Chapter 197 Destroy the Matsushima! 4
"If this continues, Zhenyuan will be finished!"
Yang Hao, who could not get involved in the battle, could only watch from a distance, and could not help the Beiyang soldiers drowned in the overwhelming explosion.
But he couldn't sit idly by and grabbed the radio and called Yang Haiwei: "Dad, you have to think of some solutions! You can't let those two ships sink!"
Yang Haiwei's calm voice came: "Don't worry, I know it. With the Japanese army's firepower, it will not sink two iron armored ships!"
Yang Hao could only choose to believe what he said. No matter what, as far as the Navy is concerned, Yang Haiwei is a professional and has the right to speak.
Can Yang Haiwei sit down and see that the two ships in Dingzhen are beaten and fight back? Of course not. They take such a big risk and hold the only armed family background. Of course, they will not let the two iron armored ships that they have to be included in the account be tortured and sank.
Not long after answering Yang Hao, Yang Haiwei fired the naval cannon that had been aiming for a while again. This time, he aimed at the "Sina Speed" that was closest to him and had the most fierce firepower!
It is still a sudden attack ten kilometers away. In the stable hull posture, the double guarantee accuracy of radar and optical ranging is achieved, and the computer controls the firing device to ensure a sudden attack on the best elements!
"Sina Speed", which was crazily pouring out shells, suddenly shook all over his body, and a ball of fire rose into the air from behind the commander tower!
A 152mm armor-piercing bomb penetrated from the top of the deck, tearing open the surface armor and smashing it into the lower layer like a broken bamboo. The subsequent explosion destroyed a 152mm gun, and the fireworks fragments blasted upwards filled half of the area.
Before they could react, another armor-piercing ejection followed. This time, it was a typical small boat carrying cannons, which led to the problem of insufficient armor in the rest of the other parts except the commander tower. At this moment, it became the most terrible shooting!
The terrible power of being able to penetrate 127mm uniform steel armor from 9300 meters away. It is too easy to deal with the steel-surface armor these days. The explosion close to the waterline tear opens the large hole of the black dust, and at the same time, destroying several cabins near this side, killing many people.
The "Sina Speed" running posture quickly became tilted with the flooding, and the cannons on this side were greatly affected. They had to temporarily calm down and quickly maneuvered to the right side to avoid it.
That is, when he had just turned around, another armor-piercing bomb hit the back, but it penetrated horizontal armor. It blowed up a boiler, which dragged the followers to strike together. The hot steam and red charcoal swept across the power compartment with the flying impact air waves, and immediately reduced the output power of its main engine by more than one-third.
The rising smoke swallowed most of the "Sina Speed". Chilean mercenaries were unable to work hard. They used all their abilities to drive warships and fled wildly, and rushed to chase the "Bridgeli" from the right.
"Akijinsu" who had already rushed to the front was in full swing, but he didn't expect someone to sell his teammates later?
When the next shell arrived, it exploded on one side of its hull, and the fragments hit the shell hard. They almost broke the rudder, and then they suddenly remembered that there was a killer behind him who must not be ignored.
The feeling of this thorn on the back is really unpleasant!
"Akitsu" who participated in the pursuit yesterday knew best how difficult that enemy ship was. The last guerrilla attack was destroyed by it. Now he fired cold cannons behind him and was still shooting so accurately, it was simply intolerable!
It’s useless to not be able to bear it. They can no longer get out of it because at this time, the “Dingyuan”, which was not too seriously injured, was about to rush forward!
The Zhenyuan, covered with fire, looked like the entire ship was burning from a distance. In the thick armored shell, the power system was basically intact. All the personnel braved the temperature of being cooked and tried hard to ensure operation, driving the warships to run along a fixed route. They were no longer able to fight for the time being.
The Dingyuan finally contacted the enemy ship. It was a pity that he could not continue to bombard the "Hequan" with the main gun on the left, so he used all his strength to the "Songdao" that followed closely.
The Songdao, which turned a corner and then returned, resumed its course and continued to spray shells vigorously with the secondary gun. It formed a 110-degree oblique angle with the Beiyang Fleet, almost aiming its neck at "Dingyuan". The advantage is that it can fully utilize the rapid-fire gun on its side. The disadvantage is that it must face the bombardment of two heavy guns!
Previously, Captain Sadashi Nomura thought the other party would use the main gun to deal with its flagship, so for at least three or four minutes, the other party would only be able to use a 152mm low-speed artillery with a very small threat to strike. Not to mention whether it can aim, even if the iron armor-piercing bomb comes over, there is no need to be afraid.
But he could not have imagined that Liu Buchan had almost made a desperate attempt to weaken the power of the Japanese ship as much as possible. Since the "Hequan" was maneuvering and missed the best attack window, then the main gun that could not be moved would catch whoever it was!
So, the Songdao, which had hit hundreds of shells from all kinds of shells head-on. Seeing that the fire was lit by the other party, he continued to detour to the left with great confidence, preparing to have a full baptism from the side.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, two 305mm cannons exploded!
"boom!"
A shell was shot from the back of the Songdo Island side and hit the top of the ship's side into the lower layer! The shell almost hit the base of the 320mm heavy artillery behind it, smashing the shell hard! The subsequent big explosion caused a huge amount of fired medicine piled inside!
On the fierce battle of the sea, a loud noise of the sky and the earth suddenly broke through, overwhelming all the roar!
Many people saw an unprecedented flash of flames burst violently from the center of the battlefield! Immediately afterwards, the front half of the "Songdao" hull suddenly rushed forward, as if it was pushed hard by someone. But the second half was instantly blown into millions of pieces, and with a ball of violent fireworks with a diameter of hundreds of meters, it flew out in all directions several kilometers away!
The most exaggerated thing is the 320mm cannon, which caused no launch in a practical battle. It was pushed by the air waves and flew dozens of meters high, rolling all the way, smashing into the sea less than a hundred meters away from the "Chiona" behind!
The power of this half-ship explosion is so scary!
On the "Hequan" not far away in front, you can even feel the huge oppression that was suddenly pushed by the air, making people breathless.
The hot air waves followed were mixed with countless wood, steel, scattered corpses, and messy pieces, falling all over the deck like rain.
Yuyuki Ito turned his head and looked at it, his face seemed to be punched in front of him, and it was particularly pale!
"Iron armored ship! Heavy artillery! Terrible power!"
He murmured, and once again felt extremely upset. When they were about to build the Three Scenery Ship, why didn't they try their best to concentrate all their funds to build a powerful main ship?
Perhaps the opponent's fire rate is too slow in four minutes in the battle. But as long as the thick armor resists it, it can determine the victory or defeat of life and death! Such efforts are worth it!
In the Sanjing Ship who could not see the tune... he could only sigh helplessly.
Somehow, a wave of despair and fear suddenly surged into his heart. Yuki Ito sadly discovered that it was almost impossible to win this battle. Three main battleships and an auxiliary ship carrying the military director were sunk, and none of them sank. Such an exchange ratio was helpless.
Could it be that the tactic of prioritizing the ironclad ships that began to be formulated is wrong?
No! You must not just admit defeat! Especially now, if one ironclad ship on the other side has lost its combat effectiveness and the other has been shot and cannot threaten the ship for at least four or five minutes, seizing the opportunity and attacking fiercely is the most important thing!
Yuki Ito also took his leave and ordered the banner of continuing to attack with the left-handed maneuver.
The main gun on the port and stern of the "Hequan" opened fire at the same time, hitting the deck of "Dingyuan" with a grenade. The explosion caused the small cannon on that side to stop, and the strips on the outside made the front chimney a colander. Then, the cannon aimed at the "Jingyuan" that followed closely behind and opened fire frantically!
In the rear, including the fleeing "Sina Su" and "Akizushi", all Japanese ships completed their turn and passed the "Dingyuan" and were a high-explosive grenade, which immediately bombarded the hull behind them.
Although the armor of "Jingyuan" is quite heavy, it cannot withstand the 240mm gun of the "Hequan". It was bombarded with a piercing shell and the waterline armor was blown away by its armor-piercing shell. The breaking water caused the speed to slow down and the hull tilted. Immediately, hundreds of shots were hit by continuous shells, and the fire was raging and spreading everywhere! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
