Chapter 274: Sinking the Japanese Destroyer
As the commander, Han Feng is not only a positional, spiritual officer, but also technical.
He was the first to look at a Japanese destroyer.
Modern sighting equipment can accurately shoot all elements in just a few seconds.
There is a question here, observe.
Hanfeng artillery, in the ruins of ordinary blocks, the terrain is not tall, and it is not the artillery heights that should be.
Looking to the north, through the tall city walls, under normal circumstances, ordinary people would not be able to detect and aim.
The artillery had to be moved to the high ground, and how long would it take to delay such a bulky non-self-propelled gun? Once exposed to the high ground, I am afraid that the Japanese army will be the first to discover it, triggering a fierce blow from the Japanese artillery!
This is extremely dangerous.
Now, there is no need for such risks!
Using the special ability of perspective, Han Feng directly aimed at the enemy and achieved physical isolation and sighting!
The enemy's warships were all on the Yangtze River, and they had a large fleet to blockade the river, protect the Japanese fleet, and transport ammunition and supplies from the Songhu area to Jinling.
Three destroyers, four cruisers, two battleships, a large group of gunboats.
Originally, these fleets would continue to advance westward along the Yangtze River, cooperate with the army units, and further invade the Chinese mainland, but now, because the Hanfeng troops suddenly rose up, rescued a large number of prisoners, mobilized a large number of civilians, and severely damaged the Japanese army, forcing the Japanese army to anchor the naval fleet on the north river to cooperate with the army and attack the Hanfeng troops.
The Japanese fleet is mighty!
In particular, the large-caliber heavy artillery on battleships and cruisers profoundly threatened the Chinese army in the city, and the Japanese army artillery and bomber clusters became the three heavy hammers on the heads of the Chinese army, forcing them to burrow into the tunnels to avoid their edge.
Han Feng decided to destroy the enemy's fleet as soon as possible, eliminate the threat on the enemy's river, and blow the enemy's morale!
One by one, he personally adjusted his observations.
Sixteen huge guns, divided into two clusters, were aimed at two destroyers.
Why hit destroyers?
Because enemy destroyers, relatively small, are easy to sink.
Sink and annihilate to shock the enemy even more.
I'm afraid that the battleship is not easy to sink, so simply, give up one side first.
After the adjustment, Han Feng sent a firm and powerful shout to the commanders of the sixteen artillery groups: "Fire!" ”
The artillery crews, immediately pounced, entered their respective combat posts, and without hesitation, fired.
Boom, boom, boom.
Bursts of earth-shattering loud noises, clouds of gunpowder smoke, and whistling cannonballs rose into the air!
After the launch, all the artillery officers and men had their ears plugged in advance, and they had to quickly cover them with their hands and spread their mouths so as not to shock themselves.
Han Feng's face was grim, observing the north.
Every artillery group had personnel watching, and they could only climb to the ruins of nearby buildings, the remnants of some high-rise buildings, and overlook the river outside the city.
At this time, on the Japanese battleship, the commander of the detachment was a rear admiral, who was raising the flag, and on the deck of the fleet, the officers and men were white ants.
The battle in the city, they already know.
However, their telegram requesting reinforcements was rejected by the army commander in the city.
They were asked not to fire for the time being.
This is because the Chinese army must be given enough confidence to induce them to leave the underground tunnels further, and only by staying away can they get out of the safe zone, so that the Japanese army can only be effective if they attack and bomb fiercely.
Otherwise, as soon as the cannon sounded, the Chinese army swished and drilled into the tunnel again, so many shells, it was also blind!
The tactics of the Japanese army commander were correct, and the fleet commander had no objections, so he simply waited for news at a leisurely pace.
When the heavy artillery unit of the Miyamoto Wing of the Japanese army was devastated by the Hanfeng artillery, the upper fleet of the Japanese army, separated by the tall city walls, could not observe the actual situation in the city, and they thought that the Japanese heavy artillery was bombarding the Chinese army.
There was an objection, worried about this "why did the shells not take off from the artillery of the Miyamoto Wing in the east, but land there?" Could it be that they were attacked by the enemy? ”
The officer's doubts were ridiculed by a crowd.
"Hasegawa-kun, does the Shina army in the castle have heavy artillery? You hear that, right? This is completely field heavy artillery, the caliber is definitely more than 120 mm! ”
"Yes, don't say that there is no now, that is, the entire army of China is gone, and theirs have all been consumed in the Battle of Songhu! Ha ha! ”
"I guess the reason why the army doesn't approve of our help must be a new method!"
"You're so depressed!"
The officer was immediately discouraged.
Of course, while cynical, some Japanese officers suddenly began to wonder why the shells were flying towards the positions of the Miyamoto wing in the east. Could it be that they committed suicide?
In the midst of the paralyzing carelessness and strange guesses of the officers of the Japanese naval fleet, suddenly, they heard even more intense artillery fire!
All the Japanese officers and men looked up, listening and observing in amazement.
Many people exclaimed at the first time.
Because they are veterans.
They have a deep understanding of the meaning of artillery fire.
That's the god of war, that's the hellfire of destruction!
In their eyes, a dozen shells, with a huge roar, rose in the air and fell from the sky!
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God."
"Oops, what's that? Why? ”
"I'm right, I'm right?"
"Help!"
The Japanese army was shocked, shocked, shocked!
Something they never dreamed of really happened!
A swarm of shells, whistling with an indestructible momentum, smashed violently.
It's suffocating, it's bold, it's despairing!
The Japanese officers and men on the river had no chance to evade at all, so they could only resign themselves to fate.
They prayed that all the shells fired by the Chinese would be smashed on the surface of the river and wasted.
Yes, the Chinese have such poor artillery technology, how can they harm the Imperial Navy fleet in one fell swoop?
From the initial panic, to sudden fantasies, and finally, to watch the cluster of shells bombard two destroyers!
On each destroyer, eight shells of 150 mm caliber cannons were hit!
Precise aiming, no mistakes, no deviation!
All hit the target!
Suddenly, on the surrounding rivers, battleships, cruisers, gunboats, transport ships, all kinds of large, medium and small warships, in front of the eyes of thousands of Japanese officers and soldiers, a miracle happened!
The hit rate of the shelling of the Chinese army, one hundred percent!
This is unimaginable!
The naval fleet may not be able to hit a single shot with dozens or hundreds of hits, but the Chinese army actually hit all 16 shells in one battle!
Boom, boom
The behemoth destroyer, like a small rotten wooden toy, was torn apart in an instant and exploded.
