Chapter 1282: 1283 Same miserable
"Look!" On the outside of the combined fleet, on the deck of the Qin Guo's Courage destroyer, the sentry in charge pushed his companion's shoulder.
The sleepy companion rubbed his eyes: "What's going on? It's been a day and I'm exhausted. Can you let me sleep for a while and stop making trouble?"
“Look over there!” The sentry who discovered the abnormality continued to shake his companion until his companion also looked at the sky in the distance.
His eyes suddenly widened, and he lost all sleepiness in an instant. Because he saw a lot of meteors, many, many "meteors" attacking their fleet!
"Oh my God..." The sentries of the Courage saw a meteor passing over the sea near the battleship they were on with a whistling sound. The sound even covered up the sound of the waves and the engine.
The sentry who first discovered the anomaly turned around and shouted in the direction of the bridge: "Enemy attack! There is an enemy attack!"
A few seconds later, the battle alarm sounded in the destroyer HMS Courage. After being fooled for a whole day, the crew of the HMS Courage finally caught up with the large force and rolled from their hammocks to the floor.
Without even putting on their clothes, they found their posts in the dark. They were so familiar with the ship that it felt like their own home.
After putting on his helmet, the captain walked to the third officer on duty and grabbed the binoculars: "Damn it, how did things become like this?"
In the darkness where the sharp bow of his destroyer pointed, extremely far away, a flame was burning.
That is the battleship Shushan of the Qin Empire, named after Shushan City. The battleship was exploding at this moment. It seemed that the explosion was not the ammunition depot, but the fire was out of control.
A little further away, another unclear fire group was expanding and gradually became clear: it was the Qin State's aircraft carrier Zhennan.
An aircraft carrier built by the Qin State itself, the first aircraft carrier of the Qin Empire! It refers to the basic design of the Essex-class aircraft carrier and has made some corresponding modifications. The overall performance is quite good.
At that time, Qin and Tang were still in their honeymoon period. The Tang State provided Qin with aircraft carrier drawings in advance, which can be said to be quite generous.
Now, this huge ship that witnessed the friendship between Qin and Tang was exploding and burning. The fire almost engulfed the entire flight deck of the warship.
“Speed up!” The captain put down the telescope, looked at the officer in charge of power, and ordered: “Get closer to the Shushan! See if the other party needs rescue...”
Before he finished speaking, there was a frightening whistling sound above their heads, and a meteor streaked across the sky, heading straight towards the Shushan from above their heads.
Everyone in the bridge shrank in fear. When they looked up again, they saw that the light spot was only one step away from the Shushan.
The next second, the flames engulfed the hull of the battleship Shushan, and then everyone on the destroyer saw a flash of light on the heavy armor of the battleship, and the entire battleship seemed to tremble.
“Boom!” The battleship that was already on fire exploded violently again, and the sky-high flames illuminated the surrounding sea. A nearby cruiser was turning around quickly, and the searchlight in the middle of the cruiser shone on the Shushan.
"Order cancelled! No need to get over." Even a fool knows that the Shushan is doomed. Now that we are approaching the past, we may be implicated in the Shushan explosion. Under such circumstances, how many of the officers and soldiers of the Shushan can survive depends on God's will. After canceling the order, the captain of the destroyer Courage then ordered: "Correct the route, go around, and find a way to rescue the aircraft carrier Zhennan..."
While he was speaking, something suddenly fell outside the porthole and hit the deck with a "bang" sound.
In an instant, everyone in the bridge was stunned, and the hairs on their bodies stood up. The captain almost fell down. The thought that flashed through his mind was: It's over, he is going to die for his country.
After waiting for a while, everyone found that there was no violent explosion. Then everyone stood up straight. Some people went out to ask what had fallen. When they came back, they reported the situation to their captain: "It's a railing."
"Railrails?" The captain of the Courage frowned and reprimanded dissatisfiedly: "The battleship is so new, how come the railings break and fall off? How are they maintained on a daily basis?"
“Captain, it’s not our railing.” The returning officer replied awkwardly: “I don’t know where it came from.”
The captain was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Shushan that was exploding in the distance, and seemed to understand something: "Accelerate!... Send power to the Shushan, and wish them good luck."
"The interference is too strong, they may not be able to receive our messages..." the officer in charge of communications reminded awkwardly.
"Send it." The first mate knew what his captain meant and said to the communications officer: "This is the last thing we can do."
The captain of the silent destroyer Courage saw more "meteors" flying into the dark distance at this time. There are more and more important combined fleet battleships there.
"It's over..." This was a thought that came to the mind of the captain of the Courage. A day ago, he felt that the combined fleet was invincible.
At that time, he saw the fleet lying across the anchorage in the distance. 10 aircraft carriers gathered together and more than 700 carrier-based aircraft!
This is no joke! There are a total of 700 carrier-based aircraft, 10 aircraft carriers, and battleships guarding the side. No opponent dares to challenge such a fleet!
It's a pity...this heroic feeling only lasted for one day. In other words, it only lasted for one day and then disappeared. The other party didn't even show their face, and beat this huge combined fleet into panic.
John Cleeves watched as another Dorne aircraft carrier was hit by a missile, and his face turned the color of pig liver. He didn't know that the aircraft carrier Zhennan in the rear had also been seriously injured. At this time, half of the 10 aircraft carriers in his hands were unable to fight.
"Report! The battleship Prince Ryder was hit and the ammunition depot exploded..." An officer once again walked to John Cleeves' side, stood at attention and saluted and reported the news he had just learned.
At present, almost half of the main warships of the combined fleet have been lost, and the remaining warships are also injured and disabled.
John Cleeves no longer expects to turn defeat into victory. All he has in mind now is the idea of how to save the fleet. If he could escape from the battlefield immediately, he would rather sacrifice himself.
