On a sea full of wreckage, the sharp bow of the missile destroyer of the Airan Hill Navy cut through the waves, and at an extremely high speed, it knocked away a small wooden boat blocking its route.
The escape boat full of demon soldiers sank in the sea in an instant, leaving only a few wooden boards still rippling in the water.
Not far behind the guided missile destroyer, Eiland Hill's giant battleship Victory was using the 406mm heavy cannon equipped on its own battleship to fire at the farther away Demon Battleship.
The earth-shaking sound of artillery echoed on the sea, and along with the white missile tracks flying continuously in the sky, the entire battlefield seemed very lively.
"Boom!" The Irish artillery cruiser, which has already moved forward and is approaching the Demon Fleet, is firing continuously. Those powerful 203 mm caliber artillery are actually slower in fire rate than the powerful and heavy 406 mm caliber main gun.
The cannon is much taller, and its ability to dump ammunition is also more powerful.
When facing demon battleships with poor defense capabilities, these 203mm caliber artillery can achieve even more amazing results while also saving ammunition.
After all, 406mm caliber artillery shells really take up a lot of space, and even the super battleships of Eiland Hill cannot carry too many.
The 203mm caliber artillery shells are different. Even cruisers can carry sufficient ammunition, and their lethality against demon warships is not weak.
In addition, in terms of manufacturing cost, 203mm caliber artillery shells are much cheaper than 406mm caliber artillery shells.
At a distance of 20 kilometers, the artillery cruiser's artillery fire pouring ability is quite impressive, and is actually not weaker than the battleship - the only difference between the two is actually its ability to damage heavily armored targets.
After all, a 406mm caliber artillery shell can penetrate half a meter of hardened armor steel plate, but a 203mm caliber artillery shell may not even be able to penetrate the same thickness of 300mm steel plate.
However, the devil's warships do not have such heavy armor protection at all, so it is more economical and more cost-effective for Ailanshir's warships to attack these thin-skinned and large-sized targets with 203 mm caliber artillery shells.
At this moment, six Eiland Hill artillery cruisers were lined up in a row. With their powerful firepower, they stood in the path of the Demon Navy. They kept using fierce artillery fire to kill the Demon Navy warships that tried to approach.
sink.
Their efficiency is really too high. These warships equipped with mk16 automatic loading naval guns can automatically load shells at any gun elevation angle, maintaining a terrifying rate of fire of 10 shells per minute.
With this ultra-high rate of fire, these cruisers were simply slaughtering the demonic battleships in front of them. Before the opponent could enter the attack range of the magic cannon, they were hit by these shells with equally terrifying armor-piercing capabilities, and they broke apart and sank in the explosion.
.
As the battle in the North Sea progressed, the main fleet of Airan Hill had adjusted its formation and formed a "V" formation, with the demon fleet sandwiched between the two wings.
The Ailanthil fleet, which was more flexible and faster, dispatched a fleet of destroyers to harass the outside, using cruisers as the main force to attack the opponent's flanks, beating the main force of the demon fleet back steadily.
The fleets deployed by the Demon Fleet on both wings were defeated by the battleship fleet commanded by Lawns. They suffered heavy losses and had to change course as well.
But when the demon fleet changed its course and tried to break out of the encirclement, it discovered that the sky fleet of Ailanthir had already arrived behind it.
After a melee, the left wing of the Demon Fleet was held back by Maher's 2nd Cruiser Fleet. Although it was still attacking non-stop, it was already at the end of its strength.
The main force of the demon fleet on the other side was overwhelmed by the attack of Lawns and Waggron, and was completely unable to rescue the decoy fleet in the encirclement.
The demon decoy fleet caught in the V-shape has now been almost eaten. After persisting for such a long time, they are now only capable of being beaten.
Standing on the wall of the Demon's Floating Castle, the Demon General responsible for commanding this battle clenched his fists with an ugly face and looked at the smoke-filled battlefield in the distance.
Most of his fleet has been eaten up, but the surrounding warships that were supposed to attack the human fleet are still missing.
The originally agreed-upon battle plan has now become a complete joke: the intelligence sent by the liaison officer shows that the forces deployed by humans on the left and right wings are even stronger than the left and right wings of the demon fleet.
This is very interesting: Who is encircling whom? If this kind of plan to encircle humans turns out to be surrounded by humans, then from the moment this battle begins, is the demon fleet already over?
?
"Hundreds of warships! How can they be so vulnerable? Order the 4th and 5th fleets to attack the two wings!" He looked at the officers behind him sinisterly and ordered loudly.
The officer standing behind him looked embarrassed. He swallowed before reporting: "Sir... the 4th Fleet has been severely damaged and has no ability to escape and turn around to fight back."
"What about the 5th Fleet? Ah?" The somewhat annoyed Demon General asked loudly: "Let the 5th Fleet launch a fierce attack on the right wing! Break through the human fleet and cut off the connection between them..."
After hearing this unrealistic order, the officer could only bite the bullet and pass the order - but he actually knew very well that if the 5th Fleet could break through the human encirclement, cut off the opponent's fleet formation, and disrupt the opponent's deployment,
They are not so passive now.
In fact, it can be seen from the destruction of the 1st Fleet and the 2nd Fleet that the current encirclement on our side is caused by the absolute gap in combat effectiveness.
If you want to challenge the enemy's superior technology with inferior technology in a technical arms battle such as naval warfare, you are basically looking for death.
But now, the demon commander is struggling in this senseless way: hundreds of battleships have been sunk, but the demon fleet only sunk two small human battleships not long ago.
They were two guided-missile destroyers. Because they ran out of missiles, they were destroyed by the Demon Bat and the Demon Dragon. But then human warships arrived, drove away the Demon Bat and the Demon Dragon, and rescued the human soldiers who fell into the water.
The only result was achieved by the air force, which embarrassed the Demon Fleet. In fact, they have only fired less than a hundred cannons from the beginning of the war to the present, because of the disadvantages of the magic cannon in terms of range and accuracy.
Serious flaws in speed, most of these attacks did not cause any trouble to the human fleet.
"Damn it, when did these bastard humans become so powerful?" The demon general, who had just arrived in this world and had just seen the human industrialized fleet, complained in a low voice full of resentment.
Before he could finish his words of complaint, the demonic floating castle under his feet suddenly shook.
Then, when the demon general frowned and opened his mouth to ask the people around him what happened, he felt the floating castle he was standing on suddenly tremble, and then began to shake violently.
"What's going on? What happened?" He held on to the crenellations on the city wall, barely stood still, and shouted loudly: "Check inside the castle! Go and see what happened!"
"Boom!" Under the core tower of the castle in the distance, a huge plume of smoke rose into the sky, followed by a deafening explosion, and then the floating magic circle under the demonic castle began to weaken.
"The core has been destroyed!" The demon general who was familiar with the structure of the demon castle suddenly realized that something was wrong, but when he realized all this, it was already too late to prevent the demon floating castle under his feet from being destroyed.
The next second, he felt something flying past him, because the speed was so fast that he didn't even hear the sharp sound of breaking wind.
Everything was so quiet, and everything was so fast. Just when the demon general felt something flying by, the thing had already passed by where he was standing and crashed into the castle wall.
In just an instant, the thing penetrated the thick wall of the castle, penetrated a house behind the wall, and penetrated the house behind this house.
The huge kinetic energy shattered the houses all at once. Before the broken stones and rubble could fall to the ground, the thing crashed into the core of the castle and was no longer visible.
Not even a second passed before the demonic castle, which was already crumbling, started to emit even bigger black smoke, and began to disintegrate and collapse faster.
"What is that thing?" The thing flying past him was so fast that he didn't even see what it was. So the Demon General looked at his subordinates beside him and asked in horror.
Or, it's not that he really doesn't know, so he wants to ask, but it's just a way to vent, to vent the fear in his heart, to vent his anger that he is about to lose.
No one answered him, because these demons didn't know what exactly passed by. They only knew that the thing easily penetrated the reinforced magic defense barrier on the outside of the demon castle, and instantly penetrated the city walls and houses.
, penetrated dozens of meters of land and destroyed the power core of the floating castle.
So, in the silence, the power core of this huge floating castle could no longer remain stable, and exploded in an instant. A huge explosion appeared in the sky, and the entire demon castle exploded into countless pieces, as if
A piece of falling hailstones fell on the panicked demon fleet.
And in the sky more than 50 kilometers away, in the sealed artillery control room, the human artillery commander stood in his command position with his hands behind his back, raising his chin and loudly reminding his subordinates: "Change the track...
