As for the possibility of a forced landing by the German Marines...

It's hilarious! Even if we don't mention that Eugen's marines only had more than 300 people, there were thousands of British troops on the island, and they were defending it in a dangerous place - you have to know that the main body of the Bermuda Islands is a volcanic coral reef!

The volcanic eruption on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean formed the Bermuda Islands. Although it is covered with coral reefs, the main body is still a steep conical mountain formed by the cooling of the volcanic lava on the bottom of the sea! The islands formed in this way, on the outside of the islands, that is, the edge of the conical mountain, although the part exposed above the water is not high, it is extremely steep! And the edges of these main bodies rely on dense layers of coral reefs, so it looks like there are many shallows... As a result, there are few places suitable for large troops to land!

Except for Anne Bay, the easternmost part of the airport, the rest of the place is just a few small beachheads the size of a palm, which can be blocked by a light machine gun. Even Anne Bay is surrounded by layers of reefs, and the two wings of Anne Bay are also suitable for hiding troops, and the terrain of the entire landing site can be blocked by side fire.

The magnificence of nature is simply amazing, but it does not leave much space suitable for landing.

Of course, the terrain and enemy deployment here had already been reported directly to his sisters through WIFI by Zeppelin, who was more meticulous in the sky in order to make up for his mistakes. And those sisters were not idle either. After combining the situations on both sides, a detailed report on the enemy situation and terrain was reported to their respective captains - especially Lütjens and Top. One was the fleet commander and the other was responsible for transporting and covering the landing of the Marines. Therefore, they had to pay close attention to the situation in order to formulate an efficient and low-risk combat plan.

The relevant situation has been clearly marked by the girls on the nautical chart, including the enemy's position, the height of the hill, the location of the waterway and mines, which looks clear at a glance.

Although Bismarck has now returned to the oil depot, preparing for an internal and external attack, Eugen now stays with Top - the Prince Eugen will be the one leading the assault, so it won't work without little Eugen.

As for the reason why Bismarck arranged the positions of the sisters in this way, maybe he didn't want the happy little Eugen to feel psychological pressure because of direct violence... Emmmmmm...

Lütjens had not thought about this, but as the fleet commander, he still had to check the action carefully. He grabbed the short-range tactical radio, which was close enough to work without worrying about monitoring, and called Top:

"…Top, you have seen the terrain, enemy situation and information at the entrance to the Bermuda Channel, right? What are you going to do now?"

"Commander, I plan to rush directly across the waterway and occupy the oil depot!" Top didn't even think twice and blurted out his combat determination into the microphone on the radio.

Lütjens on the other side of the microphone looked normal, not at all surprised, and even had a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth.

=======================

"It's five minutes past six now. All ships, listen carefully to the combat orders... Next, our goal is to force our way into the waterway entrance and land directly at the oil depot!"

"Prince Eugen goes first! Bismarck follows to provide cover! When Prinz Eugen advances, the fighters of GR-186 will sweep the area with machine guns to provide cover, and then land after the sweep is completed! Tirpitz will stay in the open sea to provide artillery support, and after the Zeppelin has received the planes, it will cover the Zeppelin's entry into the port!"

On the tactical radio, Lütjens was personally arranging the battle plan, and the responses from his capable subordinates and comrades in arms in the headset were as quick and straightforward as usual.

"Prince Eugen, Toph understands!"

"This is Tirpitz, Lindemann reads!"

"The Zeppelin aircraft carrier and the GR-186 carrier-based aircraft wing will ensure the mission is accomplished!"

As the leaders of several warships responded loudly on the tactical radio, the German fleet, which had only a few drops of fuel left, began to move with the roar of the boilers! Prince Eugen took the lead, followed by Bismarck, and headed towards the nearby waterway entrance!

The main guns, secondary guns, anti-aircraft guns, and even machine gun shells of the battleships and heavy cruisers have all been loaded with ammunition. The sailors wearing helmets and red life jackets, under the cover of the gun shields, stare silently at the outline of the island mountain line that has begun to dim in the twilight, ready to open fire at any time!

The lifeboat on the Prince Eugen had already been equipped with an outboard engine, and had now been moved by the Marines to the direction facing away from the Bermuda Islands! The Marines' mortars had also been set up behind the steel breastwork of the warship - these 81mm and even 120mm mortars could not only bombard the enemies hiding on the reverse slope, but also try to detonate mines! No one noticed that the bow of the Eugen had quietly become sharper, and had a serrated blade...

Just under this sunset, the legendary evil spirit warship began to prepare to enter the port!

The blue-green waters of the entrance area were slowly cut by the gray-black painted steel bow, leaving tracks on the water. The sailors focused on the densely packed residential areas and lush trees on the shore, with cold sweat hanging on their temples, wondering if there was something ambushed inside.

The British officers and soldiers on the opposite side, and even the brave civilians who dared to poke their heads in front of the German evil spirits, looked at the heavy cruiser in front of them, which was still billowing smoke from the front deck, riddled with bullet holes, but full of iron-blooded momentum like a medal, and according to rumors, was controlled by the evil spirits of hell. It was so cold and ruthless that it sailed into the waterways of the Bermuda Islands that the British Empire had occupied since ancient times. In addition to anger and worry, they even had some mixed feelings in their hearts...

Although, what they didn't know and couldn't imagine was that the girl who was the incarnation of this battleship could actually be described in one word in every sense - cute...

However, even the cute little Eugen with twin ponytails like a little rabbit has begun to show its rabbit fangs as a warship of a hostile country.

A rabbit's teeth can hurt a lot when it bites someone when it's angry!

"Top Top, there, there... right there, they have two anti-tank guns... wait! And field guns! They pushed out the field guns too!"

Pulling Top's sleeve, Eugen kept pointing at the opposite side and shouting excitedly, fearing that Top couldn't hear him.

However, despite Eugen's instructions, Top could not see any of the British positions that were well hidden, even on the reverse slope, through his telescope - even the British on the opposite side were only more than a thousand meters away from him.

It seems that the British did not open fire at this distance because they wanted to wait until they had completely entered the entrance of the waterway, when they could no longer avoid it or take advantage of their range, and then use the anti-tank guns, field guns, and even machine guns in their hands to play a "bayonet on cannon" trick on them?

You are really underestimating me.

Is it well concealed? Can't you see it? That's not a problem! In naval battles, aren't they all separated by chart boards and radar screens, and at a distance of 10 to 20 kilometers, using artillery shells to greet each other? Not to mention, today we also saw anti-ship missiles - it doesn't matter if I can't see it, Eugen can see it and can hit it, that's all!

"Eugen, it's up to you - fight!"

After saying this simple sentence, Top grinned.

"Okay, okay, leave it to me!" Eugen nodded heavily, opened the cover of the microphone, and shouted crisply: "Mortar! Distance 1500 meters, bearing XXX, compensate the ship's speed lateral correction XX, fire!"

Following the girl's clear shout, in the corner of the deck, the four mortars behind the breastwork made muffled "bang! bang!" sounds one after another. In just a few breaths, they accurately hit the artillery position that the British thought was well hidden. After several balls of fire burst, a wheel of a gun carriage on the British position was blown upright and then rolled down the hillside crookedly.

When the officers and soldiers on the Prince Eugen saw this scene, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

When the sailors of the navy join the army, they also have to undergo basic army training to hone their physique and willpower, and cultivate the spirit of a soldier. The Marine Corps is composed of personnel drawn from the sailors, and there are naturally many soldiers specializing in artillery. Moreover, the parameters of mortars, which are artillery assigned to infantry, are directly based on angles and distances, which are easy to see at a glance. Naturally, it is not difficult for the sailors who deal with ship guns all day long. Not to mention, this is the artillery on the Prince Eugen - the artillery on the evil spirit warship, and it is still inaccurate?

When the British troops saw this scene, curses and orders were heard one after another. They understood that their clumsy cover-up, although it deceived human eyes, was completely visible to these evil spirits.

"Damn it, these damn German sailors - everyone, stop hiding! Our positions can be seen by the evil spirits! Fire! Fire!"

Following the British commander's orders, light and heavy machine guns, mortars, anti-tank guns, and even field guns all emerged from the bunkers and began firing. Prince Eugen was not to be outdone. In addition to the front main gun, the four mortars, together with the remaining 105mm anti-aircraft gun on the port side, three twin-mounted 50mm anti-aircraft machine guns, and four or five twin-mounted 37mm machine guns, all opened fire under the cover of the gun shield. Some sailors even brought MG34 machine guns from the light weapons depot on the ship and began to fire randomly at the opposite side. For a while, the battle between the ship and the shore was difficult to resolve.

However, right behind the Prinz Eugen, there are two battleships...

With a thunderous roar, the Bismarck battleship, which was slightly to the side behind, opened fire with her 380mm main guns and 150mm and 105mm secondary guns!

Because the distance was too close, it still could not threaten the enemy targets on the reverse slope, but the British positions deployed on the front line, whether they were buildings, shelters, or bunkers on the ridge, were all thrown to the ground by the artillery fire of 64 kilograms of explosives and a speed of more than 800 meters per second when it was freshly fired!

What was even more "shameless" was that Bismarck's 150 secondary guns and 105 anti-aircraft guns had been loaded with proximity fuses, and they tried to use the more indirect trajectory of light artillery to wash the British positions from a slightly longer distance. The characteristic of the proximity fuse that would explode at a certain distance was used as an air burst fuse by the evil spirit warships with rich experience in ground bombardment at this moment. In the face of the shells exploding in the air, even if they huddled in trenches and shell craters and crouched to defend, they would be blown into sieves under the dense rain of shrapnel! Even the British temporary shelters on the reverse slope were not necessarily safe in the face of the bombardment. Because at a farther distance from the port, where the indirect trajectory could be more fully utilized, there was also a large hamster providing fire cover, doing the same thing as her sister!

The British positions that had been able to fight Prinz Eugen seemed to be on equal terms, but under the joint bombardment of the three evil spirits, they were quickly defeated. Moreover, after the British positions on the front line were covered by the bombardment, the cat and mouse did not stop the bombardment, but extended the firepower to the positions and bays behind the first-line islands! Those British positions and torpedo boats that were slightly exposed were immediately covered. Even the British torpedo boats and demolition boats hiding behind the islands, which were theoretically on the reverse slope, were "given priority" by the heavy mortars deployed on the decks of the two evil spirit warships, Bismarck and Prinz Eugen!

The GRW34 81mm mortars that Bismarck and her team had originally requested from Rommel in the name of minesweeping equipment were of relatively average performance. Although they had a firing rate of 25 rounds per minute, they only had an effective range of 1200 meters. With the shallows area alone being hundreds of meters wide, it was difficult for them to deal with the Allied torpedo boats on the reverse slope.

However, long before landing on Socotra Island and setting up a garrison, a fleet commander named Lu actually went to the army with the surnames Gu and Long to get some powerful weapons for landing and minesweeping. It was said that they were freshly made from the Eastern Front, imitations of the Soviet Union's 120mm mortars!

Although Eugen, Top, Bismarck, and even Lütjens himself could not tell whether the 120mm heavy mortars in their hands, which they had obtained from the army through connections, were original PM1938 mortars captured directly from the Soviet army, or the first batch of GRW1938 mortars that imitated PM42. Because the numbers on the operating mechanisms of these guns had been replaced with German standards, and as a navy, it was natural that they were not very familiar with the army's weapons.

But - no matter whether it is original or imitation, what the soldiers care about is only whether it is easy to use.

But this gun is really easy to use: the rate of fire is ten rounds per minute, which is comparable to the explosive power of a 150mm naval gun, and the maximum range is six kilometers. It is a completely crazy existence! And the cost is very cheap!

Mortars are very good at attacking targets on reverse slopes, especially the islands in the island cluster here, which are neither big nor small, neither far nor near. The 81mm mortar's barely adequate range and power are not a problem at all in front of this thing's abnormal performance!

Seeing the 120mm mortar being fully utilized and reaching the pinnacle of performance on the spot, Top, Eugen, and Lütjens who was following behind, instantly understood why this thing was directly seized by the army and used.

And I silently gave a thumbs up to this gun in my heart.

After receiving such powerful artillery cover, Eugen commanded his mortar gunners to detonate several mines on the route ahead with heavy mortar shells, and then continued to advance cautiously towards the depths of the waterway.

But at the same time, in the command post deep in the island, looking at the heavy losses of infantry bunkers and torpedo boats, the British and American generals in the Allied Command were so angry that they almost gritted their teeth: "We can't wait any longer! These damn German ships and crews - torpedo boats! Demolition boats! Follow the channel on the reverse slope of the island and attack immediately!"

"YES SIR!"

Following the order from the Allied Command, the remaining seven or eight MTB torpedo boats and PT torpedo boats quickly started up at the highest speed and rushed out from the waterways behind several islands. Behind them were three or four suicide speedboats filled with explosives and with a row of outboard motors hanging on the back!

Even the Allied army on the shore, when they saw the torpedo boats and demolition ships rushing out, held their helmets tightly on their heads, carried out the usable field guns, anti-tank guns and even mortars and machine guns from the edge of the crater, and aimed again in the direction of Prince Eugen with the mentality of covering the torpedo boat assault, pulled the fuse and pulled the trigger - although the British Army is not the Royal Navy, and does not have Nelson, but when it comes to asking them to do their duty, they will never be vague!

Under the desperate cover of the British Army, the torpedo boats also rushed to the exit of the island group!

Although many of them were destroyed by mortar fire, they were high-speed torpedo boats after all, and many of them were able to evade the bombardment! Moreover, given the narrowness of the waterway, as long as they could aim the bow at the exit of the island waterway - they didn't necessarily need to rush out - they could launch torpedoes! And as long as the torpedoes were launched, the distance from the exit of the island waterway to the channel was less than a thousand meters at most, and a 45-knot torpedo was almost impossible to avoid!

The officers and soldiers of the Allied Navy torpedo boats knew that they were the last line of defense for the Bermuda Fortress, so at this time, everyone put their last courage into it. Especially the American Navy, who were often ridiculed as "young master soldiers", were even more angry - American soldiers were indeed playboys, but being playboys did not mean that they were really afraid of death! When the British Royal Navy officers and soldiers saw these Yankee young master soldiers rushing to the front, they were stunned and rolled up their sleeves...

"We may be dandies, but we are definitely not cowardly losers—brothers, charge!"

"What? They've already charged? Let's charge too! We can't be outdone by these Yankee soldiers!"

The PT torpedo boats led the way, followed closely by the MTB torpedo boats, and then the demolition boats followed! The British and American sailors were already blood-thirsty at this time. In their eyes, they no longer cared about anything except the evil warships that were "as bulky as living targets in the narrow waterway" in front of them - after all, there was nothing to care about now!

But... the things they "didn't care about" happened to include the dozen or so Sea Eagles of the GR-186 Squadron led by the Edelweiss Witch Zeppelin, which descended from the sky with the whistling sound of the wind!

"This is Edelweiss! All pilots, listen to my orders... GR-186 Wing, target spotted, attack in full force!"

A cold female voice came over the radio, and in response to her were the resolute replies from the ace pilots of the GR186 Squadron and the roar of the engines at full throttle!

"We must not let them threaten the Prinz Eugen... Support team, follow me to attack!" (A support maniac)

"Bullying a torpedo boat... is like shooting at a live target..." (Yellow No. 14 nicknamed "Africa's *")

"Graff received, attack!"

"Boys, your Uncle Rudel (your Uncle Buckhorn) is here!"

With the whistling of propellers, the rain of bullets from the 20mm MG-151 aircraft cannons created one splash after another, plowing past the torpedo boats and explosive boats that were originally just charging on board! The shells with the largest amount of gunpowder among the 20mm caliber aircraft cannons of various countries hit the thin hull of the torpedo boat, leaving all kinds of holes. Even in the explosion of the aircraft cannon shells, not to mention the diesel engine being blown up, even on the hull, with sparks, a bunch of basketball-sized holes instantly appeared! Coupled with the inertia of high-speed sailing, seawater splashed in from these breaches! The sailors desperately grabbed anything that looked like it could block the breach and rushed up to try to fill it, but they couldn't fill it up!

Meanwhile, the two battleships, Prinz Eugen and Bismarck, under the "cut vision" operation of their respective ship girls, unceremoniously turned their remaining 50mm and 37mm machine guns, bursting out chains of fire, madly lashing the sea surface at the exit - the torpedo boats that had just appeared immediately collapsed on the shallows, and those guys who had not yet appeared, even if they wanted to board, suffered heavy losses under the close-range machine gun fire and mortar suppression, as well as the three-sided attack of German fighter planes in the sky!

The torpedo tubes of the torpedo boats are directional. Without speed, they cannot turn quickly to take position. Facing the dense rain of machine gun shells, they are really just a group of trembling birds crouching in defense with their heads in their hands!

However, even a gull has ideals! Moreover, several seriously injured American warships that were beached over there were also desperately mobilizing their remaining firepower and began to fire at the Prince Eugen!

Behind the Prince Eugen, there was suddenly a column of water!

"Tsk... What a hassle... Tell the Commander and Top that I will take care of the wreckage of those American warships!"

Lindemann, who was providing fire support from a distance behind, couldn't help but spit, and used his hamster's catchphrase, then began to turn the main gun fire and began to hit those opponents who were determined to fight to the end even if they had to land on the beach!

However, just as Lindmann shifted his firepower, three torpedo boats, despite the fierce firepower, bypassed the wreckage of their sunken comrades and rushed out from the exit of the strait!

Six white lines of torpedoes rushed towards the Prinz Eugen heavy cruiser, which was sailing in the narrow waterway at a speed of 45 knots, facing the artillery fire from the shore and the remaining American warships, and moving forward in the rain of bullets at a speed of only 10 knots...

Chapter 723: The Fallen Star

As soon as the three torpedo boats broke out of the cover behind the island, they were hit head-on by the 37mm and 50mm machine guns of the Prinz Eugen, and even the 105mm cannons. However, in the spirit of desperate assault, although they had no time to aim, they also tried their best to aim at the torpedo boats ahead of the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen. In the last few seconds of their lives, they all pressed the torpedo launch button at the same time with hatred in their eyes.

As the launch button was pressed, those thick and heavy torpedoes were ignited and started to operate! Just before the torpedo boat was destroyed, they were thrown into the sea one after another under the operation of compressed air or throwing mechanism!

For a moment, all I saw were white trails interweaving into a large net, dragging at a speed of forty-five knots towards the evil warship in front of me.

Although the fragile British and American torpedo boats were torn into pieces by the dense and rainstorm-like barrage in the next second, the British and American officers and soldiers who had already seen the torpedo net spreading out, even before they fell into the water and died, had only the pleasure of revenge and the joy as if they had already seen victory in their eyes at the last moment.

The waterway at the entrance to Bermuda is very narrow. Even though these torpedo boats hastily launched torpedoes as soon as they emerged from the cover of the island, they were only 533 meters away from Eugen - a distance that a mm ship-borne torpedo could cover in just seconds at a full speed of knots!

The ten torpedoes dropped into the sea pulled out a somewhat messy but more powerful torpedo net, which was heading straight towards Eugen!

"Top! What should we do? Their torpedo boats are launching torpedoes. At this distance, we will be hit by torpedoes in less than a minute..."

Looking at the torpedo so close, Eugen panicked and looked at his captain pitifully.

"Eugen, don't panic, I'll take the helm - turn left fifteen degrees, change the compass point first. Eugen, you control the hull's strong pressure ventilation, and accelerate at full speed!"

Standing at the height of the bridge, looking at the faint white line on the sea not far away flying towards him, Top, with a sullen face, had lost his usual irritability. Instead, he walked to the rudder calmly, and his steady and powerful hands firmly grasped the steering wheel of the cruiser Prinz Eugen, as if he was grasping Eugen's shoulders to support her confidence...

"They are torpedo boats, not destroyers. Their torpedo tubes cannot rotate, so the angle of their torpedoes will not be too large. With one minute, with your acceleration performance, you will definitely have enough time to escape from their torpedo fan!"

Eugen, whose steering wheel was grabbed by Top, was still panicking, but he suddenly felt calm: "Oh... okay... now, I'm going to speed up!"

"Speed ​​up! Forced ventilation, three vehicles into five, full speed ahead - I'll turn around later, and I'll leave the grazing to you! Also, pay attention to whether there are other torpedo boats ahead!"

"Yeah! Okay, okay!"

Eugen nodded vigorously as Top gave his calm command. At the same time, the furnace of the boiler of the Prince Eugen heavy cruiser also began to burn fiercely with the roar of the fan!

The boiler of the Prinz Eugen was a Lamont boiler, and the steam pressure was much higher than the Wagner boiler generally used by the German Navy. Moreover, the boiler and engine unit were now operating at overload with strong pressure ventilation under the full power of Eugen!

With the will of the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen strengthened, each of her boilers produced more than 50 tons of steam per hour to replenish the already abundant steam reserves! The powerful reserve steam pressure of 85 atmospheres burned in the boiler pipes, passed through the steam throttle valve that had been opened to the maximum, hit the impeller of the steam turbine, and then passed through the high-speed steam turbine to turn into surging power!

This power passes through the madly spinning and speeding main shaft, driving the propeller that had long ago been modified by the ship girls themselves into a high-speed Guandao propeller shape. Even when the designed rated speed exceeds 320 revolutions per minute, it can still run stably with low resistance!

Her power unit and propeller were running at such an overload that the pulling force generated by the agitated water flow had greatly exceeded the limit specified in the design state! The design indicator of the Prinz Eugen required a thrust of less than 310,000 kilograms of force per second at 133,000 horsepower to support a 14,000-ton hull running at a speed of 32 and a half knots, but now the surging power generated by the Eugen's boilers and turbines exceeded 140,000 horsepower, and the thrust of the propellers reached 330,000 kilograms of force per second - and the hull resistance of the Prinz Eugen at 10 knots was only 29% of the original design state when it was running at full speed!

Besides, the heavy cruiser, which originally had a standard displacement of 14,000 tons, now weighs only a little over 12,000 tons after its fuel was exhausted and its ammunition was severely damaged. The Prinz Eugen, which was almost starving, now weighs only a little over 12,000 tons - although the consequence of this fasting method of weight loss is that Eugen always feels that he is starving.

Under the overload of the battleship's will, the speed of the heavy cruiser, which had already run out of fuel and was almost empty, began to gradually soar at an acceleration of nearly 0.2 meters per second! As the speed gradually increased, the rudder began to work, and the bow gradually began to tilt to the left.

(A speed of ten knots is about five meters per second, and if the acceleration is 5 meters per second^0.2, forty-five seconds is enough for Eugen to accelerate to a speed of fourteen meters per second - that is, a speed of 2 knots!)

Time passed quickly, and seconds passed even faster in the urgent situation. However, even though his body could accelerate from ten knots to more than twenty-seven knots in just forty seconds, in front of the torpedoes that were so close, Eugen still had a feeling that "this round of torpedoes cannot be avoided"!

In order to adapt to the channel and avoid torpedoes, her body, under the control of Top, had to turn to the left, that is, to face the direction of the incoming torpedoes - but the result was that she would be hit by those torpedoes in forty-five seconds!

At this position and depth, there is no way to hide!

Especially in the torpedo net on the side, there were two white lines that were flying directly towards the boiler room in the middle of the hull and the stern - even if the Allied torpedo boat pilots launched the torpedoes in a hurry, at such a close distance, there were still a few torpedoes that could not be avoided. Even if Prince Eugen had accelerated at full speed, it was still not enough to avoid the Grim Reaper approaching rapidly at a speed of 45 knots!

To make matters worse, at the eleven o'clock position in front of her left, 1,600 meters away, two new high-speed figures appeared - two MTB torpedo boats painted with British military markings, dragging wide "surfing" wakes, and like desperate criminals, they rushed out from the cover behind an island in front of them while firing machine guns crazily! Even after launching the torpedoes, these two guys did not evade at all, but followed behind the torpedoes, obviously with a posture of "Long live the British Empire, the sky is dark and the card is on board" - even, behind these two Showa-possessed guys, there were three assault boats piled with explosives.

There is no way forward and there are pursuers behind!

"Tsk... Damn it..."

Top, who was holding the steering wheel, subconsciously pushed it to the bottom. At this moment, his forehead was covered with sweat. As the captain of Eugen, he knew very well that the cruiser under his feet had an underwater defense of only 9 mm thick hull and 20 mm inner wall. If it really encountered the British and American torpedo boats on the opposite side, which were loaded with at least kilograms of RDX high-energy explosives, the consequences would definitely be disastrous!

However, as the captain of a heavy cruiser, he had to fulfill his duties at his combat station - even if the result of this "fulfilling his duties" was only the possibility of preventing the stern of Prince Eugen from being hit by one torpedo.

Although the machine guns at the bow were already firing frantically, and the Bismarck and Tirpitz, and even the Zeppelin's fighters, which were following behind to provide fire cover, were also desperately attacking the guys on board His Majesty the King. They watched the fragile torpedo boats and assault boats being quickly paralyzed one after another under the dense barrage of bullets. Even because the bow was facing the torpedoes and the opponent's attack was hasty, the gaps between the torpedoes were still relatively sparse. Even Top, who had already started to turn, was somewhat confident that he could get through these four hastily fired torpedoes.

However, the two most deadly torpedoes on the side are still moving!

Especially the torpedo that was destined for the middle of the ship, it seemed that there was no way to avoid it - although if a torpedo hit this position, the ship would not sink on the spot, but Eugen, which was severely damaged by the torpedo, would definitely lose speed directly due to water entering the boiler room and engine room.
