Chapter 769: Deadly Sneak Attack
Soon two or three hundred people were rescued, and there were obviously more than so many people in the navy of devils who fell into the water. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Seeing that a minute or two had passed, there was no more Wehrmacht Navy around, and suddenly appeared to hit him by surprise. The naval commander, who thought that there would be no third sneak attack tonight, except for a small number of officers and men on the warship to be on guard, all the rest were lined up to search for the officers who had fallen into the water.
Four or five nautical miles away from the Wehrmacht fleet of the Devil Navy, sixteen warships of all sizes were buried at the bottom of the sea.
However, because Chen Jiliang had been prepared in advance, each warship brought several rescue boats.
Although the warship sank, dozens of rescue boats were still floating on the sea.
It's just that, because of the cover of the night and the waves, and the fact that these boats are too small, a single wave floating on the sea can block them, and the devil fleet did not find it.
When the devil rescued his own soldiers who fell into the water, these boats were also rescuing their own soldiers who fell into the water. As soon as the dinghy was full, it retreated to the back to avoid being discovered by the devils.
At this time, another fleet appeared in the area of engagement, because the distance was too far and the sound of the waves was covered. The devils who were rescuing their colleagues didn't notice their existence.
Except for the 16 warships that have been buried at the bottom of the sea, Chen Jiliang's performance is slightly better, but the remaining 18 large and small warships that are also facing elimination, under the personal command of Commander Chen Jiliang, all the lights of the warships, like ghosts in the night, slowly leaned towards the brightly lit battlefield.
Because he wanted to rescue the soldiers who had fallen into the water, the devil left the warship to turn on all the headlights he could on, and every warship was brightly lit.
Although the devil couldn't see Chen Jiliang who was approaching, Chen Jiliang, who was standing in the command cabin of the warship, could already clearly see all the remaining warships of the Japanese army.
"This is simply a live target, and the captains of the ships are ordered to turn off the engines, use the inertia to advance another 500 meters, and then stop. A squad is in charge of a warship of the devils, and as soon as the scheduled time arrives, the cannon will be fired. Today I'm going to leave all of the devil detachment here. The more he looked at Chen Jiliang, who was more confident in the next battle, ordered with a serious face.
In less than ten minutes, all eighteen warships came to a halt.
Then form two rows in front and back, and put yourself on the side of the devil. At the same time, the naval guns of various calibers installed on the deck all aimed their muzzles at the devil fleet and prepared to open fire.
As soon as the time came, Chen Jiliang felt the warship suddenly tremble under his feet, and then a deafening explosion sounded on the deck, making his ears buzz.
Twelve guns of the size on the deck of the flagship, which fired shells at the same time.
Soon, the shells with a screeching sound smashed into the sea where the devil fleet was located.
Three warships of the Wehrmacht deal with one warship of the devil, even if the warship is very backward, the caliber of the artillery is not as good as the devil. But the numerical superiority of the threefold artillery is enough to give the devil a pot to drink.
More than 30 shells, even if there was only a fifty percent hit rate, there were more than a dozen smashed on the devil warship.
Ordinary small-caliber naval artillery shells may only blow a small crater in the deck of a warship. But the power of large-caliber naval artillery shells is not bad, and one down is enough to blow a large hole in the deck with a diameter of two meters.
If you are lucky, you can easily detonate the ammunition depot with just one large-caliber naval gun shell smashed directly on the upper deck of the ammunition depot.
There are not many warships left of the devil, but they can survive two consecutive rounds of sneak attacks, and they are all main warships without exception, and the corresponding protection is also very strong.
So, the first round of more than two hundred shells did not destroy a single warship.
But it can be clearly felt that the two warships, which were already tilted, were dumped at a greater angle in the violent explosion.
"Okay, just fight like this, tell the captains, continue to fire, the target remains the same." Commander Chen Jiliang stared at the battlefield and ordered with a burning expression.
The officers and men on the deck of each gun position immediately changed the shells of the guns and prepared for a new round of artillery fire. The attacked devil fleet was very lively, and the fleet commander quickly gave the order to counterattack with a gloomy face.
However, because most of the officers and men were rescuing the officers and men who had fallen into the water, they were still not all in place when the second round of shells fired by the Wehrmacht exploded. Fortunately, at this time, many naval guns began to adjust the angle of fire and prepare for a counterattack.
After another half a minute, after the explosion of the third round of Wehrmacht shells, the devil fleet finally had naval guns to start a counterattack. The shells with a screeching sound, as if they had eyes, smashed into the middle of Chen Jiliang's fleet and exploded, raising fireballs and water columns.
At this time, two of the already small warships have been sunk by bombing, and one has been blown up, and it will definitely not take too long to sink.
In this case, Chen Jiliang, who has an absolute numerical advantage, is more and more confident.
Although at this moment, many warships around him have been hit by shells, either injured, or buried at the bottom of the sea. But Chen Jiliang is sure that the few warships that have been injured left by the devil are by no means his opponents.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiliang immediately opened the public channel of the fleet's communications, and then ordered loudly: "Brothers, the devil fleet is about to end, give me a hard beating, use the most fierce artillery fire to give the devils a deadly attack, and completely sink them." ”
It took another twenty minutes for the heavy artillery fire to stop.
The entire fleet did not disappoint Chen Jiliang, except for one warship that lost power and surrendered, all the remaining warships were buried at the bottom of the sea.
The reason for the surrender is because the commander of the Devil Navy does not want to see more than a thousand navies who are still alive in the fleet buried at the bottom of the sea together. In order to give more than a thousand people a chance to return to Japan alive, only one warship was left to surrender.
As for the fleet in Chen Jiliang's hands, eighteen warships also suffered heavy losses.
Except for the five warships that were intact, the rest, both sunken and wounded, were all incapacitated.
The only thing that made Chen Jiliang fortunate was that the loss of naval strength was not large. Although there are very few warships left at the time of the expedition, the officers and men on the warships have basically survived, except for being killed directly by shells.
Because each warship towed several rescue boats, the more than 3,000 naval officers and men who went out on the expedition lost less than 800 men before and after.
Chen Jiliang is confident that as long as these navies are in hand, and with the attention that the great marshal Yang Xingguo attaches to the navy, it will not take too long for the navy to recover its combat effectiveness, and even have stronger combat effectiveness.
Thinking of this, Chen Jiliang, who was heartbroken, immediately regained his previous composure, and then ordered his subordinates next to him: "Send a telegram to the commander immediately, the navy has successfully eliminated the Japanese detachment, captured a warship, and sunk all the remaining warships, and is now salvaging the officers and men of the navy who have fallen into the water on both sides of the enemy."
