Chapter 549: Battle of the North Sea

On the sea full of wreckage, the sharp bow of the Allan Hill Navy’s guided-missile destroyer cut through the waves and, at a very high speed, crashed into a small wooden boat that was 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, Ailan Hill’s giant battleship Victory is using the 406 mm heavy artillery equipped on its battleship to fire at the farther demon battleship.

The sound of artillery shook the ground and the mountains echoed on the sea. With the tracks of white missiles flying in the sky, the entire battlefield seemed very lively.

"Boom!" The Ailan Hill artillery cruiser, which was approaching the Demon Fleet, was firing incessantly. The powerful 203 mm artillery was actually lower in rate of fire than the 406 mm caliber. The gun is much higher, and the ability to dump ammunition is stronger.

In the face of demon warships with poor defensive capabilities, these 203 mm caliber artillery can achieve even more amazing results, and at the same time save more ammunition.

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

The 203 mm caliber shells are different. Even cruisers can carry sufficient ammunition and are not weak against demon warships.

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

At a distance of 20 kilometers, the artillery cruiser's gunfire pouring capability is quite impressive, and it is not weak compared to battleships-the only difference between the two is actually the ability to damage heavy armored targets.

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

However, the devil's warship does not have such heavy armor protection at all, so for the Ailan Hill warship, these thin-skinned targets are more economical to attack with 203 mm caliber artillery shells.

At this moment, the six Ailan Hill artillery cruisers lined up, relying on their powerful firepower, on the path of the demon navy. Constantly using fierce artillery fire, sinking the Demon Navy battleship that was trying to approach it.

Their efficiency is really too high and too high. These warships equipped with mk16 auto-loading naval guns can automatically load shells at any gun elevation angle, maintaining a terrifying rate of fire of 10 shells per minute.

With this super high rate of fire, these cruisers are simply demon warships in the face of slaughter. The opponent had not yet entered the attack range of the magic guided gun, but was hit by these shells with the same terrifying armor-piercing ability, breaking and sinking in the blast.

As this North Sea naval battle progressed, Ailan Hill's main fleet had adjusted its formation, putting out a "v" formation, and the two wings had already sandwiched the demon fleet in the middle.

The mobile, flexible, and higher-speed Allanhill fleet sent out destroyer fleets to harass the periphery, attacking the opponent's flank with cruisers as the main force, and defeating the main force of the demon fleet.

The demon fleet deployed on the two wings was defeated by the battleship fleet commanded by Lawnes, with heavy losses and had to change course in the same way.

But when the Demon Fleet changed its course and tried to break through, only to find that Ailan Hill's Sky Fleet had already reached its side and rear.

After a melee, the left wing of the Demon Fleet was dragged by Maher's 2nd Cruiser Fleet. Although it is still on the offensive, it is already at the end of the battle.

The main force of the demon fleet on the other side was overwhelmed under the attack of Lawnes and Wagron, completely unable to rush to the decoy fleet in the encirclement.

The demon decoy fleet trapped in the V-shape has now been almost eaten. After holding on for so long, they now only have the ability to be beaten.

Standing on the wall of the demon floating castle, the demon general who was in charge of this battle looked at the smoke billowing battlefield with an ugly expression on his face.

Most of his fleet has been eaten, but his own warships that were supposed to be flanking the human fleet in the periphery are still missing.

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

This is very interesting: who is surrounding whom? If such a plan to encircle mankind turned out to be surrounded by mankind, then from the moment the battle began, has the demon fleet already ended?

"Hundreds of warships! How could it be so vulnerable? Order the 4th and 5th fleets to attack the two wings!" He looked at the officer behind him and shouted.

The officer standing behind him looked embarrassed and swallowed a mouthful of saliva before reporting: "My lord... the 4th Fleet has been severely damaged and is unable to get out and turn the bow to fight back."

"What about the 5th Fleet? Huh?" Some angry demon generals asked loudly, "Let the 5th Fleet attack the right flank! Break through the human fleet and cut the connection between them..."

Hearing this unrealistic order, the officer had no choice but to bite the bullet and send the order—but he knew very well that if the 5th Fleet could break through the human encirclement, cut off the opponent’s fleet formation and disrupt the opponent’s deployment, They are not so passive now.

In fact, from the destruction of the 1st Fleet and the 2nd Fleet, it can be seen that the surrounding oneself is caused by the absolute difference in combat effectiveness.

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

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

Those were two guided missile destroyers, which were destroyed by the approach of the demon bat and the dragon because the missiles were exhausted. But then human warships arrived, drove away the demon bats and dragons, and rescued the human soldiers who had fallen into the water.

The only result was achieved by the Air Force, which embarrassed the Demon Fleet. In fact, they have only fired less than a hundred guns since the start of the war. Because of the inferior range of the magic guided gun and the serious flaws in accuracy, most of these attacks did not cause any damage to the human fleet. trouble.

"Damn, when are these **** humans so strong?" This 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.

Before the words he complained about landed, the demon floating castle under his feet suddenly trembled.

Immediately afterwards, when the demon general frowned and opened his mouth to ask the people around what was happening, he felt that the floating castle he was stepping on shivered suddenly, and then it shook violently.

"What the **** is going on? What happened?" He leaned on the crenellation of the city wall, barely stood firm, and shouted loudly, "Check the inside of the castle! Go and see what happened!"

"Boom!" Below the castle core tower in the distance, a huge smoke rose into the air, followed by a deafening explosion, and then the floating magic circle under the demon castle began to weaken.

"The core is smashed!" The demon general who was familiar with the structure of the demon castle suddenly realized that the big thing was not good, but when he realized all this, it was too late to stop the demon floating castle under his feet from going to destruction.

In the next second, he felt something flying by his side, because the speed was so fast that he didn't even hear the sharp breaking wind.

Everything was so quiet, and everything was so fast, almost when the demon general felt something flying by, the thing had passed over where he was standing and crashed into the castle wall.

In an instant, the thing pierced the heavy walls of the castle, pierced a house behind the wall, and pierced the house behind this house.

The huge kinetic energy suddenly shattered these houses. Before the broken rubble fell to the ground, the thing slammed into the core of the castle and was no longer visible.

Without a second, the demon castle that was already collapsing, there was a larger black smoke, and it began to understand the collapse of the body sooner.

"What is that?" The thing that flew past him was so fast that he almost didn't see what it was. So the Demon General looked at his subordinates and asked in horror.

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

No one answered him, because these demons didn't know what had just passed by. They only knew that the thing easily penetrated the reinforced magical defense barrier outside the demon castle, and instantly penetrated the city wall, penetrated the house, penetrated dozens of meters of land, and destroyed the floating castle. Power core.

As a result, in silence, the power core of this huge floating castle could no longer remain stable, and it exploded in an instant. A huge explosion appeared in the sky, and the entire demon castle exploded into countless pieces, like a piece of falling hail, falling on the head of the panicked demon fleet.

And in the sky more than 50 kilometers away, in the sealed artillery control room, the human artillery commander stood in his command position with his back hands behind his back, and shouted with his chin to remind his subordinates: "Change the track... Reloading of the electromagnetic cannon begins!"
