Chapter 644: Naval Battle (4)

The "Feiyang" frigate is an old-fashioned frigate of the 6601 type, and in order to avoid people's eyes, Leng Binghan did not remove the torpedo tubes on the ship's amidship and install "upstream" anti-ship missiles, so Wei Jinxu had to command the battleship to get closer in order to launch a more threatening attack on the "Mount Fuji."

And Ueno Daiki did not continue to order the attack on the "Feiyang" in an attempt to be able to capture the frigate as his own record to compensate for the negative impact of the sinking of the "Akitsu". But he never imagined that this frigate, which had been battered and had been judged by himself to be incapacitated, would be able to fire torpedoes again.

Thus, the two torpedoes were not detected until less than a hundred meters from the "Mt. Fuji", and it was too late to evade them urgently, and one torpedo hit the armor belt 15 meters behind the bow of the ship, causing no casualties. The second torpedo hit 3/4 of the hull and penetrated into the vicinity of the mechanical room and exploded.

I heard a loud "boom", like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and a huge column of water dozens of meters high was pulled up and soared into the sky. Almost at the same moment, the "Mt. Fuji" was torn through a huge opening, and thick smoke and fire erupted. The officers and soldiers who didn't have time to escape instantly turned into bloody people with mutilated bodies.

According to a confidential report by the Coast Guard, 87 officers and men of the destroyer Mt. Fuji were killed in the explosion, which led to the defeat of the entire naval battle.

A large amount of seawater poured into the ship through the gap caused by the torpedo, but fortunately, the power system of the destroyer "Mt. Fuji" was not damaged, and it was still a multi-layer watertight cabin structure, and the captain of the ship, Jiro Okada, immediately ordered the lateral passage to be closed, and at the same time sent maintenance personnel to urgently repair the hole, which avoided the doom of being sunk.

After being hit by the torpedo of the "Feiyang", the annoyed Ueno Daiki immediately ordered to hit the fire and sink the "Feiyang".

There was a boom in explosions, and several shells hit the "Feiyang", which had already suffered heavy damage, and the "Feiyang", which had suffered heavy casualties, was instantly like a blade with open teeth, and was hit everywhere with gaps. The entire hull of the ship was in shambles, flames raging, stumps and severed arms were everywhere, and the waves stirred up by the shells around them hit the deck, and suddenly turned blood red.

"Boom! Rumble! ”

Two more violent explosions were made, and one of the three "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles launched by the destroyer "Mt. Fuji" missed, while the other two pierced into the frigate "Feiyang" like a stinger, penetrating the ship and causing a violent explosion, which instantly tore the scarred battleship in half. The entire bow of the ship was instantly blown to pieces, and the glory was so glorious that it immediately robbed people of the sun's brilliance and pierced people's eyes. The surging sea water poured into the huge hole in the crushed bow of the ship, and in an instant, the front of the frigate "Feiyang" was violently submerged into the sea. In the blink of an eye, the sea was like a devouring beast, swallowing the frigate "Feiyang", which was more than 90 meters long, in one bite.

The sinking of the "Feiyang" made all the officers and men of the Sun-shooting fleet feel very dull and sad, but at the same time, it also aroused their hatred of the same enemy. Everyone thinks that they must avenge their comrades-in-arms, and they must not spare this hateful little devil.

Qin Zhonglin looked at the "Feiyang" that was only half still exposed on the sea, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten a little. The "Feiyang" frigate is one of the very few warships in the Japanese fleet that is really decommissioned and then purchased and transformed by Feiyuan, and there is a big gap between it and other warships in terms of performance and artillery equipment. However, such a frigate, which was not even equipped with anti-ship missiles, actually inflicted heavy damage on the enemy's flagship "Mt. Fuji" with its enthusiasm and torpedoes, which were already somewhat outdated for modern naval warfare.

Qin Zhonglin still clearly remembers that when he received the order to come to Diaoyu Island, Wei Jinxu was so excited that he didn't close his eyes all night, and knocked on the door of his dormitory in the middle of the night, so he had to talk to himself about his experience in fighting. This old navy, which sank the enemy's armed ship in the 88-year Sino-Y naval battle and made great achievements, finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish today, and once again composed an immortal hymn with his blood and unyielding fighting spirit.

Although the "Mt. Fuji" did not sink after being hit by a torpedo, its maneuverability was reduced a lot. Not only the damage caused by torpedoes to the hull, but also a large number of casualties, also affected the operation of the battleship.

Of course, the Japanese fleet refused to let go of this opportunity to beat the water dogs and avenge the "Feiyang", and launched an attack on the "Mt. Fuji" with firepower.

Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!

A deafening explosion followed. The explosive power of the shell, which weighs more than 400 kilograms, is quite terrifying, and after exploding in the seawater, it can lift a column of water more than 10 meters high, and if it hits a battleship, it will also give greater destructive power.

At the same time, various warships also launched anti-ship missiles, and for a time, the most advanced anti-ship missiles in various countries in the world today, such as the "Upstream Type 2," the "Eagle Strike 83," and the "Sunburn," also swarmed in.

Although the destroyer "Mt. Fuji" immediately fired a chaff shell and detonated three anti-ship missiles, it was still hit by four anti-ship missiles. A missile hit the radio and the fragments also wounded the gunners of the cannons, killing eight officers and men of the Navy. Two hit the armor plate and did not cause significant damage to the battleship. Another one hit the middle of the hull of the "Mt. Fuji" and exploded violently, causing sparks to fly and debris flying in all directions, killing and wounding more than a dozen officers and men of the R family.

Ueno Daiki hurriedly ordered the destroyer "Mt. Fuji" to turn left to avoid it, and let other warships come to support. However, due to the heavy damage and the serious attrition of the battleship, the battleship's maneuverability was greatly reduced. Therefore, the second volley of fire from the Japanese fleet, after more than ten seconds, came again.

A series of explosions sounded on the "Mt. Fuji", and in an instant, several secondary guns were destroyed, and the ammunition box was hit and exploded, causing a violent fire on the hull.

Seeing this, the "Nagoya," the frigate closest to the "Mt. Fuji," was well aware of the danger involved, so it rushed to its support, and while firing anti-ship missiles at the "Flying Heaven," it sped up and crossed the "Mt. Fuji" and the Japanese fleet.

Seeing that the "Mt. Fuji" could be sunk, but a "Nagoya" was suddenly killed, Qin Zhonglin was so hated that his eyes were red, and he immediately ordered the carrier-based helicopter gunships that had already taken off to launch anti-ship missiles at the "Mt. Fuji," and at the same time, hit the warships and attack the "Nagoya" with firepower.

The fire flashed, dozens of artillery pieces opened fire one after another, and the shells whistled and fired at the "Nagoya". With the rumbling sound of an explosion, countless brilliant fireworks burst into fire on the Nagoya. The blasting superstructure was blown beyond recognition, the engine room was destroyed, and the violent shock wave instantly threw the surrounding sailors into the sea.

The Japanese firing fleet then opened fire again, and several shells hit the center of the "Nagoya" at the same time, causing an even more violent explosion, and the column of smoke soared into the sky. The entire hull was plowed deep again, and the fierce flames engulfed everything in an instant.

A few minutes later, several shells simultaneously hit the starboard rear waterline belt of the "Nagoya", and the armor of the waterline belt was suddenly blown out of several huge holes, and the seawater poured in, and the hull of the ship suddenly tilted to the right.

The captain of the frigate, "Nagoya," Takeo Ito, hurriedly ordered the sailors to block the hole with a rubber sheet, but unfortunately, the main gun of the "Feiyun," another destroyer of the Japanese fleet that sailed to the left front of the "Nagoya," opened fire, and the two shells hit the rudder and tail waterline at the same time, and the rudder and tail waterline armor that was only more than 100 millimeters protected by the rudder and tail waterline was immediately penetrated, and then the violent explosion continuously penetrated the three-layer hatch, directly shattering the rotating bearing, and the "Nagoya" frigate immediately lost power.

In a naval battle, losing motivation is equivalent to losing one's life.

The captain of the ship, Ito Tsuo, who received the report, suddenly closed his eyes, and the staff officers on the side also shook their heads again and again, unable to return to the sky.

Of course, it was impossible to surrender, and although the "Nagoya" lost power, under the temperament of the crazy R himself, it still kept firing guns at the warships of the Japanese fleet and firing anti-ship missiles, with a posture of never dying.

The officers and men on the battleship also seemed to know that time was running out, and they stepped up to shoot all the shells on the battleship one by one, as if all these shells and missiles were things that did not cost money. The fear in their hearts also evolved into endless madness at this time, and it seemed that only by constantly firing the cannonballs could they get rid of the fear of death in their hearts.

The sun-shooting fleet, of course, would not be polite to it, and in a short time another salvo of fire, in which the entire starboard front of the battleship was completely shattered in the roaring explosion. A large amount of seawater poured in, causing the frigate to sink rapidly with its head down, the tail of the battleship raised high, and the huge oars spinning in the air, and before Ito and nearly 200 Japanese naval officers and men could react, their bodies were thrown to the ground heavily, and then quickly sank into the vast sea with the battleship.

After a while, only a huge whirlpool remained on the surface of the sea where the "Nagoya" frigate was originally located, and various remnants of the battleship floated out from time to time.

When Ueno Daiki saw that the "Nagoya" frigate had returned to cover him, and was glad that he had a chance to catch his breath, he was hit one after another by anti-ship missiles fired by several carrier-based helicopter gunships of the Japanese fleet. Although none of them hit the fatal spots, the damage was not serious, and three helicopter gunships were shot down using the equipped "standard" SM-2MR ship-to-air missiles. But before he had time to rejoice, he couldn't help but gasp when he saw the "Nagoya" frigate being magnificently sunk by the enemy.
