The Atlantic's two turrets are divided against the enemy. The cannon roared incessantly, spraying deadly projectiles at the Japanese army. The rumbling of cannons was deafening, the sound of explosions was incessant, and the huge hull was shaken.

For several years, Zheng Xuechang has been on the battleship and is used to hearing the roar of naval guns. In the midst of this distorting sound of cannonballs, he was able to distract himself from thinking about something else.

Even when the shell hit the Japanese battleship, the cheers of the officers and soldiers were automatically blocked by him, and there was no trace of fluctuation on his calm face.

Zheng Xuechang actually regretted it a little. As soon as the battle began, it was clear to him that he had won. The main purpose of this battle was to kill the Japanese supply ships. The eight submarines of the Maritime Resistance Army, against the six merchant ships and two oil tankers that have been discovered, are definitely victorious. Even if the Japanese army had one or two destroyers to escort them, the best situation for the little devil would be to be able to keep one or two ships.

Zheng Xuechang also knew that he was wrong, and his mistake was that he shouldn't have fought with the Japanese army. If the Atlantic had started fighting and retreating a few minutes after the artillery battle began, it would not have fallen into such a dangerous situation.

In the face of the desperate attack of the two heavy cruisers of the Japanese army, Zheng Xuechang did not have too much to worry about. What he wanted to think about was where the danger came from and what was Fu Qi's backhand in Okawauchi.

At this time, Zheng Xuechang made a decision to speed up the battleship. No matter what kind of sneak attack, the higher the speed of the battleship, the better the chance of victory. The subsequent evolution of the battle situation proved that Zheng Xuechang's order was extremely correct.

Fighting bayonets at sea is the same as fighting bayonets in the army, dangerous and bloody, and life and death when you meet.

This bayonet artillery battle did not last long, and in less than ten minutes, the battleship Atlantic had the upper hand. Close artillery battles, heavy cruisers and battleships were not at all on the same level. The speed at which the winner is determined is quite fast.

At 2:16, the battleship Atlantic was shot again, and the Naval Resistance Army suffered casualties.

At 2:18, the Naval Resistance Army achieved results, and a huge bomb hit the Japanese heavy cruiser Kumano. The shells had accurately hit the bridge of the heavy cruiser Kumano, and Yamada Navy Osa and his staff staff, who were directing the battle on the bridge, were all killed. The only one left was Yamada Daisa, who was thrown off the bridge and into the sea by the force of the cannonball's explosion. Later, he became a prisoner of the Naval Resistance Army. After this fatal blow, the heavy cruiser Kumano immediately lost its combat effectiveness, and the artillery fire was no longer coherent, and only two turrets were barely able to fire.

Two twenty-one, almost the same moment. The Atlantik was hit two more shots, while the Japanese flagship heavy cruiser Suzuya was fired back with one shell. Don't look at the ratio of hits to two. But for battleships and cruisers. The injuries are not on one level.

The Atlantic battleship was hit in the foredeck and stern side armor, and the shell that hit the foredeck caused casualties to the Naval Resistance Army. THE SHELLS OF THE 203MM GUN, MORE THAN 120 KILOGRAMS, WERE NOT SMALL, AND THEY BROKE THE ANCHOR CHAIN IN THE FRONT OF THE BATTLESHIP, AND THE HEAVY ANCHOR FELL INTO THE SEA. Two observation posts in the bow were killed on the spot. And the stern of the ship was hit, leaving only a small pit in the heavy armor. It's almost tickling.

The wound of the Japanese flagship heavy cruiser Suzuya was fatal, this shell penetrated the armor above the waterline on the side side, penetrated more than a dozen bulkheads, and passed over the power compartment. On the other side of the battleship

Explode. The explosion, which was not spectacular from the outside, was just a puff of black smoke. However, if you go deep into the interior of the heavy cruiser Suzuya, you will find that the entire interior of the hull has been blown up, the power system has completely lost its function, and almost no one has survived the entire power compartment. Its power is terrifying, beyond imagination.

The heavy cruiser Suzuya had lost its ability to maneuver, and although its main guns could barely fire, it was difficult to do any damage to the Atlantic battleship. And the Kumano heavy cruiser only had four main guns at this time, and its firepower was greatly reduced, and it was only a matter of time before it was sunk by the battleship Atlantic.

Although Fu Qi's bayonet tactics and grenade tactics caused some damage to the naval resistance army, they were not serious. As long as Zheng Xuechang is given a few more minutes, Zheng Xuechang has considerable confidence in the officers and soldiers he has trained, even if a single turret is against the enemy, a distance of ten kilometers will not require three rounds of artillery bombardment, and then the main guns of the Atlantic will be able to slow down, which is enough to deal with the Japanese army's concealed means.

In the distance, the sea exploded one after another, and two flames rose into the sky. The torpedo attack on the Japanese oil tanker by the submarine No. 007 of the Maritime Resistance Force was successful, two oil tankers were blown up, and two more blazing torches were added to the Bay of Bengal.

The firelight is so spectacular that even in the dark night, in the rain and fog, it is difficult to stop its style.

Lieutenant General Fu Qi of Okawauchi understood what was burning, but such heavy losses did not even make his face change slightly. In fact, just now, when the flagship was shot, he was the same, and he did not panic at all. All of this is his chip, no matter how heavy the loss is, if the hole cards are not missed, the winner cannot be determined, and he still has a chance.

The confrontation between the three destroyers of the Japanese army and the three Tengu-class destroyers of the Maritime Resistance Army gradually divided the winners and losers.

The Naval Resistance Army knew very well that the Japanese spears and torpedoes were very powerful. But if launched at a distance of more than ten kilometers, or even more than seven or eight kilometers, it is difficult to pose a threat to the battleship Atlantic. One is that its own accuracy is not enough to ensure the accuracy of its course. Second, the Atlantic has a complete sonar, which can detect torpedoes in advance and dodge.

In the confrontation, the three Tengu-class destroyers of the Maritime Resistance Force were actually at a disadvantage, and it was important to know that there was a five-knots speed difference between the performance of the warships, and no matter how high the level of ship operation was, it would be difficult to make up for this shortcoming. What's more, the level of ship operation of the Japanese destroyers is still above that of the naval resistance army.

The Naval Resistance Army is desperate, and the little devils are also desperate.

One Japanese destroyer was seriously damaged, while the other broke through the interception of the destroyers of the Maritime Resistance Army. Approaching the Atlantic battleship within three or four kilometers.

It should be said that in this three-on-two blockade battle, the Maritime Resistance Army lost. Although it was said to have an advantage in terms of results: it was seriously injured by a Japanese destroyer, and it was already slowly sinking at the moment. But in terms of the overall situation of the battle in front of him, he lost it.

A Japanese destroyer broke through the interception, slid a beautiful arc, and occupied a favorable torpedo launch position.

On the battleship Atlantic, the observation post had also discovered the crisis.

The main guns were still firing at the two Japanese heavy cruisers. It was already too late to divert the steering aim. At this time, the huge battleships could rely on nothing more than small-caliber anti-aircraft fire.

There were more than 60 anti-aircraft guns on one side of the battleship, and the dense barrels of the guns spewed out dense projectiles, and tracer shells pulled out lines of fire in the faint light.

The devil is really desperate. The destroyer broke through from a distance of six or seven kilometers to three or four kilometers, and was hit by at least twenty bullets in a short three-kilometer voyage, and the devils were killed and wounded. However, under the frenzied attack of so much artillery fire, the Japanese destroyer forced itself to a distance of more than 2,000 meters and fired four torpedoes at one time.

It's so brave.

On the battleship Atlantic, the sonar crew once again exerted its might, and the skillful cooperation between the sonar and the steering gear once again made a meritorious service, and the battleship Atlantic narrowly avoided this fatal blow. The closest torpedo to the battleship Atlantic was less than ten meters away, and it was really thrilling.

In this night battle, the Naval Resistance Army made full preparations and dispatched six air defense destroyers for lighting purposes, which can be described as a bloody investment. In fact, it was to prepare for close torpedo warfare by Japanese destroyers. In the navy of the little devils, there is a saying on the lips: "Five kilometers during the day, three kilometers at night." It refers to the torpedo warfare of Japanese destroyers. Over the past few years, the Naval Resistance Force has captured a considerable number of Japanese prisoners, and they have a very deep understanding of the crazy and dangerous tactics of the Japanese Navy's destroyers.

But in actual combat, it was the first time that the Japanese destroyer broke through to a distance of two or three kilometers, and in the face of the Japanese army's crazy artillery, Zheng Xuechang was not moved, but these torpedoes made Zheng Xuechang break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

At such a close distance, they were able to dodge the torpedoes of the Japanese army, and the training level of the Naval Resistance Army played a considerable role. Of course, there was a little luck, but the main reason was that the devil destroyer had been heavily damaged, the hull could not be balanced, and the torpedo firing conditions were really bad. Otherwise, the devil's oxygen torpedo shot at close range is not so easy to dodge.

THE BATTLESHIP ATLANTIC WAS MANEUVERING TO DODGE, AND THE MAIN GUNS COULD NOT FIRE, BUT THE 127MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS AND 76MM ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS, AS WELL AS OTHER ANTI-AIRCRAFT GUNS, WERE ALL FIRING. At more than two thousand meters, these anti-aircraft guns were aimed almost in a straight line, and the hit rate was amazing. In just a few tens of seconds, the Japanese destroyer was hit by at least 50 shots, and when it turned to it, it had become a pile of garbage floating on the sea, burning lifeless and slowly sinking.

On the heavy cruiser Suzuya, which had lost power, Fu Qi Okawauchi saw this scene, and there was no palpitation, but a thief's bright light appeared in his eyes. (To be continued......)
