Chapter 340: Fate
As the observer said, the gunner of the V-25, located in the bow of the ship, was really taken out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This old-fashioned WW1 expulsion was not designed with much thought in mind, and the ship's three guns were not equipped with shields, just a bare bare cannon with little protection for the gunner.
"The salvo stopped, and the shell should have killed their gunner. ”
After Arisa finished speaking, she slowly lowered the telescope in her hand.
"Keep attacking. Shizuku said lightly.
"Understood!"
The attack on the V-25 stopped, but the Zhanshou kept its fire on and soon sent a new round of shells at the enemy ship.
"The enemy ships are starting to turn!"
Just as Arisa was thinking about what to do next, the voice of an observer suddenly came over the radio.
"Are you going to escape?"
"No...... On the contrary, they rushed in our direction!"
"I want to ride my face and release thunder......"
Arisha's reaction was still very fast, and he saw the tactics of the opposite side at the first time.
Although the firepower of the garrison is already very strong in its class, it is still difficult to sink a thousand-ton destroyer in a short time with only 3 120mm guns.
If the enemy ship chooses the bow of the ship to resist bullets, it will not be able to do any damage, and the V-25 can completely charge against the fire of the guard, and then put a wave of thunder on the face.
The V-25 was not a torpedo boat like the PT-103, and the two twin torpedo launchers in the middle and rear of the hull were free to rotate. As long as the V-25 takes advantage of its speed advantage and cuts to the side of the defender, it can shoot an unavoidable torpedo from the opposite side.
In the lower rooms, the power of the torpedo is unquestionable. In the case of normal operation of the fuse, it can be said that as long as it hits, it is an instant kill, regardless of whether the target is a torpedo boat, a coastal defense ship or a destroyer.
"Keep the current formation unchanged. ”
In this case, Shizukukan is still very calm.
"That'...... The artillery crews continued to fire to see if they could blow up their bridge. ”
"We'll do our best, but we can't force this kind of thing!"
With that, Otowa started aiming again.
The bridge of the V-25 was particularly small, not even as large as the dormitories of Otowa and Koyuki. It can be said that whether you can hit or not has nothing to do with technology, it all depends on the fate between the two.
"Fire!"
After confirming the shooting of Zhu Yuan, Otowa decisively gave the order to shoot.
With a loud bang, the three cannons on the Zhan Shou fired out the shells almost simultaneously.
Two of the three shells landed next to the V-25, splashing two small columns of water, and only one shell hit the bow of the V-25, blowing up an inconsequential crater.
The three shells did not achieve much success, but they did irritate the members of the V-25.
A large cloud of black smoke instantly rushed out of the chimney on the V-25, and the boiler quickly went to its maximum output of 23,500 horsepower, and it didn't take long to accelerate the ship to more than 30 knots.
"They're trying, but there's no way back. Arisa said helplessly.
Compared to the V-25's 23,500 horsepower boiler, the two diesel engines with only 4,200 horsepower are like toys. One of the two ships can run to 33 knots, and the maximum speed of the other is less than 20 knots, and it is really impossible to run away in the chase battle.
"Fire!"
Otowa didn't care so much at this time, and his mind was full of only how to throw the cannonball in the enemy's face.
Otowa was sure that he had aimed at the enemy's bridge, but the cannonball eventually hit the bow of the enemy's ship.
Now it is not only swaying up and down, but the V-25 is shaking even more violently. The most important thing is that the bridge position of the V-25 is still very low, and it is too difficult to hit.
"Fire, fire, fire!"
After a few missed sniping, Otowa had already given up thinking and directly handed everything over to fate.
After a few minutes, the bow of the V-25 was already gnawed by a dog, and I don't know how many shells had been hit. However, the ship still maintained a high speed of more than 30 knots, and the distance between the two sides was only two kilometers.
"Come again!"
Just when Otowa was about to die, a violent explosion suddenly occurred in front of the enemy ship's hull, and a mushroom cloud rose on the spot.
The 120mm high-explosive shell definitely does not have this power, then it can only be that the shell exploded something.
"The site of the explosion was the main gun emplacement of the enemy ship, and we hit their ammunition!"
It wasn't long before the slightly excited voices of the observers could be heard on the radio.
The V-25 was not exposed by the artillery and the gunner, even the ammunition was exposed, and dozens of shells were piled up directly behind the artillery.
I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, a shell flying towards the bridge of an enemy ship was stopped by the main gun, and the impact of the explosion seemed to make the fuse of a certain shell on the ammunition rack work.
Then came the earth-shattering explosion of ammunition, although the caliber of these shells was only 88mm, but the power of the explosion was not small at all.
The impact first sent away the two girls who were operating the torpedoes in the rear, and then shot a lot of debris further to the bridge further back.
As a World War I expulsion, the V-25 naturally did not have such a high technology as bulletproof glass, and the fragments easily shattered the glass in front of the bridge and flew into the inside of the bridge.
Even after being blocked by the glass, the debris was still lethal, and it took many members of the bridge on the spot, including the captain and helmsman of the ship.
"Wonderful!" Arisa clasped her hands together and continued, "Come on, keep shooting!"
A new girl soon took over the helmsman on the V-25, and the surviving co-captain took over the command. However, after the ammunition was detonated, a fire appeared to have ignited on the nose deck of the V-25.
The large amount of black smoke directly blocked the helmsman's view, and at the same time smoked the observers above the bridge to speak rudely.
"A thousand distances, ready to make contact!"
"Left full rudder, rush straight over. ”
Instead of retreating and dragging the knife, Shizuku chose to turn directly to the enemy ship.
The towing knife is not dragged, the speed of the defense is too slow, and it will soon be chased by someone and then taken away by a wave of mines, it is better to fight head-on with the possibility of a mistake in the operation of a wave of torpedoes on the opposite side.
The Smug quickly completed the turn, but by this time the V-25 was also closer.
"Distance 500!"
"Break through from the right!"
The person who said this was not Shizuku, but Otowwa, who was located in the front gun position.
"Shizuku......?"
Arisa was also confused when she heard Otowa's words, and could only look at Shizuku behind her.
