Chapter 358: Fire Suppression

"Left rudder, bow to meet the enemy!Lorraine, be careful to avoid it, don't get hit by a torpedo!" Arisa said loudly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"I won't be bumped into, so watch my operation. ”

After Loren finished speaking, he spun the steering gear in his hand at full speed.

As a large destroyer in a sense, the Tenryu was quite maneuverable, and quickly completed a ninety-degree turn, aiming the bow at the Isokaze in front.

Like most of the light ships, when using the bow against the enemy, the Draco only has one gun in the bow to attack the target.

"It's my turn~"

Since only Otowa is now able to attack, she no longer has to report firing parameters to various gun crews, and she can shoot freely.

After all, it takes time for each gun group to re-aim from the time it acquires firing parameters, and during this time the direction of the enemy ship can change at any time, eventually causing the shells to fly.

"Shoot and blast!"

With that, Otowa pulled the trigger from the cannon.

The 140mm cannon was still very vigorous, and the entire gun mount was violently entangled when the cannon was fired, which was much more exciting than the 90mm cannon that Otowa had fought in land battles before.

This time, Otowa did not choose a high-explosive bomb, but replaced it with an armor-piercing bullet that was basically not used before.

Of course, even if the shell was temporarily replaced, the shell fired by Otowa hit the target exactly right.

At the time of Otowa's attack, the enemy ships that had just finished firing their torpedoes were also preparing to retreat under the cover of the floating islands on the side, and they happened to be facing the Tenryu from the side.

The shell finally landed on the waterline below the chimney of the enemy ship, penetrating the thin hull of the ship and into the engine room in the rear.

In addition to being strong enough when the 140mm cannon hits, the destructive power of the shells is also quite strong. Although Otowa didn't know what the shells were doing in the engine room opposite, the flames that erupted from the chimney of the enemy ship spoke for themselves.

"Ness! We broke their engine!"

Seeing this, Arisa shouted excitedly.

In the previous battle, the Honfeng had already suffered considerable damage, so it had to fire a torpedo ahead of schedule and leave the battlefield. It's just that Otowa is now in the soul of their engine, and the ship obviously can't run away.

"Torpedoes are coming, dodge!"

It didn't take long for the torpedo fired by the Trumpet to also approach the Tenryu.

On the opposite side is to launch torpedoes at a distance of 5 km, which may be a bit difficult to replace with a battleship or armored cruiser, but it is nothing at all for a highly mobile light cruiser like the Tenryu.

In addition, despite its long hull, the Tenryu is only 12 meters wide, making it easy to avoid fan-shaped torpedoes when facing enemies from the bow.

Loren only adjusted the course slightly, and let the ship pass through the white line, and the whole process was not too easy.

"Now it's our turn to fight back!" Arisa glanced at Shizuku behind him, then continued, "Stick it up and kill them with a torpedo!"

The four 140mm guns on the Tenryu washed the deck very well, but it still took a lot of time to sink a ship, and the efficiency was far inferior to that of torpedoes.

After the engine was detonated, the enemy ship quickly lost the ability to move, and it did not take long for it to stop at the sea, which can be said to be the best target for torpedoes.

"Don't stop the fire suppression, put on high-explosive shells, and give priority to cleaning up their main guns!"

Even if the advantage was so great, Arisa still didn't have any intention of underestimating the enemy.

The three 120mm cannons on the Twindle are still a bit of a deterrent, and even if they can't do much damage to the Draco's hull, they can blow up a lot of accessories on the upper floor.

"Understood, preparing to start attack~"

As the angle of the hull changed, the three 140mm guns behind the bridge of the Tenryu gradually showed their fangs.

"The artillery crews are free to fire, and they can shoot me as fast as they can!" said Otowa with a smile.

Now that the distance between the two sides is less than two kilometers left, there is naturally no need for a unified salvo, and the shameful thing that can't hit this distance can be withdrawn by yourself.

It didn't take long for several shells to hit the Twinkhead, one of which caught something on fire, causing the rear deck of the Twindle to burst into flames.

When the frenzied output began on the Otowa side, the artillery crew on the opposite side did not forget to return fire, and soon hit the Tenryu with 120mm shells one after another.

On the other hand, I also graduated from a regular school, that is, I have less experience, and I can still get a good hit rate after calming down.

The Isokaze's counterattack also caused some trouble for the Tenryu, as a cannonball hit the Tenryu's chimney, opening an unsightly hole in the chimney. There was also a shell that hit the 80mm high-level dual-purpose gun behind the ship, and even the people with the cannon were taken away in waves, which can be regarded as causing the Tenryu to lose some firepower.

However, this is the end of the Isokaze's counterattack.

In the case of free fire, the four 140mm guns on the Tenryu's side are all outputting at the ultimate rate of fire of 6 seconds per round, and the Isokaze side will basically receive a shell every few seconds.

The protection of the personnel of the Isofeng class is also very touching, the gunner does not have the protection of the cannon shield, the conning tower is a rooftop, and the helmsman captain can even see the moon directly at night.

The Draco's conning tower still has a shed, and the Conning Tower of the Isokaze is only a fence, which is really shabby.

With such rudimentary personnel protection, there was soon no one on the deck of the enemy ship, and only a few members of the entire ship were left shivering in the corners of the cabin.

"The enemy ship has lost the ability to return fire and is ready to fire torpedoes. ”

Looking at the enemy ship that had fallen silent in the telescope, Arisa suddenly smiled.

"Torpedo Group One, please fire a torpedo at the enemy ship......" Otowa paused for a moment, then continued, "That's right, one is enough." ”

Tenryu's two torpedo launchers are only six torpedoes, one less than one, and Otowa doesn't want to waste too many torpedoes on this kind of half-dead guy.

With a dull loud bang, a 533mm torpedo was shot out by the launcher.

Now the distance between the two sides is less than 500 meters, and the torpedo hits the target almost in the blink of an eye, and then there is a violent explosion under the waterline of the enemy ship.

The power of the 533mm torpedo is certainly not as powerful as the 610mm acid torpedo, but it is still more than enough to deal with elementary school students in the early 1,200s like Isokaze.

Although it did not blow the enemy ship in half, the torpedo also made a huge opening in the side of the Isokaze.

With the continuous influx of seawater, the enemy ship soon slowly sank.

"They're finished. ”

Arisa is also a professional commander no matter what he says, so he can naturally understand the situation of this enemy ship.
