Alien Arms Empire.

Chapter 648 Chapter 648 There is light in the eyes
"General, general..." After thinking for a while and forcing his stupid little head to continue working, the adjutant still said: "Now, now we can only fight to the end, think, find a way, restore...restore the decline gone."

He knows that running is absolutely impossible. Before the two sides started shelling, Tang Jun's fleet had demonstrated its amazing speed.

The Phantom Navy just changed its course, and the warships of the Tang State Navy circled a large circle to keep up with the speed of the Phantom Navy's turn.

In the face of such an absolute speed gap, any attempt to escape would be self-defeating: they could not withdraw from the battlefield on their own initiative, as that would only give the opponent the opportunity to chase and erode themselves.

If there were only cruisers and destroyers, they would have a chance to disperse and escape. After all, these small warships had higher speeds and more chances of escape.

Unfortunately, the last thing they can give up is the expensive and precious battleship, which is the key to determining the outcome at sea.

"Our rate of fire is too slow... there is no way..." Kazuo Mirage explained with an ugly face.He has now lost the courage to fight decisively, and his whole body is beginning to worry about gains and losses.

In fact, the more vicious and cunning a villain is when he has an advantage, the more timid and cowardly he will be when he encounters a strong enemy.

Mirage Kazuo was such a person. He was extremely ruthless when his navy had an advantage, and he often robbed and even slaughtered innocent fishing and merchant ships.

But when facing the main fleet of the Tang army and the powerful real battleships, he was not even as good as his adjutant.

However, at the moment when he desperately admitted that Cyric's tattered battleship was no match for the original product of the Datang Group, he suddenly understood something.

Yes, if you don't struggle now, it seems that you will die in the end!If he is struggling, there is still a faint, bleak hope more or less!

So he suddenly turned around and ordered loudly: "Turn! The bow of the ship is facing the enemy ship! Get close to the enemy's battle line at the fastest speed!"

This is his desperate way of fighting, because the speed of the warships of the Phantom Army is not as fast as that of the Tang Army, and at the same time, the defense power seems to be unable to withstand the attack of the artillery of the Tang Army's warships.

Under such a major premise, what can be relied on is nothing more than the 320mm caliber, bluffing main gun advantage.

If it is at a very short distance, taking advantage of the power of the 320mm caliber main gun, he may be able to replace two, or three enemy battleships.

At that time, both sides will suffer, even if he dies here today, he will not become the idiot who cursed the whole country and humiliated the country.

Thinking of this, he involuntarily clenched his fists: "Even if only the artillery at the bow can attack, we must quickly get closer!"

Hearing the order, the helmsman was slightly dazed, and then had no choice but to bite the bullet and carry out Kazuo Mirage's order.

He turned the steering wheel in front of him, and then the two mirage battleships driving at high speed started to turn in unison.

A few seconds later, Tang Jun's observation post noticed something strange. He rubbed his eyes, then picked up the binoculars again, and then confirmed the fact that the two battleships of the Mirage Navy were turning.

So, he shouted loudly: "The enemy ship is turning! Attention! The enemy ship is turning! The enemy ship is turning rapidly!"

Bernard heard the news of the turning of the enemy ship, and picked up the binoculars to look at the distant target again. He saw that the two battleships of Mirage were turning their bows, and it seemed that they were not going to escape.

"What are they going to do? Just now they were going to turn to escape, and now they are rushing over again?" Unable to guess what the enemy ship was going to do, he frowned and looked at his adjutant.

His adjutant shook his head, not knowing exactly what the enemy commander was trying to do.But soon, a staff officer who thought he was smart gave his opinion: "General, it may be a tactic to lure us."

"They first turned to pretend to leave, luring us to turn to pursue. Then they suddenly turned around and rushed towards us to shorten the distance between the two sides." The staff officer explained.

Bernard nodded, agreeing with this analysis, but now that the distance between the two sides has been shortened to about 8 kilometers, he can't afford to change the order just because the enemy ship is rushing over.

"If the distance keeps getting closer, the probability of them hitting us will increase." The adjutant still reminded Bernard.

Bernard was a little hesitant, because the increased probability of the enemy hitting his warship also meant that the probability of his own hitting the enemy ship would also increase.

He now also faces a choice: If he orders distance, then there is a guarantee of safety.This way of flying a kite is the safest way to ensure that he can win in a harmless way.

And if he ordered to maintain the route, it would be tantamount to saying that he was going to decide the winner before the enemy ship approached.This is a test of the accuracy of one's own bombardment, as well as the luck of the enemy ship.

At the beginning, Bernard preferred to use the kite tactics of RUN&GUN to safely end the naval battle and wipe out the opponent without injury.

But soon he realized a serious problem!time!
Looking at his watch, Bernard knew that if the naval battle was delayed like this, the sky would gradually darken.

If the sky is completely dark, no matter how embarrassed the mirage's navy is, they can escape successfully and flee thousands of miles away.

When the sun rises tomorrow morning, it is impossible for Tang Jun to find any remaining mirage naval warships.

It is a difficult multiple-choice question whether to take the risk of letting go of part of the mirage navy to ensure their own safety, or to let go of their hands and feet here and fight for a part of the loss to wipe out the mirage navy.

Bernard was thinking hard, and the passage of time seemed to be forcing him to make a choice that determined his fate.

"The bow of the enemy ship is already facing us!" As if to remind Bernard, the adjutant put down the binoculars and shouted loudly.

Bernard chose the kite-flying method cautiously in the end. He didn't think it was necessary to take risks because he had already won the naval battle.

The navy of the mirage army will definitely not be able to revive in a short time. He has already controlled the dominance of the northern seas and cut off the route between mirage and Beiyuan City. He has completed his strategic goal.

In this case, there is absolutely no need for him to continue to take risks. He only needs to hold on to the victory he has already obtained, and then he can send the good news back to the country.

So, Bernard raised his head and ordered: "Correct the course, turn the left rudder fifteen! Keep the distance from the enemy ship!"

Hearing this order, the adjutant knew that Bernard had made up his mind to consolidate the victory he had won, so he didn't say anything, and immediately repeated Bernard's order loudly.

Afterwards, Tang Jun's battleship began to turn, and this turn, in the eyes of Mirage Kazuo, made him immediately swallowed by despair.

His enemy really didn't give him a chance at all. The enemy commander took advantage of the speed and wisely opened the distance, preparing to take advantage of the long-distance artillery battle.

This style of play with no chance of survival is really not interesting to watch, but it is the most reasonable and safest choice.

"They actually avoided the battle! They shamelessly avoided the battle!" A man in the mirage stared at the Tang army battleship that was turning, and roared angrily.

"General, the front main gun is loaded and ready to fire." The adjutant reminded Kazuo Mirage kindly.

Gritting his teeth, the mirage man waved his arm forward and ordered: "Fire! This is the last chance!"

"Boom!" The front main guns of the two battleships of Mirage spewed out dazzling flames. A few seconds later, a spectacular water column rose up beside the Tang battleship that was turning.

And in this water column, as if the heavens were rewarding the crazy people, a ball of flames billowed from the tail of the No. The battleship's rear main gun turret!
……

"Actually, the larger the caliber of the artillery, the better. Modern technology is three-dimensional. If you want to increase the power of a weapon, you can't just use a simple and rough way to increase the caliber." Far away in Linshui City, Datang Kingdom An engineer explains naval guns to a group of his students at the Navy's new shipyard.

"Compared with the army's artillery, especially the howitzer, the biggest difference between the battleship's artillery and the army's artillery is actually the length of the barrel and the pressure of the barrel." He wrote and drew on the blackboard, next to a side-cut model of a naval gun.

"To put it simply, the navy's naval guns belong to the cannon system, while the army's artillery tends to be howitzers." He dropped the chalk, then picked up the pointer and tapped on the blackboard: "Because only high-pressure, high-caliber artillery , in order to obtain a higher muzzle velocity, a faster flight speed, a straighter ballistic trajectory, and a longer range.”

His students were documenting, and he gave some time to these recording students.Behind him is a dense blackboard writing, and there is a lot of content taught in this class.

"With the development of technology, the artillery used by the army will also develop in the direction of cannon howitzers, but now we can't let the artillery of the army also use expensive naval artillery." After finishing speaking, he dropped The pointer picked up the model in front of him and walked towards the aisle between the desks.

"Yes, the navy's artillery has many advantages, but also has many problems. The biggest problem is weight and price." He continued: "Under the same technical parameters, cannons are more expensive and cumbersome, so they are not suitable for army equipment. However, the Navy has no such concerns.”

"Because artillery is much cheaper than expensive and important warships, it is a matter of course to equip warships with artillery with better performance as much as possible." Speaking of this, he gave a summary.

"So, Cyric's 320mm heavy artillery may not be more powerful than our 305mm heavy artillery?" A student raised his hand to ask.

The teacher laughed, as if hearing a funny question.However, after laughing, he still replied seriously: "Of course, our heavy artillery uses the most advanced metallurgical technology, and the materials are also the best that the technical department has produced, with the best performance parameters. If Cyric If they can surpass it, how could they still be working so hard to recruit so many technical engineers?"

"Believe me, there is no team with more advanced technology than ours in this world." He is full of confidence and has a bright eye.
