Crete Offshore Naval Warfare - Entry
1: 21.
On the tail deck of the second fleet flagship of the Pontifical Navy of Holy Tyrrhenia (Regia Marina), "GUIDE", the deputy secretary of the rapporteur shouted at General Vermilio.
"Signal from the preceding Ostmarc battleship, Blenheim!
"Read it."
"Ha. It's more than 'Operation, move to phase three'!
"... are you here"
To that signal waiting, Vermilio dawned. There are two reasons for this.
One is the joy of being able to launch an attack against the Hate Christ Navy.
And the second was because he was excited to see up close the brave battle of the preceding Ostmarc fleet.
Six fleets, starting with the Ostmarc Fleet Second Battalion "Brenheim", lay a single lateral formation in front of the Tyrrhenian fleet. Thanks to this, the enemy's attention has been drawn, and the Ostmarc fleet is currently under more intense attack than the Christ fleet.
That, in turn, means that the damage to the Tyrrhenian fleet is minimized by the Ostmarc fleet becoming the ship responsible for the damage.
The distance between the Tyrrhenian and Christ fleets is about 1000. It is usually a miracle to approach this distance and be intact. The only damage to the Tyrrhenian fleet so far has been two shots of stray bullets "Sea God Piercing Bullet (Egil)" swept to the starboard side of the flagship "GUIDE".
And more importantly, the morale of tens of thousands of generals below General Vermilio had risen to the bravery of the Ostomark fleet, who was shielding themselves and putting themselves at the forefront.
Admiral Vermilio will share his audience with the generals under his command.
"Gentlemen. By the battle of our valiant friends we have come this far. We fight for our friends, who bear all the attacks from that enemy. Teach them that the most powerful of the South China Sea is the honorable Pontifical Navy (Regia Marina). Good!"
"" "" Ha!
They had the pride of being the strongest.
It was intolerable for them to hide in the shadows of their friends until they reached a distance of 1000, and when they fought and lost, as a man of the sea, it was synonymous with death.
They had such a heart.
Having seen its heart, Vermilio nods deeply and screams.
"All fleets, three o'clock on the right! Port (Hidashi) Magic Artillery Battle ready! Behind the enemy fleet!!"
---
I saw the starboard turn of the Tyrrhenian fleet, the commander of the Christ fleet, General Theodorakis, noticed. That they were desperate and that the Ostmarc fleet that was attacking them because of madness was a shield.
"Chip. You mean that, you barbarian!!"
He was angry that using the Friends as a shield, etc. was not about samurai, but the situation was leaning in a bad direction for him.
The Ostmark fleet he focuses his attacks on was navigable but had suffered good damage considering it had already lost its combat capability. Thanks to this, however, to the fatigue of the magicians in the fleet under his command and the draining of magic, it was heavy on the Christ fleet to take on a new elite Tyrrhenian fleet here.
"Enemy Fleet Successor Unit, starboard turn around. Supposedly behind our fleet."
"Fuck."
Theodorakis throws up evil.
Battleships are equal to no rear firepower. Not only that, but there are important points at the stern, such as the captain's office, cafeteria, admiral's office and steering gear. Furthermore, the structure of the battleship was weak in defense, and there was a danger that the entire ship would be damaged if subjected to magic with excellent penetration such as the "Sea God Piercing Bullet (Egil)" at the stern.
That's why taking the back is the most important thing to avoid in a fleet battle. Theodorakis therefore has no choice but to order.
"All fleets, widen the sail to maximum and start starboard turning back. Take a needle to the northwest to catch the wind and keep your distance from the enemy fleet"
The decision is not a mistake. Rather, it could be said to be the best of the measures that Theodorakis could take.
He decided to grab the southeasterly wind and make every effort to escape from the Tyrrhenian fleet, which manoeuvres without taking his back. He said if we distance ourselves and regain our posture, we should be able to have another fleet battle in five minutes.
But what he had lost sight of at this time was the presence of the Ostmarc fleet entering at full speed.
Though he has almost lost his combat capability, his fleet has not lost its navigational capability.
Moreover, something went beyond his expectations.
On the stern deck of the Ostmarc battleship "Blenheim", Yuzef Waresa exclaimed.
"Now!
That's when Theodorakis saw something odd.
There was a fire between the ships and ships of the Ostomark fleet forming a single horizontal formation. It's not a metaphor or anything, there's a literal "fire".
Fire flies from the Ostmarc Battleship towards the Ostmarc Cruiser as well. When Theodorakis gazes often, it's
"... rope?
It was a rope. The rope was on fire. Fire travels through the ropes and leads to the cruiser. It's like a fire line.
No, it was a fuse line.
Shortly afterwards, a giant pillar of fire rose almost simultaneously from two Ostmarc cruisers.
"Hey, what!? What happened!?
Enemy ship caught fire. It is usually something to rejoice in. In fact, non-Theodorakis humans were happy to think it was their own battle.
But Theodorakis noticed something strange.
Fire columns rise, masts burn, sails burn down. There's no way we can navigate, no matter what we think, but somehow we go for it and we come in. This can't be because of the strong southerly wind.
Even though it is a ship in great flames, no one is trying to escape. Normally everyone jumps into the ocean trying to escape the fire, but it doesn't.
Weird. When Theodorakis thought that, he realized all the facts.
The cruiser is not sailing. That it is the battleships beside them that are sailing. In other words:
"They're towing a cruiser!?
There were two ropes.
One is as a fuse wire. Sorcery cannot fire accurately due to hitting accuracy problems, but if it is rope, it can be exact.
And the other was for towing. If Theodorakis and others had looked closely, they would have been able to confirm that the tough rope for towing was stretched.
A patrol ship that is inflamed, but towed into it. It was clear where this was intended.
"Contact all fleets. Right now, seven points at once! Defeat the enemy patrol ship!
"Or, my lord!?"
To Theodorakis' sudden order, a deputy can be wolfed.
"You don't understand! They're gonna blow themselves up! We're not gonna make it unless we dodge it immediately!
Even time to order that again was a waste to him. At this time, the distance between the inflaming enemy cruiser and the Christ fleet was cut by 500. They're slowing down somewhat because they're being towed, but they'll still be coming in soon.
Even if the deputy rushed to convey the order to the successor ship, it was a difficult task.
In a fleet battle that only has a simple means of transmission: a signal bullet, a flag signal, and a signal flag, it does not come true to tell all about Theodorakis's orders and why.
One ship does not realize that an enemy patrol ship is being towed, and goes straight ahead in defiance of the unintelligible orders unleashed by General Theodorakis, alerting the Tyrrhenian fleet approaching from the rear, while another ships disciplined General Theodorakis's orders and turns starboard.
The confusion was a tragedy for the Christ fleet.
Ostmarc Battleship Each ship will deploy to the left and right to put forward a patrol ship to tow, cutting the rope for towing. Before the patrol ships that go straight with their inertia alone, just as each ship in the Christ fleet notices, each taking evasive action.
But it was too late. Rather, the evasive action created extra confusion in the fleet.
And 1: 22.
Two Ostomark cruisers advancing with flammable materials themselves as giant fireballs collide on the port side of the second battleship, Kemel, with Tours, a first-class cruiser belonging to the South China Sea side fleet of the Christ Navy.
The bows of two Ostmarc cruisers decide on the ports of "Toos" and "Chemel". Make a big hole in the port and let massive amounts of sea water intrude from it. Furthermore, the fire burned and a situation occurred in which four ships would be inflamed almost in the middle of the Christ fleet.
This situation was more deadly for the Christ fleet than the fact that two warships had become incapacitated.
A battleship belonging to the Fleet of Christ had suffered the damage.
"Captain! The smoke is in the way and the flagship 'Okeanis' is invisible!
"What!? Then can't you get in touch with 'Okeanis'!!
Smoke that could be pulled in from the four inflaming warships was traversing the centre of the fleet by strong southeasterly winds. That enormous smoke completely severed the chain of command between the flagship Okeanis and the rear guard fleet, which runs at the head of the Christ fleet.
At this time, on the stern deck of the flagship Okeanis, Theodorakis was desperately giving orders to the rear guard fleet. Says,
"Return to starboard immediately and exit battlefield. Restore your posture."
and.
But the order never reached the rear of the fleet.
The rear ships, disturbed by smoke and unable to receive orders from the flagship Okeanis, have no choice but to act at their own discretion.
But even though the fleet is just confused, further behind it is the elite Tyrrhenian fleet approaching with neat, but overflowing, kill.
Having seen the wolf of the Fleet of Christ and the morale of the Fleet of Friends, Vermilio was convinced of the victory.
"Communicate to all fleets!" Beat the Sea God Piercing Bullet (Egier) on the ass of the enemy fleet "!
