expressed his opinion with some uncertainty.

The captain shook his head, and explained helplessly: "The more maneuvers are made, the more difficult it is to calibrate. After a few more twists and turns, we will have to return."…

"Also, we really have no way to prove that we are not on their route." He picked up the binoculars again and aimed at the distant sea.

Finally, after more than two hours, a black column of smoke appeared on the horizon in front of them.

The lookout sentry on the mast rubbed his tired eyes, then picked up the binoculars to take a closer look, and then shouted loudly to his feet: "I found the target!"

"I found the target!" The soldiers waiting below shouted, and the captain became excited for a moment, picked up the binoculars, and looked in the direction of his men's fingers.

Sure enough, he saw some black smoke gradually spreading on the horizon. Obviously, it was an enemy ship!
"Sound the battle alarm! Reload the shells! Lean over! Lean over! Prepare to fight!" The captain issued a series of orders excitedly.

After the order was given, he looked at the navigator beside him and smiled, "Good job, young man!"

"This is what I should do." The navigator stood at attention and saluted, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief.He was also very nervous just now, wondering if he really took the wrong route.

Soon, a piercing battle alarm sounded inside the battleship.The red lights began to flicker, and from time to time, some personnel rushed to their combat positions.

Everyone was wearing life jackets and helmets on their heads. The gun emplacements were already full of people, and the palms of their loading hands were pressed against the spare shells.

"Enemy ship at 12 o'clock! Heading due west, distance 35 kilometers!" Looking up from the rangefinder, the sergeant loudly reported the status of the enemy ship.

"Calculate the opponent's speed! Notify the gun position on the port side, we will turn first and meet the enemy on the port side!" The captain looked at the first officer and gave an order.

"The enemy ship is turning!" Soon, the lookout sent back a message. Obviously, the enemy ship had also spotted the cruiser of the Datang Kingdom lying on the route.

"Keep the speed!" The captain continued to order while holding up the binoculars to observe the enemy ship.

"Keep the speed!" The officer in charge of the speed shouted, and the atmosphere on the bridge was completely tense.

"Left rudder 15 degrees!" In order to grab the position, the captain quickly gave the order to turn the rudder again.

The helmsman turned the steering wheel in front of him, and after completing the operation, he repeated: "Left rudder 15 degrees!"

"The enemy ship is turning! They are turning the rudder to the left!" The soldiers at the lookout post continued to observe the enemy's situation and loudly reported what they had just seen.

"It's really fast! Turn back to the rudder, starboard 5 degrees!" The captain stared at the black smoke from the enemy ship in the distance, and rested his order again.

The opponent wanted to use the same steering to get rid of the distance, but it was obvious that Tang's warship had a clear advantage in speed.

The speed of the mirage's transport ship is probably less than 10 knots, which is a lot worse than that of the Weigang-class cruiser.And the two sides are heading towards each other, so the distance is very close.

"The distance is 15 kilometers!" The officer next to the range finder reported the distance between the two sides loudly.

"I didn't see the artillery on the enemy ship, it should be a transport ship!" A more exciting news came from the observation post. …

"Continue to observe, can it be matched with the ship model in the intelligence?" The captain looked to the other side again, looking at his subordinates who were looking through the enemy ship model outline comparison manual.

The man raised his head, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen any obvious features, so I can't confirm the model yet."

"The distance is 10 kilometers!" Because the rudder has not been adjusted, the sharp bow of the cruiser has been re-pointed to the distant target at this time.

"Shoot a shot, scare the opponent, maybe the opponent will surrender." The captain decisively found a job for the gunners who were waiting in line.

"Boom!" A few seconds later, a shell rushed towards the target, but because of the distance, the place where the shell fell into the water was far from where the enemy ship was.

"The enemy has completed the turn!" The soldiers in the lookout post shouted loudly.

"Return to the rudder! The bow is facing the enemy! Continue to pursue!" The captain stared at the enemy transport ship that had been getting bigger and bigger in his eyes, his face was full of excitement.

This kind of enemy ship that will not fight back when killed is simply too easy to fight. It is really not too fun to attack such a ship.

"The enemy ship is 8 kilometers away!" Time passed by, and finally, the officer next to the range finder reported the actual distance between the two sides again.

"Keep firing! All the artillery on the bow, as long as there is an attack window, fire! Don't hesitate! There is no need to wait for orders." Captain

"Boom! Boom!" The three cannons on the bow began to roar, and one after another, the shells flew towards the distant target.

"Miss!" The observer shouted a little dumbfounded. After firing six shots in a row, none of them missed a single shot, let alone good news such as straddle shots.

The captain picked up the binoculars and comforted him: "Don't worry! Take your time! They can't run away!"

Before he finished speaking, another shell flew out from the bow turret, this time it did not disappoint everyone, it accurately landed on the tail of the fleeing enemy ship in the distance.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, a ball of flame rose from the tail of the enemy ship, followed by black smoke.

"Beautiful!" Even the captain cheered excitedly, which shows how much luck was involved in this shot.To be honest, it is not surprising to everyone that they can hit the target with three more salvos.

This time, luck was overwhelming, and it only took seven shots to hit the enemy ship at a distance of about 6 kilometers, which immediately enlivened the atmosphere in the entire battleship.

"The speed of the enemy ship is decreasing!" Good news came from the observation post.

"The enemy ship is 5 kilometers away!" The officer next to the range finder raised his head again.

"The enemy ship seems to have hoisted a white flag!" The first officer held a binoculars, and saw a huge white flag through the continuously drifting black smoke.

"Huh?" The captain was taken aback for a moment, and then began to observe carefully.

Indeed, the enemy ships hoisted the white flag.

"Stop shelling! Come over! Check the situation!" The captain frowned, not knowing what tricks the enemy ship was playing.

The distance between the two sides continued to shrink, and soon Tang Jun's cruiser was sideways beside the phantom transport ship that had reduced its speed.

Only then did the captain of the Tang army realize that it was a phantom troop carrier.In order to increase efficiency, the troop carrier that could only operate one battalion was squeezed into two battalions with more than 1000 people.

They surrendered because they knew they couldn't escape.If they continue to be bombarded, the more than 1000 infantry soldiers of the army will sink with the ship and go to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish together.
