Chapter 620 620 Everything Returns to Silence

Just when these Cyric sailors were trying their best to save their battleship that was smoking and burning, someone saw the Stukas coming in groups from afar through the swirling black smoke. .

"Airplane! Airplane!" Some officers pointed to the sky and reminded their companions loudly, but most of them could do nothing about it.

No way, some of their few Maxim machine guns were blown up, and the remaining machine guns actually didn't have much ammunition.

These machine guns were originally placed on battleships, not for air defense operations.Their previous function was only to deal with some approaching enemy boats.

It can even be said that the function of these machine guns to suppress the riots of the sailors on board is much greater than that of air defense.

So the ammunition of these machine guns is actually not much at all, but in the air-to-air combat just now, which machine gun didn't fire thousands of rounds of ammunition?
"Boom!" A Cyric soldier with a rifle fired another shot into the sky, but at this time those terrifying planes hadn't started to dive yet.

No one cared about him. At this time, anyone who still has the courage to stand on the deck and shoot a shot at the sky with a rifle is considered a warrior.

More people were in confusion, at a loss, some were busy putting out the fire on the deck, some were helping to carry the wounded on the deck, and some were being pulled up by the officers to prepare for air defense operations.

On the machine gun position, the shooter manipulating the machine gun was replacing the cold water in the water tank of the machine gun: the machine gun had already scalded the water in the water tank during the battle just now.

Through the billowing smoke, the shooter could see the Stuka dive bombers with bent wings in the clouds, diving straight down, aiming their noses at the damaged battleships on the periphery.

"Chain! Chain!" the shooter yelled loudly, urging the helper to bring him the ammunition stored in the adjoining compartment.

There were bullet casings under his feet, some of them would roll to a further place as the battleship heaved and swayed, and some bullet casings rolled down beside the corpses, stopping their way and stopping just like that.

There were also some bullet casings that were stuck in blood as they rolled, and they just stopped there, and then they were surrounded by blood little by little.

"Tu-Tu-Tu-Tu!" In the distance, a Butcher fighter plane in charge of covering began to swoop and shoot. The dense ammunition passed through the fire, shredded the black smoke, penetrated the crowd, and smashed on the deck with crackling sounds.

Immediately afterwards, under the desperate eyes of these Cyric sailors, the Butcher fighter broke through the thick smoke and roared past their heads, making everyone shrink their necks in fright.

Before these people were thankful that they fired the first round of less-fired attacks, the second Butcher fighter jet smashed through the black smoke, rushed out above the flames, and rained down on the lambs on the deck. Normal bullets.

These poor people who were just glad that they didn't die suddenly fell apart, and the rest of them finally remembered that they had the right to run away.

So, all of a sudden, the people on the deck started to revel again: some were so frightened that they rushed into the iron gate beside them, trying to be a coward;

After the two butchers swooped and shot to clear the way, a Stuka dive bomber arrived as scheduled and dropped a huge bomb on the fat middle of the battleship.

By coincidence, the bomb went directly into the chimney of the battleship, and a huge explosion broke the backbone of the battleship a few seconds later.

The battleship whose keel was directly broken broke from the middle, and the sea water was easily torn, and invaded all the cabins pervasively.

The two ends of the battleship began to tilt high, and the broken part in the middle sank into the sea water, with huge bubbles rolling around, blasting out pieces of white spray.

The commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom looked at the broken warship not far away, his face turned pale.

In the previous round of attack, he already clearly felt that the enemy's cooperation became more and more proficient.The bombs are more accurate and the attacks are more unscrupulous.

With the exchange of experience, the pilots of the first round of attack have informed some precautions to the pilots of the second round of bombing missions.

They reminded their comrades to pay attention to the few machine gun positions on both sides, and reminded their comrades to cut into the positions that were most likely to be hit.

Of course, at the same time, the speed of the burning and smoking battleship is also slower, and the success rate of the attack is naturally higher.

In short, a damaged fleet is attacked by air strikes, which is actually a bit doomed.The entire fleet was shrouded in smoke and fire, and it even looked a little tragic.

It's a pity that tragedy is not good news for those who are experiencing tragedy.This often means that they are at a disadvantage and can easily die tragically.

Two more Stuka dive bombers rolled and whizzed down in the air, and they precisely dropped two aerial bombs on the deck of a Cyric cruiser.

The sound of the collision even overshadowed the sound of the burning fire, and then the ammunition depot of the battleship began to explode.

First came the ammunition depot for the rear main gun, followed by the ammunition depot for the front main gun. The continuous explosions directly sent away the smoky battleship. After a few seconds, only the mast and fragments were exposed on the sea. .

This is already the ninth cruiser of Cyric that was sunk today: the remaining 9 ships include the flagship of the fleet where the commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom and Commander Cyric belong.

As for the destroyers, less than half of them survived the carpet bombing just now, and there were still some that sank along the way, plus the ones that were sunk just now... Now there are only 9 ships left.

That is to say, in the continuous air strikes, the bombers of the Tang army have sunk 9 cruisers and 21 destroyers of the Cyric attack fleet.

Most of the entire fleet has been lost, and the remaining 6 cruisers and 9 destroyers are still seriously damaged. In fact, the entire fleet is not far from being wiped out.

The navy is indeed a unit that can lose all its possessions in one morning. Before nightfall, this Cyric sneak attack fleet will almost be wiped out here.

The commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom's navy withdrew his desperate gaze, looked at Commander Cyric, who was still wrapped in a bandage on his forehead, and asked with a heavy face, "Do you have any last words? If you have any, please send them quickly." get out."

They sent a lot of messages along the way, including detailed messages introducing the appearance of enemy aircraft, including messages reminding the Cyric Consortium to increase the anti-aircraft firepower of warships, and also including messages to strengthen the horizontal protective armor of battleships and improve damage control capabilities. .

Anyway, as a technocrat, Cyric's commander may not be qualified, but as a mercenary of a weapons group, he still showed his professional side.

"Order all the remaining warships to destroy the code book." Cyric's commander closed his eyes and said, fearing that the Tang Kingdom would capture several warships and reveal Cyric's code.

"You are more courageous and powerful than I imagined." The commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom sighed, and then ordered the new captain beside him: "Send a message to let all warships destroy the code book and destroy the radio station. ..."

The captain of this cruiser died of serious injuries before, and now the deputy captain is acting as the captain. After he heard the order, he immediately carried it out.

After sending a few more telegrams reporting the fleet's loss and possible loss, Cyric's commander sent his own personal last words.

After that, the officers on the bridge took advantage of their positions and positions to send some telegrams dealing with their affairs.When the last person troubled the electromechanical officer with a crying voice, the commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom also sent his own private last words.

As for those little soldiers and sailors... They are not qualified to write last words. The electromechanical officer not far behind the bridge took off his earphones, and then he and the deputy captain lit the code book at the corner of the iron stairs outside the cabin. Watching it burn to ashes.

And at this moment, another cruiser not far from them suddenly exploded violently. Without being attacked again, it turned into a ball of fire and disappeared on the sea.

The dazzling firelight illuminated the faces of everyone on the flagship deck. They watched blankly as the battleship in the distance was engulfed by the fireball, and they couldn't even express themselves.

They had just extinguished the fire on the bow of the ship 1 minutes ago. As some inexperienced and severely understaffed damage control personnel, they have actually done a good enough job.

But obviously, not everyone has their abilities. The colleagues on the distant cruiser messed up, the ammunition depot exploded, and there will not be many people alive on that battleship.

It’s not that there are no explosions. Some destroyers found that their bows or sterns were already soaked in seawater due to serious water ingress.

There are also warships that have already rolled so severely that one side of the warship has sunk into the water, and the angle of inclination of the battleship has even begun to make it impossible to stand still.

Such a battleship is actually very lucky, at least the crew on it still have a chance to abandon the ship.

However, the attack continued, and those Cyric warships that continued to persist were still trying their best to escape.Even an antelope with only three legs left will run two steps when faced with a leopard's pursuit. No one will give up struggling when they are dying.

It's a pity that struggling is sometimes really futile. Another battleship was sunk, and there are actually not many Cyric's battleships left on the sea.

The remaining Stuka dive bombers seemed to have lost their patience. They swarmed up like vultures and devoured the remaining battleships.

The commander-in-chief of the Goblin Kingdom's navy closed his eyes, and then the bridge he was on was engulfed by the explosion, and everything fell silent. After all, this fleet failed to complete their mission.
