"Order Storm Haiyan to pay attention to the ship distance! She drilled too deep!"

　　 "The Grey hits face-to-face, the mainmast of Brigentine is broken, the victory is divided!"

　　 "The black-billed gull was flanked, let her return... hit! Report! The black-billed gull was hit by a shotgun, and the casualties were heavy!"

　　 Katerina's brows twitched: "Who is near the black-billed gull?"

　　 "The White Pelican and Hydrangea are both nearby. The White Pelican is 600 NE 600, opposite Brigentine 1, Skuner 2. Hydrangea 330 SE, opposite Brigentine 2."

　　 "Hydrangea can't get rid of the opponent in a short time..." Catalina groaned for a moment, "Let the white pelican disperse face-to-face, rescue the black-billed gull, and take the black-billed gull back to the main line."

"Yes!"

　　 The legend made the sailor run away quickly, Katerina turned her head and looked at the battlefield filled with gunpowder.

　　 "Really... ants kill elephants."

　　 The battle of the main line officially kicked off from the moment the Skull Bay United Fleet appeared.

　　 Drake’s direct fleet has an advantage in detail with its single-ship combat power, but because of the lack of numbers, it is at a disadvantage across the board in the overall situation, with fewer enemies everywhere.

　　 The pirate ship’s job is to plunder.

　　 In the face of merchant ships, pirate ships need to be flexible, high-speed, and fast to pick up the ship, seize the ship, and keep the prey as intact as possible.

　　Because in terms of value, the merchant ship itself is often more valuable than the cargo on board.

　　 Therefore, in the selection and modification of pirate ships, pirates are more inclined to pursue speed and balance, even big pirates like Blackbeard are no exception.

　　He pursued heavy firepower, firstly because of the development trend of pirate wars, and secondly because his scale had already jumped out of the traditional art of pirates, and he began to pursue the great word "power".

　　 Skull Bay combined fleet fully reflects the situation of pirates.

Except for the dragon-like fifth-class galen, which is based in the distance, the remaining 24 ships are led by two 40-meter-class Baghs, 14 Brigentine, and 10 high-speed Skuner, neither focusing on the sea. The Brig ship in the artillery battle did not overly weaken the single-ship combat effectiveness of the Slup ship.

　　 Their ships are mainly nine pounds and six pounds, and only the Bagh ship is equipped with a small amount of twelve pounds.

　　 This makes the direct fleet, which is dominated by Brig ships and has more elite crews, have an absolute advantage in one-on-one battles.

　　 But the big ship’s heavy artillery has never been invincible on the ocean. Lorraine gave a perfect answer to this point as early as Cantabrian.

　　 In one-on-one battles, the pirates may be far from their opponents directly under the ships, but they have three to four times the number advantage. As long as they implement the tactics of entanglement and connection, the Drakes can't say victory or defeat lightly.

　　 They must always be vigilant, vigilant against pirates forcibly connecting the sides, and vigilant against sudden side cutting and high-projectile bombs. Any negligence will lead to irreparable and heavy losses, and the careless black-billed gull is the best negative teaching material.

　　 At the time, she was fighting one enemy four, and her opponents included two Brigentine and two Skuna ships. As her support unit, Storm Haiyan was one enemy three at a position less than 500 southeast of her.

　　 This is a very healthy ship distance for a round formation that is naturally defensive. Both ships can focus their attention on one side, and any opponent's attempt to cut the side to the other side will throw themselves into the most suitable shelling distance for the two Brigs at the same time.

　　 But Storm Haiyan hid after only half an hour from the start of the war.

　　 She lost her support position and chased her opponent farther and farther, suddenly increasing the distance between herself and the black-headed gull to more than 1000, and the black-headed gull knew nothing about this.

　　 There was a Brigentine that cut the side from the port side and suddenly jumped to the black-headed gull's defensive corner. With a beautiful round of high toss, three shotguns were thrown onto the black-headed gull's deck at the same time.

　　 It is impossible to estimate the specific casualties.

　　 Including the captain and most of the seamen, at least 70 people gathered on the black-headed gull's deck when it was shot. A storm of iron **** and fragments swept across the entire rear deck, and the black-headed gull instantly lost its combat capability.

　　 Fortunately, the White Pelican exceeded Catalina’s expectations.

　　 After receiving the rescue order, the white pelican resolutely launched an assault in the opposite direction of the black-billed gull for the first time.

　　 This action completely missed the opponent's expectation. The Skuna ship in front of the White Pelican couldn't retreat and was hit by a twelve-pound gun at a distance of 50 meters.

　　 The Skuna ship broke, and the White Pelican completed a series of re-sail, steering, and acceleration processes during the assault, and went straight to Brigentine, who was entangled with him.

　　 The two ships crossed in the middle of the sea, and exchanged a round of full shelling at a distance of 100 meters.

　　 The white pelican was bombed at two places on the hull, and at the same time he smeared his opponent's face with his shot and chain bullets.

　　Brigentin stalled due to a broken mast. The minimally invasive white pelican forced away the last opponent and drew a large arc to the center line of the black-billed gull and her opponents.

　　 Five minutes later, the black-billed gull barely escaped the boarding and swayed towards the main line under the cover of the White Pelican and Hydrangea.

　　 "The perfect rescue..." Catalina admired the fighting white pelican. "What is her captain's name?"

"Favna. Han Ji." The staff hurried through the seamen's files. "The second daughter of Mr. Han Ji, a Pennsylvania farmer, is the fourth-generation pioneer of the New World. Her uncle is the Pennsylvania trade manager of the Caribbean branch. She paid for herself in 1978. Entered the intermediate school, transferred to the command department of the senior school in 1981, graduated as the second grade in 1984, and was assigned to the White Pelican as the second mate. At the beginning of the year, he was released as the captain, and then he was promoted to captain."

　　 Katerina was taken aback for a while: "Captain Han Ji...female?"

　　 It’s not to blame Katerina to feel strange about this matter.

　　 The Drake Chamber of Commerce does not excessively discriminate against women because of Lorraine. For example, Katerina, she herself is the unique female admiral of the Chamber of Commerce.

　　 But the big social atmosphere is there after all. There are not many women working in the industry, and most of them yearn for civilian jobs on land.

　　 There is also the issue of gender guidance in chambers of commerce schools. The women's courses in elementary and intermediate schools are mainly social and trade, and their futures are basically limited to the land if they enter a job through school.

　　 But Captain Han Ji actually graduated from the Advanced Command Division...

　　 Katerina took the file from the staff and looked through it.

　　 In the same period, the middle school was ninth in marketing, social...forty-four. Favna Hanji's major is very bad, but she herself took shipping and command as an elective, ranking second and first respectively in the same period.

There is her own application form on the file, and the franchise signature below is Carmen Xavier. In other words, it was Carmen who licensed her to be promoted to the senior command department. This was the first person who might be the first self-produced by the Drake Chamber of Commerce. Female captain.

"I know for the first time that the school students are part of the association's assets..." Catalina murmured, putting aside the file, "Let this high-quality asset come to see me after the battle. Also, Grey's How is the situation?"

"It's like a bullfighting in the Arena of Madrid, surrounded by matadors and their assistants." The staff officer looked to the southwest with concern. "One-to-eight, Gray can't control his position and has been pulled three kilometers away. , Will soon be out of our field of vision."

　　 "This is also expected..." Catalina rubbed her brows. "Where is Captain Eriksson?"

　　 "In the lower deck, his two deputies went to the Sea Parrot and the Jaeger respectively."

　　 "It seems that he is also ready..." Catalina thought for a while, "How about the black-billed gull casualties?"

　　 "The injury ~lightnovelpub.net~ is very tragic, but fortunately the command system is basically intact. Only the third officer and the director general died in battle."

　　 "Did the wounded be transferred?"

　　 "It has been transferred to the bottom deck of the Alvette."

　　 "Immediately recruit 20 people for them. Tell the captain that he has no time to repair, and immediately go to support the Grey after the staff is repaired."

　　 The staff officer was stunned: "Admiral, their deck is full of blood, even if morale is not taken into account, they are so greasy that they can even run..."

　　 "That's their problem." Catalina looked at the staff member dissatisfied, "Sympathy must be used in the right place, sir. This is the battlefield, and the Alvette is already the most dangerous place on the battlefield!"

　　 "Danger? How could the Arvette be..."

"The Erickson has moved!" The lookout police command interrupted the staff's doubts. "The Erickson launched an assault on the ship, with a speed of six knots, relative to three knots. Storm Haiyan was forced to retreat, Eriksson The wing ships are being assembled, and they are expected to arrive in 15 minutes!"

　　The staff was shocked: "Admiral, the closest to us is the White Pelican, I will immediately let her return to the line!"

　　 "Let Captain Han Ji guerrilla outside."

"what?"

"The ships on the outer lines, the guerrillas approach the Grey, and kill as much as possible the enemy in front of you." Catalina looked at her young staff, "You go to the Black-billed Gull to convey this order. During the Arvette operation, the outside command Decentralize the Grey and execute it immediately."

"Yes Yes!"
