Chapter 263 The Atago sinks!
In the sky, the Northern Air Force returned to the battlefield after the initial panic, set the bombing target on the smoke-filled hillside, launched a ferocious attack on the exposed air defense positions, and attacked the frontier mountains where there might be ambushes and hidden fortifications.
Bombing and strafing.
The Southern Air Force circled back and launched attacks on important facilities such as the smoking lighthouse and the oil depot on the hillside behind it. This caused a tenacious blockade by anti-aircraft fire from the civil war ships hidden behind and in the naval port, and they were unable to advance even an inch.
"That's all the defense power of the Chinese people is like this." Yoshida Zengo murmured to himself, his eyes becoming sharper.
The Langyashan fort was abandoned, and the fleet was able to slowly approach the front of the coast, so that the artillery shells could be fired directly at the opponent's key command structures and anti-aircraft fire hidden behind the hillside, as well as the fleet that he chased all the way without killing it. Although the breakwater was high, it was
The figures of those warships cannot be blocked, the half of the bridge exposed from behind the high stone wall, and the gun barrels that are spitting out anti-aircraft ammunition are all constantly stimulating Yoshida Zengo's nerves. Just in time, I will wipe you out together this time.
!
At the critical moment, we have to rely on the battleship's giant cannon to end everything!
Zengo Yoshida's cheeks were shiny, he waved his hand forward vigorously and shouted: "Everyone fire!"
"boom-!"
The four heavy cruisers, together with the two old-fashioned armored cruisers "Jiban" and "Yakumo" who were reinforced from the north, opened fire with a total of 48 20bn naval guns. A roar that broke out within five seconds shook an area of more than ten people in an instant.
The Caspian Sea is emptied of sound waves!
The six large warships moved several meters together, and the roaring storm from the muzzle erupted the dense smoke into blazing fireballs with a diameter of more than ten meters. The sea breeze quickly covered most of the warships, and 48 135-kilogram shells were fired.
It let out a deafening roar, suppressing the roar of hundreds of fighter planes in the sky, spanning 23 kilometers of sky and clear water, and speeding towards the mountains and ports where fireworks continued to rise!
In the underground command hall, on the holographic screen, the forty-eight ballistic arcs of the artillery fired by the Japanese warships were accurately marked in less than a second. Zhu Bin only glanced at it and found that there was no important target at the impact point.
on, he breathed a sigh of relief, pumped his fist vigorously and shouted: "Fire!"
A thick billow of smoke erupted from the fort hidden on the mountainside, followed by an earth-shattering explosion that swept across the entire military port. Dozens of smoke pillars shot out by aerial bombs were all blown away by the muzzle storm in an instant. 6 300
The kilogram-weight 280nm armor-piercing projectiles were arranged in a diagonal line with a launch error of only a few milliseconds, and rushed towards the Japanese heavy cruiser swimming slowly on the sea!
The mutual interference between the muzzles of the triple turret is effectively reduced by the electronic slowdown equipment. The dispersion area between the three shells does not exceed 300 yards. Even if they fly 23 kilometers away, they can be accurately limited to a calibrated area!
"Boom!" "Boom!"
Two explosions exploded at two ends more than 20 kilometers apart. The Japanese artillery shells fired first spread over an area of two kilometers. The farthest group almost hit the research center on the south side of the military base, and the explosions swept across the area.
The fire shrapnel storm in an area of 150 meters in diameter cut off the carefully planted pine and cypress plants in the middle and roughly tore them into pieces. Each fire head immediately splashed out!
Seventy-eight rounds hit the 30-meter-thick reinforced concrete structure of the breakwater. The embankment, which is entirely made of boulders with a diameter of 23 meters and weighing 30 to 40 tons, is unimaginably strong. The thick concrete pouring blocks on the surface will
The high-explosive shells stubbornly blocked it, only to blast a shockingly large hole. The entire embankment was as stable as Mount Tai!
More than a dozen artillery shells blasted into the wide military port, and one even almost hit the cave under the camouflage of the light curtain. The booming water column was almost higher than the top of the mountain, and the waves set off spread across a 500-meter-wide area.
There was a turbulence back and forth between the long piers, and the waves sprayed seven or eight meters high! But all the warships parked behind were safe and sound!
The rest of the shells were concentrated on the front of the mountain and exploded violently, shaking the mountain and the earth. The whole mountain seemed to be shaking. The dense explosion of fireworks covered the entire mountain in an instant. The nearest explosion point was right there.
On the partition wall of the global defense base at the bottom, the fierce shock wave directly tore the weak wall into a huge gap more than 20 meters wide, and all the glass in the nearby buildings burst into pieces!
Without waiting to see the shooting results, Yoshida Zengo used a 120nm large-diameter telescope from the high bridge to spot the launch from the opposite mountain. He was about to sneer disdainfully and laugh at the opponent's enhanced range of only 22 kilometers, and then
I was choked by a few strange turbulent air currents!
"No! These are not the artillery fired originally! The Chinese have other large-caliber shore defense firepower!"
He had clearly seen the PA turret and the 1m coastal defense cannon that had been exposed earlier. Both of these artillery barrels were not long enough and the range was far from enough to threaten the warship. That's why he dared to get so close, but his judgment was obvious.
It’s all wrong! These damn guys still have a hand up to this day!
In the mountain command hall, Zhu Bin's smile was particularly ferocious. He had worked hard just to vent at this moment, so he left the mountainside 280nwr triple turret with a maximum range of nearly 40 kilometers for the last four 5mm old ships.
The cannon has always played its true role, and a dozen 150nnm
NSKC/28 is deliberately compressed to a range of less than 22 kilometers. Compared with the original version of 23 kilometers, it is already hidden a little bit. After laser hardening and chrome plating, it can tolerate a higher intensity charge. What was launched this time was
The version with a strong charge has a range that has been increased to 27 kilometers!
Six 280nm cannons, 2 PN cannons, and 12 15nm cannons were all aimed at a target area. Just a few seconds after the Japanese artillery shells hit the head, they blasted into a one square kilometer area. Unfortunately,
The heavy cruiser "Atago" is cruising inside!
"Boom!" Dense explosions swept across the entire sea. Zengo Yoshida saw with helpless eyes that the world's most powerful heavy cruiser "Atago", which had just been launched and had been in service for less than two years, was submerged in a jungle of water columns rising hundreds of meters into the sky.
Among!
"Don't do it!" Zengo Yoshida almost crushed the telescope, shouting silently in his heart! Seeing the largest water pillars slightly far away from the battleship, he just missed the sound of Amaterasu's care, and suddenly heard several unusual sounds.
There was an explosion, and I could vaguely see the "Atago" jumping up strangely!
Immediately afterwards, two huge groups of flames with a diameter of hundreds of meters roared and rose on the sea. The overweight bridge of the "Atago" tore from the middle in all directions with an unstoppable wild momentum, shattered, and flew away.
shoot!
Then another ball of fire erupted from under the main mast at the back. The simple four-cornered iron tower was completely uprooted. After flying tens of meters, it disintegrated in the air and turned into hundreds of steel parts. It fell towards the sea hundreds of meters in all directions, and it was next to
The weak upper deck of the No. 4 turret was directly penetrated. One nm shell passed through several thin structures below, plunged into the ammunition depot that was too high, stayed quietly for about two or three seconds, and exploded with a bang.
!
Hundreds of 2bnaun shells piled inside exploded together with propellant. The huge explosion caused the entire heavy cruiser, which had a displacement of more than 10,000 tons and a weight of more than 1 ton, to jump several meters high, and then a violent explosion suddenly occurred from the rear.
, No. 4 and No. 5 are two piggy-back constructions.
The turret first flew more than a hundred meters, disintegrating in the air with a sudden crash, and then the slender hull keel broke in the middle. The rear half was blasted by the explosion that followed and fled the main body. The front half
The propelled acceleration caused large waves to surge up to the bow of the ship!
The captain and a group of senior officers on the command tower barely endured the pain of losing the giant ship. They were directly hit in the middle by a PA high-explosive bomb and sent back to Kudanzaka. The bloated and majestic bridge of the world's largest ship was blown open.
The upper half of the large hole, which was seven or eight meters in diameter, including the command room tower, flew into the sky. The mast next to it was twisted out of shape, crookedly broken, and hit the top of the chimney behind!
"Impossible!" Yoshida Zengo tried his best to reach out of the watchtower with half of his body, his eyes almost popped out, and he let out a heart-rending scream!
How can there be such a thing! The bombardment of naval giant cannons often does not have any effect for half an hour. Those who can actually hit the target with a few rounds at a range of 20 kilometers are considered lucky. But why is the opponent just a Qi?
If you shoot, you can hit and directly sink the powerful "Atago"! What kind of cannon did they use, and how did they do it?!
Even if the coastal defense artillery is stable enough, these are large-caliber shells. Whether they can hit the target after being fired depends on luck. Is the opponent's luck so good that he has been blessed by the gods of all parties?! I did not disturb Mount Putuo
Guanyin Bodhisattva!
"Your Excellency, Commander! Please order the fleet to retreat immediately. The range of the Chinese forts exceeds our estimate!" The subordinates next to him looked a little stupid when they saw him, and hurriedly tried to persuade him loudly.
"Yes! Yes! Order the fleet to speed up the breakaway and withdraw to a distance of 30 kilometers!" Yoshida Zengo has spent his whole life on the sea. He quickly calmed down and immediately chose the wisest thing to do.
However, it is easier said than done! In order to ensure the continuity and accuracy of shooting, the fleet is advancing slowly at a low speed. If you want to speed up now, it will take time! But this is the most critical time!
The firing rate of the German-made 28cmskc turret and the American-made 305nm turret is 2753 rounds per minute, but the firing interval of the 150mm skc is only 75 seconds, which is enough to fire 8 rounds in one minute! It was only Yoshida Zengo who saw clearly that the "Atago" was fatally injured
When it was hit hard, the second round came as expected!
These single-seat turrets, which are intensively used by intelligent radar fire control units, have higher shooting accuracy! When more than a dozen turrets were fired at the same time, they still produced a uniformly distributed calibrated killing area, and the "Atago", which was still drifting slowly, encountered violent re-fire.
, before the soldiers who were struggling half-dead in confusion on the sea realized what was going on, they were blown up by the shells falling from the sky and died in pieces!--
