Red Alert: Calamity Era
Chapter 588: trouble?
"Damn it! Damn it! What to do? Why is that ship looking at us?"
In the cockpit of an ironclad ship, Keville looked terrified and looked quite ugly.
Although his fleet had left the main force and fled to the northeast, his fleet was spotted by the enemy warship that had been following them.
During the battle, the enemy warship had sunk two warships under his command, and their attack did not even hurt the opponent's fur.
The distance is too far, and the accuracy of the naval gun has been greatly affected. If you want to hit, you can only use the number to cover the shooting.
However, the coverage shooting needs to be built under intensive artillery fire. Bentley’s battleship only has three naval guns. Even if several battleships fire in a coordinated salvo, it is far from reaching the ideal firepower.
"It's a torpedo, it must be a torpedo, only a torpedo has that power!"
Kevel Nannan muttered to himself, looking very ugly.
Kewell is no stranger to torpedoes. Although Bentley does not own them, they are described in detail in military textbooks.
It is an anti-ship weapon and a toy of a big country. Only powerful and precise craftsmanship can make the small power unit needed by the torpedo.
Bentley’s craftsmanship can only make power furnaces for vehicles, which is the limit of minimization. Due to backward craftsmanship, Bentley’s warships, a major killer torpedoes, are not assembled.
Can't go on like this!
In terms of speed, one's own warship is far inferior to the enemy's. In terms of firepower, the gap is even greater. If you don't try to escape, sooner or later his warship will be wiped out by the enemy's warship!
Especially the enemy warships pursued by the rear, once they are allowed to catch up, the fleet under his command can only be "destroyed".
Kewell understands his current situation.
"Damn slave! My Bentley fleet is destroyed in his hands!"
Thinking that the situation was caused by the slave, Keville couldn't help cursing.
"Commander! The enemy is strong and we are weak! Now we can only do our best to evacuate. Although the warship is strong, there is only one. In terms of quantity, we have an advantage. Therefore, the warship dare not approach and can only rely on the main gun. Stop us from a long distance!"
Beside Kevir, an officer said calmly that he was the captain of this warship.
After a little pause, he continued: "I have observed that although the main gun on that battleship is strong, it is also very difficult to sink our ironclad ship, and that kind of "torpedo" weapon, although powerful, has an attack method. It is also very concealed, but the attack wave is very slow, and it is not necessary. As long as we are more vigilant, it is not very difficult to avoid torpedo attacks. Now our biggest enemy is the fleet pursuing from the rear. We must find a way to drag it until dark. Only under the cover of the dark night can we escape the enemy’s pursuit!"
The captain's reminder made Kewell's eyes light up, and he quickly said: "Yes! Yes! It's dark, once it gets dark, we can escape the enemy's sight smoothly in the dark!"
"Order to go down! Pay attention to the sea surface and be alert to the enemy's torpedo attacks! So the warship is sailing at full speed, do not consider the life of the power furnace, and run at maximum power!"
"Yes! I will notify the captains of each ship immediately!"
The sea is vast and boundless, and a chase battle is taking place.
The huge fleet has been separated, the two fleets are divided into three, and the distance between the three is slowly moving away.
On one side, the "rumbling" of cannons had already sounded, and the roar of explosions echoed in the sky. Although the battle was not fierce, it also broke the tranquility of the sea.
The other two parties seemed much quieter.
The distance between the two sides is still far apart. In terms of speed, the warships of the First Legion far surpass each other, but in the vast sea, it takes a certain amount of time to catch up with the enemy fleet and enter the combat area.
Even if the fleet sails at full speed, it cannot catch up with the enemy in a short time.
After all, the speed of a ship is relatively slow, even if it sails at a high speed of 36 knots, the time required to catch up with the enemy fleet that flees by sailing more than 20 knots is not short.
The sea was rippling, and the high-speed warship disturbed a large area of the sea.
Withdrawing his gaze from a distance, looking back at General Natasha next to him, Yevrich said: "General! It is probably less than two hours before dark. Once night falls! I am afraid this chase will end. !"
The dark night is the enemy of mankind, it will disturb the sight of mankind, and it is also the time when sea beasts are active.
Although the First Legion has night vision goggles that can see things clearly in the dark, the distance covered by the night vision goggles is limited, and the First Legion will also be affected by the darkness.
In the dark, even if the threat of the "sea beasts" is not considered, the First Legion is very likely to lose the enemy fleet.
In addition, the weather at night is unpredictable. If a storm occurs, the chase will be affected even under severe weather conditions.
What should I do?
Once the enemy fleet is allowed to escape, those warships will undoubtedly be a big trouble for the next battle against Bentley's homeland.
trouble?
As if thinking of something, Natasha felt a little relieved, and those battleships might not be a problem for the First Legion.
In a head-on confrontation, even if their size is more than several times the size of the First Army's fleet, they are still not the opponent of the First Army.
Once the enemy fleet successfully escapes this time, where will they go?
It's impossible to stay on the sea, they don't have the guts.
There is only one place for them, and that is to huddle in the port and use the port’s fortifications to fight against the fleet of the First Army.
After seeing the power of the First Army Fleet, this was their only choice.
As long as they huddled in the harbor, for the First Army, their qualifications for harassment would have been lost.
Because for the port city of Bentley, once an all-out war occurs, the First Army will of course blockade it.
Once blocked, those warships hiding in the harbor cannot move at all.
Thinking of this, Natasha asked Jevrich next to him: "At our speed, can we catch up with them before dark?"
