Chapter 268: Sinking the Japanese ship Saikyo Maru
"Fart! At this time, the combined fleet of the Japanese army still has to negotiate with us. Zheng Dingbang thought it was very funny and ordered: "Ignore him and let him go immediately!" ”
Dense small-caliber shells smashed hard in front of the Kitty Hawk.
However, the Japanese army on the Kitty Hawk still did not give up, and played a very funny banner: "The yellow race in Asia does not fight the yellow race, but will jointly deal with the white people in Europe and the United States."
Zheng Dingbang remembered that Hu Zhen once said to him, 'The Japanese are the most despicable and shameless human race in the history of mankind', and felt that this was very reasonable, and sneered: "Nima's, the yellow race doesn't fight the yellow race, so what kind of race does the Japanese fleet besiege the Beiyang Naval Division and what kind of race does it fight?" ”
"Since you haven't left, it's just shelled out!"
"Yes!" When Zheng Dingbang heard this, he realized that it was Hu Zhen's voice coming from the sound radio, so he hurriedly put his feet together, raised his hand and saluted, and immediately gave an order to all ships: "Sink these two Japanese warships." ”
It turned out that Hu Zhen received the news that the Huaxia Army fleet had rushed to Weihaiwei, and immediately took a transport airship, and under the cover of 20 combat airships, rushed to the skies over the Weihai battlefield, and was now overlooking the situation of the two fleets at an altitude of more than 1,000 meters.
After Zheng Dingbang arranged the shelling of the Kitty Hawk and the Saikyo Maru, he asked for instructions through the radio: "Sir...... No...... Your Majesty, please take command of the fleet! ”
What outsiders don't know is that the Huaxia Army defeated the Dutch fleet, the Spanish fleet, and the United States fleet, although Zheng Dingbang is the commander of the fleet, but the real commander is Hu Zhen, especially the miraculous precision artillery bombardment, which is the data provided by Hu Zhen, which is a top secret that Hu Zhen requires must not be passed on.
"Today I won't command the fleet to shell, you can do it yourself!" After so many years of actual combat training and strict training of the Huaxia Military Fleet, Hu Zhen felt that even if he did not use the shelling data link of nuclear submarines, he would still be able to defeat the Japanese Combined Fleet with an absolute advantage.
While Hu Zhen and Zheng Dingbang were talking, the battleships Chang'an and Changzhi used the fire control system to accurately measure the firing elements and adjust the height angle of the 305-mm main gun to the position. Fierce fire was fired at the Kitty Hawk and the Saikyo Maru four thousand meters away.
I have to say that the Kitty Hawk and the Saikyo Maru have accumulated virtue somewhere, and they actually provoked the main gun bombardment of a battleship with a displacement of 12,600 tons.
"The battleship's main guns are bombarding us, hurry up and retreat!" The captain of the Kitty Hawk, Lieutenant Suzuki Tojuro, is about to shell the main guns of the flagship of the Huaxia Army. Dengshi was shocked.
The Saikyo Maru was originally just a ship of the Minister of the Navy, Shiki Kayama, but now Shiki Kayama has returned to the base camp of the Japanese Kingdom, and is only used as an innocuous alert ship, and its captain Yusuki Kano also discovered that the guns of the battleships of the Huaxia Army were pointed at his side, and quickly ordered to turn to evade.
Just as the two ships were turning. The two battleships of the Huaxia Army opened fire.
With a displacement of 203 tons and a speed of 20 knots, the Kitty Hawk turned and fled very quickly, while the Saikyo Maru, with a displacement of 2,913 tons, had a speed of only 12 knots, which can be described as turtle speed, and the fatal thing is that the target is just right.
As a result, the first round of shelling of the 305-mm cannon did not hit the Kitty Hawk, which loomed in the waves, and the Nishikyo Maru was hit by shells on the mast and smoke window.
The violent explosion formed a huge orange fireball above the Saikyo Maru, which quickly enveloped the entire ship. Ropes, signal flags, wooden decks all burst into flames.
Yuyuki Kano was also on fire, and he rolled on the deck a few times, extinguishing the flames, and shouted hoarsely, "Hurry up and put out the fire!" ”
The rate of fire of the main guns on the Chang'an and Changzhi was a salvo of 35 seconds, and this was the first time that it was put into actual combat, and the first salvo hit the Saikyo Maru, and the soldiers on the ship were greatly encouraged, quickly adjusted their gun positions, and immediately carried out the second round of salvo.
After the fire broke out in Saikyomaru, the goal became even more obvious. This second salvo, a 305 mm caliber shell, hit the amidships of the Saikyo Maru.
The wooden hull of the Saikyo Maru was suddenly carried by orange flames and powerful blast gas, forming thousands of fragments. Cracks and splashes in all directions.
After the explosion, countless garbage and corpses floated on the surface of the sea, those wooden components were smoking and burning on the water, and some very hard-working Japanese soldiers were waving their hands and feet and struggling.
"Run!" Lieutenant Suzuki Tojuro on the Kitty Hawk, who was once known as a model of bushido for sneaking up on the Jinyuan at night, was also so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't dare to go to the rescue of Saikyo Maru. Desperately urging his subordinates to drive the machine to maximum speed and escape.
Seeing this, Zheng Dingbang gave a fierce order: "The main guns of Chang'an and Changzhi use shotguns, and they must sink the Japanese torpedo boat Kitty Hawk!" ”
The main guns of the Chang'an and Changzhi were immediately replaced with shotguns and bombarded in the direction of the Kitty Hawk's escape.
The battleship's shotgun is different from the traditional direct discharge shotgun, it is a new type of ammunition designed by Hu Zhen using a supercomputer system, in fact, it is a kind of submunition that only existed in the high-tech era in later generations, and the 330-kilogram shell only exploded when it hit the target, bursting out hundreds of one-kilogram shotguns, and the shotgun will explode a second time when it hits the target.
Under the snares of hundreds of shotguns, the Kitty Hawk could not escape at all.
In the first salvo, the Kitty Hawk received more than 20 shotguns, and the Bushido model Suzuki Tojuro happened to be hit by a shotgun in the body, and was instantly blown into pieces of flesh and bones that flew in all directions.
Having lost its command, the Kitty Hawk galloped aimlessly across the sea.
In the second round of shotgun attacks, one of the Kitty Hawk's torpedo tubes was hit by a shotgun, causing a violent explosion, which in turn caused the detonation of other torpedo tubes, immediately blowing the Kitty Hawk into a part.
Describing the annihilation of the Saikyo Maru and Kitty Hawk here may seem like a long process, but in fact it was only a short three minutes.
The Japanese army in Weihai port did not have time to make any response, but watched as the main battleships of the Huaxia Army made a big move to destroy two ships whose combat effectiveness was not worth mentioning at all, and the Beiyang Naval Division in the siege watched this amazing scene in amazement.
At this point, Ito Shoyu finally understood that there would be no second outcome for the combined fleet of the Japanese army today except for fighting to the death with the powerful Huaxia fleet, so he threw away all illusions and gave a categorical order: "All warships immediately form a team and prepare for a large column battle." ”
"All the whole team, prepare for an artillery battle with the Japanese fleet!"
Zheng Dingbang gave the order, in addition to the battleships Daxia and Carlos V and five cruisers in the battlefield reserve, the remaining four battleships, 20 cruisers, and 18 destroyers immediately formed a three-column column to pounce on the combined fleet of the Japanese army.
A decisive battle that will determine the fate of the East Asian continent and the western Pacific for the next few hundred years is about to begin! (To be continued.) )
