Chapter 61: The Tacit Assault on Lexington
When the two battleships Nagato and Mutsu of the glory force rushed to the Lexington aircraft carrier, the Houston light cruiser had sunk, the Lexington aircraft carrier was fine, and the Houston light cruiser was the most tragic one.
It is the 19th ship of the Cleveland-class light cruiser. It was originally a battleship on the island where the Glory Force and the Justice Force took over. This time, the Utopia destroyer was involved in an accident. The other three SSS-class historical battleships of the Glory Force urgently transmitted
Come over, the escort battleships are unable to teleport due to lack of capabilities, and the main force of the island where Houston is located is two Wyoming-class battleships, which are too slow, but the light cruiser USS Houston is fast, so I have the mentality of being a live doctor.
Brought her out to serve as Lexington's escort. The USS Houston light cruiser is still very good as an S-class historical battleship, but faced with the attack of two SSS-class historical battleships that are extremely good at sneak attacks, there is no way to survive.
Possibly, it was sunk by one blow.
The two battleships Iowa and Wisconsin saw the two battleships Nagato and Mutsu returning, but they did not see the destroyer Utopia. The Iron-Blooded King thought to himself, it seems Utopia was seriously injured, otherwise he would not have put it away. This
That's it. Let's attack the USS Lexington first and wait for the four impartial guys to see if they have a tacit understanding, because the sinking of the SSS-class historical battleship is a big deal. It is impossible for Iowa and Wisconsin to be at such a close distance.
Can't feel it.
With this thought in his mind, the Iron-Blooded King commanded Iron-Blooded's two battleships to attack the USS Lexington, while avoiding the attacks of three SSS-class historical battleships from the Glory Force, while waiting for the four SSS-class historical battleships from the Justice Force.
The purpose of the three SSS-class historical battleships of the Glory force was very clear, that is, to escape. Run to the border island and open the defense system and it would be safe. Therefore, they escaped while shelling, praying in their hearts that the battleships of the justice force would arrive later.
, Justice and Iron-Blooded forces do not have a tacit understanding. It would be best if the battleship Tirpitz returned to defend against the Iron-blooded forces.
The factual situation did not change according to the thoughts of everyone in the Glory Force. Seeing the three battleships of the Just Force cautiously appearing in the distance, the King of Glory's heart sank because the sea area they were currently in was the sea area of the Just Force.
They are here to relieve the siege. The just forces are so careful because they are afraid of a sneak attack by the iron-blooded forces. However, when the just forces see the iron-blooded forces' warships attacking them, they will not be like this. That will be the real test.
Sure enough, after the three SSS-class historical battleships of the impartial force, which were marching cautiously, saw the two battleships of Iowa and Wisconsin attacking Lexington, their speed increased significantly. The fastest Yamato took the lead, fired a salvo, and launched
White Death, the White Death turned around in the air and headed towards Lexington at high speed. The Iron-Blooded King, who was paying close attention to the movements of the three battleships of the Just Forces on the USS Iowa, felt relieved. He reached a tacit understanding and ordered the clothes randomly.
Two battleships, Iowa and Wisconsin, also fired special shells, targeting Lexington.
In fact, it is impossible to achieve any results by launching the White Death at such a long distance. In doing so, Miss Yamato was just explaining the situation to the two battleships of the iron-blooded forces. The responses from the two battleships of Iowa and Wisconsin showed that a tacit understanding was reached.
The goal of both sides is Lexington. Everyone in the Glory Force is also aware of this situation and is very anxious. However, at this time, there is no other good way except to focus on escaping.
At this time, the three battleships of the Just Force were still far away. In order to have a better attack target, the two battleships Yamato and Tirpitz began to teleport. Because of the Queen, they were not afraid that they would not be able to hold up the shield after teleporting.
The attack, sure enough, after the teleportation, the two battleships Nagato and Mutsu attacked Tirpitz for a round, but they were intercepted by Her Majesty the Queen, and then turned their guns to attack Wisconsin. Her Majesty's defense was the best in the world.
First, this is something that all commanders and battleships know. It is impossible to effectively attack the Yamato and Tirpitz battleships under the protection of Her Majesty the Queen. Therefore, turning the gun port and attacking Wisconsin is the right way.
The Wisconsin is the latest Iowa-class battleship to appear in the world, and it is also recognized as the SSS-class historical battleship with the weakest overall strength. In fact, the overall capabilities of the Wisconsin are similar to Tirpitz and Her Majesty, but the Tirpitz
Battleships have special abilities, and the special abilities are very powerful. Wisconsin has no special abilities, and it does not have as strong a defensive capability as the Queen. Therefore, combined, it is the weakest SSS-class historical battleship. The Glory forces are also picking up the weak.
Based on the principle of pinch, attack Wisconsin with all your strength.
The battles between SSS-class historical battleships are not as fierce as low-level battles. They all seem to be attacks one after another. The shells of the main guns are fused together and then fired together towards the target. Because of the speed of this fused shells
Very fast. To effectively intercept, you must have special skills. In most cases, you rely on the shield to resist. This was no problem in the past. After all, there are pseudo-SSS-class historical battleships that can help, and there are many combined skills of the same level.
So the problem is not big, but now it is different for the battleships of the Glory force. Now there are no other battleships to help. They are also facing attacks from a total of six SSS-class historical battleships from the two forces. Lexington's current task is to prevent
Mrs. Lex's carrier-based aircraft made a sneak attack, and the incendiary bombs she hoped to hit have not been extinguished to this day. Everyone in the Glory Force is very afraid of being hit by such a shell.
The Iron King saw that all the firepower of the Glory forces was attacking Wisconsin, so he asked Wisconsin to hide behind Iowa and attack Lexington. Now it was a competition to see whose shield of the two battleships Lexington and Wisconsin was broken first.
It is impossible to break the battleship shield of the justice forces. After all, there is the Queen. The reason why the glory forces did not form a dense formation to share the shield is because if they formed a dense formation, the power of the shield would be reduced by one level, and it would be even worse.
Increasing energy consumption will put all three SSS-class historical battleships in a dangerous state.
In the repeated attacks from the three parties, Lexington's shield was broken first. After all, the shield of an aircraft carrier is inherently not as powerful as that of a battleship. It was also attacked by six SSS-class historical battleships. Wouldn't it be better if the shield was broken first?
As for the solution, after the Lexington's shield was broken, the two battleships Nagato and Mutsu stopped attacking Wisconsin. They concentrated on firing red cannonballs to intercept the cannonballs attacking Lexington. Lexington's carrier-based aircraft also stopped attacking.
Prepare to sacrifice for the mothership, because there are many enemies. After discussion, everyone in the Glory forces must intercept the attacks of Yamato and Iowa. The three battleships Queen, Tirpitz, and Wisconsin have priority to intercept the Queen, and the remaining two battleships
It depends on the situation.
After the shield was broken, the Glory forces tenaciously intercepted two rounds of strikes, sacrificing four carrier-based aircraft. However, the third round of strikes was hit by Tirpitz. This round hit the flight deck, but did not hit.
Passed through the flight deck, and the fourth round of attacks was hit by Wisconsin, hitting exactly where Tirpitz had hit it before. It was specifically aimed at this time, but it did not penetrate, but cracks were already seen on the deck.
The fifth round of strikes was all intercepted, but due to the excessive losses of Lexington's carrier-based aircraft, two aerial bombs were hit by Lady Lex's carrier-based aircraft, and the two aerial bombs also hit the previous position. The second
After the aerial bomb exploded, a hole was blown out of the deck of the USS Lexington. The sixth round of strikes was hit by Her Majesty the Queen. The shell directly penetrated the Lexington along the hole in the deck and exploded internally.
With the rounds of strikes, more and more artillery shells and bombs were hit, and the deck gradually became riddled with holes. The two battleships Nagato and Mutsu also opened their shared shields from time to time to slow down the attack.
