Chapter 1404, the fleet is vertical and horizontal
As the battle lasted longer, the Fuso fleet gradually spread out its formation, intending to fight with them. However, when the fight reached this point, after receiving reports from each warship, Wang Sheng did not intend to continue to accompany them, and directly
A retreat order was issued.
As a special fleet that was determined to engage in lightning strikes from the beginning, Luo Ji naturally wanted to strengthen and upgrade those warships before sending them out.
In addition to upgrading the battleship's equipment and equipment, strengthening this area mainly focuses on the torpedo launcher!
He equipped each destroyer with two quadruple torpedo launchers, which increased the firepower of lightning strikes in the most direct way.
Including the spare torpedoes, after being disassembled and used, the number of attacks can naturally be greatly increased.
However, even so, the number of torpedoes is very limited.
Wang Sheng had no intention of continuing to fight against the opponent with the help of the destroyer's powerful small guns after all the torpedoes were used up.
At this time, it is natural to withdraw more simply.
At the same time, it is a pity that in this late-night sea area, it is so difficult to see even the water lizard warriors. The risk is too high.
Otherwise, Wang Sheng would like to give the opponent a luxurious combination of mines and torpedoes!
Relying on the speed advantage of the small fleet, the opponent with several battleships could not catch up with him. Wang Sheng left quickly and rushed overnight to join the supply ship at the rear.
The location where they were at this time was a small, uninhabited island.
The terrain is a bit complicated, and it may be difficult for large warships to get in. It is a pretty good hiding place.
At this moment, Wang Sheng's lightning strike fleet is resting here.
Compared with the previous times when they were able to escape almost unscathed, in last night's battle, due to the change in fighting style and the extension of the fighting time, losses were inevitable on their side.
At that distance at that time, if we didn't leave immediately, it would be inevitable to be hit by several shelling rounds. It has been confirmed that nine destroyers were slightly damaged and three destroyers were moderately damaged. Fortunately, in the night environment,
The opponent was not lucky enough to sink them directly.
When going on an expedition, the requirements should not be too high. The goblin engineers who went out with the fleet were currently conducting emergency repairs on their damaged warships. The lightly damaged destroyers could be repaired quickly, but the ones with moderate damage could be repaired quickly.
Three ships obviously need more time. Looking at the situation, they have to calm down for a while.
However, Wang Sheng was able to calm down, but the commander-in-chief of Fuso Fleet, who was attacked by the Lightning Fleet at night last night, could not calm down at all...
After the battle last night, he confirmed the battle damage of the fleet almost overnight. Faced with such a lightning strike, their Fuso fleet was in chaos. Six destroyers were sunk and 11 destroyers were moderately damaged. Among them, a good number died.
Damn it, a torpedo accidentally passed through the gap between the outer battleships and hit the bow of a battleship in their Fuso fleet!
Of course, according to the thickness of the battleship's armor, a torpedo hit on the bow would not cause it to sink, but damage would be inevitable.
Now, more than a dozen warships in the Fuso Fleet under his command are facing the situation of having to return to port for repairs.
During this period, in order to avoid unexpected situations, he will definitely need to mobilize some more warships to accompany him for escort.
From the current location of their Fuso fleet to returning to the port closest to them, it takes almost half a month, back and forth, at least more than a month, not counting the maintenance time.
I'm afraid I won't be able to get out in two or three months.
During this period of time, the number of warships in his fleet will decrease significantly. If he is attacked again in the future, life will probably be difficult.
At the same time, the latest report has been sent to the capital. I don’t know what His Majesty the Emperor will do with him after learning about the situation here...
When he thought of this, his entire face turned pale.
During this period, on the other side, two Europa players, after a period of rest, quickly merged their fleets and acted as a group.
In this sea area that should be considered medium to small, it is too easy to encounter two Europa players, two Fuso players and one Gaul player, a total of five large fleets at sea.
After just one encounter, a naval battle had already begun amidst the roar of artillery fire. The battleships on both sides began to pour out their firepower crazily from an exaggerated distance!
Europa, as a two-in-one fleet, clearly had an advantage in the number of battleships. Its powerful naval gun firepower clearly suppressed the opposing Gallic fleet in just one encounter.
Under the current situation, the Europa fleet rarely seizes the opportunity to attack the opponent alone, so it naturally has to rush to pursue the victory.
The battleship's raging main gun fire soon achieved results, successfully sinking a destroyer of the Gallic fleet, which was a good start for this naval battle.
The disadvantaged Gallic fleet did not dare to fight head-on, and fought and retreated all the way. In the case of daytime fighting, the Gallic fleet's own hard power was still considerable. In a short period of time, it would not be defeated by Europa's combined fleet.
extinguished.
The battle fell into a brief stalemate, and then as time passed, a round of naval gunfire swept from the distance, adding another variable to the battle! The belatedly arrived Fuso fleet was pouring out its firepower at this moment,
While quickly rushing into the battlefield!
At this moment, the morale of the Europa Combined Fleet is high and they will not be scared off by this little battle.
After all, the naval combat power of these two Europa players is not weak, but the foreign joint fleet has always been three against two. After being suppressed for so many years, the gap will inevitably widen.
And now, after a period of rest, with this wave of morale, two against two, they may not be afraid of the opponent!
The rare comeback situation caused the soldiers of the Europa United Fleet to fall into a state of excitement. They had been suppressing it for too long. This wave finally allowed them to vent their frustration! However, the commanders of the two fleets
The officers, however, did not become hot-headed because of this advantage. Their overall state was quite calm.
Thinking about it, if there was no ability, according to the situation here, Europa would have collapsed long ago.
"Fight another two waves and retreat before the third fleet from the opposite side arrives!"
This is probably what they are thinking now. The battle situation in this sea area has finally improved a little. Don't make waves and stop when you are good. That is the right way!
Chapter completed!
