Remember [New] for a second,! The roar of naval guns has never been so pleasant!

From the sailors at the bottom to the captain's room on the bridge, everyone was immersed in the rhythm of the roar of naval guns.

After so many years, Gafra's warship can finally roar in the sea again!

Pride, rooted in the bone marrow, began to spread outward, and people became more attentive as a result.

Pride is a powerful force, inner strength, it can help people build strong self-confidence, and this is also the secret of Gefra's navy across the sea for many years!

When the inner strength is strong enough, miracles can be created!

After more than ten seconds, countless plumes of smoke rose from the far coast, and vaguely, the bombarded area seemed to even shake the earth!

This is the ultimate force deterrence of Gavra against countries with coastlines!

It takes a long time to build a port, but to destroy it, it only takes one refill!

The breech block was pulled open, the huge shell was ejected, and a new round of shells was loaded. After recalibrating the coordinates, the flag-bearer waved the flag in his hand vigorously.

The hull swayed slightly, disrupting the rhythm of the waves, and the waves after the roar made the sailors almost unsteady!

The coastal ports were shelled again!

Just these two shellings, it will take at least half a year to a year to repair this place.

The planes in the sky were still trying to break through the blockade of firepower, and a group of planes appeared again in the distance.

The planes seemed to be different from the ones that were trying to break through, and the lookout soon notified the main ship.

The commander observed those planes through the highest magnification binoculars, and he also showed a puzzled expression.

At present, the mainstream aircraft in the world adopt the method of hanging in the ammunition, whether it is a bomb or something else, if it is placed outside the fuselage, it is not impossible, but it will obviously slow down the flight speed.

And when some flight actions are performed, the instability of the fuselage is caused.

Putting it in the cabin can reduce the occurrence of various accidents.

But these planes are different, that huge thing hanging under the fuselage looks... a little strange.

It's not like that ordinary aerial bomb.

Gavra's Air Minister took advantage of his goodwill with the Commonwealth to visit the "Flight Research Institute", the most advanced federal aviation industry. Among the weapons on display were some unused bombs.

Like a giant bomb codenamed Tamer!

But no matter how these bombs change, its shape doesn't change much, and experts from the Imperial Royal Academy have also admitted this.

The stable shape is conducive to the accurate landing of the bomb around the target people need when it falls. The best way is to make the head slightly heavier.

But the bombs hanging from the planes in front of me seem to be... a little different, their shape is too symmetrical, at least that's what I see from the telescope!

"They lowered the height!"

Some officers exclaimed in a low voice, those planes were actually still a long way from the fleet, but they had lowered their altitude early, and they didn't seem to be much higher than the ships.

This is surprising!

You know, at such an altitude, the lethality of the anti-aircraft guns will be able to tear apart the fuselage of these aircraft in an instant, why would they do this?

The commander didn't quite understand it, but he knew that, in any case, these planes shouldn't get too close to the fleet.

Then he picked up the intercom and asked to free up some firepower to prevent these planes from getting too close to the battleship!

The speed of the battle is far faster and more shocking than the words.

A large number of planes flew over almost close to the sea. Seeing that they had already entered the range, the anti-aircraft guns began to breathe fire, and one after another machine artillery shells shot out and immediately disrupted the formation of the low-flying planes.

It did stop some of the planes from coming, but it couldn't stop all the planes from coming.

If anti-aircraft guns were so effective, aircraft would not have a separate service in each country.

When more than a dozen aircraft broke through the fire blockade and approached the fleet, they suddenly made a pull-up action!

As if rushing over at a huge risk, just to pull up at a closer distance? !

No, not right!

The bombs hanging on the belly of these planes disappeared, and the lookouts, observers, and even the commander on the main ship were stunned.

What are they doing?

Why rush over and drop the bomb in the sea?

Because they can't handle the enormous pressure?

Just when people were thinking about something, the lookout at the top made a hysterical cry--

"Torpedoes, those planes dropped torpedoes!"

Just as the commander just reacted, an air defense ship on the flank of the fleet suddenly "jumped".

Obviously, this kind of military ship is not a living thing, and it has no legs, so it is impossible to really jump up by itself.

And here is the sea, even if it has legs, it can't jump.

The reason why it gives the feeling of jumping up comes from a torpedo!

The sea surface around the hull appeared violently oscillating ripples, and after the hull "pressed" down, it began to tilt!

Those planes dropped torpedoes!

And these air-dropped torpedoes are the trump card for the Pongio Empire to deal with Gafra, including the Federal Fleet!

They can't catch up with Gefra and the Federation in the navy itself, and even if they build a sea fortress, they can't catch up with these two countries.

Then the only thing that can narrow the gap between the two sides is the airdrop torpedo!

Emperor Pongio and everyone should thank Lynch and the Flight Research Institute. The birth and rapid development of military aircraft allowed Emperor Pongio to see a way to restrain the Galvra Armada.

Not only is it an effective solution, it's also cheap!

Compared with the long construction period and cost of manufacturing an entire fleet, the cost of the aircraft is obviously much cheaper, and it can even be said to be a consumable.

Penggio's aircraft development direction is mainly focused on the strategic intention of the ground and the sea, and the air to the air is not so important!

Because at the current stage, the biggest threat to them is the navy of Gefra and the Federation. Only by solving these problems first can they be qualified to talk about deeper tactics and strategies.

Gathering the best experts and scientists of the entire Pengio Empire, the Sword of God-Slaughter was successfully developed.

It has a total length of 3.61 meters, weighs 1,550 pounds, and has a maximum speed of 31 knots after entering the water. It is called "a long sword capable of slaughtering gods"!

In order to make this obviously overweight torpedo enter the use stage smoothly, the Pengios also specially developed a short-distance heavy-duty torpedo machine specially used to launch it.

Although you can only carry one at a time, this is enough for the Pengio Empire!

They have many people and many planes. There is not much difference between taking off one and a hundred at a time!

And the results also proved the value of this airdrop torpedo, all the investment in it is worth it!

The fleet responded quickly and some ships began to reverse course, but the speed of the torpedoes was too fast and they were dropped quite close.

Then two more warships were unfortunately hit and stopped slowly.

At any time, the loss of power of the battleship means that it will become the target of the next focus, and the face of the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet is particularly ugly.

As soon as they entered the strait, they encountered such a huge loss, which was completely unimaginable to them!

Even if they are mentally prepared!

"Move the anti-aircraft ships to the flanks and the periphery, and concentrate on intercepting these planes that can drop torpedoes!"

The officer issued the order without hesitation. Undoubtedly, this will make the anti-aircraft ship more dangerous, but the result of the anti-aircraft ship being hit is better than the result of being hit by the main ship.

The commander sighed, in fact, before that, there was an issue being discussed within the navy.

Whether warships need to be equipped with air defense equipment, after all, many people think that the next thing is the air force.

Once the aircraft is used in naval warfare, this kind of arms without obvious natural enemies will pose a great threat to the fleet.

However, installing anti-aircraft artillery on all warships will obviously squeeze the positions that are not ample, and will also squeeze storage space and increase some burdens.

This is also the reason for the birth of air defense ships. After research, they intend to solve the problem of insufficient air defense capabilities through this special ship method.

Equipped with more anti-aircraft ships, it is fully capable of assisting the fleet to solve the problem of air strikes——

It's worth noting that the Gefrans did exactly that.

Intensive anti-aircraft guns make it difficult for long-range bombers to get too close to the fleet. In fact, the role of anti-aircraft guns is not entirely to destroy these bombers, but to expel them!

From the first stage, it does its job well.

But the question is, what if the bombs dropped by those planes would run themselves?

They hadn't thought about it before, but now they have.

Destroy the fleet directly by dropping torpedoes, while sidestepping the problem of Pongio's weakness in the navy.

Their battleships did not even appear anywhere in sight ~lightnovelpub.net~ to accomplish their strategic goals.

The commander was a little upset.

Is the era of fleets coming to an end?

In fact, he is still faced with a choice, whether to continue the fight or withdraw.

If the battle continues, it means that there may be greater losses. At the same time, because the expected strategic plan has not been achieved this time, the political intention of the island has not been completed, causing some unpredictable disturbances.

But if you continue to attack, there will inevitably be more losses!

Just when he was in a dilemma, someone reminded him.

"We can ask the federal people for help, this is Dongdayang!"

After the officer's reminder, the commander suddenly woke up!

He pointed to the officer and exhaled heavily, "Help me contact the federal garrison nearby..."

Not long after, the Ministry of National Defense received news that the Gavra fleet, which was on a combat mission in the Bullhorn Strait, requested the assistance of the Air Force...
