vs 27 Battle of Tsushima - A net of fire from heaven
At a distance of five hundred meters, it was very advantageous for the "Gale class", with up to 20 60-mm guns on each battleship spewing out thick clouds of black smoke.
Howling shells swept across the sea and landed around the Fuso battleship, raising columns of water. Occasionally, a single bullet hits the ship, either bursting into flames or flying up a canopy of fragments. Some of the Fuso sailing ships were ignited with gunpowder, and the black figures jumped into the icy sea one after another.
The iron cannons on the Fuso ship also kept spitting out tongues of fire. At a distance of 500 meters, the Fuso ship is equipped with a Franc cannon, and the three guns are loaded with medicine and ammunition in turn, and put into the chamber to aim and shoot, which can shoot quickly and relatively accurately.
Fortunately, the scattered lead pellets had no effect on the "Gale Class" at all, and most of the solid shells slid over the composite armor to form ricochets with no lethal effect. Even so, it also caused individual casualties to the Shenzhou Army.
"Sir, each ship reported that there was a specific data ...... casualties!"
When the staff officer reported to Huang Kehui, he was a little confused, he did not understand the commander's plan. It is said that the 1647 Thor-J cannon has a maximum range of 1,600 meters, which is enough to shell the imperial court beyond the effective range of the artillery on the enemy ship, and can successfully complete the task with zero casualties, but this ......, he is sad for the more than a dozen officers and soldiers killed and injured in the close-range artillery battle.
Huang Kehui remained silent, his face was as calm as water, and his expression did not change at all.
At this moment, in his mind in front of the command platform, he had already put down the plan when he was confronting the enemy's main force and tried his best to deal with the battle situation in front of him. It was not that the situation of the battle was reversed, on the contrary, the situation was very good, and more than 60 of the enemy's troop carriers were compressed on a small piece of sea, and each warship was very close to each other to form an ideal narrow formation.
Looking at the ever-changing formation on the command platform, Huang Kehui nodded to Sun Mingyang on the side and asked him to issue an order.
Sun Mingyang has been following Huang Ke for not a day or two, and the communication between the two has reached such a tacit understanding that they don't need words. When he was the first mate of the "Fury Tide Class", when he followed this captain to suppress pirates in the "China Sea", he already knew that this captain was a master who did not care about the rest in order to achieve the goal, and he was a fierce general and a ruthless general.
In his words: "Zero-casualty war? Bullshit! There are still immortals in war. Therefore, his boldness and ruthlessness in the naval battle have been deeply implanted in Sun Mingyang's mind, and this time in the face of such a powerful enemy army, he is afraid that he is the only one who dares to do so.
Huang Kehui's fingers were on the combat table, knocking "ticking", and he turned his head to look outside the porthole. But everywhere as far as the eye could see, it was all covered tightly by composite armor, and I had no choice but to imagine what kind of effect my "creativity" would receive.
Above the sea, there is a somewhat strange picture. The destroyer's low, geometric hull painted in protective colors made it look small on the sea, especially the empty mainmast, which made the "Gale class" look inconspicuous. It was these warships that were forcing the Fuso warships with their flags fluttering together.
Behind them, more Fuso warships, which had the upper hand, were divided into left and right wings, and rushed towards them in formation. At the same time, the Nine Demons Naobo led a large group of Fuso warships to Tsushima Island, and until now, he still thought that more than 60 warships should be able to gain the upper hand in the artillery battle.
The swift "Gale-class" destroyers were like a flock of shepherds, squeezing the formation of the Fuso warship into a long line. Powerful firepower drove back all the enemy ships that had left the group. The five-point plum blossom array of the Fusang warship was completely dispersed, and they had to move closer to the middle with poor mobility, and the "one-word long array" that Huang Kehui had been looking forward to was formed all day long.
With the "ticking" of his fingertips on the battle table, two continuous tongues of fire (two rocket launchers) erupted from each Gale class. It's just that this time, instead of concentrating on an enemy ship as before, the rocket artillery is scattered towards that part of the sea.
The soldiers on the Fuso warship were stunned, they stopped what they were doing, tilted their heads and opened their mouths, looking at them as they were likely to see only one "wonder" at this moment.
Tongues of fire in the sky dragged feather-like tail smoke and made a sharp sound, and the black smoke trails formed in the sky were like a large net covering them. Before the crew of the Fuso ship could turn the look of surprise on their faces into extreme fear, the shells had already fallen on them and in formation.
The low roar of the exploding shells in the sea stirred up a high column of water around the ship, and like a heavy rain in the sky, it poured on the sailors on the Fuso ship. The heat was immediately drained by the icy sea, and the sailors were bruised and their teeth "rattled", shivering in the cold and hard north-west wind blowing from Siberia, while secretly rejoicing in their good fortune.
More ships, hit by shells. The 100-millimeter rocket, with a screaming trail of flames, plunged headlong into the deck and detonated below deck. The upper deck bulged out in a strange shape, as if a large hand had folded the Fuso iron ship in two.
The sailors didn't have time to exhale their last exclamation before they were thrown into the sky by the blast of air. Almost instantly, this small stretch of sea was covered with 1,080 rockets. Seawater, gunsmoke, and flames rose from the surface of the sea at the same time, and it seemed that someone had angered the sleeping monster in the sea, and it used the means of turning the river and the sea upside down.
When the water falls, the smoke is carried away by the sea breeze. More than 30 of the more than 60 Fuso iron ships have disappeared, and the remaining more than 10 are slowly sinking, taking advantage of the smoke and fire rising from the ships, you can see the figures rushing towards the final place of their lives.
Since the ship was carrying most of the Fuso attacking Tsushima Army, Huang Kehui ventured to shoot at close range and succeeded. More than 10,000 troops on land have gone down to the sea with their weapons. Above the sea, it was crowded for a while, they swam desperately, and more people whimpered in the icy sea water with their last ** and sank to the surface of the sea.
More people swam to the ships that were still floating on the sea, hoping to be saved. However, these warships, which were already fully loaded, were now either on fire in the broken sails, or the big holes in the hull were flooding, and they had no time to take care of them. They were left to struggle in the icy waters. What's even worse is that after the rocket artillery salvo, there are still shells that continue to fall on their warship with a miserable tail.
At this time, if the missing shell explodes in the water, the rising sea water is not as white as before. It seems that there is so much blood and water that this sea area is almost a sea of blood, and the rising water column seems to have a slight red.
