Another shell that hit the "Fuxi" immediately afterwards hit the bow of the "Fuxi" and directly blew the nose of the "Fuxi" away. However, the seriously wounded "Fuxi" still did not lose its combat effectiveness. With the unique tenacity of the Chinese, the cannons on this giant ship are still firing fiercely at the battleship. Soon, the sister ship of the "Fuxi" in the back, the "Chiyou", which also belonged to the "Fuxi" class, dealt a fatal blow to the "Musashi" with its 460-mm main gun. Three of the 16 shells hit the Musashi directly, and the compass bridge on the Musashi became the final destination of one shell, and the shells that penetrated the portholes squeezed into the bridge by brute force, and then under the action of the time-delay fuse, the shells exploded. Orange-red clouds of light spread through the spacious bridge with violently expanding air. The raging currents tore everything to pieces and scorched with the heat it contained. As for the people inside, under the action of the high explosives in the shells, they have already been dispersed from living people to scattered heads, arms, legs, internal organs, and blood, and then these fragments, under the high temperature of the explosives, quickly become charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and become roasted human flesh that exudes the smell of gunpowder after the explosives are burned, and the sour smell of wires and plastics when burning. After receiving a "heavy punch" from the "Chiyou", the super battleship also broke out. And about the same time. Four of the 12 510-mm shells fired by another Yamato-class battleship, the Mino, hit the superstructure of the Chiyu, and the 510-mm shells swept across the entire upper floor, blowing it up in a mess. The "Chiyou" was also seriously injured at once.

At this time, all the super battleships have been put into shooting, the dense artillery fire has already covered the sky, and the rough sea is stimulated by the rumbling cannon sound to be more violent - the most powerful steel machines on the sea created by human science and technology fight each other, the icy water, the huge ball of fire, the shocking loud noise, all of this can make any warrior's blood boil! This is the battle between real warriors! This is the charm of a battleship, such passion and heroism that cannot be achieved by any kind of weapon!

In this pinnacle showdown of super battleships, the two sides can be said to have a draw.

The battle was inextricably linked, with losses on each other, and the other battleships on both sides were also engaged in fierce battles.

At the moment, the sea is still full of wind and waves. Two powerful fleets of battleships of steel and iron were constantly approaching in the face of the wind and waves.

On the side of battleships, the two sides were evenly matched. But when it comes to other ships, the Japanese army seems to have a huge advantage. Although the five heavy cruisers such as the "Atago" were thin and stuffy, the 203-mm naval guns on them were still able to pose a certain threat to the Chinese battleships. And the "93" type oxygen torpedoes they are equipped with are even more terrible weapons.

The battle alarm sounded again on all the warships. Every warship knows that the time has come for a decisive battle with the enemy! All the battleships began to accelerate. On the battleship "Republic", the gunners could feel the huge hull under their feet slightly tilted. Several steam turbines are emitting power. Everyone could feel the vibration of the ship's hull - it was the action of a terrible wave.

With the command of the commander of gun. Huge armor-piercing shells were pushed into the barrel of the position. The propellant, which was wrapped in silk in several packets, was then thrust into the massive chamber. The bolt of the spiral gun is tightly closed. The main gun began to raise the elevation angle.

At the moment, visibility on the sea is still very low, and it is impossible to see far at all, and if both sides see the opponent at the same time, it becomes very important to occupy the position. At this time, the battleships on both sides were shaking their huge bodies, trying to seize the advantageous position, and the heavy cruiser of Yu himself rushed out at this time, accelerated to approach the Chinese battleship, and attempted to launch a torpedo attack.

Despite being seriously wounded, the Fuxi, like other Chinese battleships, quickly approached the flotilla. Then, with a dull and muffled whistling sound, four armor-piercing shells fired from each of the two main turrets of the "Fuxi" streaked through the sky and descended on the battleship "Musashi", accurately hitting the middle ground between its No. 4 turret and the aft deck. Then quickly penetrated the armor there.

With the courage to move forward, the shell shuttled all the way to the cabin on the aft deck of the "Musashi" and exploded there. At that time, it was a mess where the flesh was blown up. Immediately after, the "Chiyou" on the side also opened fire, and a 460-mm super-heavy shell hit the No. 1 turret of the "Shinano". In a short time, more dense shells fell, and a series of 8 460-mm shells hit the "Shinano", which not only destroyed the battleship's two main turrets, but also caused structural damage to the super battleship, and the violent explosion shattered many places on the battleship. Moreover, a few near-misses also caused a large number of cracks in the hull of this warship, causing a large amount of water to enter the watertight compartment.

And at this time, the heavy cruiser "Atago" rushed up - under the onslaught of five Chinese battleships, it had already been beaten into a burning torch on the sea. At this time, the 203-mm naval guns on it continued to fire fiercely at the Chinese battleships, and the other four heavy cruisers, with their high speeds, soon approached the distance of the torpedo attack.

At this time, it was finally the turn of the heavy cruiser I designed to exert its maximum power.

More than a dozen "93" oxygen torpedoes were released. The huge torpedo fell into the water, making thin marks and rushing towards the Chinese battleship.

The lookout on the battleship "Fuxi" quickly discovered the torpedoes on the sea, but this time the torpedoes released by the four heavy cruisers were really dense, and although the torpedoes were discovered, the speed of the "Fuxi" was not as fast as before at this time, and it could be said that it was very difficult to dodge.

But at this moment, the most dramatic scene of this naval battle appeared.

A huge wave like a mountain suddenly rose between the two fleets, like a giant hand, instantly separating the two fleets that were fighting fiercely.

The waves surged, and all the torpedoes that were speeding on the surface of the sea rolled up and threw them into the air.

Under the stunned gaze of the officers and men on both sides of the war, torpedoes spun in the sky like pencils thrown in the hands of children. Then it fell back into the sea.

Several torpedoes were smashed the moment they fell sideways to the surface, while many of the torpedoes rushed down with their heads in large heads, re-entered the water at an angle, and galloped.

Only this time their direction is no longer the Chinese battleships, but the heavy cruisers that launched them and the battleships that are under shelling!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

A series of huge explosions sounded on the side of the battleship "Kii", which was already seriously damaged, and the "Kii", which had suffered a series of heavy blows, could no longer withstand it, and the hull quickly tilted - because the warhead of the powerful 610-mm oxygen torpedo had already opened five large holes in the side of the ship, and the raging sea water continued to pour in, and then a huge wave hit, and it quickly sank to the bottom of the sea. None of the people on the warship survived.

Seeing that the "Kii" was sunk by a torpedo fired by himself, Nobutake Kondo on the "Atago" could hardly believe his eyes.

What is even more surprising is that the super battleship "Mino" was also hit by its own torpedo!

Not long after the sinking of the battleship "Kii", the waves swelled again, and several torpedoes that had just been swept into the bottom of the sea by the vortex were lifted out of the sea again, like a sharp arrow that was broken out of the string, drawing a long arc in the air, as if it had eyes, and flew straight towards the "Mino" super battleship that was firing!

The "Mino" could not dodge at all, and the officers and men on the ship watched as these torpedoes falling from the sky fell on the deck one after another!

Huge flames rose on the surface of the ship in an instant, the three main turrets of the "Mino" were completely destroyed in an instant, the huge barrel was completely distorted and deformed, and there were flying debris and broken limbs of the sailors everywhere, and the "Mino", which was still pouring artillery fire on the enemy ship just now, completely lost its combat effectiveness in an instant under the torpedo strike fired by its own people!

Up to now, nearly four hours have passed in the naval battle, and on the sea, the battle between the "Fuxi" class and the "Yamato" class super battleships and other battleships on both sides has not yet decided the final victory or defeat - the battleships of both sides are stubbornly floating on the water, although none of them have sunk, but they are basically in the middle of a long life, more than a dozen huge warships, each of which is blazing, and each of them is seriously injured. Such a lose-lose battle. It's hard to tell the results. Among the Chinese fleet, the "Fuxi" suffered the most serious damage, it had already received more than 10 direct hits of 510 mm shells, and more dangerously, it was hit by two direct hits underwater, and the hull in front of the armor belt was flooded, and the water intake had exceeded 4,000 tons! According to common sense, this battleship should have sunk to the bottom of the sea a long time ago, but at this moment, it is still stubbornly floating on the rough sea. The No. 1 turret of the heroic "Fuxi" was hit by two 510-mm shells, and the whole thing was completely destroyed. And the No. 2 turret was also hit by three shells, the electrical and hydraulic systems were completely destroyed, and it was already incapacitated. More than half of the sub-runner on the port side was destroyed, only the four twin 40-mm anti-aircraft guns were still combat-ready, and the four 460-mm guns on turret No. 3 were still slowly firing shells. And the massive ingress of water into the bilge and the damage to the boilers have seriously reduced the speed of the entire battleship. At the moment, the situation of this super-battleship is already quite dangerous. If it weren't for the fact that the warships on the opposite side were already mud bodhisattvas crossing the river - it would be difficult to protect themselves, and it would be difficult for this giant ship to escape the fate of destruction.

But thankfully, his super battleships were also scarred and looked precarious under the impact of wind and waves.

"We have lost this battle."

At this time, the heavy rain had stopped, but the strong wind and waves still did not stop, looking at the four super battleships floating on the sea. Chu Yangwei, commander of the Chinese fleet, sighed unwillingly.

He knew in his heart that if it weren't for the great help of the wind and wave ghosts, in the face of the two newly added super battleships, the "Fuxi" and "Chiyou" alone would not be able to block the attack of the Yueben himself.

"We should retreat now." Zhang Enming understood Chu Yangwei's thoughts, and suggested at the right time, "The rain has stopped, the radar and communication systems have returned to normal, we have achieved great results, there is no need to spend it in this ghost place with Yu himself." ”

"Okay!" Chu Yangwei nodded and gave the order to withdraw from the battle.

Through the observation window, Tatsuo Okada, a sailor, saw the huge shadow of the "Fuxi" moving away little by little in the huge waves, and he couldn't help but fall to the side as if he had collapsed, letting his tears flow.

Tatsuo Okada was admitted to the University of Tokyo in 1940 to study law. At the beginning of 1943, he was called up by the Imperial Navy. Due to poor eyesight and glasses, he was assigned as a signal soldier. After several months of training, he was assigned to the battleship "Yamato". Although he had long heard that the "Yamato" was the largest warship in the world, he knew that this giant ship was named "Yamato" and was a symbol of the entire nation. But he was still shocked when he stepped on this huge ship himself, which was more than 300 meters long, like a small town. The barrel of the main gun is thick enough for a strong man to crawl inside. Listen to the boatswain, each shell of the main gun weighs 2 and a half tons.

Soon after arriving on the "Yamato", news came that a decisive battle with the Chinese Navy was coming. On the first night of the battle, everyone on board the "Yamato" drank and had fun desperately, without thinking about military discipline at all. Because during the day, the military command department had already given the order for a decisive battle.

Despite the fact that he was still a recruit, from the faces of the boatswain and other veterans, he immediately understood the meaning of the "decisive battle". Tatsuo Okada was only 22 years old at the time, and he wanted to be a great lawyer, but none of this seemed possible. He rarely drank alcohol in normal times, but he drank a lot that night. He remembers singing "The Ballad of the Cherry Blossoms" and asking him if the cherry blossoms were in full bloom when he came from Tokyo. At that time, Tokyo had been bombed into ruins, which made his heart even more uncomfortable. He took out a family photo from his pocket, looked at it, and couldn't help crying......

The next day, they set off. Then came this terrible naval battle.

When the "Yamato" was hit by the first heavy shell, at that moment, he felt that death was close by.

Although everyone desperately held their posts and did everything possible to keep shooting at the enemy ships, the wind and waves in the "Dragon Triangle" were too great. With each impact of the waves, the hull of the ship had to shake violently from side to side several times, and from internal communications, Okada learned that the "Yamato" had been hit by multiple shells from enemy ships one after another, and cracks appeared in the hull, and the water began to enter and tilt to the left. In order to restore the balance of the hull, the captain of the ship, Arishinobu Osaku, ordered the starboard compartment to be filled with water. Seawater immediately poured into the main engine room and boiler room, and hundreds of Saiben sailors who had no time to escape were drowned alive.

Okada was a little puzzled at the time, the commanders had always said that the people of China were cowards who were greedy for life and afraid of death, but in this naval battle, the Chinese battleships behaved very bravely, and they still insisted on firing at the battleships after suffering heavy losses one after another. The "Yamato" was hit by several shells one after another, its speed was sharply reduced, and the ship was full of fire. Captain Ariga ordered the fire to be put out, and Okada saw his companions escape from the cabin and rushed to the deck. He felt sick to see the wounded people in a mess, the corpses trampled under their feet from time to time, and the severed limbs of the gunners scattered around the ruined artillery.

A large explosion ensued at the ammunition depot of the "Yamato", and many sailors jumped into the sea and struggled to swim to the rest of the fleet. At this time, a loud thunderclap was heard in the distance, and when Okada looked back, the "Musashi" also exploded, causing a huge flame.

Okada saw the Sailor drifting on the sea. They struggled desperately through the waves, and he couldn't believe what was happening. One after another, waves hit and formed huge whirlpools on the sea surface, and the sailors on the sea were quickly sucked into the whirlpool and disappeared without a trace......

"What a beautiful thing it is for people to live!" Tatsuo Okada remembered what his father, a veteran of the war against China, had said to him more than once, and his heart was filled with happiness.

"The Shina fleet fled, didn't it?"

On the bridge of the battleship "Yamato", Yamamoto Fifty-six, who had woken up, looked to the sky and asked in a weak voice.

"Yes, sir." Major General Ugaki replied as he coughed violently, he steadied his body hard, and wiped his somewhat bitter mouth with a white handkerchief, and there was a trace of blood on the white handkerchief.

Major General Ugaki knew that his stomach was bleeding after he vomited all the bile.

"Our battleships are all seriously injured and cannot be pursued for the time being, and the heavy cruiser formation is in pursuit." Rear Admiral Ugaki remembered the battleship "Mino" that had just been hit by his own torpedo "air strike", and could not help but feel worried about the pursuit of the heavy cruiser.

"Forget it...... Let them come back......" Yamamoto said weakly, "Let's get out of here......"

"Yes!" Major General Ugaki agreed loudly.

Thinking of leaving the terrible place of the "Dragon Triangle", Major General Ugaki somehow felt a sense of relief in his heart.

This sea of demons was a place he would never want to come back to.

The rain stopped completely, but the wind and waves became heavier and heavier, and the huge waves crashed against the bodies of the super battleships, extinguishing the fires that the Saimoto sailors could not extinguish with all their might.
