Chapter 39 The Second NH Operation-A Magnificent Movement of Naval Artillery
["Why am I different from my friends and not a base-type perch? ”
"Because it's not suitable for you to follow the orders of Long Xing of Huakaiyuan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”】
At that time, she was seen through her inner thoughts at a glance, and the battleship Suhime surrendered to the will to create her mother, the deep sea. From a long time ago, she didn't believe in Long Xing in Huakaiyuan, and looked down on the high-IQ "strategist" from a poor family.
Everything will be calculated by him, and even how much potential a person can burst out in a critical moment is all calculated in his strategy. For this kind of person, the battleship Suhime or the former Mito Hyozaburo is extremely disgusted. If it weren't for the presence of Sanjo Ji Lin, she would have squeezed Long Xing out of the team a long time ago.
The battlefield is the most brilliant stage for every samurai. Combat is an art, and a samurai is all about. Being quantitatively calculated, she was disgusted by the battleship Qi Ji from the bottom of her heart.
Therefore, the battleship Qi Ji has always hoped that the former Sanjo Ji Lin would guide him, rather than the cold-blooded Hua Kaiyuan Long Xing. At least when Keiji Nishikawa was afraid of death and withdrew, Sanjo Jilin would not show a murderous look like he was like Long Xing in the Flower Garden.
You can say to your friends that you can turn your face and turn your face, and the battleship Qi Ji will not admit to letting that kind of person command herself!
"Are you coming...... My dear friend......"
Through the real-time video transmitted from the submarine, the battleship Suhime saw the figure of the Kii in the IJN battleship fleet. If possible, she would also like to control the battleship as a ship's mother and fight for the battlefield for the motherland.
Touching the image screen with her fingers, the battleship Suhime kept switching perspectives, admiring the crystallization of the six people's hard work. When you try to touch the ship, you can only pass your fingers through the screen. "How beautiful it is, to make people look at this battleship and praise it from the bottom of their hearts - this is how a battleship should be. My dear friend...... You're in luck......"
The battleship Suhime's pet "vacuum cleaner" seemed to have finished eating food again, and suddenly ran in front of the battleship Suhime, stretched out his big tongue, and crawled on the deck, begging for food from the battleship Suhime.
Disturbed to enjoy Yaxing, the battleship Qiji turned off the real-time video in turn. She reached out and touched the smooth top of her pet's head, calming her emotions.
"It's time for the battle, so if you want food, go find it in the freezer yourself. When this battle is over, I will send someone to find you something fresh. ”
The "vacuum cleaner" ran into the cabin in the direction of the battleship Suhime's finger, it has intelligence close to that of humans, and it is very suitable to be used as a pet.
"Remember to eat less, if you eat too much frozen food, you will have diarrhea."
Battleship Suhime doesn't expect her pet to open the freezer and thaw it before feasting on it, and it's nice not to jump headlong into the freezer and bite it.
Forgetting the superfluous things for a while, the battleship Suhime regained her cold gaze. "The whole fleet, prepare to attack!"
All 330 ships surfaced under her orders, and the makeshift port would take another two days to build, but unfortunately there was no point in continuing to build.
Rather than waiting for the aircraft carrier to recuperate, her enemies planned to engage in a battleship-centric battle with her battleship, Suhime.
"Show humanity our power."
Every ship opened its bright red eyes, and several battleships even had a golden glow in their eyes. Her warship Suhime gained a lot of human resentment by capturing Australia, all of which she used to train her fleet.
"I've seen their deaths......"
The howls of the deep-sea ships came and went, and they responded to the battleship Suhime's desire to fight, willing to sacrifice everything for her.
――――
Not only Kii, but almost all the ship's maidens heard the howl coming from ahead, which was harsh and noisy.
They all realized that it was the deep-sea fleet that was sending out the excitement before the battle, and that they were communicating their belief in the battle through their voices.
The waves became turbulent, and even the sky changed from its previous blue to a gloomy gray-black. The wind carried an unpleasant smell that conveyed a bone-chilling chill to both ships.
“…… Here it comes! It's the enemy's advance team! ”
The Fuso signaled from the right side of the queue, and Admiral Nishimura was the first to give the order for the shelling. Two battleships with unique bridges bombarded the discovered deep-sea ships with naval guns, and soon news came that the enemy heavy cruiser-class ships had been sunk.
Followed by Chiyoda and Chitose seaplane carriers at the tail of the group, their seaplanes have spotted a large number of deep-sea submarines gathering here.
"Yamato, don't rush to change armor-piercing shells to attack yet, it is likely that the deep-sea fleet intends to use heavy cruiser ships to consume our energy."
Sousuke Takayanagi read the information from each team one by one, and conveyed instructions like Yamato on the side. "The enemy is a large battleship, and he must know how to fight battleships, so you have to keep that in mind. Although the 46CM main gun is the strongest known naval gun, it can easily cause heat in the chamber when fired continuously. Let the other ships attack first, and then how you fight is up to you. ”
"Yes, Yamato understands."
Kii also spotted the enemy ship through her reconnaissance plane, and under her successive bombardments, a suspected battleship-class ship was sunk by her. Just as she was trying to confirm the wreck, multiple shells landed between the fleets. The Fuso was unfortunately hit at the stern of the ship, and its speed dropped slightly.
The Eagle reconnaissance plane swept over the sea and immediately spotted a neat battlefleet hiding under the clouds.
The 30 Tsuya-class and Tsu-class ships formed two horizontal columns, aiming at Sousuke Takayanagi's battleship fleet with full guns at high elevation angles.
The distance is about 30,000 meters, which is close to the conventional distance for launching battleship fire.
The Maizuru garrison team to which Ise and Hyuga belonged sent a proposal to face the battle, and Sosuke Takayanagi hesitated for a moment, then decided to deflect the course and meet the enemy on the flank. If these 30 battleship-class deep-sea ships are allowed to go around their backs, they will be surrounded by the deep-sea fleet, and the fleet will be at a disadvantage.
Kii was the first to fire back, relying on the excellent performance of the triple 41CM main gun, and her firepower was second only to Yamato.
"The hit rate is estimated at 18 percent, separated by 30,000 meters. Kii actually has such a high hit rate. "Yamato saw the results of Kii's attack with his own reconnaissance plane, and after a round of shelling, two Yamato-class ships were hit by bullets and caught fire.
Kii's reconnaissance plane was not in this direction, and she relied entirely on her own electric reconnaissance team to correct the firing angle of the ship's guns.
"You can't lose to Maizuru's colleagues, so speed up the reload. Keep attacking! ”
Kii recalibrated the firing angle while giving orders to the gunners, and now she is very good at firing naval guns. In this decisive battle in the New Hebrides, she still intends to be the protagonist. It just so happens that the Yamato is nearby, and she wants to prove that she has already experienced many naval battles and is far better than a ship girl who is a secretary.
He hit the target 9 times in a row, and in just 20 minutes, Kii sank 7 battleship-class ships on the opposite side, while the two Ise-class ships combined only sank 4.
Yamato then turned the barrel of the gun and fired at the battleship-class ships that appeared.
Previously, 30 black battleships were sunk one after another, and they were about to be destroyed. The Hyuga, on the other hand, was hit by two shells, and one of the main guns could not be turned; The Yamashiro was destroyed by a heavy cruiser-class enemy ship with a secondary gun, and the bridge was also attacked. These losses are negligible compared to the results of the battle. The capital ships Yamato and Kii sailed unscathed at the forefront of the fleet, launching a deadly artillery bombardment on the detachment of deep-sea warships that had reached 18,000 meters.
In the end, except for 8 ships that retreated and escaped, 15 of the 30 battleship-class enemy ships were sunk, and 7 were heavily damaged and lost the ability to move.
"The enemy ships that have lost their combat effectiveness do not need to be pursued, and the fleet continues to advance at the target point." Seeing that the threat was gone, Sosuke Takayanagi decided to turn again to avoid wasting time.
According to the intelligence, the deep-sea fleet originally had more than 70 battleship-class ships, but about 10 were sunk by the previous series of air raids, and another 15 were consumed in the battle with the second echelon.
There are less than 50 battleship-class deep-sea ships in the hands of the battleship Qi Ji, and now minus more than 20 ships, the number of remaining warships in her fleet is only about 20.
Very simple addition and subtraction, Sousuke Takayanagi didn't expect the enemy to divide his forces to fight, if it wasn't 30 but 50 battleships plus herself just now, maybe the situation would be very different.
Ten heavy cruisers, led by a group of mines, appeared in a fan shape, so fast that the ships in front were in an encirclement when they were spotted.
"Target, the biggest! Staggered enemy formations! Draw as much firepower as you can! ”
The battleship Suhime surfaced, and she was located 45,000 meters in the sea directly in front of the Yamato. There are only a few evictions and light patrols around.
The ten 16-inch triple main guns were all erected at a strange ultra-high elevation angle, and after the battleship Suhime reconfirmed the target position through the image transmitted by the submarine, the 30 main guns played the music of death at the same time.
When the shells fell on Yamato, the ship's observers hurriedly searched for traces of the enemy ship, followed the trajectory of the ballistics, and saw nothing.
The shells blasted multiple columns of water around the Yamato, and the ships behind were also shocked by the neat shelling that burst in, each with a delay lead, and if the time was calculated correctly, the scattered shrapnel alone could have severely damaged the Yamato in range.
Only one shell hit the Yamato, and although Yamato herself was fine, a large hole had been smashed out of her deck, and she almost hit the power compartment where the boiler was located.
"Cut, only one shot?" The battleship Suhime clearly saw from the image that the shells fell into the Yamato, making a muffled sound, but the speed of the Yamato was not affected, only the hull shook slightly.
"Forget it, it's not my character to rely on luck."
The battleship Suhime activated her radar group and included Kii and other battleships in her range of enemy hunting. There is no need to take off the reconnaissance plane at all, she can shoot accurately. With the exception of Kii, all the ships were her target, and she was confident that she would take on six ships by herself.
