The temperature on the west coast of Africa is not low at all, even if it is almost December, in order to ensure that the other party is discovered early enough, Schell raised the detection balloon early. Even if the detector can only be in the air about 100 meters, it can expand the field of vision several times. In addition, using Northwest technology, the lens is a telescopic equipment produced by Germany, which can immediately discover ships 45 nautical miles away.

In Scher's fleet, in addition to the hot air balloons, there are also small airships. However, compared with the air balloon, the airship is too large and easy to be discovered by the other party. If the other party is 45 nautical miles away, he will find the air balloon and flee, no matter how powerful the battleship is, he will not be able to catch them.

The fleet continued to head north for one hour, two hours, and three hours. It seemed that it was good luck. I didn't meet the other party's search fleet. Just when Scher thought that God was on his side today, he was not always with him. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he went deep into the dangerous area 175 nautical miles and was about to wear it out. When he was about to run out, he found that it was in the northwest and searched for the fleet.

The air balloon quickly judged the size of the fleet. It seemed that this was not an ordinary search team. As far as they saw, there were 6 warships in total, and there were at least ships of different sizes. This might be two fleets together.

It's very unlucky. One search team and two search teams are completely different concepts. It's close to 30 ships. Even if the Scher fleet is extremely powerful, it's not easy to deal with it. It's only 45 nautical miles. For both parties traveling at high speed, there's not much time to consider, and they will meet at most in more than an hour.

"It's up!" Sher made a decision after a few seconds, and the brave ones won when they meet on a narrow road. So what if they fail? The vast sea boundary, from the Far East, is to return, and you will always encounter it, sooner or later.

The alarm sounded on the nine battleships and the air balloon was closed. If the other party did not have enough powerful telescope equipment, it would not have been looking at this area all the time. Under the current sea conditions, the distance they found would be 10 nautical miles or even 8 nautical miles, which was enough for high-speed battleships.

During this period, Scher also specifically asked the command system to provide assistance, because it is not a duel on the battle lines, the nine battleships do not need to be densely together. Only separation is the best choice. At that time, the nine ships will form a distance between 3-5 nautical miles, appearing to approach the opponent in a half-encirclement form. Further compress the opponent's space. In this case, the power of the volley cannot be exerted. Only the command system is the most suitable.

Wu Jing, a soldier who has been in the army for two years, is responsible for this time on duty. He adjusted his breathing slightly and came to Europe, and the command system was going to the battlefield for the first time. Although the command system had performed well enough during the exercise, it was in the exercise, and this time it was the real one.

One side deliberately, the other side did not notice. The distance between 45 nautical miles was gradually approaching with both sides' full strength, especially in the middle of an hour, it rained for about 15 minutes. This rain came at the right time. The drizzle blocked the sight of both sides, making the battleship closer and within 8 nautical miles.

Mark was in a bad mood. As the captain of the Billy destroyer and the captain of the 19th search team, he was bored here. He had been searching for half a month and was exhausted enough. Searching for searching, if there is a goal, it is called search, without a goal, it is just a repetitive work. There are hundreds of nautical miles around, and back and forth, and it has been dozens of rounds. For an illusory possibility, will Scher's East Asian fleet come back? The fleet of the Allied Power is blocked in the Baltic Sea. The nine main battleships of the Sher fleet cannot fly over unless they have wings. They are broken into two pieces and can only be concentrated by the Allied Powers and annihilated by the superiority. If they are a little smarter, they will not come back.

Fortunately, as long as his fleet completed this round of patrol, he could go to the port to rest for 10 days. After being tired for so long, he finally had a rest. Although he was at least 200 nautical miles away from the port, his heart almost flew over.

While thinking about it, the alarm sounded suddenly, and was caught off guard. Mark was startled by the alarm. Then he scolded him loudly and asked his subordinates what had happened.

Because of a rain, the Sher fleet was approaching about 7 nautical miles before it was discovered by the search fleet. The lookout hand in charge of looking at the 9 huge battleships was startled by the sudden appearance of warships. These fleets knew at a glance that they were the battleships. At this moment, almost all the battleships of the Allied Powers were in the Baltic Sea, scattered in the Mediterranean. It was impossible to appear here. Although it was relatively hasty and could not see the other party's form, it was an enemy, not a friend. In a panic, he had no time to report and directly sounded the siren.

The shrill sirens scared the entire fleet, and the civilian ships began to move closer to the destroyers. No matter what happened, the warships were always the last umbrella.

After more than a minute, Mark asked everything, and he was shocked. The 9 ships, the same number of main ships of Sher's fleet, thought it would be impossible to appear here, but they appeared here openly and rushed towards him. With his toes, they could figure out what Sher wanted to do. He was also an experienced officer. He immediately issued an order, ordering all ships to separate into different directions and leave immediately, and escape as much as they can.

Mark knew very well that their fleet was no match for the other party at all. Even the entire search fleet that was blocked on the west coast of Africa was not an opponent of the Scher fleet. The main battleships were only the main battleships that could deal with, and even tens of thousands of tons of former dreadnoughts, let alone him. Their role was to discover the other party, report to the Navy, so that the Navy could calmly drop the fleet and annihilate these nine warships, laying the foundation for the next maritime decisive battle with Germany.

Mark did not delay it for much time, but it was less than 5 minutes from the time he received the signal to the time he issued the order. However, for the warships traveling at high speed, in 5 minutes, a battleship like Fantasy class had already traveled more than 2 nautical miles. In addition, the search fleet that had not had time to turn around and still march forward, the distance between the two sides had been narrowed to about 4 nautical miles.

4 nautical miles, a little over 7 kilometers. This distance is a very suitable attack range for most naval guns. Originally, the Sher fleet was about to set it closer. When they saw the opponent's ships began to disperse and were about to escape, they immediately issued an attack order.

After the order was issued, Wu Jing immediately began to integrate the shooting elements based on the data in all observation posts. The excellent performance of the computer was completed in just a few seconds under the already prepared program, and then sent the position to different artillery categories. Although this command system has limited computing power, it is already quite good to control up to 4 targets in addition to volleys. The 9 ships were divided into 4 parts and attacked 4 destroyers together. Each destroyer was aimed at at least 20 guns. After balancing the bullet points, the hit rate was already quite high.

Sure enough, after one round, two of the four targets were directly hit. The 15-inch gun, even if they used high-explosive bombs, not armor-piercing bombs, were fatal for the destroyer that did not have enough protection and was even relatively old. One shot hit the front and directly broke a 1,500-ton destroyer. The A-Squad in front broke half of the turret in front, covering the turret in front. After nearly 5 minutes of the raging fire, the destroyer sank. The other shot hit the Caspian Sea directly hit the rear, not only piercing the gunpowder chamber, but also smashed a destroyer into two pieces.

A wave of attack hit two shots, or a fast and small destroyer, the effectiveness of the aiming system can be seen. Mark's eyes were so accurate, and they were all warships. He seemed to understand the other party's intention. The speed of the warship was fast. If it fled in all directions, it was the most likely to escape. The others didn't matter. The merchant ship was up to 15 knots, and the fishing boat was only below 10 knots. Even if it escaped, it would catch up. The opponent's warship really didn't know what power system it used, and it actually had a speed of at least 25 knots!

Mark thought of escaping and also used his full power as much as possible. Unfortunately, ideals are beautiful, and reality is cruel. The nine main battleships only took 4 rounds of shooting, and in less than 1 and a half minutes, they completed the attack on the six giant ships. The speed was so fast that they could not even surrender. As long as they were hit by a 15-inch cannon, they basically had the option of silence.

When the six warships were sent to the bottom of the sea one by one, the Sher fleet continued to attack other ships, whether they were cargo ships or merchant ships. Of course, it would not be so wasteful. Using the main gun, the absolute advantage in speed, plus they had just completed the steering, wasted time, and chased in one-on-one situation. After 15 minutes, there was only wreckage left on the huge sea surface. A search formation of 29 ships was completely wiped out by Sher's fleet, and they could not even send any information.

After all this, the Sher fleet did not stay in place and risked to rush across the defense line. Even if it wiped out the opponent, it would not take much time. It might take as much as 7 days or as little as 3 days. The premise is that it could break through this defense line, and he must seize the time.

The Scher fleet immediately turned north and left at the highest speed, leaving behind a wreckage and the lives of thousands of British people. Although some people were not killed at that time, they were directly hit by ships and cannons, and it was impossible for them to survive. The remaining lucky ones rely on a wooden board to barely float on the sea. In the next few days of wind and waves, a large area died, and no more than 5 people survived. (To be continued.)
