Chapter 548 549 Battle of the Northern Sea

On a wreck-laden sea, the sharp bow of Alanhill Navy's guided-missile destroyer cuts through the waves , at a very high speed, knocked off a wooden boat blocking its course.

The escape boat full of demon soldiers sank in the sea in an instant, leaving only a few wooden boards still rippling in the water.

Not far behind the guided-missile destroyer, Alanhill's giant battleship Victory is firing at the farther demon battleship with its 406mm heavy artillery mounted on its battleship.

The earth shook and the sound of the mountain quivered artillery echoed on the sea, and the entire battlefield was very lively with the white missile tracks flying over in the sky.

"bang!" has already stepped forward, and the Alanhill artillery cruiser, which is approaching the demon fleet, is firing non-stop salvos. Those powerful 203mm caliber artillery guns are actually bigger than the momentum in terms of firing rate. Power is deep The 406mm main gun is much higher, and the ability to dump ammunition is also more powerful.

In the face of demon battleships with poor defensive ability, these 203mm caliber artillery can achieve even more amazing results, and also save more ammunition.

After all, 406mm shells really take up a lot of space, and even Alanhill's super battleship can't carry too much.

The 203mm caliber shell is different, even the cruiser can carry enough ammunition, and the lethality to the demon battleship is not weak.

In addition, in terms of manufacturing cost, 203mm caliber shells are also much cheaper than 406mm caliber shells.

At a distance of 20 kilometers, the artillery cruiser's artillery fire dumping ability is quite impressive. Compared with the battleship, it is not weak at all - the only difference between the two is actually in the protection of heavy armor. target's damage ability.

After all, a 406mm caliber shell can penetrate a half-meter-thick hardened armored steel plate, but a 203mm caliber cannon may not even penetrate the thickness of the same steel plate of 300mm.

However, the demon's battleship doesn't have such heavy armor protection at all, so for Alanhill's battleship, these thin-skinned and big-stuffed targets are more economical to attack with 203mm caliber artillery shells.

At this moment, six Alanhill artillery cruisers lined up, with powerful firepower, on the road of the demon navy. Continuously use violent artillery fire to sink the demon navy battleship that was trying to approach.

Their efficiency is really too high, these battleships equipped with MK16 self-loading naval guns can automatically reload shells at any gun elevation, maintaining a terrifying 10 shells per minute. speed.

With this high rate of fire, these cruisers are literally demonic battleships in the face of slaughter. The opponent had not yet entered the attack range of the magic gun, and was hit by these shells with the same terrifying armor-piercing ability, which broke and sank in the explosion.

As this Northern Sea naval battle progresses, Alanhill's main fleet has adjusted its formation, forming a "V" formation, with the demon fleet sandwiched between the two wings.

The Alanhill fleet, which is flexible and has a higher speed, dispatched the destroyer fleet to harass the periphery, and attacked the opponent's flank with the cruiser as the main force, defeating the main force of the demon fleet.

The demon fleet deployed on the flanks was routed by the battleship fleet under the command of Laurence, and suffered heavy losses, and had to turn the same course.

But when the Demon Fleet turned its course and tried to break out of the encirclement, only to find out that Alanhill's Sky Fleet had already killed it behind him.

After a melee, the left flank of the Demon Fleet was dragged by Maher's 2nd Cruiser Fleet. Although it was still attacking, it was an arrow at the end of its flight.

The main force of the demon fleet on the other side, under the flanking attack of Laurens and Vagron, was completely incapable of helping the decoy fleet in the encirclement.

The demon decoy fleet that was caught in the V shape has now been almost eaten, and after holding on for so long, they now only have the ability to be beaten.

Standing on the city wall of the Demon Floating Void City Fort, the evil Demon General who was in charge of commanding this operation clenched his fists with an ugly expression and looked at the battlefield where the smoke billows in the distance.

His fleet has been eaten by most of it, but the outer battleship that was supposed to flank the human fleet is still missing.

The originally agreed battle plan has now become a complete joke: the intelligence sent by the liaison officer shows that the human forces deployed on the left and right flanks are even stronger than the left and right flanks of the demon fleet.

This is very interesting: who is besieging whom? If this kind of plan to surround humans turned out to be surrounded by humans, then from the moment this battle started, was the demon fleet over?

"Hundreds of battleships! How could it be so impossible to withstand a single blow? Order the 4th and 5th fleets to attack both flanks!" .

The officer standing behind him looked embarrassed, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he opened his mouth to report: "Sir... The 4th Fleet has been severely damaged, and it is unable to escape and turn the bow to fight back."

"What about the 5th Fleet? Huh?" the angry Demon General asked loudly: "Let the 5th Fleet launch a fierce attack on the right flank! Break through the human fleet and cut off the connection between them... ..."

Hearing this unrealistic order, the officer could only be brave oneself to send the order - but he was actually very clear that if the 5th Fleet could break through the human encirclement and cut off the opponent's fleet Formation, disrupting the opponent's deployment, they are not so passive now.

Actually, from the destruction of the 1st Fleet and the 2nd Fleet, it can be seen that the fact that they are surrounded by them is caused by the absolute difference in battle strength.

If you want to challenge the enemy's superior technology with inferior technology in naval warfare, you are basically courting death.

But now, the demon commander is doing this senseless struggle: hundreds of battleships have been sunk, but the demon fleet only sank two small human battleships not long ago .

Those were two guided missile destroyers, which were destroyed by the approach of demon bats and dragons because they ran out of missiles. But then a human battleship arrived, drove away the demon bat and dragon, and rescued the human soldiers who fell into the water.

The only victory was achieved by the Air Force, which made the Demon Fleet very embarrassed. In fact, from the start of the war to the present, they have only fired less than 100 shots in total. Because of the disadvantage of the magic-guided cannon in terms of range and serious defects in accuracy, most of these attacks did not cause any damage to the human fleet. trouble.

"Damn, when did these bastards become so strong?" The evil Demon General, who had just arrived in this world and had just seen the human industrialized fleet, complained in a low voice full of resentment Such a sentence.

Before the words he complained about landed, the demon Floating Void City Fort under his feet suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, when the evil Demon General was frowned and opened his mouth to ask the people around him what was going on, he felt the Floating Void City Fort he was stepping on suddenly tremble, and then It shook violently.

"What's going on? What happened?" He held onto the crenels on the city wall, barely standing still, and shouted loudly, "Check the inside of the castle! Go and see what happened. What's going on!"

"bang!" Under the castle's core tower in the distance, a huge plume of smoke rose into the air, followed by a deafening explosion, and then the The floating magic array began to weaken.

"The core is destroyed!" The evil Demon General, who was familiar with the structure of the demon castle, suddenly realized that the major event was not good, but when he realized all this, it was too late to stop the demon Floating under his feet. The Void City fort is on the verge of destruction.

The next second, he felt something flying past him, because the speed was so fast that he didn't even hear the violent breaking wind.

Everything was so quiet, everything was so fast, and by the time the evil Demon General felt something flying by, it had passed where he was standing and crashed into him. into the city wall of the castle.

In just a split second, that thing penetrated the thick city wall of the castle, penetrated a house behind the city wall, and penetrated the house behind this house.

The huge kinetic energy suddenly shattered these houses. Before the shattered rubble fell to the ground, the thing slammed into the core of the castle and was nowhere to be seen.

It didn't take a second to pass, and the demon castle, which was already collapsing, started to disintegrate faster.

"What's that?" It flew past him so fast that he couldn't even see what it was. So the evil Demon General looked towards his subordinates and asked in horror.

Or maybe he didn't really want to ask because he didn't know, but it was just a way of venting the fear in his heart, venting his anger that he was about to lose.

No one answered him, because the demons didn't know what had just passed by. They only know that that thing with no difficulty penetrated the reinforced magical defense barrier on the periphery of the demon castle, and also penetrated the city wall in an instant, penetrated the house, penetrated the land with a thickness of tens of meters, and destroyed this floating building. The power core of the Void City Fort.

So, in silence, the power core of this huge Floating Void City fort could no longer remain stable, and exploded in an instant. A huge explosion appeared in the sky, and the entire demon castle exploded into countless pieces, as if a falling hailstorm fell on the head of the panicked demon fleet.

In the sky, more than 50 kilometers away, in the sealed artillery control room, the human artillery commander stood with his hands behind his back in his command position, and raised his chin to remind him loudly Men: "Change the rails...the gun reloading begins!"
