Chapter 0270: Fireworks

Looking at the anti-ship missiles that were approaching at high speed and were already close at hand, the pale-faced Kukawa Homasahiko and other Kaisa had boundless fear in their hearts.

"What's going on? This is Sasebo Bay, how could it be attacked?! Am I dreaming now? "Kukawa Masahiko felt that his head was not enough, he was completely helpless, and now in this situation he could only watch the anti-ship missile crash into his battleship at high speed!

A Type 90 anti-ship missile slammed into the shoreline of the Ashigara's island, and the anti-ship missile penetrated the relatively weak armor and burrowed into the hull, and then exploded. The 165 kilograms of high-explosive contained in the warhead instantly destroyed all the nearby compartments and ignited a raging fire. The force of the impact tore through the waterline armor, and the raging waters immediately poured into the Ashigara's cabin.

Another Type 90 anti-ship missile slammed into the stern of the Ashigara, penetrating the hull and exploding. The Type 90 anti-ship missile was even more destructive, not to mention the destruction of the nearby compartment, it also shattered the transmission system of the power compartment, and the Ashigara immediately lost most of its power supply.

Moreover, when the sea-skimming missile hit the Ashigara, it also blew a huge hole in the waterline of the ship's hull, and the roaring sea water instantly filled the compartment near the explosion point.

The Ashigara missile destroyer, which was hit by two anti-ship missiles, was heavily damaged, and at this moment the missile destroyer, with a full load displacement of up to 10,000 tons, was already on the verge of sinking.

About 80 kilometers to the west, on the nameless island of the Goto Islands, about 80 kilometers away from the Ashigara missile destroyer, Yang Peiqi had a laptop in front of him. The desktop of the computer shows two windows, both of which are filled with a scene of brilliant fireworks.

In fact. These two windows show the situation of the Ashigara and Atago, respectively.

At the same time that the Ashigara was attacked. The Atago, which was docked at Maizuru Naval Base, was also hit by the same attack. However, because the Atago was anchored at Maizuru Naval Base and most of the sailors had disembarked, the casualties caused by the attack were not significant.

Of course, also because the Atago was moored, its fate was even more miserable than that of the Ashigara. Because there were too few sailors left on duty on the ship, the Atago was completely incapable of fighting back when the missiles hit. Coupled with the fact that the place where Lee Tae-bok launched the missile was less than twenty kilometers from the Maizuru Naval Base, the time left for the Atago to react was almost zero. Therefore, the three Type 90 anti-ship missiles all hit the Atago, and all of them were fatal, especially one Type 90 anti-ship missile directly hit the ammunition depot on the Atago, triggering the detonation of the ammunition depot, and the violent explosion directly tore the giant ship with a full load displacement of up to 10,000 tons to pieces.

Moreover, the violent explosion also affected several other warships of the 3rd Maritime Self-Defense Force of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, which were also docked at the pier, and even destroyed many places at the Maizuru Naval Base. Judging from what Yang Peiqi saw in the video, this naval base will definitely not be usable if it has not been repaired for two or three months.

Obviously. The attack that Li Taifu was responsible for achieved better results than Yang Peiqi's side, which made Yang Peiqi a little depressed.

"Are you satisfied?" Explorer Eight asked.

Yang Peiqi looked at the burning and smoke of the USS Ashigara missile destroyer above the laptop window. and the USS Atago, a missile destroyer that had been reduced to endless fragments, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Not bad." It works pretty well. ”

Then he pointed to the window of the foot handle. Asked: "Is this destroyer still saved?" ”

"Wait, I'll scan it." Explorer Eight said.

Explorer Eight spoke. Li Taifu had already piloted the aircraft and docked on the shore not far from Yang Peiqi. It took only about five minutes for this super-vehicle, which travels at hypersonic speed in the atmosphere, to come from more than 500 kilometers away.

Although it flies at a very fast speed, when it stops, it is silent. This is because this kind of aircraft is not the same jet engine on the earth, but the vector thruster used, whether it takes off or lands, it is silent.

When the hatch of the aircraft opened, Explorer 8 also spoke: "There is a result, the missile destroyer has lost most of its power, and the ship's firefighting facilities and pumping facilities are not functioning. In a word, it's dead! ”

"Oh." Yang Peiqi closed the laptop, glanced at the aircraft not far away, and said softly, "Since that's the case, let's go back." ”

Yang Peiqi entered the aircraft with several super planes, and after the hatch closed again, this ultra-era vector aircraft quietly rose into the air and flew towards Huaxia at high speed.

A fishy sea breeze blew, and the beach fell silent, as if no one had ever been here.

……

On the side of the Ashigara missile destroyer, the other warships of the 2nd Escort Group of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, which had already reacted around them, had already quickly approached.

Several nearby warships threw their cables onto the Ashgara to provide it with external power, and the ship's water cannons were desperately spraying water into the burning cabin in an attempt to extinguish the Ashgara's deadly flames.

All the officers and men of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force are furious, who did this?!

It's just that the most important thing now is to save the most powerful warship of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force!

The two frigates quickly headed in the direction where the missiles were coming, and the helicopters on the escort warships also took off one after another, laying a tight protective net around the formation.

Submarines under the surface of the sea enter a state of silence, and the submarine-launched missiles are all activated and ready to be launched at any time.

The ships have reached the highest state of combat readiness, and all missile radars are fully activated, ready for the next wave of possible attacks!

At the same time, the news of the attack on the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force by an unknown force was immediately sent to Nagasaki, Kyoto City, and Tokyo.

……

At Maizuru Naval Base, the fierce flames are still burning, but the Atago has disappeared from this world, leaving only a few scattered wreckage on the surface of the sea.

Not only that, but several warships of the 3rd Escort Group of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force were also moored in the naval base, including the helicopter destroyer Shirane and the guided missile destroyer Matsuba.

In other words, the entire Third Escort Group of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force was basically wiped out, and only one missile destroyer was left, the Ryoami, and this destroyer also suffered heavy damage, but it was not sunk. This unlucky kid doesn't want to go to sea without undergoing a major overhaul.

The Seventh Escort Group of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, another fleet of the 3rd Escort Group of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, which was also anchored at the Maizuru Naval Base, also suffered considerable losses. However, because the place where its battleships were anchored was generally far away from the Atago, no capital ships were sunk by the violent explosion, but they were only slightly injured.

Sasebo Bay, the second convoy group of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force Here, the other warships of the second convoy group, including the guided missile destroyer Chokai (Kongo-class), have quickly approached. Several battleships gathered nearby threw cables onto the Ashigara to provide it with external power, and the ship's water cannons were desperately spraying water into the burning cabin in an attempt to extinguish the raging flames.

The Ashigara faces two deadly dangers.

The first is the growing fire, the solid fuel carried by the Type 90 anti-ship missile burns so terrifyingly that even hard ship armor can be melted at high temperatures. The fire not only destroyed various equipment, but also damaged numerous systems, including electricity, power, life support systems, cabin connections, etc., and the fierce flames and smoke engulfed hundreds of officers and soldiers of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

The management loss team members who rushed into the fire scene in heavy asbestos firefighting suits couldn't even hold on for ten seconds, and the high temperature of solid fuel couldn't stop it at all! The fire spread rapidly and soon approached the power compartment and hangar. Due to the lack of electricity, most of the watertight hatches could not be closed, and the fire burrowed into the various chambers along numerous passages.

In desperation, the officers and men of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force had to rely on manual closure of these watertight gates, and most of these brave Maritime Self-Defense Force officers and soldiers did not return alive.

In addition to the increasingly uncontrollable fires, another deadly danger to the Ashigara was the large amount of sea water rushing in.

There were two huge holes near the waterline, and they were also on the same side, and a large number of water inlet guides gradually began to tilt the hull. Due to the lack of electricity, most of the pumping machines are unusable, and the rate of water inflow is significantly higher than the pumping rate. In addition, because many watertight doors on the side of the fire could not be closed, with the crazy infusion of seawater, the tilt of the ship's hull gradually became larger and larger!

Also because of the lack of power, he was knocked to the ground by the impact of the explosion, and the order to fill the other side of the cabin with water to maintain the balance of the battleship did not work.

The sea-tight door on the other side of the road can't be opened at all, which is not something that can be done manually.

As time passed, the stilt of the foothandle became more and more wide. The fire, which had been uncontrollable, finally poured into the helicopter hangar, the aviation gasoline stored in the hangar, and various types of missile weapons were detonated one after another, and the explosion of "dong dong dong" continued to sound inside the ashgara, and finally even the solid flight deck was penetrated by the shock wave of the violent explosion.

The ignited aviation gasoline added to the fire, and the entire battleship smoked in all directions, and long tongues of fire erupted from the various exits of the raging flames.

The battleship is no longer saved. (To be continued......)
