Chapter 126

readx; The gunboat Anzhai is fleeing for its life, the speed of 16 knots is very sad in the eyes of everyone, not to mention that it may be chased by others, and the Pufeng that was sunk in front of it is still bubbling in the river water, and the other Japanese warships that are shelling Zhabei saw when a monster with a double hull appeared behind them! Moreover, the two most powerful battleships in the fleet were the Joban and the Urakaze, which were sunk. The www.biquge.info hurriedly started the engine and ran to a safe place, not caring about those companions who were still struggling on the water and calling for help, and the crew of each ship prayed in a panic that Amakasu Okami hoped to get as far away as possible from this monster with two bodies with cannon barrels!

The Kamui catamaran battleship, which was originally at a speed of 30 knots, suddenly reduced its speed to 18 knots, and did not chase the slow Ataka in front of it, but suddenly turned to the two ships that were discovered by their own shipborne radar behind them: the Japanese Hanoi-class battleships named Kawachi and Settsu respectively, and now they should be called shallow shore defense-class battlegunboats, and the huge battleship figure gradually left the waters of the Huangpu River and went directly to the mouth of the Huangpu River and entered the sea.

Hanoi and Settsu, these two shallow shore defense class battlegunboats originally wanted to convert these two outdated battleships into battle training ships according to the Japanese idea, and used them as a supplement to wartime ships while training, these two were built in 1907 and 1911 respectively, and were completed in March-July 1912 of the same year. According to the original historical context, the Hanoi, the unlucky one, would have been silent on July 2, 1918 due to the explosion of its own ammunition depot in Deshan Bay, and the other Settsu was tragically decommissioned as a target ship in 1924 after World War I in accordance with the provisions of the Washington Naval Treaty. Later, on July 24, 1945, in Kure Harbor, it was tragically damaged by an air raid by the U.S. aircraft carrier task force.

However, due to the influence of someone's big butterfly flapping its wings, the Hanoi survived peacefully in 1918 and was decommissioned and idle at the same time in 1924 with ships of the same class, probably in 1929, when the economic crisis caught most of the world's countries off guard without warning, Japan, which had an excessive naval military spending, had to reduce its finances, and the Japanese Navy, which had turned its head around, was dazzled, and finally re-commissioned the crossbow-class battleships (i.e., dreadnoughts) of the First World War, which can be regarded as half-new, not old, to save some expenses.

However, how to use it turned upside down at the time, and in the end, it was under the intervention of another traverser, the head of the Yaman Arsenal, a certain technical cute house Yashima Yukichi or with the tacit approval of the authorities. These two fucking things were transformed into this 39,700-ton shallow water heavy armored battlegunboat in front of me, and finally these two old guys were refitted on May 14, 1931, and the size and width were no different from the original early Nagato-class battleships, but the draft became shallower, I don't know how Yawata did it, and the power engine only retained two steam turbines. And the speed can only maintain the original economic speed of 20 knots is already good, the original 12 305 mm twin naval guns were directly canceled, according to Yashima Yukichi, it is just as a shallow water shore defense ship to do so much garbage 305 guns What do you do, it is better to change them all to the front two and two rear backpack 8 4 twin 410 mm L45 times the main gun, the original Hanoi class 152 mm secondary guns, 12-pounder rapid-fire guns, 450 mm torpedo tubes and other redundant things are all canceled. After the designer's strict calculation, the original 140 mm caliber secondary gun of the Nagato class was cancelled, and then, the number of 8 4 twin 127 mm L40 double diameter Type 89 anti-aircraft guns was expanded to 24 deformations, and the 76 mm anti-aircraft guns were still canceled under the designer's left and right changes, and only the twin Type 96 (pit daddy) 25 mm anti-aircraft guns were retained.

When it was not yet renovated, after the Tanaka cabinet at the time got the budget for the refit of two warships, Yoshiichi Tanaka, who was the prime minister at the time, saw that the plan was not approved before he died, because the budget was too high! One such modified battleship Nima costs more than $60 million! Not much worse than a newly built battleship! Then the two ships are almost 130 million US dollars, and Tanaka will not agree to live or die in the cabinet.

So the leaders of the navy stopped him at the door of his official residence twice in three days, and it was a pity that Tanaka himself was from the army. I am very disgusted by the aggressiveness of the stinky salted fish in the sea of the navy! After the death of Tanaka, the 26th Prime Minister of Little Japan, due to the 918 incident, the 27th 59-year-old Japanese man named Yuyuki Hamaguchi appeared on the scene.

This old guy doesn't want to offend both the Navy and the Army when he comes to power, so what should he do? As soon as the brain turned around, he ran directly to ask for instructions from Emperor Hirohito, and it happened that Hirohito's uncle, Prince Tokumasa, was also present, and Tokumasa, who was in charge of the military department, didn't know what method to use to get this matter done after understanding the situation. As a result, the two idle warships were also successfully renovated, but the original plan to install 8 4-seat twin 410 mm L45 times main guns was reduced to 6 2 guns, and the twin was changed to a triple one. According to the meaning of Dezheng: coastal defense, coastal defense, just two ships with 6 guns each is enough, but the 127-mm anti-aircraft guns were all canceled, and only the 25-mm twin-mounted anti-aircraft guns were added on a large scale, and the cost was later calculated that the two ships together cost less than 80 million US dollars, and the navy had to pretend to be happy to accept the two shrunken warships, so who would give the remaining 50 million US dollars? It was still given to the army by the prince, and the army, which was already worried about money, saw that pie fell from the sky, how could it not take the gift, and the bigwigs of the army faction who got cheap came to the door to pat themselves and thank the prince.

The two shrunken battleships in front of them were missing 2 main guns, reducing their own weight, so their speed suddenly increased, and after discovering through the ship's surface reconnaissance aircraft that the giant on the opposite side had just destroyed the heavy armored cruiser Tokiwa of their own fleet, these two didn't know what happened and still pounced on them with brains, did they have anything to rely on?

"Report to the captain, an enemy ship was found 16 kilometers ahead, and judging from the radar signal, it is suspected to be a battleship, but its firepower is only 6 guns...... "The radar observer of the Shenwei reported to the female captain Ma Shuli.

"Where did this weird thing come from?" Ma Shuli felt incredulous at such a strange thing that looked like a battleship and didn't look like a battleship, and at the same time wondered where the other party came from.

"We didn't find any enemy ships behind us when we opened fire just now, and it is estimated that we came out after we opened fire." Another battleship staff officer pondered for a moment, telling his guess.

......

"Your Excellency, the number and size of the enemy's guns are too large, and we are worried that we may ...... rush forward rashly," a Japanese naval staff officer on the bridge of the Hanoi reminded his captain.

"Yaodu-kun, although the other party has a huge number of naval guns, but the power is not very good, can a cannon of that caliber sink us! Don't forget that our ships are very well armored, and we have 410 mm cannons installed, so we don't need to be afraid of dripping anyway. So your concerns are unnecessary, haha. The captain of the Hanoi, Naono Osa Loggi, smiled and said disapprovingly.

"Moxi Moxi, I'm Log is Yamamoto's Black Flag Jun answering the phone, I have something I want to discuss with you......" Ignoring the staff officer's tangled expression, Log Naono Osa picked up the radio carrier communicator and started talking to the captain of the other Settsu.

Next, the log explained his plan and plan through the ship's telephone, and told Yamamoto on the other side at a speed......

"Yuanmu-kun, I understand what you mean very well, we are now taking advantage of the opponent's full speed ahead to seize the T-shaped head and bombard the opponent from a long distance when the opponent has not yet reacted!! However, we also have to be careful of the opponent's dense naval artillery group, which is not without dependence on such a large man to drive on the sea. Captain Yamamoto Kuraige of the Settsu on the other end of the phone said patiently after listening to the log's battle plan.

"Hai, avenge the warriors of the Imperial Japanese Navy who died in battle, and wish the Settsu all the princes of the Settsu prosperity!!" Log back.

"Martial Fortune Changlong!! Long live Great Japan!! The Emperor is onboard!! Destroy enemy ships and avenge the Imperial Warriors!! The log was answered by the shouts of all the members of the Settsu.
