"Fire!"

With Otowa's order, the four guns on the ship spat out tongues of fire at the same time. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Four orange-red high-explosive shells were fired out in an instant, and they flew towards the enemy ship in the distance with a roar.

After a few seconds, most of the shells fell into the sea, but one still hit the lead Vickers-class destroyer.

Unlike slender Japanese ships, this American-made Vickers-class destroyer looks fatter and has a much higher side height, which makes it naturally easier to fight.

The shell hit the observation tower at the tail of the Vickers-class destroyer, blowing up the searchlights placed there on the spot, and taking the observers with them by the way.

At the same time, the opposing destroyer fired a shell that also hit the Tenryu.

Although the power of the 102mm gun is smaller than that of the 140mm, it has an advantage in reload speed, and the fire projection density is naturally greater.

A high-explosive bomb struck the location of the lifeboat on the left side of the Draco chimney, and although the explosion could not cause damage to the lifeboat made of Luna titanium, it destroyed the pylons on which the lifeboats were placed, causing the 30-foot-long dinghy to crash into the sea.

"Damn fellow. ”

Even though the attack didn't cause any real damage to the ship, Arisa gritted her teeth.

It didn't take long for the ship's four main guns to be reloaded, and Otowa wasted no time in letting the various gun crews fire the shells in an instant.

The last round of shelling was able to hit the target, but this round naturally did not miss, and two shells hit the enemy ship.

The first shell hit the triple torpedo launcher on the side of the destroyer, but the torpedo inside the launcher appeared to have been fired, so the shell was not able to cause a secondary explosion.

However, the place where the second shell hit was very exciting, and this shell actually landed exactly on the artillery platform in the center of the four chimneys of the enemy ship.

This platform not only has two 102mm guns of 50 times the caliber, but also dozens of shells are piled up in the middle, and the shell fired by the Tianlong just fell between the ammunition piled up on the platform.

What happened next was predestined, the pile of ammunition was detonated on the spot, and the violent explosion even caused many crew members to fall to the ground.

This wave of explosions not only destroyed the entire artillery platform, but also blasted the front and rear chimneys, which can be described as quite powerful.

"Good fight!"

Looking at the burning enemy ship in the telescope, Arisa couldn't help but wave her fist.

The impact of the explosion was very large, not only stunned the members of the destroyer, but also startled the crews of the two ships next door.

Otowa didn't miss the opportunity to be stunned on the other side, and let his four guns fire another volley on the spot.

Not long after, another round of high-explosive shells washed the enemy ship, and one of the shells fell into the bridge.

The power of the 140mm high-explosive bomb was quite large, and it directly collapsed the bridge of the Vickers-class ship.

"They're finished. ”

The bridges were bombed like this, and naturally no one inside survived.

"Otowwa, this ship is gone. Arisa paused, then continued, "Ignore them for now, and get rid of the other targets first!"

The destroyer's bridge had blown up, and the fire on deck seemed to be out of control, and even if Otowa didn't care about it, it wouldn't last long.

"Understood. ”

After Otowa finished speaking, he slowly turned the cannon and aimed it at the next enemy ship.

After the teammate was destroyed, the remaining two destroyers seemed to be stimulated and fought back even more frantically.

A 102mm shell hit the rear turret of the Draco, and although the high-explosive shell failed to penetrate the gun's 25mm thick shield, it still caused it to collapse a lot of armor and send away the gunner in the rear.

"The fourth gun was hit!"

The gunner next door, who witnessed this scene, immediately reported the situation to Otowa.

"How's the loss?" asked Otowa unhurriedly.

Losses in artillery battles are quite normal, and there is no need to panic about them.

"Akane has been killed, and the condition of the artillery is unclear!"

"Yayoi is going to take Akane's place, and it is important to restore the artillery to combat effectiveness as soon as possible. ”

Even at such moments, Otowa is still able to give orders in an orderly manner.

Gunners of this level are almost routine, so almost every ship will have a spare gunner, and the Tenryu, where Otowa is located, is no exception.

The hatch of the room below the cannon soon opened, and the pink-haired girl rushed out of it, and then ascended to the artillery platform above through the spiral staircase.

"This is Yayoi, and the No. 4 main gun seems to be still working. ”

After groping around with the artillery, the pink fur immediately spoke on the radio.

"Very well, you are now the gunner of the fourth main gun. Otowa said calmly.

When the No. 4 gun regained its combat effectiveness, the attack of the Tenryu did not stop, and the other three guns fired another round of shells at the enemy ship.

During this round of shelling, a 140mm high-explosive shell landed on the bow deck of the enemy ship.

Although the guns of the Vickers-class destroyers are also equipped with shields, the area is much smaller than that of the Dracon-class, and the thickness is also discounted a lot, so there is no way to withstand the impact of 140mm high-explosive shells.

Not only did the shell kill the gunners, but the blast wave of the explosion seemed to damage the main gun. Even if the enemy ship was replaced with a new gunner, there would be no way to get the gun to work again.

The destroyer seems to have lost one gun in the previous battle, and now it has been killed by Otowaba's side, and suddenly only a 102mm gun on the middle artillery platform can return fire.

"Keep shooting!"

Two of the three cannons have been scrapped, and how can we not scrap the last one?

……

During this period of fighting, the ships on both sides were hit by a lot of shells. The last of the enemy ship's guns were also killed, but Otowa also paid the price for the destruction of a turret.

"Be careful, everyone, the enemy ships are starting to turn, they could fire torpedoes at any moment!" Arisa shouted loudly.

On both sides were high-speed ships of more than thirty knots, and the distance between the two sides naturally decreased quickly, and it did not take long to get within the range of torpedoes.

However, neither side was in a hurry to launch the torpedo, and seemed to be looking for an opportunity to strike a killer blow.

"Loraine, let the ship meet the enemy with the bow of the ship!

It doesn't seem to be the first time Arisa has encountered this situation, and she is also very handy in commanding.

"Understood. ”

Upon receiving the order, Lorrain immediately spun the steering gear and pointed the ship at the two enemy ships in front of him with the bow.
