Chapter 719: Incoming target
Devildom, Sea of Storms, and on the flagship of the first cruiser of Alan Hill along the coastline all the way south, Captain Pruneeck is looking at the demon warship in the distance.
A sea of flames had ignited above this demon warship, and two shells hit it, making it look like it is now.
Amazingly, this demon warship was not killed, so it was still on the surface of the sea. On the passing Ailan Hill battleship, many sailors were looking at the demon battleship on the deck, as if they were looking at a landscape.
"No wonder it was a sailing ship without being smashed." Pullen Eike's flagship has a displacement of more than 20,000 tons and is equipped with a standard 203 mm caliber. It is a standard Des Moines-class cruiser.
Its individual combat capability is super strong, and the gun fire rate is super fast. It is the strongest cruiser of the World War II era, and of course one of the largest cruisers.
With only its main gun, it can easily defeat all enemies-this new type of cruiser is also equipped with the most powerful and advanced fire control radar, which can easily hit large targets 20 kilometers away.
"The devil also uses sailboats?" The adjutant put down the telescope in his hand and joked.
After they came to the Demon World, as a patrol fleet outside the core fleet, they had sunk several demon warships.
Most of the time, demon warships are made of steel, and the propulsion system is similar to that of human warships. Using magic liquid as fuel is very dangerous and easy to explode.
These inherent impressions have now been overturned. The devil’s warships also have sailing ships, equipped with old-fashioned ballistas, and their combat capabilities are about the same as the fishing boats currently used by Ailan Hill.
Yes, it is about as few as fishing boats. After all, Ailan Hill's whaling ship also has a ballista, and its range and destructive power may not be much worse than this ancient ballista. Even more exaggerated is that the whaling ships are all steel hulls, and now in Ailan Hill, there are fewer and fewer people using sailing ships.
Of course, sailing is not without it. Now in Ailan Hill, the nobles are keen to own their own yachts and show off their wealth.
Of course, there are two types of yachts, one with a power system, and the other with an old sailing style-both types of boats have their own advantages, but the sailing boat is obviously more playable. This is like a manual transmission car. The driver has some skills and is more topical.
"It seems that their war potential has been completely exhausted." Pullen Eike sighed, and took his gaze back from the sinking sailing ship.
The only reason why this sailing ship has survived until now is because the 203mm-caliber heavy artillery shells passed through its hull and did not explode inside the battleship.
But its sinking will happen sooner or later. After all, no wooden sailboat can withstand the bombardment of a 203 mm caliber artillery.
"These demons really deserve to die... When they flaunted their might, they slaughtered us humans at will. Now that we have risen, they know that the white flag has surrendered." Seeing the dazzling white flag through the telescope, the adjutant said in a cold tone.
"Let the secondary artillery fire... an eyesore." Pullen Eike frowned and ordered.
The adjutant nodded, grabbed the phone next to him, and ordered: "The secondary gun fires! Send those **** to hell!"
"Om!" On the deck on the side of the battleship, the 127mm-caliber twin-mounted secondary artillery used for air defense began to energize and turn, and the two black hole muzzles aimed at the helpless white flag in the flames.
"Fire!" The commander on the gun position ordered softly, and the gunner pressed the fire switch.
"Boom! Boom!" The two artillery shot out flames, and the two shells hit the waterline of the demon sailing ship in the distance.
The huge water column was stirred up, and the wooden sailboat leaned and broke at a speed visible to the naked eye. It couldn't support the tossing anymore, it could no longer carry its own weight, and quickly rolled over on the surface of the sea.
The broken masts, as well as the canvas attached to the masts, were soaked in the sea water, and the demon soldiers on the hull were climbing hard to survive.
However, it is clear that they have no chance to live anymore, and the nearest coastline is hundreds of kilometers away, and there is no way for them to return to land alive.
At this moment, on the outermost side of the entire 1st Cruiser Fleet, an Aegis destroyer for air defense suddenly emitted a thick white smoke. This thick smoke rushed straight into the sky, followed by the second white smoke also rising from the ground.
Those were two "standard" air defense missiles. Obviously, the destroyer had discovered some target and immediately launched an attack on the enemy in the distance.
"Barots found an air target! Very fast!" An officer in charge of contacting saw the real-time information transmitted on his computer monitor and immediately reported it loudly.
"Air force? Extremely fast? Demon missile?" Pullen Eike was taken aback for a moment, then walked to the front of the intelligence analysis screen shared by the data link, and saw the incoming target, approaching his fleet little by little.
"Let the air defense destroyer shoot it down." He gave the order, then walked to the porthole in front of the bridge and looked at the sailing ship that had sunk two-thirds: "Strange, is there anything important on this ship? Things can't be done?"
Just as he asked this unanswered question to himself, the vertical launch system on another destroyer came into operation. Two identical "standard" air defense missiles soared into the sky and flew directly to the distant target. .
Obviously, the two missiles just launched did not hit that target. It was still approaching the fleet continuously, and it seemed that it didn't care about the missiles that came.
"Huh! Huh!" Just when Pullen Eike was in a daze, another missile from the destroyer flew into the sky. The destroyer Barots, which first discovered the target, fired two more missiles in one breath.
"Eight anti-aircraft missiles? Intercept one target?" Pullen Eike is also an veteran navy commander. He has never seen the situation where only one target makes the Aegis destroyer so busy.
At this moment, he felt the severity of the matter-the target was obviously not a demon missile or a demon general, it was obviously a higher-level enemy!
"Om!" The inscription on the hull of the outermost guided missile destroyer began to gleam, and the entire outer layer of the destroyer was covered with a magical defense barrier.
Afterwards, one destroyer after another opened its magical defense barrier, and the 1st cruiser fleet was shrouded in light.
"Squeak..." In the next second, all the battleship's close-in rapid-fire guns pointed towards the sky on one side.

There will be more in a while
