207 upstream missiles

Nomura ordered the fleet to speed up and change its course to the northwest, because his fleet had no planes, and wanted to get closer to the coastline and send a telegram to the Hongqiao Airport in Shanghai to send planes to protect it.

However, not long after the telegram was sent, a few drops of rain suddenly fell from the sky, and Nomura suddenly laughed: "Yo Xi, God help me, the fleet turns, we will use artillery to kill the American devils in front!" ”

Not long after, a large group of white dots appeared on the screen of the No. 21 radar, "It's an American devil, it must be an American devil, speed up, prepare the ship's guns!" ”

The whole fleet was busy, just waiting for the fleet that caught up with the front to bombard them with 356mm cannons.

Kane and the others were also remorseful, seeing that the bombs were all hung on the plane, and a light rain fell again, and the few 127 guns in the fleet were estimated to be beaten without even touching the side of the house.

This 356 mm cannon is not simple, the firing range can reach more than 30 kilometers at most, the high warhead alone, the armor-piercing warhead can reach 1.2 tons, and the high-explosive bomb also weighs 100 kilograms! If this is smashed on a warship, a cannon will be a big hole!

Seeing that he had chased behind, only thirty kilometers away from the fleet, Nomura did not choose to open fire.

Because now it is raining lightly, the visibility is not high, and it is usually calibrated with airplanes, but now it is equally powerless, and even the telescope can see a distance of several kilometers.

The firepower of the naval guns is strong, but the devils do not have a radar, even if they want to fight, they can only fire indiscriminately at the direction of the radar, which is not the style of the Japanese Navy, and the long-term training has made them develop the habit of saving. If you don't see a target, you won't fire.

Second, it is also related to the life of the 365 cannon, a total of more than 300 cannons, you have to change the tube, and now, this cannon has fired more than 200 rounds, if this battle is fought a little more and there is no result, you will have to be scolded when you go back, and the resources of the empire really can't withstand the toss.

The preparations on the two destroyers have been made, and the border sea Narube Kane "head, is it two shots at once?" After all, this thing is expensive! ”

Kane interrupted him mercilessly, "Why are you so stingy?" Four shots in a wave, deal with the two big ones first, and then fight the other small fish! ”

"Four shots? Do you know how much four shots cost? "Bian Haiming is almost stupid, a missile is now more than 100,000 US dollars, this is still the cost price, you know, just a transistor radar on it is worth tens of thousands of dollars, not to mention other costs.

Originally, alcohol or kerosene could be used as a liquid fuel, but Kane insisted on using hydrazine, so what is it? Hydrazine! Not only is it poisonous, but if you touch a drop on your body, you will have to rot your skin.

Of course, there are also advantages, that is, it has large thrust, easy ignition, and it is a powerful incendiary bomb that cannot be used up after hitting an enemy ship!

Bian Haiming said loudly, "The enemy ship on the left side in front of the target, four salvos!" A few scientists were typing in various commands on a simple calculator, and another was aloud the number "Nineteen, Eight, Seven...... Three, two, one, ignition! ”

A sergeant major pressed the launch button, and "whew" smoke rose from the back of a large bomb weighing more than two tons, and then a ball of flame erupted from the tail, and with a "whew", the spun-shaped missile broke free of its restraints and rushed diagonally into the sky.

Immediately after that, there were three more "whirring" sounds, and four missiles were launched in a row. After the missiles were fired, they deftly adjusted their altitude and direction, and then flew forward against the sea.

Nomura was about to issue an order to let the naval guns try their luck, anyway, there was a large number of enemy ships in the radar, and there would always be one or two ships, but as soon as he turned his head, he let out a piercing exclamation "Enemy aircraft found, enemy aircraft found at 12 o'clock"

Nomura hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked up, there was nothing in the sky, and then the shouts from outside came "Ultra-low-altitude, ultra-low-altitude flight, small-caliber cannon preparation!" ”

As soon as I lowered my head, a few bright dots flew in front of me, not much like an airplane, but similar to my own cherry blossom bombs.

The 127 anti-aircraft guns fired a wave in vain, the birds were useless, the enemy planes were too fast, the artillery did not calculate the advance amount, and all hit behind it.

All 40 anti-aircraft guns and 25 guns were aimed in front of them, and seeing that they were about to arrive, all 40 guns began to roar, sending a cloud of black smoke out of front of the ship.

"It's up, Amaterasu, it's up!" As soon as the lookout hand had finished calling, he saw the light climb of the small plane, which actually reached the top of his head, and then, like a dive bomber, plunged straight down.

At this time, the small-caliber gun had just turned its muzzle around when a "boom" was heard, and the 500-kilogram shaped energy armor-piercing warhead smashed into the amidships of the hull!

The remaining fuel suddenly burst on the ship, and in addition to a large chimney that was smashed through, the angry fuel actually wrapped some gasoline and diesel barrels!

Before everyone could recover from the shockwave, the damned lookout was shouting "12 o'clock, enemy planes, one, no, two, three, three enemy planes!" "The anti-aircraft artillery hurriedly turned around again, but the speed of these three enemy planes was too fast, and the visual inspection was definitely more than 1,000 kilometers.

"Bang Bang" was lucky this time, only two of them landed, but these two were enough, both of them exploded in the oil drum area of the rear deck, and I don't know if it blew up the engine, and everyone obviously felt that the speed suddenly slowed down.

"Bang, bang, bang" oil drums exploded one by one, and some actually flew to the foredeck and landed in front of the gun emplacements, and suddenly, the entire superstructure of the ship was shrouded in black smoke and fire!

Nomura couldn't see the situation clearly in the bridge, but he knew that this time the Hyuga was finished, and he was furious and immediately issued an order: "Let the Ise fire, aim at the area where the enemy ships are concentrated, and fire with all your might!" ”

The Hyuga couldn't be opened, the back deck was smashed through, the fuel in the cabin had been ignited, the first gasoline roasted the diesel, and finally, even the heavy oil was roasted to the ground.

The Ise lifted the muzzle of the cannon, and a huge cannonball was stuffed into the barrel, and just waiting for the medicine bag to be delivered, the push rod closed the bolt, and below, it was the world of the battleship!

"Enemy aircraft found, four, one o'clock direction!" This time, it was the turn of the Ise lookout to despair, and just now he saw with his own eyes that the Hyuga lookout Shin Village had fallen into the fire.

The gunner gritted his teeth and shouted, "Fire", and just as the gunner pulled the rope, the entire hull shook violently, and four large bombs landed on the Ise almost at the same time.

The firing of the ship's guns and the explosion of bombs sounded at the same time. This time, the Ise was not so lucky, a huge missile smashed into its second gun position, 500 kg of giant armor-piercing warhead shot through the turret, and then, it tragically, a few shells and a large number of propellants were ignited at the same time.

Well, this time the artillerymen didn't feel distressed, because the propellant didn't use the barrel this time, so they blew the cannonball out of the turret and smashed it in all directions!
