Chapter 1404 Lightning Strike

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The general is outside, and the king's life is not subject to it!

    By the time the report of the expedition fleet was sent to Mingjing City, Wang Sheng had already made some preparations and started the action first.

    After all, it will take a long time for this report to come and go, and it will inevitably be too late to act when the time comes.

    The lightning strike fleet, riding the wind and waves, was searching for today's prey under the night as always.

    After quickly approaching a Fusang fleet and after the first wave of lightning strikes, the commander-in-chief of the Fusang fleet quickly noticed something unusual in their actions.

    Different from the previous style of attack and retreat, this time, the destroyers scattered on the two wings did not directly withdraw from the battlefield, but continued to outflank them in a roundabout way!

    Facing the change of normal behavior of the Thunder Fleet, the commander-in-chief of the Fusang Fleet sank slightly, and then hurriedly shouted

    "The entire fleet stay alert! The peripheral destroyers are ready to launch torpedoes and launch a counterattack!"

    That's right, if you want to dismantle the opponent's anti-torpedo net, the best solution Wang Sheng can think of so far is to launch continuous attacks!

    Wave after wave of consumption is useless.

    Which is more expensive, a torpedo from them or a barbed wire fence on the opposite side?

    Is it easier for them to build a torpedo, or is it easier to build a barbed wire fence on the opposite side?

    There is no need to think about such silly questions.

    Wang Sheng can even be 100% sure that there must be a lot of barbed wire hoarded on the opponent's battleship, even if they change a new one every day, it will be enough for them.

    Therefore, he simply stopped following the other side and took his time.

    After all, the barbed wire is just a barbed wire, and it will be severely damaged after being attacked by a torpedo. Continuous attacks are enough to break through this thin one-time line of defense, and then cause effective damage to the warships under the line of defense!

    Of course, this matter is easy to say, but it is not so easy to actually do it.

    Wang Sheng directly divided the torpedo attacks of the fifteen destroyers under his command into multiple stages according to the number of the battleships. At the same time, he also reduced the number of single torpedo launches for each battleship and increased the number of attacks.

    Although this approach will lose the explosive destructive power and attack coverage area like before, the advantage is that it can make his torpedo attack more effective.

    Do our best to avoid the embarrassing situation where a dozen torpedoes all hit the barbed wire, were triggered in advance, and failed to cause direct damage to the enemy warship.

    At the same time, according to the order of launch, the destroyers that launched the torpedoes first can seize the opportunity and carry out secondary loading.

    The second reloading of torpedoes is actually relatively rare in history.

    After all, as a maritime weapon, torpedoes have a relatively short range compared with those main gun weapons. If a destroyer wants to launch a torpedo attack, it must first rely on its speed advantage to shorten the distance.

    However, the destroyer is a type of warship, and its body is the most fragile among all warship units.

    All kinds of factors are combined. How can a destroyer dare to stop more when facing the enemy fleet at close range?

    It is often the most common way to run after releasing a wave of torpedoes and sailing at high speed.

    At the same time, loading torpedoes during the battle is also a very high-risk move, and if you are not careful, you will suffer.

    Therefore, most of the time, there is basically only one torpedo attack.

    However, there are actually many cases of reloading in history, and the protagonists of these cases are unsurprisingly concentrated on Fusang Navy, who is very good at lightning strikes.

    And at this moment, Wang Sheng is undoubtedly going to use this style of play. Taking risks, on the battleships, regular army soldiers who have received emergency training move quickly one by one.

    Fifteen destroyers launched continuous torpedo attacks directly towards the Fuso Fleet at this moment!

    At the same time, the small naval guns on the hull fired wildly, not to be outdone, venting all their firepower to their heart's content.

    The roar of intensive artillery fire directly brought up a burst of flames, almost completely illuminating this dark sea area!

    Amidst the frantic roar of the commander-in-chief of the Fusang fleet, the Fusang warships began to fight back.

    However, the counterattack of the Fusang fleet raised the chaos level of this sea battlefield by two levels in an instant!

    At this moment, the almost suffocating smell of gunpowder smoke is spreading crazily

    andUnlike the Lightning Fleet, which is scattered on both sides of the battlefield, the formation of the Fusang Fleet is relatively concentrated. However, it is this formation that makes their situation worse at the moment.

    The multi-stage torpedo attack allowed the Lightning Fleet to successfully destroy the anti-torpedo nets around the Fuso Fleet.

    Gradually began to hit the torpedoes of the enemy warships, bursting out the destructive power that should have been there.

    Two ships were directly hit by the torpedo attack destroyer Fuso, and sank on the spot amidst the roar of the explosion!

    This situation is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the Fusang fleet.

    Morale, which was originally stable, dropped significantly at this moment.

    On the other hand, the Thunder Strike Fleet, the tactics were successfully implemented, and the naval soldiers who finally achieved clear results were refreshed.

    Under the ebb and flow, the state actually has a trend of getting better and better!

    During this period, Wang Sheng, who was inside the flagship, was not idle, and directly signaled the two heavy cruisers behind to fire at the Fuso fleet, and even the four light cruisers also fired one after another, going up to join in the fun.

    The low hit rate and insufficient firepower at night are not a problem.

    At this time, Wang Sheng's main purpose is to let the two heavy cruisers and four light cruisers in the fleet attract the attention of the opposing fleet a little bit. It would be even better if they can attract a wave of firepower.

    After all, compared with destroyers at such a close range, heavy cruisers located behind the battlefield have a higher success rate of avoiding enemy shelling.

    However, although the commander-in-chief of the opposite Fuso Fleet has fallen into a roaring state at this time, the person who can sit in this position is not stupid after all. He directly ignored the bombardment and harassment of heavy cruisers and light cruisers, and ordered the entire fleet to attack with concentrated fire.  Destroyers closer to them.

    According to the current situation, attacking destroyers has a higher hit rate, which is naturally one of the reasons.

    But a more important reason is that the destroyer equipped with a torpedo launcher is the core of the attack. Even if only one or two ships are sunk, it can effectively reduce the threat of the enemy's lightning fleet.

    Of course, there is another more important reason, so that he can show a little difference in record. Otherwise, once the situation here is reported back, their Majesty the Emperor will tell him to commit seppuku in a minute?
