Chapter 496 Battleship Showdown (9)

Which good man is not wary! With the shelling dozens of kilometers away, you can only see a fireworks scene, shooting side by side at close range, and the retro naval complex fills the hearts of every soldier!

After a long battle, the young people who had already had a complete fight and had their heads numbed by the constant explosions shone in their eyes, as if they were crazy. Wang Wenda's strange scream triggered a response like a ghost crying and howling!

In the "Hengshan", Cheng Yaoliang's face turned pale when he made the kids, and he complained to Chen Shaokuan: "Sir Chen, you are rigorous in the military management on weekdays, why are you so indulging in these kids today? When the enemy is in front of you, don't let them do whatever you want?"

Chen Shaokuan changed his serious and rigid expression for half his life, but instead sighed with appreciation: "It's rare that young people are passionate, so they can't let them perform well. It's a rare opportunity. Today, we want to let the Japanese have a good look. Our Chinese Navy is not a cord!"

Cheng Yaoliang was surprised and suddenly remembered that in the Battle of Shanghai six years ago, the navy could not hide, and the people across the country were scolded by blood. Chen Shaokuan, the unlucky gentleman, just took over as the Minister of the Navy. He Yingqin, the top military and political department, had not yet made it easy, and the fleet below was all his own actions and no one listened to his shouts. He was caught between the two ends, but he took the blame for no reason.

If someone with a narrow mind is probably already suffering from depression and anger, he will have been killed by the death of three liters of blood. But Chen Shaokuan endured humiliation and worked diligently for several years and did not dare to slack off at all. Today, he is out of the ordinary, and he is afraid that his anger will finally be dissipated. He will simply follow a group of young people to go crazy!

As a result, he has such virtue from top to bottom. If he persuades him again, he will appear incompetent.

So with an order, the Hengshan Sea was flattened, heading towards the northeast, 23 kilometers away from the Japanese ship, and opened fire first!

Almost at the same time, the two ships "Taishan" and "Huashan" roared from their respective positions toward the Japanese ships rushing towards the front parallel!

In the second Japanese army team, Yoshida Shingohara wanted to get closer. When the other party made an evasive attitude, they swept over in one fell swoop. According to the general law of naval combat, he was the most advantageous one and took the advantageous position. The three ships on the other side were all in their own way, and the distance angles were very different. So it was normal to take a temporary evasion and rectify the formation before starting the battle. At that time, I was afraid that I had already brought all the warships to successfully join "Nakamen" and "Muo" to form an absolute combat form.

The other party actually started to fight directly. Don’t they know that the greater the fire density of the main guns of the warships, the better?!

He couldn't help but think too much. The smoke suddenly rose from afar made him realize that he was facing a group of emerging navals that were not very familiar with, their warships, their tactical qualities, and their heritage. It seemed different from the countries in the world today, and there was no communication and understanding. The only German who knew something about the inside story... His naval level actually looked bad to the Japanese!

Yoshida Shingo was furious. When he met such a fool, he had even been sunk so many warships. Yamamoto's command level was a problem!

With a command, the four warships opened fire together!

"Fusang, Yama Castle, Hiei, Kirishima"! Four ancient-level battleships lined up and turned the muzzle. Each ship exploded with four double-mounted turrets, with a total of 32 artillery pieces. At the average caliber and average speed, they aimed at the most suitable flagship "Hengshan" and launched a counterattack!

Because I was worried that all the turrets would overturn the warships, "Fusang, Shancheng" did not dare to open fire. With a standard displacement of only 34,700 tons, the hull was equipped with 6 seats, 12-door 356mm main guns, plus 16 152mm single-load guns, which was already scary enough. The modified waterline 305mm armor gave it a brand new thick-skin capital!

It was also a rare actual combat after its completion. As soon as it came, it encountered unprecedented tough tricks. The Japanese army was also a strange fanaticism from top to bottom!

Dozens of cannons were fired at the same time, and a tremendous sound of earth-shaking sound was heard on the surface of the ten kilometers of sea. When the strong smoke broke out, more than 100,000 tons of warships drifted together, and the roaring shells spanned across the sky. When the two were opposed, a spectacular scene that was rare in decades was immediately formed!

If you use high-speed photography to capture the picture, you can see that between the vast sea and the sky, a huge cannonball rotating evenly against the huge air shock wave arc cover, rushing into the distance at more than twice the speed of sound. The generated sonic boom passes through the sky like thunder, and it only reaches the other side in nearly a minute, plunges into the sea and explodes with a bang!

The fireworks, the explosion of water columns, the muffled sounds and roars were mixed up, and the battleships on both sides turned into an unprecedented and wonderful drama!

The "Hengshan" fires in front, the two turrets in front of the "Taishan" are pointed at the diagonal point, and the front turret of the "Huashan" is facing the left front angle. Although the 21 406mm cannons have one-third less firepower than the opponent, the number of shells is definitely enough, and the destructive power and accuracy are beyond the reach of the opponent!

The battle without dodging or avoiding the hard work of the battle, and the speed of the battle results was averagely fast! With just three rounds of artillery, the "Taishan-class" battleship with precise radar shooting command made its first contribution. Two shells hit the "Shancheng" led by the Japanese army, one shot through the bow deck, and a transparent hole was made on the right side. The other shell hit the turret No. 3 to form a penetration. The thin 100mm armor plate basically had no effect and surrendered directly. Under the bombardment of more than one ton of armor-piercing shells, the subsequent explosion caused serious consequences. The turret was scrapped on the spot, and more than a dozen soldiers were killed or injured. A large fire instead of the chimney to create a rolling smoke, which filled the entire ship!

The Japanese army concentrated 32 main guns to attack a target, which was obviously against the road. In the fourth round of artillery shells, one hit the Hengshan. Among the three shells, one hit the waterline armor and directly disintegrated. One shot cut into the upper deck of the bow at an approximately horizontal angle, blowing one of the bulging anchor piles away, but it did not cause the deck to penetrate. The third shell exploded with an almost perfect blow. It was wonderful in the angle, speed, and stability. The hit position was also very good, just on the top of the double-equipped secondary turret in the clean port side!

After a long journey of more than 22,000 meters, the Japanese 356mm armor-piercing shell still has a maximum depth of 240 meters. This shell almost meets all theoretical best shooting requirements. The shells that fell off the wind hood hit the top of the arc-shaped fully enclosed double-equipped turret at a vertical angle. With a "boom", the composite armor layer was pushed in by the sharp-angle shells. The subsequent explosion completely destroyed half of the area. The miserable crack looked particularly amazing. A ball of fireworks soared into the sky!

The probability of almost one in ten thousand was encountered by the Japanese. Even if you think about such shit, you can't do anything. Most of them hide under horizontal armor, and only three soldiers who stayed inside to deal with sudden attacks at any time were caught!

The collision impact doesn't matter. The violent shock and high-heat flames caused by the explosion instantly made them faint on the spot. Almost at the same time, the fire protection system inside the turret was automatically turned on, avoiding the spread of the fire. The tough basalt lining did not allow the shells to penetrate, avoiding the fate of the entire turret being blown up, but paralysis is certain!

Yoshida Shingo, who closely observed the shelling situation from the telescope, clenched his fist hard and shouted: "Yehehe! Be good at hitting! Just do this! I will completely eliminate them!"

The results of the battle spread throughout the fleet, and the Japanese troops on the four warships were filled with joy, aiming, loading and launching at nearly the maximum speed!

Both sides hedge with a total of 55 knots, with the shelling interval of at least 30 to 40 seconds. After one shot is fired, the next time the goal is aimed. The distance has been widened by one kilometer and the distance is closer by one or two hundred meters. According to the inherent dispersion of the turret, the distance is almost not adjusted, and the shooting angles on the left and right must be changed at any time.

After several rounds of artillery attacks, the Hengshan had rushed from the position between the first and second Japanese ships to the parallel direction of the third Hiei ship, and simply changed its target, and followed the Lao Bangna who escaped three years ago, and shot three armor-piercing bombs, respectively, from the waterline armor, the upper deck, and the middle part of the mast chimney. There was also the right part of the turret No. 3 and 4 that penetrated through!

The thickest turret front shield armor of the "Hirui" is only 280mm, the waterline armor is only 203mm, and the horizontal deck is only 19mm thinner, which is added to the internal boiler room 64mm, the mechanical room 83-89mm, the ammunition depot 102-114mm, and the rudder pickup room 76mm. With such defense capabilities, even the heavy patrol in the task force may not be better, and it cannot catch up with two amphibious assault ships, let alone the "Tarzan-class" perverted armor!

Faced with a vertical penetration depth of 406mm over 22 kilometers, which is more than 350mm, and there is no resistance, wherever you hit, it will be a one-shot piercing!

Even if the charge was only a dozen kilograms, the damage caused by the explosion was still terrible! The port side waterline of the Hiei was torn a crack of one and a half meters, and the inner compartment was penetrated. The explosion caused a boiler to boil on the spot. It was not long before the new power system was replaced and it immediately coughed!

The piercing of the wall caused the mast to tilt, and a three-meter-long crack was blown out of the chimney behind. Rolling smoke ran around. The ventilation system below was severely damaged, and the heat was spread. More than a dozen soldiers were burned!

The armor-piercing projectile at the rear almost killed the turret. Although it did not cause a complete shutdown, it also destroyed a lot of passages and pipes between the two turrets. The explosion point was not far from the waterline armor. If you fire another shot on the spot, the consequences would be unimaginable!

The serious damage made Hiei frightened, and the rolling smoke and the raging heat wave forced them to temporarily withdraw from the ranks of shooting. The Kirishima substitute entered the combat position and once again launched a shooting against the Hengshan!

At the same time, the second-ranked "Taishan" entered the battle formation and formed a salvo on the side of the Japanese ship column for the first time. Wang Wenda's luck was once again showing his might. The first salvo was to hit two shells of the "Shancheng" at a distance of 17.5 kilometers. One shot directly dropped the No. 1 turret, and the other shot penetrated the horizontal deck next to the No. 4 turret from the middle, and directly penetrated into the ammunition depot!

After a shocking explosion, the entire warship turned into a huge mushroom cloud with a diameter of hundreds of meters. From a distance, you can see the hull that was blown into three pieces jumped upwards. The front and rear ammunition depots exploded tore the keel to pieces. The upper building collapsed and flew away. The turret was thrown three hundred meters away. There was almost no mental preparation on the whole ship. Most of them were killed on the spot. A few lucky days were blown to the water. The rest were dizzy. As the warship was filled with sea water within five minutes, it was swallowed! Sinking!

Yoshida Shingo's eyes were straightened! He could never have dreamed of such a tragic result! How could the other party's artillery fire have caused such serious consequences? Such a big explosion must have eliminated the ammunition depot's death... Alas, the fatal weakness of the "Fuson-level"!

He suddenly felt scared! Under his butt, the first ship was the entirely unreliable thing. It seemed powerful, but in fact it was a lot of trouble. If he got a few shots, his survival ability would be worrying!

Two consecutive warships were hit hard, Yoshida Shingo's full confidence suddenly leaked most of the time, and he avoided the two light patrols' lifeless slashing thorns in the center of the battle. The family released nearly 20 93-metallic torpedoes. At the same time, the two heavy patrols used slow 203mm double-equipped turrets torpedoes to fight to the death. Even if the maximum is only 4 rounds per minute, it can give the flagship some time, so it's a little...!

Wang Wenda had to command the battleship to avoid temporarily and knock out the torpedo attack. When he came back to his senses, the Fusang had already run away. He took advantage of the gap to turn north from the right side of the "Mountain City" that was still burning on the sea. The rolling smoke covered the bombardment. The "Huashan" that followed was unable to aim. After four rounds, he found that the effect was not good, so he followed and headed straight for the target behind.

"Hire, Kirishima" found that the situation was wrong. The three main battleships of the opponent were too cruel. They turned right and opened the distance without hesitation. They fired and retreated. In a few minutes, "Hire" whose skewed body was damaged, and the turret of the ship was damaged was hit by five shells one after another. The rear bridge and the third turret were all removed. A miserable gap was blasted out on the upper half of the bridge. More than 30 commanders below the captain were seriously injured and almost paralyzed on the spot!

Their counterattack was not ineffective. Wang Wenda, who was brave enough to force the bombardment, had no chance of failing to hit the Japanese army's superb shooting skills. From beginning to end, he was basically carried over with his thick skin and flesh. This means that the power of the Japanese 356mm main gun was not strong, especially the bullet body was too light and the thickness of the armor was seriously insufficient. If the 410mm main gun of "Namen" was replaced here, I am afraid that he would be paralyzed!

After the "Huashan" was successfully finished, one of the four main battleships of the Japanese Second Army was sunk, one seriously injured, and the other two were all injured. They fled west in a panic and tried to retreat under the cover of light warships.

The three "Taishan-class" ships turned their heads, Chen Shaokuan let out a sigh and smiled loudly: "Next, it's time to hunt!" (To be continued)!~!
