The end of the military era

"Wolo, have you ever used an anti-aircraft machine gun before?" asked Soft, the machine gunner.

Volo had just been brought to this anti-aircraft machine gun position by an officer, and after just introducing each other to the machine gunner Soft, the air defense alarm of the all-main gun battleship of the Gift rang.

Volo said nervously: "I am a trainee rangefinder on the No. 3 main gun turret, and I have never been exposed to anti-aircraft machine guns before."

The machine gunner Soft couldn't help scolding, "Even if the manpower is tight, we can't add another recruit!"

Soft's original two sub-machine gunners were all killed by the Hantang Empire carrier-based aircraft during low-altitude strafing.

Volo hesitated and said: "Sergeant Soft, I heard that because of the heavy loss of personnel in the air defense department, even some boiler workers were temporarily transferred to the air defense position."

Machine gunner Soft's rank is sergeant, while Volo's rank is only 3rd class, which is equivalent to a recruit.

Machine gunner Soft said helplessly: "I can only briefly teach you how to control the machine gun.

I hope I can survive, otherwise our anti-aircraft machine gun position will be useless.

Let me teach you how to change the magazine of this anti-aircraft machine gun first! "

During the ninth wave of air strikes by the Imperial Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the all-main-gun battleship Giving was lucky enough not to get a single aerial bomb or torpedo.

However, the faces of the machine gunners Soft and Volo were not very good, because during the air strike, the all-main-gun battleship of the Gift was hit by two large-caliber shells in a row, and a fire broke out.

Don't forget that there are not only carrier-based aircraft of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire, but also 12 main fleets of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire not far away.

Now the thick smoke rising from the full main gun battleship of the Gift has reached hundreds of meters.

"Sergeant Soft, the Gift won't sink, will it?" Wolo asked.

As soon as Volo's words fell, another Black Bear Empire fire-breathing-class full-main-gun battleship not far away suddenly exploded violently, and then the fire-breathing-class full-main-gun battleship was blown into two pieces. Cut, quickly sink to the sea.

Gunner Soft swallowed his dry throat, "Wolo, do you have a girlfriend?"

Hearing Soft's irrelevant answer, Volo was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, "I have a girlfriend. When the empire wins this war, I will propose to my girlfriend."

Soft smiled bitterly, "I'm already engaged to my girlfriend. If it wasn't for this damn war, my girlfriend and I would have had our wedding a long time ago."

Then Soft said with a grim face: "I don't want to die here!

Volo, come with me!Let's get out of here! "

"Huh? Leave?

Sergeant Soft, but"

"There is nothing but, based on my experience, the Gift cannot be kept, we must leave here immediately and prepare to abandon the ship.

If we continue to stay here, we may not even have the chance to jump into the sea to escape. "

"But we have not received an order to abandon the ship."

"Wolo, if you want to stay, I have no problem."

"Sergeant Nana Soft, I, I, I would like to leave with you."

"Here! Put on the life jacket first!"

After leaving the anti-aircraft machine gun position, Soft and Volo ran all the way to the deck railing of the warship.

Then, before the two of them reached the place, the full main gun battleship of the Gift was hit by another large-caliber shell, and Soft and Volo were even knocked down on the deck.

Immediately afterwards, the hull of the all-main-gun battleship Giving began to tilt, and Soft and Volo almost rolled and crawled to the deck railing.

"Wolo, jump down! Swim as far as you can!"

After Softte finished speaking, he climbed over the deck railing and jumped directly into the sea.

Wolo hesitated for only two seconds before jumping off.

Soft and Volo, who jumped into the sea, swam desperately to the distance, and in the process, the ammunition compartment of the all-main-gun battleship Giving was detonated by fire.

In a series of explosions, the battleship Gift with all main guns was blown into two pieces from the middle position, and quickly sank to the sea.

Some of the bear officers and soldiers who jumped into the sea to escape were all brought into the sea by the vortex generated when the full main gun battleship of the gift was sinking. In the end, among the more than 1500 bear officers and soldiers of the full main gun battleship of the gift, only Soft And Volo survived.

Wearing life jackets, Soft and Volo, who were floating in the sea, could not help but look sad when they saw that there were no other living comrades on the sea after the full main gun battleship of the Gift disappeared.

"Wolo, remember, we jumped into the sea to escape after receiving the order to abandon ship!"

"Sergeant Soft, don't worry, I understand what to say."

"Oh, this time, our Royal Navy of the Black Bear Empire, and even the entire combined fleet of nine nations' navies, lost miserably!"

"I don't care who wins or loses anymore, I just hope to go home as soon as possible."

On the bridge of the battleship Hua Rong, the flagship of the Eighth Fleet of the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Dynasties, Wang Kedong, the captain of the Hua Rong, said helplessly to Liu Ergou, the commander of the Eighth Fleet: "Commander, we must Abandoned ship.

The Hua Rong was tilted too badly and could not be rescued. "

The Huarong belongs to the Iowa-class battleship of the United States, with a full-load displacement of 55710 tons. It is the largest warship in the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire, and it is also one of the most powerful battleships. The Eighth Fleet is equipped with a total of 48 US Iowa-class battleships with full main guns.

Originally, Liu Ergou, the commander of the Eighth Fleet, was very satisfied with the performance of the Eighth Fleet in this decisive battle at sea.

As of now, the Eighth Fleet has only 1 American Iowa-class battleship with full main guns, 2 French Richelieu-class battleships with full main guns, and 2 German Bismarck-class battleships with full main guns. Because of serious injuries, they temporarily withdrew Outside of the battle, none of the capital ships of the 12 teams of the Eighth Fleet sank.

But it never occurred to me that although the carrier-based aircraft of the joint fleet of the nine navies were almost lost, more than 1000 bombers of the coalition suddenly flew from the direction of Zatvina Port.

The battleship Huarong with all main guns was even more unlucky to eat nine aerial bombs in a row, and even caused several boilers to explode. It will soon become the first battleship of the Eighth Fleet to be sunk in this decisive battle at sea. .

"Order everyone to abandon the ship! Let's go to the China Resources!" Liu Ergou ordered a little depressed.

Chapter 272 Night Death Squad

With the end of the 16th wave of air raids by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empires, the sky gradually darkened.

Although relying on the support of the five air forces of the Golden Lion, Black Bear, Silver Wolf, Flying Leopard, and Bull, the joint fleet of the nine navies has not completely lost its air supremacy.

However, the 8 waves of air strikes behind the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire, that is, after the capital ships of the two sides launched a head-on bombardment, the 8 waves of attack aircraft dispatched by the Royal Navy of the Han and Tang Empire still caused very large losses to the combined fleet of the nine navies.

Coupled with the losses in the confrontation between the warships of the two sides, the joint fleet of the nine navies could no longer support it at this time.

On the bridge of the all-main gun battleship HMS Giant Lion of the Royal Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, Volod, the captain of the Giant Lion, reported to Raff, the Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire with a sad face: "General, the Black Bear Navy has sent a telegram. , General Murka of the Black Bear Empire has been killed, and the Black Bear Navy will be temporarily commanded by General Les.

This is already the third commander of our nine-nation naval joint fleet killed in action, alas"

In addition to Murka, the First Vice Minister of the Navy of the Black Bear Empire, Marshal Peter Ye, the commander of the Navy of the Light Elf Empire, and Marshal Prot, the commander of the Navy of the Dark Elf Empire, have all been killed in battle.

Raf, the Minister of the Navy of the Golden Lion Empire, said expressionlessly: "It's already dark, and the carrier-based aircraft of the Han and Tang Empire Navy will not be able to continue to launch air strikes on our combined fleet of nine navies.
