Chapter 487 Battleship Showdown (3)

A reconnaissance plane rushed down from a high altitude with courage. The pilot controlled the fighter to face the crooked commander tower sideways, holding a German Zeiss camera in his hand, and a "click" flashed and took a close-up photo of Yamaguchi Duowen who was lying in the command room window staring at the one-eyed look out.

Soon after, this photo was sold at a sky-high price. The authorized usage fee for newspapers around the world alone made this guy earn enough money to buy a villa...

"The Japanese are very good at fighting! They refuse to give up after all their virtues. As expected, they are a world-class strong army. Although they are a bit boasting, they have 80% real materials."

As the main attacker, Wang Wenda drove the battleship "Tarshan" and rushed to the forefront. Most of the shells hitting the "Ise" came from his car. So far, he has rushed to less than 12 kilometers. It is already quite dangerous for battleships to shoot. Even in the combat regulations of the fleet, it is not allowed to be too tight. He is obviously a bit of a violation of discipline.

But here, Chen Shaokuan had no time to care about him. Zhu Bin couldn't see it, so he naturally set off a sheep and stuffed the warship so close. Not only could the nine main guns maximize the precise shooting, but even the double-equipped 127m secondary gun could easily reach the target. The shells that rushed to the "Ise" suddenly became dense, and the hit rate increased from more than 10% more than 20 kilometers away to more than 30%. Even if a single turret fired, it could reach 50%!

This is no different from machine gun sniping! The main gun supported by intelligent fire control system even calculates the slight wave shaking and the small deviation of the shooting stability system. The shells are shot out with a stable and straight ballistic trajectory. Almost every shot can fall within a target diameter of 300 meters, and explode. For enemy ships, almost every shot will cause damage!

Within five minutes, the Taishan was hitting nine rounds in a row, hitting 22 rounds, making the Ise out of a row of holes from beginning to end. With the strike of the secondary gun, the bridge commander tower was first swept, followed by two turrets of the chimney and the rear deck. The secondary gun, anti-aircraft gun, and a side lightning protection net. Finally, eight holes were made in the waterline armor, completely shattering the armor belt and watertight compartment. In the loud bang of the ammunition depot, the huge warship broke into four pieces, and most of the structure completely disintegrated and scattered on the seabed within a radius of five kilometers, leaving a thick layer of heavy oil to create pollution.

Yamaguchi is famous and falls with the warships.

There were more than a hundred soldiers fighting with him until the last moment, and almost no one in the two turrets escaped in the face of battle until they were completely blown up and could not move. They gave up shooting, although the turret was so beaten that it could not aim at all.

The counterattack lasted until the moment before the explosion, and such persistence made Wang Wenda sigh.

In the distance, Chen Shaokuan was on the "Hengshan" who was turning around and chasing, saying, "This is the morality and spirit that the navy should have. The so-called century-old navy does not refer to the manufacturing of warships or industrial technology products. Any powerful country can catch up for twenty or thirty years, but the inner spirit of a navy cannot be piled up with money. It requires generations of people to use blood and fire to continuously temper the collision between steel. After a long period of accumulation, it finally condenses into the core that can be inherited by the torch."

From the Meiji Restoration to the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the Japanese began to lay the foundation for their naval power, the courageous quality and will of daring to fight, and then went to the level after the naval battle with Russia. After the subsequent thirty years, they continued to build powerful maritime forces, and the 30,000 ton-class giant ships and cannons, which made their spirit expand more and more rapidly. After crossing the critical point, they became arrogant.

In contrast, things like Britain, which had been strong for hundreds of years, have accumulated over the years, are conservative and corrupt. The decline of national strength and policy differences have made them decline. However, the quality and level of naval generals alone are far from being surpassed casually.

In any case, after seventy years of construction, it is normal for the Japanese Navy to emerge as a stubborn guy like Yamaguchi Duowen.

Chen Shaokuan's words were not just said to Wang Wenda alone, but to the entire fleet through the radio. Only by witnessing the quality of the enemy in frontal battles can he contrast his own level. This is more convincing than any data analysis.

After hearing this, Wang Wenda blinked and suddenly came back to his senses, and his cheeks twitched, asking, "Sir Chen! You have always planned such a dangerous battle with the Japanese Navy, which makes us fight against the strong head-on with the weak against the strong, and fight against the enemy twice as much as ours. It is not to shape our naval soul in actual combat, right?!"

Chen Shaokuan did not answer him positively, but smiled softly and said, "Facts have proved that the mental outlook of Chinese naval officers and soldiers is still worthy of trust and praise."

Wang Wenda turned off the radio with a "slap" and jumped and shouted: "Damn it! The old guy is too sinister, right?! He played a family with the wealth and lives of our tens of thousands of brothers and the family foundation that Boss Zhu made! It's cruel enough! It's so cruel! It's so bold! I admire him so much!"

Not only him, Fu Zhenhua couldn't help but sweat! After a long time of trouble, Chief Chen still made such a plan in his belly! In fact... he didn't know how to describe it.

To really describe it, there is only one word that is crazy! It’s absolutely crazy!

With four battleships, four aircraft carriers, four heavy cruisers and more than twenty destroyers, tens of thousands of China's best naval soldiers came to train, fight to the death with the world's third-strongest Japanese Navy to temper the spiritual will of the navy and shape the military spirit. Can ordinary people do such a bold idea? Dare to think so? Dare to do that?

Wang Wenda even dared to conclude that if Chen Shaokuan had made this plan clear from the beginning, Boss Zhu would definitely refuse without saying a word! Is it easy to work hard to accumulate some money!

The loss is that they have taken the initiative and gained the limelight so far. Otherwise, if you fail to pay attention, the loss will be immeasurable. I am afraid that the next step will be to face the division and struggle of the great powers all over the world, and the dangerous situation of the Japanese Navy and Army, which is like a wolf. Even if the task force can fight, how can they withstand the siege of so many people?

It's definitely a risk! It's not much different from the Japanese betting on national fortunes and the Qing Dynasty!

Wang Wenda was not afraid to use the greatest evil thoughts to figure out Chen Shaokuan's psychology. I was afraid that he had been frustrated all his life. Now he finally took the opportunity to take advantage of Zhu Bin's unpreparedness and suddenly played a big game. If he won, he would be fine. If he lost, he would have paid his life to himself. Maybe he could inspire a large number of later generations to come forward bravely... This is really "I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood"!

It is undeniable that the Chinese Navy has been deteriorating after the Beiyang era. It is not the biggest problem to have no money or warships. It is lacking in the mind that the navy should have, never give up and dare to sacrifice! The so-called four major fleets are not about falling apart, but the most hateful thing is that they have all become accomplices of warlord melee and protection of local forces.

Just like what the Executive Yuan impeached the navy case said, the Chinese Navy was actually an armed guard for local warlords, transporting smuggled goods, and fighting with their own naval guns in order to compete for the attack. As a result, when the Japanese entered Shanghai, they shrank and said that they did not receive the military order and dared not act without any action... Damn, they drove the army to your house to kill people and set fires and set fires. As a soldier, they stared at him and were embarrassed to defend themselves, are you shameless?!

To put it bluntly, the army with soft bones is nothing but mud that cannot be supported on the wall. No matter how many years have passed, no matter how powerful the equipment is or how advanced the weapons are, no hard bone that dares to bear is a pile of shit.

In the past, when facing those so-called naval colleagues who could not even shout, Chen Shaokuan would not even have any thoughts. Today is different. A Chaoyang army that has not been corrupted or influenced by those people, the young force has risen rapidly. He rarely lives in the toilet. If he doesn't seize the opportunity to release the strength he has accumulated for half his life, if he works hard, he will probably not close his eyes if he dies!

Now, in front of you, when a Japanese main warship fell under its own gun, tens of thousands of people witnessed the entire process of the Chinese Navy facing a powerful enemy and achieving fruitful results, it will surely become a profound memory for these young naval soldiers.

The pride and confidence brought by manipulating giant ships and cannons to create this victory will never be cultivated. The bombardment of giant cannons face to face, the explosion of gunfire and fire, and they will always face the tempering of death, which will inevitably lead them to be reborn. The new generation of Chinese navy, which is rising slowly on the bones of the powerful Japanese army, will surely become the backbone of the rise of the country and nation!

As long as he can achieve this goal, even if he, Chen, dies immediately, or he will never be able to touch his beloved steel giant whale in the second half of his life, there will be no regrets!

As a younger generation, Wang Wenda may find it difficult to understand the mood and wishes of the older generation. At this time, his mind was full of depression caused by the old guy to plot against him. Thinking about his bright future and a bright future waiting. If he was killed here in an unknown way, he would be embarrassed to speak when he was at the King of Hell. Old Chen, you are cruel!

I made up my mind and decided not to work with those old guys from now on. It would be too dangerous! If I am not careful, I will be cheated! It would be better to have the power I have. Even if I have less, I will feel at least at ease!

Unable to force Chen Shaokuan, Wang Wenda was so angry that he had to come to the Japanese! He stretched his face and gritted his teeth and ordered: "Come on the flagship and sink all the Japanese ships he saw on the road!"

Fu Zhenhua was so familiar with his bearish temper. He knew that this guy was very frustrated, so he quickly made arrangements.

Chen Shaokuan seemed to have done something insignificant, and he was at ease to command the fleet to continue moving forward, turning to the north, crossing the front of Yamamoto Izuru.

At this time, the formation of both sides had undergone tremendous changes. The "Nagmon" bravely used bait to compete with the two battleships commanded by Shen Honglie. While changing directions in a large arc, it launched an attack with a naval gun, and even if it was not accurate to be aimed at it even though it was twenty or thirty kilometers away, it showed its attitude. After more than ten minutes, its posture had been adjusted to northwest and was successfully maintained at the distance from the interceptor ships and was not forced into it. It even narrowed the second team of Takakichi Tanaka, which was rushing to assist at high speed, and it was about 20 kilometers closer. In another twenty minutes, it would be completely reconciled.

The "Muo" that followed closely followed was an emergency lane change, which was more dangerous than Nagato, and was heading north for about six kilometers. At this moment, it was basically in parallel with the flagship. In addition, the "Hyuga" that sacrificed its life and fled northward was basically driven to the same horizontal direction. It can be said that Yamamoto's plan was more than half successful! The price paid was the "Ise"!

It is not bad, but it is still worth it compared to the four main battleships being pressed and beaten by people. The four heavy patrols and more than a dozen light patrols for rescue, destroyers cut into the rear, desperately releasing torpedoes or long-range artillery blocking. The two ships "Taishan" and "Hengshan" had to slow down while sweeping mines while using their naval guns to drive away the annoying flies, and they were inevitably hit by several guns.

Including the Japanese army's extremely armor-piercing performance, the rate of fire was only 24 times slow, and the 203mm naval guns of heavy cruisers. All the shells hitting the two battleships were tickling. Not only could they not damage the main turret or bridge, they could not penetrate the deck, and even the arc-shaped automatic turret of the 76mm anti-aircraft gun was unable to move. They only made a pool of fireworks fumigation and collapsed several basalt fiberboards. The battleships were damaged.

But in the end, the pursuit slowed down. Even if the two battleships immediately headed north to stop, they would have to face the seven battleships that the Japanese army would form a column when they rushed over! That situation would be very bad!

The "Changmen" rushed forward and fired to the front left. Even if the opponent was in the outer ring and the turning radius was much larger, it always had the advantage with its short-term high speed, which made it unable to show off its four turrets to fire. It did not dare to stop and turn and shoot across the ground. It would be defeated by the opponent's two-for-one firepower, and the advantageous firepower of 18-to-8 is so powerful that it could not fight back!

Battleships are bombarded by each other, just like two eggs smashing each other with sledgehammers, and they will inevitably break the eggs. The difference is that whose hammer is more skillful and swing faster. The strength of the shell is simply not enough in the face of absolute power.

At least, Iroji Yamamoto thought so. He absolutely did not believe in the saying that "never sink, cannot be destroyed" warships. Even if the two powerful warships under construction produced 460mm main guns and designed turret armors up to 650mm thick, he still firmly believed that the spear has a greater chance of victory than the shield.

Therefore, he did not expect the "Namen" to fight against the opponent's main ship. Although according to the analysis and judgment of experts from the intelligence department and Shipbuilding Headquarters, in order to install the huge three-seat 406mm main guns and so many secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns, and to achieve such a large speed, he must sacrifice protective armor and it is impossible to block his own 410mm main gun.

So what?! Even if the other party is sunk, I will be done! Both sides will be hurt without any necessity.

Finally, the "Navonmen" survived the most difficult ten minutes. Yamamoto Iroji looked up at the fighter planes falling down like turkeys in the sky, took a deep breath, and shouted firmly: "Order the main ships to rudder 30 degrees right, advance north at full speed, and prepare to take the battle!"
