Chapter 171 Looking for Fang Rui

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

The Black Sea Fleet and Wuthering Heights, each with twelve warships, were lined up on both sides of the archipelago.

Although the game World of Warships is known as a "realistic naval battle game", people prefer to call it a "magic bathtub naval battle game".

After all, from a God's perspective, it really looks like a small toy floating in the bathtub.

It looks like a sense of joy.

"The opponent's lineup... is quite interesting." Zhu Xiaoping was driving his aircraft carrier "Red Baron", observing the opponent's lineup with a sneer in his eyes.

The German aircraft carrier "Red Baron" is Zhu Xiaoping's favorite aircraft carrier, no doubt about it.

The reason is simple, because it is a test of technology.

The body is fragile and has many weaknesses, so if caught, it is basically dead. At the same time, attacking also requires good enough operation to deal damage.

Even though he knew that he would most likely be the target of the enemy's attention this time, Zhu Xiaoping still drove out the Red Baron with full confidence.

Zhu Xiaoping likes the feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife.

As someone who was used to being a foil in glory, the word he hated the most was mediocrity.

Playing the most difficult aircraft carrier and delivering the most dazzling performance is his new life creed.

Apart from him, the lineups chosen by other members of the Black Sea Fleet are relatively conventional, capable of both offense and defense, and focusing on a steady and cautious approach.

Anyway, as long as Zhu Xiaoping can maintain the advantage in the air, this game will be easy.

The lineup of Wuthering Heights is a bit intriguing.

How to say it? The main feature is fire prevention, theft prevention and aircraft carrier prevention.

Not only did they deploy generals with outstanding air defense capabilities such as Harlan, Golden Lion, and Worcester.

They even brought out the Italian battleship Columbus, which is rarely seen in high-end games, just for its train smoke that can block the vision of aircraft carriers.

In addition, Zhu Xiaoping also saw a number of warships charging into the formation, which were obviously heading towards him.

"The other party's intention is a bit obvious." Zhu Xiaoping sneered.

As soon as the lineup of Wuthering Heights was put forward, the idea was already clear.

Basically, he took Zhu Xiaoping's aircraft carrier as the core target and used strong air defense

Zhu Xiaoping had naturally studied the so-called support from Wuthering Heights carefully.

Combining the public information and our understanding of Hui Xiao, this person can only be Fang Rui.

This master of the Dirty Style had manipulated his Ghostly and Suspicious Powers countless times to appear on the edge of the Hundred Flowers Battle Formation, looking for an opportunity to kill their core with one blow.

However, the core of Baihua was Zhang Jiale in the past and Zou Yuan later, and they had never had anything to do with Zhu Xiaoping.

And today, it was his turn to become the target of Fang Rui's one-hit-kill attack.

The league’s number one master of sneaky tactics?

Then come and see it.

"Let the action begin!" As the deep and powerful game voice sounded, Zhu Xiaoping released the torpedo plane.

Among the three types of aircraft carried by the Red Baron, the torpedo plane is relatively weak. Its performance is not outstanding among torpedo planes of the same level, and it is not the Red Baron's main means of output.

The free start at the beginning meant that Zhu Xiaoping chose a steady start with harassment as the main approach.

He did not choose to take off and launch a terrifying bomber to attack the aircraft carrier at Wuthering Heights right away, because he had already done it once in the previous round.

The opponent will definitely take precautions in this round.

Greatly strengthening the protection of aircraft carriers may not necessarily achieve such outstanding results if we still insist on capturing the enemy's aircraft carriers.

Simply use a more conventional way of playing, use torpedo planes to disrupt the formation at the beginning, wait for the opportunity to appear, and then launch bombers or rocket planes to deal fatal damage.

Torpedo planes were speeding through the sky with a piercing noise. Zhu Xiaoping carefully controlled their course to ensure that they would not run headfirst into the air defense circle of any ship.

As a game where victory or defeat is determined by vision, the aircraft carrier's work of exploring the field of vision at the beginning of the game must be done well.

The speed of an airplane is naturally far greater than that of a warship. Soon, with the sound of "Target spotted!" in the headset, the warships of Wuthering Heights appeared in Zhu Xiaoping's field of vision one after another.

"You're hugging me so tightly." Zhu Xiaoping said to himself.

As the aircraft carriers of both sides lit up their vision and the fleets of both sides gradually approached, the powerful sound of artillery sounded one after another like rhythmic music, and the encounter between large ships and huge artillery officially began.

At the same time, Zhu Xiaoping's torpedo planes no longer cruised around the edge of the battlefield, but swooped down towards the nearest destroyer.

This destroyer served as the pioneer in the Howling Attack on Point A and charged in the front.

Suddenly, all the anti-aircraft firepower on the destroyer roared at the same time, and the black cloud produced by the rain of bullets and the explosion of anti-aircraft shells lingered around Zhu Xiaoping's plane.

However, with Zhu Xiaoping's precise operation, almost all the high-damage black clouds were avoided. He was not too greedy and dropped a torpedo at a distance from the destroyer, and then left without hesitation.

The destroyer immediately evaded at a large angle. Thanks to its excellent maneuverability and Zhu Xiaoping's relatively conservative torpedo throwing, he managed to avoid the torpedo without any danger.

However, precisely because of the evasive action, the destroyer's forward momentum was blocked.

"Opportunity!" As the Howling destroyer's offensive was blocked, the Black Sea Fleet's destroyers immediately seized the opportunity and rushed into the target point.

The smoke generator started up, and thick smoke instantly blurred everything near the target point. The Howling destroyer had no way of attacking the destroyer hidden in the smoke.

"It seems that there is not much improvement." Seeing that the first wave of harassment helped his team gain a certain advantage, Zhu Xiaoping shook his head and turned the plane to kill another target.

In order to target Zhu Xiaoping, Howling placed too heavy a bet on air defense, resulting in limited consumables for surface ships. For a while, facing the frontal offensive of the Black Sea Fleet, it was unable to find a way to break through.

Yes, but in just three days, how could we find a way to target aircraft carriers and maintain combat effectiveness?

Next, Zhu Xiaoping once again showed everyone in the Howling Team what a top jungler is.

Torpedo planes suppress movement and destroy formations, while rocket planes and bombers bombard indiscriminately and deliver heavy damage.

With his outstanding skills and awareness, the extremely difficult Red Baron was transformed into the god of war who once galloped across the sky in his hands.

It carries out one strategic goal after another with an efficiency far higher than that of the aircraft carriers of the Howling Party.

With his full efforts, the first wave of Howling's attack was soon suppressed, and he was forced to change his strategy and move forward.

The situation was very good, but Zhu Xiaoping was not very happy. Instead, he became more and more nervous.

until--

"Brother Feng! I've been marked by the submarine's sonar!" A report from a Black Sea Fleet player came through the headset.

Although being marked by sonar is a risky thing, the player's tone was full of excitement and joy.

As soon as these words were uttered, the entire Black Sea Fleet began to cheer.

Long before the game, Zhu Xiaoping analyzed all the tactics that Howling might use, including Fang Rui's possible moves.

For this master of the dirty tricks, the most reliable type of ship is naturally the submarine, which is known as the underwater villain and has extremely strong concealment.

As long as the submarine does not show up, Fang Rui will be like a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Black Sea Fleet, which may burst down at any time and blow the Black Sea Fleet to pieces.

But now, this sword, which would have made a great impact if it did not make a sound, opened fire on the non-core battleships in the Black Sea Fleet. Not only did it expose its approximate position, but it also directly dispelled the tension of Zhu Xiaoping in the rear.

"The situation on the front line is too bad, so we have no choice but to relieve the pressure?" Zhu Xiaoping felt excited when he thought of Fang Rui being forced to change his plan under his all-round offensive.

He didn't even need to remind them. All the anti-submarine equipment of the Black Sea Fleet that could affect that sea area was put into operation. The overwhelming anti-submarine aircraft dropped tons of depth charges, vowing to blow Fang Rui upside down.

However, the howling submarine was also very alert and did not expose its specific vision. Although it was forced to retreat under the suppression of saturation washing, it did not lose its life.

"I am dying of laughter. This All-Star Glory seems to be just like this!"

"That's right, he's much worse than Brother Feng!"

"Today is another day of crushing and howling!"

In the internal voice of the Black Sea Fleet, some members have already started to open champagne.

The tactical advantage they had gained on the front line, as well as the fact that the opponent's submarine assassination tactics that the captain had repeatedly reminded them of before the game had been blocked, made them clearly feel the approach of the goddess of victory.

Amidst the laughter and cheers, only Zhu Xiaoping himself continued to operate the plane to bomb indiscriminately with a frown on his face.

After the initial excitement, he calmed down and quickly realized something was wrong.

Fang Rui's move was a bit too rash.

Although the health of Howling's side is currently at a clear disadvantage, there has been no casualties after all, and one of the three target points for obtaining points is still in Howling's hands.

The dirty style is about keeping calm, being able to endure loneliness, and never taking action until the critical moment.

It is definitely not Fang Rui's style to appear on the front battlefield in a hurry at this time.

Unless... the driver of this submarine is not Fang Rui!

Zhu Xiaoping was horrified when he realized this, and immediately began to count the number of enemies on the small map.

Including the submarines in the middle of the battlefield, there are a total of... eleven!
The missing ship is... the destroyer Shimakaze!

Zhu Xiaoping broke out in a cold sweat.

I was too excited about the game before, and focused too much on suppressing the front battlefield and targeting the submarine "Fang Rui", so I forgot about this ancestor!
In a game where there are aircraft carriers and the aircraft carriers are very strong, the appearance of Shimakaze is undoubtedly abrupt.

As a Japanese destroyer, it has a fragile body and poor air defense, and does not have an advantage in such a game.

This is indeed the case. In the previous battle, although Shimakaze relied on his mobility and concealment to rush forward and seize the point twice, he was quickly pushed out of the target point by Zhu Xiaoping and his own expulsion.

As for finding an opportunity to torpedo the large ships of the Black Sea Fleet at close range, there was no chance of that happening.

Under such suppression, Shimakaze's biggest role is to follow the main force, scatter rays to block their movement, pull smoke to protect their vision, and complete himself as an auxiliary.

Or... go to the sideline, go around, and as the sharpest assassin, use the most terrifying torpedo in the game to destroy the enemy's aircraft carrier in one wave!

Zhu Xiaoping's hair stood on end all over his body and goose bumps quickly appeared on the surface of his skin.

Without hesitation, he controlled the Red Baron, who was hiding at the back of the battlefield, and moved towards the center of the battlefield where artillery fire was flying.

At the same time, he shouted in the voice chat: "Watch out for Shimakaze! Shimakaze is circling behind us!"

The members of the Black Sea Fleet, who were still immersed in the joy of impending victory, were stunned by Zhu Xiaoping's shout.

"Brother Feng, given the situation, does he still dare to go around?" someone asked tentatively.

“Isn’t this nonsense? How many Shimakaze became gods thanks to a single battle with the Desperate Thunder aircraft carrier? Not to mention that this Shimakaze is most likely Fang Rui!”

While replying, Zhu Xiaoping maneuvered the plane to quickly return to defense, searching for the possible presence of Shimakaze in the open sea area behind.

Finally, after walking around for several times, Zhu Xiaoping found the shadow of Shimafeng who was advancing cautiously behind the shadow of a hill.

The moment Shimakaze's location was marked on the map, all the arrogant celebrations of the Black Sea people came to an abrupt halt as if their throats were strangled.

Shimakaze made a big circle and, despite being at a clear disadvantage in vision, he still evaded the tight defense of Zhu Xiaoping and the Black Sea Fleet and broke through to the rear of the Black Sea.

His location was only eleven kilometers away from Zhu Xiaoping's Red Baron after his transfer. This distance was already within the Red Baron's hiding circle and was enough to detect the Red Baron's location.

This was the result of Zhu Xiaoping noticing it in advance and moving forward.

If not, then Shimakaze's location is less than five kilometers away from Zhu Xiaoping's body.

At this position, as long as Shimakaze sets off a mine, Zhu Xiaoping will die!
Rarely, Zhu Xiaoping's hands holding the keyboard and mouse trembled.

This is Fang Rui, the number one master of the dirty style.

In such a desperate situation, they still deceived everyone's vision and arrived near the heart of the Black Sea Fleet.

Just one step away from striking that fatal sword.

It’s a pity... I was a step too slow.

Zhu Xiaoping noticed it in advance and moved forward.

It was eleven kilometers away and already exposed, so the island wind was no longer a threat.

"Boom boom boom——!"

After a brief rotation, the Black Sea Fleet's artillery fire suddenly rang out as if to vent its anger. Countless deadly shells were fired from all directions towards the fragile Shimakaze with strong murderous intent.

Shimakaze only had time to throw down a long-range mine at the last moment before being engulfed by the steel meteor shower.

However, even if a torpedo was dropped, Zhu Xiaoping, who was 11 kilometers away, would have ample opportunity to dodge it.

In this game of tactics and psychology, he won in the end!
Zhu Xiaoping, feeling relieved, sneered and let out a sigh of relief.

Fang Rui, you are worthy of being the number one thief in the alliance.

It’s a pity that this is World of Warships, not Glory!

I, Zhu Xiaoping, am the master of the battlefield here!
But the extremely excited Zhu Xiaoping seemed to have overlooked one thing.

In order to avoid Shimakaze's attack from behind, his position seemed to be a little too forward.

"Brother Feng! Retreat quickly!" The scream in the headset shattered Zhu Xiaoping's beautiful dream of overturning the howling beast.

"A 30-knot cloud of smoke is coming up!"

　The first update is 4,000 words, and there will be more later.

　　Don't worry

　　Monthly call ticket.

　　I won’t write a long story about World of Warships. After all, it’s just a small side quest, to give everyone a try and change the taste.

　　Due to consideration for the perceptions of most readers, the author has tried to make the naval battle as popular as possible.

　　I guess it will look funny to real veteran players, so please bear with me and I will change it if you point it out.

　　After this chapter on the specific scenes is written, they will not appear in the short term.

　　So don't jump, please.
