Another World: Naval Storm

"They...seem to have been attacked!" the officer stammered in response.

"General! The Lombard was hit by a torpedo and is seriously damaged! Requesting support!" The messenger brought bad news.

"Order the two light cruisers, Del A and Chifley, to turn around and cover the Lombard. Make sure to sink that damn submarine!" Sturdy weighed the pros and cons and continued to lead the fleet to pursue Leo's fleet. The order from Talen had been directly issued to the Third Battlecruiser Squadron. The government strictly ordered Sturdy to pursue and destroy Leo's fleet.

"At any price!" The last word of the telegram let Sturdy know that he had no room for bargaining!

Upon receiving the order, the Del A and Chifley quickly cruised beside the Lombard, throwing depth charges into the sea from time to time.

Explosions were heard one after another as the Del A and Chifley searched the sea surface with the Lombard as the center.

The threat of depth charges was great, but fortunately the U-134 submarine did not suffer much damage. Only a few valves collapsed due to water pressure. After waiting for a long time, Peller ordered the submarine to surface to a depth of 20.

"Our mission has been accomplished, may God bless General Leo!" The U-134 then sailed deep into the Atlas Sea.

On the other side, Leo's fleet was traveling at full speed, but unfortunately it failed to shake off Sturdi.

"General! They are moving very fast! Should we use artillery fire to slow them down?"

"It's useless. They won't care about the distance!" Sturdy's fleet has been following Leo at a distance of about 10 kilometers, so that they will not lose the target and will not be attacked.

Following the tail of Leo's fleet were two armored cruisers, and their attacks were barely enough to scratch the surface of the three battlecruisers leading the Talenstedi fleet.

"General, what are they waiting for? Why are they chasing us like this?"

"They are waiting for the rest of the fleet to come to their aid. Sturdy is being very cautious this time!"

"Then what do we do?"

"What should we do? Wait for an opportunity to beat him up! He can't run away!" Leo vented his dissatisfaction, "I've asked the Empire to research a new power system a long time ago. After much research, the improved Von der Tann can only run at a maximum of 28 knots!"

The mainstream idea of ​​the current Talen Royal Navy is that speed equals protection, and the Talen battlecruiser is slightly faster than the Drake battlecruiser.

"Dawson, if you and I were buried here today, what regrets would you have!"

"General! I have no regrets. I am willing to die for the empire!" Dawson's face was firm, and his sonorous words were very inspiring.

"Fuck!" Leo thought, Dawson, I don't want to die, Hannah is waiting for me to come home.

"System, come out quickly!"

[I'm here, Commander]

【What do you want? 】

"Give me all the merit points to upgrade the main gun accuracy!"

[Yes! Upgrade the main gun accuracy to level 3]

[Level 3 Main Gun Accuracy: Main Gun Hit Rate is 10%]

The system gave Leo some comfort. You know, in a war in the previous life, there was a naval battle between the first and second naval worlds.

One side's large-caliber artillery shells had an average hit rate of 3.33%, and 107 medium-caliber and small-caliber shells hit, with an average hit rate of 1.16%; the other side's large-caliber artillery shells had an average hit rate of only 2.17%. It should be noted that at that time both sides fired more than large and small-caliber shells.

"General! I've always been curious about what that plan is?" Dawson finally got rid of his stereotype of the Drake people and wanted to understand the plan that Leo asked the locals to implement some time ago.

"Nothing much. Just using me and the fleet as bait to lure some of Talen's fleets to chase us, and then destroy them with submarines in an ambush!"

Leo brought the submarine wolf pack tactics to this world. The wolf pack tactics is a cluster attack by multiple submarines. This tactic is very similar to the hunting of wolves. Leo has organized some of the Drake Empire's submarine forces into several teams. According to the combat plan, they have been lurking underwater for some time.

Before Leo sent out the signal, they had been enduring the loneliness, waiting for the best opportunity to suddenly launch an attack and achieve the greatest results.

"Dawson, will you hate me for risking the entire fleet!"

"Of course not! General, a soldier's honor lies on the battlefield! What's more, you are with us!" Dawson said firmly.

"I originally wanted to catch just one big fish, but who knew there would be another giant shark!" Leo smiled helplessly. From the God's perspective, the fleet led by Liam triggered a 60-kilometer alarm.

"What's wrong? General!" Dawson has been with Leo for so long that he knows some of his habits.

"It seems that the Tarun people hate me to the core! Another fleet is coming from not far away." He didn't know that it was Liam who was coming, otherwise he would be under more pressure, after all, they are old friends.

"What about us?..."

"Keep moving forward, we're not far from the ambush!"

In the sea not far away, the eight Draque submarines suspended in the sea have been ready for battle after receiving the order. They originally had some complaints about Leo. After all, they watched other comrades sink a patrol boat today and a 8-ton cargo ship the day after tomorrow, while they were waiting for no results, and they felt very uncomfortable.

"General Leo, pass on the order! Each submarine must retain two torpedoes, because the Talens have two fleets chasing us!"

"Should we call in other submarines to join the battle?"

"It's too late. By the time they arrive, it will be too late!"

After passing Cape Verde, Leo arrived at the ambush circle he had planned. In fact, if the Draco submarine in the ambush circle had discovered the Talen's Third Battlecruiser Squadron, Leo would not have taken such a risk, because the ocean is so vast.

"General, General Liam called and said they are not far from us! He asked us to intercept Leo's fleet!"

"I'm not his subordinate!" Sturdy muttered, "But it's time to end this chase! Speed ​​up!"

Soon, the Talen battlecruisers were close to 6 kilometers, and the leading main gun of the Indomitable opened fire, weighing 340.19 kg, at an initial velocity of 450 meters per second, shooting at the last armored cruiser of the Leo fleet, the Forry.

The 210mm rear main gun of the Foley also fired back, but unfortunately neither side hit the target this time. However, with the help of Leo's skills, the second counterattack of the Foley hit the lower bow of the Indomitable, and the damage was limited, after all, the bow had strong defense.

"The Drake people's artillery fire is so accurate?" Sturdy was a little confused. After all, the Drake Navy did not have a hundred-year history like the Royal Navy. The last battle with Leo's fleet had already made him realize that the overall quality of Leo's fleet was good, but had it improved again this time?

"It must be a blind cat catching a dead mouse!" said the chief of staff next to him.

Sturdy nodded. He always believed that the Royal Navy was invincible!
