In the fog, the Siren cruiser was silently moving forward. The cannons at the front also began to load and turn.
A humanoid Siren was standing on the deck, sensing the surroundings. The aura of the [Ship Girl] that she sensed earlier had already appeared in another place, which made her a little uncomfortable.
[Siren]'s ship had no radar or sonar. They mainly relied on the energy of the [Ship Girl] and the light and sound emitted by the enemy's artillery to determine the direction.
However, the enemy didn't fire at them as usual during this mission. The quantum force field he had activated was also a waste of energy. This gave her a headache.
As the controller of this medium-sized fleet, the humanoid Siren obviously did not want this to happen. Therefore, she was prepared to move the eight ships in front of her back to another direction to continue searching.
[Siren] closed the quantum force field she had opened and connected her mind to the distant ship. After receiving the order, the ship on the other side began to turn and set off towards the newly determined target.
At this moment, a white line suddenly appeared on the calm sea in the fog. However, Siren was still controlling the fleet in the distance and did not notice it.
The white line quickly arrived next to the cruiser under the Siren's feet. When the torpedoes touched the armor belt of the ship, the Siren suddenly felt danger and instantly cut off the connection with the fleet. Then, it immediately activated the quantum force field to prepare for defense.
However, the time it took for the torpedoes to be triggered was obviously faster. When she had just started the force field, the torpedoes exploded outside the ship.
The explosion shook the entire ship violently. The explosives blasted a huge hole in the outer shell of the ship, and seawater began to surge into the interior of the ship.
But in an instant, Siren's quantum force field covered the entire hull, and the seawater was also blocked by the force field. The hull of the ship began to use energy to repair the hole.
"Oh." [Siren] cried out in pain. Obviously, the torpedoes had caused her a lot of damage. She angrily turned the turret and fired a volley in the direction of the torpedoes.
Boom! The nine shells hit the sea behind Lefay, raising a few meters high water column.
"The Siren immediately launched a counterattack after hearing the explosion of the torpedoes.”" It seems that the torpedoes have hit," said Javelin.”
"Five frag grenades in a fan-shaped pattern. The opponent didn't move, so it's only natural that one frag grenade hit.”Chen Ming was also a little happy at this moment.
"But the commander guessed that the enemy would counterattack and let Lefay leave her previous position.”"The cruiser shells will hurt Lefay," Lefay said.”
"This is very normal." Chen Ming smiled confidently.”
"But why did the commander want Lefay to attack the lone Siren? If they attacked the eight red dots detected by the radar before, the chances of the torpedoes hitting them would definitely be higher.”Javelin said.
"Do you know the operating mechanism of the [Siren] medium-sized fleet?" Chen Ming shook his head.”
"A medium-sized fleet. My commander said that the medium-sized fleet is controlled by a humanoid [Siren] unit.”"Oh, I see," said Javelin."That lone cruiser is the headquarters of the humanoid Siren.”
"That's right." Chen Ming nodded." Even if we sink one or two of the enemy's vanguards, the remaining enemies will immediately counterattack like mad dogs. At that time, we will lose our advantage if we expose our position." On the other hand, as long as we destroy the enemy's headquarters like a ghost, the remaining Sirens will lose themselves and become a wandering fleet that doesn't have much combat ability.”
At this point, Chen Ming clenched his fists and said confidently,"By then, our support fleet will arrive. Although there is only one aircraft carrier and cruiser, it should not be a problem to take them out.”
"Lefay's radar has detected the enemy fleet approaching us."Commander, are we leaving?"”
"Go, of course we're going." "Are you going to leave it here for free?" Chen Ming asked.”
After saying that, Chen Ming brought the javelin over and said,"But you still have to give them a gift when you leave, right? Anyway, didn't we just encounter a reef when we came from there? You should have some torpedoes with javelins. Put a few behind us. The torpedoes are useful, but the torpedoes are a good gift.”
"Alright," said javelin."I'll go to the back deck and give them a surprise.”
Obviously, Chen Ming's tactical thinking had given the javelin a new direction. In this era where the destroyer was not valued, the javelin saw the development direction of the destroyer.
A group of torpedoes was thrown into the sea. The 12 torpedoes floated silently on the surface of the sea, like ghosts looming in the fog. If one did not observe carefully, they would not be discovered.
"Lefay, turn left. Activate the engine power to 50%. Try to reduce the noise.”Before the javelin returned, Chen Ming gave the order to evacuate.
Boom! There was a muffled sound in the distance. The humanoid Siren felt that she had lost contact with the two Destroyers. Those ships did not have their own protection. After being attacked, a large amount of seawater poured in. Now, it was obvious that they could not move. They could only wait to sink slowly.
"Woo ~" The humanoid Siren let out a sorrowful cry. It was a sigh for the death of its own kind, but it was also angry at the cunning of its enemy.
The fleet controlled from afar also received orders and began to accelerate in pursuit of Chen Ming and the others.
The humanoid Siren was furious. Not only was she injured, but she also lost two of her subordinates. Although creating her master was obviously sending her to her death, she could not let herself be so cowardly.
It had been so long, and they had not even caught the enemy's shadow, but they had lost a lot. Moreover, he felt that the enemy was just a destroyer. He was indeed a little uncomfortable being played around by a destroyer.
At this point, the humanoid Siren did not want to wait here anymore. She started her engine and began to join the pursuit team.
"Not good, Commander. That cruiser has already begun to move. When the Siren moved, Lefay's radar detected her change."She came straight at us.”
"Hmm? Did she notice us?" "It seems that we can't beat around the bush with her," said Chen Ming. Javelin, are your torpedoes ready?”
"Yes," nodded the javelin.”
"Lefay, where's your torpedoes?" Chen Ming asked Lefay on the other side.
"Lefay's torpedoes have finished cooling down. They're getting ready to load."”
"Alright, javelin. Fire parallel grenades at three o'clock.”Chen Ming ordered.
The javelin came to the outside of the A squad and fired all of its torpedoes in the direction of the target. The five torpedoes had been thrown into the water by javelins. The torpedoes drew white lines and disappeared into the fog.
"Lefay." Chen Ming shouted again.
"Lefay is here. The torpedoes are ready.”Lefay nodded to confirm.
Chen Ming counted a few seconds in his heart and felt that it was about time, so he ordered again,"Alright, Lefay, quickly release the grenades in a straight line. Don't make any mistakes!”
"Self-restriction removed." After Lefay finished her words, 5 torpedoes were ejected out of the tube. Under Lefay's precise control, the 5 torpedoes were ejected in a straight line, leaving a long white line on the sea.
"The other party already knows that we have torpedoes, so she must be prepared now.”"When he sees the javelin's parallel thunder, he will definitely turn the steering wheel to avoid it," said Chen Ming. Now that we are behind her, the enraged enemy will definitely turn left to catch up to us. Therefore, once she turned left, the armor belt on the side of the hull would be exposed.”
"I've counted. When she turns the steering wheel, Lefay's line torpedoes will reach her. She won't have the chance to turn the steering wheel. Chen Ming said confidently,"Then, boom! No matter how powerful she was, she was just a cruiser. No cruiser could survive the attack of six torpedoes.”
"In other words, she's finished?" Javelin said.
"That's right." " You have to remain calm at all times," Chen Ming said." If you lose your cool, even powerful enemies will have flaws. You will be defeated if you have flaws."”
Just as Chen Ming said, the humanoid Siren was now enraged by him. She only wanted to capture the destroyer.
Although the fog had caused her to lose a lot of vision, when she saw the five torpedoes in front of her, the humanoid Siren was disdainful. She had already suffered this once, and it would not happen again.
Through the [Ship Girl]'s energy sensing, she had already sensed that the other party was right in front of her on the left. At this moment, she turned to the left to avoid the torpedoes and catch up with the enemy. Therefore, according to her calculations, the ship began to turn left.
However, the humanoid Siren would never have thought that there was a " Ship Girl " who had no hull but had combat ability on the destroyer. Therefore, she thought that the enemy only had one chance to attack with torpedoes in a short period of time.
Left full helm, engine power output at 100%. When the humanoid Siren dodged the last torpedoes at full speed, it instinctively relaxed.
But unexpectedly, it was this moment of relaxation that five torpedoes quietly appeared on the right front of the ship without her noticing. She had just steered to the left, so it was too late for her to dodge.
Moreover, she was still in a relaxed state and had no sense of the impending danger.
Lafite's left rear made a series of loud noises. Hearing this, Chen Ming revealed a satisfied smile.
"Lefay, javelins, start loading the cannons. Prepare the turrets, we're going to start harvesting.”
[Note: Here is the difference between torpedoes and mines.] In the naval battles of World War II, the explosives loaded into a torpedoes were generally between 200kg and 300kg, while the explosives loaded into mines were 700kg or more. Therefore, in theory, the power of explosives was greater than that of mines.
However, the torpedoes were active attacks while the mines were passive attacks. In addition, the density of water was much higher than that of air, so the torpedoes under the water had a multiplying effect, so the specific damage of the torpedoes was higher.
There was no clear conclusion on the Internet about which type of damage was high. The specific situation was analyzed in detail. However, no matter which type of damage was high, in theory, it could blow a hole in the ship. Then, the sealed cabin would be flooded, causing the buoyancy to be insufficient, and the ship would sink.
In the novel, the javelin shot out by the mine only blew up and sank two Destroyers. The hull of the Destroyer was about 20mm, so it was not difficult to blow up a hole. Moreover, this was also a magical world, so everyone should not delve into the details. If there are other situations, please leave a message in the comments section. If there are any serious injuries, I will correct them.
