"Engine room, please start the engine. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"The engine is complete. ”

"Slow ahead. ”

"Understood. ”

Arisa was not wrong about one thing, and that was that the crew were indeed top honors. Even if it was the first time for everyone to operate the Shomori, they could still get the ship up and running quickly.

After replenishing the crew with sufficient capacity, the operation mode of the ship was also switched from fully automatic mode to semi-automatic mode, and the functions were also enriched a lot.

"The application has been approved and we can practice at the 6-10 driving range. Arisa paused, then continued, "As soon as you leave the port, move towards 6-10. ”

"Understood. ”

Said to be the captain, but Arisa acted more like a co-captain, stopping most of the things that should have been done by the captain.

There's no way, if she doesn't stand up at this time, a certain mouthless captain will drive people crazy.

Otowa is now a gunner, so naturally she won't be in the bridge anymore, and she's blowing the sea breeze from the main gun position in the bow of the ship.

Having said that, Shizuku was actually quite good to Otowa, and directly gave the position of gun chief to the inexperienced Otowa.

The power of the gunners is very large, and all the weapons on the warship are under her control. Although there are a few weapons in the defense class, there are also three main guns and two anti-aircraft guns, that is, there are four people to listen to her.

But on the other hand, it's also roasting the sound feather on the fire. If she can't show the gunnery that a gun commander should have, she will be criticized by many people.

"It's about the same as the artillery on the chariot, so it should work......"

Looking at the ten-year 12cm single-mounted cannon in front of him, Otowa couldn't help but sigh.

While Otowa was thinking, the ship slowly sailed out of the harbor.

The speed of the Zhanshou-class coastal defense ship is not fast, the cruising speed is 16 knots, and the maximum speed is 19.7 knots. Fortunately, the place where they practiced this time was not far away, and the boat reached the target in an hour at full speed.

"It is also one of the battlefields of war games, and it has sunk ships totaling hundreds of thousands of tons, so many people also call it the 'Iron Bottom Strait'. ”

Arisa was still very caring, and before the ship arrived at the driving range, she explained it on the ship's radio.

"The Iron Bottom Strait is ok. ”

Saying...... The productivity of the 22nd century is really exploding, hundreds of thousands of tons of ships are sinking for entertainment, and it is really hard to imagine that the world will change so much in 100 years.

"Let's do sailing training first. Shizuku's voice came over the radio.

"Then, all units pay attention, prepare for nautical training. Arisa added.

Nautical training, as the name suggests, is naturally the practice of sailing, mainly to examine the operation of the helmsman on the boat.

In naval battles, the helmsman's operation is very important, especially in the lower ends.

For such a thousand-ton coastal defense ship, any torpedo and aerial bomb is deadly, and a single shot can blow up the entire ship.

If the helmsman does not operate it well, the coastal defense ship will not survive for three minutes in front of the torpedo boat, and it will be delivered when you go out.

However, the helmsman on the Otowa ship did not seem to be badly handled, and during the sailing practice, he avoided all the mines with a coquettish position, and finally drove the ship through the five incoming torpedoes.

"Next, artillery practice. ”

"Gun Commander Izumi-san, please be ready to fire. ”

"Understood. ”

After Otowa finished speaking on the radio, he began to operate the cannon in front of him.

"All the main guns obey my orders and aim at the target ship 3 kilometers away. ”

""""Understood!"

A uniform reply came back from the radio.

It seems that it is not easy to hit a target at a distance of 3 kilometers on a rocking ship, but the size of the target ship is much larger than that of a combat vehicle, and in general it is not difficult.

Amid the humming sound of turret motors, Otowa quickly aimed his gun at the distant target.

Although the Zhanshou in the war game is equipped with a turret motor, in order to restore the history, the rotation speed of the turret is still about the same as that of the historical hand-cranked turret, in short, the speed is quite touching.

"Fire!"

After Otowa finished speaking, he was the first to pull the trigger of the gun.

The main gun on the garrison is still relatively easy to use, and the trajectory of this 45 times diameter 12cm cannon is not bad, and Otowa does not have to go through much trouble to paste a high-explosive shell into the face of the target ship.

After hitting the target, the shell exploded violently in an instant, blasting a large hole in the hull of the target ship.

It's not like Otowa didn't do anything for a few days at sea, and she was so bored that she even ran out of all the 12cm ammunition on the ship.

Under such high-intensity practice, Otowa quickly figured out the ballistics of this cannon.

"It's also very powerful......

In the previous land battle, the largest caliber gun that Otowa had touched was the Ru251's 90mm BK-90, and this time I changed the 12cm gun to feel that the lethality instantly increased by a few notches.

After Otowa, the two main guns in the rear of the ship also fired shells in succession, but these shells were still a little short of the target ship, and they landed around the target ship.

In fact, this result is normal.,How can you hit the target in the first round of naval battles.,It's not a constant correction of the trajectory to attack.,That's why Otowa can hit the first shot.。

In the destroyer civil war, it is not for nothing that the 40mm Bofors is better than the 127mm main gun......

"It's amazing, it's worthy of being a gunslinger. ”

"That's it. ”

The first shot alone, Otowa left a deep impression on many girls.

After firing a round of shells, the automatic loader on the main gun also worked.

As with the turret motor, the loader's efficiency is limited to the manual reloading level, and in short, this slow action is quite painful to watch.

"Preparation for the second round of shooting. ”

Immediately after the reload, Otowa gave the order for a second round of shooting.

The ship did not stop, but maintained a cruising speed of 16 knots, and the firing environment naturally changed compared to the previous one.

"Fire!"

The moment he said this, Otowa pulled the trigger.

Even though the firing environment had changed, the shell smashed into the target ship without deviation, opening a wide opening in the bridge of the ship.

This result is not surprising to Otoba, after all, she is Otoba.

As for the remaining two main guns, the results were still unsatisfactory, one shell missed closely, and another shell flew directly above the target ship.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with this result, but when compared with Otowa's two shots and two hits, it was a bit embarrassing.
