Chapter 1299, close the door and beat the dog
In this era before submarines, the existence of water lizard warriors has undoubtedly made the Yangtze River Fleet's battles more flexible, and at the same time, it has made their enemies feel defenseless.
As early as the moment when the enemy fleet was confirmed to appear from a distance, Yuan Xi had already ordered the entire underwater combat force composed of water lizard warriors to dive into the sea.
The subsequent actions of the Yangtze River Fleet seemed to be to avoid the bombardment of the enemy Europa Fleet, but in fact the main purpose was to lure them to the arranged minefield, which is why the current scene occurred.
After the underwater combat troops deployed the mines, according to the situation at the time, they had no time to escape. Therefore, they did not choose to escape. Instead, they directly started a deep dive on the spot and dived deeper into the sea.
Use this to avoid the impact of the mine explosion, and then evacuate slowly.
At this moment, Lal Chirac, who had already realized that he had run into a minefield, looked gloomy.
In the current situation, he had no time to worry about the fact that there were not so many mines here.
Thanks to these mines, if they move at will, they will run the risk of 'stepping on mines' if they are not careful. If they do not move, they will become a living target of the Yangtze River Fleet. The current situation can be said to be a dilemma.
.
With such an excellent counterattack opportunity in front of him, Yuan Xi certainly could not be soft-hearted. All the main guns of the eight battleships frantically aimed at the battleships of the enemy Europa fleet and opened fire.
The plan is to use this wave of counterattack to sink a few ships.
After enduring the baptism of fire from the Yangtze River Fleet, the only way at present is probably to go back the same way in order to evacuate this minefield.
However, this steel battleship is not a bicycle. It can turn around as soon as it is turned, let alone a whole steel fleet. You can imagine how much noise it will cause.
But they had no choice. Did they really stop there and get beaten? In order to escape from this minefield, even if they knew there were mines there, they had no choice but to step on it.
The mines triggered along the way continued to make roaring explosions, and some destroyers with too thin armor almost sank on the spot after being hit by several rounds in a row.
As for the battleships of Europa, they were under the special care of the Yangtze River Fleet. The luxurious combination of bombardment and mines meant that they had no time to care about others and could only rush forward to get out of this deadly minefield.
.
But is it really that easy to escape?
This underwater combat force of the Yangtze River Fleet is more flexible than any underwater combat force in human history!
Returning the way we came? Did they not expect that?
Before the Europa fleet was about to crash into the minefield, the water lizard warriors had already dived into the deep sea and escaped from that area.
Then, after quietly surfacing to the sea and taking a breath, they rather unceremoniously placed all the remaining mines on the Europa fleet's retreat path...
The skill of "closing the door and beating the dog" was performed quite smoothly with the help of the water lizard warriors.
Compared with the Europa Fleet, which is busy taking care of itself, how can the output environment of the Yangtze River Fleet at this moment be described as "comfortable"? It is simply too comfortable.
In this state, the Europa fleet's counterattack was completely inaccurate and could not pose much of a threat to them. The only thing they needed to do at this time was to fire with all their strength!
"The deck is on fire, put out the fire quickly!"
"General! Destroyer No. 017,023 sank!"
"The cabin of battleship No. 011 has begun to flood. Where is the shipman? Come here quickly!"
"The main gun on the bow of battleship No. 006 was damaged and cannot be used!"
"Damn it, the engine is on fire!"
"Warning! Warning! Battleship No. 011 is about to sink. All personnel must leave! All personnel must leave!!"
"..."
It sucks, this just sucks!!!
Lal Chirac, who was on the battleship Charlemagne, the main flagship of the Europa fleet, bit the bullet and signaled his fleet to continue breaking through.
In the current situation, making sacrifices is inevitable.
Lal Chirac gritted his teeth and made a move to save the battleships and let several seriously damaged destroyers go to mines, thus clearing a safe sea route.
Under the roar of mine explosions and the suppression of the main guns of the Yangtze River Fleet battleships, the Europa Fleet, in a panic, braved casualties and forcibly broke through an entire mine field.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the scene in front of them directly plunged them into the abyss of despair!
At this moment, they saw a whole group of destroyers maintaining a single column formation, speeding past them sideways.
At the same time, the entire fleet began to dump firepower at the same time, and the triple torpedo launchers installed on the ships were activated one after another. A large number of torpedoes directly created a dividing line of death!
The Europa fleet, which had just escaped from death one moment, witnessed a hellish scene the next moment.
The destroyer that rushed ahead and was already scarred was instantly bombarded and torpedoed by the enemy destroyer fleet, and was mercilessly destroyed in the shocking explosion!
In the command room of the Charlemagne, this series of methods had made Lal Chirac's expression extremely ugly.
"Let the outer fleet deal with those destroyers, and all the battleships will focus on the enemy battleships!"
After gritting its teeth and surviving a series of fierce attacks by the Yangtze River Fleet, the scarred Europa Fleet quickly launched a counterattack.
Looking at the slowly turning main guns of the Europa battleships, Yuan Xi did not dare to be careless and said quickly...
"Notify the entire fleet to avoid enemy bombardment."
Although many battleships in the Europa fleet on the opposite side are already emitting black smoke, but at such a long distance, even Yuan Xi cannot know how much combat power the opponent's fleet has left, and he always has to confirm carefully.
Ichiban is.
Moreover, when they were chased and beaten by the Europa fleet, they were not completely unscathed.
After all, the huge size of the battleship is there. When faced with intensive naval gun attacks, no one can avoid it, and they will inevitably be hit by a few shells.
Generally, a warship that can survive a naval battle in which both the enemy and the enemy are evenly matched can be called a miracle ship.
Now back to the topic, the Europa fleet's counterattack quickly began.
On the Yangtze River Fleet's side, the rapidly evacuated formation made them more able to evade.
In the previous indiscriminate bombardment, the shelling of their Yangtze River fleet should have caused damage to the main guns of the enemy battleships, because at this time Yuan Xi could clearly feel that the opponent's firepower had weakened.
After confirming this, Yuan Xi issued the order again, and the firepower of the Yangtze River Fleet roared again, and the tyrannical offensive was fully launched at this moment!
