Chapter 67 Perfect Action(1/2)
"Discover the target." Reports sounded at the same time on the phones of all warships.
The huge observation device located at the top of the Tyrant first captured the target image. Now the heavy fog around has blocked our surroundings, and the only part higher than the fog is this official room. This high-power observation device imported from Germany has a giant lens with a diameter of 2.5 meters, which can easily detect distant targets. Now we are using this thing as the observation center of the fleet to capture the enemy.
The report from the observation room made everyone chatting back to their posts. These damn Japanese people were late, which made us wait for more than an hour in vain. I thought we were late and the Japanese passed in advance, but I didn't expect that we were early. We couldn't wait for a long time and we naturally relaxed, but when we heard that the enemy situation disappeared, everyone was excited.
I put away the playing cards and returned to the command bridge. King Chuang and Lin Yue rushed in with a fishing pole in panic. "Are you here?"
I held a cup of green tea and blew the tea leaves slowly and said, "Don't be so nervous. The observation mirror above is larger than the one above the Eternal. The standard observation distance is 170 kilometers. Although it is night now, the enemy is still 100 kilometers away! Don't be anxious."
The King of Chuang was a little excited and couldn't sit still. Finally, he simply climbed into the observation room to see the situation. Hongyue shouted to the top: "What have you seen?"
The King of Chuang replied: "There are only three small warships, probably pilot ships."
"What's behind?"
"No! The dark shadows are so dark that I can't see anything clearly!"
I shouted beside me, "Open the infrared fill light to make it clearer."
After passing, he would break into the king's words: "I saw it. There are one, two, three, four...wow, 14 battleships! Did the Japanese really put in a lot of money?"
"Did you see the transport ship?" Hongyue asked.
"I didn't see the transport ship, it might be transported in the warship." The King of Chuang replied.
I thought about it and added: "No, there must be a ship behind. The Japanese warships are escorted. If they carry materials, they may sink together. There must be high-speed transport ships that do not carry armed. Please look carefully. It is said that there are a large amount of ice crystals in the cargo, and the transport ship should have a deep draft."
"There is a frigate with a deep draft. Could it be it?"
"It may be it. Use a crystal communicator to transmit its image to other warships. Try to avoid attacking the ship when attacking."
"knew."
I shouted to the other players above: "Surveying and Mapping Team."
"exist."
"Measure the speed of enemy ships, mark the water flow and wind direction information, and publish it to other warships immediately."
"yes."
Pick up the phone and order all warship guns: "All naval guns are loaded with high-explosive armor-piercing shells, ready to accept coordinate allocation, and adjust the firing angle." Then he said to the fog beside him: "Order the fleet to stand by on the edge of the fog."
"clear."
Mist is the commander-in-chief of the Undead Fleet, and she can communicate directly with the evil spirits on the ghost ship from a distance. Those ghost ships do not have crystal resonance communicators, so they have to use fog to replace the communication command center.
The net has been spread out, just waiting for the Japanese to get into it.
Hongyue asked: "Does the ship-based protective cover need to be activated?"
"It's still a little early, I'll open later."
"OK."
The entire fleet remained absolutely silent, and everyone was waiting for the Japanese to drill their pockets.
"The enemy slowed down!" The report from the observation room made everyone nervous.
"Detailed report." I ordered.
"The distance is 24 kilometers, and the speed has dropped to twenty-eight knots, and it is slowing down."
"Don't worry, it's normal. It's just the normal reaction of the Japanese when they see heavy fog."
I just finished speaking and reported from above: "The enemy ships began to change formations."
"What has it become?"
"The main battleship has stopped the ship from anchor, and all the light battleships are spread out and moving forward."
"Where is the frigate that acts as a transport ship?"
"Stopped with the battleship."
I finally couldn't help but climbed into the observation room to see the situation of the enemy ships, which was more intuitive. The Japanese were really cunning. They kept the distance between the warships at the limit of the sea private chat system, so that they could just ensure that the commands were conveyed without getting too close.
These light warships are clearly split in order to detect if there are enemies in the fog, but we will not be discovered. With the fog around me, we can know the location of the Japanese warships at any time. Anyway, the Japanese are afraid of getting lost and dare not move around. As long as our warships keep their position and do not approach their channel.
"fog."
"What order the master?"
"Strengthen the fog outside."
"How strong are you?"
"It's better to be able to see nothing two meters away."
“Do it now.”
The fog outside became thicker and thicker, and the Japanese who entered the fog began to gradually become chaotic. They were basically driving this fog concentration. At the beginning, they could see the outlines of the warship next to each other, and then they could not see anything. All warships were driving based on their feelings.
I sat in my seat and sipped tea and waited for the Japanese to move closer. A few minutes later, the large warships finally couldn't help but start moving. After all, they were already late and there was no time to delay. As the large warships entered the fog, our large net also began to slowly shrink. The fog blocked the view, and all Japanese warships could only use inertial navigation. However, the waves seriously affected the effect of inertial navigation, and some outer warships obviously began to leave the team and spread out.
Captain Takagawa Heihata, the Japanese destroyer Akimizumaru, was muttering: "What the hell is this weather! You can't see anything!"
The first mate next to Hirahachi said, "Do you need to honk the horn to let them lean over?"
"Didn't that reveal your position?"
The first mate said: "It's such a thick fog, even if the Chinese want to ambush, we can't see it. I don't believe that there is any cannon that can aim in such weather."
"You'd better try again if you can get through."
The first mate replied: "It's still not possible. We have exceeded the limit of distance!"
Heihachi cursed, "These idiots told them not to go astray, but they still went astray!"
"What should we do?"
"It's better to honk the whistle! It's better than getting lost."
"yes."
As the whistle sounded on the Akimizumaru, the surrounding battleships pulled the whistle one after another. On the super battleship Emperor located in the center of the fleet, Masaga Matsumoto, the president of the Black Dragon Association, heard the whistle and immediately cursed: "Idiot! Who ordered the whistle to honk?"
"Report to the president. Some of the outer warships were separated and they honked their own whistle. When the other warships heard this, they began to follow the example!"
"Immediately order to stop honking the whistle, and I will throw him into the sea if anyone honks the whistle again."
"But those ships lost contact, and it seemed that they could not reach the conversation."
"Idiot, can't I use a carrier pigeon?"
"But there are too many missing warships."
"Then call it back one by one. Go quickly, or you will be thrown into the sea with you."
"I understand." The first mate rolled and crawled to execute the order.
Masaki Matsumoto cursed to himself in his seat, "It's so fucking weird today. I just left Japan and encountered the damn Frost Rose Alliance warship, which made me so late for so long. Fortunately, they were all small warships and dragged many damaged Korean warships, otherwise it would be really troublesome. But now I'm experiencing such a big fog again, it's so fucking unlucky!"
On the other hand, our ghost ship was slowly inserted into the middle of the Japanese fleet at a precise angle. If there was no fog now, everyone would be surprised to find that the middle of the Japanese warships were divided by the ghost ships and did not rely on each other. But now there is fog here, and no one among the Japanese knew that they had been divided.
According to my requirements, the concentration of the fog began to decrease a little, which was to prepare for the battle that would begin soon. But as the mist faded and dissipated, the shadow of the battleship was also revealed. Tanaka Shota, vice president of the Black Dragon Association on the Yamato, said to Matsumoto Masamoto: "Why are there a battleship on the side?"
Masaki Matsumoto casually turned his head and looked back: "It seems to be the Kikuji number. I send a signal to let them return to the queue to protect the Sakura number. Not only our family, but other guilds are here. If they lose it, we will suffer a lot!"
"I'll contact them now." After a while, Tanaka Shota said to Matsumoto in confusion: "Matsumoto, isn't that Kikuji?"
"Ah? Not Kikuji?" This time Matsumoto Masaki jumped out of his seat and walked to the outside of the bridge and leaned on the railing for a long time before saying, "It seems like yes!"
Tanaka Shota said: "But I just contacted Michiko on Kikuji, and he said he didn't come out in the queue!"
Matsumoto Masaga said in confusion: "That big must be the Mizuru-class battleship. We have only three Mizuru-class battleships in total. The Mizuru was sunk by the damn Chinese Ziri fleet last time. The remaining two were Kikuji and Liushen. But the Liushen is on our left! Why did you run to the right?"
Tanaka Masato said with uncertainty: "We didn't go astray ourselves, right?"
Masaga Matsumoto walked back to the bridge and asked, "Did we go astray?"
The helmsman looked at the ruler and said, "It shouldn't be!"
"Then why did we get to the left of Liushen number?"
"Ah?" the helmsman said strangely: "Is Liushen number behind us?"
"What? Left rear?"
"Yes! I just contacted the helmsman on Liushen a minute ago. It's not that fast if I have to go against it!"
Matsumoto Masaga ran to the left railing on the left side of the bridge and looked to the rear left, but he really saw a huge ship shadow. He rushed back to the right railing. "It's strange! If the Liushen is there, what kind of ship is this? Is it an enemy ship? No!" Masaga Masaga just guessed the correct answer and nodded himself, because he didn't believe that anyone could penetrate the intensively sailing fleet, let alone such a large warship.
"Can it be the Yulu? That guy is not young." Tanaka Shota asked.
Masaga Matsumoto shook his head. "Look at that bridge, it is unique to the Mizuru-class battleship. There are only three ships in the world that have such bridges, so it's not wrong. Besides, the Yulu doesn't have so many cannons."
Just as Matsumoto Masaga and Tanaka Masata were worried, the mist suddenly faded again. The huge gold-plated ship name and number on the warship appeared in their eyes. The two of them reacted differently when they saw the name. Tanaka Masaga pointed at Shinaka for a long time and tried to speak, but no sound was made. Masaga Masaga lowered his head and rubbed his eyes hard, and then stared at the warship and looked at it.
"This...this...this...there is no water dew? Isn't it sinking?" Tanaka Shota finally put up a complete sentence.
Masaga Matsumoto nodded and said, "I was on the boat when it sank, and I hung up once for this. But... but why did it come here?"
Tanaka Masata suddenly pointed at the battleship. "Look at the flag."
Masaki Matsumoto glanced at the flagpole and was immediately startled. "Pirates?" He turned around frantically to inform the ships of preparation for combat, but it was too late now.
The fog has dropped to a certain concentration. Although the Japanese still can't see clearly, there is a dedicated observation room on our battleship, and this concentration no longer affects our battle. Sitting on the Tyrant, I slowly put down my teacup, stood up and moved my body, and then ordered: "Let's start!"
The mist immediately notified the ghost warships with the contact information of the undead: "The hunting operation begins. Let go of the frigate carrying gems, and other warships shoot at will."
Our King of Chuang also issued an order to other warships through communication crystal: "Starting the hunting begins, each ship should pay attention to the hidden position, support the undead warships, and do not move forward. Be careful not to hit the gem transport ship, and the coordination and command will be handed over to this ship, and the mechanical distribution system will automatically guide the artillery fire."
"I understand." The captains of each ship replied at the same time.
Boom! As the Tyrant fired its first shot, the quiet battlefield suddenly became lively. The warships we had prepared long ago showed their power almost at the same time. The artillery fire management system from Atlantis showed excellent performance. Information about the target position was constantly transmitted from the crystal communicator in the cannons of each ship. Each gun was directly commanded by the flagship. There would be no large number of shells was wasted on a ship, and there would be no lucky people who were not taken care of. The firepower dispersed control system perfectly ensured the maximum lethality of the fleet. Although shells sometimes misfired, their target was correct after all. The advantage of the undead fleet's close-fitting attack is that we don't have to worry about accidental injury. Anyway, as long as the magic crystal cannon and magic light cannon do not fire, the artillery will not hurt the ghost ship.
