Patrol boat Shikishima

"The Holy Military Empire and the enemy ships are in a melee battle. I will slip through the straits and leave the battlefield now!"

The Coast Guard patrol ship Shikishima's captain, Seto, flies to each member.

Fear of passing by the immediate vicinity of Yamato-class battleships, each member keeps fighting with fear of death.

"Go to the left at maximum speed! You'll get through at once!"

The patrol boat Shishishima speeds up and proceeds.

Gura Barkas Empire Super Dreadnought Battleship Grade Atlas Star

The battleship pushes away the seawater with a huge body, breaks the sea, and advances.

Three 46cm guns are installed in three places, and the nine guns keep firing shells of unprecedented power in this world.

A heavy ship, with a castle-like bridge towering in the center, and a triple-armed high-angle gun facing the sky is installed like a hedgehog.

Captain Luxtal gazes at the sea on the bridge of this battleship, the strongest in the previous world and now in the world.

"Was it sinking in one shot?"

The captain speaks to the deputy commander.

"Yes, the main gun ... the 46cm gun is powerful. The engagement distance is just over a dozen kilometers, so it's easy to hit shells."

It is said that the power of a gun is proportional to the cube of its caliber.

While speaking, the enemy ship again smoked, and the landed ship appeared to be sinking in half with a fiery flame.

"When I landed an enemy bullet earlier, I was a little chilled, but the damage was only scratches, not even dents."

"After all, it's an unsinkable ship."

Along with the roaring sound, a large ammunition is fired from the turret of 45cm in diameter and a 46cm3 turret aimed by the radar.

The main gun, which has a maximum range of 40 km, fires at an enemy who deploys at a relatively short distance of about 10 km.

"The enemy hits the Millitorial cruiser!"

Black smoke rises from the enemy and the speed of the ship decreases.

"Do you want to beat that ...?"

At a distance from the Holy Military Empire, you can see a white-painted ship that looks like a battlefield.

She was a Japanese cruiser, who had just been asked by a woman named Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sieria, to destroy her with diplomatic considerations.

It seems that you are about to leave the vehicle from the direction of travel.

"Well, will you attack a white cruiser as instructed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Eastern Division?"

The white cruiser behind the old ship accelerated out.

"It's a ship from Japan that was instructed by Mr. Sieria. It's a migrant nation, like ours. According to previous information, it seems that the caliber of the gun is extremely small."

The deputy director looks at the binoculars and mutters.

"Aerial combat seemed to be prominent, but the guns were so small ... I guess they've moved away from a peaceful world."

"Okay! Use the rear gun and secondary gun, and start approaching within 7km of the attack! Until then, attack the high threat ship of the Holy Military Empire !!"

"Roger that!!"

Captain Luxtal gives instructions.

Patrol boat Shikishima

"It would be impossible to not notice, but let me go!"

From the movement of the ship, you will probably understand that you are about to leave ...

Captain Seto glares at the enemy ship with thought.

The maximum ship speed is 25 knots, the sound of the engine is loud, but it seems that the ship seems to be hard to move. Although it is a short time, the experience time that can be felt forever in Seto has passed.

"The rear gun and secondary gun of the enemy ship are turning towards us !!"

Subordinate reports loudly.

"What !!!! Lots of rudders!"

The steer steers to the right with quick movements.

At the moment when the huge ship starts to move to the right, enemy ships emit large smoke.

"Enemy ship firing !!"

The patrol ship Shikishima turns to the right slowly enough to make you irritated.

The front of the Shikishima makes a wind noise, and the shells pass through. A large number of shells passing forward land on the seawater in front of the ship, raising a large water column.

"Nuu !!!!!"

The water column rises far above his assumed altitude above sea level.

"It would be dangerous if you did not steer!"

Cold sweat.

"Keep shooting at enemy ships with full firepower! Don't worry about the remaining ammo! If you eat even one shot, you're done!"

Seto barks.

Distance to enemy ship 5km-

The enemy has been aiming for artillery here as well, engaging the Holy Military Fleet.

The Oerlikon 35mm twin cannon and 20mm cannon at Shikishima are aimed at enemy battleships.

The Coast Guard's largest patrol ship, Shikishima, which can be said to be an unusual force as a maritime police organization, directs all available firepower towards a super-dreadnought battleship grade atlas star.

Before the enemy made the second shot, he had to make an attack here as well.

"Full firepower, ready to fire!"

"Starting legitimate defense shooting !!!!"

A light sound is emitted, and shooting is started with a lightning bullet. A series of light shots fired in a parabola, heading for an enemy battleship and flying.

The bullet that landed on the enemy is repelled by heavy armor with a loud metal sound, and the towed bullet that landed flies in the direction of the day after tomorrow.

"Hit! Hit!"

Subordinate reports loudly.

"Continue shooting! Don't give the enemy a gap!"

The patrol ship Shikishima continued to fire.

Super Dreadnought Battleship Grade Atlas Star

Small caliber ammunition has been hit continuously since the beginning, but all were rebounded by thick armor.

"The third high-angle gun destroyed on starboard !!"

"The 5th boat wreck on starboard !!"

Although the ship itself is not damaged, reports of damage are gradually being raised from weakly armored upper structures. Japanese ships appear to be firing small caliber guns in alternation, with no interruption in the barrage.

On the bridge, an eerie metal sound resounds and makes people inside the ship uncomfortable.

"The attack on the Japanese ship is too clever. Suspend the attack on the military ship and direct all the firepower to that Japanese ship!"

"Yes, I use the main gun. Ready to fire the main gun!

The armor that penetrates the armor of the battleship is loaded.

The three twin guns mounted on the battleship slowly turn to Japanese ships.

"Distance 5km, Right 55 ° Elevation 13 °, Ready for gun firing!"

"Tee !!"

Along with the roaring sound, a shell that was as tall as a human was shot.

Patrol boat Shikishima

The enemy fires the gun again.

The patrol boat has been turning right and left since the beginning, and it is difficult to get away from the enemy, and the impatience spreads.

The attack from here is as expected, but almost ineffective.

Suddenly, a dull metal sound resounds on the ship.

Seto looks back at the direction of the metal sound.

"Well ..."

Stunned.

Holes with a diameter of about 70 cm are opened in the upper and lower parts of the bridge.

Looking at the hole below, you can see the sea.

Fortunately, the angle was shallow, and the hole was above the waterline, so it seemed that there was no hindrance to the ship's navigation.

"I pierced ... I was saved because nobody was there."

Two main shells hit the patrol ship Shikishima, but both penetrated the ship.

If they were exploding, they were flying away. Despite the fear, they continued to attack.

Battleship Grade Atlas Star

"Why! It must have hit now !!"

Captain Luxtal shouts.

"Maybe ... Captain, maybe the armor of a Japanese ship might be much thinner than we think, or the gun would not have hit and exploded. , Suggesting a normal ammunition and a secondary artillery attack. "

"Um, I understand."

The battleship switched the ammunition type to standard ammunition.

Patrol boat Shikishima

They continue to attack, but the members' hearts are terrified by the stiffness of the enemy, which appears to have no effect.

The cruiser of the Holy Military Empire appears to have had few hits from the very beginning.

Mu's ships also began to fire, but their fleet, which had lost its firepower due to attacks from the air, was unable to fire effective ammunition.

"Enemy, all guns turn here!"

The heavy rotating turret of the enemy battleship slowly turns here. The secondary guns at the front and rear also point the turret at this point.

A total of 15 guns, 9 guns and 6 secondary guns, fire at almost the same time to increase salvo rate.

Light ran on the bridge in the center of the patrol ship Shikishima.

The main shell fired by the Battleship Grade Atlaser, a 46 cm shell weighing 1360 kg, hit the bridge of the patrol ship Shikishima directly, the fuze was activated inside, igniting the 61.7 kg high-performance gunpowder built in the shell, its power Is released.

Explosion pressure spreads in all directions, eventually blowing off the upper ceiling and penetrating upwards.

The explosive pressure that could not be settled even after blowing off the bridge caused a huge flame column to appear at the top of the Shikishima.

The ship cannot withstand the power of artillery fire, and breaks in half and sinks.

The surviving members jump into the sea.

The Super Dreadnought Battleship Grade Atlaser, belonging to the Imperial Audit Army of Gura Barkas, opened all guns and attacked the Japan Coast Guard patrol ship, Shikishima, and sank the ship.

In the battle, 100 people under the captain Seto died, and 30 people drifted in the sea.

"Destroy the Japanese cruiser!"

"Japanese cruisers are fragile ... armor is like paper.

The gun is a small caliber gun, and the ship speed is much slower than ours. The design philosophy has not been done. Is there such a difference even if it is the same transposition state? "

In front of you, the captain murmurs at a Japanese ship that is exploding and sinking.

"Looking at such a piece of paper armor, it may be that the large caliber artillery did not develop, and it must have been a peaceful world. Our weapons, polished in war and polished, It may be inevitable that the performance will be uneven.

However, anti-aircraft combat was impressive. With a tremendous hit rate, my dive bombers and torpedo bombers have been shot down by that ship.

If you look at the anecdote that the fleet prevented the wavy attack of Woburn in the Kingdom of Louria, the credibility will increase if you look at that. "

"A battleship will be more useful than an aircraft carrier when policing Japan. Well, that's more convenient for us battleships."

"Yes, but I was a little worried about the status of the transition country, but I was a little relieved because the cruiser's level was that much.

Let's report to Miss Sieria of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the battle. "

"Well then ..."

Captain Luxtal looks at the battlefield.

The Holy Military cruiser has already sunk five out of eight ships, including air strikes and battleships, and the remaining three are burning.

With the disappearance of Japan, the enemy's anti-aircraft fighting ability declined sharply, and even if left alone, it was almost destroyed by air attacks.

"Would you like to clear Zako and work?"

Captain Laxtal smiled at the battlefield.
