Volume 19 Chapter 33 Failed Maritime Reinforcement

While the Japanese players in the fulcrum city were anxious about the growing number of Chinese troops outside the city, a more amazing news suddenly appeared in their ears.

"What? Battleships were found at sea?"

For Japanese players, they have been losing their warships for a long time, so now they hear that warships appear on the sea, and the first thing they think of is the fleet of our guild. However, some of them still remember Matsumoto Masaki’s promise before, so they immediately asked: “Which fleet is it?”

"I don't know, the distance is too far, and now I can only barely see a little ship shadow."

After the news of the discovery of warships at sea spread, many Japanese players rushed to the beach to see the situation on the sea. Unfortunately, the place facing the sea is so big, and there are so many people in Chengli, it is obvious that it is impossible for them to find a location. Besides, it is not easy to see the situation on the sea without a telescope. However, despite this, many people still saw the situation on the sea.

As time passed, the originally small ship shadow finally gradually became clearer. In everyone's sight, a large ship was rushing towards the coast at a very fast speed.

When they first saw the big ship, the Japanese players were shocked because they didn't expect the ship to be so big, but then they suddenly felt relieved because they soon discovered that the ship was not a warship at all. Although the huge ship was equipped with a turret in front of the ship, its overall structure was still very obvious as a transport ship, so many people discovered that it was not a warship at all. And when everyone saw the flag on the ship, the identity of the ship finally came to light.

"Damn it, it's the Frost Rose Alliance's troops ship. Matsumoto Masaga failed to stop their ship!" The impatient person shouted after seeing the flag clearly. Generally speaking, his guess was not wrong this time. After all, the transport ships were all coming, which only means that the interception failed. However, the nervous Japanese players soon discovered an abnormality.

"Wait a minute, there is a boat behind the troop transport ship." The player holding the telescope climbed high and watched while shouting out the information he saw loudly so that the people below could understand what he saw.

"Can you see this ship?" asked anxiously, the person without a telescope below.

The player holding the telescope said, "Wait a minute, now I can only see a little bit of the hull, as if the ship is relatively long... Oh, damn, it's a warship. It's a warship of the Frost Rose League. I saw that damn ball!"

The damn ball that Japanese players talk about actually refers to the spherical observatory and turret installed on the top of our guild battleship. Because the warships of our guild are equipped with super-large optical aiming systems produced by the Iron Crusaders, they often have a semi-spherical protective cover on the top of the warships that look like an observatory. As for those super-large warships equipped with magic light cannon launchers, there will be two such spherical protective covers. Over time, Japanese players call that thing a damn ball, because that thing is either a powerful magic light cannon or they can find their sighting equipment at a long distance. Anyway, it is not a good thing for the Japanese.

"Damn it, it seems that Masaki Matsumoto is not reliable either. He did not intercept the Chinese warships!" A player who was a little prejudiced and more urgent to Masaki Matsumoto complained.

The player holding the telescope on the top shouted: "No, Matsumoto Masaga did not lie, he really sent a warship to intercept it."

"What did you say?" "How did you know?" asked the people below.

The player holding a telescope immediately said: "There are only five ships behind the troop transport ship, and there are only six troop transport ships. How could the Chinese send only a few ships? Also, two of the five warships are smoking, and they can still see the flames. The largest warship in the center seems to be a little crooked. Maybe the water in the cabin has been in balance. Haha, really, this time I saw it clearly, and the Chinese have only these six ships left."

"I didn't expect Masaga Matsumoto did it!" someone sighed.

Someone who was dissatisfied with Matsumoto Masaga said, "It's done, but he said that he had completely stopped the warship group, but now he has sent six ships, and there are also troops transporting ships. What kind of troops are being pulled on the ship, but if they are all high-level mobile angels, it will be troublesome! The mobile angels of the Frost Rose Alliance are so powerful. If this ship is all mobile angels, we will be completely finished!"

Before the person below could finish complaining, the player holding the telescope above suddenly shouted again. "Wait a minute, the Chinese warship is firing."

"Fire? Where to go?"

"From the back, they are firing backwards." The man holding the telescope cried.

"Backward?" The people below were stunned at first, then suddenly became excited and shouted: "Is it the ships of the Ghost Dragon Society? They were not defeated, but they just did not completely block the warships. They were still fighting with the Chinese fleet! Haha, we are saved now." When they said this, the player shouted to the top: "Can you see how many warships are chasing the Chinese ships?"

"No, the chasing ship is behind and I can't see it at all. Now I can only see a faint phantom based on the direction of the Chinese shelling!"

In this way, the players holding the telescope kept reporting the battle situation at a high place, while the people below listened carefully. After about twenty minutes, they suddenly heard the players holding the telescope scream. The people below asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

The people above shouted, "Haha, I've hit it. I saw a huge fireball rising from a heavy patrol of the Chinese. It seems that they were hit."

"I hit it? How is the effect?"

"I don't know very well, it seems nothing is wrong! Damn, the Chinese ship is too hard!" The player holding the telescope to observe suddenly screamed again: "Ah, another shot, another shot, this time it hit the turret. Haha, the tail turret of the Chinese cruiser was destroyed. Oh, it turned."

"Steer? Want to run away?"

"I don't know, I'm still turning." After waiting for a while, the man shouted: "It's not that he escaped. The boat was crossing the sea and blocked the pursuers behind with side fire. Its tail cannon was broken and it wouldn't be able to fight if it didn't cross over. Maybe it wanted to sacrifice itself to cover the ship in front. Wait a minute, I saw the pursuers. Haha, there are twelve ships, and the Ghost Dragon Society's pursuit fleet has twelve ships, more than the Chinese. Eh?"

The person below immediately asked anxiously when he heard the person above making a puzzled voice, "So what's wrong?"

"The chasing warship seemed to be wounded, and there was a ship full of smoke, as if it was almost sinking!"

"Nonsense, is the Chinese fleet easy to deal with? It would be good if there are still some ships left to chase the Chinese ships, how could it be without injuries?"

"That's right."

With the continuous explanation of the player holding the telescope, the warships of both sides were also constantly approaching. The fastest rushing ship could even be seen directly by the Japanese players on the shore with their naked eyes, but the warships of both sides on the sea behind were getting more and more intense. The Guilonghui battleships that lined up more and more were obviously faster, while the Chinese warships in front could not accelerate because the main battleships in the fleet were inclined in the water. Fortunately, the two sides had already approached the near-shore area, so there was no need to run anymore.

"Oh!" The player holding the telescope suddenly screamed and scared everyone below.

"What's going on?"

"Damn it, that heavy patrol across the sea set fire to a small boat from the Ghost Dragon Society. Oh no, it looks like it hit the ammunition depot. An explosion occurred in the middle of the ship that was shot. The ship is no longer leaving, probably it's over!"

"It's really, why is the ship of the Ghost Dragon Society so unsatisfactory? So many people beat a few and even made people suck it first. It's really bad!" Some of the players who were listening to the news below couldn't help but complain.

The person next to him retorted: "It's easy to say. You have never participated in a naval battle with the Chinese. You don't know that the Chinese naval guns are much more powerful than our naval guns. If the main guns of the battleship class are basically sank a cruiser in three or five guns. Haven't you heard the brothers above say that the ones hit were small boats? How could that kind of small boat hold the main gun of the warship?"

"Aren't I in a hurry? Why are you and I anxious? If you have the ability, go out and sink the Chinese ships, don't rush here!"

"you……!"

The people below were about to start arguing, but the person above suddenly started to scream again. "Okay, it's a good fight. Haha, the Chinese cruiser was hit by the warship of the Ghost Dragon Society."

"How effective? Is it sinking?" the person below asked quickly.

"I don't know." The person above replied: "I only saw a large row of fireballs covering the superstructure of the entire ship. I don't know how the effect is, but it seems pretty good. Oh, the bow of the ship exploded, as if it was a torpedo. Haha, the Chinese cruiser was hit by a torpedo on the bow and was sinking."

"It's a good fight!" The Japanese players below shouted excitedly.

"Wait a minute. The main gun of that cruiser is still spinning!"

"Why are you still turning around when you're almost sinking?"

"How do I know?" the person above shouted: "No, that cruiser fired... Oh my God!"

"What's going on? Do you want to be anxious to death?"

The people above paused for a while before saying: "The Chinese warship fired several special shells. After the shell exploded in the air, many small bombs were thrown out. The super battleship of the Ghost Dragon Society was covered by the barrage."

"What? Is the ship okay?"

"I don't know, the sea is completely covered with flames, and I can't see anything. Oh, wait a moment, I see. Ah, the bow of the super battleship is coming out, haha, the ship is fine." The person below was about to celebrate, but unexpectedly, the person above suddenly exclaimed again.

"What did you see again?"

"I don't know. It seems that the super battleship is turning to the side. I don't know if I'm wrong."

"Swing? What does it do when it turns?"

"I don't know, but it must be turning. The bow of the ship has turned several degrees and seems to be still turning."

Just as the focal point was watched by a large number of Japanese players, the super battleship was completely crossing the sea surface, and then continued to turn the bow of the ship to the direction facing the coast. The Japanese players had not yet figured out why the super battleship suddenly turned around, but unexpectedly, the super battleship that completely turned the direction did not stop after turning in a direction, but continued to turn the bow of the ship, obviously it was about to turn back again.

"Damn it! There is no one in that super battleship!" Finally someone discovered the problem.

"No one?" The people below were puzzled and didn't know what the people above were saying.

The player holding the telescope said: "The shells fired before the Chinese patrol sinks must be specialized in killing bombs for personnel. If I was not wrong, there should be no living people in the command tower of the super battleship of the Ghost Dragon Society. Moreover, the opponent's helmsman must have taken the rudder in a crooked manner after his death, so the ship kept spinning on the spot."

After hearing this player's explanation, the players below understood. If there were people in the command room of the ship, the warship would never turn more than 180 degrees continuously at sea, which was obviously abnormal. Moreover, although the rudder of the warship was in the command tower, the combat ship's engine compartment generally had manual steer adjustment switches, so even if the rudder was broken, it would be impossible to make the entire ship turn around at sea. As for the steering rudder, the thing was at the stern and underwater, and the shells flying from the front would not hit the rudder in any case. Therefore, the only reason that the warship could spin at sea was the death of all the command tower personnel.

The super battleships that had lost control were spinning around the sea, but the other warships of the Ghost Dragon Society were not in chaos. They were still accelerating and rushed forward, and soon jumped over the completely sunken Chinese cruiser and chased to a very close place behind the remaining Chinese warships. At this time, the fleets of both sides were much closer to the coast than before. Even if they didn't have telescopes and other equipment, most people could clearly see the battle of the fleets on both sides in the sea.

The Japanese players who didn't need to listen to the explanation were excited to see the scene of shells flying across the sea and fireballs rising. For them, how long has it been since they could see the Japanese fleet chasing the Chinese warships? Today, they finally relived the refreshing feeling that year. This excitement is not something that Japanese players cannot understand at all.

Just as the Japanese players were excited about their blood, something even more exciting happened. The super battleship that had been spinning had suddenly adjusted its course for some reason and drove towards the melee fleet. Moreover, after the super battleship resumed its course, the first round of artillery bombarded the Chinese fast frigate into two pieces and sank into the seabed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity that the Chinese frigate was sunk, a fast destroyer in the Ghost Dragon Fleet suddenly accelerated through the gap in the middle section of the sinking frigate and fired four torpedoes in one breath towards the crooked battleship in front of him. Although the battleship immediately turned around and shelled the destroyer after discovering the behavior of the destroyer, the seriously tilted battleship was not fast at first, and it could not dodge in a hurry, and the four torpedoes actually hit three hits.

After the seriously tilted battleship hit three torpedoes in a row, it immediately ignited a raging fire. As the battleship began to tilt horizontally on the sea, it finally turned over and crossed the water with its belly facing the sky. Until then, only one heavy cruiser and the troop transport ship were left in the entire Chinese fleet. Of course, the Ghost Dragon Society was not without losses. So far, only eight of the ten ships that the Ghost Dragon Society appeared in the sight of Japanese players were left, and there were still eight of them floating on the sea. Moreover, the two front main guns of one of the eight ships seemed to have failed, and they could only rely on the secondary gun and the tail gun to carry out limited shooting.

Although the fight was a bit miserable, Ghost Dragon Club still had an absolute advantage no matter what, and the numerical advantage of eight to two is still very oppressive.

"Come on, come on, sink him." The Japanese players on the shore saw that there was only one Chinese warship left, and shouted to cheer for the warships of the Ghost Dragon Society. Of course, in fact, no matter how loud they shouted, the warships on the sea would not be heard.

"It's almost done, let's make the final preparations." The main ship of the Ghost Dragon Fleet, Snow City commanded the indoor Yumiko in the command of the communicator.

"I understand." An alarm suddenly sounded inside the last remaining warship of the bank. Then all the personnel gave up their posts and ran to the power cabin at the lower stern.

The warship soldiers who arrived at the power cabin quickly opened a hidden hatch at the bottom of the ship, and then exposed a passage below. After seeing the passage open, the crew jumped in one after another. When everyone jumped into the hole, the shrimp climbed down the ladder at the hole and put down the cover on it tightened it, and finally slid along the ladder into the cabin below the passage.

Originally, warships should not have such a passage. The reason why this ship was equipped with such a thing was simply temporarily modified. The person passing through the vertical passage did not enter the lower cabin of the warship. In fact, they are no longer in the warship. This passage is not connected to the bottom cabin of the warship. The position they were standing in front of the warship was already the bottom cabin of the warship, and their current location is actually a submarine.

After everyone was in place, with the order of shrimp, the link between the submarine and the warship was suddenly broken by four blasting points, and the warship broke away from the submarine. The submarine that departed from the lower part of the hull quickly turned around and drove away from the coast, while the warship above rushed towards the coast at full speed.

"Miko, we're OK here."

"I understand." Yukimiko put down the communicator and immediately changed to another communicator and shouted: "All fleets should pay attention and concentrate their firepower to sink that warship."

With the order of Yukimiko, the remaining Ghost Dragon Battleships fired their guns and blasted the last battleship, and the unmanned warship automatically fired several guns in the direction of aiming in advance under the drive of the timing device. Of course, the cannons that no one controls naturally cannot hit anything. However, a few runs can at least make others believe that there are people on the ship.

Eight to one, the last warship was quickly completely submerged by dense firepower. After less than ten minutes, the last warship completely sank into the seabed. However, the warship of the Ghost Dragon Society did not stop, but accelerated and rushed towards the coast, because the troop transport ship in front was almost at the shore.

"Damn it, fire the cannon! Don't let the Chinese troop transport ships come up!" The Japanese players on the coast looked at the gradually approaching warships, all of whom were so nervous. Who knew what kind of troops were installed in the troop transport ship. If they were all top-level troops, the ones who were unlucky would be the ones guarding the coast.

Both sides were accelerating crazy, and the warships were speeding up, but the troop transport ships were still not as fast as the warships. The distance between the two sides was quickly closer at a speed visible to the naked eye. Just when the troop transport ship was less than two kilometers away from the coast, a row of fire suddenly appeared in the fleet behind. Then, a large number of water columns rose one after another near the troop transport ship in front. But the problem is that even the nearest water column is still more than twenty meters away from the transport ship, and even with the armor of the transport ship, it is definitely not afraid of such a long explosion.

"Damn it, do those wastes want to rush us to death?" The Japanese players watching the troop ship approaching on the coast found that the thunder and rainy bombardment was not hit, and they couldn't help complaining, but their complaints were really useless. Although the opposite fleet quickly carried out the second round of artillery fire, the bounce point fell further this time, and they didn't even see the water column slightly closer.

Just when the Japanese players were anxious to curse, they suddenly saw a huge fireball suddenly rising from the side of the troop transport ship that had already rushed to the coast less than 1.5 kilometers, and two smaller fire balls rose at the same time, following the bow and the left side of the hull.

"Long live, hit, hit, haha!"

The Japanese players shouted excitedly, but the troop transport ship was still rushing forward. Although the shelling just now hit the hull, it did not affect the main structure and the ship was still running. The Japanese players who saw this scene couldn't help but scold: "Bastard, keep fighting!"

As if they heard their words, a huge fireball suddenly rose from the troop transport ship. The explosion that occurred at the stern this time obviously injured the ship's walking mechanism, and the speed of the troop transport ship was significantly slowed down.

"Haha, it's slower, the troop ship slows down, fight quickly, sink him!" The Japanese players cheered and shouted.

Boom... Boom Boom Boom, four consecutive explosions appeared one after another. Because the distance was close enough, the Japanese players on the coast finally heard the explosion this time, and the troop transport ship on the sea was obviously too fast. The four shells just now seemed to have leaked the ship, and the hull suddenly began to slow down, and it was obvious that the hull water line was running upwards, which was a sign of the water entering the hull.

"You are arrogant, are you done now?" The Japanese players shouted excitedly.
To be continued...
