In the early morning of Saturday, the sea surface of the Sulawesi Sea was still shrouded in mist. There is not a trace of wind and waves on the calm sea, and every qiΔ seems so peaceful. But it was in this quiet mist that a huge fleet was approaching the Makassar Strait at an unimaginable speed.
There is a reason why this waterway was chosen. First, our spies reported last night that there would be everyone in the strait today, and there was no wind, and it was a suitable weather for beaching. Second, two of the four main islands in Indonesia that we are responsible for are on either side of it. Thirdly, the task of our main fleet is to patrol the sea for a decisive battle, and of course we must find the central area of Indonesia. Fourth, Sumatra, where our Chinese guild is responsible, has the largest number of enemies, and entering from the Makassar Strait can first establish beachheads on Kalimantan and Sulawesi, where the enemy density is small, so as to attract people to leave Sumatra and facilitate our subsequent attack. The last reason, and the most crucial, is that those damn bastards have parked my Noah in the port of Laute, and we can rush all the way down the Makassar Strait to get our Noah back first. If we are slow, we don't know what the Indonesians will do to our boat. It would be better if it was dragged away, but if it was destroyed, then I would have cried all my tears dry!
Most players in Indonesia are not online early in the morning, and early Saturday morning is a good time to sleep in, and most of them are not online yet. The few rare warships on the sea did not notice us, and our fleet stabbed all the way deep into the interior of the strait. In order to cooperate with the operation, we also mobilized a part of the Misty Fleet to help us in the battle, and we wanted their fog to help us penetrate deep into the enemy's interior and make a surprise attack.
I've arrived in the fleet with the guild leader, the Transnational Teleportation Array of Windmill City, the Fleet's flagship Tyrant, walking in the center of the fleet, and through the high observation room of GuΓ² we can see the enemy's tracks through the fog. Suddenly, the communication of the Mano was received in the command room of the battleship.
"President, this is Dolphin One."
"I'm Purple Sun. What's the situation? β
"The fleets of the main Indonesian guilds are now resting in their respective ports, and there are no large fleets leaving the ports yet. At present, Indonesia's largest Hongbang fleet is in the port of Sammarinda, and on the opposite coast there is a newly completed Sini Mian City, where Indonesia's second and third largest fleets are located. At present, two-thirds of Indonesia's warships are in these two ports. β
I immediately looked at the map. "Understood. Now keep an eye on the movements of the other fleets. Also, tell SΓΉ Dolphin 2 to pay attention to the troop movements in Sumatra and report any situation at any time. β
"Understood."
After hanging up, I reconnected to another communicator. "I'm Purple Sun."
"This is the Rangers, do you have any orders from the President?"
"How's Noah doing?"
"Noah is in the harbor in front of me, and I can see it from here. Indonesians have done a lot of research on it these days. They've figured out that this is an advanced mobile city. But they don't have the money and technology to get it done. Last night we also eavesdropped on a meeting of them, and some wanted to sell it to the Indians for some money, while others said we would definitely intercept it, so it should be dismantled on the spot to not give us a chance to take it back. β
When I heard the report, my face turned white with anger. "If there is anything wrong with Noah, report it immediately. The fleet has entered the middle of the Makassar Strait and is approaching the target. β
"We understand. Good luck. β
"I hope so!"
Our fleet was divided into three off the coast of Samarinda, with a total of 1,800 warships remaining. They will be divided into two fleets, simultaneously dealing with the Indonesian second and third largest fleets in the port of Sini Rain and the Indonesian first fleet in the port of Sammarinda opposite. In order to ensure that we do not find out, we put the ships seconded from the Misty Fleet in both fleets to protect them with the Fog. The naturally formed large passengers going south will gradually increase, and the main fleet will not need artificial fog to protect it. The two more than 300 warships of the main fleet will go all the way to the south, first encircling the island of Laute and reclaiming Ya, and at the same time, the battles of Samarinda and Sini Rain will begin at the same time.
The enemy should concentrate more forces on those two cities, and we will take the opportunity to attack the islands of Sumatra and Java, and the guilds of Papua New Guinea will also launch an invasion campaign to accompany us.
When the time comes, the whole territory of Indonesia will bloom everywhere, and they will not be able to get reinforcements if they want to, and they will be attacked everywhere, and it will be impossible to be soft on either side. If they're smart enough to quickly concentrate on a fortified fortress while the teleportation array is still available, they might be able to inflict some casualties on us, and if they divide up their forces, then we'll be able to break them all.
A small fleet had just departed from Laute Island and began sailing along the strait to be sailed, and their destination was Samarinda. This small fleet consisted of only three ships in total. Although all of them are battleships, they are all wooden-hulled ships and belong to the cannon fodder class. This small fleet passed by our lead ship in the fog, and our fleet in the fog did not detect each other at all, their tonnage was simply too small!
An Indonesian player stood on the bow of the boat and took a deep breath and said to the man next to him: "I like the feeling of being in the fog the most, it's so dreamy, it's like a dream." β
The person next to him immediately objected: "Only you crazy people will like it, I'm not interested." β
The third player walks out of the pod. "Big passenger is the most dangerous climate, we are like a blind man in this strait, if we run into someone else's ship, we will be unlucky!"
"Doesn't this ship have long oars? Put the oars out, and if there's a boat, we'll turn around and avoid it! β
"That's right."
The three old battleships of the Indonesians lowered their oars, and almost a few seconds later the hydrophone operator on the Tyrant suddenly shouted: "Boom! Oh, my God! There are hundreds! β
I was so scared that I almost fell out of my seat. "You're not mistaken, are you?" Even if the Indonesians have torpedoes, it is not easy for them to fire hundreds of torpedoes at the same time.
As soon as I finished speaking, the listener said, "No, no, it's not a torpedo, what kind of sound is this?" Strange! β
I immediately set up the fleet's general channel, asking all the listeners to focus on what it was. Rose looked up at the observation room above and said, "Do you see anything?" β
The above has not yet answered Chuang Wang Xiandao: "The fog is too big, I am afraid that the condensation of the observation mirror will affect the battle for a while." So let them turn it off. There was a pilot ship ahead, and there was something they should be able to see. β
Suddenly, an attendant shouted, "It's an oar!" The sound was the sound of a long oar for a wooden-hulled battleship! β
As soon as he shouted, the other listeners immediately reacted. Our guild would have eliminated the wooden-hulled warships a long time ago, let alone the long oars, but everyone didn't react for a moment when they heard this long-lost voice.
At the same time as our side reacted, the three battleships had already approached our battleship.
The Indonesian player standing at the bow of the boat asked the person next to him, "What is that black shadow?" β
"Dark Shadow?" The man looked at it for a long time and didn't recognize what it was, so he called the others over.
As the distance was getting closer and closer as everyone was talking about the ground, a huge figure suddenly appeared from among the passengers, a huge island-like bow. The Indonesian player was dumbfounded almost instantly, as the middle of the three Indonesian warships was rammed directly on the Tyrant.
A boom pulled everyone back from the shock. The Tyrant crumpled the wooden-hulled battleship into a pile of wood chips as if it had shattered a model. The people on board only heard the impact and did not even feel the vibration. The 237,000-ton super-battleship Tyrant and the unknown wooden-hulled battleship are not of the same order of magnitude at all, and are fundamentally the difference between a big whale and a small goldfish.
The impact happened so suddenly, the Indonesian crew all fell into the water, and the two warships on both sides did not even have time to save people. U-turn and run. They knew they couldn't outrun these ironclads, but it was certain that the big guys wouldn't be able to steer. As long as they can dock, they can start a chat channel and send out messages. The two ships passed through the Tyrant and fled through the small gap between the fleets.
The fast cruiser Glorious saw the general wooden-hulled ship approaching, and immediately increased its speed. The Skylark next to him immediately cooperated with him and approached the wooden-hulled battleship in the middle. Boom no.
The wooden battleship even opened fire on us. With a bang, the cannonball struck the side chord of the Glory, but had no effect other than rubbing off a piece of paint. How could such a mortar that fired a solid iron ball hit the armor of a cruiser, even if it was a fast cruiser.
The Skylark quickly approached the Glory, and the two ships managed to sandwich the wooden-hulled battleship between them, and then they continued to turn the rudder closer, only to hear a sound of wood breaking, and the wood-hulled battleship was crushed by force.
The other wooden-hulled battleship was much luckier than this one, and the battleships Huashan and Taishan, which were caught in his arms, did not hit it. That damn wooden ship actually had a steam engine, and it didn't use that thing in the first place, so our underwater listening devices never noticed them. Now he suddenly activated this secret device, as a result of which he suddenly increased speed and ran out of our battleship. The Huashan and Taishan rumbled into each other without catching the damn rotten wood battleship.
The wooden hulls of the Indonesians left our fleet and rushed to the coast, and one of the destroyers on our side near the fleet suddenly let out a deflating sound and a torpedo entered the water. The wooden battleship didn't get far before it was hit, and with a loud bang, the battleship was reduced to nothing in a huge fireball. This little episode forced us to rush towards Laute Island at a faster pace.
We thought the battleship was finished, but it turned out that someone on board left in the runabout before the torpedo hit them. The fog was so great that we didn't see the boat leave.
The search party used to see only a pile of wreckage, thinking that they had wiped out all the enemy, but in fact three people had escaped.
As soon as the three men came ashore, they informed the president of their guild in a private chat, and their words were accepted immediately because of the video testimony. The Indonesians moved quickly, and Noah was pulled out of the harbor and began to transfer. The people in the various cities began to get nervous, and all the ports were in chaos, and everyone ran to resupply the battleships and prepare for the battle.
Thanks to the fact that I sent a number of spies first, I received a report as soon as the Indonesians made a move. "President. The Indonesians seem to know about our actions. Cities are at war, and our movements are restricted, and the Rangers have just spotted it, but they have already lured the enemy away. We're spying on Noah right now, and it looks like the Indonesians are going to drag him away. β
"Is there anything you can do to stop them?"
"If we let Dolphin III and VI sink a couple of tugboats with self-defense torpedoes should slow them down, and we should be able to hold them back for a while if we blow up the harbor trestle."
"That's enough, let's do it right away. Try to stick to it. We have ten minutes left before we are in the range of the main guns. β
"I guess it's okay!"
"Not as it should be. It's about being sure. β
"Yes, definitely."
I turned the communication to the two fleets off the coast of Samarinda. "King Chuang?"
"I'm here."
"We're exposed, start the birthday party plan early."
"Understood."
In the port of Sammarindadi, a large number of people are running to the battleship. Some fast-moving warships have already begun to anchor. But alas, they are still a step too slow. White scandium trails in the water quickly rushed into the harbor. Then there was an earth-shattering explosion, and Indonesia's only giant battleship of more than 150,000 tons exploded into a huge fireball.
Immediately afterwards, the big guy was attacked by more than a dozen torpedoes in a row. The battleship immediately began to tilt, but it still held on. With a displacement of 180,000 tons and 189 tons, the Jakarta Super Battleship is the only Indonesian warship with a displacement of more than 150,000 tons, but unfortunately it has not sunk a single battleship so far. However, it is not that it has not sunk other ships, and there are not a few players in our country who have sunk small fishing boats by him, but they have not encountered Chinese ground warships.
The Jakarta began to flooded in many mines, but the damage management team was still doing well, and the battleship never sank. It began to slowly adjust its angle and prepare to fire, but will we give it that chance? A giant dragon swooped down from the sky carrying eight bombshells, and he threw all eight bombs down in one go. Because it is a dive bomb, it is very accurate, and all eight of them are hit. Eight bombs, each weighing 3,000 pounds, easily swept off half of the deck of the Jakarta. Immediately behind the dragon was a long gun that began to dive and drop bombs, these small bombs really didn't make much sense against the battleships, but they were targeting the small houses in those harbors. These stone buildings can't stop bombs, and the ammunition, fuel, food, and medicine inside are all important supplies. Boom, boom, boom, a row of fireballs rose from the harbor, and those precious supplies were gone.
The American player stood on the boat and whistled: "Yo throat! Enjoyable. Yes! It's much more enjoyable than watching it in the cinema! As soon as they finished speaking, a spear whizzed over their heads, causing them to shrink their necks. These American gamers have watched a lot of movies, but the impact of something flying overhead can't be simulated in a movie theater. They were startled just now, but as soon as the spear passed, they immediately began to jump and shout cheers again, which was too energetic!
King Chuang commanded the Storm Super Battlemen to use their cannons to knock out the harbor batteries one by one, while the other warships concentrated on bombarding the warships in the harbor. Most of the players in Indonesia have not yet boarded the ship, and many of the battleships are only a dozen people and cannot be driven out at all. A group of players ran out of the harbor and rushed towards the battleship in a vain attempt to get it out, but the accurate low-altitude bombardment of the spears quickly destroyed the wooden trestle and sent them into the sky along with the players running on it.
The trestle is destroyed, and the players behind them desperately jump into the water and swim towards the battleship, but more torpedoes enter the harbor, and their targets sink one by one. The harbor was full of whirlpools caused by the sinking of battleships, and many people were pulled into the whirlpool and never came up again.
After King Chuang commanded the beautiful artillery to knock out all the batteries, the fleet began to advance into the port, as the distance was shortened, the accuracy of the shells was significantly improved, and the remaining individual warships were also sent to the bottom of the sea one by one.
The battleship Jakarta was heavily damaged but never sunk, and King Chuang ordered the follow-up troops to stop attacking the ship. The torpedoes destroyed its operational apparatus at first, and the bombardment dumbed out its artillery, and now the target is not a threat in any way, and it can be repaired and sold to nearby small countries. Our guild can't look down on this kind of tattered warship, and small countries that don't have the manufacturing capacity can ask for it. After all, the Jakarta is also a giant ship, and if it is not raided, it should still be very combative.
The first detachment led by King Chuang swept the port like a leaf in the autumn wind, and the rest of the work was a landing operation. With the cooperation of a large number of American and German players, the city was occupied, and then the German flag was hung, and the city was re-applied after the city definition was removed, and the city officially became German territory. After the port was completed, the giant ships in the fleet quickly left the port, and on the other side of the strait, the second detachment was attacking the Sini side, but according to the spy report, this Sini rain city had just been built and had not yet been equipped with a battery, so King Chuang left the capital ships to the first detachment fleet, and the second detachment fleet was only left with small and medium-sized warships. Now that this side is over, of course the large battleships will have to go over to help.
The American players also followed the large warship to the Sini side on the other side, and it was really full of gunsmoke. The three Marinda's warships were not prepared, so they were put down without resistance at all, but the warships on the side of Sini were just about to go out to do something, so they had already started to reload. After receiving the news of the invasion of the foreign fleet, the fleet immediately armed itself and prepared to resist the attack. The second detachment arrived in a relatively decent manner, blocking more than half of the opposing team's warships in the harbor, but a small half still escaped, and a real naval battle broke out.
When King Chuang arrived, the fleet was in full swing, with cannonballs flying across the sea, and the occasional huge fireball rising from a battleship that exploded at an ammunition depot. The deafening explosions and the terrifying shock and the strong smell of sulfur at sea made the American players very excited, and the American players were not like us. We fought wars with Japan very frequently, but the U.S. fleet could basically only bully the small surrounding countries, and there was nothing to fight at all, so this large-scale naval battle was still very exciting for them.
"Be careful!" King Chuang catches an American girl who suddenly falls off the turret.
"How did you get to the battery? Don't you want to die? We're still fighting! β
"It's rare to have such a fierce battle, it's a pity not to watch it. My name is Luna, and I'm the vice president of the Patelari Guild. What do you call a handsome guy? β
"My name is King Chuang, the Commander-in-Chief of the Frost Rose Alliance."
"It's the Fleet Commander! Xinghui. Thank you just now. β
King Chuang had no intention of chatting with Cong, and said politely: "It's a matter of raising your hands." I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. With that, he climbed into the turret and began to explain the matter.
Luna muttered outside, "It's weird, why is this guy so cold." Is my charm out of order? Or are all Chinese men like this? No, you can't let him be so arrogant. If you dare not pay attention to me, I will have to pay your attention. β
King Chuang suddenly sneezed unprepared: "It's strange, who is talking bad about me!" β
"Captain, the Indonesian fleet is already in range." A report from the observation room interrupted King Chuang's train of thought.
"Open fire, fire and fire, kill them one by one from big to small, and don't leave a single one."
