Chapter 11 NH Decisive Battle - For the Glory of Victory

The battleship Suhime was given special expectations, and the will of the deep sea noticed the difference between her from the beginning, so she deliberately "gave birth" herself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Given with solid armor and extreme naval guns, she never felt tired during the battle, and the thirty main gun barrels were always in the best condition. It's all the blessings bestowed upon her by the will of the deep sea, making her a perfect battleship.

"Sink it! Sink it all for me! ”

The attack of the battleship Suhime's hard-topped carrier-based aircraft in the sky gradually broke away from the queue, and she swept through the fleet led by Nagato with a shocking salvo.

Kii finally cleared the deep-sea ship that was blocking her and aimed her guns at the battleship Suhime.

The sinking of several ships made Kii's heart ache, many of them of her age, and it was unbearable for Kii to be taken so easily.

Kii's armor-piercing shell hit the hull on the other side of the battleship, and more cracks appeared on it, but it didn't stop there.

The battleship Suhime felt punched twice on the bow deck, and it was slightly more painful than Nagato's naval guns.

“…… Kii? Useless, battleships that can defeat me do not exist. ”

The battleship Suhime continued to shoot at the many optional targets ahead, and no one could stop her, including the pilot who tried to ram her with the carrier-based aircraft, and her hull was more than enough to withstand it. It is not distressing that equipment such as secondary guns and anti-aircraft machine guns are blown up, but the battleship Suhime hopes that Nagato, Kii, and the carrier-based aircraft of the aircraft carrier will waste ammunition in these aspects.

A salvo can fire 30 large-caliber shells, and the confidence of the battleship Suhime comes from this, and the fleet she brought and the newly built team that supports the supplement can be wiped out together, anyway, they are all mass products, and if you can sink one more of the opponent, it is a sure deal.

"Nagato-sama, Kikasa has been shot many times and is no longer able to fight. In addition, Lingba, Hatsuharu, Kiso, and Kuma have been shot and need to retreat. ”

Nagato's subordinates kept receiving messages from other ships, but Nagato himself could see that conventional ships could not fight under the guns of the battleship Suhime. Unlike the battleship-class deep-sea ships, the battleship Suhime has a high hit rate, and it is possible to be sunk with a single bullet. Even Nagato himself had already been shot three times, and it was all luck to dodge important parts.

"Kii is also shooting hard, the enemy's armor is already full of cracks, and it is at this moment to break her armor!"

Nagato followed the course of the battleship Suhime, successfully hit the hull of the battleship Suhime, and successfully made a big hole in the hull of the battleship Suhime.

Large swaths of black-gray armor were peeling off, and the battleship Suhime roared in pain, feeling her life threatened.

“…… Inadequate...... Inadequate! Trying to break through my armor by numbers? Until then, it's enough for me to sink you first. The battleship Suhime ignored his pet, reestimated the trajectory, and fired continuously at Nagato.

The distance between the two ships has been shortened to 28,000 meters, and with the superb gunnery of the two men, every salvo can hit each other.

Although their colleagues have already shown what will happen to approaching the battleship Suhime, they will still lie to themselves on the grounds that "the number of wingmen has decreased, and the air defense capability of the battleship Suhime has been weakened", so they can only deceive themselves and let the Eagle and Hayabusa allow them to carry out a life-or-death attack.

"Cut...... It's annoying. ”

The battleship Qi Ji's blood-red eyes caught the carrier-based aircraft trying to get close to her, and she was not even afraid of the 800 kg bomb at the limit of the comet-type, and she didn't pay attention to the 99 ship explosion at all.

The battleship Qi Ji immediately changed to a number of anti-air shotguns, and exploded a barrage in the sky, sweeping away the carrier-based aircraft in the sky.

"So...... It's useless, it's better to keep trying to slowly break through my armor with naval guns. ”

Kii luckily hit the battleship Suhime standing at the bow of the ship, and she also saw the strength of the deep-sea Suhime for the first time. Her shells exploded, leaving deep and shallow craters on the deck, while the battleship Suhime was only bent on one knee and could still stand.

The battleship Qihime saw the reconnaissance plane flying high in the sky for the first time, she gritted her teeth and patted the dust on her body, and roared at the reconnaissance plane like no one.

Another volley of fire over a large area, as the main target, the stern of the Nagato was grazed with two shells, and the huge force alone easily broke the flagpole of the stern of the Nagato, and cut off some edges and corners of the stern part of the Nagato.

Nagato grabbed the console with both hands, and didn't fall into a horizontal position like his subordinates. "We're lucky, fighting a monster like this, luck works better than protection."

In fact, Nagato himself temporarily fine-tuned the course and "passed by" the dangerous shells, and her self-deprecation only brought courage to herself and her subordinates, if you were afraid of death, there was no need to fight this battle again.

Behind the Nagato, another heavy cruiser, Nachi, was shot. The Ghost Fury next to it was hit at the front of the bridge with a single shot, and the armor-piercing bullet like a shovel knife penetrated the hull of the Ghost Fury, and the entire bridge was overturned by the explosion.

The fire spread across the two ships, Nachi's fire was not large, and it was quickly controlled, and as for the oni fury, his ship's mother did not hear back no matter how Nagato shouted.

"Removal ......"

Nagato wanted to give the order to retreat, but now there were too many damaged ships, and he had to wait for the second round of air raids in the 1st and 5th air battles to suppress or abandon the damaged ships. This is not a land battlefield, where the commander can retreat and give orders, and there are many flexible ways to get out of the battlefield. The smallest unit of naval warfare is a ship, and if you want to return after the speed drops, you must be towed by another ship.

Kii, who was still fighting bravely, made Nagato give up the idea of retreating, and since he had the opportunity, how did he know that he would fail if he didn't try.

Even Nagato began to bet her victory on unreliable luck in her heart, and she clearly knew that with the current battle situation, if even she was sunk, even if the battleship Suhime ceased fire, the remaining deep-sea ships could cause great damage to the fleet.

"Keep firing, for the glory of victory!"

The barrel of the cannon cooled by force, and Nagato felt the limit of her strength, and she estimated that if she fired four to six more rounds, the barrel would reach the carrying limit.

Kii's volleys from Nagato left cracks all over the ship's hull, and her armor plates began to peel off, revealing the unique design of her double-layered armor. Looking at the British Empire, which had the most advanced shipbuilding technology, it would not have designed an overweight double-armored battleship.

"And then? Do you have any energy left? But I don't feel tired at all! ”

The battleship Suhime deliberately discarded all the fragments of the damaged outer armor to meet the attack of Kii and other ships with an intact hull. According to her predictions, the ships of the IJN Combined Fleet are almost at the limit of battle, and the battleship Suhime has admired her opponent by now - she is not afraid to use her as an enemy.

Kii wanted to continue firing, and she still had ammunition stock, but the barrels of her main guns were overheated, and the wear and tear had been ignored.

"Attack, retreat. It is believed that Nagato is already preparing for a retreat. The deep-sea fleet has been wiped out by 80%, and there are less than 20 left. Regrouping and fighting again is also a viable approach. If you want to deal with a battleship, the only way that can work at the moment is attrition tactics. Sato Gonjun had already guessed the reason from Kii's sudden expression, and he was most worried about this incident, and the continuous battle had first polished the combat effectiveness of their side.

Kii thought calmly for a minute, and radioed Nagato to inform her situation, even if she continued to fight, it would only sink a few deep-sea ships, and there was no need to continue grinding against the salvo of the battleship Suhime's full firepower.

"I see, and so do I. The barrel is badly worn, and it is possible to blow up the bore if it is fired again. ”

Nagato's reply gave Kii some comfort, not because she was not heroic enough, but because she had to choose the most suitable strategic retreat for objective reasons.

Kii refocused on the deep-sea ships guarding the battleship Suhime, whose speed and shooting accuracy had dropped significantly compared to the beginning of the war, and it was estimated that even these deep-sea ships had a limit, and they were lower than ordinary ships.

Before the time reached 1 o'clock in the afternoon, Kii and Nagato formed horns to facilitate the retreat of the ships in the rear, and at the same time ensure that the deep-sea ships could not approach.

However, the battleship Suhime maintained a high level of artillery accuracy, constantly bombarding the water near Kii and Nagato, and occasionally grazing the Nagato's hull and leaving shrapnel on it.

Kii had the idea of blocking it alone, but on the one hand, he was worried that his identity would be discovered, and on the other hand, he also believed that Nagato's pride would not allow his juniors to take on the task of breaking off.

Nagato himself was also worried about Kii's condition, and although Kii's luck seemed to be very good, if he was hit head-on by a shell from the battleship Suhime, it would definitely be a nerve-wracking injury.

Just as the two of them were thinking hard about how to deal with it, the battleship Suhime once again exerted its might and increased its speed, attempting to attack the ships behind the two ships. And Kii finally discovered the weakness of the battleship Suhime - her deck did not have a double layer of solid armor plates, and she just paid too much attention to the battleship Suhime's body and the sides of the ship's hull, ignoring the deck that had been deformed by herself.

Kii used the last batch of armor-piercing shells on his ship to shoot cannonballs at the battleship Suhime heading head-on. Multiple parabolas crossed the deck of the battleship Suhime, although most of them hit the ship's structures such as the stronger main guns and the worthless secondary guns. However, two shells managed to burrow into the deck of the battleship Suhime and detonate the ammunition depot of the battleship Suhime.

Kii never expected that he would have a chance to bring a reversal victory, and the rear deck of the battleship Suhime exploded and caught fire in his sight, and the 400-meter-long black hull also showed obvious tilt and sinking that could be distinguished by the naked eye.

"It's our win!"

Although it is not enough to defeat the battleship Suhime, it is enough to drag the other party, and it will be much easier to start a battle against her in the future, and being detonated is a heavy blow to the battleship.

“…… I am... No... Shen..."

Kii clearly heard the voice from the battleship Suhime, with a deep resentment.

The battleship Suhime opened fire again, and her two main guns were silent, but the other eight were still usable.
