Chapter 1576 Killing God
The roar of naval guns has never been so pleasant!

From the sailors at the bottom to the captain's cabin on the bridge, everyone is immersed in the rhythm of the roar of naval guns.

After so many years, Gafla's warship can finally roar in the sea again!

A wave of pride from the bone marrow began to spread outward, and people became more focused because of it.

Pride is a powerful force, inner strength, it can help people build strong self-confidence, and this is also the secret of Gefla's navy for many years!
When the inner strength is strong enough, miracles can be created!
Countless columns of smoke rose from the coast in the distance more than ten seconds later, and the area that was bombarded seemed to shake the ground!

This is Gefra's ultimate force deterrence against countries with coastlines!

Building a port takes a long time, but destroying it takes only one refill!

The breech block was pulled open, a huge shell was ejected, and a new round of shells was loaded. After re-calibrating the coordinates, the flag bearer vigorously waved the flag in his hand.

The hull swayed slightly, disrupting the rhythm of the waves, and the air waves after the roar made the sailors almost unsteady!
The coastal ports were shelled again!
Just for these two bombardments, it will take at least half a year to a year to repair this place.

The planes in the sky were still trying to break through the blockade of firepower, and a group of planes appeared in the distance again.

These planes seemed to be different from the planes that were trying to break through, and the watchman quickly notified the main ship.

The commander observed the planes through the telescope with the highest multiple, and he also showed a puzzled expression.

At present, the mainstream aircraft in the world adopt the method of hanging ammunition inside. Whether it is a bomb or something else, if it is placed outside the fuselage, it is not impossible, but it will obviously slow down the flight speed.

And when performing some flight maneuvers, it causes the instability of the fuselage.

Putting it in the cabin can reduce the occurrence of various accidents.

But these planes are different, and that huge thing hanging under the fuselage looks... a little strange.

It's not like an ordinary aerial bomb.

Taking advantage of the goodwill relationship with the Federation, Gafla's Minister of the Air Force visited the most advanced "flight research institute" in the federal flight industry. Some of the weapons on display included unused bombs.

Like a huge bomb code-named Beast Tamer!

But no matter how these bombs change, their appearance has not changed much, and experts from the Imperial Royal Academy have also admitted this.

The stable shape is conducive to the precise landing of the bomb around the target that people need when it falls. The best way is to make the head slightly heavier.

But the bombs hanging from the planes in front of me seem to be... a bit different. Its shape is too well-proportioned, at least that's what it looks like through the telescope!

"They lowered the altitude!"

Some officers exclaimed in a low voice. Those planes were actually still a long way from the fleet, but they lowered their altitude early on, and they looked like they were not much higher than the ships.

This is very surprising!

You know, at such a height, the lethality of the anti-aircraft guns will be able to tear the fuselages of these aircraft in an instant. Why do they do this?
The commander didn't quite understand, but he knew that, no matter what, these planes should not be allowed to get too close to the fleet.

Then he picked up the communicator and asked for some firepower to prevent these planes from getting too close to the battleship!

The speed of the battle is far faster and more shocking than words.

A large number of planes flew over almost close to the surface of the sea. Seeing that they had entered the range, the anti-aircraft guns began to swallow fire, and machine shells shot out one after another, immediately disrupting the formation of the low-flying planes.

It does stop some planes from rushing over, but it is impossible to stop all planes from rushing over.

If anti-aircraft guns are so effective, aircraft will not form a separate military service in each country.

When a dozen or so planes broke through the fire blockade and approached the fleet, they suddenly made a pull-up movement!

As if rushing over at a huge risk, just to pull up at a closer distance? !
No, not right!

The bombs hanging on the belly of these planes disappeared, and the watchmen, observers, and even the commander on the main ship were stunned for a moment.

What are they doing?
Why rush over and drop the bomb in the sea?

Because they can't bear the huge pressure?

Just as people were thinking about something, the watchman at the highest place let out a hysterical cry——

"Torpedoes, those planes dropped torpedoes!"

At the moment when the commander just reacted, an air defense ship on the flank of the fleet suddenly "jumped".

Obviously, this kind of military ship is not a living thing, and it has no legs, so it is impossible to really jump up by itself.

And here is the sea, even if it has two legs, it can't jump up.

What makes it feel like a jump, comes from a torpedo!
Vigorously oscillating ripples appeared on the sea surface around the hull, and after the hull was "pressed" downward, it began to tilt!

Those planes dropped torpedoes!

And these air-dropped torpedoes are the killer weapon of the Penteio Empire against Gefra, including the Federation Fleet!

They can't catch up with Gafla and the Federation in the navy itself, even if they build a sea fortress, they can't catch up with these two countries.

Then the only thing that can narrow the gap between the two sides is to drop torpedoes by air!
Emperor Penteo and everyone should be grateful to Lynch and the Flight Research Institute. The birth and rapid development of military aircraft allowed Emperor Penteo to see a way to restrain Gefra Armada.

Not only is it an effective solution, it's cheap too!
Compared with the long construction period and cost of manufacturing an entire fleet, the cost of aircraft is obviously much cheaper, and it can even be regarded as a consumable.

Peng Jieao's aircraft development direction is mainly focused on the strategic intention of ground-to-sea, air-to-air is not so important!
Because at the current stage, the biggest threat to them is Gefra and the Federation's navy. Only after solving these problems first can they be qualified to talk about deeper tactics and strategies.

Gathering the best experts and scientists of the entire Penteo Empire, the Sword of Killing God was successfully developed.

It has a total length of 550 meters, weighs 31 pounds, and has a maximum speed of [-] knots after entering the water. It is called "the long sword that can kill gods"!
In order to make this obviously overweight torpedo go into use smoothly, the Peng Jieao people also specially developed a short-distance heavy-duty torpedo aircraft specially used to launch it.

Although only one can be carried at a time, it is enough for the Penteo Empire!

They have many people and many planes, and there is actually no big difference between taking off one plane and a hundred planes at a time!

And the result also proved the value of this airdrop torpedo, all the investment in it is worth it!
The fleet reacted quickly and some of the warships began to turn around, but the speed of the torpedoes was too high and they were dropped fairly close together.

Then two more warships were unfortunately hit and stopped slowly.

At any time, the loss of power of the battleship means that it will become the target of the next concentrated fire, and the commander-in-chief of the First Fleet also has an extremely ugly face.

As soon as they entered the strait, they encountered such a huge loss, which they had never imagined!

Even if they are mentally prepared!

"Move the air defense ships to the flanks and periphery, and concentrate on intercepting these aircraft that can drop torpedoes!"

The officer issued the order without hesitation. This would undoubtedly put the air defense ship at greater risk, but the result of being hit by the air defense ship was better than the result of being hit by the capital ship.

The commander sighed. In fact, before this, a problem was being discussed within the Navy.

Whether warships need to be equipped with air defense equipment, after all, many people think that the next step is the world of the air force.

Once the aircraft is used in naval battles, this kind of arm that has no obvious natural enemies will pose a great threat to the fleet.

However, installing anti-aircraft artillery on all warships will obviously occupy the positions that are not ample, and it will also occupy storage space and increase some burdens.

This is also the reason why the air defense ship was born. After research, they intend to use this special ship to solve the problem of insufficient air defense capabilities.

Equipped with more air defense ships, they are fully capable of assisting the fleet to solve the problem of air strikes——

Remarkably, the Gefla people did exactly that.

The dense anti-aircraft guns make it difficult for those long-range bombers to get too close to the fleet. In fact, the function of the anti-aircraft guns is not entirely to destroy these bombers, but to expel them!
From the first stage, it does its job well.

But the question is, what if the bombs dropped by those planes will run away by themselves?
They didn't think about this problem before, but now they have.

Directly drop torpedoes from the air to deal a devastating blow to the fleet, while avoiding the problem of Penteo's weakness in the navy.

Their warships accomplished their strategic goals without even appearing anywhere in sight.

The commander was a little sad.

Is the era of the fleet coming to an end?

In fact, he still faces a choice now, whether to continue fighting or withdraw.

If you continue to fight, it means that you may suffer greater losses. At the same time, because the expected strategic plan has not been achieved this time, the island's political intentions have not been completed, causing some unpredictable disturbances.

But if you continue to attack, there will inevitably be more losses!
Just when he was in a dilemma, someone reminded him.

"We can ask the federal people for help, this is the Eastern Ocean!"

After being reminded by the officer, the commander suddenly came to his senses!
He pointed at the officer and exhaled heavily, "Help me contact the Federation's nearby garrison..."

Not long after, the Ministry of National Defense received news that the Gefra Fleet, which was performing combat missions in the Oxhorn Strait, requested the assistance of the Air Force...
