Chapter 3 Operation Yellow Bird
After the bombardment, I personally led the players in the meeting into the Japanese warship to clean up the enemies inside. Although the blockade just now stopped most of the enemies, a few people still entered the ship. The cleanup work went smoothly, there were not many enemies, and they were all knocked unconscious. We solved the battle in twos and twos. Hanging the battleship and dragging it behind the Eternal, the fleet continued to move towards the next city.
Everyone had a great time today. The battle lasted all night, and we fought at the speed of one city in 30 minutes for the whole night. When the sun rose from the east the next morning, the players in the meeting couldn't hold on anymore. The three warships used up 95% of their ammunition that night, and all the players couldn't stand it anymore. The front main gun of the Eternal is now like a fire stick, and a group of NPC crew members are pouring water on the outside of the gun barrel to cool down. If the cooling measures had not been started in advance last night, the tube would have turned red!
Of course, war cannot be just about destruction. In addition to clearing cities, our main job is to support war with war. The guild equipment warehouse in the city and some precious materials are all good things. The cargo holds of the three battleships are not big enough, so I had no choice but to put them all into my space door. In addition to these small things, we also found 5 nearly completed warships and towed them away together. Rona, who had red hair, stood in the cabin holding a pile of jewelry and laughed: "Haha! Still enjoying my old job!" Dizzy! These pirates are following me and I guess they won’t be able to change their ways!
In addition to fighting at night, I also asked the players in the club to log off several times. Anyway, the players in Sakura Club all live together. I asked these players to log off, forced the players who stayed in the city to exit the game, and then asked about the city. He told them that the Japanese fleet had arrived in China and asked them to prepare early.
At 6:30 in the morning, three warships each towed two Japanese warships loaded with trophies and left Japan to return home. Behind us are the ruins of nine smoking cities. Perhaps only the size of those ruins shows how glorious they were before. (Let me explain in advance, there is no conflict between visiting 9 cities in one night and one city in 30 minutes. You will have to waste time on the road. The cities are not one after another.)
During the return journey, I did not ask the players to go offline to rest. Who knows whether they might encounter the Japanese fleet returning home on the way. Anyway, "Zero" has an auxiliary sleep function, so I let the players sleep on the ship first. More than an hour later we entered the storm zone again. This time the weather was better. Although the storm still existed, the waves were not as big as last night.
After advancing for a while in the wind and waves, a report suddenly came from the observation room. "Report! The target is found right ahead. There is an entire fleet in ship shadows 14, 15, 16..., 57, 58,...!"
I quickly got down from the helmsman's position and woke up King Chuang. "Get up, battle alert!"
"Ah?" King Chuang was still confused and didn't respond for a moment, so I simply grabbed him and shook him hard. "Stop shaking, wake up, wake up, wake up now!"
Putting down King Chuang, I quickly sounded the alarm: "Attention everyone, all personnel are in position, a large fleet has been spotted ahead."
"What should we do? There are too many, we can't defeat them!" King Chuang used the observation glass to pay attention to the enemies in front.
The door was suddenly opened, and Rose stumbled in. "What's the matter?"
Chuang Wang gave her the observation mirror, and Rose looked at the opening of the observation mirror. "so much?"
"All Japan's warships of more than 10,000 tons are here. Only if there are not many will there be a problem." King Chuang said worriedly.
I raised my head and shouted to the observation room: "Estimate the number of enemy ships."
The NPC observer immediately reported: "The number is more than 400."
"One to a hundred is more. This number is too big. If we rush over like this, we will be finished."
As I was talking, the NPC operator next to the command room suddenly reported: "The hydrophone found and captured the special propeller noise, confirmed to be Japanese submarines, more than 50 in number."
"Good guy, there's a lot of stuff!"
Rose suddenly said: "How about sending out the air force and underwater troops first?"
"You want to use the guardian beast to attack?" Rose's opinion shocked me.
Rose nodded and said: "There are still a lot of explosives on the ship. Launching a strong attack from the air and underwater is a good choice."
"Okay then." I picked up the loudspeaker and gave the order. "Attention all personnel, release your lances and send out the Steel Claws."
There are only more than 100 players on the three ships, and most of the positions are handled by NPCs, but there is nothing we can do now. I put my space door on the deck and asked Fenglong to release my magic pets. Unfortunately, luckily I am not connected to the server and it cannot be used for the time being!
Amynis stood on the top of the Eternal's mast and began to use her super illusion. Suddenly, an identical Eternal appeared around the Eternal, and then one battleship appeared one after another. Our side quickly went from 3 warships to 300 warships. Although 7 of them were illusions, the Japanese didn't know it. Let them fight slowly for a while. If you can find the target, you are considered good. At this time, the distance between the two sides is close to 100 kilometers, which means that we have entered the effective range.
I stood on the bow of the ship and drew out the Eternal Sword and pointed it forward. "Attack!" Boom! The three forward cannons showed off their power and knocked me to the ground. I was so excited just now that I forgot to hide in the cabin! The fake fleet on our side fired at the same time, but in fact only 45 shells flew out. The Japanese fleet on the opposite side suddenly heard the sound of volleying artillery shells. Before they could react, they were hit by a pile of artillery shells and were stunned. The bow of the Japanese warship running at the front was shot, and the entire bow sank into the water and the stern tilted up. The huge battleship was turned over by the huge cannonball.
I originally wanted Emeneis to simulate the water column of a shell falling into the water near the opponent, but Emeneis said it was beyond her ability. It is not easy to maintain such a large illusion.
Until the end of the first round of shelling, the Japanese warships had not discovered us. Our warships were equipped with super observers bought from Germany. When the weather was good, they could see even small sampans within 0 kilometers. The Japanese could Without this giant observation equipment, their observation limit is only 90 kilometers, which is still unclear. At this point we were still out of their sight and very safe.
The next step was to take advantage of the range and start bombarding non-stop, while I jumped on Ye Ying's back and led the air force to attack. More than one hundred and twenty spears followed my dragon and flew up. We all carried a large number of explosive bags with us, which were specially used for bombing. Xiao Longnu jumped off the side of the ship with her steel claw troops, which were underwater troops.
Yeying took long strides and ran directly in the air, followed by a large air force approaching the fleet at high speed. The Japanese finally discovered us, but they are still far away now, so they can only look at us for the time being. The air force was faster than 100 kilometers and passed quickly, and the Japanese anti-aircraft artillery also began to attack. The three giant dragons didn't even throw away the crossbows. The crossbow arrows that had been shot so high had long since lost their power. The tank had a higher defense than the dragon, so they were not worried. Xiaofeng and Langzi simply flew on top of the dragon and used the dragon's help to resist the attack. The pike troops followed my flying birds and swayed to avoid the crossbows. The flying skills of these guys were unparalleled, and the crossbows couldn't even 'touch' their sides.
When we approached the sky above the Japanese fleet, we really realized how huge the fleet was. A large number of warships moved on the sea with amazing momentum. But I don't have much time to appreciate their momentum. It's our job to send them all to the bottom of the sea.
"Asuka. Attack!"
The flying bird leading the team suddenly pressed its wings to the left, and its whole body rolled and dived down. The spears from behind followed closely by rolling and diving, and the scene was simply like the mass bombing of the Stuka, Germany's ace dive bomber. After discovering the dive of the spear troops, the Japanese anti-aircraft firepower immediately became intensive. Not only flying crossbows, but also magicians joined the anti-aircraft sequence. In order to avoid the attack, the spears could no longer maintain their formation. More than a hundred spears tumbled and flew in the air, and crossbow arrows passed by them with the sound of wind. Pieces of fireballs were 'shot' into the sky by the mages, but the speed of these things was not as fast as the crossbow arrows and it was easier to dodge.
The spear team that started diving from an altitude of 800 meters quickly reached an altitude of less than 0 meters above the fleet, and the birds suddenly made a strange sound. stuck, he let go of the explosives hanging under his body and started to pull them up. The spears behind him each looked for targets, aimed at the battleship, dropped the explosives, and then leveled them up and pulled them up. The diving speed of the spear is too fast, and it is difficult to pull it up in a short time after dropping the bomb. 0 meters is already a dangerous height. So more than a hundred spears passed between the warships, and the warships next to them immediately opened fire in the hope of shooting down the spears. However, their efforts were not very rewarding. Only 7 spears were hit by cannonballs, and all of them were hit by stray bullets. It was like a blind cat encountering a mouse.
After the spear brigade roared through the fleet, the simply packaged explosives also came down. There was a rumble of explosions, and fireballs rose from each battleship one after another. Although explosives are not as powerful as artillery shells, it is not a good thing to be bombarded by so many explosives. The 10 target battleships immediately burst into flames, and many nearby battleships were also affected. Although the ironclad ship is made of metal, this does not mean that it is not afraid of fire. As soon as the spearmen returned to the flying height, there was a loud noise. The ammunition depot of the battleship marked Akamaru on the side of the tower exploded, and the entire battleship fell into pieces and began to sink.
I took out explosives from Fenglong Space to equip the spearmen with secondary equipment. One bombing was far from enough to reach our target. The long guns replenished with explosives began to circle, and the second bombing began immediately after all the long guns were equipped. The Japanese warships are helpless against our bombing. The speed of the spear is too fast, especially the dive speed, and the anti-aircraft ballistae is not a threat to them at all. Even the firepower composed of mages was of little use.
Just after our second bombing, two flying dragons suddenly appeared on a large warship behind the fleet. When I saw it myself, it turned out to be the Japanese Flying Dragon aircraft carrier. "Crystal, Plague. Go down and smash that aircraft carrier for me. Tank and the mistress go over there. There is another one over there."
The four big guys immediately followed the order and attacked. The aircraft carriers were all behind the fleet, which brought a lot of convenience to our attack. The anti-aircraft firepower on the battleships is mainly in the front and less in the rear. It is very safe for us to approach them from the rear. Plague dodged a few magic missiles and then pounced on the flying dragon that was about to take off. The flying dragon that had just left the ground was stepped back to the ground by Plague from above. Before it could resist, the plague bit off its neck. Crystal was even more cruel, and the flying dragon on her side was trampled to death by her. The two dragons quickly rushed to the bridge in the middle of the hull. The warships next to them did not dare to fire for fear of hitting their own people. The two dragons rushed to the bridge without any resistance. Plague opened a hatch and faced a mouthful of dragon flames inside. Every hole in the ship began to burst into flames, and the deck of the battleship slowly began to soften. Crystal cooperated with the plague and tore apart the deck in two or three strokes, but the battleship next to it suddenly opened fire. Perhaps realizing that the aircraft carrier could not be saved, they wanted to provide support, so they opened fire one after another. The two dragons cleverly flew up, and the Japanese's own shells blew their aircraft carrier into pieces.
The tank side was even simpler. He directly used his scythe to pull off the aircraft carrier's control tower and then cut open the take-off deck. Xia San poured a mouthful of dragon flame from the crack, and the entire ship was declared scrapped. After all, flying dragons are magic pets and cannot be mass-produced, so there are only two aircraft carriers in this fleet. Once the opponent's air force is eliminated, there is no need to worry, and the spearmen can safely bomb.
When the Lancers completed the third group of bombings, the Steel Claw team led by Xiao Longnu under the water finally encountered the submarine force. In fact, the submarines everyone builds now are not submarines. At best, they are boats that can operate underwater. The main reason is the lack of two key technologies. One is that there is no way to produce oxygen, and 20 cannot produce torpedoes. The combination of submarines and torpedoes is the submarine in modern warfare. A submarine without torpedoes can only be a diving ship. We Essinger bought a large number of oxygen production machines from Atlantis, which barely solved the problem of oxygen supply for long-term underwater operation, and Atlantis' waterproof partition door also easily solved the problem of water seepage. But we can't build torpedoes, so there's no way to attack underwater. The Japanese are even worse than us. They have to come up for air every once in a while, and they have to drain out the seepage water from the propeller, so they can't be considered real submarines. The steel claw door poses no threat to these submarines underwater, and no submarine will attack underwater.
Xialongnu took the lead and rushed forward, and the steel claws followed one after another. A few large holes are opened in each submarine to allow people to escape. Submarines that are seriously flooded will sink on their own. The mission of the Steel Claws is not a submarine but a battleship. They quickly approach the enemy fleet and start taking action. Each steel claw carries several large bundles of explosives packaged in waterproof packages, and there are sticky attachments on the outside of the packages. After reaching the bottom of the battleship, the steel claw turned around and sucked on the bottom of the ship. Remove the explosives from your body and stick them near the waterline of the hull, then leave quickly. After everything was installed, Xiao Longnu used telepathic contact to inform me that it was finished.
After receiving the notice, I took out the detonating crystal prepared by Crystal Chocolate from my body. After a slight input of magic power, the crystal lit up. Suddenly there was a series of explosions in the fleet below. A battleship with a displacement of 50,000 tons suddenly swayed, and then began to tilt. The hull gradually lost its balance and began to capsize. The bow of the warship next to it suddenly lifted up and crashed back into the water, and then the poor warship burst into the sea with bubbles. Behind them, battleships continued to capsize and sink inexplicably, causing the Japanese to become a mess.
I looked at the fleet that was on fire everywhere below and nodded with satisfaction. I almost ran out of explosives, so I quickly gathered them home and returned to the battleship. At this time, the distance between the two fleets was less than 60 kilometers, and our warships' bombardment never stopped. The Japanese warships were frightened by our fleet. The illusion of Emmenis was copied based on the Eternity, so the battleships in the entire fleet were giant battleships. The Japanese thought it was really a huge Chinese fleet and were so frightened that they quickly ran aside to make way for us.
The Japanese were scared because they thought we had 300 battleships like the Eternal, but we knew we only had 3! So we didn't plan to chase them. The Japanese gave way and we drove over. The two sides just passed by while shooting at each other. This scene felt super strange.
The precise simulation of Ermenis gives each phantom battleship an independent attitude, and it will also simulate explosions and fireworks after being hit by the enemy. Except for the sound, everything is the same. The Japanese do not know these 300 ships from beginning to end. Only 3 of the battleships are real. The whole fleet is the same. Another advantage is that the opponent cannot find the flagship. All the warships look similar. No one knows which ship is the flagship, so they cannot concentrate their firepower on us.
Just when the two sides were about to pass, I suddenly discovered that the Japanese fleet was followed by 11 giant ships, and there were no weapons on these ships. Judging from the draft of those ships, it can be judged that these 11 ships are fully loaded. The Japanese cannot come back empty-handed when they come to our country to cause trouble, so these ships must be carrying loot.
hey-hey! There has never been a precedent for anything I saw running away. "Every ship, please pay attention and knock out the tugboats in front of the 11 cargo ships."
The three warships immediately adjusted the angle of their guns and opened fire. The tugboats suffered immediately. The shells that the warships could not block were a nightmare for the tugboats. The 11 cargo ships' own power was not enough to provide them with sufficient speed, and the cargo ships immediately slowed down as soon as the tugboat sank. The Japanese fleet in front discovered our intention and immediately turned around. I ordered the Eternal to let go of the battleship being dragged behind and rush out. The other two battleships immediately launched a fire deterrent. Emenes also created a large water column near those cargo ships, as if those phantom battleships were also firing. Perhaps the Japanese thought it was not worth sacrificing the entire fleet for these 11 cargo ships. They finally gave up the rescue and turned around and left unwillingly. But a fire suddenly broke out on the cargo ship. These Japanese would rather burn the ship than give it to us! It's a pity that we are fully equipped. There are water spray equipment on the three battleships. With the help of Xiao Longnu's rainstorm technique, the fire was quickly extinguished.
After the Japanese had gone far, we boarded the cargo ships and took a look. Good guys, there are 10 ships full of all kinds of personnel, equipment and valuables. The remaining one is the most outrageous. The lower cabin is full of magic crystals, and the upper cabin is filled with things you can't imagine - NPCs. The Japanese actually captured a lot of free NPCs on the ship. Although most of them were female, there were also male ones, and they were all beautiful. Free NPCs are used to simulate residents in cities. Otherwise, many cities will look empty if the map is too large. These free NPCs have no attack power and no level display. If workers are recruited in the city, they will consciously sign up to be transformed into various NPC workers or farmers. Now there are thousands of beautiful free NPCs bundled in the cabin. Are these Japanese also part-time human traffickers? Besides, these NPCs have no fighting ability. I really don’t know what they are doing by catching these NPCs! Don't you want to open a brothel? The system seems to allow such buildings to exist in Japan, but it is illegal in China.
Anyway, let go of the tied NPCs first, and find a few of them who can speak eloquently and ask about the situation. It turned out that the Japanese fleet began to attack Chinese port cities yesterday afternoon. The Japanese fleet was divided into three groups and attacked separately. The fleets of various Chinese guilds concentrated their efforts to intercept two of the groups and sank more than a hundred Japanese warships. The rest escaped, and the Chinese warships themselves The loss was also around 0 ships, but the result was still acceptable. Regardless of how much we lost, the Japanese actually suffered more. The ones they came over were all big ones with over 10,000 tons. The ones we sank were all small ships and most of them were wooden hulls. So in the end we still had the advantage. The only pity is that the Chinese fleet responsible for intercepting the last Japanese fleet failed to find the target and ran away from the Japanese fleet! The Japanese fleet attacked China's Luping Port and then headed north. Eight cities along the coast were looted and almost all destroyed. Although 8 cities were destroyed, they put up tenacious resistance. The Japanese army also paid the price of 1 warship in order to loot the city. This means that the Japanese army lost nearly 0 warships in this sneak attack. In addition to the fact that the Japanese army lost nearly a hundred warships in the encounter we just had, the entire Japanese fleet suddenly lost about 250 warships.
The Japanese demolished 8 of our cities, and we demolished 9 of theirs, so it was no loss. Besides, we also made a lot of money for nothing. We copied all the things they robbed, and now the Japanese suffered a huge loss. Originally, this time we were going to cover the Sea Dragon's beaching, but we didn't expect that the beaching turned into a robbery! This is called planning failing to keep up with changes.
