[151] Upstream

The first round of four upstream anti-ship missiles roared heartbreakingly, soaring into the sky from the east and west, accelerating continuously until the subsonic speed of Mach 0.9, and the two-ton thick and long walrus-like missile body ran wildly over the sea in the drizzle at an unimaginably high speed under the action of rocket thrusters, and killed the target more than 30 kilometers away!

They will fly towards the target area according to the bound elements, turn on the missile radar scan to capture the target at a predetermined position, and then climb to a height of 300 meters and dive to attack. No warship can withstand the disemboweling blow of a subsonic upstream with a half-ton warhead rushing into the belly of the ship from the upper deck, no!

Li Yuxi is happily shelling at the moment, it is obvious that the four warships led by the Taikang ship have hit a number of sailing ships for military aircraft, otherwise where are these driftwood and rotten leaves in the sea?

He kept reporting new positions for the shelling, and the gunner was confused and followed his directions to direct the shelling. After the war, artillery commander Meng Bin recalled: "...... I don't think I saw the ship...... No ship in sight...... The direction and distance of the shelling are indicated by the flagship......"

Suddenly, everyone on the bridge seemed to see something, something glowing brightly in the distance in the misty rain and mist! A strange howl came closer.

Before everyone could speak, the Taikang was hit, and an upstream missile bit the Taikang, the largest tonnage, from a height of 300 meters, and plunged into the middle of the Taikang, which was firing guns, and the 380 kilograms of high explosives loaded in the 510-kilogram shaped warhead instantly roared and roared in the direction of the concentrated energy, spitting out the kinetic energy that destroyed everything!

The Taikang is over! The entire warship was blown through, from the middle deck all the way to the bottom keel, and flames enough to melt steel erupted from all the passages of the hull! Rushing! Then squirt out from the path to the deck that you found! None of the central hull and the passage connecting the central hull survived

The steel hull was torn apart from the middle like a frantic by the furious upstream missile, and the ends were cocked. The sea around the Taikang was shaken by the shock wave transmitted by the explosion, and the waves more than one meter high slapped in all directions!

Almost at the same time, the ammunition depot exploded, and the Taikang, as if setting off celebratory fireworks, rushed up again after the white mushroom cloud created by the explosion of the first missile. The 1,150-ton warship can no longer support it, and the structural rigidity and toughness that have been seriously destroyed are gone, and the middle of the warship fell sharply, and the high cocking of the head and tail has reached 30 degrees!

Everyone in the bridge has been knocked to the ground by this huge earthquake at this moment, Li Yuxi doesn't understand, what's wrong! He himself knows very well that there are any enemy ships there! But if it weren't for the shelling of enemy ships, how could you explain the huge impact that could be felt on this bridge.

With the explosion of the ammunition depot, the people in the bridge who had been knocked to the ground were once again shocked. Feeling the huge and terrifying squeaky and twisted screams of the ship's hull, and feeling the obvious backward tilt of the bridge, everyone understood that it was over, it was the ammunition depot that was detonated after being hit by the enemy's heavy artillery!

At this moment, there were three explosions not far away, the same thrilling, the same terrifying that made all the Kuomintang naval officers and men tremble, and the other three gunboats of Baoying, Hongze, and Dongting must have also been hit

Li Yuxi struggled to get up, and rushed out of the bridge without saying a word. The tilt of the ship's hull is getting worse and worse, and if Li Yuxi hadn't pulled on the iron railing in the corridor outside the bridge, he wouldn't have been able to stand at all.

He looked up and saw that the slow ship was full of sailors who were frantically escaping, some jumped into the sea with a lifebuoy, and some jumped into the sea without a lifebuoy, Li Yuxi was angry.

"!" Li Yuxi took out a pistol and struggled to the sideboard life-saving rubber boat, where several sailors were untying the mooring rope with their hands and feet, and at this time the officers in the bridge had also rushed out with Li Yuxi, regardless of the unbalanced feet, and frantically rushed to the rubber boat.

When the rubber boat was lowered and thrown into the sea, Li Yuxi and the officers jumped into the sea and swam to this living straw. After climbing into the rubber boat, Li Yuxi did not hesitate to kill several sailors who tried to climb the officer's rubber boat with a pistol, and ordered the officers who climbed up to call for help while rowing the lifeboat.

In this attack, the most fortunate was the Hongze ship, unscathed, but looked in horror at the three warships around them that were crippled by the enemy who did not know where in one round, so that the captain Lai Guobin was so frightened that he was about to flee to the south at full speed. He didn't care about the lives of friendly soldiers screaming for help in the surrounding sea.

The Dongting ship is the most miserable, it is estimated that few people on the whole ship can survive, one of the upstream missiles somehow happened, even after the missile radar was turned on, it actually recognized Dongting, and the other upstream overlapped to launch a dive towards the poor Dongting ship, and there were almost no living people on the 650-ton offshore gunboat Dongting after two lower bellies, and one upstream missile was inserted into the belly of the ship from the bridge, so that now it is impossible to find where the bridge is, and the other upstream missile was inserted from the center of the ship, The 650-ton displacement hull was completely blown off from the middle side, leaving only the left steel plate and keel connected to the front and rear hulls, and the sea water puffed into the hull, and it was estimated that it would sink completely in less than half an hour.

The Baoying ship was hit by the rear engine position of the ship, the whole butt was blown up, completely lost power, the fire floated on the water, and the sea water continued to pour in from the back of the cracked hull, causing the hull to be inserted backwards into the sea, and a situation of warping the head had been formed, and it was not far from sinking.

Li Yuxi's loud cry for help attracted the attention of the Hong Ze ship, and the captain Lai Guobin saw clearly through the binoculars that it was indeed Li Yuxi himself and the officers of the Taikang ship, and hurriedly ordered the ship to turn around and sail closer to the rescue.

After launching the first round of missiles, the four 024 missile speedboats asked Deng Zhaoxiang, commander-in-chief of the Grand Fleet, whether the second round of launches was needed, Deng Zhaoxiang was already sweating profusely when he stood in the bridge command room of the Xicaracal, although the temperature at sea in winter was very low, but the air conditioning of the Xicaracal was really powerful, even if Deng Zhaoxiang repeatedly instructed to save electricity, the temperature was beaten to 16 degrees, or let these habitually busy officers wearing cotton jackets sweat profusely.

Deng Zhaoxiang couldn't understand how it was discovered by the enemy, the displacement of the 024 missile boat was only 63 tons, and this distance could not have been detected by the enemy's warship radar! Could it be that the Kuomintang has a new warship equipped with a new type of radar?

Deng Zhaoxiang shook his head and denied his speculation. He immediately issued an order, ordering the four or so outflanked 024 missile boats to return to the team immediately, and the four 037 hunting submarines of the middle assault rushed up at high speed to observe the enemy's losses, and at the same time ordered the four 024 in the middle to prepare for cover behind 037.

Chen Xingde, deputy captain of the Xining, said anxiously: "In this rainy day, I am afraid that the observation of the air force has also been hindered." ”

After the North Sea Fleet discovered these four enemy ships, it notified the Air Force, but the Air Force has not sent confirmation news so far, which makes Deng Zhaoxiang puzzled?

According to the display of the Seacaracal's anti-aircraft radar, the planes of our air force have obviously rushed to the airspace over the sea area where the enemy ship is located, so why has there been no reaction at all so far!

This forced Deng Zhaoxiang to give up the idea of using the air force to check the battle situation.
