Chapter 1116 Armor-piercing bullet
"Please look, this is the latest super alloy armor-piercing bullet developed by our Far East Military Industry Research Department. There are two models..." Lieutenant Colonel Abigail introduced.
"Ahem!" Director Gordon interrupted him, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, can you really reveal your country's military secrets to us?"
Lieutenant Colonel Abigail smiled and replied calmly: "What I am showing you now is the foreign trade model for export. It will be unveiled at the International Military and Police Products Exhibition next month. Now it is considered to be a GG in advance. If you think the actual combat effect is good, please ask your country's buyers to come to the exhibition."
"Of course there is no problem." Director Gordon breathed a sigh of relief.
Gao Fei picked up the two bullets and identified them with the astrolabe.
The bullet itself does not have any enchanted special effects, but an extremely hard alloy core is embedded inside the lead bullet wrapped in copper.
When the bullet hits the target, the core will penetrate the lead layer and cause an armor-piercing effect. The principle is similar to the depleted uranium bullet in reality.
The larger one is the armor-piercing bullet for rifles, with a caliber of 0.5 inches (12.7mm). When shooting at targets wearing physical armor or with natural armor, it is equivalent to reducing defense by 10 levels.
The smaller one is the armor-piercing bullet for pistols, with a caliber of 0.3 inches (7.62mm). It reduces defense by -5 levels against physical armor or natural armor.
Lieutenant Colonel Abigail generously provided 100 of each type of armor-piercing bullet. Martin was equipped with rifle armor-piercing bullets, and Gao Fei and Jiang Feng shared the pistol armor-piercing bullets.
Jiang Feng also sought help from Lieutenant Colonel Abigail, hoping that the Far East military could provide equipment to fight against dragon power and dragon breath.
Lieutenant Colonel Abigail listened carefully to her request and later agreed to provide four bottles of "heroism potion" and eight bottles of "acid-proof potion", which were shared equally by the four members of the dragon-slaying team.
Taking the former magic potion is like blessing the third ring of "heroism", temporarily immune to all fear effects including "dragon power", and can also obtain the "fast self-healing" physique.
The latter potion is equivalent to a 3-ring "acid-proof barrier". After taking it, it can absorb up to 120 points of acid damage.
After making an appointment for tomorrow's trip, Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin left the police station and went to the theater to invite Eva Vida to join the "Dragon Slayer Team".
Spend the energy of the star disk and quickly switch to the next scene.
The scene changed, and the time was already 4:30 in the afternoon of the next day.
Gao Fei, Jiang Feng and Martin, together with Eva, took an armed patrol boat and arrived at the waters near Nutao Island at dusk according to the scheduled itinerary.
The sunset glow dyed the sea red, and the sound of artillery roared in the distance.
The Far East Navy sent a heavy cruiser as the flagship, four destroyers and frigates, and has blocked the port of Nutao Island.
At first, the pirates tried to resist, and all the armed pirate ships were dispatched in full force. Just looking at the number of ships, it was twice that of the Far East Fleet.
These pirate ships are all modified civilian ships. Their tonnage, armor and firepower are far inferior to those of real warships. They usually bully merchant ships and cargo ships and think they are great. Now they are facing the regular army, which is one of the top three navies in the world in Vares. They are immediately beaten back to their original form.
The number and tonnage of the Far East Navy’s ships are not outstanding among the major powers in Vares. The reason why it can be among the naval powers is mainly due to its huge advantages in military technology.
The nine warships participating in the anti-bandit operation this time are equipped with the most advanced naval weapon of this era, the "magic torpedo".
In the Golden Horn Bay naval battle, the Far East Navy defeated the once powerful Holy Yashan Empire Navy with this secret weapon.
The magic torpedo detached from the launch cabin and, driven by the high-pressure airflow, dragged the snow-white waves and slid towards the armed pirate ship on the opposite side.
The speed of the magic torpedo was as high as 48 knots. When the pirates found that there was an abnormal object approaching from underwater, it was too late to turn the rudder. They could only watch the torpedo hit the side of the ship in despair and explode violently!
Boom!
The pirate ship was blown into two pieces on the spot. The wreckage was pushed into the sky by the huge waves, and then fell heavily. In a blink of an eye, it was swallowed by the waves and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.
The surviving pirates on the ship cried and howled, jumped into the sea one after another, and tried to swim to the beach.
In this two-mile escape route, in addition to fighting against the surging waves, they also had to avoid the shells fired from the warships and the heavy bombs dropped from the Giant Eagle Air Force from time to time.
In this so-called "naval battle", the strength of the two sides was too different, and it looked more like a target practice of the Far East Navy.
The battle lasted just one hour, and all 20 pirate ships sank. Half of them were destroyed by torpedoes, three were sunk by naval guns, and the rest were sunk by bombs dropped by the Far East Giant Eagle Air Wing led by Lieutenant Colonel Abigail.
There were a total of thousands of pirates on the 20 ships, but not many died on the spot. Most of them drowned after falling into the water with injuries. Only one in ten pirates who successfully swam back to the island survived.
After destroying the pirate ships, the Far East Fleet reorganized its formation and entered the port in a dignified manner, bombing various buildings on the island with large-caliber main guns, turning all the streets and houses into ruins.
At the same time, Lieutenant Colonel Abigail led the Giant Eagle Air Force to take off again. Three squadrons were equipped with heavy bombs to carry out bombing missions, and there was a lightly equipped squadron to escort the bombing team.
The bombing target was the barracks of the Raging Pirates.
The well-trained giant eagles took turns swooping down and throwing 500-pound aerial bombs on the roof.
The pirates in the barracks were so scared that they lost their order. They either fled in panic or hid in the house, praying for God's blessing.
Only a few pirates could barely keep calm, climbed onto the roof, and gritted their teeth and shot at the dive-bombing giant eagle.
Such primitive air defense means are of course very inefficient.
Most of the rifle bullets fired at the giant eagle missed, and even if one or two hit, they could not pose much threat to the giant eagle.
The giant eagles serving in the Far East Naval Aviation Force all wore magic collars. When performing bombing missions, they activated the "protective bullets" attached to the collars and obtained 10 points of damage reduction armor against long-range attacks.
Pirates cannot afford expensive magic guns. Bullets hitting giant eagles cannot break through defense in most cases, let alone cause fatal damage to giant eagle airmen wearing astral breastplates.
After two waves of air strikes, the barracks had been bombed into ruins.
Looking down from the sky, the pirates were like countless ants, struggling and fleeing in the sea of fire.
Lieutenant Colonel Abigail led the troops back to the mother ship and sent a letter to James Gordon, informing him that he could lead the Coast Guard Anti-Smuggling Team to launch a landing operation.
