Chapter 614 Chapter 614 Between the Sea and the Sky
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." The red alarm above the head was spinning and flickering with scary light.In the narrow passage, the navy soldiers in white jackets rushed to their combat posts quickly.

On the bridge, the officer on duty stood in his position with his hands behind his back and his chin held high, overlooking the deck at the bow. The sailors quickly put away the clothes drying on the side rails.

Drying clothes and sheets on warships is actually a naval tradition of various countries: whether it is the era of sailing warships or the era of ironclad battleships.

It wasn't until there were special drying equipment on the battleship that the behavior of drying clothes gradually decreased.

And in order to cooperate with this behavior of drying clothes, naval warships sometimes use the mast to pull up the cables, as if sailing a large number of sheets and bedding at the same time.

Drying clothes on such a large scale is of course allowed and institutionalized.The captain will declare that day as "laundry day" when the weather is very good, and all officers and soldiers on the ship will wash and dry their clothes to ensure that their clothes are dry.

Fighting at sea for a long time ensures that the clothes are dry and fresh, and prevents the growth of bacteria, which is also the guarantee of combat effectiveness.

As for whether the sheets and clothes will be hung on the cannon... In fact, the barrel of the cannon is very thick, even if it is to hang the sheets and clothes on it, it is more appropriate to use words such as spreading or paving.

In fact, during non-combat time, it is not uncommon for soldiers to lie on the deck on the gun barrel or bask in the sun on the top of the turret. This does not directly reflect the combat effectiveness of the navy.

Therefore, if a certain naval officer and soldier is drying the quilt and clothes on the cannon of the battleship, the disadvantage of corrupt military discipline is exposed, everything is seen through by the opponent, and the war is finally lost, just listen to it for fun, don't believe it.

"How long will it take?" Bernard walked into the bridge, followed by the adjutant.The two walked to the side of the officer on duty, and Mr. Datang Navy Commander asked eagerly.

"The boiler still needs 4 hours to prepare...the air force attack force has already taken off." The officer on duty answered his superior's question with some embarrassment.

All naval officers knew how anxious Bernard was. They had been waiting in this sea area for too long, and they could hardly hold their heads up.

The army fought bloody battles under Beiyuan City, the air force has changed the situation of the war, but the navy has spent a lot of money... But from the outbreak of the war to the present, there is no time to fire a single shot!

This is simply a shame!

You must know that the cost of a dreadnought ship in the navy is an astonishing one million gold coins!Thick steel, huge artillery, sophisticated optical sights... If all these things are converted into tanks, it is estimated that several divisions can be equipped!

In addition, every time a naval warship sails, it consumes a lot of fuel and prepares food and supplies. It can be said to be a gold-swallowing behemoth.

But such a naval fleet often cruises in the sea on standby because it cannot find the enemy's fleet and cannot judge the situation.

"I can't help it, I can't be in a hurry." Bernard, on the other hand, comforted his subordinates on duty. He walked to his seat, and the expression on his face seemed to be much more relaxed than yesterday.

Seeing that his subordinates were a little strange, Bernard explained: "Since we have found the enemy, everything will be fine. As long as we kill this enemy fleet, we can go north!"

What he has always been thinking about is to protect the northern navigation and wipe out the mirage fleet.As for the fleet that attacked Long Island, he didn't pay attention at all.

The Tang Army's intelligence department has already confirmed that all the large warships manufactured by Cyric have been concentrated in the hands of Mirage, and it is only some cruisers and destroyers that threaten Long Island.

Bernard didn't think at all that the three battleships in his hand were used to attack the enemy's cruisers and destroyers.These three warships are going to face the battleship of the Phantom Navy head-on!
It's a collision between giants and giants!He couldn't be interested in beating these small fish and shrimps in front of him.

"It's okay, if the Air Force can't handle it, we'll clean up the mess!" After speaking, Bernard also looked down at the front deck, watching the sailors hurriedly send the sheets back to the cabin.

……

"They've been following us for a while." Inside the bridge, Cyric's officer stared at the two Flying Fortress bombers in the distance, and said a little irritably.

"We have turned around twice, and they still follow..." The commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom was also a little annoyed.

This kind of waiting is really uncomfortable. The opponent has been waiting for the knife for a long time, and I have been waiting to die...

"It seems that this kind of plane can fly for a long time..." Cyric's officer walked to the porthole, watching the two planes that passed through the entire fleet again and flew back to the front of the fleet.

What they don't know is that the B-17 Flying Fortress without bombs can indeed fly in the sky for a long time.

Moreover, as long as their fleet is found, the Datang Air Force can take off more planes and keep tracking and monitoring.

As long as it's not dark and the weather doesn't change, you can keep tracking like this until the end of time.

Just as the officers and soldiers on the warships preparing to attack Long Island looked angrily at the two planes in the sky, two more flying fortresses came from a distance.

Soon there were four planes in the sky, and four planes were flying back and forth around the fleet like flies hovering over a corpse.

In this way, the Cyric fleet was tortured back and forth for more than an hour, and a black spot suddenly appeared on the horizon in the distance.

These black dots are densely packed, rushing towards Cyric's sneak attack fleet. After approaching, these black dots turned into planes in the shape of "soldiers", forming a formation that covered the sky and the sun.

"Here we come!" Cyric's naval commander, who felt that he had made all preparations for the battle, saw the Datang Air Force attacking like a swarm of bees, and after only saying this word, his whole body froze.

He had only heard of such things as airplanes, and he hadn't felt how terrifying this weapon was when he heard about it before.

But when he saw the fleet appearing in front of his eyes, he realized that this thing called an airplane was really desperate.

"Let all the soldiers on standby take up their weapons and go on deck! Find a place for yourself!" The commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom's navy was already pale at this moment.

While giving the order, he looked at Commander Cyric beside him: "Those directors of yours, have you considered this situation?"

Even the old-fashioned ironclad ships have Maxim heavy machine guns on the deck for small targets.These machine guns are not designed for anti-air, but they can play some anti-air effects.

But obviously, it's not a good idea to rely on these Maxim machine guns that don't even have anti-air sights or tracer bullets to correct ballistics for air defense.

It's a pity that Cyric's sneak attack fleet only had these weapons, so they had to think of some ways to increase some anti-air firepower.

So, in the cabin of the battleship, soldiers with no mission took out the individual weapons stored in the weapon room, and hurried to the deck.

Cyric 1 Rifle!That's all they could find.In order to survive, they can only stand on the deck, aim at the dive bombers that have begun to climb in front of them, and prepare to use their rifles to fight for life and death.

"Damn it! Turn! Let the fleet turn! We can't wait to die here!" The commander of Cyric, who finally came back to his senses, shouted hysterically.

At the beginning, he didn't think that the surprise attack on Long Island this time was to die in vain.He thought it would be difficult for the enemy to find his fleet, and he thought that he could approach Long Island at night and bombard Tang's important oil and gas facilities.

Then, by virtue of the chaos, using the high speed, quickly escape, complete the task and become Cyric's savior...

Although he was shaken when the airship troop was completely annihilated, the follow-up order was to let him continue to perform the mission.

At this moment, he finally realized that this action might just be a death attempt, a reckless and fruitless temptation!

"Turn!" The commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom's navy also felt that continuing to advance would be death, so he also ordered: "All warships turn! Cover each other! Until they leave the battlefield!"

Above the sky, through the windshield, Tang Jun's pilots looked down at the fleet on the sea below them.The rapid turning made the white waves on both sides of these warships no longer symmetrical, and all the warships in the entire fleet began to draw a beautiful arc on the sea.

"Start attack! Cut in from the tail! Dive! Dive!" In the communication channel of the first attacking Stuka dive bombers, the commander loudly issued an attack order.

These Stuka dive bombers that had removed their tweeting devices fell from the clouds one by one, aiming their noses at the huge target on the sea.

In their sights, the target that was originally only the size of a sesame seed was enlarged little by little, and gradually became the size of a willow leaf.

Immediately afterwards, these willow leaf-sized targets continued to grow in size, and the light yellow color of the deck wood could even be discerned.

The chimneys of the turret bridge on the battleship began to become clear, and the trajectory of the tracer bullets fired by the Stuka, which was the first to dive ahead, was also clearly visible.

"Tug, tug!" As the distance got closer, the driver of the Stuka dive bomber also pulled the trigger, and the cannons on the wings also began to roar.

The sailors on the other side's deck suddenly turned upside down, and the soldiers with their rifles raised their heads and fled. How could anyone care about the rushing down plane?

"Stuck!" At a height that was already quite close to the battleship, the pilot threw out the 500 kg aerial bomb mounted under his belly.Its huge projectile body was supported by the bombing rod, broke away from the plane, avoided the front propeller, and rushed towards the battleship on the sea.
