"Look!" On the outside of the combined fleet, on the deck of Qin's destroyer Courage, the sentry in charge pushed his companion's shoulder.
The sleepy companion rubbed his eyes: "What's going on? It's been a day and I'm exhausted. Can you let me sleep for a while and stop making trouble?"
"Look over there!" The sentry who discovered the abnormality continued to shake his companion until his companion also looked at the sky in the distance.
His eyes widened suddenly, and he lost all sleepiness in an instant. Because he saw a lot of meteors, many, many "meteors" attacking their fleet!
"Oh my God..." The sentries of the Courage saw a meteor passing over the sea near their battleship with a whistling sound. The sound even covered up the sound of the waves and the engine.
The sentry who first discovered the anomaly turned around and shouted in the direction of the bridge: "Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
A few seconds later, the battle alarm sounded in the destroyer HMS Courage. After being fooled for a whole day, the crew of the USS Courage finally caught up with the main force and rolled from their hammocks to the floor.
Without even putting on their clothes, they found their posts in the dark. They were so familiar with the ship that it felt like their own home.
After putting on his helmet, the captain walked to the third officer on duty and grabbed the binoculars: "Damn it, how did things become like this?"
In the darkness pointed by the sharp bow of his destroyer, in an extremely distant place, a flame was burning.
That was the battleship Shushan of the Great Qin Empire, named after the city of Shushan. The battleship was exploding at this moment. It seemed that the explosion was not the ammunition depot, but the fire was uncontrollable.
A little further away, another unclear fire group was expanding and gradually became clear: it was the Qin State's aircraft carrier Zhennan.
An aircraft carrier built by the Qin State itself, the first aircraft carrier of the Qin Empire! It refers to the basic design of the Essex-class aircraft carrier, and has made some corresponding modifications. The overall performance is quite good.
At that time, Qin and Tang were still in their honeymoon period. The Tang State provided Qin with aircraft carrier drawings in advance, which can be said to be quite generous.
Now, this huge ship that witnessed the friendship between Qin and Tang was exploding and burning, and the fire almost engulfed the entire flight deck of the warship.
"Accelerate!" The captain put down the telescope, looked at the officer in charge of power, and ordered: "Get closer to the Shushan! See if the other party needs rescue..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a frightening whistling sound above their heads, and a meteor streaked across the sky, heading straight towards the Shushan from above their heads.
Everyone in the bridge shrank in fear. When they looked up again, they saw that the light spot was only one step away from the Shushan.
The next second, the flames penetrated the hull of the battleship Shushan, and then everyone on the destroyer saw a ray of light flashing from the heavy armor of the battleship, and the entire battleship seemed to tremble.
"Boom!" The battleship that was already on fire exploded violently again, and the sky-high flames illuminated the surrounding sea. A nearby cruiser was quickly turning around, and the searchlight in the middle of the cruiser shone on the Shushan.
"The order is cancelled! There is no need to go over there." Even a fool knows that the Shushan is already doomed. If we approach now, we may be implicated in the Shushan's explosion.
In this case, how many of the officers and soldiers of the Shushan can survive depends on God's will. After canceling the order, the captain of the destroyer Courage then ordered: "Correct the route, go around, and find a way
Let’s go rescue the Zhennan aircraft carrier..."
While he was speaking, something suddenly fell from outside the porthole and hit the deck with a "bang" sound.
In an instant, everyone in the bridge was filled with souls, and the hairs on their bodies stood up. The captain almost fell down, and the thought that flashed through his mind was: It's over, he is going to die for his country.
After waiting for a while, they found that there was no violent explosion. Everyone stood up straight. Some people went out to ask what had fallen. When they came back, they reported the situation to their captain: "It's a section of railing."
"Railrails?" The captain of the Courage frowned and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "The warship is so new, how come the railings break and fall off? How are they maintained on a daily basis?"
"Captain, it's not our railing." The returning officer replied awkwardly: "I don't know where it came from."
The captain was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Shushan which was exploding in the distance, and seemed to understand something: "Accelerate! ... Send power to the Shushan and wish them good luck."
"The interference is too strong, they may not be able to receive our messages..." the officer in charge of communications warned awkwardly.
"Send it." The first mate knew what his captain meant and said to the communications officer: "This is the last thing we can do."
The silent captain of the destroyer Courage saw at this time more "meteors" flying into the dark distance. There were more and more important combined fleet battleships there.
"It's over..." This was a thought that came to the mind of the captain of the Courage. A day ago, he thought that the combined fleet was invincible.
At that time, he saw the fleet lying across the anchorage in the distance, with 10 aircraft carriers gathered together and more than 700 carrier-based aircraft!
This is no joke! There are a total of 700 carrier-based aircraft, 10 aircraft carriers, and battleships guarding the side. No opponent dares to challenge such a fleet!
It's a pity... This kind of heroic feeling only lasted for one day. In other words, it only lasted for one day and then disappeared. The other party didn't even show their face, and they beat this huge combined fleet into a panic.
John Cleeves watched as another one of Dorn's aircraft carriers was hit by a missile, and his face turned the color of pig liver. He didn't know that the aircraft carrier Zhennan behind him had also been seriously injured. At this time, the aircraft carrier in his hand
Half of the 10 aircraft carriers are already out of action.
"Report! The battleship Prince Ryder was hit and the ammunition depot exploded..." An officer once again walked to John Cleeves' side, stood at attention and saluted and reported the news he had just learned.
Now, almost half of the main battleships of the combined fleet have been lost, and the remaining battleships are also injured and disabled.
John Cleeves no longer expected to turn defeat into victory. All he could think about now was how to save the fleet. If he could escape from the battlefield immediately, he would rather sacrifice himself.
