Boom!
Another cannonball smashed down, and a large ball of flames instantly surged up. The shock wave swept out in all directions like a storm. The glass of the cabin of Ship 681 shattered, and countless shards flew down, scattering dust.
It was just a little more and the 681 airship was hit.
"Report, entering the firing range of the cannons. The enemy ship is in the southwest direction, 3.5 nautical miles away, moving south at a speed of about 10 knots.”The radar operator's voice suddenly sounded.
It was time to counterattack.
Yang Dingtian's clenched fist loosened." Send my order. The twin 57mm cannons are 30 degrees above the ground and 15 degrees south. Every two shots, they are three degrees south.”
"Yes."
"Continue advancing."
"Yes."
"Send order for 682 ships to go north and pin down another enemy ship. Be careful to find blind spots to hide.”
"Yes."
"Order 385 and 387 ships to fire as soon as they enter range.”
"Yes."
Yang Dingtian only stopped after giving four orders. He held the Type 62 binoculars in his hand and looked ahead.
They were only slightly more than three nautical miles apart.
There was no cover on the sea, and the warships of the Annan Empire were large. They could already be vaguely seen, especially when they fired. The flames spewing from the barrels were very eye-catching.
Bang! Bang!
At this moment, the twin 57mm cannons on the ship fired according to Yang Dingtian's orders. Ammunitions whistled out in an instant.
This was the sound of the horn for a counterattack.
The shooting began.
The slightest carelessness would result in his body being shattered into pieces.
"Left full helm."
"Yes."
The helmsman immediately turned the steering wheel, and the 681 that was still advancing at high speed immediately turned, leaving only the white waves rolling behind.
Boom!
In just a few seconds, a cannonball smashed down and exploded.
"Turn back to the right direction and pass through."
"Yes."
The situation was extremely critical, but Yang Dingtian's expression did not change at all. He was able to deal with the current situation calmly with the command of a small-scale warship at the maximum level.
The sounds of cannons firing, explosions, seawater splashing, and the footsteps of the soldiers running intertwined together, making it seem very mocking and piercing to everyone's nerves.
Swoosh.
Turning around, Yang Dingtian glanced at the side. Boat 682 had also rushed forward.
The distance between them was still shrinking.
The danger also multiplied.
Because they had already entered the firing range of the small-caliber cannons.
Da da!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The 40mm and 20mm cannons on the four warships of the Annan Empire were all fired at this moment. The cannonballs rained down like water, instantly setting off a deadly metal storm that swept over.
The firepower was too strong.
The advantage of the automatic reloading was fully displayed.
Boom!
In just a few minutes, a loud bang suddenly came from the high-speed advancing Boat 682. A large area of flames surged wildly, and the wreckage of the ship flew in all directions and fell into the sea.
It was the bridge.
The bridge command room of the 682nd spaceship was hit by the Annan Empire's No. 16 spaceship.
Smoke was still rising, and the communication command equipment had completely turned into a pile of scrap metal. The captain and the others who were commanding were instantly covered by debris.
"Captain."
" Military doctor! Call the military doctor!"
A few warriors rushed over and dug up the remains.
The military doctor squatted down and examined them one by one. His eyes were already red." It's gone. The captain is gone. They're all gone."”
The captain and the others who were calmly giving orders a second ago had all sacrificed their lives for the country.
"Continue firing."
" Avenge the captain and the others."
"Revenge."
The remaining warriors gritted their teeth and returned to their posts. The battle was not over yet, and they did not have time to grieve.
。。。
On the other side, Yang Dingtian had also received the news that the command room of 682 had been hit. He clenched his teeth.
Although he knew that this would be a fierce battle, he did not expect the sacrifice to come so quickly.
However, they were soldiers. The enemy had already charged over. Even if they fought to the last person, they could not take a step back.
"Inform 682 ships to use the command token to fire while retreating. 385 and 387 ships will speed up and come up.”Yang Dingtian ordered again.
"Yes."
"Report, 385 has been hit, lost one sub-cannon, five casualties.”the messenger reported.
Damn it.
The opponent's firepower was too strong.
Lin Sanbao and the others were helpless. This was the difference between warships.
"Let them change positions faster.”Yang Dingtian said.
"Yes."
"Lin Sanbao, keep an eye on this side. I'll go check on the main cannon squad. The firing speed is too slow.”
"Yes."
After that, Yang Dingtian quickly left the command room.
ten seconds later
He bent down and walked to the side of the twin 57mm cannon." Wang Zhu, you son of a b * tch. The firing speed is too slow. You need more."。。”
He didn't even come out.
His eyes were fixed on Wang Zhu's hands, which were busy reloading the shells. Because of the continuous loading of the shells, they had long been worn out, and blood was constantly dripping down.
"Captain, I really did my best.”After the cannon was loaded, Wang Zhu turned his head back, his eyes red.
Crack.
Yang Dingtian clenched his fists tightly. His knuckles made a cracking sound because he had used too much force. He was even more anxious. The array is sour.
They all wanted to fire faster.
However, the equipment was not as good as humans. This was a manual operation. How could it compare to the automatic loading?
"I was wrong about you. You've already done very well.”Yang Dingtian spoke, then turned to look at the gunner beside him." Those bastards are still retreating. They want to increase the distance between us. Raise the elevation."”
"Yes."
He quickly adjusted.
Then, there was a loud bang, and the deafening sound of cannon fire soared into the sky.
The speed of the cannonball was extremely fast. In just a few seconds, the retreating Annan Empire's flagship, No. 5, was engulfed in flames. The 127mm cannon that was firing was instantly enveloped.
The cannoneer beside him didn't even have time to scream before he was sent flying by the huge explosion. When he landed on the ground, he was already a mutilated corpse.
The powerful 127mm caliber cannon was completely destroyed. Its broken parts were scattered everywhere.
"We hit it, Captain. We hit the main cannon of those bastards.”
" Their main cannon misfired."
The spotter shouted excitedly.
"Alright, let's do this. Kill them.”Yang Dingtian nodded and looked at the reloading hand." Get the military doctor here."”
Wang Zhu panicked." Captain, I'm fine. I can still fight."”
As he spoke, he raised his bloody hands and waved them a few times.
"Let someone else take over. Bandage first. This is an order.”
"Yes."
After that.
Yang Dingtian quickly returned to the command room and destroyed a 127mm cannon. The threat was greatly reduced.
The distance between them had already shortened.
Next, it was their turn to counterattack.
