Chapter 843 Destruction! The nightmare of the British and American navies (5)!
The Japanese Navy of this era and the naval generals of some countries have a good habit, that is, insist on commanding in the bridge command room before battle and never hide in a safe place casually, which would be regarded as a sign of lack of courage.
It is particularly obvious to the Japanese. As the captain or fleet commander, they were in the daytime battle command room and at nighttime battle command room. They wanted to squat there every day, even if the shells in front were flying overwhelmingly, the flames were blown up, and the war smoke was rolling, and they would persist without wavering.
Doing this can obviously boost morale. For example, can the soldiers and soldiers be discouraged and retreat at will? Of course, no, the navy itself is a military force that takes courage and knowledge and technology, and it is necessary to grasp both hands. It is not only necessary to be proficient in operating complex equipment with high technical content, but also to have the courage to withstand the bombardment of giant cannons, so they appear to be more noble and arrogant than other military forces. However, this will soon be caught up and surpassed by the Air Force. In the future, the price of an advanced fighter jet is no much cheaper than a warship, so it is still operated by one person!
The officers on the Musashi were no exception. As representatives of the most powerful warships of the empire, they undoubtedly set an example, but they were not sure if they had to calculate it for a long time. The opponent was not playing according to common sense. After these bombs, the people on the bridge were not killed directly, but almost all were killed or injured. In short, no one could command the battle.
This is just the function of the first two bombs! There are six more, so follow it!
Just as the first shock wave converged and the mushroom clouds rose, the other six were smashed one after another, three hit the warship's body accurately, and three exploded in the sea water next to it!
The three hits hit the front and rear decks, and the huge explosion force exploded two huge holes that opened up to the sky. The internal horizontal impact tore up to pieces most of the cabin structure, causing serious injury to the keel, bursting and pouring water on the side hull, and two boilers exploded!
The three explosions in the water were not destructive at all. The impact and squeeze caused the bottom keel to twist, directly destroying half of the thruster and rudder plate. It even crushed the armor belt more than ten meters long and poked it in, so the water became even more crazy!
As for the anti-aircraft gun positions on both sides of the deck, there were basically no one to see. The deck was repeatedly washed and swept by the rushing fire and air waves. All those who were not in the closed bunker were killed and injured. The sub-turrets and other anti-aircraft gun positions were also killed and injured. In a blink of an eye, the direct casualties exceeded 500 more!
Although neither the three main turrets nor the two secondary turrets hit the sky cover directly, the bomb bombs in front and rear directly shocked the middle of the turret, causing the people inside to make a serious first attempt. For a moment, the entire warship almost lost control!
After the explosion of smoke and clouds, everyone was shocked to see that the Musashi was like a homeless man who was eating and was covered in black and ragged, with thick smoke on fire, and was crooked and planted in the water. The water in the port side was severely inclined to exceed 10 degrees. It seemed that his belly was about to be exposed at any time!
The worst thing is that the upper half of the bridge almost collapsed. The thick and wide island seemed to have been beaten out of thin air, and it was so broken that it was so hard that it could not bear to see what the people inside would end up with!
Nagashika Tadaichi's eyes were straightened at that time, and he opened his mouth wide and stared blankly for half a minute, screaming: "Baga, the road! The Chinese people are simply unreasonable! How can they just attack the warships of the empire! Shameless. Too shameless!"
He spoke Japanese too quickly, and the translator didn't understand it very well for a while, but the pronunciation at the beginning was so classic that there was no need to be translated. All the British and American officials knew what it meant. All of them looked bad!
After all, they are lieutenant generals, and they are old. They have the huge force of an empire. You are actually cursing people in person. What quality is this! It's so inappropriate!
When the translator came to his senses, he understood what happened later. The British almost gave up his face on the spot: "Your uncle! What does it mean to fight your warships specifically! The little darling guy looked at it yourself. Are the two guys in your family the biggest on the entire sea? Capture the king first and fight the most threatening target in the war. This is very reasonable and logical. What did the Chinese do wrong? According to your opinion, are you going to attack our small warship first, right?"
At this point, the commanders of Britain and the United States were really shocked! The strike ability shown by Zhu Bin's warships and military forces was shocked and frightened!
The Air Force will not say that now, four or five hundred planes are gone. Think about it, it will be less than twelve hours! What speed is this? Even if you chase you in the sky, it shouldn’t be that fast, right? But it’s gone!
Then there is the warship! It is also a giant. People dare to fire and hit it within 70 kilometers. They can hit it accurately in 30 kilometers. In just a few hours, they knocked down the two Yamatoes. What kind of attack power is this! Think about the main battleships of their two countries. The armor was much worse than the Japanese. If the other party attacked him first... General Kimmel and Lieutenant General Philips suddenly felt that it was a huge mistake to stay on the North Carolina to command nearby. This is too unsafe!
Then there was a terrifying airdrop bomb! They had never seen such a big and powerful bomb! The pilots in the sky said that the bomber stayed for more than 10,000 meters and refused to come down. They couldn't reach it, but the falling speed was so fast. The sharp-eyed man seemed to see the small wings, and his size was no smaller than an aircraft. Judging from the mushroom clouds that exploded, the amount of explosives was definitely greater than the largest one thousand pounds of heavy bombs at present!
If this hits other warships, one of them may explode in two pieces!
Finally, there are unsolvable missiles! They swept dozens of warships in one breath, which is even more terrifying than the legendary forbidden spell magic. What if they concentrated on attacking the main ship? What a good target?! What a high bridge they are!
The worried generals didn't care about talking nonsense with the Japanese, and exchanged complex eyes. After a glance, they immediately looked back and came up with a clever subordinate with a dark face and excitedly suggested: "Sir! This place is already very unsafe! Next, we may encounter key strikes from the enemy! For the command of the entire fleet and for the final victory, please board the plane and transfer to the aircraft carrier immediately to control the overall situation!"
The generals had no intention of saying that they could not escape at the battle. General Kimmel was a man who had no taboos, dared to think, say, and do. But he was definitely not a brainless person who died. He agreed without hesitation. Lieutenant General Philips did not want to die for Japan and the United States. He represented the British Empire to provoke the Far East War and consumed the strength of several countries to create a balance. How could he die for his country without seeing the dawn of victory? That would be too unstable! Withdraw!
Nan Yunzhong's stomach was so angry that his stomach was similar to a toad. His mouth opened and closed several times without saying "I will never retreat." As a commander, he was very immature!
He did it right away, and a group of dozens of commanders immediately retreated from the bridge. The high-ranking military personnel took off and left in sequence. The low-ranking military personnel boarded the lifeboat and moved backwards, with a very fast speed.
At the same time, in order to ensure their safe transfer, the other three warships took the initiative to move forward to attract firepower, and cooperated with the seven ships on the other side to continue to form firepower to surround the attack. At the same time, anti-aircraft artillery fired at the suspicious areas in the sky. The main gun even made the air boil, and continued to use secret shells to surround the two ships of Kunlun!
All facilities in North Carolina were ready. Soon the commanders left in a seaplane. The captain of this ship breathed a little relieved. Next, they could start working with confidence!
The shells flying in the sky have a little impact on the bombers. After all, the ones below are battleships. The caliber of the air artillery is 133mm, and all of them can reach more than 10,000 meters. The Japanese 127mm high-angle cannon is not accurate enough. The fire rate is not high and the bottom is at the bottom, but the American mk12 dual-equipped 127mm high-level dual-purpose cannon is threatening!
This 38-fold barrel gun has a very high accuracy. Its fire control radar and wireless near-explosion fuse shells have a damaging effect on air targets ten times that of the previous one! Zhu Bin plagiarized the design upgrade and fully equipped all ships after the upgrade, as the main gun of destroyers, the secondary guns of cruisers and battleships, and even the dual main gun of missile cruisers. That performance is nothing to say!
This thing can also hit more than 10,000 meters, which means that the body tube cannot reach the bomber, but it also makes the bomber dare not easily lower the height and find excitement. It can support the air defense network to a distance and altitude beyond 10,000 meters. It can be said to be very awesome!
Especially indirect is that its wireless near-explosion fuse has no worse effect on gliding bombs than fighter jets, and its destruction accuracy is particularly amazing at a height of 4,000 meters. Zhu Bin asked the bomber to drop four bombs in a row, but was stopped two of them and had to retreat for a distance.
The cruiser and destroyer who were waiting for the escort came up and fired such shells into the air without interruption. They were completely tempted to do whatever they wanted, forcing the bomber to retreat again and again, and finally exceeded the attack radius and could not reach the battleship!
Zhu Bin originally wanted to use bombers to directly solve the remaining battleships, but now it seems not easy! Unless a large number of aircraft are allowed to fight against the casualties, forty or fifty heavy bombings are expected to be almost the same in one wave, but more than a dozen aircraft will inevitably be hit hard.
Not counting the cost of 400,000 US dollars per aircraft and casualties, Zhu Bin could not accept this loss ratio alone. He was willing to let others die, but he would never let his own people lose their lives, and he did not want to fight such a battle that kills people for one thousand and hurts themselves. There is no need!
In the chaotic battle, the departure of a few seaplanes did not attract his attention. The main reason was that there were too many planes in this airspace and it was impossible to tell. However, the three enemy ships rushed up to find excitement, which was what he was happy to see. He was immediately excited and slapped his hands and laughed: "I thought they would be scared away! He actually rushed up, okay, then the man will deal with you seriously!"
Chen Shaokuan and others had just regained their attention from the power of the bomb gang fight. He was a little unhappy to hear him say this: "As the navy of the three strongest countries in the world, their traditional spirit should be taken seriously! You cannot escape when you encounter a little loss in battle. That is not the quality that the navy should have! Don't be too careless, otherwise you will suffer a loss!"
The seniors all had good intentions, and Zhu Bin accepted it humbly, but no matter how much he did, he would do it! If the powerful force in his hands still scares the other party’s so-called spirit, it would be too unfair!
The two ships Kunlun turned quickly on the sea lightly, leaving behind the enemy ships of the β formation that had just been forced into, and facing the three battleships that were coming up to the Alpha formation, and blasted them without hesitation!
At this time, because of the strategic retreat of North Carolina, the three prominent ships, George V of Britain, Washington of the United States, and Oribe, Japan. They have different shapes, completely different firepower, and obvious strength. Among them, the three triple-mounted 410mm main guns of the Japanese "Oribe" are still powerful and have the thickest armor. But this guy is obviously a little timid, and because of the formation method, it is farthest away and the angle is not right!
Zhu Bin's attention at this time was on the two British and American warships that he participated in the war for the first time.
The caliber of the main gun is much different from that of the same tonnage. The British looked very filing in all aspects, and the shells that were shot were soft and weak.
But being weak does not mean you can ignore it. In fact, Zhu Bin wants to say that the person he hates the most is not the Japanese, but the British guys who fan the flames and make trouble everywhere!
If it weren't for the British's messing around. The central planning led to the collapse of the WorldCom Group and the blockade and beating of the entire Western world, he would not have been so filthy with several countries so quickly. Even if the time was delayed for half a year, he would have calmly cleaned up Japan first, and then continued to rectify the entire Far Eastern forces, and prepared for a steady step by step. In his timetable, the full conflict would have to wait until next year when the ocean fleet was fully formed!
However, the British relied on their boss' qualifications and skillfully used checks and balances to provoke disputes, forcing Zhu Bin to take ruthless actions. As a result, they were out of control and had no room for buffering until today, making them enemies everywhere. Even if they were not afraid, they were very unhappy!
So Zhu Bin just took a look at the glasses on several battleships, so he first pulled out the George V and sent a message to the two battleships: "Sink her first! Let the British give priority to our cannonballs!"
But it doesn’t matter if the two battleships hit anyone. Anyway, they all have the same threat, so sooner or later they have to deal with it. The boss said that it would be better to fight that first!
Two giant ships were rampant together. Six main turrets aimed at each other, and Boom Boom was launched in three consecutive rounds over 25 kilometers. Before George V could figure out what was going on, he inexplicably attracted a large number of shells!
The two consecutive shells hit almost made the British go crazy on the spot! For nothing else, that's too powerful!
A shell hit the four-unit main turret in front. The pitiful 324mm main panel armor was vulnerable in front of the 420mm shell with extremely powerful penetration. It easily broke through the front and blasted in, but it was still a high-explosion charge. With a loud bang, the entire turret was basically broken!
The second shell landing point was even more vicious. It directly penetrated the thickest part of the waterline armor, and continuously penetrated the multi-layer compartment and blasted into the main boiler compartment. The explosion caused the explosion of two Parson-style boilers. The entire warship immediately turned into a ball of fire, burning steaming!
Not finished! Two shells hit by the third round of volleys, one in the middle of the island, and after the terrible kinetic energy penetrated, the second half was smashed in half, the main mast collapsed on the spot, and the other shell hit the base of the chimney, and the rolling smoke boiled and flooded the entire warship. More than a thousand people controlled the members were killed and injured by the bomb and more than 300 were basically lost in combat power.
Zhu Bin had no idea of forgiveing others, so he took his life while he was sick!
Two more rounds of fire were fired, and one shell was full of luck. It easily penetrated the horizontal armor and penetrated into the engine compartment, causing a big explosion, almost tearing the warship to pieces. Another shell was smashed into the turret, causing the ammunition depot to explode, and a huge mushroom cloud of five or six hundred meters was exploded. The 40,000-ton warship jumped hard on the sea surface, squeaking open the thrilling hole, and quickly pouring water and sinking!
From beginning to end, the entire warship had not even come back to its senses!
Lieutenant General Philips' plane had just left the radio shield area and received a report sent by him. He almost fainted at that time! As soon as he left his front foot, the main ship exploded. What kind of style is this? Isn't it a disgusting person?
However, he felt more angry and angry in his heart, and ordered viciously: "We must kill all the Chinese warships at all costs! It's so hateful!"
I can tell you this tone! He led the team out to threaten the ignorant guys in the Far East, letting them know that the British Empire is also the largest country in the world, and not anyone can prick it. If you don’t accept it, be beaten up!
Before leaving, Churchill's bold words were not a joke, it was really a pride from the Victorian era. Except for Britain, the whole world was filled with inferior people. The British Empire sent out several of the most advanced warships, which was to let you gangs of terrors see what is a wealthy family and what is a high-ranking one!
But this hit was a bit harsh, and the British gentleman who represented the British was not yet awakened.
So Zhu Bin added another fire to it without hesitation!
Seeing that George V was basically helpless, he turned around and saw the "Counterattack" battlecruiser that joined the Beta formation!
This guy is not much smaller than the battleship. His main gun caliber is even higher than that of George V. His speed is not slow, but his armor is a little thin. However, in the British Navy, he is a well-known veteran! It has been more than 20 years since its establishment, and he is still in the stable and ambitious!
Zhu Bin doesn't care whether he is an old senior or not. As long as he is wearing the British flag, she must be unlucky first! It is not appropriate to make the battleship turn around at this time, so he ordered the "Yingzhou" to take action. After aiming, he smashed four anti-ship missiles in one breath!
