Chapter 221 Various harassment and anti-harassment strategies
"Can anyone tell me what to do now?" The Gun God looked at the battleship that was burning not far away and asked the think tanks around him. This article was first released by...
A think tanker said without thinking: "These should be mines dropped by the Frost Rose Alliance fleet during the movement. The purpose is probably to hinder our speed of travel, so I think it's enough to carry out anti-mine combat."
"Fuck." A think tank next to him shouted to the think tank who was talking before: "You have any eyes or brain problems? These are not mines thrown by the Frost Rose Alliance fleet at all. The first ship that just touched the mine can be said to be the mine that just passed through the gap in the front of the fleet and was hit by this battle patrol. However, the concentrated contacts of the ships behind indicate that the area is obviously a minefield. However, with such a dense minefield, the warship in front is fine, but the fleet in the middle was shot. In such an obvious situation, you can still talk lies with your eyes open and say what the floating thunder thrown by the Frost Rose Alliance warship. Can your floating thunder automatically choose the target?"
"What did you think?" The accused guy said in anger and quibbled: "If it weren't for the floating thunder, would you say there were those mines?"
"Idiot." The think tank behind him cursed with contempt, then turned to the Gun God and said: "President, the mines were not triggered by our fleet at the first time, which means that they were not at the depth that could be triggered at that time. Therefore, I think these mines were released by submarines from below our fleet. The other party aimed at our location and calculated the time for the mine to float up for release, so the explosion points were basically concentrated in the center of the fleet. Because this is the most dense place for ships and it is not easy to make mistakes. And only in this way can we explain why the warship in front drove over, but there was a problem with the warship behind him."
The Gun God lowered his head and thought about this possibility, but found that it was indeed a very possible thing. Our Frost Rose Alliance has a sea clan coalition, which is no longer a secret, because there is a special passage in the Twin Cities of Aisinger that can lead to an underwater altar outside the Twin Cities. However, it is an altar, but there is actually a large living area around. In these areas, all the real sea clans - mermaids.
Because the mermaid race is a relatively famous one among fantasy creatures, there are many tourists in this underwater area. After all, this is the easiest place to see mermaids in the world. In addition, the underwater part of this area has recently established a huge sea god temple. Not only has it begun to transfer to the Sea Fighter profession, but it will also issue tasks.
Of course, the above is just information that ordinary people can access. The Gun God and others actually know a more important information, that is, the underwater altar goes a little further to the deep sea area, which is a large number of secret submarine bases. And those are all submarines operated by sea warriors. The combat capabilities are quite strong.
Based on the fact that our guild will have a large number of submarines. It would be abnormal to say that we did not bring submarines in this battle. Therefore, our guild's submarines must have come out and must have been cruising nearby to find fighter jets. Then, based on this, it would be inferred that it would be too normal if these submarines release mines underwater to attack.
"What you said makes sense. The submarines of the Frost Rose League must be nearby. It is not impossible for them to release mines." The Gun God thought for a long time and still felt that what the think tank said later was more reliable.
In fact, what they didn't know was that half of what the two people said was correct. The mines that just attacked these warships were not completely arranged in one way, but were half used as submarines, and the other half were floating thunder.
Half of what the two guys thought was correct. It is indeed difficult for ordinary floating thunder to cross the battleship in the front to attack the battleship behind, but the floating thunder we used is equipped with a timed floating device. After being dropped, the depth will be fixed at a depth of 150 meters under the water. According to the settings of the internal timer, the high-pressure air tank will be triggered after the countdown of the timer is completed, and then some sea water in the lightning body will be discharged to make the lightning body float, thereby entering the triggerable depth.
The manufacturing process of this kind of mine is not complicated at all, but the accuracy is often not easy to master. After all, the enemy may not reach the designated position according to the time you designed. Usually, this kind of mine is prepared for submarines. When the submarine is engaged in a mission to block the sea area, if the mine is discovered too early, the safety of the submarine itself will be threatened. Therefore, the best way is to release this timed floating mine. Just calculate the working time of the submarine and then time the mines. In this way, all mines will float at the same time after the mine is arranged. In this way, it is unlikely that the submarine will encounter danger because the mine is discovered in advance.
The American fleet and the Russian fleet have been moving towards Aisinger. Not only is the speed fixed, but the direction is locked, so we can accurately calculate the time they pass through a certain area, so it is much easier to set up a timed floating mine.
In addition to these mines thrown directly by our warships, our submarine troops were not idle either. The underwater combat units produced by Atlantis moved faster than American surface ships, and the underwater concealed operation ability of these Atlantis submarine troops was absolutely beyond imagination. They didn't even know that they were attacked before the mines were triggered. These submarines used steel cables with movable buckles to pull the mines from the bottom of the battleship group to the vicinity of the other party, and then looked for a suitable target to release the insurance. The large mines would start to float up under the action of buoyancy, and then accurately hit the battleship passing by above their heads.
Although other ships did not intend to slow down after the attack on the Holy Gun Alliance, because there were still many people and supplies falling into the water on these bombed ships, some ships were still needed to stay for salvage. The remaining warships needed to bypass this area. On the one hand, they were to avoid the survivors and scattered materials in the water, and on the other hand, they were also to avoid the remaining mines that might exist in this area.
This detour will naturally slow down, so the Russian fleet found that the speed of the fleet on the Holy Spear Alliance was significantly slower.
The Frozen Banshee turned her head and looked at the US fleet in confusion, and then asked your first mate beside her. "What's going on with the Holy Spear Alliance? Why did the speed slow down?"
"Just just now, several ships in the middle of their fleet touched mines, and it seemed that they had exploded and sunk."
"Touching lightning?"
"I'm not very clear about the specific situation. I just knew that I had encountered a mine, and it was very powerful. Several ships were sunk, including a battle cruiser."
"The American ship is not resistant to fucking." After the Frozen Banshee finished speaking, she suddenly said to the first mate: "I don't want to be laughed at by ordering our ships to put down the lightning protection net."
The so-called lightning protection net is actually a modified fishing net, and the line is still the same line. It is just that there are some plumb hanging below. When the lightning protection net is placed down, an interception net can be formed one meter away from the hull outside the hull. When a mine or torpedo approaches the ship, it will be entangled by this net, so that the torpedo or mine trigger port cannot touch the outer shell of the warship, which makes it impossible to detonate. Moreover, even if it is triggered by the fishing net, the torpedo or mine that explodes one meter away is far less powerful than the explosion directly on the outer wall.
It can be said that the command of the Frozen Banshee was super accurate. Because the order on her side had just been conveyed. The fast-reacting warship just put down the lightning protection net. I suddenly found something was hanging on the Internet, and then I heard two explosions coming from both directions at the same time.
The Russian fleet was obviously attacked by mines, but unlike the Holy Gun Alliance, the Frozen Banshee made advance deployment because of the previous lessons of the Holy Gun Alliance. As a result, most of the mines were intercepted at the critical moment, and only two slow-responsive warships touched the mines. One of them was a super heavy battleship. Although it touched the mines, it only caused slight damage. The other fast cruiser was slightly miserable and basically lost its ability to move. However, because only this ship was damaged, it could be dragged away by other warships, and basically had no big impact.
When the Russians saw the large mines entangled by the lightning protection net, they felt quite grateful. If they were three or five minutes later, there would not be only two ships that were caught. Conservatively, at least a dozen ships would touch mines, and less than half of them survived.
Although the American fleet and the Russian fleet suffered losses this time, the losses were not too great. Compared with the number of ships in the fleet, the loss was really small. What made the Gun God and the Frozen Banshee really sad was not the loss, but the morale of the insiders of the guild.
Since the double-team tactic was discovered, the American fleet and the Russian fleet have been in continuous harassment by our side, first with shelling and then with mines. I don’t know what happened later. During this process, the American fleet and the Russian fleet lost only less than 100 warships in total. It can be said that the losses are very small, but the passive beating taste is not good. Originally, the American fleet and the Russian fleet were already a joint fleet composed of enemies, and the internal unstable internally. In this case, if the pressure from outside continues to be under external pressure, the leaders of both sides are worried whether the internal personnel will choose to vent their anger because they cannot resist this pressure.
Although our fleet has not dared to confront their joint fleet head-on, this is because they are a joint fleet. If we separate them and simply face the fleet of either of the United States and Russia, we will never be afraid of them. Therefore, whether it is the Gun God or the Frost Banshee, we know that the joint fleet of both sides cannot be separated, otherwise no matter who the American fleet and the Russian fleet are taken out alone, they will not be the opponent of our Frost Rose Alliance fleet.
Just because we were worried that this situation would happen, both sides were trying their best to suppress the occurrence of unpleasant events and did not even dare to join together into a fleet. However, even so, the pressure on both sides was very great, and now we are constantly increasing this pressure, which is a problem that both the Frozen Banshee and the Gun God are quite troublesome.
Just when the Frozen Banshee and the Gun God were worried that their people would not be able to hold on, bad news followed.
"Not good, no good." A Russian player stumbled into the bridge, then pointed to the sky above and shouted: "There are a large number of Frost Rose League flying units found ahead."
“Where?”
“Fifty kilometers away.”
With the member's report, the frozen banshee rushed outside the bridge, then stood on the terrace outside the bridge, holding a telescope to observe the sky in front of her. Almost in a few seconds, she discovered the aircraft reported by her subordinates because they were too many, and there were a large area of black in the distant sky, looking like locusts.
"What the hell is this? Why are there so many?"
Our guild's small aircraft has just been developed for not long. This is the first time we have participated in a battle, so even the Frozen Banshee doesn't know this thing. However, although they don't know our aircraft, they at least know that what can fly is not easy to deal with. Our guild was not without air units before. On the contrary, our air units not only have, but also have a lot of air units. However, most of the flying troops such as Warcraft have the disadvantage of high maneuver power and low attack power, and their endurance is not very good. In terms of artificial aircraft, the cost of large air combat units is too exaggerated, even our guild is not
It was just a part of it. There was no way to produce in large quantities. As for small flying units, so far, only the mobile angels of our guild can barely be counted as one. However, although the mobile angels are very powerful, they are equally expensive and difficult to produce. They have never been on a scale. However, the black spots that cover the sky and the sun are at least tens of thousands. Such a terrible number is either a new type of aircraft or a breakthrough in the production technology of our guild. In any case, it is definitely not a good thing for the American fleet and the Russian fleet.
"President, those things don't look like mobile angels!" said a player from Banshee House, put down his telescope.
The Frozen Banshee nodded and said, "It's true that it's not. It looks like it's some kind of aircraft, and it's not a human form without limbs."
"There are so many, if we all carry bombs, wouldn't we all be finished?" said a woman from the other side of Russia to the family.
"It shouldn't be." The Frost Banshee said: "The power of the man-made objects in the game is usually related to the cost. Although there are some things that can amplify the power several times or dozens of times, it is not too exaggerated. The number of things in the Frost Rose Alliance means that the cost is not high, so the power is definitely not that great. But this thing is a new weapon of the Frost Rose Alliance, so it still needs to be treated with caution."
"Thanks to the fact that our guild's warships had undergone air defense transformation before, otherwise this time would be miserable."
