Alien Arms Empire

Chapter 641 Where is our fleet?

Just when Nangonghong was about to leave, the waiter sent a new piece of information.After Tang Mo received the information, he was slightly taken aback, and then his face became even more gloomy.

He handed the telegram to Nangonghong, and Nangonghong took the thin telegram paper, only to realize how terrible the weight was on it.

Because he saw that the telegram said that the mirage army slaughtered more than [-] Qi people in Beiyuan City, and it is still going on to this day.

"Your Majesty, this..." Nan Gonghong raised his head and looked at Tang Mo.He saw an extremely ugly face.

"If I don't take revenge, I won't be king!" Tang Mo clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

Then he looked at the waiter and ordered, "Go, get Luf! I want to know where our fleet is!"

Even when the coastline was threatened by the Phantom Navy fleet, Tang Mo did not show anxiety, and he never asked where his fleet was.

But now, he asked, so Nangonghong knew very well that Tang Mo was really angry, and he was really going to make the people of Mirage Kingdom pay the due price.

Soon, Loew arrived in a hurry, and then he reported to Tang Mo that Bernard's fleet had almost arrived at the war zone.

"Your Majesty! Bernard's fleet left Linshui and is heading to the war zone. It is estimated that it will appear near the route of Mirage soon." Loew pointed to the map and gave an approximate location of the fleet.

Tang Mo nodded slightly, and then ordered: "Don't be polite to the mirage people! We don't accept any form of surrender, don't want any prisoners, sink all mirage ships we see! Don't let any go!"

"Yes! Your Majesty, I will call Bernard immediately." Loew lowered his head slightly. He knew that a real killing had begun.

……

On the vast sea, on the battleship East Bay No. 3, the flagship of the main fleet of the Tang Army, Bernard received the telegram specially sent to him from the adjutant.

He saw the bloody writing on it, and immediately issued a combat order: "Raise the blood flag! Gentlemen, His Majesty's will! We will not take prisoners in this battle!"

"Raise the blood flag!" The adjutant repeated the order loudly. Under the national flag and the navy flag, a bright red flag was slowly raised. The signal lights kept flashing. The semaphores on the surrounding battleships continued, and the entire fleet seemed busy. .

"Correct the course! The entire army is 5 degrees to port!" Bernard gave another order. They were already close to the enemy's course, and the entire fleet was already full of murderous intent.

All the battleships were turning slightly, and the three leading battleships were like mountains lying across the sea, billowing thick smoke from their chimneys, rolling over the sea continuously.

"Fengshun 31 on the outskirts has spotted a phantom transport ship, and it's heading to the east!" Soon, a signal soldier came to report that the destroyers guarding the outskirts of our own fleet had spotted the target.

"Sink it!" Bernard ordered directly.

"Obey! General!" The messenger immediately went to convey the order.

On the distant sea, on the front deck of the Fengshun-class destroyer, which is not very powerful in firepower, a 150mm main gun is spinning, and the slender muzzle is pointing at the enemy transport ship that is turning wildly in the distance.

"Boom!" Without any hesitation, after aiming at the target, the destroyer's front main gun shot out a cloud of flames.

A huge water column rose from the side of the transport ship, and the sea water hit the deck of the transport ship like raindrops.

"Miss!" The observation post on the mast shouted loudly to the people under his feet: "The ballistic trajectory deviates to the left!"

"The trajectory is to the left!" The people below shouted loudly, and the bow of the destroyer hit the waves, and the waves rose and fell.

"Boom!" The main gun fired again, but this time it still failed to hit the target.It is not an easy task to hit a ship at sea.

This requires a little bit of luck, rigorous practice on weekdays, and more importantly, sophisticated fire control technical support.

"Boom!" The third attack still had no effect, and the opponent was still desperately trying to escape. The water jets blasted by the shells shot up into the sky on both sides of the enemy ship's side, but none of them directly hit the enemy ship.

However, the distance between the two sides is getting closer and closer as time goes by, because the speed of the Fengshun-class destroyer is very high, at least much higher than that of the enemy's transport ship.

Whether it is Mirage or Cyric, they leave the high-performance boilers produced to warships that are in urgent need of good things, so their civilian ship power systems are even more hip.

The general speed of transport ships in this era is around 17 kilometers, which is only a pitiful 9 knots or less.How cheating is this speed?In fact, it is not much faster than a U-shaped submarine when sailing underwater!
Obviously, it is impossible to get rid of the destroyer with such a speed, and as the distance between the two sides continues to narrow, the hit rate of the attack is also gradually increasing.

This is simply a certain thing. If the sides of the two sides are next to the side of the ship, it is really very difficult to miss a shell.

"Boom!" Soon, the main gun on the destroyer fired another shell, this time the shell landed quite close to the target, making one almost think it had hit the target.

Even the sailors on the destroyer had already cheered, but it was finally confirmed that the shell still failed to hit.

But soon, the sailors finished loading again, and then fired another shell, this time the opponent no longer had the good luck they had before.

The destroyer, which fired 30 shells in one breath, finally achieved the result.This shell hit the stern of the opponent's ship, and the enemy ship had already billowed thick smoke.

Then the transport ship began to slow down, it seemed to have lost its speed, which was not considered fast, and it almost stopped in place.

"Boom!" The hit rate of the moving target was a little lower before, but now the hit rate of the fixed target has increased a bit, and the second shell blasted out, also hitting the smoking target.

This shot directly hit the superstructure of the enemy ship, and the explosion went straight into the sky. A chimney on the transport ship fell slowly, looking very embarrassed.

"Boom! Boom!" As the distance between the two sides continued to approach, the small-caliber artillery on the destroyer also began to roar. Large and small shells hit the body of the warship, causing various explosions.

Seeing that the transport ship was tilting, the captain of the destroyer did not give any order to cease fire - the order he received was to sink the enemy ship and not take any prisoners, and it was his bounden duty to obey this order.

Hatred can only breed greater hatred, and those idiots screaming for forgiveness are mentally ill with water in their heads.The only way to forgive the enemy is to bury the enemy with his own hands, and the way of burying alive is easier to forgive!

"Do you want to save shells?" The adjutant put down the binoculars, turned his head and asked his captain.

"Continue to attack!" The captain held the binoculars, admiring the results of his battle, and replied calmly.

Soon, the deck of the enemy ship that was close at hand had been tilted and submerged into the water.The sea was full of sailors from Mirage Kingdom, as well as wounded soldiers who were about to be transported back to China.

"Give them a good time!" The captain put down the binoculars and said, "I'm already very merciful."

With his order, the destroyer's machine guns roared.The tracer bullets rained down on the sea surface, and the sea water was stained red with blood in an instant.

Soon, another Fengshun-class destroyer approached, with flags on the side of the battleship, announcing the news that the main force of the fleet was coming.

On the sea in the distance, the black smoke from the three Dongwan-class battleships entangled together, lingering on the horizon, looking spectacular.

Finally, a large number of mirage transport ships flooded with water capsized and sank on the sea, leaving only a bottom covered with barnacles, which gradually disappeared from the sea.

The huge propeller is simply an imitation, copied from the propeller used on the Liberty Ship transport ship of the Datang Kingdom - but it is not completely copied, it has a superficial appearance, and the performance is probably a little worse.

"Let's go!" Looking at the sunken ship that could no longer turn over, the captain of the Fengshun-class destroyer, who was in charge of peripheral security and search, ordered with some insatiable desire.

The destroyer, which had just slowed down for the convenience of the attack, sped up again and headed for the distance.Only the later destroyer was left, and continued to tease the unlucky mirages who fell into the water.

Soon, the surviving mirage sailors and wounded saw a scene that shocked them.The huge Dongwan-class battleship drove closer with billowing smoke.

They could only look up at this giant sea monster, feeling despair welling up from the bottom of their hearts, because this is the most powerful war machine that humans have built so far.

The sailors of the Tang army who stood on the side and looked down at the survivors looked indifferent. They had already learned about the massacre of civilians in the mirage country, so looking at these survivors was like looking at a group of dead people.

Soon more warships passed by here, after all, this was the busiest transportation line in the entire northern sea area before.

There should be countless mirage transport ships here, as well as a large mirage navy fleet cruising here.

"The specific location of the enemy fleet has not been determined yet, but the cruiser that came here to carry out the attack mission provided some vague coordinates." The navigator said to Bernard next to the map table, looking down at the map.

He pointed to several marked positions: "They have had contact with the enemy fleet here, here, and here, and they have separated by virtue of their speed... This shows that the enemy ships should be operating within this range."

"Is there a way to find them?" Bernard asked eagerly.

"It's not easy. If they are still there, they should be in this area. If they run out of fuel and return, we may not find anything." The navigator shook his head and replied.
