The reconnaissance plane took off, and the Japanese Navy's Kaohiro was on the run. Such a warship was very expensive. It would usually take several years from the laying of the keels to the completion of the service. The Japanese Navy's military expenditure was very limited, and it was impossible to destroy a warship like the American Navy.
It was normal for them to run away when they couldn't win. Before they had even traveled a kilometer, the Gao Xiong had already been hit by the Proud Sky's secondary cannon and the Ritian No. 2's main cannon. The hull of the ship had been hit by several shells. The shells that missed also caused a large splash. Because it was a high-explosive shell, dozens of passengers outside the Gao Xiong had been killed or injured. However, the remaining people continued to fire back and hurriedly put out the fire.
Because the hull was not wide, the number of shells hitting the Gaoxiong was not many. As a heavy cruiser, such damage was still acceptable. As long as it was brought back to the shipyard for repair, it would still be a good ship.
Two of the three turrets on the High Gorgeous were placed at the rear. They probably knew that the Sun and Sky were easy to bully, so they fired a few rounds at the Sun and Sky-2. The 203mm cannon only fired three rounds and the Sun and Sky-2 was severely injured. It seemed that the Sun and Sky-2 had lost its ability to pursue. Although it could not sink, the fire that it had caused was a huge hidden danger.
Three minutes later, the ship was out of the range of the Pride's main cannon. The fire on the ship was extinguished, but looking at the rising black smoke, it would probably not last until it was brought back to the shipyard for a major repair.
The Japanese soldiers on the transport ship were cursing the navy. These bastards ran too fast and did not care about their lives at all. The three Destroyers had already run away when the flagship was taken out. Reality was not a game. Destroyers could not get close to the battleship so easily and fire torpedoes. The dense secondary cannons would teach them a lesson.
The transport ship, which was fully loaded with weapons and people, only had a speed of 12 knots. It did not take long for the destroyer to catch up. The destroyer first fired at the transport ship with its cannons and then released groups of torpedoes at the transport ship. The trajectory of the torpedoes scared all the Japanese to death. Some of the Japanese crew members had already jumped off the ship in advance. Otherwise, when the ship sank, the huge vortex would engulf everyone nearby.
The power of torpedoes was extremely powerful, and they could cause huge damage to warships, not to mention the fragile civilian ships. A single torpedo could send them to the bottom of the sea. Moreover, every transport ship had taken two to three torpedoes. The places where the torpedoes hit had huge holes, and seawater was surging in crazily. The poor Japanese army was in a miserable situation. There were only a few life balloons and lifeboats on the ship, and they could not pull so many people. One could imagine their fate.
From afar, many merchant ships were watching the battle. Warships with the Japanese flag were attacking their own transport ships. If word got out, the Japanese would lose all their face. Many people recognized the model of the warship. Other than the battleship model, everyone else was recognized.
If these Japanese arrived in Shanghai, they would cause a lot of casualties to the Chinese army. However, at sea, they had no other use other than feeding the fish. These Japanese navy were really disloyal and directly abandoned the Chinese army. The Japanese army and navy, which were already on bad terms, would definitely argue for a long time because of this matter.
The news of the end of the battle came from his phone. The battle damage ratio was one to six. The enemy's Gaoxiong and his Ritian-2 were both heavily damaged. Wei Chenghong clicked on the screen and chose to put the Ritian-2 and the sailors on board back into the system dock. In an encounter, the performance of the two Tianlong class ships disappointed Wei Chenghong. Their firepower was weak and they could not withstand a beating. They could not fire torpedoes, and artillery could not beat the new ships of the Japanese Navy.
"Congratulations to player Wei Chenghong for obtaining 4580 EXP and 127200 silver coins. He has been promoted to the rank of First Lieutenant and can provide one skill point to all captains.”The system meant that all the captains had no skills. Their skills were provided by Wei Chenghong. In other words, the higher Wei Chenghong's level was, the more skills the captains could have.
"Can we let them distribute it automatically?”Wei Chenghong opened the skill screen. The captains 'avatars were all there, and the skills were the same as in the game.
"Sure."
"Then let them distribute it automatically. We didn't earn much from this battle and even sank the ship.”
"Don't worry, the wreckage can be recycled. The total maintenance cost is one-third of the purchase price.”
Wei Chenghong summarized the lessons of this battle. Although the enemy was caught off guard, the performance of the Dragon Class cruiser was too poor. This ship had been in service for 20 years, and its performance was not even as good as a destroyer.
Of course, the system couldn't repair the warship immediately. The damaged Ritian No. 2 took five hours, while the sunk Ritian No. 1 took a day. The crew of Ritian No. 1 was taken to the flagship, the Pride, causing the living facilities on the Pride to be insufficient.
Originally, Tatsumi also had a room, but now she could only squeeze with Wei Chenghong. This was the best choice.
After deducting the cost of maintenance, Wei Chenghong had earned more than 80,000 silver coins. The high daily maintenance cost of the fleet was like a magic spell on Wei Chenghong's head. If there were more ships, the maintenance cost would be more than 10,000. Reality was not a game. Every crew member had to sleep and eat. The warships also had to burn oil. The ammunition also needed silver coins. The replenishment of personnel also needed silver coins.
" I'll go out for a while," Wei Chenghong said." You should hurry up."”It was probably time to take a bath. Wei Chenghong knew that a hasty heart could not eat hot beans. He walked out of the cabin and walked towards the island of the Prideful Heaven. The sea at night was very calm. The warships that had stopped moving had thrown their anchors into the sea. Other than the patrolling sailors, most of the sailors were resting.
Wei Chenghong, who was bored, opened the warship's technology tree. He lit up a total of six warships, two battleships, two cruisers, and two destroyer. The IV class aircraft carrier, Fengxiang, could be lit up, but he didn't have enough experience. Even if he lit it up, he didn't have enough silver coins to buy it. The damn Fengxiang class aircraft carrier cost 900,000 silver coins, which was a little more expensive than a battleship.
He wanted to light up the Class IV Cruiser Ball Mill, but when he saw the purchase price of 760,000, his mood was instantly blocked. The motherf * cking cruiser was too much. The only good thing about it was that it had better anti-air firepower than the Heavenly Dragon. It should be known that World War II was the world of aircraft carriers. In the Japanese Navy, the combat results of aircraft carrier formations were much better than battleship formations.
"These silver coins are too useless. Is there no other way to obtain silver coins other than fighting and completing missions?”Wei Chenghong was naturally asking about the system. This thing was on standby for 24 hours, so its battery was always full.
