Steel Dynasty - Chapter 1188
[Chapter 1175 Rain of Bullets]
Strait of Gibraltar.
This is a narrow strait between southernmost Spain and northwestern Africa.
At this time, in this sea area that Spain regarded as its own pond, a special imperial fleet was passing through.
This is the most powerful battleship currently in the empire, a powerful fleet composed of battleships and cruisers.
“Report to the general, the Spanish fleet has been spotted ahead! They are fleeing.”
On the battleship Zhenxing, the soldiers responsible for observation reported the situation on the sea to Ding Chang. After the official declaration of war with the St. Petersburg Allies, the imperial navy was tasked with cleaning up the European fleet. .
Now that the British fleet has been annihilated, only France, Spain, and Portugal still have navies in Europe. What they have to do now is to sink the last fleet in Europe into the sea.
“Catch up!” Ding Chang gave the order calmly.
After serving on battleships and cruisers, he, an instructor of naval cadets, was transferred to the fleet and was responsible for leading the fleet to annihilate the enemy.
After receiving the order, the imperial fleet was at full speed and quickly caught up with the Spanish fleet.
As the soldiers reported, the Spanish warship was escaping. Knowing that it was no match for the imperial fleet, the navies of the three countries all chose to avoid the imperial attack and wander on the sea.
And this makes the Imperial Fleet’s task much more difficult.
The enemy fleet came into sight, and Ding Chang immediately let the battleship’s artillery fire. For him, this maritime mission was very easy.
The ultra-long range of the battleship’s main gun allows it to hit European battleships from a long distance.
“Boom, boom, boom…”
After the order was issued, the main gun on the battleship quickly adjusted its angle, and with a huge roar, the shells exploded in the Spanish fleet.
The nearly one-ton shell exploded, and the powerful force caused a splash of water tens of meters high. The Spanish warship was even shaken by the shock wave.
This scene made the Spanish warships panic even more, but more shells followed, and a warship was hit and instantly blown to pieces.
Then came the second ship and the third ship.
When the gunfire subsided, only the wreckage of twelve Spanish warships remained on the sea.
“Continue to search.” Ding Chang ordered, he would sink all enemy warships playing hiding games with the imperial fleet at sea.
…
Venice.
Three days passed in a blink of an eye. During these three days, the soldiers’ fatigue caused by the journey was gone, and the time difference was reversed.
According to the plan, Lu Fei summoned the generals of the army on this day. The commanders of the three military regions gathered in Austria this time. However, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the expedition and could directly order Lei Ming and Ye Qingyun.
“According to the plan, we will launch an attack at noon today. This time we carry many advanced weapons. In this war, we must use our weapon advantages to minimize casualties.” Lu Fei pointed to the densely packed tanks, transport vehicles, and rocket launchers. Howitzer said.
On the battlefield, Lu Fei was their superior. Ye Qingyun and Lei Ming made a serious military salute and agreed at the same time.
After discussing the details of the battle with the two of them, the three of them each led their own soldiers to the war zone.
…
Kasem.
This is a small town on the southwest border of Austria. Opposite Kasem is the Spanish border.
When the relationship between the two countries was normal, Kasem was very noisy as a trading city between the two countries, but now there is a trace of uneasiness about the war lingering in Kasem City.
The Austrian army from Vienna has built fortifications here, and the Spanish and Portuguese armies of the Fifteenth Army also arrived here a few days ago. Yesterday, they launched their first attack on the Austrian army.
However, due to the stubborn resistance of the Austrian soldiers, the Spanish and Portuguese coalition forces made little progress.
Now everyone is worried about today’s war. After all, they heard that the French army is also heading towards Austria. It is impossible for them to fight against three countries at the same time.
Just when they were worried, suddenly thick smoke and dust rose from Kasem in the direction of Vienna. When they saw clearly what was in the dust, the residents and troops of Kasem cheered.
As in the defeat of France, the imperial army once again came to Austria at a critical moment.
“The Empire is Austria’s eternal friend.” Camsen residents rushed to both sides of the street, with a smile on everyone’s face.
Austrian soldiers lined both sides of the road and saluted the imperial vehicles.
This time the Austrian general in charge of the southwestern front was General Sentia, who set out with Thunder in Venice.
“General Thunder, now every Austrian resident has a good impression of you. It was you who saved Austria last time. I hope it will be the same this time.” Sendia said sincerely.
Lei Ming had a smile on his face. This special treatment gave him the feeling of returning home triumphantly. He said: “This time, 150,000 people from the three military regions came to Europe to end the evil rule of the St. Petersburg Entente. Immediately I will prove that the empire can fulfill its promise. “
Sentia said: “I believe you, the command of the Austrian army is yours now.”
Lei Ming nodded, the convoy stopped in front of the position, and he immediately gave up the machine. The gunners entered the trenches while placing howitzers and rocket launchers in the rear.
Then he put eighty-six tanks on standby, preparing to mow down the remaining enemies on the battlefield after preparing the artillery.
Everything was ready, Lei Ming and Sendia came to the rocket launcher position.
For this war in Europe, one hundred and eighty rocket launcher vehicles were transported here. With such a high cost, they had only one purpose, which was to crush the enemy’s will in the first battle.
“General Lei, what exactly is this weapon?”
Sendia was very interested in rocket launchers, but Lei Ming never told him.
After hearing this, Lei Ming said with a smile: “The reason why I don’t tell you is to let you see with your own eyes.”
After that, he said to the artillery battalion tent: “Let’s get started.” After
receiving the order, the artillery battalion commander gave the order , twenty-four rocket launchers flew out with a “swish, swish!” and drew traces of tail flames in the air.
At the same time, other rocket launchers also began to fire. Lei Ming’s sixty rocket launchers fired more than a thousand rockets in a short period of time.
Sentia was stunned because the Spanish and Portuguese positions were instantly covered by the dust raised by the explosion.
When the smoke cleared, he found that the Spanish and Portuguese positions were dead silent, as if everyone was dead.
Lei Ming remained calm when he saw this, and at this time he let the howitzer bombard the enemy’s position.
Having experienced large and small wars, he clearly knows that artillery is the main force in destroying enemies on the battlefield.
This time, in order to defeat the Spanish and Portuguese coalition forces in one fell swoop and leave them with indelible memories of terror, he decided to blow up all of them at once.
