Tower of Babel

Chapter 136

Captain Booker's doom soon came! Three Twin Tails dived at the same time. Twelve torpedoes concentrated on the front of the Indomitable, causing serious water damage to the bow. The Indomitable stuck out its butt and the propeller leaked out. Although there was no risk of sinking because the torpedo had missed the target, the propeller was leaked out! The ability to sail has been lost. The turret of a strategic ship is very heavy, and it is impossible to rotate the turret regardless of the tilt angle. When the hull tilts to a certain angle, the gun barrel will sag due to gravity and lose the ability to rotate. The Indomitable also lost its combat effectiveness.

This was a complete one-sided massacre. The British Empire warships were unable to fight back. The commander of the First and Second Fleets had no choice but to order a breakout. Dozens of warships dispersed in a rush. Everyone goes their separate ways and puts the pedal to the metal. Like wolves and pigs, they try to escape.

However, in terms of speed, warships can never be faster than airplanes, and in terms of quantity, warships are not as large as airplanes. So what's the point of escaping dispersedly? What's more, Zhang Cheng had launched the satellite a long time ago, and the satellite above Jiutian had already locked their position, and they could not escape for a while. As long as you don't run out of the plane's range, it will be difficult to escape.

The British Empire has never encountered such a dark moment since the establishment of its navy. It could not run away. Even after breaking out, they were still being called out one by one. Ship after ship were steel behemoths wearing heavy armor and holding huge cannons. He had no power to fight back and was reduced to a lamb to be slaughtered.

The Twin-Tailed Lion has a bomb load of five tons and can carry four torpedoes. An aviation squadron can carry twelve torpedoes, fully capable of sinking a battleship. The Indomitable survived because it missed the target, but no one paid attention to it anymore, so let's just stick it out again!

Booker fell badly and covered the big bump on his forehead. Said"Quick! Send a report to London. The Russians have conquered the air-dropped torpedo technology. Our fleet has been completely destroyed. Our warships need it. We need to increase the anti-aircraft firepower quickly, otherwise they will be lambs to be slaughtered."

Huen said anxiously:"But ours The communication has been severely interfered, and now the headphones are full of noise."

Booker roared:"Don't worry about those damn noises, just send the report according to my wishes. As for the result, it only depends on God's will!"

Huen knew that he could only be a dead horse now, so he struggled to crawl to the position of the telegraph machine at the back of the ship. If many things on the warship were not fixed to the deck with bolts, he might have been trapped by now. Under the table, but even so, it was all in vain, God did not hear Booker's prayer. Soon soldiers with heavy guns and live ammunition arrived in a tugboat and ordered the Indomitable to surrender. Booker chose to obey, and the Indomitable was towed into the military port.

Killing is not the only option. It was such a pity to sink all these warships. After the first wave of attacks, the firing angle and height of the small-caliber naval guns were basically discovered. Therefore, in the second wave of attacks, it was decided to use certain helicopters to land on the enemy ships and capture them..

At this time, the flagship of the combined fleet, the Sovereign, took the lead and cut through the waves to escape desperately. The chimney of the heavy oil boiler had already sprayed flames, but it still could not get rid of the plane in the sky. The Twin-Tailed Lion dived again, the 30mm aviation cannon roared, and a hail of bullets fell from the sky, ruthlessly sweeping across the deck, causing a burst of sparks and clanging sounds.

Battleships and tanks have a common problem, that is, the armor on the top of the turret is very thin. A burst of strafing not only cleared the people on the deck, but also opened the tops of several turrets. The ammunition exploded and smoke billowed. If it weren't for the heavy iron doors inside the turret to prevent explosions, the ammunition depot might have been damaged!

After the helicopter arrived at the scene, it shouted through the loudspeaker:"Listen to the people on the ship, surrender immediately and put down their weapons, otherwise they will be buried in the belly of the fish. If anyone dares to open the sea valve and sink himself or detonate the ammunition depot, the entire fleet will be buried. No one was left alive. The people on the boat listened and immediately surrendered and laid down their weapons."···

The loudspeaker repeated the persuasion broadcast over and over again, but if there was resistance, they would be faced with crazy cannon fire. The armor-piercing capability of the 30mm caliber machine gun is 60mm homogeneous steel plate. Although it cannot penetrate the main armor of the strategic ship, it is weak against the attachments on the warship, such as bridges, walls, hatches, turret roofs, etc. Part of it was simply devastating, and the suppressed enemy did not dare to show its face at all. Facing the warship that had lost its ability to resist, the Chinook directly rappelled, dropped a company of special operations teams, and then quietly left. Although large battleships have thousands of personnel, most of these personnel are sailing warships and do not have personal weapons. Only the guards and supervisors are equipped with firearms. After a company of troops boarded the ship, it was more than enough to take control.

Fleet Commander Leclerc slapped the table and said angrily:"This is too much! I ordered the sea valve to be opened immediately and the sea valve was scuttled. I don't believe in mass burial. How dare the bear openly defy the Geneva Convention!"

Deputy Commander Nick did not want to die and tried to dissuade him. Said:"Commander, the furry bears have not been recognized yet, so they are not eligible to join the convention! It seems unreasonable to ask them to talk about the convention."

Leclerc took out his gun, pulled the trigger and loaded the bullet, and said angrily:"Stop talking nonsense, execute Order, what if there is Operation Rainbow even if Germany is defeated? Aren’t we, the soldiers of the British Empire, inferior to the Germans?" He pointed a gun at Nick and ordered:"Go down and open the sea valve, go quickly!"

There is an elevator in the warship command room. The sea valve that goes directly to the bottom of the ship is used for the final self-sinking. Even if it breaks into the interior, it will be difficult to stop it for a while, so few people have any thoughts of capturing the enemy ship. Nick glanced at Leclerc fiercely, but reluctantly entered the elevator and prepared to open the sea valve.

Suddenly there was a gunshot, but it was not Leclerc who thought he was too slow, but the staff officer, John Pound. Directly shot and killed the fleet commander. No one wants to die, especially oneself, because suicide is an important traditional concept in Western culture. But Leclerc is different because he is an aristocrat. Once he surrenders, his family will suffer humiliation. The fief will also be taken away, so he must die in battle. After the surrender of the flagship Sovereign.

Zhang Cheng temporarily released the radio suppression, and then issued a power call in the name of the fleet commander, requiring the entire fleet to sail to St. Petersburg and surrender, otherwise they would all be sunk. In the end, nearly half of the warships chose to surrender under the threat of aviation.

As for the British Empire, after a short period of radio communication was restored, it immediately received the surrender order from the Combined Fleet Command and hurriedly sent a message to inquire about the specific situation. However, no reply was received and the communication was interrupted again. Just as the entire British Empire was as anxious as a fever. When the ants on the pot are spinning around anxiously. But from the radio came the song of the furry bear celebrating his victory.

We are all flying troops, even if the mountains are high and the water is deep, we have no guns or cannons, and the enemy built us no warships or ships, well done to the British Empire! Even if you turn the ship around, don't even think about running away.···
